"Yes, Ms. Ventura?" Marcus faces Roxy.

"How can we fail if right now our customers are crowding our company to serve them? How can we fail if right now we are full of orders, bookings and demands? How can we fail if, right now, our Malditah is one of the best choices by our valued customers? We wouldn't have been on the Top-5 list in the entire Clothing Business in this country if this company of ours had failed!" Roxy said, sounding annoyed.

"Top five? Then why not top-1?" Marcus asks playfully.

Roxy frowned even more when Marcus questioned their ranking in that Business. "We really don't hit the highest rank, it's because we're just starting this Business. We have JUST STARTED, Mr. Castillo! You see, we are looking for investors because we still need to expand it and when we can compete with other big companies, just to hit our goal, the Top. You'll see, we're in the top 5; what's more, if we expand more in this business?" Roxy impatiently explains to Marcus.

"Hmm.

    Bully Friend"Calm down, girls, this is not the right time to argue with your boys, okay? You can fight later. Let's finish this meeting first." Ayesha stated."Tsk! I think we should stop this meeting. Look, it's very clear that they don't want to invest if they don't get in return. How thick their faces are!" Roxy muttered."Roxy!!" Summer warned her."What!?" Roxy raised her eyebrows."Tsk! Stop it, girls. Please, let's proceed again. For the sake of our business, okay?" Ayesha was trying to calm down her friends."Count me. I'm willing to invest." The four of them immediately turned to Marcus."I beg your pardon?" Roxy asks with a frown."Smart women don't need to hear a repeat question. What you heard is clear, right?" Marcus seriously said to Roxy."You...! Hey Mr. Castillo, don't be proud of your money and your family business here. Now, I'm one of the co-owners of this company and I have the right to refuse your investment plan. I can get and find someone to invest in this bus

Both Mr. Lopez and Mr. Castillo, invest in their company.Lia and Roxy have no other choice. They also thought that they should've agreed for he sake of all their Malditah employees.

The two personally check the renovation. A week ago they started the construction of their Malditah Building. That's why, every time Ethan was there, Lia just locked herself in her office, not to hide, but she really didn't want to face him, and what she hated the most was to see his face.She could tell Ethan and Marcus were good at providing people from reconstructing Malditah's Building.

The doctor still smiled sweetly as she wrote something on her white sheet of paper, then she folded her record and handed it back to her.Lia looked at the doctor while swallowing.'don't tell me, I'm...'"What do you mean, Doc? Tell me...""I can't tell, Ms. Zambrano, but I think, yes. To make sure, I'll transfer you to the O.B. Doctor. Please, just hand your record to the nurse. She will take care of you. By the way, congratulations in advance." She even shook her hand with a smile, while Lia cooled her whole body.She came out with a dazed. The nurse approached her. She looked at her record."Uh, okay. Follow me, Ms. Zambrano. You should be there at the O.B. Doctor." Her simple words made Lia have goosebumps.Lia was speechless.When they were in the O.B. clinic area, Lia immediately got inside in a daze.

    CravingFour days passed, but then Lia still didn't bother to share her good news with her friends.She has no intention of hiding her pregnancy from her friends. She just takes her time. How can she start saying that they won't be surprised, especially since they know very well that she left Ethan's house a long time ago? She knows they will be mad at her once they know she's hiding her pregnancy.'What if Ethan knew about this? Will he be happy that he will have a child with me or will he hate it? As I remember, he doesn't want me to carry his child. Well, I don't care. If he doesn't want to have a child with me. It's fine, my baby is mine. This is mine. I'm also not worried that my belly will bulge without a father to accompany me in this pregnancy. I can be fine. As long as my baby is healthy on my tummy all the time.'

