On a Saturday, Izzy had no classes, but even so, she still woke up early. It was only around 4 AM, and she had already showered and was ready to leave for the coffee shop where she worked. However, just as she was about to leave the house, she immediately received a text from her friend and coworker, Gina.

"Good morning, I'm on duty today and I know you're already awake. Boss asked me to tell you that you don’t need to go to work for the next few days, and don’t worry, your leave is paid."

Izzy immediately frowned when she read that text. For other people, they might have been jumping for joy at the thought of a few paid days off, but not Izzy. She would rather work herself to exhaustion than stay idle at home all day.

"I'll just remember you, Mom, I'll just get hurt again..."

She said this quietly to herself, then sighed loudly before going back inside the house.

She threw her sling bag carelessly somewhere, then slumped down onto the small cot made from old plywood.

It was Saturday,

    Izzy had already disembarked from the plane she and Carl boarded on their way to Cagayan, but the nervousness still wouldn't leave her. She couldn't help but think—What if the Seth Santiago, Carl's uncle, and the Seth Santiago she knew were the same person?How would that be, Izzy?She asked herself, letting out a heavy sigh, which immediately caught her best friend's attention.“Are you okay?”Carl asked, furrowing his brow, but Izzy quickly nodded and forced a smile.“I’m fine… Why?”“You sighed so deeply, like something was bothering you. We’re here in Cagayan now, Izzy… We’ll be here for at least four days, and I don’t want you to worry about anything. This is a vacation, so I just want you to enjoy and relax here.”“That’s a long speech…”She pouted jokingly, not content and even gave him a playful glare before speaking again.“And yes, I know… I know that you brought me here so that I can forget about Mom, but don’t worry, I’ll try to enjoy our trip here in Cagayan. And I’m fin

    Welcome to my hotel, baby girl…Izzy couldn’t respond after hearing the deep, baritone voice of the man. Instead of answering, she remained silent, trying to avoid his lingering gaze.“Cat got your tongue?”He asked with a grin while slowly walking closer. Izzy unconsciously stepped back, feeling as though she were facing a long-time, dangerous adversary.“Don’t make it obvious that you don’t want to see me…”He said, almost pouting, accompanied by a slight frown, which made it impossible for Izzy not to smile faintly.“I-I don’t mean it like that... I-I just didn’t expect to see you here…”She lied.Who exactly was she fooling? After all, from her house to the ride to the hotel, the thought of Seth Santiago—the man in front of her and her best friend’s uncle—was one and the same.And now, she didn’t need to think anymore, the answer was right in front of her.Izzy bit her lower lip, realizing she couldn’t retreat any longer, especially when she nearly sat on the bed to avoid him.“I-

    Izzy felt like her lips were about to bleed from how hard she was biting them, struggling to breathe as she met Seth Santiago’s intense gaze.She had no idea how many minutes had passed since she said those words to him, yet he remained silent, just staring at her.I’m ready to pay you back, Seth Santiago...Who was she kidding? She knew deep down, even if days, weeks, or months passed, she would never truly be ready. And Seth knew it too.Otherwise, he wouldn’t be looking at her like that.Flustered and humiliated, Izzy finally broke eye contact."Hey..."Seth’s voice was low and tender. Before she could turn away completely, he gently caught her chin, forcing her to face him again.Izzy tried to muster a smile."I-I know what you’re thinking... That maybe I'm just saying this because I'm overwhelmed by everything I’m feeling right now..."She whispered, barely able to hold his gaze."And... aren't you?""I... I don't know..."She muttered, eyes darting away again, focusing instead o

    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

    "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 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

