Love Within The Shine CHAPTER 34
Estella braced herself and tried not to cry, but it was useless. "Sorry," she said, her voice breaking. "I know that you're struggling now because of me. You were able to disobey your mommy because of me, and you were able to let go of your dreams because of me. I hindered the good plan of your parents for you.." She cried because of the tears in her eyes and the lump in her throat. She tried to hide her feelings from the young man, but Lucius could see her sadness. His two hands caressed her face and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm so sorry," he said softly, eyes full of compassion. "Estella, you don't need to worry about those. I'll make the way clear." "No, I don't want to. I'm the source of all of your problems, so I should be the one to disappear from your life so you don't have to suffer through this anymore." The young man sighed heavily, then stared in disbelief into her eyes. "What do you want me to do?" "I want to fix this on my own. It's up to me to clean up

"Big nonsense! You’re such a liar! I don't believe you! Why did you insult and ruin him? For money, right? Then now you will say you love him? What exactly are you planning on doing with my son, huh?! Tell me so I can give you what you want and it'll all be over!" "Nothing. All I want is for you to respect us. I want you to bless my son as Lucius' father. We are going to have a child and I will not let my child grow up without a father to recognize and support his or her identity. I'm not asking for much, just a little respect and acknowledgement from you." The lady laughed and shook her head. "I am investigating you. You work in a club, many men go there. This means you are a flirt and easy to seduce. How can I be sure that the child in your belly is Lucius' child?" The lady looked at her with a disgusted look and then looked down at her belly. Estella's blood almost boiled because of what the lady said, but she didn't want to hit her because she still knew the word "respect." Sh

MOTHER... SANDRA... When Estella opened her eyes, they were the first person she saw. Both of them were sitting in the chair next to the bed and just looking at her. She tried to sit up but felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She remembered what had happened, and she felt terrible. She suddenly noticed that she had IV Fluid again, which Vanessa had just removed from the back of her hand. She remembered everything that had happened before she lost consciousness, and it all flashed before her in a rush. "My baby?" She asked them. "How is my baby? Where is Doc Andrea?" Neither of them replied. They remained silent, looking at each other as if pushing each other to see who would speak. Their faces fell, and their eyes were swollen. Her chest was painful because she felt she needed to know something. They were both trying to contain their emotions, but it was clear that they both wanted to say something. "Mother, Sandra? My baby is still healthy, right? Like Doc Andrea always says." S

Estella was holding back her tears as she nodded. The young man kissed her lips again and then the tip of her nose before burying his face in her neck again and hugging her tightly as if he didn't want to let her go. He seemed afraid that she would suddenly disappear. Their embrace was so tight that it was almost as if he was scared she would disappear if he let her go. "BABY Luo, I'm so sorry, huh? If mom leaves your dad. I'll do it because I know I can't be good for him like your Grandma Lavinia said." Estella breaks down in tears as she talks to the small vase where the ashes of her baby and the young man are kept. She can't help but feel guilty for the pain she has caused. She is determined to ensure that her baby's memory will forever be cherished and remembered. Estella promises to herself that she will strive to be the best person she can be and never make the same mistakes again. Lucius left. Before the young man left earlier, she hugged him very tightly because she kne

"HEY! Jessica! The water I drew is mine but you used it to take a bath?! I hate you! I'll be late for school. It's the first day of school! Argh!" Lara shouted at their youngest sister. Their youngest sister just rolled her eyes, unperturbed by Lara's outburst. "You know, sister. I didn't have a shower yesterday because of the disconnection of water. Well, you take a bath every day. So don't be selfish." This is Jessica's reasoning. Her mother scolded her sisters for constantly fighting. "I told you to stop, but you can't listen to your mother! You're always late, and it's the first day of school today. The noise you make will make our neighbors angry. We've only been here for a few weeks, and we could get evicted if we don't quiet down!" It's been almost three weeks since Estella left Lucius' life for good, and the pain and heartbreak she feels are still very fresh in her mind. It's been almost three weeks since Estella left Lucius' life, and the pain she feels is still fresh.

