They were happily relaxing in the pool area. The kids were swimming in the kiddie pool with Lulu as their babysitter.
They also set-up a net in the swimming pool and Gener and Vivian against Joshua and Michelle are playing volleyball in the swimming pool.
Derrick and Bianca set-up an entertainment and in charge in serenading them. It was a free concert since their concert always sold out the m
After the punched, she has no choice but to ask the intruder. Yes, intruder, because she was not invited.All the people around her was not able to react on time. The woman in question widened her eyes with open mouth while holding the part where she was hit. “You....how dare you?” the girl was stuttering with teary eyed and her face was contorted. She tried to attack when she regained her senses but Ryan was faster and was able to hold her.“Yes, I dare and so?” she said mimicking the girl’s mocking tone when she answered the question if she hurt Aunt Melba
“Still not leaving” Harvey can no longer tolerate this woman arguing his wife. Mira suddenly stopped talking and shivered when she looked in Harvey’s eyes. She really feared the man.“Ohh, before you leave, why don’t I tell you a little secret. Don’t you know that Anaya holds a very big secret that could ruined you?”“What?” Mira widened her eyes.“Why don’t you ask her? She’s your best friend, I guess, she will answer your question”“You’re just bluffing. You just want to sow discord between us, do you think you can ruin our friendship. No way”
The pool party can be considered a success aside from the appearance of Mira, everyone were happy especially the children. Good thing, the children did not have any trauma or any psychological effect to what had happened. But still as a precaution, she still had to educate Adrian regarding the incident.Arrianne was able to connect and be friends with the women behind Harvey’s friend. She entered to Harvey’s world and was accepted. She found out that within the seven years of her and Harvey’s marriage, only a limited time they had their interactions. So, they were not really familiar with each other. They said that if only they knew that she was a good cook, they can always stay to
“What are you thinking?” Harvey returned to their room and saw his wife lying in bed while staring in the ceiling.“The chandelier is pretty nice.” Harvey raised his eyebrow. He crawled in the bed and sat beside his wife.“Hehehe, are you afraid?” Harvey asked amused to his wife’s action.“Afraid, of course not. Why should I?” Arrianne immediately denied.“This is just sleeping together between husband and wife. Besides, we have already a son. It’s not like we didn’t do it before.” She continued as if afraid that he will not be convi
The restaurant called ‘Empyreal’. Harvey said that since his company called Empire, so he called the restaurant Empyreal, which can be associated to an Empress as it means heavenly or epitome of beauty. And it represent her. Well, not actually her, but the original Arrianne.When they entered, no staff assisted them for a table. For a small restaurant, that would be understandable, but for the restaurant like Empyreal, it was like a blasphemy to its name. The basic courtesy to the customer.There were limited CCTV and lot of blindspots, which can be detrimental if there were someone who will want to sabotage the establishment or for the security of the customers. Not that she think there
When the food was put in his side, he ask his assistant to bring his lunch. The Directors was not able to start to eat as they where not sure why the Chairman was not eating yet.When the assistant is back, he put the lunch box in the table and Harvey started to take out all the content of the lunch box. He is very satisfied with the envious look of his colleagues. “Go on, eat your lunch. Here, you can eat my share.” He said to his assistant and give the take out lunch, that was prepared for him.“My wife was worried with my health that’s why she said she will cook all the foods that I have to eat unl
After Uncle Domeng parked the car, he assisted the mother and son to the private elevator going to the Chairman’s office. They used the elevator exclusively used by the Chairman of the company. The employee who wants to meet the Chairman can only access the regular elevator where they have to stop first at the thirty-ninth floor, then they need a confirmation from the authorized person in the fortieth floor before the elevator will open. That was made for the safety and for other people not to just barge in to the office of the Chairman especially that the people who knew the Chairman of the Empire were limited. In the fortieth floor, only the Chairman’s office, one conference room which only which rarely used, his Assistant’s office and a pantry are included. The thirty-ninth floor is where his Secretary’s office and is the one in charge to inform the Chairman’s assistant if th
