ALLYS POV

I was awakened by the loud sound of my cellphone. Sleepily, I fumbled for it on the side table and answered.

"Hello, who's this?" I asked with my eyes closed to the person calling.

[Gosh! Did you already fall asleep Mariel? It is so early to sleep my dear best friend.]

I frowned at what the woman on the other line said and unconsciously looked at the time on my cellphone. I saw that it was past one in the morning.

What does she mean it's still early? Early because it's already morning

  • Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 109: Eiser Leonard

    LEON’S POV “Have you gone completely insane, Leon?! She is NOT Mariel! She is NOT your fiancée!” Mom screamed at me. I just groaned in pure annoyance. We were here inside Dad’s private office in the mansion, and once again, the topic of discussion was Allys. “Mom, please… not again,” I told her, exhausted. “No! Stop searching for her already! What exactly did you even see in that woman, son? She’s nothing but an impostor!” My jaw tightened sharply at her words. “I know exactly what you’ve been doing, Leon! I have been watching you closely these past few months!” Mom accused me further. I looked at her, drained and tired. “What is wrong with that, Mom? I am not neglecting the company or my business! I am doing excellent in all my work.” “I am not talking about your work, Leon. I am talking about this madness you have for that girl!” “Son, we barely even know her. We have no idea where she came from or what her real motives were,” Dad added, speaking calmly while sitting comf

  • Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 108: Priorities

    ALLY’S POV Several months have passed, and I still can’t quite believe there is a living, growing life inside my belly. I don’t experience morning sickness or cravings for certain foods—frequent dizziness is the only symptom I’ve had throughout my pregnancy. Every time I go for a check-up, Daniel always comes along with me. There have been moments when his doctor friend would ask if he is the father of my child, seeing how attentive and caring he is toward me. It always leaves me feeling so embarrassed on his behalf. “I am really sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you, Daniel,” I told him as we were driving home from another appointment. “It’s really nothing, Alice. You know you can always count on me,” he said with a gentle smile, keeping his eyes on the road. “Thank you… truly, from the bottom of my heart.” Before heading home, we stopped by a grocery store to buy things I would need. My tummy has grown quite big now, so I mostly wear loose dresses these days. “Your due da

  • Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 107: Move Forward

    ALLY’S POV “Congratulations… you are one month pregnant,” the doctor told me happily. I turned to look at Daniel, sitting right beside me. He just stared at me closely, as if carefully weighing and measuring every single reaction I showed. Yesterday, when he first told me I was pregnant, I couldn’t believe it right away. That is why I came here today, to see an OB-GYN and confirm once and for all that it was true. Daniel came along with me because the doctor we were seeing happened to be a close acquaintance of his. “Thank you, Doctor,” I whispered, and without really realizing what I was doing, I stood up and walked out of the clinic room. Daniel spoke briefly with the doctor for a few moments before hurrying out to follow me. “Are you alright, Alice?” he asked with concern, placing a hand gently on my shoulder. Slowly, I removed his hand from my shoulder and kept walking. He seemed to understand my need for space, because he stopped and didn’t follow me any further. I walked

  • Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 106: Sudden

    ALLY’S POV A few more days passed, and I quickly got used to living entirely on my own. My routine was always the same: arrive at the coffee shop by 8:00 AM and leave at 4:00 PM. I lived alone in that small apartment Daniel had left behind. Occasionally, when he happened to be at the shop too, he would drive me home. “You know, Alice… ever since you started working here, Sir Daniel comes by every single Saturday and Sunday. Before, he only used to visit twice a month. But now? It seems like he never misses a weekend,” Mika, my co-worker here, told me. “Oh Mika… I think that’s just pure coincidence,” I replied while wiping down the counter. “I really don’t think so, Alice. In my opinion… our boss definitely likes you. Just thinking about it makes me feel all giddy! Such a beautiful barista and such a handsome doctor… it’s exactly like a scene from a romantic telenovela,” she gushed excitedly. I just smiled at her vivid imagination and shook my head as I walked toward one of the t

  • Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 105: Search

    LEON’S POV “What’s the update?” I asked Lucas. I sat in my swivel chair here in my office, staring intently at him. “According to the information I gathered, she is no longer at the Cuevas mansion. She was last seen on the subdivision’s CCTV getting into a taxi and leaving. That was around twelve midnight.” I nodded slowly, clenching my fist tight. She escaped in the middle of the night. How can I ever be sure she’s safe right now? “And the taxi? Did you get the plate number?” I asked calmly, though tension was building inside me. “Yes, Sir. I also tracked down the very driver who took her to the terminal. According to him, Miss Allys was crying nonstop inside the vehicle the whole time.” “Are you absolutely certain it was her?” “Most likely yes, Sir. The driver said she was wearing a maid’s uniform that night.” I ran my index finger along my lips, deep in thought. Where could she be right now? I hope she’s safe and unharmed. “Did you find out which bus she boarded at that

  • Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 104: Proposal

    MELDRID’S POV “Now that the impostor posing as Mariel is gone, I’d like to formally propose becoming your son’s new fiancée, Tita. You’ve known for a long time how much I truly care for him,” I said to Tita Kristine, Leon’s mother. I was here at their mansion, and I had deliberately asked to speak with her just for this very matter. She let out a long sigh before shaking her head slowly. I frowned, confused and annoyed by her reaction. “I don’t think that would be right, Meldrid. This is certainly not the proper time to arrange another engagement for my son. It would look very inappropriate for him to suddenly have a new fiancée right after everything that has happened.” “But Tita! Mariel has been dead for a long time now! If it weren’t for that deceitful woman, we would have found out much sooner that she was gone. By now, Leon and I would probably already be together,” I insisted firmly. She looked me straight in the eye for a long moment, then sighed again. “This is actually
