Chapter 30

I adjusted myself as I got into the car Luca had provided. Holding the strand of the romper so as not to fall off, I rummaged in my bag and took the jacket inside.

"Where are we going now ma'am?" I wiped the tears from my cheeks. I still can't move on. Shit!

"In Royale Village please." I’m on my way to my real mother. For now I seriously needed a shoulder to lean on. For so how many years, atlast I can feel the care of a real mother. The driver stopped at the right block. I immediately saw the tailor with those workers inside. My heart pounded. I felt happy and sad.
Behind the sewing there is a small house and a wide field full of flowers. So, this is my mother's house? I adjusted myself before knocking on the sewing door. They looked at me and I heard a seamstress shout.

"Zamara! You have a visitor! She’s beautiful."

"Who's the guest?" modest voice I heard before I saw woman. Even in her age .. she looks like a teen ager. Her brown hair, pointed nose and her brown eyes really reminds me of myself. Her fierce aura even her modest voice could not deny that. In the photo of my longing mother it was more gentle than my real mother. Same face but different aura. I already know where I inherited.

"M-ma?" my voice trembled. She quickly opened the door and seemed hesitant to touch me. She covered her mouth and tears flowed. I shivered when I heard her sob. My heart leaped as she hugged me. Too tight. Everything around seemed to be in slow motion. I smiled even though tears blurred my cheeks and hugged her back.

"Ma." I could no longer speak . Even her, could no longer embrace a word. We were content to sob and cry. It took a few minutes .. I didn't feel tired. All the pain, suffering, and the bereavement… I poured all my emotions into crying and hugged my real mother.

I was sitting on the long sofa and watching my mother work hard to prepare my meal. As for me, I'm not used to it but I'm very comfortable with her movements. I watched her every move. I seem to want to memorize that in my mind.

She laid the strawberry cake and juice on the table. The smile was wide on her lips despite the dim eyes.
"I'm sorry .That's all I can offer you. Why didn't you text me?"

I shook my head and smiled.
"I want to see you m-ma." My voice trembled and my throat went dry. Even my mother is in my front but Savier still occupied my mind. I want to talk to mom but I can’t start where and how. She leaned over me and held my two hands.

She’s the woman, scandalized years ago outside our gate. The woman that forcefully pushed by the guard before. The woman called me Amara. That's my mother.

"How are you ?! I heard you finished Business Management? In Italy, right?" she says happily.

I nodded and smiled. "Yes. But, modeling is my job now. But I'm also planning on my dad's company."

Mama's face became serious. "Did you visit him hija?" I shook my head.

"I know what Henry did to you before hija. I know what he did to Savier." I stared mother in the eye. I was Shocked because he knew Savier.

"Do you know Savier?"

"Why not? Ofcourse!" She gasped and smiled. "Savier helped me to stand by my own back then when I had nothing. When Henry kicked me out and took you from me Savier helped me . I was there the time you left him. I saw how much he hurt , Amara. I saw how he lost hope when you left. "
Yes, my real name is Amara Dela Rama.

I bent down and bit my lip. Fuck. My heart were hurting. " I leave for him. That's for him mama .."

Mom nodded. "I know. Nana Sena told me everything. Henry is too addicted to gambling. Now his company is failing because he's sick."

"I am planning to meet dad's lawyer ma."

"You must, before that is taken away by the Santiagos . I don't want the pressure they did to you . If only I had a position and had a fight I would have helped you."

"I can do it. Somehow I already know something about the business."

"I also don't like your last name , Santiago. You already know what to do . I know that everything you do is for everyone. So now I know what you will do for everyone as well."

We stared at each other for a long time. Our eyes seemed to understand each other. She's really my mother. She knew that leaving Savier was for the good of all. She also knows what I will do now. Also for everyone and myself.

It was late at night when I left my mother's house. I went back to the unit reserved for me and saw Caleb outside. In the basement.

"Oh! Caleb ? You didn't text me! "

"I have something to tell you Rox."
I blinked and nodded. I let him into my unit. He sat on the sofa while I looked at him seriously.

"Why, what happened?"

"We need to annul our marriage , Rox." He told me seriously.

"Yeah .. that's the plan, right?"

"Yes, I mean, soon. My fathers want your company so much, Roxette! I don't want them stealing your company's money."

"Fuck ?! You mean while papa is sick they steal from us?"

"With your father's great trust Roxette he trusted everything. But I know Savier making his move."

"What ?!" I rubbed my forehead and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

He smirked. "Your man is such a beast. I know my family very well. They are Dazzled by Savier's money so Savier now has more shares in Dela Rama’s Company. But still .. it's still with us because we're married. I am so stress barging to my parents but I don't want to handle your company! And fuck Roxette! You're sister is pregnant! " he violently combed his hair with his hand.

I scratched my forehead and blushed. I looked at him angrily. "You're a mother fucker. You're my husband but you got my sister pregnant ?!" I said, laughing. I just can't believe it!

"Shut up, Rox! I'm fuck up!"

