I woke up in a bright environment so dazzling it made me close my eyes. After a while it seemed to disappear so my eyes could adjust to the light. I looked around, I was so amazed because of the flowers that surrounded me. Different kinds of flowers are planted there. There are different smells and colors. I smiled sweetly, oh God! It's like paradise. "Dahlia, son..." I turned around and my eyes searched for the one who called me. It was my Mother Lilet, I'm sure of that. "Mom! Where are you?" I cried and shouted at him. "Dahlia, oh!" my mother also shouted at me. I looked around and it stopped at a narra tree. I saw a woman with her back to me in a hammock. "'Mom! I'm here! We'll never be separated!" I shouted at him. When I got to the tree, I smiled when I saw that it was actually Mother Lilet. I cried when I saw his face relaxed and happy. It was as if there was no problem and his face looked younger. "'Mom, how are you? I'm here, I'm not going to separate, I promise," I promi
Dahlia's POV “Dahlia,” John called me. I turned to him and he was looking at me seriously. Ethan left to go to the grocery store to buy something for us to eat. Fortunately, I still have savings in the bank, this is what I spend here at the hospital. I just hope I can be discharged now because it will be expensive if we stay here for one more day. "Don't be surprised but I know your true identity, your mother sent you to find you a few years ago," he seriously promised me which surprised me. "H-how did you know?" I asked him."For your information, I am one of the investors of Monte Cristo Inc. led by your husband. That's why I was invested there because you are his wife. I will watch over you better when I get closer to Monte Cristo. I've been watching you since you were in college," John promised me. "W-what? seriously? You are so creepy!” I shouted at him and I was immediately terrified. "Not every day, no! Don't be so OA, Dahlia. I'm just following the order of the Queen. I'm
Dahlia's POV When I was discharged from the hospital, Ethan and I immediately went to the Monte Cristo mansion, immediately got into John's car and drove us there. "Thank you, John," I promised him when we got off. I carry the groceries we bought for cooking later. Ethan and I plan to have sex. “Thanks, man!” Ethan said to him. John just nodded and smiled at me. "I'll get back to you tomorrow morning," he promised me so I just nodded to him. "You have my number, don't you?" he asked more. “Yup!” my answer."Good, I'll just text you," he promised me. The seriousness of his face is obvious. That's why his elegance prevails because of that. Because John is more handsome when his face is serious. I shook my head, where is my own cousin? After a while he left so Ethan and I looked at each other. "Are you sure Emery and Travis aren't there?" I asked him. "Of course, Ate Loling said she left earlier," she promised me. We quickly entered the gate, we were the only people there becaus
I woke up early in the morning, I didn't have breakfast because I knew Travis and Emery were there in the mansion. I can't bear to see them. I've already taken a shower and I'm just waiting for John to call or text me. Because he said he will pick me up here early in the morning. I heard a soft knock outside my room, my brow furrowed because of that. Who is this? I immediately opened the door and saw Ethan's shy face on me. "Sorry, did I disturb you?" he asked me." I smiled at him and shook my head. "No, I'm all set and I'm just waiting for John to call or text me. He took a deep breath. "It's good that I caught up with you, I thought you had already left," "It's surprising, John hasn't been here until now, it's five in the morning. They said it was early morning," I promised him. Ethan wondered what the reason was. "Maybe it's just traffic, let's just wait for him, have you had breakfast yet?" he asked me. "Not yet, maybe I'll just have breakfast on the flight," I said. "Com
"Dahlia?" I ignored him and just looked directly at Emery. "Here's your breakfast," I promised them. Emery immediately sat up in bed and hugged Travis around his waist. It hurt to see that but I didn't say anything. There is nothing I can do but accept that Travis and I have a limit to our love and friendship. He doesn't love me anymore, that Emery. I quickly placed the tray on their bedside table. "I cooked breakfast for Dahlia, honey. I know you were as tired as last night," Emery promised her softly. Tired? Where? My heart seemed to break because of the idea that entered my mind. Travis didn't even say a word and I think he just stared at me. "Honey?" Emery asked again. "B-Why did you order Emery? H-He's not our assistant, Emery," Travis said. The woman only frowned. "Well, I want her to cook our breakfast! Do you have a problem with that? I thought I'd always be the one to follow because I'm pregnant!" Emery yelled at him that's why he got scared. I smirked, as if he was on
"You look sad, shall we go back?" John asked me as if teasing me. I just shut him up and tortured him. This man is ruining the moment. "So, why did it take you so long? I've been waiting for you for a while, do you know that?" I promised him annoyed. If only he had gone to the mansion early, I wouldn't have done something that hurt my feelings. "I picked up Queen Dahria, your mother. She's excited to see you. Do you know she still wants to come with me? That's not possible because someone might see her," he told me, making me wince. I don't know what I will do or react when I see my real mother. What am I supposed to do? Shall I hug him? Kiss on the cheek? Smile? I do not know. Yes, I was excited to see him but I was still shy and of course nervous. I never thought that Nanay Lilet was not my real mother. I smiled, he's good at hiding because he just found out everything. "What am I going to do when I see him, John?" I asked him. "Who?" he never asked me. I rolled my eyes at
