Ericka looked tense, constantly pouring wine into her glass.Monica whispered, "Ericka, are you getting drunk?""Not really, just nervous," she replied. "I'm thinking if I'm really ready to get married.""Hello? You're 29, get a grip!""I don't know. Maybe it's just excitement.""Don't worry. Monte is a good guy, and Grandpa accepts you.""I'll get some water," Bernard said."I-I'm okay... I just choked," she replied, tears welling up.Monica gently patted her back. Bernard returned with water."Drink this," Monte handed her the water. She took a sip. "Feeling better?"She nodded. The conversation resumed."What happened to you?" Monica worriedly asked."I guess I just felt overwhelmed," she lied."That's normal. Before marrying Harry, I had a lot of feelings too. Like, I felt nauseous, had stomach pains, stuff like that.""What are you whispering about there?" Bernard interjected. They were at the end, so others couldn't hear."I was asking Ericka about how many..." Monica couldn't f

Point of View: MonteHe woke up to a sour smell in the room. The light from the lamp on his side table cast a dim glow. Deciding to investigate, he opened the lamp on Ericka's side.A woman wearing clothes reeking of vomit. Luckily, the vomit didn't reach the blanket, bedsheet, and pillow. He thought maybe she had a bad dream and sat up because the vomit was on her stomach and the hem of her clothes.He chose to turn on the light on the headboard. He's accustomed to women dressing up; Monica, Montana, and Almira are the ones fond of drinking and often end up vomiting. But they usually wear bras. He's used to seeing women in two-piece outfits, except with Almira, his girlfriend, he got surprised.He was about to lift and roll up the woman's clothes when a realization struck him. She might suspect me of something nefarious again, he thought. He took the girl's cellphone and recorded how he would dress her, using a timelapse to make it quicker to watch. As he rolled up her clothes, he he

She peeked at him; he's still covered with a blanket. She decided to move to the side to avoid waking up Nanay Perlita.She turned off the light on the headboard and the lamp on her side. Monte doesn't like it too dark when sleeping, so she left the lamp on his side. She lay down, covered herself, and turned to her left, facing the side table.Perhaps influenced by the alcohol she drank, she slept quickly embraced him.She didn't notice anything until morning. Her sleep was so blissful. She was about to stretch when she felt herself embraced by someone. "Oh, shit," she muttered in her thoughts. She realized her clothes were pulled up to her neck. The person next to her seemed sound asleep. Carefully, she removed their arm draped over her. Unable to lower her clothes immediately, fearing they might wake u

POV: MonteHe heard the two women talking inside the room. He carried Ericka's cellphone, but overheard the older woman asking for it, so he went back, pretending to have just woken up. The older woman knocked on the door. He promptly opened it."Yes, Nay, good morning," he greeted with a smile."It seems my ward had a good morning," the older woman remarked. "Young master, I'll just get the young lady's cellphone.""Allow me to get it. I also have something to ask," he said."Alright, young master, I'll prepare lunch," the older woman left.As he stepped out, he wanted to know if she really had a crush on him. When he knocked and opened the door, he couldn't hold back his feelings. However, he felt hesitant to ask, fearing she might think he's nosy or presumptuous.As he exited the young lady's room, he leaned against the wall, his heart pounding loudly.

Taking a deep breath, she smiles and goes back to address them."What did you say?" she asked."I said, we better find a rich man who will lift us from dirt, just like what you did," they boldly replied."And who might that be?""You!""Oh really," she smiled, "Are you accusing me of something I didn't do?""How do you explain your relationship with Mr. San Miguel? Are you Cinderella?

She hums while inside the elevator."Why do you seem so happy?" Ericka whispers."Probably because you became my wife," he responds loudly, making the room boys smile."Shame on you," the woman whispers."What's embarrassing about that?" he replies. "Brothers, do you have wives?""Not yet, sir," they answer."When you marry someone as beautiful and kind as her, will you be happy?""Of course, sir.

"Really?" She was genuinely surprised by what she learned. "So, most likely, they're seeking revenge against us?""Yep," Bernard confirmed."That's why Shaina and Khaye have different last names. Shaina's father's sibling is Khaye's mother," Monica explained."Does Mrs. Dominguez have something to do with this?" she inquired."They started a business after Monte kicked her out.
