Chapter 17- Alejandro
“So, my little bird whispered that your brother is in the Philippines right now and looking for Cameron,” Matias stated with an evil smile playing on his lips. “I am quite interested. What if he knows that Cameron is pregnant? This will be a quiet scene, two brothers fighting for one woman, and now the baby was in the picture. It fueled everything. What do you think, Alejandro?”
I drop the papers that I am reading and instantly looked at the man casually sitting in front of me. “I wonder how did you manage to get that information, Matias,” I asked conversationally, trying to hide my irritation when he said my brother’s name. Matias loved to play tricks and manipulate you with his words. He is a total hard-ass, but he was also a loyal hard-ass
 
Alejandro I woke up when I felt that someone is shaking my bed. Oh, not just my bed I guess the whole world is shaking. Is there an earthquake? Ahh… I remember. I was inside the plane, I look at my watch and sigh, one more hour and we will be in Spain, in no time. I struggle to get up, as far as I remember I was sitting on my chair but now I am lying on a reclined chair covered on a pillow and blanket. And the reason I can’t move properly is that someone is hugging me tightly. I looked up and stared at the fascinating creature sleeping peacefully beside me. He had a perfect lashes that give justice to his golden eyes, a thick eyebrow that looks perfect on his round shape face, pinkish lips that one look you will know that he is not
Chapter 19 My heart was pounding in my chest as we were about to step outside the airplane. I promised myself that I would never go back to this country. But guess what? I’m about to set foot on Spanish soil again. I couldn’t help but swallow hard. I stood from my seat and stared outside the plane window when the pilot announces our arrival at Madrid international airport. Then, I noticed that the plane was already standstill, and there was a black helicopter waiting nearby. “Do you want to freshen up before we go out?” Alejandro inquired lightly. “Don’t worry you didn’t drool when you sleep. You look just fine if it’s bothering you.”&nb
Chapter 20Feels so good to be back. Those were probably the words a person would say when she had just come home after six months of absence.But not me. I told myself silently as I stared blankly at the magnificent view of the beach. Spain just held many bitter memories for me. But I have no choice.Yes. You have a choice, Cameron. You can get away from here after you secured your baby’s condition. Remember, you have no room in his life before. He brings you to his beach house and not to the palace because you are not part of his life now. Remember that.I exhaled the breath that I never know that I was holding. I already expected that Alejandro would never bring me back to his palace located at the top of the mountain. But my heart was stupid and hoped, and now I felt disappointed—what a shame. I do need to get away from here really soon.I am now standing inside the magnificent white and cream-colored three-floored lux
Chapter 21 The last thing I expected was to had a peaceful life, happy me, happy life. It should be easy, right? But who am I kidding? If my life is tangle with the likes of this Spaniard count? It was a downright disaster waiting to happen. You’re an idiot! I shouted at myself, making the same mistake again and again is the stupid thing to do. And being with the man who badly hurt me is another level of stupidity. And the most challenging thing was, I already know that. The next morning. I think heaven that after long months I had a decent sleep. I have been deprived of myself since then. I hate to admit it, but I felt better than I had in a week. I had certainly gotten more rest in the past twenty-four hours of sleep than I had in a long time. I’m still yawning when I enter the state-of-the-art kitchen of Alejandro. I’m looking for crackers it helps me keep my nausea at bay, especially early in the morning. I wish th
Chapter 22 “I don’t understand. Are you this cold and numb towards me?” Alejandro asks me without a hint of sarcasm. I nodded. “Yes,” I answered truthfully since that was, I really feel. “You really hate me that much? Even a simple thank you. I didn’t receive from you.” His eyes darken while looking at me. He is sitting in front of me now, devouring his favourite food. “But I don’t need those fancy things in the first place.” I tried to be calm. I grabbed
Chapter 23 Alejandro’s Her smile, as bright as the sun, was the first thing that caught my attention. Vibrant and shining. So effervescent and full of unfettered joy that it arrested me, and I couldn’t remember what I’d been thinking just moments earlier, even our nonsense argument all faded away. I never forget this place because this is her favourite. “Did you remember when you decided to ditch your work, and we came here? It wasn’t summer because the beach was not a perfect place for us.” Cameron asked, joy lacing in her soft voice, but her eyes betrayed her. “It was one of my favourite days. Imagine being on the beach together with the one you love. It is a perfect day.” and she closed her eyes. “When I listen to the sound of the wave
Chapter 24 Cameron’s I sank into the couch, looked outside the sliding patio door, and stared at the almost empty beach. The sun was fading into the horizon, flashes of orange and pink in its wake. And my attention was caught when I heard the door opened, and here comes the man that I thought I’d hate forever. Reciting the poem to him was the right thing to do. I don’t know what came to me, but he deserves to know that someone was looking after me when he turned his back on me. I want him to realize that everything is perfectly fine, even without him. I’ll be fine. A calmness settled over me. I let myself feel happy even after a couple of hours. I let it inside of me even though he hurt me and caused me so much pain. It’s okay, I guess. Because no matter what, he would
Chapter 25 I didn’t sleep that night. Not that I should have come as any surprise to me. I lay awake in my bed, reliving the past. I oath to move on, and yet here I am. I remember when we first met, Alejandro and his pink handcuff when he easily defeated the culprit, and we indeed up laughing together when we found out that we were actually lost in that dark alley. And how he’d swept my feet off into a passionate and all-consuming relationship. From the first day he asked me out, we hadn’t spent a single day apart for several weeks. By the end of the first month of our whirlwind courtship, I finally said yes. And that moment, I experienced how sweet my first ‘I love you is. I had never been quite sure why he’s chosen me. It wasn’t as if I was infe
