Chapter 6 Challenged
Last Updated:
2023-05-17 18:27:48Mr. Jericho del Fuego had this impression of Teacher Maria. She is quite far different from all the women being linked to him. Maria is more of conservative type and naive. She was the only one who doesn't show any interest in him when he accidentally send her to their home in Rosario.
Jericho was a bit challenged by her. He smirked and think of something naughty with Maria. No one can ever snob him. He was the notorious playboy Bachelor in town and he want Maria to be part of his collections. He would like to play with her only. He wanted to discover how will she react to his charisma. He smokes while he was walking in the parking lot of his building.Meanwhile, Teacher Maria was busy doing her school reports and teaching her students. She's a bit distracted every time she thought of the handsome face of Mr. del Fuego. She was fortunate that she was sent to her home last time by Mr. del Fuego without any damage done to her. Mr. del Fuego had been known as a playboy bachelor in town, but come to think of it, Maria said to herself, "It is indeed not possible that Mr. del Fuego will harm me. He only liked sexy and fashionable women. Well I'm safe," she smiled with this thought. She is also quite thinking, "Nonetheless, if I can be his girl, It's alright then. Who could not fall in love with a gorgeous handsome man like Mr. Jericho del Fuego? He is also under the category of rich and famous," Maria had some naughty thoughts too. She was being reminded of the Psychic who advised her that the end of the world is quite near."I have to find a boyfriend now by hook or by crook. I don't want the world to end that I hadn't experienced any boyfriends a husband perhaps," she said to herself. She started to fix her things and prepare to go to her apartment after her working hours. She gathered all her things when the bell rings.She left St. Mary's Academy and started walking to the Bus station. She remembered that she met Mr. del Fuego there twice. "What if I encountered him here again? I guess it will be a sign already that he will be my destined boyfriend then," she said to herself.While she was standing at the bus station, suddenly a white Porsche car stopped in front of her. When the car window goes down, the handsome face of Mr. del Fuego came out."Hi, Teacher Maria. It's you again. Are you going home already?" Mr. del Fuego asked her.Teacher Maria was stupefied. "Oh my God, he is the one. I knew it," she said to herself. "There's a sign already," she thought so while staring at Mr. del Fuego's handsome face."Teacher Maria," Mr. del Fuego asked called her while smiling."I knew it, she will be mesmerized by my handsome face," Mr. del Fuego was conceited upon seeing Teacher Maria's reaction."Ummm. I'm heading to my apartment Mr. del Fuego. I won't go home in Rosario," she politely said,"I can send you to your apartment. I think it will be just along the way. Hop in," he invited her to ride in his car.Teacher Maria was a bit hesitant, but it seemed that Mr. del Fuego had a kind offer to her and she doesn't want to offend him. He was also her father's client of their coconut."Come on," Mr. del Fuego smiled at her and open the car door in front of Teacher Maria."Okay," she said.She was seated in the passenger's seat and put on the seatbelt already. She doesn't want Mr. del Fuego to put it again the same as the last he did it to her.Mr. del Fuego started his car engine and asked her," By the way where is your apartment's address."Maria said her apartment's address.Mr. del Fuego send her to the apartment and said while Maria opened the car door to leave," By the way, you can call me Echo. It's so formal if you call me Mr. del Fuego all the time. I'll call you Maria then okay.""Okay, Mr. del... eeer ... Echo. Thank you for dropping me here," she said while blushing her face.She is quite shy talking to a man, especially with this gorgeous man in front of her.Mr. del Fuego reached her hand and shook, "Nice meeting you again Maria," he smiled before he waved goodbye to her."Thanks again Echo," she said while pulling out her hand. She felt electrified when their palms touched each other.Echo felt the same but he decided not to tell to her. He felt electrified also.Maria was still outside her apartment's door looking at Mr. del Fuego's car while leaving. She went inside when the car was already out of her sight.She smiled and touched her heart. "He's the one. Thank you, Lord."Echo was smiling also while driving. Maria's address was out of his way. He just insisted to send her only to find out her place.Maria was so happy the whole night. She wasn't able to sleep well as she thought of Mr. del Fuego's handsome face."Am I so lucky enough to be sent home by the most popular Bachelor here in town? He doesn't look playbook either. He might be misunderstood by others. I find him a bit gentlemanly," she said to herself.She can't help but smile. She embraced her pillow before she closed her eyes, She wished to meet him again in her dreams.She was so happy the whole day. She slept with a big smile on her petite beautiful face.On the other side, Mr. del Fuego can't sleep either, as he can imagine the simple girl he was with a while ago. She doesn't wear any makeup and even put on some strong lady's perfume and yet her natural feminine scent is almost left in his nostrils. He can still smell her even if she's not around him.

