2024-10-29 19:42:56"Am I adopted?" I asked him, feeling a sense of losing myself. I heard his laughter for a moment.
"You're just an unfortunate one, that's all," he teased, as if he was lifting my spirits, so I playfully pushed him. I noticed the glances from other employees around us. He looked like a model. Only now did I see such a handsome and professional man once more. The man I knew appeared gentlemanly but, in truth, was rude. Speaking of, Hector never texted me again after his last message last night. I wondered what could have happened to him.
"Where are we going?" I inquired as we reached the parking lot. He tilted his head to look at me.
"Dad wants to see you. Your mom's older brother. He's in the office nearby."
Before I could react to what he said, he ushered me into his car

"Are you sure you'll be okay? I'll let you talk to him first if you want, I'll wait for you here," he said, his eyes fixed on me with a mix of concern and curiosity.I flinched, briefly catching Abraham and Hector in a conversation from the corner of my eye. Hector's unwavering stare sent a shiver down my spine, compelling me to avert my gaze."It's okay, sir. We will talk later," I replied, mustering as much composure as I could.Earlier, I had been forced into an uneasy encounter with Hector, who seemed ready to unleash his wrath at any moment. Luckily, Abraham's attempted jest saved the day – although it was a joke he couldn't handle, bringing about unnecessary tension!"Stop calling me sir, Anastacia. I'm your mother's brother, hija. You can call me uncle," Hec

I fell silent, lacking the energy to spar with him. As we strode to the elevator, I scanned the faces around us, noting their fleeting states. In that cramped elevator, it felt as though there were countless eyes watching us. My hand, still clasped by his, was damp with sweat."Any plans for tomorrow?" he asked suddenly, the enclosed space amplifying his voice.I met his gaze and responded curtly, "I'm busy."His penetrating look made my pulse quicken."I knew you'd say that," he muttered before falling silent. Just then, my phone buzzed, disrupting the charged atmosphere.ELENASomeone's asking for you, Ana. How did they find your place?

"Why now? Why'd you come back? Where's my granddaughter?"Her questions struck me, drawing my focus to her, my heart racing. Fear melted away, replaced by a fierce resolve."She's not your granddaughter. Don't burden her with the resentment you harbor for me," I asserted firmly, seizing Matthew's attention, his gaze sharp."Your tongue's as cutting as ever, Ana. Is it because you've missed the taste of my fist all these years?" His angry tone alarmed me, prompting me to stand."I didn't return because of you. I avoided going home straight for that very reason. I want no part of you. So why are you here?" Anger surged within me, boiling over.Amid the crash from Elena's room where Via and Riley were, Mama rose abruptly, fixing me with a piercing stare, striking at my core."Ungrateful selfish brat! Just heard about your dad's legacy and now you're acting high and mighty? What's there to be proud of?"Her words stunned me, realization dawning. Ulysses was right. They know about my inher

"Quit talking like that, Ana. I know your marriage is legit. Why don't you spill the truth to him so he can put an end to that fool, Matthew," he said, his voice fraught with nervous tension as I lightly tapped his arm."Quit it. Apollo wouldn't go to such lengths just for me," I said, clutching the envelope he'd given me earlier. I sensed his smile more than heard it."You can't be certain. You don't really know Apollo. You don't know what he's capable of. Trust me, once he spots that bruise on your face, he'll take care of Matthew, no questions asked. That hot-headed fool won't stand a chance against his anger," he spoke with unwavering certainty, sparking irritation in me.Maybe not. That man, I believe, wouldn't meddle in something that isn't his concern. He's not that kind of person, I reckon.

I gazed up at the towering building before me. Blinking as I faced the dazzling sunlight, I felt a surge of nerves as I glanced back at the building's entrance. Adjusting my corporate attire, I let out a heavy sigh before finally stepping into the lobby.This was the place Ulysses directed me to, the company where I could encounter my grandfather: the Alcantara Estate. My mind was in disarray as I entered without a concrete plan.I simply wanted to see them, to have them see me, hoping for some assistance. Ulysses mentioned their desire to meet me for quite some time, but they had been cautious since Papa's passing, considering the seriousness of our family's adversaries. I struggled to grasp the reason behind everything."Miss, I'm looking for—" I began but stopped short, sensing the woman's intense scrutiny.

