Chapter 1

TWO RED LINES.I blinked faster than usual.My heartbeat seemed to join the rhythm while my hands were shaking and sweating. I couldn’t take my eyes off the thing I was holding right now.Damn! This can’t be!Tumingala ako para hindi tuluyang bumagsak ang kanina pa namumuong mga luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko. Sa isip ko, isang masamang panaginip lang ito.“Oh, God!”My own voice pulled me back to the present. I blinked at what I was holding and looked around the room as reality sank in. This was not just a surprise. I was in serious trouble.Parang kanina ay payapa lang akong kumakain ng umagahan nang bigla akong nakaramdam ng pananakit ng tiyan kasabay ng biglaang pagduduwal.Agad akong nagtungo dito sa banyo at kinuha ang isang bagay na kailanman hindi ko inaasahang magagamit ko. Wala akong inaksayang pagkakataon at agad ko itong sinubukan.At ito ang resulta. Now, the bathroom tiles felt cold beneath my bare feet. I stood motionless while the HPT test kit was clutched tightly betw

Chapter 2

Habang naghihintay kay Elisha, naupo ako sa balcony at hinayaang dumampi ang sikat ng araw sa aking balat.For three years, I had devoted myself to building my company, barely noticing how much the world had changed around me.Funny how life worked. I spent years adapting to change, never realizing the biggest change in my life came from that one familiar face who found their way back into my life a month ago…without warning, without mercy.Pinili kong iwan ang nakaraan, pati na ang mga tanong tungkol sa kanya. Matagal ko na ring tinanggap na parte na lang siya ng lumang pahina ng aking buhay.But seeing him again had changed something.Now, I found myself wondering about the years I had missed, the life he had lived without me, and the man he had become while we were apart.I found myself opening a new tab on my phone and typed his name. My fingers trembled with every letter. The search results loaded, and my breath caught.Photos. Headlines. Awards. A version of him the world seeme

Chapter 3

“Good day, Miss Blythe!”Isang masayang bati sa akin ni Kelly.I arrived at my office building right after dropping Elisha off at her place.I returned her smile. “Same to you, Kelly. How’s everything? The VIP client?”“Yes, Miss Blythe. Nasa conference room po siya, naghihintay sa’yo.”Bahagya akong tumango. I had no idea why the client had decided to show up a week before his scheduled appointment, but his insistence had piqued my curiosity.“Wala ba siyang naibigay na portfolio?” tanong ko habang naglalakad kami papasok sa elevator.“Actually, meron po, Miss,” saglit na tumigil si Kelly at inabot sa akin ang isang folder na hawak niya. “Iyan po, binigay niya ‘yan pagkatapos kong kumpirmahin na pupunta ka dito ngayon.”While walking, I scanned the folder.“Luminara Estate…” mahinang banggit ko saka binuklat ang sunod na dokumento.I only glanced at the proposal as I walked, since I was more focused on finding the name of the company or the developer behind this project. I'll study

Chapter 4

That name echoed through the office, making the panic in my chest even harder to calm.His sudden presence felt like a fever dream I had not prepared for.“And he is also the co-owner of Khrell,” Orpheus added.The fuck? Sa lahat ng posibilidad na naisip ko, ni minsan ay hindi sumagi sa isip ko na siya pala ang isa sa mga misteryosong may-ari ng kumpanyang iyon.I stared at him in disbelief. Just moments ago, he had been on my mind, and I had been trying to bury the memories of him deep in my heart, along with what had happened between us a month ago.My thoughts swirled in agitation as the truth finally sank in. Having him here, and standing this close to my world, felt like my secret and I were balancing on a thin line.Inilahad ni Khyfer ang isang kamay niya at ngumisi nang bahagya. Agad kong naramdaman ang mapanuksong dala ng pagngisi niyang iyon. Tumingin ako sa inabot niyang kamay at sa huli ay wala akong nagawa kundi ang bumuntong-hininga at kumurba ng isang pilit na ngiti ba

Chapter 5

Parang nababalot ng makapal na ulap ang isip ko habang unti-unti kong iminulat ang aking mga mata.The ceiling light cast a gentle glow through the blinds, illuminating the room.Nang sinubukan kong gumalaw, hindi agad sumunod ang katawan ko. Para akong nakalubog sa malapot na arnibal.Namamaos akong napadaing nang bigla akong nakaramdam ng matinding kirot sa aking kanang kamay nang sinubukan kong iangat iyon.Doon ko napansing may nakatusok na karayom sa likod ng aking palad, na nakakonekta sa isang manipis na tubong dumadaloy papunta sa suwero. Doon ko napagtanto na nasa ospital ako.Nang sumulyap ako sa gilid, napansin ko ang isang babaeng nasa mid-forties, nakasuot ng puting coat at may hawak na chart habang kausap ang lalaking hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip na nasa harapan ko ngayon.His presence sent a jolt of electricity through me, stirring a dangerous mix of excitement and tension within my chest.Dahan-dahang gumapang ang kamay ko sa aking sinapupunan. Hindi ko maiwasang sisi
