Daniella heard him very well however she didn’t know what to tell him. She was still hurting so much that she would break down if she would open her mouth to speak. “You lied to me,” she said after a few minutes of gathering all her courage and strength. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you right away. You see, I’m waiting for the right time.” He explained but she shook her head as if she disagreed with his explanation. He should have told her everything about his first family, but he let assumed that Veronica was just his dead girlfriend. “When is the right time, Marcus?” She asked in a voice that accused him of being a liar from the start. She refused to believe that the same man was allowed to hurt for the second time. It was very insulting that she gave him the opportunity to hurt her again! Angrily, she freed herself from his tight embrace. “Tell me, was it also a lie when you said that you love me?” “I didn’t lie about my feelings for you Dani. In fact, I’m going to -”

Gerald decided to eat his breakfast ahead of Lizzy when the woman failed to show herself after seven in the morning. The food he ordered from Jollibee would be best eaten while it was still hot so he felt a little guilty after his first bite of the breakfast steak and he couldn’t take another bite without waking up the woman. Disgruntled, he walked towards her bedroom and knocked on her door. It was after several try that he discovered that the door wasn’t locked so he got inside while calling for her name. “Lizzy? Breakfast is ready, common.” He called but the woman was still lying in bed and her body was covered in a thick blanket from head to toe. He grinned that Lizzy had the common sense to cover herself or freeze from the cold with the kinky outfit she wore last night. Gerald tugged the blanket away from Lizzy to stir her from sleep, and stood frozen upon seeing her sleeping form underneath the sheet! He should have turned around and closed his eyes but his feet didn’t want

He was only gone for a few days but Daniella felt that it was like they were separated for a year or more. She wanted to see him badly but she had to wait for two more days before he would come back. From the window of her bedroom, Daniella could see Lilian and Alexander playing with their daughter. Her stepsister’s eyes beamed with happiness when she was with Alexander but Lilian continued to deny her true feelings towards the man. In fairness to Alexander, he was handsome enough to make any woman swoon with just his presence. She hoped that sooner or later, Lilian would own up to her feelings and let Alexander become part of her life once again. After she reconciled with Marcus, she wanted everyone she knew to be happy, just like her. When Marcus went back to the farm, Daniella tightened the security in their house because she was scared that someone terrible enough to hurt them would be able to gain access to their estate. No, she couldn’t risk the safety of her family, esp

On the night before his scheduled arrival, Daniella found it hard to sleep. Her heart was very excited to see him again and it was beating hard like a drum. It was almost midnight when she was forced to close her eyes and sleep. She was almost lost in oblivion when her phone rang and although she was sleepy, she still answered the call. “Yes?” “Guess who?” Her sleepiness was instantly gone and she sat upright to talk with the caller. “Where have you been? I couldn’t reach you for a few days,” she asked. Daniella was transparent and frank and those were some of the qualities Marcus adored in her. He didn’t have to guess because she would always let him know if she was happy, sad, or angry. “Can you do something for me, sweetheart?” He ordered Daniella to go to the huge acacia tree near the greenhouse to pick up something that he probably dropped in there. He thought that the woman would hesitate to leave her room because it was already in the middle of the night, but then

She didn’t bother to close the drapes in her window last night and Lilian woke up to the rays of sunlight getting into her room. It was already late and she was angry but Alexander was still lying on the sofa bed and the man looked like he was soundly sleeping. Lilian got up from her bed and went to stir Alexander from his sleep. “Hey! Why are you still sleeping when it’s already time to prepare my breakfast?” She raised her voice while kicking his legs to wake him up. Alexander woke up with a terrible headache and he couldn’t move his muscles. It was sore and he shivered in cold but Lilian forced him to open his eyes. “Good morning, beautiful.” Even when he was not feeling well, he didn’t forget to greet the woman who meant everything to him. “What’s good in the morning when I’m hungry and you’re still here?” She snapped at Alexander. With all the frustrations building up inside her, Lilian was back to being mean especially with Alexander. He had no choice but to ge

Now, get out of my sight!” He screamed at his right hand because he was pissed off! Tyler knew better when to stop and he immediately went to the door to go out.

