Maximus discovered he had escaped an assassination attempt due to a hotel's mistake. He was given the wrong key, leading him to Celeste's room. Celeste thought she was with the man who was willing to pay her a large sum of money for a night, but it was a mistake, as the man who entered her room was the most powerful businessman in the country. She wanted to start over to reclaim her mother's company from her half-sister's hands, so she offered herself to a stranger, but her father disowned her after watching a scandalous video of Celeste. Maximus searched for the woman he was with, the woman he considered his savior on the night he almost died. When Hannah learned that her sister was with a different man, she quickly devised a plan. Hannah pretended to be the one with Maximus at the hotel so they could have a romance relationship with the most powerful man. What if, upon Celeste's return to the country, she finds out that her sister's boyfriend is the father of her three children? Will she tell Maximus the truth about the kids, or will she hide it until she can?
View MoreMaximus rubbed his temples when the door to his office suddenly opened.“I said no one comes in without knocking, right? How hard is it to understand what I said?” Maximus said, already hot-headed. His two friends, who had just entered, laughed.“You’re hot-headed early in the morning,” Giovanni said. Maximus immediately turned to see who had entered his office. He sat up straight when he saw his two friends.“What are you doing here?” he asked blankly.“Don’t you miss us?” Hunter asked, so Maximus glared at him. Hunter and Giovanni sat on the sofa and looked at Maximus as if he carried the world on his shoulders every day.“We haven’t seen each other for months, and that’s how you greet us? You’re breaking my heart, bro,” Giovanni even put his hand on his chest as if he was really hurt. Maximus ignored his friends and just rubbed his forehead.Giovanni and Hunter looked at each other.“Are you still thinking about business or about the woman?” Giovanni asked seriously, but Maximus di
Celeste met Maximus' dark eyes with unwavering courage, as if she felt no fear.“Celeste is right, Hannah. Still no plans to get married, you two? You’ve been together for seven years,” her father added. Hannah chuckled lightly.“Dad, we don’t need to pressure Max. We know how busy he is with his businesses, and so am I. We’ll get there eventually, right Max?” she turned to Maximus, who remained expressionless.Maximus just ate his dessert and didn’t answer Hannah. He didn’t like what they were talking about. In their seven years together, this was only the third time he had visited their house.“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know when you two plan to get married, seeing as you’re both of the right age,” Celeste said.“If that’s the case, why don’t you get married first?” Maximus retorted, staring intently at Celeste.“How can I get married if I don’t have a groom?” she replied with a raised eyebrow. Hannah wanted to pull Celeste out of the house because she knew Celeste was d
Celeste went straight to their house. As soon as she got out of her car, the guard who had been working for their family for a long time recognized her immediately.“Celeste? Is that you?” he confirmed because the guard knew Hannah had already come home.“Brother Migs, how are you?” Celeste asked smiling. She was happy that even though she had been away from home for a long time, their old staff was still there.“It’s you, I won’t forget your angelic voice.” The guard said happily and hugged Celeste. Celeste missed the people she had been with for many years. The guard immediately released her from the hug and looked at Celeste in disbelief.“You’re even more beautiful, you’re starting to look like your Mom. You know, no matter how much makeover your sister does, she’ll never be able to imitate the original.” Celeste just laughed at what their guard said.“Don’t you like that you always see me in Hannah’s face.” The guard shook his head because even though they had known Hannah for a
The siblings couldn’t get Maximus’ face out of their minds, so when they were the only ones left at home while their nanny was preparing their food, Maxwell took out a magazine and put it on the center table.They all stared at it.“No matter what angle I look at, you three really look alike. Brother Zach, look at him when he’s frowning, it’s like you. You’re both serious and when Brother Max also becomes serious, you’re like two halves of a whole. Is it possible that he’s our dad?” Luna said while looking at her brothers and Maximus’ face in the magazine.“I also want to hope that he’s our dad, Luna, but based on my research online, he’s a powerful businessman. Everyone is afraid of him and no one dares to challenge him. It seems like Mommy doesn’t know him.” Maxwell said.“Why don’t we ask Mom about him? Let’s just try. I really want to meet Dad, I want to experience what it feels like to have a dad.” Luna said with a pout, longing for a father’s love.Zachary stroked his youngest s
