After Ryan left for his own house. Zach called Ryan's mom, Kelly, who Samantha was spending the night with. They spoke for a while about general things before Zach briefed her about Cora and Isabella. When they were done talking, the phone was passed over to Samantha.
"Daddy guess what?..." Samantha said excitedly as soon as the phone was given to her. She didn't wait for her father to answer before she went ahead to say what she wanted to say anyway

My Corazon 13. Temper tantrum
'Corazon has a man in her life!?' There was a dreadful feeling inside Zach's heart as he asked himself that question over and over again. He became restless and immediately started pacing within the small space where his car was parked.After a while, he stopped pacing, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose. A habit he knew always calmed him down whenever he was overwhelmed by any information he couldn't process.He's been pacing back and forth for the past ten minutes and he couldn't understand why. Why there's a hollow feeling deep inside his stomach. Why his thoughts were all jumbled up and Why the thoughts of Cora having a man in her life was such a big deal to him!"Dammit!" He suddenly swore out loud, startling awake a sick, cranky baby that the mother just managed to coax to sleep.The baby's cry rends through the parking lot also startling Zach out of his deep thoughts. He looked towards where the baby's cry was coming from and met head-on with the mother's death
My Corazon 14. Acceptance
Even though Zach didn't understand why the thought of Cora having a man was like a bitter pill in his mouth, he still told himself she has the right to have a man in her life. She has the right to fall in love, get married to the man she loves and give birth to Isabella's sister or brother. He agreed with himself that she has the right to be happy and if that is what would make her happy then so be it. After all it was not her fault they broke up, it's his and his family's fault He already made up his mind to spend the night with Cora and Isabella at the hospital so when he was done thinking about Cora and her boyfriend, he went to the mall to get some things they would be needing, everything he felt the three of them would need to have a comfortable night, he boughtAfter he was done shopping for the basic things, he went to the toy store and bought a stuffed unicorn toy exactly like the one Samantha couldn't sleep without at home. The only difference being Samantha's unicorn was p
My Corazon 15. Daredevil
Isabella was excitedly telling her mother about her stuffed unicorn when Zach cleared his throat loudly making mother and child to look up from the unicorn they were both checking out and toward himZach raised an eyebrow at Isabella in question then. It seemed to Cora that the two of them had earlier discussed something while she was on the phone with Luis. She alternatingly looked from Zach to Isabella wondering what it was they both knew that she didn't know.Isabella also stared back at her dad for some seconds in confusion..."Ohh..." She suddenly said in realization when she remembered what it was her father was trying to tell her.Her face became sad and she turned to her mother with a very sorry expression on her face"I'm sorry mommy for my behavior earlier... Throwing tan- tan?- tan?-tarium?..." She sounded unsure while looking towards her dad for help since she had forgotten the actual word her dad used when he told her with his daddy's voice that she owed her mother an apo
My Corazon 16. Are you both fighting?
Now, why would he buy her panties and bra for goodness's sake as if they were still dating? What would Luis say if he found out her ex-boyfriend who was also the father of her child bought her panties and bra, even under such circumstances? And why was he even acting like it was no big deal? As if men buying their ex-girlfriends panties and bras happens all the time!How did he even know her size? Yes, he bought those things for her in the past when they were dating. But how could he tell that her size has not increased because of childbirth?Cora knew Zach that he was not a man of many words who also didn't beat around the bush. Even at that, she still thinks something must be wrong with his brain when he told her..."Oh, and I took the liberty of getting you another set of underwear too. I thought you might want a fresh one for the night'Like what the hell Zach! Are you totally out of your mind!?' she thought to herself and managed to reply to him casually ''Yeah sure, thanks!''S
My Corazon Mommy duties
Cora pushed the door of her bedroom open with her shoulder. Her daughter's choice of clothes for the day in one hand, shoes in the other and a piece of toast stuck in her mouth. She entered and saw that Isabella her six years old daughter whom she stopped earlier from playing dress-up inside her walk-in closet has now found other activities of singing and jumping on the bed to occupy herself withCora saw one of the beddings that were neatly laid before she left Isabella by herself was now scrunched up all around her feet, while the rest and all the pillows were strewn on the floor. She sighed deeply, draped the clothes in her hand on a chair and the shoes, she placed at the foot of it before removing the toast stuck in her mouth so she would be able to talk.However before she could say anything, Isabella turned and became aware of her mother's presence."Mommy see how high I can jump!" She paused her song to say excitedly and
My Corazon 2. He's back
Twenty minutes later. Cora drove out of her Manhattan townhouse. She would first drop Isabella at school before going to pick Lisa up at her house. She briefly looked towards her daughter who had her face pressed to the window looking at the passing scenery"Isa..." She calls softly and Isabella turned her head looking at her mom, waiting with a smile to know what her mother wanted to say. Cora just smiled back and pat her lovingly on the head. What she was about to say was at the moments forgotten when she saw the joy that radiated from her daughter's bright smile.Even though there are days that she felt like running away when the pressure of motherhood, coupled with taking care of the family business becomes too much for her to shoulder, Cora was still glad and proud of her eighteen years old self that decided to keep her child, even when her boyfriend had just ended their relationship and the pressure from friends to get an abortion was
My Corazon 3. How they met
Cora leaned back in her seat with her eyes closed and thought more about the question Lisa asked her earlier; Was she still pining for Zachary King... She vehemently disagree then and thinking about it now she still disagreed.How could she still have feelings for a man that made a mockery of her love for him? A man that shamed her in front of her family and friends. No, she didn't have any feelings left for Zach King, instead, she hated him with passion.Even with the hatred Cora felt for Zach King, she still couldn't entirely forget about him, how would she be able to forget when her daughter was a constant reminder of her father with her blond hair, green eyes, and dimples. The only difference was Zach's aloofness while Isabella was as vivacious as her mother.Cora couldn't help it when her mind drifted off to the first time she set her eyes on Zach. Even after seven years of harboring hatr

He thought to himself and smiledSix months ago after her mom was finally moved to the hospital before her death, Zach would wake up to find Samantha staring down at him in bed.
