“Please, Mr. Kaiden, this is enough,” I begged, forcing my voice and face to look weak, almost tearful. “I’m not done.” I stared at him in disbelief. This man was insane. What more did he want than this? One kiss was not a big deal, but what we were doing was still betrayal. On both sides. “Both of us? You and I are cheating…” He cut me off, rolling his eyes with boredom. “It doesn’t matter who gets hurt as long as we both enjoy what we’re doing. When you’re with me, don’t think about anyone else.” “That’s not easy for someone getting married in two months.” “And what about someone who got married a month ago?” After I said that, he spoke words that hit me like lightning. “Married a month ago.” “A month and a half, to be more precise.” Damn it. I wish I had even a little of his cold calm. “It was like the first day of my honeymoon was yours. I played for you that day.” I froze. “Do you mean you left your wife sleeping on the very first day of your honeymoon… and went out to play music for a girl on the beach?” “Exactly.” ************************×************************ Tara Blackwood never thought her quiet life would turn upside down because of one man.

Si Arkin Andres, isang batang bilyonaryo, ay malapit nang ikasal sa babaeng pinakamamahal niya, si Zandreah Binonzo—isang elegante at napakagandang babae na hinahangaan ng lahat. Ang kanilang kasal ay itinakdang magbuklod sa dalawang makapangyarihang pamilya, ngunit isang buwan bago ang seremonya, natuklasan ni Arkin ang pagtataksil ni Zandreah. Sa isang pribadong beach sa Pilar, nasaksihan ni Arkin ang masayang pagtitinginan nina Zandreah at ng isang lalaking hindi niya kilala. Ang tagpong iyon ay winasak ang kanyang puso. Galit at sugatan, nagpasyang ipatigil ni Arkin ang kasal, ngunit tinutulan ito ng kanyang ama. Para sa pamilya, ang kasal ay hindi lamang tungkol sa pag-ibig—ito ay isang selyo ng kapangyarihan at karangalan. Sa desperasyon ng kanyang ama na mapanatili ang plano, kinuha nila si Yunifer Alcalde—isang bagong graduate ng fine arts na baon sa utang—upang pansamantalang ilihis ang atensyon ni Arkin. Bagamat nag-aalangan, tinanggap ni Yunifer ang kakaibang alok kapalit ng malaking bayad, kahit alam niyang si Arkin ay kilala bilang malamig, arogante, at malupit. Akala ni Yunifer, madali lang sundin ang mga utos ni Arkin at tiisin ang kanyang ugali. Ngunit habang magkasama sila, hindi niya inaasahang mas mahirap ito kaysa sa kanyang iniisip. Unti-unting nabuo ang tensyon sa pagitan nila, at ang damdamin ni Arkin para kay Yunifer ay naging mas matindi at makapangyarihan. Tatanggapin ba ni Yunifer ang baluktot na pagmamahal ni Arkin, o pipiliin niyang tumakas bago pa tuluyang maging huli ang lahat?

The admissions office calls and says my daughter's admission fee has been paid, asking when I'll come to handle enrollment. I'm completely stunned. My daughter, Natalie Steward, is top of her class. She's already guaranteed a spot in the city's best high school, Dream High School, with no admission fee required. Upon questioning my husband, Arnold Lewiston, he claims the admissions office must've made a mistake. He says, "I just wanted to surprise you, so I pulled some strings with the principal to get her into the accelerated track. You should talk to the teachers and make sure we get the best homeroom teacher so I can look good." As soon as I end the call, I slam the accelerator and head straight to the admissions office. On my way there, I call Lynn Warrens, my best friend who works in the State Department of Education. "Help me check under whose name Arnold paid the admission fee for his illegitimate child. I'm going to withdraw them from the school!" I say.
