Marcus stared at the app he downloaded recently and if it was accurate, Daniella could be in the hospital, suffering labor pains, while he was just in Hacienda Velasquez. He paced back and forth in his apartment like he was the one to give birth. He reminded himself that there was a slim chance that he was not the one who impregnated Daniella. “Uncle Marcus!” Matthew shouted when Marcus didn’t open the door when he already knocked several times. “Matt! What are you doing here?” The child’s voice almost ruined his eardrum. “Is there something wrong?” Marcus asked when he noticed that Matthew looked upset. “I hate them!” He shouted his reply. Marcus pursed his lips upon hearing the child’s outburst. Matthew was Samuel’s youngest son, and unlike his older brother, Carter, Matthew was like an open book. When he’s mad, everybody would know that he was mad. The same goes when he was happy or excited. “Do you mean, all of them? Like including your Mom and Dad?” He verified th

It was around four in the morning when Daniella started to feel some cramps near her abdomen, groin, and back. She felt like she had severe dysmenorrhea and at the same time, it felt like she was constipated. She got up from her bed to call on Patty who was soundly sleeping in the extra bed that was in her room since Marcus was gone. “What’s wrong, Miss Ella?” Patty rubbed her eyes as soon as she heard Ella call for her name. When she saw her massaging her back as she continued to wince in pain, Patty realized that the time has come when Mugsy would see the outside world. “Take a deep breath and relax,” Patty suggested. Daniella’s room was equipped with an intercom and Patty immediately dialed Peter’s room and informed him to get ready because they were going to the hospital. Patty assisted Daniella to go down the stairs when everyone was up and wait for them excitedly. Patty could tell from their faces that they were also excited to see Mugsy. Daniella wanted to relax but

Marcus and Samuel were watching Golden State Warriors versus Cleveland Cavaliers when a parcel was delivered. It must be the result of the paternity test and Marcus got excited to open the envelope. “What the fuck…” he cursed and tore the paper into tiny little pieces. “Marcus, what’s wrong?” Samuel was alarmed when Marcus was mad and tore the papers that he just received via courier. “Why did she make me believe that I was Mugsy’s father when I’m not?” He informed Marcus about the result of the paternity test. Marcus won, and Samuel couldn’t be happy about it because of the additional condition that was set on whoever won. “But then, what’s the big deal? You’ll get your fifty million! “I don’t know Sam, but I was hoping that Mugsy was mine. I was her first! How could she have another man?” Then he recalled their farewell sex at the vineyard and it was too intense for someone who had another man. “Just forget about her,” Samuel said. “Anyway, in the first place,

Her family was loaded and she didn’t have to work for a living, but when she saw Marcus for the first time, she was determined to have him by all means possible. Their first encounter was still vivid in her memory and Alicia always got some butterflies in her stomach every time she recalled that memory. She was with her father to meet with Samuel Velasquez and discuss about business, and he was there with Samuel. Her interest in the man had intensified as Marcus tried hard to discourage her, so when she learned that Hacienda Velasquez was in need of an accountant, she applied for the job, much to the chagrin of her father. She was obsessed with him to the point that she became a stalker. Through the telescope, Alicia saw how his muscles moved while working on a fence. She swooned at Marcus when he took off his t-shirt while working. His body was hot as magma like it was molded with perfection. His muscles were everywhere and it speaks masculinity. Yes, she lusted over his body

Marcus regretted following Alicia into the rain because the woman assumed that he was interested in her, and she dropped intriguing stories to the farm workers. Some believed that they were in a relationship. If only he knew the outcome of his action, he shouldn’t have let his heroic side save that woman. Marcus sighed as he concluded that women of any sort would only bring troubles into his life. Just like Daniella, he remembered the woman who still visited him in his dreams. Alicia insisted on coming with him to Paloma’s birthday, but he refused the woman made a scene that embarrassed him in front of Samuel so he agreed. He was not usually a pushover, but lately, he became so lenient with Alicia. The woman was a flirt and seductive, but he discovered that she was a good person. He had to inform the birthday celebrant that he was coming with an escort. The woman would become handy if he arrived in Oslob and found out that Daniella has a boyfriend, but the woman had a terrible st
