Samantha got out of the black Range Rover in the parking lot in their university. Rodrigo who worked incognito was watching her in the sideline. Mariana who acted as a medical student was always in her classes including her internship at Adamson Hospital.
When she was about to enter her first class, the secretary of the university's director greeted her."Miss Samantha Reynolds, right?""Yes, ma'am. My name is Samantha Reynolds!" she respectfully replied."You have to come with me for a while. The director wants to speak with you. It's about your internship at the hospital!" the secretary carefully explained."Ma'am, is there a problem with my internship?" Samantha panicked.They were walking in big strides to the director's office while they spoke. This made the pregnant lady gasp while she was catching her breath."Are you okay? Don't worry about it. It's not serious!" the secretary explained as she glanced at her.Samantha just smiled and n"Is this a joke? Where is our daughter?" Verga was now panicking.They'd been late for an hour for the civil wedding. When the servants said Madeline left with Albert and they took a black Aston Martin, they were even delighted thinking finally Albert agreed to their wedding.However, it had been thirty minutes since they left but no update from them yet. That's the time that Lance started fidgeting and the person who came first in his mind was Benjamin Madrigal."Mrs. Swan, instead of wasting your time gawking at my son, why not checked the cctvs in this villa?" it was Christopher and he couldn't hide his annoyance especially when he saw Lance for the first time after 14 years.Verga immediately followed Christopher's suggestion while Lance stayed staring deeply at him."You are enjoying this, aren't you?" Lance uttered in rage.Christopher just sneered at him. He patted his son's shoulder and called Andy on the phone."Get Albert out of this stin
After a week...Lance Swan's men found Madeline in a hotel lying on the bed naked. She was alone and her clothes including her underwear were scattered on the floor. When they asked the staffs who brought her in the hotel and how she was brought, they all responded the same thing. They took Albert's photo on the magazine and they said she went with him willingly.But Lance knew it was Benjamin who kidnapped his daughter. The same with Christopher, he could recognize Benjamin's posture when he walked or stood straight. He immediately ordered his men to search for him anywhere in the country but even before they could block him in the airport, it was shown in the airline company that he took a business class flight going back to Spain."I want that b*stard in my hands alive!" Lance roared in their living room.Verga was still mourning for her daughter's horrible situation. She was brought to the hospital for treatment and the doctor found out that she probably had
Enrique went back to the US to continue managing their branch in New York. Isabella went with him to study to one of the prestigious universities for aerospace engineering courses. She stayed in Enrique's villa with still tight security. Ten men in black shirt surrounding her every time she went out.Samantha stayed in Ireland to continue taking up medicine and she also took double major. One was Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery and the other one was Physical Therapy.In Albert's side, he lost his appetite to lead their company. He was still their president but Christopher was mostly the one executing everything.Him?He vented his frustration on racing cars, joining multi-billion contest anywhere. Of course, included were lady fans who were dying to be with him in bed.Four years...Four years that Albert played havoc with his life to forget the woman he failed to protect."Albert, son! When will you stop fooling around and move on with y
As the new model of Aston Martin car and a black Mercedes-Benz behind halted in front of Michaels International Group, the reporters who had been waiting for an hour prepared for their gears and raced in line to get a better angle of the people getting off the two luxury cars.When the roof of the sports car rolled down, they started clicking snapshots of their main subjects going out of his car and the sophisticated woman at the passenger seat waiting for him to open the door.Flash of cameras were blinding his assistant as he followed him behind while Eve, his new scandal on tabloids and social media, wrapped her hand around his arm with chin up and breast out feeling proud being with the hottest racer and most handsome billionaire in the country.He, on the other hand, in dark shades exhibiting his usual icy cold, aloof, domineering aura ignored the wooing of the crowd and the entertainment reporters who were starving for some fresh gossip.But what so fresh i
"That b*tch!"Madeline slammed her hand down on the table as she abruptly stood up while glaring at the interview and photos that Albert and Eve had on tv."Look at how she wrapped her hand. Is she a snake?" Cheska snorted adding fuel to Madeline's burning rage. She was sitting on the couch with her crossed legs while holding a glass of margarita.They were in Swan's penthouse by the beach outside of the city celebrating Madeline's birthday. They're having their margarita party in the living room on the second floor covered with pure glass wall from floor to ceiling. The living room was facing an infinity pool and just below was the seashore facing the blue ocean.The place was simply breathtaking but the celebrant couldn't even feel any excitement. She was fuming since she arrived in that place."Did he reject my invitation just to be with that b*tch?" Madeline was already gasping in anger while she rubbed her chest."Calm down, Mad! It's your day. You
