Prologue

Nakakatawa. Nakakalungkot. Nakakaiyak. Ilang taon na nga ba simula nang ikasal kami ni Adrian? Tatlo? Yeah. It's been three years. It's been three years since I married the man of my dreams. It's been three years since I dreamt of a paradise world. And it's been three years since I last felt that someone loves me. It's been three years since I started living this nightmare. Malapit na akong mawalan ng pag-asa pero pinipilit kong kumapit dahil naniniwala akong mamahalin niya rin ako kapag nagtiis ako at nakita niya ang halaga ko. "What? Yvon, you're crying again?" Nagitla ako nang marinig ko ang boses ng asawa ko.I quickly wiped my tears away and put on a smile. "Adi, nandito ka na pala. Nagluto ako ng paborito mo." Lumapit ako sa kanya para kunin ang coat niya."I'm not hungry, kumain na ako. Just eat by yourself,” aniya saka ako tinalikuran."Adi, sandali…” pigil ko sa braso niya.He looked at me impatiently. "What?""W-Wala ka bang naaalala sa araw ngayon?" I hopefully asked."Pwe

Chapter 1

Chapter 1Llilieth’s POVSix Years Later“Mommy! Mommy, look at this! I did a drawing of Daddy Eros, me and you!”Narinig ko ang sigaw ng anak ko mula sa sala habang ako’y nagluluto sa kusina. Lumingon ako agad. Nakita ko si Kaze, bitbit ang kanyang drawing pad, patakbong lumapit sa akin na parang excited na ibalita ang panalo niya sa buong mundo. Hawak-hawak niya ang isang makulay na larawang iginuhit gamit ang krayola—isang lalaking nakangiti, may hawak na bulaklak at ilang regalo. Iginuhit niya rin ang isang babae at isang batang mukhang masaya sa gitna nila.Maganda ang pagkakaguhit niya. Kahit sa edad na anim ay kitang-kita ko ng namana niya ang talento sa pagguhit ng kanyang ama.Napangiti ako, kahit may konting kirot sa puso. Pinunasan ko ang kamay ko sa apron at lumuhod sa harap niya. “Wow, ang galing-galing naman ng anak ko! Ang gwapo ni Daddy Eros dito, ah!” Sinubukan kong panatilihin ang sigla sa boses ko, pero may bahagi sa akin na napipilitan pa rin. Hindi dahil hindi ak

Chapter 2Llilieth’s POVAng lamig ng aircon sa clinic habang nakaupo kami ni Kaze sa waiting area. Tahimik ang buong paligid, tila natutulog pa ang mundo. Weekday ngayon at maaga pa, kaya halos kami lang ang naroon. Walang ibang tunog kundi ang mahinang ugong ng aircon at paminsan-minsang pag-flip ng magazine ng receptionist sa lamesa niya.Regular dental check-up lang dapat ito—isang bagay na ordinaryo, paulit-ulit, walang dapat ikabahala. Pero may ibang bumabagabag sa dibdib ko. Hindi ko maipaliwanag. Hindi dahil sa appointment. Hindi rin dahil sa kung anong konkretong dahilan. Maybe it was just... instinct? O baka dahil masyado nang tahimik. Yung klaseng katahimikang parang kulang na lang ay may pumutok na lobo.“Mommy, I want to pee,” bulong ni Kaze habang hinahatak ang laylayan ng blouse ko.Napatingin ako sa kanya at tinapik ang kanyang ulo. “You want me to go with you?” Tanong ko.Umiling siya. “I can go by myself.”Ngumiti ako. “Sige, doon lang sa may hallway, baby. May sign.

Chapter 3Adrian’s POV I don’t usually talk to random kids. Actually, I avoid them. They’re noisy. They ask too many questions. They get too close too fast—messy little creatures with sticky hands and wandering eyes. I’ve built a life around silence and distance. I prefer it that way. Cold, detached, simple. But this one… this curious little boy who came stumbling into my shadow with wide, observant eyes—he was different. “Mister, can you help me wash my hands?” He asked politely. I hesitated but his pleading eyes took a toll on me. “Sure.” While washing both our hands, he stared at mine. “Mister, why do you have a tattoo on your hand?” His voice was soft but sure, unafraid. He pointed at my wrist, his gaze focused and steady. There was no hesitation, no filter. Just wonder. I stared back at him. Most kids would’ve been intimidated. Most adults, even. But not him. Napangiti ako ng bahagya—halos hindi ko namalayan. “Just a design,” sagot ko. “So I won't forget something that w

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Llilieth’s POV It's been almost a week since that unexpected encounter with Adrian but my heart still feels restless. Hindi ko siya inaasahan. Hindi ko siya hinanap. Pero dumating siya. Bigla. Walang babala. At ngayon, kahit anong pilit kong bumalik sa normal, kahit anong ulit ng "okay lang 'to" sa sarili ko, hindi pa rin ako mapalagay. Nasa restaurant kami. Si Kaze, gaya ng dati, ay masiglang naglalaro sa sulok ang anak ko. Gumawa siya ng spaceship gamit ang LEGO at sinasabi niyang pupunta raw siya sa Saturn para maghanap ng tsokolate. Natatawa si Vience habang pinapanood siya. Ako naman, tahimik lang, pinipilit pakalmahin ang puso kong parang may inaabangang pagsabog. "Hey," tawag ni Vience, sabay lapit sa akin. "You’re spacing out again. You'll worry your son." Napabuntong-hininga ako. "Sorry. Hindi ko lang... hindi ko lang mapigil isipin." “Si Adrian?” Tahimik akong tumango. "Ang daming tanong sa isip ko, Vience. What if he finds out? What if he comes back, not

