Nala’s Point of View“Wow, you look amazing!” Pinter exclaimed as he admired my reflection in the large mirror in front of us.My eyes widened. “Is that really me?” I asked in disbelief, leaning closer to the mirror to make sure.I couldn’t recognize myself because of the makeup Pinter had applied and the way he styled my brown hair, which made my fair complexion stand out. He left a few strands of hair framing my face to enhance the overall look.“Of course, Miss Nala. I didn’t do much to your face because, with or without makeup, you’re beautiful. No wonder Fafa Lion likes you so much. Oh my god, I’m so thrilled for you!” He squealed.I couldn’t help but smile and adjust my seat. We had a business event to attend tonight with Hugo, and here I was, getting dolled up by Pinter, an international Filipino makeup artist who is currently based in Manila. Pinter is talkative, so he’s not intimidating, and he’s easy to get along with, so I wasn’t bored at all because he had so many stories

Nala’s Point of ViewI slowly opened my eyes, feeling a strong arm wrapped around my waist. I then felt a gentle kiss on the tip of my nose. The familiar scent of Hugo’s aftershave immediately registered in my nose.“Wake up, baby,” Hugo whispered softly in my left ear.As I fully opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the unique color of his eyes, illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window of his room.“Good morning,” I greeted him in a hoarse voice and smiled.He smiled back and quickly kissed my lips. My eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as I looked at him.“What?” he asked, noticing my reaction.I quickly covered my mouth and spoke, “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet!”He chuckled softly. “So?”“What do you mean ‘so’? My breath might stink!” I smelled my breath while still covering my palm with my mouth. I didn’t smell anything bad, but it's better to be sure!“It’s not,” he said. “You look beautiful while sleeping, especially since you are on my bed.”I rol

Nala’s Point of ViewI feel like I just went deaf. I don’t know if I was just dreaming or if this is really happening. It can’t be a prank because that would be too ridiculous.My gaze shifted to Hugo, who didn’t seem surprised by my presence, and then to Dominic, who looked shocked while staring at me.“I-I just misheard, right?” I stuttered, feeling my heart race with nervousness.“No. You heard it right,” Hugo said.I closed my eyes in disbelief. How? How did Dominic become my sibling? Did Mama lose a child? But that’s impossible because I know his story.“You knew that she was here, right, Lion?” Dominic asked Hugo, his voice filled with disbelief.Hugo shrugged. “She deserves to know, Velasco. I’ve been keeping this to myself for the past few months. I realized that she needs to know who she is,” he said seriously, then turned his back on Dominic.“Where are you going?” Dominic questioned.“You two need to talk. That’s a family matter. Explain to her everything,” he said coldly,

Nala’s Point of ViewI don’t know what I should do or feel. My emotions are all mixed up right now, and I have no idea how to handle this. I’m hurt, nervous, on the verge of tears, annoyed, and angry. I’m so confused. There are so many questions bothering me, and I don’t know where to get the answers.My hands are still shaking from what happened. I can’t understand what’s really going on. It’s like I’m inside a maze, and I don’t know where or how to get out.The armed man let go of my arm as we entered the room. Despite my racing heart, I managed to look at the room we had entered.The room was styled in modern Spanish. The walls were painted deep blue with extravagant gold accents, as if to signify their value.In the middle of the room was a large four-poster bed with a plush, navy blue duvet. There were luxurious mahogany furnishings, a bronze lamp, and a dark wood nightstand. The high ceiling was adorned with a chandelier and sconce.Maybe if I were in a better situation, I could

Nala’s Point of ViewIt’s been five days since I last spoke with Daniel Cordova in his office. Unlike my first two days here, when I was confined and not allowed to leave my room, now I’m allowed to go out, but there are still armed men following me, closely monitoring my every move.In those five days, I haven’t seen Damian again. Honestly, I don’t care. What I’m wondering is, why does it seem like my father doesn’t know about my pregnancy? If he really told my father that I’m pregnant, shouldn’t they be doing something now to get rid of my baby?Not that I want any harm to come to mine and Hugo’s baby. It’s actually good that they don’t know I’m pregnant, but I’m starting to get confused about Damian’s identity.Is he a foe or an ally? Should I trust him or not?If he is indeed an enemy, he might have already told my father about my pregnancy, but my father doesn’t care, or perhaps they’re still planning how to erase me from their sight, that’s why they haven’t done anything yet.It
