A Man Who Has It All (Epilogue)

February 24, 2033, 5:30 PM - Sargeant Esguerra Avenue corner Mother Ignacia Street, Baranggay South Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City - DA Corporate Center (Former ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center)

Rising high above the bustling city, a magnificent new high-rise estate shimmered under the sun's rays. The towering structure served as the prestigious corporate headquarters of the DA Corporation, a vast and diverse conglomerate of businesses that had established a dominant presence across multiple industries.

The land on which the magnificent building now stood was once owned by one of the biggest TV networks in the Philippines, ABS-CBN broadcasting corporation. However, due to unfair and underhanded tactics by the government, they lost their franchise, resulting in job losses and a significant impact on the economy. As a result, they were compelled to sell the property, which was eventually acquired by a young, brilliant business tycoon. His unwavering ambition and drive propelled him to great heights of success, allowing him to transform the property into a center of business not only for the whole country but also for international markets.

The DA Corporation stood as a towering testament to the man's tenacity and unrelenting pursuit of excellence, a magnificent monument of achievement towering over the heart of the bustling metropolis.

Perched in his office at the pinnacle of a newly constructed high-rise luxury building that served as the main headquarters of his corporation, the man savored his iced coffee as he intently studied the reports displayed on the large screen embedded in the wall, all of which were connected to his laptop.

After a while, he let out a sigh and reached for the intercom on the edge of his desk.

"Ms. J, could you please check my schedule from tomorrow until Friday?" the tycoon inquired into the intercom.

"Good afternoon, sir," Ms. J's voice came through the intercom. "Your schedule for the next few days is quite packed. You have multiple meetings, a number of events to participate in, and several client dinners to host. Additionally, you have a site inspection scheduled for a newly acquired location that is set to be converted into an event space. Let me print out the exact schedules and send them over to your office."

The tycoon pauses for a good while then replies, "Sorry to put this onto you, but can cancel and move all of them for after this Friday."

"Sir, I don't think that's wise," Ms. J protested. "You have several important appointments lined up this week, and millions could be lost if you miss any of them."

The tycoon thought for a moment, he replies that it's fine, move what can be moved, and let go of what can't be salvaged. "I can afford to lose a few million."

"It's really nice to be super rich huh?" Ms. J joked in a polite way.

The man laughed and said, "It's not like that" He paused again, gathering his thoughts before continuing, "I just have something I really want to do. You know I wasn't always this wealthy. It's been ten years since that day when I thought I had lost everything, where I lost all hope. But after going through a lot, here I am now, happy and with more money than I can even spend in my lifetime. I just want to take a break and celebrate - celebrate life, the life I almost lost, the life I almost took away from myself years ago."

"Alright, sir," Ms. J replied, "I understand. I'll make sure to take care of the schedules. I will do my best to make the necessary adjustments and inform all parties involved."

"Thank you, Ms. J," the tycoon replied. "I really appreciate it."

The next day, the tycoon arrived at Banwa Island with a few close friends and loved ones. The tycoon and his companions arrived on the island of Banwa through a private helicopter ride from Manila. As they descended onto the island, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of pristine white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and lush tropical forests.

They were escorted to their villa, which was situated on the top of the highest point on the island. From there, they had a breathtaking view of the ocean and the lush greenery surrounding them. The villa was exquisitely designed with luxurious amenities that were carefully chosen to provide maximum comfort.

The group spent their days lounging by the private pool, enjoying the warm sun and the cool ocean breeze. They indulged in delicious food and drinks, prepared by the talented chefs at the resort. They also explored the island, taking in the serene natural beauty and enjoying the various activities available, such as snorkeling, diving, and kayaking.

Each evening, they watched the sunset from the comfort of their villa, sipping champagne and enjoying the peacefulness of the island. They couldn't help but feel rejuvenated and relaxed after their stay on Banwa Island, a true paradise on Earth.

February 28, 2033, 7:30 PM - Banwa Private Island, Roxas, Palawan, Philippines

As the night fell, the tycoon sauntered along the beach, the soothing sound of waves serenading his steps. In the distance, he saw a figure, one he knew all too well, standing alone, gazing out into the vast ocean. His heart swelled with love and adoration as he approached her.

"Hey, you doing okay?" he asked, his voice laced with affection.

Her face lit up at the sight of him, "I am, now that you're here," she replied, her eyes twinkling with joy.

"Are you enjoying the vacation?" he asked, taking her hand in his and lacing their fingers together.

"It's been a dream come true. Everything has been perfect, especially being here with you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Thank you for being with me all these years, through thick and thin," he said, his tone becoming more serious.

She could sense his change of mood and teased him, "Oh no, you're not getting all sentimental on me, are you?"

He took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving hers, "I realized that you are the missing piece in my life puzzle, and I want to spend the rest of my life making every moment with you as perfect as this one. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

As he knelt down on one knee, he produced a small box from his pocket. Inside was the most breathtaking diamond ring, shining like stars in the night sky.

The woman's eyes widened, and tears of joy streamed down her face, "Yes, yes, a million times yes."

As they embraced, the tycoon felt the weight of the world lift off his shoulders. Above them, helicopters flew in the sky, showering them with fragrant rose petals. The night sky came alive with fireworks, their explosion of colors illuminating the couple's surroundings.

Their loved ones approached them, each carrying a bouquet of exotic flowers and bottles of the most expensive champagne and wine. They all joined in the couple's celebration, toasting and cheering long into the night, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
