—ROME ARCHILLUS’ POV—It has been hours since Alora Eunice was transferred to the ICU but she’s not waking up.“Alora… please, wake up. I’m sorry. I should have asked you. I should have put my pride and ego aside. If only we’re not in a quarrel, you won’t hesitate to tell me that you’re receiving threats. I’m sorry, please, open your eyes. Look at me,” I slightly squeezed her hand, silently crying.“Rome…” dad Euren entered the room and tapped my shoulder. “Rest. I will stay with her.”“I don’t want to leave her.”“She’ll be worried if you don’t take care of yourself. You know, your health comes first. My daughter will be disheartened.”“But…”“We will do shifts. I will call you immediately when she wakes up.”I sighed and didn’t argue. I kissed her forehead before leaving.I saw a familiar face outside the ICU.“S-Sir…” it was Mrs. Hernandez, the one I fired. “Can we talk for a moment?” I asked, kind of exhausted. “Is Alora okay?” She asked as we walked down the hallway. “She hasn

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—We rushed to the hospital after the incident happened inside the mall. Oliver received a large cut on his arm when he tried saving me from the attacker. I was so worried that I couldn’t help but cry when the blood didn’t stop from dripping. I felt Oliver’s trembling hand covered with blood holding mine. “Shh… this is… just…” he groaned and looked at his arm with pain in his expression. “… just a small cut.”“Shut up. It isn’t just a minor one,” I said. I waited not so far from the emergency room going back and forth. Someone’s after my life again. What kind of grudge do they have for my family that I am their number one target?“Alora!” I heard Archi’s echoing voice through the hallway. It was my first time seeing him this too rushed and worried. He immediately reached for me and hugged me tightly. I felt his heavy breathing as I rested in his embrace. This will always be my safe place. “Are you okay?” Archi held both of my cheeks and looked at my eyes, scann

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—“I will go with you,” Archi said for the nth time but I stopped him. He’s too stubborn.I am going on a three-day business trip and he insisted on tagging along despite his busy schedule. We had a long debate before I convinced him not to come. I already made a lot of inconveniences on him the past weeks and I don’t want to add more to that.“Take care,” Archi said before kissing me and bid me a goodbye. I just got my plane seat when someone sat beside me. I was taken aback when a familiar face appeared in the sight.“Oh… what a coincidence,” Oliver said, a little bit helpless because his right arm was in an arm sling. “Hi, Alora.” “Oliver,” I looked at the wound where my attacker cut him. “You… haven’t recovered yet?” I asked, a little worried because I know that he got it because he tried to protect me. It’s my fault.“It’s kind of deep and it heals slower than an ordinary cut,” he groaned when he accidentally hit it somewhere.“I’m sorry. It’s my fault–”“Don’

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—I was in a deep sleep when I heard my phone ringing. I woke up and I searched my phone at the bed side table using my hand. It kept ringing and I immediately answered the call without looking at the caller’s name.“Hello?” I cleared my throat when it sounded so hoarse. “Sorry… hello?”[“Hey, Alora! Did I wake you up? Pardon.”]“Who’s…” I moved Archi’s arm on me and sat on the bed. I looked at him moving but he’s still asleep. I rubbed my eyes and checked on my phone screen. “Oh… sorry. Hi, Ms. Colombo! What’s up?”She’s the manager of Eithan Apparels.[“I sent you an email but you haven’t response yet so I called you.”]“Oh… sorry. I’ll check–”[“Well, it’s the result you were waiting for. Your design was chosen for the next Eithan Apparels’ fashion show. And guess what? The famous Athalia Martin will be the one who will wear your design. Congratulations in advance!”]I almost scream in excitement. Gosh… I love this progress in my fashion design career.[“I heard

WARNING: Mature content (Read at your own risk)—ALORA EUNICE’S POV—An attractive and sexy motorcycle!I thought he forgot about this. I told him before that I wanted to ride a motorcycle because I haven’t tried it at least once.“It’s your birthday but…” I looked at him with a little bit of blurry eyes. “You’re the one who surprised me.”“Because I wanted to always see you happy, Love.” He said while putting a helmet on me. “I’m glad you like it.”“Of course,” I said. Archi got on the big motorcycle and when he settled, he let me sit behind him. “Hold on to me. I don’t want you to fall.” I chuckled and excitedly hugged his waist. “Are you good?” He asked while making the engine roar. “Yes!” Oh gosh! This is really fun! Archi never disappoints. When I didn’t feel any more fear or nervousness, I slowly let him go and stretched my arms upward.“Happy birthday, Archi!” I shouted when I opened the face shield of my helmet. “Careful, silly!” Archi said, laughing at me.Minutes pass
