"Our family does not support Aira's dreams they want her to study how to run a business. By them not supporting her and as such, I will no longer support them," Storm said. "I love my wife and I will do everything I can to show her how much I love her, and if it means I have to fight my parents, I will," Storm added sounding so determined.

They asked a few more questions, and then the audience had the opportunity to ask them questions.

“When the news got leaked, there was no sign of you two. Where were you two?"

Aira smiled. "I’m on my honeymoon. We’re in Palawan and going to Siargao before we have to come back to work. For now, honeymooning locally."

"I'm sorry you had to deal with this."

"It's all work, right?" Storm said.

"We can all handle work."

The interview went on for a few more minutes, and as they neared the end, Aira rested her head on her husband's arm.

"She really loves him."

Storm left Aira in her apartment and put some security around her building to keep her s

    Storm saw Kem as if he had been accosted out of the airport. "I just want to say I've seen the news and it's all bullshit. Aira is with Storm. I've seen them together and they're a beautiful couple together. Shamia, she's with Aira during taping, filming, gigs, and all. The women together, they were two hard-working women."Reporters kept asking him what he was doing and where he was going.Storm paused when he saw Sham put the cupcake to her mouth. "I was chasing my woman in Palawan. Sham, if you're watching this, stop running from me. I'm just going to keep hunting you."Sham turned off the remote and stared at the two of them. "Did you two just see that?" "I saw it, and I have to say, dear, you've got to give him a chance," Aira said."He must be annoying, isn't he?" Sham asked. "Now he's gone and telling the world what he's going to do.""You might as well let him catch you." Storm saw the uncertainty in Sham's eyes. He understands her nerves. ***Later that night, he lay on t

    When they slept together, she was twenty-five, but still innocent and cut off from the world by her overprotective parents and siblings; Attended school in my mother's province and college in a rural area. Now she is older and wiser. Her teenage crush on Victor was a long time ago, so her body's reaction is both unexpected and unwelcome. Hundreds of tiny muscles in his face move when he feels something, his dark gray eyes turn almost black when he's angry, and turn almost gray when he laughs. Gray, which has always fascinated her. In the heat of passion, he closed his eyes, long eyelashes fluttering over his tanned cheeks, his lips parted... "Maybe it was a mistake." The past few years have taken their toll on Amy. She's emotionally hurt and battered, and even though she's putting up a last-ditch fight right now, she's not sure she's ready for how he'll feel if he rejects her, or adopt her plan!

    "Not for several months." There was guilt in his voice "He is losing weight. He's tired all the time. It's so unlike him." Her voice cracked as she forced herself to admit something she'd known for a while. "I don't think he has a long time left. I'm scared, I remember what happened to Carlos." The words were whispered. Victor frowned thoughtfully. "You think? Or do you know?"Her eyes met his, her lower lip trembling. "I know," she whispered, then stood up and walked to the window on wobbly knees. "He didn't say anything, but all I could say was. He kept talking about Carlos and our father, about how to take care of him." She held up a finger and rushed before tears spilled. He told himself she wouldn't do that! Not here, not in front of this man; not because of how he treated him, us.Her nerves tightened. "If there's anyone else I can ask," she said slowly. "You have to understand that I've looked at this from every angle." "Do you need help for your brother?" "No, yes." She

    The sound of a needle falling to the ground would echo through the silent room. "Just to clarify—is this a joke?" "No. Of course not." Her pretty lips formed a perfect Cupid's bow as she grimaced, and her eyes flicked past him, as they had so often during this brief meeting. He can't say what he's been expecting, but it's definitely not this."So you came to my office to propose to me? A marriage proposal huh?" he asked, puzzled by the anger burning deep within him. He hadn't seen Amelia in years—she wasn't supposed to still be able to elicit that reaction in him—but there was no question that she had sent his senses into overdrive from the moment she arrived. Slow electricity ran through his veins like he had that night with her.Sleeping with her was a mistake he regrets up to this day, almost as much as the cruel thing he said to her later. But the truth is, he would have said anything at that moment to stop what had happened. If he could take it back that night, he wouldn't do

    He straightened up, arms folded over his broad chest, noticing the way her eyes absorbed the gesture, falling and resting on his midsection before she reluctantly lifted them back to his face. "If I agree to this, you may not like my terms." "If" was better than what she had come here to expect. In the back of her mind, she was almost certain that his answer would be no, so it showed how hopeless Amelia was that she had even been through this."If" is the beginning of the negotiation. Her insides squeezed with a mixture of adrenaline and anxiety. "I want to hear that," she said tremblingly. He took two steps toward her, closing the distance, and knocking her nerves aside. Her heart stuttered in her chest, and despite the fact that she was no longer an inexperienced, sheltered traditional 25-year-old girl, there was a moment when she did feel like a 25-year-old.She held her breath when he came to her, his breath dangerously addictive, so she took a deep breath before she couldn't

