Prologue:

Aviannah’s heart pounded loudly as she sat in silence, waiting for her father to speak. Once again, he had joined her for a meal—something he only did when he had something important to tell her."I'm going to marry your Aunt Cristy," her father announced, causing her to freeze momentarily.She already knew about his plans and desire to marry his girlfriend. But for some reason, she still felt a pang in her heart upon hearing it. Perhaps it was because she still couldn’t fully accept that someone else now occupied a place in her father’s heart—a place that should have belonged only to her mother.Her father was well aware that she did not approve of his new relationship. Yet, it seemed he had fallen too deeply in love, to the point where he chose that woman over her—his own daughter.Aviannah swallowed the food she was chewing before calmly responding to her father, “Okay.”Her father paused for a moment, looking at her with slight confusion.“Okay?” her father asked.“Yes.”“It’s oka

Chapter 1:

"I love it! I really, really love it! I definitely made the right choice in picking you. The design you created for me turned out absolutely beautiful!" the gorgeous woman happily praised Aviannah while holding the sketchbook that contained the wedding dress she had drawn for her.After finishing her studies, Aviannah pursued a career as a fashion designer. And even though she had only been in the industry for a year, she already seemed like an expert, judging by the overwhelming positive feedback from her clients and the growing number of people trusting her designs.Because of this, despite being in the field for just a year, she had already managed to establish her own boutique. She was incredibly proud that everything she had achieved came from her own hard work and perseverance—despite multiple attempts by her father and stepmother to convince her to help with their family business instead.For Aviannah, there was nothing more fulfilling than building her own name in the business

Chapter 2:

"Who told you to get that drunk in the first place? It was your friend Sandra’s birthday, but in the end, she had to worry about how to get you all home. You made her take care of you and stress over you."Aviannah gently massaged both her temples repeatedly while listening to her nanny, Vangie, scolding her."Alright, alright, Yaya. We were wrong about that. But everyone was just having too much fun, that’s why it happened," she replied with her eyes closed."Still, when you know you can’t handle it anymore, you should stop drinking," Yaya Vangie scolded her before placing a hot bowl of soup in front of her. "Here, this is good for hangovers.""Thank you." Aviannah moved slowly to taste the soup that Vangie had prepared for her."Later, your daddy and Tita Cristy will be coming downstairs. Fix yourself up because they don’t know you came home drunk last night," Vangie reminded her."Good thing Mang Lito didn’t tell on me—""Lito didn’t even know you came home drunk last night," Vangi

Chapter 3:

"Because I'm serious… I never want to see him again."Aviannah's last words to her friend Sandra kept replaying in her mind after their phone conversation earlier. She was determined—she truly never wanted to see Andrei again. That was what she had been carefully planning: how to avoid him now that he was back in the country.But barely a few minutes had passed when her father knocked on her bedroom door, insisting that she join them for breakfast.Every excuse she had given her father earlier seemed useless. In the end, he won—and now, here she was, sitting at the dining table, face to face with the very man she had sworn never to see again.She stared directly at Andrei, and he, in turn, studied her intently, as if examining her closely after five long years of not seeing each other."I had Vangie cook all of this for you, son. Didn’t you say you missed eating these kinds of dishes?" Cristy said cheerfully to Andrei.From Andrei, Aviannah’s gaze slowly drifted to the food laid out b

Chapter 4:

Sweating, Aviannah slumped into the swivel chair in her small office at her boutique shop. On top of that, she was gasping for air as if she had just come from a battle."Ms. Aviannah? Are you okay?""I'm not okay," she replied between breaths. "The traffic on the road was terrible. The jeepney driver stopped at almost every corner. It was so hot, and the air was filled with smoke," she complained.Ruffa, her flamboyant staff member and designer at the boutique, immediately handed her a glass of water. "Here, drink this first."Aviannah quickly took the water from Ruffa and drank it."What happened? Did your car break down, so you had to commute?" asked Nimfa, the sales assistant at the boutique."I wish that were the case. But no. Not only was my driver unavailable, but there was also an annoying person who ruined my morning!" Aviannah said irritably.Her frustration toward Andrei resurfaced as she recalled that he was the reason she had to endure such a difficult commute. There was

Chapter 5:

