Alessa:

I'm on my flight from Brazil to New York, from the call I got from my mom I need to go back as quickly as I can.My dad suffers his second heart attack and this time its very bad.

"mommy " my 4 year old son takes my attention

PJ or Paul John looks more of me his eyes only takes from his dad.

Alessa"yes darling",

PJ "mom are we staying with grandma and grandpa when we arrive?"

Alessa "yes we will stay there and for sure u will love it there your grandma have a big swimming pool "as I fold him this his eyes are shining with excitement as he Loves swimming a lot.

Once we landed we took our luggage which consist of 1 trolley and a big teddy bear same size as my son.he didn't allow to leave his best buddy in Brazil which I found it cute. He cant sleep without it at night that's why no choice but to bring it along.

As we go out of the air port I saw a group of media people crowding the way to the exit:'Why there to many reporters here who are they waiting' I thought, to avoid them me and my make our way to the right sides making our way free from the crowd but my one and a of a son wave to the reporters that 2 or 3 of them notice PJ.

Hey look what a cute kid.one of them say the other guy took a picture of PJ and this hits me.GOD not allowed to show my son here, but I have to out of the place as more of the reporters have notice us,I call my assistant to fix this stolen shot of PJ coz it's not good if the person I'm hiding from notice my son.

Cris Lee(Aless's assistant) answer the phone

"Alessa have you arrived in New York?".."yes Cris we arrived already and encountered reporter's I don't know why to much media personnel here but someone took PJ picture I need you to fix this as you know we cant show my son here."panicked shown in her voice.

"Did you see which media company the guy who took the picture "..not as he cant do anything but as it was very far from Europe to USA the control of network technology cant do any magic..

" MB7 its written on his jacket" looking at the group of men still crowding at the exit area.

No worries I will work on it PRONTO!"an excited voice of Cris can be heard.

"Counting on you buddy, "Alessa cant be careless she must protect the existence

PJ otherwise she will cause trouble for both of her family and his family...

Inside the taxi she told the driver the address where

At Henson villa Anita Henson,Alessa's mom busy fixing dinner for her daughter and grandsons arrival.

A smile can be seen on Maximo Henson's face its been 5 years since Alessa leave to stay in Europe with her Uncle there.she suffer this past years alone raising her son.The family kept her secret as per her request.

We dont agree at first and wanted to go to the Del mar mansion but my dear daughter refuses begging me not make trouble on both sides.and she's not sure of what will be the result if we destroy Stephen and Yvonne engagement..

The doorbell rang and Anita run to the door not letting the Lucy to open it which the later lough..as the door open.

The hyper boy jump to his grandma"nana I miss you" a loud squeal of the young boy. "I miss you too my love.."Let get inside the proud grandma say...

Alessa's POV:

The high school reunion party is tomorrow night and I'm still not sure to attend when Stephen call me this morning telling he don't have a date on the event and suggested that we go together as dates in which I agree even I have self consciousness being together.

7 pm I was ready to go down making a final look of my reflection on the mirror..a satisfying smile was seen on my face.

My mom really did magic in me..my hair was braided around my head like a godess style with little dangling strands of hair to emphasize my face features I'm wearing a mermaid white strapless gown with a have a very soft texture that fit my body perfectly as I don't like to much of shining on my dress it only have plain style but classic look.

As I walk down the stairs I could here my dad talking to Stephen.."Young man I'm entrusting my daughter to you, she's suppose to have her cousin as a date today but you insist on being together tonight "my dad told him in a cold tone.making me gasped..

"Dad" taking his attention " Mark is also busy tonight so I agreed to Stephen's suggestion "looking at me I saw a glint of shock in Stephen face which disappears in seconds..'does he likes how I look'?.asking myself quietly..

"Dear you look amazing "my dad walk to me to help me get settle in the sofa.I look at Stephen still I can't see trough his eyes what was his thought about me tonight.

"I think we better get going "I told Stephen to get his attention.

"Yeah we better go or we will be late "he said while he composed himself.

"Dad we are going "I told my Dad as I kiss his cheek before going out ,Stephen offered his hand to assist me while giving my dad his goodbyes.."Were going Uncle Max and don't worry I will take good care of Alessa on the party..

"Enjoy yourselves out there and no alcohol Alessa"my dads reminds me which earned a giggle from me..when we reach the driveway I wave a goodbye to my dad before getting inside Stephen's white Maserati after I got settled in he run to the other side of the driver's seat and buckled in.

