Four days before we announced the press conference
“Ellie, I have a meeting today with RV shitty company,” I informed her.
She chuckled. “You are so mean, Ulie.”
I clenched my jaw. “That name suits their company. I will never forgive them for what they did to you. I will surely make them pay. They insulted you an Escarrer.”
Her forehead creased. “I am not part of Escarrer.” She corrected me.
I smirked. “The moment you gave birth to our children, you automatically became part of the Escarrer family.”

‘Hey Ellie, are you available for a meeting?’ “I guess. Why?” ‘We will be opening a restaurant in Tagaytay, and we want CIC to do this project.” My eyes widen. I was surprised when Nick calls me all of a sudden. Wow! After LHI, we will be working on another big project. Hearts Restaurant Group is a famous restaurant here in the Philippines because of its reputation in the US. They were one of the known high-end restaurants in America. My issue about LHI will end soon. The pres
“You look pale, Ellie. Are you sick?” Ulie asked.He looks at me with pure concern on his face.“No. I’m good. I wasn’t able to sleep well because I am thinking about today’s meeting.” I lied.The truth is, I wasn’t able to sleep at all because his kiss last night keeps bugging me.Ulie and I were clear about our relationship. We are nothing but Alistair and Amelia’s parents. We are both aware that we don’t need to pretend a couple for the twins. We want to raise them fully aware of their parent’s actual relationship status.I never ask him to be faithful becaus
Today is the most awaited press conference of LHI. “Are you ready?”I smirked at Ulie. “Of course.”He offers his hand to me, and I gladly accepted it.Aside from Ulie and me, Nick will also be joining the press conference along with the legal representative from CIC and LHI.Ellie's family is with us. They will stay in the waiting room beside the hall where the press conference will happen. They will watch the live press conference there. And they will take care of the twins for the time being.Jace opens the hall for us. Many reporter
“Of course there is. And we already know who is the person behind all these.”The media started to murmur and flash cameras again.This is a big scoop for everyone. They will not miss it for the world.The legal representative started to explain my claims.“After the commotion in the LHI resorts media launch, our company started to investigate. It’s obvious that it was well planned and someone is behind this.” He started his speech.“We look on the bank account of the person who maliciously accused Ms. Cabello of doing dirty tactics to get the LHI Resort Project.”
After the press conference regarding CIC’s credibility in getting the LHI Resort Project, our company was still the hot topic in the country. The only difference now is that all the write-ups were positive. Our credibility is now cleared, and our stocks tripled- the stocks will be considered an all-time high, thanks to Nicholas Hearst and Ulysses Kade Escarrer.“Ellie, the receptionist, called, and she told me that Mr. Ventura is in the lobby and he wanted to talk to you. I told her that you would not meet him, but Mr. Ventura insist on meeting you, and now he is making a scene in the lobby.” Luna reported to me.I am not surprised by his sudden visit. I heard that his company is facing bankruptcy because of his scheme. When Ulie announced that they blocked listed RV, it's expected that it will be the end
“Alistair and Amelia! My babies, your auntie misses you so much!” Kaela went to the twins when we arrived at Escarrer’s mansion. The twins’ grandparents requested us to spend the weekend with them in their mansion.It’s been a month since the issue with Mr. Ventura happened. The company became so busy because of the two projects. Engineers from CIC started to execute the project and I can’t wait to see the final execution of the project. “Ellie can you consider living here with the twins? I want to spend time with them everyday.” Kaela said for the nth time.Whenever she visit
“What if she ask you to give Ulie to her, will you give her what she wants?”My forehead furrowed. “Why are you asking me these kind of questions? Did something happen?”He shrugged. “Nothing. I was just curious. The Adelson didn’t do anything when the Escarrer cancel the marriage that they have agreed on.”He has a point, even I, myself were quite surprise when the Adelson didn’t made any move nor reaction on Escarrer’s sudden decision.“What do you think?” He asked me.I heaved a sighed. “I’m don’t know. I don’t know them personally, I
Ulie is clingy these past few days. It all started when I told him that Nick and I are friends. I see him in my office every lunchtime, and he will invite me to have lunch with him. I can’t reject him because he will always assume that the reason why I am rejecting him is because of Nick.One time I have a lunch meeting with someone. We are having our breakfast when I inform him about my lunch meeting.He said to me. “Are you sure that it's a business lunch meeting, or you will just meet Nick?”I rolled my eyes. “Why will I lie to you? I will meet Ms. Hernandez to discuss a potential project with them
