After being treated by the paramedics, hinanap ko si Octavia, only to find out that she went back to Athena Palace. Huh, grabe naman mang iwan tong babaeng to. Dodging the medias and the police, bumalik na ko sa Athena Palace and entered the room kung saan ko siya 'nahuli'. Ugh, still embarrassed of what happened

I saw a big lump on the bed and I knew it was her. Dahan dahan akong lumapit at tinanggal ang kumot na nakataklob sa kanya as I felt my heart break at the scene

A crying Octavia, shaking and whimpering. She looked like an innocent child who got beaten up by other kids on something

"E-Elaina..." she sobbed at niyakap ko naman siya. Why was she crying? I hugged her waist, protecting her from anything. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari sa kanya but I will do anything to protect her

"I-I'm sorry I didn't protect you... f-from that guy... I-I'm sorry..." Octavia whimpered. Oh, so that was what she was crying about? She's so worried for me that she's crying?

She's so freaking adorable!

"Hey, I'm alright, see?" sambit ko as she only stared at me, sniffling and hugged me more. Ahh, my heart is in shambles at this adorable sight!

"M-Mhm..." Niyakap pa niya ko ng mahigpit and I am so lucky that I got arranged with this girl! Hell, she's too precious to be married off to someone else! At makikipagpatayan pa ko sa aagaw sa kanya

I patted her head "It's alright, princess, it's okay" ani ko at niyakap din siya ng mahigpit. Pahina ng pahina ang mga hikbi niya and I didn't expect na makatutulog siya sa akin

Hindi siya nakakatakot or intimidating kapag tulog siya. She's just her peaceful self. Pinunasan ko ang nabasa nyang pisngi dahil sa pag-iyak niya at hinalikan ang noo niya. Even if she's the most wealthiest person in the world that rules the strongest mafia, I will still protect this girl whether it costs my life

2 Years Later...

"Looks like you've already reached adulthood, my love" malambing sabi ni Octavia sa akin and I held her waist to kiss her. Finally, I've reached my age and this year, sabay kaming gagraduate ni Octavia sa Senior High

"I'm expecting you to be a good dancer later, princess" ani ko at hinalikan siyang muli. She chuckled "Oo naman, magaling kaya akong sumayaw ng waltz" Octavia replied. Hinalikan ko ang pisngi niya at inayos ang coat niya "Siguraduhin mo lang" sambit ko

"And make sure to ready your gift for me" I spoke seductively which made her blush. We both know what I am talking about as she nodded "O-Of course, Mommy.." sagot ni Octavia. I smirked at her as I kissed her neck "I'm not going to mark you but I will later, mkay?" tumango ulit siya as the doors swung open to reveal Kreios and Mom, which made Octavia move away from me

"Oh, my sweet little girl, turning into a woman already" ani ni Mom at lumapit sa akin. Iniayos naman ni Octavia ang sarili niya and left with Kreios to talk with him. I wish I could tease her more but I'll do it later after the party. Ngumiti ako ng matamis kay Mom "Thank you, Mom" I said habang niyakap naman niya ko ng mahigpit

It has been 2 years. 2 years since that incident where my father had married me off to the wealthiest person in the world. 2 years ever since he tried to harm both me and Octavia. After all of that incident, he was gone. He went dark with no information about him. The last thing I knew about him is that he joined the Italian Mafia, according to Octavia

"I want to give you my gift early para masuot mo mamaya" Mom spoke as she gave me a small black box. Tinignan ko siya ng makahulugan as I opened it, which made me teary eyed. It was a gold necklace with my gemstone in it but it wasn't the one that made me teary-eyed, the very short letter na nakalagay ang nagpaluha sa akin

Happy birthday, my sweet little girl. Mommy's always here to support you. I love you

Niyakap ko ng mahigpit si Mom and thanked her for the gift she gave me. Napaluha na din si Mom as we both laughed "Naku, mahuhulas tuloy ang make up natin, anak" sambit niya habang tumatawa

I hugged her once again and I can't help but look forward to the party. I also look forward to my dance with Octavia

After our little dramatic scene, nagpaalam si Mom na lalabas muna siya upang makipag usap sa mga kumare nya na inimbitahan ko na rin. Almost everyone sa school ay imbitado dahil nabalik na ko bilang President. I told Octavia to invite some investors o di kaya ang board members ng kumpanya niya to keep her sane but she waved the thought of, saying na birthday ko ito and she wouldn't want to keep working

Inimbita ko naman ang pamilya niya but she refused to let me invite her grandmother and her mother. I agreed on not inviting her mother after the incident 2 years ago but I handed her grandmother an invitation personally

She was quite nice to me kahit na alam kong pakitang tao lang ito. She's not hostile at the moment

Pumasok si Kreios at Mnemosyne na dalawang taon nang nakatira sa mansyon namin ni Octavia. Mnemosyne squealed in happiness. After all, mas close na kami, lalo na pag wala si Octavia

She was 2 years older than me kaya naman para akong nagkaroon ng ate sa loob ng bahay "Oh my Lord, you look so pretty, Violette!" sambit nito

"Pero mas maganda pa rin ako so" ani niya na ikinatawa ko "Baliw. Ako pa rin maganda noh"

"Baka ako na yung maganda kung pagdedebatihan niyo yan" Kreios spoke as we laughed "Sige, Magandang Kreios" Mnemosyne teased na mas lalo kong ikinatawa

2 years na kaming kasal ni Octavia and in that duration of time, I got to live my best life with these two that I treat like my own siblings