His whispers of wanting rest, of finding solace in my company, felt like pleas tinged with vulnerability.I understood his desire for comfort, for reassurance. But the stakes were high; Amari's privacy was paramount, and I was willing to go to any lengths to ensure it.I bit my lip, trying to comfort Hector with a gentle pat on his back. Sensing his genuine distress, I gently moved away from his embrace, noticing the deeper furrows on his forehead."If you're looking for rest, why not head home and get some sleep—""You're my solace, Solei. Please... just for today. Let me be with you," he implored, his plea sounding almost childlike.Before I could respond, his phone abruptly rang. I waited for him to answer it, observ

It was exactly five o'clock when I finished. Despite not having seen my overall appearance yet, I felt reassured by Riley and Elena's reactions."Social party, isn't it? I'm sure your ex and your brat sister will be there too. You look exactly right. The face of revenge!" Riley nodded and ushered me towards the large mirror.When I saw myself, my mouth fell open. My makeup was simple, and like my gown, my lipstick was red. My hair remained loose but curled at the ends. I almost didn't recognize myself."Apollo's outside, Ana. Shall I let him in?" Elena asked me.I quickly turned to her and shook my head. I didn't speak anymore and went to the room where Amari was. I excused myself to her teacher first, and when we were left alone, she smiled upon seeing me."You're beautiful, mommy," she said and hugged me."Mommy will go somewhere for a while, baby. Behave here, okay?" I told her softly. She looked up at me, and her smile widened."I will sleep too early so I can dream of daddy again

"Are you sure? We can go home if you want," he said so I immediately shook.I was about to speak when suddenly other well-known personalities arrived and immediately greeted Hector. He stood up right away and supported me as well."It's so nice to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Real. It's good that you made it despite your busy schedule." Hector greeted them and shook hands. The two just smiled and glanced at me so I kept my wide smile even though I was embarrassed again."It's our pleasure, hijo. We actually came here to see you. We heard that you have been married for a long time," said the Real woman and turned to me then smiled. "I guess she's the lucky wife of yours.""Yes, Mrs. Real. This is my lovely wife, Anastacia Solei Alcaraz…" said Hector and turned to me

"They are healthy. You will see them when you are well, so get stronger soon," he told me softly and brought his face closer to my cheek.I closed my eyes. I feel the extreme fatigue in my whole body and the pain of the wound in my stomach. I had a C-section. The last time I remember, I really tried to make it in normal delivery but my body gave up suddenly. Everyone gave in to me, so everyone immediately decided for me because if not, my children will be in trouble.I could feel Hector's tight grip on my hands so I looked at him again. He closed his eyes while his face was still buried in my neck. Apparently, resting... or praying? I smiled and almost cried when I remembered the first time I gave birth and he was not by my side during those times. It was normal delivery yet it was hard for me to carry. Because I'm all alone. Everyone was there for me, cheering me, but I still felt loneliness during those times. But now, despite the pain and fatigue that my whole body feels, I feel

My Secret Husband The End
"Ares was right about you. He told me you're different than the other women out there. And I know he regrets that he used you in all his plans. What happened to us after that night, it wasn't the first time I saw you—the first time was when I rushed you to the hospital that day your father was shot by Ares. I knew I had to protect you because his group was also aiming for you. And then I never saw you again. I just found out that you are with Ares. That's when I found out everything he was planning and I had to rescue you again. And it pains me to see you hurting despite your genuine kindness. So when I saw Matthew hurt you, I almost destroyed his face after warning him about you. But he didn't listen. Your half-brother underestimated me, so I had to give him a lesson..."I felt surprised when I heard that. I suddenly remembered Matthew's broken face that was not done by Ares. So, that was him. Why is he only telling me this now? Why does he know more about me than I know about my lif

I could feel the anxiety and pain slowly engulfing me as we crossed the road to the hospital. I didn't listen properly to what Leon said and the only thing that stuck in my mind was when he said where it was—he was rushed to the hospital!I immediately looked at the nurse's counter. "M-miss, Hector Aragon..."That's all I said because I couldn't understand what was happening around me. He seemed to understand what I said. He looked at his monitor for a moment before turning to me."Still in the emergency room, Ma'am."I frowned. "Huh? I thought he was—""Ana, I found them!" I heard Leon scream so I looked at him quickly.I didn't waste any more time. I immediately followed him as he led me to the emergency room. I can still feel my surprise because I know that his condition is critical. Why is he still in the ER?My mind became even more confused when we reached a room that was only blocked by curtains. I tried asking Leon what we were doing here but he suddenly stopped and Hector w