Chapter 5

Adrian's POV The city lights outside my office window blurred into one continuous stream of anxiety.My hands were clenched on the desk. I wasn’t even touching my tablet, but I kept staring at the blank screen as if it would suddenly fill with the DNA results I’d been waiting for.“Boss sir.”Ni hindi ko gaanong napansin ang pagpasok ni Blaster sa office ko, he was holding a white envelope in his hand. His voice was calm but firm.“They’re here. Iiwan ko na lang sa table mo,”"No, stay," pigil ko sa kanya nang akma na siyang aalis. "I don't think I can do it by myself."Bahagya siyang ngumiti at huminga ng malalim. "I didn't know the great Adrian Raugh Lanes has something that can make him nervous." He joked but I didn't say anything.I’ve stared at this envelope for twenty-seven minutes. I counted.It’s sitting on my desk, unopened, like a bomb waiting to go off.Across from me, Blaster started eating his bag of banana chips like it’s just another day."Open it. You won't know unles

Chapter 6

Adrian's POV The day had been good but I that afternoon, I wasn’t so lucky. Dia showed up. She didn’t knock. She never did. She just sauntered into my office, red stilettos clicking against the marble like gunshots. “Adrian,” she said in that sultry, singsong tone. “Bakit hindi ka sumasagot sa mga tawag ko, ni hindi ka nag-re-reply sa messages ko?” “Maybe because I didn’t want to," deretso kong sagot. She pouted, dramatically. “You’re so cold.” “You’re so persistent... and annoying,” “I saved your grandmother,” she reminded me. “Ten years ago,” I said flatly. “We’ve paid for your entire medical school tuition. I even sent you to Europe for that stupid pastry class. You're living in our property and you get money from us all the time,” “That was culinary immersion,” she corrected. “Besides, you can’t put a price on fate and life-debt.” I sighed and waved at Blaster through the glass when I saw him. I used to treat Dia like my own sister dahil akala ko ay isa siya

Chapter 7

Llilieth’s POV It was a usual morning. Ang araw ay malumanay na sumisilip sa mga bintana ng Lily’s Table, kasabay ng mainit na amoy ng kape at bagong lutong sinangag. Tahimik ang paligid. Walang masyadong tao—ganoon talaga tuwing weekdays. Nasa school si Kaze, kaya for once, it was quiet inside the restaurant. Thursday ngayon kaya malamang bukas na naman magdadagsaan ang mga customer.At sa harap ko, si Vience—he was sipping his coffee calmly pero alam kong naghihintay lang siyang magsimula akong magsalita."Vien, magiging masama ba akong ina kung ilalayo ko si Kaze kay Adrian?" I asked, hoping he'd give me the answer I want.Ngumiti siya at inilapag sa mesa ang tasa. "Lily, you're the purest person I know. Kung ano man ang magiging desisyon mo, alam kong para iyon sa ikabubuti ng anak mo." Aniya.Bumuntong-hinga ako. "I told him he can spend time with Kaze."Ngumiti siya at muling kinuha ang tasa. “Mabuti na lang at napag-

Chapter 8

Adrian's POV I adjusted my tie while looking at myself in the mirror. Calm. Composed. Controlled. Just like any other day. But it wasn’t. Today, I wasn’t going to the office for a board meeting or to negotiate contracts worth billions. Today was about something far more… unfamiliar but it made me feel excited to the point I couldn't even bring myself to fall asleep all night. “Blaster,” I called out when I went down the stairs. “Yes, Boss Sir?” he popped his head into my study, still chewing on some banana chips he thought I wouldn't notice. “I need your help today.” He blinked. “With what? Do you need someone taken care of? I mean—I didn’t mean—Not literally! Unless it’s a metaphor—” I gave him a look. “We're buying things for my son. For Kaze.” Blaster choked. “Wait… what?

Chapter 9

Vience's POVI’ve always believed that family isn’t just about blood. It’s who shows up, stays, and protects you even when things get messy.And right now, Llilieth and Kaze were at the center of one big, incoming mess. At kailangan kong siguraduhin na hindi sila mata-trap sa loob ng nagbabadyang buhawi.Now, he's back. Adrian Raugh Lanes—CEO, absent father, and now suddenly, a man trying to play “Daddy’s back.” Cute. But no.If he was the prince charming every girl dream about, it should have been fine but he wasn't near anywhere that, not even a knight in shining armor. Kahit sabihin ko kay Lily na hindi masamang bigyan niya ng pagkakataon na makasama ni Adrian ang anak nila, nag-aalala pa rin ako. Alam kong kahit pilit itago ni Lily, mayroon at mayroon pa rin siyang nararamdaman para sa dating asawa, kahit na katiting lang."Not everyone who shows up deserves to stay...”I’ve lived by that belief since I was old enough to unde