Aviannah’s eyes quickly searched for the person she came here for at the party of the man she despised. She had come straight from her boutique shop because securing a deal with the Zhang family was so important to her. She and her team had worked on this project for a month, so there was no way she would let it slip away.“It’s better if we split up,” Aviannah said to Ruffa and Nimfa.“Alright, I’ll go that way,” Nimfa replied.“Okay, I’ll go to the other side. There are so many handsome guys there,” Ruffa added before walking away. Aviannah could only shake her head before continuing her search.“Aviannah!”She immediately turned when she heard a familiar voice.“Yaya…” she murmured as she faced the person.“I thought you wouldn’t be able to attend your brother’s party,” Vangie said as she approached her.“I really had no plans of coming here.”“Then why are you here?”“Mrs. Cheska Zhang is here.”“Oh, is that so?”“Have you seen her around?” Aviannah asked.“Oh dear, with the numbe

Chapter 6:

“Oh, Aviannah, it’s good that you’re here.”“Hi, Yaya!” Aviannah greeted with a smile as she entered the gate of their mansion.Vangie glanced at the luxurious car outside that had just dropped off her ward. “Who brought you home?” Vangie asked Aviannah while following her inside. Aviannah headed straight to the kitchen to get a cold drink from the fridge and took a sip.“Uhm… it was Alfred,” Aviannah answered simply, making Vangie momentarily pause.“What? Did I hear that right? Did you just say Alfred brought you home?”“Yes, Yaya. Why?”“Oh, nothing. But why did he drive you home? Does that mean you spent the whole day with him?” Vangie pried further.“What?”“You left so early this morning. When I went to your room to offer you breakfast, you were already gone.”“I was at the shop early in the morning, Yaya.”“And then? How did Alfred end up driving you home?”“We met.”“Why did you meet?”“Wait a minute, Yaya. Why do you have so many questions about him?”“Well, it’s just that… h

Chapter 7:

"Y-Yes, Dad," Aviannah softly replied to her father, avoiding Andrei’s gaze."That’s good then," her father responded, seemingly pleased with her answer."Who’s Alfred, hon?" Cristy suddenly asked."The son of Mr. and Mrs. Guden.""Oh, really? That Alfred—" Cristy didn’t finish her sentence, but Aviannah already understood what she meant.Alfred. The man her father once wanted to arrange her with."Yes, Alfred Guden. That’s him," Ark simply confirmed to Cristy while chewing his food.Aviannah swallowed her food with difficulty, her gaze instinctively landing on Andrei again. His eyes were sharper now, staring at her with an intensity that made her chest tighten. She didn’t understand why, but his gaze felt like a silent accusation as if she had done something wrong."Well, I’m glad to know that you two are still seeing each other," Ark remarked."Uhm… we’re good friends, Dad," she softly replied, trying to redirect the conversation."That’s good then. And I think he’s a good guy. Why

Chapter 8:

"I don’t know what got into me that I ended up making that promise to her. I must be going crazy!" Aviannah sulked in front of her friends."It’s okay, Avie. I know that moment was awkward for you. Imagine, your past love’s girlfriend inviting you to her party. Even I wouldn’t know how to react in that situation," Jamie said."And besides, you only said you would try to go. You didn’t actually commit to attending, did you? So, don’t go if you’re not comfortable with it," Sandra added.They were currently at a fine dining restaurant having lunch together. The only problem was that their food hadn’t been served yet."That’s exactly the problem. She even texted me earlier this morning to remind me about Sunday. And I don’t understand myself—why, even though she’s Andrei’s girlfriend, I just can’t seem to be annoyed at her. Like… she’s just too nice for me to be mean to," Aviannah expressed."Yeah, maybe she is too good. But don’t forget that she’s your rival. So, you should do everything

Chapter 9:

“Oh my goodness!” Vangie was startled when she saw Andrei in the dark corner of the veranda.“Ate Vangie…” Andrei said as he gently scratched his head.“Oh, it’s you. Why are you there in the dark and in the corner? What are you doing there?” Vangie asked, clutching her chest.“I'm sorry if I startled you. I just couldn’t sleep, so I came out here to get some fresh air,” Andrei replied to Vangie.“Is that so? Would you like me to make you some warm milk? That’s what I usually do for Aviannah whenever she comes home tired and has trouble sleeping.”“Oh no, that won’t be necessary. I’m fine. I think I’ll get sleepy in a little while,” Andrei said.“Are you sure?”“Yes, thank you,” Andrei replied with a smile.“Alright then, it’s up to you.”“What about you? What are you doing out here?”“Aviannah is coming home soon, so I’m waiting for her.”“I see…” Andrei cleared his throat before asking another question. “Uhm… does Aviannah usually come home at this hour?”“Lately, she’s been coming
