—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—

We arrived in front of the DH Hospital and many reporters were flocking outside. They’re waiting for a scoop to come out. I was about to go outside the car but Archi held my arm to stop me.

“Let’s take the other entrance. Those reporters will just block you,” he said, looking at the people outside.

We took the entrance he was pertaining to and I got into the hospital easily. I ran towards the operating room and Archi followed me behind. The place was surrounded by our personal guards and other policemen. One of them halted us but when they recognized me, they let us enter the hallway.

I saw mom sitting and waiting outside, and my eyes went down to her beautiful dress covered with—probably dad’s blood.

“Mom!” I went to her and she reached for me. I hugged her tight.

“Alora…” she cried on my shoulders.

“We just… we just left the charity event when some armed men… a-ambushed us. Your dad—” Mom couldn’t continue because of the heavy emotions she’s carrying as of the

    —ALORA EUNICE’S POV—“Ah! Oh my gosh!” I threw the box somewhere and almost fell when I bumped my back at the edge of my office table but Evan quickly caught me.The foul smell of the dead rat inside the box reached my nose and I couldn’t help but feel nauseous and ran towards my private comfort room to vomit.“Alora…” I felt Evan’s hand holding my hair while I was still vomiting in the toilet bowl. After that incident, I felt that it absorbed my strength for the day and I just chose to leave the office and rest. On our way, I received a call from the helper at home. There’s a delivery which was addressed to me and needed immediate attention. I was thinking that it was the same as the one I received in the office and I wasn’t wrong.“Who the heck was behind that?” Evan asked while driving me home but I insisted on staying in a hotel nearby. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to go somewhere that the sender wouldn’t reach me today. “Does this frequently happen?”I shook my head as a resp

    —ALORA EUNICE’S POV—Rome De Herrera’s Wife Seen Near Hospital Baby Ward, Sparking Adoption RumorsMy phone almost slipped from my hand the moment I read the article. What kind of rumor is this? They are questioning Archi’s reproductive health. Geez.One of them questioned mine. Spreading that I am barren that’s why I’m here at the hospital, allegedly and secretly adopting a baby. Gosh… these people and their love of gossip. My phone rang and I gulped before hitting the answer button and put the phone on my ear.[“What’s going on, Alora Eunice?”] Grandpa asked in a scary tone. “I…” I couldn’t form a sentence as if something was blocking the words in my throat.[“We need to talk. Come here to the mansion with your husband.”]I looked at the screen of my phone when Grandpa ended the call without hearing me out. I heavily sighed and looked at the little boy, quietly lying on his bassinet. “Thank you for being born healthy. Sorry for coming out sooner. It’s my fault,” I said as if the

    —ALORA EUNICE’S POV—““What the hell is a kid doing in my company?!”“Mia!” I walked towards her and reached her as she ran to me. I lifted her and comforted her. “I’m here. It’s okay. I’m here… calm down, Mia. I’m here. It’s okay. I’m here.” I was caressing her small back while her little arms were wrapped around my neck. Everyone was silently watching me, and I felt a little uncomfortable with the situation, especially that Mia isn’t calming down. She’s trembling. She’s scared. Poor little one. I felt Archi’s gaze on me but I didn’t met his eyes for a reason. I know I said I will take responsibility but this is not what I mean. But yeah… I will face him later. After a few moments, she calmed down. Finally! Thank goodness. “I… I’m sorry for the trouble. She’s with me.” I said because I wasted their time. They all waited until the kid calmed down because Archi is so scary and no one can move and interrupt him.The businessmen and businesswomen cleared their throats before going f

    —ALORA EUNICE’S POV—I was smiling from ear to ear as I am preparing for work today. I lacked sleep due to the workload that I finished last night but with the thought that Archi and I made up and on good terms again, I was too energized to feel exhausted.I wore the necklace he gave me last night and smiled at the vanity mirror—scanning my overall look before grabbing my hand bag. Archi went to work earlier because he has an early morning meeting with the board. On the other hand, I’m still at home—ready to go to the office.On my way to Escarra Furniture, I almost hit someone. Thank goodness, my quick reflexes are in good condition. I immediately removed my seatbelt and went outside to check on the person in front.“Oh my God! Are you alright?” I was too nervous because she was a pregnant woman with a little girl. I helped her stand and checked on her. Actually, I didn't bump into her thankfully but maybe due to shock, she went out of balance.“I… We… apologize, miss.” The pregnant

    —ALORA EUNICE’S POV— “Do you love me?” I asked, facing him with hope in me that he’ll answer. I waited for him but he looked at me with something in his eyes I couldn’t explain. I felt a little sting in my heart as he looked at me so nonchalantly. “Forget it. I’m… I’m tired. I’ll rest.” I turned around and proceeded to go upstairs. He didn’t stop me. He didn’t say anything. He just… let me go. A week passed by so swiftly and just like that, we went on with our busy lives—nonstop and hectic schedules. I felt a little distance between us after that day but I’m afraid to confront him again. This is my fault… I shouldn't have asked him that. He would say it if he wanted to, right? Why did I ask? I don’t know. Maybe… the ‘first love’ thing triggered me but not enough for us to end up like this. “Have you read the proposal we sent to your company?” Archi asked in the middle of our dinner. For the first time in a while, we dined together and talked. “Ah, yeah. I’ll go to your compa

    —ALORA EUNICE’S POV— “I miss you, Archi!” Avery said, still hugging Archi—my husband. “Avery, let him go,” Ava pulled the lady away from Archi who's struggling to remove Avery’s arms wrapped around him. It took a few seconds before Archi was free from the lady. I stood in between them and confidently looked at her, trying to set a blank face. “Archi—” “Hi, may I know you?” I suddenly asked, blocking her way to my man. She’s too disrespectful or maybe she just doesn't know who I am. “I…” she stood taller than me but I didn’t budge. “I’m Avery Miranda, Archi’s first love. And you are?” “I’m—” “Oh, his secretary, probably.” She covered her mouth, as if mocking me. “Avery, stop it.” Mrs. Ava pulled Avery to step away from me. “I’m Alora Eunice Escarra De Herrera, Archi’s one and only wife.” I slightly raised my brow and stopped myself from smirking at her because it triggered her ego, I guess. “So? Doesn’t mean Archi loves you.” “Oh, dear,” I smiled at her before snaking my