Alicia was a sore loser and she couldn’t accept the fact that Marcus told him to stay away. For three days, she stayed inside her bedroom and contemplated committing suicide, however, she realized that killing herself wouldn’t change anything and Marcus would still be happy with Daniella! That woman! Alicia would love to ruin the other woman’s face if she was given a chance to meet with Daniella! She had the woman’s address but she couldn’t just go there and introduced herself. Marcus had warned her about causing trouble with his fiancée. Hah, fiancée? No way! She could never allow him to marry anyone…except her! She must be stupid, but what else could she do when she wanted him so much? She tried her best to lure him, but the man was old enough to know about her tricks and it frustrated her that Marcus didn’t fall with her stratagems. Alicia realized that if she wanted to focus on Marcus, she should resign from her job and go back to her family home in Beverly Hills. So,

Daniella was happy that Lilian and Alexander have reconciled their differences. It was only Paloma who wasn’t thrilled at the reunion of Vanessa’s parents and her stepmother went somewhere to relax. Lilian was worried about her mother but Daniella assured Lilian that everything would be fine, and Paloma would just return home soon. At breakfast, Ortega announced to everyone that he and Lilian, would be gone for a day or two and that Thalia should take care of Vanessa for the time being. Daniella agreed to it, and Marcus did too. The newly reconciled couple must have felt suffocated because of the agents who were on the property and they needed someplace that was quiet and romantic. Lilian and Alexander left the property around noon. “Finally, it’s just me and you,” Marcus said. “And at least twenty security personnel,” Daniella added. “I’m here now, Dani, so why do you need them to guard this place?” Marcus disliked the idea that the place was cramped with Ort

Daniella was aware that at least three of Ortega’s men were following them from a distance, but she choose to ignore the security people when they were just doing their job. Somehow, she was already used to having a shadow wherever she would go. After her three days vacation on the island, she returned home feeling refreshed and renewed. She and AJ had a blast on the island and she played with her like a kid. “Hello Simon, it’s been a while.” She greeted the youngest of Ortega’s men as if she had no idea that he was also on the island. “Hello Miss Ella, I’ll help you with your luggage.” Simon offered to take her luggage upstairs. Unknown to the woman, Marcus contacted him to watch over his family and he should report everything to him. “Thank you,” she was grateful for his help. As much as she wanted to check on her mother and report to her that they already arrived, she was tired and want to rest. Tomorrow, her life would be back to normal. Occupied with work and str

Daniella had no choice but to stop her heart from beating toward Marcus and she should focus on something else. She must let go of her feelings and move forward because letting her emotions take over would be simply dangerous! In the morning, she woke up with a bright smile on her lips and Lilian looked at her as if she has gone crazy for always smiling when she was nursing a broken heart. At the breakfast table, she informed Paloma that she would take over overseeing the resort’s construction. She took a deep breath and took the chance, to be honest with her family members about another issue and said, “Marcus and I have broken up.” “Ella, what are you talking about?” Paloma was knocked for six at Daniella’s announcement and she refused to believe it when they looked good together. “I said, he and I broke up…and this time it’s for good.” She repeated her statement and she emphasized each word so that her mother wouldn’t misunderstand it. “This time it’s for good?

Daniella bit her lip when Marcus questioned her why she came. Was he not happy to see her at all? Daniella was still seething in anger towards his employer why did he allow that horrible man to beat him in the first place? “Should I consider your question as a sign that you don’t want to see me anymore?” Daniella took offense at his tone but regardless of how he would look at her, she wouldn’t give up on him. She glared at the man who treated her like a pest when she was just being kind to help him. “It’s not what I mean, Dani. I’m just asking why you came here, and how did you know where I was. Wait, did you stalk me?” His nostrils flared and he tightened his lip as he imagined that the woman was probably stalking him. What happened to her statement that she didn’t want him anymore in her life? Marcus narrowed his eyes at Daniella while he waited for her answer. “Of course not! Why should I do that? It just happened that I come here for business and saw you today at the

Troy Ramirez was paranoid that Philip Madrigal would come to his office anytime so he always prepared himself for the old man’s arrival. He picked up the intercom and bellowed, “Is Alicia not here yet?” “She just arrived sir,” the secretary replied. He put down the receiver and waited for Alicia to come in and when he heard the door open, Troy immediately stood to meet her. “What took you so long?” he yelled at the woman for taking her time in coming to his office. Alicia raised her eyebrows at Troy and replied, “I’m not one of your employees so don’t treat me like one.” The woman was right and Troy needed to calm down or his wrecked nerves would get the worst in him and he was afraid of the outcome. “Call your boyfriend and ask him to forgive me, do it now please.” “What have you done to him and where is he?” Alicia suspected that Troy made a mistake in hurting her boyfriend and then he was scared that Marcus would retaliate. She sneered at him and asked,

