I was frozen in my seat. I couldn't move. I didn't know how to react.

"Caroline Anastasia Brooks is dating his bodyguard," Violeta repeated while showing me her phone.

"W-What does this mean, Caroline?" Julia asked while her eyes were on Violeta's phone. "You were on the news, but they didn't put a picture of your so-called bodyguard."

"T-That's not true. I'm not dating my bodyguard," I defended. I stood up to check the news they were saying about me. "Where did this news come from? And who is spreading false information?"

I bit my lip so hard when I remembered Miguel. I had no plans to deny our relationship but I couldn't help but worry for him when I also remembered what Miguel said last night. I don't want his life to be in danger just because of me. For now, I'll try my best to keep our relationship. It was too early for the public to know about us.

I looked at my phone when a series of messages arrived. My heart beat faster when I saw Daddy's name calling me on the screen. Everyo

    I looked at Alexander’s parents who were stopping their son from hitting Miguel when he saw me.“You’ve never contributed anything good to this family!” Cecile was furious. She stood up and walked towards me. “You’re nothing but a disgrace! You’re even embarrassing Alexander’s family!”“Shut up, Cecile!” Daddy folded his hands. He couldn’t look at me because his eyes were on Miguel. “It’s not right if we scold your sister. We need to calm down and listen to her complaints about the news circulating in the media that she and Miguel are in a relationship!”“If I’m flirty, this kid outside is even flirtier!” Cecile stormed back to her seat next to Mommy.Cristy gave me my own chair and placed it in front of me. I carefully put down my bag before looking at them. I closed my eyes for a few seconds after glancing at Miguel.“Miguel has already told us about you, hija. We also want to hear from you if there is any truth to all the things he confessed to us.” Daddy’s voice calmed down.I was

    My lips parted and I looked at Cecile.“She can’t bear a child?” I asked hoarsely.“Yes, Caroline. I can’t have children,” Cecile said while sipping her coffee.“Your sister has many issues. We don’t want trouble. We also don’t care if you’re Samson’s illegitimate child, hija,” Tita Portia added.“You’ll just give us a grandson, hija. You can file a divorce after giving birth,” said Tito Rafael.“Are you crazy? You will get us both married because you want to have a grandson?” I sighed. “I will never marry your son!”“Caroline, watch your words!” Mommy scolded.“Why don’t you stop me from forcing that marriage? You can find someone to take care of your grandson. Why me?” I turned to Daddy. “I will not marry him. I don’t care if I lose my inheritance, lose my job, and you reject me as your daughter! This is not the life I dream of. I want to have freedom in who I love and marry, Dad!”I looked into Daddy’s eyes, hoping he would change his mind. I was still his daughter. I wiped the tea

    “Miguel, where are we going if you let me go?”I opened my eyes and held my chest as I felt my heart beating rapidly. I looked at the wall clock—it was past ten in the morning. I glanced around the room, searching for Miguel, but he was nowhere to be found. I sighed upon realizing that it had all been just a dream.I got out of bed and put on my clothes. After drinking some water, I attempted to go back to sleep, but no matter how hard I tried, sleep wouldn’t come to me anymore. I grabbed my cellphone and checked messages from friends and coworkers. They were all shocked and couldn’t believe the news spreading about us. They kept asking if there was any truth to it.I stared at Miguel’s number, debating whether to call him to see how he was. I wanted to go to his room, but I couldn’t. If I went there without a valid reason, people in the mansion would surely start speculating—especially my family, who would be even more surprised if they found out that I had gone to his room.A sudden

