“You cannot just make my ex wait outside your gate like that.”

His gaze lifted, calm and infuriating. “I can.”

Baliw na ’to.

“He came here uninvited.”

“So?”

“So he waits.”

May kung ano sa paraan ng pagkakasabi niya no’n na biglang nagpahigpit sa sikmura ko. Too calm. Too final.

I folded my arms. “You don’t get to decide who I see.”

One brow lifted. “No?”

“No.”

He leaned back slightly. “Then go ahead.”

Kumunot ang noo ko. “Why does that sound like a trap?”

“Because you assume everything I say is

    “Yes.”“Very comforting,” sagot ko.He ignored that at naglakad papunta sa side table, setting my bag down with more care than I expected. “You can take the bed.”Napablink ako. “What?”His gaze flicked over to me. “You heard me.”“You’re giving me your bed?”“I’m not sleeping much tonight anyway.”Hindi ’yun nakatulong sa pakiramdam ko. At all. I folded my arms. “And where are you sleeping?”His eyes moved sa long sofa malapit sa mga bintana. Tinitigan ko ’yun, tapos siya, tapos balik sa sofa.“That is not a real option.”“It’s fine.”“No, it isn’t.” Itinuro ko ’yung sofa. “That thing is decorative.”“It’s not.”“It literally looks like it was designed para sa isang dramatic billionaire breakdown, not actual sleep.”His mouth tilted, just barely. There it was. That almost smile again.“I’ll survive.”“Very inspiring.”He loosened his cuffs at nagsimulang mag-unbutton ng isang sleeve. I looked away immediately. Siyempre. Because I was still a person with limits. Weak ones, apparently,

    “Did someone call you?”For one second, nakatitig lang ako kay Vladimir. Then at my phone. Then back sa kanya. My hand was still wrapped so tightly around it na ramdam ko na ang sakit sa mga daliri ko.“Yeah. Do you know who it is?” I asked.His gaze didn’t leave my face. “What did he say?”Biglang nanuyo ang lalamunan ko. “He said I should’ve left while I still could.”Something in Vladimir’s face changed. Hindi sa maingay na paraan. It was worse. Everything about him got still.He stepped closer. “Did you recognize the voice?”I shook my head. “No.”He held out his hand. “Phone.”Normally, sasagot ako ng sarcastic. Something difficult. Something just to prove na kaya ko pa rin siyang tarayan. But the call had rattled me more than I wanted to admit, kaya inabot ko sa kanya ang phone nang walang reklamo.He checked the screen, jaw tightening nung nakita niyang blocked ang number. Siyempre.“This number won’t trace cleanly,” he said.“Wow. Love that.”His eyes flicked up to mine. Just

    “You should be careful.”I laughed. “That word is very overused in this house.”“I’m serious.”“And I’m bored.”Her eyes narrowed just a little. “You think this is a game.”“No,” I said. “I think you’re standing in a house your ex doesn’t want you in, trying very hard na takutin ako, and honestly, it’s a little embarrassing.”For the first time, her face lost some of that perfect ease.“You don’t understand what you’re stepping into,” she said softly.Kumunot ang noo ko. “Then explain it.”Her eyes flicked toward the staircase, tapos balik sa akin. “You should leave before his uncle decides you matter.”A chill ran down my arms.I searched her face. “Why are you telling me this?”She looked away first. “Because someone should.”And then footsteps sounded behind me. I didn’t have to turn to know who it was. Mabilis na nagbago ang hangin, too fast, too sharply.Vladimir.He came down the stairs in dark slacks and a gray shirt, phone in one hand, at ang igting ng panga niya was enough to

    “Then maybe I’ll hate you for that too.” He smirked. Bago ko pa mahimasmasan ang sarili ko, before pride could save me or anger could put itself back together, he leaned in. Hindi naman buong-buo. Just enough na dumampi ang gilid ng labi niya sa sulok ng sa akin. Too quick to be a real kiss. Too deliberate to be an accident. My breath caught so sharply it almost hurt. Parang nagliyab ang bawat nerve sa katawan ko nang sabay-sabay. And pagkatapos, he pulled back. Sapat lang para matitigan ako. Still close. Still warm. Still devastating. I stared at him, completely wrecked by one half-second of contact. “You are unbelievable,” I whispered. His hand slid from my wrist to my waist. Just once. Sapat lang para alalayan ako nung muntik na akong pagtaksilan ng mga tuhod ko. His voice, when it came, was low enough to ruin me all over again. “No,” he said. “I’m being careful. Go back to your room, Selene. Goodnight.” I didn’t have a good night. Hindi ako nakatulog ulit. I mean,

    “Gonna what?” Kumunot ang noo ko. I was too scared to let him finish talking. Bumuntong hininga siya. “Selene.”“Gonna what?” Tanong ko ulit, then I shrugged. “Doesn’t matter.” Itiniaas ko ang papel. “What’s this? No, I mean, why did you write this?” Hindi agad siya sumagot. I caught his adam’s apple moved. “Because you disappeared.”Napanganga ako. “What?”He stopped in front of me, his eyes locked on mine.“You disappeared,” he repeated, quieter now. “You left before I woke up. No name. No number. Nothing. And then years later you walked into that conference room like that night meant nothing.”Napahinto ang paghinga ko.Dahan-dahan at matalas ang realization na ’to sa akin. I had ghosted him. And he remembered enough to be angry about it.My voice came out lower than before. “I didn’t even know who you were.”His mouth tilted once, pero walang bahid ng saya. “Exactly.”Natahimik ang kwarto pagkatapos n’on. The kind that felt too full. Too tight. Na parang isang maling hinga lang

Lumingon siya sa mismong sandaling marinig niya ako.“Selene.”I stayed near the doorway. “What are you doing here?”He let out a breath. “I’ve been trying to see you.”“That should’ve been your sign not to come.”His face
