Humigpit ang hawak ni Amara sa cellphone habang nakatingin sa live video.

Nandoon si Adrian.

Nasa loob siya ng lumang mansion, at may ilang armadong lalaki sa paligid niya.

Sa likod nito ay si Elena—ang babaeng sinabi ng lahat na hindi niya kilala.

Ang babaeng tinawag ni Victor na kanyang ina.

At higit sa lahat...

May baril na nakatutok kay Adrian.

"Adrian!"

Muntik nang tumakbo si Amara papunta sa mansion, pero mabilis siyang hinarangan ng lalaking nasa harapan niya.

"Don't."

"He's my husband!"

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNEXPECTED BRIDE   CHAPTER 40: Forever Was the Choice

    One year later...The sound of laughter filled the garden.The same garden where Adrian and Amara had exchanged their vows was now decorated with white flowers, soft lights, and dozens of small tables.But this time, there was no wedding ceremony.No contracts.No family secrets.No threats.Just celebration.Amara stood near the garden entrance, watching everyone enjoy the evening."You're staring again."She turned around.Adrian was standing behind her, holding two glasses of juice."I wasn't staring.""You were.""I was looking.""At me?""Maybe."He smiled."Still beautiful."Amara rolled her eyes."One year married and you're still like this.""Like what?""Cheesy.""I'm your husband. I'm allowed."She laughed as she accepted the glass."How did you know I wanted juice?""Because I know you.""And if I wanted champagne?""I'd give you juice."She laughed."You're impossible.""And you married me anyway.""Unfortunately.""Fortunately."They both laughed.It had been one year sin

    Three months later...Tahimik na ang buhay ni Adrian.Wala nang security teams na sumusunod sa kanya.Wala nang mysterious phone calls.Wala nang mga taong naghahanap ng Aurelia.At higit sa lahat, wala nang Richard na palaging nagbabanta sa kanilang buhay.For the first time in years, nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataong mamuhay nang hindi kinakailangang tumingin sa likod.Pero may isang bagay na hindi nagbago.Si Amara.Nakatayo siya ngayon sa balcony ng kanilang bagong bahay, hawak ang isang tasa ng kape habang pinagmamasdan ang sunrise."You're awake early."Napalingon siya.Nakatayo si Adrian sa doorway, naka-white shirt at pajama pants, magulo ang buhok.Napangiti si Amara."Good morning."Lumapit siya at niyakap ito mula sa likod."Good morning, future Mrs. Valencia."Napatawa si Amara."Future?""Yes.""Akala ko ba engaged na tayo?""We are.""So?""So I like calling you that.""You're becoming cheesy.""Only around you."Napailing si Amara habang nakangiti."You've changed.""I kno

    The next morning...Tahimik ang Valencia Estate.Mula sa labas, mukha itong isang ordinaryong lumang mansion—malaki, elegante, ngunit bakante at tila matagal nang walang nakatira.Pero para kay Amara, iba ang pakiramdam ng lugar.Parang may mga alaala rito na hindi niya maalala.Parang may bahagi ng kanyang pagkatao na matagal nang nakatago sa loob ng mga pader nito.Nakatayo siya sa tabi ng sasakyan habang nakatingin sa malaking entrance."Are you ready?"Tanong ni Adrian.Huminga siya nang malalim."No."Napangiti siya nang bahagya."Good. Neither am I."Napatingin siya sa kanya."You always know what to say.""Not always."Lumapit si Adrian at inayos ang buhok niya na hinahangin."But I'm trying."Nagtagpo ang kanilang mga mata.Sa kabila ng lahat ng problema, may kakaibang peace sa pagitan nila."Whatever happens inside," sabi ni Adrian, "don't face it alone."Tumango si Amara."I won't."Kasama nila sina Liana, Daniel, Liam, at Isabella.Si Edward naman ay naiwan sa Monteverde Ma

    Tahimik ang buong chamber.Nakatitig si Adrian sa screen kung saan ilang segundo lamang ang nakalipas ay narinig nila ang boses ni Edward Monteverde.“My son… it’s time you learned who really betrayed your family.”Walang gumagalaw.Walang nagsasalita.Hanggang sa si Amara ang unang lumapit kay Adrian."Are you okay?"Hindi agad siya sumagot.Parang hindi pa kayang tanggapin ng isip niya ang lahat.His father.His family.Aurelia.Richard.Victoria.And now Edward.Lahat ng bagay na akala niya ay alam niya tungkol sa kanyang pamilya ay unti-unting nagiging isang malaking kasinungalingan."I don't know anymore."Mahina ang boses ni Adrian."I don't know who to trust."Hinawakan ni Amara ang kamay niya."Then trust me."Napatingin siya rito."I don't have all the answers either."Ngumiti siya nang bahagya."But I'm here."Huminga nang malalim si Adrian.At sa unang pagkakataon sa buong gabing iyon, parang gumaan kahit kaunti ang pakiramdam niya."That's enough."Lumapit si Liam sa compu
