It had been hours since Elaine locked herself in the room after Louis left her alone. She couldn’t quite grasp what she had done wrong for Louis not to reciprocate her feelings for him.

Elaine’s tears flowed endlessly as she tried to find Venice’s name in her contact list, hoping to release her frustrations about what Louis had said to her.

Elaine had always thought that she would fall for Kaizer alone, so she had prepared herself to get hurt because she was sure he only saw her as a friend. But it turned out that what she would experience with Louis was even worse.

She wanted to go somewhere to relax her mind, even just for tonight.

“Hello, Ela, you called?” Venice asked, her face showing concern for Elaine, since it was rare for her to call.

“I-I’m sorry for calling at this hour,” Elaine stammered, still sobbing.

Venice sensed that something was wrong on the other line and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her friend’s situation.

    A few moments of silence passed between Kaizer and Elaine. Neither of them wanted to speak first, both of them nervous about what the other might be thinking.But Kaizer couldn’t take the silence anymore, so he sighed to get Elaine’s attention.“Come on, Ely, we shouldn’t waste time here. I’ll take you home, Louis is probably worried about you,” Kaizer said, causing Elaine to feel even more sad about what she had witnessed.Elaine scratched her head, not wanting to go with Kaizer. She didn’t want to go home right away, especially after seeing Louis with another woman.“W-Well,” Elaine stammered. She wanted to explain why she didn’t want to go home, but no words came out.“Let’s enjoy here for a while,” Kaizer said when he sensed that the girl didn’t want to go with him. He gently lifted her in a bridal carry.Elaine was about to speak when Kaizer asked her, “Who did you come here with? Look at what almost happened to you.” He was frowning, clearly upset with himself for what nearly hap

    ElaineI woke up with the sunlight hitting my eyelids.“Good morning, Ma’am Elaine, I brought you some hot coffee to help with your hangover,” Blaire said as she gently placed a cup with a happy face design on the side table.“Please just call me Elaine, and thank you for bringing the coffee,” I replied, smiling. I sat up. My head still ached from all the wine I drank last night.“I’m not used to calling people by their first names. I usually address the people I serve as ma’am or sir. It’s a habit.” Blaire handed me a wet towel.I wiped my face, whe. I was done, she took the towel from my hand and pointed to the coffee. “Drink this before it gets cold. It looks like you drank too much last night,” she said.I scratched my head because I couldn’t remember much of what I did last night. “Thank you so much. By the way, was Kaizer the one who brought me home last night?” I asked, blowing on the coffee since it was too hot and nearly burned my lips.“I don’t know. Sir Louis just said you w

    After leaving the mansion, Louis immediately got into his Honda Jazz parked in the garage. It was one of the gifts he received from his Uncle Alexander when he turned 21.The truth was, Louis wanted to throw away the car because it was already old. His garage had a lot of parked vehicles due he received every year. Some of the ones he didn’t like were given away to his female cousins.Louis couldn’t understand why his father insisted that he marry Elaine, especially since she was the granddaughter of their organization’s fierce rival. If it was protection he needed, why didn’t his father just provide him with bodyguards?When he sat in the driver’s seat, he angrily punched the steering wheel. He couldn’t accept why Elaine was pretending not to know about his father’s plans, especially when it was so obvious that she was trying to attract his cousins who were involved in the organization to spy on the ledger.Louis knew he shouldn’t feel anything for her, but when he saw Kaizer carrying

    When Louis arrived at the mansion where Mariella lived, Mr. Kernel immediately opened the gate for him. He still remembered his plate number.“Long time no see, Sir Louis,” Mr. Kernel greeted as he saluted at Louis who parked the car carefully inside the garage.Mr. Kernel had been a loyal bodyguard for the De Vera family, even when Louis and Mariella were still in a relationship, that was why he still remembered all the cars Louis had used."Yeah, it’s been a long time, Mr. Kernel," Louis replied as he got out of his car.The first thing Louis noticed when he entered the mansion was the interior design of the mansion which hadn’t changed at all. Maybe Mariella wasn’t able to interior design much lately due to her busy career.Louis glanced at the maids who were bowing to him at the side. “Where’s Mariella?” he asked. One of the maids, a petite woman named Elisse, looked up.“Ma’am Mariella is in her old room on the second floor. Would you like me to accompany you?” Elisse asked. She s

