"Do you have a driver with you?" Shawn asked, lifting a glass of wine as well. He just wanted to make sure that his friend is safe from any accidents that may occur.
"Yes, bro, don't worry, I will not drive under the influence of alcohol," his best friend replied, he then takes a drink of his wine and puts it on the table.
"Good."
"I don't want the same thing to happen again." Nick lowered his gaze on the floor as though he was reminded of something. His eyes were wavering as though something traumatic came up to his mind. "It was a nightmare and I don't know what to do every time I remember it," he meaningfully said.
Meanwhile, Ericka who was silently listening this whole time just stayed quiet. She had no idea

It was vibrating inside his pocket that he couldn't help but turn his attention to the road and parked it near a stop."Excuse me," Shawn said turning to look at her. Once the car stopped, he grabbed onto his phone from his pocket and stared at him for a second.Who could that person be?"Hello Madison." Once Shawn put his phone on his ear and answered the call, he immediately mentioned the caller's name that made her turn her head towards the road.The man made sure to put the phone on speaker so that all doubts from his woman would disappear, although at the corner of his eyes, he can see the disinterest in her face as though she couldn't be bothered at all."Shawb, I need your help," the woman from the other side of the phone said.Ericka, who was listening secretly

On the other hand, Shawn who was staring at the disappearing silhouette of the woman just shook his head and then crossed his arms.He can't help but get irritated at her stubborness. She became so hard-headed ever since she came back from running away. She also keeps pushing him away and starting fights that he couldn't understand why. Did he ever do something to her?However, despite all the things he has been noticing with his fianceé, he can't just deny nor demand her to act the way he wants, knowing that she have gone through a lot and she might not be saying anything about her circumstance.All he could do was to support her every decision including the baby he saw two years ago.His eyes closed for a second as he remembers the scene playing in his head.It was one time when he accidentally saw her on the streets.

"What are you doing?" he added, not realizing why this woman would do it in the first place.The woman looked at him with a surprised look but before Shawn could continue to react, the door to the car suddenly flew open and a silhouette came inside."Ericka," Shawn called out. He was surprised that this woman suddenly came inside his vehicle making the whole place awkward.Quickly, the woman takes a seat in the backseat and just shuts the door to the car."Good thing you went to pick up my sister and left me," Ericka said. There was something in her tone that shows how di

You'll soon become Mrs. Gray like any other woman has dreamt off!" Jenna said that made her knit her forehead.Her face tried to flash a smile but she could hear the sarcasm in her tone. It was obvious that she is just acting ignorant.Meanwhile, Ericka, who couldn't handle her anger anymore, just exploded from within. She couldn't help but let out sour words as well, as she tried to boast in front of her supposed sister."Oh my, thank you for the greeting," Ericka replied, a wide smirk flashing through her lips. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Gray and if I ever saw her cheating when we get married, I'll assure you that I'll cut his one and only happiness," she continued before her eyes landed at the rearview mirror.&

I want him to bless us now and have our first marriage contract," Shawn said before his eyes slowly turn to look at her.Immediately, Ericka felt her face warming up from the words he mouthed. She instinctively turned away in embarrassment as she noticed Jenna not making a single word.There was a dark expression looming through her face and at the back of her mind, she couldn't help but become confused.Why is Shawn trying to marry her and have Jenna become the first witness? Is he trying to hurt his girlfriend? Or is there some

At the touch of his lips against her skin, she suddenly felt butterflies through her stomach that made her giggle from within.Truth be told, she is still speechless while looking at the man."Congratulations, Mrs. Gray, no one will be able to take me away from you again," Shawn added that pulled her back to reverie. It seems that he is pruposely making his voice loud to make sure that Jenna could hear him say those words.Meanwhile, her step-sister looked distraught yet tried to compose herself. She forced another smile through her lips before weakly saying, "Congratulations… Sissy and… Shawn," she said after a long pause.It was obvious that she wanted to choke down her words, unable to utter sincere greetings for the two of them.Ericka who didn't mind it anymore couldn't help but show her a gaping smile through her lips.

After giving their order, Shawn looked at Nick, and he knew what it meant."Well, Carol and I are in a relationship. Besides, you also need to know that she is Rica's Aunty, Carol.

