Aviena's POV"You're just using him for money, right?" she asked me.“What are you talking about, Ate? I love River. You know I've already fallen for him,” I said seriously so she laughed.“Really? Really, huh? We both know that you only marry him because of money! You owe me why you are together today!” she shouted at me so I frowned at her. Is she losing her mind?“And now, I’ll fucking get what I should have. River is really mine. I just really lent him to you!” she said so I couldn't believe I looked at her.“Do you want to check up, Ate? I will introduce you to my psychiatrist,” I told her. He looked at me angrily because of that."I didn't break up with Gilbert for you to have River all alone!" she shouted angrily at me so little by little my lips parted."What?" I don’t know if I’ll laugh at him or what. I don’t even know if it’s a joke now. I wish she was joking because I might not have guessed if she was serious about what he was saying now.“Fuck you! You can still really ha
Aviena's POVOnly then did I realize that Ate was really the one who did all this when I saw some reporters that she often talked to with another article about me. Add to those things, Gilbert's chats are saying that Ate is the mastermind of everything. If Ate didn't just admit it and if she hadn't threatened me, I'm unlikely to believe Gilbert but now that she shows her true color, I don't know if she really considers me as her sister. She managed to hurt me. It's okay if it's just me but she's also threatening my child right now.I just dropped my phone when I heard a knock from outside the door. I thought it's River. Even if that one has a key, he still likes me opening the door for him. I just stopped when I saw River's sister and his mother after I open the door. I barely swallowed because of them. I didn't even bother changing clothes and fixing myself. I'm even wearing my comfy clothes.I immediately saw River's mother raising her eyebrow at me. I immediately bowed down because
Aviena's POV“Whore! I've been your fan since high school! I didn't believe the accusations against you but it looks like the person I supported was really wrong!” a fan shouted loudly as I exited the building. Tessy just held me.“You are embarrassing! They already have a family but you still choose to flirt with them!” One almost hurt me when I passed by."You're ruining some love team because of you being slut!" another said before someone threw an egg at me. I seemed to lose my breath for fear that I might harm the child again but I was glad when some of River's bodyguards tried to protect me. They're here now.I don’t really get some of those love team fans to think that their idol’s world should just revolve around each other. It was as if they really should have just stayed with them forever when in fact they were just working together. Not that I really make a move on some of those guys they're linking to me. I didn't even know some of them but because of the media, it looks l
River's POV"I'm on my way," I coldly said to my secretary. I don't even know why do I need to watch this fucking awarding.I was so annoyed because Grandpa had no other thing to say but to marry someone. I still have a pile of documents in my office but I need to congratulate people who got their awards.The party is already starting when I got there. I was just about to enter when a woman rushed out, which is why she bumped into me."I'm sorry," she weakly said. I had no intention of talking to her but I just frowned when I saw how she suddenly vomited. And fucking worst, she pukes on my hands.“Holy cow! I'm sorry!” There was a look of confusion on her face. She didn’t even know how to wipe my hand. I couldn’t help but wince before irritably removing her hands and wiping mine. She looked so scared while doing it.“Damn it. I'm already late!” I was annoyed and would have gone straight to leave but I could see that she look so pale while in her place. I was even more irritated. I fee
River's POVFor years I always watch her from afar. I tried to think that it was just mere attraction even if I really like her."Are you still a fanboy, Brother?" Ocean asked me laughingly when she heard from Marissa about me, like an actress. She doesn't know Aviena's name. Just know I’m a fanboy of whoever it is. I just gave her a cold look. It's just annoying how both of them tease me. "Looks like the girl you like already has a boyfriend," Marissa said while reading some articles and news about her. She was linked with one of her co-actors. I just smiled there before continuing with the work. I can't really do anything about that. She's pretty and many people like her. I'm just one of them.But I also know that some news is just too exaggerated. I saw her at some parties and they just talked but people will already assume that Aviena's dating them. And she's now having a big fandom so people are really interested in her.Just a small thing she does, it will always be the talk of
Aviena's POV"Where's my niece, Aviena?" Ocean asked me excitedly when she entered the house. I couldn’t avoid shaking my head before turning it to her niece who almost broke her classmate's head earlier.“She’s grounded. You are not allowed to go shopping,” I said so Ocean's eyes widened at me. She seems even more offended because of that.“Why, Aviena? What she has done again?” Ocean asked while laughing. I can't avoid shaking my head because she's definitely on her side again."Ask your good niece about that," I sarcastically said. Camillia, on the other hand, seemed to be listening to our conversation.“I didn’t mean to do that, Mom! He is the reason why I do that!” As well as his dad’s thing when he's frustrated, she also got it. That's saying Tagalog words.“Aba, Hija, when you have a fault, I told you that you don’t have to blame others. Is it right for you to punch your friend just because you are annoyed?” I asked, giving her another bad look. She immediately sit up straight
Aviena's POV“Hey. How are you? It's been so long since the last time I saw you,” she told me. It's Marissa. Her long, curly hair is now short. Even today, her beautiful body still remains. I was a little nervous for fear that she might see Camillia. She's River's best friend, she's not likely to mention that but still, she's Marissa, she doesn't just talk, she teases.“Hey… How are you? You look more blooming right now,” I told her."Just self-love, Beh," she joked so I couldn't help but laugh before shaking my head."What are you doing here?" She asked me."Oh, just a vacation…" I said.“You still don't plan to go home? My friend will die on making himself happy,” she said, still laughing. I couldn’t avoid shaking my head because on the outside Marissa was really innocent, different inside though. I don't know if I'll laugh or miss River instead. I just shook at myself because of the thoughts.“Oh, well. I won't meddle with the two of you. You are grown up,” she said with a smile.“
Aviena's POV“Yup. After Mama's work, I'll come home immediately. Let's go for a walk,” I said to Camillia who immediately nodded at me. We're back in Amsterdam, we went home right away. Ocean get irritated because I'm also going to introduce Camillia to my father, but I'm still taking it longer. She was also really right about that. I'm really a coward and I really hate myself for being that way.River looks like he's ready to make me come home when we meet.It's been 2 weeks since we came back to Amsterdam. It's only 2 weeks and we're going home to the Philippines. I still have work right now. I still have a photo shoot before I head to the animation company I work for.“See you later, Mama. I love you,” Camillia said before kissing me on the cheeks. The smile spontaneously spread on my lips before I kissed her on the forehead."Be nice to Manang Ladies, okay?" She smiled and nodded one after another. Manang Ladies was actually her Nanny since we got here in Amsterdam. I was also to
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
