I slowly opened my eyes to see the white ceiling and a dextrose connected to my body. Good Lord,not again. Unlike those from telenovelas, their memories are blurry but mine is as clear as day. I shook my head in disbelief. "Hah... Raphael!" I shouted without scanning the room. "Raphael!""You just opened your eyes and the first person you are looking for is me?" he asked with a smirk plastered on his face. The first time I met him, I didn't know that he was even capable of smiling. Now, he is doing that like it was the most natural thing to do!"Oh, you're here?" I asked and raised my eyebrows."Don't smile at me like you didn't do anything wrong, assh*le!" I shouted at him and tried to stand up when the door suddenly opened and it was my parents."Diana, don't get up yet! Your body is not yet stable!" she said and pushed me down, "They also told me that the baby is in critical condition.""What baby?!" I asked hysterically, "Mom, that's not true---" I was cut off abruptly and I felt

"Raphael?" I was confused when I see him. He looks so gorgeous and looked at Mikhael who is crying his heart out in front of me. I didn't know where he got the audacity to do this, when he's the one who cheated!"Let's go," he said and grabbed my arm that makes me taken a back but I couldn't refuse, so the end I was dragged down in the hallway. He just kept walking until Mikhael kept us."Stop right there!" Mikhael run after us, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!""Fuck off." Raphael stopped when he touched his shoulder. I can feel the fleeting anger and how much temper he is keeping to himself right now."What?" Mikhael was surprised. He probably didn't expect someone would say that to him."Don't fucking touch me!" he said and stepped back, Raphael's eyes are wild, filled with anger and intimidation."You---!" and was about to punch Raphael when I couldn't stay still/"Stop it, Mikhael!" I had go infront of Raphael and Mickael. I'm so stressed between the two of them."Why a

"Of course, we need to live together," he smirked at Diana who feels like her cheeks has been flushed up."Y-You're kidding right?" Diana asked, stuttering, "I have my own life, my own villa! You saw it with your own eyes as you've stayed there already!""I know, but what are you so worried about?" he asked and closing the gap between them until they find the end, no longer space for her to move. Raphael placed his hand on both side of her, locking her in between of his arms."Because why would I trust a man like you!" she grunted, "Just because I agreed to that contract, doesn't mean that I have to act like a real wife , right?" she asked but that made Raphael stopped and tocuhed her lips."You're too unreal. Sometimes I'm thinking that you aren't real at all." he said and brushed his hands against her lips, "Hmmn...""Don't...!" she was about to refused when she wasn't able to do anything when he had kissed her lips. So tender and soft, like she was floating in the sky.The room is

It's been a week since Raphael had left for another business trip. Diana realized that he was rarely home."Will you come, madam?" the head maid asked her when she receive an invitation from Isabella. She had been serving Crownguard family for too long that she watched Raphael grew up, and so she knew Isabella."Yes," she smiled."We shall prepare the best dress for you, madam," they said with high spirits and worry."Thank you," Diana responded.In a luxurious yet dimly lit room, Isabella, draped in an elegant black gown, reclined on a plush velvet chair. A malevolent smile played on her lips as she awaited Diana's arrival. She had meticulously planned every detail of this encounter, knowing the vulnerability of the wounds she would expose.As Diana stepped into the room, her heart pounded in her chest. She felt a mixture of apprehension and defiance as she locked eyes with Isabella.'It's been a while since I attended a party like this...' she thought in her mind.Despite the tremor

"What doesn't kill you makes you strong..." that has echoed in Diana's mind as she braced herself for another hit on her back. "Ugh!" and she had spitted blood right now. Her insides feel so much anger and hatred.'I need to survive to strangle that woman myself!' it was just willpower that keeps her alive.Diana's vision blurred as the pain intensified, her body battered and broken from the relentless assault. She could feel her strength waning, but her determination to survive burned fiercely within her. Each blow inflicted upon her only fueled her anger, transforming it into a fierce resolve to overcome this ordeal."Fuck you!" she said as her consciousness wavered on the precipice of darkness, a voice echoed through the chaos."Aha, you still have energy left?" and pulled her hair. "The master said we should hurt you taht you'd wish you're dead but we can't kill you but we can do this...""S...top it!" she said in slow voice a he slowly slit her neck but she won't die."Ahahahaha
