The Other Man 3
Yumi and her friends left the restaurant, but they did not notice the guy standing behind him and also watching Ralph and Alicia.
-------
Alicia struggled to free her self from Ralph's embrace!
She gathers all her strength to push him away!
Ralph staggered back as Alicia pushed him with all her strength followed by a slap!
*Pak!*
Ralph's face tilted due to the force of Alicia's slap!
His eyes went wide open as he touched his cheek. It took a few seconds before he turned back his face to Alicia.
"How dare you do that?!" Anger could be seen on Alicia's eyes.
"I already told you to stop bothering me, and yet you dare to embrace me in public?"Ralph slowly put down his hand,
"I'm sorry, I was just drifted with my emotions," He said.
"Move away," Alicia said in a low yet deep voice.
"Are you happy with your life now?" Ralph asked instead of moving away.
"Yes!" Alicia replied, "I have a good, loving husband who accepted me and my son,"
"And what about his spoiled brat daughter?" Ralph asked again.
"Yumi is starting to treat me good, and I know she can accept me at the right time," Alicia said.
Raph went silent for a while.
"Alicia, I can understand that you're mad at me, I can understand if you hate me, but please, don't forbid me to see Yuhan, because I am his father," He said.
"Ha!" Alicia let out a sarcastic laugh, "Can you hear what you're saying?" She asked sarcastically, " How can you call your self a father when you were the first one who told me to kill that child?"
"Have you forget that you wanted him to be aborted?"
"Do you think he can accept the fact that his father never wants him to be born?"
Ralph was not able to say a word.
What else could he say?
Alicia was right!
He told her to abort that child and it made him feel ashamed of himself!
How heartless kind of father is he to want his child to be killed?
"This is my last warning to you, Ralph, don't mess up with my life if you don't want yours to be mess up too!" Alicia left after saying her word.

"Really, Dad?"
Ralph was a bit startled when Troy suddenly spoke as soon as he entered the house.
Troy got up from his seat and he walks closer to his dad, "You really don't want the Alcantara's influence, right?"
Ralph looked at his son, " What?"
"What kind of relationship do you have with Mrs. Alcantara?" Troy asked coldly.
"What are you talking about?" Ralph acted innocent.
"You can't deny it, dad. I saw it with my own two eyes," Troy replied.
Ralph rubbed his face, He walks to the couch and sat on it.
"You want to know?" He asked as he looked up to his son.
"I deserve the truth," Troy replied.
"Alright," Ralph nodded his head. " I will tell you," He added.
"She was my lover,"
It was just four words, but it was like a bomb that exploded in front of Troy!
"What?!" Troy blurted out in a faint voice with his unbelievable expression!
"She was my lover a few years ago and we have a son," Ralph confessed.
There's no use of lying anymore, Troy should know that he has a half brother.
Troy wasn't ready for his father's confession! It was another bomb that exploded in front of him, and it made his mind to be in chaos!
His father's word just couldn't sink into his mind!
Or, maybe he is just having difficulty accepting the truth?!
He only thought that his father was trying to snatch Mrs. Alcantara but what he discovers is just a big revelation!
"S-So... Y-You mean..." Troy's mind is still in chaos!
"That child..." Troy gulped before he spoke, "Yuhan,"
"Is my half brother?" He asked.
"Yes," Ralph did not hesitate to reply.
Troy closed his eyes tightly, this revelation only ruined his father's good image to him!
It was hard to believe that his father once betrayed him and his mother!

Alicia went back to the mansion after meeting Ralph and she was surprised to see Yumi sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Yumi, why are you home early?" She asked.
Yumi turned her head to Alicia and she stared at her coldly, "It's none of your business!" She said coldly.
Alicia was stunned with Yumi's reply, "Y-Yumi," She blurted out.
"Is there something wrong again?" She asked.
They were fine just this morning, but why her attitude is back again?
"You know what Alicia?""I really regretted that I choose to give you a chance," Yumi said, and then she got up from her seat and walks upstairs.
Alicia just watches Yumi's retreating back, she's not sure why she said those words!

After a few days, Dimitry went back to the old couple, but he wasn't still able to convince them to sell the beach even if he gave them the highest price.
"Let's go home," Dimitry said to Evo.
"We will stop the negotiation to them, sir?" Evo asked.
"Those couples will not sell the Island even if the price is ten folds from the first price that we offered to them," Dimitry replied."You know why?"
Evo kept silent, he just waited for his boss to continue talking.
"It's because they treasured their priceless memories in this Island."
"Sometimes, money can't really buy everything, especially the happy memories you have with your love ones," Dimitry added.
Now he realized the times that he missed witnessing Yumi grow up. He spends too much time on his business that he did not notice the things that he already missed.
-------
Back to the Capital City,
Yumi saw Alicia got out of her room, she's dressed and looks like she's going somewhere.
Yumi waited for Alicia to get out of the mansion before she followed her.
Meanwhile,
Alicia was not aware that Yumi is following her car, she took her phone and she made a phone call.
"Ange," She said to the person on the other line, "I'm on my way to your sister in-law's cafe," She said, and then she ended the call and put her phone back in her bag.
-------
Mar's Cafe (A/N: Just my idea)
"Welcome back to the Country!"
Angelie and Marcos turned their heads to Margaux who is walking to them while holding a food tray.
"Here is your order auntie!" Margaux said as she put the coffee and the slice of cake at the top of the table and then she walks to her uncle's side and put down his coffee too.
"Woah, did you bake these?" Marcos asked his niece.
"Of course!" Margaux replied proudly.
"Oh, my niece is not just smart and pretty, she is also a good baker," He exclaimed.
"And a good barista too!" Margaux added.
"Oh, I'm sure your boyfriend is proud of you," Angelie complemented.
Margaux just smiles at her auntie's word, 'I hope so,' She said inside.
"I'll go back to the counter now," Margaux excused her self before they asked about her "boyfriend" again.
"Alright," Angelie and Marcos replied.
"So, is Alicia coming?" Marcos asked his wife.
"Yes, she'll be here in a few minutes," Angelie said but then she felt weird in her stomach, "Oh, I just have to use the toilet for a while, don't leave okay?" She said after a while.
"Ennn..." Marcos nodded his head as a response.
Just as Angelie went to the toilet, a car parked in the cafe's car park and Alicia came down, she did not notice the other car stopped on the other side of the road.
Yumi did not get off the car, she just watches Alicia's every move.
Yumi looked at the cafe's name, she never heard this cafe before.
"Are we not going to park the car in the car park, Young miss?" Japhet asked.
"Let's just stay here," Yumi replied with her gaze fixed on Alicia.
"Alright, Young Miss," Japhet replied.
Yumi saw Alicia entered the cafe, she can still see her from the outside through the glass wall. She saw her approach a man sitting in one of the cafe's tables and Yumi's blood instantly boiled!
The guy has the same body build with the guy in the restaurant!
Yumi balled her fist, 'You dirty lady!'
'Now, I will catch you in the act,' She said inside, and then she the door and get off the car.
