CHAPTER FIVE: WELCOME BACK, YOUNG MASTER (2)   ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢    NAVIER’S POINT OF VIEW   When I was fourteen and Nicole was sixteen, it was the first time we were ever introduced to our mom’s… colleagues. Before, we did not know what to call them instead of that. Colleagues. The word felt out of place for the aura of the whole situation, but it was all what we had. Mome’s colleagues that we never saw again after that sing meeting in the Sy Mansion.   I can clearly recall what our mom told me then, we will only be able to meet them at the right time. We never really knew when was that “right time” but neither of our parents explained nor said

CHAPTER SEVEN: ALL FOR YOU (1)   ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤   SOPHIA’S POINT OF VIEW   It has been almost a week since Navier brought me to the Sy Mansion, toured me around, and introduced his people to me; not to mention everything else that happened that neither Navier nor I wanted to experience in my first time being there. It has been a week and it is as if I did not just meet the other side of my boyfriend. By saying I met his other side, I realized now that the more appropriate word is “having a glimpse of who Navier is outside his normal corporate world”.   If I am being completely honest, the week that has easily gone by was not enough for me to sink everything in. It sounded so simple, I know, that I just have to accept that Navier, the man that I love, is not completely th

CHAPTER NINE: ALL FOR YOU (3)   ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡   NICOLE’S POINT OF VIEW   Should I ask for Navier to drive for me? Definitely.   Should I call for Sophia first? Definitely.   Should I… No. Just the mere thought of Sage is definitely an instant “no”.   There is just too much that I want—need—to do that I remained immobile in my seat, just staring at my office’s ceiling. In my defense, I just got out of a very long meeting which almost killed me or maybe almost made me kill someone. But that is still just a lame excuse. I should ge

CHAPTER ELEVEN: ALL FOR YOU (5) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ Out of all the people that Sophia will meet today, Nicole is the most unexpected one and the one who is most thankful for because she just realized how much she missed her! Will it be considered overreacting when it was only almost two weeks since she last saw her in person and she misses her already? Overreacting or not, she really missed her!  To her surprise though, Nicole did not come with anyone. Her driver is not even present which confused her a little because, as far as she knows, the young lady boss is not really into driving her own; hence the need for her driver with her all the time. “Oh, don’t even ask, my love, because I don’t really know where to st

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: NEVER BEEN STRANGERS, MORE THAN FRIENDS (2)   ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡   FLASHBACK   Nicole could not control herself. She must be losing her mind—or maybe, even more possible, she is dreaming. But this is neither. She is not losing her mind, nor she is not dreaming. Looking at how she is with Sage right now, this is far from both. This is their reality and reality never tasted this good. She just knows that Sage’s lips will taste good.   But she fully knows that she cannot have this reality that easily. Seeing how Sage controls herself, she knows that this man will put up a fight with himself to never lose control. She wanted to laugh. This man is just too righteous for her evil plans.   She is
