"Hi, cousin. How are you? Have you returned Zette?" Casey greeted us as we entered the unit.
"We're engaged," Carlew happily announced to Casey. I showed where the ring was on my hand.
"Whoa! That was fast, huh? Ayyyiiiiee!!"
We had a bit of conversation or catch-up until Carlew eventually left.
"I'll visit every week, or whenever you miss me," he said before giving me a kiss.
"No need. It's okay, not necessarily weekly. Even twice a month is fine. I know you have a lot to take care of since you've been gone for a long time. Surely, I'll be busy too, right? Now that I have a job. So it's okay with me," I assured him. I saw him smile, and then he left.
I was left alone in my room. I stared blankly for a moment after he left. I still couldn't believe that I was engaged to a man I love. It feels like I'm in a dream, and if I wake

Prologue "Miss Zette, wake up. The people who will prepare you will be here soon," our housemaid knocked, waking me up to convey the message. Reluctantly, I rose to take a shower. As I entered the bathroom, my reflection in the mirror revealed smudged makeup from crying the night before. I'm marrying a man I don't know? What the heck?! I could've accepted it if I at least knew him before the wedding, perhaps even had a single date. But no! It's been a year since I met that jerk. And now? I'm going to marry him. ** "Dear, get ready for dinner. Wear this dress. We have guests," Mommy said as she entered my room, holding a pink, sparkling dress. I nodded before she left. I was reviewing for tomorrow's exam. It's our finals, graduation is nearing, and I'm afraid of failing. If it happens, Mommy and Daddy will be furious. Especially if I lose my place in the honors. At around 6 PM, I changed and headed downstairs. I looked at myself in the mirror before descending the stairs. The liv

Chapter 1 The events from earlier couldn't escape my mind. I attempted to sleep, but it was futile, so I decided to go to a bar alone, hoping to forget. "Whisky, please," I requested from the bartender. "Ma'am, you're already drunk, and you're alone. I can't serve you anymore," the bartender explained. Despite my swaying vision, I managed to argue. "What alone? I'm not alone. I have company," I lied. Right now, all I wanted was to forget. I practically begged the bartender, but he just looked at me with disappointment. I couldn't care less, haunted by memories that I should be erasing now. "He's with me. Just serve him," I said, glancing at the guy sitting next to me. He nodded at the bartender, who hesitated but eventually complied. "Who are you?" I bluntly asked the guy who claimed to be with me. Instead of answering, he gestured for the bartender to proceed. I rolled my eyes. "I'm Carlew, and you are?" he introduced himself, extending his hand. I smiled before shaking his ha

Chapter 2 As soon as his car stopped in the hotel parking lot, I quickly got out, leaving him alone. Despite feeling a bit dizzy, I managed to enter the hotel and head straight to the elevator. I reached the floor where I had checked in, still feeling nervous. I couldn't believe what he had said. Not because it was impossible, but because my heart responded to him. It was as if I liked him too. I shook my head at my own thoughts. Entering the room, I immediately went to sleep. The alcohol had made me drowsy, and I didn't struggle to find sleep. The next morning, I woke up early to prepare for my flight to Tagbilaran, Bohol. My flight was at 8, and it perfectly aligned with my arrival at the airport. Throughout the flight, I slept, only waking up as we neared landing. An hour passed before I finally saw the beautiful scenery of Bohol. I could almost smell the sea, which lightened my heart. This is what I need. Fresh air and space. Exiting Tagbilaran Airport, I quickly hailed a tax

Chapter 3 When I regained my composure, I decided to take a short break from the hotel and went to the nearby 7Eleven. I wanted ice cream to relieve stress. "149 Ma'am," I handed my payment to the cashier. I grabbed the solo ice cream and some snacks before taking my change. I stepped outside 7Eleven, where they had chairs and tables. I opened the ice cream, unable to resist its tempting allure. Despite the cold, I wasn't going to let it go to waste. Ice cream has a way of melting away stress. I also opened the big pack of Vcut that I bought. In this way, the heaviness I felt was lifted. I ate alone, in silence. It made me reflect on the times when I used to obediently follow Mommy and Daddy. My heart ached at the memories. *** "89? Well, it's not bad..." Daddy said with disappointment. The smile on my face quickly disappeared. I did everything I could to maintain straight 9s in my grades, but my Math grade fell short at 89. Just one line of 8, and they were already disappointed.