    Lia's HormonesLia smiled at what Summer said. Lia was still eating and said nothing. She was still entertained by their various comments."You are not like this if I know. So, spill it now Lia. Don't make us others to you. We are more than friends, you know that."Lia stopped smiling. Her heart was immediately touched by Roxy's voice, and that's why her heart melted. Her emotions were shallow and that's what she noticed."We're not really your family by blood, but we can be your family and you can lean on us anytime. Kim, we're sisters, right? you know, we are so worried because of your sudden change, Kim. A lot changes in you. We are worried, really..." Ayesha also added.Lia was silent and it was as if something blocked her throat. She just realized that her eyes were wet. until her tears showed and fell like a raindrop."Oh, no. You are crying? Why?" Ayesha immediately stood up and approached Kim and hugged her. "Shh... Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry. Hold on.""You guys are

    My Ex-Husband's Heir"We know you can really do it, but darling... I think he needs to know that there's a baby growing inside of your belly." Summer seriously stated."No... I don't like the idea." Lia said. She just doesn't want to tell them that Ethan doesn't want to have children with her. For sure they will also be angry with Ethan again."You're upset with him because you're pregnant. That's why, huh? That's why you are also hiding and locking yourself inside your office whenever he's here." Ayesha said teasing Lia. "You thought I didn't know?""I just don't want my work to be disturbed," Lia's alibi."What if he finds out you're pregnant? Your baby is growing in your belly. See that, your belly is a bit bulging if you look closely." Roxy.Lia looked at her belly and stroked it gently. "You know girls. I am not afraid that he will find out about it in the next few days or months. Besides, he no longer has the slightest right to my child because we have been ANNULED. If I know, ma

Lia said harshly.He grinned even more. "Then alright. I'm the only one who wants to see you now."Lia narrowed her eyes. "This is a very nonsense conversation! I have a lot to do, if you don't have anything good to say... leave me alone." She said then passed Ethan."Lia..."Lia ignored Ethan and continued walking around."Lia..." Ethan is still following her.Lia stopped when Ethan touched her elbow. "Let go of me!" Lia pulled her arms immediately."I want to talk to you, Lia. Talk to me." Ethan sounds begging.Lia didn't listen, and she continued her steps because she really wanted to get away from Ethan. She didn't want to face him as much as possible."Good morning, Ma'am, Sir."

Lia was suddenly very close to Roxy because her dizziness was getting really intense at that time."I-I'm not okay, Rox. Let him out, please?" Lia almost whispered to Roxy. "Please?"Roxy turned and immediately looked at Ethan. "Will you get out of here, Ethan!" Roxy said in a serious tone."I just want to talk to her. I have no bad intentions. And she's pale, I just want to help my wife.""My friend doesn't want it! Go away, I'll take care of her myself." Roxy snorted. While Lia was holding back her bad taste. Lia really wanted to rush into the sink to vomit. But Ethan was still there."Lia is not okay. Come on, I will rush her to the hospital—""N-no need! Just get out and I'll be fine." Lia said seriously. She was pale and weak.Ethan took a deep breath while looking intently at Lia's pale face. "Okay... I'm sorry, I'm going out now. But, please, calm down. I will come b

More than hundreds of employees have been added since you left. Then starting on Monday, the first batch of newly hired people from our Garments Factory will come in, which is around 50 people."Lia was amazed at what she heard. "Wow, really?

    The Owner"Mommy, where are we going?" Lia glanced at Khianna who was next to her and sitting in the baby car seat."We are going to visit your crazy godmothers, baby." She answered while carefully driving.Khianna's eyes widened. "Godmother Roxy, Mommy?""Yeah, baby, and also your godmother Ayesha and godmother Summer.""Yeay. Godmother, Godmother. I will see my Godmothers..." Khianna was clapping and smiling at Lia.They were not with Tina at that time because she had already taken a vacation to their province. Mother Norma and Sister Lita were there to look after Khianna while she was busy. Also, Khianna was able to adjust for three days with new acquaintances and with them at home. Vina is also there every afternoon because there is a summer class every morning. She presented to take care of Khianna while Tina was on vacation so that Lia wouldn't have any problems with her daughter when she was busy with her errands."We're here, baby."

    Reconciliation"Shh..." Lia's arms had a thought of their own, and she hugged her stepmother. "L-let's forget about the past Aunt Avet," she said. "Let us start moving on. A-as long as the important thing right now is that we let out our grudges with each other. Let's start a new beginning for my sister Chloe and especially Daddy Fred. Let's not give him a headache, okay?"Tearfully, Avet nodded to her, while Lia's eyes were wet as she stared at her."Thank you, Lia. Thank you so much and I'm so sorry again.""I'm sorry too, Aunt Avet. A-also forgive me for my rudeness against you." She warmly smiled and embraced her.No more long conversations and discussions happened. Lia and her stepmother Avet settle their matters very quickly. After 16 years of misunderstanding with each other, they settled. Even though everything was too late on each other's side, at least the tangle between them was resolved.Sorry...

