The night air wrapped around Perry and Alonso like a comforting embrace as they sat in a contemplative silence, their thoughts swirling like the stars above them. The weight of their conversation hung between them, a delicate balance of vulnerability and uncertainty.

Alonso’s voice broke the silence, his words measured yet filled with determination. “Perry, I want you to know that my desire to have a family with you isn’t rooted in the need for biological children. 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.”

    The blaring and deep honking of vehicles from the bustling road were enough to awaken the dead and rouse even the deepest of slumbers. However, this was not the case for Alonso. He was in a profound slumber, a result of his three jobs that he had been working tirelessly for some time now. He had not slept a full hour, as he was determined to save enough money to make his girlfriend Lyra's birthday an unforgettable one. Their date was in a few hours, and he couldn't afford to miss it. "Hey, you! Get away from there!" a feminine voice exclaimed as she repeatedly hit Alonso with the bag she held. It took several blows before he finally awoke from his nap in front of the lady's store, or rather, more of a prolonged rest. Like a thief, Alonso sprinted away as he had some deliveries to make and knew he was going to be in trouble. "Come here, you idiot! Where have you been?" an angry masculine voice bellowed, grabbing Alonso and pulling him out of the store. "The customers who had deliv

In a frenzy, he darted towards her, his heart racing with excitement and anticipation "Why did it take you so long?" he lamented as he followed her up the stairs, but his words caught in his throat as he witnessed a horrifying sight. His girlfriend's pants were pulled down, and a man she had repeatedly claimed was just a friend was pounding her from behind, while she writhed in ecstasy. He arrived just as the man was climaxing inside her. He whispered Lyra's name in shock and disbelief, unable to muster the strength to speak any louder. Hot, salty tears welled up in his eyes, and he struggled to contain his emotions. A sharp pain pierced his chest, leaving him frozen for a few moments. "I told you she was having fun," Lucinda sneered mockingly, watching the scene with excitement. Alonso couldn't bear to watch any longer, and he rushed down the stairs to catch his

Pay up or you rot in jail. You only have forty-eight hours to get the money or else…” he said and left immediately slamming the door hardAlonso felt too weak to take his head back up, but just laid down and cried himself to sleep, he had no one to call and he sure knew no one was coming, he might as well just start getting used to his new home, he thought and gasped for air.After a few hours, he was pulled out and then taken to a different room, where he was locked up with other criminals.“What did you do wrong,” one of th

It had always been locked and Alonso believed that when he eventually opens it, it will lead him home.“keep this, I found it on you when I saved you that day, it may lead you home” the voice of the man that saved Alonso came to his mind. This was the last thing the man gave to him before kicking the bucket.With nothing else left to take he placed the locket close to his heart and over his neck and turned to leave a new life.Where do I sleep? Was the thought that occupied Alonso's mind. The loss of the things he cherished had made him totally forget he had so much money in his account, and maybe about his date the next day.He wandered in deep unending thought until he got to a bar, where he decided to waste the rest of his evening

She found the closest sit and sat as she sobbed quietly.Witnessing the whole event, Alonso felt some kind of pity for Perry and wanted to console her.“I know I am not a part of your family yet, but would you mind to tell me what’s actually going on? Why would you want to marry someone like me?” Alonso asked Perry in a comforting tone as placed his left hand on her shoulder“you wouldn’t understand” Perry said after a short while“I know but you can still try to explain. I mean your brother already hates me so you can as well just tell me what I am getting into” Alonso requested“Castillo Empire was built by two best frie
