Entering the living room, she got alarmed when Nana Marcela called out her name while running down the stairs towards her. She just got home from the restaurant and a sudden worries engulfed her when she saw the old woman alarmingly descending the stairs right after she saw her. It's as if the old woman either he a good or bad news she was about to tell her.
"My Señorita! Señorito Alexander came home! He came home early this evening together with Señor Alonzo." She stated in a hurry but what bothered her is the old woman's expression. She seemed tensed and worried.
"Oh..." The only word that escaped her mouth as felt her shoulders dropped and her body suddenly wilt out of weakness. Nervousness and anxiety rushed all over her as she felt her toes weakened.
She was hoping Alec won't show up for a long time. She was badly praying for it actually. Alec was a rebel and he can defy Don Alonzo's will with no hesitations.&n
"It's getting darker, what are you doing here?" A gasped escaped her mouth when she heard that cold baritone voice from her back.It was Alec. He's riding his favorite stallion-Thunder Storm, wearing a cowboy hat, black sando partneringa skin tight jeans and a leather boots. If only she didn't knew that he was the formidable and arrogant Señorito Sebastian Alexander De Hizon, she would have been admire his physical features and attributes but unfortunately she was Emerald- the adopted child of Don Alonzo who was made to be his future wife for his son so she will never admit even in herself that she was secretly complementing him. Never she will admit that he was handsome and sexy as hell.Their eyes met. Strange, but her heart is racing like a runaway train and she couldn't help but to swallow an imaginary lump. She immediately jerked her eyes away from him and look back at the lake trying not to mind him. She understand now why all along,
"My Señorita, wake up..." The gentle tap of Nana Marcela in her upper arm waken her up that morning."What is it, Nana?" She asked sleepy trying to open her heavy eyes from a long sleep."Señorita Patty came home!" The old woman excitedly announced.With that, she immediately arise in the bed and face the old woman."Where is she, Nana?" She asked suddenly as her her face lightened up in joy and hope.Like a desperate person waiting for a miracle, her prayers has been answered. She could feel hopesuddenly flooded her mind. Patty came home to help her as she promised. In this family, Patty was the only one who cared for her feelings. She knew she love her like a real sister. She got mad at her for keeping the secret about her true identity but she knew she did that to avoid hurting her. Now that she came home in the hacienda, she knew she did this to save her."She was now having brea
Venezuela:"How are you my Senorita?" Nana Marcela asked who seemed very worried on the phone. It was an overseas call and the old woman used to call her every Sunday or whenever she got chance just to make sure she was fine in the country she was staying."I'm good. Still coping but I will make it Nana.I missed you and the people in the hacienda, you know." She stated out of melancholy."We missed you too my Señorita. People in the hacienda got worried and sad when they found out you left specially Mrs. Tilley and Mr. De Guzman.Do not worry to much okay? Everything will be fine soon." The old woman's voice was very comforting. Hearing her voice makes her eyes teary. She misses the old woman so bad. The way she takes good care of her and her genuine concerns, she couldn't help to feel grateful she have a loving Nanny who love and treated her like her own child.It has been a month

When she woke up, her body was sore she couldn't even move in the bed. The sensitive flesh between her thighs felt like it was extremely swollen. She tried to arise in the bed but she winced when she felt the searing pain in her vagina. Her hips were aching too and her breast are a bit hurt specially her nipples. It was four o'clock in the morning, it shows in the digital clock on top of the bedside table. The sun was not rising yet, it was still dark outside when she looked through the window. She forced herself to arise in the bed and stand up setting aside the pain and discomfort. She walked barefooted on the carpeted floor managing to not let her legs touch each other because its really painful when her sensitive part down there was being hit brought by the clasping of her legs when walking. A tear fell her cheek when she saw the evidence of last night in the bed sheet. The blood stain was so obvious in the white cloth covering the bed- the evidence o
She woke up with lots of rose petals splattered on the bed and all over the floor. With still sleepy eyes, she tried to blink twice and roam her eyes all over the bedroom. What caught her attention the most is the basket of white tulips she saw in the bedside table with a small note attached on it. Still being sore, she moved a bit and tried to reach the basket of flowers careful not to make a rapid movement. She could feel that her body still sore for what happened last nigh. Picking up the note to read, she was not aware a sudden smile formed her lips thinking about Alec.Last night was the best night I ever had. I hope it somehow erase the bad memory I brought you the other night. I admit I've never been gentle before and I was so cruel. I am a monster and what I did was unforgivable. I grew up hard and harsh to you because when it comes to you, it was just so hard to control my feelings. I am not proud for what I did to you and I deserve
