Diana Rose POV - “Mommy, I’m so excited!” Miracle said cheerfully. Miracle was referring to going to my parents’ mansion. Today I don’t have any work schedule; that’s why I thought of going to the mansion to talk to my family. When Ronald stopped the car outside the mansion, he looked at Miracle and me. “Just call me and I’ll pick you up.” I would like to take Ronald to the mansion, but he says he has something important to attend to. Miracle approached Ronald, then hugged him and kissed Ronald on the cheek. “Be careful driving, Papa.” “You too, baby. Be careful while Papa is not around. Don’t be too naughty either.” Miracle cutely pouted her lips. “I’m not naughty.” “Just kidding, baby,” Ronald said, then kissed Miracle on the forehead. “I love you, baby.” “Papa, I love you too!” I can’t help but smile while looking at Ronald and Miracle. They seem like father and daughter. Words cannot describe the immense gratitude I feel towards Ronald for showering Miracle with a fath
Diana Rose POV-I was a little early for the call time on the set, so while I was waiting for the other staff to arrive, I had a video call with Miracle and Ronald.“Mommy, I’m here now in Papa’s office! I’m helping Papa with his work.”“How do you help Papa with his work?”“Here!”I stood up in shock at what Miracle showed me. It was a piece of paper printed with Miracle’s drawing.“I think Miracle will be an excellent artist someday, like her mom,” Ronald said with a smile.“Really, Papa?”“Yes, and when you become an artist, I should be in your exhibit, okay?”“Yes, papa! I will draw again!”Miracle again took a piece of paper from Ronald’s table, and then she started drawing again.“Ronald, I think those are important documents,” I worriedly said, then sat down slowly.“I can have that reprinted. What else, and I became the CEO?” Ronald said, still laughing.I don’t know how to thank Ronald more for the help he gives Miracle and me, especially the patience he shows.“Diana?”I lo
Diana Rose POV - Ronald was quick to fix the things he had to fix, especially selling his company and other properties, especially his company didn’t have any problems. By the time we left, we had no intention of coming back. Maybe we will go back for vacation so I can visit my parents, since Ronald doesn’t have any relatives and his parents died a few years ago. Ronald is taking care of our documents and if he speeds up, maybe by the next two or three days we will leave. I have sold my condo unit and the house Ronald lives in. For now, the three of us will live in a hotel. I’m nervous and I feel a little mixed with joy every time I think about Ronald and I plan to start in another country. One of my thoughts is to marry Ronald, but right now I don’t think I’m ready for that. “Is there a problem?” Miracle and I are here at my parents’ mansion, here in the garden. Miracle was playing with my parents. Since we plan to leave in just a few days, I thought of spending a whole day
Diana Rose POV - This is so unfair. Why does it seem now that I’m the bad one between Alex and me? “Diana, I will follow all your conditions. Just allow me to be with her daughter for at least one week.” This is unfair. Why does Alex cry just once in front of me and I become soft towards him? Just one of his tears seemed to make my anger towards him disappear for a moment? “Let me be Miracle’s father, please.” I felt Alex’s hug tightening around my leg while I couldn’t look at him while begging me. “Diana, don’t decide you’ll later regret.” Darryl advised in a whisper. That’s when Darryl clarified what he said to me. I looked back at Alex. “Stand there.” “Diana, please—” “I agree.” I cut him off. Fast as lightning, Darryl looked up to look at me. “I agree to let you be with Miracle, so stand up now. You irritate my ears begging.” Alex stood up and when he was about to hug me, I took his arms first. “Sorry,” Alex said in an almost low voice, like a scolded puppy. “But
Diana Rose POV-When I woke up, the first thing I felt was my heavy body. This feeling is familiar and I don’t like it.I touched my forehead but what I touched was a wet cloth and after I looked at it; it was a small white towel that was warm and wet.“Good morning, Mira–Miracle?”I got up without seeing Miracle next to me. I looked for her in the bathroom of this room, but he was not there either.“Miracle?”I felt nervous when I couldn’t even see Miracle’s shadow. It’s not Miracle’s habit to leave without me in a place she doesn’t know or not saying to me.I hope I’m wrong in thinking that Alex plans to run away and take Miracle away from me.I left the room and when I went down, I met someone. “Did you see Miracle?”“Ys, ma’am, he is with Sir Alex—”“Where are they?”“In the kitchen, ma’am.”I couldn’t thank the maid anymore, instead I ran to the kitchen.When I saw Miracle, I breathed a sigh of relief.“Miracle...”Alex and Miracle looked at me together.“Mommy!” Miracle called
