### **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.

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 22: Jarren’s Determination****Jarren's Perspective**Sitting at my desk, I couldn’t shake the memory of my last conversation with Keisha.

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.

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.

### **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.

### **Chapter 24: Maria and Gabriel’s Reconciliation****Maria’s Perspective**The sun was setting, casting a warm glow across the café where I waited for Gabriel.

Ever since his promotion, he’d been buried under work, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was losing him.“Hey, sorry I’m late!” Gabriel rushed in, his hair slightly tousled and a look of regret on his face.“Hindi ka na nagparamdam,” I teased, but my smile didn’t reach my eyes. “I was starting to think you forgot about me.”He slid into the seat across from me, running a hand through his hair. “I wouldn’t do that, you know that. Work has been crazy lately. I didn’t mean to leave you hanging.”“I know, but it’s just—” I paused, searching for the right words. “I miss you, Gabriel. It feels like we’re living in different worlds.”He sighed, leaning back in his chair. “I’m sorry. I’ve been so caught up wit

My company was facing a major crisis, one that could potentially ruin everything my father built. I leaned back in my chair, trying to maintain a composed facade, but inside, I was a whirlwind of anxiety.“Jarren, we need to act fast,” my CFO, Martin, insisted. “If we don’t address this issue with the suppliers, we’ll lose not just our contracts but our reputation.”I rubbed my temples, feeling the weight of responsibility pressing down on me. “I know, I know.
