Izzy didn’t know how she managed to last in that house—Seth Santiago’s house—for even a few more hours. She didn’t even know how she managed to swallow the delicious food laid out on the table after hearing his response to her earlier.

"You are way too expensive only to be thrown out, Isabel…"

Izzy exhaled sharply when, out of nowhere, she once again heard Seth’s voice in her mind.

He was right. She was worth one and a half million pesos. No sane person would throw away that kind of money.

Izzy let out a bitter smile as she forced herself to remember that she was doing all of this for her mother.

At least her mother was okay now. All she had to think about was how to escape from Seth.

"We probably won’t see each other again…"

She muttered absentmindedly before choosing to turn her gaze toward the car window.

"I hope not…"

She murmured again, this time louder than before, which caught the attention of Seth’s driver.

Izzy forced a smile when the driver glanced at her, as if wondering wh

    Izzy let out a deep sigh after reading the text message. She didn’t even need to ask who sent it—there was only one person who ever messaged her like this: Seth Santiago.She rolled her eyes as she reread the message, then chose to shove her phone into her pocket.“Your boss won’t lose his mind if I ignore his text, right?”Izzy said, deliberately raising her voice so the person on the other end could hear her.She rolled her eyes again when the driver didn’t even glance at her.“We’re here.”A moment later, she heard Mang Robert’s gruff voice.Instead of responding to Seth Santiago’s grumpy driver, Izzy chose to quietly open the car door and quickly step out.“I’ll go ahead, Manong. Thanks for the ride. Please let Sir Seth know I got back to the hospital safely.”She said cheerfully, rolling her eyes when the driver simply stared at her.“Nice talking to you… You know, talking once in a while won’t kill you.”She shook her head, falling silent when the driver shot her an unimpressed

    Two weeks passed quickly, and Izzy suddenly realized that her mother was finally being discharged from the hospital.She still wasn't completely healed, but even a little improvement was better than before the operation.A wide smile spread across Izzy’s lips as she approached her mother, who was now able to sit up.“Did you pack up all our things, dear?”“I’m all done, Mom. We’re just waiting for Uncle to return, then we’ll be leaving soon.”She answered cheerfully while adjusting the shawl her mother was wearing.“That’s good. I really just want to go home… Oh, by the way, dear, have you called Sir Santiago again? When he visited, I told him I’d let him know as soon as we were discharged.”Izzy grimaced at her mother’s question, unsure of how to respond, so she forced a smile.Besides not knowing whether she should even call the man, the last time she saw Seth was the day he visited the hospital. That was also the last time she heard anything about him.Izzy wanted to believe it was

    "Ayy, do you have a date later?"Izzy almost jumped in shock when her friend suddenly peeked from behind her.She immediately shot her a glare."Pating! What the heck? Since when did you become so nosy?""Hey! Correction, it's nosy girl… I'm a woman, okay? And FYI, it wasn’t intentional. I just saw you staring at your phone like you were about to poop, so I couldn't help but take a peek."She said dramatically, even putting her hands on her waist."Eh… It's nothing, just ignore it. Pretend you didn't see anything."Izzy replied, quickly shoving her old cellphone into her pocket."Nothing, huh? Someone asked you out, didn’t they? Who is it? Don’t tell me it’s Papa Carl, because there’s no way he would text you like that."Pating pressed on, making Izzy let out a deep sigh before rolling her eyes."It's really nothing, and it’s not a date, okay? The person just wants to meet up, maybe they just have something to say.""'Just have something to say,' but the message said—'Let’s meet, late

    It was impossible to paint the expression on Seth’s face as he impatiently waited for the woman he had sent his driver, Robert, to fetch.He had already glanced at his expensive watch multiple times, shaking his head every time he saw the time.It was too late to meet with that woman now. Whatever reason Isabel Vergara had for ignoring his calls all day had better be good enough to satisfy him.Seth exhaled heavily before dropping onto the single-seater sofa in his living room. Annoyed, he grabbed the whiskey glass on the center table, swirling the liquid in his hand before downing it in one gulp.If someone asked him why on earth he wanted to see that woman this late, Seth wouldn’t have an answer. What was it about her, anyway?Aside from being overly innocent, unsophisticated, and clearly someone who had grown up on the streets based on her demeanor and speech, he couldn’t seem to shake off the urge to have her close to him.Isabel Vergara was nothing like the women he could easily

