Mrs. Ferrer was horrified after learning the news, almost lost her consciousness but good thing her ever reliable butler was there to help her. Felipe fanned her face as he ordered to bring a glass of water. She finally calmed down after drinking the glass of water afterwards.“What? Not again! The poor child…” Shaina looked hurt about this unprecedented news.Keith, on the other hand, wanted to make an uproar but chose to calm himself even if it’s the hardest thing to do. He turned both hands into a tight fist as he gritted his teeth in controlled anger. He just wanted to rush into the scene and find whoever took Amanda away. Now that they lost the lead, it’ll be hard to search for someone who hadn’t left even a single trace.He felt lost but he could never give up now. Not now when she’s clearly in need of his saving.“I want to know how did this happened,” Mrs. Ferrer hastily inquired. “Isn’t she with Richard?”“Or did Richard kidnap Amanda?”“Mom, please don’t say that,” Sarah loo
Ricardo was standing at the side of the window of his study room while watching the garden from above. The garden full of flowers and greens was the favorite place of his late wife, Ruth. But then he never sees his wife's image at the moment. Ricardo was thinking entirely of someone else. Someone that could put shame to the memories of his late wife.He never learned to love the mother of his children as his heart was already owned by someone else. And probably Ruth knew that from the longest time. He had been transparent to her, only the name of the woman he loved was one thing he couldn’t disclose out of consideration. If Ruth will learn who she is, their relationship will come to an end.Yes, he’s in love, madly in love with another woman and that’s not his wife. Let’s just say he married her just so he could get near to the one that he loved the most.Even after all these years, he’s still the one who holds his heart. Many women came after Ruth, all were just his bed warmers and n
Shaina felt that the longer she waited for their arrival would cause her unforeseen death. While it's true that it's an exaggeration, she can't control the emotions that keep rising inside of her. It's hard to maintain a strong front in front of her innocent grandchildren while her mind is somewhere, praying for everyone to come back alive.She knew that Keith will take care of the rest and will bring back her daughter safe and sound. However, as a mother she can't be blamed to feel that way knowing that one of their feet is on impending death. Shaina feared that she would not see her daughter again. May the heavens forbid that to happen as she hadn't even told the truth to Amanda.She was restless from morning till the day came dawn. Good thing Sarah was there to look after the kids. Her daughter was the one who put them to sleep.She's at her favorite spot in the garden when Sarah approached her. Sarah looked bothered by something else."Mom—""Not now, Sarah," Shaina heaved a deep
She didn’t ask about it. She just trusted Keith and his words. After all, even if fate had made a way to ruin them, they are still here together.They both didn’t say anything after that incident. It felt like they had come to understanding to give themselves another chance of a lifetime—mind, body and soul. No words needed and they embrace themselves as if they have finally known the true meaning of having someone who would risk their life for you. And that was Keith for her. He didn't have to but he did all for the sake of love.That should be love right? But she will not tell him unless he tells her first those three words she’s been dying to hear. She’ll not be the same Amanda from several years ago that will fall to him just because he did all sorts of things. She would want some affirmation, some affection of love and some guarantee that what they had was not something fleeting that would be gone in a blink of an eye.“I know you are worried,” Keith caught her attention and reac
Amanda came home late that night. She visited her parents who live in the next town. Since she became a married woman, she seldom sees them. It’s been a long time since she had a good conversation with her father and tasted the fine cooking of her mother. She would love to stay for more hadn’t she known that her husband was waiting for her at the comfort of their home.She was about to park the car in their garage when a new message popped out on her phone. The message came from the hospital. She had recently got a pregnancy test and they’ll email the report when it’s ready.The anticipation almost killed her, Amanda immediately maneuvered the car inside and checked the report. Her hands were shaking as she zoomed in the pdf file to see it more clearly. And she almost cried in joy as she read the final result.She is pregnant!Three years ago, Amanda married Keith Harris, her crush in her college days. He’d been the star player of their basketball team back in those days. He’s out of
Keith had been busy with the business since he took over the KH Development Group. He’s now the current CEO and President of his family’s legacy. He’d been working non-stop to prove to his grandfather that he was the right man for the position. That he didn’t only acquire it just because he married his now wife, Amanda.He was not supposed to marry his now wife. At that time, Keith had loved only one woman and that was his last girlfriend, Sarah. But she chose to move one, leaving him alone and heartbroken. A simple letter had ended their relationship.Goodbye, Keith. I need to leave you…He was devastated that he became rebellious. Keith had become a frequent guest in the bar and ended up drunk all the way home. His grandfather was displeased by his behavior but he was unstoppable. He even brought women to his bed. Yet of all the women he brought home, his grandfather saw him naked with Amanda.Right there and then, his grandfather decided that they’ll be married at all cost. And he
Amanda wakes up in the middle of the night looking for Keith.She had the worst nightmare. Keith had accused her of infidelity and decided right there and then that their marriage was over. That a divorce paper was waiting for her to sign. That he left her without hearing her explain her side.And for the first time, she felt helpless and all alone.She could never do that to him. It never crossed her mind to betray her husband. Amanda believes in the sanctity of marriage. And she vowed in front of him and God to be his faithful wife for the rest of their lives.But instead of seeing the face of her husband, the worried look of her friend Alma became clearer in her eyes.Then it dawned on her that everything she’d dreamed of earlier was her reality. That Keith was determined to get rid of her in his life.“Good thing you are finally awake,” Alma held her hand as she sighed in relief. She then helped her drink some water to stay hydrated. “You didn’t know how scared I was when you sudd
Amanda reached for the life inside her belly. While staring at the two worst people in her life, she was talking to her little angel to hold on. Just hold on, they'll get through this soon. And that he or she will never get the same treatment from the one who caused her so much pain and humiliation.Keith had already made a choice. And Amanda thought even if she bled right there and then to gain even the slightest attention from him, it would be nonsense. Her husband had stood beside her ex-girlfriend while looking down at her.Pathetic. She felt pathetic at the moment. It was true that the unbearable scene before her eyes had shattered not just her heart but also her hopes and dreams for their family. She was beyond ready to give it her all just so she can have her family back. She just wants to be heard, to be understood. But Keith had already closed the doors.What’s the purpose of all the pain, the heartbreaks and the humiliation? Ah, Amanda thought of the small child growing insi