    "It was a mistake," he nodded in agreement. "That's not to say it's also not pleasant." She flinched. Dom's criticism came at her. She looked away, her lips pressed together. "I was there, remember? You didn't look like a guy who liked what we did." His expression didn't change. "I regret sleeping with you because of who you are. It's not about sex itself.""I think it's 'bad'?" He frowned. "Yes." Her laugh was suppressed. "Cute. Thanks." Just what she needed! "The fact that we slept together sucked. You're Carlos' little cousin, treat you like his real little sister. H-how do you think I'll react?"Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat. For years, she believed his insults were a reflection of the experience rather than her surroundings. "I betrayed him. How can I have fun with it?""What now?" she pressed. "You don't seem to have that reservation anymore.""You're wrong," he responded, flaring his nostrils and exhaling. "But I’m also a realist. If I marry you it will be t

    Her smile is hollow and her stomach is in knots. "It's not that simple," she whispered, walking to the window and resting her overheated forehead against the thickened glass. Her throat was dry and her head hurt. "My family has lost so much. After Carlos, they were never the same again. I know I can't replace him.""What does that mean?" His tone was sharp and close. She didn't move. Sadness hung over her, as fresh as that day many years ago."I don't like them," she said softly. "My mom, dad, Lance, Carlos. They were all cut from the same fabric. I was the cuckoo in the nest, a mystery. They never got me. Marrying Dom was supposed to be—." Shaking her head, she didn't want to discuss her ex husband at that time, nor did she want to discuss the reasons for her too reckless engagement."I didn't mean to add to their grief, but I did.

    Clara clear all doubts and misunderstandings!"Where are you going?" Jacob asked big-sister Clara."This is just an in-flight visit to clear up misunderstandings. I will come back to see Castiglio next time. By the way, Mira—"Mira raised her head nervously. Clara laughed again. "Your brother managed to convince his mother not to sell the family painting with the house. I'm glad to see them hanging where they belong."***"Clara can run in circles," Mira muttered as the limousine disappeared from view. "She was mopping the floors with us." Still in shock, she started back indoors. Then it dawned on her: Clara knew everything. There's no need to pretend anymore, and there's no need to wait for a divorce any longer. Suddenly, Mira's lower limbs struggled limply through the swamp like toothpicks. Clara removes the artificial boundaries formed by their relationship. They are running out of time. "How can you tell her our marriage is fake?" Jacob angrily condemned. "Do you really thin

    Mira took a step back, frustrated by the bodyguard's barely concealed hostility. He hesitated, apparently determined not to insult Jacob for his assistance during her stay. From the door, she glanced back."Things are not what you think." She said helplessly. "I shouldn't be thinking about anything, Mrs. Delrama." But there was accusation about him, his usual quiet friendliness chilled by what she believed to be a fiercely defensive loyalty to Jacob.It's only when Jacob is in this situation that he realizes that Jacob is too damn manly and proud to want her around him, which prompts Mira to go back to her room. She lay in bed and watched the dawn break. He was really upset, he must have been drunk. Mira tried very hard to understand. Hadn't she herself betrayed Dimitri's trust in the same way? She agreed to marry Jacob only under duress,If she had known what their fate would be in the morning after the ceremony, she would have run a thousand miles. Jacob wasn't trying to disinher

    "I don't hate anyone." But Mira is still ashamed because she remembers her resentment against his legal family reaching explosive proportions before her brother's death, only that was when she met Jacob and Clara and before she let herself face reality."Dimitri doesn't love anyone," she pointed out sternly. "He never stopped loving Clara. Even if he knew about me, I think Clara knows this and that's why she never gives him a choice." "You didn't give me a choice either," Jacob reprimanded bitterly. "You let me continue to think that you slept with Dimitri. Even though you know this belief breaks my heart, you keep me believing it!""I keep telling you we're not lovers, but I know it's pointless! The only possible explanation for Dimitri's will is the one I've come up with." Jacob's eagle-like profile was frozen with suppressed emotion, and he gave her a sharp look."But I must admit that I cruelly and cynically misjudged Dimitri and did everything in my power to shirk the responsibi

    But not just in the moment when she revels in the fact that he can't take his eyes off her. Mira was awakened by the thunderous slam of the door. She blinked confusedly in the light and stood up against the pillows, looking vaguely at Jacob, standing at the foot of the bed, shirtless except for a pair of faded skinny jeans hanging down over his thin hips. There was a gentle smile on her lips. He looks so magnificent, he always looks so magnificent,She could even forgive him for accidentally waking her out of a deep sleep for the first time in days. Vicious black eyes stared at her fiercely. Mira froze in amazement, her smile gone, her abdominal muscles tensing. Waves of seething tension emanated from Jacob. "What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice."I'm hungry. I got up to get something to eat and on the way down I started wondering what was so important about these documents that my lawyer felt the need to fly over and put them in my hands himself and if they were worth that much.

