I would've still been sleeping. If not for the light that had hit my eyes. I wasn't the type to stay in for five more minutes before getting up in the morning, but my head was still a little fuzzy, and the bed was more comfortable than usual. It didn't help that I was exhausted from yesterday. . . and last night. The curtains were covering the window. They were thick, but light still seeped through the gaps. I looked at the clock and realized that I had slept in. Then, I turned to the other side of the bed, half-expecting that I wouldn't see Percy there, and I was right. If he was still lying next to me, his arm would've been on me, and the bed wouldn't feel so big. I gazed down at my body to find out I was wearing one of my button-down nightshirts. I was so sure I slept without anything because I couldn't break away from Percy-not even a second. He must've dressed me up himself. I wanted to see Marcus, and it was already time for lunch, so he must be eating. I slipped on a plain

"I do, Percy. I want you by my side, always. But I'm not asking because of me," I said. Why was he so forgiving? I told him I loved him, and he accepted it as if I had never hurt him. "Why do you even. . .Why do you even love me? I've hurt you. Even if you say it wasn't intentional, I still did. For that, I don't think I deserve your love."My gaze was pinned on his hand. He lifted his head from my shoulder, and his grip loosened."Who deserves it, if not you?" Percival asked. His voice was firm. "I will always love you. No matter what you do or who you have to become. You'll always be the girl I love."I could feel him staring at me from behind, but I kept myself occupied."More than love, do you trust me? When I told you that nothing happened between me and Cadmus. Do you believe it?" I asked. "Every word," he said without hesitation. "I believed you when you said you wouldn't take him back. I don't want you near him, even if it's only for show or as part of the plan. I've already

THE WEDDING was thirty minutes away. I looked at myself in the mirror. A dozen people scurried around me. My bridesmaids, hairdressers, designers, and everyone who had helped me prepare today. My brother and father came in earlier to congratulate me, but they're probably already at the hall by now."Oh my gosh, you look so fab!" Esther squealed from behind me. "A red gown! This will hit the headlines so hard."I smiled as I eyed my gown once again. A mermaid-styled gown that embraced my curves but flowed enormously from a little above my knee down to the floor. It took up the whole space in front of the mirror, and everyone was careful not to step on it. I wore a necklace that Percival gave me, the one that stands out without trying, over the sweetheart neckline of my gown. My chest, waist, and back were adorned with small diamonds. The back of the dress showed half of my skin with its v-line cut. My red veil doesn't cover my face because it was attached to my braided bun. It was perf

Our rings were made of pure gold, and mine was embedded with diamonds. It was almost impossible for them to break and fade. So, even if the impossible happened, I would still have something to hold onto. Percy gave me the assurance that my heart desperately needed, and my eyes began to well up as he slipped the ring into my finger. "Percival," I started while taking the ring from the bearer. I looked at him before I continued. "I thought I knew love until I stood before you today, and what I feel in my chest feels unfamiliar. It's as if I had never loved any man before you. My heart used to be coddled in its little fantasy. But it was different now. It knows what it's risking." I said.I wish I could thank him for being Marcus' father since that was what I was most grateful for. But I knew better than letting the people in this hall know about my son. Even though it felt like I was alone in this moment with Percival, I knew a lot of eyes were watching--even the ones that weren't here

I didn't bother telling Percy about Helena and decided to talk to her myself. My secretary guided me to where our little uninvited guest was. Showing up here already had too much audacity, but she went even further by wearing a red coat. I sneered, tilting the side of my lips. This girl seemed sophisticated. She was fairly beautiful and successful, but she's showing no class. I've let her antics slide because Percival didn't tolerate or entertain them. I thought it would end there, but I guess Percival wasn't someone you could give up easily. I thought she'd have more decency, but hearts can be quite stubborn. I wasn't sure why she decided to show up. It was already too late to stop the wedding, but I did hope this was her way of closure. "What's the problem here?" I asked the guards as I approached them. "I asked for Percival because I didn't want to bother the bride." Helena carried herself boldly as she spoke to me. She tugged her straight black hair behind her ear and gave m

"You have to behave yourself, Percival. My father's watching you," I said, even though my dad was busy talking to his friends.Percival chuckled and kissed my cheek. He looked at me playfully as he raised our arms, and a giggle left my lips as I twirled. It brought me back to when we were young, and it felt like nothing had passed since then. The night was still young, and the guests seemed to enjoy themselves. I danced with my father after my first dance with Percy. Koen, who used to be my dance partner when we were little, also danced with me tonight. My heart was warmed by the presence of our friends and families, but it was yet to feel complete. By the time I was in Percival's arms again, I already felt tired from all the dancing. We were walking back to our seats when he leaned toward my ear."Wanna ditch the party? Marcus and I might've prepared something for you at home," he whispered."What about dad and your grandfather?" I asked, but my eyes were already glowing with excit

