That hour after midnight, when the Houston Mansion alerted Enrique about Isabella's situation, he called someone on the phone. That time, he didn't just visit his uncle but he also meet someone in a private room in that person's own bar, the Cymbals.When that someone saw his caller ID, he thought twice of swiping the green icon. After a couple of rings, he finally decided to answer."What on earth brought you to call me, Manager Houston?" he asked with wry smile.He was in his private room in Cymbals. He locked himself inside contemplating on his relationship with Madeline and his feelings with Samantha. He could hear the loud music and the scream of the bar hoppers on the first floor but he was too lazy to check on them."My sister ran away from Ireland and she might be here in the US!" Enrique answered.Albert chuckled."So, what if she ran away? I don't care about your sister!""You don't understand what I mean, Michaels! You maybe don't care a

..(warning: gruesome incident)"Why are you doing this?" he asked with his eyes wide open still in doubt if he heard Benjamin wrong."Obey us first, Michaels if you want us to spare your heir's life!" Lance uttered instead.Christopher's shoulders fell. His eyes showed defeat. His son's life was in danger. He didn't want to stain his hands with blood from the innocent four year old's life but he had no choice."What about my wife?" he then remembered.Hopefully, they didn't include her in this deadly bait. She was already suffering from her illness that consumed her life few years later."Don't worry, we know her life is already in thin line. She's in your bed, sleeping quietly!" Benjamin replied with a smirk.Even that they knew he thought. These people whom he never thought would become his enemies for a lifetime, indeed prepared everything. The illness of Christopher's first wife was unknown to everyone especially in the world of com

"How does Enrique know we're here?" she even had the nerve to ask the going to explode man beside her."Why not ask him later?" Albert angrily asked back."Does that mean, you two are in good terms now? That's great!" Samantha exclaimed in excitement."No, of course not! Never!" Albert replied as he left her and went to the pantry.Samantha just followed him with her baffled looks. But also shrugged off when she thought his reactions were just normal. She even thought, he was jealous!When suddenly, a loud knock on the door almost made her jump to her feet. If that was Enrique, then why was he sound upset? She immediately went towards the door and opened it.And she was right!A dark as the darkness outside face greeted her reluctant smile."Enrique, what brought you here?" Samantha anxiously asked."Brought you dinner. I know you didn't have dinner yet!" Enrique raised the food from a big styrofoam box."Please, come in. How do you

That night, Samantha was having a peaceful sleep while she hugged her pillow tight. But, in his case, he was staring at the ceiling still pondering on what could have happened if that annoying rain and wave didn't come to their way.He glanced at his phone on the side table. It was ten in the evening. Was she asleep he asked himself. But she slept the whole day today he also snapped back. His hand was itching to call her. He was about to reach his phone when his mind screamed 'NO! Let her rest, id*ot!'"Hrrrr!" out of annoyance, he kicked his duvet till half of it fell on the floor.He got up and strode out of his room. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He took a bottle of mineral water and gulped half of it. He was about to go back upstairs when he heard heavy steps at the dining room. He turned around and took a peek at the slightly open door.He smiled when he saw Samantha going to the kitchen. When he swung the door open, Samantha almost jumped to

In Maria's place...Fe stayed in their place which was an hour ride by bus from the mansion the whole weekend. She cooked dinner for Isabella since Maria was working at night. She also helped her with her chores.After their lunch..."Let me do your laundry, Isabella!" Fe offered when she saw that she was just gawking at the laundry machine."Ahm! I don't know how to use this. Can you teach me, Aunt Fe?" Isabella shyly uttered."Of course. Don't worry, this is easy. Come here!" Fe found Isabella adorable when she asked shyly. She thought of Samantha right away. They're the same she uttered inwardly. Just that Isabella acted really elegantly while Samantha was a bit careless."Make sure to separate your laundry first. There are some clothes that aren't machine wash. Let me see!" Fe scanned her dirty clothes while Isabella was getting redder and redder especially when she held her innerwear."Ahm, Aunt Fe. This is embarrassing!" Isabella took her lac
