CHAPTER 40

—ROME ARCHILLUS’ POV—“Will you stop going back and forth? I’m getting a headache, man.” Franco said through the screen of my laptop. I video called him because he’s the only person and friend that could understand the problem I am facing now. He was married for three years now. Maybe he could give some insights about… married life? “What does it mean if your wife said—Let’s end this! Then slammed the door to your face?” “Give me some context, Archi.” “I picked her up then saw her with her ex-lover—” “Did she cheat on

CHAPTER 41

—ROME ARCHILLUS POV—I dived into the pool and saved her. She almost drowned and it… it scared the hell out of me. Damn it… Alora Eunice. “Hey, Alora Eunice. Are you alright?” I was checking on her, still catching my breath but she just hugged me. Her body was shaking due to the coldness of the water. Everyone’s attention is now on us but I never mind them staring at us. I am more worried about my wife. “Did someone push her?” I was furious while interrogating the witnesses. My friends were just watching. “It was Chiara,” Cheska said. “Chiara?”

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— When Friday came, the limited edition evening gown I personally designed finally arrived. It’s an A-line gown in a stunning royal blue. The other two designs came in old rose and a classy shade of green.I opened the package with excitement and immediately tried it on. It fit me perfectly. I was ecstatic as I stood in front of the mirror, admiring how it looked on me."Alora–oh... that's gorgeous..." Rome mumbled while looking at me.“Hm?” I looked at him, a question in my eyes. I hadn’t noticed him earlier—I was too busy admiring myself in the mirror.“You’ll wear that tomorrow?

CHAPTER 43

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV–- "So you're working with Ms. Athalia Martin?" "Uh... yeah," I answered briefly, feeling a little awkward. I had expected to talk about my designs, but she suddenly brought up Ms. Martin out of nowhere."Oh my gosh! What does it feel like?" she asked again, but before I could answer, a soft voice interrupted from behind them."Uhm... excuse me? Did I hear my name?" Ms. Martin asked quietly."Ms. Martin, nice to see you here! Can we take a picture with you?"The group of ladies who had been surrounding me immediately shifted their attention to Ms. Martin. Thankfully, they left me alone. I’d been feeling kind of suffocated while they were crowding me.

CHAPTER 44

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— I wanted to end my performance right then.I had poured everything into the last piece. Every ounce of emotion, every weight of thought. Maybe it even sounded too dramatic, too much.But when I pressed the final note, there was silence. Then the applause came. Praise, kind words, scattered voices trying to name what they had just felt.I bowed, once, and left."Thank you very much, Mrs. De Herrera," the organizer said. "We—oh... is there a problem, madam? You look—""Uhm... sorry. I... I need to... uh..." I could feel it rising in my chest—I badly wanted to cry. "I need to go to the comfort room, excuse me."

CHAPTER 45

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— I let my feet guide me, trusting where they wanted to take me. Somehow, they led me to a quiet fountain nestled in the heart of a building. Though the space was dimly lit, I kept walking forward—seeking solitude, a place to be alone with my thoughts. I settled onto the bench beside the gentle trickle of water and, overwhelmed by everything inside me, silently let the tears fall, releasing the weight of my heart.Are we now filing for a divorce? Is he going to leave me and settle with his first love? Here I am again… for sure, this will lead to another argument. Not that I want to argue with him but... ugh! I tried wiping my nonstop tears. Stop crying. Don't cry!“Madam,” a bo

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— "Madam, we're very sorry for the inconvenience Beatrice gave you," one of the helpers of the orphanage said. She slowly got Bea from my arms."Not at all," I smiled at them assuringly. "Marco, take care.""Thank you, madam," Marco's head slightly bowed before they left.When they were finally out of sight, I was the first to walk away. But I could feel Rome’s presence trailing behind me. My heart started pounding—loud and fast—as if bracing for something inevitable.Wait a minute… Why am I nervous, like I’ve done something wrong, when I haven’t done anything at all?"Gaius," I heard him say—talking to his friend on the phone

CHAPTER 47

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— "Yes… If we wanted to keep this going, why not?"I stared at his eyes, and I saw his soft genuine expression despite his hard features. Seconds passed before he looked away and finished his tea. My eyes dropped at the slice of pizza in my hand. Wow... I can now stand his gaze. Not that I am afraid of his eyes but the awkwardness between us slowly fading."We will be back after two weeks, right?" I asked."I still have unfinished business here. Can you stay until the first week of June?" he asked me back."I need to prepare for my licensure examination so… I'll go back at the scheduled time," I said.

I took a slow breath and made my way toward them, trying not to fidget.Some of them offered warm smiles. Friendly. But most… had that effortlessly intimidating presence."Oh... Mr. De Herrera's wife?" One of them asked and I nodded. "Have a seat."I like her aura. A kind and approachable person.

Athalia stood up with widened eyes. She pulled Mrs. Gutierrez's arm, and looked at us and said, "Please, excuse us.""What? I know you will do nothing," Mrs. Gutierrez hissed while Athalia pulled her away from us."That's too much. You shouldn't have told her!" Athalia lowered h
