2021-07-06 18:01:57It was an amazing week, as things got cleared all the misunderstanding was gone as we already talked about it.
"Roana, come here," He said gently with a radiant smile on his face, he reached for my hand and I gladly accepted it, he then places his hand in my waist and kisses the side of my head.
"I would like you to meet Ms. Kierra Smith, she will be your gown designer from now on," He said as he looks at me and then at Ms. Kierra who is now smiling at us."Nice to meet you, Ms. Kierra," I politely said, she then slightly bowed her head and greeted me back. "It was indeed a pleasure meeting you, Lady Roana," she said and look at me, still smiling.
"So, Roana I'll leave you two here if you need anything, I'll be in my office," Corro said, I nodded my head and kiss his cheeks. "Roana Montenegro," She said, with a smirk gone the polite and gentle expression on her face, she then folded her arms in her chest and looks at mRelated chapters
Lie a Little 7. Winter Ball
Three weeks had passed and now is the date of the Winter Ball. I look at my gown, it was a bloody red dress, an elegant cut that shows my cleavage daring yet gorgeous it was embroidered with rose petals and an off-shoulder type, ruffled skirt ball gown.Mrs. Leigh didn't disappoint. It was pride and pleasure to wear one of her works. I grinned as I ran my fingers into the dress. I glance at the red mascara placed on the table along with the heels I will wear later."Ms. Roana, we have to get ready" Said Caroline, I nodded, then she walks to the bathtub, it was full of roses petals and it smells amazing. I slowly take off my bathrobes and let them slide on my shoulders and handed them to Caroline, I walk slowly and got into the bathtub and, let myself sink inside. I sigh as I lay down the bathtub enough to reach my neck.I stayed for a couple of minutes and decided to stand up and Caroline handed me new bathrobes. I wear it

Everything was chaos. I can smell the blood from everywhere, I look around and saw that bodies were lying on the floor, cold and dead. I gasp for air trying to process everything. I followed Corro's butler while carrying the shirt and pants in my hands.We reach the master's room and he motioned the opened door after he opened it and handed me the card. It was Corro's key card. I walk inside the room and sigh, my body is aching and I am sweaty because of the gown I am wearing, Corro was still busy commanding his people and tracking down who did it and who is behind the attack that happened on the winter ball. I sat on the bed and slowly laying my back on bed.I still wonder who did it and why did Henry recognize me instantly though no one knows that I am under Corro's hands. I walk to the bathroom and remove my gown then I turned on the

After two days, we decided to go to Boston since I feel a lot better. Morning sickness is enjoying its vacation and I can't even eat properly without puking because of my pregnancy. "Are you okay?" Corro ask. I just nodded and hug myself as I can feel the cold wind envelope my body. "How was the investigation?" I ask him, I turn my head to him and stare at him. He then walks near me and hugs me from behind. "We already bring them to the quarter and making them spill the information but it seems like they are trained to die than to tell," I can sense the frustration in his voice, my brows furrowed as I look at the sea again in front of his mansion. The guards are surrounding the area, and it was tripled since it's too dangerous to let our guards down. I blink twice, thinking of what he said. People from their circle think that loyalty is greater than life. Why do people value loyalty but never

It's been a week since the tattooed guy happened, since then I didn't dream again of something like that which was making me more bothered as days goes by."Roana," Corro whispered, he was hugging me from the back. "Hmm?" I responded, I held his hands intertwined in mine."Are you okay? you've been kind of bothered lately, what's in that pretty head of yours?" He asks as he was showering my shoulder with kisses. "The tattooed man, my dreams that was bothering me," I said, honestly."Let me take care of that for you, stress is bad for you and our baby," He said, sounded concerned. I just nodded and shrug the thought off. We would have enjoyed our stay here but it's too dangerous to go out. Since the incident, we already move somewhere more peaceful and away from the city."I know, I just can't help it, and don't worry our baby is fine," I said. I face him and hu

"Mina," I heard him called me, I look at him he was now looking at me with disgust in his eyes. Senyor Marcus, crooked his head while looking down at me."Senyor Marcus," I said acknowledging him. I bowed my head a little and fidgeted with my hands. I am nervous with his presence his dominant aura was screaming, the perfect built and thick brows, thin lips, and hooded eyes scream power, the perfectly combed makes it scarier to look at."What are you looking little brat?" he roared, my tears are now trying to fall from my eyes I held it firmly in my eyes, I don't want to anger him more."Marcus, leave the poor child alone," A woman in her mid-fifties came in, holding Senyor Marcus arms, she then looks at me and smiled.I want to sigh and thank the lady who was now looking at me gently and her smile is so vibrant, making me calm a bit.

