Cora asked her about their meeting with Antonio. She sat on the couch and breathes heavily. Niccolo sits beside her. "Did he agree to help us?" Cora asked. She's referring to Sir Antonio. Niccolo and Casey exchanged their looks and smiled at each other.
"Yes, Cora. Finally, he agreed to help us. He'll pretend as my father. He'll help us," Casey said with a smile on her face. Cora's face lit up as she heard the good news from her friend."Oh, really?""Yes. He'll help us. I wasn't wrong, Cora. He'll help us no matter what happens. He can't refuse with me," she said. "He'll be here tomorrow. He wants to see you, Cora."Cora smiled. "I really want to see him too, Casey. Did you explain everything to him? And even from the start, huh?" Cora asked.Her friend Casey gave her a nod and smiled at her again."Of course, yes. We explained everything to him. We told the truth about us. We're only pretending as lovers, but we're going to marry each other because of his"I'm happy to see you again, Casey..." Helena told her as she hugged her very tight. Casey gave her a wide smile on her face. "Me too, Mrs. Marquez. I'm so happy to see you again tonight. By the way, I want to introduce to you my father. His name is Antonio," Casey said, introducing Sir Antonio as her father to his parents. Sir Antonio shakes hands with his parents who are very pleased to meet him."Good evening everyone! My name is Antonio. I'm Casey's father and I'm happy to meet the parents of my daughter's fiancé tonight. Finally, we had a chance to meet tonight," he said, smiling."Same with us, Antonio.

Casey was blushing as he asked her with that question. She was speechless. It was her first time to be asked by him to dance. He was her first dance. Niccolo rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to ask her again. "Do you want to dance with me, huh?" Niccolo asked her again. Minutes had passed, but she's not yet answering his questions. Casey licked her lips and nods slowly as a signed that she's agreeing with him to dance. "Let's dance, Niccolo..." she mumbled shyly. Niccolo held her hands and brought her to the dance floor. Casey felt his hands on her waist. They're cheering for them when they saw them dancing gracefully. They clapped their hands too. "Did you experience dancing with someone before?" Niccolo asked her. She frowned. "W-what? Like this, huh?" Casey asked him. Niccolo nods obediently."Yes, Casey. Did you experience dancing with a man before, huh? Wasn't your first time to dance with a man?" Niccolo asked her again. She sighed first before answering
"He kissed you last night. I saw him kissing you. We had seen him kissing you last night, right?" Cora said as they eat their breakfast. Casey took the glass of water in front of her and drink it before she answers her friend Cora."I won't deny the truth to you because you saw him were kissing me last night. Yes, he kissed me, but that's it," Casey replied. She sighed heavily."He's your first kiss, right?" Cora asked her again. Her face looks serious and sighed again. She remembers him kissing her last night. She didn't expect him to kiss her.Casey licked her lips and nods slowly. "Yes, Cora. He's my first kiss. He's not only my first kiss, but he's also my first dance. You know last night was my very first time when it comes to that thing, and I hope you get it," Casey answered. Cora put her hands on her mouth. She couldn't believe it it's her very first time to have it."Oh, really? Was it your very first time, huh? He's your first dance and also your
They went to the church where they'd first met before. They remembered what happened. After having a solemn prayer, they decided to leave the church. As they walked towards his car, he speaks to the two women who are walking silently. "Do you remember what happened in this place, huh?" Niccolo asked them, but his eyes are looking straight to Casey. They both nodded and stopped walking to face him properly."Yes, Niccolo," she said. "We could still remember it." "You bumped into each other, right?" Cora speaks next to her friend Casey. Niccolo gasped for air."Good to hear it. I thought you'd forget it already," he said, wearing his shades. He looks more handsome as he wears it. He caught the attention of the people in that place. The women keep on looking at him."Why would we forget it, huh? No one might forget it, Niccolo. You bumped into each other unexpectedly. I had no idea why it happened before. Maybe the Lord made it to cross your worlds outside the church where He lives. The
"I'm sorry about earlier, Niccolo. Forgive me, please..." Cora said, apologizing to him as they entered his car. Niccolo glanced at her with a frown on his face."What did you say, Cora?" Niccolo asked her. "Why are you asking forgiveness for me, huh? What have you done, huh?" He added. Casey and Cora exchanged looks. Their mouth left open as they heard his answers."I thought you were—" He cut her off. "You thought what, huh?" Cora gasped for air."I thought you were angry with me," she said. Niccolo chuckled. "Are you serious with your answer, huh? Aren't you kidding me, Cora?" He asked her. She nods. "Yes, I'm serious in my answer to you, Niccolo. And I'm not kidding you," she said."Why would I be angry with you, huh? You didn't make things worse against me, Cora. How can I be angry with you? Can you please explain why?" He answered. Cora gasped for air for the second time before she speaks to him."You left us without turning back earlier, Niccolo. We thought you were angry with
