RHEA'S POVWhen I woke up that morning, I thought I had dreamt about the night with Estefan, but the feeling of his bare skin on mine and the soreness between my legs was enough to prove that it wasn't.As much as I wanted to regret giving my body to him like that, I couldn't bring myself to because it felt so right with him. Still wrapped in my towel, I rummage through the closet, trying to look for an outfit that would hide all the love bites on my body, but I couldn't find any because they were all over my body. When I said all over my body, I meant all over.A pair of hands snaked around from behind and a deep voice whispered in my ear, "what are you doing?""I have no idea what to wear." I sighed, leaning into him."Your side of the closet is full of clothes that you haven't even touched once, so how come you don't know what to wear?" Estefan asked with confusion laced in his voice."It's because of you that I can't wear any of this." I turned to him with accusing eyes."How did

RHEA'S POVOut of shock, I remained rooted on the dressing table, staring at Esmeralda with a bewildered look. I was waiting for her to laugh at my face and say it was a joke, but seconds turned to minutes and she was still sporting that serious expression on her face."Are you sure? Is it really Leah? As in my elder sister, Leah?" I questioned. "Yes, it's your sister." She rolled her eyes at my question. "She is waiting for you downstairs," she said before walking away.I blinked in confusion and turned to Estefan who clenched his jaws in anger. "Why do you think she's here?" "I don't know, but I'm sure there's a negative hidden agenda behind her visitation." He held my hands that were sitting lazily beside me. "She has already hurt you enough, I'm not going to sit here and let that happen again." His lips came in contact with my forehead before he moved to walk away.Holding him back with his hand, I asked, "What are going to do?""Kick her out," he replied without skipping a beat

LEAH'S POVAfter what I found out, I wasted no time boarding the next available plane to Spain. It was easy to enter the palace since the guards recognized me as Rhea's elder sister. "What are you doing here?" Esmeralda attacked me the moment I stepped into the living room. "Are you here to hurt Rhea again?" "No, of course not." I shook my head as I stare at her parents with pleading eyes. "I know I've been horrible to my sister but I really need to speak with her, please." They stared at each other before Queen Carina ordered her daughter to get Rhea. I took my seat on the couch but I could feel the cold stares of the King and Queen on my skin. I knew I deserved it and I regretted everything I did to Rhea. She was innocent in all of this and yet, I blamed her for it. If only I had listened to my sister and stood by her, I could have saved her from the trap that Estefan had set for her but I didn't. Rhea didn't deserve what Estefan and I did her, so that was why I made it my missi

ESTEFAN'S POV' I have my entire life to spend with you.' Rhea's words played in my head over and over again after she walked out of my study room. I wasn't hearing things, was I? She did say that. That means she no longer wants to get divorced. She has decided to stay and spend the rest of my life with me. Or was I jumping to a conclusion? Did she just say that without giving it any thought? "Damn." I ran my head through my hair. "What are doing to me, Rhea?" I needed to put myself out of this misery by finding time to talk to her about us. What was going to become of us after her dad's project is over? Are we going to part way like we planned to, or has she changed her mind? Left to me, I planned on staying by her side forever if she let me. We haven't been married for long but I couldn't imagine my life without her. My life would go back to drowning in darkness if she left and I didn't want that to happen. I liked the new person she has turned me into and I hoped to remain that

RHEA'S POV"The truth about what?" I asked, looking back and forth between them.The colour on Estefan's face drained as he stared at me with wide eyes. "Rhea, what are you doing here? Do you need something?" He masked his shock with a smile as he came toward me."Don't try to change the topic, what were you guys talking about? Is there something I need to know?" I narrowed my eyes at him."It's nothing, just go back to our room and get some sleep." Estefan tried to stir me back toward the door.I shook his hand off him and moved closer to Leah. "What's going on? What are you guys hiding from me?" "Um, I.. We.." She kept looking behind me where Estefan was standing. "It's about the truth about why I'm here." "Why you are here?" I raised my eyebrow at her."This is supposed to be a surprise for you but I don't want you to misunderstand the situation, so I might have to ruin the surprise," she started. "We were planning to throw a surprise party for you on your birthday." "My birthda

