The gloating Sia, who had gone to bed thinking she had everything under control, woke up with a sharp and unbearable stomachache. When she sat up, she noticed a huge blood stain on the mattress.

"Oh shoot!" Sia groaned. "Do they have to come now? I can't deal with this right now!" Another wave of pain shot through her stomach, radiating to her pelvis and back. "Oh my god, I'm going to die! I will die on this deserted island!"

Her body had always been out of sync and her periods were pure suffering which often requiring medical intervention. They only lasted two days, but those two days were hell.

If there was one thing Sia valued more than her arrogance and wealth, it was her life. No one else loved her so she had learned to love herself.

Swallowing her pride, she went to find Leon. She opened the door to his bedroom and he jerked awake from sleep, instantly sensing something was wrong by the way she called his name.

"Leon!"

He asked, "What happened?"

    Leon hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My mom has some health issues, but I have never seen her in pain like this. And Coco and Belly... they don’t suffer this much either. I have never seen them go through something like what you just did."She answered, “That’s because they don’t have ruined bodies.”“I don’t get it,” Leon said.Sia opened her eyes and with a casual tone that reduced the severity of her words, replied, “Try having two abortions, four miscarriages, and taking countless emergency contraceptives. It is a miracle I don’t have ovarian cancer yet.”Leon was too stunned to speak. “Why would someone go through that?” he asked, unable to fathom the intensity of what she had endured.She smiled bitterlyt. “Try marrying a narcissistic asshole who thinks his wife is his personal prostitute, someone he can use however he wants without ever taking responsibility.”Leon could only stare at her, lost for words. She spoke with such detachment as if these weren’t her own devas

    “What do you think you are doing?” Leon asked, his eyes widening as he saw her draped in a towel and was standing in the living room. Her smooth, sun-kissed legs seemed to stretch for miles and the droplets of water from her hair glistened against her rosy skin which was freshly warmed from the shower.It was not the kind of scene he had imagined waking up to.“What am I doing?” she asked casually as she was moving closer to him on the couch with her magnetic presence. She blinked at him, batting her eyelashes as if to charm him further. Tentatively, she reached for his hand and her fingers trailing down to his chest. Her touch was soft but purposive, igniting a spark of desire that he tried desperately to suppress.This woman… He didn’t want to fall for her games, but she was a damn player.“Leon…” she whispered as she positioned herself on top of him whilw her gaze was smoldering with intention. “Can you feel it?” she purred, her voice low and sultry as she leaned in while her li

    Sia grinned back at him but her attention was quickly drawn outside. The lively sounds of children playing and people chatting caught her ear. Curiosity got the best of her and she made her way to the gate as she was eager to see what was happening. However, as she stepped outside, Lucifer barked loudly, blocking her path.This damn dog again! Scared, she dashed back inside and hid behind Leon. “Ask your dog not to scare me! I’m just curious. And where can I even run from here?” she exclaimed, her heart racing.“Lucifer, come back!” Leon called, asking his dog to return.With the dog settled, Sia cautiously stepped forward to catch a look of the scene outside. A group of women dressed in traditional dresses marched by as some showcased swords and arrows plays while others danced in groups. The atmosphere was filled with the beats of drums and the melody of various musical instruments. The air buzzed with energy as a small group of older ladies dressed in deep red carried something co

    When the veneration ended in the evening, it started to snow lightly. Under the soft snowfall, the tribal men and women linked arms, laughing and dancing happily. Then, they all sang a song dedicated to their deity.After that, they hugged their family members, as if asking the deity to bless their lives with happiness and love. Leon and Sia stood there, watching everything in awe. An older woman gently pushed them towards each other.The sounds around them seemed to fade, and all they could see and feel was each other. It felt like they were alone in the moment. With a gentle push, they awkwardly hugged each other. Then, as the people kissed their spouses on the cheeks, someone nudged them to do the same.Leon and Sia looked into each other’s eyes. Their gaze slowly fell to each other’s lips. Leon’s hands came up to cup her face, and Sia closed her eyes as his lips softly touched hers. She waited for more, but nothing happened for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes, she found him

    “What do you want for dinner?” Leon asked Sia as he stood in the kitchen.“Nothing,” Sia replied.“You’re not going to have dinner?” he asked again, raising an eyebrow.She grinned at him. He was now fully dressed, no longer shirtless like earlier and she couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Still, with the temperature as low as it was, it made sense as nobody wanted to catch pneumonia just to look good.“Dinner, Sia?” he repeated.“I will just have some bread,” she said casually.Leon chuckled, amused. “You can’t just eat bread. You need real food.”Sia shrugged, “Leon, I’m PMSing. I can eat whatever I want.”He looked a bit puzzled. “Didn’t you just finish your period? How can you have pre-menstrual syndrome now?”Sia rolled her eyes, explaining, “Some women get Post-Menstrual Syndrome too. So, it is that kind of PMS.”Leon raised an eyebrow and made a mental note. “Post-menstrual syndrome, huh?”“Yeah,” she nodded. “I get pre, during, and post. One week before, one week after.

