Julie Madrigal was a mother of two children. Once she was legally separated from her ex-husband, she went to the only place she felt safe. The Scottish Highlands. Then again, she had only seen the place in books and videos, but the land called to her. And she wasn't expecting love. Duncan McLaren was the current Laird of the land. He was charming, helpful, and the epitome of a perfect man. Yet he hides a secret that would destroy the very thing he hold dear to his heart. Meeting Julie was kismet and he would gladly give up everything to be with her and the kids. But will love be enough to keep her? Or will the past destroy everything?
"Mabuhay, Welcome to The Philippines."
Those words echoed on the overhead speaker. The sense of foreboding enveloped me. This was the first time I set foot in my home country after five years.
I never wanted to return in the first place. If it wasn't for Grandma Ai.
The kids clung to either side of me. Duncan was behind me while Colin and Fujin were in front. Both of them were carrying boxes of chocolate from Belgium. Since we do not have any luggage, and we were on a private plane our exit from the terminal was quicker.
It was the heat that hit me the moment we stepped out of the terminal, then the nest was the number of people waiting for a cab. Duncan was dragging me to one of the cars that were parked on the side.
It was one of those big cars that celebrities used. The kids were already settled. The two young gods with us were sitting in the front while I and Duncan were at the back.
