Lyla run through her list again before going to the counter and pay the grocery. She picked additional lettuce and pushed the trolley to the counter when Bryce appeared in front.He helped her with the groceries, loaded them in her car trunk, and invited her for a coffee. Lyla accepted the invitation though her mind refused. She already had a hunch why he followed her and clearly not to catch up."How have you been, Lyla? You look great, by the way," Bryce started the conversation to ease the tension between them. Lyla was silent the whole time."I'm doing well, thank you, sir Bryce," Lyla keep her words short."That's good to hear, and you are driving now. Moving out with Fabe was a good decision.""Forgive me but yes. She taught me many things, especially improving myself, and treated me as family.""Good then," Bryce smiled, playing with his thoughts on how to start his questions about Fabe."How about you, sir? Everything okay with you?""Call me Bryce, Lyla, and to be honest, it'
Remembering Spain again brought back heartache for Bryce. Nova's emergence in the past months shocked Spain, and now, she's gone again. Waiting for another news about her is frustrating. But Bryce was determined to end his agony. His flight to Spain was delayed for an hour. Bryce waited patiently in the airport. Although he was informed about it earlier, he still insists on staying than hanging out with his family. After what Lyla revealed to him, he avoided them on many occurrences, or he would blurt out what he discovered in their faces. Sitting in the middle with all the passengers, a kid caught his attention. He was running while calling his mommy excitedly. "Fabe?" Bryce uttered. Watching intently as Fabe held the kid tightly in her arms. Kissing his cheeks unstoppably. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and took a video of her clinging to the kid calling her mommy. He stood to come near her, but the man pulled her close to his arms and kissed Fabe's cheeks, astonished
"Bryce, please, leave her alone," Lyla pleaded and was about to close the door, but Bryce stopped with his arm."I'm not leaving without an answer. I know you can understand me, Lyla. Please, I want to know."Lyla knew Bryce would be very persistent. So he let him in. Maybe it's time to tell him everything, but not from her. She called Fabe and told her about Bryce."What! Lyla sends him away before dad finds out. We are in the middle of some planning here!" Fabe whispered over the phone. In her mind, she was glad they decided to plan at Stephen's house or Massimo would see him."I am trying, Ava. But he is not leaving. What should I do?""I'll be there. Just buy me some time."The thought of her leaving abruptly might spark suspicion in Massimo and her two brothers. Not in the middle of their meeting for the upcoming party of Rolando Estephano. Fabe decided to cooperate a little. Lyla would know what to do with him."Is she coming or not?" Bryce asked, seeing Lyla talking to someone
"What is Bryce doing at the party!" Nova removed her mask and trashed it."I have no idea! But first, we have to get away from her3 before the cops arrive," Cali escorted her to the car."All the famous business owners are invited. It's expected that he'll come.""Dammit!" Nova cussed out. It has been ten years, but the day she met Bryce in Spain was forever carved in her heart.Flashback."Who are you?" he asked nervously. "I'm Nova, and you?""Bryce, Bryce Hamilton. You are on the news. You can crash in my room if you like. Just don't hurt me," his sweating heavily. He really thinks I will kill him. "Thank you. So nice of you, and don't worry, I don't kill innocent people. Only those traitors," I smirked. A handsome man like him is afraid to die. I bet his girlfriends are waiting for him to come home. "How did you get in here?""Through the door. It was easy."A night of pleasure. Nova had never met a man who could connect to her soul. From then on, Bryce Hamilton stole her heart
After the news about Fabe’s son erupted, many spectators linked him to Bryce. His resemblance was no coincidence, and many commented that he is the father despite denying the claim.Because Fabe did not attend the summon, Bryce filed the case in court and a seize order that Liam could not leave the country until the issue was settled. The court issued an order that Fabe should answer the allegations within the court and cooperate on the DNA test Bryce requested.Fabe went to Hamilton Corporation and confronted Bryce on the matter. But she did not expect Master Rafael and Madam Claudia to face her as well.“Fabe, please listen to me. I am not going to take him away. I just want to know if he is my son. Here,” Bryce took his picture from when he was five years old from his wallet and showed it to her, “This was me when I was five. Don’t you think it’s too obvious?”“People have their look alike. This is just a coincidence.”“I don’t think so, Fabe. Don’t lie to me. You know the truth, a
“Ready for the big day?” Stephen fixed his tie, facing the mirror. Getting ready for the event they were invited to.The famous cosmetic icon in Italy, Dina Wong, collaborated with F cosmetics, launching their new make-up collection. Fabe was having second thoughts about going, thinking about the press, the camera, and the business industry, especially John Dawson, who seemed to be obsessed with her life.“Nervous. I still think that showing myself in public is inappropriate,” Fabe took a deep breath staring at her reflection in the mirror. If it weren’t for Liam, she would have shown her horns to all those who ridiculed her.“What? Nonsense! It’s time, princess,” Cali stood next to her and secretly smacked his lips, putting a lip balm while glancing at Stephen.”“We are beautiful!” he whispered to Fabe, “Seriously, you deserve it. Now let’s go before we miss the launching.”Jonathan was just in time, arriving at Fabe’s house. He insists on escorting her tonight. After knowing Bryce w
