Despite everything happening too soon, she shouldn't just lower her guard after all the heartache she has felt.
A bitter smile managed to creep on her lips.
"I'm sure, you'll still remarry," she mumbled, whispering to herself.
"What did you say?" Shawn asked, turning his head to look at her but all she did was look at her uncle. It didn't even matter anymore if her husband heard her since she knew the answer right away.
"Shawn, we're invited to dinner tonight." Not minding the words Ericka has uttered, he just shifted his gaze back to his father.
"What's the occasion?" he asked, confused about the sudden invitation.

A smile drew on the old ma

Please don't change the topic," he added, before shifting his head back to the wheels. "I'll answer your question in full honesty."Ericka took his words to her mind as she let out another sigh. After all the years she has been thinking about it, she finally had the chance to voice out her pain.Immediately, as she tried to recall what she witnessed that day, a few years ago, she couldn't help but feel her throat dry.

The CEO'S Secret Daughter Mr. Gray's house,
Along a short drive from Mr. Gray's house, they arrived in a simple two-story house with modern decorations.

As though someone was living alone, you could tell how gloomy it was.Well, it wouldn't be for too long since after a long while, she'll finally live here together with him and maybe…The thought from her head suddenly made her feel flush red. Why is she thinking about creating a family with him here?Ericka shook her head as she turned to look at the man. They were now walking in the house when she decided to ask."Are you living here alone?""Yes I do, but I'm not used to staying here. Most of the time I stay in my father's house, since he is alone there, along with the servants," he explained.
The CEO'S Secret Daughter Woman
Ericka couldn't help not to frown at the sight of a woman standing close to their car. She was wearing big sunglasses across her face while her face seemed like someone who had a resting bitch face.When the two of them managed to look at each other eye to eye, the woman gave her a dirty finger and surprised by the gesture, she went inside the room.She went straight downstairs to look for Shawn and saw him still in the kitchen wearing a blue striped apron. Immediately, she was in awe. The apron suited him so much that he looked like someone who just came out of a kitchen show commercial."Hey Honey, you suddenly came down." Shawn pulled her from her thoughts that made her look in his eyes. "I was about to bring you a sandwich and juice while I was cooking our lunch," he added, showing the food on top of the kitchen counter. Meanwhile, Ericka who was dumbfounded for a few seconds suddenly remembered why she came down. "We can eat later. Come, I'll show you something," she said with

Eeivka couldn't help but feel her mouth watering from the food he had mentioned. The sandwich was not enough to satisfy her hunger and she could feel her stomach grumbling yet again."It is delicious, Shawn said, chuckling to himself. "I made it.""Next joke please!"

"Me?" Shawn asked. He couldn't believe what she just said to a point that he widened in shock. How was he one of the main reasons why she became so done? Was he such a scumbag that she ended up like this?"Yes," Ericka replied, shortly. The way she said it seemed like she was indifferent to him and at the same time filled with sadness."But why me?" Shawn asked. He just couldn't believe that something like that had ever happened. If only he knew what she meant at that time then maybe he could have done something for her."What makes it impossible?" Ericka replied. A bitter smile loomed through her lips."No, I just can't believe it," Shawn said. "What did I ever do to make you go through all of those? I feel so bad that I've done something so wrong to you," Shawn sincerely said. All of those words that came out of his mouth are the truth. He still can't move on from the fact that instead of helping and treasuring the woman he has ever loved, he has caused her pain.Meanwhile, Ericka

He slowly broke from their hug and then stared right through her eyes while caressing her cheek. "I will never let anyone hurt anymore, over my dead body," he added, which made Ericka squeeze him in another hug.Those words managed to touch her insides as he said those words and it was enough to melt her completely.These were the only words she had been waiting to hear all along. Through the years she has endured, all she wanted was reassurance, affection and acceptance.After a short while, Shawn finally broke from their hug again."Alright, finish your salad, and I'm going to cook the steak," he commanded, which just made her nod her head.She then let out a chuckle as she wiped off her cheek.

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

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."

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.

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.

"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.
