ELOWEN GARCIA’S POV Hindi ko inaasahan na ganito pala talaga ka laki ang kumpanya na pinamumunuan ni Jacob. Nasa harapan ako at pinagkatitigan ang kabuuan ng gusali. Bahagyang nakatingala habang pinagmamasdan ang matayog na estrukturang tila humahamon sa langit. The glass exterior reflected the afternoon sun, blinding and imposing. Powerful.... Just like him. Humigpit ang kapit ko sa bag na dala ko bago ako tuluyang humakbang papasok sa loob ng building. Pagpasok ko ay agad akong sinalubong ng malamig na hangin mula sa centralized air conditioning. The lobby was vast. Marble floors. High ceilings. Clean lines. Everything looked expensive. Everything looked controlled. Parang ang mismong gusali ay sumasalamin sa pagkatao ni Jacob. Tahimik at masyadong organize. Lumapit ako sa reception desk, ngunit bago pa man ako makapagsalita... upang itanong sa babaeng naroon kung nasaan ng opisina ni Jacob ay biglang may tumawag sa akin mula sa likuran. “Ms. Garcia.."Mabilis akong luming

JACOB ALDEGUIRE'S POVAkala ko ay gagaalaw siya, magrereklamo at magpupumulit na umalis sa pagkakakandong sa akin. Pero hindi niya iyon ginawa. Mas naging kalmado lang siya sa posisyon naking iyon. At kahit kaonting pagkakailang mula ay wala akong nararamdaman, hindi gaya noong unang beses na ginawa ko ito sa kanya. She even rested her head against my chest, and her cheek pressed lightly against the fabric of my suit. And I felt it. Her warmth and how much she trusted me. And I felt that quiet surrender she gave only to me. My arm wrapped securely around her waist, holding her in place, while my other hand moved to her hair. I began to caress it slowly. Gently. Running my fingers through the soft strands, memorizing the texture, the weight, the way it slipped between my fingers. She didn’t speak. Neither did I. But silence had never felt this full. I could feel her breathing against me. I lowered my chin slightly, letting it rest against the top of her head. My hand con

ELOWEN GARCIA'S POV He was surveying the room.. calm, confident, in control way. But when his gaze landed on me again, I felt it. That same intensity from before, the kind that made me feel like I was the only person in the room. I instinctively straightened my posture at the table, trying to appear composed. My heart was beating so fast. My fingers fidgeted with the edge of my clutch as I told myself: Act normal. Nobody can see anything. Jacob didn’t make a scene. He didn’t call out my name or draw attention. Instead, he moved as if he belonged here, he nodded politely at a few guests, offered a quick smile that was charming without being showy, and then finally, subtly, he began heading in my direction.H'wag niyang sabihin na dito siya u-upo sa tabi ko?" tanong sa isipan ko. Bagay na hindi dapat mangyari dahil sobrang dami ng mga matang nakatutok sa kanya ngayon.. Nang muli akong sumilip sa direksyon niya ay naglalakad pa din siya patungo sa direksyon ko. Pero biglang lumapit

ELOWEN GARCIA'S POV Tahimik ang hallway. Tanging ang mahina naming paghinga ang naririnig ko. Naramdaman ang pagluwag ng dibdib ko. Nawawala na ang inis. Napapalitan ng kung anong hindi ko maipaliwanag.Slowly, I lifted my eyes to him. And that was when I noticed it again. His hair. Maikli. Malinis. Ibang-iba sa Jacob na nakasanayan ko. Bahagyang kumunot ang aking noo at nagsalita. Dahil gusto kong malaman ang dahilan at bakit kanailangan na putulin niya ang kan'yang buhok. “…Why did you cut your hair?” Napakurap siya. Parang hindi niya inaasahan ang tanong ko. His hand unconsciously moved up, brushing the side of his head. “This?” he asked casually. Tumango ako. Pinagmasdan niya ako nang mabuti. His eyes searched my face carefully. Then he asked quietly, “…You don’t like it?” There was something almost… cautious in his voice. Parang mahalaga sa kanya ang sagot ko. I blinked. “Hindi ko sinabi na hindi ko gusto,” sagot ko agad, dahil parang kinakabahan siya habang n

JACOB ALDEGUIRE’S POV I was in the middle of reviewing acquisition documents when Luis entered my office without knocking. He never does that. Which meant something was wrong. “CPI Holdings and Infrastructure,” he said immediately. “We have a situation.” I didn’t look up at first. “Handle it,” I replied calmly. “That’s why I hired you.” But he didn't move. “Five international investors withdrew this morning," biglang dugtong nito at doon ay bahagya umangat ang ulo ko. “Withdrawn?” I repeated flatly. He nodded. “Cut ties. Effective immediately.” I leaned back in my chair. Annoying. But not fatal. Investors panic all the time. And I can replace them right away. “We’ll replace them,” I said coldly. “Issue a clarification statement.” Luis hesitated. And that hesitation caught my attention. Dahil hindi naman niya iyon ginagawa kapag nag-uusap kami ng tungkol sa mga ganitong pangyayari. “What?” I asked. He exhaled slowly. “They pulled out because of a report presented to
