Chapter 9AlexisThat annoying Zac left me here at the mansion again. I'm getting bored being stuck here with no one to talk to except the strict headmaid. I couldn't even enjoy the view. It's so boring!I want to escape! But the bodyguards are scattered all around. What a sad life.But you know me, I love adventures. Let's escape, friends!I snuck into the empty kitchen, searching for the Chef's uniform. But, it was not in favor of me, only a maid's uniform was available. This will do. I'll add some glasses so I won't be recognized. To be fair, the maid's uniform looks good on me. The only problem is that my body is too sexy, making it seem like I'm just cosplaying as a maid. Hehe, the sexy maid in the making!Here I go! I'm exiting through the gate. The guards and bodyguards aren't paying attention to me.Just as I am about to escape... Ouch! My face collided with something, and it hurt so much. My nose is fuming with anger. "You, pick up all the fruits that you damaged!" t
Chapter 10AlexisOh my goodness, meeting his parents was a total disaster! After that humiliating dinner, I went straight to my room and didn't come out again. I looked so beautiful, and then I got choked! It's hard for me to imagine and picture how I looked at that time. All I know is that I screamed at the top of my lungs when I saw my face in the mirror!Who wouldn't be shocked? My eyes looked worse than a panda's - they were black and blue. My lipstick was smeared everywhere.They said my mascara was waterproof, but that was a scam! My beautiful eyes ended up with black eyes. Waterproof, my ass! No wonder Zac and his dad couldn't stop laughing. They were staring at my face. So annoying!But Mom was still floating on air, dreaming of having grandchildren. My beauty is stressing me out, huhu now, Zac will say that we'll visit his parents' mansion again.What does he think I am? I don't want to die twice!"NO WAY! You go there alone. Your mom is even more stubborn than I am,
Chapter 11AlexisWe're already at the airport, and Mom and I are getting emotional. Mom is pouring her heart out while saying goodbye to us. But I'm the best actress, after all! I'm crying too."Please stop crying, Mom. We'll be back, or you and Dad can visit us, okay?" I comforted her while patting her back. I'm the best daughter-in-law in the world!"I'll miss you, my daughter-in-law," Mom said, tearfully, and then hugged me again."Don't worry, Mom. We might visit again soon," I reassured her, but she just cried.And with that, the drama between the mother and daughter-in-law came to an end. We finally boarded, and I'm ready to meet my Bebe Rond! I miss him so much. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach, thinking about his handsome face."Fasten your seatbelt," Zac called me. I'm very excited, haha!"Done, thanks Zac," I answered with a smile."No need to thank me," he said, returning his attention to his laptop. "We had a deal. Just enjoy your date."This guy is a workaholi
Chapter 12AlexisI'm so bored! I'm not allowed to go out. They're guarding me 24/7, and Dad increased the number of bodyguards inside and outside. He's unbelievable! To make things worse, Rond texted me that we would have a date today. I'm so frustrated! Zac can't do anything, he can't go against my tiger dad.It's Valentine's Day, and I was excited to go on a date with my love, Rond. I'm also super excited to see what surprise gift he has for me. I texted him that I might not be able to make it, but he hasn't replied. Where could Rond be? I'm feeling sad now. What kind of life is this?Someone knocked on the door. I'm too lazy to get up and open it. I don't feel like standing up."Girl, are you deaf?" Debbie shouted while knocking. "Open up, Alexis, and let's catch up! Tell us about your honeymoon," Lara arrived, followed by another knock. "Girl, we're dying out here!" Joanna exclaimed dramatically.Wow, the trio is complete! What's going on, and why did they suddenly show up?
