Elaine’s Point of View

Tears were still relentlessly falling from my eyes. I tried to stand up to turn off the shower because I felt like a wet chicken. The water had soaked my clothes completely since earlier.

Honestly, what Louis said was the most painful thing I have ever heard in my entire life. I had gotten used to being called ugly in my old school because I had so many pimples and because of the nerdy clothes I wore.

I started changing clothes. If I kept sulking, my father would definitely wonder why I was taking so long to come down, and they might even notice my puffy eyes from crying. Maybe I was the only one who had feelings for Louis. If I had known that he only did all those surprises for his inheritance, I should have stopped myself from falling for him. What woman wouldn't fall for someone who made that much effort?

My thoughts were interrupted when someone suddenly knocked on the door. “Elaine, dear,” Mommy Hacel called out. I quickly rushed to get dressed and tried to

    Elaine’s Point of ViewAfter the call ended, I quickly went to the closet room because I remembered what Mommy Hacel had said about the clothes she was sure I would need.I opened the door, and I was greeted by cabinets connected around the entire room. Right next to this room was the one Louis and I used to share, but now it was only his.I didn’t know what to choose first, but I opened the closet closest to me.I started looking for something to wear. I didn’t want to embarrass myself at the party, especially since Louis would be there and possibly have another woman as his partner. It would also be awkward for Kaizer if I didn’t at least make an effort to look good.I was glad Mommy Hacel thought to put together a closet room with various types of clothes. She said it was for occasions like this so I wouldn’t have to buy clothes every time there’s an event. She also mentioned that the Montemayor family values their reputation, so they always wear designer brands. They wanted to be t

    Elaine’s Point of ViewI don't know, but suddenly, silence filled the car. I was about to ask Kaizer what the problem was, but I was interrupted when the driver spoke, "We're almost there."I felt a mix of emotions because, in just a few minutes, I would see Louis.What would his reaction be when he sees Kaizer and me as partners at the party? Would he feel even a little bit jealous? But with how things were now, it seemed unlikely."K-Kai, are you okay? You've been quiet for a while," I stammered. Finally, I found a chance to speak. He had been facing away from me, and I was worried that I might have said something that upset him."Yeah, I'm fine. Don’t mind me," he replied coldly, which shocked me. I had been gathering the courage to speak, and that was all I got in return.In frustration, I immediately turned away from him. "Okay," I said, annoyed. He probably thought that only he could be difficult. If he could act like that, well, I could too."Ely?" he murmured. I felt his gaze

    Elaine’s Point of ViewI don’t know, but I tried to stand up and go inside because I’m sure Kaizer had been waiting for me. My feet hurt so much that I ended up sitting in front of the plants and crying my eyes out.What did I do wrong for Louis to treat me this way?What I can’t fully accept is how he said such hurtful words to me, as if we never shared anything between us. But why is that? I can't even feel angry at him.I was startled when I heard a familiar voice from behind, clearly furious at the person on the phone, as their voice was shaking with anger.“As I told you, Dad. I don’t want to marry Lea, she’s definitely not my type,” Tyron said. Until now, he still hadn’t noticed that we were just turned away from each other, and there was a small square space in between with plants.“You’ll learn to love her soon,” came the reply from the phone.Tyron was starting to get frustrated, and I could see him clenching his fist.“I have someone I like. Can you at least understand that?

    Elaine’s Point of ViewI woke up when I felt something cold touch my skin, a damp cloth. I immediately opened my eyes to see who was with me.The last thing I remember was being in Kaizer's arms while we were leaving the venue at Desire Island. If my guess is correct, I am here in his mansion. I also remembered what I said to Louis. I’m sure he got upset with what I said, but what could I do? I was too carried away by what he did to me, which is why I said that.When I opened my eyes, I saw Kaizer gently wiping my cheek with the cloth. He was looking at me seriously, but when he noticed that I opened my eyes, a smile appeared on his face."I'm glad you're awake, Ely," Kaizer said. I didn’t know how to respond because it felt like my tongue was tied in embarrassment. I’ve been giving him so much trouble. I noticed his black eye from when Louis punched him.I couldn’t help but feel shy around him. My eyes widened when he suddenly kissed my forehead.“I thought something had happened to

    Third Person’s Point of View“Louis, baby. Leave that woman alone,” Penelope said. She grabbed Louis by the arm, but she was shocked when he suddenly shoved her forcefully, causing her to fall to the floor.“How dare you!” she shouted at him. He simply gave her a scornful look before throwing money at her.“Get out of my sight, I don’t like whores,” Louis replied. Penelope’s eyes widened in anger. Before standing up to face him, she picked up the money he had thrown at her.“Look at how thick-skinned you are to say that to me!” Penelope screamed.She was about to slap Louis when he blocked her with his right hand. “Do you really think a whore like you can lay your hand on my face?” Louis asked with a grin. He probably thought the young man wouldn’t notice that she had spiked his drink with sleeping pills to rob him.When Louis went to the bar feeling restless, Penelope immediately learned about the young man’s situation. She plans to seduce him so she can go to his mansion, where Loui

    ElaineSeveral days had passed since I tried to run away from Louis' mansion with Blaire's help, but all of that was ruined when we were caught.**“And where do you think you’re going?” asked a familiar male voice.I immediately closed my eyes tightly. I felt Blaire squeeze my hand; all I could do was swallow nervously.“I said, where are you two going? Care to explain?” he repeated. I had no choice but to turn around to see who was speaking.Blaire and I would definitely be in trouble if this was Louis.When I turned around, my jaw almost dropped when I saw Tyron, frowning. His face showed confusion as he wondered why Blaire and I were leaving.“Tyron?” I asked in surprise.His expression immediately changed when he saw Blaire staring at him.“Hello, love,” Tyron said.He was so vulnerable when it came to Blaire. Just a moment ago, his face was all furrowed, but now he was smiling so widely it looked like his lips were about to come off.“Okay, I’m still here,” I teased, waving my h

    ElaineMy eyes widened in surprise because he was the one who would be my partner in the competition. I was expecting someone totally nerdy, just like me, but it looks like the rumors were true—he definitely has a strong presence. He even looks really hot, even in a uniform."We can just be partners, baby," Elena teased, grabbing Noah's hand that he offered to me.“Are you stupid? What will you answer in the competition? If you fight, our campus is already lost,” Venice teased, which made Elena raise an eyebrow.“Excuse me, I’m always winning in gay pageants. You can even ask me tough questions, like Catriona-level!” Elena said while pretending to wave at the audience.I saw Noah frown when Elena suddenly approached him and gently squeezed his arm.“I think Noah’s got it going on!” Elena said. You could see the annoyance on Noah's face from what Elena was doing.“Can you f*cking get lost? Your existence is making me mad,” Noah snapped, his jaw clenched in anger.“Oh, I like that, rawr

    Third PersonIt 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 the young man 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 if just for tonight."Hello, Ela, you called?" Venice asked, her face showing concern for Elaine, as it was rare for her to call."I-I’m sorry for calling at this hour," Elaine stammered, still sobbing.Venice immediately sensed that something was wrong on the other line and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her friend's situation.“It’s okay, it’s not

    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 evil 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 full.

    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 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
