"Mateo, will you marry me someday?" 8-year-old Cheryl stretched out her hand, asking Mateo to keep holding her hand as they walked into the church.

Occasionally, her hand reached out to touch the flowers on both sides of the path that would lead them to the main door of the church. She wanted to pick the flowers and put them in her pocket as she usually did, but she quickly abandoned her idea when she saw the dress she was wearing. Today, she wore a white dress, so she didn't want to soil the beautiful dress by storing flowers in her pocket.

"No! Why would I marry you? I'm your big brother, Cheryl!" Mateo held her hand, walking ahead of their parents, who were still busy behind them.

Cheryl looked up, staring at Mateo, who was much taller than her. "Why?" She pouted.

Mateo rolled his eyes. "No one wants to marry their own sister. I'm going to find a beautiful girlfriend and marry her."

"Why? Are you going to leave me?" She almost cried at the thought of Mateo leaving her.

    "Do you need more wine, Honey?" A Latin woman in a low-cut red dress approached, sitting on Rafael's lap as he started to lose consciousness from the alcohol.The thumping sound of loud music still filled the air in the crowded place. However, Rafael felt empty. Silent and so quiet. He was alone, unsure of what to do after seeing Cheryl bleeding and unconscious.Rafael observed the woman closely—green eyes, sweet red lips that smiled, and a seductive figure. Oh goodness... her eyes were green."Are you here?" Rafael mumbled softly. He laughed, extending his hand to pull that woman's body closer. He laid his head against her chest, leaning as if confirming that he was tired and weary. His body might appear strong and sturdy, but his heart was fragile.Rafael closed his eyes slightly. He was enjoying their closeness. Feeling her heartbeat against his chest.It felt like he wanted to ask God so that their heartbeats could always be in the same rhythm.

    Cheryl could see the surprise on Beatrice's face as she watched Mateo stepping out of Alejandro's helicopter that had just landed in the farmhouse yard. Alfonso hurriedly made his way out, that old man looking taken aback by the commotion of the helicopter's rotor blades."I'm leaving, Grandpa. Thank you for allowing me to stay here," Cheryl offered a brief smile as she approached Alfonso."Leaving?" Alfonso's eyes widened. "You're going back to Manhattan?"Cheryl nodded slowly. She briefly glanced at Beatrice, who let out a short snort, then walked away from her—disappearing behind the tightly closed door of the house."Why did you come home suddenly, Dear? I thought you were going to stay here for a few more days."Cheryl bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears as she remembered that she had spent this past week in vain."I'm getting married. I hope you can come to Manhattan for my wedding," she murmured."You have invited me before, and I told you I'll be praying for you,"

    "Where are you going, clever boy? Isn't your head still spinning?" Catalina panicked as she saw Rafael stumbling out of her mansion. "I have important business to attend to. I'll be back later, Mom," Rafael replied, glancing back before quickly walking away. Accidentally, his right hand bumped into a green emerald ceramic vase in the room's corner. The sound of shattered ceramics immediately filled the room. Rafael jumped in surprise, and Catalina, now glaring angrily at him, turned her eyes away as if she were a dragon about to breathe fire. Rafael swallowed hard. Just a few months ago, Catalina had proudly displayed that $2,8 million vase after winning it at an auction in Italy. Oh boy, he was in big trouble. "My clever child, why did you destroy my house?!" the woman screamed hysterically. "I'm sorry, Mom. I'll replace your green vase later!" Rafael hurriedly walked away. "I don't need that green vase! Bring me a green-eyed daughter-in-law!" she shouted from afar. Rafael chuc

    Less than an hour later, Cheryl sat facing Carlos, who held her hand tightly. She wiped her tears once again, looking at Carlos with a deep sense of guilt."Forgive me," She took a deep breath."You've said that more than ten times, Cheryl," Carlos smiled briefly. "Aren't I fine? It's just a minor injury. It doesn't compare to the happiness I felt when I learned you were coming back here a week before our wedding."She bit her lower lip. A week... they would be getting married in a week, but she had caused Carlos an accident.Her feelings were in turmoil again, and she didn't know what to do. Should she hurt Carlos by doubting him?

Carlos waved his hand in front of her face."Yes? What's up?" She blinked in confusion, looking at him with a little bit of surprise."They asked about the flowers and table decorations," He pointed to two men in charge of decorating their wedding reception hall. "Are they according to your wishes?"She turned her head, looking at the main table that would be occupied by the bride and groom and both families during the reception. Typically, in the middle of the event, there would be speeches from family and close friends."Beautiful," She commented briefly."Is there anything missing, Miss? We can change the design if you prefer different flowers. Most brides choose red ros

She couldn't stop her tears, especially when she realized she was now in Carlos's arms."Why did it have to happen?" she muttered in a heartbreaking voice."Relax, you don't need to think about anything.

