Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov

“Asper?”

I turned my head to Miracle as she called my name.

She was frowning her forehead and her eyes widened as she saw me sitting beside the cashier at the counter of SweetHeart. “What the hell are you doing here?” She immediately came to me and put her things on the counter. “You didn’t mention earlier that you are going to drop by.”

I sighed. “I just want to drink this.” I showed her the iced coffee that I made earlier.

She narrowed her eyes at me and sighed. “Don’t fool me, Asper. Staying here is the last thing that would come to your mind. Not unless you are avoiding someone in your house.”

I averted my eyes away from her.

Well, she is right. I don’t really drop by here to get this. I can just ask her or one of our employees to deliver some to my house if I really want to have some of this.

I am aware that my presence here would distract my employees and she knows that I don’t want that to happen. Especially when things are busy due to the sudden rise o

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovSince I want to limit my encounter with Jyn every day, I decided to spend more time at SweetHeart. I helped there and did my job as its head pastry chef and owner since that was the normal thing to do.I am still cooking for them but only for their breakfast and at night for their dinner.But I stopped joining them in dining.I told them that I want to focus on managing the SweetHeart myself because Miracle has done a lot for it. I want to give her more time to take care of her life instead of continuing to take care of me.And I don’t want to become one of the reasons why he can’t deal with fixing her second chance with Rajiv.But of course, I am still spending enough time with Jyn to ensure that they won’t suspect that I am avoiding him. I am still sweet to him and close to him just like what we were before.I tried my best to let him feel that nothing had changed between us, even though we kissed each other.“Why don’t you just admit to him that you love hi

    Miracle Ryedale Azaria’s PovIt has been years since the last time I set foot inside this place where my parents live their lives. Ah, it has been that long, huh?But why do I feel like everything only happened yesterday? Why does it feel like I only left this place yesterday to become the shadow of my family and work hard to protect them so that I don’t have to come back here?And just like before, I never really like the feeling I get whenever I am here.Yes, the whole Azaria clan are living here but that doesn't mean we treated each other here as family, especially when we were in front of someone outside the clan.We only felt like they were our family when we were still a child but as we grew older, things started to change and their affection started to fade away.They started to get cold with us, become more strict, and stop showing us love until they started to do things that would control our lives.“I didn’t expect that you would be home early.”I stopped walking when I hear

    Rajiv Fleisko’s Pov“Hey…” I waved my hand as soon as I saw Miracle exiting the gate of the palace.We came here almost at the same time but I didn’t stop her from entering the palace and let her do what she wanted because I knew that what she was about to do was something important to her.Her eyes widened when she saw me and immediately ran towards me. “W-what are you doing here?”“Asper worried about you so she wanted me to follow and stop you from what you are trying to do,” I explained. “But I know you are trying to do your job so I just decided to wait for you here.”She held my arms and looked around. “You know you are not supposed to be here.”I raised my eyebrows. “And why is that?” I asked. “I am not the same way as I was before. They cannot corner me again like what they did to me.”“But you know my parents, Raj,” she said. “We are still fixing everything between us. I am still dealing with them regarding Asper’s case. I don’t want them to get involved in our relationship a

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovI felt slightly relieved when I saw Miracle enter my house. But there was still a bit of anxiety in my heart that tells me, whatever she did has something in return.I ran towards her and held her shoulders. “What happened? Where did you go?”“Asper…” She took off my hands on my shoulder and brushed my hair. “Sorry for making you worry but I handle everything very carefully. So, please calm down, okay?”“But…” I was about to complain but she didn’t give me a chance. She grabbed my hand and pulled me to my kitchen.“Please cook something for me, Asper,” she said. “We have a lot of things to do and I am hungry after a long ride.”I stared at her.There was a hint of happiness in her eyes but I can also see her that she is worried about something else. Plus, the tiredness she got from driving to where she went.She sighed. “I will explain everything to you, okay?” she said. “Just let me eat while we are talking, okay?”I scratched my head and sighed. “Fine.” I st

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovIt has been days since Miracle revealed her identity to me. And since then, we haven’t seen each other or even talked again.She asked Pruska to come to my house to pick up the items that needed to be delivered and she never even set her foot back at SweetHeart again.I know what she was up to because she also revealed to me what she has to do in exchange for the freedom of my foundation but she didn’t even try to call me.I am getting worried. And I know one person who can tell me where she is right now.“Asper?” Shock was all over Jyn’s face when he saw me standing in front of their front door. “It is already late, huh? Did you forget something?”I shook my head. “Is Rajiv there? I need to talk to him.”“He is not here.” He completely opened the door and invited me over inside. “Come on here. I am going to make some hot drinks for us.”I followed him to the kitchen and sat in the high chair while staring at him.“He hasn’t been home for a couple of days.” H