Chapter 4 'Then, I'll be your boyfriend started today.' 'Then, I'll be your boyfriend started today.' 'Then, I'll be your boyfriend started today.' His words didn't immediately register in my mind. Didn't he say it was just a "like"? Why did he declare himself my boyfriend? "But I don't love you," I blurted out, trying to regain my composure. I saw the surprise in his eyes at my straightforwardness. "Then, I'll court you," he said. I felt a sense of disappointment. I thought we were already something. Why court me? "No need. Like you said earlier, you're my boyfriend. So you'll be," I responded. He looked at me, and I saw the intensity in his eyes. "Okay, then. You're mine." Slowly, he approached me, and nervousness overwhelmed me. I took a step back, but I may have made a mistake. I ended up leaning against the balcony door, and he quickly cornered me. "You are my Euzette. Forever mine." He kissed me, reminiscent of the bar kiss – deep and intense. I almost stumbled, but luc

Chapter 5 I had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower. I quickly changed to see what I could cook for dinner for Casey and me. Upon opening the refrigerator, I was surprised to find nothing that could be cooked except for half a tray of eggs. There was a pitcher of water and a gallon of ice cream. I tried checking the kitchen cabinets, but all I found were a few cup noodles and snacks. "Does one survive on this? Tsk." I closed the cabinet I last checked. I grabbed my phone, planning to text Casey, but I immediately received a message from him. Casey: Friend, sorry if you won't find anything to cook in my unit except eggs. I usually eat out with my boyfriend. I apologize. I sighed at what he said. I guess I'll just go grocery shopping. I went back to the room to get my wallet. I went to the nearest market to do some grocery shopping. I bought what I needed, such as napkins, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, and more. For food, I bought canned goods, several packs of noodl

Chapter 6 The days passed quickly, and Carlew and I frequently communicated through calls, texts, and video calls. Currently, I was talking to him on the phone. Fortunately, we never seemed to get tired of each other, even though it was just the two of us most of the time. "Who are you shopping with?" I shook my head at his question. I told him I was going to buy clothes for my upcoming job, even though it was still a week away. I didn't have anyone to accompany me to choose office attire. I had plenty of clothes at home, but I didn't bring any with me. If I did, I might be suspected because, initially, I thought we were going on a honeymoon after the wedding, which never happened due to my foolish actions. So, I only brought a few casual outfits. "How about you just delay starting work? Let's do it later." I frowned at what he said. "Are you always like this with your girlfriends? Do you not want them to work?" "Nope, just you," he replied. "Why? Have you had many girlfriends bef

Chapter 7 "Ohh? You miss me that much huh?" I blushed as he whispered those words while hugging me. "Of course. I'm tired of talking to a cellphone. Always accompanied by a laptop. I want something real." I said sadly, pulling away from the embrace. I heard his soft chuckle, and I frowned, biting my lip. "How did you end up here? Weren't you in Manila?" "I filed a leave for 1 week. I really missed you, baby. I can't take it anymore. That's why I didn't tell you, because I know you'll insist." I pursed my lips to hide my smile. "I love you." I said with my eyes closed, feeling his lips on my forehead. I couldn't hide my smile. "I love you too." I said with a closed smile. This is the first time I've said it back to him, and I didn't know how he'd react. "W-What did you say?" He seemed to be having a hard time believing what I said. I blushed again. I didn't want to repeat it because of embarrassment, but I wanted to make it up to him, so I said it again. "I love you too." I said
