Chapter 111 – Red's My Motif
(Aya’s POV) Deidre was a plague that had poisoned my sanity. After reading her post on her social media page, I have been post-stalking her, and her picture with Red at one of the dinner parties they attended made my nights sleepless. The other day, I told Dante I would be in the library and asked him to pick me up at eight in the evening, but as soon as I entered the building, I escaped from him and my bodyguard, exiting through the backdoor of the college building. I went to The Pacific to see if anyone would recognize me, and it hurt to know that Deidre was right. The security was tight, and I almost did not reach the front desk to ask for Red’s office. The two receptionists were stricter than the security guard, asking me for IDs, pertinent papers, or some sort of invitation before calling the person I needed to talk to. I could ask for Mike or Leslie, but I had already drowned myself in sadness, walking out of the building crying like a lost child in the taxi going home, forgett

Chapter 112 – Not Coming Home
(Aya’s POV)I was mainly staring blankly out the window on my way to my mother, and while in the taxi, I was out of reach, not bothering to turn on my cell phone even when I reached the cemetery. This was my first time going here alone as I was always afraid the dead would rise from their grave like in the horror movies, but I had no one to talk to except my mother.After paying the taxi driver, I hiked the long pathway to find my mother’s grave. When she died, Aunt Mae insisted my mother’s remains join their parents in the same lot instead of placing her in a public cemetery. This was more like a hike in a big park, but still and quiet. “Hi, mom!” I sat crossed-legged on the grass in front of the gravestone. “Miss me, Grandma? How are you doing, Grandpa?” I sighed and looked heavenward. “I... Mom, I know we’re not as close as you were to Myra, but I really wanted someone to talk to.”I covered my face with my palms as I sobbed. I was closer to my father but would not dare break his

Chapter 113 – The Answer To the Question
(Aya’s POV)“Are you out of your mind, Aya? Why did you just leave like that without anyone knowing where you went?” Dad sniffled, hugging me. “What if something happened to you?”“I’m sorry, Daddy,” I murmured. “I’m sorry,” I mouthed at Dante, looking relieved to see me.“Was this about the interview?” My father asked, easing back and cupping my face. “I’m... I’m sure Red has an explanation about it.”“You saw it?” I asked, pursing my lips to avoid saying more.He scoffed. “It’s all over the news, and it spread like wildfire, but Aya, why don’t you talk to your husband about Deidre? I’m not saying I’m not disappointed with him, but he must have a reason for staying quiet, not answering their question.”“Then, he should not have kissed her back,” I gritted my teeth and hissed angrily, remembering how they kissed in front of the camera.My father raised his hands. “Talk to Red. That’s all I can say. Because even I got angry when I saw them kissing. But now... let me get you home so you

Chapter 114 – Go Away, Red
(Aya’s POV)“I... I never got my chance, Aya,” Red walked closer to me, but I raised my hand, facing my palm to stop him from coming to me.My nostrils flared in anger. “You made me believe it’s over between you and her.”“I meant to talk to her tonight, but Ariana called and told me they can’t find you,” he growled. “You expect me to just sit down and break up with her when my wife is missing?”“Now it’s my fault? I have seen your interview, Red. My face and Katie’s were all over the news, and what you damn care about is you don’t talk about your private life?” I was furious that I could not hold my tears.“What do you want me to do? Tell the whole world about you?” His eyebrows knitted, looking at me in dismay.“If you love me, Red, you should have told the whole world you’re married! As to whom, it didn’t matter!” I yelled furiously at him, clutching my shirt as I thought my heart would explode any moment.“And what? If I had answered their questions about my life, would they stop?

Chapter 115 – Begin Again
(Aya’s POV)“Red, let’s stop all this before we start hurting the kids,” I muttered after brushing my teeth.With the toothbrush still in my hand, I grabbed his hands and escaped from his embrace, almost dashing to the bedroom to get my bag.“Aya, you can’t do this,” he groaned as he followed me.“But you can?” I breathed out and gave him a sullen look. I smirked, shaking my head as I took off my wedding ring, placing it on the bed. “You... you... you’re suffering because I said yes to you. I should not have complicated your life and stopped you from proposing to Deidre.”I swallowed hard, hating that my tummy was bothering me and my head was throbbing in pain. I took my phone, the cards and cash from my wallet, placing them beside the ring.“You’re the one suffering because I begged you to marry me. You did not complicate my life, Aya. You made me feel alive again,” he clenched his teeth, suppressing a cry. “It’s my fau -”I raised my hand, stopping him from talking and closing my ey

