Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.
I didn’t want to believe him but the way how he said those words somehow made me feel his sincere emotions. All of the sudden, I felt at ease until I found myself melting like heated butter.
“A-Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?” I asked him like a restrained fierce woman.
DreyLaxamana’sP.O.V.Aris was at my back and he even had the guts to lean his handsome face on my right shoulder just to pry on Kevin’s phone. I glanced at him but he only winked at me with his dimples showing off.I scrolled endlessly and all I could see were different news and posts about the two of us. There was even a sponsored broadcast with a caption: Aris Sandoval was More Than A Winner with Drey Laxamana. I was about to dismiss it but I just didn&rs
DreyLaxamana’sP.O.V.Hi ma’am, no problem. It was a certainIvanovdelaFuente.I narrowed my eyes as I heaved a deep sigh after reading Kevin’s reply. I looked away so Aris wouldn’t be able to know that something had suddenly troubled me.
DreyLaxamana’sP.O.V.“No, it’s okay. So what if he was my opponent, Drey? I don’t care. I might have let him win over me during the race, but I would never let him win you all over again.”I looked at him as he gave me the sweetest smile of assurance I had ever seen in my entire life.
DreyLaxamana’sP.O.V.My heart was hammering out loud as if it wanted to get out of my chest after hearing Aris’ revelation. I could also feel being weighed down by dread. My belly felt cramped like I was suddenly sick of fear.First, it was Ivan… and now, Juno. Can’t we live at peace all along?
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.Aris and I dropped by at the ground-floor souvenir shop of The Queen’s Hotel before taking the elevator to go up to the fourth-floor level. I wanted to buy some treats, food delicacies, as well as ref magnets and key chains to bring with me to Manila.Aside from my family and those who were working for us, I still have two friends to buy gifts with. They were Izabelle Ford and Gertrude Marquez—my co-models in La Hermosa Modelos’ agency. Never mind that one traitor friend who already transferred agency last year after realizing that she wanted to pursue acting.It was a good thing that my wallet and cellular phone were on my blazer the moment Aris took me away from the car racing venue. I was busy looking for different types of souvenirs when he leaned his face on my shoulder from behind. I had no other choice but to look at him and I was quite surprised seei
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.My voice immensely roared inside the bathroom and perhaps in the entire suite that was why I felt how Aris immediately rushed towards the door and grumpily twisted the knob while knocking three times.“Hey, Drey? Are you okay? Did something happen?” He threw me a series of questions as unfathomable concern was evident in his brooding voice.I didn’t answer him. I just drummed my right clammy fingers on my right thigh as I bit my left fingernails.He knocked again, louder than ever before. “Drey? Talk to me! What exactly happened there? Aren’t you going to open the door? I’ll break this if you won’t!” He spoke ardently. With his infuriated temper, it looked like he was ready to break the door anytime soon.“No, p-please… just— just stay where you are, Aris. N-Nothing bad happened to me.” I stuttered.“Then, what exactly happened over there? I’m worried about you.” I could clearly visualize his tensed facial expression.“I—I just need your help, can you—” I wasn’t
Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.“Aris…” I heard Drey called for my name as I didn’t remove my ear on the bathroom door.“What? If you’re still not going to tell me after this, I swear, Drey… I’m going to break this damn fucking door and I don’t care whether you are naked or not!”It wasn’t my intention to growl and scare her, but I didn’t know what exactly happened inside that she made me feel so worried. Terror undoubtedly coursed through my veins when I heard her screamed and that made me almost trip my feet in a hurry.I conditioned myself and was ready to do a flying kick on the door when she spoke, “I-It’s red alert. C-Can you please buy me a—”I sighed out of relief even though she was still hesitating. I painted a smi
Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.It was quite expensive to rent the infinity pool but for Drey, I was more than willing to do anything. I smiled when I suddenly remembered the scene where I was already willing to give her whichever she wanted—a sports car, a luxurious bachelorette’s pad, or a billion-worth yacht in exchange for her painting—on the very first day we’ve met.“Where will you take me, Aris?” Drey modestly asked when I put her on a blindfold. I told her to prepare some swimming attire and other clothes so I was carrying all her stuff on my left shoulder. Her left arm was graspingly clinging into my right as if afraid that she would get lost.“You’ll see when we get there, sweetheart.” I cautiously assisted her on the elevator as I removed her left arm that was attached to my elbow. Instead, I snaked my right arm on her back around her curvaceous waist while my left hand carefully supported her left shoulder.Upon reaching the rooftop, we were now here at the corner of the huge and re
