Diana Rose POV-When I woke up, the first thing I felt was my heavy body. This feeling is familiar and I don’t like it.I touched my forehead but what I touched was a wet cloth and after I looked at it; it was a small white towel that was warm and wet.“Good morning, Mira–Miracle?”I got up without seeing Miracle next to me. I looked for her in the bathroom of this room, but he was not there either.“Miracle?”I felt nervous when I couldn’t even see Miracle’s shadow. It’s not Miracle’s habit to leave without me in a place she doesn’t know or not saying to me.I hope I’m wrong in thinking that Alex plans to run away and take Miracle away from me.I left the room and when I went down, I met someone. “Did you see Miracle?”“Ys, ma’am, he is with Sir Alex—”“Where are they?”“In the kitchen, ma’am.”I couldn’t thank the maid anymore, instead I ran to the kitchen.When I saw Miracle, I breathed a sigh of relief.“Miracle...”Alex and Miracle looked at me together.“Mommy!” Miracle called
Diana Rose POV-The next day, my fever was better, with the help of Alex’s care.Yesterday I almost slept the whole day while Alex was watching over Miracle.Today, Miracle asked us to leave.After I fixed Miracle, I made her sit on the bed while waiting for Alex and I tried to call Ronald’s phone number again.I’ve been trying to contact Ronald’s phone number since yesterday, but it’s been unreachable. I wanted to let him know we were here at Alex’s mansion, but when I contacted his phone number, even once, I still couldn’t contact his phone number. I couldn’t help but worry about Ronald. I hope he’s doing fine.“Sorry if I’m late. Someone just called me.”“Daddy!”I looked at Miracle, who ran towards Alex, who picked up Miracle.“Are you excited about where we’re going, baby?” Alex asked.“Where are we going, daddy?” Miracle cutely pouted her lips.“Surprise, but
Diana Rose POV-The next day when I woke up, I didn’t get up right away because what hit me was the pain in my body. I can still feel how tired we were yesterday at the water park.“Mommy, I’m too lazy to get up but I want to play with daddy Alex.”I laughed a little at what Miracle told me. If she was also tired yesterday, how can I, especially Alex, who has been carrying Miracle for most of the day?“Do you and Alex have anything to do today besides play?” I ask. I hope we don’t leave now.“Yes mommy. Daddy Alex said he will teach me to ride a bike.”After a while, someone knocked from outside. “This is Alex. May I come in?”“Yes!” I answered, then got up.Whe Alex entered with a tray of food, Miracle got up and jumped on the bed. Wow, Miracle is full of energy.“Breakfast in bed.” After Alex put the tray on the bed, Miracle sat down.“Did you cook, daddy?”“No. I
[AFTER 3 MONTHS...]....Diana Rose POV-After I fixed Miracle, Ronald came right into our room.“Dad!”Miracle ran towards Ronald, who immediately picked up Miracle.“My baby got prettier,” Ronald said and then he kissed Miracle on the forehead.Ronald also approached me, then he gave me a peck of a kiss on the cheek. “Good morning, hon.”“Good morning too... Hon...” Ronald has been calling me that endearment for three months now, but I still can’t get used to calling him that.“You don’t have to force yourself to call me that, especially if you are not comfortable.” “Sorry...” I didn’t know that Ronald was aware of that.“You have nothing to apologize for, Diana.”Ever since we moved to Europe, Ronald and I with my daughter, whom he also considers his daughter—Miracle, I still haven’t regretted my decision.In the past
Diana Rose POV-As a professional and as a woman, I did not sabotage Isabelle’s make-up. I also did not hold back from doing her makeup since her makeup artist was not there. I still did everything I could to dominate her beauty even more.“Wow, you’re superb at makeup, Diana. No wonder—nevermind.”I think Isabelle was about to say in admiration of how I did my makeup during our senior high days.“If only I knew I would see you on my wedding day, I would make you my bridesmaid. I’m still your friend, right?”How could she ask that after she saw how I begged before because of her?“About that, little cute girl, Miracle, right?”“Close your eyes first.” I ordered coldly.After I sprayed the settings spray it dried and it was done.“You can go to the pictorial.” I said.“Diana, is Alex the father—”“No.” I cut off her question.Miracle might hear and wonder why Isabelle asked that.“Good.” Isabelle seemed to feel better. “She looks five years old. I thought I had ruined a family.”I clu
Diana Rose POV-THREE DAYS HAVE PASSED since Isabelle and I talked.I apologized to Isabelle for what happened to her because of what I did to her before, that she got involved in the hasty step I took.Isabelle, forgive me for what I did. She even thanked me because if she hadn’t been here in Europe, she wouldn’t have met the one he married.We even exchanged contact numbers. Also she made sure that she won’t tell Alex that I’m here, even Andrew and Zennie assured me they won’t tell Alex that I’m here because they don’t want to interfere.“Mommy, I want that milk.”Today is our grocery day. Ronald should be with us when we go grocery shopping because it is also one of the three of us bonding.We actually set aside a day for this day, but Ronald had an emergency meeting, so he just drove us here. He made sure that he would fast up so that he could still bond with Miracle.“Let’s buy your snac
Alex POV-I stopped reading the business proposal and looked at my secretary, who caught my attention.“What did you say, Erwan?” I ask him while glaring at him.I noticed him swallowing and breathing deeply, a sign that he was nervous. He should be, because I didn’t like what he said.“I have to reschedule your flight this coming Friday and make it Saturday morning because you have an urgent meeting, sir.”“Cancel that meeting or re-schedule that meeting. You know, going to Europe every Friday until Sunday morning is my only rest.”“But sir—”I looked more closely at Erwan.“Copy sir. Cancel or reschedule the meeting. There should be no schedule from Friday to Sunday morning. I will go first, sir.”When Erwan came out, there was another person who entered. I didn’t even bother talking to Andrew. I have to finish all my work now.I don’t know if I should be grateful that Andrew h
*[FIVE YEARS AGO...]*......Alex POV-I waited for Diana to tell me her secret, too. I waited for her to trust me like how she trusted Andrew but it ended up that I did everything to make her feel I can do everything for her, that I can gamble everything for her until I gave her last chance at the white night holiday ball.As I expected that day, no other students went to the garden, so I carried out my plan. I decorated the garden with many lights, a table for two, foods that I often see her eating. Above all, I even bought fresh strawberries from Baguio, Philippines.When the night came I stayed here in the garden to wait for Diana but it didn’t take long, I went to the entrance and as I was going to the close gymnasium I saw Diana, her beauty was not the only thing that caught my attention if not as well as what she is holding. That’s why when he went inside and no one was looking, I took what s
