Amari Fleur's Point Of ViewWhen I got out of the car, I immediately looked around the yard. Nothing has changed even though it has been several years since I came here. And what used to look like a mansion has doubled in size even more. I smiled when I saw Mrs. Devera walking in my direction."Is that you, Fleur? You're indeed a stunning woman, and you're getting even more gorgeous."Mrs. Devera complimented me as she kissed me on my cheeks."How are you, Mrs. Devera? You look so captivating as well."I told Mrs. Devera. She giggled at me and then grabbed my hands."Just call me Aunt Jeaneth or maybe Mommy Jeaneth. After all, you are Klaus' girlfriend and soon-to-be wife."Mrs. Devera, which made me speechless."Yes, of course, Fleur. You should call me Tito Franco, but I would love to hear if you will call me Dad."Mr. Devera added. I smiled at both of them and still could not utter a single word."Wait, why didn't Klaus pick you up at the airport? Where's Klaus, Franco? Where is yo
Amari Fleur's Point Of ViewFrom the second floor of La Collection d'Amari, I could only see through the tinted glass of my office. I chose to stay inside because there were so many reporters outside. I should not stay in my office, but only with some nasty reporters who keep asking about my rumored husband, from whom I don't even know where they got it. I launched my business here in the Philippines. I am very grateful because its outcome was successful, just like other branches I launched in different countries. I was happy when Patrizia arrived yesterday to support my launch and as Mom's representative, too, because she couldn't come for personal reasons, which I understand. "Today is the official launch of a new branch of your business. But why are you hiding here in your office?" I looked at Patrizia and smiled. I sat down on the one-seater couch and lightly scratched my forehead."I wanted to welcome the people who attended the launching of my business, but too many presses ca
*Happened decades agoAccident Prone Area Ahead. Drive carefully.The road sign informs her that she will pass by an accident-prone area. She slows down her speed for her and the life inside her womb. She taps her stomach and talks to it as if it will understand her."Don't worry, baby. Mommy will drive carefully for the both of us."She focuses her eyes on the road. As she passed the accident-prone highway, she let out a sigh.The doctor told her to be careful as always from now on. Her pregnancy could be delicate if she won't take things slow. Including her work, she needs to take a rest from it. She smiled as she remembered the OB-Gyne had told her earlier. That it would be great if she stayed with someone who could care for her. Her boyfriend was the first thing that came into her mind.The father of her child. She reached for her phone and excitedly dialed the number of her boyfriend."Honey? Where are you? I've been trying to call you, but your phone is out of reach."She can
Amari's Point of View "Yeah, it's today. Are you coming with me?" I rolled my eyes as I confirmed that Kaizer was going with me. "Okay, we'll be leaving in two hours. Don't you dare to be late" I told him and then hung up the call. Oh gosh, I always feel irritated every time I talk to him. It is the perfect timing to dump him. Or not. I massage my forehead because of the irritation I feel. I let out a deep sigh as I looked out of my window. What a perfect day to leave. I opened my suitcase and checked my things once again. My eyes averted to my phone when it vibrated. It was a text from Kaizer. From: Kaizer I will pick you up, babe. See you! I love you :) I rolled my eyes when I reached the ending phrase. As if it is true, I murmured. Kaizer is my one-week boyfriend. But I do not believe him whenever he says that phrase, whether personal or text, chat, or call. I don't believe in any man every time that they will say those words. I love you. They are just trying to ge
Amari's Point of View I looked around as I entered the Royal Time Square Hotel room. In fairness, the room is very spacious; it has a queen-sized bed. The color pastel blue with a touch of white made me smile. And speaking of the view from the balcony, I can see the Time Square Garden. I loved it. I told myself as I smiled. My phone vibrates. It was a message from Kaizer. From: Kaizer I will visit a friend. See you later at dinner. Love you : ) Liar. I don't bother to reply to his message. It is not that important. He can visit any woman in New York City; it does not matter to me. I entered the bathroom, and it excited me when there was a jacuzzi. Perfect for my relaxation while having a bottle of red wine. How I wish my Mom were with me and also Auntie Lileth and, of course, Patrizia. I opened my suitcase and started pulling out some casual clothes. I picked my blue high-waisted skinny jeans, perfect for showing my excellent hips. I paired it with a black backless crop top b
Rafael's Point of View "Come on, Fuentabella, stand up straight." I mumbled to him. I don't like having one-on-one drinking sessions with Raiko because he can't even stand on his feet when he gets drunk. He will drink too much but cannot bear to stand up after. This crazy friend of mine is one of a kind. He is the only friend that I always needed to bring home. "Crisha, baby" Raiko said while touching my face. I laughed as I looked at Raiko's face. He is really into that woman named Crisha. "Fuentabella, stop doing that. I am not Crisha." I said while I put him in the passenger seat. I set his seatbelt, and after that, I turned to the driver's seat. "You did not change, Fuentabella, until now. I am still your instant driver and caretaker whenever you get drunk." I said while shaking my head in disbelief. But it is not a big deal for me. After all, he is the friend who is always there for me. "Shut up, Villarante. I want my baby." Raiko whimpered, but I could still hear
Amari's Point of View "Hey, Fleur. Don't you remember me?" I wonder who this man is in front of me. He ran his fingers through his hair. I remained stunned by him. He laughed, which caused his dimples to appear on his right cheek. And because of that, it registered in my memory who he was. "Klaus Devera?" I surprisingly asked. Klaus's smile grew wider. "The one and only" Klaus jokingly replied. I remained silent, and he chuckled once again. "How are you, Fleur?" Klaus added and smiled at me. "I'm fine, you? How are you?" I replied after I recovered from being astounded. "By the way, come in." I offered. It would not be polite if I didn't invite Klaus inside my unit. "Is it okay to come in?" I smiled and nodded to him. I opened the door wide and let him go in first. "What do you want? Coffee or tea?" He smiled at me and then looked around my unit. He seemed like a supervisor in how he looked in every part of my hotel unit. "Is there any coffee?" He replied while stil
Amari's Point of View As I entered my unit, I immediately called Crisha's number. I don't know what is happening between the two siblings, but I wanted to warn her. "Fleur?" Crisha spoke on the other line. I frowned at her hoarse voice but did not bother to ask anymore. "Crisha, sorry for calling. Did I disturb you?" I asked Crisha because it was a bit late. After all, I might have disturbed her sleep. "No, it's fine. Why were you called?" Crisha asked. I bit my lip and wondered if telling her about her cousin, Klaus, was right. "Fleur?" Crisha hollered my name from the other line. "Crisha, Klaus is from my unit." I closed my eyes at what I said. There was a part of me that I did not want to tell about it, but I was more worried about Crisha. I know Klaus is a strict cousin. Regarding what he told me, I don't know what could happen if the news that reached Klaus was true. "Klaus?!" Crisha's response. And even though she is not in front of me, I can tell she is shocked. "