Lucius pinned her against the door and deepened the kiss. She felt like she was in a trance as they continued to kiss, not wanting the moment to end. The feeling of his lips on hers was intoxicating, and she couldn't get enough of him. Estella didn't know why she let Lucius drag her to his condo. She was excited about the young man and couldn't understand why she was acting differently from what her mind dictated. Estella wanted more from Lucius, and it scared her. She tried to turn back to talk to Lucius, but the moment before, he kissed her. And she knew it was too late. She had been enveloped at the moment, and it felt like she was in another world. "Now, I can have you, I want you so bad.." Lucius' raspy voice was barely audible, and Estella could feel Lucius' intense desire from the eyes so that she could see the reflection in the mirror. She turned to talk to him, but he was already engulfed in hot kisses, so she couldn't do anything but move with the young man's lips. She m

When Estella woke up the following day, Lucius was no longer by her side, and she looked around the room and knew she was in Lucius's condo. She thought it was just a dream that she came along and let Lucius enter her life again. What will happen if they start the relationship again? No, it can't. When her mother found out, she was sure she would be angry. She also does not want to disturb the young man's life and his family's. She got up and quickly went to the bedroom door, but when she turned the doorknob, it was locked from the outside! A key was used to lock it from the inside. Why is she locked in this room? Where is Lucius? What is happening to me? She was confused and nervously asked herself as she kept turning the doorknob that wouldn't open no matter what she did. She was startled from her thoughts when someone turned the doorknob, and Lucius's face appeared in front of her. Before she could react, he quickly pulled her to sit on the bed, and she could feel the tightn

During the one week that Estella and Lucius stayed on the island where they were hiding, there was not a day or hour that they were sad. Every day that they spent together was full of happiness and love. But the fear in her heart won't go away, especially when she lied to her family that she had a new job and it was a stay-in, so that she couldn't go home. Estella was worried about the future but determined to stay strong for Lucius's sake. She thought of her family and how much she missed them, but she knew that she had to make this decision for her and Lucius's relationship. Estella was determined not to let fear and doubt bring them down, and she would do whatever it took to keep them together. She knew that if they kept believing in each other, they would eventually find a way to go home without complication. Estella doesn't want her happy relationship with the young man to end, but she knows they can't hide from people who will forever hinder their love, especially in the young

Love Within The Shine SPECIAL CHAPTER
Estella looked at her husband, Lucius, with a concerned expression and asked, "Are you ready to face him?" Lucius nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I'm ready." Lucius slowly turned around after putting his clothes on, and his face fell with sadness. "I must face him since he is still part of my existence. He has become part of Nicole's and my life, and I cannot forget about him," he answered Estella with a heavy heart. Estella approached her husband to adjust the collar of his clothes. "I hope you can both forgive each other and start anew." Lucius smiled. "I truly wish that to be the case. I'm desiring to be free of the heaviness I carry in my chest, as well as the anger he carries in his heart." Estella pressed her lips against Lucius's, delighting in the sensation of their mouths coming together for a few seconds before they pulled apart. Estella smiled, and Lucius replied with an affectionate expression. Both of them smile at one another with a hint of affection. T
Love Within The Shine EPILOGUE
LOVE LAST FOREVER Estella was distracted because a warm hand caressed her cheek in the middle of her deep sleep. She slowly opened her eyes to find out who that daredevil was. But when she saw Lucius' face, her lips spontaneously smiled and she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" Lucius apologizes to her. "Isn't it obvious?" She asked her husband, rolling her eyes. Lucius just laughed. You are right in thinking, they are married on paper and in the eyes of God. After the revelations that day, everyone decided to have Lucius take a DNA test to find out the truth. Both Lucius and she were very happy when it was probably not really Arthur's son, because she, Estella, was the real daughter and blood relation of Arthur Hudson. They just hid the truth and only their families knew. Estella didn't change her last name, either. She stayed as Estella Velazquez and Lucius as Lucius Hudson. They don't want to mess things up. Thanks to Lucius' mother Lavinia,
Love Within The Shine CHAPTER 51
While Lucius' lips covered Estella's lips, he gently placed her on the young man's bed like a gold that was afraid of being tarnished. She was like a pearl that did not want to be tarnished and hurt. Estella felt Lucius' arms around her, she felt safe and secure, as if she was in a cocoon of warm love and affection. Lucius' hands roamed around her body and caressed her skin in a delicate and gentle way. Estella felt her heart race as Lucius' lips moved against hers. She felt herself melting into him as the kiss became deeper and more passionate. She felt as if all her worries, and concerns were melting away, replaced by a feeling of utter bliss. Lucius' kiss was like a drug that was making her feel intoxicated with pleasure. She felt as if she was in a dream, and the only thing that mattered was the two of them in that moment. "Lucius.." Estella murmured Lucius' name as their lips parted for a moment and looked at each other full of love and desire. She brushed his soft, dark hair a

