Marie found out that there were other four Filipinos who were accepted for the Fullbright scholarship. However, these four had their different specialized subjects majors different from her. While she enrolled at the State University of New York with a Master of Education major in English Language, the four were placed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Middlebury College specializing in Science, Math, and Research. “Why on earth am I reading again a Danish magazine? Didn’t I give up the idea of knowing his whereabouts and updates already?" Marie thought as she grabbed a copy of the magazine under the table in one of the fast-food restaurants in New York while finishing her tea. Back to the prince's place, his frowned face was obviously displayed in the mirror of his room as he sat facing it. “How are you?” The prince read his message again before hitting the button on the International Artists Group Page. “For two days that she didn’t reply to my former message

“Wow!” I got $600 for 5 days in just 2 hours a day!” My family will be delighted about this. I’ll call mother now.” Marie thought as she looked at her Banco De Oro account online. Her students’ parents were the ones who paid her through online banking. “Mar, how are you?" It is Wednesday morning in our country. We missed you here. As she answered, she sounded in a hurry. Marie drank her lemon juice and replied, “Now is Tuesday, 7:00 in the evening here, mother. Our country is 13 hours ahead of New York.” “I see. “ “Mother, I’ll send money tomorrow to your BDO account. I’ll do the bank transfer online tonight and tomorrow, you will be able to withdraw the money.” From the very first time in several weeks, she called her mother. Marie was able to hear her father as well. Lan got the phone to Le and in a loud voice, “Mar, why did you send money here? We were supposed to send you because you were still in school.” “It’s alright, father. I did a part-time job here when the class is o

Marie still can’t believe what had happened to her Aunt Sheila in Denmark. She thought that Prince Mharl might help her to investigate it but the other side of her brain told her that she would find a way by herself. “Good evening. Ms. Marie Sieran speaking” Marie answered the phone while preparing to use the bathroom after her two hours of the tutorial. “Hello Ma’am. Good evening. This is Ms. Rice of Ivy League Stationers and we would like to inform you that your Poetry Book is now ready to be printed. Should you see the draft for the last time before we start printing them?” The secretary of a company called her. “Sure, Ma’am. Right after my third subject tomorrow, I’ll be there. That is before lunch.” She added as she returned to the living room to get her paper bag. “Okay, see you then. Thanks, Ma’am. “ “Bye, too.” Marie noticed that the paper bag she opened had a magazine of the royal family around the world. There was a notice of Free gIve aways from the book store of the Un
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 14 - Bestfriend and Friends
“What’s going on, son? Who is this girl in New York that people are talking about?" the king asked seriously. “She is just a friend Dad.” The prince assured the king. He was in his last year of Master of Law and there was so much to work on. “Dad, I am sorry I can’t stay longer, there is so much to do. The schedules for my finals are too close so, better to prepare in a bit.” “Okay, just call if you need anything. I’ll be in touch with you and your mom. Never mind the news. Soon everything will be fine.” Back in New York, a few days after Joe got married, Marie could still recall what had happened before him. It was Joe as well who shared his story and in return, Marie shared as well. Later, Joe narrated everything, so Marie and they connected their stories. Joe started to tell first in detail. For a moment Joe stood still from his office window overlooking the town. He wanted to shout and to do something just to let his anger out of his heart but he couldn't. “Oh, God, this is