"Dahlia child!" I was surprised to hear him babbling. He hugged me so tightly that I just hugged him. I don't know but my heart immediately beat because of the warmth of his hug. I don't understand the feeling. I saw John smiling broadly at us. When we left, I stared at his face even more. It was very gentle and obviously took good care of itself. I was amazed to see his eyes. It's almost the same as mine, hazel nut in color. Even his wavy hair is the same."How are you son? I'm sorry I only showed up to you now since you were young. I don't want you to get in trouble." It started crying in front of me so I was worried. It took a while but I just held his back to make him stay. "Lo siento. Te quiero," he said making me frown. I suddenly turned to John to ask what the translation of what my mother said was. "She said, she's sorry and she loves you," he promised me. I nodded at him. "I'm sorry, son." I frowned because he actually understood Tagalog. "Do you understand Tagalog?" h
I woke up to a soft knock on my bedroom door. I didn't realize that I fell asleep wondering if I made the right decision to go to Spain. I didn't aspire to be a princess or a queen. I don't like that because it's too big a responsibility, especially when you hold the entire palace of Austria. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. Surprise registered on my face when I saw who the person was behind the door. "Mom? What are you doing here?" I asked him in surprise. He just smiled at me. "Can I go inside, son?" he asked me and I nodded. I immediately let him in, he immediately entered and sat on my bed. "Can I talk to you, huh?" he asked me. "Yes, what is that, mother?" "Sit here, son," he promised me. I quickly sat next to him. "I want you to be honest, iha. Are you sulking at me? Are you angry?" he asked me. I was surprised by his question. I don't know what to say to him. Just a few seconds ago when I spoke before that I took a deep breath. "Honestly, mom, I was scare
Princess Dahlia Sofia I sighed as I stared into a large mirror, looking at my reflection. I smiled when I saw a smiling figure behind me. She's so beautiful in her white gown. “How is our Bride? You seem nervous, ah," she smiled at me and I shook my head. "It's like I'm getting married for the first time." I shook my head. She held my arm and our eyes met. "Just relax, Best Friend, okay? This is your special day so enjoy it. You're so beautiful right now, you're going to hit me hard," Emery told me with a laugh. It's been a few weeks since she recovered from the shooting. I thought she would disappear from our lives but I am glad because she still fought even in critical condition. "Thank you for being here at my wedding and now, you are my maid of honor." I winked at her so she laughed at me. "I am very happy because everything is going to be okay. I knew to myself that you and Travis were meant to be in the first place but you know I'm crazy...It's all my fault--" "Le
I escorted Dahlia and the children out first to make sure they were safe. As for those women, we gave them towels and blankets to somehow cover their naked bodies. When they got out, the police and NBI came. I quickly returned to the house and looked for Emery. I heard crying in the distance so I followed it. My eyes widened to see a man kissing a woman. It has been put on but it still has a cover. I quickly pulled that man away from the woman. Damn! This person is a pig and evil! I didn't notice that the man was different. I thought Mr. Ronaldo but it's different. I felt a focus on my head so I immediately stopped punching the man. When I saw the man I punched, I immediately frowned because it turned out to be Mayor Gregorio. What the actual fuck? Does the Mayor also have anything to do with this? I shook my head. "Looks like you're strong enough, son, you've been able to track us down here. Where is the five billion I sent you? Did you give it to my staff?” asked Mr. Ronald
Travis I'm excited to go to my wife Dahlia's house, because today is our bonding time. Today is Saturday and today is our bonding time as a family. Dahlia also told me that she has something important to tell me. I don't know but I am so excited, maybe she will say yes to me. Just dream once and I'll make it happen. In fact, I really want us to be in the same house but I don't want to lead my wife's decision. As long as possible, she will be the one I'll follow, because she might resent my asking her to live under the same roof. Dahlia said I was too excited, she didn't even answer me yet. As much as possible, I am careful with what I say and what i want. I don't want to turn her off and commit a sin again or be unpleasant in her eyes. I am so conscious because of my wife. I love her so much and I don't want to lose her from my life. I smiled widely as I drove to their mansion. I also need to make up for the children because I was busy looking for the Congressman and planning t
