Luke POVI didn’t expect that today my brother and I would meet our paths. I'm not angry with Agatha because she told Ethan, I understand her reason. I just didn't think it will be this early.I first put away the scattered papers on the table and then I went inside the room. When I got out, he and his wife were quiet so I sat in the empty seat in front of my brother."How's your life?" Ethan asked me."As you can see, it's fine and I've adjusted to the past years." I answered him."Where have you been in the past years? How many times my private investigators tried to find you but they haven't reported anything to me properly and know you are blocking them.""You know me well brother, I move from place to place so expect them not to see me right away and if they find me I pay them double to tell you nothing. After all, I am also a Hernandez." I explained to him.Soon Agatha stood up and said goodbye to the kitchen and she would cook first."You're lucky to have her." I said to him,"
Ethan POVIt’s been a week since me and my brother had already talked and he also returned home. At first I already told him that I want him to be a Hernandez CEO but he refused it, he chose to manage the rest of our business.And now I'm here in my office with Gian who looks like a zombie who hasn't slept for a few days."What's your problem?" I asked him,"She's back." He answered.My forehead wrinkled. "Who? Can you talk to me properly.” I said."Maxine." His short answer."Don't tell me you still have communication with her?" I ask seriously.He shook quickly. "We just met at a restaurant last time when I had a meeting with one of my clients.""Oh what's the problem if she's back? You already have Belle." I promise."She wants me back.""W-what? Is Maxine losing her mind? After what she did to you? After she leaves you, she'll just come back thinking she didn't do anything wrong?" I said, annoyed."I told her I loved someone else but she didn't want to believe me.""Just don't e
Gian POVIt’s been three days since Ethan and I talked and now my mind is still in turmoil. I know in myself that I love Belle but it's hard to avoid Maxine because we often cross paths.I don’t want to hurt Belle because she was the one who sympathized with me the times I fell so maybe I loved her more than a friend. She is precious and I don't want to see her cry because of me.When I finished all my work I decided to spend time in a bar. I was not with Ethan because he promised to his wife that they will have dinner together with Luke.When I arrived at the bar I just sat in the vacant seat and ordered some drinks. I'm tired at work because of meetings and I still have a problem with Maxine because sometimes she comes to my office.I'm just drinking because I have no plans to stay here at the bar for long and I'll go home soon.While I was busy drinking, a woman approached me and when I looked at who it was, I saw Maxine."Gian!" she exclaimed as she approached me."What are you do
Belle POVSince last day I noticed that Gian seemed to have a problem and when I asked him questions, he always answered only at work. It's not that I don’t believe him but I just can’t help to think about it.We also don't meet often because we are both busy with work but when we have free time we are together. It's just like now that we're eating lunch together."Babe?" I get his attention.He looked at me. "Hmmm?""Are you really sure you're okay?" I asked him.He nodded. "Yes babe, why?""Because you’re thinking so deeply, I've noticed since last time that you seem anxious so I think there might be a problem." I said."I'm just tired of the work babe, you know there are new projects."I smiled at him. "Maybe you're too tired, give yourself time to rest. That'll make you sick." I promise."I will babe, I'm sorry for worrying you. And one more thing I know that when I get sick you're there to take care of me.""Silly! Health is wealth, it's better not to get sick.” I said while la
Belle POVI'm here at Gian's condo because he said he's just going somewhere and will come back right away but because I really want to know what’s happening to him I decided to follow him where he's going. I don't understand myself but I have a different feeling.I hurried down to the condo building and I saw his car, he hadn't boarded yet because he was still talking to someone on the phone. I waited for his car to leave and then I took a taxi because I didn’t bring my car with me.I told the driver to follow Gian’s car where it was going and it immediately complied, as we followed him I couldn’t help but feel nervous. I have a lot of trust in my boyfriend but I just can’t help but not think things through.I was surprised to see Gian’s car stopped in a condominium building. What will he do here? Will he talk to a client?When I saw that he had gotten off and I quickly paid the taxi driver and secretly followed Gian, I needed to be careful so that he couldn’t catch me. I waited for
Belle POVI don't know how I will react to what I heard, I know that Gian hasn't moved on with his ex yet but it still hurts when you hear it from him that he still loves her. No matter what I will do I can replace her.I noticed that Maxine saw me at the same time as Gian looked at where I was and he called me. I quickly ran away from that unit. I don't want to look miserable in front of them both.Before I could get on the elevator Gian had already crossed my arm."Let me go, Gian." I exclaimed."No I won't! Let's talk please babe, let me explain.""What I heard is already clear to me, you don't have to explain because I understand." I said weakly."You're wrong in what you're thinking, that's not what I mean."I looked at him with tears streaming down my face. "I know that you still love her even if you don't tell me that." I said.I saw him shake. "Babe it's not like that. You're the one I love.""You love me because I was there when you needed someone because she left you and now
