After the Lucas rebel group was dismantled, another group took over the income of our landholdings. We just gave up on that land. We worked hard to support our growing family.
When our son was 1 year old, our maid found a basket with a frail baby on it. I thought the baby was dead. I brought her to the hospital. The baby was 6 months old but looks 3 months, malnourished and pale. I tried so hard to revive the baby, then after 15 days in the hospital, I brought her home. I hired a nanny to take care of her. My ex-husband doesn't like the idea of adopting the baby, he brought the baby himself to the orphanage. Another huge fight for several days. He tried to convince me that I am endangering our family. He suspected that the baby was from the rebel group specifically from Jovy.
I don't have the heart to put her in an orphanage so I talked to my cousin in another city. I will pay her to take care of the baby. She agreed. I adopted the baby and named her Shiela Gonzales, s
It was a long day indeed. Savannah felt that her energy was sucked up during the questioning. On the other hand, Ari was exhausted since he was worrying about Savannah, so helpless because he cannot do anything about the whole situation. However, when they got home, they had light dinner, cleaned themselves, and made love the entire night. Ari woke up early, make two mugs of cafe mocha and wake up Savannah with the aroma of her favorite morning hot drink. Then he changed his mind about going to work early, he called his assistant instead and gave instructions. He went back to bed and started touching the still sleepy Savannah. They made love again until Savannah cant gets up from the bed. Ari was so naughty and kept on laughing. Stay in bed and wait for me when I get home. I am not done with you yet. Ari wink at Sav. You're a monster, Ari! Yes, I know, I am so addicted to you, you have to make it up to me, wifey! You will leave soon. I will be so sad

The entrepreneur group headed by Allan Cruz drafted a letter to the general humbly requesting Savannah de la Lucca to attend the emergency meeting with the Task Force New Hope New Life. This project was spearheaded by General Ari de la Lucca, to help the rebel returnees to cope and adapt to their new environment. The primary goal was for them to be self-sufficient, so the task force will develop projects and programs in which they can participate. Adela, his assistant, said that the general has an afternoon taping, so the only time he will be available to see the group is 11 noon. He will have lunch with his wife by 12 noon. At exactly 11:00 am, the group headed by Allan Cruz and Mercy Ong were in the office of the general to hand in the letter. After reading the letter request, the general heart sank. He would like to avoid involving his wife in this project. However, he knew that his team was not yet prepared. The planning stage was 3 years, the blood pact
Everyone was scrambling to take their seat in the conference room. The meeting will start in 5 minutes. It's either they are curious how Savannah de la Lucca will respond to their request or is she worthy to be called Mrs de la Lucca.All the teams are now seated, including Ari and Savannah in the front seat. The moderator started the meeting by thanking Gen Ari for allowing Savannah to attend the meeting.Good Morning everyone...thank you all for the complete attendance. We need to keep this meeting going as fast as we can because our guest will leave this morning. I would like to introduce and say thank you for granting us your time this morning...Mrs Savannah de la Lucca.Savannah: Good Morning and thank you for having me. I would like to start by thanking all of you for a job well done. Yes, we have to leave before lunch, so I need to know what you have so far for the phase 2 plan.Everyone was silent.Savannah took a white board marker and dre
Ari's POVI was so proud of you Sav, you're a closer. I am sure that my team will accept and admire you more. When the news about our marriage surfaced in the office, there's a lot of questions on their minds, even my fellow colleagues if you can live up to their expectations. I don't care if you can't, what matters most to me is that I loved you. But I guess it was normal in the office setting that kind of opinion. They have been very protective of me ever since. When they realized that I don't care about their opinion about you, they kept quiet but I know that they are looking for some negative feedback on you. That is why I would like to protect you but now, you quiet them. I was laughing out loud. Yes, we can do this project together, meaning you have to come home to me very often.Back to the meeting...Elise: It's personal, I will call when you're in SF. Sav, going back to Brahma...congratulations on a job well done. Dr. Wang was so pleased and he wants yo
Adam, you've been drinking a lot lately. You need to move on for the sake of Uncle Ari. Susan said. I am moving on Susan, but sometimes I felt so sad, that's why I drink. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for both of them. I have seen how happy Uncle Ari with Sav. He showered her his love and care. Sav was so happy too. Seen her eyes sparkle especially when Uncle Ari proposed at the Butterfly Farm. He knew how to get to her heart and pleased her. I admired them, the love they shared especially Uncle Ari who waited for decades. I wish I can find another Savannah to love Susan. I will help you find one but no rush, Okay! Susan responded. By the way, we have to prepare for the upcoming festival. I need your help in finding photographers and videographers. We have at least 20 films to screen in 2 days. Can you do the Q and A after the screening? Susan asks. Adam: Yes, I can handle the Q and A portion, I need the synopsis or treatment of each film so I can cr
Ari's POVIt was hard to get up in the morning, not seeing my wife beside me, not embracing her the whole night. My heart aches; I miss her so badly. I am not content with facetiming and phonecalls every day. I couldn't even eat, not thinking if she had her meal already. I have to plan. I can not live like this anymore. I have to join her in California. I can retire at anytime, and I was due to retire five years ago anyway. I requested an extension because I need to contribute to this country using my community-building expertise and keeping peace and order. This time, I have to prioritize my wife and my relationship. I can not afford to lose her. She is my life now.In the office...Is the general comi
Gen Ari was so cranky the whole day in the office. At around 3 pm, he summons Gen Cruz, Gen Torres, Allan, and Ben to his office.Let's go to the Red and Light bar and get drunk. I wanted to get very, very drunk tonight.Let me remind you, Gen Ari, that the Red and Light bar owner was infatuated with you, and she will be happyto see you at your current stage, lonely and sad. Allan reminded Ari.That's okay.... I wanted to get drunk only.Well, if that is what you want, then let's go. Gen Cruz said with a naughty smile on his face.Ben, Allan,
