CHAPTER 20

MOST of the Chaudhary relatives arrived at night, and Triana and Devance had to greet them. They had a custom of bowing down and kissing their feet as a sign of respect for their immediate family, although this was not required. Devance had advised her not to follow it since they would only do this to their parents. It would be tiring if they did it for every family member. Besides, Triana was not used to this kind of tradition.“Kanchhi, have you seen Dev?” Akhil was beaming when he asked her.“Y-yes, Dad. I think he’s on the roof deck.” She averted her gaze. It was because since he left with Eshvi, she hadn’t seen him until now.“Please come to the living room downstairs. My family wants to see you both.” Akhil reminded her before he left.“Yes, Dad.” Triana moved in haste. Where could she find Devance in this massive house? He tried calling him, but there was no answer.Triana went to his room on the fifth floor. The door was not locked, but it was empty. She bumped with Austin and

CHAPTER 21

TRIANA could not complain when Devance guided her into his room late at night. She was too tired to argue with him. She might even lose consciousness anytime now because she was bone-weary.“I can sleep in my room.” Triana harshly sighed as she studied his room—it was minimalistic, with a black and white interior. A 3D world map was hung on top of the cream leather couch. “Are you crazy? We’re married now. You know we can’t sleep in a different room in this house, especially now that my entire clan is here. What would they think if we slept in a separate bed?”“I get your point. But I can’t share a room with you.”“You have to endure more, sweetheart,” he teased. “Dev, I’m exhausted. I want to rest.” She went to bed and sat in silence, surprised at how smooth it was. She assumed it was probably a waterbed.“Go ahead. I’ll sleep on the couch. I’ll just change. You can use the bathroom.” He pointed in the direction from the right side, “by the way. All your belongings are in this room

CHAPTER 22

TRIANA’S family and Devance’s parents went back to the Philippines to attend the board meeting two days after the wedding. Akhil assured them that he’d be in charge of the turnover. He promised to appoint Devance as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors in the next three months and Triana as the Chief Executive Officer. Devance was euphoric upon learning about his appointment. “I thought you’re just going to make the President of AGC. But being a top-ranking executive means a lot. I promise to make you proud, Dad.” “I expect more of you, son. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my gift.” Akhil was cheerful while he handed a check amounting to one hundred million pesos. It was his personal gift as their allowance for their honeymoon for the next three months. “If possible, I want a grandchild,” Akhil added. This startled the couple. But they did not make it a big deal and shrugged it off, thinking it was a joke. “We’ll try hard, Dad,” Devance tried to sound sure. The couple thanked

CHAPTER 23

TRIANA and Devance went back home around seven o’clock. The night escape of Kathmandu and Bhaktapur was enchanting. There were so many colorful lights blinking around the city. It was almost mid-October, and most people were preparing for the Festival of Lights. “I guess our families will be back here in the next two weeks to celebrate the Tihar. It’s a five-day Hindu Festival,” Devance informed her while walking in the helipad and going inside.“Yeah, the Festival of Lights.” Triana nodded. She knew that the Chaudharys celebrated a lot of festivals because of their culture, and she found it amusing.“Come, dinner must be ready.” They sauntered to the dining room, and Xavier was there.“Where is Dexa?” Devance asked his brother-in-law.“She flew to India earlier to attend a bridal shower. She’ll be back after two days,” Xavier answered while putting some Chhoila on his plate. It was spiced grilled buffalo meat.Devance was surprised. “Whoa, and she didn’t let you join?”“She said it

CHAPTER 24

“WHAT the hell is the meaning of this?!” Triana was finally relieved—it was Dexa. It appeared she had just got home from the airport. She wore a pink saree with her smokey make-up and vibrant red lipstick.Xavier halted for a moment, enough for Triana to push him away. The man clenched his jaw.“Didi! Help me!” Triana quickly got up and ran towards her sister-in-law. She was used to calling her Didi since it was a Nepali term for an older sister.Triana clasped Dexa’s arm as tears fell on her face. But she was dumbfounded when Dexa pushed her away, motioned her hands, and slapped her without warning.“Why does my husband seem to be moaning on top of you? Are you enjoying it?” Dexa said sarcastically.“Didi!” Triana was horrified as she gaped at her. She held her burning cheek, but it was nothing compared to realizing Dexa was not there to help.“Do not call me that! I knew something was wrong when I saw my husband enter a different room.” Dexa stared at her as if betrayed. “Honey, I

