She broke his heart and made sure the sin she committed was beyond redemption. When fate brings them together again, will Ethan find it in his heart to forgive Allison?

"Let me clean up so you and your suitor can have some privacy," she continued, taking away the dishes."Thanks for the privacy, Ky! What do you want as a reward, in kind or cash?" Ethan chimed in, playfully."You've already paid enough, bro," Kyla said with a sincere smile before leaving them alone.The three of them knew what Kyla meant. With Ethan’s love for her, her mother, and sister alone was worth far more than any payment. He was family.Ethan smiled at her. The kind of smile that made her fall for him repeatedly. Even though he was already her husband, whenever he looked at her, Ally still felt butterflies in her stomach.She still felt giddy even though she knew his eyes were only for her, as if she was the most beautiful in his eyes."I’m not going to ask if you left anything behind," she rolled her eyes playfully. "I t
"Mr. E, here are the reports you asked me to prepare," Michael said as he followed him into his office right upon his arrival."Has Ms. Reyes called yet?" Ethan asked while opening his laptop."Yes, Sir. They’ve already found a match for Angel. Right now, they are determining the best time to perform the operation.""That's good. But what's taking them so long? Put Yanah on the phone," he said, slightly pleased but also a bit irritated by the delay."Yes, Mr. E." Michael immediately complied with his request.A few minutes later, Yanah was on the line."Mr. Montenegro, don't worry. Everything is fine," she said immediately."Ms. Reyes, you know that Angel’s case is very close to me. I want you to do everything you can to save her," he said gently.When he returned to the shelter, he looked for the child who introduced God to him. He found out that she was there by herself. Since she was an orphan and had fallen ill, she was left at the shelter by her mother's sibling.Since then, he h
He had so many plans for their future together. When Ethan met Ally, he knew she would play a significant part in his life. He tried to just be friends with her, but in the end, he couldn't help but deepen their relationship.He was happy. They were happy. They loved each other sincerely. So when Ally left him and said that it was only his wealth she was after and that she never truly loved him, he was deeply hurt.He couldn’t accept it because he thought Ally was the only true thing that had ever happened to him. So he felt betrayed and used. He believed that Ally had sold their love for twenty million.It was a mistake that Ethan regretted deeply. That was the turning point in their relationship. If he had fought and seen the truth behind Ally's lies, everything might have turned out differently.But what could he do now? Every doctor he spoke to advised him to let go of the woman he loved. That he should just let her rest.But every part of him couldn’t let her go. He wasn't ready.
"Look at you, you're so beautiful, Allison," Shanna said happily as they both looked at her reflection in the mirror. She had prepared Ally for her wedding to Ethan that day. Just a few days after his proposal, they were already getting married.Ally wore a simple white dress, comfortable yet presentable for a wedding. Even though the event was private, her groom was still the gorgeous billionaire, Ethan Montenegro. It would have been unfair to him if she didn’t make some effort to look nice, considering her condition.She was thankful to God for allowing her to live until this day. Just waking up that morning was enough for her. Despite feeling weak and aching everywhere, she kept it to herself.Today was supposed to be happy, and she was indeed very happy. She didn’t want to spoil the mood by revealing her discomfort. She was marrying Ethan Montenegro, which should be enough to overshadow her physical pains.“Thanks,” she managed to smile.“Ally, everyone’s waiting upstairs,” Kyla
