-=Martina's Point of View=- I didn’t know how long I was gaping while looking at Kian; I was still trying to process what he just said, thinking that maybe I heard him incorrectly or maybe he said something differently, but whatever ransacked I did in my brain, the truth still remained. He knew who I was, and he knew that I was Zion’s wife! But how did he know about it? I wonder. “Why do you look so shocked? Is it a secret that you didn’t want me to know?" He asked, looking curious. “Of course not! If I wanted to keep it a secret, then I wouldn’t tell you about it,” I said. “Fair point,” he responded nonchalantly. “I was just surprised that you knew about it and acted like you didn’t know anything.” “Why? Do you want me to treat you differently? Would you like me to serve you like a peasant serves their master?” He asked. “Of co… course not,” I replied. I couldn't imagine if Kian started to treat me like those people in the castle; it also made me wonder if that happened, woul

-=Martina's Point of View=-My hands are shaking while I look in disbelief at the video on Zeke's phone. I didn't think that after a month of not seeing my dad, I finally got the chance to see him again, even through the small screen of Zeke's phone.I could already feel my eyes watering from the emotion I was trying to contain, but I missed my dad so much that after a few seconds, the tears started to flow freely from my eyes."You can talk to your father, mistress. I will be just outside if you need any," Zeke said."Wait... is this a video call?" I asked."Of course," he replied, and after that, he signaled for the other people in the room to leave, giving me the privacy I needed.I thought that he was just showing me a recorded video of my dad, but it turned out that my dad was actually on the other side of the video."How... are you, princess? I cried even harder when I heard my dad's voice.He was still having difficulty speaking, but he had improved a lot since I last saw him

-=Martina's Point of View=-When I stepped into Annie's home, I felt like I was treated like a princess. Her parents are such a lovely couple, but I think it was pretty much too much.They didn't allow me to move a muscle and either did it themselves or they would order Annie to do those things, which was quite simple.They kept on calling me mistress even though I already told them that they could call me by my name, or in this case, Tin, since we were still trying to hide my identity from the others."Are they really like that?" I couldn't help but ask when we were finally inside Annie's room, which is going to be my room as well.Annie's room is quite small compared to my room back in the castle and even my room at my father's place, but everything inside is chosen properly, maximizing the space."Not really, just with you, I guess, but you couldn't blame them since we admire Master Zion so much that having you as a guest, Master Zion's wife, is such a privilege and an honor," she e

-=Martina's Point of View=-"What's wrong, Martina?" I was awoken when I heard Annie's voice, and when I looked at her, I saw a genuine concern written on her charming face."Nothing; I was just thinking something," I replied while avoiding her gaze.We were already having our breakfast, and they decided to wake me up once everything had been prepared.I didn't realize that I actually fell asleep when I lay down in bed next to Annie, but even in my nap, my dream was still filled with Kian, and now, even in front of the food that Mrs. Thomas prepared, my mind is still filled with my talk with Kian a few hours ago."Mom told me that you stepped out earlier; did you go anywhere?" She asked just curiously, but even though she wasn't insinuating anything, I still felt guilty."I just decided to step out for some fresh air," I answered."Oh, okay, but I wouldn't suggest that you go out alone during those hours. I mean, don't get me wrong, our place is safe, but we cannot be too sure since t

-=Martina's Point of View=-"I know what I have to do!"That is the thought that kept running through my mind while waiting for Saturday to come. There were some instances where I felt my resolve was weakening, but when I remembered my talk with my dad, that resolve suddenly returned.I admit, there were times when I found myself thinking of a possible excuse or even an alibi just to justify my continuing to see Kian, but the more I thought about it, the clearer it became that I needed to stop seeing Kian.We agreed to be friends, but based on how our relationship escalated weakly, it would only be a matter of time before we eventually fell for each other, and it was also possible that I might commit adultery in the end.It isn’t fair for my husband; yeah, we married without really any feelings for each other, but during my stay on this island, I somehow got to know him a bit. I learned how caring and nice Zion was to the residents of this island, and he didn’t deserve to be cheated
