Diana Rose POV-The sun that hit my face awakened my spirit.Who opened the curtain to my room?“Eat a breakfast.”That voice.I opened my eyes and saw Alex on the side of my bed.“What...” before I could ask, it was as if something was throwing the memory into my brain about what happened last night until I fell asleep—and I slept until morning.When I got up, the small white towel that was on my forehead fell off, which I didn’t notice.In the food troller tray that Alex is carrying, there are small bottles of medicine that I think are medicine syrup.“You will take medicine right now,” Alex said, something annoyed in his voice.Alex sat next to me, and when he was about to eat a spoonful of mushroom soup, I stopped him.“I can eat by myself now,” I doubtfully say.He frowned. I took the spoon he was holding, and then I took a bite into my mouth.It w
Diana Rose POV-“Please repeat what you just said.”What Isabelle said didn’t sink into my brain, or maybe I heard it wrong.How can Isabelle be Alex’s girlfriend? Isabelle herself told me she had moved on with her feelings for Alex a long time ago.“My name is Isabelle, but you can call me Belle.”“That’s not what I’m talking about,” I stuttered.Why do I feel Isabelle annoys me?“That I am Alex’s girlfriend? Okay, I am Alex’s girlfriend. Actually, we have been together for two months now.”Two months? The almost exact month I left H.I.S.“We’re celebrating our two months of love. If you don’t mind, can you leave? We want to celebrate this special day.”I looked at Isabelle from head to toe. She’s wearing different school uniforms. Does this mean that Isabelle took the right time to seize Alex with me and that she moved schools so that others wouldn’t know what she planned
Diana Rose POV-“One shot of tequila, please.” It was handed to me, and I grabbed it.I’m in a bar right now, planning to drown myself in alcohol to forget at least a little.From what I found out, I felt betrayed by the people I love, including my friend.I considered Isabelle a genuine friend and until now I still consider her a friend—a sister—not by blood, to be exact, but I didn’t even notice she had a hidden agenda in her friendship. I thought Alex’s feelings for me as Patrice were real; I thought he loved me. I laughed at those thoughts. Why did I forget that Alex Shin was a great playboy? His hobby is playing with feelings.I ordered another shot of tequila, and this time it was as if my wits had been hit when I felt a headache.I think it was because it was my first time to drink this much and in this kind of place. Maybe that’s why I was hit with a kick of alcohol. Add to that the loud soun
Diana Rose POV-All night I thought about what Alex said to me. I can’t measure what his true intentions are in what he said. Why did he offer me such an agreement? Does that mean he’s not in love with Isabelle yet?However he was right. When he falls for me, when he falls in love with me, I’m sure that in the end we will get married, and I won’t have any doubts about what can happen.Alex, falling in love with me is what I should do. And this time, I will not only give my best so that he will love me; otherwise, I will give everything to him so that he will love me, and he will choose no one else but to choose and love me again and again.That’s why the next day, even though I had a headache and a hangover, I went to their mansion early to eat breakfast with him.Even if it’s tiring, Alex should be able to see and talk to me from morning to night so that he gets used to my presence until he seeks my presenc
Diana Rose POV-It’s been almost a month since I started going to Alex’s mansion every morning, but in that almost one month, I haven’t had a meal with him even once.The first four mornings, when he just let me sleep on the sofa, I brought my driver. Because in those first four days, I went with Ronald three times, and now I have four debts to pay to him.I’m unsure of the method and specifics for repaying Ronald the debt. I put this thought aside for now because nothing is more important to me than getting Alex’s love.Two days from now is our final exam, which means we will soon graduate from senior high school. We couldn’t graduate from senior high school without me getting Alex’s love.From the information I have gathered, except for those who are busier when they are college students, more people can meet Alex. I can’t let that happen because he hasn’t fallen for me yet.That’s why today, Saturday night, I thought of going to Alex’s mansion to review in his room and sleep in th
Diana Rose POV-After I wiped Alex’s lower body, I went out of his room to breathe in the air in their outside pool area. I right away felt the blow of cold air on my skin, but I still felt warm.I closed my eyes and stopped myself from screaming in excitement.I didn’t wipe Alex’s bottom or that thing; I just wiped his smooth thighs up to his feet, but it had a significant effect on my body. I feel like my body is on fire.I looked at the pool in front of me, and the next thing I knew, I jumped into it. I screamed loudly when I got up in the extreme cold.I went inside, and just in time, I met a maid. “I already brought Sir Alex’s food to his room, ma’am.”I nodded while hugging myself. “Where is the guest room here?”I followed the direction given by the maid, and when I was in front of the door of the guest room, I remembered my bag was in Alex’s room, so I went to his room, and here I saw him eati
Diana Rose POV-There is no place for the anger I feel. After they cheat me, they will continue to cheat me.“Don’t discredit Brena in my eyes, Isabelle. Brena is a genuine friend, unlike you.”“Yes, she is a genuine friend, but not when it comes to Andrew.”I smiled at what she said. “Did you mean you are referring to yourself?”Alex came between us, then he placed Isabelle behind him.I was astounded as I observed Alex’s protective behavior towards Isabelle, leaving my mouth agape.“Just get out.”I nodded and let out a deep breath.When I left that mansion, my tears just started pouring down like waterfalls.I can’t think straight these days. Thinking that Alex canceled our arranged marriage, I don’t know what will happen to me when Daddy finds out.I stopped walking when I felt a cold sweat hitting my skin, and the bottom part of the wardrobe I was wearing almos
[AFTER 5 YEARS...] . Diana Rose POV - While looking at the long white wedding dress, I couldn’t help but smile. The workmanship of every detail in the wedding dress will leave no doubt that it was meticulously executed. Even the long veil is exquisite to look at. “Do you like it?” I look at who just said that. “Baby!” Ronald approached, and when he’s about to embrace me, I patted his arm. “What do you think you are doing?” “Oh? I’m sorry, I thought I was the one you called baby.” “Dream on.” I joked to Ronald and then turned my attention to my real cute baby. I sat down for my baby girl. “I miss you.” “I miss you too, mommy!” I kiss my baby Miracle and hug her. “How’s school?” Baby Miracle showed her arm full of stars. “Look, mommy! I got many stars!” “Wow! My baby is outstanding. Have you eaten lunch?” “Yes. Papa Ronald bought a lot of chocolate and doughnuts, as well as a chocolate drink!” I raised my gaze to Ronald with a sharp look. He knew I would not feed Miracl
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.