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“Wait!” I stopped him as I processed what he just said.He went back to the kettle and mixed our drinks and when he went back to me, he put a mug of chocolate drink in front of me.“The king wants Miracle to become the queen regent of this country?” I asked. “And she has to accept this for them to finally stop harassing the foundation?”He nodded. “That is their agreement.”Azaria Clan doesn’t believe that women have a place in the palace. They treated most of them only as a political tool. A way for them to gather more allies that will support them no matter what happens.That is why it is shocking to know that the king will resort to this kind of way since it is against their clan’s belief.We decided to move into their garden to continue our conversation. I think it will be a long one since we have so many things to talk about, especially all about Miracle.“I think the king intended to use Miracle’s achievement once she exposed the people who want to ruin

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovI have never been nervous like this in my entire life. But at the same time, I am also excited to see my family after more than a year.I know Dad will surely preach to me for what I did but I know I can take it. I just want to hug my mother since I miss her so much.And Jyn, the most influential person in the country, managed to prepare a place for me to meet with my family, away from the public’s eyes.I heard he booked a private villa around the Arya Region but away from Yain City and invited my family for an overnight vacation. He didn’t disclose who he is but I think he used a trusted name because my family accepted this invitation without giving it a second thought.However, I think they are aware that I am involved in this.My siblings are too busy to take even one day of vacation. They rarely do that, except if it was my mother’s birthday or their anniversary.“Asper!” I was greeted by a tight yet warm hug as soon as the front door of the villa. “Oh my

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovWe had a great dinner. Aside from the delicious food, I had a nice conversation with them that we hadn’t done in a very long time.We talked about what happened in our lives in the past year. From the changes that we got in our lives, the stupid things that we did, as well as the things that brought trouble for Dad.They also told me how I gave Dad a massive headache for running away and for meddling with the issue that involved Easter.And they all flicked my forehead as their revenge for giving them all trouble even though I have been living away from them.But all in all, we had a great night with each other.And because of that, we all agreed to have an overnight vacation at least once a month so we wouldn’t miss each other’s lives.After that, Dad chose the study room so we could start talking about serious matters.Jyn joined us after checking the perimeters for hours. He was still wearing his mask and I advised him not to take that off in front of my fa

    Caspian Jyn’s Pov“Something is wrong,” Rajiv said after his phone call and turned to me. “They are all acting weird.”I frowned. “Who?”“Lucky and the rest of Asper’s bodyguards,” he answered. “I don’t know what but Asper has been acting weird ever since she met Reina at Yain City.”I leaned my back in my chair’s backrest and looked at him. “What makes you think that they are acting weird?”“Asper changed, Jyn,” he said. “For the whole year that we haven’t seen her, she changed a lot. She is no longer the type to just stay on the side, keep quiet, and do nothing.”“You think they will cover for her if she is doing something without our knowledge?”He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know how Asper thinks now and the caporegime that we assigned to her are all afraid and loyal to you,” he said. “But I still can’t shake the feeling that Asper is doing something.”I know what he is trying to say because I also felt that way.“Pull out the last batch of security details that we sent there

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovDad told me not to worry too much after I mentioned to him what Hector said to me. He assured me that he and Aasiyah are ready for everything that the palace will possibly do.He already learned his lesson through what happened to me. He has no plans on making any decision for Aasiyah and he will support anything she decides once the palace proposes a marriage for her and Cloven.Well, I know my sister. Even though she is the youngest in the family and my parents kind of sheltered her, she will never let anyone around control her.Just like me, she will fight if she doesn’t want the situation. No one will persuade her to do something she doesn’t like.But to ensure that we have another person backing us up for my sister's sake, I also informed Miracle about this. I can count on her to assure me that Aasiyah will not experience the harassment that I got from the palace before.And it made me feel relieved after talking it all to them. It is reassuring that even

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“I already transferred the foundation to my sister,” I repeated. “My lawyer finished taking care of the paperwork last year and it was finalized last week. The foundation is now formally owned by Aasiyah.”Shock was still all over his face after I explained that.Aasiyah will hold a press conference about this to publicly announce the transfer. It was scheduled for next week but since there are still threats to her safety because of me, they might reschedule it once Dad formed new security details for her.I frowned when I saw the concern on Hector’s face as if I made a huge mistake.“Aasiyah took over the foundation when I left our home two years ago,” I continued. “And because of what I have to do, I decided to completely let it go. And Aasiyah decided to shoulder everything since she fell in love working there.”“You…” He cupped his forehead and sat on the floor. I don’t know what his problem is but he is acting as if it was big news for him.And it is not