The event is going to be held at The Ritz Carlton hotel in downtown Manhattan it will take us 20 minutes to reach.

Inside the car I can see Stephen intense look at me"is the anything wrong on my face why you keep looking at me like that. "

"I just can't believe that this is you,Alessa if I have no girlfriend right now I will certainly date you",he told me with a sure ness in his voice

"Sad to say you're already taken and soon to be engage,"answering him with a soft low voice to hide my hurt feelings .,,to late coz he notice it already.

Stephen park the car in front of the hotel but didn't go out and he grabbed my hand when I was about to open the car door.

"Alessa you are special to me I can't cross the boundaries of our friendship, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings

on my relationship with another woman. I love what we have shared and cherish it for the rest of my life you are best friend."Stephen look in to my eyes while saying those words, we look to the

Car door when the hotel staff to offer his help to me to get down..I gave my hand for his assistance as I'm wearing a evening gown I'm not used to being formal with courtesy.

Stephen give the car key to the valet staff the he offer his right arm for me to claim as my escort date of the night.

In the ballroom reception we sign our names and class year and section then we proceed inside.."my cousin and his girlfriend are here" too.i told Stephen as he notice me searching in the people around the venue.

"Hmm.Mark is here so AJ (Anne Janette) is with him for sure look here they come I wonder if they are waiting for us.."he told me a smirk showing me the pair approaching us.this couple are with us since we started school and AJ loves my cousin so much till now they are together in the same university.

"Aleesa!!..you look so gorgeous gosh .."AJ squealing like a teenager while checking on me.

"Hey!. what are you talking about?.." me asking AJ as before I talk to her via phone to show my dress to he the

time my mom finished dressing me up. "Sweet just play with ok You wont regret what me and Max will do .

Aj told me while dragging me away from the two boys..

"Look at those two they just leave us without turning heads as if where not here".. Mark told

Stephen while looking at our backs, but deep inside his preparing for something secret moves for

Alessa's unrequited feeling he must do something to change her fate.

'sorry bro I must test your feelings tonight if this so called relationship between you and Alessa is really on friendship only. 'Mark thought for himself while looking at Stephen face gazing at Alessa.

"Lets follow them dude I don't like the other guys eyes eating them alive. look at those men at the bar ready to take their move. "Stephen drag Mark going to the bar. There are guys talking with AJ and Alessa and i

seems AJ knows this two men."hey Damon,Karl nice to see you guys here. "Mark greeting the

two men which I gave Stephen a shock when he recognize the person sitting near Alessa.

"Mark, Stephen long time no see,"Damon exchanging fist greeting with Mark as it was a friendly signature sign for their group of friends.Mark, Damon and Karl are classmates of different class section as me AJ and Stephen belongs on the same class.

Damon have a crush on me and he ask Mark for his permission to date me and Mark agreed but not to play on me as they treat each others as good brothers. Stephen also knows that Damon is courting me that year but I am focus on my studies and Damon respected me a lot soon after graduation Damon was sent abroad for further studies.

This last summer Damon came back and he started handling their family business, I am also in their company working as Mark recommend it to my dad's for my training .

The night is long and soon everyone is having fun. but here I am just watching my dear friend getting drunk and my cousin is not stopping in pouring wine on his glass.

"Mark stop it we don't have a driver he drove the car on coming here how can we go home, dad will kill me if

I go home drunk you the rules right? me whisper asking Mark and he just wink at me. and mouthed AJ on my

side."Alessa no worries I already booked the presidential suite for the four of us.so chill and

enjoy we know uncle Max won't allow you to drink alcohol coz you tend to forget everything when you get drunk and I don't like to take care of a drunk noisy Alessa ok."

I think this two planned something and I'm still at lost on what ever in their mind but I do both love them and I know they will not do any harm on me specially Mark.

But I was wrong in the end, Damon and Karl was sent by the driver arrange by my cousin as the two are

already drunk to the core. AJ and me went to our room ahead of the guys as they arrange for the hotel service and leave their cars in the hotel. The suite have two rooms it did not pass my mind that this room was booked for person or two couples room. AJ ask me to take the right side room so I did she already arrange for our necessities to sleep here and I'm really

shock on how reliable she in this kind of situation maybe base on her current job as a model she and her agent knows how to organize urgent matters when needed.

She handed me a paper bag."this is for you ,and please use it as you don't have any other choice ok."

"thank you loves and you can take a rest also see you tomorrow and goodnight." AJ just smiled at me and blow me a kiss.
