Out I said stop it! Bettina, Z," Mommy interjected. I quickly shook my head. "No, Mom!" I insisted. "We're not leaving here," I said, still staring at Daddy. He blinked and took a deep breath as if he were losing his patience. "Don't you understand, Zariyah? Or are you just being stubborn?!" he asked. I chuckled before responding. "Maybe both? Because I can't understand your constant hurt towards Mommy!" I know that talking back to your parents is wrong, but the situation is different now. If Mommy can't defend herself, I must do it for her. I can't just stay quiet and obey what they always command me to do. "Z! I'm begging you. Please, stop it!" Mommy keeps pleading with me. "Come on, Mom! You know I can't just shut up. I'm tired of keeping everything inside my head because he'll continue manipulating us if I don’t speak up!" I responded, still glaring at Dad. I could see the shock in his eyes because I was finally standing up to him. Mommy continued to cr

“From now on, I will show you true love and care as your father. You can open up to me. I want to make amends with you, Z. I’m sorry,” Daddy repeated, his voice filled with emotion. I nodded and blinked back tears as I felt Daddy hold me tightly. It had been a long time since I had hugged him like this, and now I could truly feel his love. At that moment, I felt like I finally had a father. Daddy and I spent a long time on the rooftop talking until we both calmed down from our tears. I knew the anger in my heart stemmed from his actions, but after our conversation, I felt that anger slowly dissipating. I began to understand why he had treated me the way he did. Their marriage had faced many trials. Daddy confessed all his wrongdoings, and while it wasn't right to deceive and hurt Mommy, I chose to forgive him. After our talk, we went to Mommy's room. Bettina and Margot were still there with Brandon, and as soon as they saw us, their gazes locked onto us. I knew my sisters we

"Ma’am, you have a visitor. Addy is his name. Should I let him in?” he asked.I stood up straight and nodded immediately.“Yeah, sure. Please let him in,” I replied.I watched the door as Addy entered. I expected someone to follow him in, but the bodyguard closed the door right away.“Sorry, Z. I’m not with Brandon right now,” Addy told me.“Oh! Okay. That’s fine. What brings you here, then?” I asked, smiling at him.I gestured for him to follow me to the living room, but he barely raised his hand and shook his head before speaking again.“No, it’s okay, Z. I won’t stay here too long. I just stopped by because I was in the area,” he explained.I nodded and shrugged my shoulders. "I'm planning to visit Japan for a week, and I intend to bring Brandon along. It’ll be a great opportunity for us to spend quality time together. I haven’t told him yet because I wanted you to be the first to know. I’m just worried he won’t come with me since I know he might feel obligated to stay with you, e

"So, how long will you be here, Z?" Pinky asked curiously. "Until my classes start again," I replied. That is what my dad and I talked about. He wants me to focus more on my studies than on the company for now. He hopes that one day, I will be as hands-on in my work as he is. "Oh! That’s sad to hear. We’ve only been together for two weeks," Wendy said. I was surprised because that was the only time we could be together. "But don't worry. We can still catch up outside of the office. Besides, I can come here anytime—after my classes or on weekends," I replied, then shrugged. "Really?! Are you still going to hang out with us?" Wendy asked. "Yes, why not?" I answered. I knew we would get along well since our ages weren't that far apart. When I found out that they often went out every weekend, I was even more excited because I could join in on their activities. It was late afternoon when Dad returned to his office. He asked Alexis what I had been taught, and he seeme

His two hands crawled over my butt, so I couldn't help but hold his chest. I fought every kiss he gave me, but I couldn't help but think about Addy because he might suddenly come out of his room and see what Brandon and I were doing. We both gasped when I stopped kissing him. I was going to talk, so he just covered my lip with his finger. "Don't worry, Addy is not here. He's not coming home right now," he said and immediately pulled me into his room. I was just bitten on my lips when we finally got into his room. He took me to his bed, and he slowly sat me there. I almost bounced there with its softness. He stood in front of me as I looked up at him, my lips licking. He bowed again and kissed me again as he slowly pushed me to his bed. I blinked and held his every kiss until he fell on top of me. His kiss dropped from my jaw down to my neck,, and one hand crawled down to the thigh. It was as if I was crazy again, as I felt his every move and felt how excited we were. He

"Oh, your bodyguard, Z. You can go home now if you want. Besides, Pinky and Wendy are drunk," Alexis said with a shrug.My eyes widened when Alexis referred to Brandon as my bodyguard, but instead of dwelling on that, I simply nodded in response."Oh, yeah! I really have to go, Alexis. Please take care of the girls. I'll head out now," I told him.I hurried to grab my bag from the chair and didn’t even get to say goodbye to the girls. I smiled at Alexis once more and waved before making my way to Brandon."Brandon, what are you doing here?" I asked him, confused since I thought he was with Addy tonight, training for the business they would run together.He didn't respond but shook his head and turned away. I sensed that he was upset with me for not telling him I was going to the bar, so I followed him outside."I was calling you a while ago, but you didn’t answer. I called one of your bodyguards, and he told me you were here. Why didn't you tell me you were going to the bar tonight?"

