All Chapters of The Knot of Marriage: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

–ALORA EUNICE’S POV– For the last time, I stared at myself from a body-length mirror and remembered the day I bought this long gown."Welcome to Estella, madam." The staff greeted me with a smile plastered on her face. "How may I help you?""Uhm..." I looked around to scan the shop. It has different fashion and my eyes stopped at the dress and gown section. Everything is stunning and eye pleasing. I really admire the fashion design of Estella. "I am looking for a gown. Hm... a champagne long gown. Is there any available?""Yes, madam. This way please...""Rose—oh. We have a customer." I turned and found myse

–ALORA EUNICE’S POV– He's too close, and my heart is uncontrollably pounding hard and fast. "Stay here. I will call someone to treat your injury." Rome said. We entered one of the hotel's offices and he put me down on a sofa. "T-Thanks." I said, feeling a sudden embarrassment when I realized that he must have endured my weight until we arrived here. I am not that heavy, right? I made a little flutter kick but immediately stopped when I felt the pain on my foot. I behaved myself when an attending nurse arrived and immediately gave me first aid. Rome sat beside me, moving little to give space between us. He’s watching every process of tending to my sprained foot."Don't ov

–ALORA EUNICE’S POV– The door suddenly opened wide and speaking of... Rome De Herrera is now in front of me. Wait, why am I suddenly feeling so nervous? Rome De Herrera is just standing in front of me.That's the point, he was standing in front of me and my heart raced like I am still in that piano competition where he congratulated me with a handsome, and attractive smile on his face. I shook my head and dusted off the thought. I noticed his eyes were full of worry, but suddenly changed when he saw me. It was dark and blank. I gulped and stepped aside to give way to Raña's side. Auntie Estella and Uncle Remus, their parents arrived not long after. I decided to leave the room to give them privacy. I heard the door open,

–ALORA EUNICE’S POV– Fiancée?Before I could even process the word, he was already holding the door of his Porsche open for me. And just like that, I had no choice. I slid into the seat, wordless. From the side mirror, I watched him walk calmly around to the driver’s side.“Seatbelt,” he said firmly, settling into his seat.“W-What?” I looked at him, completely thrown off.He let out a quiet sigh. Without a word, he leaned over and reached for the seatbelt on my side.Instinctively, I leaned back into the seat, heart stammering from how close his face suddenly was to mine.

–ALORA EUNICE’S POV– Evan's calling…"Excuse me," I put down my utensils, grabbed my phone, and stood up to walk away. "Evan."["Finally, you answered! I called you several times and you didn't answer even once, Alora."]"Sorry... I slept in." I replied. Based on the tone of his voice, I already knew that I gave him another worry.["I thought something happened again. Are you okay?"]"Still recovering," I leaned on the wall beside me while looking at the city lights outside.["Uncle Euren and Aunt Aleisha can't contact you so they called me. Geez. I don’t know what to answer, Alora!] He soun
