Claire’s“Grandpa!” I called out joyfully as I stepped out of the van. All the exhaustion from the trip melted away the moment I saw him standing there, waiting for me. He looked older, sure—but still just as charming and handsome as I remembered.He was standing at the front entrance of the mansion, cane in one hand for support, a wide grin stretched across his face as I approached.He pulled me into a tight hug, and I hugged him back just as hard. He may be old now, but he’s still strong—probably from all the hard work he did in his younger years. He’s always been such a hardworking man.“You’ve grown so much, my dear. I almost didn’t recognize you. If it weren’t for your voice, I would’ve thought an angel just called out to me,” he said with a twinkle in his eyes, clearly emotional.I laughed at his sweet words and kissed his cheek. I hugged him again. It’s been such a long time since I last came here—work kept getting in the way.“You’re still such a sweet talker, Grandpa.”“I’m j

Sebastian’sI rubbed my temple and leaned back in my swivel chair. Ever since I got back from the island, I’ve been drowning in work. On top of my responsibilities, I had to deal with the tasks that were supposed to be Niu’s. He’s still the CEO of my father’s company, but everything’s been dumped on me since he was forced to go on vacation—to cool down the rumors about his divorce.I wanted to be mad at him for getting himself into that mess, but I can’t deny it worked in my favor. I’m just glad he didn’t fall for Claire... and got tangled up with someone else instead.I pulled out my phone and stared at her picture on my screen. She’s been my wallpaper ever since she left. It’s been three weeks since I last saw her. I know she found out about the agreement between me and Niu—that’s probably why she ran off that day. I still owe her an explanation, but that can wait. Right now, I need to focus on stopping those damn photos from getting out.I let out a long sigh and looked at her smil

ClaireI weakly held my stomach and leaned against the wall beside the bathroom sink. This is the fifth day I’ve woken up feeling like crap. Just yesterday, I rushed straight to the bathroom after waking up because of the horrible taste in my mouth and that heavy, churning feeling in my stomach. I threw up several times before I started to feel even a little better. I’ve also been dizzy these past few days, constantly feeling drained. I almost collapsed the other day—good thing Manang Esme was there to catch me and help me sit down.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hoping I’d feel a little better. But let’s be honest—this isn’t something that goes away just by breathing deeply.I didn’t want to admit it, but I think I already knew what was going on.After rinsing my mouth, I stared at myself in the mirror. I’ve gained a bit of weight over the past few months, and it probably has something to do with how much I’ve been eating lately. Honestly, all I’ve been doing is eating—even

ClaireIt was already late afternoon when I finally decided to step out of my room. I still wasn’t feeling well—my head kept spinning and I’d throw up anything I tried to eat. Grandpa wanted to take me to the hospital, but I told him I was fine.To be honest, I did want to go—but I just didn’t want anyone with me. I told him I just needed more rest and that it wasn’t anything serious. He didn’t like it, but he let it go.I only started feeling better this afternoon, so I went downstairs. Grandpa might start worrying if I stayed locked in my room all day. The dizziness was gone, so I figured it was safe.I headed to the kitchen to get something to drink, but before I stepped inside, I heard the helpers talking—and not quietly.Curious, I peeked through the kitchen door to see what the fuss was about.They were laughing, giggling like crazy, and completely unaware I was there. I tiptoed inside, trying not to be seen. I was dying to know what had them so excited—they were blushing and pr

Claire’sSoft snores, in sync with the slow rise and fall of his chest, greeted me the moment I woke up. I was lying on Sebastian’s rock-hard chest, his toned torso sprinkled with tiny curls.We were tangled up in the sheets—completely bare, as if we’d just been born. And honestly? Waking up like this, with the man you love beside you, hearing the calm rhythm of his heartbeat before anything else—it felt so good. That ridiculously handsome face being the first thing you see in the morning? Definitely a bonus.I closed my eyes as last night’s memories came flooding back. Pure bliss.He brought me to his room and made love to me the entire night. He started rough, like a beast that had been starved for far too long—but when I told him to go easy because, well, someone’s growing inside me, he immediately understood.The joy in his eyes while he claimed me… God, I saw it. He was so gentle I actually whined about it. He burst out laughing because apparently, I was complaining he was being