“I’m not sure of the carbs and sugar contents of the boxes of the other but for the two, the recipes for that is sure to have low carbs and sugar content. However, I think you can’t eat it in one go as the total of it’s carbs and sugar content when combined will reach your limit”“Thank you Madam for the considerations”“Mine is also the same with them.” She raised her eyebrow when she heard Harvey complaining.“Yes, but I made you some juice drink, it’s good for your liver and colon, it will help to detoxify your body”“But I don&rs
The next day, it was still dark outside when Adrian woke up. He immediately climbed out of bed and went to his parent’s room. He knocked softly but heard nothing, so he slowly opened the door and carefully climbed up in the middle of the bed, lay down, and hugged his mother before closing his eyes. Harvey opened his eyes. He can only shake his head but does not say anything. He carefully tugged the quilt to his wife and son and hugged them both.When Ara woke up, she saw Harvey sitting in the bed with his laptop and Adrian with his book.“Wake up?” Harvey said when he felt some movement in his wife’s side.“Hmmm, Good morning, happy birthday, baby!” Ara said when she saw her son. She got up and hugged and kissed him.“Good morning, Mom!”“What time is it? Why didn’t you wake me up?” she turned to her husband.“It’s still early. Don’t worry.”“Let me prepare for our breakfast first before we go out.”“Actually, why don’t we let Aunt Melba prepare our breakfast? You don’t have much rest
After another week of recovery at home, Adrian was finally able to return to school. And soon, Friday comes and it’s a day before Adrian’s birthday. It was planned that they would celebrate Adrian’s friend and classmates and tomorrow, the actual day of his birthday will only be celebrated by their family. When it the time for the student to return home, the class where Adrian belongs was happily chatting, while walking to the gate. When they reached the gate, they looked for their nannies or parents who picked them up, and then they looked at Adrian to ask for their service. Adrian looked around and saw his Aunt Lulu walking to their side.“Are you ready guys?” Lulu smilingly asked.“Yes!” the children happily shouted.“Then, let’s go”. There are only 20 children plus their nannies and the parents who pick up their children, so Ara rented a bus for them to fit in. Although some of the parents who pick up their children have their own car, they still ride the bus as it is a rare exp
Ara immediately went to the bathroom to wash up. When she opens the bathroom, she found no one inside the room. Harvey was not inside but heard him talking to someone on the phone. She lay down on the bed to wait for Harvey to finish his call, but before even Harvey returned to the room, Ara could no longer fight her exhaustion and tiredness. Her lack of rest and sleep this past few days had taken her the moment her body touched the bed.Harvey listened to his wife’s gradually steady and shallow breathing. He slowly lay beside her, embraced her, and kissed her forehead before closing his eyes. He was also sleep-deprived these past few days and needs to rest. After a week, Adrian was discharged from the hospital and allowed to recuperate at home. During this time, while the investigations were ongoing, the case had already been filed in court against the woman who injured Adrian. The case was also featured in the news and is trending in social media. There are a lot of video clips of
Ara confirmed first that Adrian had already fallen asleep. After waiting for him to be in a deep sleep, Ara got out of bed and tucked him in before she left the room. She went to the connecting room, which she used as her room while accompanying Adrian. The hospital really lives up to its tagline, where the patient lives like a guest in a hotel; just like the room they booked, it has its own kitchen, living area, and two rooms for the patient and the other for the one, for those who are taking care or looking after the patient.Ara picked up her notebook and wrote her ideas for her son’s birthday. She was in a good mood right now, and her ideas came effortlessly. Besides, the time is a bit tight because she only has a month to plan everything. She has a lot of ideas, and she writes them down in her notebook one by one and how they should be done. She also wrote the menus, the giveaways, gifts to give to those who will attend, prices for the games, etc. Of course, she needed to have A
