Taylor catches me staring and asks what I am thinking. “You,” I reply. “I am being a worrywart. You have made sure I am going to be fine whilst you are away, but what about you? Who is going to make sure you don’t get attacked by leeches, or eaten by a giant snake, or killed by angry tribesmen…or even eaten by cannibals…Argh, do they even have cannibals in South America?” Taylor bursts out in laughter, tears leaking out of his eyes.

A sweet smile spread across Rey Jhon’s lips after the call ended. How could he not smile? It felt like fate was finally on his side, and victory was already within his hands.

Mount. Capistrano, Sukob waterfalls, Lambanogan at marami pang iba. I couldn't help but be awed with it. I didn't know na marami palang mga spots rito kahit mukhang liblib at maliit lamang ang lugar na'to.

"Nathan, I'm not breaking up with you." I let out a cold laugh. "You can't bear to part with this villa, is that it? Fine. I'll move out. I'll leave immediately." "No!" She denied it at once. Seeing the expression on my face, even her posture seemed to slump. "I'll go. You don't have to leave. But we're not breaking up. Take some time to calm down."

That afternoon, while preparing my paperwork for studying abroad in Ardenia, I noticed that Claire's phone location was once again at that little villa.

Thirty days. One month. A single, heartbeat-stopping wager. Benjamin Parker was the sun. A golden-haired scholarship recruit with flour on his hands and a heart that he wore—vulnerable and beating—on his sleeve. He spent weeks chasing the school’s "Ice Prince," offering handmade tarts and a smile that could melt the coldest winter. He thought his persistence finally paid off when Jonathan Hayes—the obsidian-eyed, terrifyingly beautiful heir to a tech empire—pinned him against the school gates and claimed him in front of everyone. But the "Golden Romance" was a lie from the very first kiss. Jonathan didn't choose Benjamin because of his heart; he chose him because he was a convenient t

"Blasphemy." He smirked. "What's yours?" "Easy. Baby ." He groaned. "Figures." She stuck out her tongue. " What's your favorite color?" Kane hesitated. "Black." She snorted. "That's not a color." His gaze darkened. "It is to me." Mona giggled, shaking her head. "Fine. Black it is."

Trestan explained again and Miss Valdez just nodded. “What are the two novels he wrote?” “Uhm... Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, miss.” “Why did---” Miss Valdez was interrupted by the student who just entered their classroom. Trestan creased his forehead when he recognized that it was Blair. His classmate was simply laughing at her because she entered the wrong room. “Excuse me, miss.” He immediately walked towards her direction and pulled her outside.
