They met at Spencer’s, and she arrived just a few minutes before Marge. Ainara was sipping iced tea while waiting. When Marge arrived, she immediately kissed her on the cheek and gave her a hug.

“Sorry, traffic was terrible. I tried to get here as fast as I could.” Marge sat down and ordered iced tea as well.

Ainara didn’t feel like eating anything yet, but she planned to order a salad later. She was more interested in catching up with her friend whom she hadn’t seen in a long time. They did call each other at least once a month, but it was different when they were together in person.

“It’s okay. I didn’t wait long.”

Marge took a sip of her drink. “So, how was last night?”

“Did you know they were dating?” Instead of answering her friend’s question, she responded with one of her own.

Marge looked like she was in pain. “To be honest, I saw them together once, but I didn’t think anything of it. I mean, your families have known each other forever.”

“And you didn’t tell me?”

  • Twisted Ties   Chapter 7

    "You have got to be kidding me."Those were the first words that came to Ainara's mind when she received a call three days later. She was flying back to New York the day after tomorrow for work, but when she got a call from the secretary of Agustin-Bernardino & Co. Manila Branch, she wanted to disappear.One of the architects, who also happened to be a Project Coordinator, resigned without proper notice, and now she was being asked to stay until the project was completed. If it were just about the project, she wouldn’t have minded. But staying here for work meant Andres would be staying too. After all, he was training her to be the best, and she was close to completing her required training with the company. After this, she would be leading their own firm.Things would get complicated because people in the Philippines were quick to put malice into everything. Everything becomes an issue! And with the way Andres thinks and acts—gossip was bound to start!It would’ve been better if they

    “What were you doing in the garden with your boss?” Santino asked his sister.Ainara left Andres and went with her brother. She couldn’t escape his probing eyes and questions. Maybe it was guilt clawing at the surface that made her look down and keep walking.“There were too many people, and the noise was giving me a headache, so I went for a walk. The flight was long and I’m tired. I haven’t adjusted to the time here yet. Why is Mama rushing this engagement party?” She looked at Santino.“You could’ve gone home early. Why are you questioning the date of the party?” he shot back.He had a point. But didn’t Santino remember the promise their mother once made?“Why are you okay with Mama remarrying?” Ainara stopped walking.Santino stopped too, and they faced each other.“I want Mama to be happy. Papa’s been gone a long time, and she deserves someone to take care of her. Don’t you like Tito Jaime? He’s really nice.”Ainara rolled her eyes. “Mama promised not to get married again. I shou

    The sun was just about to set, its soft glow highlighting the whitewashed walls with terracotta roofs. Ainara loved their home—it was one of the reasons she chose Architecture instead of a business degree. From her private balcony, she could see everything.The lush gardens and centuries‑old acacia trees were still there, and she remembered her old tire swing. The bougainvillea still bloomed endlessly, and because of it, her favorite color had become fuchsia.She noticed the cobblestone path that led guests through a candlelit courtyard. String lights crisscrossed above like fireflies. Romance was in the air, but knowing her mother was remarrying did not make her happy. She wanted her mother to be happy, of course. It was just that Jaime—she had no words. He had always been kind to her, even before, so she couldn’t understand why she resisted him for her mother.A soft love song floated through the air. The quartet her mother had chosen was rehearsing for tonight’s entertainment.It l

    When the pilot announced that they were about to descend, Ainara felt a sudden ache. She was enjoying his company so much that she didn’t want it to end. Why hadn’t they ever had the chance to truly know each other? There was a time when neither of them was in a relationship.Maybe it was never meant to be. Just like now—fate had decided to make them step‑siblings.“I didn’t even get to kiss my date.”She heard Andres say this while they waited for their checked baggage at the carousel. The plane had landed and they had already disembarked.“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”He muttered something about how a date should end with a goodbye kiss.“You’re the one who said whatever happened on the flight stays there. We’re in the Philippines now—you have to stop talking about it.”“And if I don’t want to?” he challenged.She rolled her eyes and stepped away, putting real distance between them—an arm’s length. Andres just chuckled. His luggage arrived first, and he left without a word.She

  • Twisted Ties   Chapter 2

    She couldn’t understand what kind of curse she was under, with misfortune piling up one after another. It wasn’t enough that she had a terrible boss, and that he was attending the same engagement party which would later make him her stepbrother—now she was stuck sitting beside him on a long flight back to Manila.As they settled into their seats, Ainara tried to ignore the way his cologne smelled like cedar and regret. He pulled out a tablet. She pulled out a book. Their elbows touched. Neither moved.Thirty minutes into the flight, he glanced at her page.“You’re still reading that?” he asked, pointing at the romance novel in her hands.“It’s called savoring.” “It’s called procrastinating.”She turned to him. “Why are you like this?”Andres only laughed. She closed the book, suddenly losing the mood to read.“What would you like me to do?”Andres shut off his tablet and faced her. “Talk to me.”Ainara frowned. “And what exactly are we supposed to talk about?”“Anything. Except work.