Celeste was busy calculating her expenses when she started producing their new items. She knew she was calculating a lot even though she wasn’t halfway through. The capital wasn’t her problem because Maximus promised to pay for the capital they needed.She bit the end of her ball pen while remembering what else she needed when someone knocked on her door.“Come in,” she said without turning to the door. Maximus’ secretary entered.“My name is Carter Rosales, ma’am, I’m Mr. Lim’s secretary. He sent me here to pick you up. He said you need to talk about the capital he needs to release.” He said, Celeste nodded because the materials she needed to buy were already ready.She took her bag then she followed Carter. All the employees who passed by her were still bowing to her because they thought she was Hannah. She just ignored them, so she just passed them by.Celeste and Carter were walking in the lobby when Hannah saw them. Hannah furrowed her brows then she stared at who was with her si
Celeste wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at her father who couldn’t look at her.“I don’t know what Hannah’s reason was for letting her do what she wanted. I wish you had thought about how I would feel. Well, whatever I do, whatever I tell you, you let Hannah do what she wants. I just want you to give me a good and acceptable reason why Hannah imitated my face. What is her valid reason, Dad?” Logan couldn’t answer his daughter because even he didn’t know Hannah’s reason for needing to imitate Celeste’s face.Logan wanted to say that he didn’t agree with Hannah’s wish, but he couldn’t do anything when he found out that she had already had a makeover. He avoided his daughter’s gaze. He hadn’t seen or been with her for seven years, then they would argue again when they met.“I didn’t know you were back and that you’ve already met Hannah.” Logan could only say. Celeste just rubbed her temple and her tears fell because her father wasn’t answering any of her questions.“It’s only my
Celeste was about to leave the lobby when Maximus caught up with her.“What now?!” Celeste shouted angrily then she looked at who pulled her. She looked at Maximus with a frown. “What do you need? Why are you chasing after me?! You’re wasting my time.” she said annoyed because she should have left already if Hannah and Maximus weren’t stopping her.“Let’s talk, but not here,” Maximus said in his serious tone then he held Celeste’s hand, but Celeste removed Maximus’ grip on her.“I don’t have time to talk to someone like you and I have no reason to talk to you. Now, let me go! What's wrong with you and Hannah?! I just want to leave, but you’re like puppies following me.” Maximus’ jaw clenched because Celeste had the guts to shout at him and in a public place?“Don’t hurt Hannah again, Miss Marquez. Remember, I just paid you to be the company’s designer.” Maximus said seriously, but Celeste just laughed, which made Maximus’ blood boil even more.“Remember also, Mr. Lim, that I didn’t fo
All the board of directors looked at Celeste in surprise when she entered. They knew Hannah, but you could see the difference between Hannah and the woman who had just entered the conference room. Hannah rolled her eyes because she didn't know how she would explain Celeste to the BODs.“Can you explain Miss Marquez what is happening? We are asking about Mia Moda not your—is she your twin?” an old man asked, unable to contain his curiosity. Hannah cleared her throat and stood in front of them.“Let me introduce myself,” Celeste answered. Hannah swallowed because she was nervous. What if Celeste spoke and told everything about her?“She’s my twin sister, meet Celeste Marquez.” Hannah quickly introduced Celeste. Celeste clenched her fist slightly. She was creeped out by Hannah's words. When did they become twin sisters? Well, who would believe them that they were only half-sisters if they looked exactly alike?“Like you, I was also surprised that Mia Moda and my twin sister are one and t
Hannah’s irritation didn’t subside until she got home. She saw her mother sitting on the sofa, watching in their big TV.“Is Dad here?” Hannah asked her mother seriously. Elloise immediately turned to her daughter because she was surprised by the tone of her voice.“He’s in a business meeting, why?” she asked curiously. Hannah sat down and turned off the TV so she could talk to her mother. Elloise looked at her daughter in confusion and waited for her to speak.“What happened?” she asked impatiently. Hannah’s eyebrows were still furrowed.“She’s home,” she replied briefly, causing Elloise to frown. She didn’t know what her daughter was saying.“Who? Can you just tell me what happened?” she said, sounding annoyed because her daughter was keeping her in suspense. She was also nervous when her daughter was serious.“Celeste is home, mom. Damn it! You know what’s even more annoying? Maximus saw her!” She couldn’t help but raise her voice because her anger was burning deep inside.“Wait, w
Celeste laughed bitterly, as if her heart was being squeezed with pain, but she forced herself to calm down. She couldn't accept that the shares that were supposed to be hers were given to her half-sister by her father.“Dad, tell me that you’re lying. Tell me!” she shouted at her father, whose face was blank while Hannah and Elloise, the mother-daughter pests in Celeste's life, were smiling.“Don’t you dare shout at Daddy—”“You, shut up!” Celeste's eyes almost glared at Hannah, her arrogant half-sister. They all fell silent because it was the first time they saw Celeste angry. Celeste's veins almost popped out of her neck from the intensity of her anger.Celeste looked at her father again, but he remained silent.“You will pay for this, Mommy built the company you gave to your mistress, Dad. She poured her blood and sweat into it, and you just gave it to them so easily? Where is your conscience?!” Celeste's shout echoed like thunder.Hannah swallowed nervously because they were used
