Today is the day my brother and I will be leaving. Mom will join us in a week to take care of the necessary tasks here, such as selling our house and land. We've also decided to give a portion to Alice's family, who have been dedicated servants to us for a long time.

As we gather in the living room, it's clear that my brother and mom have something important to share. Breaking the silence, my brother drops a bombshell: "Dad has another family." They must be expecting me to break down in tears and feel miserable, but I surprise them by saying that I already know.

"How?" Mom asks, puzzled.

"Before Christmas last year, Logan and I went shopping for gifts at the mall. At that time, I thought I was seeing things. I saw someone who looked exactly like Dad, accompanied by a woman and a little boy. Since that day, I suspected something was wrong. It all started to make sense—the way he never visited us, his constant busyness, and his empty apologies. If he truly felt sorry for us, he would ne

    -Logan’s POV-Everything changed when I received an unexpected call from an unknown number. Since only a few people have my personal number, I couldn't help but wonder who could be calling me."Hello? Who is this?" I inquired."I am finally home," a voice replied—a voice so familiar that it made my heart fall in love all over again."Krystabella?" I asked, struggling to believe my ears."There's no one else. I've missed you so much," she said, her voice filled with emotion. I was stunned by what I heard.On that same day, we met. The anger I should have felt transformed into longing. It was as if I suddenly remembered everything that transpired between us before.She looked the same, the girl I had once loved. I was confused by her return. How should I feel now that she's here? What about my feelings for Krystal Miranda?At this moment, confusion clouds my mind. All I know is that I'm happy she's here with me.We find ourselves at the back of the mansion, engaged in conversation. She

    While waiting for our flight, an urgent need to use the restroom suddenly struck me. I had to find the nearest women's bathroom quickly.As I entered the comfort room and finished my business, my cellphone rang. It was my dad calling, and perhaps this would be our first and final conversation.Summoning my courage, I answered the call and put the earpiece on."Krystal..." his voice trembled with emotion.Despite the expected compassion, all I felt was boredom. It was too late for him to feel guilt. If I were a less restrained daughter, I would have told him to stop with his dramatics because they no longer amused me.But he was still my dad, even though the image of the loving father from my childhood was now dead in my memories."Why?" I inquired."Are you really leaving?" he asked, sounding pained."Yes, I'm leaving you, Dad," I replied, striving to conceal the pain and bitterness in my voice."Don't leave me alone here," he pleaded."You won't be alone. You chose her, right? You ha

    I woke up from that enchanting dream. That's the kind of dream I long to experience. But in reality, would I feel the same? Would I run into his arms and embrace him tightly? Would it be as welcoming as in my dream?I myself don't know the answer. Even though I want to say no, my feelings for him haven't diminished that much, but my trust has been shattered. Not just for him, but for most guys I meet.Upon waking up, I immediately got out of bed and prepared myself. I needed to distract myself today and forget about that dream.As I drove my car, I received a notification. It was from my brother, informing me that one of the biggest and most influential investors in our company would be visiting today.I saw it as a golden opportunity. While I was confident in the success of our company, there were formidable competitors in the industry. Gaining a more powerful backer would be a significant advantage, especially in terms of advertising and securing essential partnerships to elevate ou

    When Logan courted me, it was evident from the start that he was truly serious about our relationship. He put in an extraordinary amount of effort, giving me his undivided attention. However, he took the unexpected turn of rekindling things with his ex-girlfriend, leaving me heartbroken.The pain I felt was immense. Fortunately, my family made the decision to leave Clayland behind and start afresh in the vibrant city of Azura.

I was furious with my brother for accepting him into our company!And then, I met Riyu.While he splits his time between Azura and his business in Claybourne, Riyu's patience and unwavering determination when it comes to me are truly remarkable.