George turned to me, and I questioned the authenticity of her surprise at seeing me. "Oh! I'm sorry, but who is she?" she asked, looking at me. "She's his girlfriend, Brandon," Johny replied. "What?!" George exclaimed, surprised, then laughed a little. "I thought you were single?" she continued, glancing at Brandon. I sharply looked at Brandon and could see the shock in his eyes as he shook his head. "I never said I was single, George. You can see that now," Brandon replied in his defense. I took a deep breath and looked at Manang Gina, feeling like my tears were on the verge of flowing. Seeing the first girl your boyfriend loved brings on a different kind of pain and jealousy, even if they no longer have a relationship. "Manang, I think I need to go home. I have to return to Manila now. I'll update you about Mom when I get there. Please convey my gratitude to Mang Julio," I said before walking away. I didn't wait for Manang Gina to respond. I just patted Johny on the

“Z? What happened? Are you crying?” he asked, his forehead creasing with concern. “D-Dad,” I said, stepping closer to him. He continued to look at me, his expression tense. I sat down in the chair in front of his desk, tears streaming down my face because I didn't know how to tell him. “Z! What’s going on? Please don’t give me a hard time—tell me what’s happening. Did Margot fight you again?” His voice was filled with urgency as he asked a series of questions. I shook my head and quickly wiped away my tears. Taking a deep breath, I pulled the pregnancy test out of my pocket and placed it on his desk. “I’m sorry, Dad,” I said, sobbing. “What’s this?” He picked up the test, and shock was registered on his face. I bowed my head, bracing myself for his reaction. My heart raced as I prepared for the worst. “Oh, come on, Zariyah! I have ninety-nine problems, and you have to add one more?!” His voice was filled with anger. “I-I’m sorry,” I stammered. As I lifted my head

I stopped eating and barely pushed my food away as I picked up my laptop again. "You haven't finished your food yet," he said. "I'm already full," I replied, even though I'd just lost my appetite. "You just ate a little bit. How can you be so satisfied?" he asked. Annoyed, I turned to face him. "I already told you that I'm not hungry. Next time, please don’t buy me lunch. I was hoping you wouldn't get me anything to eat either because I have a secretary for that. You should give all your attention to that girl who was talking to you earlier," I told him. His laughter filled the room, overwhelming me again. I knew I wouldn't be able to focus on my work if I stayed there with him, so I closed my laptop and placed it on the table. "Oh, why?" he asked. I ignored him and stood up from my chair. "Are you jealous?" he probed. I smirked, returning his question with one of my own. "Of course not. Why would I be?" I replied, then let out a sarcastic laugh. If he was trying to push

"Meeting adjourned. Thank you, everyone!" Daddy said. I could finally breathe freely; our meeting was over. I immediately turned to River, who had been teasing me earlier. "I know what you were doing," I said to him. He raised both hands as if to defend himself. "I just wanted to see his reaction. He's been staring at you since our meeting started," he explained. I stared at him, unsure of how to feel. I didn't know if that would affect Brandon significantly since we had no relationship. I left River in his chair as someone approached him to talk. All our companions said their goodbyes. Some were still chatting, while others began to leave. I noticed Brandon, in my peripheral vision, engaged in conversation with someone, so I took the opportunity to approach Daddy. "Z, are you surprised?" he asked with a smile. "Surprised by what?" I replied, my forehead wrinkling in confusion. Daddy laughed and pulled me in for a hug. "About Brandon. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but when you

I turned again to go inside, but he stopped me once more. "Did you really move on from me?" he asked. My heart raced at his question. I felt speechless, and to my surprise, I realized that I hadn’t really moved on from him. He stepped closer and grabbed my elbow as he stared into my eyes. I stopped when I felt the cold wall behind me. "Do you still love me, Z?" he asked. I could almost feel the warmth of his breath on my face, mingled with the scent of the wine he had been drinking. I just stared back at him, my heartbeat quickening; I feared he might hear it. "If you asked me that question, my answer is no because I never moved on from you. Even though I thought you were gone, my love for you didn’t fade. You remained in my heart because I promised myself that you would be the last woman I ever loved. Now that you are back in my life, my love for you has only grown," he said. I could see the seriousness in his eyes as he spoke those words. I swallowed hard when he gently

