2024-10-29 19:42:56"Your mom called me last night. She told me you weren't home so she assumed you stayed here." He said in his baritone voice.
We're inside his room. If I was enjoying my stay here before, now I don't anymore 'cause I remember every single detail happened in this room. From my very first time to step in and the last time I got here.
I remained quite instead of talking nonsense towards him. I believe he knows me better than anyone could. He knows when I'm mad, he knows when I'm happy to be with him.
"Raphaela-" he called out with his warning voice.
"I want to go home." I cut him off in my cold voice and tears pooled over my eyes.
I still remember what had happened last night. In front of everyone, he told Ria he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, so as the girl to him.
And yes, they all made me realize how awful I was... how desperate to own Royal's heart. He made

I just realized that in order to get rid from any heartaches, you should know how to remote yourself from people who have the potential in breaking you down. You should know how to place yourself. Know your limitations, know your worth from people you care too much. Just because you love them, it doesn't mean you'll allow them to oppress you. It doesn't mean you will forever do things according to their will and satisfactions. That's what I have learned from my experiences. I may not be the best person anyone had met, but I know I tried my best to prove to them that I'm worth having for. But maybe it wasn't good enough, I'm still not enough 'cause in the first place, I'm not the right person they've been looking for. For my first year in Italy, I learned how to value myself. And I have realized that maybe the reason why they can't treasure me is because I don't even know how to value myself. I learned that you live not to impress but to

"So, tell me about your story." He started, propping his left elbow on the table while his right hand is holding a cup of tea."What story?" I furrowed my brows and copied his position.He chortled softly as he placed his cup on the table."You're always like that." He commented between a laugh. "I haven't heard about you for awhile. Care to tell me a story?"We're inside a coffee shop, taking some good times for ourselves. It's been awhile since the last time I saw him. Right after we graduated, he took the chance of running his dad's corporation while I gave myself enough time to ponder. I have traveled the rest of Italy to get some inspirations of my masterpiece."It's boring. You know my life isn't adventurous." I rolled my eyes in torpor while he chuckled at my response."Really? But you traveled the rest of Italy. What can you say about it?"I grimac

"Take care, Alpha." Grandma said as she held my shoulder."I will, la." I smiled bitterly. "I'm gonna miss you."We're now in the private airport of De Luca Corporation. Their private plane is waiting for us. Harffiel, in the other hand, stood beside me."I'm gonna miss you too, sweetheart." She said heartily then turned to Harffiel. "Do take care of my grandchild, alright?""La," I whined like a baby but she just chuckled at my reaction."I will, Mrs. Marcos." Harffiel said with his sexy deep voice."Good." Grandma nodded then turned to me. "Enjoy your stay there, alright?""I'm not staying, la." I announced. "I will just visit mom. It's been awhile since the last time I saw her.""I know. But who knows you'll love to stay there, right?""No way." I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, we have to go so soon, la.

"I-It's you... Alpha." He mentioned the obvious and I looked away from him. I turned to mom who's lying sick on her bed."Mom." I called out in a whisper and walked towards her. "Is she okay?" I asked him while checking mom."Y-Yeah," he stammered and I turned to him. I caught how he gulped once as his breathing ragged."What happened to her? I don't know she's sick.""It's just a mild migraine. She passed out during the meeting.""But why? I don't know her condition.""Who would know if you're far away from her?" He scoffed and I knotted my brows together as I glared at him."Are you insulting me?" I gritted my teeth and his lips curled into a mischievous smile."Not yet." He replied arrogantly and leaned on his chair, crossing his arms in front. "So? How was Italy?"I clenched my jaw in frustration. I was about to answer

The following morning, I woke up early to have a jog. And when I went back to my house, I saw Harffiel sitting on the couch while reading a broadsheet."Good morning!" I greeted joyfully and he turned to me in surprise but immediately recovered and he smiled sweetly."Good morning, wife." He teased."Sounds gross." I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him as I walked towards the kitchen."Isn't it?" I heard his voice and footsteps followed."Are you hungry? I will cook breakfast for us." I presented, looking for some foods inside the fridge."No need." He demurred. "I can do it by myself."I scrunched my brows as I faced him."You sure?" I asked."Yup." He nodded. I can feel overwhelming confidence in his voice."Okay. I'll just take my shower. I'll be right back, alright?""Yeah, sure. Take ti

