SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't read She's Mine, Exclusively Mine and My Possessive Ex-lover yet, you should read that first before reading this chapter.

JACE's POV

Hey, bud! Are you still alive? If you are, come here to TBG club. Everyone is waiting for you!

The corner of my lips twitched upon seeing the message of Kyrus. That friend of mine is really crazy sometimes. I haven't seen them for a couple of months and he's thinking that I'm already six feet under the ground.

"Fùcker." I chuckled while shaking my head. I then decided to call my wife first. She's probably still in her office. She's already on her 8th month of pregnancy and just a little bit more and she would give birth.

At first, I wasn't in favor of her working when she's heavily pregnant but she insisted. She promised me that she wouldn't overwork herself though. Well, she only goes to the office at least twice a week so I supported her on her decision instead of fighting over it.

It took three rings before she finally answered.

"Yes, mi amor?" Her voice was sweet and that made me smile.

"I just wanted to say that the guys are inviting me to go to the TBG club. Is it okay with you if I would go?" She laughed.

"Of course, I don't mind. Your friends must be missing you already because you haven't seen them for a couple of months." I knew it.

"Thank you, mi amor. You're the best."

"You're welcome." I was about to answer when she remembered something and continued. "You can go but on one condition. Don't drink and drive." Her voice held warning and that made me chuckle.

"I knew you would say that, mi amor. Don't worry because I wouldn't dare. I've experienced sleeping in the other room for a couple of nights and it was hell not being by your side during the night. I don't want that to happen again."

She laughed heartily. "I'm glad you know what will happen if you dare do the thing that I don't like."

"I love you." I professed full of love and she chuckled.

"I love you too. Drive carefully, okay?"

"Of course, mi amor. You should tell Noel to drive very carefully too." I answered, referring to our driver.

"Don't worry because he's a careful driver. Anyway, looks like someone isn't happy that you're not going to come home early today." My forehead furrowed.

"Huh? Who?"

"Who else do you think it is other than your son?" I chuckled. I could already picture him sulking. "Talk to him." Christine said and then gave the phone to JC. He's in her office again.

"Hello, daddy. I thought you would play basketball with me today? You couldn't play with me yesterday because you came home late." He really sounded sullen. I wanted to face-palm. I forgot about my promise to my son.

"I'm sorry, son. Daddy was so busy at work that I forgot about it. Don't worry because tomorrow is Saturday. We will play basketball as long as we want to, so don't be sad."

"Really, daddy? Promise?"

"Promise." After that, he finally became cheerful. Christine and I talked for another 2 minutes more before we ended the call.

Later on, I exited MCC and drove my way towards the TBG club. It was already past five pm. When I arrived there, I went directly to our private room and when my friends saw me, they greeted me happily.

"Hey, I'm glad you didn't get lost coming here." Kyrus remarked. My eyebrows knitted together.

"And why would I get lost when I know the way here?"

"Because you haven't been here for so long. I just thought that maybe, you forgot how to come here anymore or maybe, you couldn't recognize us anymore." I almost rolled my eyes because of what he said. The others laughed.

"Leave him be, Ky. Maybe, it's really like that when you're a pussy-whipped." It was Oeris.

"Fùck you!" Everyone laughed again.

"Well, don't compare your situation with Jace. He has his own family now while you people are just wandering around, hopping from one pùssy to another." I was surprised when I heard that voice behind me. I turned around to check who it was. I was right. It was Ackier.

The last time I saw him was during the Welcome home party of JC. I thought he already left the USA but I was wrong.

"Who's jumping from one pùssy to another? I'm sure, I'm not one of them." Zandro butted in, feigning innocence.

"Me too. I'm as innocent as a child. I don't even know what pùssy is." Oeris said with an annoying smirk on his face and the other guys pretended to be vomiting because of what he said.

"Hey, don't ever say petty lies like that again. I don't want to vomit in here." Marcus said and I couldn't help but to shake my head. It has been so long since the last time I got to spend time with them like this and it was refreshing.

"Fools." I then sat on the couch. Ackier poured some brandy in a glass then handed the glass to me before sitting on the single sofa on my left side. I accepted and took a sip. The other guys continued what they were doing.

Some of them were playing darts, billiards and bowling while Zardius was busy kicking and punching the sandbag as if he was pouring his anger on that poor sandbag.

"So, how's married life, bud?" Ackier began. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Happy and contended." I answered truthfully.

"I'm glad to hear that. Christine deserves to be happy after all the things that she's been through." He was smiling the whole time while saying that. My forehead crinkled.

