As expected, Jane's wedding was a success. It was attended by wealthy businessmen and personalities belonging to their social circle. Present also were their friends and relatives from both families. Her cousin, who was her maid of honor looked amazingly gorgeous that day, making lots of men turn their heads. Some guests were gutsy enough to compare the cousins where the bride failed in comparison with her cousin. Nonetheless, the atmosphere created was good enough to make the wedding one of the finest ever held during that year. A toast was given to the couple hoping for a blissful life together.
Most of the guests stayed and enjoyed the magnificent food and wine that were served to them. Chicken dishes, beluga caviar, lobster, seafood of different varieties, steaks were some of the food that was served to the visitors. The newlyweds were a picture of happiness throughout the ceremony, being given blessings and toasts on all corners of the hall. "Lo
Two weeks before the anticipated wedding of Cassandra and Greg, Amelia had never been busy as before. She had been checking on the guests' list, the reception area which will be held at a luxurious hotel, the restaurant, the souvenirs, the ten-foot-tall cake, and other things that would definitely be needed for a successful wedding. She even booked a flight to an island country for the couple where they are going to spend their honeymoon. All seemed to run smoothly as she intends to. For her, only a blissful life is waiting for her only daughter - the one thing that matters to her. She was surprised when she received a call from her daughter, wanting to talk to her. They agreed to meet after working hours at their favorite restaurant. Dressed in a simple black and white shirt paired with dark grey pants and wearing sneakers, Cassandra looked very pretty and gorgeous but something seemed to bother her mother because her eyes looked sad and there was s
As a young and talented lawyer, Imman made friends with a lot of his clients including Mr. Daniel Ruiz, hotel and restaurant magnate. He even employed him as his family's personal attorney. Impressed by his court trial records, the chairman made known to the lawyer that he wanted to set him up with his own daughter, which, he politely declined, reminding him that personal matters must not be entwined with business matters. Chairman Ruiz, a sturdy and chubby middle-aged man of fifty-two, who had been balding since two years ago, just laughed every time the lawyer declined his offer of marrying his daughter. He believed that the young man is perfect for his only child and that having him as a son-in-law would help him more in running the company, though, in one of their conversations, the attorney already mentioned that he had come from a poor family and his father was an ex-convict. The chairman, who, on that occasion was a little tipsy, told the lawy
The wedding of Imman and Daniella was attended by wealthy businessmen, most of them came from the hotel and resorts industry. Even the chairman of the Agustin Food and Beverages Company was invited along with his wife and niece who was heavy with her first child. Congratulations were given to the couple, wishing them the best of luck and happiness in their marriage. Imman greeted all the guests warmly, even the father of his former girlfriend. "I'm glad you are enjoying the party, sir! It's been a while since I saw you. Let me introduce you personally to my wife." Daniella, who was busy entertaining other visitors was signaled by her husband to come and greet one of their guests, which, none other than chairman Agustin, who behaved extremely well in front of the bride, but when they were left alone, he whispered to the lawyer, "My daughter is way prettier than her, but I could not blame you for marrying her, she is damned r
Cassandra's life abroad has been full of loneliness and misery. Being rich did not help her be exempted from sufferings that had occupied her life for seven long years. Not a day did she not remember her first love, the father of her child, not a day without looking back at the days that she had been happy with him - she missed him so much and she was thankful when one day, she received a call from her mother, informing her to come back, as her father's request. It was only the day when she returned home that she had known that the person whom she terribly missed, got married to a billionaire's daughter. How she cried that day inside her room, hiding the tears from her parents and from her son. Words are not enough to describe the pain that pierced her heart. Her son, Elijah, at six years old is a smart and witty kid, grew up with the care and love of his mother. He once asked his mother about his father and Cassandra had to lie by saying that his fa
Chaotic as his life is, the lawyer resolved not to add more problems that would only make him and the people around him more miserable. In his mind, he had to see his son more often and hope that he will be acknowledged by his son as soon as possible. It is not easy for him not to think of the little child, and not think of his mother too. After all, she had given birth to him, loving him unconditionally, and giving him the nicest thing a mother could possibly give. The lawsuit against Chairman Ruiz didn't get further, for the victims of the family settled down amicably. It was known that the chairman paid each of them enough money, to silence them. Although he knew this is sure to happen, he still had been trying to gather some evidence about the abuses against the workers under the supervision of the said chairman. Regarding his son, he once called his mother to tell him that when he had done some works at his office, he would like to meet him at the park where they could play his
Coming home was never as fun or as exciting as it was before he met his former girlfriend and his son. It seemed like some heavy loads were weighing him down. Nonetheless, he had to show his face to his wife and live with her. He was glad when he arrived and found out that his wife was not at home, making him feel more relaxed. As his habit of not going to sleep early, he went to his library and took a book to read. Glancing at his watch, he saw that it was eleven o'clock at night, and still, not a sign of his wife. Half an hour passed, he heard the creaking sound of the door and saw his wife coming in. She curtseyed at him, not saying any word, and went to her room. They have been sleeping separately after the unexpected incident at the beach. She, in her room, laid her body on the soft bed, trying hard not to think of the changes that had suddenly occurred in their lives. They were once a happy couple, with so much anticipation of the future, but now, no
Daniella woke up from her sleep to a telephone call coming from a police officer. She got up quickly when she heard that her father was involved in an accident. Hurrying up to the police station, she forgot to call her husband to inform him about what had happened to her father. She, at that time, had no clue whatsoever, of the name of the victim, knowing only that the victim was a young child who almost died because of his father's negligence. Chairman Ruiz was sitting on the chair, along with the officers who were questioning him, when suddenly, Elijah's grandfather came and threatened to put him behind bars. Daniella, who also came afterward, kissed her dad and assured him that everything will be alright and he just need to trust her and her husband.Chairman Ruiz, who left the office did not go back home but instead went to the station to see the old gentleman who hit his grandson with his car. The accused only bowed his head, kept his cool, a
No case was filed against chairman Ruiz. After a week at the hospital and after different kinds of testing were done on the young boy and the doctors' assurance, he was allowed to go home but was instructed that he had to come to the hospital to check his progress. Before going home, he was visited by his aunt, Jane who was glad to see him well again. "I'm so happy to see you going home, Elijah! Your cousin is waiting for you to play with him again." Jane said to the kid, who was busily putting his toys back in his backpack. Cassandra, meanwhile, was on the phone talking to Imman, who was on his way to the hospital to take them home. "Auntie, do you know that my dad is coming today? He is going to play with me now and Billy could join us if he wants" said the excited child who was smiling and laughing, waiting for his dad. "Jane, can we talk outside?" Cassandra asked her cousin after s
