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.

    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

    I can see the determination in his eyes. He is ready to leave Loraine. I can't blame him if he truly wants to leave the woman. I'm afraid of what they will do. They won’t just ignore what will happen.I don’t know. I’m confused. I need to think first—too many revelations today. And then, he still has a fever; he needs to rest.I stood up and looked at him seriously. “I need to think first, Xander. Then think about everything you said. It's hard to act impulsively right now. The important thing is that we are okay and that we’ve clarified our issues before. For now, you need to rest; you still have a fever. Later, I’ll take you to the hospital once you feel better. I’ll just get you something to eat outside and medicine. Please, don’t be stubborn.”He sighed in surrender before nodding. Slowly, he lay down on the sofa. Thankfully, it was big enough to fit him. I took my coat and draped it over his chest. “Rest, okay? Don’t think about anything for now. I’ll just go out, but I’ll be r

    Grandma is also good at teasing her grandchild. Xander frowned as he looked at his grandmother, who was now grinning. “How did you meet him, Grandma? I didn’t know you knew Dawn’s fiancé… and wait, when did you two {vivien and grandma} meet, Grandma? It seems like you’re both really close.”His eyes narrowed as he looked at his grandmother with suspicion. The old woman didn’t stop grinning.“It’s a long story, my dear. The important thing is that Vivien’s fiancé isn’t a problem, just in case. You’re the one who has a big problem. I don’t understand why you’re involved with that Loraine. Look at the trouble she caused. She’s an embarrassment to our family…”It was very clear from the old woman’s expression that she disliked Loraine. Anyone would turn away from the kind of behavior that woman has. Just as Xander was about to speak, Grandma’s cellphone rang. The old woman moved gently to get the phone from her bag, and upon seeing who was calling, she looked at Xander.“Your mommy is

    The man lifted his gaze to her.“Good afternoon, Ms. Herrera, it’s nice to see you again.” He smiled, and she just stood there, stunned. She didn’t expect to see him today.“What are you doing here?” she asked as she recovered from the surprise, then went straight to her table to set down her bag. She turned to face him and leaned against the table, crossing her arms.The young man put down the iPad he was holding and glanced at her.“To do my job? And of course, to visit you. I heard you’ve been busy with shoots these past few days. Anyway, sorry if I’m just showing up now, I had some important things to take care of.”She frowned, wondering why he was informing her of this.“To do your job? Shouldn’t you be at the resort? Not here in my office, and you don’t need to visit me. I’m fine and busy.”She answered him gruffly. He shook his head, stood up, and walked towards her.“Why are you so grumpy? Can’t I visit you? I missed you. It’s been a week since I last saw you.” He said sweetl

    Vivien entered her office feeling drained. Her meeting with the board members lasted three hours. Her headache from all the things they discussed, especially the upcoming projects at the site.Vivien removed the pen from her hair and let her hair fall. That was what she had used to tie her hair during the meeting. She then took off her coat, revealing her black tank top.While she was busy with her coat, she didn’t notice that there was someone else in her office. She wouldn’t have noticed if he hadn’t cleared his throat from the corner.She was surprised to see Xander sitting on the single sofa, looking at her seriously. She couldn’t detect any emotion on his face, which made her furrowed her brows.“What are you doing here again?”She asked, clearly annoyed that the man had gotten used to showing up in her office. He seemed to have forgotten what they had discussed. He was practically coming to her office every day now, and if his fiancée followed him here and caused trouble agai

    VIVIEN'S POVI was still staring at the door where Xander had left. He had left a while ago, but I was still just staring.God! Vivien, give up already! Why am I so weak? After he confessed earlier that he had broken up with Loraine, I was speechless.Actually, I’m nervous. I’m sure Loraine will come after me and blame me for her breakup with Xander, but why am I nervous? I didn’t ruin their relationship. The guy never really loved her, he just agreed to their arrangement.Earlier, our conversation was cut short when his phone suddenly rang. It was an emergency call from the Montenegro empire. Even though he didn’t want to leave, he couldn’t do anything because he’s the Heir to Montenegro, and the company needed him.I leaned back in the swivel chair and closed my eyes tightly. Xander really broke up with Loraine. He couldn’t take it anymore. I opened my eyes and looked at the sofa where we had done something earlier. The memory of what we did suddenly came back. Argh, I can't believe

    “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

    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
