2022-02-13 22:01:17Dinig ni Aaron ang mahihinang pagsinghot ni Viviane sa gilid niya habang pinagmamasdan siya nitong alisin sa desk niya ang mga personal niyang gamit. As of this morning, he’s no longer the CEO of Sandejas Shipping Lines.
When the video of him and Sam went viral, sinabihan na siya ni Diego na nagkaroon ng private meeting ang majority ng board of directors. He knew then that he had to use his back-up plan should the board will try to vote him out because he didn’t marry Kristine.
He sold all of his shares to Joshua.
When they turned 21, lahat silang magkakapatid ay nabigyan ng equal shares sa kumpanya. But when he took over SSL, ang shares ng Daddy nila ay napunta sa kanya, making him the biggest shareholder of the company and the default CEO. But when he backed out from marrying Kristine, he knew it wouldn’t be long that the board will come after his neck. That’s why he met with his brothers. He needs to make sure that

“Mommy, can I take Mama Duck and her babies with us? They are squishy. They can fit in my baby bag,” ani Charlie kay Samantha. Her daughter was holding her toys on her hands, looking at her with doe eyes, waiting for her response.She smiled softly and reached for her baby’s face. “Of course we will bring Mama Duck and her babies,” aniya.Charlie beamed at her. She gave her a hug before rushing towards her own bag and stuffed her swimming buddies inside of it. “Mommy said you all can come with. We are going to swim on our big big tub!” sabi pa nito sa mga laruan nito.Muli siyang napangiti. Charlie’s innocence warms and hurts her heart at the same time. Her daughter deserves everything that’s beautiful in this life. But sadly, she cannot even give her a complete family.She shook her head slowly, dismissing the sad thoughts slowly filling her head.

They say that once you tell the truth you will be free from something. But Samantha felt nothing but free right after she told her family and Aaron her secret.The loud silence inside the room was choking her, filling her heart with overwhelming uncertainties—with guilt so heavy for only one to bear.“What? This a*shole is the father of Charlie?” gigil na tanong ni Lucas nang makahuma sa pagkabigla sa sinabi niya. “This is the man who abandoned you and my niece?” Lucas continued in gritted teeth. She sobbed, unsure of what to say.“Lucas, I didn’t know. I was drunk that night when—““You were drunk? You took advantage of my sister?” gigil na putol ni Lucas kay Aaron. In one swift move, Lucas was already a few feet away from Aaron, ready to charge. Humakbang na rin palapit ang mga bodyguards ng kapatid, closing in on Aaron. Agad siyang nagpanic.“No, Lu

Tahimik si Samantha habang hinihintay ang sagot ng Daddy niya at ni Lucas. They were in the lanai, near the pool. Nagsisimula na ang pag-aagaw ng iba’t-ibang kulay sa langit. Sa malayo ay tanaw na rin ang paglubog ng araw.Iniwan niya si Aaron sa salas upang kausapin ang ama at kapatid niya tungkol sa pakiusap nito na makita si Charlie. She knows that at the end of the day, it would only be her decision should she want Charlie to meet Aaron as her daughter’s father. But she wants her family to understand where she’s coming from kaya siya nakikiusap ngayon sa mga ito. She already have enough trouble to last a lifetime and she doesn’t want to be at odds with her family, not right now.“Whatever you think is good for Charlie, just do that, Sam,” anang Daddy niya bago siya nilapitan at niyakap nang mahigpit.Gumanti siya ng yakap sa ama at lalong ibinuro ang mukha sa dibdib nito—taking more of his comfort

Samantha silently watched Aaron as he laid their sleeping daughter on their bed. It’s past 10 in the evening at katutulog pa lang ni Charlie. Mula nang ipakilala niya ang mag-ama kanina, hindi na bumitiw si Charlie kay Aaron. They played and watched Charlie’s favorite movies. Maging noong hapunan, mas gusto ni Charlie na kausap si Aaron kaysa sa kanya. And she wasn’t jealous a bit. She knew they were trying to catch up with the many years they had spent apart.At kung siya ang tatanungin, she’s genuinely happy. Sa kabila nang galit na naramdaman niya noon kay Aaron, she had longed for this time to come—that she gets to introduce Aaron to Charlie. She knew it’s not a good time to be happy just yet, with the scandal and the threat to her life, but she is more than grateful to have this moment to celebrate.Aaron gently kissed Charlie’s forehead. “Goodnight, my princess. I will see you in the morning,” bu

