La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 15—Authority and Audacity
CHAPTER 15—Authority and AudacityRain's point of viewI do not remember how long I was in front of my grandmother's casket. When I first saw it, I felt nothing but sadness. It's only now that I'm slowly realizing that my beloved abuela is gone.I felt the hand that held me. When I looked back to see who it was, I smiled slightly. That's my mommy with a worried face."Sit first, Rain," she said, then squeezed my hand.I just nodded and wiped the tears from my cheeks. I also turned to Aliona, who was on the other side of me. She rubbed my back."Are you okay?"I nodded slightly. "Yes.""Let's go. Let's sit down first." She still led me.Almost all eyes were on me. There was something about that, and I wasn't sure if it was pity or sadness. I breathed deeply.I was about to sit in a chair when I saw someone in the entrance. Ali was there, and Gianna was with him. They were wearing different clothes now, so I frowned."Rain," called mommy, who must have noticed my facial expression. "Are
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 16—Be Patiently Waiting
CHAPTER 16—Rain's point of viewIt seemed like cold water was poured on me when Ali pushed me. My eyes widened when he stood up and turned his back on me. I could clearly see how Ali clenched his fists."Get some rest," he said, then took a step, but I immediately called him."Ali, just a moment!"He stopped but didn't look at me and kept his back to me.I breathed deeply. I bit my lower lip. I'm not sure where I'm getting the courage from now, but here goes."I'm sorry if I kissed you. Just forget about it." I arranged a place on top of the bed.Ali looked up and shook his head slightly. It seems that something pinched in my heart, and now I am filled with shame. I regret kissing him.When Ali still didn't leave the stand, I looked at him. I have his eyes. He's not angry anymore, but his eyes are wide when he's with me. Our eyes met."I'm fine here. Leave me alone. I'm going to rest," I just said.He nodded, then turned back. When Ali got out, tears started to form in my eyes. It sh
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 17—He's Lying
CHAPTER 17— He's Lying Rain's POVI was choosing something to wear when I noticed that my two cousins, who were both sitting on the edge of the bed, were staring at me. I was standing in front of them and holding the two hangers where the two dresses that I chose to wear tonight were hanging."Why are you staring like that? I said. Which of these two should I wear later?" I asked as I raised the hangers again."Dark blue is okay with me," said Aliona, who was lying on the bed."The black one is better, Rain." Azariah pointed to the hanger on my right.I frowned. "Can't you both choose?"Azariah made me suffer. "I bet the black one is better.""You can wear the black one tomorrow because it's a funeral," Aliona said.I suddenly felt sad when Aliona mentioned the word 'funeral'. I dropped the hanger on top of the bed and stood next to my two cousins."May I ask?" I asked them, and they nodded."Shoot!" Azariah said.I breathed deeply. "How was Abuela when she was alive?"Aliona sat dow
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 18—Fur Allergy
CHAPTER 18—Fur AllergyRain's point of viewAli and I went straight to my room. When I got in there, I immediately made him sit on the sofa. He didn't move and just looked at me while I was busy looking for what we needed. I took the small first aid kit that was inside the nightstand.I stood next to him and then took out the alcohol and cotton. I silently cleaned Ali's wound. While cleaning it, I noticed that Ali had a scratch on his hand as well. Even in the arm there is alsoMy concern for him rose. "Did you get into a fight?""No." His answer seems very lazy. There seems to be no intention of explaining it to me.I looked at him. I lightly pressed the cotton on his wound, causing Ali to startle. "You're really lying to me!"I held his hand again and carefully cleaned it. I also blow it to make the pain go away somehow."I never got into a fight, even if you ask Gianna.""Maybe I should ask her!" I spoke boldly to show him that I could do it."It's okay," he replied, looking at me

CHAPTER 19—Lie DetectorRain's point of viewAccording to mommy, the grandchildren will wear white while the children will wear black at my grandmother's funeral. I chose to wear a white lace dress with flat sandals.My cousins were already dressed and had peeked into my room earlier. I was in the living room and was about to go to Butterfly Haven when I saw Ali coming in from outside."Are you ready?" he asked.I nodded and smiled slightly. I have also noticed my parents, who are both wearing colored clothes. I approached them.My mommy held my hand and squeezed it a little. "Are you okay?"I nodded. "Yes, mommy.""Where is Gianna?" my dad asked while looking at Ali.I'm just talking to someone, sir," Ali said seriously. He's got eyes on me."Many people will surely join the funeral, but we will be there in my car."Ali nodded. "I'll drive.""That's good," said Daddy.My cousins came down one by one, as well as their parents. Obviously rich people because of the clothes.Azariah wave
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 20—Need To be Ready
RAIN's Point of viewTWO days passed, I didn't see Ali again since the night he hugged me in my room. He didn't even say goodbye. He didn't say anything and every time I asked my parents, they couldn't answer either.My concern for Ali was rising even if I tried to stop myself. I know I have no right to feel that way but I can't help it.Carrying the book and cell phone, I went down to the living room. I noticed the mother sitting there quietly and deep in thought. I approached it."Mommy, what are you doing here alone?"It seemed surprised by my presence. "It's you, Rain. I was just thinking about something. You, where are you going?" It looked at my hand."I'm just going to read this book in the garden. I'm bored in the room. Where are Aliona? I don't think I can see them." I turned around."Aliona went somewhere with Apollo. I haven't seen Azariah yet." He looked at me. "Are you hungry?"I shook my head. "Would you like to come with me to the garden? The air is fresh there because

CHAPTER 21 —The TruthTHIRD POVRain felt her mommy's hand tighten slightly."You say it, Ali." Her daddy even stepped back to give Ali space but she didn't step.She looked at him directly. "Atty. Reymundo is a close friend of mine. He is your grandmother's lawyer.""Your friend?""One of my best friends. He is also one of Donya Aitana's students.""Then?""I know what is written in Donya Aintana's Last Will and Testament because I was with her when she made it."Her forehead was wrinkled while listening."Almost all of your abuela's wealth is named after you," Ali spoke to her calmly but seriously.Her eyes widened. "To m-me?""Yes.""Rain, whatever your Daddy and Ali say, please, just obey. We are worried," said her mommy.She didn't answer. She couldn't believe it. Her grandmother has many children as well as grandchildren. That's why she wondered why it was only named after her."But why all mine?" she asked."As I mentioned to you, you are Donya Aitana's favorite granddaughter."
