Rodleigh's POV:"Congratulations!" Cianna and my family greeted us warmly. Cianna and I just got married. I can say that I am the happiest man in the world because unfortunately, I am married again with the woman I love so much.Yes, it is sad because our wedding was only held in the hospital. But that doesn’t matter anymore, the important thing is, Cianna and I are happy."Thank you." at the same time Cianna and I said."Congrats, Mom and Dad!" Our twins greeted us also happily."Thank you, babies!" Cianna said then she kissed the two on their cheeks. While I could not erase the smiles on my lips because of the great pleasure I feel."Thank you so much, love. I love you, always and forever." I told her then I hugged her tightly."Thank you also for loving me with all your heart." she replied and hugged me tighter."Love, I want to eat beef stew. Can you buy me one?" I was even surprised because of her sudden request, but in the end I still left to buy her beef stew outside."Auntie,
Fifteen Years Later.Lessandra's POV:"Teacher, teacher! Someone is looking for you outside!" At once my pupils said. I quickly got up from my desk and went outside to see who my guest was."You!" I flinched when I was suddenly pointed at by an unfamiliar man."Excuse me?" I said confusedly as I pointed to myself."How dare you to ranaway after getting the money that you've asked?" He said angrily. I was even more confused by what he said. What currency is he referring to?"Lessanna, you need to go home because my Grandpa is coming. He wants to see you. He wants to meet my wife—""Stop!" I never let him finished his words. I also quickly pulled him into a private place. It’s hard, we’re at school and I don’t want my pupils to see the way I talk to this guy. I don’t know what he’s saying."What are you saying? What wife?" I asked him annoyed. I don't really know him but if he speaks it's like we'll meet and I'm in arrears with him."Have you forgotten? Didn't you beg me to take you as
Lessandra's POV:I don’t know if I’m going to do it right. If this is the right thing to do just to be with my twin sister again. But I have already decided and I will accept that man's offer.Here I am today at Mom and Dad’s grave. Carrying white flowers, I slowly approached the tomb and laid there two baskets of flowers. I also took the white candles and lit them one by one in front of the picture of Mom and Dad.When I lit the candles, I looked up at the sky as if in the future and I was talking to Mom and Dad.Even before I could speak, I could feel my tears welling up immediately. I tried to stop crying by biting my lower lip."Mom, I really miss you and Daddy. Do you know that?" I cried talking to Mommy and Daddy while looking at their pictures."If I could just ask one wish, I would have wished for a long time that you were still here. Maybe, if you and Dad hadn't died right away, Lessanna wouldn't have run away, would she?" I kept talking to the two of them."But it doesn't ma
Lessandra's POV:"We're here." I looked out of Ashton's car when he said we had arrived at his Grandfather's Mansion. We are now in front of a big house, a palace-like house."I'm nervous." I said softly before I slowly removed my seatbelt."You don't have to be nervous." Smiling, he said. But he still didn't say enough so that I wouldn't be nervous, I seemed even more nervous."What if he doubts?" I couldn’t help but asked him."No, what you're thinking won't happen. Trust me. Just act like naturally." He said to lighten my spirits. I just forcedly smiled before nodding to him."Ashton!" His Grandfather immediately greeted him. Ashton greeted his Grandfather with open arms. They just hugged for a moment then his Grandpa patted his shoulder."So, do I have a great -grandchild with you?" he asked Ashton laughing. I winced at what I heard."Lessanna! I miss you, my granddaughter." He said laughing before hugging me and lightly patting my shoulder as well."I'm fine, Grandpa. I miss you
Lessandra's POV:"Thank you." I said softly after he escorted me to the opposite side of my apartment."Wait." I was shocked when he stopped me from just opening the door of his car so that I could get off."Why?" I asked confused."Can you just stay at home? I mean, you're my wife now." he added."Correction, your fake wife." I said while showing him my beautiful smile."Yeah. But what if Grandpa asks why we're not together?" he said suddenly. I could not speak for a moment because of what he said. But if you think about it, we haven't gotten to know each other very well yet so I'm also not comfortable living with him."Maybe you can find a way, can't you?" I asked him. He just looked into my eyes then he just shrugged."Living together is the only way, Lessandra." he said seriously so I swallowed."But I do not know you." my direct justification. He looked serious then he barely adjusted the necktie he was wearing. He didn't speak anymore so I let him know again that I was getting o
Lessandra's POV:After Ashley slapped and tweaked me, she immediately acted as if she had done nothing wrong to me.I slowly clenched my fist. I was just holding back from hurting her as well. Somehow I still have respect left in my body despite what she did to me."Don't make any mistake of telling my brother what I have done to you if you don't want me to do it again to you. Also, it's not the only thing I can do, my dear Lessanna. Do you understand?" she said emphatically as she fixed her make-up. I clenched my fist again. I also cleaned myself up after I went out of the bathroom first."Are you alright?" Ashton's opening question to me when I got back to our table. Perhaps, Ashton knew that her sister did not feel well for me because I could see the concern in his eyes.I slowly sat back in my chair then I just smiled at Ashton."Yes, I'm okay." I said. I also quickly took a glass of water and immediately drank it.Ashley didn't come back to our table either because a VIP costumer
Lessandra's POV:"Ashton!" I called Ashton when I saw him leaving the house. He was very well dressed and seemed to be chasing time. He stopped when I called him, but I knew he still didn’t pay attention to me because he was talking to someone over the cellphone."What?" he asked annoyed after he dropped the call of the person he was talking to earlier on the line."Where are you going? Are you coming home for dinner?" I asked him one question after another. He just frowned at me after he looked at the wristwatch he was wearing."Stop acting like a real wife, Lessandra! You're just my fake wife, remember?" I recoiled because of the sudden shaking of my knees. I fainted at the words he uttered in my face."I have to go, bye!" he added and left like he didn't care. When he finally left, I just sat on the floor while hugging my knees.I never thought that after my decision, my life would end like this. It's been a month since I moved in with him. At first, he's okay, we're okay. But as t
Lessandra's POV:"Why did you do that?" Ashton asked me coldly when we were outside. He also rubbed his sinuses then wiped his face with his two hands."I just think it's the right thing to do." My response was calm. His forehead furrowed even more then he became restless. He seems to wanted to do something he can’t do, so, he stops it."What are you doing here?" He asked again. I can see that he's still bothered. But he just didn’t know how to get the mess out of his mind."As what I've said earlier, I'm here for you." I answered him honestly. His eyes narrowed as he looked at me. I can see different emotions in his eyes, but none of them is familiar to me."Lessandra, tell me the truth, do you like me?" I don’t know where he got that idea and why that’s what he asked me. I couldn’t answer right away because I wasn’t ready for that question."Ex — excuse me?" I stuttered to say. I also recoiled because of his strange stare and the way he slowly approached me."Ashton—"Tsup!I close
