She got a call from her brother right away. Joshua wanted to be sure that she did work for Sean's company. She stated that she had just started working there because a vacancy had opened. She made no further comments. She anticipated that Joshua would learn from Dino right away. As Joshua told her, Dino started questioning her brother about her. They conversed for about an hour. She was about to hang up the phone when Joshua stopped her. He continued cautiously, "By the way, sister... I-I gave Dino your new number." She inhaled deeply. She doesn't want Dino to have her number because she knows his intentions to try to win her back. When she remained silent, Joshua reluctantly tacked on, "Y-Yaz."She breathed in deeply again. "Okay, there's nothing I can do now that you've already given it to him." Dino was close to her brother, so she knows that Josh was impacted by what transpired between her and Dino. "Is there no hope of you two getting back together?" Joshua asked. She was co
SEAN'S POV He doesn't know what to do with Yazmin. He reasoned that by sending her flowers every day, he might express his feelings more effectively. Yet she continued to ignore him. She constantly rushed, so she couldn't be with him going to the office and back. It's amusing how a womanizer like him struggles to pursue the woman he wants. It sucks to admit it, but he has no real idea how to court a woman. He's used to immediately starting a conversation with any lady he likes by flirting instantly, and it never caused him any trouble previously. Those women were so eager to return the flirtation. He wanted to lose his mind. He used seduction with her since he couldn't say directly what he wanted to tell her, but it didn't seem to be effective. It seems to have gotten even worse because Yazmin feels that he merely wants her body and is feeling pure lust. While he works out how to court her without giving her a chance to say no, he will first give her some space. Ironically, despite
Sean wiped the tears from her face. Still unable to believe it, she turned to face him.Is this a dream? Her cheeks were calling out for a pinch. She felt Sean gently squeeze one of her cheeks before she could do that. He continued to stare at her, and she could see the unusual emotion vividly in his eyes.He even turned at her parents, who were staring at them as if they were also floating, saying, "We have an audience, sweetie, as much as I want to stare at you forever." He made a quiet laugh.He grabbed one of her hands and said, "I need to introduce myself to them formally, wifey." So they went to approach her parents together.The serving crew remained quiet in the back as though they were witnessing a movie production. In front of her parents, they came to a stop. Her father helped her mother get up after getting up right away. She had just witnessed Sean shake their hands in greeting. Sean received a shoulder pat from her father as he became emotional again."I understood why m
For a week, neither she nor Sean went to the office. It appeared as they had only recently returned from their honeymoon as a married couple. She still finds it hard to believe that they already consider themselves a married couple in real life after confessing their feelings for each other.Along with her parents, they traveled to their province. She and Sean spent two days at their home. While they were there, she showed him all the important landmarks in her hometown.When they left their province, she thought they were returning to Sean's home. They simply traveled right to Palawan and remained there for an additional three days.Sean switched off his phone so he wouldn't get a call regarding work. The days they spent together, during which they didn't think about work or anything else, made her very happy. He never stopped expressing his love for her. She didn't believe she would grow tired of hearing him repeat those words to her.After a week of vacation, Sean finally let her s
SEAN'S POVIn just a few days since he had last seen Bianca, she had lost a significant amount of weight. Before they went to church, he asked his friend to eat, but she refused.He frequently texts Yazmin to let her know where he and Bianca are. He didn't want her to have any doubts at all. They were directed by Bianca to a location with a view of the city after leaving the church. He granted her wish. He was aware of her sadness over the passing of the person who had taken on the role of her parent. The death of Bianca's aunt also upset him because he used to often stay at their place when he didn't want to go home before, when they were younger.Bianca spent a considerable amount of time silently gazing off into the horizon. Later, she put her head on his shoulder. He instantly became stiff. Bianca used to do that, but things have changed. Yazmin was always on his mind. He still feels guilty, even knowing that his wife won't see them. He simply shrugged off the emotion and allowed
While they waited outside the emergency room, Sean had been restless. He moves in circles. Even when the door opened, they would both glance at it. Her husband is not to be blamed. His friend is in danger. At that moment, she wanted to feel sympathy for him since she could see the pain and a trace of guilt on Sean's face. She doesn't know why she also sees guilt in him.She was about to get up and go talk to him when the doctor eventually emerged. Sean went to the doctor right away."Her condition is stable, but we need to observe first since her legs were severely crushed."It's fortunate that we don't need to have her limbs amputated. She's still unconscious, though," the doctor explained in great detail, explaining that the patient will awaken the following day.Sean thanked the doctor and turned to face her as they both heaved a sigh of relief that Bianca was safe."Go home now. I'll stay here.""I'll stay here with you." She offered."You need to rest," he said as he squeezed her