I thought that life is so unfair. I even hated God for letting all of this happened. I only loved one woman in my life, but why did God allow me to be the reason for her sufferings? I hated God so much that I tried to kill myself. I feel like, my mere existence is the cause of the suffering of many people. The suffering of the people I love. They said when you don’t understand, you just need to trust God. I failed to do this. I failed to trust Him. One thing God has proved to me was, he is still in control. He did not let me die, instead, He gave me what I longed desire, and that is Ellie. I can’t believe that s
“Ellie, my brother committed suicide.” “W-what?!” Kaela didn’t say anything. All I can hear was her nonstop crying. I hang up the phone and went straight to the hospital. I called Luna and asked her to go to the hospital to take care of the kids. When we reached the hospital Luna was already there. “I heard what happen. How is he?” She said upon seeing me. “I don’t know yet. I need to talk to Kaela first. Can you get the kids and take care of them?” I asked. Luna nodded. “Don
I was so down after my daughter pushed me away. I asked my son to stay with her sister tonight. I know that Amelia needed her brother right now. Even though Amelia bullies her twin brother most of the time, Alistair is still her confidant. Also, I wanted to be to go to my parents. I need their comfort. So I drove my car to their mausoleum. It’s really a good thing that I made this mausoleum like a home. Especially in times like this. When I went inside and saw my parent's grave, tears start to fall again. “Mom,” My voice broke. “My daughter hates me. She doesn’t want to listen to my explanati
“What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I’m not fine. My daughter hates me now. It’s all your fault.”Ellie hates me and I can’t blame her. It was my mistake who took away the lives of the people close to her... Ellie’s only family.Because of me, Ellie became an orphan. She needs to take on difficulties and responsibilities at an early age. I am proud of how strong she became but I am also mad at myself because she could have avoided this kind of loneliness and hardship if it wasn’t for me. I keep on questioning myself why did I do that?! Why did I try to beat the red light?! I should have waited! I was able to wait for her for five years, but why can’t I wait for a minute or two?
“What’s there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!” Amelia shouted then she went out of my office.I glared at Hadley. She covers her mouth. “Oppps, I’m sorry! But don't worry everything will be alright after I execute my plan. Bye!” Then she went out of my office as if she won a lottery. I felt so weak. My daughter hates me more now. But what is she doing here? I was about to go to Luna and ask her why Amelia was in my office when I saw Alistair looking at me. I went to him and hold his hand. “Alistair I will expl
“Hi, Ellie. Amelia called me and she wants me to take her to the mansion.” Karma explained when I was the one who opened the door for her.I just nodded and I open the door widely for her to come in. I showed her to the twins’ room. I saw both of them sitting on their respective bed. But Amelia has a bag with her, looking determined to leave me. I controlled my tears from falling. I know I messed up big time. I guess they are better to stay in Escarrer mansion than be with me. I was still mourning for my parents. I was not able to mourn for them before because things happened so quickly that I find it hard to absorb everything.
“Come back home. The kids are waiting for you.”I was stunned for a moment. We often believe that everything happens for a reason. But I can’t seem to figure out why all these things happened. Why did God let me fall for someone responsible for my parents’ death? Why did God let me have children with him? I even let myself believe that Ulie was the one for me. “Are you okay?” I did not notice Luna’s presence. I was so consumed by my emotion. “I would be lying if I told you that I am okay because it’s so
I woke up with a heavy heart. I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from crying all night. I still can’t believe that this is all happening. I can’t believe the person I entrusted my heart to broke it again for the second time. I regret meeting him. My phone rang. It's the phone we gave to the twins. “Hello?” “Mommy! Where are you? Why are you not staying in the house? Are you with dad?” Amelia asked. My eyes started to well up again. “I... I was at your grandparents’ mausoleum. I dream of the
“I was the one who killed your parents. I was the one who causes the accident.”“What are you saying?” I was so worried when Ulie suddenly passed out after he was shouting for pain. I immediately call the ambulance. Flashback The first person that came out of my mind was Quen. I called him and told him about what happened. “How is he?” Queen said as soon as he arrived at the hospital. “The doctor said that he is stable now. But they will run some tests to find out why he was suddenly in pain.” I said.
