Prologue

When my phone rang, I knew it was Daddy who’s calling me. I’ve left home because I wanted to be free. I wanted to explore. I wanted to travel an escape from all of the problems and heartaches. I believe that it’s my only choice. I don’t have any other options left. If I wanted to escape and avoid all the troubles, I should leave. And now, I’m here.The smell of the beach is so soothing. It gives off that different feeling from the city. It makes me think better. It gives me peace of mind.I walked towards the hotel entrance while my eyes roamed around the people playing on the sand. They’re playing beach volleyball. One woman got caught up with the sand and fell on her butt flat. I smiled as she got up with difficulty but with a smile on her face. It’s a good thing my aviators are on. No o

Chapter 1

From: Kino SloaneSubject: WHERE ARE YOU COUSINHey, you’ve been out for the whole week. Where are you?I frowned when I read my cousin’s email. Kino is my only cousin who’s my age. The rest of my cousins are all younger than me for at least three years. Also, Kino is the person my dad trusts the most. He even let him hold one department in his company. My cousin is business minded like Dad. I wonder what’s so good about business.I like travelling in places more than staying in the office and drowning myself in projects and all.I put my phone on airplane mode and only used it as a music player when I was riding in the plane. Even in my room, I only used it for music and other applications. I don’t want my Dad to know where I am. He’d come get me in a blink if he knew where I was.I was the only daughter he had. My mother died giving birth to me, the reas

Chapter 2

I tried my hardest to stay away from Nero for the next few days. Every morning, we would bump into each other while waiting for the elevator to come but we don’t share anything but a courteous nod. I would see him creasing his forehead after looking at me but I shrugged it off.Less than seven weeks and I’ll be gone. I don’t need to have any ties stronger than camaraderie and friendship with anyone else. I can’t let my feelings grow for one person. Not when I know that I will leave soon. I won’t stay here. This is temporary.Today, I decided to paint the whole view from my balcony. I’m glad I brought all of my painting materials and my canvas. I studies architecture in college because I thought it would help my dad’s company in the future. I could have just pursued fine arts.I wanted to do free art. Not the one with inhibitions.I looked out at all of the tourists having fun in playing volleyball. They are laughi

Chapter 3

I couldn’t sleep at night. I spent my time watching boring YouTube videos to induce sleep but I couldn’t get to free my mind of all of these thoughts. Nero left the moment I finished my food. He did not show up right after. I didn’t answer his question. I couldn’t bring myself to. I denied that I was avoiding him. But then, can one admit that she’s avoiding one man because emotions are stirring up inside her? I don’t think so. I think I did the only choice I have. I opened my email and noticed that I had two emails from Kino.From: Kino SloaneSubject: WE ARE GOING CRAZYHey, Ella! Where are you? Tell me now that I’m asking you directly before I hire someone to find you and get you back h

Chapter 4

Today I will jog early in the morning. I feel like I’ve been eating and slouching too much that my fats are about to show up anytime soon. I wore a mid-riff racerback and leggings. I tied my hair in a high ponytail as I faced myself in the mirror. My eyes went back to my body. I’m not curvy. I’m not slim either. I look average. There’s nothing I can flaunt to guys other than my legs. But why would I flaunt my legs anyway? I shook my head and decided to clear my mind for this. I needed to run to clear my mind. I tied my iPod Nano on my right upper arm and plugged my earphones on. I put on my Nikes and went out of the room. For my first week in this place, I’ve noticed people biking and jogging by the shoreline. I heard

Chapter 5

I turned off the airplane mode of my phone for the first time in weeks. As I opened it, hundreds of messages came along. From Dad, from Aunt Miranda and from Kino. All of them are asking my whereabouts and on why I am not responding to their texts. Luckily, Kino was the only smart one out of them to reach me through the email. I walked towards my closet and changed into a yellow sundress. I’m going to the spa for massage this afternoon. This is my first time going to a real spa because I was always grounded in the house all of my life. “Good afternoon, Miss Sloane! Looks like you’re ready to go again?” Heart greeted me by the reception.I smiled and nodded. “Yes.” “Well, have fun, Miss Sloane.” She cheered

Chapter 6

Nero leaned his forehead on mine. He’s breathing heavily and his eyes are closed. It’s as if kissing me drained and sucked all of the oxygen in him. “You can’t avoid me now, Miss Sloane.” He repeated as he caressed my cheek. I bit my lip and looked away. Now, I won’t be able to stop anything that’s starting to grow inside me. He’s made me crazy for him. But above all, that was my first kiss. I haven’t kissed anyone in my whole life. Not the way Nero kissed me. How will I be able to kiss someone else again when he’s already set that damn standard high up in the pedestal? “Hey,” he called me and lifted my chin to face him. “I’m sorry. Did I freak you out?” he a

Chapter 7

After eating breakfast, Nero waited for me to change into appropriate attire before going out of the room. He made me change three times. First, he didn’t like that I wore bikini. Second, he didn’t like the shortness of the skirt. Third, he didn’t like how revealing the neckline was. On the fourth try, he approved. I wore a gray rash guard and a pair of mid-thigh length board shorts. I was glaring at him the whole time but he just wouldn’t budge. He’s so strict with the dress code. I don’t even know why he doesn’t want me to wear bikini. It’s appropriate for the place and for the ambience. Anyone can even skinny dip here and it’s going to be fine because it’s a beach. I was mumbling words under my breath as we went inside the lift. He&rsqu

Chapter 8

Nero followed me until I reached one of the sun loungers on the beach side. A lot of tourists are having fun in some of the loungers but we had enough for us. I sat on the lounger and bit my lip. No, Kinsella. He said he wanted you. He said he liked you. He didn’t say he wanted to be with you. He called you baby several times but that’s because he’s a flirt and he’s flirting with you. That was what I was thinking when I reached the loungers. Nero sat beside me and made me face him. He looked at me worried. “Hey, is something wrong?” He asked.I shut my eyes. “Nothing.” I replied. No, more like I lied.Nero frowned in front of

Chapter 9

I’ve spent the whole week with Nero. It was fun to be with him. He also taught me to surf and I think I’m getting better and better every day. As for Lucy, she’s so civil in front of me. Well, it’s not like I want to be close to her anyway. She likes Nero but he likes me. The situation’s a bit fouled up.Today, I am headed off towards the beach again. Nero said he’ll be busy but I didn’t bother asking about what would keep him occupied today. Maybe I’d see him by the shore since he’s a surd instructor.I decided to just chill under the heat of the sun to pass time. Besides, being alone sometimes helps me think things through. I’ve made some friends around, like Greg and Leslie, who, apparently are also staying in the hotel for a vacation. They’re with their other close friends.“You’ve been here for a month now?” I asked as Leslie sat down beside the lounger that I am in.
