He also makes one of his wife's wish came true by letting her meet some K-pop idols and superstar including the boyband BTS, the superstar award winning actor Lee Min Ho and so on. He just don't have an idea how much money he spent, but for him money is worthless if it doesn't satisfy you. Money is meant to be use and so he spent it in a way that is beneficial to him and to the people around him.
They started traveling the world, from one country to another which highlights Calista's modeling career to the peak that she never imagine she could reach. More and more brands, sponsors, owners of huge businesses and investors knows about Hadrian and Calista which is a good thing for both of them and for the image that they should both have.
After traveling almost the whole country in Asia they finally decided to go back to the UAE to settle and starts their life as a husband and wife. Calista thinks that she's ready for a family and been done with a prosperous living. Calista's business and clothing companies that she had in America and in Europe are also doing well with the help of her secretary, Allison. As of the moment she had no plan to go back to America or Europe and just plainly wanted to continue her career in the UAE with her family and husband.
Hadrian sell the mansion he had when he's still single and bought a new one costing more than 17 billion dollar which lead him to be the only guy in the UAE to own a billion dollar worth of mansion without calculating every single things inside it.
Years had passed and time flies so fast. After more than 5 years living as a husband and wife they finally had their first baby, Skye Decimus Aurellian Forbes. A cute little toddler that's adored and loved by millions of people all over the world. He islike the baby version of his mom. A superstar child and heir of all his parent's wealth. He's been also introduce and widely known as one of the riches kid in the world.
Calista even teaches his son how to do modeling in an early age. Skye has his own car, chopper, and even a clothing brand named after his name.The American elite started to get their eyes on this rising child superstar and expecting Skye to follow his mom's legacy in the modeling industry with a touch of intelligence and smartness from his dad in terms of business world.
5 years later...
“Good morning mom!” I heard my sweet charming prince greeted me as he headed down from the 2nd floor of our mansion.
I am currently cooking our breakfast and preparing the table. Now you might’ve ask, why do the international and expensive model and a wife of a multi-billionaire cooks? Well, it’s Friday. My husband used to give our 10 maids, 3 chief cook, 15 guards, 3 drivers and 6 gardeners a 24 hours free time to spend. They can go out, hangout, meet their friends or go to the place they wanted to visit without worrying about us. Hadrian used to apply that attitude as an American-Emeratis guy. And beside this is the first time I had cooked again for my family since we mostly likes to order foods and have it delivered to us in just a couple of minutes.
“How’s your baba?” I inquired as he pull out his chair and of course my chair and for his dad. He had been this sweet almost every single seconds in his life, like don’t what we did in the past life to deserve such a charming and respectful handsome cutie boy.
“Baba’s sleeping” He replied in a sweet tone then reach for a spoon and plate.
I flip my sight to the wall clock near the television and saw it’s pass 7:00 in the morning so I need to wake Hadyy to get ready as we had an important meeting with the CEO of Treasured Jewel Company for our brand collaboration this coming November.
“Here’s your milk sweetie guy” He smiled back at me and seems to be blushing a bit to hear me complemented him.
“Thank you Ummi” He replied and take a first sip of his warm milk.
“Good morning my gorgeous lazy billionaire” I whispered near his ear and he surprised me as he rounded his arms across my body and pulled me closer to him. “Oh! naughty billionaire!”
He smiled a little and slowly opened her eyes. “Noisy expensive model” He uttered and I just smiled to him. We’re like this almost everyday, we like to call each other with different names and a twisted funny names.
“The food is ready. Quick! quick! get up and take a shower then head down, remember that we had an appointment today Mr. Lazy turtle” I moved up but he pulled me down again.
“I need a cuddle” He murmured. I just roll out my eyes with disbelief. Why do he’s becoming lazy like this? He’s never been like this before.
“Okay 5 minutes” I retorted and hugged him tightly. He moved more closer to me and kiss my cheeks.
“15 minutes” Is all he uttered.
“15 minutes?” I repeated and he just nodded as a sign of response. I know that this is again going to be a freaking bad day as we gotta need to rush again for time. Oh no.
“Ahhhh!” We swiftly moved out from bed and headed down as we heard our prince screamed loudly like he had never did before.
