'Teka lang?' Are you sure that's really 'teka lang?" Napayuko na lang siya dahil sa pagalit na natanong ng lalaki. Halatang napipikon na sa kaniya. Inilapit pa nito ang mukha sa kaniya para iparamdam sa kaniya ang inis nito at nagsalita, "Remember, I paid a hefty 10.5 million at the auction just to purchase you. You wouldn't have even set foot in that auction if you hadn't given your consent. So now that you're under my ownership, don't think you can fool me with your usual 'teka lang, sir' tactics kasi kabisado ko na 'yan." Para siyang tinanggalan ng utak na nakatunganga sa pinagsasabi nito na ang tanging naintindihan lang ay ang salitang, 'kabisado ko na 'yan.' Ano naman ang alam niya sa English kasi tulog naman siya lagi sa subject na iyon noong nag-aaral pa siya. Para naman huminahon ito, nagsalita na lang siya. "Ahm...wag ka na magalit sir, maghuhugas lang naman ako. Ayaw mo naman ng mabaho, diba?"

“Be a good girl.” "Then make me, Roigie. Or are you only a commander when I’m already yours?" Roigie is used to being in total control—he’s a Villarreal, it’s in his DNA. When he gives a command like that, he expects absolute submission. He’s using his dominance to mask the fact that he’s actually obsessed with Aria. But Aria? She’s a rebel. She knows that the only thing Rogie wants more than her obedience is her reaction. By challenging him to make her, she’s flipping the script and making him work for the control he craves. Even though they’re at each other's throats, there’s this toxic, possessive energy. Aria is thinking, “If I’m going to be a good girl, it’s only for you”. She hates that she wants him, especially since she’s hiding the pregnancy, but she’d rather be under his command than anywhere near Luigi. While Roigie is busy trying to command her in the bedroom, Luigi is outside waiting to ruin it all. That’s the irony of the love triangle—Roigie is so focused on winning the war inside their marriage that he doesn't see Luigi playing a dirty game with their reputation. Every time Aria submits or fights back, she’s also trying to distract Roigie so he doesn't feel the shapewear or notice her morning sickness. She's playing a lethal game to keep her heart and her secret safe.

Aside from the fear of commitment, she also doesn't want to be with someone she doesn't even love. After all, she is just a woman who never experienced true love before. Months passed when the preparation for her wedding came. She met Easton, a famous fashion designer in the Philippines. As Easton was taking measures for her gown, he accidentally clasped her two little mountains resulting for Aria to act instinctively and greeting him with a powerful uppercut that made his nose bleed with ketchup. There's no doubt that their expected first encounter was a total disaster. The day of her wedding came, and she finally decided to run away before she could even set foot in the sacred church and taint her soul. At that time, all that she could think of was to run and before she knew it, she finally arrived at her desired destination. . . unknowingly at Easton's wounded heart.