"You can step back if you're not comfortable with me." Royal coldly said as we're walking down the hall."Do I have a choice?" I mocked and he stopped then turned around to glare at me, making me take aback."I just told you, didn't I?" He cocked his left brow at me, so did I, trying to compete with his glare.Show to him how strong you are, Alraine Raphaela Marcos. Show to him that you weren't hurt at all.He narrowed his eyes on me."If only you're not pregnant, I should have carried you up and down." He disputed and I can see a playful smile on his deep coffee eyes."Then do it." I challenged, taking a deep breath while chinning up.His lips curl into an amused smile and I remain still, though my heart is hammering and my feet want to run away."You might regret it." He said in a smirk and I smirked back.We ended our a

"You didn't tell us you're coming home, Alpha." Aunt Graciana muttered.We're in the midst of our dinner. Aunt Graciana invited us to join their meal. I refused at first 'cause I told them I won't be long but she insisted and I had no choice but to nod in approval. Harffiel might wonder what's taking us so long to go back."I'm sorry, Aunt. My come back isn't really planned." I explained and I turned to Royal who's watching me already.Mrs. Mocetti and her husband sat across us, Throne got the center seat while I sat beside Royal."Mm." She nodded, chewing her food. Her eyes are on her plate. "How's your mom, anyway?" Then she shifted her eyes on me."She's fine." I smiled. "She's stable and by tomorrow, she's ready to be discharged.""She's lucky she survived. I mean, don't get me wrong. Your mom is really stubborn. I kept on telling her she should relax."

The following morning, mom was discharged from hospital. We payed bills and we went home instead of going somewhere. I told mom to get some rest because she badly needs it."You need to rest, mom. You can start your work tomorrow." I insisted and she sighed in resignation."Okay, sweetheart. You too.""I will, mom." I said and smiled.I'm happy and content that mom and I are in good terms. Hence, I can't ask for more but to have a good relationship with her, and also with dad. I'm not hoping they will ask forgiveness from me 'cause this is more than enough. Besides, I have forgiven them. And I believe there's no reason to abhor them."I hope you'll stay longer here, Mr. De Marco." Mom said.We're taking our lunch together. Harffiel and I sit beside each other while mom and dad sit across from us."It depends, Mrs. Marcos. If dad won't mind it." Harffiel hu

Few days after that, Royal and I decided to fly back to Italy. He was the one who suggested me this. It might help me heal emotionally and mentally."I'm sorry I have to drag you in this kind of trouble," I said to Royal apologetically. "This is not what I want.""Shsh," he interrupted me, placing his index finger on my lips. "We don't want this but we have to do this. This is for your sake.""I hope they will forgive me for doing this.""If they really love you they will understand. Let them realize that."I felt sorry for not choosing my mother but at the same time, I can't do what she wants me to do. I am not happy. I am not happy without Royal.We visited my grandmother and told her everything. She got mad at her daughter but she also understood her. She said it was for my sake but it's not right that she is against my relationship with Royal."I'll just prepare our meal, baby," Royal told me and kissed my cheeks before he went to

I was done with my fourth masterpiece. I did it for two weeks because I had to define every detail of it. I made sure I didn't rush it."The Mocetti-Venturi will be launching their new businessline this week. We should be there, Alpha," Mom told me."Yes, Mom," I replied.I lost all my hope when Ria asked me to let go of Royal. I felt how broken she was, so desperate to plead me. No one has ever done it to me."When do you want to launch your exhibit? Do you like us to launch it online too?""Sounds good to me, Mom. Whatever you think is good.""Okay," she smiled sweetly. "I'll take care of everything.""Thank you, Mom."In most probable case, Mocetti-Venturi will be there too. As much as I don't want to see them, Mom will invite them anyway.After that, I told Mom I'll just have my coffee on my favorite shop. I went there alone, looking for some inspiration.I ordered tall Caramel Macchiato. Lately I can finish t

"O-Ouch," I grunted when the cold ice pierced through my face.I received two slaps from Mom and it created a handmark on my face. It was painful like a burnt skin."What happened, Alpha?" Nanny asked as she gently tapped the cold compress on my skin."Mom found out I am in a relationship with Royal.""Really?" She sounded surprised.I nodded. "That's why she's so mad upon discovering it. Royal and I had a fight and Mom saw us. She snatched me from Royal.""Oh dear," she whispered worriedly."Mom said she will send me back to my grandmother. Please help me, Nanny.""What shall I do with that? What can I help?""Tell Royal to wait for me. Escaping from this house seems impossible right now. I'd probably lose everything.""Royal trusts you, Alpha. For sure he will understand the situation."

