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
Aviena's POV“Let’s go. I'll drop you home,” he told me so I couldn't help but to roll my eyes."I told you, I have my car," I said, being annoyed, so I could see the smile on his lips."Where is it then?" he asked me as he leaned back in his Lamborghini."It's just here earlier," I said weakly because even if I turned around the whole parking lot, I still couldn't find my car."Your car got towed I think?" he said seriously but the playfulness was noticeable in his voice. I couldn't help but look at him.Towed— my ass? Here? My car was properly parked earlier! I know he did something again."Where is it, Savellano?" I ask.“Hmm, let me just give you a ride while I was staying here, Mrs. Savellano,” he said before opening the door. He even raised his eyebrow as he ushered me into his car.I can't help but think twice. Should I tell him about our daughter now? What should I do?Eventually, I nervously got into his car. I was about to adjust my seatbelt when I heard Camillia's voice fro
Aviena's POV"Still mad at me, Baby?" I asked Camillia as I approached her. She immediately frown at me so I couldn't stop pouting before I tried to say sorry to her."I'm sorry… Something came up…" I said so she immediately looked at me and raised an eyebrow."And what is that?" she asked. She even folded her arms as she looked at me."Who's with you earlier, Mama?" Camillia asked. Even though she was sulking, she still couldn't stand asking about it."Is that Mister River Savellano?" She could barely utter those questions."That's your father, Camillia… Your Papa…" I said so she stopped."I'll introduce you to him…" I said so she immediately shook her head. She was just staring as if she was thinking so I look at her."Not yet, Mama… I still… Uh… want to win the swimming competition this week before I'll do that…" she said to me so I couldn't help but stare at her. I don't know if I should be happy or feel bad that she's so mature at her age."Don't you want your father to support y
Aviena's POV"Mom." Camillia gripped my waist tightly while hiding behind me. I could feel her nervousness. So am I. I know that she's just scared that her father won't like her."Damn it." I even heard some squeaks and murmurs of River as he averted his eyes from us. I also noticed the redness in his eyes when he realize something. Mixed emotions can also be read in him. Anger, pain, and excitement."She's my daughter… Heck… I have a child…" I don't know but the joy on his face now prevailed."Camillia…" I called my daughter who still wouldn't let me go. She tightened her grip on me even more so I faced her before I sat down in front of her.“That’s Papa… We promise each other that we’ll introduce you to him, right? He's here now… ” I said before kissing my daughter on the forehead. Camillia looked back and forth at the two of us before she slowly nodded. I held her hand before smiling at her. She clung tightly to me as she looked at her father."River, this is Camillia… Our daughter
