RYLAN'S POV"Happy birthday to you!!! Happy birthday Gabriel!" cheered the guests at the birthday party."Thank you so much, everyone!!!" Gab enthusiastically responded to everyone.I scanned the room and saw Benny, Rico, and Jeff, along with other kids we often play with on the basketball court.The occasion was grand. It was obvious it was well-prepared with lots of balloons, food, and games ready. There was even a clown making everyone laugh. It was such a joyful scene. Seeing all this, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. I wished I was born into a wealthy family so I could experience this too, maybe even still be in school. But even though we're not well-off and there are many things I didn't experience in my childhood, I would never trade my family for anything. I love them dearly.I sat at a table with Lily and Nico. Mrs. Mimi wasn't around because she was busy with the guests. Brandon was also mingling with the guests. I knew his boss was attending too."Miss Lily, thank
RYLAN'S POV["Can I talk to you?"]"Of course, what's it about?" I heard Brandon reply to Dylan.I saw Dylan take a deep breath before speaking, as I continued walking towards them. "I just want to apologize for my behavior earlier," Dylan sincerely said to Brandon."No worries, man. If I saw another guy dropping off my loved one, especially if he's my wife, I'd be mad too.""That's actually what I wanted to clarify.""Dylan, can I clarify things for him?" I asked for permission as I reached them."But Ry--" Concern was still evident on his face."I'm okay, and it all started with me anyway. I'm really sorry, Dylan, for dragging you into this." I looked straight into his eyes to show how remorseful I was."Wait! Cutiee, don't take all the blame because I'm the one who started it all."I was surprised when Lily suddenly appeared behind me."Lily--""No! Dylan, Brandon... I'm really sorry for my joke leading to all this," Lily earnestly apologized to Dylan and Brandon."Lily? Do you kno
RYLAN'S POV"Aaah~ Ry, please go slowly.""Do you not want it anymore, Dylan? Am I not good at this? I've been tired of doing this for a while now," I said with a trembling voice."It feels so good, Ry, but let's take it slow," he replied, catching his breath."Stop it, Dylan. Someone might hear you, and who knows what they'll think," I said irritably, even though my face was already turning red."It's okay, Ry. It's just us here," he said with a grin, lying face down on the bed."Seriously, Dylan, I don't want to anymore. My hand is getting tired from massaging you," I replied, getting up from behind him."Wait, Ry. I was just joking. Just a little more," he pleaded."Don't you have something to tell me, Dylan? Why don't you start now?""Oh, right, thanks for reminding me," he said, and I frowned. It meant he really forgot.When he came home earlier, he mentioned that he had something important to tell me. After we ate, he asked me to come to his room to talk about it, but suddenly h
Chap 1'Psst.''Pssst.''Hey handsome!!! Notice us~'I was hearing that while I was walking here on the side of the road, the sunlight was still hot even after twelve o'clock in the afternoon.'Pssst!''Handsome!!! Handsome !!!'I can still hear the hissing coming from somewhere in the distance, I can't turn around because it's definitely not me they're calling. First of all, I don't have the appearance of being handsome because I'm just a humble provincial who landed here in Manila to look for a job. But in an instant, my thoughts quickly changed when suddenly someone grabbed my arm."Hey handsome, can't you hear us?" a gay man frowned."Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I wasn't the one you were calling.""You're still humble, you're really handsome. Aren't he, girls?" he said again while asking his another colleague.'Is he with someone else?' I was confused and can't help to question in my mind what's happening.Maybe because of hunger and tiredness that's I can no longer notice some thing
Chap 2RYLAN'S POV"Would you like something to drink?" he asked."Oh, don't worry, thank you very much for the food you gave me. The last time I ate was yesterday," I said, taking a bite of the fries that I dipped in ketchup."Also, thank you for saving me earlier. If you hadn't stood up for me, I might have become a call boy.""You thank me too much, all of it are fine ," he replied, I also noticed that he was standing in front of me."You stay here, I'll just buy inside."I couldn't stop him because he was walking so fast. I just continued eating. It didn't take long and he was back."Here," he offered, handing over the purchased soft drink to me.I just accepted it and said thank you. A few minutes later, I was about to finish eating, but suddenly he spoke and I turned to him.'He's still here,' I thought. I was amused by the food because I only tasted something like this for the first time."It's been a month since I came home to the Philippines, because I worked abroad for sever
