CEO's Forgotten Lover
Aya Reyes, a smart, resilient and capable woman who was a believer in love.
After all, mas madaling paniwalaan ang mga pangakong nanggaling mismo sa taong mahal mo, sa taong pinaniwala ka na you are capable of receiving love, who made you the center of his universe, and the same man who promised to walk you down the aisle.
And Aya believed him.
Until he disappeared.
No explanation.
No goodbye.
Just ache and promises that never came true.
For five years, naghintay si Aya. She held on to memories, making excuses, and the fragile hope that maybe one day, babalik sya.
Pero hindi siya bumalik.
Hindi siya nagparamdam.
So she did the only thing she knew to survive: she moved on.
New city.
New job.
New life.
Day by day, she did everything para unti-unting buuin ang sarili nya at mamuhay sa mundong wala na si Adrian. Pero mapaglaro ang tadhana. Sa pagdaan ng araw na pilit kinakalimutan ni Aya si Adrian, he started introducing himself to the word.
Adrian Vale is a powerful bachelor and now the CEO of Vale Group–rich, brilliant, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the country.
The next time Aya saw him again, they weren’t lovers anymore. Hindi rin strangers, kundi bilang boss at empleyado. And this time, Adrian doesn't remember her.
After a mysterious accident five years ago, Adrian Vale lost all of his memories, kasama na ang babaeng pinakamamahal nya at ang pangako nila sa isa’t isa.
Now, as fate slowly pulls them into each other’s lives again, Aya needs to come with a decision.
Should she tell him who she was or let him live his life and lose him again?

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Aya’s POVThe next morning felt heavier than usual. Hindi ako halos nakatulog kagabi kakaisip. Sa tuwing ipipikit ko ang mata ko, the same scene kept replaying in my head.I stared blankly at the mirror in my small apartment while fixing my hair. “Get it together, Aya.” Bulong ko sa sarili ko. Today was just another workday. Nothing more. Nothing less. Wala na akong magagawa. Adrian Vale is my CEO now. I am his employee. It’s either I face this head on or walk away…again. Napabuntong hininga ako. I stood up and grabbed my bag before thoughts wandered any further.The office was unusually lively when I arrived. Some of my coworkers were already gathered near the coffee machine, whispering among themselves.“Good morning,” bati ko habang dumadaan.“Morning, Aya!” sagot ni Marie. But the moment I reached my cubicle, Dani suddenly appeared beside me.“Aya.” Her voice sounded serious. Napalingon naman ako sa kanya.“What?”“Wag ka magugulat, okay?” My stomach immediately dropped.“The CEO

Chapter: CHAPTER 4“Sir, I’ve sent the employee file of Ms. Aya Reyes to your email.” Ms. Cruz uttered during a call the moment I got home. I had just stepped inside my room when the call ended. Without wasting time, I went straight to my desk and opened my laptop.The soft glow of the screen illuminated the dark room. A few moments later, her name appeared on the screen.Employee Name: Aya Reyes Department: Marketing Position: Junior Marketing Associate Date of Hire: 8 months agoI scrolled through her file slowly. Her resume. Her education and the last company she worked for. It was far from here, located in another city. She graduated from a respectable university. Her performance evaluations were good. Hardworking and efficient. All positive. Nothing that should make her stand out among hundreds of employees working in the company. And nothing in the file explained why my chest tightened every time I looked at her. One thing made me stop scrolling. Her ID photo. The way she stared back. I look

Chapter: CHAPTER 3Aya’s POVI don’t have anyone I could call my friend. But at that moment, Dani felt close to one. While I was composing myself, retouching my swollen face, biglang may kaluskos akong narinig sa malapit.“Narinig mo rin ba?” Tanong ko kay Dani.“Parang may gumalaw sa upper floor.” Bigla akong kinabahan. Paano kung–“May nakarinig kaya sa atin, Dani?” Pag-aalalang sabi ko. “Walang pwedeng makaalam. I didn’t even know what happened five years ago.”“Don’t worry. If this arises, wag naman sana, I’ll be with you.” Ani nya sabay hawak sa kamay ko. “Tara na, break time is almost done. Are you okay na?”I gave her a reassuring smile before we went back to our cubicle.Pagbalik namin, everyone seemed busy on their own screens–doing reports, answering calls, basically doing their own tasks. Napatulala ako sa aking monitor. For the first time in a long while, he was close. Adrian is just one floor above me.“Hoy,” pabulong na wika ni Dani. “Okay ka lang ba talaga?” Tumango ako. “I just need to

Chapter: CHAPTER 2Aya’s POVFive Years AgoWe went out of the conference room while my workmates were either looking at me or talking about me. But I couldn't blame them. Kung ako rin naman sila, magtataka rin ako kung bakit ako tatanungin ng ganon ng boss namin, lalo’t higit hindi naman siya familiar sa amin.“Anong sinasabi ni Mr. Vale na kung nagkita na raw kayo dati, Aya?” Curious na tanong ni Dani. Hinila ko siya papalayo sa mga katrabaho namin at pumunta sa may hagdan sa fire exit. I hurriedly checked whether the hallway was clear or not. Mahirap na, ayoko magkaroon ng issue sa bago kong trabaho.“Dani, I need to tell you something.” Kinakabahang saad ko rito. “Kinakabahan naman ako sayo eh!”“Ex ko sya!” Mabilisang pag-amin ko. “Ay mali, boyfriend ko siya bago siya mawala.” Nagmamadaling sabi ko.“Girl, nilalagnat ka ba? Anong kadeluluhan ba yang sinasabi mo?” Napabuntong hininga ako. I know she won’t understand easily so I decided to get my phone from my pocket and open a hidden folder sa gall

Chapter: CHAPTER 1Aya’s POVThere are some faces you never expected to see again, not because you wanted to forget them but because remembering their name brings an ache no words can possibly explain.Some memories turn to scars. Tahimik lang sila, minsan invisible, until something–someone triggers them. And then marerealize mo na masakit na pala. Masakit pa rin pala. Bad news, time does not heal all wounds. We simply learn how to live around them. We pretend to be okay. We convince ourselves that the past is already buried somewhere far away from our present. We just pretend to be okay hanggang sa wala na tayong maramdaman.Or at least, that’s what I used to believe.The conference room seemed colder than our usual morning. The air-conditioning hummed softly above us, yet there was a strange tension lingering in the room that made the atmosphere feel heavier than it should have been. Hindi ko rin alam bakit ako kinakabahan. I adjusted the sleeve of my blaze and tried to focus on the presentation sli