“Mar, we missed you here at Ramon Magsaysay National High School. I have good news to tell. I was promoted last month.” Irene excitedly shared it with Marie who called her. “Oh! I am happy for you. When will be your wedding?” “Who said that? Irene defensively responded that she sounded surprised and softly laughed at the news. “How about you? We recently saw your pictures in a magazine in the UK, as well as in some newspapers. The majority of people recognized your face, but how about Joe?" Irene asked seriously on the phone. I did some LQ several times and that made him feel like I wasn't loving him but treating him only as my best friend. This made him tell me that I could find the love of my life here. “How about the prince?” “He is too busy with his graduate school at Harvard. Several of his royal highnesses' girls dated him recently. He had even forgotten me. He has the standard to follow. Not even me can meet that.” “I’ve seen how talented he is. His paintings are everywhe
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 16 - The Arrival
Marie felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as she sat quietly in Icelander. An Indian movie was played loudly while the flight was carrying on. Her $578 fare was provided by the school. Due to her credentials and endorsement by her professor, her papers were approved right away. “This is it! I don’t know about tomorrow. I put everything in Your hands, Dear God. Thy will be done, she silently prayed while watching the movie once in a while. A piece of breaking news was flashed. According to reports, Prince Mharl of Denmark was engaged to one of the royal families of Spain. An anchorwoman reported that the palace arranged a secret meeting with the royal highnesses of Spain. "I cannot ignore him when I am here to work for his country. Despite his pretense of having something for me, he just played my feelings. What am I doing? Who am I anyway? This is enough. I can’t be like this.” Marie angrily uttered to herself in thought. Marie reviewed her schedule. Since she had already left
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 17 - The Interview
Marie called her parents early in the morning and they were happy about her news. But they warned her that one day the palace would reveal her medical history together with the lost artifact. It was the other news she heard before that kept coming. She felt it was like a warning for her to be prepared. “Mother, how are the kids? I didn’t see any of them. What happened to the living room?” Lan answered in a sleepy voice and as he yawned a bit, “We decided to put some of the potted plants here to make it more livable. And see how plants help to create the ambiance of a farm.” "Mar, do you remember when we returned home? When your aunt Shiela died, so did your grandmother and grandfather." Le asked as she made coffee on the table. The phone was put somewhere in between the table’s belongings so she could see Lan and her. “Yes, mother! You told us to pay for the house and lot in the Belair subdivision. And we have three months left to finish the payment.” Marie replied with a smile as
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 18 - New Journey
After Marie met with Dr. Hudrisch and Sharyn, her first week in Denmark was packed with exams, interviews, and demonstrations of teaching. Her experiences at Ramon Magsaysay High School suddenly came back to her. She continued praying harder as she prepared for her turn, asking God's guidance, "I need to visit the nearby church here later." Dear God, I don't know what may happen but I give You all my trust." Since Sharyn knew she was a bit uneasy about what might happen, she often told her, "Just do your part." Since these steps were just formalities, Sharyn urged her many times. Marie was thankful for Sharyn’s attitude toward her. She was kind and thoughtful. As soon as she had the time, she sent her messages or called to remind her about school papers. On the last day of her first week, after Marie demonstrated her teaching, Sharyn accompanied her to the Denmark Higher Education Office. She was interviewed and her papers were forwarded to the school. She was asked to have a pict

The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 59 - The Twins
“I don’t know. They simply stated, "I resemble you." Marilyn said this timidly as she approached Marie on Eleven Madison Avenue near the Craft restaurant near 7th Avenue.Marie dialed her mother’s Messenger account and agreed that the family would have a video call between the two of them.“Marie is right. The two of you are twins!” For some, Le's high pitch was off-putting, but for those who knew her, it was her natural voice.Lan nodded. “How come? Of course, we knew that Marie was our eldest and only child that day.”“Maybe it is just a coincidence,” Jek said as he ate a sweet potato in the background.Von and Yen agreed, too. But their distant relative asked both Len and Lan what the truth was.Len was confident in giving the details, but suddenly Marie called.“You said that Smith is her family name?” Lan asked.Instead of picking up her cellphone, Marie opened her laptop and turned to her father instead of asking her mother.“I remember the foreigner that I met that day.

“Mother, let me hear the whole truth, please!” Marie sounded emotional as she stood facing the old Sophia, who was looking at her. It seemed that the white horse could understand how heavy her heart was. She hurried back to the castle.Seeing Le in a video call, Marie's eyes welled up with tears as she scanned the pictures. Marie was wearing her headset and had a sad expression on her face as she asked them the truth.“It’s a long story to tell, Mar. All I knew was that you were our eldest. When we left you, you had been in the hospital for five days. I remember the day when we had to bring you home. In fact, I told your father and aunt that your eyes and nose were different from the ones I had after giving birth to you. Of course, we knew that you had a harelip.”Marie paused. She wiped her nose with her white handkerchief and faced the window. Her laptop, which she used, was left on her study table. The laptop’s camera traced where she was."I'll send an email with pictures and the w
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 57 - At The Museum
Marie’s face turned red, but as she absorbed everything, it slowly turned white. With her left hand holding the envelope, her right hand found the bottled water inside her black Louis Vuitton bag and drank. She knew that her allergy might hurt her again. Therefore, to lessen the pain as it was likely to come back, she promised herself to drink water as the doctor advised.Out of the corner of her eyes, Marie saw the two royal guards coming their way. The envelope was placed in her bag, using a magazine as a cover in case CCTV could track it. It was then that she was grateful that the old woman understood what she wanted to convey when she blinked her eyebrows and showed blankness in her eyes. She looked behind her.“See you at the back of the next building on the big oak tree facing the lake.”As she walked, the woman nodded, and before the two guards arrived from each side, they had already parted ways.“Hej, Ma’am Marie Sieran. "We are wondering if there is anything we can help you w