    My original plan was to ignore him completely. I would walk straight to my condo door, enter the password, and just let him be. Maybe he's waiting for someone or something, which is really none of my business.And the audacity of him choosing a condo unit right in front of mine! How dare he. He probably never realized that every time I saw him in our business meetings, I was just tolerating him.I've been trying not to feel what I felt before because I'm afraid of falling for him again, and it's painful to know that he won't catch me.As I stood in front of my condo door, he approached me and hugged me from behind, leaving me breathless.My heart raced as fast as ever. I wanted to cry and go wild. Why? Why did he have to come back? I just wanted to move forward.I quickly pulled away from his embrace, scared of giving in again when I shouldn't."What are you doing?" I said irritably, wanting to start a fight with him, a fight that would make him never bother me again. But it seems lik

    "Do you remember our first meeting, Riyu?" I asked, trying not to catch him off guard. But I knew deep down that I had to do it, even though it broke my heart."Yup, I saw you in our university's auditorium. Your beauty captivated me instantly. I was a shy young guy who mustered the courage to approach you, but it seemed like you weren't interested in dating at that time. So, I tried to befriend you..." Riyu reminisced, sitting beside me on the swing."You're right, haha... I wasn't into dating back then because I wasn't ready to move on. I was still stuck in the past, unsure of how to move forward," I confided in him.Riyu smiled, and I appreciated his genuine nature. "I am here, waiting for you until you're ready. I will help you heal your heart," he assured me.I shook my head, and his smile began to fade. "Sorry, Riyu, but I've come to realize that you're not meant for me. I truly appreciate you, but I can't see myself falling in love with you," I gently told him.His eyes filled

    I can confidently say that Logan still possesses the traits I deeply loved about him. His caring nature and gentlemanly demeanor never cease to amaze me. I never tire of mentioning that he sets the standard for what a man should be. Just knowing how he cares for me and satisfies all my expectations in a partner.Admittedly, he is not perfect. It's true that he also wronged me; it wasn't right for him to leave me back then. He had his reasons, but it can't undo what's already done. However, a part of me is still grateful to some extent. Without those experiences in the past, I wouldn't be the stronger and more ambitious Krystal Krystal Miranda that I am today.He has contributed a lot to my personal growth, and I'm genuinely thankful for that.Now, I'm driving to the office in my car. This car was a gift from my brother when I was in college. He insisted that I learn how to drive, so I would have some background in it.I used to be terrified of the idea of driving a car, but Logan taug

I knew they would be happy for us. Before I informed my brother about the plan to marry Krystal Miranda, I called my sisters-in-law first; Kate and Alessa.

    “You look uneasy, why?”“Because you are staring,” I replied in a barely audible voice. I didn’t know if he heard me or what, but I didn’t give a damn. The man has disturbed my peace of mind since his arrival."You didn't seem to mind your appearance before; why do you appear uneasy now?"Jordan became aware of my discomfort and was impolite enough to inform me of it. Couldn't he just close his mouth? "You make me feel uneasy!" If only you wouldn't steal glances at my cleavage, I'd go change my clothes." I stood up to leave, but he grabbed my hand quickly, and I raised my brows when he did."If you don't want me to look, you should dress decently!"“That’s offensive to say, Jordan!” I told him.After calling out the misappropriate words he uttered, he felt offended and walked away. As a man, he should be saying that kind of nonsense because respecting a woman wouldn’t depend on the clothes she’s wearing.Nevertheless, I felt it was appropriate to follow him inside, and when I couldn’t

    When I joined him, he stared at me for a moment before he resumed eating. Due to my nervousness, I nearly forgot that he was shirtless! Unconsciously, my eyes traveled towards his well-formed chest, and damn it, how could he look so yummy in the morning!“You are making me uncomfortable,” he stated in a flat voice.“I’m sorry but I just realized that you are topless,” I told him.“Is this the first time you see a topless man, Krystal? I bet this is not the first time, so please stop acting.”One way or another, his statement was offensive, but still, I tried to remain calm. “I am not acting, sir,” I reasoned out.“Really, Miss Krystal Miranda?”When he called my name, I was too stunned to speak. My hands were shaking at the thought of being discovered. “You know me?” I asked him seriously.“Of course! Alice gave me your full name when she sent me the bank details,” he replied nonchalantly, and for a moment, I was able to breath. “So, going back to my request, I need a personal assista

