Sharmaine cleared her throat and excused herself as she headed toward the bathroom. Chris followed her, but they didn't know that Alexander also followed them."Fuck! is this fucking serious?! why is that poor ex of yours here?" Chris yelled asking Sharmaine.Sharmaine groaned and shrugged her shoulder."Chris, I don't know, okay? why are you even yelling at me? I don't even know that he was rich! Gosh. It's not my fault." she groaned.Both of them looked like they were going to explode seeing Alexander. "Where are you going?" Shane blocks Alexander from following them.Shane just doesn't want him to create any chaos for his own party. Alexander just looked into her eyes and groaned."Don't dare make any chaos here, Alex. This is your party and if you're going to ruin it, your image would be ruined as well." she warned him.Alexander just closed his eyes and scoffed."This is not the right time for you to do your revenge, Alex. Do it in the right way." she whispered to him.Alexander
Alexander sensed something wrong with Shane. Sharmaine was walking behind Shane and he already knew what happened. Alexander glared and rolled his eyes at Sharmaine and followed Shane."Did you argue with her?" he asked Shane.Shane just chuckled a bit and scoffed."Relax, Alex, I didn't. I just had a little conversation with her. Don't worry, I never said anything to her." Shane smirked and gave him a drink.Alexander felt calm but he knew Shane must have told Sharmaine which made her look that way when he saw her. Alex doesn't know but his eyes were still looking for Sharmaine, he felt like he still loves her even though she betrayed and cheated on him."Are you still looking for her? I think I've seen him being dragged away by Chris." Shane whispered at him.Alexander smelled alcohol from her."Shane, quit drinking, you're getting drunk. You were the one who told me not to drink too much because we're going to do many things tomorrow," he told her.But she just laughed."Nah, come
"Chris..." Sharmaine arrived worriedly.Looked like she was looking for Chris but she was also shocked to see Alexander with him. Sharmaine looked away and went beside Chris."What's wrong?" she asked him.Chris slowly took her arm from his arm and glared at her."What's wrong? your ex-boyfriend was wrong. I know you want to go back to him now that you knew he was rich, am I right?" Chris asked her.Sharmaine was very surprised and gasped at what Chris said. She even slapped him out of surprise."How dare you look at me that way!" she yelled at him.Chris just smirked and scoffed."Come on, you were the one who told me that you just left him, because he's poor and couldn't afford your needs and wants. So, now that he's rich, do you want to go back to him?" Chris asked her again.Alexander couldn't watch it. He just cleared his throat and scoffed. Sharmaine didn't say anything but looked at her boyfriend with a shivering body."Please don't scandal here inside my mansion. Do it outside
Alexander just sighed as they left while Maria closed her eyes and faced him with disappointment written on her face."I know I am not at the right place to tell you this but, it's a good thing you didn't chase that woman." Maria said and left without letting him say anything.Alexander went puzzled but he already knew what she meant by that. He went back to the party and he was more stunned to see Shania dancing with strangers. She was very drunk and tipsy."Damn it, women." he groaned.He decided to go over her while dancing with someone but he politely cuts their dance off. Shane was very shocked to see him."Hey, Alexander! come on, let us dance. This is going to be our second dance together." Shane blurted and grabbed his arms and wrapped them around her waist.Alexander wasn't just shocked by what she did to his hands, but he was more shocked and puzzled by what she said about their second dance."Second dance?" he asked her.Because he couldn't remember anything about dancing w
Shane groaned as she woke up. She doesn't know what she did last night because she was so drunk. As she opened her eyes, she was curious that she wasn't inside her bedroom."Where am I?" she groaned.Her head was spinning and she couldn't stand up properly, because she could feel her head spinning like she was going to faint as well."You're here in the mansion. You were so wasted last night." Alexander said.Shane groaned and was shocked that Alexander was all along sitting there while watching her. Shane hurriedly looked at herself, and she sighs in relief thinking that she was naked."Alex! You scared the hell out of me." she groaned and rolled her eyes at him.He just laughed and shrugged his shoulder. He stood up and handed her a hot tea to drink. "Drink that up. It can help you ease the pain in your head." he said.Shane looked at the tea and thought it was herbal but when she drinks it, she loved it and drank it all. "You don't know everything you have done last night, right?
