Aviena's POVSilence enveloped the two of us which he also immediately broke because I did not speak. I was still surprised by his sudden call.“My family will go here. My grandfather will probably go to ask about you,” he said so I just smiled to myself. Right. What do I even expect? Do I really expect him to wait for me? That he will call me because he misses me even though his beloved Marissa is there."Alright… I'll go…" I said and didn't wait for him to say anything, I immediately turned off the call. I don't want to expect from him anymore.What did they even do? They probably spend their luxury time together. I haven't heard on television that his girlfriend is different or anything so I don't think he did anything to tarnish my name. I’m just pretty sure he did something. I just smiled at the thought before shaking my head.I don’t have to care about that anymore."Who's that, Big Sister?" Marieta asked me when I returned to the table.“Hmm, I think I need to go back to Manila
Aviena's POVBased on how they look, it seems that it's a sin to refuse."It's fine with me." I could see how they looked at me before smiling. It was as if they just smiled and knew I was going to commit sin. The smile disappears from my lips because of their judgmental eyes but I just refrain from speaking my own thoughts.“We can all party together. No need for what you're planning,” River told them coldly so they immediately looked at him.“You're really kill joy, Big Bro. What's the problem with that? We will only go out once. We would like to hang out with your wife too. ” Gwen even laughed as River's Aunts looked at her. She didn't seem happy with what her daughter wanted either. I also don’t want to be close to River’s cousins. I'm really fine by myself."So we'll plan it out then?" They even smiled at me. I just nodded because it seemed like that was my only choice.I just kept quiet and didn't speak anymore."We're going to stay here until we go to the resort where your wedd
Aviena's POV“Ocean! Here is the gift!” Gwen’s excited scream enveloped us so I couldn’t help but smirk. I am not afraid of their dare. They will just probably ask me to drink 1 bottle of drinks or something.They made me sit in a chair in the front so I couldn’t avoid frowning but when a big box came in I seemed to know what is it. This isn't my first time at a bachelorette party. Most of the time I am also invited to some party somehow.I promise River that I won't stain his name, especially in public but if I go now, they will probably say that I'm a killjoy or anything that they can say to me. I couldn’t help but sigh.Soon the three men came out. One of the guys goes to the girls and the two of those gifts go to me. I tried to avert my eyes. One thing I'm really sure of, Ocean and Gwen will really receive a scold from River. One of the instructions of that one is we party without a man. He said he shouldn't see a man here.After the dance ended, I was already looking at the floor
Aviena's POV"What?" I stared at River as he lifted my luggage. I don’t know why I’m annoyed with everything it does. He has the power to annoy. I was annoyed because I felt like he was just being nice to me because he and Marissa were having a lover's quarrel right now. I can't help but be overwhelmed by that idea.“Why are you getting mad at me? Are you still thinking about us making a baby?” he laughed at his question. Obviously, he's teasing me. I pushed him away from me so he laughed while avoiding it. I don't really know what's gotten to him right now. He's just really annoying.When we got to the bedroom, less than a second later we were called out.All of them are enjoying the day. While I want this marriage to end so that I can go home and breathe. They are just so tiring.“You two can't stay together. The marriage may not happen if you're just in one room. ” I couldn't help but laugh there. Many people say that it is forbidden to see each other before you got married because
Aviena's POV"Of course not!" Saying that feels like saying that I like him too.I was very annoyed when I entered the room for me here on the yacht but we also left immediately because we had already reached the island. I ignored him.He used to be the one taking pictures of me but because my pride didn't like it, I didn't even talk to him. I just ask for favors from the crew. He's just watching me. He's not even doing anything but my blood was already boiling because of him. He's really annoying.“I made you a buko shake,” he said before giving me the buko shake that he have. I just raised an eyebrow at him. There was still a smile on his lips but not the annoying one now. Smile you will fall if you're heart is so fragile. Annoying. I was just sipping on the buko shake he provided but I almost choked when he took a straw and we were just in the same glass."What? You are so corny, ah?” I asked but I couldn't help my smile now. This one really knows how to get me.We are just like d
Aviena's POV"Are you excited?" Ocean asked me after fixing my clothes. It's time for River and me to get married. Many celebrities are here. There are photographers and of course some reporters. I can’t deny that I’m nervous. I didn't invite my relatives because I didn't want to surprise them but it looks like they will be even more surprised if they see about it on the internet. I don’t know how to explain it. Did I fall in love at first sight? I do not know what to say.“Maybe I am,” I said. I know Ocean doesn't like me but she doesn't have a choice but to talk to me. We will be annoying each other for two years. But seems like it's different today. She looks awkward to me."I'm sorry," she suddenly said so I turned to her. I also felt the roar of the heart at her sudden apology. Did she do anything? I can't help feeling at the thought of her ruining my name.“I’m sorry for not treating you well. I was just shocked that he got married without informing me… ” she said, biting her li
