RODNEY'S POV: I hired someone to background check Daniel again and to dig more about his past because I want to know who his true family are. I was driving when suddenly my phone rang, it was my sister Abbigael. "Yes?""Rodney, where are you?" "In New York, why?" "Have you visited our mother's grave?" "No, why?" "There's something you need to know," "What is it? tell me," "I visited mother's grave and there's a letter on her tomb so I took it and it addresses to you," "Me? A letter? Can you read it for me?" "Are you sure you want me to open it?" "Yeah, it doesn't matter, we're siblings," "Okay, maybe I'll just emailed it to you later when I get home," "Why? Where the hell are you?" "I'm at the Garcellano's," "What are you doing there?" "Uhm, can you please promise me not to tell Dad?" "Why? About what?" "I'm with Brent," "Brent? Wait. Brent Garcellano?" "Yeah," "Don't tell me you and Brent are dating,""Y-yes we are, please don't tell dad, we're not ready to conf

SUSHMITA'S POV: "What do you mean he got shot, Daniel?!""Don't worry, it's not that bad and he's stable now. He just ask me to call you to inform you that he's fine," "Is he awake? I want to talk to him," "He's sleeping, maybe later," "Okay," "I sent some pictures to you just take a look at it on your messenger," "Okay. Daniel, please, don't leave him, just stay by his side," "Yeah, I know what you're thinking, I'll just let him rest and then we will go back there immediately," "Okay, just be careful, alright?""Yes, don't worry now," "Okay, bye," I turned off the call. "Miss Sushmita, Miss Abbigael wants to see you," Caroline said as she walked towards me."Abbigael? Abbigael Xiu?" my eyes narrowed as the name registered in my mind. My sister-in-law is here."Yes Miss," Caroline confirmed. "Okay, tell them that I will go downstairs," I commanded Caroline."Alright, Miss," Caroline said and immediately went downstairs to deliver my message. I combed my hair and put a lit

SUSHMITA'S POV: I packed my things as Caroline helped me with my luggage. "I'm going home, Caroline, thank you for still attending to my needs," I said as I faced her. "You're always welcome, Miss Sushmita, take care and don't worry about your family here," she said."I will," I said and went directly downstairs. The maids placed my luggage in the living room so that Daniel and Rodney could easily pick it up once they got here. I was sitting patiently on the sofa when I saw Marco and Deborah talking at the Veranda. Looks like they are calm now, unlike earlier. They were both angry with each other talking about Marco's rights as Ranz's father. I hope they can fix their relationship for Ranz. My nephew is such a sweet young boy to have too much drama on his plate. "Sushmita! Your husband is here!" Brent yelled outside so I stood up immediately and ran to see them. "Honey, be careful!" Rodney yelled while I was running but I know my body and I never felt strong like this before. I

SUSHMITA'S POV: I woke up without Rodney by my side the next morning and saw Daniel patiently sitting on the sofa while facing the terrace of our Hotel Suite. "Daniel? What are you doing here? Where's- where's Rodney?" I asked because he's just looking at the view. "I don't know, he called me to look after you and left early," he said. I was finding my slippers when I saw rose petals on the side table and a piece of paper so I grabbed it and opened the folded paper. Mita, Darling, Something came up and I really need to go right now. I know this will disappoint you again but I promise that I will make it up to you , so enjoy the rest of the day inside our Suite and join me for dinner later tonight. Daniel knows what to do, I already gave him the details. Happy Birthday and take care of our baby. I love you both. RodneyI took a deep breath and shook my head. Something came up again, what is it this time? I lay down on the bed again to get more sleep but somehow, I can't s

SUSHMITA'S POV: I woke up and it's all white. Where am I? Is this heaven I'm seeing? no. I can't die. At Least, not now. "Miss, can you hear me?" said the manly worried voice that I heard. "This is Daniel, Miss, can you move your body?" Daniel asked again but I have something on my neck so I can't turn my face to see him. "Daniel…" I said softly because my throat is so dry. "I-is Rod-ney h-here?" I said as I tried to speak."No Miss, he flew back to the Philippines immediately when we received a call from Ms. Abbigael that Don Hernan is dead," Daniel explained and I was saddened by the bad news that he brought. I can't see him but I know that he was grieving and silently crying. I tried to move my hands and placed it on my belly. "H-how's my b-baby, Daniel?.." I asked and he burst into tears upon hearing what I just asked. "It's gone, Miss, the baby didn't make it," he said as he was crying beside me. My tears fell in an instant when I heard that. "What?! no. This isn't happ
