Magnus' POVI am sitting next to Vanna now, and the sleeping child is beside me. We are on our way to Zamboanga. Everything is quiet except for the music playing on the airplane's audio system.The interior design is flawless, with a combination of cream and black colors shining inside. The leather texture seats are brown, matching the elegant carpet below, suitable for six to eight persons. There are tables and a mini bar enclosure in the back for drinks.I have spoken to the pilot and two cabin crew members. Besides that, I have also paid for assistance on all my flights using the airplane.I was deep in thought when I noticed Vanna rolling her eyes at me."What?" I asked her.She just frowned and looked at the child sleeping on my lap. She was leaning on me comfortably."What about this child?" she pointed at the sleeping child."We will find his parents," I firmly replied. I don't want to stress about it. I can talk to many people to handle it."Annoying!" I heard her mumble softl
Magnus' POVWe arrived at the private helipad in Aklan at that time, just waiting for our ride. I noticed Vanna was quiet and seemed not in the mood.Beside me, Ysay was fast asleep due to exhaustion. I let her rest for a bit since we still had time. I went to Vanna's side and sat down."Hey, are you still upset?" She didn't look at me, just stared into space."I'll help you; I asked my friend about your brother's name. I'm having him looked for." My words seemed to grab her attention."Really?" Her expression was a bit off."Yes. Now, if you want my help, please treat me better, don't give me attitude.""Fine. I'm easy to talk to." She said with a big smile. She easily tugged at my ear."I need a sooner update, okay?" she added with another smile."Let's go." I said, taking her hand. She stood up quickly. I decided to carry Ysay and we proceeded, heading down the airplane and getting into the waiting car. Vanna held my arms as I guided her. I don't know, but my feelings were unfamili
Vanna's POVI had just finished changing into my pajamas when I couldn't sit still while applying lotion on my arms. Magnus was already in bed, waiting for me.With each step towards him, my heart pounded harder, as if there were cats and dogs chasing after inside my heart.Damn it!"What are you standing there for? Come here." He called me over, patting the space beside him.Damn it! I walked over with bitten lips, my nerves trembling. I held my own muscles, allowing myself to approach him. As I got closer, he guided me on purpose."You smell luxurious.""Of course." I hid the trembling in my voice."Now tell me, do you prefer the lights on or off?"I gulped, unsure of what to say. I didn't know if I could even sleep, knowing that Magnus Daviro would be by my side.Shit! I didn't notice his body getting closer to mine. I felt warmth."Are you okay?" He asked me."I'm... I'm... I guess I need to chan
Magnus' POVUpon arriving in Manila, I immediately met Jay. He followed me to the Philippines because of a favor I asked for. He will be handling my transaction to Guam. Honestly, I am a bit annoyed at what happened because the allocation within our group and our partner in Guam was once again chaotic.When we descended into a secluded abandoned building location owned by Jay, I saw him with some of our men."What's the matter?" I asked. I was also accompanied by some private civilian bodyguards who have been with me since Vanna and I landed here. I didn't tell Vanna, but they were undercover for my preference, as Vanna wanted no bodyguards in the Philippines."Magnus, I suggest we need to negotiate with the officials in Guam."As I approached Jay, the distance between us was almost nose-to-nose. He knew I was angry with him. I stared directly into his eyes."Give me some reason why I should trust you...again, Jay."I saw him gulp and clear his thr
Vanna's POVEven though I was a bit tipsy, I deliberately went to see that guy. I have a strong feeling that he is the one who took Ysay. After all, he was the only one who managed to enter our exclusive rental villa. As I scanned the beachline, I noticed the lighthouse benches and lined chaises. I looked around the patio area and the poolside, but there was no one there as Magnus rented it for a week."Ugh! Where is that jerk? I'll really give that kidnapper a piece of my mind!" I was a little out of it due to the alcohol.When I reached the parking lot, I saw him at just the right moment, that nerve face!He smiled at me like he was waiting for me to arrive."Hey!" I snapped.I approached him and pointed a finger at him."Where's Ysay! Did you kidnap her, huh?"I peered into the window of his parked car."My god! Did you rape Ysay!?" I hysterically accused him to his face."Hey, calm down!" he said as he grabbed my arm. I quickly d
Vanna's POVWe 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
