THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED

The city skyline outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of Timothy Lancaster’s office was already painted in deep shades of orange and violet, signaling the end of another long day. But inside these four walls, time seemed to have stopped. The air was still, thick with a silence that felt heavier than usual, charged with something unspoken that had been building up for weeks—maybe even years.Nakaupo ako sa tapat niya sa kanyang mesa na gawa sa mahogany. Ang aking mga daliri ay nanginginig habang mahigpit na hawak ang folder na ibibigay ko sa kanya. Ang tibok ng puso ko ay parang ibong nakakulong sa hawla, mabilis at magulo. Ganyan palagi tuwing magkasama kaming dalawa. Ang bawat paghinga ay parang isang luho na kailangan kong paghirapan. Ang bawat tingin niya ay parang apoy na dumadampi sa aking balat. Timothy Lancaster. Thirty-two years old. CEO of Lancaster Corporation. One of the most powerful men in the country. And my boss. And he was married. Married to Sofia Velez, in a union

FORBIDDEN DESIRE

His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me flush against him, and before I could even gasp, his lips were on mine. It wasn’t gentle, not at first. It was desperate, hungry, like a man who had been wandering in the desert for years and had finally found water. It was all the words he couldn’t say, all the feelings he had buried deep inside, crashing to the surface all at once. I melted against him, my hands fisting in the fabric of his suit jacket, kissing him back with everything I had kept locked away for three years. Every quiet night, every stolen glance, every sigh I had swallowed—they all poured into that kiss. It was wrong. It was forbidden. He was another woman’s husband. But in that moment, nothing else existed. Not the world outside. Not the scandal waiting to happen. Not the consequences that would inevitably follow. Just him. Just us. Dahan-dahan niya akong inilayo hanggang sa mapasandal ang likod ko sa mesa. Ang mga papel ay nahulog sa sahig, ang ingay ay halos hindi k

THE COST OF LOVE

She gave me a cold, assessing look before turning her gaze to Timothy."Why was the door closed?" she asked, her tone laced with suspicion. "And why do you both look as though you were in such a hurry?"Tumayo ako nang tuwid, pinipilit na maging propesyonal kahit na ang tuhod ko ay nanginginig. "I will be heading back to my desk now, Sir, Madam Lancaster," I said, my voice barely audible.But before I could take a step, Timothy spoke. "Stay, Ysha. We haven't finished discussing the project."Nagulat ako. Bakit ayaw niya akong paalisin? Hindi ba niya alam na lalong maghihinala sa amin si Ma'am Sofia?Sofia walked toward the desk, her eyes never leaving mine. "Discussing a project until this late hour?" Every word felt like a dagger. "Or were you discussing something else entirely?""Sofia," Timothy said firmly. "Don't be ridiculous. This is work.""Work," she repeated, unconvinced. She moved closer to him, and right before my eyes, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek,

THE GOLD TURN TO DUST

The next morning, I arrived at the office early. I left my resignation letter on his desk. No title. Not many words.Timothy,I'm sorry that I have to leave. I love you, which is exactly why I have to set you free. Perhaps one day, in another time, under different circumstances... we can be together without hiding.Goodbye.Ysha Nang makababa ako ng gusali, huminto ako sandali at tumingin sa kanyang bintana. Ang bintanang naging saksi sa pag-ibig na hindi namin pwedeng ipagmalaki. Pinunasan ko ang aking luha at tumalikod. Ngunit hindi pa ako nakakalayo nang marinig ko ang mabilis na mga yabag sa likuran ko. "Ysha!"His voice. Breathless. Filled with panic. Lumingon ako at nakita ko siyang tumatakbo palapit sa akin. Magulo ang buhok, walang suot na amerikana, ang mukha ay namumutla. Nang makarating siya sa harap ko, hinawakan niya ang magkabila kong balikat, parang takot na takot siya na baka maglaho ako kung bibitaw siya. "What does this mean?" his voice shook as he held up my le

THE PRICE OF CHOOSING

"You are making a fool of yourself, Timothy," his father said, his voice cold and authoritative. "End this. Send her away. Apologize to Sofia. And we will pretend none of this ever happened." Timothy stood in front of me, shielding me from their gaze. "I will not send her away. Not for any of you. Not for any amount of money." "Nababaliw ka na ba?!" sigaw ng isang matandang lalaki, namumula ang mukha. "Guguho ang ating mga negosyo! Babagsak ang mga presyo ng salapi! Isinasapalaran mo ang lahat ng ating naipundar para sa isang babaeng nagtatrabaho lamang sa iyo!" "Let him lose," her father spat out. "If he wants to throw away his legacy for a nobody, let him. But do not expect us to stand by and watch. You are on your own, Timothy. From this moment, you are cut off." "Dad—" "I said cut off!" sigaw ng matanda. "Gusto mong maging karaniwang tao? Mabuhay ka nang ganyan. Tingnan ko nalang kung masuportahan mo siya kapag na-freeze na ang iyong mga bangko at wala nang halaga ang iyong p
