"Allison!" Shanna hugged her tightly. She burst into tears, causing everyoneโs surprise. To give them privacy, Bea allowed them to leave the event first.Ally had no choice. She wanted to appear strong in front of Ethan's cousin, who had become a real friend to her in a short time, but tears were the only response she could give to Shannaโs childlike crying.Right. Besides her family and Ethan, she also hurt Shanna when she suddenly disappeared from their lives. Probably Zion and Leio too, not to mention Kattie and Michael.God, how selfish and cruel had she been? What kind of friend was she?"Ally, Iโm so glad to see you again!" Shanna held her hands while still sobbing. "I searched for you, did you know? I didnโt believe Ethan. I knew you wouldnโt leave without a serious reason. And I was right.""I'm sorry," Ally apologized. Shanna deserved her apology. She shouldnโt have included her from the people she chose to leave. But at that time, cutting everyone off from her life made se

Shanna became a regular visitor to Ally. Since learning about her situation, she made it a point to visit her to chat and lift her spirits. She also made a significant contribution to the shelter. And when Ally suddenly had trouble with a sponsor, Shanna volunteered to step in, even though Ally initially didnโt want to.But Shanna insisted. Ally allowed it, because whether she admitted it or not, she needed help. Even if it was just to extend her life a little bit longer, even if it meant her friend was throwing away her money. "I visited Auntie and Ky," Shanna said. She even took on the responsibility for her family. "How are they?" Ally asked."They're okay. Auntie is improving. In fact, sheโs able to move around the house now. And Ky, her grades are really high. Sheโs making us proud," Shanna replied. Ally tried to smile. But the truth was, she wanted to cry. She missed her family. She felt like she had failed them. She hadnโt achieved any of their dreams. She was a failure. S

"Do you want to tell me something, Ethan?"Shanna followed him as he stepped outside. He rested his arms on the glass railings of the third floor. From above, he could see what was happening in the bar below. He and his friends didn't mingle with strangers. They werenโt regular bar-goers. They only turned their private booth into a hideout."I feel like you have something you want to say but youโre hesitant," his cousin said, joining him. "Spill it, Ethan. Don't keep me guessing.""In this place, Shanna?" He asked. They couldnโt even hear each other clearly.Besides, if he were to talk to her, it wouldnโt be now when he had no proof of her mishandling the companyโs money."Why not?" Just then, a bar attendant passed by them. "Hey, excuse me, give us a booth, please?""One moment, Ms. Montenegro," the attendant responded.He looked at his cousin.Shanna had grown up close to him. Among all his relatives, she was the only one he had a close bond with.Shanna wasnโt the only child of hi

He was only abroad for three days, but Ethan felt like he had been gone for three months, given the pile of work awaiting him.Andrea was disappointed that he treated New York like a province due to the short trip. When he and Felicity arrived, it was already his motherโs birthday. Then, the next day, they left. Moreover, why would they stay longer if Andrea didnโt even manage to smile at Felicity, even if it was just a fake smile? His poor girlfriend had been nervous the entire time.Ethan even had jet lag from the rapid time zone changes. But he still went to the office. He was never one to take a meaningless rest when he had more important work to do. Thatโs how his wealth was built. Thatโs how one distances oneself from past events that couldnโt be changed.Another reason he chose not to rest was Michaelโs message that the investigation into Shanna had results.He couldnโt understand it, but he had a bad feeling about what he was about to learn. What had Shanna done this time? Was

"Shanna!" Allison didn't hide the disappointment in her voice at what her friend had said.Ethan was there with her. But he hadn't entered her room yet because Shanna was still asking for her permission."I'm sorry, Ally. I know I promised you," Shanna said gently, apologizing. "But believe me, you and Ethan need this. You have to let go of the pain in your heart.""You donโt understand!" Allison insisted. She didn't want to get angry with Shanna, but she was upset that Shanna disrespected her request not to tell Ethan about her condition. "I have my reasons, Shanna! And theyโre valid. Now tell me, what will happen next? I donโt want to disrupt Ethanโs life! I didnโt hide for so long just to show up to him when Iโm about to dieโฆ""No, please. Donโt always say that, Ally," Shanna pleaded, her own tears coming before Allisonโs.She knew Shanna meant well by bringing Ethan there. But Shanna had to accept the truth that she was dying, and not even Ethan could change that. Allison just wan

"When will you face Mr. Montenegro? He just keeps coming back here," Yanah asked her.She was referring to Ethan, who was waiting in the shelterโs lobby, hoping she might finally decide to face him."Let him be," she replied. "No one asked him to do that."She turned to go back to her room. She was about to leave earlier while Yanah was assisting her, but when she saw Ethan, she changed her mind.A week after his first visit there with Shanna, Ethan had never missed a day at the shelter. Every day, he hoped she would finally meet him. But Allyโs heart was as hard as stone. She remained resolute in her decision not to show herself to Ethan.The truth was, when she first saw him, she wanted desperately to go to him. She missed him so much that no words could describe the emotions she fought to keep from showing.She loved Ethan, and even the word โloveโ was an understatement of how much he meant to her. Thatโs why, even though it hurt, she didnโt want to let him back into her life. She

โDid I scare you?โ She asked Ethan.โNot a bit,โ Ethan denied.When Ally woke up, she saw Ethan, who had fallen asleep at the side of her bed, holding one of her hands.He wasnโt kidding. He still loved her. She could feel it. She knew Ethan well. He wouldnโt waste his time coming here every day if she werenโt important to him. He was still the man she had loved and left two years ago.The same Ethan who was willing to defy even his own parents just to keep her in his life.He was the man who would move mountains just to be with her. But he was also the one she was trying to protect the most. She made the hardest decision when she left him because she didnโt want him to lose her through death. She thought that if he believed she no longer loved him, he would move on more quickly if he was angry.Compared to knowing she wanted to fight but that death would separate them.Then again, it seemed she had underestimated his love for her.โYouโre lying,โ she insisted. She knew he was scared.

