Saginsia's POV.
Savia went to Pearl as I talked to Robert while signing the check to properly purchase the pearl. "How will you use the Pearl if your going to give it to Savia?" Robert asked as I smiled.
I know that Savia won't accept the Pearl especially that I bet a hundred billion for it. "I think saving that girl is enough for her." I said as Robert passed the checked.
"Are you about to take this relationship truly sir?" he asked as I nodded. "I am, I will ask her about our second wedding if what are his insights." I said as he just nod.
"Is there something wrong with that?" I asked as he shook his head. "Nothing at all sir," he answered as I smiled.
"You've started to change Sir," he said as I smiled.
"Yeah I quite did." I answered.
I pause when I saw my brothers talking to the auctioneer. I bet they where asking about me and what kind of product did I purchase and how much.
I saw the glimpse of Luci but he disappeared in the crowd. I look at Robert thinking he knew something about this.
"I bet you saw them too sir," he said as I nodded.
"Why are they even here for?" I asked as he smiled. "They are here for you sir," he said. "Why?" I asked.
"They want to confirm your relationship with Savia." He said.
"Are they even serious?" I asked since this is none of their business already. "Yes sir, I bet they are waiting for you to do something embarrassing to tell it to Achilles." He explained.
Achilles huh,
My grandfather.
The person that we all look up too and is running an underground business.
"Lucca will be meeting you shortly after your trip." He added. "The Belladoma are planning t have a conversation with Saginsia huh?" I asked as he nodded.
"Another thing sir, That child have a mother." He said.
"Then lets purchase her mother."
"We cannot use her mother Sir," Robert said as I smiled. "But that child's future is better off with a mother." I said as he nodded and went to talk to the stuffs.
I was about to follow Robert when I receive a call from my Mother.
My real mother.
My brothers are not in favor of me since I'm a product of mistake and lust.
Their mother was really not that bad to me, She still treated me like her true son. Things are rough but my grandfather still awknowledge me as part of the Dela Fernandes.
"My Son," Mom started.
"I heard that you purchased the Pearl, Are you planning to give it to your poor mother?" she asked.
She didn't even bother asking if I'm happily married.
"No, I bought it as a gift for my wife." I answered blandly.
"HOW COULD YOU! AFTER I RAISE YOU –" I call ended the phone before she says something even more nasty.
"Sir," Robert called as I walked towards here since wher going to the shed where the slaves are hidden.
The nasty smell of people.
Their cries.
Everything was just so disgusting right now until we stop on a corner.
"This is Pearls mother." Robert said as I look into this middle aged woman. "You don't know what you are doing! That Pearl is not a simple pearl! You need to give it back together with my daughter!" she shouted.
"They believed that their daughter was the chosen one." The staff said.
"That Pearl," she murmured. "can give a-"
"SHUT UP WOMAN!" the staff said as they start beating her up. I told Robert to make them stop as I am purchasing this woman.
When the papers are done we went to Savia and she's with Pearl.
She looked like an Angel from above.
"Savia," I called as I licked my lips as I tasted blood, It seems like she went hard on me. I look at Pearl and she seems scared at me.
"Have you heard about your parents being auctioned here?" I asked Pearl and she nodded in response. "My Mom has that pearl too like mine, It was our family treasure and my Mom will be auctioned this upcoming Monday." She explained.
"I bought your Mom," I said as Robert assisted her Mom towards her.
"MAMA!" Pearl approach her mother as they smiled. "Saginsia bought me too!" Pearl said that made her Mom lose her smile and started panicking.
She knew from the start on who I am and what will I do to that Pearl if I have it on my hand.
She knew me like how their village knew the monster I am.
"N-No! Just take me instead! Spare my daughter!" she pleaded. I have the urge to smile but I don't want Savia to think badly about me as I remain calmed.
Savia looked confuse and worried at the same time with this typical situation.
After that everything went okay and I didn't cause too much confusion on Savia.
We left the auction when Sabrina and Andy were waiting for us outside. I looked at my Wife and just like that I knew there that she was unhappy and in pain just by seeing Andy.
"You really have a good husband, it's like winning a lottery," Sabrina said as Savia smiled fakely.
"Keep your chin up and don't look down on yourself now," I whispered as she smiled sadly like she hasn't just bought the 100 billion Pearl.
"Baby," I called and I knew that she was not feeling okay at all. "What?" she asked as her eyes are locked on Andy.
"You look quite desperate, shall we go home now? " I asked Savia and it caught Sabrina's attention. My Wife was just so good in pretending.
Just like me, I was also good at pretending in a lot of ways. I have to pretend that I am strong and independent causing my family to respect and fear me.
I deeply know that my brothers are planning something for me to go down and I am completely prepared for that.
One of the examples is when I ate the lunch they serve and it had tons of peanuts on it. I almost died if it wasn't for Robert rushing me to the nearest hospital.
Family's can be rough sometimes including the fact that money can change a person in a snap. My Dad didn't really like me but when I became the Saginsia I am right now he change his action towards me and became the proud father like he is right now.
"You're going home already? " I snap out from day dreaming as Sabrina asked such thing.