    Seth's smile deepened as he looked at Izzy, trying to suppress a laugh at her evident discomfort. He knew exactly why she was hesitant, and it wasn't the first time he'd encountered someone who felt out of place in such a lavish setting. However, his expression softened, his voice low and reassuring."You don’t need to worry about money, Izzy," he said, leaning slightly forward as his eyes locked onto hers. "I invited you here because I wanted to. No need to be shy about it."Izzy, still blushing from embarrassment, tried to find the courage to lift her gaze, but her eyes remained focused on the table. The thought of the hefty bill looming over her made her heart race even faster."I-I didn’t mean to…," she stammered, still not quite sure how to react.Seth’s voice was steady, almost amused, but there was a warmth behind it that made Izzy pause. "You’re with me tonight. And when you’re with me, the last thing you should worry about is paying for anything. Just relax and enjoy the even

    Izzy squeezed her eyes shut in embarrassment when she saw Seth laughing at her.Who was she fooling, really? Even though she had some money on her now, it was probably only enough for five hundred pesos at most.And she was sure Seth knew that, which was probably why he was laughing at her now—thinking that she was just some woman who always borrowed money.Izzy couldn’t really blame him. Just recently, she had asked him for money, and now she was borrowing from him to pay for this meal, even though he was the one who had placed the order.She pouted at the thought and then scowled at the man.“Please stop laughing at me, okay? I really don’t have money to pay here. I’m not the type to borrow money, but maybe that’s what you’re thinking. Maybe that’s why you’re laughing at me now, thinking that I’m just some woman who loves to ask for money...”Izzy said seriously, trying to make eye contact with Seth. She tried to lower her voice, afraid that she’d embarrass herself even more in fron

    In response to Izzy’s refusal to go back to Seth Santiago’s house, she couldn’t do anything but agree after he said the words: "If you think that I am asking you, you are mistaken. I want you to stay with me tonight and I won’t take no for an answer…" Izzy unconsciously frowned when she seemed to hear that gruff voice of the man again. Aside from feeling irritated with him, it seemed her frustration was even stronger with herself. For some unknown reason, she felt that she had no right to refuse him. "Isabel, I am glad you decided to stay with me here tonight," Seth immediately said as soon as they entered his expensive condo. He even gave her a mischievous grin as if he intended to annoy her more. Izzy forced a smile at the man while trying hard not to glare at him. "You won’t take no for an answer, right?" she responded philosophically, choosing to look around the elegant condo unit instead. It’s so clean here, and it even smells good, like an angel lives here… She mu

    “Is this where I’ll sleep?”Izzy asked in disbelief as Seth led her into a large room.She was so awestruck by the size of the room that she couldn’t hide her amazement. She couldn’t help but wonder if she needed to ask Seth whether she was the only one who would be sleeping there.“This is my room, Isabel…”Seth said nonchalantly, not taking his sharp gaze off her.“S-so why did you bring me here?”“Psh… Isn’t it obvious? I want you to stay here with me. You’ll be sleeping in my bed, Isabel.”He shrugged, causing Izzy to freeze in surprise.She didn’t know how to respond, so she just nodded, forcing herself not to ask why.She thought she already knew the answer to that question, whether she asked him or not.How did you end up in this situation, Izzy? What kind of person is this guy you’re with?She whispered to herself, biting her lip tightly when her gaze accidentally landed on the large, seemingly expensive bed in the room.She quickly scanned the room, hoping to find a sofa or s

    Izzy could only stare at herself in the large mirror in front of her. She couldn't help but marvel at her own appearance.“See? You’ll be the star of the party later… Whoever gave you these things knew exactly what he was doing… That gown looks amazing on you, Izzy…”Andrea said to her with a big smile. She was the one who styled Izzy, while Margaux did her hair.“I still think straight hair would have been better, we should’ve kept it all natural.”Margaux said with a pout.“Come on, your curls look fantastic, it’s still straight, just curly… ”Andrea laughed.“I don’t know, I still think straight looks better... Ohh, and I kept thinking, I’m sure that the person who gave you the gown and everything else will also be there.”“The party?”Andrea asked, raising an eyebrow. Margaux smirked.“I mean yeah, no sh*t the guy knew about the party, I bet he’d be there later… Do you think he would go through the trouble of giving you such a beautiful gown and jewelry if he wasn’t?

