"I want you to get married as soon as possible." She couldn't help to stand up outrageously as shock started enveloping her system after hearing her father's statement. Their Dad just arrived at the mansion. He ordered her and Alec to meet him in the study room for an unknown reason. Senior Alonzo De Hizon was the lord of the house, whatever he said, it will be like a rule must need to follow. "D-Dad!" Fright and different emotions radiated her face now. Marry Alec? Her brother? This is preposterous! "What! Is this some kind of joke, old man!" Alec burst out. With the look on his face, he may be managing to keep his composure but it was obvious he was now pissed at the moment. "Did it sounds like one to you, young man? You heard me, I want you to get married as soon as possible." Her father uttered solemnly again. His face was drop-dead serious and knowing her Dad, he doesn't know the word joke. "B-But D-Dad, w-were siblings!"

Feeling agitated, she watched the family doctor examined Alec as he was lying on the bed unconscious. He got bruises and wounds on his arms and face from the impact of falling hard from the horse. "How was he, Dr. Ramirez? " Mr. De Guzman- the mansion's butler asked worriedly to the doctor after he examined Alec. "He obtained some bruises and wounds all over his body and some minor fractures on the left hand and his left leg. Thank God he did not fell into the rocky surface and hit his head." The doctor stated. "Thank you so much, Doctor Edwards. Senior Alonzo was worried sick when he found out what happened. He immediately called from Italy checking on his Unico Hijo (only boy child). Is he going to be fine now?" Mr. De Guzman queried. "As soon as he woke up, he might be feeling unbearable pain towards the injury he obtained from the accident so I advised to inject him a pain reliever. Be sure to let him take his medicines on time. I'll send a person

Alec came to the hacienda this summer but he was more different now. With the stiff and cold treatment he shows, that made a big question in her mind. He became more aloof and very weird. The occurrence that happened yesterday made her sulk and confused about him. Not expecting him to come home this summer, she got surprised when she saw him standing from afar watching the horses in the paddock. With that, a surge of happiness and excitement filled her the reason why she couldn't resist herself running to him and embracing him from the back to show how much she had badly missed him. It's been almost a year and she was so glad he chose to come home in his summer vacation. But instead of being happy, he went furious and irritated for what she did. Did Alec hate her that much to be mad in that simple gesture of sweetness? Is he that disgusted on her until now to even treat her rudely that way? To Alec, she doesn't know how to please and make him like her. For an unknown reaso

A week after she arrived back at the hacienda from Russia, Alec came home at the mansion that surprised her. He was with friends and according to Nana Marcela, Alec invited them to spend their vacation in the hacienda.That morning, she descended the stairs and went down the kitchen to asked for a glass of milk when she found the servants busy cooking and preparing a lot of foods. She usually takes her breakfast in the kitchen and find time to chat with the servants because it feels lonely eating alone in a luxurious dining room with a wide long table in it. She curiously asked Nana Marcela what's the occasion why they suddenly preparing lots of food this morning. That's when the old lady told her that Alec came home in the mansion with his friends and they were preparing it for lunch later. According to Nana Marcela, they arrived last night and his friends were now occupying the two guest rooms on the second floor. With an excited feeling, she immediately

"Hey!" Joachin called her attention. She was at the stable preparing Snowy for a ride that morning. Planning to take Snowy for a run in the fields, she intended to wake up early in that morning as her morning exercise routine."Oh, hi Joachin!" She greeted back."You're going somewhere?" He queried as he was watching her fix the saddle on the horse."I'll take Snowy for a run this morning." She replied."Can I come with you? I'll ride Shrek."Shrek was the horse he used to ride when they tour him and Cristel around the hacienda. The horse was tame and easy to maneuver unlike Thunder Storm and Cyclone who only follows their master- Alec. Funny because the horse seems to like Joachin too because they never experienced such behavioural problems of the stallion when he being ridden by Joachin."So what now? Can I come with you?" Joachin insisted.She thought f
