“Ma'am, is everything alright?” One of Dulce's staff asked. She entered her office and called out her name, but Dulce was already lost in thought. She wasn't there.

She stares at her staff and hummed. “What did you just say?” She asked.

The staff smiled and stretched out a file to her.

“I asked if you were fine. I called your name several times,” the staff relayed.

Dulce receives the file, “Oh, that. So sorry I was in thought.”

"You asked me to bring the document of yesterday's sales. They are all recorded inside the file,” the staff said, and Dulce nodded her head, opening up the files.

“I'll take my leave,” The staff said and bowed to her before she walked out of the office.

Dulce hit her head in frustration. She has been thinking of Aspen all along. Her children are loving him too much, even when she has not agreed to give them to him. She didn't like the fact that they were warm with him, and it makes her doubt if they still love her.

Will they grow to love him deeply

    Dulce was torn between whether it was appropriate to have come or not when Becker walked in. Even though they had only been talking, she could not help but feel guilty. Becker stood at a place and stared at the sight before him. Aspen clenched his fist, seeming not to be bothered by Becker's presence. Dulce had promised to let him pick up the kids from Aspen's house while she returned home to get some rest instead. And that was why he was in the house of the one man that she knew he had no love lost for. She had rushed here in a hurry, too restless to remember to call and inform him not to worry about heading over anymore since she had already gotten here. Though, not intended. “Hello, Becker,” Aspen said smoothly. Dulce fought the urge to tap her foot restlessly like a child caught stealing chocolate when she was doing nothing wrong. Not that she couldn't be here if she had reasons to. She had a good reason to be there, Her children were important. However, the way it happ

    “I'm going to have to take your word for it, then,” Aspen replied. Derek nodded with a grin and opened his hand. “Your fee is ten thousand dollars.” He said playfully. Aspen rolled his eyes, even though he was feeling optimistic now. Derek was sure that Aspen had a shot at winning Dulce's heart. If he could win the hearts of the twins, and he was sure that it would be easy because he loved Olleta and Zigfrid so much and would want nothing more than to be in a happy family. Though, with Dulce's acceptance. “Ask me about that money after Dulce starts to like me.” He responded with a chuckle. “You're down bad, aren't you?” Derek asked, for the first time, looking at his friend with a wary look on his face. Aspen nodded, suddenly feeling less optimistic when he remembered that there was Becker to worry about. He had seen the way Becker looked at Dulce and no man looked at a woman like that, except he was head over heels for her. That was because he also looked at her in

    “Will you tell me what is in the document?” Dulce said with a frown. Becker merely gestured for her to open it. Grabbing the document, she pointed to a seat, raising her eyebrow in question. “Will you sit down at least?” She asked. Becker took a seat and gestured towards the document again, his smile nothing but smug like he had found out something big. Like he had found out a secret. “Will you open it?” Becker asked and gestured towards the envelope again. “I did some serious research before I was able to get all of this information. So go ahead and open it.” His last sentence made Dulce even more curious about what was in the document and hurriedly, she opened the paper and her mouth widened in surprise. Staring at her was a picture of Aspen. The entire information was about Aspen. There were cut out pictures of him in the document, and her hands froze in place when she finally saw the article that made her blood cease. “What is this?” She asked Becker with shock clo

    “Hello, Dulce,” Aspen said, his face breaking into a gentle small smile as he admired her. Dulce looked beautiful, no matter what she wore. However, his smile faded when her face remained strong and devoid of any smile, clutching a piece of paper in her hands tightly. Dulce took in a deep breath as she surveyed his office. It was large and well-decorated, leaving no doubt that the space belonged to a very influential and wealthy man. After all, Aspen was the CEO. “Hello, Aspen.” She replied, voice devoid of emotion as she dropped the document on the table. Looking between her and the document that she had just dropped on the table, Aspen wondered what was contained in the paper. “What is that?” He asked nervously, his smile fading when he saw that she looked genuinely disturbed. She shrugged, gesturing to the paper on the table instead, before clasping her hands behind her back as she watched for his reaction. Aspen took a look at the document, and he froze when he reali

    Even though speaking with Aspen had reassured Dulce that he had everything under control, she was very annoyed by Becker's actions. He had gone too far, intruding into another man's privacy. And she would have understood if Becker was really doing all of this because he believed Aspen would not be a good father to the children, but she knew that was not the case. What started as an act had become real. Too real for any sort of convenience. She knew that he was only doing it because he was jealous of Aspen and because he was scared that Aspen's sudden presence in their lives would ruin their relationship. A relationship that was never meant to be this serious. She had tried to reassure him that this was not the case, but he remained obstinate and so blind with jealousy that he refused to see that what he was doing was very wrong. That he was becoming someone that she could not trust. He was actively trying to sabotage her children's relationship with their father, and it was

