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
Mike Pov...After what happened at Enrico's office my mind couldn't think properly and was always on haywire. I never expected the woman I love and cherish for a long time will do this to me. I'm trying to think what did I do wrong to end up like this? I'm planning to already propose to her and this is the response to my plan.I went back to work after a week's vacation and was unaware Enrico was still not in the office and Evelyn was out as well. My girlfriend denied the allegation but when I showed the photos, she was taken aback staring at the photos.At that moment I realized she was not the one. For how long she is doing this, I don't need to know. Enough is enough!I came to work as if nothing had happened. To forget the painful misfortune I had, I work hard to make myself sane. A lot of tasks were halted when I and Enrico requested leave. I forgot the new branch needs a new supervisor as the newly hired was in prison for some personal matters.After fixing Enrico's schedules I
Danny Pov...If it weren't for Evelyn I almost lost my sanity. I know it's not yet too late, but what's important I remembered everything vividly. Diana will not run away from this. Her daughter will never be the reason. Seven years was enough for her."I'm sorry Evelyn!" I muttered."Danny, it's fine! Don't think of it and don't be sorry." She implied. I'm lucky to have her but why I don't have a complete recollection of her. I just remembered our first meeting! "I'm sorry, I couldn't remember everything about us. Thank you for staying." I implied."When you remember everything I will tell you something crucial. This time is not the right time to divulge. You might forget when you remember what you forgot. But I assure you we are lovers." She enunciated. I look into her eyes holding her hands.I wanted to remember our moments taking it slowly. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her. She didn't budge opening her mouth."Did we take this step?" I asked her not to bypass her. She nod
Third Person POV...After the short misunderstanding in Kendra's house, they didn't have the chance to talk about it as the kids took all of Enrico's time. Enrico ended up sleeping in her daughter's room with baby Kenneth. They were all asleep at peace.Kendra left the house without waking up Enrico and kissing her kids. She doesn't want to interrupt the moment that the kids miss.She went to work alone and faced the consequences of her impulsive reactions. She brought her car and drove to the basement. No one saw her entering the building as she knew where they were already.

Mike Pov...Everyone is busy with their business unaware that a piece of big news will distract them differently. From New York to the Philippines. The news flew quickly like a gush of wind.While Carlo was watching the afternoon news while relaxing after an intimate meeting in his office a flash of news caught his eyes and he dropped his cup of coffee shocked staring at the television. He tried to blink many times to make sure what he was watching was a fluke but it was written clearly. On the contrary, Enrico is unaware of what Kedra did to shut off the rumors. It was the easier way. No one knew these two already knew each other and had been lovers. Time has stolen their moment but now they have it, they just need to grasp the reality and live with it.This news will both benefit the business and mostly their children who want a perfect family. It was already obvious. The first day they meet their father they can't get over it even though it is overwhelming. Even Enrico turned into
Henry Pov...I was taken aback to see the news spreading like wildfire. It just happened on the weekend and the news fired up like a celebrity life. I'm a bit confused why they are interested on her private life. Sharon likewise was surprised still hadn't talked to her yet. When I heard she was in the office but the lobby was still full I knew she used her car to come in to avoid coalition with them. Why would they be interested in her life when she is an ordinary person besides the CEO of course?The show was quite interesting in the lobby if she was a high-profile celebrity but she isn't and whoever spread that photos was someone they used to know and I was right.A big stir was unfolding in the lobby and it was distracting the business. luckily the hero comes in. A word from his mouth shut everyone off. So, the rumor he kicked off a television manager and his pals for spreading about his fiance running away was true.Though we were shocked by this revelation I was amazed at how he

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.

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
