Lahat ng Kabanata ng As She Dance with the Devil: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Ashton’s POV Ashton had returned to the Philippines for negotiations with prospective investors. He had been courting them for quite some time and finally succeeded. Nakuha niya ang loob ng mga ito sa maliit na panahon and it was a win for both parties. Laman siya ngayon ng news dahil sa mga interviews na pinaunlakan niya with the help of his mom. Pinaburan niya iyon dahil lubos na makakatulong din iyon sa pag-unlad ng kompanya. He scrolled his phone. Nasa profile siya ni Luna. Kaunti lang ang mga pictures na naroon, halos tagged photos pa ng mga katrabaho. He misses her. All the damn time. He tried to call her but she always rejects it. Hindi niya alam na ganito pala kahirap manligaw. Ngayon niya lang naranasan. At kung sa tingin nito ay titigil siya dahil sa patuloy na pag-iignora nito sa kanya, pwes nagkakamali ito. He'll fucking wait for her kahit pa habambuhay. Gano'n siya kaseryoso sa dalaga. He still couldn't believe how everything happened so fast. Parang noong isang

Luna’s POV Ashton is standing at their door as her mother opened it. Medyo nagulat siya at hindi inaasahan ang pagdating nito. "Oh iho, nakabalik ka na pala." Manghang bungad ng mama niya rito at agad itong pinapasok. Napaayos siya sa sarili at naupo nang maayos. Gayo'n na lamang ang makahulugang tingin ni Keis sa ikinilos niya na binalewala niya. It's been three days since he went back to Philippines. And it feels like a long week for her. Parang hindi na siya sanay na hindi ito nakikitang nakabuntot sa kanya. He never failed sending her roses with a note. Paisa-isa lang at araw-araw iyon, at lahat ng iyon ay nilalagay niya sa vase ng kwarto niya. Namataan niya ang kapatid na lalaki. Nagmamadali itong bumaba at masayang binati si Ashton na para bang totoong kapatid. Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala. He's never been like that to Brix and seeing him smitten to Ashton makes her wonder why he liked him that much. And knowing her brother, he never ever went outside his room just for

Luna’s POV "I admit I was a jerk before, but I'm not the same person anymore. I know words aren't enough, that's why I'm proving it through actions." Oh, Ashton! "You haven't heard any rumors about me being with another woman, have you? Because Luna, you are enough for me, you're my everything. Believe me," he explained desperately. "I hate you, Ashton." she utters, her tears already pooling her eyes. "I know, that's why I'm trying my best para mahalin mo ako." "Why did you chose to love me after knowing I'm married?" She asked, her voice trembling. Ashton looked at her eyes, his expression softened. "Luna, I think love isn't something you choose; it just happens. I didn't plan on falling for you, but I did. And I can't help how I feel. The moment I saw you at the dancefloor, I can't help but fix my eyes at you. And that fucking one night stand we had, I knew it. I knew that I won't get over you." "But it's not too late. You can walk away, forget and find someone," she

Luna’s POV “What’s going on with that pretty head of yours?” Nagulat siya nang maramdaman niya ang mga braso ni Ashton na biglang bumalot sa baywang niya mula sa likod. Malumanay, pero mahigpit ang yakap nito na parang takot ito na mawala siya kahit isang segundo lang. Napapikit siya saglit, pero agad ding napabuntong-hininga. Pagharap niya rito, agad siya nitong hinalikan sa labi. Mabilis ngunit mariin, at puno ng pananabik na parang isang linggo silang hindi nagkikita, gayong kahapon lang nandito rin ito. “I thought you were working late,” puna niya habang bahagyang nakakunot ang noo. Bumitaw ito sa pagkakayakap. Tumalikod naman siya para ipagpatuloy ang ginagawang pagsusuri sa mga papeles. Pero gaya ng nakasanayan, sumunod ito’t naupo sa harap ng desk niya na parang ito ang boss dito. “I missed you already,” nakangiti nitong sambit, habang nakapangalumbaba, nakatitig lang sa kanya na para bang siya lang ang laman ng buong mundo nito. “I can’t focus without seeing you and our

Ashton’s POV His phone lit up. He receives another sms from her. Napataas ang isang kilay niya nang mabasa ang mensahe roon. Can you please buy bibingka? I haven't tasted it yet. I just saw it on friend's profile and I'm curious. And don't forget the lemon icecream, 'kay? I'll be waiting for you. Drive safely. Love u. "Okay. So, where will I buy it?" He asked cluelessly to himself. He can't asked Teri, his secretary. She's currently out of reach when he tried to call her. Maybe she's busy with her child. He browsed his phone. He stopped when he saw their group chat. There were unread messages he still hasn't opened yet. Puro mga walang kwenta kasi iyon, asaran at gaguhan lang ng mga kaibigan niya. May mga pictures din at video na madalas sinesend ni Nero. Binalewala niya ang mga mensaheng naroon. Bagkus ay pinindot ang calling button. This is his first time reaching out his friends. Hindi pa alam na nasa Pinas na siya isang buwan na ang nakalipas. Pero may palagay siyang
