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
My Corazon 4. Daddy duties
Zach King's alarm sounded at 6 am as usual. He sat up in bed and looked around his bedroom.'She's not here today?" He thought to himself, amazed to see that Samantha, his six-year-old daughter was not in his room waiting for him to wake up as usual. 'Maybe she finally decided to stop watching over me.' 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. After three days of waking up to find her watching over him, he asked her if she was afraid of sleeping alone and she replied, no! She was just afraid the men that came to take her mother away would also come for him while she was sleeping.Zach felt pain for his daughter. He wished there was something to save his wife's life. If not for anything but his daughter's sake. There was nothing they could do as the terminal cancer that she had was already at its final stage. The
My Corazon 5. A call for help
Cora and Lisa forgot about Zachary King in the meantime and went about the day's business. After her meetings, she visited her new branch building to check the work in progress. When she entered and saw how far they've gone with what used to be an old abandoned warehouse, She was proud of what they have achieved so far. The work on the building was almost done. Hopefully, they might be able to open for business by the end of the month.It was getting late in the afternoon when the two women finally decided to take a break and go for lunch, after which they can go shop for the baking and kitchen wares she would be using for her business. While shopping for the kitchen wares, Cora decided to call the babysitter so she could speak with Isabella. She knew they would be at the park right now and she wanted to be sure Isabella was having a great time at the park.However, she couldn't get the babysitter on the phone. So Cora left a message on her answering
My Corazon 6. Help me save my daughter
"No Lisa, you don't have to follow me. You should stay here, in case they find a match for her, so you can immediately inform me!""Okay, but do you know where you're going? Do you have the address?" Lisa asked with concern towards the obviously disoriented Cora who was walking in hurried steps.Cora stopped mid strides when she remembered she had no idea where she was going. She sighed in frustration and looked pitifully at Lisa ``No I don't know where I'm going... You have it right?"Lisa nodded and gave Cora a quick, reassuring hug. "Everything will be okay, Corazon! Everything will be okay, so don't worry too much!" She pulled away from their hug and looked into Cora's eyes "Alright?" She asked and Cora nodded in reply"Okay go ahead, I'll send the address to your phone by the time you arrive at your car... Oh, the car keys!" She remembered she still had the keys and handed it o
My Corazon 7. Almost twins
Zach turned white on seeing the picture Cora placed in front of him. For some seconds, he just stares at the face of the girl that looks so much like Samantha they could pass for twins. If not for Cora and her father that were standing behind the girl in the picture, he would have thought Cora somehow stole one of Samantha's pictures so she could play some stupid pranks on him. With slightly shaky fingers he picked the photo up and looked at the girl closely. Even with the ridiculously big chef's hat she had on her head, her long blond hair was obvious as it cascaded over her shoulders, and her green eyes that were just like his and Samantha's were sparkling with happiness."Samantha!?" Zach heard his father whisper in question exactly what he was thinking. Indeed, he didn't need a DNA test to confirm to him that the girl in the picture was his daughter. The resemblance between them was so obvious even his father mistook her for

So hope you won't mind if I come by the hospital later today to check how Isabella's doing?" Ryan asked as he helped Cora climb into the helicopter."No of course not" Cora replied"Great, so I guess I'll see you later then. Take care." Ryan said and immediately started walking back towards Zach, meeting him halfway and they both walked back to the helicopter again."Her name is Isabella... I already sent some of her pictures that I copied from Corazon to your phone..."Yeah, thanks, man..." Zach repliedIt's too early for old man Mancini to find out anything about them for now, so don't think about the old fart, just concentrate on taking care of your girl.""Yeah... Please help take Samantha to your mom's... I'll call her tonight myself""Yeah sure," Ryan said as they arrived at the helicopter.
