—ROME ARCHILLUS’ POV—“… you’re a genius, kid!” Gaius exclaimed but even Franco and Marcus were puzzled too like me. “This is a recording pen, for your information.”When we watched the recordings, I almost lost my temper. It’s so inhumane and to know that my son witnessed all of these? Such a trauma for him.“I will make him pay,” I said, jaw clenching.“Archi—”“I know Gaius,” I said to him, knowing that he will insist on taking this legally. “Marcus, where’s the info I need about their f*cking family?”“All ready, bud.”“Good, thanks.” I didn’t hesitate to make my move but this time, legally. “Kiddo,” I said, kneeling in front of my son while he was sitting at the edge of the bed—staring at me. “I’m not kiddo, I’m Archi.”I sighed and messed up his hair.“Alright, Archi then.” I said. “I’m going somewhere and taking care of some things.”“Are you… are you leaving… again?” He said, almost a whisper.“I will come back. I promise.” I said, assuring him. Is he afraid that I won’t co

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—“What? But you told me to remarry her, kiddo. Remember?” Archi said, giving his point—I don’t even know. Remarry… what? What’s with these two?Little Archi stretched his arms, wanting me to lift him. I have no choice but to do so. This is rare because he usually doesn’t want me to carry him, he’s a big boy now. “I’ll carry you. Mom’s not yet recovered—” Archi was about to get him but my son refused.“No,” little Archi said so firmly. I lifted him, while looking at Archi who sighed heavily because I knew how he tried to be patient, especially with a kid.When little Archi faced me, he held my cheeks using his little hands. He scanned me and pouted, eyes mad—turning his head to Archi who was innocently watching us then he turned his gaze back to me.“Mom, did that man make you cry, hm?”“What? No, love. We just talk, and I…” I don’t want my little Archi to think ill of his father because Archi didn’t really do anything to hurt me when we talked earlier. “I’m just

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—“Before you… I am her only Archi, silly,” Archi teased our son before getting a large bowl for the pork sinigang. He prepared the table and I helped him while little Archi was sitting at his chair, watching his father so intently. I found it so funny when I noticed little Archi’s unusual gestures as if he’s competing with his father. He always does what his father does to me—putting food on my plate, getting me a glass of water, even wiping something off my lips.The two didn’t let me wash the dishes so I just left them and went upstairs, borrowed a laptop from Lanie and opened my socials. Evan flooded our conversation with his messages. I immediately replied to ease his worries. I also searched about Sevillas. It was true, Oliver’s now in jail and their company barely survives the chaos—or should I say, a little bit of push and they’re off the business world.“Hey, what are you doing?” Archi suddenly appeared behind me and hugged me, resting his chin on my shoul

—ROME ARCHILLUS’ POV—Our Ray Archillus and I watched the love of our lives—Alora Eunice—scanning with awe the wedding gown I’ve been keeping for the past years. I didn’t throw it for this very reason—hoping that she will come back to me.That we could fix what was ruined.I always regret that night but maybe… it should just stay in the past.I felt a hand pulling the hem of my semi-formal shirt. I looked down on Ray—our Archi. It’s kind of weird calling him by my nickname.“Are you gonna ask mom now?”“Is it okay with you?” I kneeled to level him and pulled a small box out of my pocket and showed to our son the couple ring I also bought years ago.“As long as you don’t make my mom cry, it’s all right with me,” he said and glanced at Alora—still busy looking at the details of the wedding gown.“Alright. Thank you,” I smiled at him.I immediately hid the box when Alora looked at us.“Archi, why…?” She couldn’t ask properly, her eyes were teary.“Six years ago, I was planning to ask you
