"T-thank you," I mumbled, not looking at him.
Suddenly, Mrs. Salcedo was called by the wedding coordinator. "Mrs. Salcedo, the wedding is about to start."
"Alright. I'll be there in a minute." She retorted. Then, she turned to me. "Hannah, I'll leave you with Mr. Ricafort in the meantime." Mrs. Salcedo said before she turned and left.
I didn't speak. I couldn't look at Alex as well. I was so ashamed that he found out

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest. I blinked repeatedly, not able to make eye contact with Alex. I nervously moistened my dry lips. "A-Alex, it's getting late," I mumbled as I slightly pushed him away from me. But I was not able to move as Alex placed his left hand on the door while his right held my waist. "So?" He replied. His lips touched my cheek that caused an electrifying feeling to my being. I held my breath. I closed my eyes as I gulped. "I'm tired, Alex." "I missed you, Hannah. Your smile, your scent, and your warm hugs." He

Alex turned at me with a wry smile on his lips. I could sense that he was delighted that I chose him over Laurence. I rolled my eyes at him as I took a deep sigh. Then, I walked away without a word.

"I'm going ho--" I was not able to finish what I was saying as Alex pressed his lips against mine. My heart skipped a beat while my eyes widened in surprise.

When I arrived at the restaurant, Laurence was already there, waiting for me. He smiled and stood up from his seat when he saw that I was coming. "What do you want to talk about, Laurence?" I asked coldly as soon as I sat down on the chair. He didn't answer my question. He just picked up the menu on the table. "Let's eat first. What do you want for dinner?" "I'm full," I responded, crossing my arms as I looked at him. I noticed that Laurence knitted his brows for a second, but he instantly shifted his

One week later. I attended the monthly meeting with the Regional Heads and Executive Directors to discuss the latest Revenue Report of our company. "Based on last month's Revenue Report, our Rental Income decreased by 10% versus last year. The main reason is due to lower sales generated by our Percentage Tenants this year while some Fixed Tenants didn't renew their contracts." Ms. Roberts reported. My eyes were fixed on the figures flashed on the screen where I could clearly see the decline in the graph that's being presented. Then, I turned to the Notes to Rental Income Report in my hands.

When I woke up, I was already in a strange all-white room. I tilted my head to the side and saw my mom. "M-mom," I mumbled in a hoarse voice. My mom who was sitting on the couch quickly stood up and approached me. "How are you feeling, honey?" "I feel better. Where are we?" I asked as I tried to sit on the bed.

I suddenly sat down on the bed. "Mr. Tricked? I think you misheard what Jenna called you." "And how come I misheard it?" He asked. "Jenna told me about it. She called you Mr. Ric, not Mr. Tricked. You know, Mr. Ric, short for Mr. Ricafort." I tried to justify, hoping that Alex would believe it. "Oh, Mr. Ric, short for Mr. Ricafort." I heard Alex chuckling on the line. I could imagine his sarcastic face by its sound. Then, he added, "Don't try to deceive me again, sweetie. I asked her to repeat it. And I heard it clearly. Mr. Tricked, huh?” I sighed. I knew I couldn't deny it any

I let out a deep sigh before I walked towards the elevator going to the top floor. As I reached the presidential suite, I leisurely tapped the key card and opened the door. Then, I entered the suite, pulling my luggage. However, my forehead creased as I saw rose petals scattered on the floor, heading towards the living room. No, towards the room, I guessed. I followed the lane of rose petals, leading me to the room. But my heart skipped a beat as I screamed when a pair of arms suddenly hugged me from the back. I only calmed down when I recognized Alex's voice. “Hey, it's me, sweetie. Did I start

"Grandpa?" I uttered. Tears stung my eyes. I couldn't believe that he was smiling brightly in front of me. My heart was filled with mixed emotions. I lowered my body and hugged my grandfather. After a while, I raised my head. I glanced at Alex and then back to my grandfather. I had so many questions in my mind that I couldn't manage to ask. My grandfather gently wiped my tears. "Don't cry, my princess. You just gave birth to my great-grandchild." He mumbled in his wavering voice. "I missed you, grandpa. I'm glad that you're fine. I'm so sorry if I left you." I mumbled as I held his hands.

Nine months later. I was preparing for my prenatal check-up when I heard a knock on the door. I glanced at myself in the mirror first and got my bag before I walked out of my room. My tummy was now as big as a round watermelon. Anytime, I would give birth to my baby boy. I was so excited. Everything was ready, from his tiny clothes to his bed. I smiled as I opened the door. It was Arnold. He used to accompany me whenever I would go to my OB since I reached the third trimester of my pregnancy. Although I refused several times, he told me that it's better if I have someone with me, especially now that I would give birth anytime.

I was certain that grandpa had his reasons why he transferred part of his shares to me and not to my dad. But what's his reason? Sigh. I regretted that I didn't insist on knowing.

Mr. Scott, John, and Mr. Adams were also there. They were smiling at me as I stepped into the room. "Surprised!" Mr. Scott exclaimed. "What's going on here?" I asked as I furrowed my forehead.

My grandfather leaned back on the couch while waiting for my answer. However, I really couldn't find the words to say. I was afraid of what would be his reaction when I admitted the truth.

Alex didn't respond. I glanced at him. He seemed to be in deep thought with his jaw clenched and knitted brows. I didn't speak anymore as I didn't want to give him any more worries. Alex had been very busy the next few days. He looked so exhausted already with dark circles under his eyes. He's still trying to find ways how they could file claims since he would suffer a huge loss if he's not able to get any cents from the insurance company. He consulted their Legal Team and other lawyers for any possible resolution about the matter. Sigh. I couldn't afford to see him like this. And I couldn't just stay silent, knowing that there's a way on how to solve the issue about their insurance claims. Thus I de