Forevermore Chapter 58 The Summit Flame
The ballroom of the heritage hall in Quezon City had never held so many stories at once.It was the first morning of the Foundation of Fire’s national summit, and the air was thick with anticipation. The walls were draped in woven textiles from Mindanao, the stage framed by native flora, and the scent of sampaguita and coffee lingered in the air. The room pulsed with the quiet energy of over two hundred women—writers, educators, students, farmers, mothers, survivors—each carrying a story that had once been silenced.Maria Del Fuego stood backstage, her hands clasped in front of her, her breath steady. She wore a baro’t saya in soft cream, her hair pinned back, her eyes scanning the crowd through the curtain. She saw girls from the mountains of Kalinga, women from the fishing villages of Samar, teachers from Zamboanga, and elders from the Cordilleras. Some had traveled for days to be here.Celeste approached, clipboard in hand, her usual calm edged with adrenaline.“They’re ready,” she
Forevermore Chapter 57 Foundation Of Fire
Watch out as Maria and Celeste as they begin shaping a national foundation around Leah’s movement?The Del Fuego estate had always been a place of quiet power. The vines grew in disciplined rows, the soil rich with memory, and the wind carried stories that had never been spoken aloud. For decades, the family had cultivated not just wine, but legacy. But now, something new was taking root.Maria stood at the edge of the vineyard, watching the morning light spill across the hills. Celestina and Rafael were playing nearby, their laughter rising like birdsong. Jericho was in the cellar, overseeing a new blend. And Celeste was on the veranda, reviewing a proposal that could change everything.It had started with Leah.Her book, The First Door I Opened, had sparked a movement. Her workshops had spread across provinces. Her second book, The Classroom Without Walls, had become a national bestseller. And now, communities were asking for more—more support, more structure, more space to speak.M
Forevermore Chapter 56 The Story That Stretched Her
A deeply immersive continuation of Leah Santiago’s journey. This chapter introduces a new student whose story challenges Leah’s beliefs and forces her to confront the limits of her own movement. It explores themes of trauma, trust, and the evolving nature of mentorship. The workshop in San Teodoro was smaller than Leah expected. A single classroom borrowed from a local elementary school, its walls faded from years of sun and chalk dust. The windows were open to the breeze, and the mango tree outside cast shifting shadows across the floor. Leah stood at the front, arranging notebooks, her heart steady but curious.This was the fifth satellite workshop she had helped launch. The Unspoken Classroom had grown faster than she’d imagined—now reaching girls in towns she had never visited, led by facilitators she had trained herself. Each circle was different. Some were joyful. Some were quiet. Some were raw.She had come to San Teodoro to observe, to listen, to support. But she didn’t expec
Forevermore Chapter 55 Classroom Without Walls
Leah Santiago sat cross-legged beneath the mango tree behind her apartment, a notebook balanced on her knees and a pen poised between her fingers. The morning sun filtered through the leaves in golden patches, casting flickers of light across the page. She had been staring at the first sentence for nearly an hour.Her first book, The First Door I Opened, had changed everything. It had given her a voice, a platform, and a sense of purpose she hadn’t known she was missing. But now, with the attention growing and her workshops expanding, she felt the weight of expectation pressing against her ribs. Everyone wanted to know what came next.She did too.The second book would be different. It wouldn’t be about her. It would be about the girls. The ones who had walked into her workshop trembling and left with their heads held high. The ones who had written poems about fathers who drank too much, mothers who stayed silent, teachers who told them to be small. The ones who had dared to speak.Sh
Forevermore Chapter 54 The Voice That Echoed
The workshop continued. Leah expanded to nearby towns. She trained facilitators. She published a zine. She wrote her own book—The First Door I Opened. Maria wrote the foreword. And the Del Fuego legacy grew. Not just in vines. But in voices. In stories. In the quiet revolution of truth.Leah’s journey was just beginning. But already, she had become what she had once searched for—a woman who dared to speak, and who taught others to do the same.Leah’s first book launch, the media attention it draws, and the emotional complexity of stepping into the public eye. The morning of Leah Santiago’s book launch arrived with a sky streaked in gold and a breeze that carried the scent of mango blossoms. She stood at the window of her small apartment in Calapan, watching the town stir to life. Vendors opened their stalls. Children chased each other down the alley. Somewhere, someone was reading her words.Her debut book, The First Door I Opened, had been printed just two weeks earlier. It was a sl
Forevermore Chapter 53 Leah's Return
Leah Santiago stepped off the ferry and onto the familiar soil of Mindoro with a heart full of quiet resolve. The last time she had stood here, she was running—from expectations, from silence, from a life that had never felt like her own. Now, she was returning—not to reclaim what she had left behind, but to build something new.The months she had spent at the Del Fuego estate had changed her. Maria’s mentorship had not only sharpened her voice but had taught her how to listen—to herself, to others, to the stories that lived in the spaces between words. Celeste had shown her how to lead with clarity and compassion. Jericho had reminded her that strength could be gentle. And the twins, with their laughter and wonder, had taught her that legacy was not just inherited—it was created.She carried all of it with her now, tucked between the pages of her notebook and the folds of her memory. Her plan was simple but bold: to open a writing workshop for young women in Calapan, a place where gi
