(Luis POV)
As we left, I only heard the ghost of a shattering noise from that room. Tsk. I honestly wanted to cry with rage. I was having a hard time.
After the long years of suffering, why was my heart still so soft and forgiving? Why didn’t I harden up like how my father has become? Was it because I knew they’re wrong? Or was it because I’m still cherishing my mother’s memories.
“My baby. Helping others in need and protecting everyone is a real treasure. Be brave. Be strong. But make sure your heart stays compassionate, “she’d usually say.
My mother was under a novitiate to becoming a nun when my father met her. She was forced to leave the convent after what dad did to her. My mother is a lovely woman. She’s religious to a fault and loved to help. She didn’t complain about her fate or questioned her faith after dad raped her.
I was the result of the sinful committed a
(Sena POV)“Hmm. Sean, how can I help you? ““Are you bored?” he answered me with another question. I wanted to help but he sounded like it was I who needed help. “Let me finish this and I'm going to teach you something.”“Huh?”He didn’t answer me and just talked to Leon.“What are your favorite flowers?” Huh? Why? Is he making a slam note?“Stephanotis and gardenia,” I smiled.“What are those?”Sure thing, Sean didn’t know anything about flowers. Why though? Is he buying me a bouquet?Leon and him got into a conversation again.Anyway, gardenia symbolizes peace and calmness. It’s just too fragrant to suit the meaning it stands for. Stephanotis, on the other hand, symbolizes marital happiness. It’s perfect for Sean and I.I left the dining area and went for a walk. Sean's pets greete
(Sena POV)Sean sat like a prince as he watched me on my lesson. He kept on shaking his head and motioned to Cecile to make me repeat my walk. After several failed attempts, he finally stood up.His face was angry. I was also frowning at his impossible standard.“Be a Herald Lady, Sena!” he shouted. “Tsk! Cecile, help her change into an elegant dress. We’re going to attend a fashion show. “Fashion show? He left without telling me anything else.Cecile pulled me to my wardrobe to get a dress that I never thought I would wear before. When we’re done with the makeover… Wow. Guess it’s time to advertise Cream Silk. ‘I choose to be beautiful!’The only things missing were the red carpet and cameras.I was wearing a long gown with a slit on the left leg side. It was flaming red in color and the jewelries that fashion designer chose were expensive. What if I lose
(Sena POV)Leon suddenly placed a folder in front of me. Oh my! I’ve seen him give papers like that to Sean before, documents with which my husband has been busying himself with for a few days already. Did they finally need my help?“Let's test your knowledge about the industry since you’re a graduate of an art-related course, “Sean said. “You'll be the representative of HMB. Whoever you choose will be the Ambassador Model of HMB in Singapore. Do you understand? Be a good critic. “Me?“Better to read the portfolios of the candidates first.”I was nervous.I wanted to refuse but if they need me for that, I shouldn’t turn them down. Fighting Sena! If Theriss was on my place, she would definitely agree.Every model was beautiful. It was pain in the butt to choose.“Stop being so obvious that you’re struggling. Have pride. &ld
(Sena POV)I really wanted to sing with my idol! I wanted to take a picture with her! Bye Taylor. 😭😭😭😭I just did my job and gave Leon the result I came up with. Immediately, he had me escorted outside to the private room where Sean was. 😭😭😭 I was annoyed at Sean. But he smiled at me and applauded. Teasing, eh?! It seemed nice to slap my stilettos at his face.“Good act, Sena.” Oh, so he watched?"Cecile, can you give me casual clothes? I want to take an autograph and picture with Taylor," I said and ignored Sean. Having seen Taylor was still fine even if it wasn’t Lee Min Ho my love.“We’re running out of time. Let's go,” Sean killed my excitement.Whoa! Heyyy! It’s unfair, Sean! You’re a total killjoy.I helplessly went with him and just spent the travel in silence. I didn’t talk to him even inside the car.The car stopped in front of a ver
(Sena POV)“Cecile, I haven’t seen Leah for a long time. Why is it?”“Miss Sena, Leah left a long time ago already.”“Why? Was she fired? ““No. She said she needed to take care of her sick mother. ““I think Sean has something to do with this again.”Cecile didn’t respond anymore and just combed my hair.“Cecile, did you put away the gifts that everyone gave us on our birthday?”She stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded. “That was Butler Nazi's idea too.”“Why?”I didn’t know why I was asking that question. Maybe because they’re just being sensitive about how I would feel after what happened during that day. My baby…“I understand. You know, I have these weird foresights in my dreams ever since I was a kid. Most of the time they happen. Some just w
