I was drowning in paperwork, the kind that makes your hand cramp and your eyes blur, when the door to my office slammed open. "Ever heard of knocking?" I snapped, my eyes narrowing into a glare as I looked up from the documents. My voice came out sharp, irritated. Mr. Seran strolled in like he owned the damn place. "What do you want?" "I need to talk to you about Ravanilla," he said, dead serious. "We both know the guy's a womanizer, right? Last week, my assistant-Aisha-stormed into my office crying, said he almost raped her-" "Stop right there." I cut him off, my jaw clenched. "Don't twist the story. That wasn't attempted rape. They both knew what they were doing in that office, and don't pretend otherwise." My temper boiled. I grabbed the pen I was holding and hurled it across the room at him. "I'm just saying..." he continued, voice low. "I don't want Trinity ending up like Aisha. You know what I mean-just another one of Ravanilla's girls." Then, just like that, he w

At that moment, all I could do was stare into his green eyes while he stared at my naturally red lips. He was getting closer, and with every inch, I felt paralyzed. It felt like I couldn't defend my own lips.It was like I was hypnotized to lean in closer to him, too. Just as our lips were about to meet, his phone suddenly rang. I took a deep breath because the kiss didn't happen. Thank God for that phone call-whoever you are, thank you!The phone call just saved my ass!"What?" His voice was serious with a hint of irritation, though he tried to hide it. As much as I wanted to think he was disappointed that his plan to kiss me was interrupted, I decided not to.I shouldn't get attached to this man. He'll only leave me anyway. He's filthy rich. Celebrities, models, and who-knows-who are all dying to be with him. Who am I to compete with them?"I'll be there..." He took a deep breath, looked at his watch, and then at me. "In an hour. I have to do something important, I'll get back to you

"I met her when I was nine. She said her name was Tyellian-and she used to call me Blue. Funny, really. She mistook my eyes for blue, when they're actually green. But then the day came when I had to return to Manila, and I had to say goodbye. Before I left, she gave me this beaded bracelet, and we made a promise-we'd find each other no matter what. Believe it or not, I'm still looking for her. I've been madly in love with her ever since." I swallowed hard. It's him. He's Blue. The boy I've been searching for all these years. God-we've been looking for each other for nearly fourteen years. I was about to throw my arms around him and tell him I'm Tyellian... but then I remembered Nicole. I knew how badly it would hurt her to find out I had a past with the man she's fallen for too. I don't want to hurt her. She's done so much for me-she's like a sister. And I can't ruin our friendship. I just can't. ... "I'll have the paper bags delivered to your condo," Boss said, his eyes brie

WARNING "Khiro, have you ever fallen in love with two women?" "Hell no. That's disgusting." I smirked. That was Khiro for you-heart colder than a corpse. The guy doesn't fall in love; he breaks hearts for sport. "Womanizer alert," I teased. "Fucking gross, man. You might be the boss here, but don't hit me with that kind of cheesy question." He threw the book he was reading at me before walking out. "Sky-" "My apologies, Don. But I don't have any interest in women." His face was blank. Emotionless. That's just how Sky is-calculated and cold. "Anyway," I shifted gears, "any updates on the incident at my company? Any leads at all?" "We're still digging, Don," Sky replied. "But one thing's clear-the enemy is connected to the Rebel Knights again. They're growing bolder. We need to put them down before they get out of hand." I scoffed. "They don't bother me. Not even their associates. Especially when I have you, Alpha, Bullet, Caliber, and the rest of my men behind me.
