THE entire car was filled with heavy silence as they made their way toward in Malaya Village. The only sounds cutting through the quiet were the distant honks of other vehicles. Alas could no longer stand the deafening silence between them, so he finally spoke up.

“Why are you so quiet?” he asked, hoping to break the stillness that was only made worse by how long the journey felt.

Yna let out a sigh. “What exactly am I supposed to say? It’s not like there’s anything to talk about,” she replied,

    THE surroundings had grown dim, but they could still make out the path leading back to the hut. They reached it quickly and stepped inside at once.Alas spread the woven pandan mat across the floor, then arranged the pillows and blanket on top of it.Yna sat down on the edge, just beside the mat. “What am I supposed to do now? I can’t sleep without any light,” she complained. She had never been used to anything like this; she had grown up surrounded by comfort, in a grand house with huge, soft beds. Right now, she felt worse off than the poorest people she knew.Alas smiled and patted the spot on the mat beside him. “Lie down and rest if you want. Don’t let your worries keep you awake. And don’t be afraid—nothing bad will happen to you. I’m right here to keep you safe.”“But… I still can’t sleep in a place like this. I miss my room, and my soft bed.” Alas let out a quiet sigh. “This is all your fault—you’re the one who brought me here in the first place,” she grumbled at him.“Shh. I’

    YNA woke up feeling warm and rested, and for a moment she didn’t want to move at all. She stirred slowly and opened her eyes—then nearly screamed, quickly clamping a hand over her mouth to muffle the sound.She could hardly believe it. She and Alas were still wrapped in each other’s arms. He was still asleep, leaning back against the rough wooden wall, holding her close as if they were two people lost in the cold, clinging to each other just to stay warm.No matter what had happened, she felt nothing but gratitude toward him. Just as he’d said, he hadn’t left her alone—he’d held her through every shiver and every clap of thunder. And she couldn’t bring herself to lie: she had liked it, more than she cared to admit. She let her gaze wander freely over his face, taking in every detail of his peaceful, handsome features.The rain had not stopped completely, but it had softened to a gentle drizzle. The fierce thunder and lightning were gone, yet darkness was already settling over the vall

It’s not like there’s anything to talk about,” she replied, her tone laced with her usual stubborn sarcasm.“Fair enough,” he answered gently. “But I’m just not used to you being this quiet.” He glanced over and saw she didn’t seem to care one way or the other. “We’re almost there. When you see the sign that says “WELCOME TO MALAYA”, you’ll know we’ve arrived. I promise you’re going to love this place.”“Okay,” she said simply, turning her gaze to the window. The scenery unfolding before her was breathtaking—tall, lush trees lined the winding road, and

    ALAS’ car pulled to a smooth stop right in front of the towering iron gates of the Cortes mansion. He had come to pick up Yna, ready to bring her along on their trip to the village. As he stepped out for a moment to admire the place, he found himself truly impressed. The house had a striking, grand facade—solid, beautifully proportioned, and built in a style that reminded him of ancient Roman architecture. A sprawling, well-tended garden wrapped around the grounds, adding even more grace and charm to the whole estate. It looked like something out of a history book, completely unlike the simple, warm home they had both known twenty years ago.The guard on duty recognized him immediately and swung the heavy gates open wide. “Good morning, Sir,” the man greeted him respectfully. “Who are you here to see, if I may ask?”Alas smiled warmly. “Good morning too. I’ve come to pick up Yna—we have somewhere important to go today. I’m her boss, Alas.”The guard nodded in understanding and guided

    YNA walked into the office and found Alas sitting in his swivel chair, twisting a pen between his fingers. She ignored him—he probably was still upset with her, she thought. She went straight to her own seat, opened the folder, and pretended to study its contents.She heard the faint creak of his chair as he stood up. She kept her head down, feigning deep focus.“You still haven’t finished memorizing that? Come on—are you acting like a student who needs extra time to cram for an assignment? Yna, let me make one thing clear. You are not here just to be my trainee. You need to take responsibility, and I need that report as soon as possible.” His voice rose sharply, and it caught her completely off guard. She never imagined he would actually scold her like this. If he did this in front of everyone, she would definitely break down crying.She lifted her chin and glared at him, letting out a sharp huff. “So what? I don’t care about any of that. All I know is I’m here to do whatever it takes

    YNA was on her way to Dela Merzcid Real Estate Company. She walked confidently down the hallway and ran straight into Lydia.She pushed her sunglasses up onto her head to get a better look. “I’m guessing you’re Lydia, right?” Without waiting for a reply, she slid her sunglasses back down over her eyes.“Yes, I am. Come along—we’ve got your training to start,” Lydia said gently, gesturing for her to follow. They stepped into Alas’ office, and he wasn’t there yet.Yna dropped the booklets onto the desk and settled into her seat. She’d dragged them all the way here even though she hadn’t memorized a single word from them—and honestly, she couldn’t care less.Lydia walked over to her holding a neat white folder.“Here—this isn’t too long to learn, but it lists all of Mr. Dela Merzcid’s important schedules, meetings, and appointments. You’ll need to keep track of this every day, and stay with him whenever he’s in meetings or working on projects,” she explained. Yna found herself liking Lydi
