A wide smile was plastered on my lips as I walked in. I immediately spotted Alexis sitting on the single sofa, watching something. I observed his appearance—he had followed my instructions to dress up, looking neat and well-dressed. His gaze turned to us, and he smiled before quickly getting up from the sofa to greet me. I gently signaled Grandma to come inside. Alexis ran toward me, hugging me tightly and kissing me on the cheek.“You came home early, Mommy! Ate Len said you’d introduce me to someone?” he asked, pulling away from the hug.“Yes, baby.” I then glanced at Grandma, who was teary-eyed as she looked at her grandchild. Alec, on the other hand, was stunned silent, staring at his nephew.“Say hi to them, baby,” I gently encouraged. Alexis obliged.“Hi, po. My name is Alexis, po,” he politely introduced himself before approaching Grandma for a respectful greeting gesture, even doing the same for Alec. Alec didn’t respond but continued to look dumbfounded. Alexis returned t

I remember my older brother mentioning this before, but he didn’t say he would be taking Engr. Dacumos. He’s one of the best engineers in the company, but what can I do? My resort is an independent project outside the company. After all, he still works for Herrera Corp.“But don’t worry, Ms. Vivien," Engr. Dacumos assured me. "I brought Engineer Montenegro here as my replacement. He’s a friend of mine and one of the best engineers. I’m confident the resorts will turn out great under his supervision. Actually, Ms. Vivien, his team is already working on the resorts now. I’m sorry for not informing you earlier, but I instructed Engr. Montenegro to continue the work we’ll be leaving behind. I did this to ensure we meet the completion date we discussed.”I was slightly surprised and straightened up in my seat. I knew it! That explains why they were together. I couldn’t get upset about Engr. Dacumos’ decision because he had a point. We had agreed on a specific timeline for the resorts' c

Our drive to the company was quiet, with neither of us attempting to break the silence. We arrived without any unnecessary exchanges.When Mycah saw me, she stood up and greeted Xander and me. I simply gave her a small nod and smile before heading straight to my office, with Xander silently following behind. “Have a seat, Engr. Montenegro. What would you like to drink? I'll ask my secretary to bring it,” I said as I settled into my swivel chair. He sat down on the single sofa and looked at me. “Coffee, please. Then can I see the blueprints of the resorts?”I nodded, called Mycah to ask her to bring coffee and juice, then retrieved the blueprints from my desk drawer. I stood up and handed them to him.“Thank you,” he said. I just nodded again. Hopefully, he wouldn’t stay long. For now, I’d let him do his thing, as I needed to focus on the work I had left. My shift didn’t end until 6 p.m.Returning to my desk, I began reading and signing documents. Shortly after, Mycah knocked and en

I shook my head and stood up to compose myself. I was still trembling from what had happened. Xander had shielded me, putting himself in harm's way. If he hadn’t, it might have been me with a head injury—or worse.Moments later, the ambulance staff arrived. Loraine and her mother, crying hysterically, followed as Xander was carried out. Mycah approached me, clearly worried. “Vivi, are you okay? I’m sorry. I tried to stop them from coming in earlier, but they were too aggressive,” Mycah said apologetically.I studied her face and bit my lip when I noticed the redness on her cheek. She’d been slapped! Even she wasn’t spared by those two! My gaze fell to her arms, scratched and bloody from their assault. They didn’t just harm me; they dragged others into this madness too. “Let’s go. We’ll follow them to the hospital, and you’ll get treated too. You’ve got a lot of injuries. I’m sorry, Mycah, that you got caught up in this. Those two are unbelievable,” I said angrily. I turned my back

I couldn't stop myself from smirking as I looked at the mother and daughter, now standing like two candles that have melted. My gaze shifted to Dad as he stepped forward and looked at me coldly. “That's enough, Vivien. If Loraine is to blame for what happened, maybe she has a reason, right? What is Alexander doing in your office? Your sister can't do something like that without a reason.”I couldn't help but sigh into nothingness before bitterly smiling. Yeah, right. He'll side with his mistress. “Dad, I saw them hugging when I entered the office. She was flirting with my fiancé. She’s desperate to do anything to get revenge on me and mom.”Loraine said through tears. Wow! Unbelievable. Dad's cold stare turned to anger.“Look, you’re the one at fault, Vivien! Haven’t you had enough? You still want to take revenge?”He angrily said. I just shook my head before meeting his gaze. “First of all, I didn’t flirt with Xander. I don’t destroy relationships. I’m not like your mistress. An

I couldn't continue what I was saying because of Xander's sudden interruption. He was already awake and listening to our conversation.Now, his cold eyes were fixed on me. “You're awake, my child…”His mother said, but Xander ignored her and kept his attention on me. Loraine also moved to the other side of the bed. “B-babe…”Instead of turning his attention to his family and fiancée, he kept staring at me. “Y-you heard what I said, Ms. Herrera? You will not find another Engineer. Me and my team will finish your Resorts.”He said again in his hoarse voice. I sighed before gently shaking my head. “Don’t think about that right now, Engr. Montenegro. You just woke up, you need to rest. Well, we can talk about it another day, but for now, you need to rest.”I thought he would listen, but he was really hard-headed. He tried to get up even though he was in pain. His parents stopped him, but he insisted. They had no choice but to raise the bed slightly and assist him to sit up properly.I