"Where are we going?" She asked Alec. He dragged her through the dock that as he gently held her hand while they were walking through the shore that afternoon."We'll go sailing." He gently replied while giving her a warm and sweet smile as he guide her the path they were leading.They stopped in front of a yacht that has a name Mi Preciosa. She was awed in the magnificent look of the yacht in front of her. The design and appearance of the yacht simply spit elegance and luxury. If she was not mistaken, the yacht surely cost millions."Is this your yacht?" She couldn't help to asked. She just saw him smiled and stare at her.Who would have thought that one day he will smile to me this sweet. The arrogant and cruel
At past seven in the evening, Nana Marcela called them to come down for dinner. Together, they went through the dining room holding each other hands. She even noticed the surprised look of Nana Marcela and some servants they met in the dining room when they saw their clasping hands. She knew this is new to their sight, they were aware that they were like cat and dog and do not get along at all even when they were kids, who would have thought they will reconcile one day and bound to marry each other in the end? They might not used to them being married couple, even herself never thought this will happen. On the other hand, the Señor Alonzo seemed so delighted to see them sweet while walking through the dining table. Alec gently pulled out a chair for her and let her be seated first before he decided to sit beside her."I can see the honeymoon do you good. I was right, you were a perfect couple indeed. What do you think Marcela?" Senior Alonzo stated and face
Each and every day passes by, he was loving Emerald more and more. This has been the life he had ever dreamt of. The life he will always choose over and over again. She all she ever wanted in this life and it's kinda amazing she finally got her completely. To wake up every morning to see her beautiful and bright face, be able to hold her in his arms, and kiss her endlessly. To chat and laugh with her each day and all night long. To make love with her until they both fell asleep in each other's arms. It was indeed contentment; a life fulfilled. She has the biggest, kind and sympathetic heart, the most beautiful woman he had ever known in his entire life. No woman could ever compare her, she was one in a million. His precious Emerald, his lovely, understanding, and forgiving wife. Until now, he can't seem to believe how he finally got her heart and what he did right to make her love
Standing in front of the altar made him nervous. Silly of him but the feeling of excitement and anticipation for the ceremony made him anxious. It's kinda funny because he was more nervous now than their previous wedding before. He could still remember how surprised his wife was when he proposed to her. He asked the servants in the mansion to prepare a dinner date in the garden. Those amazing people gladly helped and cooperated when they heard his plan of proposing Emerald to marry him again and this time it would be for real. No manipulation of their lives, no lies, and secrets. This time it would be their choice for it will be forever. He knelt down on bended knees, showed the diamond ring that symbolizes his unfading love for her, and then asked her to marry him again. He did it in front of the people of the hacienda as they excitedly watching them anticipating for her answer. Thanked God she said yes with no hesitations. That night was one of the best special moments h
After the long talk they had, Alec convinced her to come back home to the hacienda. Sandra was the first one who learned about her decision to leave the restaurant and come back home with Alec. She said she understands and supports her decisions. She even cried and told her that she will be missing her but she knew deep inside her, her friend was happy that Alec and her got finally get back together. Sandra actually helped her to make the right decision. She will only fool herself if she keeps on denying what she really feels. The truth is although Alec had hurt her too much, the fact still remains that she loves him still. The only way of moving on is not forgetting, it's embracing the past and keep it as a lesson to move forward in the future. Everybody deserves a second chance and she just hopes this chance on their relationship will mean forever. In this life nothing is certain, nothing is perfect. Trust, faith, and their love for each other will be their foundat
"I made a soup for you. You lose a lot of strength so you need to eat." She got stunned when after an hour he left her room, he came back carrying a tray of soup and some bite-sized chopped fruits. He gently helped her to get up and seated next to her then. "D-Did you cooked this?" She couldn't help to ask. "I'm not good at cooking unlike you but I think this is edible. Just bear my cooking please..." He replied apologetically. She hid a smile for that because she felt it was kinda sweet for him to cook for her which he never did before. Did Alex really exert some effort and cooked for her? Since when the high and mighty Alexander De Hizon learned to cook and use a stove? This was all new to her. She saw him scoop some soup using the spoon and feed her. Her mouth willingly opened and ate the soup. She saw him smiled as if he was pleased she followed him. "Good girl." He stated.