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 22—THE LAST WILL
CHAPTER 22—The Last WillRain's POV"I am Aitana De Lara. Seventy years old, I leave 50 percent of the property to my sons Merceditas, Eliseo, and Elmer.""Wait a minute, attorney. Why only fifty percent?" Uncle Eliseo asked the lawyer."Is it okay if I finish reading it all first?""Ah, sure. I'm sorry." He apologizes.The lawyer continued. "Fifty percent of this covers the plants." Many businesses mention the lawyer, and we just listen.The faces of my uncles and aunties show their dislike for the last will."Meanwhile, the remaining fifty percent will be left to my granddaughter Rain Ember. This includes the entire Villa Floris.""What!?" Auntie Merceditas suddenly asked. It frowned. How can half of mom's property go to Rain? She is just a grandchild, an attorney. We are her children."Azariah held her mother. "Mommy, calm down."But Auntie Merceditas ignored Azariah. "Attorney, maybe you're just making a mistake."The lawyer smiled. "I can't be wrong, Mrs. Gustaves."Auntie's eyes

CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?Rain's Point of ViewWhile Von and Azariah were grilling and Ali was playing guitar. We both sing and I can truly say that Ali's voice is beautiful. I was embarrassed because my voice wasn't that good, but he tried to make me sing."You have a beautiful voice, Rain. Who said you don't have a good voice?" asked Azariah. It seems that he has been hearing me say that my voice is not good.I didn't answer right away. I honestly don't remember who told me when I was young that my voice was not beautiful. They said it's better if I just dance because my body is a bit soft."I don't remember who Uncle Eliseo told me or who he was talking to at that time. I was still young when they told me that. Then those who heard laughed." I don't want to say these things anymore because it's been a long time. I'm still young."Ah, so it's Uncle. Maybe he didn't want you anymore that's why he said that.""Maybe he's just joking," I said.Azariah stopped turning the squids that
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of Fighting
CHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of FightingRain's Point of ViewI was almost surprised when I felt Ali's arm wrap around my waist and I turned to him. There was a tinge of concern on his face as he looked at me. I frowned. "What's the problem?" I will ask."You are the one I asked. What's the problem? Why do you look like that?” Ali even held my cheek and squeezed it a little. "You look like you just got back from crying. Did you cry?" he asked me.I smiled at him, still seeing the white teeth. "Yes, I am really fine. Don't worry about me." I took his hand from his grip on me."Why is that red and it looks like you just got back from crying?""Nothing. Believe me. Azariah and I just talked and my heart was touched by him. That's because my cousin is so smart. I have nothing more to say to him.”Ali nodded slowly. "You're right there. What Aliona and Apollo's attitude was bad, Azariah was kind. And another thing is that I can see how much he loves Von.""They're both sweet too, aren't they?" I
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 106—Thankful and Grateful
CHAPTER 106—Thankful and GratefulRain's Point of ViewWe were very happy with the sea water while we were on the boat. There was a steward who maneuvered the boat so that we could sail smoothly in the ocean.Ali was next to me as I leaned on him slightly. He holds my hands. It should be so peaceful. Fortunately, the boat we were on had a roof so we were not directly exposed to the sun."Are you okay?" Ali asked me.I didn't answer right away. I've been bothered by things for a while now but I don't want to ask Ali. Do I feel that he will get annoyed with me if I keep asking him questions? All the things that happen to us make me question why it happens.I sighed before trying to smile at him. "I'm fine. Nothing will happen if I'm not going to be okay, right?”Ali squeezed my hand. "That's right. Whatever you're thinking, put your worries away because I won't leave you. You and your family."I looked him in the eyes. "I know that. I also know that you will do everything just to make s
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 105—Excitement
CHAPTER 105—ExcitementRain's Point of View"So, Daddy said we can't leave the rest house for now. It's like we're locked down, right?" I asked as I held Ali's arm. We walk on the beach watching the sunrise.Azariah and Von were with us earlier but they said goodbye to go to the gym so Ali and I continued walking. From a distance we could see the guards watching over us."Yes. That's how it is. Such an idea is boring and annoying, but we need it to ensure that you and your entire family are safe."I leaned my head on Ali's shoulder. "I understand. Thank you, Ali?”"For what?""For taking care of me and my family.""You are always welcome. I will do everything to ensure your safety." I felt him kiss my forehead so I closed my eyes.It feels so good to be cared for and protected by the person I love. I can't ask for anything else because I feel his love for me.“Would you like us to have breakfast? The cook at the rest house must have cooked." Earlier, before we left, I talked to our co
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 104—He's Back!