“Yes, mother. No, I have yet to know today, if the Aguinaldos would let me. Yes, I will tell Sam. No, I’ll probably stay here for a while. Okay. Bye.”Mabilis na isinuksok ni Aaron ang cellphone niya sa kanyang bulsa. It was barely six o'clock in the morning saubalit nakaligo na siya at nakabihis. He barely slept last night. He was excited for today. He promised Sam that he’ll be there when she wakes up kaya siya maaga ngayon.He just got a little bit distracted when his mother called and asked him where he was. Ayaw pa sana niyang sabihin ang totoo, subalit sinabi na rin niya to ease his mother’s troubles. As expected, his mother was ecstatic. Ang gusto nga nito magpunta agad sa San Gabriel upang makilala si Charlie. But of course he had to explain the situation. Hindi pa nga niya nakakausap ang Daddy ni Sam at ni Lucas.There are still things that needed to be discussed with the Aguinaldos. And of course, ang tungkol

“Where exactly are we going?” kunot ang noong tanong ni Samantha kay Aaron. It was just a few minutes after four o’clock in the morning and there she was, already awake and off to somewhere with Aaron.She barely slept last night or technically early that morning. Nasa isip niya kasi ang pa-secret ni Aaron. Sa trabaho niya bilang events planner, sanay siyang magplano ng surprises ng mga kliyente niya. She does her job as flawless as possible because that’s what her clients deserve—a high that only a surprise celebration that comes from the heart can give. And now that she’s clueless to what Aaron was about to do, siya naman ngayon ang kinakabahan. She’s half-excited and half-worried to be exact. At kahit na kanina pa siya sinasabihan ni Aaron na h’wag nang magtanong, nagtatanong pa rin siya.“I told you, babe, it’s a surprise,” ani Aaron, ang mga mata nasa daan pa rin.Humaba na ang

Hindi mapakali si Diego habang hinihintay niya ang tawag ng bago niyang boss na si Joshua Sandejas, ang bagong CEO ng Sandejas Shipping Lines. Today will be the first time that his new boss will be meeting the board. At hindi niya alam kung ano ang dapat niyang asahan. He had met Sir Joshua a few times before. Maayos naman ito, mukhang friendly. Subalit alam niyang nag-iiba ang ugali ng magkakapatid na Sandejas pagdating sa trabaho. They all looked serious and would accept no non-sense when it comes to work.“Ready na ba ang board room?” tanong ni Ms. Viviane sa kanya.“Ayos na, Ma’am. I checked it out myself,” sabi niya, kampante.“’Yong mga reports ng bawat departments, handa na rin ba?” anito.“Handa na po. Nakalagay na sa folders, ready for distribution.”Tumango-tango ang matandang babae. “Good,” sabi nito bago tumayo mula sa swivel chair nito. “I have

Pigil na pigil ni Samantha ang kaba habang pababa siya sa hagdan kasama si Charlie. The time has come when she'd get to introduce her daughter to the rest of Aaron’s family. At kahit na mainit naman ang pagtanggap ng ina at mga kapatid ni Aaron sa kanya kanina nang dumating ang mga ito sa beach house, hindi pa rin maalis sa dibdib niya ang kaba. Hindi para sa kanya kundi para sa anak niya.What if they are expecting something from her child at hindi nito magawa iyon? Paano kung magka-iba pala ang pagpapalaki niya kay Charlie sa nakagawian ng mga Sandejas? Siya ba ang sisisihin ng mga ito? Would that be a reason for them to dislike her for Aaron?“Mommy, my hand is ouchie,” reklamo ni Charlie. Agad siyang napabaling sa anak niya. Lukot na ang mukha nito, nakalabi na rin. That’s when she realized that she’s holding her hand too tight.Agad niyang binitiwan ang kamay nito at binuhat na lang. “I’m so sorry, swe

