Tatlong linggo na ang nakalipas simula nang nagsampa ng kaso ang kompanya ni Ren laban sa mga Monteverde at pinaboran sila ng korte kaya ngayon babalik na sila ni Anna sa mansion ng mga Monteverde. Ayon sa korte ang lupain ng mga Monteverde ay mapupunta sa kompanya ni Ren sa higit na 20 million. Kalahati ng dapat na makukuha ng mga ito sa dating kontrata.
"Babe are you ready?" tanong ni Ren kay Anna na nasa loob parin ng bathroom.
Sinuot ni Anna ang kanyang hikaw at ngumiti siya sa salamin, babalik na ulit sila sa mansion at ngayon susundin na siya ng mga Monteverde bilang bago nitong mga amo. Ayon din sa korte, magtratrabaho ang mga Monteverde sa kanila.
"One second." sigaw ni Anna. Tinignan niya ulit ang sarili niya sa salamin at ngumiti.
Lumabas siya at nakita niyang nakaupo si Ren sa dulo ng kama habang tinitignan nito ang relo niya. Lumapit siya dito at ngumiti "Let's go." she said and she took Ren's hand as they walked out of the room.
Sa labas ng villa ng mga Robledo ay ang mag-asawang Robledo. Lumapit si Ren kay Crisostomo Robdelo "Thank you very much for your hospitality." sabi nito at nakipagkamay siya kay Crisostomo.
"It was our pleasure Mr. Thorpe." Kristina Robledo said.
"I'll see you soon Mr. Robledo." sabi ni Ren.
"Of course, I'll call you when I have news with the building permits." sabi naman ni Crisostomo. Ang alam ni Anna may ginagawa ngayon si Ren para mag expand ang kompanya nito sa Pilipinas at si Crisostomo Robledo ang isa sa mga business partner nito para sa sinasabing deal.
Sumakay na sila ni Ren sa loob ng kotse pagkatapos nilang magpaalam sa mga Robledo.
"Babe." tawag ni Anna kay Ren.
Tumingin naman sa kanya si Ren "Why?"
"Remember Glow?" pagtatanong ni Anna. Glow ang brand ng damit na tumulong kay Anna na makapunta sa New York para makapag-aral ng fashion designs. "Well you see they want me to help them with their fashion show this weekend." pagkukwento niya.
"You should help if you want. I'll be in Manila for the whole week so you could come with me." pagaaya ni Ren sa kanya.
"They want a party Ren." sabi niya "And they found out we're staying at the mansion of the Monteverde." she added.
"It's our mansion now babe." Ren corrected.
"Ok our mansion. So can we throw a party and a fashion show at our mansion?" Anna smiled.
"Anna you don't have to ask for my permission. You know I'll always approve whatever you want." Ren smiled at her. "But now that you mention a party, can that party also be our welcoming party here at the Philippines. I'm doing some business and I want to get to know more of the business tycoons here."
Ngumiti si Anna "Of course. I'll ask Glow to invite more rich people." Anna chuckled. "And babe?"
"What else?" Ren asked with his amused tone.
"Well, when are we going back to New York?" she asked. "I have a fashion show to direct." dalawang buwan nalang at gaganapin na ang kanyang fashion show at wala siya sa New York para ayusin ang mga kailangan ayusin. Although natapos na niya ang mga designs niya para sa fashion show na iyon. Ang problema nalang ay ang promotions at sympre kailangan nasa New York siya sa araw ng fashion show.
"Oh I almost forgot your show. We'll leave a week before the show. But if I'm not yet finish with my business here, we'll go back ok?" Ren said.
Alam ni Anna na importante kay Ren yung ginagawa niya ngayon dito sa Pilipinas para sa Thorpe Industries at bilang fiance nito kailangan suportahan din niya ang ginagawa ni Ren. "Of course. But do remember Ren we still have our wedding to plan." she smiled.
Dahil sa sobrang busy nilang dalawa, wala pa silang naplaplano para sa kasal nila. Hindi naman sila nagmamadali pero madami na din ang naghihintay sa kasal nila.
Ngumiti si Ren "How could I forget that my love?" he asked teasingly. "I already hired a planner and she'll be here this week to talk to you. I assume your wedding dress will be designed by your mentor?"
Tumango si Anna "He said he is already creating my perfect wedding dress." she said excitedly. "But I'll make yours." ngumiti siya "I want to be the one creating your perfect wedding suit."
Ren leaned towards her and kissed her softly "That seemed expensive."
"It would be."
Huminto na ang kotse at pinagbuksan sila ni Lucas ng pinto, lumabas si Ren at sunod si Anna. Nasa labas ng mansion ay ang buong pamilya kasama ang mga trabahador nito. Agad nakita ni Anna ang pagsimangot si Lilac nang lumabas siya ng kotse.
