THIRD POV
“Don Martin has arrived!”“Respect for Don Martin!”“Don Martin, the patient is awake.”Martin stopped in front of Doctor Aragon.“How is she?” he asked, glancing at the woman in the bed.“As you can see, Don Martin, after five years, the patient has woken up. But she hasn't spoken. She seems stunned, as if there's no life in her. It’s because of the severe trauma she experienced,” the doctor explained to Martin.He nodded and returned his gaze to the woman, who remained in a state of shock. “Alright, let me handle her. You can leave now.”The doctor nodded and bowed before leaving.Martin looked around before entering the room and closing the door. Then he faced her. “That’s enough,” he said to the woman, who immediately turned to face him.“How long will I be here, Martin?” she asked. “I need to get out of here because Mateo needs me.”He gave her a serious look before sighing. “You can leave. But for now, you need to pretend because we still don’t know who is trying to kill you.” He walked closer to the window, looking out at the people in the garden and taking in some fresh air.He was silent for a moment, his hands behind him. “Don’t you remember anything?” he asked after a while.The woman shook her head, sadness in her eyes. “Mateo is looking for me. I must see my husband.”Martin turned to face her, irritated. “Do you remember anything before the accident?”“No! Why? Are you doubting me?” she asked. “I told you I remember nothing!”He sighed, remembering what had happened three years ago. Martin had been the first to notice when the woman seemed to wake up from her comatose state, so he had planned to keep her in the hospital to ensure her safety.When she woke up, she immediately mentioned her husband's name and seemed to have no recollection of what had happened before the incident.“I want to get out of here, Martin. I don’t want to stay in the hospital,” she begged.Martin shook his head. “You can’t leave until you remember something,” Martin said, causing her eyes to widen.“W-what? Martin! It’s hard to remember!” she exclaimed.He looked at the woman, who suddenly fell silent. “You have nothing to look back on.”She paused, looking at him with confusion. She frowned and said, “W-what, are you talking about? He is my husband. I’m going back to him!”He sighed and sat in front of her. “You are not his wife; the paper you both signed is not legal, so your marriage is void,” Martin explained, surprising her even more.“N-no!” She shook her head, unable to believe what she had heard. “That’s not true! You’re lying!” she shouted at Martin.“While you were unconscious, I investigated Mateo Villalobos and discovered that your marriage was fake. And he is now happily married to model Chloe Cain.”Her eyes widened at the shocking news. Tears suddenly fell from her eyes. “I-I don’t believe you!” she said, throwing her pillow at him. “You’re lying!” she cried. Martin approached her and tried to hug her, but she struggled. “You’re lying! You’re lying.” she yelled as she punched his chest.He clenched his fist before taking out an injection and quickly injecting it into her neck. She immediately lost consciousness in his arms.He wiped her tears away as he laid her back down on the bed.“Just be patient, and you’ll get out of here soon. And we will destroy the people who hurt you,” Martin said, gently stroking the woman's hair and staring at her face. “We will make them pay for everything they did to you, Ana. And I promise, no one will hurt you again,” he added, kissing her on the forehead.He stood up, adjusting her pillow. He hid the injection in his pocket and exited the room.Martin walked out of the hospital, followed by his staff. When they reached the parking lot, his bodyguard immediately opened the backseat door of his car.“Let's go,” he said, looking out the window. His driver nodded and started the car’s engine, driving away from the hospital. Suddenly, he remembered something. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and called someone.“President!” someone answered his call on the other line.“Call Villalobos Enterprise’s CEO and tell them I need to see him.”“Yes, sir.”He hung up the phone and looked at his staff. “What did you find out about the case? Do you have any information?” he asked.One of his employees pulled out a folder and placed it in front of him.“Someone tampered with the brakes of her car, causing the accident,” his staff informed him politely.He nodded.“Keep seeking evidence and information. Continue the investigation without anyone knowing,” he said.His staff nodded in response.“Alexis, let’s go to the Royale,” he said to his driver, who nodded and took him to the Royale, where many business executives were gambling.Martin smiled as he returned to the Royale and saw that his important guest was there.ANA’s POV“Is she dead, Aunt?”“Of course! My men removed the brakes of her car. So, I’m sure she won’t be a problem with our plans. And you, Chloe, darling, are my son's new wife-to-be.”“I love it, Auntie,” Chloe said. “I’ve been sick of pretending to be nice to her for a long time!”Who are you? Where am I?“Master, there is a woman!”“What?!”“She looks exactly like the woman in the painting!”“Oh, take her!”What is Martin doing here? What happened to me?“The patient is currently in a coma, Don Martin. She was severely injured when she fell off the cliff. We’ll have to wait for her to regain consciousness.”