As I drive, flashes of memories keep coming back to me. I remember one time having dinner with the Dela Garza family. It was when my relationship with Leanna became official to both our families. I never told Gav about it, and I bet she would be surprised and happy for us if she found out about my relationship with her stepsister. The one thing that puzzled and worried me at that time was her silence throughout the dinner. I tried to make conversation, but she rarely replied. Soon, I realized it seemed like she wasn't comfortable with her own family. She would answer when asked, but most of the time, her responses were short and direct. She never told me about her family problems. I remember she once told me how happy she was when she learned she'd be having a little sister, but she never mentioned her stepmom and stepsister. I realized that night that she wasn't that close to her stepmom and Leanna.I followed her to the pool area and found her sitting alone in one of the lounge chair

"Were you coming to the company's Annual Anniversary Party?" I remember asking her during lunch at a restaurant. I planned to ask her to be my date, hoping she'd say yes."Dad obliged me to attend. I'm not sure. Don't tell me it's compulsory for employees to attend?" she asked playfully.She used to attend every year, if I wasn't mistaken. In fact, her whole family never missed a single Anniversary Party. She stopped attending four years ago, and in those years, I knew I wished to see her at those events."No, I just want us to attend together maybe?" I said simply, then looked away, afraid she'd notice my nervousness.Heck, I'd never been so nervous just to ask a girl to be my date at a formal gathering. I felt like a foolish teenage boy asking the girl I liked to the prom, deliriously hoping she would agree. With this woman, it was never easy. I had to grab every opportunity and think of a good strategy to make her say yes."Don't tell me you want me to be your date at the party?" S

When we arrived at the booked hotel resort, Lyzza and I had barely gotten our room numbers when Cedrick Miguel intentionally sent his secretary on an errand, just to leave us alone together. Cedrick Miguel insisted on escorting me to my room, and I unfortunately didn't get a chance to decline. We walked in silence until he decided to break it, confronting me directly."You're avoiding me? Why?" The frank confrontation surprised me; I hadn't expected him to approach me so directly. He'd been formal and professional all day, and now that he had a chance to ruin my day, he was bringing up his so-called feelings again."I'm not avoiding you," I replied, jerking my eyes away to avoid meeting his eyes. "Come on, Gav, don't deny it. It's pretty obvious. Did I intimidate you or did I upset you when I confessed my feelings? Tell me, because I don't know what to do anymore!" Surprised by his sudden angry remarks, my heart tugged a bit when I saw that tinge of pain in his eyes.Silent for a mome

"Arghhh! Our freaking big boss was in beast mode again. He's very upset and keeps scowling all the time." Lyzza came to me looking disgusted."He scolds me for every simple mistake I make. He was in a very foul mood this morning. Did you guys fight last night?" Hearing her complaints and laments, I just ignored her and pretended not to hear her. Still upset about what she did last night, I planned to ignore her for the rest of the day."Do you know he just reprimanded the engineers and architects this morning during the meeting? No one dares to argue or oppose his decisions because they're scared of his temper. And guess what? He shouts all the time and searches for every tiny little detail of a mistake so he can burst out his anger at whoever he wants. Tell me what happened last night, Miss?" She stated frustratedly again.Instead of answering her, I just kept silent and rolled my eyes out of irritation. I continued doing the paperwork I was working on, trying to pretend I didn't hea

Visiting the Tamayos' house feels like home. The familiar peace, care, and love greet me every time I step through their door. I planned to stay and hang out with Aunt Eleanor and Jimena while waiting for Inigo. He texted me that something important came up, so he'd be late. We agreed that Inigo would pick me up at the house after work while I waited for him. Besides, I missed the two women; it's been a month since my last visit. Although I promised myself I'd always spend my weekends in Santa Lucia, I haven't had a chance these past few weeks because something important always came up. I also realized it was difficult and impractical to keep traveling back and forth from the Capital to the town for such a short time, which is why I failed to visit too. It's good that Inigo understood. The poor guy just finds time to text and video call me whenever he misses me.Jimena and Aunt Eleanor were so glad I came home. They were very accommodating and attentive, as usual. I spent time catchin