    The next morning, Sia awoke to the sight of a snowstorm outside and the world beyond the window was covered in a thick blanket of white. Leon was still asleep beside her and as she looked around, she remembered where they were, lying on the floor with two blankets near the fireplace to keep them warm.She was sweating under the layers, but she didn’t dare move, not wanting to disturb Leon’s peaceful rest. As she stared at him, a thought crossed her mind, last night, they had shared the warmth of each other’s bodies, fully clothed. But she wasn't sure how long that boundary would hold in the future. Something had shifted between them, and she wasn't sure what would come next.Sia’s heart raced as she studied Leon’s face and was admiring the way his long lashes brushed against his cheeks, his dark curls tousled from sleep. His full lips, high cheekbones, and strong chin were captivating. Anne and Nicholas Hart gave their best features to their son. He looked almost too perfect to be rea

    “Where are you taking me?” Sia asked as Leon walked into her room, urging her to follow him.“Can’t you just follow me quietly?” Leon replied, exasperated. He knew her well enough by now that she was never going to just do what he asked without questioning him. She did not have bones inside her that promotes the quality of obeying. Sia, with her usual pride, retorted, “Why should I? I don’t follow trends. I am the trend, and the world follows me.”Leon rolled his eyes. “Stop being so full of yourself and come with me.”It was like she couldn’t go a day without showing off her favorite traits—pride, arrogance, and narcissism. She lived by them. No she was basically drowning in these qualities.“Why are you opening the door?” she nearly screeched as he grabbed the knob.Leon glanced at her and replied, “Because we are going out.”She paused, concerned for him which caught him by a little surprise. “You just got over a fever.”“I know,” he said, reassuring her. “I am wearing thick cloth

    Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door. Leon, who had barely slept all night, heard it and went to see who it was. Outside stood one of the guards who was stationed nearby. He knew from the grim look on the guard’s face, something might have happened. It was an emergency, either at home or office. “Sir, there is an urgent message for you from your home,” the guard said.It was just like how he had expected. Leon took the phone. With no network on the island, the guard had brought a voicemail.It was from his father.If it had been his mother, he might have felt less concerned, but the fact that his father had left multiple messages over the last ten hours meant it was urgent. Not just urgent, something had happened back home and he needed to rush. He had yet to hear the contents of the voicemail and he knew that he had to leave as soon as possible. "Leon, it’s Dad. Please come home soon.""Leon, Abella is in the hospital. She needs you. We need you.""Son, where are you

    His voice dropped lower as he confessed, “Oh, Sia baby, I have dreamed of this every single day.” Leaning in, his lips found her neck, planting a trail of kisses that sent shivers cascading down her spine. Each kiss was deliberate, slow, and tantalizing as his lips explored the soft curves and bumps of her skin. He sucked and nipped gently, leaving her breathless and causing her to arch her back in excitement. His tongue darted out, tasting the warmth of her skin. The sensation was electric, making her clutch the bedsheet to steady herself. She was completely at his mercy, her body responding in ways she didn’t fully understand. Every touch was igniting a fire within her. He moved lower while his lips brushing the space between her breasts. Her hands instinctively found their way to his thick hair, tangling themselves in the silky strands as his touch consumed her entirely. He moved further down kissing his way down to her navel but stopped just right above her pussy area. H

    When they reached their room after dinner, his gaze fell on her. She was sitting on the stool in front of the mirror while trying to remove her earrings, but she was struggling. He walked closer to her and whispered, “May I?” She silently gave him permission. He gently swept her hair to one side and carefully removed her earrings. As he worked, his hands lingered on her shoulders and their eyes met in the mirror. A soft blush painted her cheeks. Her eyes, though tired, but sparkled with life. He softly made her stand while turning her to face him. Dipping his head, he kissed her lips tenderly. After a moment, he murmured, “In five years, I see myself kissing your soft lips every day.” He whispered against her lips, “You are so beautiful, Sia baby.” Then, he claimed her lips in another kiss which deeper and more consuming. As he kissed her, her entire body trembled with need for him. She wasn’t embarrassed by the way her body craved his touch, how every fiber of her being begged

    The lovebirds were truly basking in each other’s company. Leon had planned a perfect evening, starting with a romantic sunset walk along the beach as their feet were sinking into the soft sand as the waves kissed the shore. Later, they moved to a cozy candlelit dinner he had arranged just for her. The gentle glow of the candles was reflecting in her eyes as he sat in front of her. “Leon,” Sia’s soft voice broke the serenity as she called his name. “Yes?” he responded, his gaze meeting hers with warmth. “Let’s play a game,” she suggested, her lips curving into a playful smile. “Okay, which game are we playing?” Leon asked, tilting his head with interest. “Let’s play twenty questions,” Sia proposed. Leon chuckled. “Quite cliché, but fine,” he agreed. Since the moment felt too magical to let slip into silence, the game seemed like a fun way to keep the mood alive. She pouted in mock offense but pressed on, “Are you a sunrise or sunset person?” “Definitely a sunrise person

