ALLY'S POVI'm wearing a mint green mini dress that reaches just above my knees today. And white flat sandals, plus a white shoulder bag. I also tied up my hair into a messy ponytail.I looked at myself in front of my full-length mirror.I couldn't help but be amazed because even though what I'm wearing is simple, it looks so beautiful. My cheeks and lips are naturally red, which suits my long eyelashes.I moved closer to the mirror and stared at my eyes. The eyes of Allys."Hmm... not bad. Simple yet pretty. When did you become fond of dresses? As far as I know, you like fitted denim jeans, you know," Samantha commented while watching me in the mirror."Ahh, just when I got out of the hospital. The doctors said it's good for me to wear a dress because I just had surgery. Tight clothes are bad for my skin," I lied to Samantha.She nodded as if she was convinced by what I was saying."That makes sense. Formal looks suit you too; you look like an innocent, fine woman. Anyway, let's go,"

ALLY'S POVShe gently tapped the man's shoulder as if introducing him to me.I couldn't speak immediately because of what she said.Her son is my crush? The very man in front of me now."L-long time c-crush?" I asked stutteringly while pointing to myself.I couldn't believe that Mariel had a crush on this arrogant man.Suddenly, this man stood up in front of me, so I couldn't help but look up at him."It's rude not to introduce myself to a lady who lost her memories," his voice is almost a growl.I wasn't wrong in my speculations. All of him is screaming of force and power. Even his voice.I couldn't help but feel scared."I'm Leon Versius Reniel Mondragon. It's nice to meet you again, Mariel Evangeline Cuevas." He introduced himself stiffly in his very brusque voice.I stood up slowly, and with a trembling hand, I accepted his outstretched palm. I could clearly see in his eyes the amazement at whatever it was he was seeing now."I'm your fiancee."I was shocked by what he said and fe

ALLY'S POVThree days passed, and Leon hasn't returned. He's probably busy with his business. I don't know what kind of business he has, and I don't care. It's better this way so I can avoid him and we won't argue anymore.When he's here, I don't know what to do. My mind goes blank, and I feel like he'll find out any minute that I'm not Mariel. And besides that, I don't like the things that come out of his mouth, and I just get annoyed."What am I going to do now? I don't want to marry that man." I said, talking to the flowers I just planted.I gently reached for the sprinklers and watered them softly."Grow well, okay? And bloom a lot and beautifully." I said to them with a smile.It's better to talk to plants. It's comforting. Back in our town, I really loved planting plants. Maybe because that was the only hobby I had back then."I didn't know you like flowers that much."I stopped watering and turned to where that brusque voice came from.There.I saw Leon.Casually sitting on our

ALLY'S POV"Are you okay, Miss? Why are you walking in this place? Where's your car?" he asked, looking around to see if I had a car with me."Ah, I'm okay. I came from the villa, and I'm just waiting for my ride to arrive," I replied softly and continued walking when I felt his car keeping pace with me."Villa? Ah... the one owned by the Mondragons?!" He shouted from inside.I just nodded."How about I give you a ride? You see, this is far from the city. You might get into trouble."I heard the door of his car open, and he came out. He was very tall, and from what I could see, he was just as tall as Leon. He looked me up and down.Then his jaw suddenly tightened."Damn it! Who's the asshole letting you walk alone in this secluded place.""Ah, I'm okay-""MARIEL!!"I was surprised when someone shouted my name.I immediately saw his red car parked in the distance. I could also clearly see his large strides approaching me.I immediately felt fear when I noticed his blank expression.His

ALLY'S POVGasping for breath, and having recovered from the shock and fear I felt earlier, I annoyedly rolled my eyes at Leon.I quickly turned my back on him when I felt my tears threatening to fall. Damn it! Why did I suddenly remember that event? That's the only reason why I'm in this situation now."What the hell! Why are you crying?" Leon asked me in surprise and immediately signaled somewhere.What is he doing here and why is he here? Annoying! I'm annoyed at myself because he's seeing me in this situation.I saw his red car park in front of us, and Mang Pedio got out of it."Get in the car, Mariel," Leon ordered me while holding the open door of the passenger seat."N-no need, Mang Pedio and I have a car, so I'll ride there," I said and looked for Mang Pedio. But I didn't see Mang Pedio around. Where is he? He was just here a while ago."I already told him to go home. I'll take you home, Mariel." He said using his low firm voice.Did I hear right? He's taking me home? Why woul
