"If you don't want this, you can just tell your family about it, especially Lola Andrada because she is the one who wants this event to happen the most, Ana. Grandpa Leoncio is against it honestly," said Ulysses so I looked at him.

"But why do they even want to show Solei to everyone after a decade of hiding her?" Hector asked him.

Ulysses scratched his head. "If only your mom is still alive, she'll be the one to explain everything to you clearly."

My forehead furrowed. "Grandma said mom had been dead for a long time. What happened? And why did she and papa die almost in the same year?"

As soon as it came out of my mouth, I noticed Hector's sudden silence. He also suddenly let go of my hand so I caught a glimpse of him. His expression darkened and it remained to stare at

    Hector just drove me quickly to the condo and then said goodbye and seemed to be in a hurry. When I asked him why, his answer was that he just needed to go somewhere so I didn't stop him, especially when I saw in his expression that it seemed like an emergency.I lazily went straight to Amari and I's room when I didn't reach anything. Elena has not yet returned from the grocery store and I only caught up with Via with Amari. She has no work today that's why I'm very thankful to her about Amari."How are you? Are we going to fix everything for you later? Just tell me," she greeted me as I sat down next to Amari who was busy watching. I just looked at her for a moment and grinned."I don't know if I will continue. I'm nervous, Vi. I don't know what awaits me there. Also, what if I put myself in more danger, especially

    I stopped walking and looked up. I saw the full moon that served as a light to us at those times. We were both quiet so I could hear the noise coming from the party going on in my family's vast land."Solei…" He called me in his hoarse voice so I immediately turned to him."Hmm?"He frowned and turned to face me. I could see the extreme fear in his eyes so I was surprised. Is this about what I saw earlier?"Why, Hector?""Please, be mad. Aren't you mad at me for what you saw earlier?" His voice was full of pleading so I almost laughed. He grabs my hands."Should I be mad?" I simply asked him. The wrinkle on his forehead disappeared but he remained seemingly confused. His ja

    I was just looking at Maureen's table, his secretary, I saw her immediately stand up and seemed even more surprised to see me."Ma'am Ana, you're here." She greeted me. My forehead furrowed."Ah… Hector knows I'm coming," I replied to her.Her expression became even more confused and she glanced at the door of Hector's office for a moment."Ah, sir is still talking to someone inside, eh," she answered me with her hand so I nodded."It's okay, Mau. He knew I was coming. I'm coming in," I told her directly.I didn't wait for her to answer and left. I knocked for a moment and then went inside. The cold room greeted me and the voices of two people.

    I woke up in a dark and quiet room. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't see anything. It was only then that I realized something was blocking my eyes. Even my hands and feet were tied. The face of the man I last saw first registered in my mind before I completely lost consciousness earlier. It was Ares. Where am I? Why? My heart was so full of fear that I could hear nothing but the loud pounding of my heart. My thoughts were destroying me slowly but surely. I am afraid of the dark. I was terrified of the dark and quiet place. I feel like I'm slowly dying. I tried not to think but the silence was a killer too. Where am I? "You're awake." I heard someone say. My head quickly turned in the direction the voice was coming

    It never crossed my mind that such a situation would unfold. What am I doing? What have I done, Ares? I never intended for that to happen! I didn't want what transpired back then! If only I were given the chance to alter the past, that would be the first thing I'd changeIt's the initial occurrence I'd eliminate from my life because it's the root cause of all this. It's the reason I've been slowly grappling with everything until now. I never meant for it to happen.God knows how sorry I am for that! I even considered forgiving him after discovering his betrayal. I still wanted to love him despite everything. I even contemplated asking for his forgiveness.Why does it still feel like this? It's as if the more I persist in the fight, the more reasons everyone gives me to give up.

    It is burning me as well as my eyes and I couldn't help it anymore. I silently wept because of the intense hatred I felt in my heart for these people who did nothing but hurt me.I wanted to ask all of them how much I sinned against them so that they would do this to me, but even speaking seemed to make me tired as well.I gasped for air as I was trying to calm myself, but it triggers my feelings more mostly when I suddenly remember everything he did to me last night. I sighed violently and looked up at him that kept on staring at me still."Why are you doing this to me? Do you know what you did to me? What do you want from me?" I asked him. My voice cracked.He averted his gaze from me and turned away. I bit my lower lip and let out a loud moan. I can no longer describe

    I still don't understand why I deserved to be hurt like this. I don't get the reason why all this pain turned into traumas and issues I have no idea how to resolve. I don't think I will ever have a chance to fully grasp what all these sufferings mean, because, at the end of the day, I always forgive.And I continuously forgive them even without their apologies. I still love them even though there are fears of the history they carved on my skin. I still care even if my trust was milk-powdered.I hate that I was called resilient for responding greatly to my trauma. I hate that I am being bamboozled by all the what-ifs, the how-it-happened, the go-with-the-flow. I hate that I am undeserving of this hatred, but it never left me since the day it entered.I am mad because all my life, I have been wondering what I do to de

    I thought he would slap me again but I was wrong. He suddenly turned his back on me. My eyes widened when I saw that he was carrying that baseball bat back."Do you know what this is? This is the only thing that killed your mom back then. Just like you, she was begging for her life. Funny how the most dangerous assassin of your family begged her life for me when I was just a kid back then," he said and his laughter echoed in that room.I didn't know what else I was going to do during those hours. My tears just kept flowing as I felt the seeming numbness of my whole body. I tried to stand up which I did but it wasn't long before Ares grabbed my hair again and violently threw me on the folding bed.There I felt an intense pain in my abdomen that seemed to be cutting into it.

    "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

    "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