The humiliation Lady Sophie brings to herself and her family bounces back into their company. Some of their investors backed out, and her friends eluded her. Afraid to get embroiled in the conflict. "You imbecile! Shame on you!" Master Rafael chastised, reading the news about the incident at the product launching of F Cosmetics. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I didn't know!" Lady Sophie cried out. Master Rafael almost hit her with his staff furiously. "The damage has been done. If we did not act immediately, we would be bankrupt! You should have used your small brain, Sophie. How did I have a daughter like you?" Master Rafael pinched his temples. "Dad, relax, okay? You're blood pressure. I'll fix this," Bryce led the Master to the couch. "No, son, I'll fix this. There's only one thing left to do." The Hamilton's are the talk of the town. Criticizing their claim over Fabe. Was it all true that they were all made-up stories to ruin Fabe's reputation? Also, everyone was asking about her
Sunny Liang escaped. For the first time in history, Nova failed her mission. The news spread around the triad, and the assignment to hunt down Sunny Liang was given to other clusters.Massimo was sworn in his entire life to never let personal matters get in the way of his business. No one in the triad knows about Fabe marrying Bryce Hamilton. Her years of absence were just to keep her name out of the public’s mind.Now, she was questioned by the founding members of the triads about her loyalty and about Liam. In the triad, though you get married, it will remain a secret to your spouse. Once compromised, the triad will not hesitate to eliminate them.“Why did Bryce suspect you as Nova?” Massimo asked Fabe. Her last mission was a failed and has been compromised. Someone will definitely order surveillance for Nova.Fabe remained silent. Refusing to answer the question. Massimo, Stephen, and Cali were waiting for her to talk. Although Cali knows about the story behind it, he never says a
“It’s a boy!” the doctor announced their baby’s gender. Stephen was so happy to witness his baby’s first ultrasound. Listening to his heartbeat was a music to his ears. He was crying the whole time. “Thank you, for giving me a reason to live, and be better,” Stephen kissed Georgina’s forehead. “When I give birth, would you be here?” Georgina held his hand. “Of course. Everyday,” Stephen palmed her cheek.“Thank you."Stephen called Massimo as promised to inform him about the gender of his baby. Like them, he was ecstatic, and delighted to know it was a boy. “Dad, will you disowned me of I tell you that I still love Georgina?” Stephen asked, turning the speaker on. Georgina was shocked to hear that from Stephen. Fabe squeeze her hand, “You are part of this family after all.” “Son, I know you love her. You can’t lie to me. I know all of you. Go ahead, but this won’t be easy, son. The long distance.” “I think I could wait, dad. That is if I’m still alive. Our only hope is the paro
"You're pregnant?" "Yes, with Stephen," Georgina took a seat, "I was supposed to tell her after the press conference, but this happened." "I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything for you. Ri….” "Ri?" Fabe cut in. "Ri, Irene, or Eerie. She is one. I called her Ri. My sister from another mother. Torelli married another woman after my mother died." Georgina shared her story with Fabe. Since they discovered her real identity, she has no reason to hide anymore. Irene had loved Bryce since they were a kid. When Torelli left to pursue his mafia business, Georgina and Irene were adopted. But they knew they were sisters and still communicated with each other. When Irene moved to London, she constantly discussed marrying Bryce after college. But then he married Fabe. It broke her heart, and she vowed to get him back. When Fabe left, she was the happiest to be with Bryce again. But she knew he loved her and was obsessed with Nova. Irene found out that Bryce was in love with Nova, who was also
Eerie saw the news. Georgina was arrested and detained in jail. Alessandra Dorso accused her of killing Gemma and Sophie Hamilton. "Dad, we need to help Georgina. Send her a lawyer or bust her out!" Eerie called him, demanding immediate action for her sister. "I did. They are also searching for you. That woman you commissioned to kill Nova failed. She killed their friend! What were you thinking? If you want things to be done, do it yourself!" Torelli snapped. "They can't find me. Moira doesn't know where I am, and Georgina won't talk. So I need you to help her and get out of that prison!" "I am doing my best okay? Massimo had ordered a thorough search for our family. They know who you are now." Eerie paused a little. "How?" "The investigator, Jim. He left a file containing all the information about you and Georgina, including your birth certificate. At least, that's what the lawyer told me. They have strong evidence against you and your sister." "Then bust her out of pris