"Do you miss your aunt and cousin at the province, huh?" Cora asked her friend. They're sitting on the rock. They're not the only people in the seaside. Most of the people they'd seen are couples. Casey glared at her."Of course not," she said bitterly. "I don't miss them, Cora. It's a nightmare for me to remember those days."Cora nods. "How about the husband of your aunt, your uncle? Did you miss him?"Casey sighed and shook her head. "Yes, Cora. I really missed him. He's the only person who didn't put my life in hell. Even though there's no blood in me running through his veins and he wasn't my father, he treated me as his own daughter," she said, sadly. "But I don't know if he finds out that I wasn't longer living with his wife and daughter. If he finds out, maybe my aunt should tell him lies about me. She won't tell him the truth, Cora.She'll change the story and make me the bad ass. She'll make me the villain in her own story even though she's the real vi
After one week, they went to the bridal salon to choose and buy her wedding dress. Cora was with them. She needs to be with them because she should choose her own dress to wear. Casey chose A-line wedding dress. She just wants to wear a simple wedding dress. "Do you like it, Niccolo?" Casey asked him. He nods quickly. "Oh, yes. It suits for you and I like it." Niccolo gave her a wide smile. Her cheeks turned into red. "You're blushing..." He whispered in her ear. "Why is that, huh?" Her eyes widened and she quickly touched her both cheeks by her sweaty hands. He's smiling at her, but he's waiting for her reply. "Why didn't you answer me, Casey? Is there anything wrong with me?" She looked away and cleared her throat. She sighed sharply."I-I'm n-not blushing..." she stammered. "It's hot here, so my face turns out into red," she lied. But Niccolo wasn't convinced by her answer. "It wasn't hot here. The air-conditioning is so fucking cold as ice, Casey. You're
Casey felt his lips for the second time. It wasn't her first kiss because she had her first kiss at the party last month. The people who have witnessed their wedding clapped their hands as the ceremony ends successfully. The priest had pronounced them husband and wife, and he congratulated them."We're married now, Casey..." he whispered in her ear. "We're husband and wife starting today." She licked her lips and sighed deeply."I know..." she said and gave him a weak smile. "We're married, but you're still in love with someone else." He eyed her and grimaced bitterly. His lips parted and he couldn't say anything to her. Casey was right. He's now married, but he still in love with each other. Her words slapped his own face and he couldn't understand why it was painful to hear coming to her. He had no idea.The photographer took photos after the wedding ceremony has been ended.They're faking their smiles in front of the people who congratulating them. Sir Antonio who pretended as her f
"If I didn't save you that time, what will happen to you?" Niccolo asked her wife as they lay down in their soft and comfy bed. It's twelve midnight, but they are still awake. Casey looked at her husband's eyes and smiled. She shrugs her shoulders and said, "I don't know what will happen to me that time. Thank God because you saved me from being hopeless. You saved me, Mr. Billionaire. My husband saved me and I was so thankful for that."Niccolo stroke her hair and sighed deeply before he speaks to his wife."I saved you because that's the only way for you to be mine. If I didn't save you, do you think you'll be here in my arms, huh? Do you think you would be my wife? Before we got here, we faced a lot of problems and trials. But in the end, we ended up together. You loved me and you didn't forget me easily because I was important to you. And after I was betrayed and cheated on by the woman I trusted, I realized she's not the perfect woman for me. The perfect woman for me is no other t
Casey and her boyfriend Niccolo went to the province where she lives for so many years. She wanted to visit her mother's tomb. She'll introduce her boyfriend to her beloved mother. They bought flowers and lit candles as they arrived at the cemetery. Niccolo could see the name of her mother engraved on the tomb."Mama, I'm visiting you again. I know you're happy to see me again visiting you. But this time, I want to introduce to you my boyfriend. His name is Niccolo Marquez," Casey speaks in front of her mother's tomb. They're both holding their hands.Niccolo let out a deep breath before he speaks to her mother's tomb. He was nervous, but he should speak to the mother of the woman he loves. He should give respect for her even though she's dead and can't bring back to life again."If you're listening to us, I just want to say thank you for raising your daughter very well. She's a strong woman and I couldn't find someone like her again. She's the only one who could be your daughter no m
"Are you ready to announce that we're in a relationship now?" Niccolo asked her as they come out of his room. They're both holding their hands. Casey shook her head and smiled at him."Yes," she said. "I'm ready, but I'm nervous.""Huh? Why are you getting nervous, huh? They would understand everything about us. You have nothing to worry. Everything is fine. My parents would be happy to know about us, baby," Niccolo explained to her."If that's what you want, I won't oppose," she said. Casey took a very deep breath and she felt his lips on her mouth."You're mine now, baby..." He mumbled as he caresses her cheeks. "I love you, baby."When they got to the mansion's garden, Cora asked them abruptly. She's been looking for her friend for almost an hour, but she couldn't find her."Where did you go, huh? I've been looking for you for an hour, but I couldn't find you. Why are you together, huh? I want you to tell me the truth, Casey. Are you—''"Yes, Cora. We're in a relationship now. Nicc