Diana Rose POV-The next day, my fever was better, with the help of Alex’s care.Yesterday I almost slept the whole day while Alex was watching over Miracle.Today, Miracle asked us to leave.After I fixed Miracle, I made her sit on the bed while waiting for Alex and I tried to call Ronald’s phone number again.I’ve been trying to contact Ronald’s phone number since yesterday, but it’s been unreachable. I wanted to let him know we were here at Alex’s mansion, but when I contacted his phone number, even once, I still couldn’t contact his phone number. I couldn’t help but worry about Ronald. I hope he’s doing fine.“Sorry if I’m late. Someone just called me.”“Daddy!”I looked at Miracle, who ran towards Alex, who picked up Miracle.“Are you excited about where we’re going, baby?” Alex asked.“Where are we going, daddy?” Miracle cutely pouted her lips.“Surprise, but
Diana Rose POV-The next day when I woke up, I didn’t get up right away because what hit me was the pain in my body. I can still feel how tired we were yesterday at the water park.“Mommy, I’m too lazy to get up but I want to play with daddy Alex.”I laughed a little at what Miracle told me. If she was also tired yesterday, how can I, especially Alex, who has been carrying Miracle for most of the day?“Do you and Alex have anything to do today besides play?” I ask. I hope we don’t leave now.“Yes mommy. Daddy Alex said he will teach me to ride a bike.”After a while, someone knocked from outside. “This is Alex. May I come in?”“Yes!” I answered, then got up.Whe Alex entered with a tray of food, Miracle got up and jumped on the bed. Wow, Miracle is full of energy.“Breakfast in bed.” After Alex put the tray on the bed, Miracle sat down.“Did you cook, daddy?”“No. I
[AFTER 3 MONTHS...]....Diana Rose POV-After I fixed Miracle, Ronald came right into our room.“Dad!”Miracle ran towards Ronald, who immediately picked up Miracle.“My baby got prettier,” Ronald said and then he kissed Miracle on the forehead.Ronald also approached me, then he gave me a peck of a kiss on the cheek. “Good morning, hon.”“Good morning too... Hon...” Ronald has been calling me that endearment for three months now, but I still can’t get used to calling him that.“You don’t have to force yourself to call me that, especially if you are not comfortable.” “Sorry...” I didn’t know that Ronald was aware of that.“You have nothing to apologize for, Diana.”Ever since we moved to Europe, Ronald and I with my daughter, whom he also considers his daughter—Miracle, I still haven’t regretted my decision.In the past
Diana Rose POV-I want to hide my tears. I want to bring my tears back to my eyes but I can’t.“Diana, don’t cry anymore.” Isabelle said to me.“I can’t help it.” I said, still crying. “Hold it as long as you can—no until we finish putting all the makeup on your face.” All the makeup that will be used on you is waterproof, so once the makeup is done, you can cry and cry until your eyes will be swollen.”I was crying like crazy and laughed at Isabelle’s words.“This is what we’ve all been waiting for. This is the day that will happen, so your beauty should dominate. So stop crying.”“But—”“No buts, Diana. Will you stop or I will slap all the makeup in front of you?”I stopped crying and nodded before hitting all the makeup.THIS IS THE DAY.We waited one year and nine months before this special day, Alex and I’s wedding, will happen. The process took a long time after what happened before.Miracle was a bit traumatized by what had happened then, especially the loss of Ronald. Mirac
Diana Rose POV-“Miracle!”Before I could run to Miracle, I saw Ronald was hugging Miracle to protect Miracle from the gun bullets.The rain of gunfire stopped at the same time as Ronald fell to the floor while bathing himself in blood.“Ronald! Miracle!” I was full of worry and shouted as I ran towards them.“Mommy, Papa doesn’t want to get up!” Miracle said, crying. “We’re still going to eat, aren’t we?”After I made sure that there was not even a single shot of Miracle from the gun, I first shifted my other attention to Ronald.I gently tap Ronald’s face. “Ronald, please open your eyes. Please.”I smiled when Ronald’s eyes slowly opened.“How to stop the bomb in Miracle’s body? Where is the remote to stop the time bomb in Miracle’s body?”“Do you think that I can hurt my daughter?” he said faintly.I stopped for a moment and shifted my gaze to Miracle who continued to cry because of Ronald’s condition.“No,” I looked back at Ronald. “I think I was scared.” I also looked back at th
Diana Rose POV-We heard a police siren.“Dammit, how did they track it down?”“Ronald, please. Stop this. I’m sure Alex didn’t like what happened to your sibling.”I have to make a way for us to stay here until the police find us in this room.“Shut up! Whether or not Alex likes it, it’s still Alex’s fault!”“But, Ronald...”My lips twitched when Ronald pointed a gun at me.“Will you keep quiet or will I fire the first bullet of this gun at Miracle?” Then he pointed his gun at Miracle.I shook my head. “No, please. I will shut up. If you want, I will go with you now, just don’t hurt Miracle. Please.”Ronald punched my stomach twice, causing me to feel weak. I felt him loosen my handcuffs, but my stomach felt an unfamiliar pain.I want to fight this time, but my stomach is in so much pain that my whole body is almost numb.“Let’s see who is more important t
