Third Person

When Louis arrived at the mansion where Mariella lived, Mr. Kernel immediately opened the gate for him, as he still remembered his plate number.

"Long time no see, Sir Louis," Mr. Kernel greeted as he saluted 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. It seemed that most of his cars were associated with the old guard.

"Yeah, it’s been a long time, Mr. Kernel," Louis replied as he got out of his car.

As Louis entered the mansion, the first thing he noticed was the decor, which hadn’t changed at all. Perhaps Mariella hadn’t been decorating much lately due to her busy career.

Louis then 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, immediately looked up.

“It’s you, Sir Louis. Ma’am Mariella is in her old room on the second floor. Would you like me to accomp

    ElaineI woke up because of 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, which surprised me."I'm glad you're awake, 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 out too much about things," my father advised, and I just nodded.When my father stopped hugging me, 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 immediately 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 sto

    Elaine's Point of ViewI don’t know what to say while Kaizer is holding my hand. We were heading 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,” Kaizer said. He gently held my chin to face me.When our eyes met, I immediately looked away because it felt like my tongue was cut off from the information I just learned.This is too much.I didn’t expect that he liked me, someone I once only dreamed about.“Why me? There are so many beautiful wome

    ElaineI woke up early because today is the day of the competition at the St. Montesseri Gym.I was currently eating breakfast that Blaire cooked while Louis, who was with me, was busy reading the newspaper. Neither of us wanted to break the silence. Well, we were just pretending because our wedding is coming up, and we need to convince everyone that we are happy with each other.But my eyes widened when my phone suddenly rang, and Louis turned his gaze towards me.Noah is calling...I didn’t know if I should answer the call because I knew he’d get angry the moment he hears I’m talking to Noah, but maybe it’s important, so I had no choice but to press accept.“Hello, Noah?” I asked as I ate the meatball on my plate. Blaire really is an excellent cook; she could be a chef in a high-class restaurant if she wanted to.Tyron is 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 competi

    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, sis!” I muttered and sat in front of the vanity mirror.Elena, who was gay, was the makeup artist I recommended

    ElaineWhen the wedding ceremony was over, Louis and I received various congratulations."Congratulations to both of you," Sandra said as she handed us a wrapped gift."You really can't wait to give your gift before we get to the venue!" Lexy interrupted."I know my gift will be useful during their honeymoon. I’m so excited to give it to them, and besides, they might forget to bring it if I give it later," Sandra explained, which made me smile."Look at Elaine’s face, she seems surprised by what you said." Lexy even made a face at Sandra, then walked over to me."Congrats, Ely. Don’t mind Sandra," Lexy said and gave me a hug."I’m still here, hello?" Sandra said, frowning. She came over to us to join the hug."Both of you, stop it. Elaine can't breathe with what you're doing," Mommy Hacel scolded with her hands on her hips, making Sandra and Lexy release me."Auntie, we're just happy that Elaine is now part of the Montemayor family," Sandra said, giving me a bitter smile.Perhaps they

    Elaine"Are you okay, bestie?" Elena asked when I opened my eyes. Concern was written all over her face, so I gave her a fake smile."Yes. I think I just got too hot in this gown," I said.There was some truth to my response since it was indeed warm, and I had been sweating under my arms ever since we were at the church earlier."OMG, bestie! I got worried for you. If something bad happens, your husband will blame me!" Elena helped me stand up. "What’s that behind you? Why are you hiding it?" she added. I swallowed nervously.She was about to grab the gift when I suddenly thought of a reason."T-This is a gift from Sandra for our honeymoon, Louis and I," I replied, causing Elena to stop. A smile appeared on her lips because of what I said, but I had no choice but to stick to the story.I didn’t want anyone to know about Zap’s gift. I didn’t want them getting involved because of me."I knew it. You just couldn’t wait, huh? Even here, you’re bringing it. Maybe there’s something for cosp

