Aviena's POVI didn't even fall asleep last night with so much thinking. So the next morning, I woke up to find Camillia no longer with me. I immediately felt nervousness and fear in me."Camillia?" I called her name while looking for her.It wasn’t just the first time I woke up nervous because my daughter wasn’t there. Even more, now that we are here in the Philippines."Camillia!" I shouted while barefoot.I was about to run out of the room when I hit a wall or should I say River? I can see River frowning at me now."Our daughter is now in the kitchen," he told me. River was just looking at me. I let out only a sigh especially when I saw he still look mad at me.I didn't bother changing my clothes, I can only breathe easily if I saw my child now.I immediately saw Camillia standing on the side while watching her Grandma cook. She almost got up from her chair to see what she was cooking."Mom!" Camillia shouted and even smiled at me. Only then did I realize that her Grandmother, Rive
Aviena's POVWe stopped to just buy some fast food. After that, we will go straight to Baguio.When River is in front of Camillia, he is always smiling but when his eyes are on mine, he is always glaring at me, he is ready to throw a pit. I can’t avoid shaking my head there. We were on a trip when Levi called me asking for some revisions of our project. Well, I told him to call me if there's a problem with our project because we really only have a few staff there. I also want our project to be good.“How's your flight. Does Camillia enjoying your stay in the Philippines now?” Levi asked me when we are already done talking about our project. It seems like it was also his break."She is," I said with a smile.“Godfather Levi is asking about you, Camillia. Say hi,” I said to Camillia who immediately greeted her godfather. Instead of her godfather asking for a gift, she's the one who's asking for one. I was just laughing there. Levi was really nice. That one really loved the child becaus
Aviena's POV"I only like you, My love," I said, looking at Camillia, who immediately pouted.“I mean Dad, Mom. Not me,” she said so I just laughed before messing up her hair.“Just eat. Maybe you're just really hungry,” I laughed and changed the subject. I just told her to te her some stories when she and her Auntie Ocean are together.I also can't help but look around just to see how secure the place is. When we finished eating. Both River and I just clean the place. I have also become accustomed to cleaning since I have a child. I can't be so messy anymore.After a while, I also cleaned Camillia's body. River also entered the bathroom after us while I just fixed the television that Camillia and I would watch later. There are three rooms here. River said we will stay here in the big one.When Camillia heard the door open from the bathroom outside our room, she immediately ran to call her father. I just smiled too. I like how there are no uncomfortable and awkward moments in the two
Aviena's POVWe also didn't follow the plan to stay in Cebu for so long because River's Grandpa sent us home immediately. He was immediately reprimanded for not even bringing Camillia to their house before we traveled.I can already feel the nervousness in me. I'm also preparing to their resentment to me because I didn't say that River and I had a child when in fact we didn't separate. No divorce took place or what.“Ma, what does Grandpa looks like? Is he scary? ” Camillia asked me so I shook my head. He's not really that scary but he just always likes to have a grandchild so I feel like he'll be angry that I even hid Camillia from him."Auntie said that he is," Camillia said so I just laughed. He's scary when it comes to his granddaughter's suitors.We're in the car now and Camillia keeps questioning River's family. I also answer her questions. I just don't really know if they change now.“Grandpa likes you already,” River said while he was driving. Camillia just nodded and smiled a
Aviena's POV"What did Mommy tell you?" River asked me."Did she say something again?" he asked again as we went back to where his relatives are. I smiled at him before shaking my head."No, we just talk about things," I said so I could see his gaze on me. Fortunately, Camillia came to pull River and me together. They were having a barbeque party. I couldn’t help but grin as I stared at them.“Come on, let's go, Aviena! I have an extra bikini!” Ocean said with a wide smile when she pulled me inside their house. Camillia was already with her father so Ocean is able to run away with me now.“Kuya's still mad, right? Maybe this is your chance to attract Kuya,” she said, still laughing. Tashi, who was on the other side, laughed as well while I just shook my head and pinched Ocean. She laughed and walked away. Ocean is really annoying when you become close to each other. No. She was already annoying before we became friends. Even more so now."As if I can get your older brother through t
Aviena's POV"Congratulations!" A smile widened on my lips as I greeted Ruby and Marieta. I even laughed softly when I saw Camillia holding two balloons full of some bills for them and a box with only keys for their own condos. It's a gift from River who is also with us today.When I looked back at him he just looked coldly at me. I didn't even get him with what I said. It's also unfortunate because Levi called that time to ask what's in my part in our project. Ending– It made him even more annoyed with me.There are really two processes to the anger of that one. When he just looks at me and rarely speaks, it means he's really mad. When he's already rolling his eyes, his anger is mild. He's just kind of softening now.“Is it true, Kuya? It's embarrassing to accept this!” Marieta said as if she wanted to return the condo key River was giving to her. His family really likes to surprise people with such gifts.But still, I'm happy for Marieta and Ruby. They really deserve it too. If I ju
Aviena's POV"So the two Montellos are the only ones who are not here today," Mate said while looking at us all. I couldn’t help but look at them all."Alas, I would have gossiped with Pres," Mate said whit a smirk so her husband, Demon, just shook his head at her. Her husband is so quiet and she really likes to gossip around.I laughed softly when I heard her talking to her husband.“Don’t you think they’re really together? A lot of people know about them. Ask. ” I can still hear Mate whisper to Demon who is just shaking his head to his wife. Mate took Demon's hand.“Tell him that if they will ever reveal that Mr. President already found the one, tell me first, huh?” Mate asked Demon who just ignored her. It's as if her husband doesn't want to talk to her anymore if she just doesn't keep on asking him. I couldn’t help but laugh while looking at them.On the other side of us, Big BrotherSpring keeps on teasing Tashi who was just serious. And the same with Lake that was also with Rue w
Aviena's POVI just bit my lip so hard while just playing with my hands. I was even more annoyed because of my question to him last night. I was irritated with myself because I couldn't bear that I ask him that.I didn't even wait for his answer because I immediately entered the bathroom. He also looks like he was actually amused when I came out. He still looked like a fool smiling at me last night."Are we going to island-hop, Papa?" Camillia asked excitedly while we were in the chopper. Fortunately, our daughter talked to him because he had been pressed while looking at me. I didn't know how to avert my eyes. It’s just really annoying because no matter what I do, I still can’t calm my heart.I seem like a fool because it's as if I'm going back to the past.“Yep, we will. And we will also try snorkeling. Anything my princess wants,” he said.“Really? Anything?” Camillia asked, looking at me. My eyes immediately narrowed because of the way she looks now.“No. Not anything dangerous. S
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
