Eight years later and staying away still feels like driving a sword through my chest.

Akala ni Alexia simple lang ang buhay niya chismosa sa umaga, barista sa hapon, at certified marites sa gabi. Pero isang araw, sa kalagitnaan ng kanyang “tampo moment” sa Jollibee, biglang nagpakita ang isang lalaking naka-three-piece suit, may hawak na kontrata… at may sinasabing siya raw ang legal na tagapag-alaga niya? Siya si Julian Alarcon. Billionaryo. CEO. Cold-hearted. At oo ang Ninong niyang matagal nang nawawala sa eksena. Pero teka, bakit parang hindi pang-Ninong ang mga titig niya? Bakit parang may sariling buhay ang mga kilig sa katawan ni Alexia? At bakit siya sinusundo ng limousine papunta sa isang mansyon kung saan ayaw siya pakawalan ng gwapong “Ninong” na ito? Ang problema? Makulit si Alexia, madaldal, at walang preno sa bunganga. Pero si Julian… sanay sa katahimikan, respeto, at walang ka-cheapan sa paligid. So anong mangyayari kapag ang isang pabibo at makulit na babae ay pinilit tumira sa mundo ng sosyal, tahimik, at super serious? Isa lang ang malinaw si Alexia ang babaeng kayang pasabugin ang mundo ng isang lalaking sanay sa kontrol. At si Julian? Baka siya pa ang unang mapusasan ng kilig.

My younger sister, Sophia Ashford, got pregnant before marriage. To protect her reputation before marrying into a wealthy family, she abandoned the baby at our doorstep after giving birth. Our parents, Owen and Julia Ashford, begged me to adopt the child, Tom Ashford. Seeing how pitiful he was, I agreed. Raising Tom consumed nearly all my time and energy. I lost my original job and ended up washing dishes and carrying trays, juggling three jobs on my own just to survive. When Tom grew up and was accepted into a top university, Sophia suddenly returned, crying and accusing me of stealing her child. She had successfully married into a wealthy family and lived happily with her CEO husband, Sebastian Langford, for years. Now, she wanted Tom, who had already grown into someone accomplished, back. "She was the one who stole my baby! I finally found you, my precious child! Your CEO father is rewarding you with a million dollars for getting into university. Work hard and inherit the family business in the future!" Just like that, the son I had raised for over a decade threw himself into her arms without hesitation and cut off all ties with me. The situation spiraled out of control. Our parents were ashamed of me and kicked me out of the house. To prove my innocence, I drove to the police station to retrieve surveillance footage from back then, but I died in a car accident on the way. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I discovered the abandoned baby. This time, I didn’t hesitate. I called the police immediately.

End of the year. I was gonna use my bonus to treat Mom to a quick getaway. Instead? No bonus. Four hundred bucks sliced off my paycheck. I shot the HR supervisor a notice—three days to pay up. She laughed. Called me dramatic. Fired me right then. Coworkers backed her. Said I brought it on myself. Said I didn't care about the company. What they didn't see? I laughed the second I got that termination letter. Double severance? Come to mama.

My mother-in-law and I were traveling together. We'd just checked into the Solenne Hotel in Rivera City and decided to hit the pool. Then this woman—dressed like money and attitude—pinched her nose like we stank. "This is a luxury hotel. How did you people even get in? Sneak in just for the pool? Ugh, I need a test after this." Buzzkill. I snapped, "It's a hotel pool. Guests swim. If that's a problem, go build your own." Her face twisted. "Excuse me? Do you even know who I am? My husband owns this place. We always stay in the top suite. So get out. You reek of broke. You're contaminating the water." Georgina and I traded a look. Ice cold. This was her son's hotel. My husband's. Since when did he come with a second wife?