Sleigh bells!The whole city was covered with thick snow. Children in front of their houses were making snowman or having snowfight.Every residence across the city had different decors. Trees wrapped with Christmas lights and sparkling balls. Terraces with lanterns and glitters. A big snowman in the garden and grandpa Santa Claus playing with the children in the street."Wow! I miss Christmas in Ireland. Brother Enrique what do you think? Will we have an amazing Christmas this year?" Isabella asked her brother who was sitting on the passenger seat while staring smilingly outside of the window."You asked me, huh? Jaden is with you this Christmas. Isn't that enough?" Enrique teased while he looked at the rearview mirror.Isabella glanced at the man still gawking at the views outside. She nudged his elbow to get his attention. She brought Jaden in Ireland for the first time to officially introduce him to her parents."It's beautiful!" Jaden uttered as he
Albert was in Cymbals with Edward and Chester. At that time, all three of them were kinda single.Chester broke up with Cheska three years ago. So far, Cheska was his girlfriend who had the longest relationship with him. Compared to his previous girls, they only stayed either for months or the shortest was their shopping mall model, the one he dumped in the bar~ two weeks!While Edward, his relationship with Andrea was on and off. They both had strong personalities so most of the time, even in little things, they ended up fighting or breaking up. But just after few months, Albert and Chester would see them together again.There's just one person that Edward was somewhat challenged or even sometimes scared for Andrea to be with. That one was no other than the blue-eyed guy, Enrique!While Albert, everyone knew he was always single even if he was surrounded by women with class.Class which meant...They're from noble families.They're graduate with f
After the yuletide season, there came the new year which was celebrated by more. Everyone gathered in their terraces, fixed their eyes on the televisions, watched through their windows, and waited at their entrance gates.As they counted from ten to one and the man in white gown beat the big drum, the fireworks in the sky flourished with their amazing sparkles."Happy New Year!" what people screamed in every corner.The long tables were full with sumptuous meals. The ten grand chairs were occupied by their friends, fellow businessmen, and girlfriends."Cheers! For this coming year. Success for everyone fellas!" Christopher raised his glass of wine as he stood up.His company was having a year-end party at a 7-star hotel in Carter Tower, one of Edward's hotels. The party was consisted of his board of directors, managers, supervisors, and some reward-working employees.He didn't include all of Michaels International Group employees for they already had th
In a high-end restaurant in the heart of the city, two beautiful single moms were going to talk to clear a slate. They were both calm, grace, and dignified."You will always be my sister-in-law no matter what!" Liz sincerely told Samantha while the latter still felt embarrassed that she was one of those narrow-minded people who believed something was going on between them with her ex-husband."I'm sorry. I don't know what to say!" all she could say was this.But her actions spoke a lot of meaningful words she couldn't express in sentences."It's all right. It happens to people. And we are not exempted!" Liz just shook her head as she gave Samantha a genuine smile.Samantha left a light chuckle with her phrase and just like her, she also shook her head."Yeah! We are not exempted!" she repeated."So, when will you two get back together? Tristan is at his age to have a sibling. He's already almost ten!" she channeled their talks to another topic when they were done clearing things out."
"Albert is in Ireland now? Is that true?" Candice who had overseas photoshoots for months was surprised when Grace told her about what happened three months ago.She who never liked to watch nor read the news was really ignorant when it came to those current events but when it was all about fashion, she was number one!"Yes, Miss Candice. The hospital here transferred him to Houston Medical Hospital two weeks ago!" Grace sternly uttered."But why? The hospitals here are also good!" Candice still insisted on digging for more information about him."It was Dr. Houston's command!" Grace still casually replied though deep inside she would like to yell at her saying 'Stop wasting my time! Just fly to Ireland if you want!'"Okay, thanks for the info. Bye!" Candice told her in haste before she strode towards the lift.Inside the lift, she called her manager right away."Get me a ticket going to Ireland tonight. I need to see Albert!""Okay, right away!" her manager obeyed at once..After abo
"Sam, Isabella told me to come here to help you today and tomorrow. How's Young Master?" Laila was speaking to her as she opened the door while she strode to Albert's VIP Ward.However, she also halted in the middle and her exciting orbs went open as she saw who were Albert's visitors at that time.The four including Albert's doctor glanced in her direction and smiled. Laila would like to turn around and run away for a while but her flat shoes were nailed to the floor."Laila, right?" one of the doctors asked as he sauntered toward her.She just gawked at him. She couldn't believe she had just eaten her tongue. She flickered her eyes and tried to speak, but she staggered in her voice."Yes, dictor...I mean doc...tor...!" she shut her eyes for a moment while shaking her head. Then she composed herself and spoke again."Yes, Doctor Arnolds!" Laila finally uttered...without looking at him. Her eyes glanced around instead."Beautiful name...Like the owner!" Sean commented before he went ou