    I looked at the alleged photos sent to Daddy one by one. I covered my mouth when I saw some of the pictures of Miguel and me together.“Someone sent these photos. I just saw them now. How are you going to explain all this, Caroline?” Daddy’s voice trembled with anger. “I don’t even know how many people saw these photos before they were sent to me. You’re an embarrassment, Caroline. I raised you well, and this is how you repay me? Falling for a bodyguard?”I clutched my other cheek when Daddy slapped me again. This time, it was harder, and I immediately felt the sting. I kept my head down, my eyes fixed on the scattered photos.“Is that why you refuse to marry Alexander? Because he’s the one you want to marry instead? What—did something happen between you two? I trusted you, Caroline, but look at what you’re doing! A bodyguard?!”I couldn’t answer. It felt like there was a lump in my throat, blocking my voice. My mouth refused to open, not even to utter a single word. I sank to the flo

    I looked out the window, peeking at them as they spoke with Daddy, who had just woken up. I thanked God that his breathing had returned to normal. They had postponed the press conference because of Daddy’s sudden difficulty in breathing. I found out that the press conference was supposed to be for Alexander and me—our parents wanted us to announce the engagement ourselves to cover up the issue about Miguel and me.I wanted to go inside to see Daddy, but Mommy and Cecile wouldn’t let me. They said his blood pressure might rise again if he saw me. I had no choice but to watch from afar as they happily played with him inside. Once again, they made me feel like I wasn’t part of this family. I didn’t insist on going in because they were right—it was my fault that Daddy had a heart attack earlier. And Mommy was right, too. When she scolded me earlier, she made me realize that all I’ve ever done is bring trouble to our family. I was always the problem. I am their trouble.A bitter smile form

    I buried my face in the steering wheel while waiting for Miguel to answer my call. No matter how bad my family is, I can’t leave them for just one man. Maybe this is my fate—I need to marry someone I don’t love.“Baby?”I gasped when he answered. I quickly wiped my face.“Where are you? We need to talk,” I said, holding back my tears.“I’m at the hospital. How are you?”I couldn’t answer right away. I didn’t even know how I was. I felt so heavy.“They already know about us. Let’s meet. I’ll pick you up there. Wait for me outside the hospital,” I said before hanging up.Tears spilled down my cheeks. I needed to make a decision. I had to choose between them.Only when I calmed down did I get ready. I put on light makeup to cover the marks on my cheeks from Daddy’s slap earlier.When I arrived at the hospital, I immediately saw Miguel standing near the taxi stand. He waved when he noticed my car. My chest tightened again at the sight of his sweet smile. I took a deep breath—I needed to b

    He cursed when he realized he couldn’t stop me. He exploded in my mouth. I stayed there, making sure I cleaned him up. He sat helplessly in his chair, still feeling the sting of his release.I got up, licking my lips as I met his dazed gaze. His head was tilted back against the seat, his eyes heavy with exhaustion and desire. He reached out, stroking my hair carefully, then bit his lower lip.Without hesitation, I slipped off my panties. I was wearing a skirt, so it was easy. I tossed them into the compartment, then straddled him while he was still very erect.“What the hell, Caroline—”I cut him off with a moan. I was so wet that he slid into me easily, despite his size. I winced as I settled on his lap, taking him in completely. He filled me so much that just having him inside me made me convulse with pleasure. I started moving, riding him, grinding up and down. My sanity slipped away. The pleasure spread through me like molten lava, melting everything in its path.“I’m so sorry,” I

    I silently walked back to the mansion after retrieving the rest of my things from the condo. My eyes were heavy, on the verge of spilling the tears I had been holding back.I sighed as Miguel’s last words echoed in my mind, cutting through me like a blade.“If cutting me off helps improve your life in any way, I support it. If you do not see the value of having me by your side, I will not try to convince you. I thought you loved me too. But you just used me. Yes, my job is just a bodyguard, but that does not mean I don’t deserve to live. You’re insulting me, Caroline.”I was his first girlfriend, but that didn’t mean I had to be his last. He would find someone else—someone real. He would like her the way he liked me. Or maybe even more. He would love her, and she would be there for him in a way I could never be.Meanwhile, I was marrying someone I didn’t even like.But what if… what if I could learn to like Alexander eventually? What if, once I forgot about Miguel and focused all my a