    And The Hospital 2"W-what? W-what's wrong? What did dad's mean?" Lia asked Avet in surprise and confusion."Lia, I don't know anything about your father's business. I am just his plain housewife. Believe me. I don't know anything." Her soft words answer Lia.Lia sighed. "Okay, I'll call his lawyer."Avet smiled at her. "A-are you in a hurry to go home, Lia?"Lia raised her eyebrows. "Why are you asking?"She bowed as if ashamed. Everything she does and speaks softly is all new to Lia. And wait, why is there no trace of her first-born daughter's presence in the hospital?'After all, Dad is not her real father. So, why does she care about Dad's condition? Maybe she's too focused on her family with the child of my ex-husband.' Lia thought."I-I just wanted to talk to you deeply, Lia?" Lia raised her eyebrows again. "I-it was about your anger towards me, and Mildred.""And what about it?" Lia sneered."I-I would like to apologize to you. Please forgive me, Lia. I didn't mean to alienate y

    And The Hospital 1When Lia arrived at the Hospital, she immediately asked the nurse in the reception area for her Father's hospital room number. When she already had it, she hurried to go to his room.Lia felt the tension enveloped her in every step she made. She was nervous about whatever she would encounter or see inside her Father's room.She sighed heavily when she was already in front of her father's private room. Her heart beat faster but she braced herself before knocking on the closed door.Lia slowly opened the door. She swallowed hard and her heart was gradually crushed by what his eyes saw."D-daddy..." Lia's tears immediately fell.His father looked at Lia and the other people who were in the same room."C-child. L-Lia..." her daddy tried to raise his arm in her direction.Lia moved forward to her father's side and she immediately reached out to his hands. "Daddy.." she squeezed and hugged her father's weak arm. "Daddy, I miss you. I'm so sorry that I only came home now.

Lia weakly smiles. "I miss you, all of you here.""You too, we miss you so much, Lia. I thank you and finally go home.""Because it's necessary. But I really have a plan. After Khianna's 2nd Birthday, I would go home. But this happened; I can't sleep, and I can't think properly because I am so worried about Dad.""Tragedy, daughter, is that you don't know when it will happen. Sometimes you'll just be shocked because something happens that you didn't fully expect. But don't worry, daughter, because everything really happens and God has a plan. God will not give you such thoughts and problems if you cannot overcome them. See, you're home now and your daddy is doing well."Lia nodded to Mother Norma in agreement."Don't be sad, Lia. Your daddy is still strong. We all know that he will overcome his illnes

    New HomeLia's chest suddenly skipped a beat when she heard that last name. She never knew her uncle booked them in that Travel Agency. That's because her aunt and family didn't know the full name of Lia's ex-husband.She heaves a sigh.'The airport owned by this family must be too big for us to meet on my first day back here in the country, right? I know, he's the one who managed this business. So, I hope, I won't meet him that same day here... I hope...'Khianna is already awake, and when she wakes up, her daughter really likes to hug Lia and squeeze in her arms.'Welcome back to me. And welcome to the country my dear little Princess Khianna.' Lia whispers while embracing her daughter in her arms.A sultry atmosphere immediately greeted them as soon as they stepped out of the plane. Tina is carrying Khianna while Lia impatiently waits for their luggage in the arrival area. She rushes all the staff to take care of their luggage.

    Something Wrong"My goodness. Did you and Marcus really have a past? Uh-huh, so my instincts are really pretty right?" Ayesha said that something clicked in her mind. "I remembered you were like a cat and dog in the past years. And also, I really sensed something was going on. I just didn't pay much attention because Lia left and I became very busy.""Hey. Will you stop this nonsense topic, ladies? I don't know anything about what you're talking about." Roxy said trying to avoid their questions. "I want to talk to Khianna, not any of you." She added."Hey, tell us. Why don't you want to tell a story even if it's just a few hints?" Lia said and eyed Roxy."What am I supposed to tell you? That's what I hate about you, girls. You immediately give false meanings to everything you notice and see. Is it really forbidden to joke now?" Roxy clicked her tongue and shook her head.Lia stopped talking to the three when a woman who served the food ordered by Lia approached. After a while, Khanna a
