Nice!”Click.Click.Click.“Okay! Break!” I shouted. Everyone started taking their break while the makeup artists retouched the models. I sat in front of the computer and inserted the DSLR’s memory card into the hard drive. Perfect! My shots turned out amazing!“Gab!” I turned and saw Kesha walking toward me. “Ayy, finally! You’re on break, too. You’ve been all over the place,” she said, plopping down on the chair beside me to peek at the computer screen. “Nice shots, huh.”“Thanks. I’m exhausted already. And I haven’t even put on my jacket. Brrr… It’s freezing here.”We were now in Tagaytay with some of the staff and models. The view from the resort we booked was breathtaking—but the cold was absolutely deadly. Seriously deadly! I didn’t even have time to wear my jacket beca

Rei’s POVThat hurts my ego. I expected too much, thinking we're already in a relationship or something. I also a diffferent kind of felt excitement in thinking that she was my girlfriend. But the feeling was so new that I was confused of what it was.My mind goes blank and everything I could think of was all primal and out of control. I pushed her onto the bed and positioned myself above her. Gazing down with a groan, my cock pulses with that shocked expression of hers. Why does it feel like she doesn't want me, when I was drawn to her? I want her all to myself.Gabby's POV“I will surely make you mine. "I didn’t see it coming when he suddenly kissed me. His lips crashed against mine—rough, hungry, stealing the air from my lungs. It wasn’t gentle. It was the kind of kiss that demanded everything.Shock hit me first, then the rush of heat that followed. His mouth moved against mine with a fire that burned through my hesitation. His hand gripped the back of my neck, pulling me closer

Rei’s POVLast night was unforgettable. I was happy, and I wouldn’t even deny it. Gabby moves so much in her sleep — if I weren’t holding her, she might kick me right off the bed. At least she doesn’t protest that I stayed in her room. I also made sure to give her the “respect” I believed I was doing well.She’s already at work, in the horseback riding section that’s also part of Regin’s hotel. I’m still in the room, getting dressed.I’ve been thinking for a while now about how to court her. I’ve never really done that before — I have zero experience when it comes to courting. So, I decided to call Regin, my brother.—Reigan?—“Gin, can I ask you a question?” I said as soon as he picked up.—What’s it about this time?—He sounded irritated. Guess he’s in a bad mood.“What was the name of your last serious girlfriend?” I asked.It took him a while to answer. As far as I know, he only had one serious relationship — but that ended two years ago. And honestly, I know he’s still not over h

“This is where I come when I’m feeling down,” he said in a low tone. I turned to him. His eyes were on the lake now.“Before… this was the only thing that could make me feel at peace,” he continued. I stayed quiet, listening. “But now…” He suddenly looked at me, and our eyes met. My heartbeat quickened, thudding hard in my chest. I waited for him to finish, but he didn’t. He just lowered his gaze and smiled to himself instead.“But now?” I asked curiously.He looked at me again, then quickly averted his gaze. “Now… I found someone who can make me relax just by seeing her face.” He turned to me once more. “You.”It felt like the world stopped spinning. What was this? I’d been asking myself the same question over and over, yet I still couldn’t find the answer. Why was he making my heart race like this? Why did everything else fade the moment he looked at me?I couldn’t say a word after what he said. Reigan… are you serious about that? You’re not just pretending, right? Is this real? Are

Gabby’s POV“I’m sorry…”When he said those words, the pain only cut deeper.Sorry for what, exactly?Because he can’t like me back?Am I really that hard to like?What did you expect, Gabbriel Lane?You’re the only one who feels this way. Just tattoo that in your mind—you’re the only one who cares like this.One-sided feelings. Remember?I know that. I haven’t forgotten that I’m the only one holding on to this.And I’m not numb. I can feel every bit of the painEverything happened too fast, and now it’s all a mess.It’s only now that I’ve truly confirmed it—only now that I’ve realized what I really feel.And only now that I’ve learned… he doesn’t feel the same.If he ever does, it’s probably as fleeting as a wild weed—something that grows without care, and dies just as easily. Damn it.I didn’t respond to what he said and just walked straight to his car.I saw him follow, looking defeated.Why does he look defeated?I’m the one who’s losing my mind here! Does he even have the right t
