"I look at you and I see the rest of my life in front of my eyes." Genevieve looked around at the spacious villa as she gazed at the beautiful horizon. After about eight hours of flight, they finally arrived.Alvaro encouraged her to catch some sleep by the third hour in the plane, but she couldn't since she was so excited. It was Alvaro who closed his eyes and drifted into sleep while holding her in his arms.Aside from the excitement, Genevieve also couldn't sleep because of Alvaro's arms around her. She felt so giddy and shy at the same time. She could only catch minutes of sleep but would wake up right away.She stayed in

"Your arms around me is all that I need to face anything that life throws at me." "Feeling okay?" Alvaro asked, his arms wrapped around his wife's waist, as they gazed along the beautiful blue horizon. They were on the yacht that he rented, a new one. He didn't want Evie to know, but he cut all ties with Astrid, except for the hotels and other businesses that they were partnered in.Respectfully, he told her that he wouldn't be needing a yacht anymore. Which is a lie. He figured that it would be better rather than Evie stepping foot on a yacht owned by Astrid. He didn't want to disrespect her feelings. He wanted to be considerate of his wife."I'm okay." Genevieve hummed as she leaned back, appreciating his warmth as a cold breeze caressed their skin.It was already Saturday, and they go back home tomorrow. In the five days that they spent in Spain; every moment was like a wonderful dream.They spent almost e

"Maybe home is nothing but two arms holding you tight when you're at your worst." "But do you think she has some ulterior motive, or anything?" Lucy asked as Genevieve gazed at her. They were under the shade of a tree in the barn, watching the animals moo and neigh at each other, seemingly playing.They were talking about Evie and Alvaro, as usual, but also the things that Evie observed whenever she was with Alvaro in the company building. Particularly Astrid.Evie was weirded out by the continuous stares and gazes from her. It's been weeks since it started. It wasn't a bad stare, not an angry glare either, but somethin

"Enemies are always closer than they seem. Remember that the wolf once dressed as a sheep." Genevieve blinked. She was taken aback by the question that left Astrid's lips. She really needed to get her eyes checked. She's always seeing things, here and there. It makes her wary of things that aren't there."Y-yes... he does." she answered in a quiet voice. She wasn't sure if she wanted to boast how kindhearted Alvaro is, or if she wanted to keep him to herself. She decided on the former. Unaware of the big mistake."He makes sure that I eat healthy and properl

"I'll be there, watching and waiting. Keeping to the shadows. But when you need me, I'll step out of the dark and protect what's mine." Knees bouncing, fingers endlessly tapping his table, lips almost bleeding from biting too hard. Alvaro's heart was beating so hard he could almost hear it. It felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.The papers given to him by Dario Espinosa were scattered at his desk. Pictures, places, certificates of birth, contracts. Everything was so overwhelming. But that wasn't what worried him so.It was his wife. Genevieve's well-being was on the line.
