Inside Xoan's office, Wrenley hesitated before meeting his gaze, biting her lip. "Xoan, tomorrow's the weekend. Could you find some time to shop with me? I promise it won't take long."Even though her words were modest, it was genuinely how she felt."I don't have time. I have a meeting tomorrow," Xoan responded.Wrenley unexpectedly proposed, "Xoan, if the meeting isn't important, could you perhaps reschedule it for some time together?"Wrently was used to people always accommodating her, so she forgot that she was asking Xoan."Wrenley, be reasonable," Xoan responded, feeling an odd pang of discomfort. He was instantly reminded of Yaslyn, knowing she would never have posed such a brazen request. Absorbed in his thoughts, he missed the disappointment on Wrenley's face."Xoan, are you even listening to me? Why are you daydreaming?"What was occupying Xoan's thoughts? Wrenley instantly suspected it was Yaslyn."Just thinking about some stuff," he replied.Wrenley asked with a h

Yaslyn noticed Santiago turning on his charm again, but it was aimed at the innocent Belicia.She slapped him playfully on the forehead and thought, 'He never changes!'"I wasn't thinking of anything else," he replied.Although Belicia had never been in a relationship, and despite having rejected many admirers, she could not help but feel a flutter in her heart when charmed by such a handsome man.Yaslyn intervened. "Enough of this. Don't tease her anymore, Santiago. Belicia is very shy. Both of you, get ready. We'll be shooting a short video soon."Since they were a contractual couple, they needed to make the most of the moment.Santiago frowned, looking confused. "So soon?""Of course. I've already thought of the theme.""What theme would that be?"Yaslyn slapped her thigh in excitement. "The love story between a school bully and the innocent top student."Santiago, the school bully. Belicia, the innocent top student.Santiago frowned even more, pointing to himself in disb

Yaslyn instantly understood Belicia's discomfort."Of course not. I just thought..."Belicia's face burned with embarrassment, wishing the earth would open up and swallow her whole."Enough of that," Yaslyn replied, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I'm starving. Shall we eat?"It was only then that Santiago looked away and nodded. "Let's have the waiter serve the dishes."The atmosphere held an unmistakable tension. Yaslyn could not help but regret her impromptu dinner invitation, thinking perhaps a bonus would have sufficed.Throughout the meal, Belicia ate with her head bowed. Santiago was mischievous, his eyes stuck on her.Yaslyn smiled playfully when the dinner ended "When you get home, check your phone. There's a surprise waiting."A notification chimed almost immediately. Beliciaapeeked at her screen to see a jaw-dropping transfer of a hundred and forty thousand dollars from Yaslyn. She had never seen such an amount in her life. Her heart raced, realizing she had made

"How did this happen?" he whispered in disbelief."It's late, Santiago. Go home. I'm fine, really. You shouldn't hover over me like this."Yaslyn nudged him away, signaling her need for space. She had clearly decided to keep him at a distance.Understanding the situation, Santiago knew that love often needed patience and persistence. Offering a quiet farewell, he gripped the medicine he had brought for her and left.As he walked past a trash can, he discarded the medicine without a second thought. 'What's the use' he pondered, a hint of irritation hidden behind his composed facade.That night, Yaslyn was haunted by a nightmare.Santiago's hands were wrapped around her neck, his eyes bloodshot, his body taut with tension. He wanted to lock her in an unyielding bond. In her dream, she was forced into marriage with him. Waking up drenched in icy sweat, the dream’s intensity left her shaken.It was just a dream, but Yaslyn knew Santiago's unpredictable nature. What if he did somethi

'Isn't a couple's date a tad hasty?' Santiago suppressed a sigh.If things kept going that way, netizens would surely link him romantically with Belicia. Yet, his genuine affection was for Yaslyn, not the manipulative Belicia.Upon learning of the plan, Belicia shyly cast her eyes downward. "Isn't this a bit...presumptuous? I've never been on a date before."Although starting a fake relationship with Santiago sounded tempting, she believed that over time, she could make it real and capture Santiago's heart. She schemed silently, unaware that Santiago was mentally cursing her.Santiago, knowing that he could not outright refuse, shifted the conversation. "There will be an additional cost involved."Yaslyn immediately understood. The 'cost' Santiago referred to was likely the favor of accompanying him to his family banquet."What else do you want?" she inquired.Santiago's lips curled into a sly smile. "I want you to stay at my place for a few days. If you agree, I'll happily film
