Three years later...
"Where are you, Lucas? I'm about to grow roots here. Are you still coming?" Esther's annoying voice filled the confined space of his car. "Don't you have a watch with you? Okay, let me tell you, it's fifteen minutes after four!"
"I'm sorry, my lady. Give this poor man another ten minutes, alright?" he chuckled as he pulled over in front of a flower shop to pick up his flowers.
"Come on, what do you need another ten minutes for, mister? Next time I'm not choosing to come with you. I should have gone with Myr and Levi!"
"I'm coming. Stop your big mouth, okay? Guys do not like over-talkative girls. You're not going to get yourself a boyfriend if you stay like that," he answered. There was a long pause on the other side of the line after that. "Did I hit home, sweetheart?" he teased.
"I hate you!" she hissed. "Ten minutes, Lucas. If you dare come later by a fraction of a second, you will allow me to punch you in the face!"

"A vacation sounds great," Ace said as he was discussing to him the reschedulings that he did. "I've told you time and again that you need a breather.""I know. Where's the best place to go?" Lucas asked while checking the recommendations sent by Drew."I'll take a look at that for you. In the meantime, I believe you have to call Olivia before she comes in the office and makes a scene.""What does she want this time?" he pressed his fingers between his brows.Olivia's becoming a headache lately. The brat keeps on bugging him about unreasonable things. The last time, she even made him posed as her boyfriend just to piss off her ex."I don't know. Just a heads up, she's celebrating her birthday next week.""Urgh, tell her I'm not available next week.""No, you tell her. She only listens to you. As if my words are not credible. And you know my patience is thin when it comes to her," Ace turned his back before he c

Lauro was not her only relative who was laid to rest in that mausoleum. Beside him was Danielle's grandmother whom she hadn't met and her parents.She paid her respects to them as well before she left. There's still one thing left in her itinerary that day. And for this one, she was excited to see."Let's go," she told her driver who immediately drove the car away.At one glance, it looked like she was alone with her driver in all her activities. But she was not. Bodyguards were accompanying her discreetly.She didn't want to have them because her driver who was an ex-military man was already her bodyguard. But James insisted that she have them or he would not allow her to go wherever she pleases.So Danielle agreed. In one condition that they don't get too close to her."But remember, you cannot keep that kind of setup anymore once I introduce you to the public. You aren't just some normal citizen, Danielle. You're a

"How's Loukas?"Danielle asked Joseph the moment she entered her office.And she wasn't referring to a person. Loukas was her baby project. It's an island she bought and named Loukas.Actually, it's Loukas Island with a tagline that goes like 'the bringer of light in my life', which was pretty much the meaning of the name Lucas. Loukas is Lucas in Greek.Later on, she developed Loukas into an exclusive beach resort available only to the rich and famous and up to ten of their family members.Everything from the tiniest to the elaborate details was Danielle's idea and she was happy because James said that she did great. That if Lauro were still alive, he would be proud of her.Danielle was happy because she really wanted to impress James. She wanted him to be proud of the girl he raised. And because she was hoping that James and Myrna would stay by her side forever as her family.But all in all, Lucas was really her inspiration. She mis

"I think we need to cancel reservations at least one day before the event," James said as they were doing final touches to her birthday celebration next week."Can we do that? But the bookings were already confirmed," Danielle replied."We can offer them something for the inconvenience. Just like an extended stay if they would choose to rebook," as he said that, he messaged Joseph to bring him the list of the guests for next week. "Or a free cancellation fee."Danielle pondered about it for a while. "Ain't it going to ruin the reputation of the Island this early?""No, of course not. Matters like this can easily be resolved with just a little extra. Besides, we don't want to risk the safety of your guests.""I don't understand, Uncle. Aren't we catering to socialites only? Why would there be any threat? Besides, I believe that the security is enough," Danie express her thoughts."We opened it up to ten guests of each member, Danielle. I don'

"Come on! Ain't nobody gonna bring my bag for me?"Lucas looked back and laughed at Esther who was left beside the van with her huge luggage.“Oh, Lord, I have four brothers and not even one is a gentleman to carry his poor sister’s bag,” she continued complaining while looking up.He looked at his other siblings who pretended they did not hear Esther. Levi, of course, was already occupied by Myrtle. Elijah was on the phone and Ezekiel was wearing his headset. His gaze landed on their parents’ next. They were also looking at him but did not say anything but a smile was gracing their lips. They were telling him without saying anything that he takes care of their youngest family member.Lucas walked back towards his complaining sister and took her bag. “Why on earth did you bring so much with you?” he complained when he realized that her bag was heavy.&ld

Danielle was busy inside the admin office of Loukas Island when James arrived so she was not able to welcome him and Myrna.But James understood and told her not to think about it."How is the preparation going?" he asked while looking at Danie's anxious face."Everything is fine, Uncle. The other VIPs have already started arriving since yesterday. Oh, by the way, who took the flight with you today?"He did not answer as he was planning to talk to Lucas tonight first. He didn't think the man in Danielle's heart would already have a girlfriend.If that was the case, then he could not allow him to see Danielle. He would just hurt his precious niece.But James was still hopeful that Olivia was not Lucas' girlfriend. Based on his reaction, he believed that maybe the woman lied to him. When he was canceling Olivia Robert's booking, she asked about Lucas and told him that she was with him and just booked separately.It might have been his f

The party would be starting at exactly six o'clock in the evening.But at five o'clock, Danielle was already glammed up. She was wearing a stunning rose gold-colored gown that flaunts sophistication in the real meaning of the word.Danielle made sure that her designer would adhere to the values she learned while she was with the Del Fierros.The Del Fierros.Danielle sighed sadly at the thought of them. She really missed them. Do they still remember her?She misses Miriam's cooking, Rev. Marcus' words of wisdom, Dr. Levi, of course. How's he doing with Myrtle? Are the twins Elijah and Ezekiel making Esther's life difficult by guarding her to heart? Would she be able to get a boyfriend?What about Jio, Aunt Tabitha, and Uncle?'Stop it, Danielle. Don't fool yourself anymore. The one you miss the most is Lucas. Why don't you just listen to Nanny Evelyn and make things easier? You know where to find him...'True. But, she doesn't

The first time Lucas saw Dana, she was lying helplessly on a hospital bed. Tubes were connected to her body and her lower extremities were wrapped heavily in gauze. But he didn't feel an ounce of pity for her. All he wanted to do that time was to kill her with his bare hands.He hated her so much. He saw her as a curse. Yet because of his family, he still helped to keep her secret safe despite her unwillingness to tell him the truth about the accident.Lucas thought that he would never forgive her. But when he spent time with her, his heart opened up for forgiveness. And not only that, he feared losing Dana. That when her past caught up with her because of his wrong decision to bring her to the city, he willingly laid everything he had got just to keep her safe.In the end, his efforts were in vain as Dana decided to protect him instead.