Chapter 13DebbieAlexis looked stunningly beautiful in her emerald-long gown. My best friend is gorgeous. Zac is one lucky guy. However, Alexis's heart beats only for Rond, and Zac's heart seems to belong to someone else - it's a mystery. Zac is enigmatic, and his actions are hard to read, but I'm sure he's not interested in Alexis. If that's the case, what's the point of their wedding? As of now, Alexis hasn't told me about the real status between her and Zac.They looked lovely dancing together like they were deeply in love. And then Zac surprised us with his face reveal - our jaws dropped! The three of us were stunned by his handsome looks. I have to admit, I was drooling. It's embarrassing, but it happened. And those gray eyes added to his charisma! It's like you're drawn to him when he looks at you. But of course, we can only admire it from afar. I have a boyfriend, by the way - but it's a secret.In fairness, Zac was thoughtful to surprise Alexis, especially on Valentine
Chapter 14AlexisI was shocked when Bebe suddenly pulled me. He didn't tell me that he was coming. "Bebe, where are we going?" I asked.k"To the restaurant that I booked," he replied nonchalantly.I stayed quiet, remembering that he invited me because he had a surprise gift. I didn't know Zac had a surprise too, and I couldn't leave the mansion. Daddy locked me in my room.Poor Bebe. The restaurant is quite far away, located in a hotel. But I must say, it's beautiful.Debbie just texted me that she and Lara are heading home! Oh no, my strict Daddy must be looking for me now. Rond got my phone!"Bebe, why?" I asked, furrowing my brow."That's enough. I want you to be mine today. Just leave it all behind!" Bebe said, still angry. "Sorry, I couldn't leave because Daddy wouldn't let me," I said sweetly, caressing his arms. We're so sweet together!Oh my, Bebe's surprise is amazing! The tables are arranged with red roses. I'm overwhelmed by all these roses!Wait, how about Zac? Is he
Chapter 15AlexisHelp me, huhuhu... It seems like I always land on Zac's lap! And Zac's eyes are filled with desire? This is the first time I've seen him like this!"Zac, calm down, okay? Let me get up first," I slowly got up from his lap. But when you're having bad luck, it just keeps going. I tripped again, and this time, I landed on top of him. Oh my!What a joke of Destiny. How can Zac calm down now? And OMG! What's this? There's something hard pressing against my stomach? Don't tell me... I quickly got up to see what the hard thing was!"Ahhh!" I shouted and ran to the side. "Hey! Zac, you're so mean! Stop that. I don't want to get pregnant yet. You said that it's not the right time, remember?" I covered my eyes.But, girls, there's a small hole in my hand, hehe. I can still see him!Zac just smiled and laughed. "You're always funny. Can you help me get up?" he asked.And where is this guy going? "Why? Don't tell me you're going out. Looking like that?" I asked with
Chapter 16AlexisI need to get out, no matter what! Let's try to charm Zac, haha. He's eating. "Hi Zac, want an apple?" I ask cutely. But he ignores me! "Sorry, please," I say with a pout. But he's still unresponsive!How do I cheer him up? "Want a banana?" I ask, quickly grabbing one. "Stop it, Alexis. Just tell me what you want," Zac says without looking at me. This guy is so snobbish! But I'll be patient; after all, patience is a virtue.I'll be honest. "Aren't you heading to the office after lunch? Can I hitch a ride? Debbie and I just want to go shopping." I ask sweetly, batting my eyelashes. "Tell me the truth, and maybe I'll let you," he says with a smile. "Okay, I have a surprise revenge planned for Joanna," I say quietly, careful not to be overheard by Daddy's bodyguards. They're so annoying, even stricter than Zac's bodyguards!"You're joking?" Zac asks, still smiling. "Do I look like I'm joking? I'm serious! Let's make her pay for what she did to you." I say s
