ALL I LOST : THE FIRST HEIR Chapter 105
One day, while Perry sat in her tranquil garden, a notification chimed on her phone, indicating the arrival of a new email. Curiosity and trepidation warred within her as she opened the message, revealing it to be from Betty.Her heart skipped a beat, unsure of what to expect. As she delved into the contents, Perry found herself reading a heartfelt apology from Betty, who acknowledged the pain she had caused and expressed genuine remorse for her actions and the betrayal Perry had endured.Emotions swirled within Perry as she absorbed the words on the screen. It was a step, a small glimmer of hope that perhaps Betty was sincere in her desire to reconcile. Perry understood that an apology couldn't erase the past, but it could serve as a starting point for healing.Without hesitation, Perry forwarded the email to Alonso, seeking his opinion on the matter. However, Alonso was not at home to discuss it in person, so they continued their conversation via text.Alonso expressed skepticism ab

As Perry entered the house, her frustration was palpable. Alonso was already there, and the moment he caught a glimpse of her expression, he knew that the meeting with Betty hadn't gone as planned. He could sense the storm of emotions brewing within her. Silently, he set aside whatever he was doing and approached her, ready to lend a listening ear.Perry paced back and forth, her words tumbling out in a mix of anger and disappointment. Alonso watched her attentively, understanding the weight of her feelings. He knew better than to interrupt her while she was trying to express herself."It's like she didn't even listen to me," Perry vented, her hands gesturing animatedly. "I tried to be calm and reasonable, but she just wouldn't let go of her own agenda. It's as if nothing has changed between us!"Alonso nodded, acknowledging her frustrations. "I can imagine how difficult that must have been for you. It seems like she's still holding on to old beliefs and not willing to see things from

As Betty returned home, she found Philip waiting in the living room, his arms crossed and a stern expression on his face. He had been aware of his mother's meeting with Perry, and he was not pleased."So, how did it go?" Philip asked, his voice tinged with disapproval.Betty took a deep breath, bracing herself for her son's reaction. "It didn't go as I expected. Perry was... cold, distant. She didn't seem willing to let go of her anger towards me, and she insisted on putting a hold on any discussions about the Chairman position until after her father's burial."Philip scoffed. "Why did you even apologize, Mother? This is a sign of weakness! Perry and Alonso will see it as an opportunity to mock us, to think they have the upper hand."Betty sighed, feeling torn between her desire to mend the broken relationship with Perry and her son's concerns. "I understand your point, Philip, but I felt it was necessary. I hurt Perry deeply, and I need to take responsibility for my actions. Besides,

Perry and Betty finally agreed to come together for a meeting to finalize the details of the burial. Despite their lingering resentment and clashing visions, they understood the need to find common ground for the sake of honouring their loved one's memory.Perry and Betty sat across from each other in a small, dimly lit café, their faces etched with a mix of grief and determination. The time had come for them to finalize the details of the burial, a task they had been avoiding for weeks with their constant arguments and disagreements. As the waitress brought their cups of coffee, the air seemed heavy with unspoken tension.Betty spoke first, her voice filled with a mix of sorrow and determination.Betty took a deep breath and looked at Perry. "Thank you for meeting me, Perry. I know this is difficult for both of us, but we need to make decisions together for the sake of your father, my beloved husband."Perry scoffed and nodded, her eyes flickering with a hint of resentment. "Let's ju

Days passed, and the tension between Perry and Betty remained unresolved although they had come to a compromise for the burial. Despite their differences and the palpable animosity that had poisoned their relationship, the burial day arrived. Perry's desire for a simple and quiet ceremony was first, and she had made the necessary arrangements accordingly.On a sunny morning, friends and family gathered at a serene cemetery nestled in the countryside. The atmosphere was solemn, as mourners paid their respects to Perry's father. The air was filled with heartfelt prayers and gentle sobs, echoing the grief that had enveloped everyone's hearts.Perry stood near the open grave, her eyes red from tears that had already been shed. She clutched a small bouquet of white lilies, her father's favorite flowers. As the priest recited final prayers, Perry stepped forward, her voice quivering yet filled with love."Thank you, Father," she said, her words carrying a mix of sorrow and gratitude. "Thank

