Will she be able to accept his destiny?
It seems like Eva needs a little somethin' some thin'. Why is she so uptight?! I hope she gets her some soon. 😉
So far so good. Update soon!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed
I wonder what Ji Soon is into?!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Some things are better left unsaid.
Wow! That was intense ... please update soon! 💗
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Can't wait for more! I'm in love with 'Unguarded', so I'm interested to see what's in store for Ben.
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed 
In the wake of an ugly divorce, Natalia executes a scheme meant to move her beyond the hurt inflicted by her ex-husband, Richard. The plan is to ease her suffering by increasing his, and her weapon, a younger man unwittingly drawn into the illicit plot.
In the quest for revenge, will Natalia realize her goal of bringing Richard to his knees? Or will vengeance and her weapon of choice become her undoing?
Alright Ms. JJ! We back online, and it's on like pop'con! I need my fix, so where's that update?! 😍
Wow! You really brought it with this one JJ (1000 stars!!!). This was drama to the fullest! I feel bad for all of them, (Natalia, Ant, and Rich). Was a bit frustrating to see Ant still coming to his mama's defense after she talked so bad about Nat, but I suppose that's his mama. Richard is a straight-up coward. Still trying to save face with all of his lies. Definitely not a good look for a 'real' man. I hope Natalia is ok healthwise given the emotional and physical stress she's been put through. A bit surprised that Rich spilled the beans, but I supposed he just couldn't take Mercede and her pitiful self-righteous act while throwing Natalia under the bus. Again, i just hope Natalia's knowledge of the secret doesn't place a wedge between her and Ant. Was wondering when one of the family members was going to show their bigotry and take it "there"(Uncle Joe).
Great update!
Yeah, Ant had a soft spot for Mercede and showed her way more concern than she deserved. He won't be making that mistake again.
Nat's okay at the moment, more worried about Ant than anything.
Poor Rich, Mercede said the wrong thing at the wrong time and tapped into decades of resentment. It was the worst possibiliy way for Ant to find out the truth, but it's out now. Hopefully all their relationships with survive the fallout.
Thanks Musicluva! So happy you enjoyed the update : )
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Thank God! Keeping her and the babies in my prayers. Now, Anthony needs to find his father. I also think it's time for a little sexual healing ('carefule' sexual healing) for Ant and Talia. With all the pressures of life they've experienced, they're way long over due. 😉
Lovely update!
Lol @ the 'careful' sexual healing. The setting for the epilogue won't really allow for any of that, but rest assured, as soon as the doctor gave the go ahead, these two were back at it. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed I think Natalie said all she needed to say. Good for her! She doesn't owe her ex a damn thing!
She certainly doesn't. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed One thing I forgot to mention is about Rich, and how he's impacted by all of this. Even though he acts all hard assed on the outside, you can really tell he cares about his family. His statement to Natalia at the end has my heart going out to him as well. Seems as if he feels that his own relationship with Ant has been jeaprodized by all of this when he mentioned that he thinks Natlia and the baby will be the only ones considered family. I just hope that once Ant gets past the initial impact of this, he'll come to realize what's really important and who has had his back the whole time.
I wonder how much of the meealee of the argument between Ant's and his family will Natalia be subjected to on her voice mail? Whew! Can't wait for the next update!
You're right. Rich acts tough, but he's been affected by his father's and Mercede's lies and betrayal more than I think even he realized. Of all the things and people he cares about, none rank higher than Anthony, which is why he's devastated to have had a hand in hurting him. He pretty much assumes he's ruined their relationship. Hopefully, he's wrong.
What Nat heard will be revealed next chapter. Thanks for sharing your insight, Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Dag, Richard just needs to take a hint ( more like several ) and give up!
I think he finally got it. Thanks Musicluva!
I think he finally got it. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Hopefully Ant can find some consolation in the fact that his real dad did make an honestly hard attempt to be in his life. I truly hope that he is able to connect with him.
Knowing his father wanted and fought so hard for him may be bitter-sweet for Anthony. More on that next chapter. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed I'm relieved that Natalie isn't planning on giving into Richard. I can't imagine her being able to put her trust, time, and energy into someone who treated her the way that he did. At least she isn't going to string him along. Something that he dev didn't do for her. Maybe this can be the beginning of her trying to move on and start fresh.
Hopefully. But you know Richard's not going to give up that easy. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Wow! Wonder what happened to Rich? And why is he at Natalia's doorbetep? Hmmmmm ?!?!
Hmmmm indeed. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Good 'ol Rich! Loved it! 😄
Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed It's a bitch that Ant's mom and Sabrina are trying to run his life. I understand being concerned as a parent, but after he told them what he wants and he's happy multiple times, at some point you have to let go and let them live their life.
I really hope things work out favorably for Natalia and Ant this time around.
I agree with your approach to parenting adults. We'll keep our fingers crossed for a bouncing baby something. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Man, talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! I sure hope Natalia doesn't stress herself out about this and risk her health and the pregnancy. This new development came out of left field for me, but she'd some light on why Ant's father (or rather the man he though was his father) has been such a complete ass. Great update!
Poor Nat. She's in for one. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Well damn. When it rain it pours. I wonder what the hell happened?!
Yes, it does. Pop-Pop died of natural causes/long-term illness. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed I'm glad Natalia was there for Anthony in his time of need, (again, thanks to Rich). Also glad she had a chance to meet the family, and that Ant has learned from his and his fathers past mistakes. I sure hope Richard doesn't use the fact that Natalia had previous knowledge about his paternity as a way of trying to drive a wedge between them. Please update soon! I am so loving this story ... can't get enough!!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed
D@mn! Richard is such a creep! Richard made it seem like he and Natalia were just screwing. I hope Natalia clears the air to let them know it was more than that. So much drama! I love it!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Wow! My heart goes out to Ant. Learning that his mom chose that bastard Richard over him was f'ed up! Not only that, but the fact that his real father fought so hard to be a part of his life makes Merced just as bad, if not worse than Richard. I wonder if he'll try to meet his dad. I hope so. I'm glad that Natalia was truthful about her knowledge of the situation, and that he can find it in himself to forgive Rich. I wonder if he will ever confront Richard? If so, I'm sure it'll be as crazy as before. Praying that the baby is ok. Awesome update !
Mercede really did herself and, more importantly, her son a disservice. But she's too self-absorbed to really grasp that. Thanks for commenting, Musicluva! All your very valid questions and curiosities will be answered in the next couple chapters.
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Absolutely beautiful! This was amazing, and I just loved it! 😃😂💖💖💖😭😭😍😍😄
Thanks Musicluva! So glad to hear you enjoyed the story, and thanks for reviewing and taking this journey with me.
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed As Joss and Eshan prepare to wed, will the relationship survive long enough to see "for better" when their families become their "for worse"?
Loved it! Pearl is the absolute BEST!!!! a86;
Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed I loved this story! It is absolutely beautiful!! 💖💖💖💖
Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed Wow! Stay strong Joss! Know that true love conquers all, and that you and Eshen deserve to be happy together!
You're so encouraging and supportive. Poor Joss. She's gonna need it. Thanks Musicluva!
Reviewer: Musicluva Signed
I know Joss would feel better with her family's support, but with Eshen there, it will be just fine. Love the update.
