A Forbidden Night with a Stranger (English) Special Chapter 3
AMIDST all the quiet, steady good fortune unfolding in their lives, a long-overdue new chapter finally began. Alas had grown into a widely respected name in the business world, with a stable, loving family of his own and a reputation for sharp, visionary leadership in marketing and technology. Janus, too, had built a thriving career as a successful real estate developer, with a happy home and a wife he adored in Shirley. Most surprising of all, the two men had rekindled their old friendship, letting go of the bitter rivalry their fathers had forced on them for decades. And it was that renewed bond between Alas and Janus that finally pushed Eduardo Dela Merzcid and Theodore Domingo to face the years of resentment they had buried deep inside.Theodore Domingo was in his sixties now, his hair almost entirely white, the deep lines on his face maps of every hard-won lesson and bitter regret he had carried through life. But in his eyes, there was a new, soft peace—shadowed, still, by the he

THE day after Janus and Shirley’s wedding, something felt different to Brenda. It wasn’t just the giddy, fluttery excitement of a new connection; it was a quiet, settled certainty that she was finally ready to close old doors and step into a whole new chapter. She and Arthur had agreed to meet at a small, upscale restaurant in Makati—one of Brenda’s long-time favorites, known for its warm modern vibe and creative Filipino fusion dishes.Brenda arrived in a simple but elegant black dress that hugged her figure perfectly, her hair swept back in soft waves. She spotted Arthur already seated at a quiet corner table, and he stood immediately the second he saw her, pulling out her chair with a warm, easy smile.“Brenda, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Truly. That dress was made for you.”A faint blush rose on her cheeks as she sat down, smiling back. “You’re not so bad yourself, Arthur. Very dapper. Thank you—for this, for dinner.” She wasn’t used to this kind of gentle, intentional

THE quaint garden venue hummed with joy, the air sweet and heady with the scent of sampaguita garlands strung between the trees. It was a day for celebration—proof that love could outlast any storm, that second chances really did exist. Janus and Shirley were finally getting married. Yna and Alas walked in hand in hand, grinning so wide their cheeks ached. Yna, elegant in a soft floral dress, squeezed Alas’s arm gently. “Look at them, Alas. Shirley is glowing… and Janus? I’ve never seen him look that genuinely happy in my life.” Alas, handsome in a crisp tailored barong, smiled down at her. “It’s a good thing to see, my love. They’ve earned this. All those years they all led right here.” As they found their seats, they spotted Brenda weaving through the crowd, stunning in a floor-length deep emerald gown that brought out the warmth in her skin. She caught their eye and waved, hurrying over with a bright, unguarded smile. “Yna! Alas! I’m so glad you two made it. Can you believe th

ONE month to the day since they’d brought Amelie home from the hospital, the Dela Merzcid house was wrapped in the soft, honeyed gold of late afternoon. The air smelled of Yna’s slow-simmered sinigang and the ube crinkles she’d baked that morning, drifting down the hallway from the kitchen to the nursery, where the only sounds were a baby’s breathy giggles and a man’s very silly, very committed rendition of peek-a-boo. “Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!” Alas cooed, leaning over the white wooden crib he’d built himself with his own two hands, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his work tie discarded in a crumpled heap on the rocking chair. He’d left the office two hours early that day, claiming an “emergency family matter” — which, as far as he was concerned, was entirely true: he’d missed Amelie’s morning nap smile, and he refused to miss her evening one too. Every time he ducked behind the crib rail and popped back up with his eyes crossed and his tongue sticking out, their daughter shrie

MONTHS later, Yna woke up with a sharp gasp, her back arching off the mattress as a low, cramping pain coiled tight through her lower belly, stealing all the air from her lungs. She fumbled in the dark, shaking Alas’s shoulder hard enough to jolt him awake. “Alas — wake up. My tummy hurts. I think… I think it’s time. Bring me to the hospital — ouch!” She pressed both hands to her very large, very round belly, her fingers splayed over the tight curve of it, breathing in short, sharp gasps through the contraction that had her whole body tensing. Alas was out of bed in half a second, his hair sticking up in a wild black tuft on end, his eyes wide with pure, unadulterated panic. He tripped over the edge of the comforter, nearly face-planting into the rug, and knocked over the full glass of water on his nightstand, which soaked straight through his ratty old Malaya Village t-shirt — the one with the hole in the elbow he refused to throw away. He didn’t even notice. He didn’t know what to

WHEN the last guest hugged them goodbye and the final chord of their first dance faded, confetti still clung to Yna’s hair and the hem of her gown trailed crushed rose petals behind them. Alas didn’t drive them to the glass-walled penthouse the wedding planner had booked months before—the one with the infinity pool overlooking the bay and silk sheets scattered with a thousand fresh red roses. Instead, he turned onto a narrow, tree-lined road uphill, toward the city’s oldest cemetery, tucked between ancient acacia trees on a bluff where Manila Bay spread below like crushed silver under the first pricks of starlight. The car still smelled like her jasmine bouquet and his pine cologne; his palm was still slightly sweaty, marked with faint half-moon indentations from gripping hers so tight through the vows. Yna blinked, shifting in the passenger seat and wiggling her sore toes—she’d kicked off her satin heels ten minutes earlier, bare feet propped on the dashboard, her new gold wedding b