(Sena POV)And suddenly the whole rooftop lit up. There were flowers in the middle. A red carpet that ended in nowhere. And lots of rose petals on the floor.I was suddenly blushing.“Sean…”The fireworks display continued and it ended with a violin music.I couldn’t move because Sean's smile was ear to ear. His eyes were gleaming in genuine happiness. How could he smile like that despite the stairs that we climbed?Sean suddenly squeezed my cheek. “Piglet.”I just touched the skin that he pinched. It felt like a dream. How did somebody like him love me so much?“And you spoiled this pig too much,” I replied to him.“It's natural, you’re my wife. If you don't know, I am the best spoiler person in this world. “I didn’t know what to say anymore. All I got was, “I might get used to it.”“It's fine, sinc
(Sena POV)I even envied that woman's luck.Now who's lucky?That wish that one day you will meet the love of your life, a man who will challenge even fate just to prove that it has no control as long as the heart beats.Your wish that one day someone will give you flowers. A knight that will protect you from everyone. Sena, you found him. Thanks, Sean.He proved that he’s willing to say in hardship and in bliss. That he accepted me wholeheartedly no matter who I am. I smiled as I walk. Still shy and overwhelmed. Sean took my hand and also smiled. Yey. It’s a date, right?We had a lot of time to get to know each other before that official date. He’s a little bit of an airhead but our love story was cute.Sean let go of my hand and pulled a chair for me. I sat down and he took the seat in front of me. Haha, my smile was already plastered on my face.
(Sean POV)Sena was drunk.“She’s crazy,” she pouted. “I'm sorry if I'm too crazy.”“There are things you don't need to apologize for, especially it's all about your feelings. The people around you were responsible for making you feel that way. ““Maybe. Why do you love crazy people? ““I just found myself wanting to protect her. She's the most stupid person I’ve ever met. ““Tsk. How dare you?! You want me to kick you in your seat? I’ll push you off of this building. You will definitely be in the news. ‘Wife pushed her husband from the rooftop’. Bwahaha. Only Mister Limuel will seek justice for you. ““Crazy.”“Are you ashamed of me?”I smiled. “Is that what you think of me? Sena, I just said I do spoil a lot. Especially my wife. Do whatever you want and don't listen to any
(Sena POV)“Hey, Sean! Come back here! Don't tire me out. It's too early in the morning for me, and I'm on my period! "My ghad. What kind of trick you're doing on me Sean to make me pissed like this. Also, he was aware that I have my menstruation today but what he wants is to make me chase him and be bullied by him. You're too cruel Sean!It's a good thing Bloody Mary isn't causing me too much pain, but I can feel my lower body weakening."Sean! I'm ti— Aww." Which causes me to writhe in pain.Oh no... What is this? My abdomen is suddenly throbbing with pain! Dysmenorrhea!Oh, bloody Mary, don't make me regret thinking I wouldn't feel the pain of menstruation.I put one hand in my stomach. And this is what they called dysmenorrhea. Severe and frequent menstrual cramps and pain during your period.Awww... This is excruciating.I close my eyes and feel the pain's presence. My dea
(Luis POV)Sean's men stood in front of the trash protester who had been sent here by my father. According to my calculations, Levi must pay for nearly fifty people faking the protest today. Tsk. And I believe there are a lot of them if Sean doesn't do anything to reduce their number. My stepbrother knows how to play the dirty game of the Madrid Elder. He used to do it for almost a handful of years.When they became aware of me. I knew as soon as I heard their voices that they recognized me for who I truly was. I turned away from them, and Sean's men were alarmed when those people, particularly the media, approached me.It is my father's trash, and I have a responsibility to take care of it as his son. This is the responsibility of a good son and a man of initiative.I dialed my secretary's number."Hiro.""Sir Luis," he asserts.“The Madrid E
(Luis POV)Hmmm. I'm intrigued. How many times have they exchanged saliva?Isn't that disgusting? Or am I just cynical?Sena persisted in her belief that she should triumph over Sean. If not, she is a loser and she wouldn't let it happen."It continues to affect me as a productive citizen of our country.As you may be aware, there is a scarcity of creative artists in our country. Specifically, my qualifications as a hard worker and a kind person. Do you disagree with me, Sean?"That made me smile because it's true.We can be defined by two things: our patience when we have nothing and our attitude when we have everything.Sena remains the same, even though Sean gives her everything, and nothing has changed in her; I am proud of her.Sean, on the other hand, responds with a smirk."Kind and hardworking... where are those, Sena?" he