Daniella didn’t expect to receive a call from Gerald, telling her that Marcus was working for a man named Troy Ramirez, Alicia’s brother. She was having her breakfast at Puso Bistro and she enjoyed their champorado and Arroz Caldo which tasted awesome. It was a buffet breakfast that she got to enjoy for free by staying at one of their suites, and although she couldn’t eat every dishes they offered, she appreciated how the manager was hands-on in checking everything that needed a refill. The hotel was recommended by one of her friends who loved their top-notch services. Arguably, the bistro has become one of her favorite restaurants in the city. Fortunately, Daniella was blessed with good luck because Troy’s office was just beside the hotel where she was staying. She could just check it out later because Daniella needed a concrete plan on how to approach Marcus without aggravating Alicia in the process. It was quarter to ten in the morning when Daniella smiled at the recep

Troy was hopping mad after reading the report about Marcus Madrigal! No wonder that the man looked familiar when he first saw him because he was the same man who took away his angel, and in the end, he had to kill that woman and her daughter to avenge his wrong feeling. He was furious that Alicia assisted his enemy in entering his territory! A few years had already passed and he could still remember the anguish on Veronica’s husband’s face as he witness how his family was killed in front of him. Over the years, it gave him satisfaction while know that the man she chose instead of him was suffering! Did Marcus find out about his involvement in that incident? But how? It was cleanly done and no evidence to point out that he was behind it. Moreover, all the men involved in that incident were already dead and he was the only one who remained to live. Still, he couldn’t be at peace unless he would send Marcus back to hell. He was enraged and Troy believed that Liza could soothe

In her boredom, Daniella developed a new habit and that was bingeing on Korean dramas. She searched online for the must-watch and soon she was lost in the world of Korean dramas where the boyfriends were all perfect and if ever there were flaws, it only make them even more attractive. For a week, she exhausted herself by staying up all night to watch her favorite shows and Lilian already scolded her for looking like a zombie every morning. “Are you going to continue being like this, Ella? You are my matron of honor, so you also have to look your best, but with your appearance now, we have to hire the best make-up artist for you to look pretty.” Lilian eyed the woman from head to toe and grimaced at how dry Daniella’s skin has become, and the dark circle around her eyes was horrible to look at. She looked tired and stressed! “It’s your time to shine on your wedding day, Lil. So, just don’t mind me, okay?” Daniella dissuaded Lilian to mind her appearance because she wasn’t rea

Every day, she had to lie to AJ about the whereabouts of her father. Philip and Paloma also wondered why it was so sudden that Marcus was summoned by his friend to assist in the farm. Just like before, she didn’t tell everyone about the real reason why Marcus was no longer in the house. She lied that Samuel Velasquez needed an extra farmhand as his supervisor had to take a few days off due to an emergency. The lie was perfectly devised and Daniella almost believed it as well. Even if Marcus was no longer in the house, Philip Madrigal has all the reasons to stay since his only daughter was getting married. Lilian was enthusiastic about the wedding and even when they hired the best wedding coordinator that they could find, Lilian insisted on incorporating her personal touch into the giveaways, so at night, she and Lilian would usually work overtime to finish the giveaways on schedule. Although it was a bother to work on super glues, she didn’t mind it all. It kept her occupied, and

Alicia’s excitement got the better of her when she immediately signed the papers without reading them first. Her signature was already on the paper before she decided to read what was written on it. Her eyes blinked several times when she finished reading it. “I’m your girlfriend but I can’t kiss you or touch you, especially in public? This is pure nonsense!” Alicia threw the signed agreement back to Marcus and cursed at the man for tricking her by writing that information in the middle. “Now that it is signed, how are we going to proceed with it?” Marcus smiled that he was able to trick Alicia into signing the agreement. It wasn’t his fault that she didn’t read what was written on it. Alicia glared at him but he chose to ignore it. “Just think of it as my retaliation for ruining my life, Alicia.” “I have no idea that you can be so cruel, Marcus,” Alicia muttered a curse, however, she thought that there must be a way of getting out of it. “How much would it cost me to break o