Ally never expected Ethan to take his proposal seriously again, especially with a ring in hand. But this was Ethan Montenegro—whatever he says, he will do. The hardest part for her was receiving a marriage proposal when she was on the brink of death. She didn’t deserve it, especially when she felt so close to the end. Each day seemed dimmer; she knew it, she could feel it.Ethan didn’t deserve to marry someone who might die at any moment. He deserved someone who could grow old with him, not someone who felt like she was just waiting for the final signature to her departure. She couldn’t bring herself to hurt Ethan like that.‘Come on, Allison. Give him some credit. He’s not thinking about that. He just wants to marry you. And if you pass away before the marriage is registered, it’s not the end of the world,’ her mind argued.It wasn’t wrong to grant his request. It wasn’t wrong to let herself and Ethan be happy for whatever time was left. It wouldn’t be selfish to marry him, right? Ev
“Ally, did you know that this woman is already engaged? She didn’t even give us a heads-up! If Mr. Montenegro hadn’t asked, she wouldn’t have bothered inviting us to her wedding!”“Michael!” Kattie scolded, her eyes wide at their male friend.Allison laughed. Even though they were just on a video call, Kattie’s blush was clearly visible.“Is it true, Kattie?” Allison asked, genuinely excited.Kattie had always been known more for her love of books than for having a boyfriend. Who would have thought that just a few years after graduation, she’d already be engaged?“Well, it’s not exactly like that,” Kattie explained. “The situation is different. I’d be deported if I don’t marry my friend here.”“Hmm, illegal stay?” Allison guessed.Their friend was currently in America.“Not entirely—”“So, when’s the wedding?” Allison changed the subject. She didn’t want to embarrass her friend. “We need to watch it, okay? Even if it’s just online like this.”“Of course, Ally! Michael and I have alrea
“She was in and out of consciousness last night, Mr. Montenegro. And today, she’s not waking up yet. It’s almost past two PM.”Ethan nearly sped his car to the shelter.He was in the middle of an important meeting when Yanah called. Just seeing her name flash on his silent cellphone had sent his heart racing. He let his phone ring while abruptly wrapping up the meeting. He lost focus and fervently hoped nothing bad had happened to Allison while he wasn’t by her side.And now, Yanah’s words felt like a knife twisting in his heart.“Please, be well, Ally,” he whispered as his vision blurred while he drove well past the speed limit.He just hoped he wouldn’t get pulled over. Just this once. He needed to be beside Ally immediately.“Wait for me, please…”When he arrived, he almost ran to her room. The tightness in his chest was palpable as he saw her sitting on the bed while talking to Yanah. The inexplicable joy of seeing her like this made him tear up.He calmed himself and dried his te
“Mama,” he called to get his mother’s attention, who was standing near the glass wall of his office.Andrea Montenegro turned around and gave him a reserved, cold smile. Sometimes, he wondered if his mother even knew how to be a mother.She lacked any warmth.“What brought you here?” he asked.“Is that how you welcome your mother, son?”He felt like rolling his eyes. She was the one lacking emotion upon seeing him.“I’m just asking, Ma.” He approached Andrea and kissed her cheek.That simple gesture surprised his mother, though her expression only changed momentarily.“Well, I felt obliged to pay you a visit,” Andrea said as she took a seat, not breaking eye contact with him. “A Director raised a concern that you’re always unreachable. What’s going on, Ethan?”“Are you asking me, Mama, because you don’t know yet? Or do you need confirmation?” He knew her well enough to understand that she likely already knew why and who had been occupying his time.“Why are you not listening to your m
“Have those two not developed feelings for each other yet?” Ally asked, amused, as she watched Leio and Shanna joking around with other patients at the shelter.“Well, about that, I’m not sure I want to entrust my cousin to Leio,” Ethan said, affectionately adjusting the way her head rested on his shoulder.“Why not? Isn’t Leio your friend? One of your two best friends, actually.”“Yes. And so I know how he treats women. I don’t want my cousin to end up on his list. You know, Shanna is very dear to me. She’s like my sister,” he explained.“It’s not like there’s a zero possibility that Leio will change,” Ally said, chuckling a bit. “I still think they look good together.”“Ah, don’t encourage them!” The man laughed a little. “On a serious note, if those two do end up liking each other, I think it would be fine. Shanna is being picky. She doesn’t seem to like any of her admirers.”“Maybe Leio is actually the right one for her.”“If Shanna hears you, you’re in trouble,” Ethan joked.“I’v