"Tell me honestly, Savela. Do you have feelings for my wife?" I have been thinking about that ever since I saw them dancing at the anniversary party of TBG. He suddenly became serious and then stared at me.

"What do you think?" My eyes automatically squinted. I didn't like that look on his face. For some reason, my breathing almost stopped while waiting for his answer.

"Don't you dare say something that I don't like, Savela. You know me." My voice held warning. To my surprise, he suddenly burst into a fit of laughter.

"Hey, don't be too serious, man. Chris is like a little sister to me and I've never thought of her that way. You know that we have a silent rule here in TBG and that's to keep your hands from things that's not yours. If I happened to like Christine that way then I would've quit the TBG because I could never face everyone, especially you, if that's the case. Besides, I have someone now."

For some reason, I felt relieved. He's right. We have a silent rule in TBG and if he happened to break that rule, then he would never dare come here and show his face because he knew the consequences. But then, my eyebrows raised of his last sentence.

"You have someone? You mean, you have a new fùck buddy?" He was about to answer when Kyrus spoke.

"Hey, Acki. Looks like you're in trouble." Ackier's eyebrows creased.

"What the heck are you talking abou—" Whatever Ackier was about to say was cut off when he noticed a woman standing next to Kyrus who was smirking full of amusement. The woman's eyes turned into slits as she gazed at Ackier who suddenly stood up like a cheating student who got caught red handed by his teacher.

"H-Hey, sweetie baby..." Ackier was about to approach the woman but she already turned her back on him and then marched her way out of the door.

"Baby, wait!" But the woman didn't listen. Ackier glared at Kyrus. "Why didn't you tell me right away that she's here?!" He hissed and Kyrus shrugged his shoulders.

"I called your name but you were too busy telling about your new fùck buddy to Jace to notice me." Ackier cursed loudly as he ran his palm over his face in frustration.

"Damn! I've never said that I have a fùck buddy!" He then ran after the woman. "Wait, baby!" Upon exiting the room, Kyrus and I burst into a fit of laughter.

"Damn! That fùcker is now part of the pùssy-whipped club!"

"Yeah, right. Well, it's not bad being one. Why don't you join too?" I asked and he acted like he's barfing like crazy. I rolled my eyes.

"Stop acting as if you're not going to be a pùssy-whipped one day. I bet; you're going to be worse than Ackier."

"No, thank you, bud. I'm good." I shook my head inwardly. He was even grinning playfully.

I scoffed. "Let's see about that."

"Don't bother, Jace. No woman will ever take Ky seriously anyway. Who knows, he might spend the rest of his life alone." Marcus butted in without looking at us because he was aiming to shoot. He was playing billiards with Zandro.

"I won't because Choco and Mocha will be with me." I gave him a dead-pan look.

"In case you forgot, Choco is your dog and Mocha is your cat." I reminded him and he scratched the back of his head as if he just remembered that they're his pets. The guys laughed. I shook my head. Kyrus is really crazy sometimes.

Later on, we joined the other guys on what they were doing. The others were already tipsy because they're drinking while playing.

Ackier didn't come back. Maybe, he's busy with that woman by now.

"Hey, have you turned into a saint now, bud? How come you don't want to drink?" It was Oeris.

"Well, my boss warned me not to drink and drive. I don't want to sleep in the other room for the next few days." They laughed.

"Such a dedicated husband, huh?" It was Zandro.

"Of course, I am." I answered proudly and he laughed while shaking his head.

"How come the others are not here? I thought, this is supposed to be a get together of all the TBG members?" I then asked.

"Don't ask the obvious, Montejo. The ones who are absent are obviously busy with their love-life." Zardius spoke for the first time with a serious face.

"Oh, you're here Zar. I didn't notice you." I jokingly said and he glared at me.

"Fùcker!" He hissed before chugging down the beer that he was drinking. "Why don't you make yourself useful and be my sparring partner?"

The corner of my lips lifted. "Sure." I then stood up. Zardius is my favorite sparring partner because he's good. One mistake and I will end up in the hospital for sure.

It was already past 10 pm when I decided to go home. Christine and JC were already sleeping. I took my shower first before finally laying down in bed. I kissed their foreheads before closing my eyes.

The next morning, I received a tongue-lashing from my sweet wife not because of coming home late but because of the result of Zardius and I's sparring. I had bruises on my face and arms. Well, Zardius was the same so we're equal.

"C'mon, mi amor. It was just a friendly match. I didn't fight with anyone. You know how good Zardius is." I reasoned out when she castigated me. She glared at me.

