Miranda's Point of View"That sounded like Doctor Rodriguez," I whispered in an extremely quiet voice, but Vincenzo heard me clearly since he's very close to me.As if we could hear each other's thoughts, we began tiptoeing closer to get a proper look at them and confirm if our guess was right.Luckily, there was a huge bush of flowers ahead, and we used it as a shield, hiding behind it."It's him," Vincenzo whispered back to me.As if his words weren't trustworthy, I took a look for myself and confirmed that the man was truly Doctor Rodriguez."What is he doing here, meeting a woman alone?" I asked, but before Vincenzo could reply, I concluded, "Could it be she's his lover?"Vincenzo shook his head in disagreement. "No," he squinted his eyes. "That's not his lover. She's the King's aunt."My eyes widened in shock. "The King's aunt? Isn't Doctor Rodriguez a bit too old to be her son?"Doctor Rodriguez is a middle-aged man and not much younger than the King's aunt, so it does not make
Miranda's Point of View.Anna watched me worriedly; her eyes were urging me to tell her what's going to happen, but I shook my head."I don't know what is going to happen, Anna," I said.Doubt was clearly showing in her eyes as she stared pleadingly at me, silently begging me to tell her everything I knew."Honestly, Anna, I don't know. I am as clueless as you. The only thing I know is that Vincenzo might expose the culprit on your birthday celebration, and your mate will be heartbroken," I told her.She nodded in understanding. "I believe you. I just hope it's not something that will put Antonio in a tight spot, though."I smiled at her as I reached for her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. If only she knew her mate's about to make the hardest decision ever."I should get going. It's almost dinner time, and there's no groceries at home," I said, checking the time on my phone."Alright." Anna tried to get up but fell back on the sofa with a soft thud. "I guess I can't walk you to the
Miranda's Point of View"You look happier than the last time you were here. What's the good news?" Anna asked."There's no good news," I replied.Anna raised her brows with the are-you-kidding-me? expression on."You can't tell me there's no good news when your joy is all over the place." She paused, giving me a knowing look. "Hmmm, I'm guessing this happiness has something to do with Vincenzo," she said.Knowing there was no point denying it, I nodded, blushing hard and suddenly becoming shy. "We made up today," I confessed."I knew it!" she exclaimed, her smile widening in pride for guessing right."Yeah. I thought about what you said, and you're right—I shouldn't let people's opinions influence my decisions and feelings," I said."Exactly!" She leaned forward with a teasing smile. "So... who apologized? You or him?""It's obviously me, since I was at fault, but he ended up apologizing too."Her brows furrowed slightly. "Huh? How did you manage to manipulate him into apologizing?""
Miranda's Point of ViewHe waited for me to speak, but I was too nervous to say any words. I didn't know how to start... No, I knew how to start, but I didn't know what to say first."Is everything alright?" he asked."Yeah..." I took a deep breath as I tried to gather up my courage.He nodded, setting his lips in thin lines. "Alright, then." Then he turned and continued his trip to our room."I've had enough!" I finally said.He was just a step away from our room when he stopped and turned back to face me."Enough of what?" he asked.I rolled my eyes. "Enough of... this... Whatever it is you're doing.""Huh?"I scoffed mentally. I couldn't believe he was acting dumb right now, as if he didn't know what I was talking about.Anyway, I took a deep breath and decided to apologize."Listen, I know you're mad at me because I said some hurtful things to you last week." I paused, studying his expression.His expression was unreadable as he simply nodded his head."I...""It's fine...""No, i
Miranda's point of viewIt was already nighttime when I returned from Anna's place. Vincenzo was in the living room typing on his phone, but the minute he saw me walk in, he got up and made to leave."Wait," I stopped him. "Aren't you going to stay and listen to what I found out at Anna's?" I asked.He didn't respond. He contemplated for a brief moment before sitting down and gestured for me to continue.I sat down and studied his expression for a while, wondering how long he's going to avoid me."So, I asked Anna a few questions, and I found out something suspicious. Doctor Rodriguez came from an unknown pack, and he was actually recommended to start working in the infirmary by the King's aunt.""The King's aunt?" A frown appeared on his face."Yes. And when the King wanted to run a background check on Doctor Rodriguez, his aunt convinced him that Doctor Rodriguez is clean.""Hm," he hummed thoughtfully. "That's interesting.""Yeah, I think the aunt might be up to something, and Doct
Miranda's Point of View"You said what?!" Anna exclaimed after listening to my explanation. "You were cruel with your words, girl.""Huh? Really?" I scrunched up my face, blinking guiltily."Of course. Those words would definitely hurt anyone. Even a person with an iron heart would be hurt," she said."I didn't mean to hurt him. I... I just didn't want to have sex with him while his brother and I are still legally together. If people find out about it, it won't just be seen as cheating on his brother alone, but my reputation would be tarnished. How can I be fit to lead the pack with him when the time comes? Will people still respect me after the scandal?" I asked, trying to make her see reason with me.Her mouth dropped open as she stared at me in disbelief. "How will they know? Are you or Vincenzo going to announce to everyone that you had sex already?""No, but—""Exactly! No one is going to know if you don't tell them. And besides, you're a grown adult. You shouldn't deny your feel
