Jean went in to his room and saw her at the edge of the bed. He had never seen her cried like this before. Her tears fell down on the jewelry box she was holding that caught his attention. He sat beside her, looking at her with a heartbreaking face.

"He... he already broke up with me..." Riza whispered as she continued to sob. "Am I not good enough for him?"

He sighed. "No... You're too good for him... You're more than enough... Maybe that's why he thinks he doesn't deserve you..." He wanted to wipe her tears at the moment, but he hesitated. Though they already broke up, that didn't mean she'll be his possession. He didn't allow himself to embrace her, to even hold her hand, because he knew she didn't belong to him.

Minutes later and Jean heard a knock from the door. He went downstairs and immediately opened the door.

"Maes? Gracia? Wh-what are you guys doing here?" Jean asked as he opened the door wider and let them entered his house.

"Sorry to bother you Jean. But can I talk to her? I think there are lots of things she needs to know." Gracia said.

"Please Jean. This is a big misunderstanding between them. We must let her know it. I'll explain it to you if you won't mind to listen." Maes pleaded.

Jean nodded. "She's upstairs, Gracia, in my room." Gracia immediately rushed to his room. "Maes, please, I want to know everything."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Riza?" Gracia called as she slowly entered the room.

"Gracia?" Riza ran to her and embraced her tightly. "Gracia... He... He broke up with me...!" She uttered as she cried on her shoulder.

Gracia smiled at her. "Relax girl. I'm here to help you." They both sat on the bed. She was still weeping, but at least Gracia was beside her to subside her pain.

"He... He broke up with me..." She repeated as she clutched the jewelry box.

"I know. But Riza, there are a lot of things you're not aware of." She noticed the jewelry box she was holding. "Open it."

Riza did what she said. She opened the box, and of course she'll find the same things in there: Roy's ring and a key. "A key? Why didn't I notice it earlier?" She thought as she slowly stopped from crying.

"Come with us. I'll show you something." Gracia said as they both stood and went downstairs.

"Maes, she's ready. Let's go." Gracia said as he met Maes in the living room.

"Uh Jean, do you want to come with us?" Maes asked Jean who was sitting on the couch.

He smiled. "No thanks. I'll be fine here." He stood and looked at Riza as he widened his smile. "I think he deserves you..." He said as he hurriedly went up to his room.

Maes drove them to the mansion. Minutes later and they arrived at the said place. When they got out of the car, Riza was stunned on the beauty of the place. There's the majestic, three-story mansion, with the roof made of Terra Cotta red tiles founded with concrete, bricks, and limestone. Countless huge windows can be seen on all sides of the mansion. Flowers were planted around the house which made the whole place more splendid.

"We worked here together with some men in Central. He spent millions of his money, but he never used even a single cent from military funds. Even though Roy was tired from office work, he didn't forget to go here every night and help us finish this magnificent gift... just for you." Maes explained as they stood in front of the mansion.

Riza's eyes widened and she fell down on her knees. Her tears started to fall again and she covered her face with her hands. "B-but why? Why did he do all of this?! Why didn't he tell me?"

"I want her to be happy... That's what he always says..." Maes noted.

She wept more on his statement. "It's... It's my fault...! It's my stupidity!"

Gracia smiled and pulled her up by her hand. "It's okay. No one wants this to happen. Let's get in."

Riza wiped her tears and pulled out the key that she kept in her pocket. She opened the door and they entered the house. The mansion was bigger inside. The walls were painted with light cream; lots of paintings were hung; the furniture was made of high quality woods; and red carpets were laid on the floor. They all visited every floor, every room, and Riza memorized even the smallest corner of the place.

"I- I think I have to apologize to him." Riza said as they exited the house. "Thank you very much for your help."

"It's nothing, Riza. Roy really loves you." Maes said.

"Yeah, we knew he'll never cheat on you, so don't think of such things like that." Gracia added.

Riza smiled and wiped the remaining tears on her eyes. "Thanks again."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roy's phone rang. He couldn't believe someone could call him at his darkest moment. Finally, after some rings, he unwillingly answered the phone.

"Hello?" He answered with a gloomy tone as he wiped his tears.

"Roy, it's me, Jean." He replied with the same tone as Roy's.

He was surprised to hear his voice on the other line.

There was silence.

"I... I know I don't deserve her. She's not mine. She can't be mine. She belongs to you." He sighed. "I think she still loves you."
