2021-09-07 11:57:20Siena never expected that the third clue would bring them to her birthplace.
“Gotemba isn’t just the birth city of my Mom, but me also,” she said in a low voice.
“What’s wrong? You’re supposed to be happy. We’re going to Japan, your country of origin,” Alfonso stated.
“Yes, it just… I have nobody left there. My grandfather and grandmother have passed away. My Mom and I have left the city for so long, almost fourteen years ago.”
“It was your birthplace after all. There must be so many memories.”
Siena fell silent. There were indeed so many memories in Gotemba city, the sweet and the bad ones.
“But what are we looking for? Seeing the previous two assets we’ve visited, Grandpa must have left something like a hotel or resort.”

“It’s beautiful,” was Siena’s first remark when she stood in front of Sakura Hotel. She had flown almost seventeen hours from Los Angeles and didn’t sleep well in the plane, feeling jet-lag. Somehow all her tiredness just disappeared when she saw the hotel built by Adalfo in her birthplace, even named after her own mother. It was a traditional Japanese style building with round windows, and the materials dominated by woods. The building didn’t stand tall, but stretched wide. It was absolutely not a modern hotel as she thought at first, but more like a guesthouse looking comfortable and peaceful. Moreover it was located not in a crowded place, but in a beautiful village near Mount Fuji. “Konnichiwa…. Welcome to Sakura Hotel!” a young girl wearing brown kimono greeted them respectfully from behind the reception desk. She was a local girl from her look, but she spoke English quite well.

Alfonso could not hide his surprise upon hearing Siena’s confession. Back then, when he was trying to find Siena’s mistake to threaten her, he had searched information about her family and her past. But he couldn’t find much. The most curious thing about Siena was her father. Alfonso couldn’t find any information about the man. Siena didn’t even use her father’s surname, but use her mother’s surname of Mori instead. It was quite common in USA though, regarding the fact that many children were born from unmarried couples, or a single mother who chose to raise her child by herself. Eventually, he could only assume that Siena’s mother might have divorced with her husband in Japan before she moved to Los Angeles. Somehow at this moment, Siena made an honest confession about her past. “My Mom was in her second year of college. She was an active member of an international organization. The organization use

“That was so evil! How dare they do that! They had no right to send you away!” Alfonso roared in anger upon hearing Siena’s story. “It was all in the past! It had nothing to do with them! Tell them to mind their own business!” His tone was getting higher. “Let it be, Alf…. I’ve told you. That’s the fact I must deal with since I was born here.” Bitterness was clear in her voice. Alfonso could see Siena was holding herself from bursting into tears. Rage filled his chest at once. How could the people in her neighborhood treat her so wicked? Disgracing her, humiliating her, as if their lifes were better than hers. Everyone did mistakes in their life, who didn’t? Even when they had arrived at Sakura Hotel, Alfonso was still fuming with anger seeing Siena’s troubled face. “Hey, let’s order something delicious!” he spoke all of a sudden. “It’s time for dinner.

SPLASH!“Cherry!”Alfonso shouted in panic seeing Siena’s body fell into the pool with her head facing down. Hurriedly he jumped into the pool with his clothes on, and pulled her body into his arms. Then he turned her head up and checked her breath.“Good Lord, Cherry! You want to kill yourself?!” Even his voice was shaking.Siena was unconscious, her eyes shut, but she was still breathing. Alfonso sighed in relief. There was no point of getting angry right now, she couldn’t respond anyway. He carried her body up from the pool. They were both soaked, water dripped from their bodies to the floor.“What kind of moron put a pool next to a bedroom?!” he rebuked. “How reckless! I’ll punish all the staff of this hotel tomorrow!”Alfonso cursed again. This time he really had to take Sien

‘Stop!’Siena shouted inside her head, telling her body to stop reacting, but her body comply no more with her thought. Her body chose to respond the pleasure of temptation offered by Alfonso’s lips. She whimpered, her breath hitched, her skin tingled with a hot burning sensation under his kiss. Gosh! Why didn’t her body listen to her mind?Alfonso couldn’t help but smile at Siena’s reaction. Her eyes were still shut, but obviously she enjoyed his kiss and his touch. It made him determined to seduce her even more. He kept pressing his lips on her bare neck, his fingers slipped under her blouse, caressing her belly. His lips travelled up to her jawline, kissing and licking with his tongue.“You like it, Cherry?” he whispered in her ear.Siena was almost breathless because of Alfonso’s ‘attack’. She opened her mouth to take

Alfonso and Siena were sitting in the same dining room as last night, enjoying their breakfast. Only this time, fewer dishes were served and without sake. Ugh! Siena felt her head started to throb again every time she thought of sake! Because of that darn liquor, she did the craziest thing last night and this morning with Alfonso!Her eyes glanced at Alfonso sitting opposite of her. He seemed to be enjoying his bowl of gyudon while sipping hot ocha in between.‘So annoying…! How on earth he can be so relaxed, as if nothing is happening?’ she cursed inwardly.How could she not be annoyed? Her heart was still drumming wildly recalling the intimacy they had in bed. She could vividly remember the warmth and softness of his touch on her skin. Even the taste of his lips still lingered on her lips! This morning, she had spent more time in the bathroom just to

Alfonso got silent for a moment upon hearing Siena’s words. Deep down, he really wished she was right, but he might be just too stubborn to admit it. Stubbornness and big ego, those were the source of problem in his family. His character wasn’t that different from his father’s and his grandfather’s character. They were just too proud of themselves to admit their true feelings.Things were different with Siena. She was always honest and straightforward in expressing her feelings. Only to her could Alfonso tell the truth about his past. Why? Maybe because he felt comfortable, and Siena seemed to care about his problems. Or maybe because she already had a special place in his heart....“Thanks, Cherry…. I wish you’re right. But I was also serious of what I said. I can see now, why my Grandfather was so close to you and your mother. We share almost the same story. We both lost our beloved

