JACOB ALDEGUIRE'S POV "Ano bang sinasabi mo na ayaw mo pa din magpakasal?!" nanggagalaiting asik sa akin ni Mama. "Ang tanda-tanda mo na, Jacob! Kapag ganito lagi mauunahan ka pa ng pamangkin mong mag-asawa!" dugtong niya. Napangiwi ako at hindi na nagsalita. Inaabala ko namang ang sarili sa pagsasalin ng alak, kunwari wala akong naririnig. "Look at your son, Aurelio! Mas pinipili pa na inom kesa maghanap ng babae na mapapangasawa," pagsumbong niya kay papa, at bahagya akong natawa. My father just sat beside her. Held her hands and massage it to calm her down. "Calm down, Sweetheart..." aniya sa kalmadong boses. "Jacob is old enough to decide on her own. At isa pa ay hindi naman karera ang pagpapakasal. Malay mo at may natitipuhan na 'yan, pero hindi pa sinasagot?" banat niya. Exactly! I smirked and took a sip of alcohol from my cup. I leaned my back into the chair I'm sitting in, crossing my arms, watching the two of them. At habang pinagmamasdan sila ay lihim akong nap

ELOWEN GARCIA'S POV I stared at my phone like it was a live wire. I shouldn’t call him. I knew that. Jacob Aldeguire was the last person I should be dragging into my mess. Xavier’s uncle. The man I wasn’t supposed to think about... much less dependent on. Pero sobrang sakit ng pakiramdam ko ngayon. Sobrang bigat at naninikip ang puso ko. Hindi ko kayang tawagan si Xavier, dahil kung gagawin ko iyon ay mas lalo niya lang dadagdagan ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. I laughed under my breath, broken and soundless. If only he knew. If only they all knew what that f*cking privilege... cost me. Gumaan nga ang buhay nila, at sinagip sila ni Xavier. Pero kapalit naman niyon ang pagkawasak ko. My fingers curled around the phone. I wiped my face with the back of my hand, but the tears kept coming anyway. I couldn’t breathe properly. Every inhale felt too shallow, every exhale too heavy. I scrolled through my contacts. And stopped the moment I saw Jacob's name. I stared at h

JACOB ALDEGUIRE’S POV The streetlights blurred past us as I drove, one hand on the wheel, the other clenched tight against my thigh. We were only a few meters away, from her house. I know it because I could recognized the street instantly. And then I saw it. A familiar car parked right in front of the gate. Black. Polished. Out of place in a way that made my jaw tighten. "It's Xavier..." I whispered beneath my breath. My grip on the steering wheel hardened. I slowed down instinctively, eyes flicking back to the house, then to the passenger seat. Elowen was asleep. Her head had tilted slightly toward the window, lashes damp, lips parted just enough to show how shallow her breathing was. There were tear stains on her cheeks that she hadn’t had the strength to wipe away. She looked… wrecked. Like someone who had run out of fight. I stared at her longer than I should have. If I woke her now... If I asked her what she wanted to do.. If I parked this car and l

JACOB ALDEGUIRE’S POV The door to the conference room closed behind me with a muted thud. Finally. The meeting with the board had dragged longer than necessary... numbers, projections, objections I’d already anticipated. I’d won, of course. I always did. But my patience had thinned halfway through, my mind drifting to places it had no business being. To her. I loosened my tie as I walked into my office, shrugging off my tailored suit jacket and tossing it onto the back of my chair. The fabric barely made a sound as it landed. I sat down heavily, leaning back against the swivel chair, one hand coming up to my neck as I tugged the tie loose, air finally filling my lungs properly. Too quiet. I stared up at the ceiling for a brief second.. long enough to replay the image of her asleep in my bed, unaware, vulnerable, safe. When suddenly, sharp vibratios stopped my thoughts. Bumaling ako sa aking cellphone na nakapatong sa ibabaw ng lamesa. At nang mabasa ko ang pangalan

ELOWEN GARCIA’S POV My jaw was still throbbing when his hand finally dropped away. The sudden absence of pressure made my knees feel weak, like my body hadn’t caught up yet to the fact that I could breathe again. I sucked in air quietly, afraid that even the sound of it might set him off. Mula sa akin ay unti-unting umikot si Xavier upang harapin ang babaeng hula ko at nasa 50's.. maganda ito, at habang nakatingin ako sa kanya ay nakikita kong magkahawig silang dalawa ni Jacob. I followed his gaze with my trembling eyes. The woman stood a few steps behind him, posture straight, expression calm but unreadable. There was something about her presence that shifted the air in the room. She didn’t look intimidated. Didn’t look apologetic either. She just looked… unimpressed. “Why,” Xavier asked coldly, his voice dangerously controlled now, “would my fiancée be talking to you, Bawat bigkas niya ng mga salita ay damang-dama ko ang bigat at diin niyon. “Andbsince when,” he continued,
