“I don’t care, Eloisa! Let’s leave Lucy because we did so much for her. I don’t want to feel guilty anymore.” He tried to make her understand but Eloisa was a stubborn girl. She won’t listen to him.
She can’t have a child. What will she do? She had no choice. They will be leaving in three days to go back to the Philippines. She will do everything to make him agree to her plan.

Kent woke up by a sudden call. He searches his phone on the lampshade table to answer it. He’s still half asleep.
He carelessly put his mobile phone in his ear.
” Hello “, he said and waited for the response.
He threw the phone on th floor when he heard his father’s voice yelling at him. It’s too early for that and why his dad shouted at him when he called yesterday everything was fine and in place in their company.
” Are you listening Kent? Eloisa’s father called and told me to take out his shares! Did you two fought? Fix it or else both of us will hungry!” After that short conversation, his father cut off the line.
Kent took a sigh. He stood up to have some fresh air. Now, he’s in the middle of a choice and consequences. Thinking about betraying Lucy again will double his sin in heaven. He can’t hurt her again. He doesn’t know that his wife set an evil smirk while laying next to him.

“Good morning, honey!” Eloisa kisses Kent on his lips. He didn’t kiss back. He’s still angry at her.
His wife ignored his coldness and sat in her seat. She decided not to make a fight today since they will be packing their things tomorrow and she feel excited about it. She took one spoon of fried rice and put it inside her mouth.
“Hmmm, I love this one. Did you cook this? Today was nanny Linda’s off!” She asked him and he only nods his head.
They became quiet for a moment when Kent started the conversation. He put the spoon and fork he was holding and look directly at Eloisa’s eyes.
“I accept it. Let’s make Lucy bear our baby.” He told his wife and her face suddenly brightened like a shining star in the sky.
No words can explain how happy she was to hear it.

“Honey?” I said to my husband and he’s serious about it.
He had no idea that I was the one who called his dad yesterday. I warned him if his son won’t cooperate. At last, my plan works.
“Yes, but how can I approach her? We didn’t know where she lives and works. It’s almost ten years since we last saw her.” He said but before he can ask me about it, I already settled it last night. I called the person who had debt from me and he found her.
I smiled at him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything,” I told him.
After our breakfast, he told me that he was going out to play golf.
“Take care, honey. See you later!” I bid him goodbye and went back inside.
I quickly took my phone and called Gregory if he found Lucy.
“Did you find her? Did you search for Lucy Mason?” I asked him and he told me the good news.
“Yes, she’s living in an old house and she’s unemployed. May I know if you know her? Do you—” Gregory stop when I interrupted him.
“It’s none of your business. Follow her and make her apply to the company as Kent’s secretary. Okay!” I said to make sure that our plan will work.
“Sure, no problem. Just leave everything to me!” He quickly answered back and turned off his phone.

“Another bill again. Urghhh. I think I’m going crazy!” Lucy was sitting on her bed while pulling her hair.
She just woke up inside this dusty old house. She didn’t finish her college degree because of financial problems. Her father met with Kent’s dad and ran away from the money he took from him. He even used her to get it and that what made her go mad.
“What will I do? I hope a miracle came.” She prayed while walking out to dispose of her garbage.
She’s humming when she saw a flyer outside her door.
“They’re looking for a personal secretary with college-level only? Wine Ace Corp, I didn’t hear about this company yet.” She took it off and brought it inside her place.
Gregory saw it and he quickly called Eloisa.
“She saw it. I know my plan will work!” He told her after looking back at her house.
“Poor Lucy. If I can help you but I can’t.” He mumbled and hop inside his car and drive home.