    "Caroline?" Mommy said as she knocked on the door.Miguel grinned as he stopped kissing me. "Why are you hiding?" he whispered, laughing.I pushed him away. "Shut up!" I couldn't hide the irritation I was feeling—or the fear that we might get caught."Tita Roxy, Caroline isn't here," Miguel said, pretending to have just woken up."Miguel? You're there? Sorry for the disturbance, hijo," Mommy said in disbelief. She was probably surprised because she came home early."Can we continue whatever we started?" he teased, wrapping his arms around my waist.My gaze dropped to his erection, which was still standing stiff. "You're still hard!" I muttered, removing his hands from my waist.When I opened the door, I glanced around outside, making sure Mommy wouldn’t see me leaving Miguel's room.I saw her entering my room. I quickened my pace toward the front door and walked out. I counted to five before re-entering the condo."Good morning, Mom," I greeted as I saw her tidying herself up."Good m

    I felt his lips touch mine, and suddenly, all the anger I had been feeling started to fade.He held the back of my neck, but he stopped kissing me when he noticed I wasn’t moving. I just stared at him—like I was watching a movie, completely dazed. I only snapped back to reality when he suddenly picked me up and set me on the table, his lips never leaving mine.A soft moan escaped my lips as his kisses trailed down to my chest, his hands caressing my breasts. I wanted to stop him—to resist what he was planning to do—but with every touch of his lips on my skin, my strength slipped away.His hands trembled slightly as he touched my breasts, and I couldn’t help but moan with every firm squeeze he gave.When he kissed my lips again, something inside me snapped. I found myself chasing the movement of his lips, unable to stop. He kissed me like a man starved, desperate, and hungry. My mind was in a haze—I could barely move my lips properly, especially when I felt his hand slip inside my bra.

    I was jolted awake by a knock outside. I glanced at the wall clock—it was just past six in the morning. Kalix and Mommy were still sound asleep beside me. I kissed Kalix’s forehead before carefully getting up, making sure not to disturb their sleep."Belen? Norma?" I called as I walked toward the kitchen. I instinctively held my stomach when the rich aroma of food filled the air. "You two are up early, even on a weekend—Miguel?"I stopped in my tracks when I saw him standing in the kitchen, wearing an apron and a hairnet."What are you doing here?" I asked, my arms crossing over my chest."Isn't there a good morning kiss for me?" He raised an eyebrow.I rolled my eyes. "Your face deserves a good morning kiss—if I dip your lips in that marinated chicken you're cooking!" I teased."You're not even joking," he said, shaking his head. "Here I am, cooking your favorite dish, and you're still acting mad.""I didn’t ask you to cook for me or for us. I have two helpers here in the condo. You’

    It was almost nighttime, yet they were still here at my condo. Mommy and I had talked a lot. She told me how Miguel had saved her before. At first, she thought Miguel was working for her brother, so she ran away in fear of being beaten.Miguel was in Kalix's room, playing with him. I didn’t want to allow it, but Mommy herself insisted that I should let father and son bond."Why did you keep the truth from him?" Mommy suddenly asked while I was cooking Kalix’s favorite pasta.I let out a deep breath. "I got scared. He used to get into trouble because of me. I thought that as long as I was with him, I was safe—but he was always the one in danger. It became even more complicated when I found out he was dating Glenda’s daughter.""He’s not dating her. He’s using her," Mommy corrected.I stopped what I was doing and turned to her. "What do you mean?""When I regained consciousness and slowly recovered, he told me he wouldn’t stop until he found you. But he never told me about your past rel

    I felt like a statue for a few minutes. My mouth hung open, and my knees trembled. I didn’t know if I was dreaming or hallucinating. The memory of being told that she was gone—that it had been two years—was still fresh in my mind.I only snapped back to reality when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I reached for it and checked the caller ID. My forehead creased when I saw Miguel’s name. How did I get his number? I don’t remember asking for it."Has my gift arrived?" he asked the moment I answered."G-Gift?""Yes. A gift. Has Aunt Roxanne arrived?"My breath hitched. "What do you mean?""I'm on my way to your condo.""Miguel—"I flinched as arms suddenly wrapped around me."M-Mommy?"Her embrace tightened. My heart clenched when I heard her sob. I couldn’t stop myself from hugging her back. If this was just a dream, I never wanted to wake up.I led her inside the condo, barely able to leave her side, afraid she would disappear if I looked away. I kept my eyes on her, studying ever