    There's one thing Cheryl learned as an Alejandro—she doesn't give up easily, and she doesn't forgive easily. She has big ambitions, and she has the courage to do whatever she wants. Just like her decision to stay with Carlos because she believed she loved him—although she didn't. She didn't love him, but she felt owed to Carlos, so she forced herself to believe that she loved him.But now, things have changed. She is no longer just an Alejandro; she's also a Wagner. So, there's no reason for her to be afraid."I found this data three days ago, but everything is still unclear," Beatrice showed a long analysis dataset.Cheryl furrowed her brows, reading the data on Beatrice's iPad and trying to understand a confusing family tree diagram of Wagner’s family. It starts from the ancestors of the Wagner family and goes down to Rafael. Even her name was in the data.

The words spoken by Beatrice and Mateo kept replaying in her mind, adding to her torment—making her suffer even more.Every breath, every heartbeat, and even every passing second felt increasingly painful when she knew the cause of Rafael's accident. It was her. She was the cause. Rafael left because of her. It was all her fault. Everyone was crying and suffering because of her.Rafael's presence had been like a miracle to her. But, on the contrary, she had become the source of his suffering.With her weak body and pale face, she walked to the edge of the rooftop. Every memory they had spent in this place played in her mind.

    "I will announce Rafael's death one week from now," Ares' firm voice shattered the silence in the dining room.Everyone froze, staring at Ares with bated breath, except for one person: Cheryl."How dare you?! Don't you dare announce anything other than good news when Rafael returns," Catalina retorted with a sharp gaze."What do you expect? We can't keep waiting. How long will we be like this? Didn't we already release the flowers into the sea two days ago? Isn't that enough for you?" Ares responded."There's still a chance he's alive! I don't care about flowers or anything you say. I don't even care about your concerns for your company heir. But don't you dare announce my son's death!" Catalina's breath raced as she stared at Ares with a palpable gaze.

    Days passed in a blur. One day after hearing the news about Rafael's plane, Cheryl fell ill. She had a fever, and her condition didn't get better even after a week had passed. And during that time, there was not a single word about Rafael. His plane, his whereabouts, and even how he was doing. Everything still seemed vague. There was no certainty whatsoever. There was no trace as if his plane had simply disappeared.Almost all the news on TV, the internet, and newspapers was filled with the news of the crash of Europe WGR's heir. Everyone was curious about the accident, and some of them even predicted that Rafael's plane had crashed due to bad weather. Therefore, three days ago, the search was carried out by combing the sea area to find clues about his whereabouts.In contrast to them, Cheryl hoped that the wreck of Rafael's plane was not found. The plane didn't crash. Rafael was alive, breathing and fine. He was on the other side of the world, and he would only take a little while to

    Cheryl stared at the food in front of her with an annoyed look. It had been almost three hours since she had sat alone at the table, but Rafael had not arrived.Their last conversation was five hours ago when she had just finished training with Theodore. Now, all her cooking was done, beautifully arranged on the table, while her fingers were covered with plaster cuts from holding the knife. She had done all this for Rafael, to welcome him home like any other wife would. However, he did not come. Even their communication devices have been disconnected since she turned them off a few hours ago.Gosh, she regretted turning that thing off. Rafael must have been upset with her, so he turned off their phone connection."Rafael,"There was no answer.Cheryl exhaled in annoyance."You're late, and I'm really mad at you."Even though she knew that Rafael did not hear her voice, she kept talking— babbling like crazy."I won't forgive you.

    "Who sent you?!" The shout echoed through the Dominggos family mansion located in Canada.Carlos Dominggos stared angrily at the crowd of bodyguards pointing guns at him. Meanwhile, hundreds of Dominggos family bodyguards had been taken down outside his room. Some of them were lying helplessly on the floor."Answer me! Is it that damn Rafael?! Or maybe Ares Wagner?!" He shouted again. Despite his anger, he kept his hands behind his head—just as he had done to the ElWagner agents surrounding him. There was no choice. He was now trapped inside his mansion while ElWagner carried out a massive massacre of his bodyguards, killing them and turning his mansion into a horrible pool of blood.Silence. No one made a sound until an approaching footstep broke the silence in the room. "More precisely, the leader of ElWagner—Rafael Wagner." Rafael greeted while walking with a sharp gaze.

Can't you take the end of the year off to spend time with her?"Rafael turned his head, then smiled briefly at her, "I'll go straight home tomorrow. After that, I won't be working again until early next year. Are you happy, Princess?""Can I come to Canada?"Rafael frowned, "Don't you have an event with Mommy Carissa today?
