Love Of My Life

Chapter 22

The tension between Maya and Francisco reached its peak as Maya sought solace and clarity from Moon. With a heavy heart, Maya related Fransisco's heartfelt confession, revealing his true feelings for Moon and his determination to pursue his own path, regardless of his mother's expectations.

Meanwhile, Fransisco stood his ground against his mother's manipulative tactics, confronting her with unwavering resolve. In a bold declaration of his autonomy, he made it clear that he would not succumb to her schemes, especially when it came to matters of the heart. Fransisco's unwavering commitment to Moon reverberated through his words, leaving his mother stunned and speechless.

As Moon grappled with the whirlwind of emotions swirling around her, she found solace in the company of her friends from F3. However, their moments of camaraderie were shattered when Amelia, Fransisco's mother, unexpectedly appeared at Moon's doorstep. Amelia's accusatory words cut through the air like a knife, as she hurled insults and accusations at Moon, questioning her motives and integrity. But Moon, fueled by a fierce determination and righteous anger, refused to back down in the face of Amelia's vitriol.

With a defiant spirit, Moon lashed out at Amelia, unleashing a torrent of harsh words and accusations in return. She refused to be intimidated or belittled, standing her ground with unwavering strength and resolve. In a final act of defiance, Moon castigated Amelia, branding her as an old hag and casting her out of her home.

As the news of Moon's eviction spread, concern and support poured in from her friends, each offering their own home as a sanctuary. Francisco, in particular, was elated to hear that Moon was willing to stand up against his mother for their relationship.

However, amidst the excitement and solidarity, F3 expressed their worries about Fransisco's impulsive actions, cautioning him about the gravity of the situation. They emphasized that while Fransisco might be willing to face the consequences alone, he now had the added responsibility of protecting Moon.

Fransisco wasted no time in bringing Moon to his house, determined to provide her with shelter and support during this challenging time. As they walked together, Fransisco could sense Moon's uncertainty and vulnerability, but he was resolved to offer her reassurance and comfort in any way he could.

Despite Moon's suggestion of seeking refuge with Sophia or Jeremy, Fransisco dismissed the idea with a shake of his head. "No," he said firmly, his voice carrying a note of conviction. "They're not your boyfriend. I am. And I'm committed to standing by your side through this."

Fransisco's words carried a weight of determination and loyalty, reflecting his unwavering dedication to being there for Moon when she needed him most. As they arrived at his house, he opened the door, gesturing for her to enter with a reassuring smile. Fransisco's brows furrowed in confusion as he confronted the unexpected presence of Donna, the older woman, who seemed to be taking charge in his mother's absence. He hadn't expected to see her here, especially given the circumstances.\

"What are you doing here, Donna?" Fransisco questioned, his tone edged with a mixture of surprise and suspicion. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Donna met his gaze calmly, unfazed by his inquiry. "Your mom told me to be in charge while she's in London," she explained matter-of-factly, her voice carrying a hint of authority that suggested she took her instructions seriously. Her demeanor, through composed, left Francisco with more questions than answers, leaving him to wonder about the true extent of Donna's role in his mother's absence.
