INICIAR SESIÓNALLY’S POV The two nurses in front of me couldn’t speak immediately, which only made me even more annoyed with them. I could tell they were still quite new — they were young, and obviously not yet used to what they were supposed to do. What is this? Are they still just on-the-job trainees? Why did the hospital assign these people to take care of my son?! “I’m going to report you both to your head nurse!” I said angrily to them. I saw one of them turn pale after I said that. The door opened, and Joy came in crying, followed by a doctor. “Ma’am Alice,” she sobbed when she saw me. “Why did you leave, Joy? Why did you leave my child here all alone with those clueless nurses?!” I snapped at her. “I’m so sorry, Ma’am Alice… My Mama called and said something happened to Papa. Leo was crying so loud and hard… so I stepped out for just a moment. I’m really sorry, Ma’am,” she cried. Joy is still young. She stopped school early because of her family’s poverty. And since their house is qu
ALLY’S POV “W-what?” I asked him, confused, and glanced down at my bandaged hand. “Ahh… my wound is healing well now. Thank you again for helping me,” I replied. Why is he here again? When is he going back to Manila? “Anyway, I want a cup of Americano coffee. It’s my favorite drink every morning. I’m telling you this so you know what to prepare when I come back here again tomorrow,” he said straightforwardly, staring straight into my eyes. “You’re coming back here again… tomorrow?” I asked, a little startled. I saw the corner of his lips rise, as if he were actually amused by my reaction. He leaned slowly across the table to bring his face even closer to mine. My gaze kept shifting back and forth between his beautiful eyes. It felt like they were drowning me, pulling me deep into their depths. “Uhuh… and I’m going to be your regular customer from now on,” he said, almost whispering the words to me. I gasped at what he said, and every hair on my body stood on end because of the
ALLY’S POV “Hey… what was with that scene earlier?” Mika asked me in a whisper. I frowned at her, confused. “What scene earlier?” I asked back, while helping her lock up and close the coffee shop. After what happened earlier, Daniel barely let me do any work. One of my hands was bandaged, and I couldn’t move it properly yet — it still throbbed with pain whenever I tried to use it too much. Leon left suddenly earlier, but returned again after a few hours. “I don’t want to think too much or assume things, Alice. But I’ve been noticing this since last night.” I glanced at her, then quickly looked away. “It seems like Engineer Mondragon is very interested in you, Alice. And I can’t even blame him — you really are incredibly beautiful, after all.” “What on earth are you talking about, Mika? Where did you even get that idea? You’ve probably just been watching too many K-dramas again,” I replied, acting as if it were nothing. I saw her expression turn serious as she looked at me.
LEON’S POV “Uhm… excuse me please. I just need to go somewhere for a moment!” she excused herself, and without hesitation, she turned her back and walked away from us. Alarm instantly surged through me as I watched her quickly blend and disappear into the huge crowd of people. “Engineer—” “Excuse me,” I replied sharply, and immediately started following her. I ignored the Mayor and everyone else calling out to me. I walked with long, fast strides, weaving my way through the thick crowd. I chased her down in that crowded place. I wasn’t even fully aware of what I was doing anymore; the only thing in my mind was to catch up to her. I had imagined this moment so many times in my head. I told myself that if we ever met again and she acted as if we didn’t know each other, I would stay calm and composed. But I couldn’t do it anymore. I was running after her, and I desperately wanted to confront her right here and now. “Driver!” I heard her shout at a tricycle driver who was about to
LEON’S POV When we arrived at their plaza, a huge crowd welcomed us. There was plenty of food prepared on every side, while the center area was set up for their traditional dance. It felt exactly like being at one of the grand fiestas back in El Fuego. “Hello, Engineer Mondragon. Welcome to our small town,” an older man greeted me. He extended his thin hand toward me, which I accepted immediately. I noticed he looked quite impressed seeing my large, rough, and veiny hands. “I am the Captain here in our town. Come along, please, so you can sit and eat,” he invited us warmly. I remained expressionless and just followed him. My companions did the same. They led us to a more elegant table laden with all kinds of food. “He’s so handsome and tall.” “Is he the one who bought the Mendez family’s land?” “I heard he’s an engineer.” “His serious face makes him even more handsome.” I ignored the whispers from the women nearby. Instead, I just served myself a small portion of food and st
LEON’S POV “How are things going? Rumor has it you’re getting married to the heiress of Guillermo Real Estates Company? Good for you, man. You finally got your woman, huh?” Brandon said, grinning mischievously at Zackeriel. Zack just raised his glass in a toast, then both of them turned their gaze toward me. “This one here is the one with problems,” Zackeriel replied, pointing a finger at me. “Hi,” several women greeted us as they passed by. Zack’s eyes remained fixed on me, completely ignoring the women trying to catch our attention. I looked at Brandon; his eyes were glued to the dance floor, as if he were keeping watch over someone there. Both Zackeriel and I followed his gaze toward the stage area packed with people dancing. Looks like the ultimate playboy in our circle has finally taken an interest in someone special. “Leon.” I looked back at Brandon when he called my name. “I’m offering you a deal.” I frowned at him. “There’s a piece of land I want you to buy,” he sai
ALLY'S POV I can't help but feel angry with Meldrid. She always calls me a bitch and a slut, but I think those words suit her more. Because she's chasing after my boyfriend! Her calls stopped, and after a moment, she called again. I held onto Leon's cellphone tightly as I stared at Meldrid's name

LEON POV I gave Brandon a sharp look as he roared with laughter. I couldn't believe she'd pushed me so hard that I'd crashed to the floor – just because she didn't want Brandon to see us in that position. "Didn't you know how to knock, Ferdejas?" He held up both hands like he was surrendering.