Sean hastily left her side when the nurse announced that she had woken up. She wasn't sure if he had fully forgotten she was there. She did nothing but stare at the food in the paper bag she was carrying. Even though she didn't get much sleep, she got up early to make him breakfast.She walked slowly as she entered the room where Bianca was. She witnessed Bianca sobbing as she feared never being able to walk again. She was able to clearly see Sean's reaction. He might have done so had he been able to absorb Bianca's anguish into himself.She could relate to Sean because she could feel his feelings. She is aware of the circumstances, thus she is not jealous. Even she was moved by Bianca's cries of desperation.She saw Lance enter the room. He is currently standing by Bianca's side with Sean. Despite everything, Bianca was still very lucky because there were two men who were sure to never leave her, no matter what.She fixed her gaze on Lance's face. It's also clear that he loves and ca
As she stood in front of Sean's condo, her heart was racing. She felt as though she was witnessing the same event as when she went to Dino's rented home and saw him in a scandalous scene with Mhariel.She inhaled deeply before turning the key to open the door. She opened it with caution. She noticed Sean's back on the sofa right away. When it was established that Bianca was present, she nearly exhaled. She is in a wheelchair. No one even sensed her presence as she entered quietly."It's good that you agreed to go to the U.S." She even heard Sean say that. Bianca smiled at him and then pinched Sean's cheek."Because of how persistent you were!" Compared to the previous time she saw Bianca in the hospital, she seemed more radiant and energetic. The two laughed. Bianca's expression abruptly turned serious."Sean, I'm grateful. Thank you for staying with me." Bianca even touched her husband's face.She tightened her grip on the key she was holding when she saw Bianca slowly bring her face
Even though their hearts already knew that Baby Alyanah was their child, they still needed to have a DNA test done to comply with protocol. Once it was proven that the baby was indeed their child, they could formally file charges against those responsible at St. Therese Maternity Clinic, including Latonia, Patrick, and the mother-daughter pair of Manang Minda and Divina. Both of them were nervous as they looked at the test results. Their eyes widened in disbelief when they saw the confirmation that Baby Alyanah was truly theirs. Sean embraced her tightly, and a mix of emotions overwhelmed them at that moment. Visitors flocked to their home when they heard the news that their real child was alive. Their parents, siblings, and even their relatives brought their families to their home. They held a baptism for Baby Alyanah alongside a welcome and thanksgiving party for her. Even the young woman who was the biological mother of the deceased baby attended as a guest. They rep
Because crying doesn't help, even though she was scared, she tried to stay calm. She looked out the window and watched the scenery as they passed by.Even the smallest details, she crammed into her mind, hoping they'd be useful if she ever got the chance to escape the man.Her gaze shifted back to the floor of the man’s car. She suddenly felt a surge of hope when she saw something that could help her if he tried to harm her.They had passed mostly wooded areas, and it was still very dark.She noticed Patrick glancing at her now and then."If you agree, we can run away. You can forget about your husband and kids. We can start our own family somewhere no one knows us. Where do you want? London? Australia?"She looked at him in disbelief. He must truly be insane.Instead of rejecting him, she just played along. It’s hard to anger people who seem to have mental problems."What about your job? What about Latonia?" She surprised herself by saying this calmly.She saw the excitement on his f
"Miss, if you don't give me the details of the woman who gave birth before me that night, you might get involved in the case even though you have nothing to do with it," she threatened the receptionist at St. Therese Maternity Clinic.She didn't contact Patrick anymore, especially when she saw that he was the one who spilled water with oil on the floor. She was afraid to confront him, not knowing what could happen to her if he found out that she knew.She went to the police and submitted the evidence she had about the man. He was already listed in the blotter at the station, and she was just waiting for instructions on the next steps.She wanted to inform Sean so that he could accompany her. She knew he would get angry once he found out. He might even go after the man, which was another thing she was afraid of.When she got home, she would tell her husband everything she had discovered and show him the video of the incident at Rajah Hotel.She really needed to know who the woman was w
