I can still feel how tired we were yesterday at the water park.āMommy, Iām too lazy to get up but I want to play with daddy Alex.āI laughed a little at what Miracle told me.

Diana Rose POV-As a professional and as a woman, I did not sabotage Isabelleās make-up. I also did not hold back from doing her makeup since her makeup artist was not there. I still did everything I could to dominate her beauty even more.āWow, youāre superb at makeup, Diana. No wonderānevermind.āI think Isabelle was about to say in admiration of how I did my makeup during our senior high days.āIf only I knew I would see you on my wedding day, I would make you my bridesmaid. Iām still your friend, right?āHow could she ask that after she saw how I begged before because of her?āAbout that, little cute girl, Miracle, right?āāClose your eyes first.ā I ordered coldly.After I sprayed the settings spray it dried and it was done.āYou can go to the pictorial.ā I said.āDiana, is Alex the fatherāāāNo.ā I cut off her question.Miracle might hear and wonder why Isabelle asked that.āGood.ā Isabelle seemed to feel better. āShe looks five years old.

Diana Rose POV-THREE DAYS HAVE PASSED since Isabelle and I talked.I apologized to Isabelle for what happened to her because of what I did to her before, that she got involved in the hasty step I took.Isabelle, forgive me for what I did. She even thanked me because if she hadnāt been here in Europe, she wouldnāt have met the one he married.We even exchanged contact numbers. Also she made sure that she wonāt tell Alex that Iām here, even Andrew and Zennie assured me they wonāt tell Alex that Iām here because they donāt want to interfere.āMommy, I want that milk.āToday is our grocery day. Ronald should be with us when we go grocery shopping because it is also one of the three of us bonding.We actually set aside a day for this day, but Ronald had an emergency meeting, so he just drove us here.

Alex POV-I stopped reading the business proposal and looked at my secretary, who caught my attention.āWhat did you say, Erwan?ā I ask him while glaring at him.I noticed him swallowing and breathing deeply, a sign that he was nervous. He should be, because I didnāt like what he said.āI have to reschedule your flight this coming Friday and make it Saturday morning because you have an urgent meeting, sir.āāCancel that meeting or re-schedule that meeting. You know, going to Europe every Friday until Sunday morning is my only rest.āāBut sirāāI looked more closely at Erwan.āCopy sir. Cancel or reschedule the meeting. There should be no schedule from Friday to Sunday morning. I will go first, sir.āWhen Erwan came out, there was another person who entered. I didnāt even bother talking to Andrew.

*[FIVE YEARS AGO...]*......Alex POV-I waited for Diana to tell me her secret, too. I waited for her to trust me like how she trusted Andrew but it ended up that I did everything to make her feel I can do everything for her, that I can gamble everything for her until I gave her last chance at the white night holiday ball.As I expected that day, no other students went to the garden, so I carried out my plan. I decorated the garden with many lights, a table for two, foods that I often see her eating. Above all, I even bought fresh strawberries from Baguio, Philippines.When the night came I stayed here in the garden to wait for Diana but it didnāt take long, I went to the entrance and as I was going to the close gymnasium I saw Diana, her beauty was not the only thing that caught my attention if not as well as what she is holding. Thatās why when he went inside and no one was looking, I took what s
*[FIVE YEARS AGO...]*...Alex POV-Months ago, after the school camp, I heard the conversation between Andrewās parents and my parents about Andrewās engagement with Diana Rose Soleta. After hearing that, I rushed to my room to check if my suspicions were correct. My mind went blank for a moment and it occurred to me that Andrew could not marry Diana. I know the woman Andrew loves and if Andrew marries Diana, then Andrew will not love Diana. I am sure of this.I thought Diana should marry me. I love her. In my desperation, I did everything to get the arranged marriage transferred to me. I set up meet Dianaās father, to convince him to cancel the arranged marriage between Diana and Andrew. Mr. Soleta did not agree to my offer to transfer the arranged marriage to me. When I saw the face of Mr. Soleta already decided, I didnāt mean to tell the truth about Andrew. I convinced him to cancel the arranged marriage
Diana Rose POV-I want to hide my tears. I want to bring my tears back to my eyes but I canāt.āDiana, donāt cry anymore.ā Isabelle said to me.āI canāt help it.ā I said, still crying. āHold it as long as you canāno until we finish putting all the makeup on your face.ā All the makeup that will be used on you is waterproof, so once the makeup is done, you can cry and cry until your eyes will be swollen.āI was crying like crazy and laughed at Isabelleās words.āThis is what weāve all been waiting for. This is the day that will happen, so your beauty should dominate. So stop crying.āāButāāāNo buts, Diana. Will you stop or I will slap all the makeup in front of you?āI stopped crying and nodded before hitting all the makeup.THIS IS THE DAY.We waited one year and nine months before this special day, Alex and Iās wedding, will happen. The process took a long time after what happened before.Miracle was a bit traumatized by what had happened then, especially the loss of Ronald. Mirac
Diana Rose POV-āMiracle!āBefore I could run to Miracle, I saw Ronald was hugging Miracle to protect Miracle from the gun bullets.The rain of gunfire stopped at the same time as Ronald fell to the floor while bathing himself in blood.āRonald! Miracle!ā I was full of worry and shouted as I ran towards them.āMommy, Papa doesnāt want to get up!ā Miracle said, crying. āWeāre still going to eat, arenāt we?āAfter I made sure that there was not even a single shot of Miracle from the gun, I first shifted my other attention to Ronald.I gently tap Ronaldās face. āRonald, please open your eyes. Please.āI smiled when Ronaldās eyes slowly opened.āHow to stop the bomb in Miracleās body? Where is the remote to stop the time bomb in Miracleās body?āāDo you think that I can hurt my daughter?ā he said faintly.I stopped for a moment and shifted my gaze to Miracle who continued to cry because of Ronaldās condition.āNo,ā I looked back at Ronald. āI think I was scared.ā I also looked back at th
Diana Rose POV-We heard a police siren.āDammit, how did they track it down?āāRonald, please. Stop this.

