CHAPTER 48 AUGUSTUS keep on glaring Elias who doesn’t seem to care. Kanina pa niya ito tinatapunan ng mga masasamang tingin. Kung nakakamatay lang ang pagtingin, siguro ay nilamay na si Elias.  Mahinang napailing si Hera at tinapik ang balikat ni Elias saka pasimpleng itinuro si Augustus na masama pa rin ang tingin.  “Seems like someone is really carrying some burden on you, Eli. Ano ba kasing ginawa mo?” pabulong niyang tanong kay Elias.  Elias shrugged and smile teasingly while looking at Augustus.  “I didn't do anything, he’s just threatened by me.” Kompyansa nitong sagot na para bang sigurado ito sa sinasabi nito.  “Hey! Stop talking to my fiancé, Ivanov!” Biglang angal ni Augustus

  CHAPTER 50   IT'S ALREADY evening and Hera decided for him to stay in their mansion. Tulog na ang lahat, tahimik na din sa loob at labas ng mansion, but Augustus can't still sleep. Hindi siya dinalaw ng antok kaya naman ay napag-isipan niyang bumaba at uminom ng beer.      Papunta na sana siya sa kusina nang makita niya ang bulto ng isang lalaki. Napahinto siya ng bahagya nang makilala ito. It's Elias, currently getting a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. Napabuntong-hininga nalang siya at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.      "Why are you still here? Wala ka bang bahay na mauuwian?" Hindi niya maitago ang inis sa boses niya nang makalapit siya dito. Hindi man lang ito nagulat sa biglaan niyang pagsulpot. Elias even glanced at him like he was just nothing.      Elias handed him the bottle of beer after opening it. "Her

CHAPTER 52 NERVOUSNESS attacked Hera's heart when the two of them sitting on the sofa. Nakaharap siya sa ginang na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa mahabang sofa habang siya naman ay nakaupo sa kabilang sofa. She can feel the awkwardness between them, or it's just her feeling it? Facing Augustus' mother is making her heart thumps loudly as it will explode at any moment. His mother is really intimidating as she stared at her. She tried to hide the nervousness she is feeling, hoping that it will really be hidden. "You're an Arison, right?" The woman suddenly asked after a long silence. Bahagya pa siyang napaigtad sa biglaang pagsalita nito, kapagkuwan ay tumango. "Daughter of Feloso and Heraya, the only woman in the Arison clan. Balita ko ay ikaw na ang mamamahala sa lahat ng negosyo at ari-arian ng ama mo?" Hindi alam ni Hera kung bakit napunta sa mga magulang niya ang topic nila. She thought she wants to talk about her and Augus

 CHAPTER 54 "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, HERA!" Malakas na tinig ng kanyang ina ang kaagad na bumungad sa kanya pagkapasok niya sa mansion ni Augustus.  Lumabas kasi silang magpamilya, her, Augustus, and their kids, to the mall and amusement park. They spend almost three hours wandering around the mall and enjoying the rides in the amusement park.  She gave her mother a forced smile and asked innocently. "What did I do, Mom?"  Her mother shook her head as she placed her hand on her temple, massaging it.  Of course Hera knew why her mother is acting fury to her. She set her up to talk to Augustus' mother.  "I can't believe this," her mother whispered in the air and point herself. "Me, your own mother. How can you frame me with that woman?!"  Hindi natinag si Hera sa lakas ng

 EPILOGUE "MOMMY! DADDY!" Hera and Augustus' youngest child welcome them with a warm hug. Kaagad na umuklo si Hera at Augustus para yakapin ito at halikan ang pisngi ng babae nilang anak na si Ashera.  "How is my little princess doing?" Augustus asked in a soft voice and slightly pinched Ashera's cheek.  Si Hera naman ay nagtungo sa sala kung nasaan nandoon ang kambal niyang anak, si Hero at Hermina. The two of them are both turning eighteen next month while Ashera is turning five four months from now. Hera can't still accept that her babies are now grown-ups, especially Hero who is now changing like his father, a womanizer, and a handsome one. While Hermina on the other hand is busy with her studies.  "Hey, Mom." Kaagad na bati sa kanya ni Hero nang makita siya nito. Hero hug her and kissed her cheeks. Hera glared at her son and flick
