Cora was still awake when they arrived. Casey and Niccolo were both surprised to see her sitting on the couch waiting for them to arrive. Cora asked her friend about what happened to their dinner with his parents. Casey told everything to her. "I never thought you would have a farm in your province, Casey. And your father is busy there. What a great idea!" Cora said. She laughs. "You're not a poor girl because have a farm in your province. I want to visit your farm soon. I'm so excited." Casey frowned. "We can't change it anymore," she mumbled. "I hope his parents won't be able find out the truth about us. It'll be the end for us. Our lies would be our endings!""It'll bring you to hell," Cora said. "No doubt about it, Casey...""What should I do?" She asked her friend."Continue what you started..." She replied. "Everything will be put into places." Casey frowned. "Huh? What do you mean?" Cora gave her a quick smile. "It's nothing, Casey," she replied and checked the clock. Ten mi
"We're not yet ready to marry each other," Niccolo told his parents when he came to the office of his dad. "We're not ready for it. I'm begging you, please," he begged. Helena and Fernando exchanged their looks. Minutes later, Helena speaks to her son. "I know. But you need to marry her, Niccolo. We are your parents and we're not getting any younger. We really want to see our grandson or granddaughter while we're still alive in this world. And we want to make sure you're having a good future with your wife. You're our only son and heir. You need to marry her, Niccolo. We'll pay all the expenses on your wedding day. Do you want beach wedding, huh?" Niccolo tapped his forehead and mumbled something on air. Her mom didn't hear it very clearly."What did you say, Niccolo?" Helena asked her son who's frowning as she asked him. He breathed deeply and licked his lips bed he answer his mom."It's nothing, mom," he said. "Forget it, please..." Helena nods quickly to her son and looked at his fa
Niccolo bought a new condominium. It wasn't for him, but for the two women who lived in his condominium. His parents mustn't know the truth about them, so he needs to buy a new one for them. His parents might visit his condo unit anytime, and he doesn't want to see them there. He explained the reason why he bought a new condominium for the two women. Casey and Cora understand him. They didn't even complain. "This will be your new condominium I bought," Niccolo announced as they entered the new condo unit he bought for the two women. Casey and Cora exchanged their looks. "Do you like it, huh?" He asked them. Casey is the one who answer his question if they liked it or not."Of course, yes. We like it, Niccolo. We're not choosing what kind of condo unit it is, but the most important to us is to have a place where we can stay and sleep during night time. Again, thank you for this..." Casey answered him. Niccolo licked his lips and nods obediently. "Everything is alright. You can stay he
"Why do you want to know my feelings, huh? I can't understand you, Cora. Why do you want to know about it? Is there something wrong with it?" Casey protested to her friend. Cora licked her lips slowly and looked at her seriously. "Haven't you convinced of what I told you, huh?" She added. "I don't believe you, Casey! You're hiding something. You're not telling your real feelings for him?" Cora asked her. "What do you want to hear from me, huh? I didn't miss him and that's the truth. Is it hard for you to believe my answers, huh?" Casey replied. She misses him, but she's afraid to tell the truth to her friend. She can't stop herself from thinking about him. She wants to see him. She wanted to know where he is tonight. Maybe she's with Kira, the woman he loves. "Say what you want to say, but I believe you're not telling the truth to me. You're hiding something. Maybe you're hiding your feelings for him, Casey. I can see it in your eyes. You shouldn't deny it to me. I'm your friend, Ca
Casey and Niccolo talked privately after eating their food. "Why do you want to talk with me, Niccolo?" Casey asked him, she's seriously staring at his eyes. He rolled his eyes and smiled at her slowly."My parents are inviting you tonight to have a dinner with us in our mansion," he announced to her. "Is that okay with you, Casey? I think we'll talk about the wedding later on when we're there in our mansion."Casey licked her lips and nods obediently."There's no problem with me, Niccolo. I'll go with you tonight," she said, agreeing with him to be with him tonight for the dinner with his parents. "What are the decisions of your parents, huh? Is it final, huh?" Casey asked him. "The decisions of my parents didn't change even from the start, Casey..." He announced. "Meaning to say we'll marry each other soon, huh?" She asked intently. He nods again."Yes, Casey..." he said weakly. "My parents wanted me to marry you soon. I tried to refuse and convinced them
Casey waits for him to speak, but he didn't. Helena is waiting to answer her question. She needs to answer his mom. Niccolo is quiet and waiting for her to speak, but she doesn't even know what to say to his mom. She's secretly loving him, but he wasn't in love with her. She sighed deeply before she opens her mouth to speak to her. "You wanted me to marry your son because I was his girlfriend. I wasn't ready to marry him, but I can see in his eyes the love that he feels for me. He loves me so much and I can't see any problem with him," Casey said slowly. "He's a good man." Helena smiled at her."What do you mean by that, Casey? Are you willing to be his wife, huh? Do you want to marry him and build your own family?" Helena asked her. Casey bit her lower lip and looked at his mom's seriously. Her hands are shaking nervously. "Yes," she said. "I'll marry your son, Mrs. Marquez. I'll marry him because I love him." Casey looked at his eyes with full of sorrow as he he
