ARA was startled when she saw herself in the mirror. "What have you done to me, Salem. "
"What?" Salem said innocently to Ara "I told you you were beautiful."She was stunned by her reflection, that was the first time she looked like a decent woman. She was wearing a unique sheath one shoulder long sleeve black, a long fitted black evening gown with a slit. Salem curled her short hair and put thin makeup on her face to make her look perfect."This black evening dress is perfect to cover the scars that should not be seen." Sambit ni Salem pagkatapos ay pinanggigilan ang kanyang mukha "You look like a goddess— Let them bow to you," Salem said then put the thin necklace on her neck.Ara looked at her reflection from head to toe."Is this what I look like? If my parents hadn't died?." she murmured.She woke up to her senses when Salem answered "No matter what happens, it's still you... Just chin up, And believe that you are beautiful— buARA was with Salem at the table who did nothing but drink wine. While Zandro, Than, and Zyl were socializing and investigating what was going on around them."Don't drown yourself in wine!" she scolded Salem."Why?!— I work all week without a break, maybe I deserve to have fun even just a little bit? right?!." Salem said who already drowned in drunkenness.Zyl suddenly came and snatched the bottle of wine that Salem was holding "Give that back to me?!" Salem shouted. "No!, That’s enough, have you forgotten the reason why we are here?" Zyl whispered emphatically in Salem's ear."Y-yeah I know—" Salem rolled her eyes then crossed her arms "Did you forget that I am a sniper and not a fighter?. Take care of your work... while me?!, I'll just drink alcohol all night long.""Pasaway ka talaga!" Zyl exclaimed. Ara lowered her champagne, nagpaalam siya kay Zyl na magiikot muna. "I'll just look for the first Archon."
THE Tyrant's eyes were emotionless as he sat and faced his transaction partners. The people inside are laughing as they smoked cigarettes and sip wine. "Why don't you even speak Regan?" Asked the mocking man who was staring at the Tyrant. "Why would I talk to someone who doesn't respect me as the Tyrant?!" His response was cold as ice and dark like an abandoned forest. "Don't be so mean Regan, just relax and let's have fun, especially since I brought the new product" said a man, just as he was about to take out the case when the door suddenly opened.The Tyrant smiled half and crossed his arms while watching his ace do the job for him.Everyone's attention is focused only on kay Ara "Hija, You seem to be lost?!." Said the man who had teased the Tyrant earlier.Ara didn't say a word and then slammed the door shut. “Am I?" she uttered. Ara slowly walked in and then sat in the vacant seat. She looked coldly at the peopl
THEY were inside the lobby and talking about what happened at the event.Ara was emotionless and remained silent. She just looked at the first Archon holding his nape while suppressing his anger. Zandro found out about the attack that happened in the parking lot. That's why he was so angry. "There was a policy but someone still tried to violate it! Sinasagad talaga nila ang pasensya ko" he exclaimed. "Wait—" Zyl replied while still focused on the laptop "He is the butler of Don. Aris!—"Zandro slammed the table hard and irritated with anger "Ang lakas ng loob niya!!—" "Aris is dead," Zyl said everyone was surprised but Ara remained unresponsive. She trusted her Papa Regan to clean up her mess."What do you mean?" Zandro asked and frowned."Someone killed the leader of the syndicate on the day of the event, and in my opinion, they blamed us for what happened," Zyl replied then caressed his chin because of confusion.
ARA got out of the car, she was surprised to see the sea so she turned to the first Archon and raised her left eyebrow "Where are we going?" she asked. "Palawan" Zandro replied then grabbed her hand and pulled her into the yacht. She was shocked and saw the bed and pillows lying on the yacht floor near the deck. "what are you planning? I'm starting to get scared" Ara said then let go of Zandro's hand and walked around inside the yacht. "You don't intend to take advantage of me, do you?" Ara asked and smiled to annoy Zandro then crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him."If I had planned that, I should have done it earlier in the car" Zandro mischievous replied then put his hand in his pocket.Gradually the smile disappeared from her lips then her cheeks turned red so she immediately turned around and picked up the pillow on the bed.Zandro laughed then walked closer to Ara "If you want, just take advantage of me, I'm will
ARA WOKE up early in the morning, they were already inside the room of the yacht while Zandro was sleeping soundly next to her.She looked at the time and it was five o'clock in the morning. She slowly removed Zandro's arm that was wrapped around her waist and slowly stood up to get dressed. She didn't want to get caught because of her tattoo, like last night when Zandro almost saw her tattoo. It's just that Zandro knew that she wasn't comfortable with the light on so he turned off the light when he remembered her condition then.She was already wearing her undies and shorts when Zandro woke up. "Beautiful" Zandro murmured. Ara covered her chest when she saw him staring at her naked body. Zandro smiled slightly while the drowsiness was still obvious in his eyes "I kissed and touched that many times, why are you still shy?. You should be proud of your beautiful body" he said then held out his hands "Come here, sleep next to me again, it's still too early."
ZANDRO was restless while driving to the Villa because of Ara's silence. He couldn't stand it anymore so he speaks "I'm sorry, I won't do it again... I don't know how to tame a woman, and like Nanny Rose said, I don't believe in marriage but it looks like I'm about to believe now—"Ara sighed and looked at Zandro "There is no happy ending like fairy tales, We will also die when the time comes." "Ang nega mo—" ani Zandro pagkatapos ay sumimangot "Malay mo naman we will be the proof that forever exist in this world.""Are we going to end up together in the end!?. If so, then that's a nightmare." Ara said in retaliation to Zandro "If for the rest of my life I can be with someone like you?, I rather die now" she added.Zandro stopped the car and glared at Ara "Your words are so harsh, Remember every word that you said!— you will eat your words when the time comes and kneel before me to marry you" he said. Ara laughed and slapped Z
WHEN Ara woke up at dawn, Zandro was next to her again and was sleeping soundly. She sighed and look at his attractive face. "What are you doing to me?, why do I lose my sanity with just a little tenderness of yours— I must hate you and not love you—" she thought.Ara felt uneasy, her plan does not include liking him but why when the heart dominates you can do nothing but follow it. because no matter what you do to restraint, when your heart has betrayed you you will go crazy. She was afraid of the possible consequences, What if Zandro finds out her secret?. that was the end of it all. "I shouldn't let my heart feel this way. I don’t want to keep my feelings a secret, but I can't have you— many barricades will stand in the way between the two of us. We can't be together, and when you find out about my identity, you will hate me." she gasped at the thought and slowly got up and got dressed then left the room to get a glass of water. The mansion owned by
"SAY it again," Zandro said while holding Ara's hand. "Say what?" Ara said as she frowned and raised an eyebrow at him. "What you said to Dasha— say it again, but in front of me. Tell me you love me."Ara slowly lowered her gaze and slowly withdrew her hands. "You already heard it, why do I have to repeat it?.""I want to hear it again, I want to hear it as I watch the movement of your lips so I can be sure that what I heard is correct.—" Zandro said then touched Ara's chin so that she looked straight at him. "I— c-can't" Ara stuttered and then backed away slightly.Zandro lost his smile and was disappointed to hear it from Ara “W-hy?—" he said almost in a whisper "Why can't you say it again? Is it that hard to love me? Or even like?" Zandro mumbled then grabbed his nape. He thought his courtship had been a success but that was not what was happening "What else do I need to do ?, do I still need to kneel and beg?" When Zandro