Chapter 116 – My Life, My Happiness
(Aya’s POV)The entire drive going back to my apartment was tormenting. Only one car followed us, just Vin’s. It was like I was being stripped from my privileges, losing the man who would follow me discreetly, although I could still see him around. Or maybe he lost his job because of me.I was expecting Red to say something… anything... but when he parked the car in front of Addie’s apartment, he kept his lips pressed together. I tilted my head and looked at my apartment’s porch. Without my father at home, it was quiet and dark. I unfastened my seatbelt and got off the car without saying goodbye to him. Dante usually waited for my father or me to enter the door before driving away, but Red left as soon as I got out of the car. I waited until they were out of my sight and walked toward my apartment with my palm rubbing my growling tummy. I knew Addie and Leslie were still awake, but knocking on their door would mean explaining to my cousin what had happened today.I walked past thei

Chapter 117 – Deidre Happened
(Red’s POV)“You’re not just my happy meal, Red. You are my life. You are my happiness.” Her lips curved into a sad smile as she sighed. “This is nuts! I’m not asking you to feel the same, but I think it’s unfair.”She raised her hand, and her index finger poked my chest.“I don’t want to be selfish, but that heart... and you...” she chuckled bitterly, shaking her head. “You’re always entangled with someone. I’m not sure why I had to compete with the dead and one living, but completely insane about you.”“There’s no competition here.” I pulled Aya and wrapped my arms around her body. “You and the kids are my everything, Aya. I love you,” I whispered, kissing her head. “If you did not come into my life, I would not have moved on. But I hope you understand... You just can’t ask me to forget Scarlett.”“I’m not asking you to do that, Red,” she whispered. “Besides, there are five beautiful children that looked like you and her, and don’t get offended, but I’m happy they inherited their mo

Chapter 118 – The End
(Red’s POV)“Why do you want to find Myra and Katie’s father?” Aya whispered.Her eyes were filled with worries, blinking this time but still staring at me. She put the tub on the center table like she had lost her appetite in eating and turned to face me, waiting for my answer.Amusingly, it was the same question Mike uttered. “Why do you want to find Myra and Katie’s father?”“Because Katie is our daughter, Mike,” I answered my cousin but smiled at Aya, hoping to erase her worries away. “We knew Aya and Addie helped each other to provide for Katie, and my wife stood as her legal guardian since Myra left her in the hospital. I don’t have to tell you every bit of it, but Aya has been Katie’s mother ever since, and as her husband, I want a legal adoption of our daughter.”The tears shimmering in Aya’s eyes rolled down her cheeks.“Mike, let’s talk tomorrow morning, okay? You know that I have to be in different places abroad after tomorrow night.” I sighed, reaching for Aya’s hand and h

Chapter 119 – Back in Red's Arms
(Aya’s POV)Who doesn’t want a happy ending?I gazed at the most beautiful man I had ever met in my life, the one that completed me and my better half that I could not live without. Maybe we were impatient to get pregnant, or perhaps we just missed each other because as soon as we reached the hallway going to our bedroom last night, we were already kissing and touching.We made love, whispered promises, and got crazy, claiming each other in his office and then to his art room. I was glad we ended up in bed before running out of energy.Slowly, I moved toward the edge of the bed, not wanting to disturb Red in his sleep, but he startled me when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to his naked body.“Let’s sleep more, Aya,” he whispered, wrapping his arms around my body to imprison me.“I’d love to do that, Red, but it’s seven already.” I craned my neck and puckered my lips, kissing his jaw. “The kids -”“It’s the kids’ break, remember?” He said, pressing his lips to mine, his hand

Chapter 120 – What Would Aya Say
(Red’s POV)“Oh, God...” I swallowed hard, trying to process everything while I cried and wrapped my arms around Scarlett. “You’re... H-How? W-What happened to you?” I moved back, studying her face. “We... We looked for you and did not stop searching.”Scarlett lost weight, was pale, and looked sick. I did not even know where to begin, but she seemed to have lost her life and lived poorly. I lifted my hand, trailing the scar she had on her left cheek and arm. My heart cried for my wife, and I could not help hating myself for not being there for her. Her tears rolled down her cheeks as she cocked her head, her lips trembling, glancing at the children standing behind Violet.“I...” She shook her head and sobbed. “It’s a nightmare, sweetheart. Even now, I still vaguely remember ... I was on a plane, and...it was crashing.” Her shoulders trembled, and her hands were cold as she held my arms. “When I woke up, I could not remember anything, not even my name.” Her lips quivered as she sniffl