Chap 3RYLAN'S POV"Here's the banana cue, eat it," I said to the children who were begging and sitting on the side of the road.I really thought Dylan would eat all the banana cues he bought from Grandma. I can't help but remember our conversation earlier."Can you really eat all that, Dyan? That's a lot," I asked him as we walked away."Of course I can't eat it all, so let's take four, two for each of us, then we'll give the rest away," he answered happily and still laughing.Dylan is really amazing, first of all he is kind because he saved me earlier and even gave me a job and now he is giving food to the children we see begging here."Brother, thank you," said a boy, bringing me back to my trance."Don't thank me, thank him," I said as I pointed at Dylan, because he was the one who actually bought the food.In my beliefs and impression are the same as others when it comes to the rich peoples. I thought of them as full of their selves and arrogant, but when I met Dylan I knew I was
RYLAN'S POVI WAKE UP early, I looked at the clock hanging on the bedroom wall. It's four o'clock so it's still dark outside.I woke up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, it was my first day at work. I'm so excited that I rushed what I was doing.A few moments later...I'm already in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Dylan. I cooked eggs, hotdogs and fried rice, because this is the only thing I could cook based on the contents of his refrigerator."It's done, I have to wake up Dylan," I whispered to myself. Look at the clock here in the kitchen. It's 5:30 am right now."Dylan!!! Wake up, it's late and you still need to take a shower!" I gently shook his shoulder."Rylan?" he called me while yawning.I look around, in fairness, the interior of his room is beautiful and cozy, its design is also simple. It's just that, due to the mess it ruined everything. His clothes and belongings were scattered all over the place."I'll just clean it when he leaves," I whi
RYLAN'S POV"Ry! I'm home!"My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard a voice from the living room of the house, it means Dylan was here. I was filled with nervousness because of what happened earlier, but I knew I still had to welcome him."Ah, Dylan, you're already there," I answered while peeking into the kitchen."Yes, and I have something for you," he said cheerfully when he entered the kitchen and placed the bag on the kitchen top.I was intrigued by what he said so I approached. "Woah, donuts!"He looked at me happily with a smile on his lips before speaking. "That's my reward to you because you enjoyed your first day at work."When I heard what he said, I suddenly felt guilty. He is really kind and I hung up on him earlier."Ry, make me mango juice again like this morning, I'll just get dressed," he requested before heading up to his room. "That's a shake, not a juice," I insisted as I followed him. The fool just grinned and didn't turn around.While I was busy doi

RYLAN'S POV"Cherry? I wonder where the cherry is," I whispered to myself while searching for the jar that was just beside me earlier.I'm in the kitchen now, busy making desserts for the party. Lily and Brandon wanted to help, but I declined knowing they're busy preparing the program and games. They decided to hire a catering service for other food. I've finished making some desserts like fruit salad and coconut pandan. I also made cookies and macaroons for giveaways. I was almost done with the black forest graham cake I was making when I realized the cherry I needed was missing."I'm sure I left it here," I murmured to myself.No one could have taken it since Dylan is at work and I'm alone here now. I couldn't help but feel a bit sad because I miss him again."Where could it be?" I muttered in frustration.I've been looking for it for a while now but still couldn't find it. I've searched the entire place but it's nowhere to be found."Are you looking for the cherry?""Yes, that's i