"You know that I hate seeing you with bruises like this. Even if it was just a friendly match, you knew that it was dangerous but you still did it. What if something bad happened to you?" I chuckled and then pulled her closer to me.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, mi amor. Don't worry because Zardius and I know our limits." I then planted a soft kiss on her lips. "Forgive me, please?" I asked with puppy dog eyes and she rolled her eyes.

"Please, please, please?" I kept on saying while kept on kissing her too. Her face finally softened.

"You really love making me mad." Even her voice has mellowed. I smiled.

"Am I forgiven?"

"On one condition."

"Sure. What is it?"

"Buy me an ice cream sandwich. I've been craving for one since yesterday." She answered.

"Sure, mi amor. I'll go buy now." I was about to go when she spoke again.

"One more thing."

"I thought, you only had one condition, mi amor?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Why? Is there a problem?"

I shook my head right away. "No, ma'am!" I even saluted like a soldier. She laughed and then squeezed my cheeks.

"You look silly." Damn! She looked so beautiful. I cupped her face and then kissed her passionately. She moaned with delight and kissed me back with equal fervor.

"The second condition is: make sure to keep your promise to your son. He's been looking forward for today."

"I intended to do that, mi amor. I promised him and I will surely keep my promise." She smiled.

"Very good." After that, I exited the house to buy my dear wife's ice cream sandwich. Of course, I bought some for me an JC too.

CHRISTINE's POV

After my work that Monday, I suddenly thought of dropping by at Bayleaf Corp., to visit my cousin, Regan. I suddenly missed him. We haven't seen each other for at least two months now. But at the same time, I wanted to ask something to him.

When Noel and I arrived there, I told him to just go to the café nearby to drink some coffee while waiting for me.

When I reached Regan's office, he was already getting ready to go home.

"What's up? You didn't inform me that you're going to drop by." He said upon seeing me.

"Well, I just missed you. We haven't seen each other for at least 2 months now. I just wanted to see you." I answered with a smile while gently rubbing my tummy.

"You should've called me instead of coming here by yourself. Remember that you're pregnant." I could hint the worry in his voice and that made me smile.

"It's fine. I needed the exercise." He rolled his eyes and continued arranging the stuff on his table. My eyes caught something on top of his table. It was a picture of him and Carina. My heart clenched tightly remembering about my best friend.

This was what I wanted to ask about to him. I've been wanting to see her for so long now and I missed her so bad already.

Until now, I've been regretting not telling her the truth back then. I felt like a terrible best friend because I let her continue her relationship with Reg even though I knew he truth.

Yes, one of the reasons why l didn't say anything back then because Reg begged me not to. I agreed because I knew how much he loved Carina. I knew what he'd been through with his ex-wife that's why when he finally found the love of his life, I didn't have the heart to get in the way.

I thought, he would find a way before Carina discovered about his secret but he didn't. Because of my silence, my best friend got hurt so bad. I took a deep breath in order to calm myself down.

"So, is there any news about her?" I tried to sound normal even though my heart was aching. He stopped what he was doing and then looked at me before sighing.

"I already found her, Chris." My eyes widened in surprise. Gosh! I couldn't believe it! Cari finally came back! An excited smile formed on my lips.

"Where is she? Did she talk to you? When did you find her?" He laughed amusedly.

"I managed to bring her back here in the USA." My forehead knitted together.

"What? She was not here? So, where did you find her?"

"I found her in the UK while I was there. At first, she didn't want to come home with me but I managed to convince her."

"So, where is she now? Can I see her?" I asked expectantly. Gosh! I really felt excited and happy. I've been helping Regan on finding Carina before but because of all the unfortunate events that happened to my family these past few years, I stopped.

It dawned on me before too that maybe, we couldn't find her no matter what we effort we exerted because she didn't want to be found. I respected her decision because I knew that one day, she would eventually come back. And now, that day finally came.

"They're at home. You can visit her if you want to." I suddenly felt sad upon hearing that. I felt like I didn't have the face to show her after what happened in the past. I shook my head.

"I don't know if I could face her after what happened. I know for sure that she's angry at me." I couldn't stop the tears that pooled from my eyes. Regan approached me and then comforted me by pulling me closer to him while rubbing my back.

"It's okay. You know her better than anyone else. She is your best friend and I believe that everything could be sort out with a proper talk. Go and visit her when you're ready." I nodded my head and then leaned my head on his shoulder.

When if finally felt okay, we chatted for about 30 minutes more before we exited the building together and went home.

When I arrived home, JC happily greeted me with a warm hug.

"Mommy, daddy and I made a dessert! Come, taste it. I'm sure, you'll like it." He enthusiastically said.

