Coffee is a great way to pacify and to calm down any person that could have been vexed by some issues that have been weighing on them. Both the chairman and the lawyer were enjoying their coffee as they look on at the beautiful landscape of the garden and the plants and flowers that were surrounding it. Although most of the flowers were bought by the chairman's wife, Rafael also knows much of them since he also likes their smell not to mention the therapeutic benefits they give to their owners. "Look over there Imman! That is a lavender plant that my wife loves so much. She kept it where the sun could directly shine on it. What a beauty, right? The aroma is so soothing and it even helps you get a good sleep."     "You are definitely right dad! I like the aroma it brings and not only that, there are other benefits that are truly helpful to us..."     "Of course, mom will not plant anything in the garden which has no value at all. If you w

Ella is the daughter of John Schweitzer, the younger brother of Rudolph, the chairman, and owner of the luxurious supermalls that were located not only in the country but in other parts of the world as well. Since the death of her cousin, she has been seen as the sole heiress of the company. Her parents were killed in an accident a few years back, making her an orphan. Her only relative, the chairman paid for her education and helped her survive her pathetic situation.      She met Imman on her cousin's wedding day and got a crush on him even though he was much older than her. Ella found him very handsome. For her, he is perfect - an older man with a pretty face and a well-sculpted body but when she was caught looking at him by his uncle, he reminded her that he is going to be married to her cousin and should forget him. "Never fall for him, Ella. He only belongs to my daughter until the day she succumbs from her illness." Those were the words of the chai

     Traveling from one place to another is a bit hard for the pregnant Ella who just wanted to stay home and sleep but she had to meet Cassandra even for once before she would go to the birthday of her teenage son which she promised to do so before her pregnancy was discovered. She is now in her fifth month and the bump is showing already, prompting her to wear loose clothes. Before she even go to the restaurant, she first visited her obstetrician to check on her current condition. "All is well with the baby, don't worry" the doctor assured her.     The doctor even revealed the gender of her baby through the ultrasound. "It is a boy, congratulations! His father will be very happy to know about it, I'm sure!"      Ella did not answer but only smiled and thanked the doctor for her help on her ongoing pregnancy. "I'm not going to stay long doc, I have to go somewhere else."     When she arrived at the

Amanda Ruiz woke up early in the morning, looking at the box that she just wrapped last night - a gift for her classmate Elijah, whom she likes so much. "I hope he likes my gift, after all, the money I've spent on this is hard-earned and is very special," she told herself as she keeps it inside a nice paper bag. She did not notice her aunt who came from behind and touched her elbow.     "Good morning Amanda! How are you? Have you slept well, my dear?"     When she heard her aunt's voice, she turned around kissed her on the cheeks and greeted her back. "Good morning aunt! I'm checking on the gift that I will give Elijah. It's a wristwatch, auntie. Do you think he will like this? (showing her aunt a small box containing her gift).     "Of course, Amanda! It's a gift coming from you, I know that he will be glad. By the way, are all your classmates invited including his girlfriend?"     At the me

Cassandra lost her cool. That is clear from everyone who saw the slapping she did to the pregnant woman who did not try to get her revenge. Instead, Ella bowed her head low and covered her face, trying to win the sympathy of the lawyer himself. She had wanted to slap her back but she listened to Imman's father who told her not to avenge the heiress. When she heard Imman's voice talking about their unborn son's protection, she felt happiness from within.      That night, Ella imagined herself being the victor of the scruples that happened. She told herself that she will be the one who will marry Imman and not her rival. "Imman sided with me and my baby...he sure likes me too. Even when I kissed and embraced him, he did not try to stop me...It may take some time for him to admit that he likes me but I must, and I have to persevere for the sake of my baby..."     After enjoying her triumph as she believed it herself, Ella slept with a
