Mrs. Briochi stopped in front of their house, her hair a complete mess, and glared at Leandro.

They had just arrived from the police station; judging by her appearance, it looked less like she had come from a police station and more like she'd been blasted by thick, black exhaust fumes inside her own car.

Leandra immediately stepped in, blocking Leandro.

"Mom, whatever you're thinking-please, stop. Leandro isn't at fault here. If he hadn't shown up, I would have surely lost my mind from the t

    "Leandra, I'm sorry-I don't know either. You know I've been in Cebu since last week," Sophie replied from the other end of the line. She rubbed her face with her hands and began pacing back and forth outside the company building. She hadn't heard any news about Leandro for a long time, and she never imagined that he would turn out to be the actual owner of a major airline company in the Philippines. She felt happy and proud for him, but she had no idea how to face him after ten years. "Honey, here is the-" She froze when she heard Sam's familiar voice on the other end."Is that Sam?" "H-huh? W-who? N-no. You know I'm in Cebu, right? T-they're still in Italy," Sophie stammered. She rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh. "Sophie. Please, I'm not in the mood for jokes. What is going on?" There was a long pause before Sophie answered; it was clear she was still talking to Sam-who, as far as she knew, was supposed to be in Italy on a business trip with Yuka. "Tell me the truth r

    "Ate Leandra, I'm so sorry, okay? You're really the only one I can count on. Don't worry, I'll have Yuka head over there the moment he gets home." Leandra sighed while speaking to Fiona on the other end of the line. Ever since her friendships with Cely, Gelyn, and Mina fell apart, she had grown close to Fiona and Sophie. She became friends with Leandro's circle, even though she was two years older than them. When she ran away and went far, far away, she experienced what it was like to live entirely on her own. By the grace of God-and with the help of a friend-she managed to pull through, eventually giving birth. Ayvanna was two years old when her mother finally found her. Her mother was furious, but she took her back in nonetheless. Leandra didn't tell her the real reason why she had left; instead, she claimed that her college boyfriend had gotten her pregnant and refused to take responsibility. She added that she had left and gone into hiding out of shame. From then on, her

    Mrs. Briochi let out a deep sigh, which caused Leandra to freeze even more. "Mommy, I'm going to-""How long has this been going on?" Leandro stood up immediately and moved toward Leandra. "For over three months now," Leandra replied, her head bowed. "Mommy..."Leandro began, but before he could say anything more, she let out a cry, rushed down the stairs, and headed straight for her room on the lower floor.Leandro and Leandra exchanged glances. Leandro held her hand and smiled, reassuring her that everything would be alright. "Don't worry," Leandro said calmly, stroking Leandra's hair. Hand in hand, they descended the stairs. Mrs. Briochi emerged from her room carrying a large, square glass display case containing an expensive anime figurine-one that had belonged to their father."Mom... w-what are you..." Leandra stammered, reaching out to stop her, but her mother slammed the case hard onto the floor."Mom..." Leandro exclaimed."That son of a bitch! He's absolutely vile! To

Leandra immediately stepped in, blocking Leandro. "Mom, whatever you're thinking-please, stop. Leandro isn't at fault here. If he hadn't shown up, I would have surely lost my mind from the trauma by now." Her mother didn't answer and tried to move past her, but Leandra blocked her again. Her mother shot her a sharp look, then tried to go around the other way-only for Leandra to block her once more. Her mother let out an angry sigh, then-without a word-tugged at the hem of Leandra's uniform and approached Leandro.Leandro bowed his head as their mother stared at him with a serious expression. "Why didn't you tell me the truth right away, huh? If you had, I would have already yanke

    "Leandro!" their mother screamed at the top of her lungs the moment she arrived home. Leandro immediately went downstairs to meet her. He already knew what had happened; he had just come from school, where his parents had been summoned. He had dropped Leandra off at school earlier, ensuring-with the help of Fin and Julian-that she wouldn't be able to come home just yet. He didn't want her dragged to the police station after Lino's parents filed a complaint. "Mom..." He had barely reached the bottom of the stairs when a sharp, stinging slap landed across his face. "You've never done anything right in your life! And now, you're dragging me into your criminal mess!" Leandro didn't answer. He remained silent, clutching his jaw and keeping his head bowed in front of the police officers who had now entered the house. "Good evening, Leandro Briochi. You just need to come with us to the station," one of the officers said politely, gesturing for him to head outside toward the patrol car.

    "You're hurt," Leandra said, noticing Leandro’s hand after he had caressed her face; they were both lying there, unclothed. "It's nothing. Just a small bruise." "You fool. Small or big—you’re still hurt," Leandra said, annoyed, as she tapped his chest—her eyes welling up with tears. Leandro chuckled softly, caught her hand, and pulled her even closer. He stared at her intently while kissing her hand. "You have no idea how much I’ve dreamed of us lying here, just looking at each other like this." Leandra’s face flushed, and she looked away. "I thought this would never happen, especially since you started keeping your distance from me once I reached high school." "Well, it’s your fault... You just—you suddenly grew up." Leandro laughed softly before continuing. "I’m glad you were the one to make the first move." "Huh? When was that?" Leandra asked, her brow furrowed as she looked down at him. "When you hugged me," Leandro replied, gently smoothing out the lines on her forehea