(Luis POV)“How dare you, Luis. She’s, my wife. Never, ever dare or else— Aw!”Hahaha. Sena hit Sean on his shoulder, which makes me smile. It's as if I'm watching a comedy-drama where I want them to stay happy and not even a single storm come into their lives. They are an absolutely wonderful couple.How dare they plan to devastate and harm this good couple."You seriously underestimate me!And you do italways on a daily basis! ""Ouch, Sena,""You didn't value me as your wife. Oh yeah, you have everything, and I am nothing in you! You treat me like a hen, and after I lay an egg, I have to give up my time to hatch your eggs! You're far too cruel."Wait, why is my brain suddenly turning green? Is Sena alluding to Sean's egg? Ahahaha.Which I can't help but make a laugh at my Li
(Luis POV)"Stop it, Sean. You don't have to worry about my safety if that's only your concern. How could I help you if I only stay in the comfort zone you've given me? How do I become productive?"She gave us a forceful laugh."My hardworking neurons want to return to be productive again.""Your words are also meaningless," Sean added.I'm sure he has a lot of bullets in his arsenal for making Sena irritated and annoyed. I'm just smiling at them, the way they're conversing. They are not your typical sweet couple, especially my stepbrother."Your words are causing me pain, Sean!"My cousin is about to get up, but Sean has managed to keep her seat."However, if you improve a little, Sena, you will most likely be welcome in my company."Sena is a woman who should not get involved in business matters, especially when it comes to making a decision in a
(Luis POV)Cecile's expression reveals the question she wanted to ask: why should I be the one to be grateful that it should her boss to do that?But in the end, she nodded at me when the couple approached us.Sena's face...I'm not sure what they were talking about that made Sena pout like a duckI give them a friendly smile.I took the cup of coffee I had been busy making while talking to Cecile. I took a sip and watched how Sean have a silly conversation with his wife.Sena took notice of me."Tell me boss Luis, did you two just happen to meet in the park? How dare Sean not even wake me up. I wished I have come with him. I want to breathe fresh air too.""You can't come with me; I'd rather not wake you up if all I get is a beating from an angry wild duck mom who has disturbed her sleep. Tss."Sean reacted immediately to what Sena to
(Luis POV)"He deserved it.""He is still your father," I was surprised to hear. "But he is very demonic." Is it impossible for your father to change? Tsk. Tsk."I smiled at him, knowing how much Sean loves his father.His staff greeted us with a benevolent bow and escorted us to the elevator."I want to make him realize that it's not too late for him, but knowing that he's been poisoned gradually, he's not doing anything; he just goes with the flow. What for? Why is he doing this?"He is, indeed, still my father. As my parent, I hold him in high regard. He, on the other hand, is the one who did not respect himself. He's living as if he's a mistake, doing the worst things possible. His personality and attitude toward his leadership are identical to the previous Elders. How many lives have been sacrificed because of our family? Tsk. They are demonic in n
(Sean POV)When he caught up with me, he asked, "When are you coming home?""Does your good family have another plan for us during ourtravel all the way back home?" He smiled at me."Who knows, you might not make it home alive.""Tss. What is your father's plan?""Since they abandoned Rhen.You're probably aware that they want to take something else from you. Sean, my father is not only your adversary. There are quite a few of them.""As if I didn't already know.""Are you scared already? ""Tss."“Right now, they're targeting your wife.""That's not even surprised me."Because his father was obviously carrying out his plan. Then my wife is the one they should target if I am the one, they are trying
(Sena POV) "Last night was hopeless. I feel I was betrayed." I smile at him. "I counted your cycle. It may sound strange, but it is part of my respect for you, Sena. I was expecting you to have today, but you don't appear to be in pain. Tell me, has your period arrived yet?" My husband isn't a blatant sexual maniac; he even counted my cycle as if he were the one who was going to have a period. But looking at his expression... He is completely defeated. Bloody Mary has defeated him! "Why are you smiling like crazy Sena? Are you deceiving me?" Then I burst out inlaughter. He is making my stomach in pain because of his face. "Sena!" "I can't help it, Sean. You lookand sound funny. Ahahaha." He closes his eyes, perhaps to recharge his patience with me. "Possibly later or tomorrow? You didn't count it incorrectly, right?" "Sena..." he says, alm