Aviena's POVI just stopped when I heard them shouting. I stared at them. I was silent and still hidden as I watched them both. Both are angry and both seem to disagree with each other. What is their problem? Is it because of the wedding? I couldn’t help but feel sad for Marissa."Seems like they are breaking up." I almost jumped in panic when someone spoke to my side. I immediately saw Veron gossiping here next to me as well. I don’t know where Veron keeps on going. She looks tired of her life but because chismis is life, she is here now and still peeking with me.Both of our eyes widened when a well-known man approached while smiling holding Marissa in his arm. I could see the anger on River's face. He tried to hold Marissa but she just removed his hand before she smiled. Knowing River? He's probably mad right now. On the other hand, that one is not happy when his pride is trampled on.I just watched his angry expression when they left him alone.“Omg, Ma’am? Boss looks like he want
Aviena's POV"Stop it, River. You've been there before," I said, glancing at River who had been stealing a kiss before. His nephew is getting angry.I just pickled River's forehead when I was teased, he still laughed and kissed me on the cheek before lifting his nephew.“We will just find you a new crush. Auntie Aviena's for Uncle,” he teased his nephew. I couldn't help but laugh because he kept on annoying him.I also didn't really think that this one has hidden naughtiness on his body. He always seems composed but now he just keeps on annoying both Sert and me. We are now leaving the resort we are staying at, we will now visit Ubud Monkey Forest to let Sert enjoy his stay here in Bali.I was just laughing because he said that he didn't want to be with his nephew but now they can hardly be separated from each other either. If River's not holding his hand, he's giving him a piggy ride.I looked at River as he held out a hand to me. I just accepted that too. Even if we're not pretend
River's POV"You already have a grasp of Aviena, but seems like it has become a rock," Kuya Spring said with a laugh when he saw me busy on my phone. He grinned broadly as he watched me stare at each photo of Aviena at some brand abroad.“You bought a lot of magazines again? What are you going to do there?” my curious older brother asked. I don't know either. I just like seeing her face.I just want an update from her. She was enjoying her life in Amsterdam. I told myself that I'll just let her for now. But once she came back to the Philippines, I won't ever let her go. However, I also can't bear to visit her so I simply go to Amsterdam once a year. I simply look at her. Just like how I've been admiring her in the past. I thought I was content with just that but I want to fucking wake up in the morning again to see her. I want to live with her again.I was busy with some papers when Marissa called. I didn't feel like answering her call because I haven't heard any news from Aviena so f
River's POV“Damn, Man, you’re so whipped. I won't be surprised when Aviena got scared at you,” Lake told me while laughing.I just followed my gaze to Aviena who was just going straight to our room."She will melt with the way you look at her right now," Pride said who I just heard talking now. I don't even know where the viper keeps on going because he just suddenly disappears."You all should shut up and just fucking drink when we're done here," I said, annoyed with them. The idiots laughed while Demon and I also wanted to enter our villas. These assholes want to drink more. All right, destroy your livers.I want to go in and sleep next to Aviena. Can't you believe it? She's saying that we don't even sleep in one bed. So she doesn't really care if I sleep beside her at all.I just shake with the thought. We were finishing when Ocean called me."Come on!" she look so nervous so I furrowed my forehead at her.“Marrisa's ex is here. He's begging Marissa to come back again. That fuckin
River's POV"Boss, you haven't come home yet?" my secretary asked because he wasn't able to go home while I was still bothering myself with work.“Go home. I won't be going home yet,” I said. He looked at me hesitantly so I just pushed him away.I'm just trying to do my job but I still can't believe that Aviena is actually living in my house. I'm just getting close to the idea that it's just at home now.Just like what I said I won't meddle with anything about her. I won't make her uncomfortable. I would like her to just treat me as a stranger just like usual because I feel like I will really want to stay with her when my feelings for her continue. If I can even do it, I won't talk to her at all.“Boss, your sister came here. She put a picture in your room. She said it was a picture of scared rats.” Veron was still scratching her head as if confused by Ocean.I just shook my head because Ocean kept calling, asking if I was really married to someone she didn't even know.“Are you comin
