Aviannah’s chest tightened as memories from the past began flooding her mind. Only a few minutes had passed since they left and said goodbye to her father, yet she couldn’t understand why it felt as though every memory from her past had come rushing back. It was as if, in that brief moment, she had traveled back in time— to a past she had long tried to bury, to a past she had hoped never to relive again.But even after five long years, it still felt like everything had happened just yesterday. No matter how hard she tried to suppress her true feelings, they always found a way to resurface—breaking free from the depths where she had tried to hide them.“Stop the car. I’m getting off,” she said coldly to Andrei, who remained silent as he focused on driving. He didn’t even glance at her, as though he hadn’t heard a single word, and simply continued steering the car forward.They were on their way to meet her friends, Sandra and Jamie, to attend the birthday party of Khyline, Andrei’s g

“Where are they?” Alfred asked Jamie worriedly as soon as he got out of his car, scanning the area as if trying to find Aviannah and Sandra, who, according to Jamie, were both drunk.“I’m really sorry, Alfred, but Andrei already took them home,” Jamie replied, embarrassed.“What?” Alfred’s brows furrowed. Truthfully, he hadn’t even known that Andrei was with them. He had only called Aviannah earlier to ask about their trip to Mindoro the next day. He had no idea why they were in a place like this or what they were doing here.“Andrei insisted on taking them. I couldn’t really do anything, even though I told him you were already on your way to pick us up. I’m really sorry for the trouble. I didn’t have your number either—I was going to call to tell you not to come anymore, but I couldn’t get your number from Avie’s phone. So, I'm really sorry,” Jamie explained at length.Alfred took a deep breath. “It’s okay, Jamie. What matters is that they’re safe. I’m sure Andrei will take good care

It was never Aviannah’s intention to lock Andrei inside her unit. She immediately checked the smart lock feature and saw that the child lock had been activated, causing the door to automatically lock when she closed it from the outside earlier.“Why is this even activated…” she murmured to herself before pressing the deactivate button on the child lock settings.“See? I wasn’t lying. I really was locked in here,” Andrei said.Aviannah cleared her throat. “I-I didn’t mean to lock you in. It’s your fault too—you just show up out of nowhere. And then you suddenly came inside earlier. So that happened.”“You know, maybe you should just say sorry instead of talking so much,” Andrei shot back.“Why would I say sorry? I didn’t do it on purpose.”“But you’re still responsible for me getting locked inside,” he argued.“Pero it’s still your fault because in the first place, you wouldn’t have been locked in if you didn’t barge into my unit,” Aviannah reasoned. She had no intention of losing the

“I don’t want to,” Aviannah replied simply to Andrei.“What?” Andrei asked, frowning at her.“Why would I even follow you? And besides, did I ever tell you to prepare lunch for me? Also, what are you doing here? Why are you even here?”Even though Aviannah was shocked to see Andrei — and to find out he was staying in the unit next to hers — she didn’t let it show. She kept her sassy, intimidating aura in front of him.Andrei took a slow, deep breath while staring at her seriously. Then he crossed his arms.“Okay, fine. Let’s go through this one by one. First, why should you follow me? Because I’m your big brother.’”Aviannah’s brows immediately furrowed at what he said. “What?” She gasped. “You really feel that big-brother role, huh?”“It’s not really like that. But… what exactly do you want me to be to you then?” Andrei asked teasingly.“What?”“Second, you didn’t tell me to prepare lunch for you, that’s true — but I still made you some. Shouldn’t you be at least happy or appreciativ