"Then you have to be responsible with my sister! "

"So we have to annul, right ?! We'll see my lawyer tomorrow!" Caleb and I smiled and laughed. We look so stupid.

"Fuck I am going to be a father. Shit!" he was still smiling as the smile gradually faded from me as I remembered my previous pregnancy and the baby was gone.


Before I went to sleep, Luca called me that the Royale 'Company had approved of me. I never thought Savier would do that despite from what happened. Tomorrow I will do my first photo shoot with an expensive Royale Company accessories. They owned some expensive accessories in different part of Asia. I didn't know Savier was so rich. Fuck! He can make girls strip in just a snap!

I immediately called Caleb to postpone our meeting with his lawyer because of my photo shoot. Of course he knew Savier, so he agreed.

I was so nervous when I entered the tower building of the Royale 'Company. I think up to the 40th floor this building is very tall. Luca and I immediately escorted by the two women to a studio.

I have my own dressing room. I was amazed at the jewelries that were in the crystal box. "Jusmiyo! It cost a million bella !”
Luca's eyelashes were already palpitating when he saw the glowing necklaces and earrings.

My muscles tremble. I can't seem to wear them! One shining necklace caught my attention. I stopped putting powder on me by my make up artist to take a look at the necklace.

With trembling hand I took it and stroked the letter “A” pendant enclosed in a circle. It felt strange to me to touch it. It starts with a letter A. I want to laugh. I assume too. Sav hates me and he won't be able to make me a necklace that I love so much!

"And their model is too cute! Bella '!

"You're kidding me, Luca." I avoided looking at the necklace and focused on my make -up. I am said to be the highest paid model of the company. I doubt it. Not really. Luca did not stop praising me. While I wore black lingerie 'and black boots. My hair is curly. I was wearing the necklace with the A pendant. The long earrings and watch they would love. Every flash of the camera I used to pose what I wanted.

"Very good! One more!" shout of the camera man. I smiled and winked at the camera. When they opened the door Savier entered the studio. I was almost stunned by him because of the whispers around. I saw how Luca bit his lip when he saw Sav folding his arms. Talking to one of the cameras man. But the gaze remained on me.

"Uh! Miss Dela Rama! I think you need a break." The camera says anyway. I nodded and immediately left the square box I was sitting in. Did I just close my eyes to realize that he saw me posing for the camera? Shit? I went into my dressing room and searched for the robe. I heard the door open.

"Oh gosh Luca! Savier is here! He saw my poses ?! It's embarrassing! Was my face okay ? Is it beautiful?" I asked hysterically as I turned around and looked for the robe hanging.

"Luca-" I was stunned. It’s not Luca with me here inside but Savier. "Savier? W-What are you doing here?" I was embarrassed when he looked at me. I'm wearing lingerie! He heard my rebuke earlier ?!

"I am the owner. Why so shock?" His serious answer. Leaning against the door and serious face. Does that mean he's the same with his other models? He’s here while the models are doing their works, maybe. Oh right.

I blinked and swallowed. "What do you need?" I put on the clothes and combed my hair. He took off his clasped hand and slowly approached me.

"Pack up. You'll come with me. We're leaving tomorrow." Startled, I turned to him. What?

"W-What? Another photo shoots -"

"No photoshoots. Just you and me." My eyes widened but I also immediately withdrew and took seriously what I remember.

"I-I can't. Caleb and I have a talk tomorrow."
Yes, it's true. We will see his lawyer. Sav's jaw tightened. That's why I avoided. I would have sat up when he pulled my elbow and I faced him. He looked down at the necklace with the A pendant. It peeked at the robe. He looked back at me.
"I'll forget everything Roxette. File an annulment. Come with me."
He sounds so serious that no one seems to be able to break when he says that. His voice was definitely sure. I can't process that right away. He squeezed my waist before kissing me on the lips.

"File an annulment. Come with me. Let's talk, let's talk about all our problems." I couldn't answer because he kissed me again. Aggressively and earnest.

"Ay-!Excuse me first . I'll just take the condom-este bag!" Luca's shout that made us separated . I pushed Savier but he didn't move. My eyes rolled in embarrassment. I saw the grin on Luca's lips.

"Uhmm, Sav-." I groped for something to say. My heart is pounding because of what Luca has arrived. But Savier did not give up. He kissed me again.

"I'll call you later." He said hoarsely to me and I did nothing but nod even though I didn't know if I had a number of him. After A tight grip on my waist he immediately came out. Luca immediately threw his bag at me. .

"Ouch! What ?!"

“What ouch are you there !You think I didn't hear what he told you before? Oh, Roxette! You can really taste how hot he is! "
I blushed profusely at Luca's jokes at me. I didn't know what my decision would be. That night I was in bed. I couldn't sleep until my cellphone rang. My heart pounded because I knew who’s that.

"H-Hello." I answer the unregistered number.

"You're coming with me, Roxette." Savier not asking but it’s commanding.

I closed my eyes so tight and took a deep breath. "Y-Yeah .. I'll come with you." I blushed when I heard him swear sharply.