"We'll marry each other next month," Casey told her friend Cora the next day when they're eating their breakfast. Cora wasn't surprised to hear it from her. She rolled her eyes and speaks, "And then what will happen next?" Cora asked her. "What did his parents say to you last night, huh?" Casey bit her lips and sighed deeply. She lifted her head and faced her friend again. She told everything about what happened last night. "And now you know what his parents wanted us to do. We'll marry each other next month. But before that, we'll have a party..." she announced. "W-what? You'll have a party, huh? What kind of party is that? Birthday party?! Children's party? I'm sorry..." Cora asked. "It wasn't a birthday party, Cora. And also it wasn't at a children's party. What comes to your mind and you mentioned a children's party? We're not children," Casey laughed at her friend. Cora laughed too. "I'm sorry I mentioned it," she apologized, but still laughing."We'll have a
"Did you tell your friend about our wedding soon, huh? What did she say to you?" Niccolo asked her while they're sitting on the couch. Cora wasn't there. She went outside to buy something. Casey took a sip of a mango juice before she answer his questions. She lifted her head and faced him properly."Yes, I told everything to my friend. She knows our wedding soon and she wasn't surprised when she heard it. She's expecting from it, Niccolo," Casey answered. He shook his head and bit his lower lip."Good. I thought you didn't tell your friend about it," he said, fixing his messy hair, but he looks more handsome when his hair is messy. She smells his perfume again and it always reminds him every time she smells it. "Why would I not tell my friend about it, huh? She knows everything about me, Niccolo. And I can't hide anything from her since the first day we had met in the streets before. But I just want to ask you something," she said."What is it?""She heard that
"If I didn't save you that time, what will happen to you?" Niccolo asked her wife as they lay down in their soft and comfy bed. It's twelve midnight, but they are still awake. Casey looked at her husband's eyes and smiled. She shrugs her shoulders and said, "I don't know what will happen to me that time. Thank God because you saved me from being hopeless. You saved me, Mr. Billionaire. My husband saved me and I was so thankful for that."Niccolo stroke her hair and sighed deeply before he speaks to his wife."I saved you because that's the only way for you to be mine. If I didn't save you, do you think you'll be here in my arms, huh? Do you think you would be my wife? Before we got here, we faced a lot of problems and trials. But in the end, we ended up together. You loved me and you didn't forget me easily because I was important to you. And after I was betrayed and cheated on by the woman I trusted, I realized she's not the perfect woman for me. The perfect woman for me is no other t
Casey and her boyfriend Niccolo went to the province where she lives for so many years. She wanted to visit her mother's tomb. She'll introduce her boyfriend to her beloved mother. They bought flowers and lit candles as they arrived at the cemetery. Niccolo could see the name of her mother engraved on the tomb."Mama, I'm visiting you again. I know you're happy to see me again visiting you. But this time, I want to introduce to you my boyfriend. His name is Niccolo Marquez," Casey speaks in front of her mother's tomb. They're both holding their hands.Niccolo let out a deep breath before he speaks to her mother's tomb. He was nervous, but he should speak to the mother of the woman he loves. He should give respect for her even though she's dead and can't bring back to life again."If you're listening to us, I just want to say thank you for raising your daughter very well. She's a strong woman and I couldn't find someone like her again. She's the only one who could be your daughter no m
"Are you ready to announce that we're in a relationship now?" Niccolo asked her as they come out of his room. They're both holding their hands. Casey shook her head and smiled at him."Yes," she said. "I'm ready, but I'm nervous.""Huh? Why are you getting nervous, huh? They would understand everything about us. You have nothing to worry. Everything is fine. My parents would be happy to know about us, baby," Niccolo explained to her."If that's what you want, I won't oppose," she said. Casey took a very deep breath and she felt his lips on her mouth."You're mine now, baby..." He mumbled as he caresses her cheeks. "I love you, baby."When they got to the mansion's garden, Cora asked them abruptly. She's been looking for her friend for almost an hour, but she couldn't find her."Where did you go, huh? I've been looking for you for an hour, but I couldn't find you. Why are you together, huh? I want you to tell me the truth, Casey. Are you—''"Yes, Cora. We're in a relationship now. Nicc
