Homepage/Owen Louise Burke: Carrying the Baby of a Stranger (English)/

The children are the precious treasure to all parents.
Because of the incident of Hector's harassment, Owen's parents became even stricter in watching over them. Because they were very happy with the result of the DNA 99.999999% that the children are really Owen's children. They didn't flake anymore and the private army hired them to watch over Marriel and the children, day or night.
"If our treasure will be your protection, we will do it, just to ensure the safety of you and your mother." Owen's mom said.
"Thank you," Marriel cried and said to Owen's mother.
"I can't miss what Hector did, I didn't trust that boy even when Owen first introduced him to us. There's something different about him that I can't figure out." Owen's father explained.
"Maybe we'll just be strong, since we have a fight from Hector, I know he will be a threat to my children." Marriel said to Owen's parents.
"That's not possible!" Owen's mom said angrily.
"We will do everything, for everyone's safety." Owen's father said.
On one side, Owen was smiling and watching his parents. Owen's expression showed great joy, his parent's dream had come true.
No one can gather the truth.
"Thank you," Marriel said to them.
"What for?" Owen's parent responded sparingly and smiled at Marriel while waiting for her response.
Their conversation was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.
"Ma'am, a woman named Joysie is waiting outside. Look for Marriel Barrientos." One of the housemates said.
"My cousin!" Marriel answered them sparingly.
"Keep going Nirisa." Said the old woman.
"It will follow ma'am." His housemate said.
A woman Nirisa opened, Marriel saw her and was immediately greeted with a very tight hug.
"I miss you so much Marriel, if I don't tease Rankin he won't tell me where you are!" Joysie said to her cousin Marriel.
"How are you Joysie, I miss you too! Uncle Thomas? How is he? Brother Tenner? Is he still mad at me?" Marriel asked Joysie one after the other.
"You have a lot of questions, but please, I will answer them all. Dad is fine, he misses you and says he doesn't show up anymore. Dad is still managing the business. Everything is fine, his health is also the same dad. As for brother Tenner, projects are always sloppy, so in the end he returned to our business and focused on that." Joysie said, he approached her briefly to whisper about whatever news he wanted to say.
"She is also married to a rich man who is quite old, it is unlikely to have a child because she is menopause." Joysie said to him but weakly.

Only the truth will set you free, only the truth can give you peacefulness in your mind, it's been settled all the problems in your head, can vanish the hatred in your heart, but can buried you alive.
Because of Tenner's anger towards Marriel, even now that he can't see her anymore, his anger has intensified. The only reason why he is so angry is because of the past that will never flare up no matter how deep it is buried, this is the fact that Marriel is not really his father's niece. But, this is his father's son in sin. What Marriel met as parents was just a myth, they were friends of their father.
Tenner's anger towards Marriel intensified because it was seen that his love seemed to be deeper for their known cousin, their mother revealed to Tenner the truth about Marriel.
Tenner was very angry with Marriel because his father always defended him whenever there was a misunderstanding and he always looked bad even though in reality he was just venting his anger because of his late mother. He died of anger, not of any disease.
He became very angry with the world, ultimately because his whole brother was not even able to take his side. Coming to Marriel, Tenner grew old with anger in his heart and he could not consider his brother the reason why he misses his mother.
There was an elderly woman he felt comfortable with, maybe because he missed his mother so much, this woman was the answer to reduce the burden he was feeling a little. A lot of people judge him that maybe he's just making money off the woman, but the truth is that he's very happy with this woman.
Several years passed without anger in Tenner's heart, because Soledad, his wife, opened another door for him to change. It showed him not to be angry if his father had done something wrong, but to face it and forgive him.
"Honey, what are you doing on Sunday?" Soledad said to Tenner.
"I'll date you, won't you do anything?" Tenner said here. Ever since Marriel disappeared from their business, his anger has lessened a bit, especially since he met Soledad.
"Darling, I wish we could go to the doctor, I wish we could pay for the procedure they say so we can start a family." Soledad said, she thought about that matter.
"Hmm, come on dear. I'll do everything I can for our dream!" Tenner said to his wife.
"My wife is so sweet!" Soledad said to Tenner. Suddenly the door opened and they saw his father Thomas.
"What the hell are you two doing, stop your madness. All you have in mind is a big expense, find a job Tenner if you really want to fulfill your dream with your husband. Don't rely on Soledad's bank account." His father Thomas said, since Marriel didn't come back, his father treated him harshly every day and that's what he can't accept.
"What's wrong with our dreams? Is it wrong for us to dream of having children?" His father shouted.
"Yes! It's really wrong! Do you know why I'm angry with you? Because I'm not your son, you and Joysie just adopted you. And I'm even more angry because whoever my son is, he's still struggling and I'm not together. Or what, you already know?" His father shouted. Finally, what was true also came out of its own mouth. But Tenner's heart broke even more when he heard something he didn't expect.
"What else? Aren't Joysie and I your children?" Tenner said.
"I'm here!" The door opened and Joysie entered.
"Let's make it clear, dad? Are you serious? We're not Joysie's children, who are your children? Only Marriel? Maybe you're just mad, dad? Don't make it a joke!" Tenner said crying.
"Brother? What are you talking about?" Joysie was crying openly.
"Yes, your mother is barren and we can't have children. That's why Marriel's mother became the one I ran into and formed Marriel. She was my college sweetheart from before, but she also left me because of her heartache. Her mother" yes, I don't love him, our parents just forced us to get married. We only adopted you two because we have no children and no one to inherit my property. But I just can't accept anyone else who is not my child. the one who wants to hurt my real son." Mang Thomas resented Tenner.
"Do you think I don't know about the harm you are doing to my son? Thank you, I educated you, while I didn't even send my own son to a good school. And now you are going to criticize me? You really have nothing thank you! I'm not your son so I have to tell you this." Mang Thomas shouted at his son Tenner.
"Well, sorry. I didn't know!" Tenner said. It fell to its knees and pulled itself together.
"Pa, please forgive my brother. Maybe it's just because of the stress at school." Joysie said.
"No, I know he has known about my family for a long time. But he didn't even wonder why your mother didn't let my son go. Because the secret is that you are not my son and she can't give me a son will slap him. If he hadn't forced me to marry him, maybe I would be happy with the mother of my son and Marriel. And you're not Tenner who is full of body envy." Mang Tomas said here.
"I'm sorry dad!"