    “Sia?”“Hmm,” he murmured in reply, feeling his finger trailing along her shoulder. The rays of the sun bathed her body as they lay near the sea. They were on one of the private beaches in the Philippines, one of the most breathtaking places she had ever seen. For the past three days, they had been travelling. The first two days were filled with adventure, but today was a much-needed lazy day for both of them.“I think you need sunscreen,” Leon said, his voice low and teasing. “Hmm,” she replied, her eyes still closed. She felt him scooping sunscreen into his hands, the cool sensation was contrasting with the heat of his palms as he began smoothing it over her body. His touch lingered as he worked the lotion into her neck while gliding down her back, tracing every curve and dip with deliberate care. Then his hands moved lower, over her hips and along her legs. Just as she thought he was done, his hands reversed course and they have begun gliding upward with an unhurried sensuality. S

    After a few days of silence, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen. Leon had been patient, giving her the space he thought she needed to handle whatever was going on in her life. But as weeks turned into a month with no sign of her, he had had enough. He grabbed his phone and called her. She picked up just as it was about to go to voicemail. Her tired face appeared on the screen. “What’s up, little brother?” she asked, her tone lacking its usual energy. “Charlotte Hart, where the hell are you?” Leon snapped. “Somewhere on Earth. Why? What happened?” she replied nonchalantly, though her eyes betrayed exhaustion. Leon’s frown deepened. “Do you know how frustrating you are? You told everyone you were painting, but this doesn’t look like your apartment, and you look like crap.” He paused, taking a closer look. Her hair was longer, browner, and wavy which was completely different from her usual style. His brows furrowed as something else caught his attention. “Wait a minute… are you

    Sia smiled widely at Abella and gave her an encouraging pat on the back. “I like it, girl,” she said with genuine warmth. Abella lowered her head, her voice tinged with embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I just… I made the plan, but they ditched me because Cade was interested in me. And, well, Leslie has a crush on him too. You know… the usual college drama.” Sia tilted her head sympathetically but kept her tone light. “I’m glad you ended up spending the evening with me instead. Those people made you cry, and they don’t deserve your energy. You should let them know you don’t care about what they think. You have got people who care about you, and tonight, we are going to have a lot of fun! You are in college, and there is no curfew.” Abella muttered with a small pout, “I still can’t drink until I’m 21.” Sia laughed. “I will show you how to have fun without needing a drop of alcohol. Trust me, tonight is going to be unforgettable.” And it was. The two spent the evening laughing, tal

    Sia had just wrapped up her work at the office when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she raised a brow in surprise. Softening her tone, she answered, “Hello?” “Hi, Sia,” came Abella’s slightly nervous voice. “Are you busy?” Sia glanced at the clock, noting the upcoming meetings on her schedule. But she brushed them aside and replied warmly, “Not at all. Just finished my work.” “Cool!” Abella sounded a little more at ease. After a brief pause, she asked hesitantly, “Would you like to go shopping with me?” Sia blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Abella was usually reserved and rarely expressed her wishes so openly. The invitation felt like a rare and meaningful step. “Of course,” Sia said, her voice full of encouragement. “When do you want to go?” “Now?” Abella suggested tentatively. “Perfect,” Sia agreed. “Where are you? I will come pick you up.” “I’m at my dorm. Can you come here?” “Absolutely,” Sia assured her. With that, they ended the call. Sia turned to

    After spending the entire night with Sia, Leon decided it was time to visit his parents, whom he hadn’t seen in two weeks. When he arrived, the house was lively as usual. Along with Nicholas and Anne, Rhys, Callum, Abella, and his grandparents, Ellora and Nikolai, were all gathered around the table. It was a joyous occasion for the family to be under the same roof. “Dad, can you take over for a month?” Leon asked, leaning against the doorframe. Well, if he had to be gone for over a month, he needed capable hands to look after his work. Who did he trust more than Nicholas Hart himself? Nicholas raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Do I look stupid to you?” Why on earth would he want to return to that cold office building? He recalled the time when the kids were young and he would find all the opportunity to not go to work. He had waited a lot for his retirement. There was no way, he was going back to work! “It’s just a month,” Leon persisted, his tone almost pleading. Nich

    “Leon?” Sia’s voice trembled with surprise and excitement as she spotted him standing at the door of her study. Without hesitation, she ran to him while wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. “You heartless man! You went on a business trip for a whole week! Did you even miss me?” “I’m sorry, Sia baby. I’m a bad man,” he murmured, pulling her closer and kissing her cheek. “I’m sorry. Next time, I’ will take you with me.” She pouted, muttering, “What would I even do there?” He smiled, his voice soft and affectionate. “Stay with me all day. Who cares what place or task it is, as long as we are together.” Her lips curled into a contented smile and she nodded, looking every bit like a satisfied child who had just been given her favorite treat. “I love you, Leon,” she whispered. The words were rare and reserved for moments that carried her true and raw emotions. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I love you more, Sia baby.” Without another word, Leon scooped her i
