Daddy, Stop Mommy's Wedding
Five years ago, billionaire Gavinn Lucero's bachelor party ended with one reckless mistake; a single night with a mysterious exotic dancer named Shelly. By morning, she was gone, and both of them believed it was nothing more than a fleeting encounter destined to be forgotten.
They were wrong.
Today, Gavinn is the untouchable Golden Boy of the business world and a happy married life. Shelly, on the other hand, has built a peaceful life as the owner of a thriving bakery while raising her brilliant five-year-old son, Gabriel.
There's just one problem. Gabriel is Gavinn Lucero's exact copy. From the striking eyes and sharp features to an intelligence far beyond his years, the boy carries the unmistakable mark of the father he has never met.
When fate brings Gavinn into Shelly's bakery, buried secrets begin clawing their way back to the surface. A long-hidden accident, dangerous lies, and a scandal powerful enough to destroy reputations threaten to unravel everything they have built.
But while the adults are busy hiding the truth, Gabriel has a mission of his own.
After meeting Gavinn, the clever little boy becomes convinced that his mother is about to make the biggest mistake of her life. Determined to stop her upcoming wedding, Gabriel secretly recruits the last person anyone would expect; Gavinn himself.
Now, a billionaire who never knew he had a son and a five-year-old mastermind must join forces to uncover the truth before it's too late. As old wounds reopen and forbidden feelings resurface, Gavinn and Shelly are forced to confront the question they have spent years avoiding:
Was their unforgettable night merely a mistake. Or the beginning of a love story that was never meant to end?

Chapter: Chapter 7Samantala, nakahandos ang dalawang kamay ni Shelly sa base ng cake box habang pilit na pinapanatili ang balanse sa loob ng umaandar na elevator. Ika-118th floor ang pupuntahan niya. One hundred eighteen levels of pure, unadulterated torture. Ding! Bumukas ang pinto sa 55th floor. Pumasok ang tatlong lalaking naka-corporate attire na may bitbit na mga folders. Napilitang umurong si Shelly sa sulok, maingat na niyayakap ang premium cake box na para bang doon nakasalalay ang buong prangkisa ng Shelly’s Cake Corner. "Excuse me po, paki-ingatan ang box," pakiusap niya, pinipilit panatilihin ang kanyang hyper-polished customer-service smile kahit na nangangatal na ang kanyang mga braso. Ding! Bumukas na naman sa 62nd floor. Isang grupo naman ng mga interns ang sumabay. "Shet naman," bulong niya sa sarili. "Kung alam ko lang na ganito katagal ang traffic paakyat sa rurok ng Lucero Prime Holdings, sana ay nagdalawang-isip na ako. Pero wala akong choice. It was a mandatory

Chapter: Chapter 6Nanatiling nakatitig si Gabriel sa picture frame ni Gavinn na hawak niya, pabalik-balik ang tingin niya rito at sa sarili niyang iPad screen. Talagang kino-compare niya ang mga similarities bawat angle. "Ma'am, let's look at this objectively. Why is your son and I a literal carbon copy? All our features are identical. In physics and genetics, random mutations don't just replicate an exact blueprint from thirty years ago without a structural link." Natawa nang mahina si Doña Fatima. Pero sa loob-loob niya, unti-unti nang nagwawala ang kanyang gut instinct. Upang itago ang kakaibang intuition na nabubuo sa kanyang utak, idinaan niya muna ito sa biro. "Well, little man. Maybe, it's because you two share the exact same blood." Hindi nagbago ang seryosong expression ni Gabriel. Sa halip, pinasingkit niya ang mga mata niya, mabilis na pina-process ang sinabi ng Doña na parang isang top strategist na nag-aanalyze ng isang business loophole na may matatalas na calculation. "If we