    Aspen's mouth fell open in shock at his mother's statement, and he blurted out. “What?” His mother laughed softly and stole a glance at her husband. “You see? I told you that our boy had gone ahead and fallen in love. It's true.” “Hmm.” His father exhaled weakly and gave Aspen a scrutinizing look. One that made Aspen worried that perhaps his face was revealing too much. How had they known about Dulce? Did someone tell them about her? Derek, perhaps? No, it couldn't have been Derek. His friend was many things, but being loose-lipped was not one of them, especially not around his parents. If it was not Derek, then who? He should have known before this that there were newscasters all around him, waiting with bated breaths to spread any information about him that they could get their hands on, and he wondered which of them had run to report to his mother this time. “It seems your mother is right, son. You look like you've been caught stealing candy from under the Christm

    The smile on Aspen's face was big as he drove into the parking lot of Dulce's apartment building, his joy knowing no bounds. He was here to pick up his kids to spend the day with him after weeks of only speaking to them over the phone, and he missed them terribly. When he got to the parking lot, he took a deep breath and sent a text to Dulce. Aspen: Hi, I'm here to get the kids. It took some minutes before she replied. Dulce: Oh, hi, Aspen. I had to rush to work early. You can go up and get them. Becker is still in. Aspen's smile faltered as he read the text, but he sent her a reply. Aspen: Okay, thank you. He had hoped to catch a glimpse of Dulce today, even if it was only briefly. Though he was disappointed that he would not be seeing her, he understood that she had to leave for work. Who he was less than enthusiastic to see was James Becker, the other man in Dulce's life. His rival, competitor, and a man who had no issues doing whatever it took to keep Dulce. He

    Dulce's phone vibrated with a message as she got off work. Her heart got pierced when she saw it was from Aspen. He had texted earlier, so polite about going over to pick up the kids, and all day she had been worried about what would have happened if he and Becker had met. But Dulce had been too shy to ask him and didn't want to piss off Becker by asking him either, so she had just spent the entire day stewing. "Hey. Not that I don't want to keep the kids with me until evening, but my parents are coming over, and I don't want them to see the kids just yet. I've not told them anything yet. I don't want to scare the little ones. Can you come to pick them up?” Heaving a sigh of relief that it hadn't been what she had been imagining, she waved goodbye to her colleagues and hurried over to his house. "Mummy!” The twins squealed when Dulce entered the mansion and found them playing with toys beside the pool. Running to hug her. On recalling their mom's words about running, they

    A month had gone by and everything was finally settling in. Dulce had moved into a new apartment with the kids and their nanny, Cynthia. Her former apartment brought her nightmares."Zig! Olletta! where are you guys?" she yelled. She was trying to get ready for her first date with Aspen and also prepare the kids for a weekend with their grandfather."Over here," Zigfrid called out from somewhere near the stairs, sounding tired. "We can't find Olletta. Have you seen her?""Hang on," Dulce said as she ran upstairs. She opened her bedroom door and immediately saw a pile of clothes on the floor."Mom! Where have you been?! You gotta pick us up in fifteen minutes!" Olletta cried.Dulce sighed. "Look, kiddos, we can't go to the mall today, because of our schedule.""But, it's summer!" Olletta whined."I know. But your grandfather is coming in to pick you and your brother up. Mummy wants an alone time with your dad," Dulce said, trying to convince Olleta. Olletta frowned slightly. "That sou

    Eventually, she managed to calm down. Once she did, she pulled away from him. Her tears were still streaming down her cheeks."I'm so sorry for running away, papa," Dulce muttered.He smiled sadly. "It's okay. But, you know you had a choice in all of this. It's not your responsibility to be in this. You don't have to apologize for that," he reassured."I know. I just...," She trailed off."What is it sweetheart?""I mean, I didn't tell you the real reason I left. I just disappeared and I always felt bad about it. Even when I came back, I didn't come to see you.""Why?" he questioned.Dulce hesitated at first before answering her father. " I was afraid."He arched his brow. " Afraid of what?""I was afraid you'd hate me."Aspen, Derek, Cynthia and Mrs Cassy McKinney filed out of the room immediately they saw Dulce and Theodore having a father and daughter moment. They didn't want to interrupt.Once they were gone, Mr. Theodore Florencia approached his daughter once again. He gently car

    "Yes ma'am," Cynthia said, her head slightly bowed."Why do you..." she wheezed a little. Cynthia reached out for the water and gave it to her. "Thanks. Now, why do you look like you were used as a punching bag?" She chuckled weakly.Cynthia sighed. "That isn't important right now. We'll talk about it when you're better," she said."Yeah," she replied slowly before coughing. She cleared her throat and swallowed hard. The doctor came closer to check her pulse."Everything looks fine to me. She's awake now and she seems alert enough to understand us. So I'd say it's safe to say she's going to be completely okay," the doctor confirmed. "We should get her discharged in a few days, but I want you to bring her back next week. She needs rest."Derek nodded. "Okay, doc."Dulce stiffened at the sound of a familiar voice. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Derek and Aspen together and another stranger with them."Uhhh..." she slurred her words."Derek, why... are you here... wit

