ADRIENNE felt something on her belly, and those were butterflies again.It has been a week since Pedro moved into her condo unit. The man really has luck on his side.How can Adrienne not say that? The next day, news of a typhoon was reported. The storm was too strong, and it lasted for four days. And now, there's another storm. Heavy rain outside.Every day when she wakes up, Pedro is already beside her. Because she's weak, she can't remove his arms wrapped around her every morning she wakes up.It's like with each passing day, her feelings for Pedro become more intense. Indescribable emotions. She's just falling even more for the man.The man who was embracing her woke up. So, her smiling lips quickly turned into a frown. Adrienne has become better at acting."Let go of me, Pedro. You've made it a habit to sleep beside me every morning, huh? What are you? Superstitious?" Adrienne scolded the man who just laughed and tightened his embrace."Well, I am lucky to have you. I just want t

Adrienne watched as Ethan drove away in his car. Then she went inside. Pedro was waiting for her there. He was wearing a tank top, and boxer shorts, and had a grumpy face."Oh? Why the sour face?" Adrienne asked, amused. Pedro took their child from her."Hug me," the man said with a hint of jealousy in his voice.Adrienne couldn't help but laugh. "Are you planning something?""That hug is out of the plan, but jealousy is an inevitable emotion. At least I can control my temper, right?" the man said. Adrienne kissed Pedro."You know, jealousy is normal in a relationship. But let me tell you something, it should be properly balanced. Because I might think that you don't trust me again, right? Pedro, I gave my love and life to you. If I can give something else, I will... I won't hesitate to say that I love you deeply.""God, what did I do to deserve you?" Pedro muttered gratefully."I also don't know what good karma I had."The next morning, Adrienne woke up to breakfast in bed. She could

ADRIENNE faced her nightmare in front of her. She didn't know, but her feet froze in place on their own. She couldn't imagine her lover's mom coming to greet them with that evil smile."I'm not mistaken. My son has been missing for weeks just to be foolish with you again. This is something I cannot accept!" said the lady, looking at the child in Pedro's arms. "You have a child?" she added in surprise."Mom! Stop bothering us! I don't know where that anger is coming from! I don't care about what people will say, I don't care about our status differences. I love her, she's the mother of my child, and you won't be able to stop us," said Pedro.The anger of Pedro's mother was evident. Adrienne was scared, but she tried to gather herself. She shouldn't be intimidated. She had already experienced that before, and it wouldn't happen again."You don't know what you're saying, Pedro. Leave that woman alone, take your child and send her away. Never, like never, will I accept that woman in our f

Pedro couldn't count how many bottles of alcohol and wine he had already drunk. He never imagined that in his attempt to protect his family, he would destroy it completely.And it was all his mother's fault. It was his fault for being weak and giving in to his mother, Carmela's, desires.He had seen that his mother had taken control of all the stocks of his company. He would lose the company. The bright future that should have been there for his child with Adrienne would disappear.His mother agreed to let him continue his relationship with Adrienne, as long as he married Shane. But his mother was cunning, and now everything was lost to him.He drowned himself in alcohol, consumed by sorrow. He had become a fool; the intelligent Pedro was no more. His mother had once again outsmarted him. The once beautiful mansion he built for Adrienne had turned dark.He fired all the housekeepers and bodyguards the same day Adrienne left the mansion.Pedro admitted his huge mistake. He tried to be

Adrienne had just finished a business meeting with one of the potential investors in her company. She already had a small company that produced coffee and tea products. She was also venturing into the wine industry since she had background knowledge in winery and chemistry. She was embracing her full potential. Now that she decided to be more independent and promised not to rely on anyone, especially Pedro, she pushed herself even harder. She aspired to be a world-class businesswoman."It is nice doing business with you, Ms. McBride," the man said to her. His name was Calvin, an American bachelor with a handsome and model-like appearance. He was also a well-known businessman whom Adrienne had met through her aunt Selena's husband.Adrienne shook hands with the man. "It is nice to talk with you too, Mr. White. I will take my leave now," Adrienne said."Wait," the man stopped her from leaving. "Can we go out next time?" he asked, scratching his head.In truth, the man was at the same le
