“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 Cold, withdrawn, like he didn’t care about anything.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.

  • Love Beyond Contact (English Version)   Chapter 17: Market of Emotions

    ★Sienna’s Point of View★I couldn’t say no. I ended up joining Denver on a market run—though “joining” might be a stretch, considering I’ve barely said a word since we left. I just stared out the window, pretending to admire the passing scenery, while ignoring the man beside me.Who would've thought someone as rich and powerful as Denver actually shops for groceries himself? The silence between us was awkward—too awkward.“Sienna, can I ask you something?” he finally spoke.I turned to him for a second but quickly looked away, choosing to fix my gaze on the road instead. I didn’t respond.“W-what... kind... of things do you like to do?” he asked carefully, like he was unsure of every word.Wait, did I hear that right? Is he seriously asking me about my interests? Is this part of some prank? Or maybe… he’s just trying to make conversation? Either way, I didn’t answer. My emotions were all over the place, and I wasn’t in the mood to open up. Was I still feeling jealous? Ugh. I didn’t kn

  • Love Beyond Contact (English Version)   Chapter 16: Of Surgeries And Jealousy

    ★Sienna’s Point of View★An hour had passed since Mama's surgery ended. Denver and I were waiting quietly outside the operating room. We had left Kuya Steve in his hospital room to rest—he was getting better and might even be discharged in a couple of days.“I hope Mama’s operation went well,” I whispered under my breath, clasping my hands together in silent prayer.“Don’t worry,” Denver said, his voice calm but confident. “All the doctors here are the best.”I turned to look at him. He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the operating room doors. I followed his line of sight just as the doors swung open and Dr. Reyes, the surgeon who handled Mama’s operation, stepped out.“Doctor! How’s Mama?” I asked quickly, walking up to him.“Good news,” he replied with a reassuring smile. “The surgery was successful. We expect her to regain consciousness in a day or two. I’ll come back to check on her progress later.”“Thank you so much, Doctor,” I said with heartfelt g

  • Love Beyond Contact (English Version)    Chapter 15: The Cost of Love and Blood

    After we finished eating, Denver’s mother politely excused herself. She said she had to return to the hospital soon—her duties called. I never imagined their family owned six hospitals here in the Philippines. It was overwhelming just thinking about the wealth and influence his family had.“Get dressed now. Mama’s surgery is early. We might not make it if we delay,” Denver reminded me urgently. I nodded without question and hurried to change clothes. I silently prayed her operation would be successful. Please, Lord… spare my mother.“Sienna, I have good news for you!” Denver called out happily as I came down the stairs.“What is it?” I asked, excitement bubbling in my voice.“Your brother Steve… he’s awake,” he replied with a bright smile.“What? Oh my God. Thank you, Lord!” I said, tears instantly springing to my eyes. “Can we go see him now?”“Of course,” he said and led the way out of the mansion. I followed, my heart racing. Kuya Steve is finally awake… thank you.★Soriano General

    “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

    “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
