Audrey’s POV

I don’t understand why I’m so nervous. In just a little while, I’ll be meeting Mr. Ford for the first time, and I still can’t forget the way he looked at me the last time, like he was reading straight through me with just his eyes.

If only I could refuse what Papa wants. But I know how much I owe him, and this is such a small favor in return for everything he’s done. Besides, as the future daughter-in-law, I really need to start learning about their family’s business.

“Ishhh…” I hugged myself, shivering just at the thought.

“Ma’am, are you alright? Are you cold? Should I turn down the air conditioning?” the driver asked politely.

“Ah, no, Manong. I’m fine,” I replied softly, forcing the nerves away.

I pretended to be busy watching the world outside the window, memorizing the streets, distracting myself with the scenery.

“Ma’am, we’re here.”

I startled. I hadn’t realized I’d been staring blankly out the window the whole time.

“Oh, okay… Thank you, Manong. I’ll get down now

    AUDREY’S POVI still can’t believe it, Nicholas Ford was the architect of this place?Wow. This hotel… it’s stunning. Elegant, modern, but full of soul. You can tell it was designed by someone with an eye for beauty and depth. He really is that talented.“We worked hard on this for years. That’s why I owe Nick a lot of gratitude,” the man beside him said, giving Nick a hearty pat on the back as if they were long-time friends.My brows furrowed. So… they’re close?“My apologies again, Miss Castellan,” the man continued. “It’s just, you really look like Nick’s ex. Both of you are beautiful. They used to come here together, so I mistook you for her.”I whipped my head toward Nick, eyes wide.“Uhmm.” That was all he muttered, his gaze fixed sharply on the man. But that single sound was enough to silence him instantly.So Jessica is Nick’s ex? That only made me more curious. Who exactly was Jessica? And… what role did she play in Nick’s life?When we reached the restaurant, we were escor

    ELENA’S POVGood thing I managed to stop that slap. Otherwise, I might’ve broken the woman’s arm. The nerve!I instinctively stepped back when Sage arrived. It felt like we were suddenly on the set of a drama, everyone staring, some recording videos, gossiping. In just seconds, it turned into a live drama scene right at the hotel entrance.“Mr. San Fernando!” the woman gasped, her eyes wide.Sage’s glare as he walked closer was sharp, his presence so intense it felt like a storm had swept in. Chilling.I almost laughed at the woman’s expression, like a wilted vegetable, terrified, unsure whether to run or kneel. Clearly not used to being humiliated in public.“You dare try to hurt my fiancée?” Sage asked, cold but cutting. You could almost hear the tension in the air.“So-sorry, Mr. San Fernando! I-I made a mistake!” the woman stammered, unable to look him in the eye.“My apologies, Sir,” added the man beside her, trembling.I shook my head, holding back a laugh. They were pathetic, b

    AUDREY’S POVI gave Elena a quick once-over from head to toe. She was wearing a fitted, sleeveless black turtleneck that emphasized her figure, paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers that gave her a polished look. Unlike her usual style, her hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail, simple, yet classy. She carried an aura of a model off-duty.“Ha-ha!” Carly burst out laughing, instantly catching on to what Elena’s look implied.“One car will do, Carly,” I said as we walked outside.“Okay,” she replied, shaking her head and chuckling while glancing at Elena, who clearly looked uncomfortable in her outfit.I just smiled. She’ll get used to it, I thought.We decided to have lunch at a luxurious European restaurant inside a five-star hotel. There seemed to be an event at the venue, the lobby was bustling with people, most dressed in evening attire, and a few familiar faces from the media.As the three of us entered, I instantly felt eyes on us.I could feel the attention.Men turned t

    AUDREY’S POVThe breeze felt wonderful, brushing against my face as my hair danced freely with the wind. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was like music to my ears, heavy, rough, yet with a rhythm that soothed my heart.“Nick…?”“Uhm?”“Nick, what if… I’m not really a Laviste?”He fell silent.“What if I don’t actually belong to the family I grew up with? What if… I’ve been living someone else’s life?”I clutched myself tighter.“What if… I’m all alone in this world?”My voice cracked, and tears spilled before I could stop them.“H-huhuhu…”But he didn’t leave me. Instead, he gently wrapped his arms around me from behind, his voice warm against my ear.“I can be your family, Jes. If you’ll let me… I’d love to be your family. You have me.”Despite the confusion, a strange comfort touched my heart. Things weren’t clear, but in that moment… I didn’t feel alone.…..“Huh!”I bolted upright, gasping for air, cold sweat dripping down my nape.“What was that…?” I whispered.

    Scarlett’s POV“Won’t you let us in?” George asked, his eyes fixed on me.I froze. We were still standing by the condo door. I didn’t even notice.“Oh… sorry,” I finally managed to say before stepping aside to let them in.“You know what, Mommy? We went to the playground! And it was so much bigger than the one we went to before!” Aiah shared excitedly as she walked straight inside.George followed quietly, carrying bags upon bags of toys and other things.“George, you didn’t have to buy Aiah this much,” I said, eyeing the pile of shopping bags, my tone slightly irritated.“These are nothing. In fact, it’s not even enough… and you know that,” he said firmly, his voice laced with bitterness as he looked at me.I fell silent. His words carried weight. There was reproach in them.“Are you hungry? Let’s eat,” I tried to ease the tension.“No, we already ate, Mommy!” Aiah immediately answered.“Dylan, Uncle, and I got so tired at the mall, so we needed to replenish our energy, that’s why we

    Scarlett’s POVI was so caught up at the gallery that I didn’t even notice the time. When I finally glanced at the clock, it was already quarter to four.“Oh my God!” I shot up from my chair, panic rushing through me. I completely forgot about Aiah!The meeting had dragged on longer than expected, and I didn’t realize I’d missed pick-up. I grabbed my bag and phone in a hurry.“Marie, I have to go. I’ll be back later. I need to fetch Aiah, I forgot,” I said as I rushed out.“Okay, Miss Carlson,” she replied, her eyes following me with concern.I practically sprinted to the parking lot. While driving, I tried calling Aiah, but she didn’t answer. Even if the school was close to both the gallery and our condo, I was trembling, my heart racing.“My poor baby… she’s been waiting almost an hour,” I whispered, forcing myself to stay calm.When I parked, I rushed straight to the guard.“I’m here to pick up my daughter, Aiah Carlson,” I said, panting.He called inside, then turned back to me.“
