Nestor's POV.The smile on my face was unstoppable. After that steamy night with her, I can't wait to hold her again, kiss her delectable moist lips, touch every curve of her body and smell her addicting scent. I love being inside her, and everything about her turns me on. And by just thinking of her now, I could no longer stop my smile. I'm fucking insane. When I first laid my eyes on her at the bar, I couldn't take away my desire. Malakas ang dating niya sa akin at lahat ng lalaki sa gabing iyon ay sa kanya nakatitig. Binilang ko pa ang mga lalaking gusto siyang maisayaw, pero lahat sila inayawan niya. I know that one day I will be marrying Glorisha Dela Merced. I haven't seen her and wasn't interested. Ilang beses ko na rin na inayawan ito mula sa mga magulang ko, pero nagbago ang lahat dahil sa malaking problemang hinaharap ng kompanya ni Papa sa Europa. There's nothing to lose, and I must go with the flow. I should act like a businessman, like how my father taught me. When I
Nestor's POV. "Before we start. Should anyone present know of any reason this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony? Speak now or forever hold your peace." The wedding celebrant speaks. I plastered my best smile while looking at Mayor Sanchez. He looked at me seriously, and my jaw clenched. Dammit. I do hope Nathaniel got my message a minute ago. I need him. I wanted him to stop this wedding as I could no longer do it. I hope the bloody idiot will take over any minute. Mayor Sanchez then smiled, and my shoulder dropped six feet underground. I shut my eyes and face down. Nathaniel didn't probably get my message. The hell, this is the end of me. What else could I do? I walked into this mess anyway, and now that's given, I could no longer walk away. Tumikhim na si Mayor Sanchez at magsisimula na siya. He smile looking ahead to all our guests. "Okay, then. " "Stop the wedding! I-I'm against it! Itigil ang kasal!" boses ng babae mula sa likod. My brows crossed, and I loo
Rizalyn's POV . 'The only reason you won't let go of what is making you sad is that it was the only thing that made you happy.' "OMG! Ang gulo-gulo 'te!" Ang maingay na boses ni Vaninay ang nagpataas sa tainga ko at naging kampana ito. We had just landed in Manila, and I got annoyed because Mr Ravens was not yet here. I messaged him last night while I was still in Mexico, and he did make sure to be here before seven. Pero hello!? Alas nuebe na at wala pa siya. Huwag na huwag niyang masabi na traffic 'te, dahil hindi ah! "Rizalyn, OMG! Listen to this, gurl!" Namilog ang mga mata ni Vanny habang nakatitig sa akin. Ang alam ko nagpaalam lang siyang mag-toilet. Pero ngayon, dinaig pa niya ang sangkatutak na marites. "Why? What's up? It's no mainit." Hawi sa mahabang buhok ko. Naiinitan na talaga ako dahil kanina pa ako rito nakatayo. Impaktong Mr. Ravens na ito. Wala pa talaga siya rito! "The wedding!" Hawak niya sa kamay ko at nagsimula ang kakaibang kalabog sa puso ko. The w
Nestor's POV .It's crazy how much one person can affect you. It's enough to stop your world from revolving. "Ba't nga ba kayo nandito?" I sat down and drank my beer. They all look at me like I'm a criminal in hiding. "Oo nga ba? Ba't ba tayo nandito?" si Nathaniel. Umupo na siya sa tabi ko sabay inom sa beer. I chuckled and laughed a little bit. As expected, I can't trust Nathaniel. He's the only person here because of his little business. But I expected the rest of them to be elsewhere in the city. "Why the hell are we even here?" Elizalde snorted and laughed. I did the same and shake my head. I never expect them to be here, to travel this far for me. Malayo ako sa Pilipinas at hindi ako maniniwala na ako lang din ang sadya nila rito sa Texas. Yes, I was probably right about what I thought before that I was in hiding like a criminal. I'm hiding from Papa, and Mama knows that. The Dela Merced seems okay with what's happening, but the deal was still going. Hindi ko lang alam k
