"Boss, here are your clothes, it's been five days since you didn't come home." James, who had been keeping an eye on Marco, said. He had recently arrived at the hospital and couldn't help but feel bad for his boss's current predicament. Marco looked at him, his eyes puffy from waiting for his wife to wake up. "Thank you, James. Just put it there, go back to the office, and bring all the papers I need to sign here to the hospital," Marco replied sluggishly. James stared at his boss in disbelief as he sat on the side of Katleah's bed, holding her hand. His clothes and hair are messy, and he often misses meals because he only pays attention to his wife. James left the hospital and went straight back to work. In the mall parking lot, Sandra was about to get in her car when someone grabbed her hand. She winced at the man beside her. "Raven?" she exclaimed. "What's wrong?" she demanded. "Sandra! You're playing tricks without telling me your plan?" Raven argued. "So? Raven, I'm just ge
Katleah leaves the hospital after a few days of recovery. Axel had privately talked to her before leaving, and she discovered they were cousins on her mother's side. They kept their relationship a secret from Marco to avoid making it more difficult. Their lives are in danger, so they must be vigilant right now.Marco promptly carried her into their room upon their arrival at the Mansion. "Baby put me down.''He just kissed her while his seductive eyes stared at her."What are you trying to say with those looks?" Her words betrayed the nervousness and excitement in her heart."I need to make up for the days I didn't get enough rest, babe." His sexy response took her aback."Huh? You should get some sleep as soon as possible. ""That's why, sweetie, only you can give me strength," he said tenderly, making her hair stand on end. She panicked when she felt her back against the soft bed. "You're flirting," she told Marco, making him laugh."It's always been this way with me and you." He s
Mansion of the De la Vega familyMarco and his father, Philip Dela Vega, on the veranda of their mansion, are having coffee while facing each other. Marco silently observed his Father as he stared into the distance. A 50-year-old man like him appeared to have a younger face than his current age. Elegant and handsome as ever, he can still make any woman fall in love with him. But he knows he has never remarried since his mother abandoned them.His Father called him, "Marco, how old are you? How soon are you getting married?""Marriage is not in my plans, Dad. Why are you so concerned if I amn't married?" He seemed annoyed to respond to his Dad."I'm getting old, son. When will you give me a grandchild? What if I'm too old to play them? You may be putting off your wedding until I pass away.”"Look at what you're saying, Dad! We're talking about my marriage; this is not food I would spit out if I did not enjoy it. Besides, you've taught me not to put too much faith in women." It was evid
Knock, knock, knock!"Katleah! Are you completely deaf? Please open the door! I've been knocking for quite some time!""Yes, Mrs. Rosa, I'm already there. Just wait, and I'll open the door.""What happened to you, and why did it take you so long to open the door? Do you want to hide something from me?"Mrs. Rosa yelled as she pushed open the door."Mrs. Rosa, I have no reason to hide you. Why, what do you need?""Hah! Are you still asking? Have you forgotten? You still haven't paid your rent at home, and it's been two months. If you can't afford to pay, leave.""Mrs. Rosa, please have mercy on me; I promise to make up for my two-month delay in payment this coming week. If you could just wait until next week, I could get paid then.""What? Within the next week? No way! I'm immune to your pitiful charms now that I've granted you a two-month extension in the past; what were you thinking? How fortunate are you?""All right, Mrs. Rosa, this is the last one because I can't find a cheaper on
At the mallKatleah had just exited the employee entrance when she noticed a tall, muscular man approaching her. She had never met him.She isn't that significant. Why would anyone be interested in her if she didn't have any money? She ignored him, thinking she was overthinking, but why did she still feel the man was following her? She looked at him."Are you following me, Mr.?" She asked the man right away."I'm sorry, Ma'am, but the boss would have invited you to eat dinner outside. He said he just wanted to talk to you," the man said hesitantly."Huh? B-Boss? Oh, sir, perhaps you approached me by mistake." She immediately turned her back on him."No, ma'am. Aren't you Ms. Katleah Sanchez?" the man replied, still following her.She halted in front of the man and said, "It's me. Why is your boss interested in me? ""Come along, ma'am, so you can find out," he continued to persuade her.Katleah was perplexed by this man's alleged boss, so to find out who this boss was interested in t
"W-Wh-What?" Katleah immediately inquired. Oh, uhoo, she was taken aback by Marco's direct offer to her.He immediately provided her with water to drink. She confronted him again when she felt better."What makes you want to ruin the moment?" I nearly spit out what I was chewing. Fortunately, I immediately realized that spitting it out would be a waste, so I swallowed it all. You're attempting to annoy me, aren't you? Are you serious?" She scolded him angrily.Although Katleah's response made him laugh a little, he quickly stopped and turned his face faithfully again."I'm not joking. You should marry me.""What if I don't want to? What are your plans? You don't have any plans to kidnap me if I refuse, do you? Just because you're a billionaire and the most successful businessman in the country doesn't give you the right to order my life around. You don't have control over me." She turned down Marco's marriage proposal right away."She's not that naive if she's aware of my other life e
Meanwhile, Katleah lay flat on the grass at Forbes Park and put on a thin blanket; she used the suitcase as her pillow. She lay down and gazed at the twinkling stars in the sky. She appears to be crying due to her grandmother and parents' absence, those who made her experience genuine affection. Her life would not have turned out this way if they were still alive. She has no desire to become wealthy. To her, it's all about making her family happy. She remembered what her grandmother had said before she died."Katleah, I know I won't be around for long; you need to know your true identity. Make sure you find your birth parents no matter what!”Her grandmother's words stunned her. "I'm perplexed, Grandma; who are my biological parents? Didn't they die in an accident?"“I'm telling the truth, Katleah; your mother rescued you from the burning orphanage.”Her face was frozen. She couldn't believe that, after eighteen years, she would discover that the family she thought was her real family
Katleah squirmed out of Marco's grasp quickly. She averted her gaze and asked calmly."Why are you here? Didn't you leave earlier? Why did you return?""Just answer my question. How come you're just lying here as the rain pours down? Would you like to get sick?" Marco asks with concern."That doesn't matter to you. I mean, really, why are you being so annoying? What exactly are you up to? Why? Did I invite you to soak in the rain with me here? I'm not, right?" she asked Marco ponderously.Marco frowned at the girl's response to him. The fact that she became even gloomier due to his worries surprised him."Are you women truly this way? Do you become enraged when a man expresses concern for you? Why are you this way? You have such a bad temper," Marco stated as his brows met."Oh! That makes me the villain, huh? Because I didn't treat you well, despite your concern. Why? Did I ask you to worry about me? That's the reason why I didn't want to let you know that I planned to spend the nig