RYLAN'S POV"Ry ko, what you did earlier was dangerous, don't do it again, okay?" Dylan lectured as we entered the house.Because of his sudden braking earlier, we almost got into an accident. It seems he really didn't like my joke. I know what I did was wrong, "But why is it okay for him to tease me? Since he's annoyed now, might as well push it, right?""Why? Is it wrong to call you my dear husband?" I grinned playfully and affectionately. I noticed his cheeks turning red again, 'He's really cute.'But my little victory quickly ended when I saw the sudden change in his expression, his forehead creased, and he glared at me as he walked towards me. I swallowed nervously, fearing his next move, slowly backing away until I leaned against the wall."Dylan, I was jus--"He didn't finish my explanation as he suddenly blocked me on both sides with his body and arms.I became even more nervous as he brought his face closer to mine, not seeing any emotion in his eyes, which only increased my
RYLAN'S POV"Dylan, should we head straight to the supermarket?" I asked him as we exited the church.It's Sunday again, and it's been days since Lily and I discussed my help for Gab's birthday party. They've already given me the ingredients.Now, I'm wondering what design I should make for Gab's cake. I can't help but sigh because I still haven't come up with an idea.Only three days left until Gab's birthday, so I need to start making the desserts for his party. Dylan has a freezer at home, so I'll just put them there, and they'll be ready by Gab's birthday. The last thing I'll do is the cake.As we walked back to the parking lot, memories of Lily and Brandon bringing the ingredients to the house came flooding back. One afternoon, I suddenly heard the doorbell.Peeking outside the gate, I saw Lily and Brandon."Oh, it's you guys. Thank you, even though it's embarrassing, you went grocery shopping and even brought it here," I said."Don't mention it, Cutie. Thank you so much for agre
RYLAN'S POVI let out a big yawn as I stretched, it's a new morning, a new day of my life.While I'm cooking breakfast and Dylan's packed lunch in the kitchen, I can't help but feel that my life is returning to normal, even though I still can't believe I got involved in a kidnapping. That's just something I watch in movies. I've forgiven Leo already, so I should bury everything in the past.After cooking, I went to wake up Dylan and prepare his clothes. "Dylan! Wake up, it-- Ahhh!!!" I shouted in surprise as he suddenly pulled me onto his bed."Good morning, Ry," he grinned while hugging me."If you're awake, you should get up.""You're so grumpy early in the morning, Ry," he chuckled while walking towards the bathroom.I just shook my head while fixing his bed, then I prepared his clothes for the day.▼△▼△▼△▼△"Dylan, I added more to your packed lunch, give Nico his share," I reminded him while handing him his lunch."Why does Nico always have some?" he complained under his breath."
Chap 27RYLAN POV'Sigh', it's been a week since the incident about Leo abducting me happened. Dylan even surpassed PSG because of the surveillance that was being done on me. 24/7 that he is attached to me, even when I take a shower he is waiting patiently at the bathroom door. He also took a week off from work since that incident occurred.Life goes on even though there are many trials we face everyday. I still remember what happened that night. After they got Leo in the ambulance, they took us to the police station so they could take a statement because of the kidnapping.There I narrated everything that happened. They asked me if we were going to file a case, but I refused. Dylan even got angry because he said he couldn't forgive Leo for what he did. But I told them that it didn't hurt me and that I think he's going through a lot.When we left the police station and entered Dylan's car, he never let go of me in his arms, I just let him do what he wants because I know he was worried
Chap 263RD PERSON POVWHILE that person was carrying out his evil plan against Rylan, he did not know that someone was watching and looking at him from a distance.◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇Dylan was in a meeting at an expensive restaurant when he felt a strange pounding in his chest, he was nervous for something he couldn't explain. Suddenly, the gentle face of his Ry came into his mind. He quickly made an excuse to go to comfort room and call him, Nico was left wondering because of his boss's actionsAs soon as Dylan entered the restroom, he called Rylan, but he didn't answer even once. The nervousness in his chest grew stronger and he decided to leave."I'm sorry Mr. Henson but I really need to go," Dylan said firmly so the business man he was talking to and due to his serious tone, his business partner couldn't refuse. Dylan rushes to the restaurant parking lot to find his car."Wait boss, what's going on?" Nico asked in surprise, as he followed his fast walk."I need to go home, and when I call
