Winston's POVThe house was very quiet.Unlike the big house, where silence often felt cold and empty, this one had a different kind of peace. The old wooden walls made sounds sometimes as the afternoon wind came through the open windows. Somewhere outside, children were laughing. A rooster made a sound far away, followed by the soft barking of a dog.I sat alone in the small living room, slowly turning the cup of coffee in my hand without thinking.Three-in-one. Still not espresso. She said I might get hurt if I force myself to drink espresso. What the heck!But somehow, it no longer tasted as bad as I remembered. My tongue is adjusting a bit to this coffee. I actually thought I could not drink it."You know, Sir. You do not need to force yourself to drink that if you really cannot."I looked up. Ate Liza just came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of newly sliced mangoes. She was smiling while looking at me. It seems she also knows that I am not used to 3-in-1 coffee.Well, I can

WINSTON POVThe drive back to Manila felt longer than usual. Normally, I welcomed silence during business trips. I even preferred it to be quiet because it gave me time to think, to prepare, and to plan.Today... My thoughts kept drifting somewhere else."Sir?" Benjamin's voice pulled me back."We will arrive at the headquarters in ten minutes."I gave a small nod. "Understood."I moved my eyes toward the window. The view outside had long changed from endless rice fields to tall buildings and heavy traffic.Somehow, the city suddenly felt much colder than I remembered.~The moment I stepped inside Domingo Group Headquarters, everything returned to normal. Workers straightened their backs. Talks stopped. Greetings were heard all over the lobby."Good morning, Sir Winston.""Good morning, Sir.""Welcome back, Sir."I answered them with short nods before going straight to the boss's floor. Nothing had changed. Everything was exactly where it belonged.So why did it suddenly feel... empt

Winston's POVThe next morning began exactly the way every morning had for the past several years. At exactly seven-thirty, I walked into the boss's elevator.At exactly eight, I entered my office. By eight-oh-five, the first set of reports was already waiting on my desk.Nothing had changed. Everything was running on time. Yet for some reason, it no longer felt good."Good morning, Sir." Benjamin entered the office carrying a pile of folders. "Your schedule for today." He placed the tablet in front of me. "Nine o'clock, head meeting. Ten-thirty, signing event. One o'clock, lunch meeting with the investors. Three o'clock, interview with Forbes Asia."I looked through everything before giving the tablet back."Cancel the interview."Benjamin looked surprised. "Sir?""I do not have anything new to say.""Yes, Sir."He made a quick note before quietly leaving my office. The moment the door closed, silence filled the room once again. I reached for the cup of coffee on my desk without thin

The moment I stepped out of the car, I was greeted by the familiar smell of fresh grass and the cool afternoon breeze. It had only been a few days. Yet somehow, returning to the province felt more like coming home than just visiting.Benjamin quietly closed the car door behind me."I will bring your bags inside later, Sir."I gave him a small nod before my attention went back to Windy. She was still standing a few steps away, smiling.It was not the polite smile people gave me in the city. It was not the practiced smile I often saw during business meetings.It was just Windy."I thought you were coming back next week." There was real surprise in her voice."I thought so too."She tilted her head. "Hmm?""The meeting ended earlier than I expected."That was not a complete lie. The meeting had ended. But I could have stayed in Manila. No one asked me to return right away. It was my own choice."Brother Winston!"A familiar little voice suddenly echoed across the road. It was Nica. She c

WINSTON POVI had talked and made deals with the hardest businessmen in Asia. I had faced aggressive business attacks without losing my cool. I stayed calm when rivals tried to make me angry in meetings.But...One talk between Windy and her childhood friend stayed in my mind longer than it should.It did not make sense. And I did not like things that did not make sense.The party went on as the sun slowly hid behind the mountains. Warm lights hung across the street. Children ran after each other under the lights, while adults stayed around long tables, sharing stories and laughs.Benjamin walked up to me quietly."Sir.""Hm?""I already brought your bags inside."I gave a small nod. "Thank you."He paused. "Do you want me to plan our schedule for tomorrow?"I looked at him. "There is no schedule."His eyebrows went up a bit. "None?""We are staying for another day."Benjamin did not get surprised easily. But this time, I saw a small movement at the side of his lips."As you wish, Sir
