"Oh no! The binignit is going to get cold! Let's go, Sis, Bro!" Lira suddenly interjected, seemingly noticing the tension between Raf and Raze."Gosh, that's right!" Love added, having been fidgeting restlessly beside me while shooting me meaningful looks. "I'll just grab some bowls inside. Come with me, Lylia!" I had no choice but to let her pull me into the house, so I brought Raze along too, though he remained silent.Once we were fully inside, Raze let go of me, which puzzled me. "W-Where are you going?" I asked."I'll just be at the back of the house," he informed me and immediately headed out.Love and I exchanged looks before she rolled her eyes at me. "Uh oh. Looks like he’s sulking. It's your fault."I frowned. "Why me? I didn't do anything."She shook her head and looked at me again. "Are you sure, Lyl? Go back and think about what you said earlier, go ahead," she challenged. "Really nothing?"I fell silent. "I-I just complimented Raf. And that’s normal."She scoffed. "Norma

"Idiot! Don't open it! What is that woman doing here? Did you call her?" Raze exclaimed. Even though he was drunk, he seemed to snap awake the moment he saw her.I faced him. "I have no idea. Maybe she caught your scent and knew you were hiding here?" I replied with a shrug."Bastard! You're making her sound like a dog. She has a strong sense of smell, huh?" the idiot said, laughing. "Just don't open it. She’s not the one I want to see. It’s my wife, Lylia." He really emphasized the name."Don't you want your mistress? She made you happy once," I said casually, shooting him a glare when he smacked the back of my head. "If my brain rattles and I turn into an idiot, I'm stealing your wife.""Crazy! What mistress are you talking about? She's just my ex-fiancée, no feelings attached. Besides, it’s Razen she’s always making out with, not me, you fool. Turn off the screen. Sheila’s face is terrifying." He turned his back, hands in his pockets, and started kicking the bottles on the floor.L

More than a month had passed since Raze cut off all communication with Lylia’s family.Lylia felt that everything between them was over, so despite the immense difficulty, she tried to move on and forced herself to bury her feelings for him.Every day she was haunted by nightmares, waking up with tears and a tightening chest, hoping Raze would return, only to be disappointed.No matter how hard she tried to push away the thought that Raze was gone, that he was married to someone else and had abandoned her, she couldn't do it.She still loves him despite everything. She's still waiting for him to come back.Memories of the time they spent and shared together kept rushing back, those sweet nights of cuddling, talking, and all the things that made them so lovey-dovey now shatter her heart into pieces.Whenever she gazed at the mansion from their small house, she couldn't help but get emotional. Even though it had seemingly become a haunted mansion because the residents and caretakers wer

LYLIA'S POVI tightened my grip on the broom, and I nearly forgot how to breathe when he pressed himself against me. I couldn't even blink because of how intently he was staring at me. It was becoming uncomfortable.I tried to take a step away from him, but he quickly caught my waist.“Just answer me, Lyl. What is it about that but that you can’t answer?” I couldn’t help but gulp at his question.How was I supposed to answer properly when he was this close? I was becoming self-conscious about my breath. Plus, he was intimidating me, his entire presence was overwhelming.“C-Could you back away for a second? I-I can’t breathe properly,” I said without thinking, causing his eyes to narrow before he let out a soft laugh. “W-Why?”His gaze softened as he stroked my cheek. “Are you feeling shy?”I looked away. “As if you even have to ask,” I replied crossly.“Why, Lyl? Is my stare making you weak?” he asked huskily. “Did I make your heart stop beating?” I could sense he was teasing me, so I

"Hey, why are you staring into space? Are you and Kuya Raze okay now? He was smiling when he went inside," Razen said, draping an arm over my shoulder."I-I don't know," I stuttered, shaking my head slightly to dismiss Raze's earlier comment from my mind."Ah-huh?" I looked away as he tried to peer into my face. "Hey, you’re blushing. What did you two talk about? Now I’m curious.""N-Nothing. I’m going to work now." I removed his arm from my shoulder and looked for the broom Raze had tossed earlier."Has he told you yet?"I froze and looked back at him. "Told me what?"This was exactly what I wanted to know, the thing that had been bothering me. I couldn't bring myself to ask Raze because I felt shy, we weren't exactly on stable ground yet."Oh, not yet? Hm, I guess he should be the one to tell you. I don't want to get ahead of him. Maybe when your relationship is stable again," Razen said, approaching me with his hands in his pockets as he aimlessly kicked at the dry leaves."Hey, do
