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... I don't know what is going on but one thing is for sure. I couldn't move my limbs and my muscles were stiff. I could hear voices and movements around me but couldn't recognize them. Where I am? Why is it dark? These are the questions that keep on popping my mind wildly. I tried to wriggle but I couldn't making me frustrated. I am going to meet the lawyer today to find out who was the person behind everything. I need to be free of this agony and pain.While struggling to see the light I'm unaware of what is happening outside my room. I heard the door open and her words mark my heart."Better call your ancestors for help if Danny will still be unconscious." She emphasized. I frowned repeating her words. Unconscious? Is it me but why? Just when I am struggling to find answers that woman stands beside me and grabs my hand. Suddenly I felt a droplet landing on my hands. Is she crying? I ask again."Danny, please wake up. I know you hate me and I'm sorry." She voiced out sque
Enrico Pov...I was jealous and hopelessly dejected when I heard the name, Kenneth. It's been years since we parted with her for some misunderstanding, of course, a lot of things already happened to her if she really decided to start over.My jealousy is beyond imagination. Never been in love like this before and chasing a woman whom I just met and fucked. The biggest picture is we have a child together and who knows not just one but two. Now, I wanted to strangle Diana for causing misunderstanding and rift between us.Losing the moment to be a father to my children and be a husband to the woman I dearly love is frustrating enough to kill. Grateful she was beside me to calm my urge to kill and find that woman."Enrico, that's enough. Your kids want to see you now and I'm sorry. I will never stop saying sorry because I am." She insisted holding my arms. Her touch is slowly calming me thinking rationally."Kendra!" I sighed deflated. If she's sorry then I am more sorry for not being the
Evelyn Pov...Things keep on piling up inevitably and uncontrollably. Suddenly my life becomes a masterpiece.Reality is chasing my family. Enrico and I were on a depth-of-life construction. We are both fixing a hole caused by the same person who once wanted to enter our lives.I don't believe it's a coincidence or an accident. Why of all the people will be Danny and Diana? Only Diana can give us the answer we are seeking but she is damn selfish and cunning telling a lie we should believe. If we don't know her well we're gonna be fooled again but we weren't.I look at Jane pathetically sorry. She is the person who is mostly caught in between the rivers. Antonio is willing to cover up everything for Diana. We are unaware that there's much more on covering her that will be unveiled soon and it will terrorize friendship, trust, and business.Life is too short and unpredictable. We don't need to have them in our lives but fate is cruel letting us meet in the beginning, middle, and for sur
Sharon Pov...While I'm enjoying my life full of butterflies and a bed of roses unaware my friend is having a seizure of unexpected truth.Henry is rushing things as he doesn't want us to live under one roof without papers for a long time.The wedding was pushed earlier than we planned and I don't have any complaints about that. I wanted to be with him and start our family. It's really true that in a group of friends, not everyone has a bed of roses. There is always one or two person who is suffering beyond your expectations and we are not different from them. Danny and Kendra are facing this horror every day but manage to cover it. I was already in the office on my last day to work and concentrate on our wedding when I heard unexpected news. "Did you know that Danny had an accident and is still in the hospital?" They gossip while using the comfort room. "Not much of it but I saw an article about Mam Kendra walking out of the hotel room naked!" The other woman blasted. I almost ch
Enrico Pov...My hands started to sweat profusely while nearing Kendra's house and it was my first time coming here. The place is majestically beautiful. She would probably leave in this place as it's breathtaking.I don't know if my daughter will be pleased to see me or if will she question my absence in her life knowing she's a smart kid and I am not ready for that yet. I'm still overwhelmed by the truth I found out. It's just that my love for Kendra is greater than my anger, that I couldn't get mad or question her much.Thinking about what I missed makes me heartbroken. The sadness and worries mixed up suffocating me. The only thing left is to cry and it's embarrassing for someone like me as well-known for being a strict and dangerous man. I keep on drinking my water and looking outside to distract myself. Kendra grabs my hand and squeezes."Enrico you are bigger than them!" She teases winking at me. That's a different story. I am maybe bigger but my absence is bigger than my ego.
Evelyn Pov...Sometimes what we thought wasn't always what it seemed. Didn't expect things to happen like this when I rushed to come here just to see him. Apparently, I'm expecting it will go as I planned but expect the unexpected. For two years away from him I successfully reap what I sow. I can be lined up with my brother being the young successful businessman but all my fortune and success were nothing as the family I dream of was set aside. Having a son who was kept in the dark for a long time to avoid criticism. I don't know if Danny would accept the truth as he refuses to be intimate with me. I'm the only one eager to have him on top of me and that is the price, my son.Even though he wouldn't accept him, my son is the most beautiful thing that happened to me. He was the reason I became who I am. I want to prove to people soon that being a single mom isn't a hindrance to becoming successful. I sighed dejected looking at him peacefully asleep. Seeing him without any recollectio
Enrico Pov...I was speechless standing in the middle of their house. All eyes are on me, especially my lovely daughter.We already met but I didn't recognize she was mine! The little girl looks at me cautiously. She's really my daughter, before I met Kendra I always scanned people cautiously. Kendra is the opposite she immediately trusts people around her and she's the reason I break all the rules I have in my life."Hi!" She greeted standing in front of me with a few steps space. Kendra was standing not far away from us."Hi!" I replied meeting her stern gaze. Lovely! I think she's a mini-me and could manage the business!"You look fine. Does your head hurt?" She asks innocently but her eyes flicker with worries. I can't believe that insane one night gave me an adorable smart kid.I smiled before responding, "Not so much since mommy brought me to the hospital. If mommy didn't, I may not be here standing in front of you." I replied, Kendra was speechless mouth agape looking at us. I

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