    ElaineI woke up to the noise I was hearing inside the room.I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was my father’s worried face. It quickly turned into a smile when he hugged me.“I’m glad you’re awake now, my child. I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you,” my father said. I could feel the sincerity in his voice, which made me smile."I'm sorry, Dad. I won’t make you worry like that again," I said to calm him down a little. I knew he wouldn’t be at peace until I told him that I was okay."You should be. The doctor said you fainted because of exhaustion. Don’t stress yourself too much about things," my father advised. I just nodded.When my father released me from the hug, Mommy Hacel came over. She couldn’t stop crying."I knew I shouldn’t have let you walk back to your room alone," Mommy Hacel said. I held her hand to stop her from crying."It’s not your fault, Mommy Hacel. I’m just stubborn," I responded, but she couldn’t stop crying, so Uncle Izaak approached her

    ElaineI didn’t know what to say while Kaizer was holding my hand. We were headed towards the car he parked near Noah’s gate.“Did that jerk do anything to you? Just tell me while we’re still here because I’ll really go after him even if he’s inside that mansion,” Kaizer said with concern while looking at my arms to make sure I didn’t have any wounds or bruises. When he was sure there was nothing, he sighed in relief.“Don’t worry, Noah is my friend, and he’s a good person,” I said, trying to smile at him.“U-Uh, about what you said earlier . . . ,” I added, looking outside the window so he wouldn’t see my blushing face.“What I said was true, Ely. I’ve liked you for a long time.” He gently held my chin to face me.When our eyes met, I looked away because it felt like my tongue was cut off from what I just learned.This was too much.I didn’t expect that he liked me, someone I once only dreamed about.“Why me? There are so many beautiful women out there,” I murmured.I was surprised wh

    ElaineToday was the day of the competition at the St. Montesseri Gym.I was currently eating breakfast that Blaire cooked. Louis, on the other hand, was busy reading the newspaper. Neither of us wanted to break the silence. Well, we were just pretending because our wedding was fast approaching, and we needed to convince everyone that we were happy with each other.My phone rang. Louis turned his gaze at me.Noah is calling…I didn’t know if I should answer the call because I knew he’d get angry the moment he heard that it was Noah who called, but maybe this was important, so I had no choice but to press accept.“Hello, Noah?” I asked as I ate the meatball on my plate. Blaire was an excellent cook; she could be a chef in a high-class restaurant if she wanted to.Tyron was really lucky to have her.“Elaine, I’m glad you answered. Are you busy?” Noah asked. I looked at the clock above the fridge. It was only 8:30 a.m., and the competition would start at 11:00 a.m.“Nothing important. Wh

    ElaineI stared at myself intently in a large round mirror inside the room. I could honestly say that the white mermaid gown I was wearing was beautifully made.“See? Doesn’t the gown you chose suit you perfectly?” Mrs. Rea muttered as she gently approached me to fix my hair.“You really did an amazing job on it,” I said, smiling a little. I was somewhat nervous about what would happen later.Would Louis like the gown I’m wearing?I shook my head at the thought. I was getting my hopes up just because his attitude toward me changed over the past few days.“Oh, dear, it’s because you’re beautiful that the gown suits you, and by the way, just let your hair fall to your right shoulder to emphasize your earrings,” Mrs. Rea added, which I nodded to.“Sit down, Mrs. Montemayor, I’ll fix you up,” Elena said, smiling like she was teasing me.I immediately gave her a glare. “Shut up, bestie!” I muttered and sat in front of the vanity mirror.Elena was the makeup artist I recommended because she

