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 themCasey 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
Casey starts to think where she could find someone who'll pretend as her father. Three days had passed, but they couldn't find anyone. Cora is helping them, too."Do you think we can find someone who can help us, huh? It's been three days, but we can't still find who'll pretend as my father, Niccolo," Casey told him. They're in the coffee shop waiting for their orders. Cora is with them too. He sighed deeply first before he speaks to her."We need to be positive. We need to think we could find someone who would agree to be your father, Casey. We still have four days," Niccolo said seriously. "I know. But what will happen if we didn't find someone who can help us with this problem? What do we need to do, huh? Are we going to make an excuse for your parents, huh?" Casey replied. "We'll make an excuse to my parents for sure, Casey. But we still have four days to find someone who can help us, so we need to find someone before it's too late for us to find him," Niccolo
"I have to go now. I only have twenty minutes to drive going to our mansion," Niccolo grumbled. He stood up and fixed his hair. He's facing the two women who's watching him. "See you tomorrow morning!" "See you tomorrow morning, Niccolo. Drive safely," Cora said, giving him a wide smile on her face. Niccolo nods and smiles at her, too. "Thank you so much, Cora. Goodbye to you," he said."You're always welcome, Niccolo," she said. "Goodbye too." Niccolo nodded again.Casey decided to accompany him at the parking area. They're both silent inside the elevator. No one is in the elevator as they entered it. They owned the elevator for a few minutes before they come out into the lobby. She needs to say something to him. As he opens the door of his car, she clears her throat and speak very quickly to him. "I have to tell you something, Niccolo. Can we just talk for a couple of minutes before leaving this place, can't you? It's important Niccolo," she said. Her voice
"We'll not continue finding someone who can possibly help us with this problem tomorrow, Cora," Casey announced to her friend as she entered the condo unit. Niccolo had left already. Cora was surprised to hear it coming from her. She doesn't even know if she's making fun or what. Cora opened her mouth immediately."Huh? Are you sure? Aren't you kidding me, huh?" Cora asked her friend Casey. She licked her lips and sighed deeply before she answer her."I'm not kidding you, Cora. We'll not continue looking for someone who can help us starting tomorrow," she confirmed."Why is that? Did you find someone who can help us, huh? Or you decided to stop it because it'll be hard for us to find someone? What's the reason, Casey? I want to hear it," Cora asked her again. She was confused about her announcement.She nods slowly and speaks to her friend. "Yes, Cora..." she said weakly. "There's someone I knew that can be possibly help us with this problem. I need to talk to him to
Niccolo arrived at his other condo unit before seven o'clock in the morning. Casey and Cora are eating their breakfast. "Did you eat your breakfast before you go here?" Casey asked him. She stopped eating. Niccolo licked his lips and nods obediently."Yes, Casey. I ate my breakfast before I decided to come here this morning. I thought you're done eating your breakfast," Niccolo replied. She rolled her eyes."I'm sorry, Niccolo," she apologized. "It's already six o'clock this morning when we woke up. And we hurriedly cooked for our breakfast. I'm sorry..." Niccolo gasped."It's okay, Casey. Don't apologize. I'll wait for you to finish eating your breakfast. When you're ready, we can go now to the place where we'll meet him today. Take your time. I'll just sit here on the couch and read some magazines," he said, giving him a smile on his lips. "Thank you so much, Niccolo," she said. She smiled too. "You're always welcome, Casey. Take your time." She nods and cont
Antonio didn't speak first. Maybe he's thinking about it. Niccolo is the one who speaks next to her. He explained too. "We need you, Sir Antonio. In exchange for me to help her, she agreed to pretend as my girlfriend. We both had an agreement. When she agreed with me, I started to help her. I brought her to my condo unit and she stayed there until now. I bought a new one, and she's staying there with her friend who's a beggar before. She experienced to sleep in the park. My parents are keeping on pressuring me to introduce my girlfriend to them, but the woman I love wasn't yet ready to be my girlfriend. I want my parents to stop, so I decided to find someone who can help me. Casey came into my life and she needs me too. We need each other, so we're helping each other until now. My parents believed that we're lovers, but they didn't know the truth—we're not lovers. I thought they would stop pressuring me, but I was wrong. They wanted me to marry her, Sir Antonio. I can't refuse to my
"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
