Adrian's POV

The day had been good but I that afternoon, I wasn’t so lucky.

Dia showed up.

She didn’t knock. She never did. She just sauntered into my office, red stilettos clicking against the marble like gunshots.

“Adrian,” she said in that sultry, singsong tone. “Bakit hindi ka sumasagot sa mga tawag ko, ni hindi ka nag-re-reply sa messages ko?”

“Maybe because I didn’t want to," deretso kong sagot.

She pouted, dramatically. “You’re so cold.”

“You’re so persistent... and annoying,”

“I saved your grandmother,” she reminded me.

“Ten years ago,” I said flatly. “We’ve paid for your entire medical school tuition. I even sent you to Europe for that stupid pastry class. You're living in our property and you get money from us all the time,”

“That was culinary immersion,” she corrected. “Besides, you can’t put a price on fate and life-debt.”

I sighed and waved at Blaster through the glass when I saw him. I used to treat Dia like my own sister dahil akala ko ay isa siya

  • Hiding The CEO's Son   Chapter 7

    Llilieth’s POV It was a usual morning. Ang araw ay malumanay na sumisilip sa mga bintana ng Lily’s Table, kasabay ng mainit na amoy ng kape at bagong lutong sinangag. Tahimik ang paligid. Walang masyadong tao—ganoon talaga tuwing weekdays. Nasa school si Kaze, kaya for once, it was quiet inside the restaurant. Thursday ngayon kaya malamang bukas na naman magdadagsaan ang mga customer.At sa harap ko, si Vience—he was sipping his coffee calmly pero alam kong naghihintay lang siyang magsimula akong magsalita."Vien, magiging masama ba akong ina kung ilalayo ko si Kaze kay Adrian?" I asked, hoping he'd give me the answer I want.Ngumiti siya at inilapag sa mesa ang tasa. "Lily, you're the purest person I know. Kung ano man ang magiging desisyon mo, alam kong para iyon sa ikabubuti ng anak mo." Aniya.Bumuntong-hinga ako. "I told him he can spend time with Kaze."Ngumiti siya at muling kinuha ang tasa. “Mabuti na lang at napag-

  • Hiding The CEO's Son   Chapter 5

    Adrian's POV The city lights outside my office window blurred into one continuous stream of anxiety.My hands were clenched on the desk. I wasn’t even touching my tablet, but I kept staring at the blank screen as if it would suddenly fill with the DNA results I’d been waiting for.“Boss sir.”Ni hindi ko gaanong napansin ang pagpasok ni Blaster sa office ko, he was holding a white envelope in his hand. His voice was calm but firm.“They’re here. Iiwan ko na lang sa table mo,”"No, stay," pigil ko sa kanya nang akma na siyang aalis. "I don't think I can do it by myself."Bahagya siyang ngumiti at huminga ng malalim. "I didn't know the great Adrian Raugh Lanes has something that can make him nervous." He joked but I didn't say anything.I’ve stared at this envelope for twenty-seven minutes. I counted.It’s sitting on my desk, unopened, like a bomb waiting to go off.Across from me, Blaster started eating his bag of banana chips like it’s just another day."Open it. You won't know unles

  • Hiding The CEO's Son   Chapter 4

    Chapter 4 Llilieth’s POV It's been almost a week since that unexpected encounter with Adrian but my heart still feels restless. Hindi ko siya inaasahan. Hindi ko siya hinanap. Pero dumating siya. Bigla. Walang babala. At ngayon, kahit anong pilit kong bumalik sa normal, kahit anong ulit ng "okay lang 'to" sa sarili ko, hindi pa rin ako mapalagay. Nasa restaurant kami. Si Kaze, gaya ng dati, ay masiglang naglalaro sa sulok ang anak ko. Gumawa siya ng spaceship gamit ang LEGO at sinasabi niyang pupunta raw siya sa Saturn para maghanap ng tsokolate. Natatawa si Vience habang pinapanood siya. Ako naman, tahimik lang, pinipilit pakalmahin ang puso kong parang may inaabangang pagsabog. "Hey," tawag ni Vience, sabay lapit sa akin. "You’re spacing out again. You'll worry your son." Napabuntong-hininga ako. "Sorry. Hindi ko lang... hindi ko lang mapigil isipin." “Si Adrian?” Tahimik akong tumango. "Ang daming tanong sa isip ko, Vience. What if he finds out? What if he comes back, not

  • Hiding The CEO's Son   Chapter 3

    Chapter 3Adrian’s POV I don’t usually talk to random kids. Actually, I avoid them. They’re noisy. They ask too many questions. They get too close too fast—messy little creatures with sticky hands and wandering eyes. I’ve built a life around silence and distance. I prefer it that way. Cold, detached, simple. But this one… this curious little boy who came stumbling into my shadow with wide, observant eyes—he was different. “Mister, can you help me wash my hands?” He asked politely. I hesitated but his pleading eyes took a toll on me. “Sure.” While washing both our hands, he stared at mine. “Mister, why do you have a tattoo on your hand?” His voice was soft but sure, unafraid. He pointed at my wrist, his gaze focused and steady. There was no hesitation, no filter. Just wonder. I stared back at him. Most kids would’ve been intimidated. Most adults, even. But not him. Napangiti ako ng bahagya—halos hindi ko namalayan. “Just a design,” sagot ko. “So I won't forget something that w

  • Hiding The CEO's Son   Chapter 2

    Chapter 2Llilieth’s POVAng lamig ng aircon sa clinic habang nakaupo kami ni Kaze sa waiting area. Tahimik ang buong paligid, tila natutulog pa ang mundo. Weekday ngayon at maaga pa, kaya halos kami lang ang naroon. Walang ibang tunog kundi ang mahinang ugong ng aircon at paminsan-minsang pag-flip ng magazine ng receptionist sa lamesa niya.Regular dental check-up lang dapat ito—isang bagay na ordinaryo, paulit-ulit, walang dapat ikabahala. Pero may ibang bumabagabag sa dibdib ko. Hindi ko maipaliwanag. Hindi dahil sa appointment. Hindi rin dahil sa kung anong konkretong dahilan. Maybe it was just... instinct? O baka dahil masyado nang tahimik. Yung klaseng katahimikang parang kulang na lang ay may pumutok na lobo.“Mommy, I want to pee,” bulong ni Kaze habang hinahatak ang laylayan ng blouse ko.Napatingin ako sa kanya at tinapik ang kanyang ulo. “You want me to go with you?” Tanong ko.Umiling siya. “I can go by myself.”Ngumiti ako. “Sige, doon lang sa may hallway, baby. May sign.
