The most challenging journey in your life is the journey to find yourself. ***** Back to the present time. Siena was sitting with a somber face in Adalfo’s private jet. Alfonso was on another seat, not far from across her seat. But she knew his piercing eyes kept glancing at her several times from the moment they sat, as if he was scrutinizing her. Her cellphone suddenly rang. “Hi, Damien….” “Siena, what are you doing?!” Damien sounded panic. “You can’t go to Dubai with Alfonso! He’s dangerous! I’m heading to the airport now! You must wait for me! Don’t leave without me!” he instructed. Siena glimpsed at Alfonso. He was looking back at her with a mischievous smile on his face. “Damien, I’m sorry. I can’t expla

A wide grin showed on Alfonso’s face. He really enjoyed having fun by mocking Siena. “It’s easy. Just follow whatever I want. As simple as that,” he spoke nonchalantly. “But what do you want? You can’t just order me to do whatever you like!” Siena growled. Alfonso leaned his body comfortably on the car seat, as the car driving them back to the city center. “Just start with accompanying me around the city of Dubai.” Alfonso was really serious with his words. He instructed their driver to drive them around the city center. As the day getting late, he demanded to visit a grand shopping center full of people. He strode in to a deluxe boutique with Siena tailing from behind. Just in the wink of an eye, a young girl who was the shop assistant served him passionately. “Thanks to you, I don’t even bring any clothes with me. Thus you must pay e

Unable to close her eyes, Siena was still turning back and forth restlessly in her bed long after she lay down. Her thoughts just kept on drifted back to everything happened today. At one point, she was really upset because Alfonso ‘kidnapped’ her, forcing her to come to Dubai with him, while she and Damien had prepared all their plans well. On the other side, she was also wondering why Alfonso was willing to help her at the night club. He even beat up the jerk harassing her. “Should I thank him?” she murmured. The next second, she shook her head. “Hell no! He was the one who kidnapped me to Dubai! He also forced me to go to the night club!” she grumbled. However she could not deny that she was amazed by Alfonso’s strength and skill. She was born and lived in Japan until she was ten. That was the time when her own grandfather taught her Aikido. She continued to practice the skill to defense herself a

  Siena stood in front of Alfonso, preventing him from approaching Carla. Alfonso's eyes were still flaming with anger when his gaze settled on Siena’s face. Though feeling a bit terrified, Siena forced herself to be brave facing this bad-tempered man.   “What did you say?” he asked.   “Let’s not create a scene here,” she pleaded.   “No, you said, you’ll go with me wherever I want to go?” Alfonso lifted his brow.   Swallowing nervously, she could not take back her words. “Yes, as long as you won’t do anything stupid. Don’t you want to go to Castell de Bellver?”   Alfonso seemed to ponder. “You’d better keep your word. Get in the car,” he instructed, but this time his voice softened.   Alfonso shot a stare at Carla for a while, but finally he stepped in the car. Letting out a sigh of relief, Siena smiled a faint smile to Carla, and then she got in

 Alfonso and Siena were staring at the huge sycamore tree in front of them. “Did you or Grandpa write the text?” she asked. Alfonso shook his head. “As far as I know, the text was already there since the first time I came here. Grandfather didn’t know who made it either. But he said the text was to remind every human being who tended to be proud.” “So why did you bring me here?” “Because you said something about digging the floor. I remember, Grandfather and I used to play digging and hiding something here, in the ground under this tree,” he stated. Siena's jaw fell open. “Why not? We must try! Maybe Grandpa hid a message down here!” she sounded excited. Alfonso turned his head around, looking for something. He took a big tree branch from the ground. Then he started to dig the grou
