Between Us and the Stars Chapter 17: Keisha Pulls Away
### **Chapter 17: Keisha Pulls Away****Keisha’s POV**After that kiss, everything changed. It was as if a dam had broken inside me, unleashing a flood of emotions I wasn’t ready to confront. _"Ano ba ang nangyari? Bakit ako nagpakita ng kahinaan?"_ I thought, feeling the weight of my confusion. The rush of passion had been intoxicating, yet now, in the cold light of day, I felt vulnerable and exposed.I couldn’t let this happen. Jarren was my enemy, the epitome of everything I detested about the corporate world. _"Dapat lang na lumayo ako,"_ I told myself firmly, even though my heart was screaming for me to acknowledge what we shared.**Maria’s POV**I could tell something was off with Keisha. She had been unusually quiet, and her laughter didn’t come as easily as it used to. I found her in the kitchen, staring blankly at her coffee. _"Keisha, what’s going on? You’ve been so distant,"_ I asked, pouring myself a cup.She shook her head, avoiding my gaze. _"Wala, Maria. I’m just busy w

### **Chapter 19: The Big Revelation****Keisha’s POV**The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the city as I stood on the balcony of my apartment, staring out at the bustling streets below. The distant hum of cars blended with the laughter of children playing in the park. But instead of feeling the comfort of home, I felt restless, my mind consumed by thoughts of Jarren. _“Bakit ba siya ang laging iniisip ko?”_ I muttered to myself, gripping the railing tightly.Our project had brought us closer, and while I enjoyed the moments we shared, I couldn’t shake the fear that clung to me like a shadow. I knew he was a powerful CEO, and the wealth and privilege that came with it made me uneasy. _“Masyado siyang malayo, at ako… wala akong silbi sa mundo niya,”_ I thought, feeling a mix of longing and apprehension.**A Surprise Encounter**

### **Chapter 20: Angela and Sean’s POV****Angela’s Perspective**The sun streamed through my window, casting a golden glow across my room. I blinked awake, a smile forming on my lips as I remembered the evening before. _“Tama na, Angela. Huwag kang masyadong mag-expect,”_ I chided myself, even though the thought of Sean made my heart race.He was different from anyone I had ever met—witty, charming, and somehow effortlessly cool. _“Kaya mo ‘to,”_ I whispered to myself, trying to gather the courage to text him. I had spent the night replaying our moments together, from the stolen glances to our easy laughter.**A Text That Changes Everything**After a few moments of hesitation, I finally sent him a message: _“Hey!

I couldn’t ignore it anymore. My feelings for Jarren were becoming harder to dismiss. _“Hindi dapat ito mangyari,”_ I whispered to myself, my heart pounding in my chest.I pulled away from the mirror, forcing myself to focus on the tasks ahead. _“Work is my priority,”_ I thought, determined to drown out the noise of my heart. But every time I tried, the memory of our moments together flooded my mind—the laughter, the shared glances, the way he looked at me when he thought I wasn’t paying attention.**Confiding in Clarisse**With a heavy heart, I decided I needed to talk to someone. _“Dapat sabihin ko kay Clarisse,”_ I muttered as I grabbed my phone, scrolling through my contacts until I found her name.A few moments later, we were seated at our favorite café.

Between Us and the Stars Chapter 22: Jarren’s Determination
### **Chapter 22: Jarren’s Determination****Jarren's Perspective**Sitting at my desk, I couldn’t shake the memory of my last conversation with Keisha. The way her eyes flickered with uncertainty and vulnerability stirred something within me. I knew I had to step up my game; this wasn’t just a business negotiation anymore. This was about winning her heart, and I was determined to do whatever it took._“Kailangan kong ipakita sa kanya na iba ako,”_ I muttered to myself. I understood her hesitations. I understood the walls she had built around herself, and I respected them. But I wasn’t just the wealthy CEO she thought I was. There was so much more to me—so much that I had never revealed.**Revealing My Past**That evening, I found myself pacing my office, considering how best to approach Keisha. _“Bakit ako natatakot?”_ I thought.

Between Us and the Stars Chapter 23: Renz and Clarisse
### **Chapter 23: Renz and Clarisse****Renz’s Perspective**Another day at the office, and the tension between Clarisse and me was palpable. Every time we crossed paths, it felt like we were about to spar. I admired her tenacity, but it frustrated me how fiercely she defended Keisha at my expense.“Renz, you don’t get it,” she snapped during our latest debate about Jarren and Keisha’s relationship. “He’s not the kind of guy who just changes overnight. He’s been a player his whole life!”“Really? And what do you think of me?” I replied, crossing my arms. “Just because I have money doesn’t mean I’m the same as Jarren.”She rolled her eyes, and for a moment, I caught a glimpse of something deeper in her gaze—a spark that suggested our disagreements were becoming more than just arguments.
Between Us and the Stars Prologue
### PrologueIn the bustling heart of the city, where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and dreams clashed with reality, two worlds collided—a world of privilege and power, and a world of resilience and passion. Jarren, a wealthy CEO with a reputation as sharp as his tailored suits, navigated the high stakes of corporate life with ease. On the other side was Keisha, a fierce and independent woman striving to make her mark in a world that often underestimated her. Their paths crossed in a heated rivalry, each challenge intensifying their animosity, yet beneath the surface simmered a tension that neither could ignore.As they embarked on a joint project, a reluctant partnership forced them to confront their misconceptions. What began as animosity gradually transformed into a connection neither had anticipated.

Her fingers hovered over the keyboard as she typed out an email, her mind racing through her to-do list for the day. It was only 8:00 AM, but the stress of work already weighed heavy on her shoulders. For someone like Keisha, though, this was nothing new._"Keisha, nak, kumain ka na ba?"_ Her mother’s voice echoed from the small kitchen of their two-bedroom apartment. Despite her success in the corporate world, Keisha still lived with her family, helping them make ends meet. Her father had passed away years ago, leaving her as the primary breadwinner for her mother and younger brother._"Opo, Ma, maya na lang."_ she called back, her fingers still flying across the keyboard. There was no time to sit down for breakfast—not with the mounting pressure at work. Keisha had always been like this: focused, dri
