SEAN'S POV
"Madame, while you cook our breakfast, may I go out first and see the beautiful sceneries outside?"
"Sure, young man. Not far from here are our beautiful shores. You can have your driver bring you there."
On our way to the shore, my eyes caught the strange sight of a restricted area with several "No Trespassing" signboards on the long stretch of galvanized steel chain-link fence. What amazed me was the rows of giant trees inside the lot that appeared like man-made wood from the outside view. We were on the outskirts of the island, where no one would ever expect to see a small forest like that. Mangroves were expected near the foreshore lands but not those species.
I asked my driver to stop as we passed by a wide, steel gate. I got out of the car and walked toward it--curious about what's inside. My eyes then grew wide to see a beautiful house in a contemporary 2000 house design. It looked eerie as it stoo

SEAN'S POV"What?" I froze for a while as I stared at her with my pulled-up brows. I may not know him personally yet, but I had already heard about him as the brain behind the Martela Group of Companies."Yes. The young and handsome man is Eric Martela. His family owns universities in the big city. You know, he loved my Calla so much. He even provided everything she wanted, including her education. Yet, one day, she replaced him with someone more powerful than him.""Do you think she can do it?" I held her gaze for a while, unable to believe my ears. Yet, she looked back at me straight in the eyes, wearing a sincere expression on her face."She grew up with me as her nanny. And ever since she was a child, she always dreamed of becoming famous and influential. I am afraid that her ambition would ruin her forever."I felt sick at the confession of Madame Cynthia. I adored Calla at first sight, but her revelation sullied my i

SEAN'S POV"Sean, I would no longer be able to meet you for a long time," she told me after our heated session in the sand. I was holding her close to me as we laid by our side."Why?" I placed my elbow in the beach mattress to raise my head and look at her."Please, don't ask. We already agreed on this.""Why? Your boyfriend is coming home?"She did not say a word, and I took her silence as an affirmative answer."What about us, Calla? What will happen to us?" I raised my voice, but that didn't conceal the desperation in my tone."There's no us, Sean.""But Calla, I know it's too early to say this, but I am a hundred percent sure that-""That you love me?" she laughed hard after she finished the sentence for me."What's funny?" I snapped. What could be so funny in putting an end to this beautiful thing that happened to us?"There's no such word as love, Sean. If ther

SEAN'S POV"Phillip, please include Mr. Eric Martela and Dr. Red in the invitation to the launching of Laminae, Inc. But before that, give me details of his business ventures, personal background, and the status of his relationship with Dr. Red."I placed back the phone into my sling bag as my thoughts wandered to the woman who helped Eric Martela forget the heartaches Calla caused him. Dr. Red must have possessed better qualities than Calla because he stayed with her for five years already. What I wanted to know if, until now, his heart still belonged to Calla. He funded her education, and now, she's a few months closer to become a full-fledged physician.My heart ached at the thought of this. I was already too late. I had failed the one who gave his full trust in me. The woman whom he wanted for me couldn't be my wife anymore. Mr. Eric Martela already owned her. I was supposedly ready to fake an emotion until I would make it, but I wa

SEAN'S POV"Sir, Dr. Red is the physician-on-duty today."Philip reminded me about this three times already today. It had been a month since I left Sama Island. To forget Calla, I focused on the launch of our new branch in the city. Laminae, Inc, was Asia's leading supplier of hospital supplies and equipment such as medical scanners, ultrasound machines, hospital or home care full-electric beds, and many others. Every machine and equipment one could see at TAG Medical Center, where Dr. Red worked, had the logo of Laminae, Inc. in it because the principal shareholder was Thomas and Albert Grey (TAG).My mom was Sir Thomas Grey's private massage therapist. Ever since I was a child, mom would always let me accompany her to Grey's residence for the couple's daily massage sessions. Their only son, Albert Grey, who was most likely thirty years my senior, would also entertain me with his computer games, or any of his ball games such as b

SEAN'S POVI looked at Dr. Red's photos as my driver brought me to the hospital where she worked. Finally, I would be meeting the daughter of Mr. Albert Grey. Calla was a mistake, but she had stubbornly occupied a part in my heart. I did not meet Dr. Red right away because I hoped that time would help me take off Calla from my mind. I have promised Sir Thomas to win her heart if possible, but meeting Calla first defeated our plan.I got off of the car the moment my driver pulled over the parking lot. I couldn't wait to see Dr. Red, partly because I wanted to know my reaction when I finally saw her in person. I hoped that her presence would also bring me a spell, a more effective spell than what Calla was using. Of course, this was only my presumption, but what would I think after being told that Calla could win any man's heart if he looks into her eyes?When I glimpsed a shadow by the window of the isolation room, my heart

SEAN'S POVThough Philip had gathered details about her private life, Dr. Red did not realize that I used her phone in tracking where she was. I also investigated Eric's whereabouts, his business circle, and business ventures. Not to boast about my status, Eric was still far away in his business standing compared to mine. Sir Thomas had already expanded his business globally before he passed down the legacy to me.The inheritance I received from Sir Thomas was not without condition. It may sound weird, but the will and testament state that Sir Thomas's assets and properties would be temporarily mine and would be under my management until I could find Sir Albert. However, before Sir Thomas stayed in his sickbed, we could trace down Sir Albert Nelson's location. He was the captain of a cruise ship that sailed across Asia's best tourist destination.Unfortunately, when Sir Thomas succeeded in bringing him home again, he was a

RED'S POVI asked Sean for one more round around the park. His revelation about Calla was suffocating me. I felt so silly for misinterpreting his kindness towards me. Perhaps, if only he had romantic intentions for me, I would supposedly move on faster from my breakup with Eric. Yet, this man was only seeking friendship or companionship, and probably, someone to talk to. But why me? Why not those elegant women around his business circle?"Sean, I'm really wondering why you are good to me. And why do you offer me the slot in your company?""Let's say it's like at first sight." Sean smiled and tilted his head to look at me. He was much taller than me, so I had to raise my head to see his face.I melted again in those eyes, so I looked away and shifted my gaze on the path ahead of us. "Red, would you mind if I make a request?"I stopped walking and looked up. "What kind of request?""Friendship requ

RED'S POVI asked Sean to bring me home after we kissed. I felt so awkward in thinking how fast we have come to this stage of a relationship. I barely knew Sean except for those facts he revealed during the inauguration of Laminae, Inc. Who would ever believe that I got into a whirlwind romance with the man who wrote the success of this giant company?"We're here," Sean extracted me from my mental trail as soon as he parked in my garage. I did not wait for him to open the door for me because I already got used to getting out on my own ever since I was with Eric.Sean had come up with me as I stood fumbling with the keys. He took it from my hand and picked the door key in less than a few seconds."Red, don't do it again."I gathered my brows as I threw him a side glance. "What do you mean?""You should wait for me before you step down from the car."I smiled at his thoughtfulness but did not say