A week later, Alexander already knew some of the things Shane wanted him to know about everything that he was going to own and take care of. Now, he was very ready to start being the CEO of the Ferrer Empire. "Hmm, looks like you changed too much. You look more powerful." Natasha smirked while clapping her hands. Alexander just thanked her and hurriedly looked away. Natasha's style was really upsetting him and not just him, but Maria and Shane as well. How many times they have scolded her, but she was always like that. Maybe she's not really going to change her style because she used to be a club worker before. "Uhm, Natasha, are you really deaf or what? why don't you pull down your skirt? It was making everything messy." Shane already asked her. Natasha just groaned and scoffed. She doesn't even care if she was talking to her boss. Shane just groaned and shook her head. She never thought she was going to handle a maid like Natasha. "I am sorry about her, Shania, and Alexander. Sh
Shania just told him a bit of a lie just for him to come with her, but the truth was, she was just afraid to lose him again after losing him again for how many years. Alexander didn't go missing because of his family' rivals, but because Shania as she blamed herself. Their family was having a meeting when she decided to drag Alexander with her outside the dark and play hide and seek with her. While she was hiding and waiting for him to find him, she went missing already. It hurt her so much that she doesn't even want to talk to anyone."I am so sorry, Alex." she whispered.Shania decided to sleep at Ferrer's mansion for a while and while staring at the big tree she used to play with Alexander before, she couldn't stop feeling sad but same time happy. She wouldn't think that she was going to find him when she was close to giving up."I thought you went home." Alexander's voice was behind her.Shane hurriedly hid their children's photo and wiped her tears, and cleared her throat before
While Alexander was picking his clothes to wear to his office. The door opened and Shania showed up with a very happy face."What the heck? Why don't you even knock?" he asked her.He just hated her every time she just opened the door without even knocking. Shane just chuckled and shrugged her shoulder."Well, sorry, anyway, you're going to wear this. I know you were having a hard time picking up your clothes." she said and picked the pair he was staring at a while ago.He just nodded and waited for her to leave, but before she step away from his room, she faced him again and smiled."I forgot to tell you, I will be gone for a few days. I have a business trip abroad. Don't worry. I know you already know what to do, am I right?" she asked him.Alexander suddenly felt hurt when she told him that she was going on a business trip. He wasn't just used to being far from her. Shane just chuckled when she saw his reaction."Don't cry. I am not going to be gone forever, just kidding. I am goin
Goodbyes are really hard to take on. Shanty and Halton stick to their words to be with each other no matter what happens, even though they are far from each other they made a promise that they will stay loyal and faithful to each other while Alex and Shane agreed to wait for each other that fate might decide for both of them. "I am going to miss you, asshole." Shanty scoffed and pats Halton's shoulder. Halton just chuckled and nodded. "I am going to miss you, too. Call me." Halton said. Shanty nodded and grabbed her things. "So, see you again?" Alexander asked Shane. Shane just smiled at him and nodded. Ron is behind her waiting for her with Shanty. He couldn't help but smile wide for both of them, because he could see that they are really going to end up together. "I guess so. Always take care, Alex." Shane smiled. Alex nodded at her. Alex and Halton are both sad seeing their loved ones leave. As much as they want to chase and stop them, they couldn't. It's hard for both of th
Ron couldn't help but watch them from where he is right now. He couldn't stop smiling and seeing them talking together because he knows that they both really need to talk. Besides, he doesn't want Shane to leave without telling Alex about her feelings."Halton? What are you doing here?" Shanty asked.She just came out of the bathroom and was shocked to see Halton outside. Halton's face lifted up and brightened up when he saw her. Shanty was just surprised when he hugged her."Halton? Are you okay? are you sick?" she asked.But deep inside she was very happy and she just hugged him back."Hey? What is wrong with you?" she asked him.Halton just doesn't know what to say. He couldn't express his feelings right now. He just wanted to tell her how he feels right now, but he couldn't."Shanty, are you really going to leave?" he asked.Shanty just took a deep breath and sighed. She already knows where their conversation is going right now."Yes, Halton. I already told you. My life is there.
