"Just let me know, Mr. Urquio, the date of your honeymoon so I can prepare the things we discussed," the organizer said before leaving the restaurant.Manuela couldn't eat properly because of Uno's conversation. She knew this honeymoon, constantly reminded by Don Victorino, was for their charade. Manuela struggled to comprehend their discussion, especially the exorbitant amount Uno was spending on their fake honeymoon."Are you done eating?" Uno asked, turning to Manuela."Do you think I can eat after that conversation? Really, Uno? Three hundred thousand pesos for a honeymoon?""My old man will suspect us if I don't allocate a significant budget for this honeymoon. I don't want to hear his bullshit 'if I love you' card," Uno replied flatly, earning a kick to the shin from Manuela."Don't curse! My brother might hear you.""Tss! If you're done eating, let's go home.""But you haven't eaten anything," Manuela pointed out, noting that Uno hadn't touched his food."I'm not hungry. Let's

The next morning, Manuela, Uno, and Lucas ate breakfast together. Manuela kept glancing at Uno, who ate silently. She hadn't slept well after his scolding the previous night.Manuela wanted to apologize again for her actions, knowing she wouldn't find peace until she did."Uhmmm, U-Uno…""Don't talk; I don't want to speak with you," Uno coldly interrupted."B-but I want to apologize for my negligence—" Manuela started, flinching as Uno violently dropped his utensils before giving her a cold stare."I don't want to hear any fucking apologies or excuses, Ms. Ibañez. So shut the fuck up."Manuela hung her head, unable to respond; she was at fault."Brother, why are you yelling at my sister? Shouldn't couples avoid fighting?" Lucas commented, causing Manuela to look at him."Lucas, it's okay—""—your sister is at fault, kiddo, so don't take her side," Uno coldly interrupted, as Santi arrived and whispered something to him."Are they all gathered in one place?""They are, sir," Santi repli

Manuela slumped onto the sofa after reviewing all the files Uno had Santi deliver. She felt a headache coming on from the sheer volume of information about Uno's company.She looked down at the completed files, impressed by what she'd read. From strategic and logistical planning to financial and administrative departments, everything was well-organized and efficient. Most striking was the billions of pesos flowing into Uno's company."The profit coming into IFC is peanuts," Manuela muttered, glancing at Uno, who was silently engrossed in his laptop. "My company's expenses are higher than its income."Manuela briefly stared at Uno, whose attractiveness was enhanced by his glasses. Even his bad attitude seemed to add to his charm, the kind that women found appealing."If you're done reviewing those files, your next job is sorting the financial statements from previous reports to the present," Uno stated, without even looking at Manuela, who straightened up."What? I already reviewed

Manuela felt acutely uncomfortable with the sudden turn of events. Don Victorino's impromptu decision to sleep over had led to an emergency room change, forcing her and Uno to share his room for the night.Throughout dinner, Manuela had been fidgeting, noticing Don Victorino's delight as he chatted with Lucas about the sleepover."Do we really have to share a bed?" Manuela asked, glancing at Uno's king-size bed.She stood by the door, unable to move since entering Uno's room. Uno was in the bathroom showering, leaving her restless."Mr. Urquio's room is so… manly. Is black really men's favorite color?" Manuela mused aloud, turning as Uno emerged from the bathroom.Her eyes widened as she quickly faced the door. Uno was wearing only black pajamas, no shirt."Why are you coming out of the bathroom like that? There's a woman here, for your information!" Manuela exclaimed, her face flushed at the sight of Uno's muscular chest."So? As if I'd do anything. Rest assured, I won't touch you. B

Manuela and Uno were on their way to the mall, as instructed by Don Victorino. Santi was driving, and they sat in the backseat, a significant space separating them."Are you fucking crazy? Will your hands detach themselves, that's why you can't take your eyes off them?" Uno coldly rebuked Manuela, who had been staring at her hands."I want to wash my hands with holy water, you tainted my freaking hands, you jerk!" Manuela complained angrily, unable to forget what Uno had done to her hands earlier."You're so dramatic; touching my fucking chest is a privilege, woman. If you're bothered by that, Calíel always carries a dagger; I can cut off your hands if you like," Uno said plainly, causing Manuela to quickly hide her hands behind her back."You already soiled my hands, and now you're threatening me! You have no heart!""Excuse me? Are you saying my fucking chest is dirty?" Uno snapped, raising Manuela's eyebrow."I didn't say anything; you're the one who thought of that.""Fucked it! I
