Marcus’ POV

I was enjoying a day out at the vegetable farm with my kids when I suddenly noticed Selia standing beside us.

"Good morning, Marcus," she greeted with a basket in her hand. She must be here to harvest some vegetables.

"Good morning. Are you picking some vegetables?" I asked.

"Yes. Do you want to try it too?" she replied.

"Daddy, I want to try!" Belle said excitedly.

"Me too, Papa! I eat vegetables all the time. Mama always makes me eat them. That’s why I’m big and strong!" my son chimed in, making me laugh. I playfully ruffled his hair.

"Alright, let’s start picking," I said.

The kids were bouncing with excitement. I held their hands as we walked into the farm. The green fields around us looked so peaceful and refreshing.

As I watched the kids happily picking, Selia turned to me.

"Marcus... I missed you."

I looked at her, eyebrows raised.

"How’s life here in the hacienda? Do you have a boyfriend now?" I asked.

She sighed.

"You already know the answer, Marcus. I still love

    Marcus' POVMy glare could burn through him. After everything my family did for his, taking them in, helping them, and this is how he repays us?“You have no gratitude! My family treated you well!” I gripped my gun tight and pointed it at him.“Gratitude?” Uncle Berto barked. “We served your family all our lives! I worked on this land for years. That debt you’re talking about? I already paid it in full! What I cannot accept is how you played with my daughter’s heart!”“You do not even know what really happened,” he went on, fists clenched. “You did not see how my daughter cried. You threw her aside like she meant nothing!”I stared at him, my chest tightening. “I owe you no explanation. Selia and I were never in a relationship, so stop acting like I used her.”Uncle Berto shook his head, voice rising, “You are the reason I lost my grandchild! You have no idea, my daughter lost her mind because of you. I stayed quiet about what you did to her. Now it is your turn to feel the pain of lo

    Natalia's POV“Toper, sweetheart, have you seen your sister Belle?” I asked, my voice a little shaky.My little boy looked up from where he sat on the floor playing with his toy. “I saw her over there, Mama,” he said, pointing toward the vegetable garden.A strange feeling hit my chest. “Stay right here, okay? Mama will go find your sister.”He nodded, but the worry in me was growing. Please, let her be safe. Let nothing bad happen to my little girl.I searched every corner of the garden, calling her name, but she was nowhere in sight.I quickly called Marcus. He had gone to the mango farm to harvest today. After a few rings, he finally answered.“Hello, honey. Why are you calling?” he asked, his voice mixed with background chatter from his workers.“Marcus, is Belle with you? Please tell me she’s there.”“No, sweetheart. I left alone. I have not seen her.”I bit my lip as panic crept deeper into my chest. “I have looked everywhere. The entire garden, the backyard, even near the gat

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Natalia is still distant from me

    Marcus' POVNatalia is still distant from me. I understand her, but sometimes I feel like giving up. This situation is getting harder for me. We live in the same house, but it feels like we are strangers.“Daddy, why do you not sleep beside Mommy anymore? Are you two fighting?” Belle asked. I looked at Natalia, who glanced at our daughter.“Ah, no, sweetie. It is just that Toper is used to sleeping beside Mommy, so he is with her for now,” I said, scratching my head.“But I am not scared even if you are not beside me when I sleep. Because I am a big girl now,” Belle explained.“Toper is still a baby, sweetie. He is not used to sleeping alone yet,” I said with a sigh. I really miss sleeping beside my wife, but that feels impossible now.“Mama, let us go to the mall! Sister and I want to play at Toy Kingdom,” Toper said. I smiled, seeing how close the two of them are.“We will go on Saturday. Is that okay with you, sweetheart?” I said when Natalia stayed quiet. Our youngest lit up with

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   She had no idea it was a marriage contract

    Marcus’ povI looked up when someone entered my office.“Hi Marcus!” said Ava, my god-sister.I smiled. It had been years since I last heard from her. I stood up and gave her a warm hug.“Hey, it has been a while. How have you been?” I asked as we sat on the sofa.“Well, I went abroad to clear my mind. I am sorry I was not able to stay in touch. I knew you were also going through a lot and had your own life to fix. I am aware of everything that happened to you over the past few years,” she said.“Are you planning to stay in the Philippines for good?” I asked.“Yes. Life abroad felt lonely. I am okay now,” she replied.I did not want to ask about what she went through. I sighed. I did not want to talk about the things I did to Natalia either. I still feel ashamed. I was hurt, but I also hurt her in return.“How is your child with Natalia?” she asked.“She has grown. She is such a kind girl,” I said with a smile.“I heard you have another child,” she said, looking at me.“With someone e

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Why are you crying?

    Marcus’ PovI was just watching Natalia while she prepared food for our children. She did not say a word to me. It felt like I was invisible, just someone in the background. She only spoke when I asked her something, and even then, her replies were short.I turned around and headed to the library. I did not go to work today. I decided to stay home for now, just in case Natalia suddenly left.I glanced at the door when I heard it open. My wife walked in, her face serious. My heart started pounding as I looked at her. That always happens whenever she is near me, especially when our eyes meet."Marcus, the kids are looking for you. They thought you left. Belle is crying," she said.I quickly finished arranging some papers and stood up. When she turned around to leave, I followed her. I wanted so badly to hug her from behind, but I was scared she would only get more upset. I stayed quiet and walked after her."Daddy!" Belle got down from her chair and ran to me. I picked her up and kissed