    When Alice stopped me from taking the call, I was overthinking again. What if a creditor would suddenly call and I couldn't pay? “What is it? Don’t tell me that you have changed your mind about him,” I jested about Eleazar.“No, it’s not about him. I forgot to tell you that someone booked a long term stay in Bellcana. You were still sleeping when he called earlier,” Alice mentioned.“Great! Finally, we have a guest coming! Wait, I’ll take this call, and hopefully, it’s another reservation,” I said with excitement, even if Alice didn’t mention more details about the guest.“He availed the exclusive use of the entire resort for six months,” Alice continued.In a snap, the feeling of being excited was replaced with disappointment. “Exclusive use for six months? There’s no doubt it was a prank call,” I told her.“Hmmm, he asked for your bank details where he could send the payment,” Alice added, and I arched my brows in response.“We’ll see,” I said before dashing to the front desk to tak

    Instead of opening a food business, I decided to start a resort because Clayland has few resorts that could accommodate tourists. Since my marriage to Logan has been made public, Clayland has become a constant topic. Several socialites flocked to Clayland in hopes to find an old money like Logan’s family.Since I had no experience in running a resort, I attempted to copy my competitor’s way of doing business. Since the resort was built, I considered it as a start up business, and didn’t splurge on expenses.Another sigh escaped from my lips when I strolled towards Alice. She was engaged to my brother, but the bastard was smitten again by his ex-girlfriend. I groaned in frustration because I was reminded when Logan went to his ex and hurt my feelings!Men could really be dense and despicable at times!She carried my baby outside to get some sunlight and fresh air. Curly and light brown hair clung haphazardly to a pretty face. Deep into their sockets, darting brown eyes gazed smilingly

    "Hmm," I hummed, contemplating for a moment. "Actually, there is an issue. Everything was going perfectly, and your surprise exceeded my expectations. But here's my concern: why did you buy such an extravagant ring? This isn't even our wedding ring, and I dare you to suggest that our wedding rings will be even more expensive than this," I playfully threatened him.I am aware that I have a penchant for luxurious things, but the ring holds great significance to me. It symbolizes eternal love. I desire a simple ring to wear in public, one that proudly signifies that it was given to me by the man I adore and who adores me in return."What's wrong with an expensive ring?" he asked, genuinely puzzled. "You deserve it, and so much more. Let me indulge you," he pleaded, his eyes filled with a genuine desire to spoil me.It's as if he doesn't see me as a spoiled brat—no! He actually calls me a spoiled rotten brat. This man is truly something else."I'll let you spoil me in other ways, but not

Those memories from the past still bring me immense joy, and reminiscing about them fills my heart with warmth.We embarked on a horseback ride, Logan and I, making our way towards the majestic waterfall. As we reached our destination, we noticed that the falls had undergone some improvements. Logan must have known that we might return, so he took the initiative to have it restored. It's a testament to how much our favorite places mean to him.Interestingly, we didn't opt for a traditional church wedding. Instead, we chose this enchanting waterfall as the backdrop for our special day. Perhaps I can attribute it to my love for Twilight, where Bella and Edward had their beautiful forest wedding. I couldn't resist the idea of a similarly enchanting ceremony. How bold of me, indeed!As we stood by the waterfall, we couldn't resist immersing ourselves in the cool and refreshing water. I rem

    "Mom, it's not what you think, okay? We simply stayed up late last night, and as we were feeling hungry, we decided to have a late-night meal. But then, we couldn't immediately fall back asleep. We ended up staying awake, engaged in deep conversations. Unfortunately, my room isn't soundproof, so any noise could be heard," I explained, trying to clarify the situation."Well, I suppose there's some truth to that," my brother chimed in.After our somewhat awkward lunch, the food might have been delicious, but we struggled to enjoy it under Mom's skeptical gaze. The truth is, nothing happened between us last night or this morning. But if we had wanted to, why not, right?So, with that in mind, we decided to visit the mansion.