    ElaineThe days passed quickly, and we learned the news that Zap had escaped, so our security doubled as we searched for leads on who helped Zap escape and where my real father was.I let out a deep sigh before leaning my head against the chair. I thought the evilness of the Valencias was over, but we were back to square one."Everything will be fine, wife. As long as we are together, we can do anything. I’ll dispatch more people to look for leads," Louis said. He held my hand. I smiled."Thank you, hubby, for always being by my side. Even when I’m still looking for a part of my past identity, you're patient," I said and kissed him on the cheek.That evening, while I was working on paperwork that the wedding organizer gave me, Mace suddenly started crying.I quickly stood up and went to the nursery room, "Wah, Mama." I picked her up and saw Louis enter, holding Caliber in his arms.He asked, "What happened?""Hubby, can you grab the diapers? I think she’s crying because it's already fu

    LouisI’ve always thought of myself as the man who knew everything. Someone who was calculated, cold, and efficient—that’s who I am. Or rather, who I was before Elaine. She wasn’t just a woman I was ordered to marry; she was the reason I started questioning everything about my carefully constructed world.It all started when I saw her for the first time walking with her friends down the street. I was in the backseat of my car, flipping through meaningless reports about the family’s business, when I caught sight of her. She wasn’t extraordinary by any conventional standard. She had oversized glasses perched on her nose, braces, and hair that seemed to have a life of its own. Yet, there was something about her laugh. It was carefree. It was pure.“Who’s that woman?” I blurted out, startling Brennon.His eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, confused. “I—I don’t know, sir. Should I find out?”I stayed quiet. My heart clenched for reasons I didn’t understand. Why did I care? She wasn’t the

    ElaineThe breeze was cold today at the cemetery. The sun was high, but it didn’t hurt my skin because it was already late afternoon. It was quiet, but I still felt the heaviness in my heart as I walked the path to my father’s grave. Everything that happened was still fresh in my mind, and in the blink of an eye, all the evil deeds of the Valencias were over. But I knew that this wasn’t the end because there were still organizations that wanted to get their hands on the ledger, which I still couldn’t remember.In the end, Zap was imprisoned with multiple charges while Mariella was taken by Lucas to a psychiatrist because she almost lost her sanity with everything that happened.I read the inscription on the tombstone that said Raymond Natividad. I placed the bouquet of white roses down and lit a candle.He was such a good father to me, doing everything to protect me.“In a few months, I’ll be giving birth. I’ll make sure to bring them here so you can see them,” I said. My heart ached,

    ElaineWhen I opened my eyes, I felt the pain from the restraints tied to my hands. They were tight and cold, as if purposely tightened to cause severe pain. I trembled as I looked around. It seemed like we were in a storage room, and aside from me, there were two others—Kaizer and Dad, both tied to chairs.“Ely . . . .” Kai’s voice was weak but filled with concern. “Are you okay?”I nodded, even though my heart contradicted the words. It was racing in fear and anxiety over what might happen to us.“Do you know where we are?” I asked, my voice cracking.He shook his head. “All I know is that we’ve been kidnapped by the Valencia Organization. I don’t know how they found us, but I’ll make sure we escape.”I was scared for the baby in my womb. It had nothing to do with this.“Everything will be fine, Ely, trust me,” Kaizer said. It seemed like he had a plan in mind.“Ugh,” Dad groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.When he saw Kaizer and me, his brows furrowed immediately. “What are you tw

