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.

What began as animosity gradually transformed into a connection neither had anticipated.

#### **Chapter 1: Keisha Joli's World**Keisha Joli sat at her desk, surrounded by piles of documents and folders, the low hum of the city outside her window fading into the background. 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

#### **Chapter 2: Jarren’s Circle**The soft glow of the city skyline illuminated Jarren Villarreal’s office as he leaned back in his leather chair, eyes fixed on the sprawling view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. From here, everything seemed within his grasp—the towering buildings, the bustling streets, the people. This was his kingdom, and he was its ruler.Yet, behind the sleek surface of his well-tailored suit and confident demeanor, Jarren carried a weight few people knew about. His five closest friends—Gabriel, Luke, Renz, Sean, and Martin—had been by his side for years, but even they didn’t fully understand what it was like to be Jarren Villarreal. To be born into wealth, with an empire waiting for him to take over, and the crushing expectation that came with it._"Sir, the documents for the Villarreal-Sierra deal are ready for your review,"_ his assistant’s voice interrupted his thoughts, pulling him back to the present._"Thank you, Stephanie. I’ll take a look later,"_

#### **Chapter 3: The First Clash**Gabriel leaned back in his chair, swirling the amber liquid in his glass as he surveyed the room. They were back in the Villarreal boardroom, the place where business deals were won and lost, where fortunes were made, and where tempers often flared. He’d been in countless meetings like this before, but today was different. Today, something had shifted in the air, and he knew exactly why.Keisha Joli.He glanced over at his best friend, Jarren, who sat at the head of the table, exuding his usual air of confidence and control. But Gabriel knew Jarren too well—there was a crack in that cool exterior, and Keisha was the one who had caused it.Jarren had always been the calm one, the one who never let emotions get in the way of business. But ever since Keisha had come into the picture, Gabriel had noticed a change. Jarren’s jaw tightened when she spoke, his eyes narrowed just a little more than usual, and his responses were sharper, less measured.For so

#### **Chapter 5: Tension Builds**Jarren sat in his sleek office, staring at the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The view was breathtaking, but his mind was elsewhere. He clenched his fists, frustrated, as the image of Keisha Joli played over and over in his head. The recent meeting with her was still fresh in his memory, and no matter how hard he tried to forget it, she wouldn’t leave his thoughts._"Ano ba talaga ang problema ng babaeng ‘yon?"_ he muttered under his breath, pacing back and forth.He couldn’t understand how someone like Keisha—so determined, so focused—could manage to irritate him this much. She was stubborn, always challenging him at every turn, yet somehow, he couldn’t help but admire her for it.