Lumapit si Roberto at Alicia sa kanila. "Welcome back to the mansion Mr. Thorpe." pagbati ni Roberto kay Ren "Anna." bati nito sa kanya na parang wala lang.
She quickly dismissed it, she was in a good mood and they won't ruin her mood. "Ren I'm going to call Glow and would you mind calling the planner and asking her to come now, I want her help with the party this weekend." she said at medyo lumayo siya sa mga ito para tawagan ang Glow.
"Babe are you ready?" tanong ni Ren kay Anna na nasa loob parin ng bathroom.
Sinuot ni Anna ang kanyang hikaw at ngumiti siya sa salamin, babalik na ulit sila sa mansion at ngayon susundin na siya ng mga Monteverde bilang bago nitong mga amo. Ayon din sa korte, magtratrabaho ang mga Monteverde sa kanila.

"You're throwing a party?" tanong ni Alicia kay Ren.
"Yes." sagot niya dito "If you heard about Glow, they asked Anna to help them with the fashion show this week and we took this opportunity to host a party for us. We'd be staying in the Philippines for a long time so I need to get to know some of the business people here." pagpapaliwanag niya.
"Why would a known brand asked Anna to help them?" Alicia asked. Ren frowned. Hindi siguro nila alam kung ano ang propesyon ni Anna.
"Anna is a fashion designer." sagot niya. Halatang nagulat ang magasawa pati na din si Lilac pero hindi si Art. "She's a well known designer back in New York. And Glow was the one who helped her get into Parsons before." he explained.
"Oh. That's.... unexpected. Anna ...... she never....." Alicia trailed off. "So a party?" she changed the topic.
"Yes. Would you like to help? I mean this was your place and Anna would need some hands for the party." Ren suggested. "And you said Lilac is a great cook why not cater for the party."
"I... I..."
"That would be wonderful Mr. Thorpe. Alicia and Lilac would help Anna with the party." Roberto said.
Ngumiti si Ren sa mga ito. "Anna would appreciate it."
"Ren!" napalingon si Ren kay Anna na nakangiti na para bang may maganda itong balita. Tumakbo ito papunta sa kanya at niyakap niya agad si Ren. "Ren!" she called again.
"What is it babe?" he asked.
Humiwalay si Anna at ngumiti ulit ito sa kanya "I'll have a collaboration with Valentino!" she announced.
Nagulat si Ren. "Wow that's great. But how? I thought..."
"We'll finish the collection we first worked on when I was his intern." sabi ni Anna.
"The wedding collection." Ren said. Nakwento na ito dati sa kanya ni Anna, eto yung collection na hindi nila natapos ni Valentino dahil tinulungan na siya nito na mag handa para sa sarili niyang fashion line. Para magkaroon ng sariling pangalan.
"Yes Ren!" Anna smiled "And he said he's already done with my wedding dresses." she announced. "I need to go to Italy and see the designs."
"Could he not just send the designs here?" Ren asked.
"He can but I want to see the materials he will use for my wedding dress. I want our wedding to be perfect and my wedding dress is one of the things that needs perfection."
He sighed "Ok." he said habang nakahawak parin siya sa waist ni Anna. "After your fashion show we'll go to Italy."
Anna smiled a little, the smile that it was not what she wanted "Well, I was kinda hoping I could go now, you know stay there until my fashion show to work on our collaboration and of course our wedding." dagdag niya.
"I still have business here." Ren said.
"I'll see you in New York. Ren this is Valentino's last collaboration and he wants me. I can't say no to him." Anna said.
"We'll talk about this later." Ren said. Tinignan niya ulit ang mga Monteverde na halatang nakinig sa kanilang usapan."Anna." pagtawag niya kay Anna "Alicia and Lilac would like to help you with the party so work with them ok?" he said.
Anna sighed. "Of course." she said.
Alam ni Ren na hindi natuwa si Anna sa sinabi niya, na alam na nito na hindi siya papayag na pumunta siya sa Italy magisa. He sighed "I'll call Valentino and ask him to go here." he said. "I'm sure he'd love to travel into a tropical country."
"You'd do that?" Anna asked.
"I'll do anything to make you happy. But if he won't come then you can go to Italy and I'll see you in New York." he smiled.
Niyakap agad siya ni Anna. "Thank you Ren." she whispered in his ears. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." sabi niya.
Lahat gagawin niya para lang mapasaya si Anna. At kung ang pagpunta sa Italy ang ikakasaya nito then so be it.
Hindi man maalala ni Anna na may plano sila para sa mga Monteverde ayos lang. Isa sa mga pangarap ito ni Anna kaya susuportahan niya ito kahit ano pang mangyari.
The Monteverde can wait.
