" You are still the same, nothing has changed." Patricia commented. He always had a way with his words and it was the same until now. His sweet and loving words were what made her fall for him back then." That's true, nothing changed. Not even my heart, it still beats for you." Mr Santos said.Even after all these years, he still loved the humble and sweet Tricia he met years ago.He tried to forget about her, erase his love for her in his heart but couldn't.He stayed married to his late wife, he had tried learning how to love her but his first love was deeply embedded in him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get to forget about her.He did not shy to express his feelings for her, he never did in the past and wouldn't be doing that now.After getting reunited, he was hell-bent on marrying her and fulfilling the promise he made to her years ago, that is if she was still willing to accept him.Patricia felt her weak heart skip a beat upon hearing those words. They were the wor
" Our mother." Martina politely reminded her. She could understand that Marina must feel overwhelmed by the new discovery but it is what it is. They were twins and that woman she was asking about was their mother." It's not easy for me to adjust to the fact that u have another mother. You have to give me time." Marina tried to explain." She's here in country A but said that she's spending the night at a friend's house." Martina replied. She was sceptical about this so called friend. After coming here,her mother never talked about a close friend she would want to visit nor was Martina aware of any friend of her mother's." u can't believe what's happening! I mean like who would? it's like all of a sudden we have been transported to fit some romance novel characters where family reunites after spending time apart." Terry said, still in disbelief." You should stop reading those stories. Your imagination is running wild." Marina berated before turning to Martina." So the man we met ea
" As I said, it's a marriage of convenience and he's the only man who met my standards so far." Marina defended. She wasn't going to loose on that matter. There's no way she would admit to Lucas being whatever Terry and Martina were referring him to be." Actually, I met your father..I mean our father today." Martina's confessed." And?" Marina curiously asked." He mistook me for you.He even told me to take my husband home for dinner." Martina revealed making Marina blush, something that did not go unnoticed by Terry." See that!" Terry excited yelled, pointing at Marina's already red face. " Our girl is blushing just by hearing the word husband." Terry and Martina laughed at Marina's flushed face." Just accept you are falling in love already." Terry teased." Don't talk to me." Marina declared, feigning anger. She didn't want to admit anything before these two.The girls finally stopped teasing Marina and spend the night together.The following morning, Terry woke up early and lef
After breakfast, the two left to Tricia and Martina's house where they agreed to meet their daughters.Patricia was excited to finally meet her daughter.She lar longed and missed to see her for more than twenty years. She couldn't believe that she would finally be meeting her in person. She had already given hope of ever seeing her other daughter.All this was thanks to her other daughter Martina for giving in to her request." Are you excited?" Mr Santos asked the obvious." Yeah and a little bit worried." Tricia confessed." Why are you worried?" Tricia contemplated the correct words to use to answer that. Even age didn't know why she was worried.It wasn't her fault in the first place to give birth to her daughters in such a circumstance but it was surely her choice to give away one of her daughters.What if Marina held a grudge about that fact?What if she rejected her because she was abandoned?With such thoughts hitting her brain, her worry kicked in." What if Marina doesn't
The family of four spend time together bonding.Mr Santos expressed his intentions of marrying Tricia.Ofcourse that earned him a good twenty minute teasing from Marina.His daughter was audacious to tell him that she didn't need another sister or brother.The nerve of that child! But regardless, he was happy. Seeing the three most important people in his life happy,made him happy." So when are you going to Introduce me to your future husband?" Tricia Inquired, directing the question to Marina." What husband! I am still looking for a good handsome and rich guy to Marry." Marina retorted.Any topic was good as long as it didn't involve Lucas but it seemed like everybody was hell-bent on poking their noses on her love life." Repeat what you just said young lady?*" Mr Santos voice was threatening.He sounded angry and Marina could tell why. Afterall, Lucas was the ideal son-in-law and a grandson of her father's close friend.She could still remember how pleased the man was when he le
Marina picked up her stuff and headed straight to the airport. As much as she wanted to spend time with her family, she couldn't say no to the mission.Protecting people who needed it and eliminating the evil in the society was what pushed them to form shadow, the most feared and powerful underworld group.The group partnered with the government and other movements to keep peace on the whole of United States and neighbouring countries.After arriving at the airport, she booked herself a plane ticket to catch the enext available flight.Martina who was now in disguise also booked a plane ticket to the same destination.Marina couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching her even when the plane already took off and was heading to California.She had observed and saw nothing or nobody suspicious in the plane but still,that feeling of being monitored did not go away.Clutching her non traceable gun, she tucked it safely on her waistband.The flight to California took an hour
" You think just because you try to hide, they don't know about it?" Martina asked, raising her voice a little." Can you consider what will happen to mom if something happens to you sister? I beg of you please." Martina added, looking at her sister with pleading eyes." She has been through alot just to reunite with you. I have watched her hang on a thread just to get a glimpse of you. You've seen how protective she is of you, please don't take our mother away with worry." She hoped that her sister would listen to her and reconsider." What do you want me to do?" Marina asked, frustrated.Spending time with her mother and seeing how her eyes shone with love and longing every time she looked at her, she didn't want to worry her. But shadow has been her world since she was eighteen years old.She already has her time and efforts invested and she doesn't know if it will survive if she withdraws.It has always been her dream to help eradicate criminals in the society and through shadow
With the help of Martina, the mission was successful. Marina never knew her sister was so awesome. She could still remember how she easily spotted and tackled all the assassins sent to assassinate their client.The two had worked from different positions. While Marina ensured the safety of the client by guarding her one on one, Martina worked under the shadows, detecting any threat and eliminating it immediately.After escorting the client back to the plane after settling everything here, the two boarded a plane back home." Remember your promise." Martina reminded her sister as she leaned on the seat and took a plane. Looking at her sister's peaceful face, Marina's heart softened.She would give anything to have her sister free from worry about her. The best she could do was quit shadow. She had worked for years and she believed that it was enough. She would focus her energy on her father's company and family. If things went well, she'll take her sister's advice and confess to that c