River’s POVAviena's Sister almost jumped in joy. She even asks for money for some of Aviena’s debt which I also give her. “I want the wedding to be immediately processed,” I seriously said. I want to end it fast, especially since her sister seems like have a lot of lists to marry Aviena off. “Tell her that I’ll only marry her for the sake of my grandfather,” I coldly said. Damn it. How can I fucking act like a lovesick guy?That’s how we ended our conversation. "The fucking asshole came there?" I asked Marissa with a frown when her tongue slipped about her stupid ex going abroad where she is now. She was silenced there. She's actually abused by her boyfriend so she chose to live with her parents but in the end, she still can't get rid of her good ex."Let's not talk about him at all," she said, still laughing. She even grinned at me.“So what’s Kuya Spring talking about? You're going to marry Aviena?” she asked, still unable to believe it until now. There was still a teasing smile
Aviena's POV"I said I want mango!" I complain to him."That's mango?" he asked questioningly."How did such a chin look like a mango?" I asked, still annoyed at him. His lips parted before he looked at it.“Huh? Why do you think so? That's how mango is supposed to look like?” he asked calmly so I couldn't help but look at him. He's even able to answer, huh?! I couldn’t help the irritation I felt while looking at him so he gradually shut his mouth."Are you arguing with me?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow so he slowly shook his head at me and was a little confused."I'm not… I just can't find a perfect circle mango that you want…" he said. I can't help but frown because all the mangoes he gives me have a chin.I just frowned and irritably turned my back on him."Don't be mad, Wife… I'll still look for some…" he said to me."Nevermind! You mean you don't really want to search! You are just being forced!” I was annoyed when I said that.I don’t know why I’ve been so irritated these past
Aviena's POV"What? What happened?” Veron asked me as she peeked into the bathroom. I just shh signed to her while looking at the pregnancy test that was in the sink."Positive!" I can't help but shout silently. Veron couldn't stop herself from staying still because of that. I almost threw her the pregnancy test she was holding because of her noise. She couldn't even stop herself from hugging me.“Finally! Is it a man? I hope it's a boy! I will get Pride pregnant me again so we can really be family,” she told me so I couldn't stop shaking my head at her."What? All of the eight pregnancy tests, all are positive?” she asked. I nodded there so she smiled broadly.“Your husband will be happy for sure! I saw Pride doing the prayer ritual the other day. I thought they were losing their minds because they had a candle around the hideout,” she told me so I couldn't help but laugh before shaking my head.It's been years since the incident happened. The Dark Society tried to have a partnership
Aviena's POVAfter we spend my time with our daughter, we also decided to go to rehab. Camillia doesn't want us to go, we said that we were just going to visit someone. Starting earlier she just keep on clinging to us. Only then did she agree when Seren said that they were going to take a nap because they still have plans to watch their favorite Disney princess later."Are you sure you wanted to meet your sister?" River asked so I immediately nodded. He doesn't have a choice but takes me there. We also have bodyguards who are just scattered around. Even the bachelors have sent a bunch as well.When we arrived at the rehab, Big Sister was immediately called. Big Sister came out with some who was holding her.She's wearing a uniform. I couldn't stop the tears from dripping from my eyes when I finally examined her. She looks so thin. She's just looking downwards."Big Sister…" I weakly said. She immediately looked at me because of that. Her eyes immediately widened before she immediately
Aviena's POVMy eyes immediately widened as I looked back at the speaker. Big Sister Rose let out a wide grin on me when she saw the shock in my eyes."What are you doing here?" I asked inevitably, staring at her. She's wearing a lab gown while her hair is back black now. She just let out a wide grin before approaching. I am not moving in my position. I was just looking at her. I couldn’t help the sadness in my eyes."Don't you fucking dare look at me as if you pity me!" She shouted loudly as she looked at me. I couldn’t help but cry as I looked at her. I just don't know what to feel anymore.“What happened to you, Big Sister? How… How did you end up like this?” I tried to walk in her side but she was the one who backed away now. After a while, she stopped while looking at me angrily.“What do you fucking think? I became a fucking prostitute to fucking survive but what do you think happened? I wasn't able to fucking go out. There's no end to it! They won't let me go!” she shouted loud
Aviena's POV"I will, Wife… I will…" he softly promised as he hugged me again for the second time. I cried even more because this is the first time I asked for help. I always feel like everything is just my burden to carry but right… how can I fucking forget that I have River? I have River, to begin with."I'm sorry…" I cried even louder when I said that.“I’m sorry for not thinking about what you feel at all. I'm sorry for being scared… I… just don't want my daughter to live her life being scared of the world. I'm scared that she'll kill her… I'm scared of all the decisions Big Sister will do… ” I said weakly."When did everything start?" he calmly asked when I calmed down. I was stunned there. River held my hand.“You don’t have to tell me now if you’re not fine, love… I’m sorry for asking a question. You may take your time… ” he whispered before kissing me on the forehead. I smiled at him and shook my head.“6 years ago… When I came back home from a trip, I realized I was pregnant
