Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovI took a deep breath before holding the door knob of my house’s door here in Yain City.It was already night when we arrived here and just like what I expected, I immediately felt immense fear. Memories of that horrible night, one year ago, flashed in my eyes.But I tried my best to ignore it. I kept whispering to myself that it would never happen again because I was not alone anymore.I have my bodyguards with me and they will do everything to protect me.Also, my problem with Hector has already gone. It might be unexpected but he is slowly changing. And he chose to do the right thing and switch on walking the right path to keep his position as the crown prince of this country.And I don’t have any connection to Jyn anymore. I completely cut it and I don’t intend to come back there because that is the right thing to do.I took a deep breath again before opening the door.And I was greeted by the clean living area of my house.I am aware that Pruska took care
Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovIt has been three days since I came back here to Yain City. And so far, my siblings haven't gone here to drag me back home.And it is actually unusual since I know them all. That is why I asked Lucky about it and he said that Dad forbade them from coming here.Dad also said that it is better for me to leave Ilore City for a while since there is some bad news from the palace. There are some things that have changed and he doesn’t want me to get involved there.So, staying here will be a favor for all of us.We are communicating through Lucky because up until now, I still don’t want to own any phone. It is inconvenient for me and my family but I hope they understand me. This is the only way that I can see to avoid contacting Jyn.Especially when every night, I had to drown myself in alcohol just to forget the pain that I was feeling right now.Well, I don’t plan to be miserable forever. This is just for this week while I am thinking of what I should do next.Bec
Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“Reina, I am tired of chasing after Cee,” I said. “He wants me to go away from his life, right? I can give him what he wants.”She shook her head. “And you choose to be stubborn now?”“I have been fighting alone for our relationship,” I said. “I was even willing to face all the nightmares that surrounded his life even if it was not natural for me. It is the opposite of who I am. I am willing to enter his world. And why did I do that? Because I love him so much.”“And you still love him, right?”“Yes,” I immediately answered. “I love him and I know that no matter what I do, I will never be able to move on from these feelings. I will live by it for the rest of my life. But I just realized, why do I only have to fight for us? Why do I have to face the fear of our relationship alone? Why can’t he face his fear?”“You know him—”“Yes, I know him,” I cut her. “And it is unfair. Yes, you said his love for me is deeper than what he had for you. But those feelings are
Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovReina almost fainted because of what she learned from me so I had to bring her to the hospital. She probably couldn’t handle the stress after learning that someone took the blame for what happened to her back then.And that is when I learned that she flew all the way here alone and Pruska was the only person she knew here so I called her to tell her the situation of Reina.The doctor said that I don’t have to worry about her. Her vitals are good and she was just stressed so she only needed to take a rest.But to make sure that she would be okay, I decided to admit her overnight so the nurses would watch her closely. I also don’t want her to go back to Ilore City where her family is staying right now without taking the rest that she needs.“Asper…”I turned my head to Pruska who had just arrived.“Sorry for taking so much of your time,” she said. “There are a lot of things that I had to take care of at SweetHeart.”I smiled. “It is okay,” I said. “Reina is okay
Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“Miracle!” I jumped to her and hugged her tight when she greeted me in the living room. “I missed you!”“I missed you too, Asper.” He caressed my back. “It must have been a stressful day for you, too.”I nodded. “I didn’t expect to face Reina.”“Do you want to rest first?” he asked. “I heard you stayed with her overnight to ensure her safety. We can talk while you are resting.”I let go of the hand and nodded again. “Okay.”She pulled me upstairs and when we got inside, she sat in my bed. “Rajiv told me everything.” I sat beside her. “About the reason why Reina got stressed.”“Yeah,” I said. “She clearly said that Hector has nothing to do with what happened to her five years ago.”“And he just took the fall and let everyone blame him for that.”“I don’t understand why he did that.” I sighed. “Why did he let that happen if he didn’t do it?”She shook her head. “I always thought that he was just a simple-minded prince that everyone can control but it looks like
Asper Reign Dahlia’s PovJust like what I expected, Pruska chose to buy my remaining shares at SweetHeart. And since she is now the owner of that shop, I kind of felt relief because she will surely take care of it. So, I had to give the recipes for every product that the shop had.And the house? Miracle said that she already talked to the possible buyer but they would have to settle everything next week so I had her take care of everything.I had to go back to Ilore City to take care of everything I needed to move to the farm that I got from my grandmother. So, I left Yain City earlier than I planned.According to Miracle, Reina was still in the hospital. Jyn wanted to make sure that she was okay before traveling back but I didn’t dare to visit her again. Well, I am sure that she is okay since Jyn will take care of her. They might be separating but Jyn will never neglect her, especially now that she is pregnant.“Asper!” Kezia greeted me while raising her eyebrows at me. Beside her is
Asper Reign Dahlia’s Pov“What the hell was that?” I shouted at Hector when we accidentally met in a high-end restaurant where I was planning to have lunch.I heard that he not only threw away his position as the heir to the throne, but he also gave up his right as the prince of this country. He even gave back all the properties that his parents gave to him.And now, he is working in a hotel restaurant as a waiter. And since his reputation to the public is not good, it is not easy for him to get a job that will support his lifestyle.I heard from Miracle that Rajiv helped him get here but it is only temporary because he also gave up even his condominium unit so he needs to make some money for his rent in a small apartment.He was having his break time and since the manager knew me, he let us use the VIP room where we could talk.“Are you really out of your mind?”“What did I do that made you angry?” he said. “I was just trying to live my life the way that I should be.”“Hector, what y
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