    Elaine“Excuse me,” I said to the guests blocking my way.“Watch out, miss!” the waiter gasped when I accidentally bumped into him.“F*ck. Your clumsiness ruined my fiancée’s dress. Look what you’ve done!” shouted a man in a tuxedo. Just by his posture, I could tell he was one of the business partners of Louis’s company and had only attended our wedding to impress the other businessmen here.“I’m sorry about that, but I really need to go,” I replied. I was about to walk away when the woman with him suddenly grabbed my right arm.“How rude of you! Not only are you a woman who’s causing trouble, but you also have the audacity to turn your back on us. Don’t you know who we are, huh?” she shouted. She caught the attention of other guests nearby the veranda.“I have urgent things to do. I promise, I will come back to pay for your dress’s laundry,” I said while looking around because the man in the mask was slowly disappearing from my sight.“Do you know how much this dress cost, huh?

    ElaineI slowly opened my eyes. Immediately, a large chandelier that was sparkling came into view. When I tried to sit up, I suddenly grabbed my head because I felt a sharp pain."It looks like you’re awake," a masculine voice said, and I quickly turned to my left.I gasped when I saw Ashton, who was shirtless, sitting confidently with his legs crossed, arms folded."Why are you here? What are you doing here?" I asked, but he only smiled at me and slowly looked down at my chest."I think you should dress up before talking to me. How about that?" he asked, grinning, and stood up to go to the closet.What is he talking about?When I looked down, I realized I was only wearing underwear.What’s going on here?I immediately wrapped the white blanket around me and stood up to confront Ashton."Explain to me why I’m naked! For Pete’s sake, Ashton, what did you do to me, huh?!" I asked angrily as he dressed in his shirt."I only just saw your pink bra. What’s the big deal about it? Also, you’

    ElaineThe breeze was cold on the day I went to 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 was almost driven insane by 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 as m

    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 Father, 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."Ugh," Father groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.When he saw Kaizer and me, his brows furrowed immediately. "What are you two doin

    ElaineLouis and I stayed in Florida for two more weeks. When Louis saw me that night, he was always comforting 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.

    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, k

    ElaineI woke up because the sunlight was hitting my face; it seemed like Louis was still not back. I slowly got up because my head still hurt 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’m sure that only Father 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 eye bags. 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 wo

    ElaineI was startled awake when I suddenly heard a loud ringtone coming from Louis' cellphone."Answer your call," I ordered. I saw Louis decline the call and return his gaze to me."I'm sorry for waking you up," Louis said.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 asked him as I was about to get up to get a drink from the kitchen.Ouch.I immediately shut my eyes 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’s all. I shouldn’t fall for his actions anymore."I'm fine, it's just that my lower part is sore. Someon

    ElaineAs soon as I returned inside the venue, Venice immediately approached me.“Good thing you’re finally here, bestie. Everyone is waiting for you on the balcony so that you and Louis can receive Aunt Hacel’s gift,” she said. I couldn’t help but swallow due to nervousness.What is 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 would keep 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 suddenly grabbed my arm, stopping me.“Wait a moment, bestie. I was really waiting for you here because I have something to give you. Also, are you spaced 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 g

    ElaineWhen I woke up, I immediately looked around. It was still the same room where Ashton brought me. This meant that what happened earlier was real, not just a nightmare.I placed my hand on my forehead as I recalled what Ashton told me about my relationship with Louis. I had no idea there was such an agreement between us. I thought our marriage was the repayment for our family's debt to the Montemayors, but it seems I was wrong.What else should I have expected?This is the price for trusting too much. If I had known, I wouldn't have opened my heart to someone who only planned to use me against other organizations.I didn’t know what to do. I had no intention of moving from where I sat, my whole body feeling heavy from the information I had just learned.When I looked at the clock, it was already ten in the evening. I had been staring at the blue wall for minutes.Everything still hadn't sunk in, and how much harder would it be when I find out the truth about myself?I think Ashto