"Did they say why she's here?" I asked, feeling reluctant to let him go. Percival walked me to the kitchen before he answered my question."They said she needed to talk to me. She claims it's important," Percy sighed. "I've been avoiding her. She tried to talk to me and schedule appointments, but I blocked it all out. Should I have spoken to her then?""Is there a history I should be aware of?" I asked. "You told me not to worry, and I'm not. But I want to know why she's doing all this? Especially on our wedding day."Something about Helena made me feel uncomfortable, and it wasn't just her blatant ways of letting me know she wanted my man. I guess it was how she made her motives visible to me but not to other people. She knew what she was doing, and it was hard to know what she was thinking. "Back then, she was in the middle of an arranged marriage. But unlike you, her parents didn't give her a choice. We bumped into each other, and she was drunk on a high-rise building's rooftop.

"You might think you know me, but you don't." Percival's glare would make anyone shudder, but Helena stood her ground. She was determined to do what she came here for. "You know nothing about us. So, get a damn grip."Percival's voice sounded deep and threatening. His patience appeared to be wearing thin. As if he was only a few more exchanges away from walking out on her and placing a restraining order.Helena's back was turned against me, so I couldn't see her expression. But I saw how her shoulders shook as if she just scoffed. I didn't know if I should feel bad for her or be pissed after she used her hand on Percy."But I know that she left you and chose someone else. I'm not like you, Percival. I won't stand by and wait for her to hurt you."What she said struck something inside me, and my gaze fell to the floor. I did feel unworthy of all the love that Percival had offered me, but I wanted him anyway. There was nothing I could do about the past. There were things I didn't know t

Percival's hand pressed against the small of my back, his head tilted towards me, studying me as I read the article."It's from an anonymous account. Chester is working on taking it down," he said. "What do you want to do? Aside from destroying whoever posted this because I'm already on it.""It's time," I said, giving his phone back to him. "There's no need to fuss. I'll schedule an interview tomorrow."Percival pocketed the phone. He turned me towards him, thumbs caressing my forearms."So soon?" he asked, voice laced with concern. He craned his neck, discerning my expression."I've been doing this my whole life, Percy," I said, giving him a reassuring smile. "I just... there were just things in my life that I didn't want people to touch. But I kept the most human parts of me hidden, and I shouldn't have to. I'm no longer afraid of how they'll perceive me after. This has to end now."****Percival and I made arrangements for tomorrow when we returned to our hotel room. I read the ar

Dad almost died. He was in a cardiac arrest while we were away. The doctors said he was stable for now, but they didn't know how long. I stood motionless in Percival's arm, his hand stroking my back, the other cradling my head. We had done everything, and I was running out of ideas. Maybe the only option left was to grieve, even if it didn't sit right with me. Percival offered his quiet support, knowing nothing could be said to make this better, but allowing me to know he was there for me. But our little bubble of silence broke when Andrew appeared with a look of urgency."Your brother's awake."My lips parted, and Percival's grip around me loosened. Without wasting any more time, we strode to my brother's room. I held my breath until I finally saw Koen. . . awake and smiling at me.There he was. The only person who would carry this grief with me. I gave him a faint smile as I walked to his bed, settling on the seat beside it."How are you?" I asked gently."Alive," he huffed out. "

"Is that so?" I asked. "You have no idea how deep you are in the mud right now, do you? Your parents begged us to spare your company--not you, just your company. Your people were so easily bought because their loyalty came with a price."I wasn't sure if she was bluffing or trying to salvage what little pride she had left. But anything she says wouldn't change her fate. There was no life for her outside the bars anymore--not that I'd ever let her out. The amusement on Helena's face slowly died. Her lips formed a thin line as she glared at me. I raised my eyebrows at the change in her demeanor. I guess what I said was new information to her."I never needed them anyway," she mumbled. I didn't think she intended for me to hear that. "But you... how will you survive now that your parents are gone?""My parents are always with me, even when I lose my way or when we're apart. They actually raised me with love and warmth, and I'd say it's a pity you don't have those. But you had plenty of

