LOGINAt first, my Dad was surprised to see me with Cedrick Miguel. They were already sitting at the reserved table when we arrived. Dad’s face hardened the second he saw Cedrick beside me while Allyssa smiled warmly at us. I kissed Dad and my sister, and Cedrick Miguel respectfully greeted them. He pulled out my chair before sitting next to me, and I felt his fingers find mine under the table the moment we sat down.
We ordered quietly, the silence thick with tension, until Dad finally spoke. “May I know why you called to meet with Cedrick Miguel, Gav?” His voice was sharp and firm. I felt Cedrick Miguel’s grip tighten, then gently press mine, as if to let me know he was just right there with me.
"Why are you two together anyway? Didn’t you break up?" Confusion and anger were evident in my father’s eyes.
“Gav and I never broke up, Sir,” Cedrick said, his voice soft but unwavering.
“Dad, please. Let Gav talk.” Allyssa’s voice was gentle and encouraging. She look

We arrived back in the Capital and were greeted by Cedrick Miguel’s parents. We decided to go straight to the mansion because they were expecting us. The two elders warmly welcomed us with a tight embrace — an embrace as warm as the sun on a very cold day. Mrs. Villacencio even got teary-eyed when she greeted us.“I’m so happy you’re both back,” Mrs. Villacencio breathed while her eyes glistened with tears as she held me, and I felt a lump form in my throat.“Sorry for the trouble we caused, Ma’am, Sir,” I managed, my voice soft.“Oh, come on, Gav. Call us Mom and Dad from now on.” Her hand gently cupped my cheek, and her gaze was so full of love it made me want to cry. “You’re our child now because you married our son. Don’t mind a thing; our son already explained everything to us."Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded and hugged her again. "Thank you so much for accepting me."“You knew that I’ve wanted you for my son. I knew you were the one f
The ceremony was intimate, personal, and perfect. It was just us, the judge and his assistant, Kaycee, Lyzza, and Cedrick's friend. The beach was quiet, the waves whispering secrets to the shore. The sunrise painted the sky in breathtaking hues of pink, gold, and orange, serving as a stunning backdrop for our vows. Even the cool breeze felt like a gentle blessing, a caress from above participating in the solemn ceremony.I etched every detail of this moment into my memory, determined to never forget this day. And as I gazed into his eyes, I couldn't help but be amazed, almost in disbelief. Every second sent a nervous thrill, a unique chill of excitement, through every fiber of my being.I was so incredibly happy, and I could see it reflected in Cedrick's eyes. He looked at me the entire time, as if I were the only woman in the world, the only person he could see. Who would have thought the man I once only dreamed of would love me like this and would become my hus
We decided to get married at dawn on the second day after his proposal under a sky painted with the softest hues of pink and gold. It was a small, intimate beach wedding, officiated by a kind judge from the town. I wore a simple white dress I'd found in a little shop in the town proper- a pristine white silhouette that skimmed just below my knees, with layers of soft, flowing tulle and delicate off-shoulder ruffles. The moment I saw the dress, I knew it was perfect - simple, elegant, with a touch of bohemian romance that felt so right for our beach ceremony. My hair was down, a little off-center, adorned with a simple white floral crown. And Cedrick... he stood there in a guayabera-style shirt, the intricate pintuck details and delicate embroidery catching the morning light, paired with modern trousers. He looked impossibly handsome, my heart aching with a love so profound it took my breath away.I was surprised by the arrival of Kaycee and Lyzza that morning aboard a helicop
The days passed by so quickly, and we didn't even realize that we've been staying in this place for almost a month. It is only now that I have felt this happy in my entire life, and I never thought that it would be even happier than what I imagined way back when I was just dreaming of him. But even though we are so happy now, I can't help but think about what might be happening to those we left behind, especially him. I am aware of the constant calls from his parents, especially his Dad, about their company and businesses. I know he has a lot of responsibilities in the Company and he is the only one his parents are relying on to take care of their businesses because he is their only child. He can't stay here this long but because of me, he is staying. He doesn't say anything to me but I know that he needs to go back. That's why I decided to talk to him about it one afternoon while we were resting in our usual spot on the hammock. Beneath the blue sky, the breeze was gentle and refre
The past few days have been a dream and I had so much fun each passing day I spent with him . Picnics on the beach, swimming in crystal waters, thrilling jet ski rides, island hopping adventures, snorkeling through vibrant reefs, and leisurely strolls through bustling local markets. We've almost explored and eaten at all the unique and famous delicious restaurants in the area. We're either sightseeing or having a picnic at beautiful spots during the day, and every night he takes me to a romantic dinner date he meticulously planned. It's like we're on a blissful vacation, a world away from the life I ran from in the Capital. How I wish we could just stay here forever, far from my family, far from the people who seek to tear us apart. Now, we find ourselves submerged in the warm embrace of the jacuzzi, sipping champagne under a canopy of stars, a perfect ending to a dinner date he orchestrated by our