Gian POVI was almost stuck when Belle left, I couldn't step on my feet to follow her because I didn't want to hurt her more."Gian." I heard Maxine call my name.I knew she was standing behind me so I quickly faced her."Are you happy now? Are you happy Maxine with what you did?" I said with full of resentment."I'm sorry Gian. I didn't mean to, I didn't know she was here.""Is your sorry can change what has happened? I think you're happy now because Belle left me, you're happy because after you left me and hurt me you broke the relationship I have now with the person I love the most." I mock her."You don't know how miserable I was Maxine when you left me. My life was almost ruined because the woman I chose to love left me and then Belle came. The three of us have been friends with Ethan since we were in college. Belle is an ideal woman and anyone will like her so I don't wonder why I fell in love with her. I'm okay. I'm happy. I am content in my life with Belle but you came and rui
Agatha POVEthan and I are just here at home because we just arrived yesterday from vacation. Luke is not here today because he visited Hacienda Hernandez."Baby what do you want for lunch?" my husband asked me, because our maids have returned so I don't cook our food anymore"Anything baby," I replied.Soon a maid approached us. "Ma'am Agatha, Ms. Belle is here looking for you."We saw Belle at her back. So I immediately stood up and walked closer to her."Hi Belle, how are you?" I greeted her but she didn't answer and just hugged me suddenly.I was shocked with what she did and I felt that she started to cry so I stroked her back."What happened?" I asked her and made her sit down. I saw my husband's serious look at us."Why are you crying Belle?" Ethan asked again.Belle looked at my husband, only now did she notice that Ethan was also here. She seemed to think I was the only one in the house."Belle tell me why you're crying." I urged her.I saw the doubt in her eyes as she looked
Ethan POV After how many years we were blessed again with a son and I can say that the happiness I feel in my life now is complete because I have a loving and caring wife and sweet child. I have nothing more to ask for in life because they are enough. Money can’t buy the true happiness that only my family can give. Zey and Marcus are already married, Luke is engaged and my best friend Gian is also happy with his life with his wife Belle and baby girl. Who would have thought that Agatha and I would end up together eventually? Since I hated her the first time I met her. We’ve been through a lot of challenges in life before we achieved our happiness ever after, how many times we were separated by destiny, we faced many problems and most of all it tested our love for each other and trust in God especially when our first child died. I never thought that the woman I hate will have a space in my heart, the woman I despise at first is the woman who will complete my life. She came into my
Agatha POV It’s been a year since Belle and Gian got married because just a few weeks after they were released from the hospital, he proposed immediately and now they are in another country with their family. On the other hand my best friend Zey and Marcus are still going strong even if they are always fighting. As for me we are still strong, my husband decided to work at home first because he wants to be hands on to me and our soon baby. From the moment Ethan found out about my pregnancy he became protective and I didn't complain because I knew he just didn't want to hurt us and repeat what happened to our first child. I was currently sitting on the sofa while watching tv and eating fruit when I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach, at first I just ignored it but as time went on it was excruciating pain. "Manang!" I shouted, so quickly one of our maids approached me. "Why ma'am? Do you need anything?" she politely asked me. "Please go to Ethan, please tell him that I'm going to gi
Gian POV I could barely move because of what Ethan told me. I didn't even know that Belle was pregnant and I was the father she was carrying. How many times have I shouted at her and hurt her and even worse I pushed her earlier. I went with Ethan to visit Belle because he took her to the emergency room. I can’t forgive myself when something bad happens to the two of them. That's why no matter how much I pushed her away, she still stayed because she had a reason. I’m so stupid! When we got to the opposite side of the emergency room, Ethan first called Agatha to ask where they were and his wife said that Belle had been transferred to a private room so we went straight there. When we entered the room we saw Belle lying on the bed while Agatha was sitting on the side of the bed. "What did the doctor say baby?" Ethan asked his wife. "She's okay now baby, it's good and the baby's fit is pretty strong." Agatha replied. Ethan turned to me. "You are lucky fucker and they are both safe be