CHAPTER 104—He's Back!Rain's Point of View"Have you talked to Ali again?" I asked while we were in the middle of dinner. To be honest, we all had almost no appetite to eat. The food on the plates doesn't move because they seem to be touching each other."Not yet. Von said the last time we talked earlier that their phones were low on battery. They will go out to buy a charger,” answered Azariah."Do you think, Dad, can they come here to the rest house?" I asked while my attention was on daddy. Even my companions are also looking here.Before dad bowed and he bowed and took a deep breath. He looked at me. "It is possible, Rain, but they themselves said that they will not come here. Because they need to be sure that no one can follow them. Ali and Von just want us to be on the list, especially you and Azariah.” Dad exchanged glances with my cousin and me.I felt Azariah grab me with a free hand that wasn't holding the cutlery."Your daddy is right, Rain," said mom. He gave me a smile t
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 103—Fear
CHAPTER 103—FearRain's Point of ViewI was so nervous to do what Elise and I had planned. Azarian also helped us and Von knew the plan. Von was our helper to somehow keep Ali away and not notice what we were planning to do. I took a deep breath. I took a shower and put on light makeup. I dried my hair with a hair blower and just put a gold hair clip on it.I was in front of the mirror trying to study the smile. No matter what I do, I smile and the nervous feeling is still on my face. A part of my heart is also afraid that the plans might come to nothing. Maybe Ali is mad at me and won't accept my apology.When I found out about Elise's true personality, I felt very guilty. I feel like I have a very bad girlfriend. The type that I don't trust the most loved one who did nothing but ensure my safety. My heart sank again because I felt sorry for Ali. I even asked myself if it was worth it for Ali to love me even though I hurt him because I was jealous.Elise says that my feelings are val
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 102—Elise's Plan
CHAPTER 102—Elise's PlanRain's Point of ViewAs dad said, we will tie up at the rest house first. Our other relatives didn't know that, even Aunty Merceditas. Azariah just got why I can say that that house is really secret. As far as I can remember, I have only been there twice.That rest house is nice. It's on the side of the beach and it's quiet. There aren't many houses around us so it's like that. Also far from civilization. When we got out of the car, I was so amazed.I rode in dad and mom's car while Von, Azariah and Elise rode in Ali's car. Earlier Dad forced me to ride there but I refused. I really don't want to see or be with Ali. We didn't break up but I think that's the way it is.Am I hurt? Of course. Just last night I cried and cried and fell asleep doing that. When I woke up earlier, my eyes were very swollen. I wanted to laugh because we didn't break up but I cried. It's my fault because I'm stubborn. I don't listen to Ali's reasons but it's not because I can invalida
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 101—Space
CHAPTER 101—SpaceRain's Point of ViewBecause my ankle was swollen due to a pinched nerve, I really had to be given first aid. I just cried when the doctor tried to move my leg. Maybe it took pity on me, it just let me rest and calm down. Fortunately, Azariah doesn't let go of me and I cry to him. My leg was bandaged and then I was helped to position myself on top of the bed.Dad got a private room and there was a security guard assigned outside the door. The security is very tight to prevent what happened earlier in our house.Because the doctor gave me medicine, I fell asleep. It's a good thing because somehow I didn't feel the pain in my foot. It is elevated so that it cannot be moved. When I woke up I had a faint voice that was heard in the room where I was. When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw Ali talking to Von and Azariah. Elise was also there and sitting. Ali and Elise are not next to each other but I'm annoyed. I got annoyed.I moved and tried to get up but my leg hurt c
La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 100—Loud Gunshots
CHAPTER 100—Loud Gunshots Rain's Point of ViewSince I wasn't in the mood earlier after working out, I didn't feel like eating breakfast either. I didn't go with my parents because Ali, Elise, Von and Azariah were with them. Mom just sent food to my room but I didn't touch it. It's just on the table and I have no intention of eating. I only drank the milk and I'm fine with that.I just left my room bored. First, I will air in the garden where it is windy at this time. I brought my phone as well as the book I was reading so I could do something there.I have made up my mind that if Ali ever approaches me to talk to me, I will still not talk to him and ignore him. To be honest, I miss my boyfriend a lot but every time I think about Elise being with him now, I feel like I'm wondering if he still loves me.Maybe I'm being dramatic but that's what I wanted to ask him. Even though Ali says that he hasn't changed and I'm still his priority, I don't see that.When I got to the garden I sat d