"Really? Your daddy came home early?" I wasn't expecting that because he usually comes home around 7 pm.

"Yes, mommy. I wanted to eat sweets and daddy decided for us to make one." He then pulled me by the hand and took me to the kitchen.

There, I saw my handsome husband, wearing shorts and apron. As usual, he wasn't wearing any shirt on.

"Hi, Mrs. Montejo. You're becoming more beautiful with each passing day." He said huskily before kissing me on the lips. I couldn't help but to feel giddy. Such a sweet-tongued guy.

"Hmm. Such a flatterer, huh?"

"Nope. Just being honest, mi amor." I was about to answer when JC spoke.

"Mommy, c'mon! Have a taste." He said as he climbed up onto the island counter stool chair and then sat there. My forehead wrinkled upon seeing the dessert.

"What's this dessert called, sweetheart?"

"Le—Le—" I chuckled because it looked like he forgot. "I know. It's leche flan, right, daddy?"

"Very good, son. Yes, you're right." He then explained to me that it was a Filipino dessert that one of his friends taught him. I excitedly tasted it and it was so yummy.

"You helped daddy make this, sweetheart?"

"Yes, mommy." He answered proudly.

"Wow. Good job!" I then kissed his cheek. He giggled.

"What about me, mi amor?" Jace questioned, pointing at himself. That made me chuckle. I kissed him on the lips.

"It's delicious and I liked it. Thank you for your and JC's effort." He beamed as he pulled me by the waist.

"Anything for our queen, right, buddy?" Our son nodded his head with a wide smile on his face.

After that, we ate dinner and then enjoyed the dessert that they made afterwards. While we were in bed that night, I told Jace the good news about Carina and he was happy for me.

"I think, it's better for you to go see Carina. Whatever happened in the past, that didn't change the fact that you two are best friends. This is your chance to talk to her to fix everything between you two." Jace advised me.

"You're right, mi amor. I've been feeling so bad and guilty about what I did in the past and I think that this is the right time now to see her. I missed her already."

"I'm sure, she missed you too. I've witnessed how close you two were before and I'm sure that she wants to see you too."

Because of that, I finally got the courage to go see my long-lost best friend.

The next day, I went to Regan's place and I was surprised when I saw Angela there. I haven't seen her for so long and now, she's suddenly here.

"Oh, my gosh! I didn't know that you're here. How come you didn't come visit me? You've been living in Greece this past one year, right?" I asked, pouting, after we hugged each other.

"Yes, I was there. I'm sorry if I didn't drop by your place to see you. I wasn't feeling well since I arrived." Somehow, an unknown emotion passed through her eyes but it disappeared as soon as it appeared.

"Are you okay?" She then flashed a smile.

"Of course, I am. Come on in. I'll just call Reg and Carina." I swallowed hard. My heart suddenly started beating nervously.

We went to the living room and then Angela went upstairs to call them. I was so tensed while waiting. Then, after a couple of minutes, I heard someone clear their throat. I stood up as if I was in a trance when I saw who it was. Emotion flooded my chest.

She looked so different now; so sexy with her outfit. I couldn't believe that she wears outfits like this now.

I walked towards her without a second thought and hugged her tightly. It has been four years and it felt surreal.

"Oh, my God! Cari, you're really here!" My tears fell. I felt so happy. I was kinda expecting for her to push me away but to my surprise, she hugged me back. Before coming here, I had a lot of things that I wanted to say to her but now, my emotions got the best of me. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes before we sat down.

I then finally managed to say what I've been wanting to say for so long.

"I'm sorry, Cari. After all these years, I couldn't forgive myself for not telling you about Reg's secret beforehand. I understand if you're angry at me. I know, we hurt you." I said full of regret.

"Please, forgive me for not telling you the truth, Cari. It's just that Reg begged me not to tell you and that he was planning on telling you himself but things got out of hand and that led you leaving." My tears continuously falling. She remained silent for a couple of seconds before I heard her sigh.

"That's enough, Tin. I admit, I got angry at you, but then, I realized that maybe you had a good reason why you did that. Let's just forget about all that and move on. We can't change what already happened." That surprised me. Until now, she's still soft hearted.

Even after all the pain that she's been, she managed to stay calm in front of me.

I bit my lower lip. "Am I forgiven?" She nodded her head. I hugged her happily and thanked her.

"Why didn't you tell me about it anyway?"

"As I've told you just now, Reg begged me not to tell you. I agreed to him because I didn't want you to get hurt. Even me, I was hurting for you that time but I understood my cousin's reasoning then. Did he explain everything to you? About his marriage and all?" She shook her head with furrowed eyebrows.