“Damn it, do whatever it takes to keep her alive!”“Yes, Don Martin.”Is my life over?“You can’t die, Ana! You will take revenge on those who hurt you, and you haven’t even discovered the secret of your true identity.”I sat down, holding my chest. What is this? Is it a nightmare? But why does it feel so real?I shook my head. I don’t remember how I ended up in this situation. Why am I in the hospital, and why hasn’t my husband visited me?W-wait… I remember what Martin said.No! That’s not true! He was lying. Mateo and I are truly married. I remember signing a marriage contract, so I know it’s not fake.Right! Martin was just deceiving me.When I heard footsteps approaching my room, I adjusted my position and pretended to still be unconscious.Others can’t know that I woke up a long time ago from my coma. Martin might get angry with me if I confront him, and he might not let me leave the hospital.“Is she still unconscious?”“Yes. I feel sorry for her.”“True,” the woman replied. “I also heard that the information about her being in a coma for five years is confidential.”“Yes, that’s what I know. Only the doctor and us can enter this room to take care of her,”“What happened to her?” the nurse asked curiously.“Shhh! Don’t ask. Even though she's unconscious, she can still hear us. Don Martin might find out that we're talking about the patient. We might lose our jobs.”“I'm just curious!”“Me too. But we’re just here to work, so let’s not interfere in their lives.”I heard the two nurses talking. Later, they helped me to the bathroom for a shower.After bathing me, they helped me back to bed, dressing me and combing and drying my hair.“She’s gorgeous. Her beauty is enviable.”“Absolutely. She’s even prettier than that model… what’s her name again?”“Chloe Cain,” the woman said. “I don’t like her.”Chloe? I know her. She’s my best friend, and I know she wouldn’t betray me. I’m sure she couldn’t have done what Martin accused her of, marrying my husband. I know what Martin told me is not true because I know Chloe. She can’t betray me.“Okay, we’re done here! Please get some rest, Miss Ana,” the nurse smiled, helping me lie back down on the bed.“Let’s go eat! Our shift is over!”“Let’s go!”I heard them walk towards the door. Before they finally left, they turned off the light and closed the door completely.I waited a few more minutes to ensure they were gone and no one entered the room.After a while, I took a deep breath and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. I put on the slippers that Martin had left here. Before getting up and walking around the room, I sighed again.I’m bored, and I want to breathe some fresh air. I paused for a moment, smiling as I thought about what I wanted to do.I’ll go see Mateo!Yes! I’ll go tell my husband that I’m still alive.I took Martin’s bag and searched for a jacket and some money. I can’t wait to see my husband.Mateo, wait for me.THIRD POV“Mateo, please wait for me!”“Mateo!”“Huh?” He abruptly turned around upon hearing his name being called.Suddenly, he remembered that he was in a bar with his friends. He scanned the room, trying to regain his senses, which were tingling slightly.“We’ve been calling you for a while, but you seemed lost!”“Are you sure you’re okay?”He took a deep breath, nodded, and ran his hand through his hair. He was confused about what was happening. Earlier, he had also heard his ex-wife's voice. He didn’t understand what was going on, but he knew he had been dreaming about her for several nights. He couldn’t tell if it was just a vision or a memory.Even now, he regretted the mistakes he had made in the past. One single mistake had cost him his wife.If he were to ask for forgiveness from his wife, it would only be to atone for his sins.“Ana, I’m sorry,” he whispered.DON MARTIN was greeted by many business executives upon his arrival at the Royale. After many years, he was back in
“THERE SHE IS!”Martin’s attention was immediately drawn to the front of the car, where he saw Ana sitting on the pavement in the pouring rain. He frowned and quickly instructed his driver to stop the car.As soon as the car came to a halt on the side of the road, Martin wasted no time in getting out of the back seat. Ignoring the heavy rain, he hurriedly walked towards Ana and embraced her tightly, planting a kiss on her forehead.“Take me home, Martin!”“Of course, let's go home.”He lifted Ana off the ground and carried her back to the car.“Let’s get going.”“Are we heading back to the hospital, Master?”Martin shook his head and looked down at the woman in his arms. “No, we’re going to San Alfonso.”CHLOE’s POV“Why are you so drunk?” I asked my husband, but received no response. He simply stared blankly into the air. Irritation washed over me as a result. I let out a deep sigh. It had been five years since Ana's death, yet Mateo's behavior had remained the same ever since he fo
“M-Martin!”“Yeah?”“Ahhh! Faster, Martin!” she begged.Martin smiled mischievously and granted Chloe's request. He moved on top of her and increased the pace of his movements. Oh, damn! Compared to the other women he had one-night stands with before, Chloe was dull.He would not have invited her to join him at that hotel if it wasn't for his plan.Before formulating his plan, he delved into Chloe Cain's background and discovered that she had cheated on Mateo. He also found out that Chloe frequently went to clubs and was involved with other men. Additionally, he learned that Ana had become friends with Chloe because Chloe was interested in Mateo.Martin grabbed Chloe's hair and forced her to look up at him, only to be met with her annoying face.“You like me, don't you?” he asked as he continued his quick movements from behind her. “You can't resist me,” Martin said, grinning.Chloe nodded. “Fuck, Martin! Harder, please!”Martin grinned again and pulled her hair even harder. “If that'
