Dark fell silent, staring intently at Roxane as if searching for something in her eyes—confirmation, admission, or even just a hint of the feelings they both kept trying to hide. With each second of silence, it felt as though the world slowed down between them.

After a moment, Dark took a deep breath and spoke again, his voice carrying a softness and concern he could no longer conceal.

“Can I excuse myself for a moment?” he asked gently. “I won’t be long… I just need to take care of something

    “Who could that woman be?” Roxiel whispered to himself, gripping the strap of his bag tightly. He could not get Steffie’s gaze and the words she had spoken out of his mind. “How did she know our surname? Could it be that Clairox is the one she’s really looking for—my twin?” He let out a quiet sigh before slowly nodding, as if regretting something. “Shit… I only remembered now.” His heart felt heavy as he walked toward his motorcycle, ready to leave the school and escape the questions clouding his mind. The cold breeze in the parking area seemed to share his uneasiness, whistling between the parked vehicles as the afternoon sky gradually darkened. But before he could even start the engine, an unexpected scene caught him off guard. Four women arrived at the parking area together. Their presence immediately drew attention. They were elegantly dressed, carried themselves with confidence, and every step they took exuded beauty and authority. The voices of several students nearby fell si

    After the final ring of the bell signaling the end of the exam, Roxiel quickly gathered his things. He wasted no time—stuffing his pen and papers into his bag, slinging it over his shoulder, and almost rushing out of the classroom. He could still feel the pressure from the difficult test weighing on him, so the only thing on his mind was getting away and finally breathing freely. “Hey, wait for me!” his twin brother, Clairox, called out while running after him, clutching his own bag whose zipper was nearly coming undone. But before they could completely leave the corridor, a voice suddenly called out, cutting through the quiet atmosphere. “Mr. Villar? The Auction Boy bodyguard?” The twins instantly turned around. From the side of the hallway, a beautiful young woman approached them—fair-skinned, graceful, and clearly from a wealthy background. Her long hair perfectly matched her expensive and elegant outfit, immediately drawing the attention of the remaining students nearby. Roxi

    I need to finish this exam. I can’t answer my phone even if I know Mr. Clifford is calling, Roxiel whispered to himself as he forced his attention back to the test paper. He could feel the weight of every passing second, especially knowing how important that call was—but passing this final examination mattered even more to him right now. For a brief moment, he glanced at his twin brother, Clairox, who was seated several rows away. Their desks were separated, and each of their name tags was clearly displayed so their classmates and professors would not confuse them. Roxiel noticed the slight furrow in Clairox’s brows, as if he were carefully observing his every move. Suddenly— Vrrrrttt… vrrrrttt… The faint vibration of Roxiel’s cellphone echoed from beneath his desk. In the silence of the classroom, the sound felt as loud as thunder. Roxiel flinched, and several classmates nearly jumped in surprise as they lifted their eyes from their exam papers. “Roxiel!” their supervisor shoute

    Days, weeks, months, and years passed—time seemed to move so quickly for Clairox and Roxiel. From mischievous little boys full of childish innocence, they had now grown into young men who had entered college. The once simple and innocent appearance of the twins had been shaped by time and experience; their posture became sharper, their eyes more intense, and their charisma far more powerful—something that hardly matched their young age of fifteen. Despite all the hardships, Clairox continued living as a working student. He never gave up on his dream of escaping poverty and finishing his studies, no matter how difficult life became. Their parents knew this, and although they understood how heavy their son’s burdens were, they could also feel his determination in every single day he spent balancing work and school. There were even nights when he would come home completely exhausted, barely able to eat, yet he still forced himself to smile just so his family would not worry. Meanwhile,

    Roxiel Villar : POV I need to bring this money to the orphanage. So I can help the children who have no parents… the children with no home, no blankets, and not even a single grain of rice to fill their stomachs. As I rode my motorcycle—the brand-new one I bought using the full payment from Mr. Clifford—I couldn’t stop myself from letting out a deep sigh. “You people keep raising your bids at auctions… but not once have you ever thought of sharing even a tiny portion with those in need,” I muttered while twisting the throttle, the engine roaring beneath me. “Especially the Clinthon Crown—they’re richer than the government itself! Yet they still have no compassion…” As the wheels rolled along the concrete road, memories of how I first met Mr. Clifford slowly came flooding back. I was only ten years old back then. It was during the height of a storm. Floodwaters filled the streets, trees swayed violently as if they were about to collapse, and the sky raged with thunder and light

    “What’s going on here? And what’s that you’re holding, Clairox? And what’s on the table?” Drick, their father, asked with wide eyes as he stared at the glistening roasted pig sitting in the center of the table. “Is that really roasted pig, or am I just imagining things?” he added, his voice growing sharper. The mixture of confusion and concern was clearly visible on his face. “And what about that, Clairox? Is that roasted chicken too?” he asked firmly while pointing at the whole roasted chicken his son was carrying. “Where did you get the money to buy all that—especially the roasted pig?” His tone tightened, no longer simply curious but now demanding answers. Meanwhile, Mama Lyka remained silent. She only glanced briefly at her children before slowly turning away and heading toward the kitchen. Their dinner for tonight was originally supposed to be three medium-sized milkfish—cheap fish she had carefully squeezed into their limited budget just to make ends meet. But what she saw o

    “Listen to me, Miss Hermenez!” Mr. Villamonte shouted, trembling with anger. “Listen carefully! How could you say you’re pregnant, huh?! My son has only been here in the Philippines for four days! That’s suspicious! You barely met each other yesterday, and now you’re telling me you’re pregnant?! Wh

    Roxane froze in shock. “Oh my gosh! Sir is dreaming again!” she whispered as she peeked from the side of the bed. “Wow, that’s intense… like a teleserye with an Aegis theme song.” Her eyes widened. “The woman in his dream is hot though. Oof! Probably has abs too—like me, but reversed. And the wa

    The meeting at Vellamonte Corporation ended without even the slightest hint of a smile on Dark’s face. His jaw was tight, his brows drawn in deep frustration, and tension clung to his entire body. One by one, the board members left—people who both feared and respected the Vellamonte name—yet now,

    Dark smiled at Roxane’s movements. There was a strange amusement blossoming in his chest as he watched her—clearly uneasy, yet trying so hard to keep her posture, even though her every gesture screamed how new she was to that kind of environment. He also noticed how all attention was drawn to his
