Aviena's POV
“Ma’am, Ms. Atasha's already here. She's already waiting for you outside,” one of the housemaids said to me. I nodded before going down.
"Good morning, Atasha!" I greeted her before kissing her cheeks.
"How are you?" she asked me so I smiled.
"I think I'm doing fine?" I asked and answered her. My life feels the same. The only difference now is the people around me. I can't act normal like when I'm in my condo like I don't have to pretend anymore. It's not comfortable even in the bedroom here. I can't even wear my favorite shirts.
Aviena's POV "Continue," he said in a cold voice. What is he doing here? I know that it was his brand but he never really shows in a photoshoot. Our eyes met so some staff looked back and forth at the two of us. I just shook my head before facing Tom who tightened his grip on me even more. “Is he here for you?” he asked me so I laughed. That's impossible. He doesn't even go home. How can he still come here just to visit me? And we're not at that level to go to each other. If it weren't for the contract we're not going to see each other. I can still feel River looking at me but the shoot is already starting so I just stopped myself from looking back at him. There's also no rule in the contract that we should talk with each other. Tom brought his face close to mine to talk to me while my eyes were on the camera. I'm very used to Tom because we've been friends for a long time. The two of us are used to this system. The scenarios are often even more intimidating. I'm also comfortable
Aviena's POV "Huh?" My mouth fell open. “I’ll wait for you here. We'll buy your gown. You're invited on my Auntie's birthday. ” My jaw dropped even more as I looked at him. “Huh? I was invited to a party and you just informed me right now? ” I couldn't believe I looked at him so he frowned at me. "They just told me earlier," he said so my brain just kept on overthinking. I don't even know if I can attend that party. It's embarrassing to show up all of a sudden. "They're already calling you," he said pointing to my Big Sister who was already waiting for me. Even when the shoot for the first scene of my teleserye started, I wasn't being myself because I was thinking about getting to know his family. Their family is known as the sophisticated family. They're kind of elegant. I can mix with them but of course, it's still different when you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Everyone was confused when they saw River heading towards us. Even though Direk was serious about the
Aviena's POV I just raised an eyebrow at River when his eyes landed on me. I just looked back at the fiance as well. Why am I even glancing at River? Why? Do I expect him to propose to me like that when the thing is we're just both playing? Before Sert's father could kiss his mother, Sert's loud cries were heard. He was crying so much that his parents were immediately confused. His mother picked him up immediately. “Why are you crying, Sert? Don’t you want Mommy and Daddy to marry each other?” his mother asked him. "I thought we already talked about this, Sertio?" his Daddy asked looking nervous now. Based on his face, he was anxious about what his son would say. "You don't want us to live together, Baby?" the woman calmly asked him as if he wanted to understand the child. Sert shook his head. The woman turned to her fiance before slowly smiling sadly and was about to remove the ring when Sert shook his head again. “It’s not like that, Mommy! It's just Tito River married the gir
Aviena's POV "How long is your business trip?" I asked River when he was in front of me. He didn't even tell me he had a business trip. He suddenly left without saying goodbye. They even said he took Marissa to New York. "Isn't it a basic decency to inform me?" I asked him while combing my hair. He was busy typing with his laptop. He just came home but he's already busy with his work. They said he went abroad for work but now that he looks like he has a pile of work, I can't believe it. "We said that there's no asking about whereabouts," he said with his eyes still on the laptop. I can't help but frown there. “I'm not asking about your whereabouts, whatever else you do in New York is okay. But still inform me where you at so that if anyone asks, I know. ” I could see the irritation on his face because of what I said. He seems angry at me for being talkative now. It's just that I don't know how to answer people when they're asking me especially now that I'm so busy because of his g
Aviena's POVWait. What? Did he just say the contract to someone else? I thought this was confidential. Wow.I turned to River who was also looking at me now. He seems to be watching my reaction."You know what we have?" I asked as the friendly smile also remained even though it was awkward for me. I hate River for not even telling me about this. They seem good together. Marissa was also looking at me with a smile on her face.“Yes. River told me. ” I just smiled back too because I didn’t know what to say. I just introduced myself to her.“Aviena. River's wife for a while. ” I acted nice even though I was actually surprised by the sudden visit of the person River wanted.She doesn't seem to be able to break dishes. No wonder people think that River and Marissa look good together because they do.I even saw Marissa holding him before whispering. I hear the gossip of our housemates watching us. They immediately averted their gaze when I met their eyes. I just smiled.“Is it really fine
Aviena's POVI'm done getting ready to go outside for the meeting with the wedding planner."We're going to meet the wedding planner today, Big Sister," I said from the other line because Big Sister keeps on asking.“Alright. Just let me know. Won't you even invite me there to your house?" she asked me. Recently, Big Sister keep on asking me to invite her to come here to River's mansion but I couldn't tell River yet. He was often busy at work and we were irritated with each other.“Yes, Big Sis. I'll invite you when I have already talked with River. ” She didn't say anything as if he was no longer happy with me. As I said, it's really only a month for her to be kind. Look at her pestering me now. After we talked, I went down. I thought Veron will be the one coming with me because she's the one I've been with these past few days but my lips parted when River was waiting for me outside. We were in the same room but he couldn't even tell me. Anyway, he doesn't even sleep there. I'm sure
Aviena's POVI stopped what I was doing when I saw him frown as he looked at me. His face also shouts madness. I can't help but frown at him as well.“I’m asking what are you doing? Maids keep on coming here to call you. We are waiting for you in the dining, ” he said with anger in his voice. He also just kept his eyes on the bags that were full of clothes now. It is some stuff I bought for the kids that I still haven’t given away until now.“I also told you that I’m not going to eat. And while you are here, I want to say goodbye to you. I think I'll stay at my sister's place for a while. ” He just kept his cold gaze on my suitcase before giving his full attention to me.“Why? Is it becau— ” I immediately cut him off because I felt like I had an idea about it.“No. My sister needed me. She's been crying earlier. I just want to visit her. I think spending time there won't really hurt, right? You probably won't lock me up here. This is the only time I wanted to go home. You don't have t
Aviena's POVSilence enveloped the two of us which he also immediately broke because I did not speak. I was still surprised by his sudden call.“My family will go here. My grandfather will probably go to ask about you,” he said so I just smiled to myself. Right. What do I even expect? Do I really expect him to wait for me? That he will call me because he misses me even though his beloved Marissa is there."Alright… I'll go…" I said and didn't wait for him to say anything, I immediately turned off the call. I don't want to expect from him anymore.What did they even do? They probably spend their luxury time together. I haven't heard on television that his girlfriend is different or anything so I don't think he did anything to tarnish my name. I’m just pretty sure he did something. I just smiled at the thought before shaking my head.I don’t have to care about that anymore."Who's that, Big Sister?" Marieta asked me when I returned to the table.“Hmm, I think I need to go back to Manila