I’d almost fall down from the stairs as I see my innocent son wiping a blood on his forehead. And we saw the glass window near him was broke already.
“What happened baby?” I swiftly ran towards him and hug him tightly while my hands are busy grabbing some tissue and opening some cabinets to look for the first aid kit.
“Ahh!” My baby Skye screamed again as he heard another stoning things which broke the large mirror in the living room.
“Just stay right here sweetie. Please take cover okay?” Hadrian ran to the living room to see what’s going on there. It’s only the three of us inside this mansion as of this moment so we can’t call for help.
I’d finally found the first aid kit and grab the tissue to wipe my son’s blood on his forehead.
"Ummi, what's going on?" He inquired in an almost whispered tone. I pity my poor innocent son for experiencing this in his early age. I don't know what's going around and who are these people behind these heinous trespassing things.
I can’t remember having an issue or having someone mad at us, but why this is happening? I suddenly heard a loud exclaimed. I covered Skye’s ear and pulled his head gently to my chest.
“Just relax sweetie, baba’s only playing with our guards” I lied in order to calm my shaking son. Then suddenly I heard again a loud screamed and followed by a single fire of bullet. My body started to shake not knowing what’s going on but I need go check out and help my husband. They had gun, and I’m pretty sure that they’re only after our wealth.
I looked at my son’s eyes and saw him crying silently that I didn’t even notice. It hurts my feeling as his mom for failing to protect my baby.
“Please my sweetie boy, do follow what ummi’s going to say okay?” I whispered while holding his cheeks side by side. He slowly nodded and tears continued to flow from his innocent eyes.
“Go upstairs and locked your room, don’t open your room not unless it’s me or your dad calling you okay?” He nodded for the second time and we slowly stand and he sneaked upstairs while I’m watching him get inside then finally saw him closed his door.
“Bang!” Another shot of gun coming from the living room and I’d rushed to help my husband with a softball bat on my right hand.
I saw a guy pointing his gun at my husband and without hesitation I straught him at his back resulting for him to lost conscious.
“What are you doing here honey?” He inquired. I grab his right arm to help him stand when I saw that he got hit on his left ankle.
“How many of them are here? And who are they?” I asked in a very fast way of talking then grab a gun and hand it him.
“Baba!” We heard again a loud screamed of Luca coming from his room. We looked at each other and ran swiftly upstairs.
“Stay away from us!” I shouted to a two guy trying to destroy the door knob of my son. The other guy came to attack me while the other one goes to Hadrian.
“Ahh!’ I screamed to pain as this strange guy push me hardly to our round glass table. My body were completely full of scratches an blood. I can even feel a piece of glass inside my stomach, but I stand again and grab him away as they’re both punching my husband.
“You don’t really know when to hide you useless woman!” His voice seems to be familiar to me. I started to look at his eyes as it is the only part of his face that’s not covered with his black head mask. I can’t go wrong he’s really familiar.
“Kill her dude! I think she recognized you already.” Said by the other guy who’s continuously fighting with my husband. The familiar gradually pointed his gun at me and I am like a statue just standing next to him not knowing what to do as my head is stuck trying to remember his voice.
“Honey!”
“Bang!”
My world ended as I saw my husband prone on the floor and his blood started to flow from his head ‘till it reaches the bare feet of mine. A single drop of tear fall from my eyes mixing with his blood. My happiness, my world, and the half part of me, they take him away for granted and killed him without any further reason.
I am standing quietly with my teary eyes looking at the bloody body of my husband when I heard a sound of the door opening slowly. My brain started to work again and my heart started to beats more faster as I saw them turned their head to my son. Not my prince!
I ran to their position and forcefully tried to snatched the gun from the familiar guy. He’s strong that I failed to take away the gun.
“Run! run as further as you can sweetie!” I shouted to my son and he followed it then head down swiftly. The other guy tried to follow him but I was able to snatched the gun and shot him on his right thigh resulting for him to fall down from the stairs.
“Ah!” A loud punch almost ruined my face and broke my teeth came from the familiar guy. My sight started to get dizzy and unclear but I’m still fighting and grab the familiar guy’s left leg to stop him from moving away. I need to save my son.