Shane doesn't know what to say. Alexander in front of her makes her feel terrible and sad. Ron is also sad waiting for her to say anything."Alex, I am sorry, but what are you doing here? We are on our way to the airport," she asked.Alexander just closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Seeing her with her things, he doesn't know what to say. Halton is as well waiting for Shanty from the bathroom because Shane told him that she went to pee."Can we talk?" Alex asked her.Shane just took a deep breath and sighed. She looked at Ron. Ron smiled at her and nodded."I really think you need to talk to her, Shane. Go on. I will leave you both for a while." Ron smiled at her.Shane just nodded and thanked her. Shane doesn't want to see Alex, because she doesn't want to have a reason to stay but looks like Alex really chased her."Shane, do you really need to leave?" Alex asked her.Shane doesn't know why he keeps on asking that to her but it made her feel weak. She can feel that he is going to be
One day before they leave, the peer is all at Shane's place to have a last-together party. Everyone is present even Ron. Ron and Alex are already friends. "I am surely going to miss you, Shane and Shanty." Natasha hugged them together. Shane and Shanty just both giggled. "We are just so sorry that we are not going to be on your wedding day. Rest assured that I will send some presents for you and Leo." Shane giggled. Natasha just pouted. "I know, but being you there is more valuable for me. Leo and I talked last night about this, and I broke down. I just can't stop seeing my friends leaving and not presents on our wedding day, my most special day." she said. Shane just took a deep breath while Shanty scoffed. "Come on, girl. Wake up. Whether we are there or not, always remember that it is you who is very important during that day." Shanty said. Natasha just pouted and took a deep breath. "I know you are just saying this to make me feel okay." she groaned. They just laughed. "
"Thank you, Alex for dropping me off. I hope Shanty and Halton area safe." Shane said as she takes her seatbelt off. Alex just smiled at her and didn't say anything but his hand stopped her from opening the door. Shane looked at him curiously. She could read into his eyes that he wanted to say something badly. "Alex?" she called his name. Alex just sighed and shakes his head as he removes his hold from her hand. Shane just looked at him. "Do you want to talk for a bit? Go on." she said. She cleared her throat and stopped opening the door. Ale just waited for a time to inhale what e wants to tell him right now. He doesn't even know why he acted cowardly. "I just want to tell you that take care and always don't stop taking care of yourself. You look happy without me." he smiled but with pain. Shane doesn't even know why he has to say that which made her chuckle a bit. He still care for her too much, but she didn't also stop worrying and caring about him. "Thank you. You also look
Alexander just took a deep breath and couldn't help himself but stare at Shane. He doesn't know but seeing her again made him feel alive and relieved. After how many days, he had seen her again and he could see that she is very happy. "I can see you are looking at her. You miss her, don't you?" Halton nudged at him. Alex just groaned and looked at him. "Will you shut up? I am just watching her over here. She seems very happy." he couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to be with her, but he respected her decision. "Why don't you go and talk to her?" Leo asked him. Alexander couldn't help but chuckle/ "Nah, I don't want to disturb her time with the other women. Let her enjoy for the meantime," he said. Leo just nodded and respected his decision even though they all want them both to talk and have some closure. After a few hours, they are already tipsy. Alexander couldn't help but watch Shane because she is already drunk even Shanty and Natasha and even Meredith. "Guess like I need t
Leo felt like the happiest man alive, while Natasha felt like the luckiest woman alive. After the dinner, they have decided that Natasha will go back to their home, and Leo s free to go here whenever he wants to. Besides, they are already engaged and they are going to prepare for their wedding as well."Congratulations!" everyone applauded.After how many days, the peer decided to throw a party for the engaged couple, Natasha and Leo. They'd done it at Lincoln's mansion."Thank you, guys. Thank you as well for coming. You are already part of my life." Natasha emotionally said.Halton just scoffed and took a deep breath."No worries, but looks like Leo is not going to come with us drinking already." Halton teased him.Natasha just chuckled and glared at Leo. Everyone is there but Alex is not yet there."By the way, how long Alex will arrive? What is taking him so long?" Halton asked Leo.Leo shrugged his shoulder. Because as he called him a while back, he was finishing his report, a ve
Natasha is very mad. She wanted to yell and scream but she has dignity and she is shy as well. Her dad and Meredith looked worriedly at her which made her scoff."Leo, you know what let us go. I don't want to eat dinner with them." she said.But before she left, Leo grabbed her arm. Natasha just closed her eyes and looked at him."Why? Why do you have to do this?" she asked.Leo just took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He doesn't know what to do right now, but he just needs to stop her from leaving."Please just hear them, love." he said.He even almost begs. Natasha just groaned."Can we talk outside for a minute?" she asked.Leo nodded and they went outside. Abraham and Meredith exchanged glances and took a deep breath. "Looks like she is still mad at us." Meredith said.Abraham just took a deep breath and sighed."Let us just wait for them to come back, honey." he mumbledMeredith just smiled and nodded at him. While they are waiting, Leo and Natasha are arguing on the balcony
Leo arrived at Shane's mansion, he is going to ask her for his plan later on."Leo, you're here. Natasha isn't home yet. She went to the market." Maria said.Leo just nodded and took a deep breath. Seems like he should have called her."Okay, Aunty. I will wait for her." he said.Maria couldn't help but chuckle. She stopped what she was doing and decided to make him some juice she also wanted to talk to him about his future with Natasha."Here you go. So, there is something I want to know, Leo." Maria said.Leo thanked her and sips his juice. "What is it?" he asked her.Maria just took a deep breath."I can see that both of you love each other. When are you planning to get married?" she asked.Leo almost got choked with her question, he was just surprised with it. Maria just laughed and gave him a tissue napkin to wipe the juice off his arm."I am sorry. I must have shocked you." she chuckled.Leo just took a deep breath and sighed. "No, it's okay. I wasn't just expecting that from