"I don't know my wife is tired. " I said since I know that Savia doesn't want to deal with them anymore.
She might also be tired inhaling those smoke around the room.
"Let's just pretend like we're having fun. "she whispered in my ears. I look at her as I was not okay with what she just whispered just now.
Why do we even need to pretend?
"I cannot pretend something like that just to please people around me," I answered with a deep tone as I glared at her.

When we arrive at the hotel I never spoke a word and went to sleep early I was tired and exhausted with that event and I want to get some rest.
I woke up without Savia in the bed as I saw her into the veranda as she was watching the stars peacefully.
She looked at peace but at the same time she looked like she have tons of things to think through.
"Why are you still up?" I asked as I fixed my messy hair. Even if I want to get more sleep I still need to check her out if she's really okay.
She's just staring at me with full of amusement in her eyes. I cannot help but smile gently and stared back at her too.
"Nah, I was just thinking about some stuff," She explained and went back on looking at the stars. I know that she isn't okay.
I stood up beside her as I join her watching the stars.
This scene is a scene to remember.
"They look pretty right?"She asked as I nodded for the answer.
"We got married below the stars. You might look tipsy that night but you look beautiful to me." I said as I know to myself that he really looked stunning that night.
"Did I say something funny for you to laugh at?" I asked since she was laughing beside me. "It's just I don't believe in anyone who calls me beautiful anymore,"
"Why? " I asked and I knew what will she response next.
"He won't replace me if I was that pretty girl, " I smiled sadly knowing that I cannot be a big help to her.
"I can make his life miserable in a snap just tell me," I said just to reassure her that I can do anything for her.
"Silly, I won't do that or go that far. I'll just need to slowly heal up and cry my pain out. I don't want to take revenge Saginsia, I just want to accept the fact that I lost him." She explained as her tears fall and I immediately handed her a tissue.
She was so hurt that her body was numb enough to notice her tears from falling.
Poor girl,
"Thank you, Thank you Saginsia. "
"Thank you for what?" I asked.
"I really needed this vacation." She explained.
So do I,
"I know," he answered.
"I needed this vacation too."I said as she look at me.
I can feel her staring but I focused my eyes on this scenary.
"Why did you sing in that restaurant?" She suddenly asked out of curiousity.
No one knew that I am a good singer not even in my family. I usually sing when I'm alone and Robert just caught me once that is why he knew that I know how to sing.
"Because I heard you singing too and I just wanna be fair to you." I answered as it brings me back in highschool.
Looking at Savia now I know that she isn't really prepared to have a stranger husband.
"Say, do you still want to get married?" I asked. "What do you mean about that? You know that this marriage is a form of mistake and misunderstandings right?" I smiled knowing that she will response such thing to me.
"I know but where here now, It's not like Andy's taking you back anyway." I said making a point.
"I am not rich Saginsia, I have nothing to offer." she started. "My family business is also going down, I don't even know where to start anymore." she added.
"And you have done enough, I don't want to use you and your money. I know that you've worked hard to get to this position." she said as I ran out of words.
"I cannot just use you for my selfish acts."
"I want you to look at me the way you look at Andy." I said, I need my name to be cleaned as the police are suspecting me of doing something unusual. "I want you to be faithful and to think of me as your man and not a mistake." I added.
I cannot afford for the public to think that this was all planned. I want us to be a proper couple.
She smiled sadly and I knew there that this is not an easy thing to do.
"Did you actually start to like me?" She asked that made me stop.
I don't want to hurt her at all, I just need her.
I excused myself without saying anything when I saw Robert coming towards me.
"We lost Pearl, her mother told me that she had took her necklace off." He explained.
We immediately went around the hallway because I am pretty sure that she hasn't gone that far.
I hope I can find her before she meet up with Savia.
I saw Pear together with Savia as she tries to tell her the truth about the pearl
"The pearl can help with-"
"Pearl." She stopped talking as I was already at her back.
"I-I just gave the Pearl to Mrs. Savia." She said as she excuse herself and ran to her room.
She better be scared I am totally pissed right now.
"Saginsia,"Savia called as my eyes are locked into the Pearl she's holding.
"I don't need this anymore." I was stunned by what she just said.
"Why? You wanted this pearl from the start right?" I asked
"This has nothing to do with our marriage." She said. "I want to know you more and be a proper wife to Saginsia." I was shock hearing that from her but happy at the same time.
We enjoyed the rest of Hawaii together and I really had fun together with him. We eat tons of food, swim with the fishes, ride a bus and build a sand castle.
Robert was here protecting us,
I had severe allergy on peanuts and oyster.
"Say, you don't need to actually throw the food away," she started like she knew everything but its not.
"I payed for that disgusting meal." I said.
"But there are tons of people who are hungry right now, You cannot treat foods like that." She said.
"I did not wish them to be poor."
"I know but at least be respectful with the food."
"You don't know anything about the food industry Savia!" I shouted that made her stop as I became speechless.
Robert didn't say anything as he just looked at us in the passenger sit.
Can't she just mind her own business?
I just stared outside the window as she was silent the whole ride.