Apart from what he remembered, the doctors discussed that he was suffering from anterograde amnesia, in which he had lost his ability to form memories after the accident. This was because of the traumatic head injury he experienced.Despite his refusal, she continued to see him. One day, while he was still sleeping, she opened her email and saw an article from the royal website.“Princess Sharl’s identity revealed!” Marie could not form the word in her mind as she knew that already. However, she wondered who her closest associates were. Marie placed her right hand in the prince’s hands and began to sing the songs she had composed after he showed that he had forgotten her.You Are My VioletsOn the bank of the river, I sit.Watching swans talk and swim happily,Robins sing merrily while the sun smiles.As the curtains open, there is a round of applause.I was about to open them when I noticed you.You stand confidently holding a floweredViolets, which are my dear heart's love,They kne
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 55 - The Craving
“I missed you!” Marie heard the loudest voice of the prince, which she had never heard before. It seemed that everything was her first time in that land, based on what she could see, which was full of violets. This was more difficult for her because she felt like a princess sitting in the middle of the meadow, where her prince was smiling but his hands were missing.She looked around at all the violets and froze for a moment, realizing that everything was real and not just an image. She turned her gaze to the north, and she saw a smile as bright as a sunflower flower; the prince was now walking, holding a bouquet of violets in his hands.“I love you.” He said so and kissed her on the cheek this time.She held the flowers and smelled them. When she bowed her head to look at the path, to step, the prince was slightly kneeling with his right leg bent, holding the purple box with an olive-green peridot ring on it.“Will you marry me?” The prince asked, while Marie was left speechless and k
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 54 - At The Hospital
The long hours of waiting in the same hospital where the prince stayed were over after two hours for Marie. This was her third day in the hospital. Aside from checking the prince, she let her blood, stools, saliva, eyes, back, and other parts of the body be checked in the previous days. The highnesses asked their five family doctors to have a general checkup with Marie after what had happened to her in the hills. Marie and her highness's secretary followed one of the doctors to his office in the royal hospital.“Ms. Marie Sieran, please come to my office. Will you let them join you?” As he looked around the waiting room, the doctor said.The highness's secretary is there, as are Sharyn and the prince’s secretary.She surveyed their numbers and nodded. “Yes!” Marie knew she needed support for whatever she may learn later, and while following the doctor, she prayed.They entered the doctor’s office, and after a few moments, the result was shown."Let's get this started in your back."

The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 53 - A Journey with Sophia
Marie couldn't remember how many emails she had sent because the woman she met on the plane wasn't responding to her F******k account. This was one of her weaknesses. When something disturbed her, she needed things to happen fast. Looking at the window facing the back part of the castle, where hills can be seen, she remembered her stay in the hospital. She could not allow herself to be in that place again. Within seconds, she walked to the refrigerator and grabbed her vitamins. “How’s the prince?” The queen asked as they happened to walk together into the dining room. Marie smiled and kissed her. “I am afraid he is still not responding.” “It’s okay. Things will not improve with time, but I am confident that your presence will bring him back to life." The queen sat as the maid prepared her chair. Marie as well, on her left side, and a few moments later, the king entered, and they took their breakfast. “Why not take Sophia for a ride this early morning before going there?” The king’
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 52- The Return
When Marie was awakened after several hours of fainting, her parents were there watching her. Le and Lan were told that Marie would be awakened at any moment, so they chose to be there as soon as she opened her eyes. “Mother, father. What happened?” “Can’t you remember what happened before you fainted?” Le worriedly asked as she gestured for Lan to call the doctors. Marie blinked and rolled her eyes as she surveyed the place where she was at the moment. “I remember now.” As she became aware of the dextrose on her hand and the oxygen on her nose, she said softly. A few moments later, three doctors entered, and the two went outside. One of the doctors, the group's leader, summoned the two to his office, which was a few steps away from the nursing station next to the emergency room where Marie was staying. “Your daughter has asthma. Aside from that, her allergy was triggered when she was exposed to the dust for a longer period of time. She is exhausted and tired at the same time, an
