"Aiden, cancel all my appointments this afternoon!" Albert commanded when he went back to his office and took his suit in his built-in closet.
"But President, the meeting this afternoon is important!" Aiden was adamant to follow his words."Reschedule it!" he exclaimed while pushing the arrow button of his private lift.Aiden had no choice but to obey. He bowed at him and when the lift door was closed, he breathed a frustrating sigh.In her car, she rolled up the roof and clenched her grip on the steering wheel. Her tears were non stop. She didn't know where to go.To Andrea's place?No, the last time she went there, her own bestfriend told her to go back to the mansion. And probably, she was also busy at the hospital. Just like her, Andrea was also a doctor. A General Surgeon.She had decided to go to their place in River Park. She visited her Aunt Maria before she went to Ireland and that was few months ago. She missed her street smart talks and"Madz, what you're planning is a crime. Don't do it. You're gonna be put behind bars!"Cheska quivered at what Madeline told her. She was enveloped with rage and what happened to her five years ago left a deep bruise in her soul. She would like to kill Benjamin.The problem was, she had no idea where he was?Even their men, they couldn't find him. She was having a nightmare almost every night that Samantha's beast uncle was feasting on her body.Sometimes, she would scream in her sleep or fell on the floor sweating or crying. Since then, she neglected her treatment. She stopped working either. She was losing her sanity little by little.Now, she would like Samantha to experience the same thing since she thought Samantha snatched Albert from her.Her infatuation.Her dream man.She gritted her teeth and flared at Cheska. The latter moved back in her seat upon seeing her murderous stare."Madz, calm down!" she gently told her.Her hand
"Dad mom, what happened?"Albert called out in the quiet mansion upon stepping in the living room."Tristan!" Samantha called her son right away as she strode towards the stairs.When the people in the household heard the two, they all went out and faced their frantic expressions. Tristan also strode downstairs and hugged his mom tight still sobbing.Samantha immediately knelt down to hold her son and stroke his back."Mommy, let's go home!" he beseeched to his mom.Albert was hurt seeing his son cry so he squated down to tell him what happened but Tristan buried his head on his mom's neck instead. He didn't want to see any of the Michaels at the moment.Albert felt his heart was just crushed into pieces when he saw Tristan's reaction. He tried to touch his back but Tristan brushed his hand off.When Samantha saw Fe and Gloria, she got up while carrying her son and went towards them."Mom, what happened? Where are dad Christopher and mom
"I'm glad you called me for help. If not, I would still have to bribe someone to help me with my revenge plan. Those uncle and niece need to suffer. That servant had become bold since the Houston found her!"Madeline was in the pool water dipped up to her chest, right hand was holding a tequila sunrise while her other hand was stretched on the edge of the pool."You have a friend. The one who came with you at Albert's party. Don't tell me, she left you behind!" she, who was wearing a set of diamonds, sipped her margarita elegantly before she spoke."She chickened out. I sent her back to her hometown. Took all of her gadgets, phone, and reset them so she can't contact anyone anymore!""If she remembers a certain phone number, I think you're going to have a problem!""You think, I didn't think of that. Of course, I did. That's why I had my female bodyguard to watch her closely!""Female bodyguard?" she exclaimed at Madeline.She seemed not to underst
When Enrique heard his explanations, he gnashed his teeth and slammed the desk with his fist."Samantha will be treated at the hospital. And Tristan ~""Tristan will be going back to Ireland, Michaels whether you like it or not. He's not safe in your place!" he cut Albert off."Houston, he is my son. She is my wife now and I will never let you nor anyone take them away from me!" Albert was heating and his words weighed a lot of pain and rage.He had lost Samantha before. He was just starting to have a good bonding with Tristan. He didn't want his family to be divided like this."You brought that grim reaper to your mansion because you want to annoy my sister. How dare you say no one can take them away from you? You failed to protect my sister and my nephew. You have no right to be with them!"His resentment towards Albert that started when the latter impregnated Samantha grew even more. Before he was just testing his sincerity to his sister, but when Sa
Before Christopher went home after fixing his discharge papers, he visited Samantha's VIP Ward first. He went with Lauren who was still drowning in guilt for not controlling her anger towards her grandson.Now, because of that, they would never see Tristan for a while. It was such a great pain to feel from grandparents when they couldn't see their grandson and what's more hurting was to witness their son's family falling downhill.They just got married for Pete's sake. Albert was just starting to be a father for Tristan. He and Samantha were separated for years.What kind of struggles had they been experiencing since they confessed their love to each other?When would it be stopped?Would they have a happy ending?Lots of questions kept popping up in her mind as they walked towards her ward."Dear, come now. This is Sam's ward!"She was brought back to her senses when Christopher whispered to her. They were now standing in front of the door. T
The altar was filled with the mellow sound of music 'From This Moment On' by a famous country singer. The four rows guests were immersed on the soft sweet melody the piano was making while they were waiting for the person in the spotlight~ the bride!On the front seats of the two church pews, seated were reserved seats for Jackson and Sophia. Tristan was with Enrique. Behind them were Keith, Antonio, and some men from Houston household.On the other row were reserved seats for Gloria and Andy. Christopher, Lauren, Samantha, and Albert were beside them. Behind them were Laila, Maria, Fe, and Sebastian.Jaden was in between his parents wearing in tux and trembling. He had no idea how many times had he wipe his face for he had been sweating non stop. It had been ten minutes, he said.How come Isabella didn't enter the narthex yet?He glanced at the smiling Enrique from time to time. But the latter had been busy having hand-gesture-play with his nephew that he n
"Tristan, be good and eat well with grandpa Jackson and grandma Sophia, okay?"Samantha squated down and pinched her son's cheek. She was smiling but it didn't reach her eyes. They were at Houston's private airport going back to Ireland."Yes, mommy. You, too don't forget to take your medicine!" the five years old boy replied.He wrapped his little hands around Samantha's neck and rested his head on her shoulder. He was still not to use to get separated with his mom especially now that she wasn't in good health.Albert who was beside Samantha, was waiting for his son to talk to him and to at least acknowledge his presence. He would like to touch his back but afraid that Tristan might just brushed it off.Christopher and Lauren were also with them watching the gloomy scene of parting. When Tristan released his mom, he glanced at his father...sternly and coldly."Mr. Michaels, please take care of my mom. Don't let anyone hurt her again. Don't bring anymor
After a month, Samantha's treatment continued in Georgetown University Hospital. The progress report showed that her condition was getting better."Dr. Houston, in few months, you'll be healed!" Dr. Turman uttered."Thanks Rey, I feel a bit better!"Samantha replied as she slowly got down from her bed and checked the report that Dr. Turman slid in the clear pocket of the footboard control panel."After your treatment, what will you do?" Dr. Turman adjusted her IV drip as he lifted his head reaching out for the liquid med in plastic pack."Albert and I are visiting Ireland. It has been a month since Tristan went back to my family. He misses his son a lot!"She placed back the report file and held the IV pole."I'd like to stroll outside for a while!""Sure! Are you alone? Where's Taña?" he asked about the nanny that Albert hired to take care of her when he couldn't see her in the room."I asked her to get some stuffs at the mansion
