"Is that why you left the bar yesterday? For that lady?" Jana teased, her voice a playful lilt, brows dancing like mischief in disguise.
"Oh my gosh. I need to send this to mom. You're seeing a woman and—"
"Don't you dare, Raña," Rome said, his voice edged with command. Jeez. Chills tickled down my spine.
"Who is she, Archi? It will stay between us. Promise!” Jana coaxed with a grin. “Alora won’t tell a soul—right, Alora?” she said, her eyes turning to me, like a secret passed on a breeze, waiting to be kept hidden.
To tell the truth, I couldn’t answer as if I was choked by the words stuck inside my throat—too man

–ALORA EUNICE’S POV–I still have seven months left before I finish this program. Actually, I'm working on my design portfolio that I will submit for the finals. It’s hard to juggle all the school requirements—but this is what I chose. Maybe it’s not the path everyone expects of me, but fashion designing is something I truly, deeply want.I drifted off to sleep after sketching a few more designs. I tucked the sketchbook away, hiding that small piece of myself once again, then lay down on my soft bed.I needed rest. Tomorrow will be another battle—more studying, more pressure. But for now, sleep was the only thing I needed and badly wanted."Sit," I tapped the sand beside me, offering a seat to the

The Knot of Marriage CHAPTER 3
–ALORA EUNICE’S POV–As I woke up from a very long and deep sleep, I recognized the surroundings. It's my hotel room. I felt like I wanted to vomit, and I rushed to the bathroom. I almost hugged the toilet bowl. It’s as if my stomach is being turned inside out. As if every ounce I took last night was pulled and emptied, like a soul wrung dry.Gosh... I feel so gross. I wiped something on my lips using the tissue I pulled from the rack. I need a shower after this horrible moment. And as if it weren’t enough, my head throbs terribly. It feels like it’s splitting open, each pulse like a hammer blow.It's not my first time experiencing a hangover, but this is the worst of all. Thank goodness, after I gurgled, I found a hangover drink on the bedside table. I immediately opened the bottle and bottomed up the drink. Damn... that helps a little. I longed to lie down and rest again, but instead, I reached for my phone and started reading messages.I immediately opened it when I saw the recipie
The Knot of Marriage CHAPTER 2
–ALORA EUNICE’S POV–I don't know how much time I spent in the shower, but after I made up my mind and had the courage to face him again, I went outside, just wearing a bathrobe without anything underneath. I forgot to get new clothes because I panicked earlier. Gosh… I shouldn’t, right? It’s Oliver and I know he’ll not force me to do what I don’t want to."Oliver?" I looked around but…He wasn't in the room. Is he upset? My heart throbbed at the thought. Maybe…I messaged him but minutes later, no reply. I yawned as I waited for his message. This day is kind of tiring, but I don’t want us to sleep without talking over this, a bit of a misunderstanding. I visited my socials while waiting for him, but hours passed, he hadn't come back yet. I decided to turn off the lights and let the side lamps on. I felt the heaviness of my eyelids."Where are you, Oliver?" I felt heaviness in my chest while looking at my ring finger where the diamond ring is placed.I slept but woke up around eleven
The Knot of Marriage CHAPTER 1
–ALORA EUNICE’S POV–Seven years ago…"Alora Eunice Escarra, my future wife... will you marry me?"Oh my God! This is too unexpected, and I don't know how to react. We've been in a romantic relationship for three years, and I'm very surprised that this day will eventually come.He's waiting... What should I say? Should I say yes? Am I ready?"Oliver, I..." I looked around and saw Raña watching us from afar. She scoffed and rolled her eyes. I know she’s too bitter to be happy about this special moment of my life.I noticed Rome De Herrera, who had just shown up and called Raña to get her attention. I was unable to hear what he was saying, but I knew that he was talking with his younger sister.Before they left, I felt like my gaze aligned with Rome’s and my heart skipped a beat. No… I shouldn’t feel this way."Alora?" I went back to reality when I heard Oliver’s voice. He’s waiting."Say yes, Alora!" Someone teasingly shouted."Looks like our Oliver boy is so nervous!""Relax, man!""A
The Knot of Marriage PROLOGUE
—ROME ARCHILLUS’ POV—“Is that all?” I asked with a hint of disappointment, looking around, but no one in this room ever met my gaze. I threw the folder on the long table and made a loud thud.I rose from my seat, fastening the button of my suit. Nothing irked me more than wasting my time.“Mr. Reyes,” I said, noticing his trembling hands. I cannot believe someone like that was hired by my company. I should check on the HR team.“Y-Yes, sir?”“You and your team are all fired.”I already gave them chances and enough time to prove themselves. Yet, no improvement. Without another word, I turned and walked away from the presentation room. My secretary, Gaille, followed me behind in silence.“What’s my next schedule?” I asked her while checking the time on my wristwatch.“You have a meeting with Mr. Ocampo in two hours, and a proposal review with the finance team at four.”“How about the contract papers?”“On your desk, sir.”Just then, my phone rang. One glance at the caller, I immediatel
