Elizabeth mendobrak pintu ruangan.
Gadis dalam balutan gaun hitamnya itu menatap sang kakak dengan air mata menggenang. “Noah, apa itu benar?!”
“Jangan berteriak,"bisik sang kakak menghela nafas. "Pesta masih berlangsung.”
“Kalau begitu, katakan bahwa ucapan Jennifer Gellert, salah!” Elizabeth menuntut Noah. “Apa mengendalikan hidupku tak cukup, sampai kalian perlu mengendalikan pernikahanku juga?”
“Itu adalah sesuatu yang harus dilakukan.”
Ucapan Noah masih begitu tenang, hingga Elizabeth memiliki keinginan untuk memukulnya. “Jika label kita dapat bekerja sama, kita akan mendapat keuntungan lebih.”
Gadis itu menarik nafas, mundur hingga genggaman kakaknya terlepas darinya. Dia berbalik, menyambar sebuah gelas di atas meja dan meneguknya.
Ini bukan minuman keras — air.
Sayang sekali!
Dia sebenarnya begitu menginginkan alkohol di sistemnya sekarang ini. Dia meletakkan gelas tersebut kembali.
“Elizabeth, kau harus mendengarkanku,” ucap sang kakak, “Ini adalah demi label kita. Gellert menggenggam industri sekarang — kita akan memiliki kesempatan lebih sebagai rekan.”
“Rekan?" ulangnya. “Kalau begitu, kenapa tak kau nikahi saja Jennifer?”
“Dia terlihat seperti wanita yang pantas. Bukankah begitu?”
“Tapi, Jennifer bukanlah pemiliknya,” ucap Noah.
Pria itu mencengkram lengan Elizabeth tiba-tiba.
Perlahan, gadis itu melemah--membiarkan sang kakak membuka mulut tentang apa yang sedang direncanakan oleh ayah mereka.
Dan dalam setiap ucapan, Elizabeth merasakan matanya membulat, bibirnya terbuka untuk menarik nafas kuat.
Bugh!
Elizabeth mendorong sang kakak menjauh. “Aku tak mengenalimu sama sekali,” bisiknya. “Aku tak mengenalimu, atau bahkan Ayah. Keparat kau, Noah Alexander Leigh.”
“Elizabeth,” helanya, berbalik sementara dia meraih selendangnya, menutupi pundak dan membuka pintu, berlari ke luar. “Elizabeth, dengarkan aku.”
Tidak!
Dia takkan mendengar satu patah kata pun. Tidak malam ini. Tidak lagi. Tidak bahkan ketika dia melihat para tamu menyadari betapa gundahnya dia, atau pandangan wanita berambut kemerahan yang jatuh padanya, menaikkan alis.
Elizabeth dapat merasakan kejaran kakaknya, membuatnya mengangkat roknya dan turun ke tangga, masuk ke dalam mobilnya sendiri.
“Rumah Pentious,” bisiknya.
Sang supir menganggukkan kepala, menyalakan mesin dan membawanya pergi jauh dari rumahnya sendiri.
Jauh dari perjodohan tiba-tiba yang dia alami.
Jauh dari siasat jahat ayah dan kakaknya.
Gadis itu mengusap rambutnya, menarik pita yang menjadi bagian dari jalinannya dan melepaskannya, membuat rambutnya sendiri tergerai, bersamaan dengan sarung tangan yang menutupi hingga sikunya.
“Ayah masih membencinya,” dia mengingat ucapan Noah. “Tak ada yang pernah melihat wajahnya. Tapi kau bisa mematahkan hatinya.”
Elizabeth menutup mata, meletakkan kepala di sandaran, merasakan pandangannya memburam karena air mata.
“Buat dia jatuh cinta padamu, dan buat dia memberikan segalanya untukmu — termasuk labelnya.”
Ayahnya adalah seorang yang terhormat. Begitu pula kakaknya. Dan betapa dia membanggakan mereka karena itu.
Bagaimana bisa mereka mempertaruhkan takdir pernikahannya untuk bisnis?
Elizabeth telah menerima takdir bahwa dia dan Pentious takkan pernah memiliki masa depan.
Namun menyadari bahwa dia akan mendapati dirinya terkekang hanya demi menghancurkan musuhnya adalah sesuatu yang akan begitu sulit untuk dia terima!
Bahkan jika dirinya begitu jahat, Elizabeth tahu bahwa dia takkan pernah menginginkan itu untuk musuh terbesarnya sekalipun.
Namun keluarganya begitu tak menganggapnya hingga membuatnya melakukan ini. Atau mungkin mereka begitu mengakuinya hingga dia ikut menjadi bidak yang sama dengan mereka?
Srak!
Elizabeth melemparkan sarung tangannya, terisak. Dia menyadari bahwa dia telah membuat canggung supirnya sendiri, yang tengah mengintip melalui cermin demi memastikan bahwa tuannya baik-baik saja.
“Menyetir saja,” perintahnya.