"What are you doing?!" Casey asked him huskily. Both her knees trembled with excitement. She knows what will happen to them inside his room. She could feel his affection for her. Niccolo gave her a sweet smile on his face and cupped her cheeks slowly. His eyes are filled with desire for her. Her heart didn't stop beating so fast as she looked at his handsome face. "I want to show you how much I love you, Casey. I'm not only kissing you to show my love, but I want to be with you tonight," he said slowly. "I know you want me too."She didn't open her mouth to speak, instead she let him do what he really wants with her body. She likes to be touched by him. It's been a long time since she felt his body. She wants to feel his heat too.Niccolo kissed her lips again. Desire and affection were written all over his face. He wanted to feel their bodies both connected with each other. He quickly took off her clothes and slowly massaging her breasts. Casey didn't protest to him, instead she he
"Where have you been?" Casey asked him as she sees him. She can't take her eyes off him. Cora was silently listening to them. Niccolo took a very deep breath and bit his lips before he answers her question."It's not really important for you to know where I came from, Casey. I'm happy you're here. Where's your dad? Did you introduce him to my parents, huh?" He said seriously. Casey licked her lips and nods slowly. "Yes, Niccolo. I introduced my dad to your parents. They're both happy to meet my dad," she said. "But aren't you with someone tonight? I thought you were with someone." He met her eyes."I'm alone tonight, Casey." Niccolo fixed his hair and sighed deeply."Are you sure that you're not with someone, huh? Where are your friends? Where's the woman you loved? I was expecting for you to—" "What?! What do you expect, Casey?" Niccolo blurted out. "Can you please tell what you expect from me tonight? I want to know.""Never mind about it," she said slowly. Niccolo quickly grabbe
Niccolo is about to leave the house, but he sees the maid holding a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Casey. His eyes got bigger and grimaced bitterly. He quickly opened his mouth to speak to him."Who gave you that bouquet of flowers, huh?" Niccolo asked her abruptly. "I never knew there's someone giving you a bouquet of flowers." Casey looked at him seriously. "Why are you asking, huh?" Casey asked him. "I thought you're leaving now."Niccolo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want to know, Casey. Who gave that bouquet of flowers, huh?" He answered.Casey let out a deep breath before answering to him. Niccolo couldn't wait to hear her answer. "Michael gave this bouquet of flowers to me," she announced to him. His eyes got bigger again. "W-what?! Are you sure, huh?!" Niccolo asked her seriously. She shook her head and bit her lower lip."Yes. Can't you see his name on the card?" Casey said, showing the small card with a short message on it. His
Michael and Casey went to the mall the next day. Casey doesn't want to be with him, but she had no choice. She doesn't want to disappoint her dad, so she agreed with him. They ate lunch together. They watched movies at the cinema. They're getting to know each other. "Did you enjoy the day?" Michael asked her as they entered his car. The time is seven o'clock in the evening. Casey was tired the whole day. She shook her head and licked her lips before she speaks to him."Yes, I enjoyed the day with you, Michael. How about you? Did you enjoy the whole day having fun, huh?" She said, smiling. Casey appreciates him. Michael is so caring man. She could feel in his eyes that he has a feeling for her. He gave her a wide smile and shakes his head. "Yes, of course. I enjoyed the whole day with you, Casey. Do you want to have fun with me again, huh?" Michael said happily. She shrugs her shoulders."Well, it depends on the situation, Michael. If I wasn't busy with my studies, we can have fun aga
"Oh, what's happening to you? Why are you crying, huh?" Cora asked her when she sees her friend crying in their bedroom.She quickly wipes her tears, but her friend Cora saw her already. She sits properly and looked at her seriously. But her eyes were in sadness. Cora could feel it."Why are you crying? Do you have a problem?" She repeated.Casey took a very deep breath before answering her friend Cora."Niccolo came here," she said huskily.Cora's eyes got bigger as she heard her answer. "Oh, really? He came here, huh?"She shook her head slowly. "Yes, Cora. He came here," she confirmed. "He came here because he asked for my forgiveness. I don't know if he apologized to my dad."Cora rolls her eyes and took a very deep breath. "Did you forgive him, huh?" Cora replied.She shook her head slowly. "Yes, I forgave him.""Then why are you crying, huh?" Cora asked her. "Does it hurt you? You regret forgiving him?""No! I had no regrets at all,
Two months later...Casey heard someone knocking on their door. She was alone in their bedroom because her friend went outside. She quickly stood up and opened it. Julie knocks on the door of their bedroom. She's the maid of their house. She gave her a quick smile and greeted her. "Sir Juan Miguel wants you to see him downstairs," Julie said slowly. She rolled her eyes. "Why?" Casey replied. Julie shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know, ma'am. But he's talking to someone downstairs. He has a visitor." She replied."What?! He has a visitor, huh? Who is his visitor? Did my dad tell you the name of his visitor?" Casey asked her. She had no idea who's the visitor of her dad this afternoon. "Sir Juan Miguel didn't tell me the name of his visitor, but he is a guy. He's hot and handsome. Your dad told me to call you and bring you downstairs. Maybe he has something important to tell. Ma'am, are you busy? If you don't want to go downstairs, I'll tell your dad so that he'll know that you're bus