ESTEFAN'S POVAll my brain cells died when I saw Rhea standing by the doorway with accusing eyes. I knew a lot of negative thoughts were going through her head but I couldn't think of anything to counter them.For the first time in seven years, I was grateful to Leah for managing to convince her and change the topic which raised another question in my mind."Is Rhea's birthday tomorrow?" I turned to Leah the moment Rhea walked out. "Yes. It's part of the reason I came here." She bobbed her head. "I've not been able to celebrate Rhea's birthday with her for a few years now because I always have something scheduled for that day, so celebrating her birthday with her is another way of apologizing for what I did." "How come she didn't even mention it once?" I raised my eyebrows at her. "Rhea always forgets her birthday. If I didn't come here, you would have ended up treating the day like every other day because the birthday celebrant doesn't even know it's her day," she explained. "She

RHEA'S POVAfter I finished the breakfast Estefan made for me, he washed up and left saying he had to pick up something outside the palace. I went into the bathroom and stepped into the bathtub filled with water. As I sat inside the tub, I realized that I had never had a good memory of my birthday and that day was no different. My birthday was cursed to be a sad day for me. If not, why did I have to find out the truth about Estefan just a day before my birthday? Feeling depressed, I sunk my head into the water and remained still for almost minutes. When I could no longer hold my breath, I pushed my head out of the water, gasping for breath. I ended my bath session and stepped out of the bathtub. I went into my closet to get dressed before I made my way out of the room. Stepping out of the elevator on the first floor, I froze on my spot when I noticed all the decorations in the room. "I thought the birthday party was just a cover-up for their lies. Looks like they are going through

ESTEFAN'S POVONE MONTH LATERI sat in my study lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the door open. "Hey bro," Esteban's voice pulled me back into reality."Oh, you're back." I blinked my eyes. "How was your honeymoon?" "It was the best month of my life." He grinned as he perched on the edge. "So how was everything here without me? And how are things going with Rhea?" "Everything went well. Rhea is fine too." I shrugged as I tried to concentrate on the computer in front of me. Esteban took a good look at me and said, "What's wrong?" I knew I couldn't hide the fact that I wasn't okay from him no matter how I tried not to let it show.Deciding not to hide anything from him because I knew he always had a solution, I replied, "it's Rhea." "You guys were doing fine before we left, what happened?" "Nothing, that's the problem." I leaned into my chair as I ran my finger through my hair. "I thought we were doing fine too until I noticed she was drifting away from me. She avoids spend

RHEA'S POVSitting with my legs crossed on the bed, I continued reading the next chapter of the book I started that morning. Everyone was catching up downstairs with Anna and Esteban but I preferred to be on my own. Before the end of next month, I would no longer be with them so I was trying to get used to not having them around me. I knew that it would be hard to go back to spending every single day within the four walls of my dad's house without seeing any of them but I had to adapt to it again. It wasn't difficult then, so it shouldn't be difficult when I leave, right?A knock on the door pulled my attention away from my book. Estefan would never knock before coming in, so I knew it had to be someone else."Come in," I answered.The door opened and Anna walked in with a smiley face. "Hi." "Hey." I returned the gesture. "It's good to have you back." "Yeah." She took the same position I was taking opposite me. "Why didn't you join everyone else in the living room?""No reason. I j

ESTEFAN'S POVMy eyes widened in shock as I stared at the woman in front of me, who was about to give up her dreams because of her fear. At that moment, I understood that the opposite of success is not failure, it's fear. One would only fail when one stops trying but one would never succeed if fear was holding you back. And that was Rhea's case.She put the laptop aside and was about to lie down on the bed when I pulled her back up by her arm."Are you serious right now? You want to let all your hard work go down the drain?" I scrunched my eyebrows as I spoke."Do I have a choice? she whispered and I could hear the sadness in her voice. She wasn't ready to forfeit her win, it was her fear speaking for her. I had to do something to help her get rid of it, or else it would cause bigger problems in the future."You have a choice, Rhea. Everybody does. You limit yourself to things that are convenient for your condition that's why you don't explore the choices you have." "Then what do y
