Ysabelle's POV

Ngayon ang alis namin papunta sa Maynila upang mag-courtesy call as volunteers sa pagtulong ng bigayan ng relief goods para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. As I have heard, super typhoon daw ito.

As much as I want to express my excitement dahil isa sa paborito ko ang pagsakay ng eroplano kahit mafi-feel ko iyong jetlag, I tried to supress it because this is not a vacation— this is a mission.

We're going to ride on a commercial plane dahil kasama rin iyong ibang empleyado na galing sa aking kumpanya at ni Aldrich.

We were already heading to the departure area. Marami kaming bitbit na mga gamit just in case of emergency, lalo na ako na palaging dalawa ang bitbit na luggage ngunit I'm planning to give other things na hindi ginagamit sa victims. I would rather give my things na kailangang-kailangan nila kaysa itago ko lang ito sa aparador kapag hindi ginagamit hanggang sa mamamantsa lang ito.

I can hear the voices of the employees talking, iba-iba lang ang pinaguusapan ngunit

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 73

    Ysabelle's POVThe hallway felt smaller, tighter, parang unti-unti kaming sinisiksik ng kapalaran sa isang sulok na wala nang labasan. Two men stood on opposite ends—parehong nakaitim, parehong malamig ang tingin, parehong alam ang ginagawa nila.My grip on Evan’s hand was painful, but he never let go—kahit nararamdaman kong nanginginig siya, kahit nararamdaman kong bumibilis ang tibok ng puso niya.“Stay behind me,” he murmured.His voice was low, steady—but the tremor… hindi niya kayang itago.Matteo’s man subtly raised his weapon, nakatingin sa dalawang uma-abang sa amin.“Back away,” he warned. “This doesn’t have to turn—”“Into what?” the man in front interrupted, stepping forward. “A problem?”His tone was casual, like he wasn’t cornering us. His eyes, however, told a different story—calculated, wicked, unbothered by the threat of a gun.Evan placed his arm across my waist, his body shielding mine completely.The second man behind us spoke. “Mr. Cortez, sumama na lang kayo nang

    Ysabelle's POV“Ysa… someone is after us.”Parang biglang umikot ang mundo ko. His words echoed inside my head, mabagal pero masakit, as if each syllable carried a weight I wasn’t prepared to carry.“S-someone? As in… tao? Galing saan? Bakit tayo?” My voice cracked, halatang nanginginig kahit pilit kong pinapakalma ang sarili ko.Evan held my elbows, grounding me, steadying me. His fingers were cold, but his gaze was burning with something deeper—fear… and guilt.“I’ve been trying to keep you safe,” he whispered. “Pero hindi ko na pwedeng patagalin pa. You deserve to know.”I swallowed hard. “Tell me, Evan. Please… tell me everything.”He looked at the man standing guard near the door—a tall built guy, wearing an earpiece, alert, nakikinig sa kalsada ng bawat ingay sa hallway. Mukhang trained, parang bodyguard or security. Matteo must have sent him.Evan exhaled shakily. “We only have a few minutes before we need to move again.”He guided me to sit on the small couch inside the staff

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 71

    Ysabelle's POVThe darkness swallowed the lobby whole. Wala kang makikita kundi mga aninong nag-aagawan sa pagitan ng mahihinang ilaw mula sa mga emergency signs. Tumataas ang kaba ko habang humihigpit ang kapit ni Evan sa pulso ko.“Stay close,” bulong niya, mababa at may diin. His voice cracked slightly—halatang pinipigilang mag-panic.Napalunok ako, trying to adjust my sight through the thick shadows. The murmurs grew louder. May nagtatakbuhan. May nagkukumpulan. At may ilang staff na nagmamadaling humanap ng flashlight.Napalingon ako kay Evan. “Love… ano ba talaga ‘to?”Hindi siya sumagot agad. Instead, he scanned the area—shoulders tense, jaw tight, eyes sharp kahit madilim. May hinahanap siya. O may iniiwasan?Bago pa ako muling magsalita, biglang umilaw ang isang maliit na flashlight mula sa gilid. A hotel staff approached us quickly.“Sir, ma’am, please stay calm. Our generators will activate soon—”Pero hindi pa siya natatapos magsalita, biglang nag-ring ang phone ni Evan. M

    Ysabelle’s POVEvan sighed. He is currently talking to Matteo on the phone, asking for help to check for the security upang walang makakaalam sa whereabouts namin. For now, we were advised to extend our stay here in Dubai upang maging ligtas. This should be a good news for us to have an extension but it has a different reason behind it na hindi naman dapat ikatuwa iyon. It was quite intense. “Okay… yes, please. Thanks, Matteo.” He turned off the call frustratingly at lumapit sa bintana while breathing some air. I walked towards him to help him calm down kahit maraming tanong ang bumabagabag sa aking isipan ngunit I refrain to ask those. Wala sa isipan kong magdagdag ng kahit anumang kasamaang posibleng mangyari sa amin, I just want to make him feel that I will be always standing with him kahit delikado buhay ko rito pag kasama ko siya. “Ysa…” I hummed to respond at him, nakadungaw pa rin ito sa bintana. His hazelnut brown eyes go visible as the reflection of the sunlight meets him.

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 69

    Ysabelle’s POVI thought our honeymoon would be that golden, ngunit ngayong hapon, kanina pa kaming nakahiga sa kama, nakayakap lang ako sa kanya, Nakahawak din siya sa akin ngunit ang atensyon nito ay nasa kanyang phone, may kinakalikot. Ramdam ko ang lamat sa pagitan naming dalawa na nakabakod ito ng tension na dapat ay puro kasiyahan lang sana ang atupagin namin. “I will go to the washroom first,” I whispered to him. Naramdaman kong agad niya akong binitawan nang dahan-dahan habang ang atensyon pa rin nito ay nasa phone pa rin, umiigting ang panga and he was clenching his fist on his pants. Here comes the tension, the shift, the worry. Para bang may tinatago siya na ayaw niyang malaman ko. Pagkalabas ko ng washroom, nadatnan ko siyang nakatayo at nakatingin lamang sa bintana with a blank face. The Brunei sun cast a glow on his face — beautiful on the outside but on the inside, there is a hidden darkness. “Lunch na tayo?” I asked softly. “Uhh, y-yeah, yeah sure… Sorry, may ini

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 68

    Ysabelle’s POV The morning starts just perfectly. Gumising ako nang walang iniisip, walang problema at walang nakakabagabag sa aking damdamin. It is just waking up with another life. I felt his arms loosely wrapping on my waist as he was sleeping peacefully, his hot breath crossing on the crook of my neck which made me feel relaxed and comfortable that finally, I’m home — he is my home. Ngunit nais kong salubungin ang napakagandang bungad ng sikat ng araw kaya nagsimula na akong bumangon. Dahan-dahan kong iniangat ang kanyang braso upang makabangon ako nang maayos dahil tila bang nasa mundo ng pantasya pa siya. I called the information desk through the telephone to request some coffee and breakfast for the two of us. Habang hinihintay ko iyon, tumungo muna ako sa washroom to pamper myself. When the breakfast finally arrived, nagtimpla muna ako ng kape habang nararamdaman ko ang mapreskong simoy ng hangin. The scenery of Brunei is something that I want to cover. Maliban lang sa m
