Ara stood up slowly so that she wouldn't wake up Zandro. When she stood up she almost fell because of the pain and soreness of her friend down there "Shit!" she couldn't help but cursed. She slowly walked to the bathroom to take a bath and get dressed "D*mn!! It hurts even more than a gunshot wound!." she looked at Zandro who was sound asleep "I will really kill you!" she whispered with annoyance.Zandro woke up in Ara's room but she was no longer beside him. He touched his body as he looked around "Did she just abandon me like a f*cker?!."He got up quickly and ran to the bathroom when he heard Ara screaming and cursing. Seeing Ara's sharp gaze made him back away "W-hat h-appened?.""You do this to me! You motherf*cker!!" Ara shouted, just as he was about to approach when Ara pointed his index finger at him. "Don't you dare come near me, I will really beat you!!." He just stayed at the door and couldn't get close to Ara. “Let me help you—" "Get out of m

ARA was with Salem at the table who did nothing but drink wine. While Zandro, Than, and Zyl were socializing and investigating what was going on around them."Don't drown yourself in wine!" she scolded Salem."Why?!— I work all week without a break, maybe I deserve to have fun even just a little bit? right?!." Salem said who already drowned in drunkenness.Zyl suddenly came and snatched the bottle of wine that Salem was holding "Give that back to me?!" Salem shouted. "No!, That’s enough, have you forgotten the reason why we are here?" Zyl whispered emphatically in Salem's ear."Y-yeah I know—" Salem rolled her eyes then crossed her arms "Did you forget that I am a sniper and not a fighter?. Take care of your work... while me?!, I'll just drink alcohol all night long.""Pasaway ka talaga!" Zyl exclaimed. Ara lowered her champagne, nagpaalam siya kay Zyl na magiikot muna. "I'll just look for the first Archon."

THEY were inside the lobby and talking about what happened at the event.Ara was emotionless and remained silent. She just looked at the first Archon holding his nape while suppressing his anger. Zandro found out about the attack that happened in the parking lot. That's why he was so angry. "There was a policy but someone still tried to violate it! Sinasagad talaga nila ang pasensya ko" he exclaimed.  "Wait—" Zyl replied while still focused on the laptop "He is the butler of Don. Aris!—"Zandro slammed the table hard and irritated with anger "Ang lakas ng loob niya!!—" "Aris is dead," Zyl said everyone was surprised but Ara remained unresponsive. She trusted her Papa Regan to clean up her mess."What do you mean?" Zandro asked and frowned."Someone killed the leader of the syndicate on the day of the event, and in my opinion, they blamed us for what happened," Zyl replied then caressed his chin because of confusion.

ARA WOKE up early in the morning, they were already inside the room of the yacht while Zandro was sleeping soundly next to her.She looked at the time and it was five o'clock in the morning. She slowly removed Zandro's arm that was wrapped around her waist and slowly stood up to get dressed. She didn't want to get caught because of her tattoo, like last night when Zandro almost saw her tattoo. It's just that Zandro knew that she wasn't comfortable with the light on so he turned off the light when he remembered her condition then.She was already wearing her undies and shorts when Zandro woke up. "Beautiful" Zandro murmured. Ara covered her chest when she saw him staring at her naked body. Zandro smiled slightly while the drowsiness was still obvious in his eyes "I kissed and touched that many times, why are you still shy?. You should be proud of your beautiful body" he said then held out his hands "Come here, sleep next to me again, it's still too early."

WHEN Ara woke up at dawn, Zandro was next to her again and was sleeping soundly. She sighed and look at his attractive face. "What are you doing to me?, why do I lose my sanity with just a little tenderness of yours— I must hate you and not love you—" she thought.Ara felt uneasy, her plan does not include liking him but why when the heart dominates you can do nothing but follow it. because no matter what you do to restraint, when your heart has betrayed you you will go crazy. She was afraid of the possible consequences, What if Zandro finds out her secret?.  that was the end of it all. "I shouldn't let my heart feel this way. I don’t want to keep my feelings a secret, but I can't have you— many barricades will stand in the way between the two of us. We can't be together, and when you find out about my identity, you will hate me." she gasped at the thought and slowly got up and got dressed then left the room to get a glass of water.
