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
She wanted to burst into anger, but tears filled her eyes because she feared Lucius's situation. His side was full of blood, and he was weak. Estella tried to remain composed, but inside, she was raging. She took a deep breath and looked Yuan straight in the eye. "You're a horrible person!" she said, her voice filled with venom. Yuan was about to approach her when Lucius insisted on standing up, and she immediately helped the young man. "Fuck you, Yuan! Don't touch her or else I'll kill all of you!" Lucius shouted angrily, his eyes burning with rage. Lucius protectively pulled her behind him as Yuan's men closed in, shielding her with his body. Lucius held his side to support the wound on his stomach as one of Lucius's arms blocked her protectively. Lucius still protected me even though he was wounded. Now I will fight more for what we have. She looked worriedly at Lucius. He was already pale, and the blood flow was steady on his side. Estella didn't know what to do; what if
His Father nodded and agreed to his request, "Okay, son. I will help you." It was as if a thorn had been pulled out of him because of what he heard. Now he felt his Father's presence; only now did he feel his Father call him the son he had waited for so long. He only asks for his Father's presence and support. "Thank you, Dad." After he said that, he saw the spark of joy in his Father's eyes that made him smile. "I have to go. I just need some of your men and guns to help me." "Take care." His Father willed and then patted his shoulder twice to support his walk. "You will fulfill our Deal." "You think Lucius is going to come here to save you, huh?" That voice that came from the door. "You're hallucinating!" Estella heard a familiar woman's voice. She tried to reflect on her face because it was quite dark where she was, and only the sun was shining on the bahay-kubo. The woman laughed and turned to the light to see who that woman was. Estella was surprised to see it was Delia.