Chapter 36AlexisThis is it – we were all at the airport, and it was time to say goodbye to my family. I felt an overwhelming sadness wash over me. I'd been crying in the car earlier, clinging to Mommy as we hugged tightly. I will miss her, and Daddy too, despite his constant scolding. And Grandpa... who would cook chicken soup and call me "little princess?"The thought of living without them, even though I can still see them, is unbearable. I don't think I can handle it."Shh, show them you can do it. Don't show them you're weak. They'll just worry more," Zac whispered, holding me close. Thankfully, his amnesia had brought out this side of him, and I had him to lean on now. He'd been my rock these days, always there for me and being sweet. But what would happen when the real Zac returned? Would he still be sweet to me? Probably, but as a friend and little sister, not as...more. Why was I even thinking about that now? Don't get too attached, Alexis! Shut up, brain, you're a
Chapter 35AlexisFinally, Zac was discharged from the hospital. Mom had calmed down a bit after her tantrums towards him. Now, we're at our mansion, where Mommy and Daddy are hosting a despidida party. I didn't want to attend, but Mom and Debbie encouraged me. Lara's also here, so our group is complete, except for the traitor Joanna. She got her revenge on me, but I still hope karma catches up to her. They're all having a great time, and it's lovely to see them so happy. We're having a barbecue party in our heart-shaped pool. Grandpa's happily jumping around in the water, while Mommy and Daddy are sweetly eating together at the table. I wish I could have a love life like my parents.Mom wouldn't let Lara go, and they were chatting away - I'm not sure what they're talking about, but good luck to Lara with Mom's antics! Dad was shaking his head, watching them. The real highlight is Hector and Debbie, they're so sweet, it's like they're glued together. I'm happy for my friend,
Chapter 34AlexisI felt embarrassed about that! Debbie is silly! Zac's facial expression is unreadable. I quickly stood up and pulled Debbie outside. "Zac, we're just going to get some fresh air outside, okay?" I said, taking my leave. "Go ahead," he replied curtly. But Debbie slipped out of my grasp."Wait a minute, girl," she quickly walked over to Hector. And kissed his lips! Debbie, you're so shameless. Zac seemed unfazed, so I looked away, trying to avoid the awkwardness. "We're stepping out for a bit, babe," Debbie said sweetly, after devouring, I mean, kissing Hector's lips. "Take care," he replied and gently held her face."Ahem! We're just going outside, not to Canada, haha. Let's go!" I pulled Debbie away. Meanwhile, the two of them were still gazing lovingly at each other. Good grief, some people just have all the luck. But I am happy that my friend has finally found her soulmate. What about me? Not Rond. He was already with his demonic fiancée. I felt an ove
Chapter 33AlexisDaddy entered my room first. He is quite calm now, and his face wasn't as fierce as it usually was, like a tiger. What happened to Daddy? "Sit down, Daddy," I invited him. He sat down on the couch and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry for what happened in your life, especially about your marriage," he said softly.Daddy looks sad! "It's okay, Daddy. As long as I don't have to be a Mafia, I'm fine with it," I replied."I looked for trouble when I fell in love with your Mom," he said, shaking his head. "But I love her, and I'm willing to do anything for her. Yet, you've been the one to suffer." He continued, "I arranged for you to marry Zac for our family's protection. Since he's indebted to your grandfather, he agreed." Daddy said."Protection? But Zac isn't a Mafia, is he?" I asked, confused. "Yes, he's not," he explained. "But their family is one of the most powerful in the country and internationally. They have many connections with powerful mafias, like his frien
Chapter 32AlexisI was taken aback by what I heard from Grandpa and Mommy. Daddy was quiet, and I was shocked! My tiger-like dad suddenly vanished.But what? I'm the next Mafia Queen? The Crazy Queen seems more fitting. Oh my gosh, what's happening? Is this the punishment for my past sins? Being lazy, always partying, and all the other crazy things I did before.It does sound cool, but I still don't want it! I can't handle all the killing and shooting. But, to be fair, I have Italian blood, haha. Oh, I'm so beautiful! "We are the most powerful and famous Mafia Group, not just in Italy, but in the entire Mafia World!" Grandfather began. My popcorn is taking too long! I had it cooked especially for Grandpa's storytelling. "Wait, Grandpa! Let me get my popcorn first, hehe." I said, scratching my head.He just laughed at my craziness. I quickly ran to the kitchen. The popcorn is already cooked. I took it out and sprinkled a generous amount of cheese powder on it. Grab one wate
