Rodleigh's POV:

When I returned to the hospital, I found Cianna smiling as she talked to our children. I peeked slightly at the door to listen to their conversation.

"Lessandra, promise me, you'll take care of your twin sister, okay?" Cianna said to the twins.

"Why, Mommy? Can't you take care of us anymore?" Lessandra asked her Mom sadly and with a hint of astonishment.

"It's not like that, I mean, I'm not here for life to take care of you." she explained.

I just realized I was already crying. It seems to she's ready on letting us all know that she's really dying. But it is not possible, it is not yet time, not yet until the things written on her list are fulfilled.

"Don't worry about me, mom. I can handle myself." Lessanna said to her Mom proudly.

"Thank you. I'm forever grateful for having you two." she said to our twins while holding her tears.

"Can you give Mommy a hug?" She asked crying.

"Sure, mom!" the twins replied with a very big smile on their faces.

I flinched when I was suddenly pointed at by an unfamiliar man."Excuse me?" I said confusedly as I pointed to myself."How dare you to ranaway after getting the money that you've asked?" He said angrily. I was even more confused by what he said. What currency is he referring to?"Lessanna, you need to go home because my Grandpa is coming. He wants to see you. He wants to meet my wife—""Stop!" I never let him finished his words. I also quickly pulled him into a private place. It’s hard, we’re at school and I don’t want my pupils to see the way I talk to this guy. I don’t know what he’s saying."What are you saying? What wife?" I asked him annoyed. I don't really know him but if he speaks it's like we'll meet and I'm in arrears with him."Have you forgotten? Didn't you beg me to take you as

I also took the white candles and lit them one by one in front of the picture of Mom and Dad.When I lit the candles, I looked up at the sky as if in the future and I was talking to Mom and Dad.Even before I could speak, I could feel my tears welling up immediately. I tried to stop crying by biting my lower lip."Mom, I really miss you and Daddy. Do you know that?" I cried talking to Mommy and Daddy while looking at their pictures."If I could just ask one wish, I would have wished for a long time that you were still here. Maybe, if you and Dad hadn't died right away, Lessanna wouldn't have run away, would she?" I kept talking to the two of them."But it doesn't ma

I said softly before I slowly removed my seatbelt."You don't have to be nervous." Smiling, he said. But he still didn't say enough so that I wouldn't be nervous, I seemed even more nervous."What if he doubts?" I couldn’t help but asked him."No, what you're thinking won't happen. Trust me. Just act like naturally." He said to lighten my spirits. I just forcedly smiled before nodding to him."Ashton!" His Grandfather immediately greeted him. Ashton greeted his Grandfather with open arms. They just hugged for a moment then his Grandpa patted his shoulder."So, do I have a great -grandchild with you?" he asked Ashton laughing. I winced at what I heard."Lessanna!

I mean, you're my wife now." he added."Correction, your fake wife." I said while showing him my beautiful smile."Yeah. But what if Grandpa asks why we're not together?" he said suddenly. I could not speak for a moment because of what he said. But if you think about it, we haven't gotten to know each other very well yet so I'm also not comfortable living with him."Maybe you can find a way, can't you?" I asked him. He just looked into my eyes then he just shrugged."Living together is the only way, Lessandra." he said seriously so I swallowed."But I do not know you." my direct justification. He looked serious then he barely adjusted the necktie he was wearing. He didn't speak anymore so I let him know again that I was getting o

Somehow I still have respect left in my body despite what she did to me."Don't make any mistake of telling my brother what I have done to you if you don't want me to do it again to you. Also, it's not the only thing I can do, my dear Lessanna. Do you understand?" she said emphatically as she fixed her make-up. I clenched my fist again. I also cleaned myself up after I went out of the bathroom first."Are you alright?" Ashton's opening question to me when I got back to our table. Perhaps, Ashton knew that her sister did not feel well for me because I could see the concern in his eyes.I slowly sat back in my chair then I just smiled at Ashton."Yes, I'm okay." I said.