"What are you doing?!" Casey asked him huskily. Both her knees trembled with excitement. She knows what will happen to them inside his room. She could feel his affection for her. Niccolo gave her a sweet smile on his face and cupped her cheeks slowly. His eyes are filled with desire for her. Her heart didn't stop beating so fast as she looked at his handsome face. "I want to show you how much I love you, Casey. I'm not only kissing you to show my love, but I want to be with you tonight," he said slowly. "I know you want me too."She didn't open her mouth to speak, instead she let him do what he really wants with her body. She likes to be touched by him. It's been a long time since she felt his body. She wants to feel his heat too.Niccolo kissed her lips again. Desire and affection were written all over his face. He wanted to feel their bodies both connected with each other. He quickly took off her clothes and slowly massaging her breasts. Casey didn't protest to him, instead she he
"Where have you been?" Casey asked him as she sees him. She can't take her eyes off him. Cora was silently listening to them. Niccolo took a very deep breath and bit his lips before he answers her question."It's not really important for you to know where I came from, Casey. I'm happy you're here. Where's your dad? Did you introduce him to my parents, huh?" He said seriously. Casey licked her lips and nods slowly. "Yes, Niccolo. I introduced my dad to your parents. They're both happy to meet my dad," she said. "But aren't you with someone tonight? I thought you were with someone." He met her eyes."I'm alone tonight, Casey." Niccolo fixed his hair and sighed deeply."Are you sure that you're not with someone, huh? Where are your friends? Where's the woman you loved? I was expecting for you to—" "What?! What do you expect, Casey?" Niccolo blurted out. "Can you please tell what you expect from me tonight? I want to know.""Never mind about it," she said slowly. Niccolo quickly grabbe
Niccolo is about to leave the house, but he sees the maid holding a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Casey. His eyes got bigger and grimaced bitterly. He quickly opened his mouth to speak to him."Who gave you that bouquet of flowers, huh?" Niccolo asked her abruptly. "I never knew there's someone giving you a bouquet of flowers." Casey looked at him seriously. "Why are you asking, huh?" Casey asked him. "I thought you're leaving now."Niccolo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want to know, Casey. Who gave that bouquet of flowers, huh?" He answered.Casey let out a deep breath before answering to him. Niccolo couldn't wait to hear her answer. "Michael gave this bouquet of flowers to me," she announced to him. His eyes got bigger again. "W-what?! Are you sure, huh?!" Niccolo asked her seriously. She shook her head and bit her lower lip."Yes. Can't you see his name on the card?" Casey said, showing the small card with a short message on it. His
Michael and Casey went to the mall the next day. Casey doesn't want to be with him, but she had no choice. She doesn't want to disappoint her dad, so she agreed with him. They ate lunch together. They watched movies at the cinema. They're getting to know each other. "Did you enjoy the day?" Michael asked her as they entered his car. The time is seven o'clock in the evening. Casey was tired the whole day. She shook her head and licked her lips before she speaks to him."Yes, I enjoyed the day with you, Michael. How about you? Did you enjoy the whole day having fun, huh?" She said, smiling. Casey appreciates him. Michael is so caring man. She could feel in his eyes that he has a feeling for her. He gave her a wide smile and shakes his head. "Yes, of course. I enjoyed the whole day with you, Casey. Do you want to have fun with me again, huh?" Michael said happily. She shrugs her shoulders."Well, it depends on the situation, Michael. If I wasn't busy with my studies, we can have fun aga
"Oh, what's happening to you? Why are you crying, huh?" Cora asked her when she sees her friend crying in their bedroom.She quickly wipes her tears, but her friend Cora saw her already. She sits properly and looked at her seriously. But her eyes were in sadness. Cora could feel it."Why are you crying? Do you have a problem?" She repeated.Casey took a very deep breath before answering her friend Cora."Niccolo came here," she said huskily.Cora's eyes got bigger as she heard her answer. "Oh, really? He came here, huh?"She shook her head slowly. "Yes, Cora. He came here," she confirmed. "He came here because he asked for my forgiveness. I don't know if he apologized to my dad."Cora rolls her eyes and took a very deep breath. "Did you forgive him, huh?" Cora replied.She shook her head slowly. "Yes, I forgave him.""Then why are you crying, huh?" Cora asked her. "Does it hurt you? You regret forgiving him?""No! I had no regrets at all,
Two months later...Casey heard someone knocking on their door. She was alone in their bedroom because her friend went outside. She quickly stood up and opened it. Julie knocks on the door of their bedroom. She's the maid of their house. She gave her a quick smile and greeted her. "Sir Juan Miguel wants you to see him downstairs," Julie said slowly. She rolled her eyes. "Why?" Casey replied. Julie shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know, ma'am. But he's talking to someone downstairs. He has a visitor." She replied."What?! He has a visitor, huh? Who is his visitor? Did my dad tell you the name of his visitor?" Casey asked her. She had no idea who's the visitor of her dad this afternoon. "Sir Juan Miguel didn't tell me the name of his visitor, but he is a guy. He's hot and handsome. Your dad told me to call you and bring you downstairs. Maybe he has something important to tell. Ma'am, are you busy? If you don't want to go downstairs, I'll tell your dad so that he'll know that you're bus