I shrugged again. "Why not? Your relationship has been going on for a long time, and it's been five years since-" I stopped when he suddenly interrupted me. "Z, George and I didn't get back together. In these five years, no one has intervened between us," he explained. I hesitated to respond, unsure of whether to believe him. What if he was just denying it? "But she said that you two got back together," I insisted, feeling a slight twitch in my forehead. "You called George crazy, so why do you believe what she says?" he challenged. I took a deep breath, feeling exhausted. It seemed George wasn't just crazy; she was also delusional. "So, let's get back to you. When are you planning to settle down?" he asked. I laughed. "Me? Why is that question coming my way?" I replied. "Because why not? The river looks good, and what about your boyfriend?" he said, then glanced away. I nearly spilled my drink at his comment. Why did he think River was my boyfriend? "Come on

Tosmiled and tightened my grip on her. I couldn't forgive myself for anything that went wrong with her because of me. We released our embrace just as the bedroom door opened. We turned and saw Brandon enter. “Papa!” Sky called out. Brandon walked toward us, handed me a bottle of water, and smiled at Sky. “How are you?” he asked. “I feel better, Papa. I’m sorry for eating ice cream. I really wanted to know what it tastes like,” she explained. I watched as she spoke to her dad, her friendly demeanor shining through. Brandon sat on the other side of Sky and gently caressed her head. "It's okay, baby. Just don’t do it again, alright?" he said. He handed her some fruit, which she eagerly began to eat. Brandon and I exchanged glances, and I smiled at him. “I met your boyfriend, and he’s waiting for you outside. You can go now; let me take care of Sky,” he said. I furrowed my brow slightly. His mention of a boyfriend puzzled me. Then I remembered River, and a smile almost

Just then, Brandon returned and said, "Girls, is it okay if I leave you two for a while? I have an urgent meeting to attend." We turned to him together. "Oh, yeah, sure. So, you won’t be with us for lunch?" I asked him. He nodded and shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, I guess," he replied. I took a deep breath and nodded at him again. Brandon turned to us and gently held Sky's head. "Behave, okay? Don’t stress out your mom," he told Sky. "Okay, Papa! I’ll behave!" Sky replied. Brandon nodded and looked at me again, prompting me to get up from my seat. "Don’t worry about us. I’m just going to agree with Margot. They are at the mall with her kids, and it’s time for Sky to meet her cousins," I explained. "Alright. Just call me if you need anything. I have to go for now," he said. After Brandon left, I immediately called Margot. She arranged for her driver to pick us up from the park, and thankfully, the mall wasn’t far away. Sky and I waited just a few minutes, and s

pourings right. I really look like Sky," I said, smiling as I looked at the pictures. I browsed through the images and videos, and I couldn't help but smile. "How did you know Mom told you that?" Bettina asked, chuckling softly. "Mom showed me a few times in my dreams. Maybe that's what happens when you're on the brink of death," I said with a shrug. I felt happy that I could still connect with my mother in that way. Even if it was just in dreams, it felt right. I tried to be strong until, three days later, I finally left the hospital. Since I woke up, I've been searching for Dad, but I haven't seen him. Bettina told me that Dad visited me every day while I was unconscious. I want to talk to him. I'm grateful for the second chance at life that I've been given, and I want to tell Dad that I have forgiven him. Holding onto hate will serve no purpose. Now that my daughter and I are together, I want to create a good, drama-free environment for her. All I want is a peaceful li

"I was just hurt because I felt like you hadn't lost your love for that woman—" I cut her off because I didn’t have time to listen to her excuses. "I came here to tell you that the Del Real family is continuing the case against you. So if you need help, it's not from me," I told her. "No! You’re going to help me, aren’t you? You’re not going to leave me here, right, Brandon?" she insisted. I shook my head and looked straight at her. "You traumatized my daughter, and you almost killed her. Do you really think I would help you again? If you hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t be in this position. Now, you need to face the consequences. You’ve made your own fate," I replied. I stood up from my seat and turned to leave. Even though I could hear her calling my name over and over, I ignored her. For five years, George and I had a strong friendship. She had always been there to help me with Sky, but when Z returned, her behavior changed. I didn’t understand her jealousy, especially s

I didn't even look at Brandon because I was in a hurry to go inside. I'm not afraid if they can catch me there because I can fight with them. Even though I heard Brandon repeatedly calling me, I ignored him. I turned around the whole house until I saw a ladder, which looked like the only way to climb there. I took a deep breath and prepared myself. The hallway above was spacious, and there were four rooms,, so I didn't know where George was, but I could hear the kid crying. A door opened, and I almost rushed to the side when I saw a man. I stood on the edge of the wall so he couldn't see me, and as he passed in front of me,, I kicked him with my foot. The man was shocked, and he immediately attacked me, but I fought back against him. His body is so big that his energy is more potent than mine. "Ahh!" I cried as he kicked me in the stomach. I could almost hold my stomach while I was in pain. Before I could recover, he kicked me again, causing me to fall down. I was al