Dahil na rin sa pagod sakakaiisip at kakaiyak, tuluyang nakatuog si Charlie. Nang magising siya, madaling-araw na. She can’t believe she slept that long and missed dinner!Dinner. Shes' not supposed to miss any meals!She secretly groaned, realizing what she did.That has sent her to the edge of panic and relief all at the same time. Sandali siyang nakiramdam. Gael wasn’t cuddling her like he used to. She turned to her side carefully and she saw her husband sleeping on his side too facing away from her. Napalabi siya. Mukhang nagtampo na talaga sa kanya ang asawa.Hindi bale, today is officially their anniversary. She can tell him her secret now.Mabilis niya itong niyugyog. “Gael, wake up,” she whispered.He groaned, shifted slowly and lied on his back. Singkit ang mga matang tumingin ito sa kanya. “W-What? What is it?”Umusog siya kaunti palayo rito. “You have to get up. I’ll tell you something.”He huffed and clicked his tongue. Subalit bumangon din. Sandali itong bumaling sa orasa

“Again? Pero puno pa ang fridge niyan, love. Nakita ko kagabi nang bumaba ako sa kitchen,” reklamo ni Gael kay Charlie nang muli siyang maglagay ng dragon fruit sa cart. They were out grocery shopping in a local grocery store in Cancun. They have been staying there for a week now in celebration of their second wedding anniversary. It was a trip she didn’t really want to take at first because she easily gets tired lately. But when Gael told her that she will call the shots every time, she was in in no time.She rolled her eyes and faced him. “Can’t you get it? I’m not buying them for me to eat. I’m buying it because they looked cute,” pagrarason niya, muling naglagay ng dalawang piraso pa ng nasabing prutas sa cart.Gael huffed. “Should I buy you a dragon fruit farm?”“Of course not!” sabi niya, muling naglakad sa aisle ng prutas na kinaroroonan nila.“What about a grocery store then? You want me to purchase this grocery store for you?”Namawaywang na siya at hinarap ang asawa. “You

“Are you ready?” tanong ng Mommy ni Charlie sa kanya.She filled her lungs with air and gave her mother a slow nod. “Yes,” she replied smiling.Gumanti ng ngiti ang Mommy niya, nangingilid ang luha. Masuyo pa nitong inabot anag kanyang pisngi. “I wish you all the happiness in the world, sweetheart.”“Thanks, Mom,” sabi niya bago niyakap ang ina.They stayed like that for a while bago sila nakarinig ng katok sa pinto. “Hey, the music’s starting and all the guests are waiting. Don’t tell me may balak ka pang itakbo ‘yang anak mo, Sam,” said her father’s familiar voice outside the door.Natatawa nilang binitiwan ng Mommy niya ang isa’t-isa. Sandaling nitong pinunasan ng panyo ang gilid ng mga mata nito bago siya muling nginitian. “Let’s go. Your Dad cannot wait to give you away… officially,” pabirong sabi ng Mommy niya bago inabot sa kanya ang kanyang bouquet.When her mother opened the door to her room, she was met by her father’s loving gaze. “Finally,” anito, nakangiti.

“Ate, sa ‘yo na po ito,” anang sampung taong gulang na batang babae sa kanya. The girl was handing her a big white gumamela flower she probably picked near the gate of the orphanage. Napangiti siya, bahagyang yumuko bago tinanggap ang bulaklak na inaabot ng bata. “Talaga, akin na lang ‘to… ano nga ulit ang pangalan mo?” “Chamy po, ate.” “Salamat, Chamy.” The child gave her a soft smile in return. Akma na sana itong tatakbo pabalik sa mga kalaro nito sa ‘di kalayuan nang pigilan niya ito. “Ano nga palang gusto mong maging paglaki mo, Chamy?” The child beamed at her.“Gusto ko pong maging nurse, Ate!” Sandaling nangunot ang noo niya. “Bakit naman nurse, Chamy?” “Gusto ko po kasing alagaan si Lolo Gael d’yan sa kabilang building.” Lalong nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya. “Lolo Gael?” Mabillis na tumango si Chamy. “Gael lang po kasi ang alam niyang banggitin. Kaya Lolo Gael.” Tumuwid siya ng tayo, hinayon ng tingin ang building ng carehome sa mga matatanda na naroon din sa compoun