As I continued to hold his thigh and he continued to pull up his pants a dragon tattoo on his left ankle appeared, I widen my eyes to really look at it to remember when a strong kicked landed right on my face making me totally lost conscious and everything turned black.

I slowly open my eyes as I hear the crowds, a noise that's not familiar to my ears. I'm still feeling dizzy and still feel the pain across my whole body. I can still smell the blood stink all over my face. The wound and some scratches I get still aawfully ache. I roamed my eyes to see what's going on and saw that I'm lying on the hospital bed with both my hands handcuffed to the steel of the bed. "What are they doing? Why am I here?" I mumbled. "Is anybody there?" I violently screamed inside this private room where I am stuck alone. I tried to move my body with full force but my energy betrayed me as I end up losing. I look over the wide open glass window where I see the reflection of the sun and everything flashes back to me. "Hadrian" I whispered through my wounded wry lips. "Why did you left me?" Tears started to fall down my cheeks which almost wet the whole side of the pillow. "Where's Skye?" I frightfully murm
1 day after the day she was took to that headquarters and Calista is still inside that glass well protected room. She's getting used to it day after another. The soft and comfy bed that she's used to was replaced by the hard steel bed, the thousand square meter mansion was also replaced by that tiny plain gray room. The air-conditioned room she had was replaced by that hot stinky room. Everything changed in just a single snap. The world she had, the popularity, the wealth and family cannot do anything but see her suffered, and she has no other option but to fight that battle alone. "Please stand. Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case now before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" Said by the clerk. "I do" Calista replied in a low toned voice. She's ask to testify in the trial against her since no one is involve and is found to have seen the
"We the jury, in the case of The country of the United Arab Emirates versus Calista find the defendant guilty of the charge of crime of Mr. Hadrian Calypso Forbes and Skye Decimus Forbes. Miss Calista, you are hereby sentenced to 10 years in jail, 2 billion dollar fine or more if the victim would ask for more and you are forbidden to touch or claim any of the wealth of your late husband." Said by the clerk. The jury decided to lower her case from lifetime imprisonment to only a 10 years imprisonment as the evidence are not that powerful enough to prove her as suspect meanwhile, the jury still cannot announced her as innocent since there's also some evidence that pulls down saying that she's involve."Tok! Tok!""The jury is thanked and excused. Court is adjourned." Said by the judge.The two policeman marched towards Calista's standpoint with her mom and dad crying over hugging her tightly.She was slowly pulled away and had her hand position
The muscled woman thunderously throw away the tray and punch the short-haired lady, luckily the short-haired woman was fast and was able to saved her face before the punch landed to her direction. She do a two flip back then the muscled woman aggressively attack her and so the fight started. It feels like the end of the world for me as a first timer to see a situation like that with my bare eyes. I'm stoned at my chair didn't know what to do. I'm starting to panic, this is freaking me out. The two other woman marched to my direction with fork both in their hands. "Are they really planning to kill anyone?" I stated inside my head then I felt a cold hand hold my arm and pull me away. I look over the owner of that cold hand and saw the nerd lady also terrified covering her ears. I guess she's also afraid or just like me this is also her first time seeing scenario like this. I can see detainees all over the room pushi
"Do you like this?" Olivia handed me one of her books with a pen. I smiled back at her and grabbed the book. We're sitting on her bed leaning our back against the wall. It's a bit dark here and only a slight reflection of light coming from the outside door serves as our light. "Who is her name?" I mumbled asking her about the short-haired woman's name since she didn't tells me about her name earlier in the field. "Why do you want to know my name?" I was surprised of her response, I thought that she didn't hear it cause I say it in a very low sound that even my ears cannot almost hear. I clears my throat and act naturally as if I wasn't afraid of her. Yes, I'm still wasn't that comfortable with her despite what she did earlier. "Ah, I just want to know you better and if it's okay maybe become one of your friend" My tongue keeps holding me back from talking but good enough that I was able to say what I wanted to say in a constructive f
