Cianna's POV: "Thank you!" I smiled in gratitude to Rum for helping me lift the twins to their room. Rum just smiled back at me. When we put them both down on their bed, Rum slowly stepped out of the twin's room. While we were on our way home earlier, the twins fell asleep. Maybe they were tired of playing with their Grandma Marianne. After I arranged and covered the two with blanket, I slowly left their room. "Cianna, let's talk." Rum said calmly to me as I exited the twin room. "What's your plan?" he asked. I bowed. I also don't know what my plan is after what happened. My twins birthday is coming next month, Mommy and Daddy requested that they will prepare for my children's 7th birthday, they said they want to make up for the years they haven't been with us. Something out of the plan, this week, after our project with the VDM Group of Companies we were scheduled to go home to Paris. But it looks like that won’t happen because we still have to stay until my daughters' birthday. "To
What is love? Love endures."Are you coming home tonight?" I asked my husband. As far as I know, it's Sunday and he doesn't have work in his office. But that's it and he's all dressed up. He's even wearing a perfume that he doesn't do. "No, I'm not coming home, tonight. Don't wait for me." he answered coldly. "Okay. W–where are you going?" I asked in curiosity. "To a friend." he replied and he seemed very sure of it. Love always understands even it's hurting you. "Okay." I'm not contented to what he said. I guess it's different. When my husband left, I hurriedly called Jacob. He's my husband's bestfriend. "Do you know where Rod is going? Please Jacob, don't lie to me." I beg openly to Jacob. "My God, Cianna! You know the truth can harm with the child in your womb. So, you'd better act like nothing happened—" Yeah, I'm pregnant and my husbad doesn't know that. Only his bestfriend know, only Jacob knows about my four weeks pregnancy. But—love will always let you find the trut
Rodleigh's Point of View :I was busy kissing Thalia when my friend, Jacob, called me. "Babe, can I take this call?" I asked her permission. "Sure babe, just hurry up, okay?" she said softly before giving me a kiss on the lips. Damn! This woman, she's driving me crazy with her kisses. "Go ahead, Babe! Answer that first, it might be important," she winked at me before pushing me sexily. I chuckled because of what she did. "You're disturbing me, Chua! Are you even aware of that?" I immediately opened up to him after I pressed the answer button of his call. "Psh!" Because of his opening I smiled. "What is it, Chua? Do you want a girl? I'll send you—" "Damn you, Rod!" he said angrily then he hung up the phone on me. "What's his problem with me?" I just asked myself before I was shaken. I was about to walk into the resthouse when I received a call from Manang, my housekeeper. This is not the plan of my good wife, Cianna, is it? To intentionally disturb me and Thalia? Because when I
Cianna's Point of View: I cried so much that I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep without changing my pajamas last night. It is now six o'clock in the morning. I immediately got up and went to a wash room because my stomach was so bad. It's like digging into something I can't understand. In a few moments I was nauseous in the sink. When my nausea was over, the digging into my stomach was also over. There I washed and groomed myself. After doing my morning routines, I decided to go downstairs. "Babe what happened? Why did you suddenly leave me last night?" I was just in the middle of the stairs when I immediately heard Thalia's voice. I tried to calm myself down. Fortunately, my emotions were in line with what I wanted to happen. I'm right of suspicion. Thalia's here, they're at the table and Rod is facing each other. Rod was touching his head while leaning on the table. Thalia, on the other hand, seemed to have a hard time getting Rod's attention. "What are you doing here?" I
Rodleigh's Point of View: "Rodleigh, where is Cianna?" "Son, is it true that my daughter is missing?" Cianna's parents asked one question after another as they entered my house. "Rodleigh, you answered!" It was Cianna's mom. She trembled as she sobbed. "What's happening here, son?" "Rodleigh?" It was Mom and Dad who came home next. Like Cianna's parents, they immediately threw questions at me about Cianna. It's been two days since Cianna left. I tried to find her for two days but nothing happened. There was no trace of her departure. I don't know where to look for her. I almost checked all the records at the airport about her but I got nothing. That's why they're here, I just told them that Cianna hasn't come home for two days. "I-I'm sorry-" I fell immediately to the floor when Daddy punched me. I was caught in my aching jaw. I barely moved it because I felt it twist with the force of Dad's blow. Next I touched was my lip. There's a blood. My lip is bleeding. "What did you do
Rodleigh's Point of View: I hurriedly out of Cianna's room carrying the diary containing Thalia's secrets. I like to think that these are just Cianna's fiction. I like to think she was just insulting Thalia with what she wrote here. But I couldn't help my feelings of not believing what I found out. It was as if thousands of knives were stabbing my heart now. It hurts. It is very painful. I first went to my room to put the notebook I got in Cianna's room, and the envelope that Manang had given me earlier. I put aside opening that envelope first. I have something more important to go to now. "Sir, are you leaving?" It was Manang who's asking me. Although I wanted to answer her, but I couldn't because I was in such a hurry. When I got in my car I immediately drove it back to Thalia's house. I wanted to hear firsthand from her that what I found out was not true. I can't stand if those are true. Six years my world revolved around Thalia. I never knew her as a secretive woman. For me,
7 years later. Rodleigh's Point of View: "Over the years, we can't deny to ourselves that many of us have changed. Just like our company, we started with just a small business, but because of the diligence and perseverance of all of us, there and now we are. Let's go up!" We gave a round of applause after Daddy spoke. "And not only that! Like I said before, many of us have changed. Like me, I can no longer manage the company..." Suddenly everyone stopped at what Dad said next. His face also became sad. Perhaps he is sad because what he started he will now give up. Even Mommy and I were surprised. There was a rumor inside the hall because of what Daddy would unexpectedly say. "I told you, my older brother will give me his position in the Company." It was Aunt Rezel, Dad's younger sister. She had been urging Daddy for a long time to give her his position in the company because of the illness that Dad was suffering from. I don't think that he will give up his CEO position now."Tha
Rodleigh's Point of View: "Sir, do you know her?" I just got to my office room and that was the first question Danielle, my personal assistant, asked me. "Next time, don't you ever dare to touched my things, Danielle!" I violently grabbed the picture frame she was holding and returned it to where I first placed it. "Get out!" I shouted at her. "I'm sorry, Sir, I'm really sorry." She nodded before rushing out of the room. I sat down in my swivel chair and slowly looked at her picture. "It's been seven years, Cianna, but why I can't find you no matter what I do?" I asked myself as I started touching her face through the picture frame that I am holding. "Excuse me!" "Chua!" I quickly stood up to face Chua. "What was that?" He asked meaningfully as he slowly stepped closer to me. "What are you hiding behind you, Del Mundo?" "None of your business! What's bring you here?" I asked. "Really? I thought you already moved on?" He said with a smile after he took the picture of Cianna