    Izzy didn't know how many minutes she had been staring at the gifts she received from Seth. She didn’t know what else to think, because no matter how hard she tried, there was only one option she knew.To refuse them.But how?She asked herself, unconsciously sighing as she shifted her gaze to the card she was still holding. She wasn’t sure what to do, so she just stuffed it in her pocket along with the phone.Before she could figure out what to do with them, a rapid knocking on her door caught her attention. It opened before she even had the chance to hide the gown and jewelry.“Holy mother of cheese! Where the hell did you get all this stuff, Izzy?”Andrea exclaimed, her eyes wide. She was one of Carl’s sisters. She was a few years older than Izzy, but she was more bubbly and had a bit of a flair.“No sh*t, you got all this… I’ve been looking for this gown forever!”She said, amazed. Izzy didn’t realize that Andrea had already approached the bed where the box was.“Oh God, and the b

    "Are you okay? You look weird..."Carl asked Izzy with a furrowed brow as they ate. She pretended to roll her eyes."Weird? What are you talking about? I'm fine. Just thinking."She said, grabbing her glass of orange juice from the table."Are you still thinking about your mom, Hilda?"Carl asked, concerned. Izzy forced a smile and nodded slowly."S-she's never left my mind, Carl."She replied.How could she tell her friend that besides her mother, she couldn’t stop thinking about the man who was hiding in the bathroom earlier.Seth Santiago was probably furious with her, especially since she promised she would talk to Carl quickly."Izzy, stop wasting your energy thinking about that man. He's old enough to take care of himself. He’s probably already gone by now, right?"She mentally berated herself, wincing at the thought.But what if he was still there, waiting?Izzy let out a frustrated sigh, unconsciously shifting her gaze to the road leading to the hotel room they were staying in

    Izzy's eyes snapped open at the sound of a rapid knocking on the door. She was about to get up to answer it when she stopped short, noticing the heavy arm draped across her waist.Nervous, she cautiously glanced at the man beside her, momentarily forgetting how they had fallen asleep. Despite her worry about whoever was outside, she couldn’t help but smile as she briefly admired his handsome face. He was sound asleep, his features peaceful and serene, a stark contrast to his usual stoic expression.She spent a few moments gazing at Seth Santiago, only moving when she heard the insistent knocking again. Izzy’s eyes quickly shifted to his strong arm around her waist, her mind racing. Should she wake him up? Or should she try to slip out, knowing that whoever was outside wouldn’t be able to see Seth Santiago in her bed?Izzy let out a frustrated sigh and looked at the door.“It’s too early for the party, Isabel. You still have time to rest… Let him think that you’re still sleeping.”Seth

    Izzy felt like her lips would bleed from how hard she was biting them, holding her breath as she tried to meet Seth Santiago’s intense gaze.She had no idea how many minutes had passed now, with Seth still not saying a word after the last thing she blurted out earlier.I’m ready to pay, Seth Santiago…Who was she kidding?Even if she waited days, weeks, or months, she would never truly be ready for this. And she knew Seth was well aware of that too.Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at her like this.Feeling overwhelmed by the flood of thoughts and the shame creeping up her spine, Izzy instinctively averted her gaze.“Hey…”His gentle voice called out to her, and before she could completely look away, Seth had already reached out, tipping her chin up to make her face him again.Izzy forced a smile."I-I know... I know you're thinking I’m just saying all this because I'm drowning in grief right now…”She muttered, struggling to meet his eyes."Am I wrong?""I-I don’t know..."she whisp