CHAPTER 25

TRIANA found that Dexa and Xavier were not in the house the next day. Devance informed her beforehand, and she was glad. She’d have her peace of mind.She freshened up quickly. Triana thought it was just a nightmare. She was thankful that Devance never left her side. She was so scared last night, thinking Xavier might be back to force her again.“Are you ready?” Devance asked when he entered the room. And as usual, he had just come from the swimming pool with a white towel covering his lower body.“I’ll have my tea.” She tried to smile and avert her gaze to his torso. “Thanks, about last night.”“Oh, don’t mention it. Let’s catch the flight at nine.” “A-about that, I think I changed my mind.” She hesitated to tell him the reason.“But why?” His forehead creased. Triana knew he was just anxious about her condition. That was why he suddenly decided to return to the Philippines.She cleared her throat. “Caleb called a few minutes ago, and he confirmed his flight going to Bhutan a day af

CHAPTER 26

“DON’T you think it’s immature for you to do?” Austin couldn’t hold himself to reprimand Devance. They were occupying the suite beside Triana and Caleb’s room.“Can’t you see it’s fun?” Devance clicked his tongue. He leaned his back on the cream-colored leather couch. Devance found everything hilarious, and there was nothing wrong with what he had done. He knew Caleb and Triana missed each other so much. Making fun of them was something he loved to do.He planned everything since he was still on the plane; he brought flowers outside the airport, and upon reaching the hotel, Devance called the room service to give a special breakfast to the next room. He just gave specific instructions and time intervals. Even the monk was his accomplice. Of course, Austin had a point. This was immature. But he enjoyed annoying her off.Devance was silently laughing as he imagined Triana’s pissed-off face. But he couldn’t hide how worried he was about the incident the other day. He admired her strong

CHAPTER 27

AT DINNERTIME, Devance and Austin ate together with the three women they met at the tour in the Tiger’s Nest earlier. They learned that the girls were from Australia. It appeared they were getting itchy to warm their beds in private.“Aren’t you going to do something to disturb the couple again?” Austin suddenly asked while they were eating. He only started talking when the women excused themselves to retouch their make-up in the ladies’ room.Devance only shrugged. “Nope, I was just making fun earlier. I want to respect their privacy as long as Tri is happy. She deserves it.”“I see,” Austin nodded. “A lot of things happen when you’re away, Austin. I almost killed a man.” Devance suddenly remembered the night when Xavier forced Triana. And no words could appease his anger until now.Austin’s face beamed with interest. He hadn’t told him yet about the incident.“Why, what happened?” Austin sounded concerned. “Xavier, that bastard, came to Triana’s room in the middle of the night….”

CHAPTER 28

“I’M SORRY, darling.” Triana was teary-eyed as she glanced at Caleb. They immediately went back to the hotel because Akhil had called her. He asked where they were at the moment. As if making sure that she was with Devance.“No need to be sorry. You know I always understand you. Somehow, I’ve predicted this will happen once you get married. And I settled with it, right? I’m happy at least we’re together even for two days.” Caleb embraced her tight. He helped her pack her things after a while.Triana bit her lower lip when everything was ready. Sadness clouded her heart. She didn’t know when to see him again. She knew Caleb was a very busy man, and he would always make time for her. Just like now, he traveled extra miles to meet her.She hugged him from his back. “I’ll miss you. I promise to find ways to meet you again. Devance will help us.”Caleb heaved a sigh. He clasped her hand and faced her. “I see you’re getting close to Devance. I admit I’m jealous and afraid you’d fall for him

CHAPTER 29

DEXA angrily entered her room and shoved a few crystal vases with fresh red roses on the bedside table. Everything broke, and yet it was not enough. She even kicked a large ceramic vase in her collection. It was her favorite, and too late for her to regret despite realizing her hardship of acquiring it from China, and it was recorded from the Qing Dynasty. The intricate pottery was shattered into pieces.“Damn you, bitch!” She was so mad at Triana and disappointed in her father, especially with Devance. She couldn’t believe they’d joined forces to humiliate her.“Liars!” Dexa was enraged. She knew Xavier was not perfect, but she was sure he loved her and would never do such an odious thing to Triana. He promised to start a new life with her before they married two years ago. He even swore that he’d change for the better only for her. And she believed him.She scurried to the walk-in closet. It was full of her luxury collections of bags and shoes. But she only got her few favorites and
