“ What the fuck are you doing here?” Laera asked, half yelling. “ Hey baby,” he waved, grinning. “ I just asked you a goddamn question, Jeremy,” her brow creased, “ and how do you…,” “ Cut me some slack on these questions, babe,” he cut her short, irritated at how she didn't look pleased to see him. “ Is that how you're going to greet your boyfriend?” Laera's jaw dropped. She scoffed, “Boyfriend?” “ You haven't seen me for quite a while and now this is how you'll react? Don't you miss me?” “ What are you talking about?” She shook her head in confusion when something alarming tugged at her. “ How did you know where I live, Jeremy?” He chuckled, “ Wait, is that supposed to be a question?” He made to step in, but Laera quickly blocked the entrance with her body, stepped outside, and immediately shutting the door behind her, causing Jeremy to grit his teeth angrily. “ You won't even invite me in?” “ Not before you answer my question. How did you know where I live,” “

Eloise’s eyes flickered to Antonio, staring to see the smiles from the laughter they'd shared hours ago still clinging to their lips. The memories of Mason's yells, his pale face and trembling hands wouldn't stop the bubbling feeling that rushes through her veins. Revenge tasted sweet. She'd admitted to herself.But this man standing quietly beside her in the elevator —had just made it intoxicating.Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought of revenge being this satisfying, this amazing, leaving her grinning like a fool.Releasing Mason’s sex tape might have been the best thing that had happened since she came back in time.As if Antonio could feel her gaze piercing into him, he turned to look at her but she was quick to look away. As if it were dangerous to be caught.“ It’s so nice seeing you smile like that,” he murmured, low and teasing.Eloise cleared her throat, her lashes batting. “ Don't get used to me smiling at you.”She whispered but the curve at the corner of her

Eloise—brightening smile—babybump.The way the breeze blew her hair back, her smile brightened the day like she was the goddess of the universe, controlling the light and air to enhance her beauty.Yet, he could only stand in the distance. Staring. Watching. Yearning.‘ She's pregnant,’ Antonio muttered in his mind, with aches burning inside of him, emptiness pressing against his chest.His fist clenched out of anger, his eyes burned with late realization. His breath shuddered with regret.He didn't become her rival just because of business competition, nor out of boredom as he had convinced himself. He'd loved her defiant retaliation, her aggressive comeback each time he countered her business deals.It was a way of communicating with her. Many times at different banquets, dinner parties, and galas, he'd bumped into her, but she’d never spared him a glance. She was always at a distance, smiling like that and entrapping him into endless staring.Laughing out loud and disarming him.H

Like the day wouldn't stop winking at her, bright with normalcy, yet every glance, every pause carried the weight of unspoken feelings that made Eloise's heart stumble.But not only stumble. She felt special and embraced by Antonio's family as she kept looking at the card filled with schedules made by his grandmother.“ We'll have to do all these, right?” She asked, before looking at Antonio.“ Is there anyone you are not comfortable with? We won't do anyone you don't want,”“ No, of course,” she shook her head quickly, lips pressing together as though to trap a smile. “ That'll be disrespectful.”Seeing how she's fighting not to smile, Antonio grinned, finding it so cute and adorable. His eyes trailed from her flushed cheeks to her beautiful black hair that cascaded down her shoulder, to how gorgeously she's dressed.In a black mini gown with thin spaghetti straps and black pointed-toe heels with a black handbag. Her dress was all classy and sophisticated while he was dressed in his

The scent of buttered popcorn and neon heat welcomed Antonio and Eloise as they walked into the arcade, lights blinking everywhere with machines chiming in chaos. “ Can we disappear into any section here?” Eloise whispered to Antonio as she locked her arm into his. Antonio smirked, amused at her torment. “ You invited her, remember? Good Samaritans always get rewarded.” Eloise shot him a glare that could burn holes through steel, but it only made him grin wider. “ Elly! Antonio!” They heard Cecilia's tiny voice calling after them and the echo of her hastening heels catching up to them. “ This place looks fun,” she chirped upon arriving by their side, with her arm looping around her husband's, but her eyes soon moved to Antonio. Eloise clenched her jaw. 'Looks fun until you arrive,’ she grumbled in her mind. Larton, oblivious, already lumbered toward the basketball machine, tossing coins in with childlike glee. “ Darling, win me a teddy bear!” Cecilia called after him, but her