He stopped when I called him, but I knew he still didn’t pay attention to me because he was talking to someone over the cellphone."What?" he asked annoyed after he dropped the call of the person he was talking to earlier on the line."Where are you going? Are you coming home for dinner?" I asked him one question after another. He just frowned at me after he looked at the wristwatch he was wearing."Stop acting like a real wife, Lessandra! You're just my fake wife, remember?" I recoiled because of the sudden shaking of my knees. I fainted at the words he uttered in my face."I have to go, bye!" he added and left like he didn't care. When he finally left, I just sat on the floor while hugging my knees.I never thought that after my decision, my life would end like this. It's been a month since I moved in with him.

    Lessandra's POV:"Why did you do that?" Ashton asked me coldly when we were outside. He also rubbed his sinuses then wiped his face with his two hands."I just think it's the right thing to do." My response was calm. His forehead furrowed even more then he became restless. He seems to wanted to do something he can’t do, so, he stops it."What are you doing here?" He asked again. I can see that he's still bothered. But he just didn’t know how to get the mess out of his mind."As what I've said earlier, I'm here for you." I answered him honestly. His eyes narrowed as he looked at me. I can see different emotions in his eyes, but none of them is familiar to me."Lessandra, tell me the truth, do you like me?" I don’t know where he got that idea and why that’s what he asked me. I couldn’t answer right away because I wasn’t ready for that question."Ex — excuse me?" I stuttered to say. I also recoiled because of his strange stare and the way he slowly approached me."Ashton—"Tsup!I close

I first checked to see if Owwsic had an update on his new story, but when I saw nothing else I was annoyed and threw away my phone and went downstairs. I hated Franz, but I didn't want to sleep without eating. When I came down, I found him busy preparing food on the table. "You know how to cook." I commented coldly as I looked at the food he served on the table. "There's nothing I can't do." he bragged. "I guess the arrogance was over. You're lifting your own chair. Nice." I said sarcastically before he turned away. "Where are you going?" he asked. But I ignored him. He's at fault for me, maybe he forgot? "Wife, I'm asking you." he said sternly. I almost smiled after he called me 'wife' but no, I'm still angry. I continued looking for instant noodles in the food container cabinet. When I saw the cup noodles I smiled as I am try

"You know what Dos? You're bothering me. Look, I'm playing! Why don't you sit beside Tres who is just quiet?" annoyed, Quattro said to Dos. "Look! I'm already dead! You know how good it is to hit you?" He sighed even more after his opponent shot him while he was playing online. "Hey, you two!"We stood up at the same time when Uno arrived. "Why are you late now?" I almost asked Uno. "There's an opponent in the house, I made sure of her safety first." He said without emotion. I smiled after hearing his reasoning. Everyone seems to agree with the plan.

Just the other day we came here to the Carters mansion in Canada. Franz says this Mansion in Canada is owned by his Grandfather on his father side. I feel like I'm just in a dream. So there’s no time I don’t pat my cheek to confirm if these things are really happening in my life. I mean, this, today. It never crossed my mind that at the age of twenty-three I would get pregnant and get married. Yes, my dream is to get married but I hope not now. If only I could follow in the footsteps of my Mom Cianna, to become a famous international model. But I feel vague when that thing happens. Maybe, this is really destined and expected to happen, so I have to accept that from this day I am married. I stared at Franz intently after he took my hand to say his vows.

"I've heard everything, I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you. If only I know that Franz's going to betrayed you, I shouldn't have let him gets you." Ashton said. I just shrugged at the two then hugged them tightly. About my pregnancy, my twin doesn't know about it yet. "It's all right. I'm very much fine." I told them. Lessandra and Ashton just looked at each other, they look like they're not convinced to what I said. Fine. "Hi, baby Hope!" I greeted my niece. She just look straight to me. Her eyes were so beautiful and her face was peaceful. I wish I was still a child like Hope, no problem, no heartache, and peaceful. "Okay, let's go? I know you're tired and you need rest." Lessandra said while smiling."Yeah. Thanks." I said and got into the car. While we were on the way, I was just looking outside. I

Seriously, you'd think that, who would have thought that Franz Kyle Carter would get me pregnant? Well, he's just sorry because he cheated on me, so it's me and my baby now. I'll take care of this baby in my womb alone.Since it's Sunday now so I'm not in my Boss Tanner's office. By the way, he already knew that I was pregnant.