"I'm sorry, Ethan. I overslept," Felicity apologized as she arrived.He stood up, pulled a chair for her, and gently planted a kiss on her cheek."It's fine, Siti," he replied, returning to his seat."So, why did you move our date to breakfast? You know I'm not a morning person. But donโt get me wrong. Iโm not complaining," she said with a smile. Maybe she was just really curious.He gave a slow smile, contemplating how to tell her that he wanted to end things with her."I know that smile, Ethan," Felicity said, her smile fading. For a moment, Ethan thought she looked insecure. "I hope I'm wrong. But I'm starting to feel uneasy about this breakfast. You have something to tell me, donโt you?""How about we eat first?" he said gently. He didnโt want to break up with her before they had even had a meal.Felicity nodded, but she looked sad. The confident smile she had when she arrived was gone.They ate in silence. Although he occasionally asked her about her work, her answers were short.

"Sis, you have a visitor again," Kyla joked, rolling her eyes as she returned to where she had left her, with Ethan, who had just left for work an hour ago. "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 Ethanโs 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."Iโm not going to ask if you left anything behind," she rolled her eyes playfully.

"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. Theyโve 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 Angelโs 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 couldnโt 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 couldnโt 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 didnโt 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 didnโt want to spoil the mood by revealing her discomfort. She was marrying Ethan Montenegro, which should be enough to overshadow her physical pains.โThanks,โ she managed to smile.โAlly, everyoneโs waiting upstairs,โ Kyla

Ally never expected Ethan to take his proposal seriously again, especially with a ring in hand. But this was Ethan Montenegroโwhatever he says, he will do. The hardest part for her was receiving a marriage proposal when she was on the brink of death. She didnโt deserve it, especially when she felt so close to the end. Each day seemed dimmer; she knew it, she could feel it.Ethan didnโt 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 couldnโt bring herself to hurt Ethan like that.โCome on, Allison. Give him some credit. Heโs not thinking about that. He just wants to marry you. And if you pass away before the marriage is registered, itโs not the end of the world,โ her mind argued.It wasnโt wrong to grant his request. It wasnโt wrong to let herself and Ethan be happy for whatever time was left. It wouldnโt be selfish to marry him, right? Ev

โAlly, did you know that this woman is already engaged? She didnโt even give us a heads-up! If Mr. Montenegro hadnโt asked, she wouldnโt have bothered inviting us to her wedding!โโMichael!โ Kattie scolded, her eyes wide at their male friend.Allison laughed. Even though they were just on a video call, Kattieโs blush was clearly visible.โIs it true, Kattie?โ 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, sheโd already be engaged?โWell, itโs not exactly like that,โ Kattie explained. โThe situation is different. Iโd be deported if I donโt marry my friend here.โโHmm, illegal stay?โ Allison guessed.Their friend was currently in America.โNot entirelyโโโSo, whenโs the wedding?โ Allison changed the subject. She didnโt want to embarrass her friend. โWe need to watch it, okay? Even if itโs just online like this.โโOf course, Ally! Michael and I have alrea

โShe was in and out of consciousness last night, Mr. Montenegro. And today, sheโs not waking up yet. Itโs almost past two PM.โEthan 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 wasnโt by her side.And now, Yanahโs words felt like a knife twisting in his heart.โPlease, be well, Ally,โ he whispered as his vision blurred while he drove well past the speed limit.He just hoped he wouldnโt get pulled over. Just this once. He needed to be beside Ally immediately.โWait for me, pleaseโฆโWhen 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

โMama,โ he called to get his motherโs 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.โWhat brought you here?โ he asked.โIs that how you welcome your mother, son?โHe felt like rolling his eyes. She was the one lacking emotion upon seeing him.โIโm just asking, Ma.โ He approached Andrea and kissed her cheek.That simple gesture surprised his mother, though her expression only changed momentarily.โWell, I felt obliged to pay you a visit,โ Andrea said as she took a seat, not breaking eye contact with him. โA Director raised a concern that youโre always unreachable. Whatโs going on, Ethan?โโAre you asking me, Mama, because you donโt know yet? Or do you need confirmation?โ He knew her well enough to understand that she likely already knew why and who had been occupying his time.โWhy are you not listening to your m

โHave those two not developed feelings for each other yet?โ Ally asked, amused, as she watched Leio and Shanna joking around with other patients at the shelter.โWell, about that, Iโm not sure I want to entrust my cousin to Leio,โ Ethan said, affectionately adjusting the way her head rested on his shoulder.โWhy not? Isnโt Leio your friend? One of your two best friends, actually.โโYes. And so I know how he treats women. I donโt want my cousin to end up on his list. You know, Shanna is very dear to me. Sheโs like my sister,โ he explained.โItโs not like thereโs a zero possibility that Leio will change,โ Ally said, chuckling a bit. โI still think they look good together.โโAh, donโt encourage them!โ The man laughed a little. โOn a serious note, if those two do end up liking each other, I think it would be fine. Shanna is being picky. She doesnโt seem to like any of her admirers.โโMaybe Leio is actually the right one for her.โโIf Shanna hears you, youโre in trouble,โ Ethan joked.โIโv