Earlier...When Albert saw the group of policemen about one kilometer away waiting for them, he did his best to draw Madeline's attention to something else while removing the cloth that was wrapped around his wrists."Why are you doing all of these? What happened to you?""What happened to me? It was you who made me this way. If you didn't cancel our wedding before, we're supposed to be husband and wife now, and maybe, we're supposed to have children now!" she yelled as her glare was burning his eyes."But you feel disgusted by me. Since that monster kidnapped me, you never talked to me again. You avoided me like I was a plague!" she kept on releasing everything that's been keeping her bottled up for too long."Then you suddenly fell in love with a servant? How dare you, Albert?" her fantasy was making her blind but Albert never really listened to her prattles."What's your plan on me now?" he asked as he sneered.Finally, he loosed the cloth. He sideglanced at Rona whose eyes were shu
"Grace, could you get me the reviewed documents from Houston Group? The one I approved yesterday!" Albert called Grace on his intercom but to his surprise, she didn't answer."Grace, the contract from Houston!" he repeated but still it was dead air."Maybe she went to the restroom!" he whispered as he walked out of his office to get the documents himself.But to his shock, he saw Grace lying unconsciously on the cold marbled floor. He was about to call 911 when somebody just hit him on his head. He irked in pain but he didn't lose his consciousness. As he turned around while holding his head that was hit, he squinted his eyes when he saw a sneering Katie appearance but he knew that was Madeline."You?" he exclaimed but even before he could push the alarm button, he received another hit that was stronger than the first. This time, he had lost his consciousness.Simon carried him back inside his office while Madeline followed. However, an employee who happened to pass by saw a glimpse of
She released an evil laugh while staring at the headline that bannered their glorious names:'Madeline Swan, Wanted! Lance Swan Captures!'She laughed at the authorities who always failed to arrest her.She laughed at Houston's men who were waiting for her arrival.Above all, she laughed at Albert and the Michaels for not sensing her closeness in their visibility."St*pid powerful people!" she aggravatingly snorted.She was holding a red wine while sitting on their usual white Italian leather couch.Where?In an originally breathtaking place that became a haunted house.Indeed, Lance helped her escape and fooled the authorities that she was going to Ireland. Her father prepared her hideout once again. But this time, no one would even think she went back to the city of opportunities, to that penthouse where two wanted criminals were killed more than two years ago. The one was killed by her."Miss Swan, they all thought you're in Ireland now!" Simon grinned.He was pouring Madeline a gla
"Even if you will kill me, I would never tell you where my daughter is. She deserves to do those things after everything that happened to her!" Lance Swan shouted at length in a wild, impassioned way."Congratulations, President Lance! You've just admitted you know where your daughter is!" Jake spoke in a contemptuous manner rather.The police station where Vanessa and Jake were assigned immediately arrested Lance Swan when Vanessa called that day.When the doctor in Maui nodded that it was Lance who ordered them to make Cheska's condition worst, she instructed her team to arrest him right away."I'm gonna be behind bars anyway. But I'm not going to tell you where my daughter is!" Lance firmly told him.Jake slowly leaned on the chair glaring at him while his fingers were rhythmically tapping the table. Just one more he thought. He might give this middle-aged man a knuckle sandwich.They were both startled when Vanessa opened the door and announced."Good news! The eel is in Ireland!"
At dinner, Albert brought Candice to a western diner. Her favorite. When the waiter arrived, he ordered almost all of her favorite food such as beefy casserole, cheesy turkey broccoli pasta, and biscuit topped chicken pot pie. He also ordered some dessert and a glass of red wine."Thanks for accepting my invitation, Albert. Even if our relationship is just a sham, at least you're still gentleman enough not to decline!" Candice shyly told him while she tucked some strands of her hair behind her earlobe.But Albert was way too busy glancing around while his hands were clasped on the table. As much as possible he didn't want to see Candice anymore since the latter started showing some interest in him."Ahm! I always love beefy casserole. Here, try some!"She stuffed a cube of meat in his mouth and because it was sudden he wasn't able to shun it. He reluctantly chewed the food while frowning at her."It's delicious, right? Oh, there's a sauce left at the corner of your lips!" She even took
In Maui Medical Hospital...Chester was staring at her weak pale face while his hand was gently brushing her hair. She was still unconscious but the doctor said, her condition was getting better.He gritted his teeth everytime he remembered what the doctor told them. He had been violated not just once. Based from the findings of a single pubic hair they saw on her thigh when the swat team saw her in the big empty house, the owner was Simon Flord."I'm gonna kill you, bastard!" he muttered while staring at her.He had been looking for Cheska since she suddenly left more than two years ago. He tried to call her but her phone was disconnected. He thought she intentionally cut ties with him so after months of trying, he finally gave up.When he heard a soft moan, he sat straight as he moved closer."Cheska!" he gently called her name.His blurry eyes were glued on her pallid face. He touched his cheek while his other hand clasped her hand with an IV dr
