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."

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 23—Seemed to be in HurryRain's point of viewIt's night, but what I've been feeling since earlier is still the same. I didn't eat dinner because I didn't feel like it. Whatever comes to mindFrom what I saw and heard earlier from my auntie Merceditas, I know that she will not immediately accept those in the last will.I jumped up when someone knocked. I slowly approached the door and opened it from the outside."Hi!""Azariah?" I was surprised to see my cousin outside, but what surprised me more was that her eyes were red and swollen. It looks like she is crying."Can I come in?" Even though Azariah looked like that, she still managed to smile at me.Yeah. Come on, come in." I widened the door opening to let her in.When my cousin entered, she suddenly hugged me while crying. I wanted to know what happened, but it was better to keep quiet. I just let her cry first when she cried.After a few minutes, she gave up hugging me."I'm sorry. I made you cry. I messed up your clothes

CHAPTER 24—A Person Outside The WindowRain' Point of ViewI was nervous because of Ali's voice on the other line. I tried to call him again but his phone was switched off. I am wondering. I want to go down to see him but I'm afraid.I climbed on top of the bed. I tried calling Ali's number again but still the same. I'm really nervous and restless.I took a cardigan and put it on. I left the room with the cell phone. I slowly came down from the living room and went to the kitchen. I will look for Ali there first. It's a bit dark throughout the living room going to the kitchen because only the lights on the wall are on and it's not that bright. I even noticed the plate I used earlier in the sink.When I still didn't see Ali, I went to the library but there was no one. The silence was deafening all around. I took a deep breath. Maybe it would be better if I just went back to my room.I was at the bottom of the stairs when I noticed a shadow of a person outside the window. I bowed down.

CHAPTER 25 — La Arma CounterspyRain's point of view"Didn't I tell you not to leave your room, especially at such a time? Why are you so stubborn?" Ali's voice rose slightly when he told me that.I met his gaze. "Why are you angry?" Even though I was nervous, I still managed to ask him that."I'm not angry. It's just annoying because your stubbornness—""I was just worried about you, so I came down to look for you!" I said, because that's the truth. I couldn't calm myself down."Rain, that's enough."My chest heaved. I looked at Mom. "I'm going up to my room." I didn't wait for their answer and turned back. I left the parents' room feeling bad for Ali.I was on the stairs when I heard Ali's voice calling my name. I didn't pay attention to him. I continued to my room and, upon entering, went straight to the window. I opened it to let fresh air in.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I'm annoyed with Ali, but I'm even more annoyed with myself because I think I'm too wor

CHAPTER 26—Where To Go?Rain's point of viewFor the last few days, I have been thinking about La Arma Countryspy. Just thinking about being the one in charge makes my head hurt. Even if it is said that Ali will help me, it is still different when I have knowledge of such a business. Too delicate and complicated."Hey! You've been an idiot for a while!" said Azariah while we were in the garden. Aliona was with us but took food from the kitchen.I immediately smiled at her. No one can know about the secret agency or our grandmother's business."I was just thinking about when we're going home.""You want to go home? Don't you want to be here?" she asked.I looked at the plants. "It's not that I don't want to be here, Azariah. Of course, our house is there. My parents and I live there."She nodded. "But this ancestral house is yours. It's your house.""Yes, but you and Auntie Merceditas are living here too." I turned around.My cousin sat down. "Wait. Do you mean it's okay with you that

CHAPTER 27Rain's Point of ViewOur car STOPPED at a five storey building where, even from the outside, it is obvious that the construction is modern. The wall is made of glass but because of the blinder, you can't see what's inside.Ali's car door opened to me almost gaping in awe of the place. My hair was still welded and you immediately pulled it out."This place is beautiful. But why does it seem like we are in the middle of the forest?" I frowned at the question because when we were on our way here, I noticed that this place is remote. There are many trees and I can even see mountains.This is also the only building here and there is nothing else standing around. It has a high fence at the highest part, there is an electric cable where there is a sign that the electricity is active there."It's up to me to explain. Let's go."I followed Ali when he walked. I noticed the guards with different maroon uniforms. It's not like what the police or soldiers wear, but it's obvious that th

La Arma's Heir CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?
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
