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'
THIRD POV“Sir! There’s a woman causing trouble outside!” said his secretary as he walked into his office.Martin stopped and smirked. He faced his secretary, who was waiting for his order.“Sir, may I allow her?”He nodded to his secretary, who bowed before leaving his office. The woman who was causing trouble outside rushed into his office.“Martin!”“What do you want—” He didn’t finish what he was saying when the business proposal that he didn't want to sign was thrown at him.“What does this mean? Why haven’t you signed yet? This is not what we’re talking about!” Chloe shouted at him. When she woke up in a hotel, there was no Martin in the room and no signature from him on a deal they had.“I didn’t say that I would also sign Mrs. Villalobos,” said Martin, which angered the woman even more.Chloe approaches the table and slaps it because of the annoyance that the man has broken his promise.“I agree with what you want just because of our agreement, Martin!” Chloe clenched her fist
ANA’s POV.“Ana, don’t you want to get out of here and get some fresh air?”When I saw Paris standing at the door of my room, I smiled at her.I’m uncertain how long I’ve been here at the hacienda since I found out the truth about our relationship.Since then, I’ve just locked myself in my room and haven’t talked to anyone except Paris and Martin. That’s why I feel like I’m becoming a burden to them, and they could not enjoy their honeymoon.I sighed and smiled at Paris. “I apologize for becoming a burden to you and Martin. Because of me, you can't have a honeymoon.” I said. I’m already ashamed of her for bothering them.I know her. Martin introduced her to me, but I had a feeling they were a couple because of their closeness. It’s embarrassing that I'm still an impediment to both of them.Because of what I said, Paris frowned. “Huh? Martin and I are not married and I’m her friend!” my eyes widened as she spoke, and I covered my mouth because of my nonsense.Paris laughed because she
ANA’s POVWhat information do I have about what happened to me? Wasn’t it just an accident?I just walked around my room, holding my head. And I was confused as well, if I can believe everything they say. And what kind of revenge is Martin referring to? Who will we exact our revenge on?I bit my nails to remember the image that came to my mind. I just stopped thinking when I felt someone enter my room.“Ana.” I sighed and turned to face Martin, who gave me a tired smile. “Are you sure... you’re okay?” asked Martin, as he approached where I was standing. I turned away from him and went to the terrace to look at the Monticello land.I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. “Will you tell me the truth when I say I’m fine?” I felt he was stunned because he didn't respond, so I smiled and said, “You’re still not going to tell, aren’t you? You’re just waiting for me to remember.”How many times have I considered everything Martin said? Many images come to mind, and I'm uncertain if they