His forehead furrowed as he read the information provided by the investigator about Patrick de Asis. He already felt a strong aversion toward him when he saw him again with Yazmin. However, it wasn't just jealousy that drove him to have the man investigated. Apparently, Patrick was doing quite well in life. In fact, he was a business partner in one of Latonia's father's enterprises. His brows furrowed even deeper. Could the two of them know each other? What a small world! But why did they seem like strangers when they were in the clinic together? He shrugged. Maybe it was only Latonia's father and Patrick who were acquainted. He shook his head as he discovered that Patrick had three settled cases. He had been reported by three women for stalking them. He knew it! There was something off about the man, especially the way he looked at Yazmin. Based on the report, the man had an obsession with the women he fancied. He wouldn't stop to the point of stalking them, which ex
She slammed the cards down on the table in frustration. "Damn it!" Minda exclaimed angrily. It seemed like she had only won once that day. Bad luck was following her around. Suddenly, the baby lying on her lap, held with just one hand, let out a piercing cry. The sound grated on her nerves. If she weren’t earning money because of this child, she would have gotten rid of it long ago. Besides, she was waiting for the one million pesos payment from Miss Beautiful. Finally, she could get out of this babysitting job. She had never dreamed of taking care of a child at her age. In fact, she had once persuaded Divina to abort her first pregnancy. She almost jumped when the baby's cries grew louder. "Hey, Minda! Feed your grandchild already. It looks starving!" yelled a driver, annoyed by the noise. She was still at the jeepney stop. Even though she wasn’t begging anymore—thanks to the generous woman interested in the baby—she still hung around there. Why? Because she had be
She stayed in that dark corner while holding the baby.She didn’t know what to do with it. It was all Patrick’s fault—letting the baby live.She only used the man when she noticed how much he idolized her, practically worshiping the ground she walked on.It all started with a dummy account. She couldn’t move on after learning that Sean’s employee, whom she thought was an ordinary staff member, was actually his wife.Her father had been hoping Sean would end up with her. When she and Sean were together, everything seemed fine. Even though she heard rumors of him flirting with others, she didn’t mind much.After all, they played the same game. She didn’t want to be tied to one person either. She had her fair share of flings while in a relationship with Sean.But over time, she began to hope that he would take her seriously. She stopped entertaining other men and acted like the perfect, loyal girlfriend.She thought everything would fall into place, but then she started noticing how clos
He glanced down at the woman who was occupied with bringing him joy. The woman's head was bouncing up and down on his two hands as she sucked his manhood. Her hot mouth and moist tongue made him bite his lip hard. "Ahhh! Suck it! Hmmmph! Ahhrghh!" he said. His hardness was being stroked by her hands as well. He was also adjusting it there when he sensed that she was going to eat away at his entire manhood. She abruptly shifted from her spot in the center of his thighs. Since she wasn't wearing a bra, she taunts him with her attractive big breasts.Her stiff, hard nipples were sticking out, and it was clear that she had not worn a bra when she first came. He had already appreciated that about her. When he was with her, he was always horny. Since the lady has a reason, it appears that her goal is to constantly turn him on.He had countless fantasies about her gorgeous body, but he never imagined that he would actually taste it. He was aware that his appearance paled in
The baby's cry was loud. The sound of its wailing stirred her consciousness. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids."The baby's alive!" A woman's voice exclaimed.Hearing this, she summoned all her strength to open her eyes, even if just halfway. Though her vision was blurred, she saw a woman in white holding a crying baby.She smiled faintly.My baby... she thought.She attempted to lift her hand, but it was too heavy to move. Her gaze fell on the baby's tiny foot. Before losing consciousness again, she saw, albeit faintly, the image of a brown mark on the baby's sole.She smiled once more before succumbing to sleep.She suddenly woke up, eyes wide open. She bolted upright, despite Sean's arms still wrapped around her. Pulling the blanket off her husband's body, she rushed to check his sole.There it was! She saw the small heart-shaped mark on the sole of his foot. Her fingers traced the mark, and tears began to fall. In her dream, she had seen the same mark on the sole of their ch
Patrick picked her up in front of a convenience store. He said they were going to meet the woman who had also given birth at St. Therese Clinic the same day she was taken there.Sitting in Patrick's car, she was overly self-conscious as she adjusted the scarf around her neck. She wanted to be annoyed at Sean, but she couldn’t help smiling whenever she remembered his words."You're still mine..."That line kept echoing in her ears. Miraculously, even though she had left him alone with Latonia, she didn’t feel a shred of worry. She was certain Sean wouldn’t give in to his ex’s flirtations.Were all her doubts about her husband back then merely a result of her pregnancy? Or perhaps they stemmed from her insecurities about her body during that time, making her feel Sean might look at someone else. Adding to it was the manipulation from a dummy account that eventually led her to deactivate her social media account after giving birth. She wanted peace of mind and even changed her number to
