((SEAN))
Nazi explained to me why Sena prepared an instant noodle as my lunch that day. Sena said we have a mutual taste. How ambitious was she?
She’s obviously suffering with her menstruation, which was a good sign that she wasn’t sexually assaulted when she was kidnapped.
((SENA))My abdomen would hurt even more if I just lie down and notice the pain. I also already took a quick bath with warm water. I really wanted to use the bathtub but thought that there might be a red tide inside if I bleed on the water. Jane and Lea tirelessly took care of me throughout. How much were their salaries? Though I could say I didn’t really need the assistance because I could take care of myself.
Suddenly, my attention went to the paintings and the furniture around me. Even though the paintings there were almost all traditional and ancient, the lighting of the room gave it a modern appeal. Some of Sean's staff that I met on the hallway immediately bowed as courtesy so I also bowed to them. Everything about Sean's mansion was so over the top! I guessed it was a place of mixed race and culture. There’re Japanese, English, and what else were the nationalities there?Cecile also appeared out of nowhere.
( Sena POV's)As Cecile led me to another hallway and I was looking at the wall paintings, I heard the sound of a piano. It was actually my dream to learn how to play at least one musical instrument because I wasn’t an inborn musician. I could only listen to and feel music. Paint brushes and computer mouse were all my hands could handle. Out of all ‘arts’ there is, I could just draw or paint.Cecile talked to the two guards but they shook their heads as they denied us entrance. What a wasted chance. I really wanted to know who was playing the piano.
( Sena's POV)Cecile continued touring me around the mansion. And when we went outside, I was overwhelmed with fascination again. A large fountain was in the heart of a flowering garden. There were Koi fishes in the water and butterflies above the plants. I didn’t know where they came from but they made the place more beautiful. I was walked around until I saw four men in a conversation. They stopped talking when they saw me and bowed. Why were they so formal? I wasn’t even a princess. Did I look like a princess? Duh!
( Sena's POV)Before nightfall, I looked for Sean. I wanted to gossip or try and bully him because it’s too unfair for me to get teased all the time. That’s too unflattering. Cecile said he’s in the study room near the library. I sneaked from Cecile’s watch because I knew how tired they were earlier. I just went to Sean alone.I wanted to interview him about his wealth so in case he dies, I’d inherit everything. I doubted that he’d share his secret to me. That selfish man, if he could tell me how to get rich, I might immediately pay the trillions that I owed him. What’s his secret?
((SENA))I almost never ran out of the word ‘wow’ for that day and hopefully that dress would be my final wow. It was a cocktail dress for my graduation. Cecile prepared it earlier along with three boxes of jewelry as options for what I could pair for that attire. I closed the boxes and thought that my classmates would wonder which pawnshop did I holdup.Suddenly, there
((RHEN))“So, Leon… when are you getting rid of Sena?” It was the first time in ages that I get to talk to Leon again.I was friends with his late wife, or should I say, he liked me
((SENA))I just fixed my gaze on the ceiling light until…“*Hic. “Oops. I had hiccups.
(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