    I wiped my lips with the back of my hand and tried to open the door, but it was locked.“Open this damn door!” I shouted.“Are you really not going to talk to me properly? We’re talking about our son here, Caroline.”“You said we were just going to talk! Why did you kiss me?”“To shut your mouth.”I caught him looking at me again, licking his lips. My annoyance grew when I saw him smirk.“What? Why are you looking at me like that again? Do you miss my kiss?”“Open this door, or I’ll break your damn lips,” I threatened.“What if I don’t want to?” he challenged, his smirk deepening. “It’s fun watching you struggle to beg.”“And you’re struggling to understand,” I snapped. “What do you really want from me? What are we supposed to be talking about?”“Don’t leave the country.”I scoffed. “Why? Even though you know about Kalix’s condition, we’re still leaving. My mind is made up, Miguel. We’re not staying here.”“I’m coming with you.”“What?!” My eyes widened. “You’re coming? Are you crazy?

    I tore up the marriage contract right in front of them and took Kalix away from Miguel. I didn’t care if his father was here. Miguel’s jaw dropped.“This is unfair, Miguel! Why did I even sign that marriage contract? You told me I was signing that paper just so you could be sure I would follow through on our conversation. But why—”“Caroline, we have something to tell you—”“Leave. Whatever you have to say, I don’t care.” I walked toward the door and opened it. “Go away. Don’t worry—I’ll follow through on whatever we discussed. After Lena’s funeral, we’re leaving. Just leave us alone. I want to give my daughter a quiet and peaceful life.”Don Ernesto stood up, and Miguel immediately supported him. “Hijo, let’s go home first. Caroline is still mourning. Maybe you can talk after the funeral.”Miguel sighed. “Fine. But I want to talk to my son. I won’t let her take the child away from me.”“Caroline, you and my son need to talk first. Discuss my grandson. I’ll watch over him for now,” Do

    We didn’t continue on to Portugal. I prioritized Lena’s condition. She died upon arrival—she had lost too much blood.My eyes were swollen from crying. I had been staring at Lena’s cold body for over two hours. I blamed myself for her sudden death. I couldn’t even protect her.“Ma’am, we’ll watch over her if no one else will, so you can get dressed,” the nurse said. This was the third time she had urged me to change.I still ignored them. It was as if I had gone deaf and mute after what happened. I couldn’t open my mouth. My whole body felt weak, and I struggled to move. I glanced at my daughter. She had cried herself to sleep. She refused to believe that Lena was gone—the sister figure who had always been there whenever I wasn’t.My eyes flickered to the door when it opened. I immediately looked away when I saw Miguel enter with Don Ernesto. The nurses who had been with us quietly left.“Caroline...” Don Ernesto called out, walking toward me.His gaze dropped to Kalix.

    Chaos erupted inside the hotel. We could no longer see the live stream clearly. More videos were being played on the big screen. My attention was drawn to my father when the camera focused on him. He was clutching his chest, as if he was struggling to breathe again.My heart pounded. I was anxious about what might happen to him if he wasn’t taken to the hospital immediately. Then, I noticed police officers entering the hall. They were carrying an arrest warrant. Some of them approached my father, helped him stand, and gave him water to drink.We couldn’t see what happened next because the media and reporters crowded the scene. A part of me felt satisfied that they were finally being arrested. Everyone was now aware of some of the wrongdoings they had committed. However, another part of me felt pity for them—especially for my father. He had a heart condition. I wasn’t sure if he could handle the public’s backlash.When Kalix woke up, we stopped by a fast-food restaurant to eat. While w