Despite the hectic schedule because of the sudden illness of Roana, I get to experience what she had, her life, people being polite to you, the luxury, and I can say that it's much easier this way and I want it this way.I look at the maids who are now murmuring at each other, giggling my forehead furrowed."Miss Roana," I can hear a man's voice behind me, to where I was sitting. I turn my head to look at the person behind me. "Who are you?" I ask him, I was now facing him. He has this arrogant smirk on his face, the thick well-carved brows deep-set blue colored of hooded eyes, pointed nose and slightly pouty lips, and well-defined jaws screaming looks and power. I raised a brow as I saw him look at me bluntly from head to toe."Are you done?" I ask him, I heard him cleared his throat and looked at me with amazement dancing in his eyes. "Feisty," He said, I folded my arms in my chest and look at

The day was busy, we had a little meeting about the place of our meeting on how we would like it to look like. I already told the organizer that I want it simple since it's a garden wedding and an intimate one. I choose tulips and hydrangeas as one of the flowers that will be decorated here on the garden.I sigh and look at the catalog of wedding gowns. I then saw a gown that caught my eyes it was a bohemian wedding dress, styled with 3d flowers and low scoop back and tulle flowing skirt. I look at the designer while pointing my finger at the picture."I want this one," I said and smiled. She nodded her head and ordered her staff to get the measuring tape then they measured me then talk a few more about how would I like it to look like if there's something I need to add or maybe change in the design, I just shake my head and smile, we finish the day busy on the preparations."You d

The preparations went well, I had fun talking to the organizers and looking at their works they're magnificent. Corro was always out because of work and making sure that everything was going smoothly, it's been a month since we stayed here.I yawn and look at the clock, I am exhausted by just doing nothing guess it's a pregnancy thing, I smiled and caress my belly a baby bump was already showing off. I leaned on the sofa and look at the magazine I was looking at, I glance at my journal and decided to reach for it.I opened the journal and saw the folded paper that the anonymous person left, I didn't know who sent it and who made it there's nothing unusual happening, and the attacks are stopped but Corro didn't bring his guards down because he wants to make sure that everything is fine up to our wedding day at least.I folded the letter back and put it back in my journal, I di

"Moma!" I smiled when I saw her running towards me, I chuckled as I saw him stop panting and tired of running. It's been 6 years since I left home and live here peacefully, I still visit them often and do my responsibilities but I want my life here away from the crowd, the suffocating life of the city tires me. "Careful, Leira," I said when she was now running again towards me.I heard Isaac's voice behind me. "Leira, be careful!" I shake my head and laugh as Leira was now near us panting. "This girl is too energetic for her age," Isaac blurted out, I nodded and wipe Leira's sweats on her forehead and her back.
Lie a Little 29. Final Chapter
I can see the reflection of the moon on the water, the beautiful and fascinating light reflects on the shore. I raise my thumb, closing my one eyes as I aim it at the moon I smiled as I can see that they're right, everywhere you go the moon will never be bigger than your thumb. I shiver as I feel the cold breeze of night brushes off my skin, inhaling it as I rub myself, warming my arms the ease the coldness, breathing in and out, closing my eyes.After what happened I left everyone, no one knows where I was or where I would go. I caress my belly feeling the bump there-- weeks after I went here in Sta.

"Leave us alone," I ordered my men, I then removed the gloves on my hand as I stare at him-- helplessly lying on the ground, unable to move. I croaked my neck to the side as I scan his body his shirt was full of bloodstains from his wounds. I crinkled my nose as I can smell the dried blood and fresh blood from him."Livv Timothy Markovs," Saying his name out loud, I then reach for the dagger place on the suitcase above the table, playing it with my finger. "You had no idea, do you?" I asked, mocking and laugh a little as I look at the dagger in my hand."You have to be careful who to trust," I said, the side of his lips tugs upward as he laughs mocking my question, I look at him as he cough in blood, raise his gaze to me and look me directly in the eyes."Funny to say that you did trust me too- once, Mina," he said, coughing between every word. I raise my brow as I saw him struggling with his every word but m