Alfonso and Siena stepped out of Siena’s childhood house holding hands. Siena’s heart warmed inside as she recalled Alfonso’s words. He said he wanted to start anew, and even asked her to stay by his side. Did he just ask her to become his lover? The thought of it brought butterfly to her stomach, and her heart kept beating wildly inside her chest. Really, what was wrong with her?They made their way to the car waiting outside. Alfonso turned his head around as if looking for something, before he stepped into the car.“Strange…,” he mumbled, turning back once again through the back seat window.“What is it?” Siena asked in confusion.“That car is following us.” He pointed a white SUV car parked several miles behind their car. “Since we left Sakura Hotel, I had the feeling we were being tailed by that car.”&

All the guests were applauding and cheering for them.Everything ran according to Siena’s wish on her very special day. She did not wish for a luxurious party, expensive gifts, or fancy wedding dress like a Disney princess. All she wanted was to exchange their wedding vows faithfully and to have the people she loved around her.Once the wedding ceremony was over, Alfonso and Siena got hugs and kisses from Stefano, Carlo, as well as Irina who came all the way from Melbourne.

Alfonso entered the bedroom with his face shining. Siena had changed into her nightgown and sat with her head leaning on the headboard. She turned her gaze at him instantly.“You look happy…. It seems like I don’t have to worry about anything you talked with Dad,” Siena said.Alfonso showed a wide grin on his face. “I have just got a Dad today.”Siena gasped. “Is that true? Dad has asked you to call him Dad?”Alfonso answered with a nod. “Yup!”“Oh, Alf, I’m so happy to hear that!” She opened her arms wide to hug Alfonso.Alfonso took a seat next to her and held her tight. “I can’t imagine I have a complete family now.

For Alfonso, today had to be one of the most special days in his entire life. He had lost Siena for more than three months, struggling to survive with his broken heart, even enduring his life as if a zombie, his body was alive but his mind and his soul was empty.Those miserable days had passed. Now Siena returned to him. Even more than he dared to imagine, he got Siena back together with their unborn baby!“Don’t you want to eat, Cherry? I haven’t seen you eat anything tonight,” Alfonso spoke, looking worried.Tonight, their engagement party took place in the spacious back yard of the house. De Martini was a renowned and very important noble family in Siena City. No wonder the guests just kept on coming.Alfonso insisted that Siena sit on the sofa inside the gazebo throughout the party. He did not want her

“Good day, Mister Stefano.” Alfonso decided to greet first. “Carlo, Damien….” He nodded to the three of them.Stefano’s gaze fell on Alfonso’s and Siena’s hands holding each other. “Siena, you scared us to death. Did Alfonso hurt you?” Clearly Stefano ignored Alfonso’s greeting on purpose.“No, Dad. Alfonso will never hurt me,” Siena gave a quick reply. “Dad, please let us explain everything.”“I believe everything is as clear as crystal for me. You choose to hurt the heart of a very good man like Damien only to return to a man who has obviously hurt you before,” Stefano retorted in a stern voice.“Dad, it’s my mistake. Alfonso has never hurt me. I knew he had nothing to do with Gloria’s problem, but when he came

It took a moment for Alfonso’s words to sink in Siena’s mind. But all she could do was staring at him with her eyes wide opened and her jaw fell to the floor.“I beg you please don’t marry Damien. I want you to be mine only. Marry me, Cherry…,” Alfonso said it loud and clear, the words warming her heart.“Alf….”“Yes, Cherry?”“Did you realize you just asked me to marry you? In a locked garage where you have just kidnapped me right on the day I’m supposed to get engaged to Damien?”Alfonso seemed to ponder for a moment. “Well…, I could have done something more insane if you want me to. I could appear out of nowhere at your house and shout loudly to prevent Damien from putting the engagement ring on y

“You look as pretty as a picture, Siena,” said Viola, a woman around her forties who was Siena’s make-up artist today.Right now Siena was having her beauty treatment in a professional salon before her engagement party. At first she planned to do her own make-up, but Carlo insisted that she had to look special on this very special day.So she reluctantly went to the salon with Pino driving her here, while Stefano, Carlo, and Damien were preparing for tonight’s party in her house.“Don’t you think… it’s too much for me?” Siena hesitated as she saw her reflection in the mirror, since she never liked overdone make-up and preferred natural one.“Absolutely not. Your make-up is perfect for a very special occasion,” Viola convinced her with a smile.&

As Alfonso drove his car entering the front yard of his house, he felt suspicious seeing a white limousine car was parked at the public garden locating right across the house. Not many people would feel convenient to drive a limousine everywhere since it attracted too much attention. Who was the owner of the car, a Hollywood celebrity looking for attention on purpose?Alfonso strode into the house and came to a halt immediately as he scented an odd smell, the smell that reminded him of something familiar.He hurried his steps, his eyes searching everywhere until he finally saw what he had suspected before. Carlo was sitting in the family room of his house smoking cigar!“I believe it’s time for me to hire some bodyguards to keep my house safe. What do you think you are doing, barging into my house at your pleasure?” Alfonso sounded irritated.

How are you and your baby doing?” Alfonso asked in return, standing in front of them.“We are good, though I feel I’m getting heavier day by day,” Gloria said and tittered at her own joke.“I think you seem more like a fashionable pregnant woman, Gloria,” Alfonso praised, but he glanced over at Brian.He said it only to give his support to Gloria without any intention to flatter. But he knew how possessive Brian could be. And he guessed it right, Brian’s expression cha