"Love, Mommy is looking for you, she said she wants to see you, is it okay for me to pick up the children from the mansion and bring them home? Just go past them since Mommy is looking for you, she says she misses you," Travis said on the other line. I was currently at work when he called me. A few days passed when we arrived in the Philippines. "Okay, have you heard from Emery yet?" I asked. I heard his sigh when I asked him that. "Not yet, love. I can't contact her either. I am worried for her and for her daughter." Emery hasn't come home to her condo for a few days so as a friend we are also worried about her. We are also taking care of the evidence we gathered against Emery's father but the problem is there's no witness. Oh I forgot, there's one and it's Emery. Emery is the only one who can imprison his father. "Don't worry, I'll get help from my staff as well as Mom and Isabella's staff. We will find Emery and Emmeren.” "Thank you, Dahlia. The child has become too close t
I took a deep breath and smiled. Mom, Isabella and I were already fine. I don't want to harbor anger towards them, I don't want to be stressed. I love them so much and they were my only family so I can't stand the fact that we had an argument... Yes, I was hurt but the pain made me more mature. I learned to forgive and understand the people around me. I've been looking for Travis since this morning, he didn't show up. Where was that man, I also need to talk to him so that when we get home we will both be okay. I'm ready to face him and I'm ready to fight those person who destroyed us both. I looked around the palace but still nothing, I frowned when I saw Mom talking to Travis. I was suddenly felt nervous, I didn't expect them to talk. I hope Travis isn't nervous too, I chuckled. The nervousness was evident on Travis's face. It's really obvious on his fac, seems it's like he's going to poop. I immediately walked closer to them and smiled when they saw me. "It looks like you
"Mommy, are we going to the Philippines? Daddy said, we're going home," Mathilda asked sadly. "Yes baby, we're going home, Mommy has a lot of work to attend in the Philippines. We will live there with Daddy," I explained. I don't know where Travis is, he suddenly disappeared from the twins' room. This is where he slept and I was in my old room. My night was peaceful because Tristan and I were okay. I don't know why I can forgive him so easily. Maybe I don't feel that bad about him. "Matthew, have you seen your Daddy?" I asked my son who was currently playing on his tablet. He immediately stopped playing and looked at me. "I didn't see him, Mommy." I just nodded and exited the room, when someone peeked at our door. It was one of Queen Isabella's servants, if I was not mistaken. “Good morning, Princess Sofia. The Queens are here," she politely said so I nodded. I straightened myself up and waited for Mom and my sister. "Your Abuela is here, greet them okay?" I reminded t
Here we are inside the dining table with Travis, Tristan, Isabella, Mom and Tristan's parents. I just laughed at my excessive plasticity. I don't know how I was able to smile and mingle with them when I was hurting. Isabella's face was also awkward, she couldn't even look at me. "Son, why didn't you tell us you were coming home?" Mom asked me so I turned around. "I want to surprise you all, but I was the one who was surprised," I promised him with a laugh. I know that Tristan's parents understand Tagalog because as far as I know, his mother lived in the Philippines for several years. They didn't even laugh at what I said so I coughed. “The wedding is on Sunday, are you going to attend, Princess Sofia? And who's that boy beside you? Is that your boyfriend?” the queen asked me so I turned to Travis. The man who looked at me was restless. I knew he was nervous so I held his hand under the table. I smiled at him, I wanted to calm him down. "He's my husband," I answered the queen with
When we arrived in Spain, we immediately hailed a taxi, I immediately put on a cap and sunglasses because someone might recognize me. When we entered, Mathilda immediately came running and I just shook because of her veil. I don't even know who inherited it, Travis and I are not talkative. "Mommy, can we tell Abuela and Tita Isabella that we are already here in Spain?" Mathilda asked me and I shook my head. "No, honey. We will surprise your Abuela, you want that, right? You like surprises.". It nodded at me and clapped. "I can't wait to finally introduce my Daddy to them, right 'Tus?" Mathilda asked her sister. He just nodded to him as a sign of agreement.Matthew always nodded to his brother. My son is also funny sometimes. Always spoiling her sister, even if she doesn't want to, she will do it anyway, not only to disappoint and make my daughter sad. That's how Travis used to be to me, he just changed when Emery came back into our lives. "You don't seem okay,"I took a deep brea
Until now, what Travis said to me is still in my mind. Are we still married? Is he just fooling me or what? This man is also annoying sometimes, because I ask him questions and he never gets an answer. He said we should talk about it when we get home to the Philippines. I'm itching to know why we're still married. Did I think I was free from him? Not yet. You'll just get really pissed off. If only we weren't inside the plane, I would have scolded him earlier. "You better go to sleep first, let your mind rest." I turned to him and tormented him.“I can't sleep, it's your fault! How are we still married? Are you fooling me again?” I asked him. He took a deep breath and shook his head. "You better take care of your problem there in Spain first. Even if you don't say it, I know you have a big problem. John also told me the reason," he softly promised me. It was enough for me to hear his voice. Our twins are currently sleeping, they can't be woken up because it's so disgusting when they