Rizalyn's POV."H-Hi, Miss? May I help you?"Tumaas ang isang kilay ko at napangiwi ako sa sarili nang matitigan ko ang mukha ni Raquel.Heck, hindi niya ako kilala? Isip ko.She looked at me suspiciously and then cleared her throat. The smile on her face indicates that she doesn't know me."What can I do for you, Miss? Is there anything you would like to eat?" Ngiti niya na parang sira.Napaawang na ang labi ko.Tsk, wala na talagang pag-asa ito."Ate Raquel. . ." mahinang saad ko at napakurap ako sa sarili. Tinangal ko na ang suot na sunshades at ginulo ko lang din ang blonde na buhok ko. Ngumiti ako. At least man lang makilala niya ang ngipin ko."Rizalyn!?" Namilog ang mga mata niya at napatakip-bibig ito.See? That works, baby! My mind speaks. Kilala niya ang ngipin ko!"Oh my goodness me! Ano ba'ng ginawa mo sa sarili mo bata ka!?" Pamaywang niya.Akala ko pa naman ay super hug ang ibibigay niya dahil tatlong taon kaming hindi nagkita. Pero ang talak niya agad ang welcome greet
Rizalyn's POV.The beauty of nature reminds me of how wonderful my life is here in Panglao. I looked at the mini resort that Papa bought me two years ago. I couldn't be more thankful I've made this choice as I happily live here with all the nicest people. Pasimpli ang ginawa kong pagbanlaw sa damit na nilabhan ko. Puro panty ko ito, dahil wala akong tiwala sa washing machine. I hummed to the loud music from the wireless, and Madonna's song played as the material girl. My lips twisted when I remembered what I had to do today. Ang dami ko pang gagawin at nag day off sina Santa at Esteban, nag-date siguro ang dalawa. Nang matapos ay mabilis akong naligo at nag-ayos sa sarili. Kailangan ko pang pumunta at tumawid sa islang ito para makarating sa sentro ng syudad. Kung bakit naman kasi ito ang pinili ko? Ay hindi ko alam, pero hindi ko naman pinagsisihan ito. Papa offered me a few Islands where I could start my own business. There were a few excellent resorts in Palawan, but I chose
Nestor's POV. The hardest thing about knowing you don't love me is that you spent so much time pretending you did. "Which Island?" My brow lifted while looking at the catalogue that I was holding. If it weren't for Papa, I would never consider this. But this is my way of starting a new chapter in the business. I'm glad my parents finally cut off the deal about my marriage to the Dela-Merced. Glorisha was still in contact and so clingy. It's not like I don't like her, but that wedding was cancelled two years ago, and here she goes again, trying to win my heart. It wasn't just my fault. I discovered she was having an affair with Romeo, the son of a politician in Mexico. "The island beside Carmella's island, this one." Turo ni Martina. My brow crossed again while looking at the sketch map plan I held. My eyes were riveted to the other g****e earth map on the laptop. I compared the two, and I am more attracted to Carmella Island. "Hindi ba ito kasali?" Turo ko sa isla. "Ay, hindi.
Rizalyn's POV . "What? Anong kalokohan iyan, Mandy?" Tumaas ang kilay ko nang marinig ang nakakawindang na offer niya. "My Island is not for sale, Mandy. Kakabili ko lang sa isla at hindi pa ito bukas sa publiko. Magbubukas pa ako!" pagtatama ko. Kalokohan naman kasi. Sino ba ang may sabi na ibebenta ko ang Carmella Island? E, binili ko nga ito dahil nagustuhan ko ang isla sa kabila ng kakaibang kwento nito. "Ayaw ko, kahit na triple pa ang presyo!" Inis na tugon ko sa sarili. Sino ba kasia ng baliw na handang mag-aksaya ng pera? E, sa ayaw kong ibenta. "And I'm not selling my mini-resort too. Kahit papaano ay kumikita naman iyon. Kaya okay lang. Salamat sa offer pero ayaw ko." Pinatay ko na ang tawag at ngusong napabuntonghininga sa sarili. Talagang sinusubukan ako ng tadhana ngayon dahil kulang ako sa pinansyal na bagay. I don't want to ask for more money from Papa. I have used the funds he gave me and bought Carmella Island. The construction hasn't started but I'm getting