Belle POV A week ago when Gian and I last met, I also often visit him in the hospital but I don’t show up to him. I also cook her food and give it to Maxine for her to give and not let Gian know it came from me. I just always sit outside his room especially when there is no one to watch over him. Ethan and Agatha also visit here often, sometimes they take me inside and because I can't stand them so I go with them but Gian doesn't pay attention to me, I'm just like air in his eyes. And now I'm going to go to his room because Maxine called me, she has to leave because she has a meeting at work, and the next day Gian can go out already as per his doctor. When I entered I found him sitting in his wheelchair. He immediately looked at me. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "Maxine called me and asked if I could watch over you first because she's going to a meeting." I answered him. "You don't need to do it. I already told her I don't need a guard because I can do it." "It's okay wit
Belle POVI will now go to the hospital where Gian was taken, because I found out from Agatha that he got into an accident so I didn't hesitate to travel there immediately. Luke wouldn't even let me but I still insisted.I am now walking towards where Gian’s room was provided by the nurse I asked about. I didn't bother to knock anymore and I just opened the door. I saw that Gian and Maxine were talking happily and they immediately looked at me when they noticed me."What are you doing here?" Maxine asked me."I'm just going to visit Gian." I answered."As you can see he is fine so you can leave now.""He is the one I am visiting and not you so you have no right to evict me." I said.She would have something to say but Gian had stopped her. "I'm okay Belle if that's what you want to know. I'm still alive so if you don’t mind you can leave." Gian said seriously, I admit that I was hurt because he is pushing me away while Maxine is here."See? You heard what Gian said, didn't you? I thin
Ethan POVMy wife and I are currently in the room. "Are you sure you won't eat baby? I can get you food if you want." I asked him."How many times have you already asked me that baby and I told you I'm still full." she answered me in a low voice."I'm just making sure, later you'll wake me up because you're hungry." I promise."You're so mean to me. Anyway, baby I have something to tell you." Agatha smiled.I looked at her. "What is it?""Because lately I often feel bad."I immediately woke up from lying down because of what she said. "Why don't you tell me? We should go to the doctor so you can be given medicine.""Easy okay? It's only natural and I went to the doctor already.""Without telling me?" I promise."Because it was only yesterday, you had a meeting so I didn't tell you so you don't have to worry.""So what did the doctor say? Has any medicine been prescribed for you?" I ask.Shesmiled and nodded. "It's just vitamins."My forehead wrinkled. "Why vitamins? You're healthy and
Belle POVI tried to chase and call Gian but he didn't even stop his car and even looking back he didn't. I could see the rage in his eyes. I know that he thinks that Luke and I have an affair, that's why we are together now. I just cried and cried as I continued to call his name even though his car was far away already. Soon I could just feel Luke pulling and hugging me."Enough Belle,”"H-he is wrong." I said softly."I know, I know. Stop crying now because it will affect the baby." he comforted me and led me into the house.When we entered, he made me sit in the living room and fetched water to give me a drink."Everything will be alright Belle, just calm down. Think of the child you're carrying. Gian is just angry right now.""I h-hope so." I whispered softly."You don't seem to know the man's temperament especially when we are angry, you can't really talk to us properly. Just let him calm his anger first and everything will be okay."I nodded and smiled a little."I didn't know
Gian POVIt's been two months since I found out Belle left, I tried to find her but I couldn't really find her. I know she was just here and she didn’t go abroad because she had no record at the airport.And now I'm going to the Hacienda of the Hernandezes because I found out Belle was there when I heard Ethan and Agatha talking. I didn't bother to confront the couple anymore because I left immediately when I heard what they were talking about.I can't blame them if they don't immediately tell me that they know where Belle is because it's really my fault why we ended up in this situation. And I’m still thankful that she is in the Hernandez property so I know that she is safe there, all I want now is to talk to her.I have fixed the problem that Maxine and I have, we already talked and she accepted that Belle is really the one I love now but we remain as friends.When I got to the hacienda I quickly got out of the car and entered the house of the Hernandezes. I saw Belle sitting on the
Luke POVWhen I got out of the room I found Belle sitting in the living room. Last night when I came home to the Hacienda I saw her here in the house. I was wondering why she is here. My brother didn’t mention anything to me even my sister in law Agatha. I know her, she is Ethan’s friend. I didn’t ask her when I saw her last night because I was tired so I immediately went straight to the bedroom and slept.I went to the kitchen to get coffee and went back to where Belle was. "Where are they?" I asked her."They both left because they said they needed to take care of something but they will also come back later. I never thought you would come home last night." she promised."I’m here thrice a week or if I want to rest, I'm handling some of the business of our family." I answered."It's good to know that you have already decided to come back.""I don't have any choice because Agatha and Ethan have already seen me." I promise."Well, those two won't stop bothering you when you don't go