    Raw triumph flashed in his glistening eyes. He ran slowly, looking for his fingers in the pouty mound he had bared for fun. As his thumb brushed the stiff pink bud approaching him, she gasped and stood up against him, every nerve ending in her body screaming in response. He pushed her to the ground with passionate kisses. She kissed him back with desperate urgency, everything she had suppressed for so long.Endless days suddenly betrayed her in a possessive storm. Her hands ran over his body, smoothing the warm golden skin that encased the whiplash muscles, and she let out a hungry moan of impatience. "You're always in a hurry—" Mira writhed and squirmed, on fire wanting him, without a semblance of self-control, not even remembering. Her fingers gripped his thick, silky black hair, and she moved her legs in an invitation to pain more blatantly than words.With a sharp groan, Jacob reached for her hips and pulled her under him. Then he hesitated. "I don't want to hurt you anymore."

    "Change it." Mira pleaded sincerely, and hurriedly avoided him and walked towards the house. "I'm going to take a shower." "See you upstairs," Jacob said softly. She froze and then understood what he meant. He had to change, and although he slept in the bedroom opposite to her, half his clothes were in the closet in her room. Her head was still spinning. One kiss and she's gone without a trace, and Jacob can do anything to her! No wonder he was laughing!She was his and he knew it. A taxi was already waiting in the courtyard, and when Mira entered the hall, a maid was leading a man with a briefcase into the living room. The man stopped for a moment and almost looked at Mira in surprise. Then, just as suddenly, his piercing black eyes veiled nodded politely and disappeared from her view.Mira looked curiously at Klaud standing under the stairs. "Who's that?" "Mr. Delrama's lawyer." No doubt the man was staring at her because she looked horrible in her gardening attire it wasn't a

    "I know what I'm doing, Sol." "How can you say that? There's no peace in Castiglio. We're all crawling around the house—no smiles, no laughs. That wonderful delicious food—He said if he didn't finish another meal, he'd leave!" "Jacob is very bad-tempered." "Having a wife who works all day in the garden, he has a reason. You're neglecting your husband." Not in her dream, she didn't."He thrives on neglect." Sol gritted her teeth disapprovingly, shook her head, and got up to leave. "You're as stubborn as he is." Mira regained her energy and continued weeding. If her brother looked down on her and Jacob now, she knew he would blame her too. But from the moment Jacob asserted that if she were related to Dimitri, he would feel obligated to maintain a married relationship with her, Mira decided not to try to use that as a basis to attract and keep him.After successfully seducing her into bed, Jacob candidly admits that his only interest in her is sex. If he knew she was Dimitri's sist

    The powerful car stopped in the yard. Jacob turned off the engine and turned to look at her, black eyes as hard as jet in a vibrantly handsome face. "When you lose your temper with Sheldon, your mood can turn bad. He is your security blanket and I think you are old enough to live without him. Times have changed, don't try to tell me differently, baby. What you want now is me—"Forever, and always, she thought horrified, clutching at the depths of her own vulnerability. She wants so much more than she hopes to achieve. Jacob held up a strong hand and gently tucked a handful of colorful spirals between his fingers. He lifted her brooding face, subjecting her to the onslaught of his stern scrutinizing gaze. "I want you," he said with great succinctness. "So what's the problem? In my opinion, this is a simple and completely straightforward relationship."Mira held her breath, almost drowning in the evocative scent of him being so close, and a flurry of small reactions made her dizzy an

    Sheldon makes a deliberate U-turn in the colored vehicle. "I've always promised myself to take a vacation. The moment you said you were in Castiglio, I saw the sun, water, and the sand and I realized where you had to be. From there, it was just a matter of studying the map." As he drove down the steep mountain road at the crawling speed of a fear of heights, holding the steering wheel painfully tightly, rounding each zigzag corner with ease,Mira thought about Jacob feverishly until she was dizzy with tension. Bang! He stole her peace and security. And what did he give her in return? A terrible sense of inadequacy and self-loathing, and an unreliable temper like an active volcano. "If you are threatened by Jacob, please yell." Just last night, he told her that she had a fight with him and wanted to arrest him! He's seen inside of her and understood something that she didn't understand herself, and it's horrific.She should have known she was in love with him the moment she found her
