Rizalyn's POV . 'The only reason you won't let go of what is making you sad is that it was the only thing that made you happy.' "OMG! Ang gulo-gulo 'te!" Ang maingay na boses ni Vaninay ang nagpataas sa tainga ko at naging kampana ito. We had just landed in Manila, and I got annoyed because Mr Ravens was not yet here. I messaged him last night while I was still in Mexico, and he did make sure to be here before seven. Pero hello!? Alas nuebe na at wala pa siya. Huwag na huwag niyang masabi na traffic 'te, dahil hindi ah! "Rizalyn, OMG! Listen to this, gurl!" Namilog ang mga mata ni Vanny habang nakatitig sa akin. Ang alam ko nagpaalam lang siyang mag-toilet. Pero ngayon, dinaig pa niya ang sangkatutak na marites. "Why? What's up? It's no mainit." Hawi sa mahabang buhok ko. Naiinitan na talaga ako dahil kanina pa ako rito nakatayo. Impaktong Mr. Ravens na ito. Wala pa talaga siya rito! "The wedding!" Hawak niya sa kamay ko at nagsimula ang kakaibang kalabog sa puso ko. The w

Rizalyn's POV."H-Hi, Miss? May I help you?"Tumaas ang isang kilay ko at napangiwi ako sa sarili nang matitigan ko ang mukha ni Raquel.Heck, hindi niya ako kilala? Isip ko.She looked at me suspiciously and then cleared her throat. The smile on her face indicates that she doesn't know me."What can I do for you, Miss? Is there anything you would like to eat?" Ngiti niya na parang sira.Napaawang na ang labi ko.Tsk, wala na talagang pag-asa ito."Ate Raquel. . ." mahinang saad ko at napakurap ako sa sarili. Tinangal ko na ang suot na sunshades at ginulo ko lang din ang blonde na buhok ko. Ngumiti ako. At least man lang makilala niya ang ngipin ko."Rizalyn!?" Namilog ang mga mata niya at napatakip-bibig ito.See? That works, baby! My mind speaks. Kilala niya ang ngipin ko!"Oh my goodness me! Ano ba'ng ginawa mo sa sarili mo bata ka!?" Pamaywang niya.Akala ko pa naman ay super hug ang ibibigay niya dahil tatlong taon kaming hindi nagkita. Pero ang talak niya agad ang welcome greet

Nestor's POV. The hardest thing about knowing you don't love me is that you spent so much time pretending you did. "Which Island?" My brow lifted while looking at the catalogue that I was holding. If it weren't for Papa, I would never consider this. But this is my way of starting a new chapter in the business. I'm glad my parents finally cut off the deal about my marriage to the Dela-Merced. Glorisha was still in contact and so clingy. It's not like I don't like her, but that wedding was cancelled two years ago, and here she goes again, trying to win my heart. It wasn't just my fault. I discovered she was having an affair with Romeo, the son of a politician in Mexico. "The island beside Carmella's island, this one." Turo ni Martina. My brow crossed again while looking at the sketch map plan I held. My eyes were riveted to the other g****e earth map on the laptop. I compared the two, and I am more attracted to Carmella Island. "Hindi ba ito kasali?" Turo ko sa isla. "Ay, hindi.

Nestor's POV. "Settle yourself here and manage the business. Do that at least," si Mama sa akin. "Ma, I have other plans in mind, and. . ." "So, gusto mo pa rin ba'ng matali sa mga Dela Merced? Glorisha is making her move again and wants you back. She's making her way back into the records, Nestor. And sooner or later, your father will agree to this again. Okay lang ba sa 'yo ito?" I paused a step forward after hearing it. I came here to give Mama my respect because it's her birthday. Ang tagal na din na hindi ako bumisita sa mansyon dahil marami akong ginagawa. I should have flown to Cagayan de Oro immediately, but I changed my mind because of her. "Ma, it's my life. My heart. My choice. Papa has given me three years, and I still have a year for that." "And after that? Kung hindi mo pa rin makita ang babaeng hinahanap mo? Paano na? Magpapakasal ka na ulit kay Glorisha?" Pilyang ngiti niya at hinaplos lang din ang likod ko. "Anak, kilala kita. I know that it was you doing who t

Rizalyn's POV. "Hawak na!" Sigaw nila. I was blindfolded, but both of my hands were free. Someone guided my hand and rested them on his shoulder. He smells great, fresh manly woody scent. My hands rested on his chest. It was lovely, a perfect broad chest by the look of it. I pressed my lips together as I didn't want to smile too much. Kanina pa kasi hindi mapawi ang ngiti sa labi ko dahil maiingay ang mga kasama ko sa likod. Nang sandaling magdikit ang katawan namin, dahil bahagyang may tumulak sa katawan ko sa kanya, ay naramdaman ko agad ang kakaibang pakiramdam sa loob ng puso ko. This is exciting! I had never been so excited at this game for so long. Stupida na kung stupida. Wala na akong pakialam. Lalagpas na sa kalendaryo ang edad ko kung magiging Maria Clara pa ako. And besides, I am no longer a virgin. I have no regrets when I gave myself to Nestor. Siya naman ang gusto ko at hindi ko pinagsisihan iyon. Pero sana, sa lalaking gusto akong mahalin, ay gusto kong malaman
