Mike Pov...I couldn't stop Enrico when he said he needed to fly to New York immediately. After everything that happened here, he managed to stay calm and the price was great. Hoping she will find what he is wishing for.Diana left a year ago with Antonio and we didn't hear anything from him. Enrico lived quietly with that year she was gone while still not giving up looking for Kendra.Every time Enrico left I was in turmoil busy dealing with his supposed work. He always leaves me with a huge workload and difficult clients to handle. I called him as I couldn't settle with Mr. Santebanez."Mike not now!" His response answering my call. What the fuck!"Enrico I know what you are doing there is indispensable but Mr. Santebanez is crazier than before." I retorted at his outbursts."What?" He hissed pissed."He wanted to revise the contract and asked for an additional 15 percent of the net and another 10 percent of commission." I reported."I'm not in the mood right now. Cancel his contrac
Enrico Pov..."Mommy!" A soft and bubbly voice shrill just when the door bus opened. Kendra was taken aback surprised and couldn't know what to do while I was frozen mouth agape. Mommy?"What happened to her? Is she already fine?" Kendra asks the little girl. I watched them interact and lately to realized she was the little girl I bumped into the elevator."A guy accidentally bumped into her but he assisted us before leaving." The petite woman explained when her eyes caught me still frozen shocked at the corner."Eh, sir?" She blurted surprising Kendra."You what?" Kendra blurted stunned."Look, I didn't mean to hurt her. It was at the blind side when I bumped into her." I explained helplessly. Is this a joke? Who is she?Silence prevailed breaking our eardrum when the little girl walked towards me. "Hi, fairy." She adorably uttered.(--) I was speechless and didn't know what to say when suddenly realization hit me. I haven't met James yet and this child will not be his because I was
Evelyn Pov...T'was the busiest day when suddenly Mike asked for leave. I couldn't divide myself to juggle my business and Enrico's. Mike never asked for leave even when his brother got married. Maybe this matter is indispensable for him to ask and its immediate approval. For some sort of reason, I feel sympathetic toward him even though he is masking his emotions. He is not good in hiding but for trivial matters he is trustworthy. Enrico didn't know Mike asked for a two-week leave as he was not around as well.With Mae's help, I understood where Mike was coming from and I was flabbergasted to know it. It was damn unexpected to happen but temptations were rare to deny especially if that temptation is really unavoidable and preciously stunning. Most delve into it and realize it was a mistake when it's already too late.Only weak people can't avoid crazy temptations and I don't know if I consider myself one. Danny is one hell temptation I couldn't resist but ended up loving him and reg
Kendra Pov...Expect less! That's what I intended to do when I decided to come back but the inevitable is really unpredictable.It was my first day yet Enrico was already here knocking on my door annoyed and pissed. I prepared for this moment but not like this. My preparation didn't work as I planned.I kept my personal life private until he showed up roaring in my office. Walls have ears and mouths as they say. As expected, news spread like wildfire but t'was the opposite of the truth.When I left and hid for almost two years that included Enrico's life. Well, every woman feels what I felt. No one will pry on the person who will cause you pain in your life unless you're a damn fool and ignorant.I left knowing he was getting married to her ex-fiance whom he shared a child. Unknowingly, I was barking at the wrong tree jealous and cornered. Eve was already asleep crying thinking Enrico was dead as she saw him fainted and unconscious. I was helpless and couldn't tell her everything as
Brida Pov...When I was hired to work with Kendra I already knew that her family wasn't the same as I grown up. I keep a low profile working with her so as not to arouse suspicion. At first, I was envious of her. She has a perfect job and she is beautiful but not everyone who is beautiful and rich is perfect. They were imperfect as well. My life was perfect and dream for some but I don't have freedom. Staying and working with her keeps me free for a while and no one will know what I am up to.I love being Eve's nanny. She's adorable, smart, and a good kid. I didn't have a hard time dealing with her until I got used to doing the work of ordinary people. Every time Kendra was at work Eve behaved and eased my loneliness and longing though she had an imperfect family. That thing wasn't a hindrance for her not to be happy. Staying here taught me a lot and broadened my limitations.We never had a dull moment together and when Kendra was home she became more energetic and made the house co
