Chapter 119 - The Secret Of The Heart

Viona was freezing after she heard what Fernando said, she still couldn't believe what her husband just told her. The reason was that he sounded very honest when Fernando said this for the first time when they just came out of Zevanya's grave.

"Do you know what I hate the most in this world?" Viona asked quietly. Fernando shook his head slowly in response to his wife's words. 

"I hate being lied to, it's better if I hear the truth even though it hurts rather than hearing the lie that makes me float around," Viona replied with a smile. Fernando smiled slightly at his wife's words. 

"Looks like I was destined to never be able to lie to you, honey," said Fernando slowly while grabbing Viona's face which he then glared at. 

"You're lying, right?" Viona asked curtly. 

"Zefanya still carried Willan's blood even though she was not my biological daughter," said Fernando with a smile. 

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you are saying," Viona protested irritably. 

"Zefanya was my father's biological daughter," Fernando said seriously.

Viona swallowed her saliva at the words of her husband. 

"Is that true? I ask seriously, honey!!! Don't joke around, I don't like it," said Viona in a halting voice. 

"I'm serious too, honey. Zevanya was born after Miranda had an affair with my father when she was still in love with me and Franklin," Fernando replied with a sharp gaze towards Viona. 

Viona got even more shocked after she heard her husband's words, she was speechless to the point where her voice had caught in her throat. Only Viona's eyes spoke as if asking for an explanation for what she was just heard. 

"But, I mean ... how could one girl have a love affair with the three men who were father and sons at the same time? That was wild," said Viona with a trembling tone. 

"For a normal woman like you, Miranda's actions must be considered crazy and senseless, but for a woman who has a mental disorder like Miranda, it was normal as long as she can achieve her goal. She was the type of woman who will do anything to reach her goals," said Fernando quietly as he stroked his wife's face.

"What's the woman's name?" asked Viona in a barely audible voice.

"Miranda Elizabeth Kwan, a woman of Korean descent who had lived in Canada for a long time. She worked as a curator at an art gallery in Toronto," Fernando replied dryly.

"Where is Miranda now? Does she know that Zevanya had passed away?" asked Viona again.

"Miranda died 1 year before Zevanya's death. She died in a single accident while running away from her father's men, who forced her to marry the mafia from Mexico after she failed to become the wife of one of the three of us," Fernando replied with a smile.

"Died??" shrieked Viona in shock, her face looked very confused. Fernando nodded slowly in response to his wife's words, he then slowly grabbed Viona's body and immediately hugged her tightly.

"That night, Miranda came to our house to tell me about her pregnancy, she asked me to marry her and I immediately refused because when we dated and had sex I always used a condom. So I'm sure the baby she was carrying was not mine," Fernando said quietly, telling his past.

"What happened then?" Viona's curiosity emerged even more.

"She went crazy in an instant, she destroyed all the items in the living room. Shortly thereafter, Franklin came and she ran toward him right away after seeing Franklin came in. Miranda told my brother the same thing as she told me ... "

"What do you mean?" Viona asked impatiently to cut her husband's words. 

"Awww it hurts!!!" Viona screamed when Fernando bit his neck suddenly. 

"If you want to know the entire story, don't cut my words like that!" Fernando said exasperatedly. 

"Sorry ... Please continue, I'll listen nicely," said Viona in a cute tone. 

"If your period is over, I'll immediately make you sweat right now, honey," whispered Fernando softly teasing Viona. 

"Akhhhh ... don't say it, tell me the entire story, and don't try to change the conversation," Viona replied curtly as she moved her seat to get away from her husband. Fernando laughed at Viona's behavior, he returned to continue his story. Even though he had decided to keep his family's disgrace for years, today he told Viona everything honestly. 

"Promise me you will never discuss this issue again in the future with anyone, including my brother Frank," said Fernando quietly ending his story. Fernando had sacrificed a lot to protect his father's good name. 

"As I said before honey, I could not possibly let my father stand in front of the reporters and admit that the baby born to Miranda was his child, which should be more worthy of his grandson," said Fernando with a smile. 

"But, I'm sure Frank still hates you until now," said Viona.

"I won't care much about the fact that my brother hates me to death, honey. I'm sure one day he will understand the situation better," said Fernando sincerely. 

Viona cried again at the words of her husband, she was sorry because she had thought badly of Fernando previously. Viona regretted that she had hated Fernando for the past six years without knowing the entire truth. Fernando wiped the tears that had fallen on Viona's face slowly. 

"Don't cry, I haven't started my part yet," whispered Fernando quietly. 

"You are so annoying, I hate you!!" Viona said quickly, she understood the direction of her husband's conversation. 

"What had happened, let it go and try to never remember it, just think of it as a part of the journey of life that we have to go through," said Fernando quietly.

"Yes, I understand, I'm sorry I have been hating you," Viona replied softly.

"I'll tell you one thing, honey. What you felt was not hatred, you have fallen in love with me without you realizing it, but you keep trying to deny it," said Fernando confidently teasing his wife.

Viona threw a small punch to her husband's chest who was hugging him, she hid her blushing face accompanied by a heartbeat that felt very fast.

"I will go to sleep now, don't disturb me," Viona shouted behind the pillow she used to cover her face.

"Alright, ma'am. Sorry," Fernando replied quickly, he then wrapped his arms around Viona's stomach and hugged her body tightly from behind by occasionally kissing the neck and fragrant of Viona's hair. Soon, there was a soft snoring sound from Fernando which indicated that he had slept soundly, while Viona who had been unable to sleep, was silent while listening to her husband's heartbeat. 

"Looks like you are saying the truth, honey, I seem to have fallen in love with you without realizing it. I love you, Fernando," said Viona softly as she closed her eyes.