"Hold him," I can hear the voices around me, I close my eyes as the blindfold was lifted off my face, trying to get used to the light I blink my eyes a few times and slowly opened it after. I saw the man who drags me far from Mina last week. I clearly remember how it happened, how she smiled at me when she stabs me, on how she furiously screamed in anger holding a gun-- she was gone, the Mina I once love-- I don't clearly remember how or what happened but all I know is I killed her child and lied to her and as Henry secretly protected all of them it was their plan--- I clenched my fist, as I tried to escape off this chain in my wrists. The man turned my chair to face the monitor I look around and see nothing but white walls and heavily tinted glass, and I was just there watching what was happening. "What's happening?" I asked, more li

I sigh as I look at the silk long gown I was wearing, it's not comfortable and I don't know why. I groaned annoyingly as I look at my reflection in the mirror, I heard my sister chuckled, I saw her reflection on the mirror looking lovely on her silk knee-length slit red gown. She shakes her head as she walks near me still smiling. "What?" I ask her, she smiled and brings both of her hands to my cheeks, caressing them while looking intently into my eyes. "I do adore you, Mina, and thank you for fighting for us," She sincerely said, I smiled and bring my hands to her shoulders stroking them gently and pat her back. "Of course, I would do that without blinking an eye I promise to keep you both safe," I whispered and hug her. I close my eyes as I remember everything, how I sacrificed things, made bad choices, and selfish decisions just to keep them safe. I sigh to avoid tearing up and ruin my makeup. I push her a little and smiled. "Now, we

I opened the door and saw him sitting there, his hands and feet are tied down in a built-in chair. I took the gun out of my holster and pulled the barrel of the gun before walking near him, He raises his head, he's guardless and defenseless with his eyes blindfolded.I walk near him and stop in front of him, I then removed the blindfold he blinks his eyes multiple times as he opened his mouth. "Where am I?" He asks me."Somewhere," I answered him. I then look at him intently croaking my neck to the side as I was staring at him. I just stood there not saying anything, a gun in my hand and him sitting in front of me not saying anything."You know, Livv," I trailed off, I then raise the gun looking at it while I ran my finger in its body I then look at him. "I used to love you, adore you," I added, "But after I learned everything that you've been doing behind my ba

"Mina, Darling," My Mom said, a tear escaped my eyes as I felt her warm embracing me. I close my eyes and hug her back. I opened my eyes and saw her-- The woman who once was Corro's wife, a bitter pang of emotion ripped into me as I look at her, we had the same face, from eyes to lips. I shrug the thought off and smiled a little at her. She slowly walks near us with tears in her eyes. I let go of our Mother as I waited for her to come near us."Mina," She whispered, a bitterness was gone off my thought once her gentle hand caress mine, I close my eyes and look at her, she then caress my cheeks with her either hand biting her lips trying to suppress a sob. "Roana, I'm sorry," I said, sobbing as I pulled her close into a hug."I'm sorry, forgive me," I whispered, stroking her back gently while crying on her shoulder, she hushes me and gently pats my back, comforting me. I push her back gently and look at her f

I close my eyes as I saw the report. I knew this would happen, how Mina? I swallowed hard as I open my eyes again staring at the piece of paper I was holding, I had a hint but didn't confront her for it. "Master," I heard my butler called me, I turn my head to him and look at him. I tried to calm myself down and sigh. "What?" I answered, he opens his palm and handed me the phone. "We already removed the tracker," He said, I look at his face seriously. He carefully places the phone on the table. "You can go now," I said, I stare at the phone and slouched on the sofa. I reach for the phone on the table and leaned back on the sofa. Papa was right, she will be the lead to my downfall, I expected it but damn this hurt and I can't seem to do something to her, not even an inch. Why Mina? why do you hate me that much? what makes you hate me that much? I sigh and leaned on the sofa, thinking wh

I wrap my hand around the mug as I feel the warmth of the cup, the soothing type of warmth. I inhaled the aroma of the coffee, taking a small sip of the coffee from the cup."How was it?" I ask Henry, he taps his fingers on the table and glances at me. "He's gone, I can't find him," He said, I hummed and look at the monitor, the signal of his tracker just got lost from our vision, I carefully place the mug at the table and looks at the monitor Henry was looking.Something's not right.I thought, I then look again at the monitor there's a red dot blinking again, my brows furrowed as I look at the monitor. "What's that? why is it blinking again, something is not right Henry," I said and pointed to the red dot that has been blinking for a few seconds now."I'll try to zoom in the location," Henry said, tapping on his keyboar