    ElaineLouis and I stayed in Florida for two more weeks. When Louis saw me that night, he always comforted me. We rarely went out again, and when we did, we always had a bodyguard with us. He didn’t ask me what happened, it seemed like he was waiting for me to tell him on my own.Today, Valerian will pick us up to take us back to the Philippines.“I want to stay here for a while,” I said while organizing the clothes and souvenirs we bought.“We will come back here again. This is one of our houses now, I just need to finish all my work,” Louis answered and pecked a kiss on my cheek.When we got in the car, Valerian smiled at me. “Looks like the newlyweds enjoyed their honeymoon that much. Aunt Hacel said to get both of you after three days, but someone wants to stay longer.”“Shut up, dickhead,” Louis said and I laughed. So, he was the one who planned for us to stay here for a month.“You really hurt my feelings with that greeting, man. A gift for your godchild?” Valerian asked. Louis t

    ElaineIt had been a week, and Louis and I had fallen into a routine. We were like a real married couple. Every morning, he cooked for me, and we spent our days exploring different places. Almost every night, something would happen between us. Honestly, it all felt like a dream, and I never wanted to wake up.“Wife, are you still mad at me? I didn’t mean to be rough last night,” Louis asked while trying to feed me some rice.“No. I’m not mad,” I answered briefly.“Then why are you so quiet, hmm?” he asked again. The truth was, I wished we could just stay here because I was afraid that once we went back home, things between us would change again.“I’m just thinking,” I said.His face turned serious. “What is it? You can tell me.”I forced a small smile. It was better to keep what I saw to myself for now. He might think I was involved with Zap.“I’m just thinking about where we should go today. There are so many beautiful places here. I’ll take a quick shower so we can leave,” I said, ki

    ElaineI woke up with the sunlight hitting my face. Louis was still not back. I slowly got up, my head still hurting a little, and my eyes were swollen. My fingers still had cuts from picking up the broken picture frame.I went to the kitchen and took the photo. I stared at it once more before crumpling it and putting it inside my pocket. Louis must not see this. I was sure that only Dad can answer all the questions I have about the true identity of this man.I opened the fridge, but it contained nothing except water. I sighed and took a shower so I could go out. I needed to find a grocery store.“Wife, where are you going?”My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I saw Louis. His hair was messy, and he had deep circles under his eyes. His clothes had traces of blood, and there was a scratch on his forehead.“Are you okay?” I asked, touching the wound on his forehead.I quickly realized what I was doing. Why should I care? I shouldn’t, but my heart couldn’t help but worry. This dam

    ElaineI was jolted awake when I heard a loud ringtone coming from Louis’ phone."Answer your call," I ordered.Louis declined the call and returned his gaze to me. "I'm sorry for waking you up."I rubbed my eyes to see his face more clearly since the room was dim. "It's okay, I was just startled. But why are you still awake?" I was about to get up to get a drink from the kitchen, but my eyes shut tightly when I felt a sharp pain in my lower body. The same thing happened to me after our first time. It felt like my body was being split in two.Noticing that I seemed to be in pain, Louis helped me up. "Are you okay, wife? Should I call a doctor?" he asked with concern, making me stare at him.Was he really concerned about me?I smiled in amusement, but Ashton’s words suddenly echoed in my mind.Louis was just using me. That was all. I shouldn’t fall for his actions anymore."I'm fine, it's just that my lower part is sore. Someone here was too rough," I hinted while pointing at my womanho

    ElaineAs soon as I returned inside the venue, Venice approached me.“Good thing you’re finally here, bestie. Everyone is waiting for you so that you and Louis can receive Aunt Hacel’s gift,” she said. I couldn’t help but gulp due to nervousness.What was the Montemayor family up to this time?I quickly forced a smile when I saw Venice still looking at me. She had no idea about what was going on between Louis and me. I couldn’t blame her because I was sure Volstrige kept it a secret from her.“Sorry, I was late again. I just went to the restroom for a bit,” I explained and was about to step forward when Venice grabbed my arm, stopping me.“Wait a moment. I was really waiting for you here because I have something to give you. Also, are you spacing out? That’s not the way to the balcony. Is that the effect of alcohol?” She burst into laughter.When I realized she was right, I couldn’t help but close my eyes in embarrassment.“I wasn’t going there, duh!” I replied and was about to walk aw
