As Erik stepped out of his car, he was immediately engulfed by a profound sadness as he gazed at the large house in front of him. "Mia, I miss you so much," he whispered before pushing open the gate to drive the car into the yard.He quickly parked his vehicle and as he got out, a tricycle pulled up in front of the house with Rosanna and Dahlia inside. "Erik, do you have any news about Mia?" Dahlia asked him immediately as they approached.Erik had lost count of how many times he had heard the same question from the two of them. The truth is, it seemed like he woke up, lived, and returned home every day just to hear that same question over and over again.With a sad shake of his head, Erik replied, "It seems like we have no other option, Erik. We really need to post on social media to find her," Rosanna said, her tone indicating that she was also running out of patience.Erik sighed and shook his head once again. "I don't think it will be a good idea if we will consider Mia’s safety,

"I can accompany you there if you want," Mia said softly."Do you think that's a good idea?" Nathaniel asked her."Yes, definitely. If you manage to get her picture, at least we'll know where to start looking for your sister," she replied."So, meaning to say you are willing to help me?" the young man clarified, briefly turning to look at her.At that moment, Nathaniel precisely stopped the car in front of the gate of their large house. As it was already late afternoon, they spotted Nanny Ising sweeping the front yard."Yes, of course. It's just a small way for me to repay all the kindness you and Nanny Ising have shown me and my baby," she said, smiling as she unbuckled her seat belt.Nathaniel's face brightened as he looked at her. Then his hand moved, gently tapping her cheek."Alright, let's discuss that later. I need to ask Aunt Ising first about the shelter," he added, preemptively getting out of the car to open the door for her.*****"I still remember that shelter. Why did you

On that evening, Erik also accompanied his mother home. But he promised to come back the next day because Aurora said she would cook Beef Caldereta."Happy?" Erik asked her as she asked him to lie down beside her.Mia lovingly leaned her head on his shoulder. "Extremely happy," she said, gazing at him.Erik gently kissed her forehead. Afterward, their lips met and lingered for a while."Wait a minute," Mia said, releasing her lips from the young man's as she noticed the deepening of his kisses.Erik was surprised by what she did, then he held her face to claim her lips once again."We can't do this here," Mia said, laughing.Even though Erik didn't say anything, she knew him well. And the way he kissed her now conveyed a different kind of passion that she knew the meaning of."I'm not saying anything," he playfully replied, attempting to claim her lips again, but she evaded him."It's just that someone might see us," she explained.Erik sighed again. "They would knock before entering,

Mia's senses awakened as she freely admired the nakedness of the man she was about to marry, slowly removing every article of clothing from his body. Erik's actions were incredibly pleasurable to behold, and in those moments, Mia felt abundantly blessed. Despite the countless women who had crossed this man's path, he had chosen her as his bride.Mia's heart fluttered at the thought. When she saw Erik move closer to kiss her, she welcomed it with unrestrained love and passion. She responded to Erik's kisses as if she were thirstier for him than ever before, losing herself completely in the process.Erik's gentle caress on her chest stirred something deep within Mia, evoking a soft moan from the depths of her throat. Their lips remained intertwined, while Erik's hand, nestled between her thighs, began to provide her with indescribable pleasure.Mia moaned once more when Erik's fingers skillfully explored her intimate flower, which was now drenched with desire. "You're soaked, Mia," that

"Sometimes, I imagine that if Nana Rosita hadn't died, or if I had a sibling, maybe what happened to me wouldn't have occurred. I'm certain someone would have stood up for me," Mia shared as she finished recounting her story. The weight of her words quickly took effect, stirring a warmth in the corners of her eyes. Yet, despite her longing to let the tears flow and release her emotions, she managed to restrain herself. "What do you mean?" Nathaniel inquired, his gaze fixed upon her. She turned to face him, offering a bittersweet smile. "I'm just an adopted child, Nate." Gradually, she decided it was time to disclose the truth to him as well. After all, she had already confided in him the real reason for her presence there. "I was merely found, that's the truth," she began narrating her life story to Nathaniel. She recalled her first memories of being adopted and the journey that led her to Rosita, who had become a maternal figure in her life. "Are you all right, big brother?" sh