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“You are really out of your mind, Asper,” Hector shook his head after I told him what I did to Jyn’s men who were assigned as my bodyguards. “You used yourself just to hold them in the neck.”“I only have myself, okay?” I said. “I can only take advantage of Jyn’s feelings for me to make them what I want.”He shook his head again and continued bathing the horse. “You like taking advantage of everything around you to make sure that every situation will side with you.”We are in the horse stable right now. He is working while I am sitting in the corner.“Don’t talk to me about taking advantage of things, Hector. You have done worse than what I am doing right now.” I rolled my eyes. He talked like he never abused his position as the crown prince to get what he wanted before.He looked at me and pointed to himself. “I am trying to change myself for the better, right?” He pointed at me. “But you? It seems like you are changing your path.”“Well, I am entering the wo

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovI received a warm welcome from the original workers of the farm. I have known most of them since they started working here when Granny was still alive. Some of them were hired by me when I started handling things around here and there were new ones that Dad hired to help Judith with the work in the mansion.And of course, Hector, who immediately got along with the people here. They know that he is the former crown prince but it seems like it doesn’t matter to them. They might be treating him as a normal person but they are all nice to him.Which is good since we never know how long he will be working here.Since I let him choose what work he wanted to do here, he chose to take care of the horses we have here. Maybe because he is already familiar with that since they have been taking care of horses in the palace. And he often joins horseback tournaments so he knows how to handle one.After taking care of things around the changes that will happen around the far

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“Sorry, Dad.” That is all I can say to my father who I was talking to through Lucky’s phone right now. I am standing in an abandoned port while staring at our helicopter that was burning down through the sky. “I am still not sure about how much money I have right now but I will try to buy a new one for you.”I heard Dad sigh. “Don’t worry about that. I already had plans to buy a new one for myself and give that to your brother.”“Oh.” I scratched my head. “Now, I feel even more bad. Helicopters are the easiest mode of transportation that he can use to go to Yain City without neglecting his job here at Ilore City.”“But you are okay, right?” Dad asked. “It is good that you noticed the problem in the helicopter sooner than later.”“Maybe I was getting sharper when it comes to danger.” Ever since I learned about the Rioghail, Dad made sure to train me every day. Not just some self-defense techniques, but also about the things that I should be looking around me th

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovEverything that I need to move to the farm is all set. Dad already sent there the people that will help me to start the new chapter of my life.Though, I will still visit here from time to time. That is why I don’t understand why my siblings and mother are crying right now.“Seriously, guys?” I shook my head while looking at them. Especially Kezia who has been hugging me tight. “I am just three hours’ drive away. You can visit me any time you want. And I will also try to visit as much as I can. This is not something like when I was hiding in Yain City. You can call me whenever you want.”“It is still different whenever you are here,” Kezia exclaimed. “Why do you have to live there? You have been taking care of Granny’s property remotely since you all got it, right?”“I know.” I sighed. “But now that I don’t have the SweetHeart and the foundation, the farm is currently my primary source of income. I had to study everything about it from scratch. So, please? Sto

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“Give him time, Asper,” Miracle added and lay down in my bed. “He is not used to what is happening to him right now.”“I understand what is happening to him and I am trying my best not to become his burden while he is fixing everything around him,” I explained. “Isn’t that the reason why I am leaving? I chose the farm because I know that I can do everything to protect myself there without holding back. So that when he is finally ready to come back to me, he will not worry about my safety anymore.”“Does it mean, that when he finished solving all his problems and he is ready to come back to you, you will not hesitate to accept him again?”“Yup,” I immediately answered, which made her get up. I looked at her and smiled. “Moving on from him is not really part of my life. I just want to give him space while he is working on his personal issue. And I am working on my life so I can live it the way I want without fearing for my safety.”We will not be able to do anyt

    Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovPeople in the house were shocked by my decision to hire Hector and as I expected, Jasper and Kezia voiced their disagreement with my decision. Though Dad didn’t say anything, I can see in his eyes that he is also on their side this time.Mom, Easter, and Aasiyah also do not agree with it but they choose to respect what I want to do, just like what they kept doing for the past months. I guess they trust me that much now.“He is changing!” I insisted on them because they kept telling me that I shouldn’t trust Hector since we all know who he really is. “Why don’t you give him a chance?”“Do you really believe that he is capable of changing?” Jasper asked. “What if he is only pretending to get your sympathy? And when you are finally comfortable with him, he will use that opportunity to take back everything he gave up and force you again to marry him.”I narrowed my eyes on him. “Are you hearing yourself now, brother? We all know that Hector is incapable of pretens