Chapter: Chapter 5Kinakabahan si Shelly habang nakasunod sa likod ng matangkad at eleganteng si Doña Fatima. Wala siyang magagawa; ang aura ng Doña ay hindi nagbibigay ng opsyon para tumanggi. Ramdam niya ang bawat tibok ng puso niya na parang gustong kumawala sa kanyang dibdib. Habang naglalakad sila sa corridor, palihim siyang lumapit kay Gabriel. "Gabriel, anak," pabulong na sabi ni Shelly, ang boses ay nanginginig sa kaba. "Please, mag-behave ka lang sa loob. Huwag mo siyang babarahin, okay? Pakiusap. Idedeliver lang natin ang cake, tapos babalikan kita agad. Huwag kang pasaway, please." Tumigil si Gabriel sa paglalakad at tinignan ang kanyang ina nang seryoso, bagaman may halong pagkadismaya sa kanyang mga mata. "Mom, my communication style is professional. Stop worrying about my behavioral output. I can handle this." "Gabriel, please..." pagmamakaawa ni Shelly, ramdam ang bigat ng sitwasyon. "Just for today. Stay in the corner, don't talk back. Iiwan muna kita here, okay? I'll be back. Okay?"

Chapter: Chapter 4Habang binabaybay ni Shelly ang abalang highway patungo sa sentro ng business district, abala siya sa pagsagot sa tawag ni Richard sa hands-free system ng kanyang sasakyan. "I'll be home in two days, babe." masayang balita ni Richard sa kabilang linya. "I can't wait to see you and Gabriel. Sobrang excited na ako, parang hindi na ako makapaghintay na tawagin ka nang Mrs. Castillo." Ramdam ni Shelly ang init sa kanyang pisngi dahil sa excitement ni Richard, pero agad din siyang napatingin sa rear-view mirror nang makita ang reflection ng kanyang anak. "I already finalized the details for the final fitting of your gown," patuloy ni Richard, puno ng kagalakan. "Sigurado akong magmumukha kang dyosa sa araw na 'yun. Everything is falling into place, Shelly. Konting tiis na lang, magiging official na tayo." Sa passenger seat, agad na kumunot ang noo ni Gabriel. Ang kanyang mga maliliit na kamay ay mahigpit na nakakapit sa seatbelt, at ang kanyang mga mata ay naniningkit habang nakatingin

Chapter: Chapter 3“Gabriel, naghihintay ang mga customers sa labas,” awat ni Shelly sabay hila sa bata papalayo kay Gavinn, desperately trying to control the situation before her entire life collapsed right then and there. Gabriel sighed, adjusting his tiny denim jacket. “I'm sorry, Mom. But this dude was low-key delaying our transaction queue." Tumingin siya ulit kay Gavinn. "Excuse me again, sir. You were actively intervening with the efficiency of our operations. Time is money.” With that final mic-drop, Gabriel casually pushed his utility cart straight toward the alfresco area of the café, nag-iiwan ng trail of squeaks sa bawat hakbang niya para lang i-serve ang mga orders sa naghihintay na customers. “So,” bulong ni Gavinn. Hinay-hinay siyang sumandal sa counter, just as his intense gaze was locking onto Shelly like a predator cornering its prey. “You're the mommy.” Lalong nagwala ang tibok ng puso ni Shelly, but she still forced a complete hyper-polished customer-service smile bago hinarap s

Chapter: Chapter 2It was a busy Tuesday afternoon sa Shelly’s Cake Corner. The café was packed of freshly baked premium cakes and brownies, and Shelly was currently in the zone. Naka-apron siyang may kaunting bahid ng flour at icing sugar, busy sa paghahanda ng mga orders. At that moment, malabong-malabo nang makita ni Shelly ang naka-cat woman sa penthouse ng Luxoir Tower five years ago. She finally secured the bag, at higit sa lahat, nagbagong-buhay siya nang marangal at ngayon ay proud owner na siya ng sarili niyang artisan cake shop. “Gabriel, anak, please don’t eat those fondant stars. Pang-toppings yan sa mga cupcakes natin,” saway ni Shelly habang busy sa pag-pipe ng buttercream sa isang cupcake. “I know what I'm doing, Mommy. Hindi ko sila kinakain. I’m quality-checking,” seryosong sagot ng limang taong gulang na bata. Si Gabriel. Gabriel was her greatest plot twist, at ang nagpapatunay na malakas talaga ang genetics ng mga Lucero, walang duda kung saan talaga ito nagmana. At kahit lim