The guard restrained Georgina and dragged her out. "Hey, let go of me! Stephen!" Stephen stopped, listening to her. "What is happening? Stephen!" Georgina shouted, fighting back. The guards are forced to handcuff her to ensure she won't escape. They took her to the waiting room while waiting for the police. The reporters filmed everything. It escalated and made the headlines after an hour. Everyone wanted answers. Massimo called Stephen. He was in his office hiding, crying. "Dad," Stephen sobbed. "I know, son. Your siblings will be there. Calm down, okay?" "What did you find out?" "Georgina is Irene's older sister. Irene and Georgina is Torelli's daughter. Irene and Eerie are one person, and she was the one who killed our Liam." His secretary knocked on the door and informed him that the police had arrived. Stephen nodded and ended the call. He told the guards to show them, Georgina. "Don't let her out. My lawyer is on the way. He's working on the arrest warrant," Stephen h
Alessandra was referring to the woman in the television. The announcement started, and Georgina was focused on the screen. She was introduced to the public as Stephen’s fiancé. Gerard took the remote control, and paused the recording on the tv. “Her?” Fabe and Bryce point their hand on Georgina’s face.“Yes, her. Georgina Stanford. Gemma found out her name when she was on the news as the acting CEO of Donovan Corporation.”“Is she positive that it was her?” Massimo said, almost choke his own words.“Yes. You can see her video recording ones my phone turns on.”“Oh, God.”Gerard return to the computer, and Sander’s app flashes on the screen. He click it, and saw what he was busy doing running in the background. “Ah, you have to see….”“We have a matched!” Sander prompted.Gerard showed Cali the match. There’s a video of his past recordings in his house where someone broke in, and left a brown envelope. Another video was when Stephen and Georgina visit last night. The mat
“Who is that, Cali?” Stephen was stunned by his reaction. “It’s Alden. He’s coming back to Italy,” Cali lied.“Stephen and Georgina are with you?” Jonathan asked, confirming the voices he heard. “Yes, Alden. I’ll pick you up at the airport.”Jonathan ended the call. Cali pretended that the call was still ongoing, and talk sweetly. He then ended the call with an endearment. He saw Massimo’s eyes rolled hearing the I love you word coming of his mouth. “Dad, whether you like it or not, his going to be my fiancé soon,” Cali said, annoyed by his father’s reaction. “I didn’t say anything bad, and yes, I accept your new self, but getting married? Please, Cali, I’m old. Don’t give a heart attack.”“Whatever, dad.”Georgina excuse herself to go home early. She wanted to relax herself for the big announcement tomorrow. Stephen also excuse himself to drive Georgina home, and remind them all for the event. “Cali, who called you?” Fabe confronted him. It wasn’t Alden that’s for sur
“What! How? Who took her?” Billie lifted a shoulder. “How did they know? Alessandra’s identity is classified, and the only person who knows about her is Jonathan, and us!” “Can you ask Jonathan if he mentioned it to anyone?” Bryce inspect the pocket of the dead man on the floor. “He won’t do that I’m sure.”Bryce showed the identification card to Fabe. It’s not Italian. He was from Russia, all of them.“Tell the maids to call the police. I don’t want to stay here, and deal with this,” Fabe told Franco. Franco went back upstairs, and instructed the maids to call the police and report the kidnapping. The maids run together downstairs. Franco started to the door when he heard a noise to the other room. He draw out his gun, and slowly entered the room. It came from the walk-in closet. Franco kick the door, and held up his gun. “Holy crap! Moira, what are you doing in here? I almost killed you!” Franco breathe out roughly, shaking himself. “Sorry, I was searching for evid
Alessandra replayed Gemma’s video. It was taken the day before she died. She was crying as if Gemma already knew her death was coming. They were best friends since high school. Gemma was the only child, and so was Alessandra. Gemma defended Alessandra from the bullies in school. Since then, they were inseparable. Alessandra recalled the time she last saw her best friend alive. There were loud knocks on the door that night. Alessandra was getting ready for bed, and heard it. Her maid informed that it was Gemma. She was restless. Alessandra led her in her room. Gemma was crying, pacing around. “Gigi, will you please calm down. I’m getting dizzy watching you. What’s the problem?” “Sasa, I need to tell you something, and I want you to record me with your phone,” Gemma took her phone beside the table of her bed, and had it over to her.“Hold on, why would I do that?” “Just do as I say!” Gemma yelled.“Fine,” Alessandra started the video recording.Gemma cited her name fi
“Oh, my God,” Cali gasps, opening his messages, and viewed the woman’s picture with her name, “We got her.”“Who?” “The woman who sent those rocks,” Cali showed Fabe the message. She check the picture. It was the same as the scanner. Her face was zoomed in that clearly showed her face, and her name, Alessandra Dorso.“Who send this to you?” Cali checked the number. It was new. “I don’t know.”“It doesn’t matter. Now we know what she looked like. Cali send this to us all.”“Copy that,” Cali sent the picture to the group. “How are we going to find her?” Moira was bothered how to find a woman overnight in that big city.Cali shrugged, facing her, and started to his room, when the number who sent the picture called him. “Hello? Who is this? And how did you get that picture?” “I’m sure you know how.”“Jonathan? Good riddance! How did you found about that woman?” “What?” Fabe gestured Cali to pass her the phone, “Jonathan? Where are you? We need to talk.”Jonathan didn’