"You must talk to him about it. I think, you need to know everything." She shook her head again.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Enough of this. I don't want to stress you out. You're pregnant and I don't want this to affect your baby." I was about to say something when I felt my baby moved. My eyes widened. It really felt weird when this happens.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. I just felt my baby kicked and it felt so strange." I giggled.

"Yeah. I know that feeling. When are you due? Who's the lucky guy?"

"2 months from now. His name is Jace. I will introduce him to you one of these days. Anyway, what do you mean by you know this feeling? Don't tell me..." Carina chuckled.

"Yes, you guessed it right. I already have a child. She'll be down here any moment now." I was so shocked of her revelation. Later on, her daughter finally came down together with Regan and the moment I first looked at her, I already knew that she was Regan's. The resemblance was uncanny.

"Come here, baby. This is your Aunt, Christine. She is your dad's cousin and my best friend. Chris, she is Scarlet, my daughter." Carina introduced.

"Our daughter." Regan corrected as he sat beside Carina and wrapped an arm around her waist. I couldn't hold back my giggle. They looked so sweet.

"Hello, Scarlet. You're so cute. Come, give Aunt Christine a kiss and hug." I beaconed her and she did right away. She was too cute. I couldn't believe that Reg and Cari already have a little angel.

We continued chatting like that until Angela joined us. She said that she would go home to France in two days. Reg even asked if she could introduce her boyfriend to the family but she just said that she didn't need a guy in her life.

She sounded okay when she said that but I knew her enough to know that she was lying. I could see the sadness and pain in her eyes even if she appeared to be fine. I wanted to ask her about it but I decided to just keep quiet. Angela doesn't want to be pitied on.

After our happy conversation, they invited me for lunch and I gladly accepted. While we were eatin, I noticed that Regan was being extra sweet towards Cari and that made me feel happy. Even though I could tell that Cari was acting reserved towards him, her eyes were twinkling.

Now, I could finally feel at ease because Cari finally came home. After lunch, Carina and I continued our talk and she told me everything that happened in her life ever since she left the USA. I was so happy to learn that she's finally with her father.

Upon learning that she didn't live a miserable and hard life, my happiness finally completed. These past few months were the happiest moments of my life but there was still missing. Deep inside of me, I wanted to see my best friend to know if she was doing fine or not.

Now, we finally got reconnected and I couldn't ask for more. Everything finally fell into place and now, my heart finally felt lighter.

When I arrived home, my son and husband greeted me cheerfully with a hug and that put a smile on my face. I maybe the happiest person alive right now and I couldn't ask for more.

"Where have you been, mommy? We've been waiting for you." My son asked.

"Yeah. He kept on checking outside if you already arrived home." Jace said while chuckling.

"Aw. Did you miss mommy?" He nodded his head. "Sorry for taking so long. Mommy went to your Uncle Regan's house to see my best friend." JC's forehead creased.

"Best friend?"

"Yes, sweetheart. One of these days, mommy will introduce you to her and her daughter, Scarlet."

"Scarlet?"

"Yes, sweetheart. She's your cousin too. Soon, you'll meet them."

"Wait, mi amor. Regan and Carina have a daughter?" Jace asked curiously.

"Yes, mi amor. Surprised?" He nodded his head. "Me too. Soon, we'll see them." Jace smiled.

"I can't wait to make fun of that guy. I can't imagine him being a dad. That guy doesn't even know how to smile. How can he play with his daughter being so serious like that?" I laughed.

"Hey, Reg is a nice guy. I'm sure, he will be a wonderful father to Scarlet."

"Well, let's see about that." I was about to say something when JC spoke.

"Mommy, daddy, let's go. It's already getting late." Jace and I laughed because of what our son said. We decided to go to the nearby amusement park and he was so excited. He's been asking us to bring him there but we didn't have a time lately.

"Like father, like son indeed. Impatient." I remarked and Jace laughed heartily.

"Well...That's a Montejo for you, mi amor." I rolled my eyes. He cupped my face and then kissed me tenderly on the lips.

"I love you, Mrs. Montejo." A smile broke across my face. He really says that everyday and I would never get tired of hearing it.

"I love you too, Mr. Montejo." We were about to kiss once again when JC interrupted us.

"What about me, mommy, daddy?" He was even pointing his finger at himself. Jace and I chuckled.

"Of course, mommy and daddy love you so much." I answered and he beamed happily.

"I love you too so much, mommy daddy." He then hugged us. My heart swelled with so much happiness. At last, no more pain and tears. Just love and happiness.