Why do you need to keep this from me, Hector? what are you planningI didn't answer. I just stared at him. Measuring his gaze and how long he will go on lying to me. When he didn't really speak, I just got tired and looked away from him. I calmly went to the bed and lay down there. I suddenly felt a strange nervousness for an unknown reason."Hey..." I heard him call me.Next, I felt him sitting next to me. He caressed my cheek gently. I turned my back to his direction and tried to stop myself from paying attention to him."Baby..." he called me again. I closed my eyes tightly."Just go, Hector. I'm done talking to you," I told him lazily without looking at him.He kept caressing my cheek so I just closed my eyes.Where is he going? Does he know where his daddy is hiding so he will go to him? What will he do there? Why does he have to hide that thing from me?"I'll be quick. Don't be mad, please..." he gently said to me.I felt his hot breath on my cheek. After a while, his soft lip

"Don't you want to join us there?"I turned to the person who spoke and saw Leon carrying wine glasses. It stopped at my side."I wish I could," I answered him regretfully. I suddenly felt sad for some unknown reason."You still can. Unless Hector doesn't want you to hang out with us anymore," he said to me seriously so I looked at him.I crossed my arms on me and looked at him intently."What's your problem with him?" I asked him. Leon suddenly smirked at me and shook his head. "His father killed your parents, Ana, as well as you. He tries to kill you many times and he couldn't do anything about it. Do you think I can easily accept that? You know me," he answered in his baritone voice.I heaved a sigh violently. I somehow understand where he is coming from. Between the two of them, Ulysses is the one who is over-protective of everyone. If Ulysses has been given and allowed all my luxuries and passions from then until now, he is not. This is one of the inherited habits of Lolo Leonc

Everything he said did not enter my brain. I don't understand anything at all. He's giving up? Why? Why is he suddenly saying this? Where does it come from?"So, is it true? That because you love Leandro Alcaraz so much, you intend to betray mom?" I asked him in disbelief.That's because I'm still hoping that he might have another reason. That maybe this wasn't really his real reason why he did that.But instead of answering me, he suddenly stood up. I just followed him with my eyes until he arrived in front of the glass window of the study room. He looked there. His gaze was far away from nothing so I kept my gaze on him."Only my children know how much I love them... equally. What happened to Leandro was his own fault and he was the only one to blame for it. That maybe I was lacking in them that's why he did that. But it's not because I love him more than Ariza and Gascon. I did that because... it was your mom's will. He always wanted to give up but your dad just stopped him. We did

I'm catching my breath because of the anger and pain I feel while watching her just looking at me and I can't even see any sympathy in her eyes.And I understand that.But it still hurts.Agatha laughed sarcastically. "And you're hurting now because? What right do you have to be hurt after the bad luck you brought to our family? Do you think you'd get my sympathy because we didn't love you enough?""I didn't ask anything from you since then, Agatha and even more so now. Do you even know what Ares did to me?" I asked her trembling. I looked up at her big belly. I remembered what mom told me when she visited me last week."Congratulations on your pregnancy, anyway," I said and cried again when I remembered what happened to my pregnancy."I was supposed to be pregnant, too, but Ares took that from me. After he tried to rape me, he caused my miscarriage and I couldn't even do anything to make him pay for everything he did to me. He died without difficulty. Do you think that's fucking unac

"Where are you going?"I turned to the person who spoke and saw Hector who had just entered our room. It just woke up and maybe it came from Amari's room because they both slept there. His forehead was wrinkled as he watched me from head to toe."You didn't say you had something in mind today," he added and sat on the bed, watching me again while fixing my hair and face."Only at the law firm. I just need to talk to someone," I answered him then looked at him.His mouth was open so I looked at his lips. It was red and seemed to be calling me to give him a kiss. Even though he just woke up, he still looks very handsome. He is even more handsome with his appearance."Who?" He asked more. He slightly moved my chair closer to him and held me in his arms."It's Doña Valeria..." I hesitantly answered him.His forehead furrowed even more. He even licked his lower lip while clenching his jaw. "Why?" He asked again in his baritone voice. I swallowed."I'm not sure if she's there now, but Uly
