Shaina stayed in her seat eventhough the people attended the meeting were gone. Ralph patiently awaits her decision. He didn’t want to force the girl eventhough it was her job. It will totally change her life once she appears in public and the people who know her will be able to socialize with her. A few minutes later, Shaina sighed before speaking. “I accept their challenge.”“Are you sure?” Ralph asked worriedly but his face was happy with the girl’s decision. Shaina smiled sparingly and nodded. She also couldn’t bear to watch his friend’s business sink. Another thing is that she is one of the shareholders of the company he built. He helped her a lot and now is the time to return his kindness to her.At the Villanova family’s mansion, Travis struggled to stand on his own again. Joshua and his mother are not around because they are busy with the company. In his study of the document in the company, Joshua was able to operate it well. From what he can see, the board members and stock
Upon entering the old woman’s room, Shaina immediately revealed about her twin children. She saw the surprise on the face of her grandmother’s at first, then she started crying. “We wasn’t there for you, so you must have suffered. I and your father did nothing.”“Don’t be sad, grandma. There is a good person who helped me there, he is the reason why I didn’t come here immediately.”Understandably, Cristy caressed her granddaughter’s cheek again. She was happy and Shaina had a second family. Somehow, her will to leave the world is now secure because Shaina is in a much better situation.“Grandma, I have one more thing to apologize for. I don’t want to antagonize our family, but I just followed my heart when I started a life in Italy.” Cristy just listened to her granddaughter’s story about her current situation. At first, she was hurt but she didn’t blame her. Besides, she taught her to become confident and be successful in life. She should be happy because she has proven something to
“Thank you for your concern, Aunt Matilda, but you are not in Italy to think that I only had flings or go out with different foreign men in there. Besides, I am not like your daughter who is afraid of running out of men.” She was still smiling at the woman and emphasized the last sentence. “How dare yo—” “Matilda, we are in front of the food!” Jessy quickly scolded his wife before she could finish what she had to say. “Are you insulting us?” Lovely’s heart swelled with anger. “Lovely,” Angeline called softly her sister to stop her from speaking. “Oh, I was only responding your mother, My Dear Cousin. I guess she deserve to hear the truth.” Shaina pretended to be angry. “Shaina, the food is getting cold.” Gabriel scooped up a dish and placed it on his daughter’s plate. “Matilda, everybody is changing. Don’t make judging a habit.” Cristy’s voice was gentle but not happy with what she heard. Matilda never spoke again. As much as possible, she does not want her husband’s mother to
“I don’t like your sense of humor, are you joking or mocking our mother?”The confidence in the aura of Matilda’s face suddenly disappeared. Her insulting look gradually changed to anger at the same time as her lips pressed firmly together. As if she was being slapped and humiliated infront of her family when a little boy criticize her behavior. “Adrian, she’s your grandmother.” Shaina calmly scolded her son but she couldn’t help but smile at what she heard. “You see? Even the boy was not happy with your judgmental attitude.” Annoyed, Jessy’s sermon to his wife. Matilda snobbed her husband and her shame on herself just increased.“She was insulting you, Mommy. So what if Pappy Daisy is our biological father? Why does she have to ask you in a sarcastic way? Family should not ask you like that.”Angeline and Lovely were speechless. The young boy was right and even surpassed like an old man in the way he’s speaking. Sometimes Lovely was really annoyed by her mother’s behavior. She was
On the day of the event, Shaina got ready early to go to the bidding’s venue. She is determined to be match with Angeline now even if her own family’s company will get affected. At Travis’s house, Angeline waited patiently for the young man. They must reach the hall together. She was confident that their company would remain the one chosen by Travis. Travis stared at the woman sitting on the sofa. When she smiled upon seeing him, his expression remained blank. He stared at her body as she move and stood up. Angeline is tall and has a beautiful body shape. She’s wearing a red dress that fitted to her body, that made her look attractive. The girl’s dress also had a deep groove in the chest and exposed her cleavage. It wasn’t obscene to look at but Travis didn’t like that. They don’t just go to events.“Son, it’s Angeline who can go with you in the car,” Matilda provoked the young man’s silence. The smile on Angeline’s lips was erased when there was no readable emotion on Travis’s fac
In her mind, Angeline cursed Shaina as she watched her in front of the crowd. Many people are impressed by her presentation and Joshua is one of them. Travis still had a blank expression on his face. She didn’t know what he was thinking but she saw him looking at the file he was holding. Everyone applauds after Shaina performs at the front. A sweet smile appeared on her lips and thanked them before returning to her seat. “And now, the next one is the beautiful and talented granddaughter of Chairman Cristy Monreal. Their company is one of the most famous in the Philippines. Most of all, she is a special someone to our handsome CEO, Mr. Travis Villanova!”Everyone applauds and looks in awe at Angeline sitting next to Travis. Travis frowned slightly because of the emcee’s last words. For him, that is off topic and should not interfere with the participant’s personal affairs. The emcee quickly looked away from the CEO when he saw that he didn’t like what he said regarding the relationsh
“I will introduce myself to you, but you must stay at this hotel tonight.” After re-reading the piece of paper, Travis crumpled it and threw it in the trash can. He made sure it wouldn’t be read in case anyone else saw it. He still doesn’t trust the mysterious sender. But he had to gamble to get his memory back, as soon as possible.Angry and in a hurry, Matilda went up to the 10th floor of the hotel and went to Travis. She knew where his room was. His room in this hotel was the one she hadn’t opened before because the security was tight. The hotel’s manager doesn’t want to give the key card of that room as long as Travis is alive. She doesn’t know how Travis got close to the manager of said hotel and found out about his private room there.“Who’s there?” Matilda blew air through her mouth first and calmed herself down before answering. “Travis, son, this is your Mommy. Can I come in?”Using the remote to unlock the door, Travis was forced to open it for the stepmother. “The door is
“Speak!” Travis ordered the man authoritatively while holding the gun tightly. “My name is Cyrus, sir.” Travis furrowed his eyebrows and remembered where he had first heard that name. A few moments later he lowered the pointed gun at the man. “How can I be sure that you are the detective I ordered before?” “It is not unknown to you that I was involved in the fall of Ben’s car in a cliff. There is no one else who knows I’m still alive, especially your family.” His eyebrows furrowed even more because Cyrus clearly did not trust his brother and stepmother. “Sir, before you had an accident, you didn’t even trust your family. The fact that you hired me to investigate a woman you had a one-night stand with is the proof.”“Then I really sent you to find that woman to marry?” “I didn’t know that marrying that woman was part of your plan. You only sent me to find the woman because you wanted to know who wanted to ruin your reputation.” Travis clenched his fist when he realized that he