Three days have passed, and I’m still looking for an engineer to replace Xander. However, almost everyone I’ve come across doesn’t meet my standards. Engr. Dacumos and Engr. Montenegro are on a different level.Yesterday, I went to the resort to check on the work. Even without Xander, the plans are still being followed, and the progress continues. The team really works quickly. Because I was impressed by the progress, I treated them to lunch. I ordered a lot of food, even snacks for everyone.Some of them asked me how their boss is doing. It’s nice and enjoyable to talk with Xander’s team. I also noticed that some of the workers are quite young, while others are older but solid in their craft.Today, I’m in the office, still busy looking for an engineer. Unfortunately, there’s no one available in the company because everyone is tied up with their own projects.I was deeply focused on my laptop when the office door suddenly burst open, startling me. I instinctively held my chest in su

Why do I feel so different now? Why am I willing to listen to what he has to say? Am I just curious, or is it because I don’t want to repeat the mistake of not listening to him before? I can’t understand what I’m feeling—all I know is that I want to hear him out. Maybe this is what we need. Perhaps it’s time for us to have an honest conversation. Maybe this is the sign I’ve been waiting for. If we can make peace with each other, I might finally be able to introduce Alexis to him. I’ll be able to breathe easier, free from the weight on my shoulders.I kept my eyes on him, waiting for him to speak. His calm, bronze-colored eyes looked into mine before he spoke softly.“The relationship Loraine and I have is because of my mom and Vanessa’s wishes—an arranged marriage.”I was shocked. Arranged marriage? I didn’t expect that. His grip on my hand tightened as he looked away before continuing.“I had no intention of agreeing because I didn’t feel anything for Loraine. I was content with the

When the car stopped, I started to feel nervous. I put on my mask and blazer before entering the hospital. I went straight to the front desk to ask where Loraine's room was. They kindly told me the directions. I started walking and took the elevator. 5th floor, room 206B. It was a private room.When I got out of the elevator, I turned right and immediately saw the room. It wasn’t hard to find because the name was on the wall next to the door.Patient name: Loraine Herrera.I smiled. Herrera, huh? I stared at the door for a few seconds before deciding to turn the doorknob. Luckily, it wasn’t locked.As I entered, I kept a casual expression on my face. The people I didn’t want to see were there, and they were all looking at me. Vanessa raised an eyebrow while staring at me. Dad was just staring emotionlessly. Xander stood up in shock and greeted me. Meanwhile, Xander’s parents quietly observed.I looked at Loraine, clearly tired and sleep-deprived. She seemed okay, though? Tsk. “Baby,

The next day, I woke up again in Xander's arms, a smile forming on my lips. Last night, after a hot kiss, we returned to the room to rest. We didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.I hugged him until he woke up, and we had a short conversation while still holding each other. Then we both got up to start the day. He wasn’t going to work again today; he said he’d be watching over our son. Just like yesterday, we happily had our breakfast together. “Bye, Mom! See you later! I love you.” “Bye, Baby, I love you too. See you later.” I kissed him on the cheek before turning to Xander. “Bye, I’ll just text you later.” I stepped a little closer to him to give him a kiss on the lips. “Alright. I love you.” “I love you too. Be careful on your way home. Text me when you get to the condo, okay?”"Yes, ma’am!" Both Xander and Alexis said as they saluted me. I chuckled and shook my head before getting out of the car. I didn’t let them out because we’d be the center of attention again.When I e

It turns out we’re doing a sexy photoshoot today. I wasn’t informed—I thought it would just be a regular one.After getting my makeup and styling done, I went straight to the set to start the shoot.The photoshoot began, and I struck fierce poses since it was a sexy concept. I followed all the photographer’s instructions, making sure every pose was perfect so we wouldn’t have to redo anything. I didn’t want to waste time.The makeup artist met me afterward to retouch my makeup. Then, I changed into another sexy dress for the next shoot.I sent Xander a text, letting him know I had just one more shoot left and they could pick me up at the agency. Then I went back to continue the session.A wide smile spread across my face as soon as the shoot was over. I immediately headed to the dressing room to grab my things and change. I couldn’t wait to see my boys—I missed them so much.As I entered the room, I walked straight ahead, unable to wipe the smile off my face despite feeling tired. J

