NAVIER’S POV  I do not know what exactly happened but there is definitely going on between my older sister Nicole and my best friend Sage. They have been taking turns at all things as if deliberately avoiding each other now. May it be here in the mansion or at the office. In fact, Sage even rarely comes here for the past week and he only reports through calls. What is even more surprising is that somehow, in some miraculous ways, they both arranged their schedules so they would not have to be together as in literally anywhere. It is getting annoyingly shitty having th

SOPHIA’S POV  Whenever I would read novels—any novels with the element of romantic love—there is no secret that I would also experience what they call second lead syndrome where you will like the second lead guy more than the main lead guy. This happens most of the time especially when the main lead guy is just too toxic and shit, even if it is just in the first part of the story. But what is even more fascinating with us most readers is the way we would hate the lead guy for being toxic and shitty, yet we would deliberately fall for someone who is more naturally toxic and shittier, hence, being what makes him the bad guy.

CHAPTER 55: END OF BOOK 1   SOPHIA’S POV   Last night was one of the best sleeps I had and I know that it had something to do with Navier. Yes, Navier slept beside me because I insisted that it was too late for him to drive back home. He could easily call his driver to fetch him and I know he can perfectly do just that, but I am really glad that he did not. He stayed in and wore one of the largest shirts that I had so he could change.   I remembered that we slept in the position where he was pillowed on my chest and as he hugged me as if making sure I would not leave, but I woke up in the opposite position because I was the one who was in his position and he was in mine.   Leaving his side as I make sure that he would not wake up brings me back the memories that I had as our first moment together. The moment he got drunk at the club where I was working and that I had to stay by his side to somehow ta

CHAPTER ONE: WHERE DO WE START? (1) ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣  SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW I did not realize that I fell asleep again until I woke up again. This time, I felt so much better and all the remaining effects of whatever they made me drink seems to have vanished completely. My head does not hurt nor I do not feel anything weird everywhere else. It just took me a moment to realize that someone is playing with my hair… and that someone is none other Navier. I remembered asking him if he could lie down with me and I forgot what happened next when he embraced me, probably because I fell asleep as soon as he did.  

CHAPTER THREE: WHERE DO WE START? (3)   ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤   SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW   When I decided to love Navier the way I love him now, the same repetitive question lingers in my mind even though I already know the answer to it. Will I be willing to risk my safety if it means I can be with the man I know I love? The answer is an immediate yes, no second thoughts needed.   This is not me saying that I want to get hurt or anything like that. This is not me saying that it will be okay if something happens to us. This is not me saying that I am crazy enough to simply jump into danger for Navier. This is me simply saying that I know the risks loving Navier has and I am willing to consider t
