Mysterious 41: Brightest Star
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

Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 42: Missing Puzzle Piece
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
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 43: Looking Back
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
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 44: Fantasy Into Reality
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
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 45: Casanova No More
Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.She was still not giving her ‘yes’ to me and that drove me in the process of waiting. Well, I wasn’t really the type of guy who would like to wait. I didn’t court. It was only now or never or take it or leave it. Your choice.But for Drey, I would be willing to wait because I was really determined to woo her. And of course, to win her heart. It was just five days compared to what I did to her and I would patiently wait even if it would take forever.I wasn’t pursuing her because of her body. Although, what she promised to me yesterday about giving me all the authority to do anything with her sexy figure somewhat excited me, I didn’t even sure if I would make love to her after giving her ‘yes’ to me. She was so beautiful yesterday that I couldn’t suppress myself from asking her to turn my fantasy into reality. I guessed it
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 46: Odd Resemblance
Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.“Duh! I never knew you would be this kind of corny, Aris!” she beamed as she slightly slapped my right cheek.She was undoubtedly different. I kissed her hand and this was what she was going to repay me—by slapping me. How about a splendid kiss on my lips instead?Other women would already scream on top of their lungs because of butterflies tingling inside their stomachs after I kissed their hands. But still, I didn’t want to make a fuss. She was indeed my Drey Laxamana and no one could ever change that.“But really, you’re a CPA? Looks can be totally deceiving, huh? I didn’t expect it, Aris! I thought, your only subject in college was womanizing! If that’s the case, you’ll always get a flat-one grade and you will even graduate a Summa Cum Laude!” She mocked me.“Yeah,
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 47: Reminiscing The Past
Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.I was playing at the stern of the ship that we were cruising on for our short trip to El Nido, Palawan when all of a sudden, I fell from where I was after doing all my might to reach for my stuck PSP.“Mom, Dad… help!”I called for my parents, but I knew that they wouldn’t be able to hear me. They were currently busy with their comrades discussing new mergers and closing important business deals. Anxiety throbbed inside me which caused my legs to become wobbly with fear.I didn’t know how to swim and I already drank too much salt water, but I was still trying my best to pull myself up while raising my hands. As the waves continued to lure me, I started to lose my breath and had given up my chances of survival.I slowly shut my eyes as I already accepted my fate. I
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 48: Mother Knows Best
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.“Thanks for not telling her the truth. Expect the reward first thing in the morning tomorrow!”I overheard the voice of my mom when I reached the living room of our mansion here at Aeia Alabang Village. I went straight here since my own house, purchased with my own savings, was at Crestwood Homes, Cavite and that would cause me additional time to travel.I was too tired, I just wanted to rest as soon as possible. And of course, I had to give them the souvenir items that I bought from Puerto Princesa and El Nido.“Mom? Who are you talking to?” My mom cringed when I asked her, almost dropping her cellular phone. After that, I saw how she immediately ended the call—quite avoiding my stares at first.“Oh my God, Ondrea, you’re here!” Mom happily squealed after seeing me. “Oh, that? Not
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 49: So-Called Friend
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.“Hi, Drey! Missed me already?” Aris mockingly asked me as his smile reached his ears, showing both of his eye-catching dimples in the process.He was holding what I assumed to be my dad’s cellular phone. His confident composure and somewhat conceited aura were still with him even though he was already in front of my father.What the hell! What is he doing there? Didn’t he go home yet? And how did he know where to meet my dad and brother—and why would he even meet them in the first place? My goodness!I even asked Mom where they were, and now, I would soon find out that Aris was also there… joining them as if he was a close family member? Oh my God, I knew my dad so well!Aris, what are you thinking? You have to go back to where you came from, now! I wanted to shout, but I