After an exhausting morning of playing around, we decided to leave the room. I still had to go to the office today—I couldn’t afford to skip work because of all the tasks waiting for me. Plus, I needed to stop by the agency later for a shoot.When we stepped out, breakfast was already prepared. As soon as we sat down, Xander took charge of serving food onto Alexis’ plate and mine. Alexis was absolutely thrilled that his dad was the one taking care of him today.“You’re going to work today?” Xander asked as we ate.“Yeah, I have to. I’ve got a pile of tasks at the office, and I have a shoot later at the agency.”He nodded thoughtfully.“Alright. I won’t go to Batangas today. I’ll postpone it until tomorrow. I’ll stay here to bond with our son. I’ll take care of him today, and we’ll drop you off and pick you up from work. Is that okay with you, son?”He turned to our son with a smile. Alexis eagerly nodded in agreement.“Yes, Dad! That’s a great idea! Let’s pick up Mom later. She’ll p

When I was done, I walked to the living room to call my husband and son, who were playing PS5.“Boys, stop playing now. Dinner is ready.”They both turned to me, nodded, and put down their controllers.Cute.Holding hands, they walked toward me. Xander gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead before wrapping an arm around me and guiding me to the dining area.“Wow! My favorite! Mom, did you cook this?”I nodded with a smile before serving Alexis some rice and caldereta. Then I filled Xander’s plate with rice, adding caldereta on one side and chop suey on the other.“Thank you, baby.”I simply smiled in response and served myself some rice. Manang Fe and Len watched us happily from the side.The dinner table was filled with laughter and stories. I mostly just listened as Xander and Manang Fe quickly bonded.After eating, I offered to clear the table and wash the dishes. I told Manang Fe to rest since her back suddenly started aching. Alexis went to clean herself up, leaving just Xander

“Yes, Dad! That's it! They'll catch you, Dad! Hurry up!”I paused what I was doing and turned to look at my son and husband when I heard Alexis's cheerful voice. A sweet smile spread across my lips as I saw them. I leaned back in my chair and watched them. I felt so light, so happy. I never imagined things would turn out this way. I’m lucky Xander understood the reasons behind my actions back then, even though I was partially at fault. He chose not to dwell on it. What matters to him is that we're whole again now.We’re still in my office. After the serious conversation earlier, I decided to work for a bit before we head to my condo. Yes, Xander wanted to stay at my condo too. Our son is overjoyed, and seeing him so happy fills me with contentment. I didn’t object—Xander and Alexis need time together to make up for the years they missed. Plus, it’s safer. Loraine won’t be able to barge in unexpectedly, thanks to the tight security there.Grandma has already gone home, but she was thr

Alexis' eyes widened as he looked at his father, his lips slightly parted. Xander, on the other hand, gazed softly at his son, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. I noticed the tears threatening to fall, and even I couldn’t help but feel emotional.“Is he really my daddy, mommy? Is that why you were holding hands earlier?” he asked softly, not looking at me. His shimmering eyes remained fixed on his father.“Yes, baby. He is your father. Go ahead, approach him,” I gently encouraged. Alexis obeyed and slowly walked toward Xander. Xander lifted his trembling hands, ready to embrace him.When Alexis got close, he immediately threw his arms around his father.“D-Daddy…”I clutched my chest, overwhelmed with emotion. Even if my son hadn’t expressed it in words, I knew he longed for his father—wanted to meet and know him. Though he never asked, I could see it in his eyes.“Son…” They embraced tightly. Tears streamed down my face, just as they did Xander’s, as he hugged and kissed our son’s

Vanessa approached her daughter before angrily turning to me.“How dare you insult us! You’re really getting back at us, aren’t you?! You took Xander from Loraine as revenge!”I smirked and shook my head. Talking to them was mentally draining.“Why? Are you hurt, Vanessa? Because it’s the truth? You took my dad, and Loraine took Xander from me. I’m just taking back what’s mine. There’s nothing wrong with what I did. And you? What are you even fighting for? How many times do I have to repeat myself, huh? Destiny is simply exposing your true colors! And you, Loraine, forcing yourself on someone who doesn’t love you? What a pity!”I said sarcastically. Vanessa and Lorraine were both fuming with anger. It was painful, but it was the truth. They just needed to accept it.“I will never let you take Xander away from me! He’s mine! We’re getting married!” Loraine screamed defiantly.“There’s nothing that belongs to you, Lorraine. From the start, he was never yours. He’s mine. You just interfe

“Be strong. Fight for the love that has been taken away from you. You two deserve to be happy. But you still need to be careful. Loraine is in love with you, Xander, and that woman won’t give up easily. Don’t let her hurt my daughter.”Both Xander and I nodded, aware of what Loraine could really do. She’s a crazy bitch! She ruined things between Xander and me before, which is why we broke up. And now that I know the truth and Xander and I have made up, I will take back what was mine. Xander is mine. From the very beginning, he was always meant to be mine.So she can’t tell me that I stole Xander because from the start, she was the one who took him. I won’t stay silent anymore. I won’t give in or adjust. This time, it's all about me.“Yes, Tita, Dawn and I are aware of what Loraine might do, and don’t worry, I’ll do everything to protect her,” Xander said.“Alright, that’s all I wanted to hear. I’m just here to support both of you.”Both Xander and I smiled at Mommy. She’s so kind and