Enrico Pov...I don't hate her 'coz God knows how much I love her. She's my death definitely! I'm furious because of what she did to me! She has a lot of time to tell me about Everlasting. I understand her predicament but I deserve to know when we are already a couple. My heart burst out hurt when she breaks down unmasking her boldness and fierceness to admit her fault. I wanted to hug her but my doubts were not leaving me. I felt there was more to it to tell me. When she told everything she heard that night. I wanted to get mad at her for being inconsiderate and selfish for not asking me but then it washed away when she said she was back then pregnant and very sensitive due to morning sickness and others to add when a pregnant woman was. I miss another chance to take care of her!"I'm sorry babe but only a woman who is having a conception could understand that!" She mumbled wiping her tears."Please don't ever do that again Kendra! You have to talk to me first before leaving. I wo
Evelyn Pov...Jane visited me again the next day as I stayed at the hospital. Danny's operation was successful but she is still unconscious. I forgot about the person who caused all of this! I prioritize his safety. For now, I wanted him to wake up and make sure the operation was really successful. Part of my heart is anxious about his accident and I can't pinpoint exactly what!As we keep on talking about life, she accidentally spills the beans that I am not aware of! I'm shocked couldn't process it immediately. I never expected a strong man like Danny had experience tragedy in his life and worse he is living with it silently and I wasn't there for him. I'm embarrassed that I am one of his burdens.He has reservations because of what happened! He is scared he might fall on the same faith as his brother but I am different. I love him so much! That woman who orchestrated his death isn't human! She will soon face her abyss!"Are you alright?" Jane asked as I was in deep thought since sh
Kendra Pov...Enrico makes my mind constantly shift to another dimension and always thinks the unthinkable paralyxing my thoughts and becoming ignorant. Just staring at his damn manipulative eyes everything crumbles.I was ashamed and embarrassed when I realized his charm hypnotized and manipulated me again. I'm so weak when it comes to him that even my no will become helpless yes in just an instant. I admit my love for him is bigger than my ego but I can't jeopardize the business my friend established just because I'm insanely in love. The scrutiny I will get from people when they find out I am a mistress will last longer even if I will clear my name. That's the world we are in right now. Mistakes will remain and be highlighted more than the good deeds you imposed.I was still shocked and in disbelief when he dragged me out of the hospital in a hurry, scared people would recognize him and we will be on the front page tomorrow morning. My plate is already full for another flightless

Danny Pov...He couldn't contain the happiness she felt hearing that Diana and her small family were caught in Italy before they could leave at dawn. Evelyn on the other hand don't want to let him face them alone pleading for her parents to watch their kids for a while to help him. She knows this is very important to him and will set him free as well. "Hi Diana, it's been too long!" Danny beamed entering the room. Diana didn't respond and just looked at him desolate. She knows it's already over. "You know, I wanted justice through my hand but you are damn lucky I have a family stopping me to become evil because what you did is fucking unforgivable!" Danny erupted emphasizing his words. He really wanted to strangle this bitch woman but he can only do that in his mind as he don't want to go to jail and lose the chance to raise his children. "So where's your sharp tongue now and smart mind? I don't want to waste my time with you. See you in court Diana!" She didn't respond and accep
Third Person POV...As the sun descended below the horizon at Montemayor's Manor, a palpable sense of excitement and nostalgia filled the air. Today, Senior Manolo invited his whole family to gather in his manor. "It's time to rest now, I did my part to make them settle." Senior Montemayor mumbled as everyone slowly arrived one after another. Laughter and chatter filled the living room and hallway of the house as his family members started to make this day worth it. While his children and children-in-laws enjoying this sudden reunion their children filled the hallways of the house, garden, and pool with waves of laughter vibrating around the manor. The aroma of homemade dishes wafted from the kitchen, filling their nostrils. Antonia reminded me of the days when her mother cooked her favorite food before going to school and when she invited her boyfriend to come over."Aunt Rhea, did you meet grandma?" Enrico asked."A few times and she was a great mom." She responded making Antonia
