Echo decided to bring Maria to their Ancestral home. Though his parents knew her already, he will introduce Maria to his grandfather, Mr. Julio Del Fuego. The old Mr. Del Fuego is a very strict man. He was once the well-known governor in the city of Batangas. He was the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Del Fuego. His only son is Echo's father. Echo is his only grandson, the only one who carries and will spread the name Del Fuego. He wished to have so many great-grandchildren from Echo to cut the fate of having only an heir in their family. He always wanted to have so many children to play with and Echo is the only remaining man in his clan."Wait, I am a bit nervous," Maria almost pulls Echo's arm when they are about to knock on the front door of the Del Fuego's ancestral house."Hey! You don't need to get worried. My Grandpop is great. He might look like a strict one, but he is very kind. I'm spoiled actually," Echo laughs while talking to her. He wanted Maria to be relaxed when he

When Maria woke up from the hospital bed, she told Echo's parents that she wanted to be at her parents' burial at Arlington Place. She wanted to be with them until the last minute of the wake. She can't help but burst out crying every time she recalled what her parents' corpses looked like. Her heart was deeply broken. Her parents were so good to her and protected her since she was a child.It's quite hard for her to accept the fact that her parents left her this early. She hadn't been given a chance to ask their forgiveness yet. She has so many plans for them. She wanted to give them children to play along with since she was their only child, she planned to make at least three children roam and play along with her parents.But... those plans vanished at this early stage already."Shhh! God has plans, Maria," Mrs. Del Fuego hugged and caressed Maria's back. Even if she had known this petite lady for just a short time, she felt that she was her daughter already. She almost felt the pai

He will let Maria stay in the hospital for a week to monitor her and their child's condition accordingly.Echo can't help but cry while he is preparing their things in their bedroom. He wasn't expecting that he will be a father already.He wiped off his tears and smiled. " I promise to be s good husband to you Maria and a good father to our child," he murmured.Echo was too excited to go back to the hospital when his mobile phone rang."Yes, hello," he answered his mobile phone while starting his car engine."Hello dear. Why is it you haven't visited me for quite some time," a sweet voice came to his ear."Hey, who the hell is this?" Echo was so pissed hearing the clingy voice of a woman. He can't remember having a serious relationship with any of his women aside from Maria. Maria was the only woman he brought i

Maria stayed in the hospital for almost a month to ensure her safety during pregnancy. She also has mental therapy to overcome her depression. Echo is very protective and caring with Maria. Even the elder Del Fuego was so worried about Maria's delicate condition. Jericho is the only heir of Del Fuego and Maria is now carrying the first seed. Del Fuego clan was so excited and at the same protective of her.Maria felt so much love from the Del Fuego family and was so grateful for it. Even though she could recover quickly from the tragic death of her parents, she is now slowly healing as the love of the Del Fuego family has been extended to her. She was so pampered. They showered her too much love and care. Maria felt security under Del Fuego's arms.Maria caressed her belly and told her unborn child," My child even though Grandma and Grandpa couldn't see you when I gave birth to you, they are always with us. They love us so much. I love you, my child. Thank you for coming into my life."