    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? The guy will

    Even though the guy didn't say anything, Izzy could still feel his intense stare on Seth. Because of that, Izzy wasn’t sure what to do, especially since, even though she hadn’t been looking at Seth, she knew his gaze was just as intense when directed at the man who introduced himself as Mark earlier. “Dude, I know everything here belongs to you, everyone knows that, but I didn’t realize even the guests here are still your property.” Mark said arrogantly, and Izzy felt Seth's grip tighten on her arm, a sign of his growing irritation. Seth hadn’t even spoken yet, but she was already feeling the overwhelming urge to flee in fear and anxiety. “I am not your dude, Marcus. Just get the f*ck out of here.” Seth’s command was nearly a whisper, but firm, and the man managed to smile again before responding. “As you wish…” He said, then turned toward Izzy. “Don’t worry, Izzy, we’ll meet again. By then, you’ll be mine. For now, enjoy your master’s company.” “I said, just get the f*ck out

    “So, you want to stay here with me tonight?” Seth’s smile was so wide, it almost reached his ears as he asked the question. Izzy immediately looked away, trying her best not to glare at him. “If you don’t want to, I can leave... It’s already pretty late,” she replied, making sure to avoid eye contact. “Come on, you just said earlier that you didn’t want to leave, Isabel.” “Well, since you already heard that, why ask again?” “I just wanted to hear you say it out loud again... Took you some time to realize how much you want to be with me... Admit it... You want me too.” Izzy knew he was still smiling, even though she wasn’t looking at him. The more she avoided his gaze, the harder it became to hold her composure. “You happy now? What, do you think it’s your birthday or something? And I didn’t say I want you too, I just said I don’t want to go back to my room... They’re two different things…” Izzy felt her cheeks heat up, biting her lip tightly, hoping it would somehow ease the a

    Izzy couldn’t understand how she ended up looking for Seth Santiago at this hour, but she probably had some doubts about why she was searching for him at such a late time. “He’s inside. Who are you? What do you need?” The woman asked, her brows almost meeting in a frown as she stared at Izzy intently. Izzy wanted to ask who she was and what she was doing there, but she couldn’t bring herself to. She knew she had no right to ask. “I-I just need to talk to him… But never mind, I’ll come back another time—” “Leila, who is that?” Izzy almost wished the ground would swallow her in embarrassment when she heard the voice of a man from inside. “Some woman looking for Seth,” the woman named Leila replied. “Well, why don’t you invite her in? Maybe Seth was expecting her. I’ll go get him.” The man said with a big smile as he approached them. “Hi!” He greeted her, and Izzy forced a smile in return. “H-hello, good evening…” “How come Seth would be expecting someone this late?” “Don’t

    It was already past midnight when the party finally ended. With everything that had happened that night, Izzy lost track of time and couldn’t even remember how she had ended up agreeing to have coffee with Carl at a nearby coffee shop after initially rejecting the invitation. Aside from being exhausted, the gown she was wearing was starting to irritate her. It was comfortable enough, but she wasn’t used to wearing such things. She’d much rather be in an old oversized T-shirt and sweatpants than in a dress. Izzy also didn’t know how she managed to avoid Seth Santiago all night after she had suddenly distanced herself from him earlier when someone approached him to talk. "But how long are you planning to keep avoiding him, Izzy? I feel like I can't keep doing that, especially now that Margaux knows about my connection with him... She’ll probably keep asking me about it." She muttered to herself as she stood in front of the large bathroom mirror in her hotel room. She had just finish

    Izzy could barely resist the urge to kiss and hug Margaux tightly as she suddenly pulled her away from Carl without a word. It was as if she was escaping Carl's probing questions about her and Seth. Izzy knew this moment wouldn’t last long. Later, when Carl had the chance again, he would probably ask her the same questions. Still, she was grateful. At least this gave her a moment to think about what she would say to her best friend, just in case. "How long have you and Uncle Seth known each other, Izzy?" Izzy bit her lip tightly as she remembered Carl's question. She knew she could lie to Carl, but how long would that work? Her thoughts were racing, so much so that she didn't realize Margaux had already led her to a table. A few strangers sat there, likely around her and Margaux's age. Friends or relatives? Izzy asked herself, forcing a smile when Margaux glanced her way. "Come hang out with me for a while. You can get away from Carl even if just for a bit, Izzy..." Margaux said
