"But you didn't say why you picked me. Did we know each other before? I don't think we've met," Debra said, squinting at him. "You're dodging the question with all that talk.""I just wanted you to know I missed her once, but fate gave me another shot, even if it's just a dream. It means everything. I'm trying to change, but maybe I still don't know how to really love someone," Juan said.All he could do was protect Debra as her fiancรฉ, shielding her from harm. Maybe his approach was wrong, but it was the best he could come up with."You're wrong," she said. "Even if you love someone, you shouldn't change who you are. Losing yourself for someone else is sad. Everyone loves differently. If she couldn't handle it, maybe you weren't right for each other. But someone out there will get your kind of love."He looked at her, seeing the real Debra shine through.Dream or reality, her soul was the same. She was radiant and unyielding."How's the food?" he asked."Not bad, but the steak'

Juan's blue eyes seemed to penetrate her.Debra squirmed, feeling naked in front of him."Whatever," she muttered, grabbing the pack and pulling out a cigarette.She stuck it in her mouth, but when she tried to light it, Juan spoke up. "You gotta inhale when you light it."She tried, but she couldn't even get the lighter right. Frustrated, she tossed the pack down."So what if I don't know how to smoke? Go tattle on me," she sulked, leaning back.Juan was unfazed. "I'm not gonna do that.""Aren't you?" She eyed him suspiciously."You act like a bad kid at school only because you're scared of getting hurt," he said."You're full of it." Her eyes flickered. "Who dares hurt me, the heiress to the Frazier family?""Well, you're living under someone else's roof," he said, laying it bare. "You don't go too hard in school because you're afraid they will come after you. But you can't look too dumb either, or you'll embarrass them. So, you pretend to be tough to keep people off your b

Juan smiled, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.It made Debra feel bad, like she'd hurt him."I just got weirded out by the snooping," she stammered. "I didn't mean to come at you. You seem like a good guy.""No need to butter me up," Juan said with a faint smile. "This engagement isn't a big deal. But calling it off has to wait until you graduate from college.""Why?" she asked."No reason," he said, setting the takeout aside. "It's cold. Let's eat out."He stood up, signaling the secretary to clear the table.Debra followed, then remembered her homework in the meeting room and turned to grab it.Juan saw it through. "Leave it. My secretary will get it."She hummed in acknowledgment, falling in step beside him.The elevator felt cramped even with just the two of them. She snuck a glance at him. His sharp features screamed a TV-drama CEO.In the underground garage, the driver was ready. Debra followed Juan into the car, clueless about where they were eating. The

The secretary smiled without explaining.Orders were orders. No questions asked.Stuck in the lounge, Debra pulled out homework she hadn't touched in three days. Staring at the pile, she felt her head spin.Getting nagged by teachers at school was bad enough, and now Juan was bossing her around. It made her fume.An hour later, she finished one test paper, but Juan was still in his meeting.She checked the time. It was already 8 p.m. and pitch dark outside."When's your boss gonna wrap up? I need to get home," she said."Mr. Nichols got you some food. Eat if you're hungry," the secretary replied, placing a takeout bag in front of her.She opened it and saw all her favorites. She blinked. "Your boss picked this?""Yes, Miss Frazier," the secretary confirmed."How did he know what I liked?" Debra asked, suspicious. "He's been digging into me?"Realizing the truth, she shot up from the couch. The secretary failed to stop her as she stormed into the conference room.The manager

Debra snapped back to reality. "I don't know him.""I'm her fiancรฉ," he said blandly.The class teacher blinked. In all her years, she had never had a fiancรฉ show up as a parent. Clearing her throat, she said, "Well, Debra has been smoking at school. It's severe misconduct. As her guardian, I hope you can rein her in."Juan's gaze landed on Debra. "Smoking?""I was just messing around," she muttered, sounding scared but showing no fear.Fiancรฉ or not, he had no right to control her.He turned back to the teacher. "I'm sorry for what happened. I'll give her a good talking-to."He glanced at his secretary and ordered, "Pack her bag and have the driver ready.""Yes, sir." The secretary nodded, heading to grab Debra's things."I've got plans after school to hit the arc..." she grumbled.Juan's sharp glance cut her off. She clammed up and followed behind him.As a bodyguard opened the car door, she asked warily, "Where are you taking me?""Mr. Nichols has an important meeting,

The world was full of mysteries and miracles."Sometimes I wonder if we could really start over," Juan mused.If the world reset, everything could be rewritten. Time could roll back to when Debra was 17."You're a girl. How can you pick up smoking?" the class teacher chided her.Debra wore a modified school uniform, her long hair loosely clipped. At 17, she was already striking."Why can't girls smoke? Tons of guys do." She shrugged."That's not the point. Students shouldn't smoke," the class teacher snapped, tossing a pack of cigarettes on the desk. "Call your parents after school.""I don't have parents," she said without looking up. "They're dead.""Then get your uncle and aunt here.""Fine."She pulled out a phone, and the class teacher gaped. "You're hiding a phone too?""You told me to call them," Debra said, dialing. "Yeah, they need a parent. Come quickly. I'm hitting the arcade tonight."She hung up, and the class teacher was floored by her bluntness."You're hope
