"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

    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

    "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.

    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

    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,

    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

    "Please take a seat," Lucius said, glancing down at the paper he was holding."Thank you," Estella replied as she sat down.He didn't look at her when he asked, "Why do you want to be an actress?" Estella thinks he is a snob and has a hostile personality, despite his handsome appearance.She sat properly before responding to the question. "Simple answer. I'd like to help my family get through poverty. I want to be known for my own talents, and capabilities and I want to make a lot of money. I'd like to get rich immediately." She answered confidently. The young man gazed at her for the first time, giving her a serious look. Estella had already seen Lucius' face at that point. His attractiveness stems from his wide eyes and lengthy eyelashes in a single setting. That appears to be flawless. He's God's personal favorite because he appeared to be a perfect human being.She couldn't take her gaze away from Lucius' attractiveness. He's tall, and he's clearly a gym enthusiast. He had a body

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.

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