After Ara’s emotions subsided a little, and after she calmed down, Harvey and Ara walked and sat beside Adrian’s bed. Harvey silently held his wife’s hand and sometimes hugged her to give her some comfort and assurance that everything would be fine and that Adrian soon woke up.It was terrifying quiet inside the ward, with only the sound of various instruments running. The wait for Adrian to wake up seems too long. But both the husband and wife did not want to break the solemnity of silence. They were comforting themselves and knowing the presence of the other was enough and having their own thought wishing for Adrian to wake up soon and his fast recovery.When the night fell, Adrian woke up, and Ara was so happy, and finally, her heart felt relieved and settled. She didn’t even realize her face was already soaked with tears from crying because of how happy she was. “Mom, I’m sick!” Adrian said while trying to look aggrieved and looking for an embrace from his mother, but Ara was too
After Uncle Domeng finished talking about the result of the investigation, she also instructed him to investigate further regarding the family of Janet and if they could uncover the mystery of Adrian’s birth. She was curious as to who is his biological mother. Uncle Domeng nodded and left the room to continue with the task. Ara picked up her phone and dialed a number saved on the phone. Her heart was beating faster as the phone kept ringing. Just the other party picked up the phone on his end, the phone in Ara's hand was suddenly snatched, and when she looked back, it was her father. She frowned and looked as if asking for the reason behind his attitude. Enrico saw the name on the phone and directly canceled the call before looking at his daughter questioning look.“Why are you calling him?” Enrico asked first, not minding the puzzled look from his daughter.“I just want to know if he knows that Adrian was not Janet’s son.” Despite the dissatisfaction of Ara, she still answered her
After Uncle Domeng confirmed that the husband and wife would keep the matter a secret, he expressed his thanks and immediately went to Ara’s side and saw Ara’s father opening the food pack.“Let’s eat first before you talk about everything. I know you want to know about the investigation, but it’s hard to think if you are hungry.” Enrico said to her daughter.“I’m not hungry,” Ara said while looking at her Uncle.“Even if you’re not hungry, you still have to eat, so you can have the strength to taking-care of Adrian. What will happen to him if you will get sick.” Enrico still tried to persuade his daughter, but Ara just closed her eyes while sitting on the bench near the ICU where Adrian was put for observation after the surgery. After looking at her daughter, he sighed and shakes his head. After a while, he called her using the tone which he usually used when he was disciplining her when she was still a child.“Arrianne Jade Lusuegro!” Ara suddenly opened her eyes when she heard her
Just after Ara hung up the phone, a nurse went to her side and introduced herself as the one from the organization and the one who would donate blood for her son. She found out that her name was Ana, a nurse in the Pediatrics Department in the Hospital, and was already aware of her son’s condition even before the organization posted a notice to the group.Ara thanked her and gave her a calling card to contact her if she needed help in the future. That was the only thing she could do for the woman as the organization prohibits members to accept payment in helping their members or their family when it comes to helping them with blood donations. So, to show her gratefulness for saving her son, Ara is willing to help in return. Besides, her husband was rich and powerful, and his connection was wide, so she believed it would not be hard to help in the future.Ana thanked her, and just as she turned around to go where she was going to draw blood; when suddenly, someone grabbed her hand. Ara
After coming down from Marinaya Mountain, Ara, and her father decided to rest at a nearby hotel before returning to the city. After they checked in, Ara checked her phone and saw that the battery was already drained, which could be expected considering that they had been staying in the tribe for almost a month. She picked up the charger and went inside the bathroom to take a bath. Although the tribe community was located in the innermost of the mountain, the tribe created a secret passage that allowed them to go in and out of the community to the town faster, but it was still exhausting going down the mountain for over half a day. Now, she only wants to have a long soak in a hot bath. She adjusted the water temperature, put a few drops of lavender oil, and lit a scented candle for a more relaxing effect. It’s a good thing that for a small town, they have such a 3-star hotel, and their services were already top-notch, and she saw that there was already tourist exploring the place. Ma