It was a manic day for Charlie. No. It was chaos spelled in all caps.She’s running late from her appointment “Hey, slow down, beautiful. You’ll hurt yourself,” nakangiting sabi ni Gael sa kanya, sumandal pa sa hamba ng pinto ng walk-in closet niya.“Go away, Gael. You know I cannot be late today,” sabi niya habang naglalagay ng sunscreen sa mukha. Gael chuckled. “Bakit, hindi ka naman late a. You still have at least an hour and a half to spare.”She scoffed and picked up her blush powder. She won’t wear her full make-up today. “An hour and a half spare that I’ll spend for travel. You know how’s Manila traffic in the morning, Gael. It’s one of the worse and I can’t afford to be late today. Nakakahiya sa orphanage at carehome! At lalong nakakahiya kay Ate Sophie.”It’s true, kasama niya sa pagpunta sa bahay-ampunan at carehome ang kapatid ni Jasmine ngayon. Siguro, kung hindi lang kapapanganak ni Jasmine, baka kasama rin niya ito ngayon.Visiting orphanages was a thing she had been d

Gael jumped out as soon as the car pulled over infront of the police station. Doon sila dumiretso nina Gray at Jacob mula sa simbahan. Aside from Lena, wala nang sino pa mang nasaktan sa masamang insidente na plinano ni Alaric. And it was more than a relief for him. Now he can focus on one thing, ang puntahan si Charlie sa mismong police station.Pahapyaw nang sinabi ni Jacob sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari, subalit hindi pa iyon buo. And not only does he need to talk to Charlie for the full details but he also needs to see his wife to calm the lingering worry in his chest. The picture of Lena dying in his arms was still vivid iin his memory. And he cannot stop thinking that, it could've Charlie dying in his arms and...He shook his head, willing the unwanted thoughst away. Charlie is fine, he convinced himself before picking up his pace. He was at the director’s office in no time. Agad naman siyang hinarap ng pinuno ng kapulisan. Sandali niya itong kinausap at sinabi nito mismo sa ka

Sandaling namanhid si Gael sa kanyang nasaksihan. Panandalian niyang kinumbinsi ang sarili na imahinasyon niya lang ang lahat. Na nasa maayos na lagay si Charlie at walang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. He even tried to blink a few times—willing the dreadful scenario away from his head. But when he opened his eyes, his bride, his wife still laid there on the cold ground, bleeding.With his chest constricting, he tried to stand up, wanting to go to Charlie as soon as he can. But his bodyguard nearby kept him from doing so. Anger burned his skin in an instant. He had to go Charlie and no one, not even the damn death god himself could prevent him from doing so.He turned himself onto the ground, lying on his back, and gave the bodyguard hovering over at him a straight jab to the jaw. Napaupo ito, bago siya mahilo-hilong binitiwan. He took that chance to crawl his way to Charlie, who fell near the entrance of the church. ‘I like the water, Kuya Gael. Can you t

Hindi matapos-tapos ang pagsipat ni Charlie sa sarili niya sa lifesize mirror na nasa kanyang hotel suite. Hindi pa rin siya halos makapaniwala na naroon nga siya at ikakasal ulit kay Gael. This time in a church and in the presence of their family. Well, some of their family. But nevertheless their families are present and that’s the most important thing.She looked down at her ring finger. The emerald engagement ring and the ink she had five years ago are there, a testament of everything she had gone through loving Gael. But she’s glad she finally made it right there at that very moment, when she can declare to the whole world that Gael is hers as much as she is his. That in the world of broken promises and dreams, of heartaches and of tears, Gael is her always—the one she will keep on choosing to love as long as she breathes.Her phone rang, immediately stopping her train of thoughts. Agad na nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya nang mag-register sa screen ang pangalan ni Gael. She picked

Kanina pa nasa harap ng salamin si Gael subalit panay pa rin ang pag-aayos niya sa kurbata ng kanyang suit. The damn thing just won’t align! Frustrated, he took it off altogether and huffed. He’s anxious for some unknown reason. Gray, who arrived last night, said at it must be the wedding jitters but he refuses to believe so. He’s just on edge because he didn’t get to see his wife and son for hours now. Sneaking in at Charlie and Levi’s hotel room crossed his mind a few times last night. With his skills as a former elite boduyguard, he could do that with no sweat involved. But his grandfather gave him a talk about keeping his word and just wait until it’s time for them to meet at the altar again. Subalit naging sobrang napakahirap niyon sa kanya dahil sa iisang hotel lang silang naka-check –in na mag-anak—just different floors. Idagdag pa na talagang makulit si Tala at panay-panay ang pagbabantay sa mag-ina niya, h’wag lang niyang makita ang mga ito. Gray told him to have a little
