She found out that Dorothy was helping Renzo taking revenge against Harvey and take over the company and give justice to her aunt, believing that he’s her cousin. However, she mistook the information because she thought Harvey is the son of the mistress and Renzo is her true cousin. She also thought that the Empire is the company given to Harvey by his father which supposed to be with her cousin as the real heir.
She had a deep resentment to the mother and son. She believes that they were the reason why her aunt and grandfather died and her cousin to live a miserable life. When she graduated, she decided to go back to the country to help her cousin take all the things that is rightfully his. But one thing she failed to remember is the name of her cousin.
In the novel, the collapse happened one month after the incident in the restaurant while the construction workers were having their siesta time during their lunch break; there would be an earthquake, the building collapsed, and a lot of the workers were injured and died. Only a few were lucky to be out of the site and still having lunch outside.If her calculation is correct, today is the one month when someone tried to sabotage the restaurant by releasing a rat inside and when someone reported their health standard to the Department of Health. If it is, an earthquake will happen around twelve to one o’clock in the afternoon. However, she hasn’t thought of any excuse for them to evacuate the site. First, there is no news that there will be an expected earthquake or any phenomenon that will re
Meanwhile, Harvey was excited as his wife would pick him up at the airport. However, when he arrived, only Uncle Domeng was there.“Where’s my wife?” he asked.“She said she has an important thing to do” he frowned.‘Important to do? What is more important than picking him up at the airport? They have separated for four days, and he been longing to see her so much, yet she was not a bit concerned to pick him up.’ Harv
“Guys, calm down. Let’s stay here first. Let us wait for the people from the company. I know you want to check the site, but I’m sure it’s not safe to go back there at this time. What if the earthquake is not over yet, or there’s still debris falling.” Arrianne said to prevent them from returning to the construction site. She saw them nodding, confirming their approval of what she said. She smiled at them. There might be reporters on the site to check the situation, and the workers returning to the construction site might be a bad idea if someone interviewed them, so she tried to prevent them from returning, at least until Harvey went to where they are.She felt the sudden hug from her back, and when she turned her head and saw his husband sighing for relief.“Are you okay?
The next day, Arrianne’s itinerary was pretty much the same. After waking up, prepare for their breakfast and lunch boxes. Harvey did not allow her to go to work and let her take a rest.After Harvey left, she prepared to met the person who messaged her last night. Every piece of information that might help Harvey in solving the problem of the company must be taken with utmost importance. She doesn’t know who the person she will gonna met but he informed her that he is one of the construction workers. It is a good thing that she provided them with her contact information.She initially
When they calmed down their emotions, Harvey continued to drive the car while holding Arrianne’s hands. And from time to time, he will peek at his wife in the passenger seat. It was the first time Arrianne raised her voice to him, and he may be a masochist by enjoying it.Meanwhile, Arrianne no longer entangled herself with what happened, as her mind is currently absorbed in thinking of the person who followed her a while ago. When she was still in the bookstore, she was distracted by her fear and did not think much about it. Now that she calmed down, was safe, and could think, she was sure to be familiar with that person. However, that person was connected to her in her past and not to Arrianne in the present.

When Ara returned to her senses, she suddenly felt hot. She knew that her face was now crimson red. She went to the pantry and immediately drank a glass of cold water.‘He is surely taking advantage of me,’ she said to herself without realizing that it was her who took the initiative to kiss Harvey.When she fully recovered, she thought that her son would be arriving soon. Considering the rush hours, they will surely be stuck in the heavy traffic. Ara t
After Adrian left to call his father, Uncle Domeng gave her a paper bag with a box inside. Uncle Domeng motioned her to open it. When Ara opened the box, she raised her brows upon seeing its content. She doesn’t know what Uncle Domeng means by giving her this ‘meaningful gift’. She looked up with a questioning look.“It’s my gift. You have encountered some disadvantages today while you were outside. I want to apologize for my negligence, but that would only come as an excuse. So, I brought you some self-defense weapons that you can use when something happens without me; or Harvey by your side. You can at least defend yourself until we come to your rescue. You can choose whatever you like.” Uncle Domeng explained“Uncle, it’s not your fault that someone followed me when I went outside. Anyway, thank you for this... but... are you sure you are giving me a g-gun? I’m okay with the other like this pepper spray, and the others but this?” she was skeptical to accept the ‘gift’ Uncle Domeng
