-=Jayden's Point of View=-I was still in disbelief, and while I was looking at the determination on her face, I didn't expect that she would concede and agree to sleep with me, after what I did to her.I should be happy, right?" But why is it that what I was feeling was so far from being happy? Because the truth is, the guilt was eating me up from the inside.I felt guilty when I saw how terrified she was, and the betrayal that she might have felt when she realized that I had just fooled her.She must be shaking in fear when she thinks that she is in real danger, when all along I planned all of this.This is exactly how I wanted it to be, but it ends up making her finally agree to what I wanted.Is this not what I desired?I wanted to apologize to her and tell her that she doesn't have to do this, but instead, I nodded my head in response.I know what I did to her was wrong, especially because it caused so much fear in Gabby, but I don't know what to think anymore."Allow me a day to
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I didn't know if I should regret telling Jayden, that I was already willing to give myself to him, but I knew it was already too late to take it back.I got to a point, where I just wanted to end this, and the only solution I could think of was to agree to his demand, to have sex with him, but just like they said, it was easier said than done.I'm still a virgin, for crying out loud, and I didn't know how to do it—well, I had an idea, but still, I didn't know if I could do it or not.I am aware that I shocked Jayden, but I am willing to guess that he was already rejoicing in the fact that he was going to get what he wanted and that he would be able to exact his revenge.When I realized that I was going to merely give myself to someone because he wanted to seek retribution for what I did, a bitter smile formed on my lips. I was going to have to let him have his way.One day, that is what I requested from him—just for me to prepare myself, mentally and emotion
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I woke up the following day with a warm and contented feeling inside me, and when I saw the still-sleeping Gabby in my arms, a pure smile of joy appeared on my lips.I remembered what happened last night, and everything was so surreal, I never thought I would feel like that, and it was because of Gabby.I bedded many women before, but none of those experiences made me experience this kind of happiness, it was only with Gabby, I felt this kind of contentment.My gaze was immediately drawn to the red stain on the right side of the bed, it is a sign that I was Gabby's first, and my level of bliss rose.I really thought that after I got what I wanted from Gabby, I would finally let go of whatever hold she had on me, but I was wrong.My cravings for this woman didn't go away at all; in fact, they became stronger. Now that I have a taste of these feelings and satisfaction, I can't tell if I can let her go anymore.I knew I promised that I would let her go, but the
-=Jayden's Point of View=-Who'd have guessed that it's been three weeks since I finally admitted to myself that I have feelings for Gabby, that I love her, but that I haven't been able to tell her how I feel because I've been afraid.It's funny; who would have thought that the wealthy, successful, and confident Jayden Andrada could be this nervous and scared, because of a simple girl, a girl who managed to capture my heart?Who wouldn't fall for a woman like Gabrielle Crisostomo? With that, my eyes were immediately drawn to her."Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked when she noticed me staring at her.She was busy sending a text message to her sister, who was still in Thailand for a fashion show."Have I ever told you, that you're so beautiful?" As soon as she heard my question, her face turned bright red, which makes her more precious.She's so beautiful that she could get any man she wants, but she seems unaware of that fact, which makes her precious and genuine."You'r
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Dude, you're drinking again?" I heard someone speak with an incredulous tone."Would you like to join me?" I asked in a bored voice.I didn't have to turn around to know who it was because I know that voice anywhere.He didn't answer and just took the seat next to me, and without saying anything, he poured his glass with the whiskey I was drinking."What's happening to you, Jayden? Ever since you came back from vacation, you've been drinking all the time," he asked, while shaking his head."You know what? It was all your fault," I could stop myself, but blamed him, and he looked startled by my remark.This particular friend of mine was the one who told me to relax and drink before my flight to Macau, and if I didn't listen to his suggestion, then I wouldn't meet Gabby, and this whole mess would not have happened in the first place."Nah," I suddenly thought, because, truth be told, I don't feel any regret about meeting and knowing Gabby."What did I do?" He
-=Gabby's Point of View=- I tried hard to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes; he shouldn't know that I was hurting. I could tell that I had hurt Jayden because of my decision, but I needed to stay strong, or else I might do what I really wanted to do, which is to tell Jayden how I really feel. When Jayden finally left, I let the tears finally pour from my eyes, and I felt like dying because of the pain I was feeling in my heart. It felt like a million needles were stabbing my heart because of the pain I was feeling. I know I will regret my decision someday, but I have to do it. "I hope you won't regret your decision, Gabby," I heard Mel say, who had been standing there for a while now. "I'm already regretting it, believe me," I answered with a bitter smile. I have never experienced pain like this before, and I have no idea when or how this anguish will go away—or even if it will go away at all. I have no idea. "I just don't get you; I could tell that you
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I took a deep breath while gazing at my sleeping son. Three years have gone by since I let the person I love most, the father of my child, leave, and yet I can still feel the need for him and at the same time the fear once he discovers the truth.After Jayden departed from my life, a lot of things started to happen. I decided to quit my job because it belonged to Jayden, and I was anxious that once my pregnancy became more obvious, Jayden might find out about it.Leaving was difficult for me, especially because my friend Regina was still working there.I am aware that my coworkers there were astonished, but nothing could stop me anymore. I also revealed to Regina the truth, and as expected, she did not criticize me for it.It's just a shame that she ended up moving to Dubai, where she has been living for the past two years.We decided to sell the house left for us out of concern that Jayden may return, and we moved to Davao, where I got employment."Aren't yo
-=Gabby's Point of View=- "Are you okay, Gabby?" I was taken aback when I heard Mel's voice. I was gripping my chest at the moment since my heartbeat was still too rapid. "He's back," I unconsciously muttered. She scowled suddenly at what I said, and when I remained silent, she chose to speak. "Who are you talking about? Who's back?" She asked, still looking confused. "Caleb's dad is back! Jayden's back!" I exclaimed, feeling so frightened. It took a couple of seconds before I noticed the confused expression on his face change to one of fright. "What are you planning to do now? Are you going to introduce Caleb to his father?" She asked. "No! Jayden shouldn't know about our son; do you know what he would do if he discovered that he has a child with me?" I replied, shaking my head. I didn't want to think about what would happen after he learned about Caleb; aside from taking Caleb away from me, all I could envision was his wrath, and the thought of it genuinely terrifies me. "Y