Dan itu membuatnya menganggukkan kepala kembali. Namun laki-laki tua itu meraih kotak tisu yang berada di sampingnya, diam. Dan Elizabeth menerimanya dengan penuh rasa syukur.
“Terima kasih.”
“Kau akan lebih baik di hari esok, Nona,” ucap Colm yang telah menjadi supirnya sejak dia kecil, sedikit terkekeh. “Kau selalu begitu. Kau dapat mengatasi masalahmu — aku yakin itu.”
Mendengar itu, Elizabeth mengangguk.
Namun, kali ini dia merasa tak begitu yakin.
Dia butuh Pentious segera!
Shee invited Denver inside the house and found the twins on the sofa and Sandra in the kitchen. Tina jokingly nudges his arms in sight."Doc's genes are beautiful, right? The children are both beautiful and charismatic."Denver didn't speak. He just stood there frozen until Demie approached him."Dada Kar?""Y-yes, sweetheart?""Carry me!" She enthusiastically threw her hands up in the air.Denver smiled and picked her up, "good morning, sweetheart."Demie leaned on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, then she said, "do you wanna be my Dad?"Tina heard it, turned to where Denver and Demie were, not far from where she was. She held back a laugh when she saw Denver's reaction change."Um—""Don't worry, Daddy Xyl will never know about it," Demie assured him.When his eyes met with Tina, she immediately went to the kitchen before bursting into laughter in the living room. Fck, that was so insane.Denver looked at Demie, studying her face. She looks — uh, innocent? Like she just asks Denver
"How’s the trip?" Sandra asked.It was already six in the evening, and Denver was carrying Demie while holding Denie's hand, who was wiping his eyes as if he had just woken up from a quick nap."Momma," Denie lifted his arms, wanting to be carried by his mother.Sandra opened the door and let them in. They went straight to the kids’ room, and Denver gently placed Demie down on the bed."Thanks," Sandra said.The kids wanted to go out and play, but Sandra didn’t have time because she was busy with her new winter collection. Once the kids were settled in bed, Sandra turned to Denver, who was standing by the doorframe, looking directly at her. She immediately felt a warmth spread to her cheeks. She quickly tried to push it out of her mind and cleared her throat."I'm sorry for troubling you. I just couldn’t let the twins go on their own, especially without their nanny," Sandra explained."No worries, I enjoyed watching them too," Denver replied.There was a long silence between them. Fro
Denver had planned to invite Sandra out on a date, but when it started raining, they decided instead to pick up the kids from the nursery school. They were overjoyed when they saw Denver, and the kids ran to him for tight hugs. When they got home, the twins immediately ran to Xyl when they saw him with their godmother, Grace.“Daddy!” the twins shouted in unison and ran towards Xyl.Xyl was holding Denie, while Grace was carrying Demie. If Denver didn’t know the twins were Sandra’s kids, he would have thought Xyl and Grace were a couple.“Daddy, I miss you,” Demie said sweetly to Xyl, which made Sandra laugh.“Really? ‘Cause Daddy misses you even more!”“Ninang Gracey, you’ll stay with us, right?” Denie leaned against Grace’s chest.“Maybe? Ask your Dad. If he stays, I’ll stay too,” Grace teased Denie.“Why didn’t you tell us you were coming home? I don’t have any groceries!” Sandra complained angrily.She was just joking. Thankfully, they came home right away, or else the kids would
It’s been a week. She had already brought the twins back to the Philippines, but they were staying at Xyl’s house. She didn’t want to bring the kids to the hospital, nor did she want the Ybarras to see them. At least if they asked Xyl, he would say that they were his right away. He loved to claim them, so when the kids were asked who their father was, they would point to Xyl.Sandra was working on her computer when suddenly the machine started beeping wildly. She stood up and looked at Denver, who was staring at her with red eyes.“You’re awake,” Sandra said, pressing the button at the bottom of the bed to notify the nurses.“How are you feeling?” she asked Denver in a soft, tender tone. The machine started beeping crazily again, and when she looked at Denver, he smiled. “What?”He opened his mouth, but he couldn’t speak. When the doctor and nurse arrived, Sandra moved aside so they could properly check Denver. She just stared at them while they asked her questions, and she responded
"WHY are you only telling me this now?" Sandra said angrily as she looked at the twins' nanny.She had been away for business, and something had happened that she just found out about now. If the kids hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn’t have known. But, truth be told, she couldn't really blame the na
"ARE you home?" Sandra asked the nanny over the phone."We just arrived, Ma'am," the nanny replied."Alright. I'm coming home," she then ended the call.She's nervous. All of a sudden, she feels like something is wrong. She definitely sees the determination in his eyes. When she looked in the mirror, s
"WHO are some famous fashion designers you admire?" The editor asked Sandra."Amara Froster from Rarissime," Sandra answered."Oh, the famous Lady Amaral Not surprised though, everyone loves that lady," the editor laughed."Yeah, she was just my favorite courtier and we become friends accidentally.""Ho