Chapter 31Third Person POVHector didn't know how to tell Debbie. He just wanted to test her, to see how far her love for him would go. He had been betrayed before and didn't want it to happen again. So, he just said whatever came to mind to Debbie. But he didn't expect to fall for Debbie's beauty and sense of humor."So, what's going on, Hector? Or maybe that's not even your real name?" Debbie asked, her voice laced with frustration.The bubbly, lively, and loud Debbie had been replaced by a serious and unenthusiastic one. Who could blame her? She was deeply hurt when she found out Hector was married, but she continued the relationship because it was the first time she had fallen in love."Babe," Hector said softly. "Don't call me that. What about your so-called wife? What's your term of endearment for each other?" Debbie asked angrily. "Fine, I'm sorry. I have no wife, and I've been hiding my identity," Hector said seriously. He dropped the bombshell to avoid further questio
Chapter 30AlexisI cried and cried until no more tears would come out. My sorrow is overwhelming! Why is this happening? It seemed even sadder than Rond's engagement! I clung to Zac, and suddenly, he moved! His hand stirred. I sit down and look at him. Slowly, he open his eyes. Hallelujah!Thank God Zac is finally awake."Zac?" I asked joyfully. And due to my overwhelming happiness, I hugged him tightly. But he immediately pushed me away!Damn you, Ugly. "Who are you?" he asked, furrowing his brow. Oh no, don't tell me? The door opens, and the doctor and Grandpa entered!"Zac, you're awake now!" Grandpa exclaimed with extreme joy. "Mr. Night? What are you doing in here?" Zac asked, puzzled. It's unfair! He recognizes Grandpa, but I'm a stranger to him. "Hey, Doc, what happened to him?" Grandpa asked seriously. The doctor examined Zac before answering the questions on our minds."He's experiencing temporary amnesia. And all he can remember is his past. But don't worry,
Chapter 29AlexisUgh, it's ridiculous! Every time I hear those annoying thugs mistaking me for Grandpa's lover, I'm like, "What the heck? You're shameless!And the one holding me is ugly! He's even got a big belly. Am I going to faint again? Never! I'll keep fighting!But honestly, I'm getting scared. I feel sorry for Debbie, who won't stop crying and is shaking with fear. Hang in there, Besh! I looked her straight in the eye, hoping she'd understand. "Don't hurt her!" Grandpa shouted, but we're getting close to them."You're so sweet, Night. It seems like just yesterday, you were crying uncontrollably over Amanda's passing. I just can't believe you replaced her so easily." The ugly man was still smiling, but then a glimmer of sadness flashed in Granpa's eyes. He looked like he was about to cry. Is Amanda my grandmother? Poor Grandpa, if she's gone. And that ugly, stupid man is just smiling."Shut up! It's because of your evil son!" Grandpa shouted. And to make matters worse,
Chapter 28AlexisI'm about to cry. I can feel that it's not Manong! It's like a demon version of him, huhu. "Manong, stop the car!" I shouted again, and Manong just grinned at me. Good thing Zac Woke up! "What happened?" he asked, still sounding sleepy. Don't fall asleep again, Zac!"Manong is acting like a demon! And look at the road! This isn't the way home anymore, huhu," I replied tearfully. Zac immediately looked at Manong, and in an instant, he pulled out a gun! This is turning into an action movie again! What's happening to my life, huhu? I'm going to faint, and I'll drool.Not again!No, I must be strong. It's embarrassing! Zac's hands moved swiftly, and he grabbed the gun from Manong. Without hesitation, Zac pulled the trigger, and Manong's head jerked back!I felt like vomiting, but I held it in. I must be strong! Our car screeched to a halt, but Zac quickly grasped the steering wheel and stopped the car at the side of the road. He threw Manong out of the window.
