[Fia's POV]"Fia, you're spacing out. Kanina ka pa. Sino ba 'yang iniisip mo?" si Alice na sinusubuan si Violet ng chicken joy. "Kanina kapa tingin ng tingin diyan sa phone mo. Nakikinig ka ba?""Huh? Ah yes... I'm listening..." napalunok ako at napatingin kay Alice. "Ano nga ulit yun?"Alice rolled her eyeballs. "Sabi ko, I'll set you up on a date tomorrow. Kaya please lang, kundi kapa nakaka move on diyan kay Elj, pagkakataon mo na ngayon. He's Marco's cousin. He's a lawyer. Twenty-nine years old. Mula sa magandang pamilya. Gwapo, at higit sa lahat mabait. I'm sure he could level your standard kung si Elijah ang pamantayan mo."

[Fia's POV]I STOOD behind his back fighting the urge to inch my body close to him and bury my face at the angle of his nape.This is another stupid thing to think of. I know I have no right to kiss him or do whatever that is my silly mind is urging me to do...But... I don't know. Kayden just had the power to awaken every nerve fiber inside my being.I bit my bottom lip. "Hin-di ka pa ba tapos?""You should have waited for me outside," he sighed and brought a hand to press his temple. So he knew na nandito ako? Ayaw lang siguro niyang magpa istorbo.

[Fia's POV]"Stay here, Fia. Kakausapin ko lang si Kayden," said Eric while he turned off the power lock button."Eric... no!!!" I helplessly yelped but it was too late. Nakababa na siya.Nanginginig kong nasapo ang bibig ko.Kayden's temper is something you wouldn't want to mess with. He gets angry like a roaring beast. I knew Eric knows that. Nakita naman niya kung pa'no magalit si Kayden nung nasa shooting kami. And I presumed they almost had a brawl at the resort. Hindi ko naman kasi alam ang napag-usapan nila nun.Eric was nearing Kayden kaya hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa na bumaba. From what I

[Kayden's POV]I struggled to bring air into my lungs while listening to her sobs. I tried to breathe in and out heavily to alleviate the heaviness inside my chest but it didn't help.I walked towards her room and carefully deposited my body with her on her bed. I cradled her little frame and I started to gently rub her back and stroke her hair. I closed my eyes, inhaling a taste of her heavenly scent. She made a mewling sound at lalo pang isiniksik ang ulo niya sa leeg ko. Her hot tears flowed on my skin. I wanted to wipe them off but I'm afraid of how much hurt I would see in her eyes so I let her face rest against it.I knew she was with my brother. I asked Cassy how'd the dinner go. She told me everything. I wanted to be there too pero alam kong hindi talaga ako pa

[Fia's POV]"MAG ta-taxi nalang kasi ako," giit ko at hinila ang kamay ko mula sa kamay ni Kayden. My shift in his steak house has ended and I'm heading to Violet's birthday. He just came in about thirty minutes ago at pumunta lang dito para ako sunduin. I insisted that there was no need for him to fetch me pero nagpumilit parin siya. It has been a routine. Hinahatid sundo niya ako. He even informs me of his whereabouts kahit hindi ko naman tinatanong. Thankfully, he was careful. He agreed on us not being public. He only holds my hand and...kisses me kapag kami nalang dalawa. Well, except now. He won't let go of my hand.Alam kong hindi tama 'tong ginagawa ko but I don't want to deprive myself of him. I need him. Ang daming tumatakbo sa