"Aww" Is all my mouth uttered as Agatha hit my face with her manly fist that almost destroyed my molar. My lips slightly ache and my face feels like bursting into pieces. I slowly hold on to my face and lips and saw a drop of blood on my fingers. That's how strong Agatha is, she can break everyone's face in a gentle way like that."Do you like it?" She rebuke with her hand holding on to my face."Yes I do, and I hope you would also like my surprise" She swiftly let go of me to and wipe her face after I spit on it. This time, I'm the one smiling at her face seeing her reaction and the way she cleaned her face."Hold her" She commanded, and the two other woman grab my arms and hold it to my back. It hurts, I feel like my bones gonna break in any second. "You want a real game?" She hardly pulled up my hair that I think its gonna separate from my head. I slightly groaned to pain but I can't move and I had nothing with me to help me. How I wis
"Not this lady Evanthe. You will regret choosing to be my enemy." "Are you trying to scare me? Cause sorry to break it to you, I am not, and will never be scared with a woman like you!" She pointed on mom's face which is a thing that mom really hated. Mom grab a glass of water from the other table and without hesitation threw it to her face. Evanthe screamed to surprise as she saw her red dress and bag getting wet. "Do you know how expensive my dress and this bag?" "No, cause in the first place I'm not interested to buy that ugly red bag of yours, you're too archaic same goes with your style granny" Mom is really vexatious. She knows how to make someone more irritated. "Go out of this place and never come back old woman!" Mom screamed at her face leaving Evanthe and her daughter speechless then comes the 4 cops leading them outside. "Next time, be mindful of yourself. Look at you, full of scars, scratches all over your body,

She worked harder as a journalist under the company owned by Calista and ran by Allison in France. She
“Hey!” I uttered as we reached our destination which I think is his first time to be here. “Star?” I called him by his name but he’s not responding which made me think that he’s fall asleep.I tried to stay in that position and instead pull my phone out of my leather jacket’s pocket and opened my camera to see what he is doing at the back. I laughed a bit after seeing him asleep with his mouth open. Too fortunate that he doesn’t fall down cause until now I can still feel the pressure that his arms are holding on to my torso. I found myself smiling for no reason. Why would I smile by the way? There’s nothing funny going around so I guess I’m just out of my mind and smiling for no reason. I also don’t want to admit to myself that I’m a gay or bisexual or whatever the may call it cause I ain’t. Cause I found pretty girl more attractive but Star is completely different, he is freaking d*mn f*ckably attractive that makes me wanna see those face even when he is asleep. Maybe he i
Skye’s PovBeen holding this emotion and love for more than a year, but the more I spend time with him, the more stick with him and he more we spend days, weeks and month together, the more I found myself falling for him. But I don’t have enough strength to face it or even share it to someone even to my parents. But I feel like exploding and it hurts me even more for keeping myself silent. Would it be fine if I take risk? Will they still love me if I say it? And...will I still be their Prince if I also likes a Prince? or I think already falling for him.I’m on my bed just rolling side to side like a fat panda just waiting for the sun to rise of maybe for the clock to pass by. I always found myself having a nightmare seeing my self hated by my parents after going out as the real. Although there is a saying that says that what we dreamed is a total antonyms of what will happen but I still wasn’t sure if I really going to go out or forever stay as what they want and expected m
“Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday dear Skye!” The celebration had started with a boom!It’s quite big and a bit expensive since it’s our son’s 21st birthday or his debut. The celebration is held on the beach where people can enjoy the nature and party at the same time. There’s fireworks, loud band, beers, lightings, bonfire and of course the guest who are really enjoying the night I supposed. Even I are quite speechless with the numbers of guest we have had tonight, I actually think that since we are foreign and new to this country, the celebration will be just between my family and my friends but to my surprise, Filipinos are d*mn party loving people, and they are too good at singing dude. Too good that Hadyy had rent two Karaoke machine for them.Hadrian also hired about 20 best known Chef in the Philippines to cook different kind of foods and specialty of the country. He invited lots of people, spend lots of money cause this is the f