It's a good thing that their meeting hasn't started yet, I'm still guilty because I thought I ruined the meeting that we're supposed to be attending because of me, it's a good thing and it's not. As what I am saying, it's Sunday and I'm at the mall now. Cristy also has a walk so she just took me to the mall, she said she would just pass me later.

    Lessanna's POV:"Lessanna!" Franz called me when he saw me at the restaurant with my new Boss. I did not look at him, instead I accelerated my walk so that he could not reach me."Lessanna, wait!" When he finally chased me, he pulled me closer to him, causing my heart to beat faster."What is your problem?" I asked him annoyed."What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly leave the hospital yesterday?" He asked me angrily. I laughed at him because of his question."Why, what do you want me to do? Stay there even if your Dad kicks me out? Are you kidding me?" I said full of sarcasm."But we have a deal, right? Haven't we already talked about it? Besides, you said you didn't care what Dad said, did you?" he said. Yes, I said those words but I didn't expect it that it was that painful to hear."But I'm hurt!" my defense of myself."I'm just human too, Franz! How about you, when you're hurt, you're still going to stay? Aren't you?" I shouted angrily at him."Of course, I will stay! Especi

    Lessanna's POV:"Good morning!" Franz greeted me warmly when I came out of my room. "Good morning." I greeted him back. It's embarrassing if I'm going to be cursed, isn't it? I'm here at their house so I have to be kind. "Are you nervous?" he asked me so the left side of my eyebrow was raised. "Why would I be nervous?" I raised my eyebrows at him. "I'm just asking because you'll be meeting my father now, right?" he said. I just rolled my eyes. "There's nothing to be nervous about, I don't care what your Dad thinks of me. I don't love you." I said calmly before I turned my back on him. I saw the sudden change in his aura. Maybe he got offended to what I said. Even though I knew he was offended I didn’t apologize. I was right. I don't care if her Dad accepts me or not. After Franz and I had talked earlier, he never spoke again. I can feel that he's really upset to what happened earlier, but it's not my fault. It's his fault for being offended. Now we are currently walking into h

We just arrived in Los Angeles today and he took me right away to his office here and introduced me to his employees as his wife. "Franz, what's that?" I asked Franz angrily when we got home to his mansion. He first took off his coat then he just threw it on the headboard of his bed. Messy! "What?" He asked. He is now sitting on the bed and taking off his socks. "Why so fast? And who told you you could kiss me? It was my first kiss!" I said angrily. He was stunned at what he was doing then he looked into my eyes. I was even more annoyed when he suddenly grinned, a silly grin. "I told you, I'm a quick-witted person, Lessanna. What's the matter now? You don't want that, your husband is the most handsome man in the country? Aren't you supposed to be grateful for that? About the kiss, I ' m glad that I'm your first kiss.

    Lessanna's POV:When we arrived at the hospital, Lessandra was still in the delivery room while Ashton was outside and restless. "Ashton, how's my twin sister?" I asked him. He just look at me and didn't bother to answer my question. "He's nervous." Franz whispered to me. I just nodded. I also remember that Ashton didn't really talk when he was nervous. So I kept quiet and waited for Lessandra to give birth. After about three hours of labor, Lessandra finally gave birth to her baby. We were also allowed to enter so the three of us entered immediately. "Sweetheart!" Ashton calls Lessandra worriedly. He immediately approached her and hugged her tightly. Lessandra, on the other hand, was crying. From what I can see now, my twin sister is very happy. And I'm happy for her as well. I was also carried away by my emotions so I also couldn’t help but cry. "Here's your daughter, Ma'am and Sir." Smiling, the nurse handed the baby to Lessandra. Lessandra accepted her baby slowly and carefu
