ANA’s POV“Hey,” I blinked and looked around, realizing that we were at the town hall. I stifled a yawn, as I hadn't had a proper sleep in a week. I tried to read Lady Stella’s diary again, but I couldn't focus due to my business responsibilities and the upcoming election.“Martin,” I called out softly to Martin, who was listening intently to the conversation. “Martin,” I tugged at his sleeve, causing him to turn towards me. “What are you discussing?” I asked.He glared at me, so I just smiled, as I hadn’t really been paying attention, my mind preoccupied with Lady Stella’s diary.“About business and the funds for the citizens,” he replied.I fell silent and leaned back in my chair. I glanced at the Villalobos, who were acting as if they were saints in front of the investors. Furthermore, I couldn’t believe that they could still carry themselves so confidently after what they had done to me, as if they had nothing to do with what happened to me. It was obvious that they were hiding ev
I woke up and was surprised by the scenario because it seemed like I no longer had a car.“My husband.”“Stella…”My eyes widened when I saw Lady Stella and Don Ignacio. I knew them from the old newspapers.Is this a dream?“What are we going to do? The Montes are not guilty of what they are accusing them of.”“I don’t know, my love. I don’t know what to do anymore. Don Martinez left the town to me.”I just covered my mouth and cried when I saw their situation. If this is just a dream, please… Wake me up. It hurts to see them like this.I was then transferred to another scenario where chaos was happening at the Montes' hacienda.W-what’s happening?“No! Not my husband! He's innocent!”Oh my god. No… Please!“Stella, take care of our future child. Remember, the truth is on my side.”“N-no…! Ignacio!”***“Ana, wake up!”I woke up and noticed that I was in Martin’s car.“Hey,”I held my chest because it was tight. I didn't know why, but I ended up crying in front of Martin, who I knew w
I finished the remaining alcohol and went back to my room to sleep, but I forgot that Martin was there.I stumbled onto the bed and looked up at the ceiling, feeling the effects of the alcohol. Furthermore, I must have had too much to drink. Maybe that’s why Rio and the others were drinking it, to give them energy for whatever they were planning to do. TSK.It startled me when Martin hugged me and widened my eyes when he put his hand inside my lingerie. “M-Martin…!” I covered my mouth as he touched my chest.Isn’t he sleeping? Is he dreaming? Fuck.I looked at Martin and was surprised to see his eyes wide open, staring blankly. I couldn’t deny that women fall for Martin. His gaze seemed to dig deep into your soul.“Martin?”He didn’t speak and continued to touch my chest. I wasn’t even wearing a bra! Damn it, Martin! He was asleep earlier!He continued to touch my chest, and I couldn't help but moan. “Aghn… M-Martin… T-that’s my weakness!” I struggled to say as I pushed his hand away.
With tears in my eyes, I faced the man who would be my partner for life.“I love you, my husband,”“I love you even more…”And we were met with applause from our loved ones. While some may not approve of our marriage and there have been many obstacles and people involved, we have overcome them all.I know his parents are against us; they do not want me because I am an orphan, and they believe I am only after Mateo's money, but that is not true.I did not marry Mateo for his wealth; I married him because I love him and believe he is the man I deserve.“What is happening? Are you out of your mind, Mateo?”I simply bowed my head, unable to meet Mrs. Caridad Villalobos’ gaze, the mother of the man I love.“I know plenty of women who would be more suitable for you! Just don’t be with that woman if she doesn’t have a family!” She yelled at Mateo, and I bowed even lower.She is right. I come from an orphanage, and I am unsure if I have any family left.“No! I love her! We are getting married
THIRD POV“Don Martin has arrived!”“Respect for Don Martin!”“Don Martin, the patient is awake.”Martin stopped in front of Doctor Aragon.“How is she?” he asked, glancing at the woman in the bed.“As you can see, Don Martin, after five years, the patient has woken up. But she hasn't spoken. She seems stunned, as if there's no life in her. It’s because of the severe trauma she experienced,” the doctor explained to Martin.He nodded and returned his gaze to the woman, who remained in a state of shock. “Alright, let me handle her. You can leave now.”The doctor nodded and bowed before leaving.Martin looked around before entering the room and closing the door. Then he faced her. “That’s enough,” he said to the woman, who immediately turned to face him.“How long will I be here, Martin?” she asked. “I need to get out of here because Mateo needs me.”He gave her a serious look before sighing. “You can leave. But for now, you need to pretend because we still don’t know who is trying to ki
THIRD POV“Mateo, please wait for me!”“Mateo!”“Huh?” He abruptly turned around upon hearing his name being called.Suddenly, he remembered that he was in a bar with his friends. He scanned the room, trying to regain his senses, which were tingling slightly.“We’ve been calling you for a while, but you seemed lost!”“Are you sure you’re okay?”He took a deep breath, nodded, and ran his hand through his hair. He was confused about what was happening. Earlier, he had also heard his ex-wife's voice. He didn’t understand what was going on, but he knew he had been dreaming about her for several nights. He couldn’t tell if it was just a vision or a memory.Even now, he regretted the mistakes he had made in the past. One single mistake had cost him his wife.If he were to ask for forgiveness from his wife, it would only be to atone for his sins.“Ana, I’m sorry,” he whispered.DON MARTIN was greeted by many business executives upon his arrival at the Royale. After many years, he was back in
“THERE SHE IS!”Martin’s attention was immediately drawn to the front of the car, where he saw Ana sitting on the pavement in the pouring rain. He frowned and quickly instructed his driver to stop the car.As soon as the car came to a halt on the side of the road, Martin wasted no time in getting out of the back seat. Ignoring the heavy rain, he hurriedly walked towards Ana and embraced her tightly, planting a kiss on her forehead.“Take me home, Martin!”“Of course, let's go home.”He lifted Ana off the ground and carried her back to the car.“Let’s get going.”“Are we heading back to the hospital, Master?”Martin shook his head and looked down at the woman in his arms. “No, we’re going to San Alfonso.”CHLOE’s POV“Why are you so drunk?” I asked my husband, but received no response. He simply stared blankly into the air. Irritation washed over me as a result. I let out a deep sigh. It had been five years since Ana's death, yet Mateo's behavior had remained the same ever since he fo
“M-Martin!”“Yeah?”“Ahhh! Faster, Martin!” she begged.Martin smiled mischievously and granted Chloe's request. He moved on top of her and increased the pace of his movements. Oh, damn! Compared to the other women he had one-night stands with before, Chloe was dull.He would not have invited her to join him at that hotel if it wasn't for his plan.Before formulating his plan, he delved into Chloe Cain's background and discovered that she had cheated on Mateo. He also found out that Chloe frequently went to clubs and was involved with other men. Additionally, he learned that Ana had become friends with Chloe because Chloe was interested in Mateo.Martin grabbed Chloe's hair and forced her to look up at him, only to be met with her annoying face.“You like me, don't you?” he asked as he continued his quick movements from behind her. “You can't resist me,” Martin said, grinning.Chloe nodded. “Fuck, Martin! Harder, please!”Martin grinned again and pulled her hair even harder. “If that'