It has been a week since she came back to Madrid and after the emotional talk she and Alec had in the garden of the mansion, she never is at peace anymore. She continued her life in Madrid, came back to work in the restaurant, tried experimenting with the new recipe but she couldn't seem to concentrate on the job. Alec keeps on butting her mind and the last talk they had. Remembering what happened in the hacienda, how Alec had said his emotions. When she saw the regrets and desperation in his eyes, how he begs for a second chance. His guilt, anguish, and pain reflected his sad eyes. She couldn't seem to forget those emotions he showed her. It feels like she had seen a wretched man, totally so broken. After the night they talked, she decided to leave and go back to Madrid the morning after that. Nana Marcela and Patty got surprised by her sudden decision for they haven't expected her to leave that urgent. Even though they were stunned and disappointe
"What's your verdict?" She asked Gino. She came an hour early in her shift that morning to practice the dessert she was experimenting with. She was making a Crema catalana with a twist by adding fresh-cut fruits to it. Crema catalana is a creamy dessert and is a Spanish custard dessert very similar to crème brulee. She was planning to add it to the menu plan for the weekend desserts once she had perfect the taste of it. It was almost done as she was doing the finishing touch when Gino found her in the kitchen and accompanied her. She asked him to taste it and he gladly obliged. "It's good. It's creamy and tasty. Are you planning to put it on the dessert menu?" She saw him once scooped a spoonful of the desserts and ate it as if he was savoring and enjoying the Crema catalana. "Yup. What do you think?" she asked. "It's delicious. You're an amazing chef, Emerald." Gino complimented her as he came closer to her and gently
It was another ordinary day in Madrid. The place was so amazing and she loves the climate for it was already summer. After she left, she has decided to fly to Madrid, Spain - the land where her true family belonged. Yes, she found out that the Oropeza are Spanish nationals. Now she understands why there's a part of her feels that the country was kind of dear to her heart. It was because it is the place where she truly came from. It was the first place that came up in her mind when she was on the brink of misery and she doesn't know where to go. There, she met Mr. Alejandro Pelaez, which according to Attorney Peter Gutierez was her father's best friend. When the old man learned that she was alive and decided to settle in the country, he met her and they have a long and quiet talk. The old man was generous and at ease to be with. He's fun to talk with and she has a feeling he is a trustworthy person. He gladly offered her a place to live which she declined and reminded her t
The moment he saw his wife opened her eyes, he couldn't help to get emotional and thank God for it. It has been two days she was sleeping and with those times he never slept nor left her in the hospital. He was so scared to death afraid that if he left even just for a few hours, he will lost her. He never been scared this way before and God knows how he regret what happened. He was blaming himself for the lost of their baby and he was so damn scared what would be Emerald's reaction if she found out that they lost the baby because of the accident. "How are you feeling?" He worriedly asked. He saw her eyes roam around the room for a moment as if wondering why she was in an unfamiliar place. Her eyes slowly flew to him when she acknowledged his voice. He noticed her winced in pain when she attempted to move. She must have felt the pain of her stitches due to the operation she had. "Do not move too much. You broke some bones on your leg and
Seeing his wife lying in that bed hurt him so much. Her face and lips are pale. She been lying in that bed for almost two days now and she wasn't waking up yet. Regrets, grief and anger for himself obstructing him. How could he let this happened to her? They lost their baby and he didn't even know she was pregnant for pete's sake! How couldn't he knew about it? Why did she didn't told him? He was nothing but a stupid jerk, an asshole. Now he felt so devastated and angry to himself. How could their relationship turned this way? This was all his fault. He had made a rift between them and acted a jerk and now here's the consequences of his stupid actions. He had hurt his wife, their baby got sacrificed. If he could only bring back the past, he wouldn't do what he have done, he will never make that mistake and he will never hurt her like he did. He should've been a better husband, he should've been more good to her. He should've love her the right way. And in