"LUCIUS! Where are you taking me?! I can't see!" Estella frowned when she asked her boyfriend. They had just gotten out of the car, and he supported her because her eyes were still closed. "It's a secret for now." That was the only response from the young man. Curiosity deepened in Estella's mind when she felt the waving water on her feet, bringing coldness throughout her body. She felt the water with one foot and knew they were in the sea. "Lucius? Where are we?" She suddenly felt scared because the young man beside her disappeared. She groped for air and thought it was somewhere nearby. But no, the young man was gone. "Lucius?" She called the young man's name in a nervous voice. "Lucius? It's not a good joke!" She wanted to remove the blindfold, but it was tight. But she insisted, and when she succeeded in removing it, her eyes widened when she saw a large tarpaulin floating in the air, and going along with the gust of wind, there was a written note attached to it. 'I lov

Estella laughed bitterly. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "I don't care about you, I don't care about all of you, so can you please leave!" She turned her back on Lucius and walked away, but she hadn't even taken a single step away when Lucius carried her like a sack of rice. No matter how much she struggled to escape his arms, she still couldn't because the young man was too strong for her. "Put me down! What the hell, Lucius!" "For goodness' sake, Estella, will you just keep quiet and stop worrying everyone! You're putting everyone in danger by being so impulsive! Just think how worried your family will be if something bad happens to you!" Estella smiled, not happy but hurt, looking evilly at the young man. "Stay away from me, and I don't need your worry. You tricked me, and it's like you killed me, Lucius. In the secret you kept, we are blood-related. I'm your sister. Destiny really plays a different game." Her words were full of resentment and bitterness, laced with

"I'm very sorry, Estella.." That was all her father said. "Your love for my son is forbidden. Because you are related by blood." Lucius' mom said for the third time, her voice filled with sadness. "Now, go away. I don't want my son is carrying a heavy feelings because of you, Estella. Now that you know the truth, maybe you've wondered why I kept you away all this time." "Let's go, Estella." "You are all disgusting liars! Why did you hide this from me for all this time? I'm hurting so much. You hurt me, mom and I hate all of you!" Estella yelled, and her eyes filled with tears. "I thought I could trust you, but now I realize that I was wrong. I am so angry and disappointed in all of you. How could you do this to me? This betrayal cuts deep, and it's something that I will never forget." Tears flowed down both her cheeks, one after the other. She could feel nothing but pain in her heart. Her hands and feet trembled. It was like she was not herself. She wanted to convince herself tha
Love Within The Shine CHAPTER 47
"Lu-Lucius!" Estella called the young man's name while trying to hold his hand. Now has she seen the young man again, because the young man did nothing but avoid and hide from her. She was going crazy, wondering why the young man acted this way. She wants to know why; she feels he loves her, but she can't figure out why the young man treats her like this. Estella became desperate and started to shout his name more and more. She wanted to know what had happened. Why was he pushing her away? She was willing to do anything to find out why he behaved this way, even if it meant she had to do something extreme. She couldn't bear the thought of losing him, but she was starting to realize she wouldn't get the answers she sought. He's been avoiding her for almost a week, and it hurts. She wants to talk to him and find out what's wrong, but every time she calls, he doesn't answer. She can't help but feel like he's pushing her away, and she doesn't understand why. She's been trying to be under

But now, it's not just about you! It's about my life! It's about Estella.." His voice softened when he said the young woman's name. "I thought the only person I should hate was dad. But Mom, you too... You lied to me. I hate you." He felt like he was about to give up while thinking about Estella, as if half of his personality had died. His mommy still held him, while his daddy was still shocked, especially when he mentioned Estella's name. "What do you mean?" His daddy asked in surprise. He turned a darker look at his Father. "Estella, she is the daughter of Selia Velazquez, she is your daughter!" He shouted angrily. "And, fuck! She's the woman I love!" His Father's jaw dropped, and his mother's eyes were filled with tears. It was like cold water poured over them while his heart was broken and broken, and his mind was running through so much. He had always been a bit of a rebel, and he knew his parents would not be happy with his revelation. But he could not deny his feelings an

"Mom.. It's okay with me, even though dad has another family. I just want to feel that somehow I have a father.." She pleaded with her mother. "It's okay if you have other families, dad. Thank you, because you came to me in this situation that I did not expect." "Estella, my daughter." Her Father came to where she was and hugged her. Estella's mother could no longer stop her Father from entering the room. "I'm so sorry.. I don't know, I don't know where to find you.. I'm really sorry, my daughter.." "Just admit that you didn't look for me and didn't find out if you had a child. Her mother was angry, and she didn't hide it. "Don't act like you did everything, Arthuro. You could have at least tried to find me." Her Mother was crying, and her eyes looked at her Father with mixed emotions. It was OK with her if her Father had another family. She would accept it with all her heart, and it was open to her heart. She didn't expect them to be whole, especially if he had another family. But
