PENINSULA MANILA - GRAND BALLROOM: 18 SHOTS & GIFTSThe grand chandeliers sparkled above the crowd, casting golden pools of light over every polished surface. The soft murmur of voices, clinking glasses, and the string orchestra's gentle notes filled the ballroom, yet all attention remained on the debutante. Tonight, Psyche Azalea Ellison was not just the center of the room-she was the atmosphere, the heartbeat of the event.The emcee's voice cut through the hum, brimming with excitement."Next, ladies and gentlemen, is the 18 shots for our debutante, Miss Psyche Azalea Ellison! Pero tonight, may twist tayo-instead of Psyche drinking, ang mga gentlemen ang iinom para sa kanya!"Applause erupted, half-cheering, half-laughing. All eyes immediately shifted toward Psyche and her guardians, her friends cheering her on from their seats. At her side, Harrison stood tall, unyielding, the very picture of composure. His sharp eyes scanned the room, lingering on one figure more than any other-Br

MANILA PENINSULA HOTEL - PARKING AREA Lumabas si Brent, medyo hilo na sa alak pero malinaw pa rin ang inis at tensyon sa mukha niya. The cold night air did nothing to cool his temper. Habang naglalakad siya papunta sa kanyang kotse, narinig niya ang mabigat na yabag sa likuran."What's the matter with you, Madrigal?" malamig na boses ni Harrison, humahabol sa kanya.Huminto si Brent at napailing, bago dahan-dahang humarap dito. His eyes were sharp, defiant."What's the matter with you, Ellison?" balik niya. "I like Psyche... no- I love her! So why are you always against it?"Kita sa mukha ni Harrison ang pagpipigil. His fists were clenched at his sides."She's my sister, Brent. I don't want her to get hurt - especially by someone like you... a womanizer."Napatawa si Brent, mapait."I'm not that kind of man. Not when it comes to her." Humakbang siya palapit. "Since I was young, I grew fond of Psyche. I tried to ignore it, but the more I did, the deeper I fell. Then here you are again

BGC • ELITE FINE DINING RESTAURANT • SAME NIGHTSoft jazz played in the background, the kind na dapat relaxing—but the tension in the air was anything but.AT PSYCHE & BRENT’S TABLEPsyche tried to enjoy her dinner.The food was perfect.The ambiance was perfect.Brent was… trying to be perfect.Pero may kakaiba siyang nararamdaman.Parang may mabigat na presensyang nakasunod sa kanya.“Are you cold?” Brent asked, offering his blazer.“No, I’m fine,” she smiled. “I think I’m just… overwhelmed.”“By the food?” he teased.“By everything,” she admitted.---THE DOOR OPENS — HARRISON ARRIVESHarrison walked in—tall, calm, and dangerously composed in his black suit.Heads turned.He always had that effect.But his eyes…They went straight to her.Automatic. Uncontrollable.And when he saw Psyche laughing softly with Brent?His jaw clenched.Just once.But enough.Immediately, he masked it—slipping into his usual CEO composure.A few businessmen stood to greet him.“Mr. Ellison, good eveni

ISANG FINE RESTAURANT…Maaliwalas at elegante ang ambiance ng fine-dining restaurant—mahina ang classical music, crystal chandeliers, at stainless cutlery na kumikislap sa ilalim ng soft lighting.Papasok pa lang sina Harrison, Lander, at Ichiro, ramdam na agad ang presence nila. Well-dressed, commanding, and obviously influential. Napatingin ang ilang tao sa kanila—hindi mo kasi ma-miss ang aura ng power sa grupo.Pero agad na napawi ang composed expression ni Harrison nang mapansin niya si Brent sa kabilang side ng restaurant—relaxed, confident, at may ka-meeting din. Their eyes locked… and the atmosphere instantly thickened.Brent smirked slightly, raising his glass in a slow, almost mocking gesture.“Should I say… it’s nice to see you here?” wika niya, nakangiting parang may alam.Hindi gumanti nang ngiti si Harrison. His jaw clenched, eyes sharp—cold as ice. Marunong siyang magtimpi, but Brent was the one person who could ignite his temper with minimal effort.Bago pa man sumabog

ELLISON MANSION – PSYCHE’S ROOMPsyche was still pacing inside her room, heart pounding from frustration, from anger… from confusion. Every movement she made seemed loud in the quiet of the mansion. She sank into the bed, trying to calm herself, but the door suddenly clicked open.Harrison.His presence filled the doorway before she could even react. Tall, intimidating, yet impossibly composed. He didn’t knock. He didn’t announce himself. He just… appeared.Psyche froze, her breath catching.“Harrison…?” her voice trembled, half-angry, half-relieved.He stepped inside slowly, deliberate, his eyes locked onto hers. Every step seemed to shrink the room, every glance a silent claim.“Azalea, stop pretending you don’t care.” His voice was low, dangerous, yet soft enough to make her pulse race.“I… I’m not pretending!” she blurted, standing abruptly, trying to create distance, but there wasn’t any. He was everywhere in her line of sight.Harrison raised an eyebrow, amused and frustrated at