Whether or not Alex likes it, itās still Alexās fault!āāBut, Ronald...āMy lips twitched when Ronald pointed a gun at me.āWill you keep quiet or will I fire the first bullet of this gun at Miracle?ā Then he pointed his gun at Miracle.I shook my head. āNo, please. I will shut up. If you want, I will go with you now, just donāt hurt Miracle. Please.āRonald punched my stomach twice, causing me to feel weak. I felt him loosen my handcuffs, but my stomach felt an unfamiliar pain.I want to fight this time, but my stomach is in so much pain that my whole body is almost numb.āLetās see who is more important t
Alex POV-Dammit.I miss Diana and Miracle so much. I shouldnāt have returned to New York, especially if I knew I would be stranded at the airport for two days because of the typhoon, and if I wasnāt required in that emergency meeting, I wouldnāt have come back without Diana and Miracle.āIām sorry, but could you please hurry?ā I said to Paulo, Isabelleās husband.I asked Paulo to pick me up because I know how fast he can drive. He is a doctor and once he drove an ambulance in which I was also riding and how he drove, he even beat the one in the race car.āIāve already maxed the speed limit, Alex. If I speed up, I might be over-speeding. This is not an ambulance.āHe is right.āOne more thing, calm down. I will have delivered you in less than thirty minutes.āāFine.āI tried to contact Dianaās phone number, but I still canāt contact her. When I landed here around seven in the evening
Diana Rose POV - While I was getting my jacket and my bag, I still tried to contact Ronaldās number but I couldnāt call his phone number even though I couldnāt count the number of times I tried to contact him. I couldnāt think of anything other than going to see Miracle right away. Thatās why after I got my bag and jacket, I left the house, just in time for a taxi to pass by, so I stopped it right away. I didnāt waste a single second and told the taxi driver the address that Ronald sent me. āMaāam, itās farther and then itās lateāā āI will pay any amount as long as you take me to this address.ā I beg in desperation. I understand why the taxi driver almost refused. Itās a bit late at night and maybe he still has something to go to but at this time Iām desperate and willing to give all the money I have just to go to Miracle right away. āYou look in
Diana Rose POV-After I finished meeting Ronald, he insisted on taking me to Isabelleās house. Ronald also told me that is why there was no one at the cafe where we met because he rented it for the entire day.āOh, my gosh, Diana Rose Soleta, we met!ā Isabelle shouted as I entered their house. āIāve been waiting for you. Why did you just visit me now?āThe weather was hot, so we just stayed inside their house.āBecause l met Ronald.āāI see. I understand.āLike Ronald, I just met Isabelle again and just now I could contact her.āI thought you forgot about me.āāSorry, if I just contacted you now. Iāve been busy these past few weeks.āāIām just kidding. I understand. Are you and Alex getting along?āāYes,ā I said with a smile. āOur family is complete now. Weāve been together these past weeks.āIsabelleās jaw dropped. In joyful surprise, Isabelleās jaw dropped, and then she hug

But every Friday night, Alex returns to New York and then returns Monday morning, but often when an emergency in the company he needs it, Alex is back in New York to take care of his work.Ā āMommy, when is daddy coming home?ā Miracle asked me as we were cooking breakfast.āTomorrow morning, baby.āāBy the way, do you want to go to school anymore?āāYes, mommy. I want to say goodbye to everyone.āāOkay, Iāll take you later. Then thatās the last time you attend that school.āAlex has taken care of all the documents for our departure back to New York. It is a good thing Miracle agreed to return to New York because she said she liked it because his grandparents and his favorite is Uncle Darryl.
Diana Rose POV-āYou two finally made up!ā Darryl said when Alex and I visited him in his hotel room. āIām sorry if I told Diana what I know.āāI think thatās fine.āāOf course!ā I said. āYou should have told me everything before.āāCalm down, Diana. Letās not bring up the past.ā Darryl said teasingly.āIāll just get Miracle and Iās stuff, then weāll move to Alexās houseāāāOur home, Diana. Thatās our home,ā Alex corrected me.Ā āOur home. Miracle and I are moving there.āāMoving house?ā Darryl asked in surprise.āYes, why?ā I ask.āThatās all youāre going to do? I mean, what do you plan to do now that youāve settled? Other than that, I think youāre going to tell Miracle the truth. What else do you plan to do?āAlex and I looked at each other at Darrylās question.āYou donāt have any other plans?ā Darryl asked, out of concern. āHey Alex, what are you up to?ā
Diana Rose POV-STRAWBERRY SCENT scented my sense of smell when my spirit woke up. At the same, time I felt a lot of pain in my, body especially in the lower part of it.For a few moments, I felt the edge of the bed I was lying on sink a little and I smelled strawberry scent even more.āGood morning, my SB.āThen I thought of opening my eyes after I heard Alexās voice.āGood morningāwhy are you naked in front of me?āAlex was wearing nothing but a white towel for his lower body while he was wiping his wet hair with a white small towel.āItās like you didnāt touch my whole body, you didnāt lick my manāāāStop it!ā I held my breath, cutting off the teasing Alex said to me.Every time I remember what I did last night with Alex, I feel like my whole body is burning with the shame of what I did. I didnāt mean it, I was just carried away by my emotions from what we were doing last night.
