Instead of heading straight to the sterile comfort of my penthouse, I found myself drawn to a dimly lit, high-end bar. It was a desperate detour after landing from a week-long business deal in Singapore. I don't know, maybe I just wanted a temporary escape. I knew I'd just be upset and think about my problem even more when I was alone in my place, so it was better to get drunk first so I could actually get some good sleep tonight.
I sat on one of the high stools at the front bar and ordered a glass of scotch, finishing it in one gulp before ordering another. My body was tired from the trip, but my mind wouldn't cooperate. I've been worried for days now on how to stop Gav from marrying that man. I also don't want to go to her apartment tonight either because I know she will just push me away and won't face me.
She felt obligated to this man, but it's not enough for her to dedicate the rest of her life just to repay his kindness. She's too kind and compassionate, t

I quickly answered the call when Inigo video called me that night. He hadn’t been answering my calls for a couple of days, nor was he replying to my texts. Although I was already preparing to sleep because it was quite late, I still answered his call without hesitation. When I saw his face on my phone screen, I was surprised and worried because his face was covered in bruises."What happened to your face? Why are you all bruised?" I asked him, my voice laced with worry."It's nothing, I just got into a mission," he replied but his voice lacked its usual warmth.I fell silent at his answer. I don't know, but it felt like he wasn't telling me something. I knew him too well; when he's lying, he can't look me straight in the eye. I wanted to ask why he hadn't been answering my calls and texts these past few days. Now, I think I know why."Are you going to Santa Lucia this weekend?" he sudde
She continued to avoid me again, constantly insisting that what happened was a mistake. I couldn't understand her. It was obvious that her heart belonged to me, that she couldn't even resist the pull of my kisses and the warmth of my embrace, yet, she stubbornly insisted that I leave her be. I couldn't grasp why she couldn't leave that bastard and take a chance on the love I was so ready to offer?It even came to the point where that bastard and I ran into each other and got into a fistfight in front of her apartment. I swear, I was ready to fight for her until my last breath. I'll admit, that bastard was a formidable opponent, strong and agile, managing to land several painful blows at me. I was about to retaliate and land another punch to unleash my fury, but Gav intervened, shielding him with an embrace. The sight of her genuine concern for that bastard was like a physical blow to me, leaving me reeling. Feeling hurt, I stumbled away that night, defeated and heartbroken.
"Baby, please try to listen to me..." I pleaded. I drew closer to her trying to reach her, but she drastically jerked her arms away from me.Seeing her like this just tears me apart. It feels like my heart is being ripped to shreds."And if I have to live in another lifetime, another world, I wish not to meet you again because loving you was so painful.""Damn it, I love you! It's you that I love! Not Leanna or any other woman," I blurted out desperately as I shook her shoulders, trying to make sense to her."It's only you, baby. Please believe me..." I said finding it hard to express the frustration of not knowing how to approach her just to make her believe me."Liar! I don't believe you! You will never-" To my frustration, I never let her finish her words because I did what I had been dying to do: kiss her delectable lips hungrily and lay her to bed.I impulsively flicked my tongue inside her lips and tasted every corner of her mout
She had already told me to stop pursuing her, but I really couldn't. No matter how much she rejected me and pushed me away, even though it was obvious she was avoiding me, I kept going. Little did she know, every rejection, every cold shoulder, every attempt to push me away only fueled the fire I felt for her. The more I chased her, the more I desired to possess her completely. It was the first time I felt this way about a woman, and it was the first time I'd loved so intensely and deeply. It's only ever been her, and I felt like I was going crazy at the thought of not having her. Even though I looked like a fool pursuing and forcing myself on her, even though I was getting hurt by her constant rejections, I still couldn't stop. I just loved her so deeply; I could only persevere.When she told me she was sick and tired of me pursuing her and forcing myself on her, that despite all my efforts, she hadn't developed even a single feeling for me, the despair and bitterness I felt
It was supposed to be a normal working time for me that morning when someone violently slammed my office door open all of a sudden. To my surprise, it was Cedrick Miguel who confronted me, looking absolutely furious."Is it true you're marrying that bastard?!" His sudden, angry eruption in my office completely stunned me.Although I expected him to confront me about this, but I didn't expect it to be during working hours, and certainly not in the office where he chose to act up again."Do you always barge into people's offices like this? I know you own this company, but you can't just barge into someone's office without permission," I retorted with annoyance lacing in my voice."Tell me! Is it true what I heard from Leanna, that you're getting married to your bastard boyfriend?!" He ignored my question and quickly came near me.I gasped when he slammed his hand on my table hard, causing the paperwork on my desk to fly off."Answer me,