The officer sat uncomfortably behind his desk, seeming uneasy and intimidated. It was probably due to the office being quite small for five people. There were only two available seats in the room, and my husband and I occupied them. Our lawyer and Andrew were standing behind Percy. They told us that they found Helena while she was trying to board a ship bound for an island far from the capital. Natalie wasn't with her. But we already had a list of places where she could be hiding. Someone knocked on the door, and the officer immediately got up. I smiled as a familiar face came into the room. It was my father's friend and the chief."Katalina, it's nice to see you again. Although, I much prefer to meet you for a different reason," he said with a look of pity. It had been a while since I last saw him, but he had been my father's friend even before my brother and I were born. He and his wife didn't have children, so they often visited us when we were younger. "Vincent, thank you for y

It took two days before the doctors said that my brother's condition had improved and he would wake up anytime soon. I wanted to stay by their side, but we had to head home each night for Marcus. After three days, we decided to discuss the situation with Helena. My family was my top priority, but it was time they filled me in with everything that happened while I was occupied at the hospital and at home.We were at the house, in Percival's office, along with Andrew and Rocco. They laid out pictures of where Helena was spotted after the incident.She might've gotten away, but she'd have no place to hide or people to rely on. Even her trusted assistant had agreed to help us in exchange for a clean slate. Helena might have had the upper hand when we didn't know who was pulling the strings. But even her people knew she'd lose the battle the moment she was discovered. Because in the world we live in, for most people, facing the Marquez head-on was just not possible.All of Helena's crimes

We decided to transfer Aisha here since we couldn't send her back to the hospital where she was originally admitted. She was determined to be by Koen's side, so we let her. I was sure my brother would want her to be at ease. So, we arranged her room to be next to his.While Percy was busy, I brought Aisha to Koen's room. I knew she wanted to run to his side the moment we entered, but she stood with glazed eyes by the door until I told her it was okay to come close. She greeted him with the softest voice I had ever heard and continued to be so careful as she touched him. My brother was still strapped to machines, and I hoped whatever Aisha was saying to him would be enough to bring him back.After she finished talking to him, we both sat quietly in his room. The nurses kept tending to her, asking her to return to her room, but she would beg them to let her stay by his side a little longer.I didn't say anything for the first hour that we sat there. Aisha was clearly worried, and I knew

This was a private hospital with a floor dedicated to their VIP patients. The lounge near the ICU and the corridor to my brother's room were exclusive to us. The other areas and rooms on this floor were also exclusive to the patients occupying them. It was impossible to loiter around without permission.We weren't accepting visitors. That was why this girl here was being driven away by the security and staff. But she seemed panicked, and her voice was begging."Who are you?" I asked as I walked toward them. My eyebrows were knitted as I scanned her appearance. She was wearing a jacket over her hospital gown. Her face looked pale, and she was wearing a beanie. Another patient?She looked at me in shock. I could sense the hesitation, but we both knew the only way to my brother was through me. And she seemed desperate. "I... I'm Aisha. I just want to see Koen. I want to know if he's alright.""Why? Why do you need to know? Who are you?" I asked again. Firmly this time. I had never met th

Light pierced through our curtains, indicating that I had been sitting on this bed for hours. The guards had secured the area, and Marcus had been moved back into his bedroom. My father and Koen were still in the hospital, and I felt too defeated to rush there and see them.I suppose this was the time to feel angry and start thinking of ways to punish whoever did this to my family. After all, anger was the only emotion I knew how to deal with. Because anger meant I could make people pay. I could put them in their place and make anyone regret crossing me. Either that or I shut down my emotions until there was no point in feeling them anymore.Anger. Hatred. Resentment. All of that made me believe that I could do something about the insurmountable grief from my mother's death and from losing the life I used to have. I thought, who could blame me? The grief was inescapable, and there was just no way around it.But the anger that pushed me to victory had also damaged the people and things

PERCIVALI was livid. So much so that my fingers finally curled into a fist. Veins popped out on my arms and neck. But Helena was too busy unbuttoning my shirt to notice all that. Her lips touched my collarbone, and her hands crawled on my chest. It was a challenge to keep my breathing steady when every part of me was aching to know that my wife and children were safe--to hold them close and feel them breathe. But I took on that challenge for them. To save them, I must first save myself. Helena was nothing but a big distraction that I plan to properly get rid of later. I ignored her and kept my eyes fixated on the fingers I could finally move."You know, I have a better idea," she whispered into my ear. "I think you'd start listening to me when I give you a son that's yours. You might even find it easier to forgive me if I carry your child."My gaze shot back at her. Despicable. I would've given her a scoff if I wasn't planning to trick her into thinking that the drug was still in fu
