I helped Maria cook three dishes—Pakbet, Tinola, and Adobo—all of which, they told me, were Denver’s favorites. It was a bit nerve-wracking trying to help in a kitchen that wasn’t mine, but everyone was so kind and patient. We moved around like a well-oiled machine, chopping, stirring, tasting. I felt like I was part of the family, even if just for a while. The air was filled with the smell of garlic and ginger, and the comforting aroma of adobo simmering in soy sauce and vinegar.

After we finished cooking, we carefully arranged the food on serving dishes and carried them to the dining table. Everything looked delicious, and I was honestly proud of what we had done together. Luisa was quick on her feet, efficiently setting the table with plates and silverware, her movements practiced and graceful. She placed the last spoon beside a bowl and nodded with satisfaction.

Just then, Manang approached me, her expression calm and gentle. “Sienna, Master Denver said he’ll be home late tonight.

    “Just one night. That’s all I’m asking.” he said, his voice calm but firm.“Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything to you. Just do this—for Mom. She doesn’t know anything about us,” he added, his eyes softening a little.I sighed, clutching my arms around myself. “Okay… just don’t try anything, okay?” I replied warily. He only laughed, of course he did. Then, as always, he took a step closer.There he goes again. Why does he always have to close the distance between us like that? One small push, and we’d be close enough to kiss. And the way he looks at me—it’s disarming.“Yes, ma’am. Now go shower so we can sleep—” he stepped even closer, and before I could react, he leaned in near my ear.“Babe,” he whispered teasingly.He straightened up with a grin plastered on his face, looking all too proud of himself. I could only bow my head, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.“I’ll go ahead. Follow me to our room,” he said before walking off casually.Good grief, Sienna. Did he really just c

    “Seven years ago, he used to be so irritable,” Mom said quietly, her eyes drifting toward Denver. “He’d lock himself in his room all day, ignoring everyone around him. Cold, withdrawn, like he didn’t care about anything. But for reasons I still can’t fully explain, little by little… he began to change.”I followed her gaze, my eyes landing on Denver. He was laughing softly with his brother, relaxed in a way I’d never seen before. And for the first time, I noticed something I’d somehow missed — he looked genuinely handsome when he smiled.“That’s why, Sienna,” she continued, turning back to me, “if he ever hurts you or does something you don’t understand, please… give him a chance to explain.”She gently took my hand in both of hers. “Please… take care of Denver. I don’t want him to go back to the person he used to be.”All I could do was nod silently. Her words, her vulnerability — they pierced through something inside me. Then she pulled me into a warm, motherly hug.“Mom, can I borr

    “Let me help you,” I offered as I walked into the kitchen.“No need, ma’am. You still need to get ready,” Cara said quickly, gently stopping me with a kind smile.“Yes, ma’am. We’ll handle this. Please, go to the living room and relax. We’ll prepare your breakfast,” added Luisa.I smiled, but I shook my head. “It’s okay, really. I’ll take care of breakfast this time.”Before they could protest further, I grabbed two plates from the cabinet, picked up the utensils, and began setting the table. I knew they were trying to be helpful, but this was something I wanted to do myself. Even when Maria tried to stop me, I gave her a look that told her I wasn’t backing down.I prepared everything for the two of us — fried rice, eggs, some fruits — and even brewed a cup of coffee for him.“Good morning, Sien.”I turned toward the familiar voice. It was Denver — just woken up, hair tousled, still looking unfairly good. I didn’t answer and simply sat down at the table.“You’ve got something,” he sai

    “Ma’am Sienna, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be resting? Please, go back to your room or Master Denver will be upset with us,” said Manang Lita, her voice tinged with genuine concern as she spotted me walking barefoot into the garden, hose in hand.“I’m already feeling much better,” I said, smiling as I adjusted the hose. “It’s just so boring in the room. There’s nothing to do there. Don’t worry, he won’t know about this,” I added, giving her a playful wink.As water flowed out of the hose, gently sprinkling over the bed of bright flowers, I heard Cara mutter from behind me, “Ma’am Sienna is really stubborn.” Her tone was teasing, and Manang chuckled softly beside her.Truthfully, I didn’t mind doing housework. I was used to it. Tasks like watering the garden or sweeping dried leaves were things I grew up doing. They were oddly comforting—routine, predictable. They gave my hands something to do, even if my mind still wandered. But even with the garden work, I couldn’t shake t

    “By the way, thanks for your help,” I said as I took another bite of food. “I'll do anything for you,” he replied, chewing his meal too.★Denver’s Point of View★ I meant what I said. I’ll do anything to protect her—even if she still hasn’t forgiven me for what I did to her brother. She may not say it outright, but I know the grudge is still there, hidden behind her soft eyes. Still, the more time I spend with her, the deeper I fall. Watching her eat, unaware of the chaos that still swirls outside this quiet room, makes me feel something I never thought I’d feel again—peace.But peace never lasts long in my world.A few moments later, my phone started ringing. I stepped out of Sienna’s room quietly so I wouldn't disturb her—it was Xandro.“Denver, bad news,” he said the second I answered. “What is it?” I asked, already bracing myself. “Your dad… he helped Lisha get out. He pulled strings with his friend, the Director General,” Xandro said.I clenched my jaw so tight I thought my te