Alex POV-Dammit.I miss Diana and Miracle so much. I shouldn’t have returned to New York, especially if I knew I would be stranded at the airport for two days because of the typhoon, and if I wasn’t required in that emergency meeting, I wouldn’t have come back without Diana and Miracle.“I’m sorry, but could you please hurry?” I said to Paulo, Isabelle’s husband.I asked Paulo to pick me up because I know how fast he can drive. He is a doctor and once he drove an ambulance in which I was also riding and how he drove, he even beat the one in the race car.“I’ve already maxed the speed limit, Alex. If I speed up, I might be over-speeding. This is not an ambulance.”He is right.“One more thing, calm down. I will have delivered you in less than thirty minutes.”“Fine.”I tried to contact Diana’s phone number, but I still can’t contact her. When I landed here around seven in the evening
Diana Rose POV - While I was getting my jacket and my bag, I still tried to contact Ronald’s number but I couldn’t call his phone number even though I couldn’t count the number of times I tried to contact him. I couldn’t think of anything other than going to see Miracle right away. That’s why after I got my bag and jacket, I left the house, just in time for a taxi to pass by, so I stopped it right away. I didn’t waste a single second and told the taxi driver the address that Ronald sent me. “Ma’am, it’s farther and then it’s late—” “I will pay any amount as long as you take me to this address.” I beg in desperation. I understand why the taxi driver almost refused. It’s a bit late at night and maybe he still has something to go to but at this time I’m desperate and willing to give all the money I have just to go to Miracle right away. “You look in
Diana Rose POV-After I finished meeting Ronald, he insisted on taking me to Isabelle’s house. Ronald also told me that is why there was no one at the cafe where we met because he rented it for the entire day.“Oh, my gosh, Diana Rose Soleta, we met!” Isabelle shouted as I entered their house. “I’ve been waiting for you. Why did you just visit me now?”The weather was hot, so we just stayed inside their house.“Because l met Ronald.”“I see. I understand.”Like Ronald, I just met Isabelle again and just now I could contact her.“I thought you forgot about me.”“Sorry, if I just contacted you now. I’ve been busy these past few weeks.”“I’m just kidding. I understand. Are you and Alex getting along?”“Yes,” I said with a smile. “Our family is complete now. We’ve been together these past weeks.”Isabelle’s jaw dropped. In joyful surprise, Isabelle’s jaw dropped, and then she hug
Diana Rose POV-Three weeks had passed, but it was still like a dream come true that we have now completed as a family.We did nothing for three weeks except bond after taking Miracle from school. But every Friday night, Alex returns to New York and then returns Monday morning, but often when an emergency in the company he needs it, Alex is back in New York to take care of his work. “Mommy, when is daddy coming home?” Miracle asked me as we were cooking breakfast.“Tomorrow morning, baby.”“By the way, do you want to go to school anymore?”“Yes, mommy. I want to say goodbye to everyone.”“Okay, I’ll take you later. Then that’s the last time you attend that school.”Alex has taken care of all the documents for our departure back to New York. It is a good thing Miracle agreed to return to New York because she said she liked it because his grandparents and his favorite is Uncle Darryl.
Diana Rose POV-“You two finally made up!” Darryl said when Alex and I visited him in his hotel room. “I’m sorry if I told Diana what I know.”“I think that’s fine.”“Of course!” I said. “You should have told me everything before.”“Calm down, Diana. Let’s not bring up the past.” Darryl said teasingly.“I’ll just get Miracle and I’s stuff, then we’ll move to Alex’s house—”“Our home, Diana. That’s our home,” Alex corrected me. “Our home. Miracle and I are moving there.”“Moving house?” Darryl asked in surprise.“Yes, why?” I ask.“That’s all you’re going to do? I mean, what do you plan to do now that you’ve settled? Other than that, I think you’re going to tell Miracle the truth. What else do you plan to do?”Alex and I looked at each other at Darryl’s question.“You don’t have any other plans?” Darryl asked, out of concern. “Hey Alex, what are you up to?”
Diana Rose POV-STRAWBERRY SCENT scented my sense of smell when my spirit woke up. At the same, time I felt a lot of pain in my, body especially in the lower part of it.For a few moments, I felt the edge of the bed I was lying on sink a little and I smelled strawberry scent even more.“Good morning, my SB.”Then I thought of opening my eyes after I heard Alex’s voice.“Good morning—why are you naked in front of me?”Alex was wearing nothing but a white towel for his lower body while he was wiping his wet hair with a white small towel.“It’s like you didn’t touch my whole body, you didn’t lick my man—”“Stop it!” I held my breath, cutting off the teasing Alex said to me.Every time I remember what I did last night with Alex, I feel like my whole body is burning with the shame of what I did. I didn’t mean it, I was just carried away by my emotions from what we were doing last night.