My phone kept ringing. They were probably looking for me. I didn't know where was I but I felt safe here. I didn't want to see them. "Excuse me?" I looked up and saw a stranger in front of me. Just like Riley, he was also wearing a tux, a formal attire to be exact. He looked like he was attending a wedding tonight. "Yes?" I replied. I tried my best to sound fine. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt what were you doing here but this place isn't good for you, lady. It's cold here." "I know... but please just let me stay here." He removed his coat and wrapped it around my shoulder. He was so kind but I didn't know who he was. "What's your name, lady?" He asked. "Alpha," "I'm James." He offered me his hand for a shake. I accepted his big hand and shook mine with his. It was only a couple of seconds

"Did you find your friends here?" Mom asked as I went back to our table. "No, Mom, but I met a Venturi." "Really? Who was that?" "It's Jude Venturi." "Oh," her lips formed in O shape. "That young man. Was he nice to you?" "Yes, Mom. He told me Riley is his cousin." "Yes, dear. And what else? Did he invite for a dance? A chitchat?" I chuckled. She must be problematic. "Nah, ain't interested." Half an hour passed when my parents excused themselves. They wanted to greet some Mr. Venturi's friends. I was left alone in table. I sighed under my breath. I suddenly felt the urge to go home. This party was petty. I wasn't enjoying. If it's not because of my parents, I certainly wouldn't be here. "Alpha?" A voice of a man called me from behind. I quickly turned around to see who was that.

After a month of medication, Mom finally recovered. I was thankful to God that He didn't take my mother away from me yet. I would still have longer time to be with her. "Mr. Venturi asks us to join to his party tonight," Mom said while we were having our meal. "What party, Mom?" I asked while chewing my food with my mouth closed. "His birthday party, sweety. You know, we're friends with that old man." "We will join the party?" I asked again, as if I hadn't figured out her meaning. "Definitely we will, Alpha. I want to introduce you to the Venturi and our other business partners." "It's the perfect time to let them know that you're having your exhibit again," Dad butted in with a smile, which Mom agreed with. "Does it sound good?" I hesitated to agree with Dad. Exhibit alone sounded good but to meet Ria again was another story. I didn't want to see her again. Not yet. Now that I knew she was still into Royal. "Do you hav

One week passed and I finally finished my first artwork. I was utterly satisfied by what my hands and mind had done."This is so beautiful, Alpha," Nanny praised as she studied my masterpiece. "I haven't seen any forest like this."It was a magical forest with a lot of fireflies. There was a lake between the forest where the lights reflected on it. In the middle of the lake was a ripple caused by a firefly. And just above the trees was the moon casting its own light against the water."Thank you so much, Nanny.""What's your inspiration to this?""My own imagination, Nanny. I dreamt of myself running here whenever I am hurt. This is my escapism."She looked at me with pity. I couldn't blame her. She knew my pain. She knew what I went through."But sometimes running away isn't the solution to every problem, Alpha. You have to face it. Conquer it. Show to the world that you are not weak. You are not damaged."I smiled weakly. At

The doorbell rang. I hurriedly run towards the main door and opened it. I saw Royal standing beautifully on the front door. I smiled and waved excitedly at him."Hi!" I greeted with a big smile on my face."Hey," he smiled too and my heart melted.I stepped forward, straining myself to touch him."Wanna go inside?" I asked, pointing my thumb behind me."Yeah, sure."I pursed my lips and whirled around. I took a deep breath and relaxed myself.As I went back inside the house, Nanny welcomed me. She looked over my shoulder then smiled."Good day to you, Royal," she greeted with a smile."Same to you, Nanny. I just want to check Alpha if she's doing okay.""Oh," Nanny shifted her eyes to me. "Well, that's good." She turned to Royal again. "You're on time. She needs some help."Silence followe

I became busy as I had planned I would be. I bought my art materials and Nanny helped me to put all of them on my room. I decided to occupy and turn my room into my working place. I definitely loved it."Here's your milk, Alpha. Don't forget to feed yourself even if you are busy," Nanny advised me as she gave me a glass of milk with cookies on a clean plate."Thank you so much, Nanny. It's almost lunch. I forgot what time is it."I was enjoying mixing different colors to get the desired result. Time flew so fast when I was occupied."Yes, and you almost starve yourself to death."I smiled at her. She was right. But when I was busy, I tend to forget about my appetite."But thank you for reminding me that it's time to eat, Nanny. You're my alarm clock." I giggled.It was true. If it wasn't because of her, I would probably have a problem with my stomach."You're welcome, Alpha. Anything for you."When Nanny left, I continue
