When Pedro arrived back at his mansion, he was greeted by an unexpected sight. The entire estate was adorned with an elaborate array of lights and flowers, creating a magical ambiance. From the grand gates to every corner of the sprawling mansion, decorations radiated splendor. Vibrant flowers in a rainbow of colors were carefully arranged, lending the place a festive charm.

The bodyguards stood in a disciplined line, their heads bowed in respect, while Uncle Noel waited by the grand entrance, a wide smile lighting up his face.

Taking in the sight, Pedro was momentarily unsure whether to laugh or cry. This extravagant welcome was meant to celebrate the arrival of the “Queen,” but she wasn’t with him. He hadn’t brought Lily back. Torn between disappointment and a strange sense of contentment, he wondered: Should he mourn the fact that Lily wasn’t by his side, or should he cherish the precious moments they had shared, fleeting yet meaningful?

“Pedro, where is she?” Uncle Noel’s eager voice cut through his thoughts as he noticed Pedro entering the mansion alone. The confusion and concern on Uncle Noel’s face were evident. “Didn’t you leave to bring her here? Then why are you alone?”

Pedro gave him a faint smile. “I changed my mind,” he said quietly.

“What?” Uncle Noel’s voice rose in surprise, nearly shaking with anger. “You didn’t bring her?” He quickly caught himself and took a deep breath, softening his tone slightly. “I mean… you were so determined to bring her back. What happened, Pedro?”

“I did leave to bring her back,” Pedro admitted. “In fact, I was fully prepared to take her by force if necessary. But when I saw her, Uncle Noel, something changed. I realized that if I forced her to come with me, she would only end up hating me. That’s not the kind of relationship I want with her.”