5 months had passed, Hadrian finally recover his forgotten memories and so as my son, he’s now back to normal. The world is really conforming us. It feels so good in my part.Today is our supposed flight to the Philippines, the place where we’re going to start. It is also the place where his Mom’s dad came from. I can’t also wait to meet our Filipino neighbors. Hadyy and I already talked about it and both agreed to have a brand new start in the different place. His Company are now under his sister, Amber. He decided that it’s time for him to take a rest and so as I. Allison and Olivia take in-charge of the company while Angelina and Ciara and her brother also work in the my company. They doesn’t want to get separated from each other so they decided to remain in the country. I just hope that this time no more hindrance and no more problems to stops us cause I am already happy and contented for what I have had now. Ingrid and her Mom also visited us and ask for forg
Skye and Mom cannot believe that they’re really seeing Hadyy again. Skye was hesitant to closer to his dad and didn’t even offer him a hug. Maybe he is just new to having a Dad to call again.“Is he our Son?” He asked me. I nod at him and simply hummed as a response.He slowly take a step towards Mom and and Skye and gradually extend his hand to our son and cupped his face. “Son?” He mumbled and saw my son starting to tears down then hugged his Dad. I couldn’t be more happy this time seeing my son, my husband and my mom all crying not because they’re in pain or suffering but because they are crying with much happiness and joy that only those tears can describe how much happy we are at this moment.I feel like I’m already living in my dream where one day I see myself holding hands with my family. I don’t need the money, the popularity, expensive things or whatever worldly materials it may be. The smile, the hu
“What do you want to know?” I seriously inquired but it didn’t even move him like he is just waiting for me to say something. I mused for a second, look down my foot waiting for him to answer me.“Everything...the past that I can’t remember.” I can feel the pain that he’d been holding inside him spouting through his freezing tone begging to hear the truth.I am hesitant but I try...try to move my hand and reach for his cold hand. I know it’s a bit awkward for my gender to take the first move but I don’t have a choice, clearly between us I am the only one who knows about our story, our past and our happy memories, I am obliged to make him remember those.He stare at me the moment our hands met. His stare almost melt me, I can’t help but charmed by his familiar stare that my eyes had been missing to see all this time. His energy runs through his hands transferring to me that almost freeze me in my s
Did I heard it right? Adopted? What a word. Unconsciously I broke into the biggest smile that I never had after realizing what Audrey had just said.“Ahh, Ma’am why did we stopped?” She inquired that burst my little bubbles thinking about Hadyy. But it doesn’t matter at least she had something pleasant with her today, and that’s her words.“Nothing.” Is all I said then restart the engine again and parked at Zeno’s restaurant.“Ma’am? What are we doing here?” She inquired moving her torso on my direction. I can see how nervous she is the way her hand clutched to her bag like she is freezing. I know that she really need to be afraid after what she did to Zeno’s sister, but she shouldn’t be cause I’m here for her.“Of course to eat something delicious food by Mr. Malik.” I grabbed my wallet and phone and headed out but kept my right heels on the car as I titled my head at
“Wha-what?” She stuttered.Of course who wouldn’t be surprise by my sudden offer. I wonder if what’s running inside her head but I just hope that I can convinced her to give me a big yes.“Before you answer that, how much is your monthly salary?” I titled my head at her nonchalantly staring at her.“4,000 Dirham.” She timidly mumbled, still looking down on her fidgeting fingers.“4,000?” I could feel the surprise in my own voice. I couldn’t believe that she only receives such a small salary like that knowing that she works almost 24/7. 4,000 Dirham is only equivalent to a thousand and a hundred dollar. She didn’t make even a single move. I paused for a second giving her a moment in case she wanted to say something, but she didn’t.“What about a total of 8,000 Dirham amount of salary for a month?” Like a Dog who smelled his favorite she immediately lift her head and stare at my eyes. “Free lunch,” I continue that widen her eyes even more. “And...head to toe t
Like crazy I dolt my head in the air trying to get this thing out of my head. I feel like I just take a marijuana. I feel so high but can’t understand why I’m hallucinating. “Ugh!” I groaned cupping my face with my hands. I closed the laptop and lie on my bed staring straight to the ceiling. Why do I’m thinking about her? I just met her and saw her but here I am acting like a child who just met his crush. I can’t understand why with all the sudden she came into the page of my life to make things complicated.My eyes flip to the door as I hear someone knocking over. I didn’t bother to leave my bed since the door isn’t lock. “The dinner’s ready.” I heard Ingrid stated over the door without even opening it then heard her footsteps goes away.***The next morning I woke up early. Mom still couldn’t understand why in all of the sudden I changed my mind. For me, maybe because of that guy named Zeno. I just found a reason to stay here until I found his real identity.