They were all sitting in the living room with a bottle of vodka on the top of the center table."Here, read the letter that Caroline gave to you…” Nicki said and handed the paper to Nick while he was putting the stainless bucket on the table that was filled with ice cubes."Should I read it now?" Nick asked with doubt and hesitation as he was holding the rough textured paper between his fingers."Yes, I advised you too, so you can know about the truth,” Nicki said blandly.She could see that there's something serious written on the letter that Carolina had left for the brothers. It was evident based on Nicki's gesture and his blunt reply to Nick."I'm sure the last time we met, you were shocked as to why I left without telling you," Nicki said to her while pouring her glass with vodka."Oh, yes, regarding that, I am really surprised. I thought you were just in a hurry, or an emergency occurred," she replied."No, when you told me about your boyfriend coming, and I saw that it was my b

He rang the bell, making her open the door for him as she thought that there was a delivery or an unexpected guest.It didn’t occur to her that it might be Nick as she was aware that he went to have dinner with his brother and her employers. He never texted her earlier that he won’t be eating at home because they would be meeting at a restaurant."Babe are you alright?" she couldn’t help but ask with confusion because of his gesture."Yes, Babe. I'm fine. I just couldn't help but be happy after meeting them. One more thing, there's something I need to tell you," Nick uttered in such a manner that he seemed to be too excited to tell her something.Suddenly, she remembered that he promised to tell her something about his secret after he had a meeting with her employer and his brother."Is it about
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Carol
Carol swallowed a lump in her throat as a ridiculous idea ran through her head. She couldn't believe that she thought that Nick would do that to his deceased girlfriend. She could see how kind Nick was. Unless, of course, if he was only pretending and hiding his true colors."I'm scared…" she murmured. It was already too late before she realized that she had voiced those words."I'm sorry. I have no intentions of scaring you. I promise you… Once I'm done talking with Shawn and Ericka, and when everything turns out to be fine, I will introduce you to my family. I know that they’ll be happy to meet you." After hearing his words and the name of her employer from his mouth, she couldn’t help but feel relieved."Mr Shawn and Ms Ericka?" she asked."Yes, there's something I need to settle with them. I hope that once you find out everything about me, you will listen to the entire story first before judging me. I promise you that I’m not a bad person which is why I don’t understand why Carol

All this time, the girl's voice he heard on the other line of the phone was his daughter.The longing he felt for his daughter was soon to be filled. Out of excitement, he immediately hugged his brother. Though Carol didn't tell him about his daughter, she did well by handing the custody of their child to Ericka and Shawn."Yes, bro. I know them well. Carol has something to give you; she asked Ericka to give it to you before she died," he said before he distanced himself from hugging his brother."For me…" Nicki asked with a smile plastered on his lips."Yes, for you…" Nick affirmed after they heard the sounds of the knocking, making them look at the door, which suddenly opened. Looking, they found that it was their parents."Mom… Dad…" they said in unison and immediately embraced each of them."What's going on here? Are you both crying?" Their mother ask

Nick," the elder woman replied back."How's everything, how's my brother?" he asked.Amy smiled at him and replied, "He's doing fine. I just served his breakfast.""Where is he?""He's in his bedroom," the butler replied."Thank you, Aunty," he mumbled and went inside the house. From there he went straight to the staircase, heading to his brother's bedroom. He took a deep breath before he knocked on the door three times and waited for his brother's response, but he got nothing. He held the doorknob and twisted it before he pushed the door to open.He saw that the bed was empty, and the sounds of the running water echoed from the bathroom. He headed to the bed and sat there at the edge. He decided to wait for his brother to come

"Shawn, I'm just testing you. The truth is that the birthmark I was asking for was here behind your ear," Grandma Mila said as she touched the small mole that was behind his ear. If he purposely looked for it, they could see it."Oh, Grandma…" Shawn mumbled and hugged the old woman tight."Tell me, Mr. Grey, if I'm not mistaken, there's embroidery name, Shawn, in his shirt and shorts when you found him?" Grandma asked, looking at Mr. Grey."Yes, Mrs. Mila. There is,” he admitted."You see, I wasn't mistaken. You are my grandson. I'm just checking on you earlier." Grandma giggled.They stayed there until lunchtime, and the old woman cooked a dish that was Shawn's late father's favorite dish."This is one of your father's favorite dishes, steam fish with mayonnaise sauce.""Shawn's favorite is seafood, anything that's seafood. He likes it. Either you cook it with sauce, fried or grilled." Mr. Grey said."He is like his father. His mother likes to do embroidery. The truth is that his mot

"Hon, what should we bring for her? Should we buy cake," he asked, trying to think carefully.Ericka thought for a while and helped her analyze. "Cake, I don't think so. She loves to bake, and usually, she's giving it all a slice of cake every time she makes a cake.""Really..?'' he asked in surprise."Yes, Honey. Grandma Mila love's to bake. That's one of her habits," Ericka shared with a smile."Then what should we bring for her?""How about a basket of fruits?""Well, that's a good idea, and a bouquet of red roses.""Yes, why not."After they got the best gift to bring, they arrived at the place of Grandma Mila. They looked at each other and Shawn turned off the car engine."Are you ready?" Ericka asked."Yes, actually, I'm excited. I was wondering what could be her reaction," Shawn said while feeling nervous as well."Well, let's find out," Ericka said after she unbuckled herself."Hon, I'm nervous," Shawn said while smiling."I understand you because I felt the same when I return
