âWhat's wrong?â Alan asked, his expression calm and neutral, even though his thoughts were swirling with questions and doubts, and seeing the look of panic and hesitation in Michelle's beautiful eyes wasn't helping. He was a man, and even if they still were in the trial period of working on their marriage, the thought of Michelle seeing another man felt like a sword had penetrated his heart. âUm. It turned out I really can't put on the gown without help. And I was checking if a maid was around. AndâŠâ Michelle was saying but Alan cut her off. âI can help out, if you don't mind.â Alan offered, his face unreadable. âOh. Right.â Michelle murmured with a weird laugh. âYes. Sure. I don't mind.â She lied. She minds very much. She's not ready yet; she's almost naked with her zipper down. Alan will see everything. The lingerie. This is embarrassing. At this thought, Michelle decided to turn the lights out when she has sex with Alan. She was still self-conscious. Luis was the only man
Michelle walked out of the bathroom after a soothing and refreshing bath.She walked out in her bathrobe, with a towel draped around her hair.Her eyes moved to the set of lingerie on her bed, and she sighed.âAlan is handsome, caring, and loves Mitchell like he was his. And he loves me. I won't regret my decision tonight. He deserves my love.â Michelle murmured in an assuring voice, which sounded more like she was trying to convince herself.She slipped on the lingerie as she looked at herself in the mirror.However, a shiver ran down her spine when Luis appeared in the mirror.He stood towering behind her, his face buried in the crook of her neck, planting wet kisses, his haggard breath pricking her skin and awakening goosebumps all over her.âLuisâŠâ she gasped with wide eyes. âHow are youâŠhere?â she trails off when Luis looks up. His piercing dark orbs take in her appearance.At the scrutiny of his gaze, Michelle felt an aching throb deep between her inner thighs.âDid you miss me,
Inside Lucy's ward, Diego had a damp towel in his arms as he gently wiped the sweat on Lucy's forehead.The door was pushed open, and the doctor entered just as she opened her eyes.âMy love, how are you feeling?â Diego asked, cupping her cheek.âLucia, howâs my baby doing?â Lucy asked, sitting up, her heart racing with anxiety as she recalled the reason she had fainted. Diego sighed heavily and replied,âShe's fine; I left her ward just a few minutes ago.â Lucy nodded, heaving a breath she didn't know she was holding, but then, she saw the worried look in her husband's eyes and demanded,âWhat's wrong? Why do you look like that?â Diego took her hand in his but didn't answer her as he turned to the doctor and questioned, âHow's my wife?â He wanted to know how Lucy was doing before he told her Martina knows Lucia is her daughter, and this time, they have to let her go.The doctor stepped forward and announced with a smile,âCongratulations, Mr. And Mrs. Gracia, you're going to become
âLet go of meâŠ!â Clara choked out, not meeting Octavio's eyes. She didn't want to get lost in his intense gaze and end up thinking with her heart instead of her mind.âClarissa. Please. I just need you to hear me out.â Octavio said, with a pitiful expression that even Drake felt bad for him and said to Clara.âListen to him; I will go and check on Marco and the rest.â Clara reluctantly nodded after scrutinizing Drake's face for any sign of discomfort or disappointment, but there was none.âYou have two minutes.â Clara told Octavio the moment Drake walked away.âThe reason why I kicked you out of the car was because I received news of my parent's death. I was so frustrated and ended up venting out my emotions on you.â Octavio admitted. He knew Clara was softhearted and would understand him if he told her that.After all, it wasn't a lie. His parents are dead, and he's now an orphan. But his dad and entire family were killed by Luis, her brother, and there was nothing wrong with him usi
âYou know what to do.âLuis nodded and walked into the ward, his eyes moving to Selena, hugging her dad as she wept with Jose's hand weakly wrapped around her.âI'm sorry, Dad, I shouldn't have brought you here. It's all my fault⊠Forgive me. I love you so much. I'm sorry.ââIt's okay, my child, as long as you're happy.â Jose whispered into Selena's ear, and her body froze as she looked up abruptly, looking into her father's eyes.The words âyou knew,â written all over her face. Jose smiled weakly at her and nodded. He heard her on the phone when she spoke to her assailants.He was very hurt and heartbroken at first, but then he understood; after all, he already had one foot in his grave. But the person he hated was Luis.It was all Luis' fault; he had pushed his daughter to the point of killing him in order to secure her position by his side.Which is why he also paid three of Lucia's schoolmates to rape her brutally a week ago after he found out his daughterâs plan.He wanted Luis
Luis frowned when the elevator opened and both Selena and her dad, Jose, stepped out.âMaster Luis, how is the madam doing?â Jose inquired, his face etched with worry, when he stopped in front of Luis.âShe's doing fine,â Luis replied, with a flat face.âThat's great. I heard from Selena that she is in the hospital, so I decided to come and see her and pay my respects to her one last time before I leave tomorrow.â Jose explained, and Luis registered that Jose is indeed retiring and is leaving on retirement tomorrow.So putting aside his anger, he gestured ahead and said,âThis way,â to Mr. Jose. Mr. Jose smiled, nodding as he about to take the lead.But the next second the sound of something piercing through the glass wall rang, and a bullet scratched Luis' shoulder.He knew since the bullet had missed him, it was now aimed at the person in front of him.But it was too late since the bullet had pierced Jose's head. His body dropped to the floor.Luis' eyes moved to Selena, who stood