The sun was gradually setting, casting a golden glow over the gathering, as the event drew to an end. Betty, the widow of the late Chairman, stood tall and composed, dressed in an elegant black gown that spoke of both grief and wealth. In her hand, she held an expensive souvenir with a picture of her late husband boldly emblazoned on it. She made sure the media captured the moment as she posed for photographs, accepting condolences from well-wishers.Perry sat in silence, still wrapped in her husband Alonso's arms. She watched Betty's display with a mix of anger and disbelief. It had been a lavish affair, and while she understood the family's wealth, it seemed excessive and showy to her, considering the occasion. She couldn't help but feel like Betty was using the funeral as an opportunity to flaunt her prosperity."Why does she have to make such a spectacle of it?" Perry whispered to Alonso, her voice filled with frustration.Alonso tightened his grip around her, offering comfort in

Over a week had passed since the burial, yet the event continued to dominate conversations. The controversy surrounding Betty's behaviour had not subsided, but instead, it seemed to fuel her pride. She revelled in the attention, relishing in the fact that her actions were the topic of discussion among friends, family, and the public.One evening, at a social gathering held in honour of Mr Montillo by one of his business partners and closest friend, Betty couldn't resist showing off her perceived triumph to Perry.Betty sauntered over to where Perry and Alonso stood, a smug smile playing on her lips. She made sure to make her approach noticeable, her steps deliberate and confident."Well, well, if it isn't Perry and her handbag Alonso," Betty said, her tone dripping with condescension. "Quite the event we had, don't you think? I mean your father's burial"Perry forced a polite smile, though her patience was wearing thin. "It was certainly an eventful day, Betty. But I believe the focus

Alonso had finally been announced as the chairman of the company, and ever since Betty had been boiling with anger, frustration, and jealousy. She hadn't wasted any time blaming it on Philip, her son, as she unleashed a torrent of insults and derogatory remarks."You are nothing but an incompetent fool, Philip!" Betty spat, her voice dripping with venom. "How could you let this happen? You're a disgrace!"Philip tried his best to maintain his composure despite his mother's verbal assault. He took a deep breath before responding, "Mom, it's not entirely my fault. You need to understand that."Betty scoffed, her face contorted with rage. "Oh, please! Spare me your excuses. You've always been weak, incapable of seizing opportunities. Now Alonso is the chairman, and it's all because of your incompetence!"Philip felt his anger rising but knew he had to remain calm. He decided to confront his mother head-on. "You know what, Mom? It's actually your fault." He reminded her that it was her ow

The storm of doubt had passed, but new challenges emerged, demanding their attention and resilience.One afternoon, as they sat in the study, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the desk lamp, Alonso broached a subject that had been lingering in the back of his mind. “Perry, I’ve been thinking about our future, about the family we want to build.”Perry’s fingers stilled on the pages of the book she was reading, her gaze shifting to meet Alonso’s with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. “Alonso, what are you thinking?”Alonso leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers with intensity. “Perry, I still believe that we can overcome any obstacle together. I want us to consider the possibility of adoption.”Perry’s brows furrowed, a complex mix of emotions crossing her features. “Alonso, adoption is a beautiful option, but it’s also a decision that requires careful c

It’s about creating a home filled with love, regardless of where that love comes from.”Perry’s eyes met his, a mixture of surprise and curiosity in her gaze. “Alonso, what are you saying?”Alonso’s fingers traced patterns on the armrest of his chair, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Perry, there are many ways to build a family—adoption, fostering, even just being there for children who need guidance and support. It’s about the love we give and the environment we create.”Perry’s voice held a note of wonder, her heart beginn
