Vanna's POV
We quickly took care of the necessary paperwork, and Magnus also arranged our island wedding in the Maldives. Everything happened fast, and we didn't waste any time. Magnus called his staff to manage his business temporarily. He also sent his secretary, Roxane, to the Maldives to look after and take care of Ysay while we focused on preparing for the wedding. I also sent Paris to the Maldives to be my maid of honor. Three more of our friends, Georgina, Raquel, and Romary, also joined Paris.
Paris brought Alfred, my personal butler, to accompany Roxane in taking care of Ysay while Magnus and I were busy. Magnus had already told Ysay that he was her missing father, who was busy with work and staying at a convent with the nuns, which is why her parents didn't work out.
Luckily, Ysay was a smart child and didn't have trouble understanding.
By this time, we were already in the Maldives. Kuya Vittos also came with Paris and Alfred to support Magnus.
Magnus' POV"I'll take her," I said to Vanna's butler. I clenched my fists, trying to avoid starting a fight. I've been watching him closely, always following Vanna wherever she goes. I acknowledge that it's his job, but jealousy lingers inside me. I just don't show it."Here you go," he slowly handed me Vanna, who had fallen asleep due to intoxication. Before Alfred could turn away, I gave him a menacing look. He avoided my gaze, as if he could read what I meant."You may leave now.""Yes, Sir."As he turned away, I slowly made my way to our resthouse. There's only one room in the main lounge, while Ysay and Roxane's room is at the back. The rowtype rooms for guests are by the poolside.Once inside, I gently laid her on the wide sofa bed. I closed the sliding glass door and drew the white cream satin curtains.I quietly observed her peaceful form. I was tempted this time, but I resisted the urge, as I wasn't in a hurry. I'll wait for her to decide
Vanna's POVI feel the rays of light touching my skin. I slowly open my eyes and yawn. As I realize the pain from my center, I become more enlightened. I scan my eyes...there's someone on my abdomen, his head resting on my stomach. Shit!I realize I am naked. No! Actually, both of us are...before jumping to conclusions, I check who it was that embraced me.And I just found Magnus' peaceful face, fast asleep."Oh my freaking holy molly sweet Jesus!" I cover my mouth. I slowly slide my legs out from under his weight, carefully moving away and sitting on the edge. I still feel the pain. I become more alarmed when I see the red kiss marks on my legs and stomach, it seems he satisfied his cravings using my body. I massage my head, it's also a bit painful due to the hangover.I drank too much last night, I didn't even know what Paris, Georgina, Raquel, and Romary gave me.Damn it!I hold onto the bedside table and try my best to stand up an
Magnus' POVI am nervous at this moment, I know that there is no turning back right now, no reason to reconsider any plans. I stand in the room, looking in the full-body mirror, deep in thought at this time.Luckily, Vittos, Peruvian, and Aries are here, just arriving. Austin also said he would follow. They fully support my decision. Vittos even poured a drink into a crystal glass and handed it to me."Drink, bro. You've been silent all this time, you might forget to speak later. Just calm down," Vittos tapped me.Aries is on the couch smoking."So, tell me, man... what's the plan now?"I glance at him. "Not now, Aries.""You should celebrate now, Magnus. Forget about your company for now, you have plenty of staff, why worry?" Vittos chimes in.Inside, my friend has no idea about my intentions with Vanna. I don't want to talk to him, I don't want our friendship to be tainted. Vittos is different from the other children of Doña V
Vanna's POVAfter the wedding, we immediately headed to the venue where ten round tables were set up, adorned with beautiful linens and flower decorations. The chairs were gold, enhancing the overall arrangement of the area. It was open air with a beautiful view of the ocean.Magnus had been holding my hand the whole time, not letting go since earlier, as if afraid of losing me like a prized possession.I just followed him.As of now, the program is starting with a captivating intermission dance performed by my friends. Paris, Romary, Georgina, and Raquel were dancing energetically to Beyonce's song 'Who run the world', and they even pulled me to join them. Luckily, I knew the dance steps well as we often danced to this song at the club.Magnus was seated on a chair while Aries, Vittos, Peruvian, and Austin surrounded him.They watched the five of us dance daringly, their eyes widening as they saw Paris do a split, Georgina bend over, Romary
Vanna's POVThe next morning. I woke up because of the cool breeze. Magnus was still sound asleep from the previous night. We were so happy on the island, especially since our island shotgun wedding turned out beautifully.I went out of the villa and took a walk outside. I wasn't wearing any shoes. I also wore a robe to cover my silk night dress.I didn't realize I was already by the seaside. It was still a bit dark because it was only five in the morning. Not far away, I saw a familiar man, sitting on the beach early in the morning drinking canned beer.It was one of Magnus' employees."Uh, excuse me. Um, good morning..." he was surprised by my presence.If I am not mistaken, this was Magnus' right-hand man, Jay. Like Vittos, he was a tall guy, slightly tan with beautiful eyes, handsome enough that if I didn't know he was Magnus' employee, I would mistake him for a model."Good morning, ma'am," he politely greeted. I smiled. Even tho
Magnus' POVUpon arriving in Manila, I immediately headed to the Shaw residence. I wanted to talk to Vanna and make sure nothing bad happened to her. I asked Roxane and Alfred to take care of my daughter, I didn't want to add to my worries. I was a bit nervous as I drove up to their open gate.I walked through their large mansion, looking for Vanna.I came across an elderly woman. It was her nanny."Manang, where is Vanna?""Oh, sir, she's with ma'am Paris. She's staying with them for now.""Do you know where?""Oh, I'm not sure, but you can call her brother Vlad. He's the one who took them.""Alright, thank you." I quickly left and got into my car. I called Vittos to get Vlad's number.Vittos left me after the incident, as he had his own business to attend to.I was in the car with the phone in hand at that moment. It rang and he answered quickly."Oh, are you already at the house?" Vittos asked."She
Vanna's POV"Shit! Where am I!" I immediately sat up, but I felt dizzy. Seriously! I had no idea where I was.I looked around the room. I can’t tell where I am right now. I saw the ceiling and a wooden post, and it seemed to be raining because I could hear water dripping into a bucket placed beneath it."Oh, you're awake..." I turned to see a man's voice. I was even more shocked when I saw him. This can't be happening. Maybe I'm just imagining things."It's you..." I said in surprise to Allan, my first love. The man I had wronged so much. My parents had him expelled from school, which was why he could no longer continue his studies.I clutched my chest. I’m certain he was the one who helped me back then."Allan..."He smiled and walked closer to me, holding a cup of coffee."I'm glad you remember me," he said as he sat down in front of me. I couldn't speak right away. I seemed to have lost my voice while taking in his signi
Magnus’ POVAfter confronting her, I decided to accept her apology. But my happiness prevailed because nothing happened to her. At that moment, Vanna and I talked outside. Her friends allowed us some time to reflect in the park in Baguio. We visited popular tourist spots first, taking pictures at the lion's head and then at the famous Burnham Park. We spent some time there riding a small boat, with the lake in view. Vanna remained quiet, seemingly deep in thought.I wanted to reach out to her, but I waited for her to open up... "Magnus, I wanted to say something, I hope you'll listen," she began. "I'm listening." "Magnus, I just want to know from you if it's true that... you have a Cartel. Is it true you have a group aside from your businesses? What exactly do you do, Magnus? I have the right to know now, don't I? I am now your wife." Her statement compelled me to gather my strength.I cleared my throat and responded, "Yes, I am. I'm not a businessman; I'm a mafia." I admitted. I noti
