The wedding of Lucas Villareal and Rhea Benitez was nothing short of enchanting. Set in the sprawling garden of a luxury estate within Manila, the venue was transformed into a dreamy wonderland. White chairs lined both sides of a petal-strewn aisle, facing a floral arch draped in soft chiffon and adorned with blush pink and white roses. Cherry blossom-inspired petals blanketed the path, and lanterns hung from nearby trees, casting a soft glow in the afternoon light.

Most of the guests were members of the esteemed Villareal family, along with Lucas’s closest friends, including his spirited circle of flamboyant gay besties who added extra flair to the occasion. Soft classical music from a live string quartet drifted through the air as the wedding coordinator signaled the start of the ceremony.

The processional began with the groomsmen and bridesmaids walking arm in arm down the aisle, dressed in coordinated pastel tones. Lucas’s parents and trusted friends made up most of the entourage.

    Rhea was jolted awake by the sound of persistent knocking. Groggy and disoriented, she dragged herself to the door and opened it. Standing outside were the three sisters—Luciana, Luca, and Lucia—already dressed, their faces a mix of curiosity and excitement.“Oh my gosh, sis! What happened to your eyes?” Luciana exclaimed dramatically, placing a manicured hand over her chest. Her mouth dropped in mock horror as she leaned closer. “Why do you suddenly look like you’ve got slits for eyes? You look more Chinese than Korean!”Rhea blinked, then rolled her eyes in disbelief. “It’s nothing. I just didn’t get enough sleep.”Luca stepped forward, her brows furrowed slightly, her gentle features creased with concern. “Did you just wake up?” she asked softly, her tone more careful than the others. Rhea chuckled under her breath. “Glad to see you’re back to being your usual talkative self. The past few days, you looked like you were carrying the world on your shoulders.”Luca gave a small smile,

    “Clinton? W-what are you doing here?” Rhea asked in disbelief, her eyes wide as saucers. She instinctively pointed a finger at the man in front of her, her boss, as if trying to confirm he was real.Clinton laughed—a rich, amused sound that echoed through the resort path. “That reaction,” He said between chuckles, shaking his head, “never fails. You’re always so dramatic. It’s honestly entertaining.”Rhea blinked a few times, still trying to process his presence. “Wait a minute. What are you seriously doing here? This resort is closed to the public today. It's the owner's son's birthday. Don’t tell me… you’re invited?”Clinton gave her a mischievous grin. “And what if I am?”Her jaw dropped slightly. “You are?”“The birthday celebrant is my cousin,” He explained casually, as if this were the most natural thing in the world. “His mom invited me and my dad. But Dad got caught up with an urgent hospital matter, so I ended up coming alone.”Rhea's surprise shifted to wistfulness at the me

    It was already ten in the morning by the time Rhea finally secured a few days off from work. Her boss, Clinton, had given his approval with surprising ease. Apparently, he had plans of his own and wouldn’t be coming to the office either. He granted her a three-day leave, but not without a condition: she had to promise she would return afterward.A fair deal. Clinton was a kind boss, after all. Then again, Rhea had always had a certain charm when it came to convincing people.Now she found herself wedged into the backseat of a crowded van with Lucas’s siblings. They were en route to Ruffa’s birthday getaway, a trip that had somehow transformed into a chaotic family affair. Naturally, Luciana had invited herself along. She now sat glued to Ruffa’s side, her perfectly manicured fingers latched onto his arm like a leech. Ruffa looked visibly uncomfortable, his jaw clenched and eyes fixed straight ahead. But Luciana, ever the persistent one, ignored his stiff posture.She had practically c

    Lucas woke up feeling unusually light. As he sat up in bed, he caught the small towel that had slipped from his forehead. Stretching, he let his gaze wander across the room before it landed on a basin filled with water.He rose from the bed and headed straight to the bathroom to perform his usual morning routine. The smell of something cooking wafted into his room, confirming that his wife was already in the kitchen. The delicious aroma stirred his hunger.After finishing in the bathroom, Lucas stepped out of his room and instinctively looked around for his wife. When he didn’t find her in the living room, he quietly made his way to the kitchen. There, as expected, he saw Rhea, her back turned, busy preparing breakfast.He was about to approach her and ask what she was cooking when he noticed her cellphone vibrating on the island counter. Lucas glanced at Rhea to see if she had noticed it. When she didn’t turn around or react, he silently reached for the phone without permission.“The

    Clinton and Rhea spent the afternoon at an amusement park, seated on a bench where they had a clear view of the vibrant crowd. The place was alive with energy. Families strolled by, laughter floating in the air. Children clutched colorful balloons, their faces lit with excitement, while couples walked hand in hand beneath the soft golden hue of the afternoon sun.Rhea’s gaze lingered on a group of teenagers stumbling off a roller coaster, their screams of excitement still echoing in the air. Her lips curled into a faint smile, though it didn’t quite touch her eyes. The cheerful noise around them only seemed to make her thoughts louder.After a quiet pause, she spoke, her voice soft but laced with curiosity. “Do you know Cristoff?”Clinton had just taken a sip of water. He finished drinking and then turned to face her, his expression thoughtful.“Yeah, we were classmates in college,” he replied matter-of-factly.Rhea nodded, letting the information sink in. Her eyes dropped briefly to

    Clinton, whom Rhea still jokingly referred to as “Stranger,” had brought her to a quiet, modern restaurant tucked along a less crowded side street. With his own sleek black SUV and confident driving, the trip had been smooth and quick.“You can sit here,” he said with a smile, pulling out a chair for her like a gentleman straight out of a drama.Rhea smiled faintly and took the seat he offered. There was something about his calm demeanor that felt both familiar and disarming.Clinton settled across from her and raised a hand to call the waiter. Through the glass wall beside them, Rhea had a clear view of the street. Outside, the occasional car passed, and the late afternoon sun cast long shadows on the pavement, filling the space with a soft golden hue. The atmosphere inside was quiet, with just the subtle hum of conversation from other diners.“What would you like to eat?” he asked, his tone polite but easygoing.“I’ll have whatever you’re having,” she replied, leaning back in her se
