Chapter 38

Esteban noticed his mother-in-law stepping out of their bedroom, causing his brow to furrow.

He had just come from the kitchen, where he brewed coffee and cooked sweet and spicy pancit canton. He hadn’t eaten dinner yet, and his stomach was already growling.

“Is something wrong?” he asked his wife. “Is there anything you want to tell me?”

Her eyes widened, uncertain how to respond. She had promised to let her mother handle things on her own—but every time she saw her cry, she couldn’t bear it. She was still her mother, after all.

Clearing her throat, she finally spoke.

“I need two million... I just really can’t bear to see Mama like that—”

It was the first time in three years that she ever brought up money. She didn’t even know how to say it—speaking up felt like trying to force a stone out of her throat.

“Alright,” Esteban replied instantly—without even blinking.

Her lips parted in shock. She thought he’d refuse. She thought he was bluffing.

    Esteban woke up early. After dropping Anna off at the company, he went straight to UFO Bank. He had promised his wife that he would take care of the money. He quickly came up with a solution for it.He had been sitting there for several minutes, waiting for his number to be called because the bank was crowded that day."Good morning, Sir. How can I help you?" said the woman as she approached him.He looked at the woman, who had pin-straight hair and enticing eyes looking in his direction. He also noticed her checking him out from head to toe. He was dressed simply in a navy-blue shirt, jogging pants, and his trademark slippers from years ago."I'm making a withdrawal today..." He cleared his throat and lowered his voice. "Two million.""What's your name, Sir?" she smiled."Desmond Montecillo," he introduced himself.The woman’s eyes widened slightly in shock. “Sir, you should make an appointment in advance, especially since you're withdrawing a large amount.”Esteban took out his old

    Chapter 37The man was utterly speechless, but confusion clouded his mind. He knew now—the young man standing before him was not someone to be underestimated."You heard my boss, Mariano. Of all the people you could’ve set your eyes on, you chose the young master's wife?" Apollo shook his head, gripping Mariano’s chin in one hand.Apollo’s demeanor toward Esteban was more than respect—it signified superiority. He realized now that the belief that Esteban was useless had been a lie. How many people had thought the same? How many truly knew who Esteban really was?Meanwhile, Isabel began to panic. Esteban had been gone too long. She was growing impatient—and afraid. What if he came to take Anna away?

    Chapter 36Shock was visible on everyone's faces, while Anna felt dread—but she didn’t show it. “What? Just one night and I’m supposed to let this worthless kid off the hook?” The fat man turned to Inigo, who instinctively stepped back, still hurting from the punch he had received.“Don’t you know who you’re talking to? He’s a Lazaro heir. If they find out what you’re doing to him, you might not live to see another day,” Isidro interjected. The man turned to him and laughed loudly.“How sacred is that family for everyone to fear and worship them? And don’t be rude, old man. You should be kneeling before me before you even speak...” Everyone gasped as the fat man punched Isidro.“Dad!”“I don’t care if you’re descendants of God himself—know who you’re messing with. But indeed, the woman I’m facing now,” he turned back to Anna, “What a beautiful woman, you must be a Lazaro.” Anna stepped back as he grabbed her arm. The man grinned, irritating Anna further. “Three years have passed…

    Chapter 35As soon as they sat down, they began ordering food and chatting. After a few hours of talking and drinking, the three men they were with—Isidro, Alberto, and Inigo—were visibly tipsy. Isidro stood up and walked toward Isabel and Falisa, who were also deep in conversation. Anna sat silently, bored with what was going on, her mind drifting to thoughts of Esteban—what he might be doing and where he could be.“Why, Kuya?” Isabel asked her older brother. Isidro and his wife Falisa exchanged glances before he spoke again.“You know me well, right? And I know you'd do anything to help me, Isabel.” Anna overheard this and looked toward the older ones.“What is it, Kuya Isidro?” Isabel asked. Isidro smiled at her.“We were hoping to borrow some money.” Anna wasn’t surprised; she had already sensed that this sudden visit had a hidden motive.“What’s it for, Kuya? I might not have that kind of money to give you.”“Oh come on, Isabel. We wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t important to us.

    Chapter 34Esteban secretly shook his head at what was happening. He already knew that none of Anna’s relatives—on either side—were decent, but he didn’t expect things to turn out like this.“Don’t tell me, you’re making me pay for this? Mom, Dad! He didn’t tell me this place was small,” Iñigo whined like a child. Isidro turned to Esteban with an angry glare.“You’ve always been worthless. I don’t even know why my niece Anna married you. Where did you even come from? All you’ve done is ruin our lives. What are we supposed to do now?” Isidro ranted at length. Esteban just looked at him. He had no problem with what happened, but he couldn’t just say he could replace the car immediately, because he couldn’t.