THIRD POV“Sir! There’s a woman causing trouble outside!” said his secretary as he walked into his office.Martin stopped and smirked. He faced his secretary, who was waiting for his order.“Sir, may I allow her?”He nodded to his secretary, who bowed before leaving his office. The woman who was causing trouble outside rushed into his office.“Martin!”“What do you want—” He didn’t finish what he was saying when the business proposal that he didn't want to sign was thrown at him.“What does this mean? Why haven’t you signed yet? This is not what we’re talking about!” Chloe shouted at him. When she woke up in a hotel, there was no Martin in the room and no signature from him on a deal they had.“I didn’t say that I would also sign Mrs. Villalobos,” said Martin, which angered the woman even more.Chloe approaches the table and slaps it because of the annoyance that the man has broken his promise.“I agree with what you want just because of our agreement, Martin!” Chloe clenched her fist
ANA’s POV.“Ana, don’t you want to get out of here and get some fresh air?”When I saw Paris standing at the door of my room, I smiled at her.I’m uncertain how long I’ve been here at the hacienda since I found out the truth about our relationship.Since then, I’ve just locked myself in my room and haven’t talked to anyone except Paris and Martin. That’s why I feel like I’m becoming a burden to them, and they could not enjoy their honeymoon.I sighed and smiled at Paris. “I apologize for becoming a burden to you and Martin. Because of me, you can't have a honeymoon.” I said. I’m already ashamed of her for bothering them.I know her. Martin introduced her to me, but I had a feeling they were a couple because of their closeness. It’s embarrassing that I'm still an impediment to both of them.Because of what I said, Paris frowned. “Huh? Martin and I are not married and I’m her friend!” my eyes widened as she spoke, and I covered my mouth because of my nonsense.Paris laughed because she
ANA’s POVWhat information do I have about what happened to me? Wasn’t it just an accident?I just walked around my room, holding my head. And I was confused as well, if I can believe everything they say. And what kind of revenge is Martin referring to? Who will we exact our revenge on?I bit my nails to remember the image that came to my mind. I just stopped thinking when I felt someone enter my room.“Ana.” I sighed and turned to face Martin, who gave me a tired smile. “Are you sure... you’re okay?” asked Martin, as he approached where I was standing. I turned away from him and went to the terrace to look at the Monticello land.I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. “Will you tell me the truth when I say I’m fine?” I felt he was stunned because he didn't respond, so I smiled and said, “You’re still not going to tell, aren’t you? You’re just waiting for me to remember.”How many times have I considered everything Martin said? Many images come to mind, and I'm uncertain if they
THIRD POVAna was taken to another country for proper treatment after what happened to her.Martin did everything he could to help the woman recover, even though she no longer remembers everything, as long as she recovers.It’s been a month, but the girl hasn’t woken up, so Martin has had to divide his time between Ana and his work. He also couldn’t leave his position because so many people relied on him. Martin also monitors the Villalobos family to ensure that no one loses sight of his plan. He also needs to be patience and wait for Ana to wake up.Martin also met Cole’s friend Reese, who helped him in treating the girl.When he had a meeting, he has his staff monitor Ana and notify him of the woman’s condition. Two months have passed, but the woman’s condition is not yet good.“It’s been two months, Reese; why is Ana still unconscious?”Doc Reese exhaled a sigh. “It’s difficult to get amnesia, Don Martin,” said Doc Reese. “Her memories are still hidden because the patient may not w
ANA’s POV( A/n: It's like she went back to the past where she had an accident.) ***“Oh, Ana!”I turned to face the person who had called my name. “J-Jane?” My eyes widened, and I stood up. What is she doing here?“What’s wrong with you?” asked Jane, touching my covered in sweat head. “You’ve been moaning there for a while; are you dreaming?” I couldn't respond because I was still confused by what was going on.“It’s late, friend. We’re the only ones here. You’re not working overtime,” she said with a frown. I looked at her and took her hand. She was taken aback by what I did.“W-what date is today?” I asked, and she frowned, as if she wondered what was wrong with me.She laughed when she realized I was serious about my question. “Today is November 24! Let’s go home, it's late! I’ve been waking you up for a while now!” said Jane, taking her bag.I was stunned, and when I looked at my desk to check my calendar, I noticed that today is November 24, 2011, not 2016. Is this a dream? Is t
