ZARIA's POVI WANT TO BE ACCEPTED FOR WHO I AM.During our time together in college, Zavier, who is my cousin, introduced me to Khiana. Because Zavier and Khiana were enrolled in the same class, it was convenient for all of us to spend time together. When we initially started hanging out together, I didn't pay much attention to her.However, as time went on, I began to understand that I had emotions for her. When I initially started getting to know her, I attempted to brush off these sentiments, believing they were nothing more than a passing infatuation, but the more I got to know her, the more I fell in love with her.Yes, I loved Khiana.Not just a friend but romantically.Gustong-gusto ko siya pero hindi ko alam kung paano ko nga ba sasabihin sa kanya ang nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko alam kung paano ba ako magiging honest sa kanya sa nararamdaman ko."Zaria, tara kain tayo sa Popeyes. Sama ka ba?" malambing na tanong ni Khiana sa akin."Syempre naman."I really cherished every moment

RYKER's POVI AM SO DAMN IRRITATED!I could see from Khiana's eyes that she's sad that her old friend was leaving. Hindi naman niya kailangan sa buhay niya ang babaeng 'yon dahil nandito naman na ako. She's just a hindrance to the both of us.I need to calm down. I am being needy.Yes, I wanted Khiana all for myself.No one can look at her. No one can touch her. Just me."She's mine..." I said under my breath.I bit my lower lip. Maybe my celibacy was the reason I suddenly became obsessed with Khiana. I haven't touched a woman for a long time, and when we had sex, it felt so amazing that I lost my shit. She made me forget my name.Mabilis ako na nag-type sa cellphone ko ng message. I won't be meeting her tonight.To: KhianaI am quite busy...I won't be able to see you tonight.Wala pang isang minuto ay nag-reply na siya sa akin.From: KhianaOkay! Take care!But I lied. Hindi totoong busy ako. I just wanted to be alone and try something new again. Gusto ko lang muna mapag-isa at masi

KHIANA's POV"I'M KHIANA'S EX-BOYFRIEND."I didn't expect him to be here. He's the last person I can think of that will go to this place. Ano pa ba ang gusto niya? When he cheated on me, natapos na ang relasyon naming dalawa. Wala ng kailangan pang balikan."I don't care who the fuck are you! Fucking stay away from her!" Ryker shouted at him.Akmang susugurin pa siya ni Ryker pero mabilis ko 'tong pinigilan. This will do no good. Lalo na at nasa harapan pa kami ng hotel at maraming tao ang pwede makakita sa amin at sa nangyayari at nakakahiya 'yon.Nakita kung tumayo si Levi. "I don't also give a fuck if who you are," maangas na sabi nito. "I am here for Khiana. I'm going to talk to her. Who are you anyway?""Fuck you!" sigaw ni Ryker."Her rebound? Her new boytoy?" Levi smirked.Dahil sa sinabi niya ay nakatikim tuloy siya ng sapak mula kay Ryker. Tingin ko ay kaunti na lang at mababasag na ang mukha ni Levi sa bigat ng kamay nito. But it seemed like it didn't affect on him. He is st

RYKER's POV"KHIANA?"I awoke feeling foggy and confused about where I was. When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was nobody in the room. When I noticed that there's no traces of Khiana, I immediately got out of bed. Napasilip ako sa orasan at namilog ang mata ko nang makita ko kung anong oras na.Fucking 2 p.m.I didn't expect to oversleep that long. Last night with Khiana was amazing and I couldn't put it into words. I want to have more nights like that with her. I am sure that I'll never forget that night. It was memorable and just fucking unforgettable."Khiana? Are you there?"Naglakad ako papunta sa bathroom para tignan kung nando'n ba siya. Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita na wala kahit anong senyales ni Khiana. I roamed around my suite and saw no traces of her, and for some reason... My suite feels empty.At first, I believed that Khiana had most likely returned to her own room, so I hastily got dressed and went downstairs to check for her. However, I did not expect what I saw

RYKER's POV"I WANT TO SEE KHIANA AGAIN."While I was sitting in my car, I couldn't help but stare at the structure that was in front of me. Through the help of a private investigator, I was able to track down Khiana's friend Tiffany and get her address. I have traveled all the way from the suburbs into the heart of the city, to the neighborhood, and I am now parked in front of Tiffany's house, a part of an apartment complex.I felt a mixture of fear and excitement as I stepped out of my car and took a few deep breaths before proceeding. I have always been someone who is willing to take chances, and while I was aware that chasing Khiana constituted taking a chance, I was unable to stop myself from doing it. Mahal ko siya at sigurado na ako sa bagay na 'yon. Kaya handa akong gawin ang lahat para bumalik siya sa akin.Maglalakad na sana ako ng bigla naman tumunog ang cellphone ko. I rolled my eyes as I picked up the call. This is the last time I am picking up his call! Hindi na talaga t
