(Sena POV)
Until the talk reach about business.
No one seemed to have a courage to interview me except the old man next to Sean.
I cling to my husband arms and make sure my smile perfectly attached to my lips.
When...
“Let's give a toss for the happy couple, Mrs. and Mr. Herald!” the master ceremony divulge.
I was astonished, but I trust Sean, he knows what's going on.
Sean smiled. He took his wine glass.
Everyone stood up. I got up too.
"Cheers!"
I raised my wine glass as well. They drink it, while me, I restrain.
I might make a scene that Sean's will definitely be embarrassed and disappoint about my behavior.
After the tossed, they applauded.
I realized the surroundings is beautiful. The interior designer was indeed genius.
A waitress passed by; I grab something to drink. I
(Sena POV)I halted Cecile when I saw Luis alone on the terrace. Twirling the wine glass, he was holding. He seems looking at something outside.I approached him. He didn't notice me, so I stared at what he was staring at.Huh? Nothing.Is he just stunned?I get his attention by patting his shoulder. Then instantly I smile when he faced me.He responds with a lonely smile.He is sad."Sorry." He blurted.Huh? What for?“I mean I didn't notice you were around. Where's your husband?”“He was with someone, a business partner, I guess. I didn’t notice where they were. What are you looking at?” Luis nodded. Then smile again.“I just want to talk to him. Seems he is really busy. How are you?""I’m doing great."His eyes are dim…"Are you sick?"
(Sena POV)Regardless of whatever I call him as long I see this person authentic smiles, it's okay with me.He doesn’t deserve to be sad.Why? Will arrange marriage take place again to find him a suitable wife?"Does Miss Rhen really not want to marry you?"“Circumstances are the ones who refuse. Chances were over dealing with her.”"Where is she now?"Luis sighed because it seemed like I just repeated the same question.Is that hard to answer my question?Maybe because Rhen was Luis ex. Why am I asking him anyway?"I guess, arranged marriage is the reason why you're sad."He smiled. He noticed that I change my question away from Miss Rhen issues.Honestly, it is really my follow up question.Why does Miss Rhen don't like Luis?It's obvious that Sean is the one who's being teased by Rhen which he
(Luis POV)“It's a sh*t tradition! A f*cking cult tradition! It's bulshit! Tsk. Who told you that I like someone? F*ck off! I didn't love anyone!”I protested. But my father remained staring at me with his bitter smile.Here I am again in front of him. We talked again about the tradition of passing his throne to me.Tss.“Really? You know what son, it's good that you fell in love with your own cousin. We won't have any more difficulties. ""WHAT THE F*CK!"“Shhh. You don't like that? You will sacrifice your competitor in this position. Hahaha. There's another fact I want to reveal, my son. YOUR MOTHER WAS MY SACRIFICE when I got this prestige."“Tss! As if I don't know!”“See?! You already have an idea from the beginning about our family tradition. Is t
(Luis POV)“Honestly my son, I do love your mother. I want to protect him. You know why I didn't do what I wanted. I am damn helpless. Same as you are right now!”“I am not like you. Release Rhen at once! Stop pestering Herald couple and never touch my children or else you'll find my cold body!”He applauds to my defiance. Walking around and obviously he is holding back as well.I don't want to use this card. I know my father still cares for me. Definitely he will listen to my own life threaten.He turned to me. Stared at me directly. I am not kidding as he was serious too.I was not shaken the way he stares me. Waiting for what he would say was his final decision.Suddenly he grinned. What is this again?Then he signals his man who is holding the gun pointing at Rhen's head.I was almost deaf when I heard it explode.
(Luis POV)“Tss. Just like the principles when I am on your age. I will kill them instantly if I get this throne. I know this idea was moving back and forth to your mind. But no. I can't uncover who are they really! So, stop making this thing difficult! You will understand me sooner when you take over the position.”"COWARD!"“Coward?! Protecting your stepbrother is the heroic I did for the sake of everyone! And-. Tss. Get him out!”When I heard what he said. I stopped his men from dragging me out.“What about my stepbrother?! You did protect him?! Really? Wow! I'm sure you protect him from yourself!""Lock him up!"They dragged and locked me in my room. I immediately kicked the stuff around me. My mind became more confused.They imprisoned me for a few days. Until the day comes that I c
(Sean POV)When we get to the suite Sena immediately laid on the bed.She's deadly tired, I know.Sena, thank you anyway for giving your best tonight.Cecile took care of her.I expressed my gratitude to the presence of Mr. Earl. He said some things that I didn't quite understand, especially about Sena's parent. As if he knew her very well. He didn't even feel new to the presence of my wife when I introduced her."I wish I have plenty of time to have a conversation with your wife." Because he left immediately when someone called him after I closed my deal with him."She's lovely and kind. I think you have a hard time to get her."I smiled.Actually, I didn't even know she is my girlfriend before she uttered at my face, she is.I remember that dinner in the province. I am impressed to her the way she makes me happy."I'm g
(Sean POV)Leon laid out in front of my schedule for today."Did you invite Luis?""Master Luis secretary respond to us that they will join you at the Marina Bay Golf Course by 3:30 pm."I nodded.I didn't talk to Luis last night in the party because I was busy. Moreover, he proved to me that he had nothing to do with what his father's doing. But even if he proves it, I don't have to be complacent.I noticed in Leon's schedule something that makes me face him.He gets what I mean.“We need to visit on that place Master Sean. A new discover flavor and old wines will be soon release on the market. Your wife will be grateful to learn on making a wine. She might discover something interesting.”I smile to him. It was a good idea.Where is Sena good at?Haist.Does that woman really have talent or skill?Yes, she l
(Sean POV)"Cecile, can you please lead my wife to the breakfast table?"I feel my wife take the seat beside next to me. When I said my request to Cecile she stared at me in disbelief."Are you driving me away?""Tss.""Miss Sena."I heard her gasp.“Oh no! Sean, remember, thou shall not kill. Okay?" She tapped my shoulder."After the nonsense talked with Leon, you must follow me. Don't say to me your only have a tea for breakfast.”She warned me with a pinched in my tummy side.Tss. I have no time for this Sena. The nonsense talked was the words coming from your mouth.“Leon please slow down. I don't know what you're talking about, but I know you can do that. Fighting!”He finally stood up and eagerly followed Cecile.Somehow, I am grateful having he
(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
