Aviena's POV“What are you saying? Do you want to receive a punch?” I ask when we get in the car. He just pouted.“That idiot, he wasn’t even looking at your face. He's just looking at your boobs!” he exclaimed angrily."So what? He can't touch it anyway,” I joked because I'm used to people looking at me like that. I wasn't comfortable with the way they look and I was often afraid of them but I tried to think that it was normal. That's just part of my job. And I hate myself for that. I know that it wasn't. That I should hate them for that."What?" When I looked at River, his face darkened. Irritation was also evident in his voice."Let it go, I don't know him at all," I said just because his face couldn't be painted.“The fuck with that I’ll fucking kill everyone who looks at you like you’re some sex they should taste. Bullshit. ” He was obviously not in a good mood so I tried to lighten the atmosphere between the two of us.“What do you want to eat later? Should I cook your favorite?
Aviena's POV"I want to come with you," River said so I just fickle his forehead.“Stupid. You can not. You said that grandpa wants to discuss something, right? And you have a lot of important business meetings. ” I even smiled at him before trying to get out of his arm.I have a lock-in shoot in Cebu. We were there for 3 days so he insisted on coming but these past few days, he also really has a lot of business meetings and he actually has a lot of things to do in his office especially now because his rival entertainment company is already closed."Where's my goodbye kiss then?" he asked so I couldn't help but laugh before trying to kiss him but that kiss became longer. He didn't release me yet. I fickle his forehead again.“Are you stupid? You are going to take me again! You can't! I need to go. ” I said, looking at him. He laughed because he also knew that he had already ruined his plan. He did nothing but let me go so I could get organized now."I'll come by tomorrow," he said to
Aviena's POVI was already preparing for my shoot when I saw a text from River. He probably doesn't want to wake me up again.Husband:You didn't wake me up.Husband:Good morning, Wife.Husband:Call me when you are already awake.That’s what I did. He already said right away that I didn't wake him up when he answer my call.“You seem like you are having a nice dream. I didn't wake you up,” I said because he was already ranting early in the morning. I just laughed because River always seems serious but he really has a clingy side on him.We just randomly talk about how we plan to spend our time this day."After these meetings, I'll come in your shoot," he said to me so I immediately turned to him. I feel excited but it also disappeared immediately."Nevermind that. I know that you're tired of your work too. You don't have to go here at all. ” I know he will also use a chopper but still it's too tiring.“It’s fine. I told you, you're the rest, Wife,” he said so I just stopped showing
Aviena's POV"River's not replying, Vena?" Tessy asked me. It was as if she wanted to say something but chose to keep her mouth shut. I just smiled a little before looking at my phone. I don't know what's wrong with River but he rarely replies for the past few days. Because of the trouble that happened here on the set, our shoot in Batanes lasted for 7 days.I just typed a message to update him on what I was doing.Me:We're going to our last stop here in Batanes. See you in Sunday!Me:Have you eaten your lunch?Husband:Yup.After that, he had no reply. I don’t know if he was just too busy with his work or just he was really cold to me right now. I just shrugged my shoulders. He probably just has a lot of things to do like me.“Vena, my boyfriend saw River in some bars in Manila. I don't know if you know this but they said that he was with a girl,” Julie said when I passed by their side. I just furrowed my forehead at her. These past few days they always say that to me but I don't r
Aviena's POVI was starting to get annoyed with myself too. I can't control my emotions anymore.I tried not to think about him because he also had no responsibility to me. After all, we don't really need to update each other. I was the only one who thought that it was needed when in fact he's just replying to me because I'm just always trying to talk to him.It's your fault, Aviena. You were thinking that everything about the two of you is normal when in fact it's not. You know you're going to get hurt too but you always say that it will just be in the end.I just smiled to myself before staring at the ceiling of where I was staying.I also heard a knock from outside so I knew immediately that it was my Big Sister, she had called me earlier but I keep on telling her that I'll just follow them.I was also irritated to get up from my bed before I went out. I just acted like I was okay when I was already outside."Let's go?" I asked with a miserly smile now.“The crow already turned whi
Aviena's POVI just raised an eyebrow when I saw River liking some of my Instagram posts. This is my last day here in Batanes and I often see him simply liking some of my posts.We never really talk. I never texted him again while I was traveling here in Batanes. Somehow I forgot to even think about him. That's just right so that I won't think too much.I also started walking before I brought the camera.I'm here in the lighthouse. I couldn’t help but grin while taking the picture. The place is pretty so I enjoy walking around."Ma'am, let me take a picture of you," a woman who looked like a caretaker of the place, said."Sure, thank you!" I said with a wide smile. For days, I just keep on thinking about River and what I was supposed to do.For weeks, I realize that I’m really falling for him even if I don’t admit it to myself, I’m already falling. That's why I really want to distance myself for a while but it's already fine with me if we became friends. So we can treat each other nic
Aviena's POV“Can we talk later? I'm really tired today,” I said because I'm really not in the mood to argue and go along with whatever makes him angry. But this guy seems like he wanted to start a fight."Who are you with?" he asked me.I couldn’t help but frown. And what is it to him? We both know our deal."It's already 5. You said you'll go home at 1," he said so I just closed my eyes. I know… That's the reason why I tried my best to go home as soon as I was discharged.“Let’s just talk later, please. I'm really not in the mood to talk to you,” I said so I could see the look on him. His face was also dark as if he was not happy with me. We're just the same, I'm not really happy to see him right now.I was supposed to lock the door when I saw him going inside too. I just went straight to the toilet to clean my body.When I was over I went out as well. I saw him on the sofa with his laptop. I stared at him for a long while he didn't bother to look at me. Although I won’t admit it, I
Aviena's POV“Seriously, Sir River is sweet. You are really lucky with each other,” they told me so I just laughed awkwardly and just smiled.A few hours later pass by and they came back and forth just to ask me if I'm fine. River also sends food for lunch so the team is really full.When Big Sister came, she really preached while angrily looking at me.“Why are you here early in the morning? Didn't I already tell you that I was going to the penthouse?” she asked me so I just shrugged."I'm itching to work." That's all I said so I can see how she looks at me as if she doesn't believe me. I just smiled before shrugging. We're in public and I don't really like to fight with her right now.“And Grandma said that after you go to Baguio, you leave immediately? You don't have a job. Why are you in such a hurry to go home again? Don't say you're excited to see your husband?” The smile immediately disappeared from my lips when I heard about grandma. I couldn’t help but remember Auntie and Unc
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