    Theodore was shocked at the turn of events. He couldn't believe that he supported Becker. The very man who was behind his daughter's predicament. He couldn't believe that he almost fell for his bullshit.The thought of strangling Becker crossed his mind. He wrapped his hands in a fist as he paced up and down the court's hallways."Fuck!" he said, muttering under his breath. He was so angry and disappointed that he could hardly see straight. After a few minutes, he calmed down and took in a few deep breaths, attempting to calm himself down from his rage. He didn't want the others to know how agitated he was by the situation. No doubt they'd pity him, and that made him even angrier. "Fuck," he repeated, this time quietly. He ran his hand through his hair in an attempt to clear it out of his eyes.``Damnit, damnit, dammit...I shouldn't have been so easily swayed." The last thing he wanted was to make it seem like he had fallen for Becker's lies.Theodore tried to focus on calming himself

    The defence calls Ms Cynthia, the nanny to Ms. Dulce Florencia's children, to the stand," the defense attorney said, beaming with pride.Everyone began muttering among themselves and the courtroom buzzed with excitement and speculation about whom it might be. Cynthia tried her best not to gulp nervously but judging by the glances people were sending her way, she failed miserably.As soon as she reached the stand, a familiar voice erupted from the spectators section. "How dare you show up here without telling anyone?!" The voice belonged to a female reporter. "Are you aware that you are a witness to a crime! I bet you're here for the money!" she screamed angrily."Excuse me?" Cynthia snapped. "What do you mean by that? Did this reporter just assume that I was here because of some money? Do you think this is funny?!" Cynthia yelled furiously.Everyone hushed and fell silent. People stared wide eyed at Cynthia, waiting to see how she was going to react.

    At the crack of dawn, Cynthia had struggled her way out of bed. She ruffled her hair a bit so she wouldn't be recognized before stepping out of her ward sneakily.As she passed the corner of her ward's hallway, a smooth feminine voice stopped her. Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach."Hey! Checked the patient in Room 3?" the voice asked. Cynthia turned and a nurse stood before her."Uh..." She stuttered."Oh, my bad. I assumed you were a nurse," the nurse said.She smiled kindly at Cynthia before gesturing for her to keep going. Cynthia continued on her way. After a brief moment of hesitation, she slipped into the hall towards her destination.She didn't want to be caught unawares and. so she put up a straight face and walked briskly out of the hospital, avoiding conversations of any kind until she got to the road.She glanced around her and relaxed.

    Ms Linda, I wish I could reveal everything to you but I can't. I'm grateful for what you and your daughter have done for me," Cynthia said, wishing they wouldn't ask her more questions.She didn't know the answer to any of them and she wasn't sure she wanted to. All it did was make her want to disappear even more than she already did. "But, I still have things I need to deal with and I need your help.''The girl's mother nodded, accepting her words at face value."What is it? Name it," Linda encouraged her to speak freely."Well...I don't really know how to explain this..."she trailed off not knowing where to start. "But I need to make a call and I was wondering if you could lend me your phone for a few minutes."Cynthia wasn't sure if they'd agree to her request but she needed to ask anyway. Her life would be in danger if anyone ever knew that she was alive."Oh, Cynthia, of course we'll let you borrow our phones to make a call. How about five minutes? You know you just got up and you

    "Oh my goodness!" a young girl of nine years old gasps in shock."What is it again, Maya? See something amusing again?" the middle aged lady questions."Mum, look!" she says and points in the direction of Cynthia. Cynthia was walking haphazardly along the road, clinging on to dear life and praying that a miracle happens. "The poor lady looks like she could use some help.""That's because we're not helping." the girl's mother says, as she drives the car closer towards Cynthia, who was trying hard but failing to hold herself up. "We can't just abandon the lady like that . She looks so helpless," Maya reacts sadly."Yes, yes you can," her mother, Ms Linda warns sternly." I can't believe you right now, mum!" the little girl says sadly before folding her arms. together and looking at her side of the window, not wanting to see her mother drive past the wounded lady without helping.Ms Linda scoffs.

    "Get up you slut!" one of the thugs said.It had been days since Cynthia was constantly tortured and her body showed proof. The marks on her body were enough to leave scars. A lot of bruises and cuts had formed over time. Her clothes were torn, dirty, and her hair messy. She was just lying there on the floor with no energy at all. One of the thugs kicked her face. "Get up or we're gonna fuck it up!" Another thug said angrily. He didn't mean it seriously though; he was just angry because she wasn't moving. Cynthia looked around trying to gather herself as much as possible but she couldn't muster up any strength. She was still too weak, too exhausted even. There weren't any other options though, so she stayed limp. The thugs grabbed her arms harshly and pulled her up.They threw her across the room. They kicked her once before hitting her in the stomach. Cynthia groaned from pain and tried to curl into a fetal position. She wanted to die right then and there. But if she died then the
