ARSENIO'S POV I never understood how well I was crazy about Adele until this very moment. Watching her smile so radiantly as she walked up to her ex fiancé broke my heart to many miserable fragments. The moment she let go my arm and I trailed her eyes to his, I was suddenly reminded that she's never gonna fall for me. It's a painful fact but it's a reality_a reality I'm not willing to accept. She already got slightly distant with me after our fight few days ago. Ever since I know her, I've never seen her smile so genuinely, so beautifully like this. I feel jealous, angry and really horrible. How is it that she's entirely different from the broken, revenge tasty woman I vividly remember from few weeks ago? How is it that she's easily smiling and walking up to the same man who abandoned her at their supposed wedding six years ago? Did she already forgive him? Did she already find out the truth? What exactly has transformed Adele within such a short time? I sta

ARSENIO'S POV I was walking towards the restroom in search of Adele the moment I found she'd excused herself from talking with Manager Henry's loud wife. Seeing her smile and talk with Carlo was really a heart shattering moment for me. When he'd leaned behind her ears and whispered something, I felt really sick within. And then, the moment Emily had come by and taken her away, Carlo had sent a knowing glare my direction. I just watched him silently from the side. Would I really let him take her away from me? I knew the answer to that question in my heart. It's really going to be a tough decision. Presently, I was walking down the hallway when I sighted her coming from the opposite direction, her eyes on her phone. Her eyebrows furrowed as a bewildered look reflected on her face. What's it this time? Another secret she may never spill? I could feel the intense battle of my emotions within me as my eyes took in her every move. Would she even accept my feelings? There's no p

NARRATIVE The girls let out a gasp the moment Adele explained what had happened to them. "OMG! I never thought he could do such a thing. My gosh, I'm highly disappointed." Lana shook her head in disapproval of what Arsenio had done. "Exactly! I thought he's a sweet guy. Too bad because I can't vouch for him again." Clara said poutingly while she stared softly at her sister. She could imagine how Adele's feeling presently. "Now it's no longer Carlo who's the bad guy like we thought, it's now Arsenio." Lu Cheng sighed, her head resting against the couch as she stared reflectively at the ornate ceiling in Adele's living room. Adele smiled sadly as she listened to them lament. She was staring regretfully at her phone, rereading Carlo's text for the umpteenth time since she discovered it. "You guys, don't blame him that much. It's my fault to not have noticed his obsession from the start." She said and the girls immediately disagreed. "No Adele, don't even think about

NARRATIVE Staring at the cold looking woman, who sat in her position at the far end of the conference hall, Rhys couldn't help but notice something was quite unusual with her. The Chairwoman of the renowned CR's Luxury_Brenda Rodriguez, gave off a really cold aura as she sat domineeringly, in her exquisite leather chair. Rhys watched her carefully from the side as she shot her icy glare across the conference room. Staring at the entire team of the Investor Relations department sitting before her, Brenda leaned back on her chair just as a side of her lips curved up in a deadly smirk. "Who was it?" She asked yet again, her voice laced in a subtle warning tone. The conference room fell silent once more. The team members knew how well not to anger her. Especially when she's in her domineering chairwoman mood. They all had their heads bowed low as they glanced questioningly at each other_knowing fully well it was only a matter of minutes before she catches the culpr

NARRATIVE Deeply into the sketch of a dress she was making on her sketchpad, Adele's mind wavered several times as she wait for Lana's call. She sincerely hoped it'll yield positive results. Just then, her phone which was on her desk beside her sketchpad, rang. Immediately, she dropped her pencil and picked it up on seeing it's Lana calling. "Hey Lana, what's the update? Is he around?" She asked expectantly but her hope was dashed once more when she heard her sigh. "I'm sorry Adele. Carlo's no longer in NYC." Lana's words made Adele stunned for a while. "Tha...that's what Alistair's friend said? Did you perhaps asked where he's located at the moment? Probably, he returned to Canada?" She hurriedly asked, trying to hold onto any bit of hope she could get. It shouldn't be like the last time, right? He didn't disappear without leaving a trace once again. At least, this time, she could ascertain his whereabouts and go to him. "I asked him, Adele. Sadly, he said he
