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..."

    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

    "Isabel Vergara, are you sure you're okay?"Carl, her best friend, asked with furrowed brows while staring at her intently.Izzy forced a smile and quickly nodded."Of course! Why wouldn't I be okay?""Izzy, do you even look in the mirror? Can you still see yourself? You look like a corpse with how pale you are."Carl said with a pout, making Izzy laugh."Wow, a corpse? That's a bit much! I'm really fine, promise! By the way, thanks for the free coffee. That's why you're my favorite best friend!"She joked with a teasing grin, making Carl roll his eyes before pushing a plate of muffins toward her."You're such a freeloader. As if you have another best friend besides me—I'm the only one who puts up with your stubbornness."Izzy pouted at his grumpy tone but still accepted the snack he offered.It was just past 3 PM, and they were at the coffee shop where Izzy worked as a waitress. Fortunately, Carl arrived just as she was on her break."Why are you so grumpy today? Are you on your peri

    “Tiyong, how is Nanay doing? Have you spoken to a doctor? Is someone looking after her?”Izzy fired off one question after another to her uncle, Oscar, her mother's younger brother, as she found him standing in front of the hospital ward where her mother was.“The doctors haven’t said anything yet, Izzy. They’re still inside treating your mom—”Izzy didn’t let her uncle finish speaking. Instead, she hurriedly tried to enter the room, but before she could, her Uncle Oscar quickly stopped her.“You know we’re not allowed inside, Izzy. It’s the usual protocol, right? We have to wait out here.”His voice was gentle as he reminded her. Feeling defeated, Izzy just sat down on the hospital's marble floor.“M-my mom is going to be okay… right, Uncle?”Izzy asked, her eyes brimming with tears. Her uncle forced a reassuring smile before replying.“Of course, Izzy... I’m sure Ate Hilda will be fine. Didn’t your mother promise you that she would be there for your college graduation?She may be we

    Izzy was almost about to pee from nervousness as she sat waiting inside the taxi she had taken. She had been staring at the message from Seth Santiago for so long that she might have memorized every letter after reading it multiple times.“K-kuya, are we still far?”Izzy asked the taxi driver. She winced slightly when she heard him sigh. She couldn't blame him, though—she had asked the same question barely two minutes ago.“Just five more minutes, ma’am. The traffic is heavy, so the trip is taking longer. It looks like you're visiting someone very important.”Izzy winced again at the driver’s nosiness. Because of her extreme nervousness, she couldn't help but be irritable. She shot him a sharp glare, making him immediately look away.“You’re not a gossip, are you, sir?”“Sorry, ma’am. I just couldn't help but ask. You look like you're about to meet someone very important. Just a reminder to be careful—things aren't as safe as they used to be.”The driver said seriously, and Izzy gave

    "Take off your clothes." The words were sharp. Unfeeling. Like a blade slicing through the tense silence of the dimly lit room. Izzy’s heart slammed against her ribs. She felt the air leave her lungs as her entire body stiffened. Had she heard him correctly? Her fingers curled into the fabric of her shirt, gripping it so tightly her knuckles turned white. “P-Pardon?” Her voice was barely a whisper. Seth’s jaw clenched. His broad frame was still, but there was something in his stance—something dangerous, something unreadable—that sent a chill up her spine. His hands curled into fists at his sides, and his dark eyes pinned her in place. “Are you deaf?” His voice was flat, devoid of emotion. Her stomach twisted into knots. “No, sir…” she whispered, her pulse pounding so hard it roared in her ears. His expression didn’t change. If anything, it hardened. “Then why the hell aren’t you doing what I told you to do?” A violent shudder tore through her, and for a second,
