Claire's Story"Manang, could you bring this outside please?" I set a tray of marinated pork skewers on the table."Alright, I'll take care of it, Claire. You've been in the kitchen too long—your husband's looking for you," Manang said."Okay, Manang Lucing. If you need any help, I'll be by the pool," I told her, glancing back before leaving the kitchen. I headed upstairs to change.Last week I decided to take a break from work. Together with my crew, we came here to Palawan for a short vacation. We're only staying for two days, just enough time for me to recharge from my hectic schedule. I brought my entire staff from Glamour Gems so they could rest too, and even Niu came along. It was nice of him to agree despite having so much work at the office with all their expansion projects.I laid out all the bikinis I'd brought on the bed. I made sure to come prepared for this. Looking at the swimsuits lined up, I'd deliberately chosen bright colors to be more attractive—yellow, orange, appl

Claire's POV "Try this one, Claire. That color will look amazing on you." Kate handed me a royal blue bodycon dress with lace sleeves. I took it and examined it—yeah, the color and fabric really were beautiful.Kate and I had decided to go shopping. She said I was getting bored staying at home and needed to unwind. That was her reasoning, not mine. Honestly, I think she was the one who wanted to unwind and just dragged me along.It’s been two days since Sebastian texted me, and until now, he still hasn’t shown up. Maybe he hasn’t come home yet. Niu would’ve told me if he had.Are you seriously waiting for him, Claire? Really?I glared at the sarcastic voice in my head that just loves to mess with me. If I could strangle that little nagging part of my brain, I would."Hey, Claire. You keep zoning out. You’re not fun to be with today, huh? All you think about is Papa Seb. Do you still want me as your best friend? And please don’t even try to deny it—it’s all over your face." Kate scold

Claire’s POV I giggled as I felt a pair of strong hands grab my waist while I danced to the beat of the loud music. I swayed my hips in rhythm with the man behind me, his hard arousal pressing right against my backside. My head was spinning, and I couldn't stop laughing. This was all so new to me. I'd never let loose like this before. Now I finally understood why some people were so obsessed with parties and booze. I raised my arms and bounced to the rhythm, feeling a kind of freedom I’d never experienced. This was the first time I truly let myself go. Kate practically dragged me to the bar tonight. She said I needed to forget what I saw at the restaurant—and this, apparently, was the only way to do it. And because I’m weak when it comes to her, I said yes. But honestly? I wasn't regretting it. Not even a little. I was having the time of my life. When I told Niu I was going out with Kate, he didn’t ask questions. He just reminded me to be responsible. Responsible? Definitely not.

Sebastian’s POV I let out a long breath and breathed in her scent again and again. My lips wandered slowly from her jaw to her neck, then back to her lips. Her scent and warmth were making my head spin—literally. Claire, straddling me like she’s giving herself completely to me, felt like a dream come true. I’m getting more obsessed with her every single day. Her soft body pressed against mine felt incredible. I’ve been with countless women before, but nothing compares to how it feels having her this close. I deepened our kiss, biting her lower lip gently to get access into her mouth—and she didn’t disappoint. Our tongues danced to a rhythm only the two of us could hear. She was so responsive to every kiss, every touch. My hand started to trail down her left thigh. Since she was straddling me, her exposed legs gave me easy access under her dress. My palm slid up between her thighs—she was still wet from what happened on the

CLAIRE'S POV I bit my lip, smiling to myself as I stared into nothing. That night with Seb was pure bliss. I couldn’t stop myself from grinning just thinking about how sweet he was. Being in his arms just felt right. The warmth of his embrace gave me a sense of safety, like I belonged there. He didn’t have to say anything—I could feel it in the way he held me. It made me believe I could count on him when everything else falls apart… that he could save me when life turns against me. There’s a strange warmth that spreads through my chest whenever I think about the possibility that Seb actually has feelings for me. I know it’s not just about lust—it’s more than that. It runs deeper. And I could tell he felt that connection too when we were together. Those rebellious butterflies in my stomach wouldn’t stop fluttering every time I remembered the way he kissed me. He kissed differently than any of my past boyfriends—his lips were soft but inte
