Chapter 12
"Agatha is in the hospital. Someone beat her on her way home from university."
The first thought that crossed my mind when Ares shared Agatha's condition was, "How did he know?" But that thought swiftly disappeared as I arrived at the hospital with Elena. Even she was curious about how Ares found out so quickly and where he had come from.
But even as the girlfriend, I didn't have the answer. Furthermore, why would someone beat Agatha? From what I knew, she was one of the most feared and high-ranking students at her university. This was the first time such an incident had happened to her. Was she being bullied?
"Are you okay? You've been quite silent. What room is it?" Elena asked, but I was lost in my thoughts.

I couldn't comprehend what was happening, and I felt like I didn't belong in that moment.I bit my lower lip and fought back tears."I'm not selfish," I surrendered and quickly turned my back on them, leaving the room.

"Have you talked yet?" Elena asked me as soon as we got out of the building. I just looked at her and shook my head.After a short conversation earlier that ended in a misunderstanding, I never saw him again. I didn't even realize he had left his office. I tried calling him, but he wasn't answering.Then I also remembered that maybe that's why he didn't answer my call—he thought I was using Elena's cellphone. I still couldn't gather the courage to go home. Especially given today's situation."Didn't he say goodbye to you? I saw him leave earlier, seeming in a hurry," I heard Elena say again as we walked towards the parking lot.I just shrugged and quietly continued walking. Even the truth was bothering my mind. Before, the uneasiness would last only a few seconds e

"How are you? When do you plan to head home?" I inquired, and she responded with a smirk."I can head home today, Ana. Why not try apologizing to mom and going back to our place to get updated," she casually remarked.I nodded and brushed off her suggestion. Despite wanting to apologize and return home, my pride held me back, especially at this moment. It felt like they were against me, and I was at a loss about what to do."Where are you staying?" Ares asked me, chuckling as I looked at him."I thought you had no interest in asking that," I said bitterly, turning my gaze away. I noticed a frown forming on his forehead."I'm staying at Elena's place and came here to get my bruise checked. Just in case you're curious," I menti

"I'm planning to tell her right after our wedding, dad—""Marriage is sacred, son. Anastacia is part of our family now, especially you. You should include her in your decision-making," Donya Valentine said seriously, and I glanced at her. She offered me a small smile before averting her gaze, prompting me to look at Ares."Is there a problem, Ares?" I couldn't hold back my curiosity.When he looked at me, his forehead was already furrowed, and he seemed apologetic. Before he could answer, Don Damien spoke again."My son and I have an agreement, Ana. I will be transferring all my assets, including the Aragon Group of Companies, once he marries someone. That agreement has been long overdue, and I didn't expect that he would keep it."

"Ana, are you leaving?"I was almost startled when I heard that voice. I turned to find Lily, her hair still wet, standing there in front of me, a pleasant smile on her face as she continued to comb her hair."I'm sorry, Lily. I'm just going to head over to the Hacienda for a bit. I'll leave you with her for a while. Let me know if there's anything wrong," I explained, giving her a reassuring look before I left the room."It's alright. What about you? I'd love to go to the Hacienda too, but my mother would surely scold me. I saw Sir Anton and his business partners; they're all handsome!" She exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement, and she seemed to be giddy. I couldn't help but chuckle.As I made my way towards the bathroom to change my clothes, I could still hear Lily's animated commentary. When I came out, she was still at it, so I couldn't resist joining in."Did you see them? Do you know who they are?" I asked as I adjusted my attire.She rushed to the window and gazed out at

After I made that promise to myself, I had decided never to return to the city where so much pain and turmoil had taken place. I had no desire to revisit those memories. I needed a break from it all after what had transpired, to escape the anger, pain, and regret. And that was okay. It was okay to take a respite, to walk away and feel like nothing would change. Because, in reality, there was nothing left to return to.However, I couldn't fathom why I was still here. Despite years of running away, it seemed as though I couldn't escape completely.My heart was racing, and I felt an overwhelming mix of nervousness and fear sitting next to the man. I watched him from the corner of my eye, sensing his warm and heavy presence. His jaw tightened as he smoked a cigarette, and his gaze felt like it was piercing right through me. I quickly wrapped the towel Sir Anton had

But my perspective on life changed once more when I saw him at night, in a restaurant, and he wasn't alone. He was with Agatha, my sister. I watched them from outside.Ares had a genuine smile on his face, and his eyes sparkled with happiness, as if nothing had happened yesterday and this morning. My sister seemed equally joyful. I sighed as Ares took Agatha's hand and tenderly kissed it. I couldn't make sense of what was happening."Are you sure it was Agatha with Ares? Maybe you were just hallucinating," Elena said as she produced a bottle of beer in front of me. I looked at her, perplexed."What's this?""Drink up, dummy. I know you need it," she replied, taking a swig from her own bottle.Without hesitation, I accepted th
