I breathed a sigh of relief with his answer. I smiled back at him when our eyes met.
"Why do you sound more in love rather than making reconciliation, Mr. Ricafort?" Another follow-up question from the panel.
I could feel that my face blushed with that unexpected question. I held my breath as I looked at Alex, waiting for his answer.

I just shrugged my shoulders as I stood up and went to my room to take a shower. However, as soon as I entered the room, my phone rang. I grinned as I excitedly answered the call. "Hello, Emily. What's up? Are you back already?" I asked. Emily traveled to the northern suburbs and visited her parents. "Yeah. I brought you your favorite strawberries. When are we going to meet?" She asked. My eyes sparkled. "Really? You're the best! Let's meet as soon as I come back from the summit." "Alright. By the way, I visited your adopted mom as you wished.” “How is she?” I asked as my smile faded and was re

Alex brushed his warm lips on my cheek, going to my ear, and whispered softly. "It's too early to sleep, sweetie." I caught my breath due to the scorching sensation caused by his warm lips on my skin. "Y-Yeah, but we have nothing to do anymore. Besides, we need to get up early tomorrow." I mumbled as I tried to loosen his grip. Alex turned me around to face him. His hand slid down my back to my waist, drawing me against his warm body. We're too close to each other, making me feel his hot breath. "We ca

When I recovered my senses, I quickly followed Alex. I found him in his room, changing his clothes."I'm going with you." I declared as I helped him buttoning his shirts.Alex paused. Then, he looked at me. "Are you fine now?"I nodded my head. "Yeah, don't worry about me.""But--""No buts, Alex. I want to go with you." I uttered with determination. Thank goodness, my tummy no longer ached."Alright. I'll ask John to send someone

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

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. His expression became gentle as he patted my hand. "I will not get mad. Just tell me the truth. Your parents told me that you denied it, but they learned you're seeing him again. So, I want to know the truth from you." "Y-Yes, grandpa. I-I lied to them because--" My grandfather interrupted me. "Don't worry. I understand. You don't have to explain." He uttered with an approving smile.

I took a deep breath before I anxiously turned the doorknob of Alex's office. However, I was surprised at the sight when I opened the door. "A-Alex?" I uttered as my eyes roamed around the room. 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. "Guess what? We successfully proved that the renewal of the insurance should take effect even in the absence of the Renewal Advice." Mr. Scott explained while Alex walked towards me and held me on the waist.

My grandfather fell into a coma. I didn't know what happened. My parents just told me that he didn't wake up that morning. That's why they immediately brought him to the hospital.Hence, I rushed to the hospital. He was already in the intensive care unit (ICU) when I arrived.I couldn't believe my eyes.

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. He was about to say it that night when we had talked. However, it's too late now. I signed the Share Transfer Agreement as I thought that it's a simple document and had nothing to do with me. Moreover, I trusted my dad and Jenna. Little did I know that my own father was plotting against me. I swallowed dryly. Then, I took a d

"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.

When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed in a strange room. I looked around and saw Alex. He was talking on the phone on the balcony. It was already dark outside, so I checked the time. It's ten in the evening already. After a while, Alex ended the call and came back to the room. I sat down on the bed as Alex approached me. "You're awake. How are you feeling?" He asked with a bright smile on his lips. "What happened?" I questioned. "You fainted earlier." He answered, but his smile didn't vanish from his lips.

He asked in a soft voice.I gazed at his steely blue eyes as I gently nodded my head. Tears burned my eyes, still frightened of what happened. Thank goodness that he's safe. I thought he got shot since he shielded me when I heard the gunshots."I-I'm s-scared," I mumbled in a trembling voice."Don't be scared. I'm here to protect you." Alex uttered as he wiped
