Aubree's POV
I woke up feeling still heavy. I saw how swollen my eyes were. Fortunately, I do not have a schedule for this day.
I was about to go to my kitchen when I saw Seb cooking, wearing the same shirt he wore last night.
"Did you sleep here?" I asked, then went to him.
He smiled at me. "Good morning Bree!"
I was a bit embarrassed because I forgot to greet him first.
"Good morning Seb!" I said softly.
He smiled at me, and then he resumed cooking.

AUBREE’s POV It's been a month since the dinner happened. I don’t know why I am not satisfied by the conclusion of Seb regarding my feelings toward Gavin. If what I feel for Gavin is guilt, then why am I feeling hurt every time Seb will update me regarding Gavin and Sam’s relationship. I wanted to visit Gavin and asked him if he already forgets about me. Suppose he moved on from his love for me. Why it seems like he moved on so fast? Is what he feels for me that shallow? And is he falling for Sam already? Today is our final rehearsal for the late
Gavin's POV The show is about to start.The event hasn’t started yet, but I can already see its success. I'm confident with our new collection. But aside from that, the execution of the event itself is a big factor for this success.From the ambiance, food to the venue. And the stage really standout. It's very different from other runways. I am not sure if someone had already done this kind of stage design.The stage is in the middle. The stage is still square. In each corner above, there is an LED HD monitor, so the models and, of course, the clothes they are wearing will be seen more clearly.The model will come in th
Gavin's POV My mom couldn't stop introducing Bree to our family, friends, and some investors.She can't help herself from telling everyone how proud she is for both of us. Add to that was her dream for us to get married.I can see Bree's disbelief from all the good words she heard from my mom. She's not used to this thing. She never experiences it from Mrs. Dela Rama.I clenched my jaw when I remember how Mrs. Dela Rama tried to insult Bree in front of us.I am very grateful that my mom defended Bree.While that Seb did nothing at all. It was as if his tongue
GAVIN'S POV"I think it's about time, Sam. You can now call off the wedding. I will take care of your parents."I knew Bree is there listening to our conversation. And yes, this is still part of our plan. But I can't help it anymore. I have been waiting for too long. If Bree loves me, then why can’t she break up with Seb? Why can’t she admit to herself that I am the one she loves and not Seb.Maybe we want to let ourselves believe the things that we want to think. Sam, hoping that Seb will finally learn to love her, that is why she makes herself believe that Aubree loves me.
AUBREE'S POV He wants her to call off the wedding?! He already loves Sam!Oh my! Why he fall for her so fast?!That means he doesn't love me anymore! For him, I'm just a friend! I can not accept it!I don't know what got me, but I suddenly panicked.I went back to Gavin's office to talk to him and asked him about what I heard."Gav!" I called him.Gav immediately turned in my direction and smiled.Gav, I will not be softened by
AUBREE'S POV Until now, I can’t wipe the smile off my face. He still loves me. And he's right. I love him too.I don’t know, but right now, I feel so complete. I know that this will not be easy. I love Seb, and I knew that I could never unlove him. He became a big part of my life, and I have no plans to throw that away. It's not yet happening, but I am feeling hurt for him. I know that he genuinely loves me. I don’t want to break his heart. But I know that I will hurt him more if we continue our relationship.&nbs
AUBREE'S POV "It's okay, Bree. I understand. I will be here waiting for you.”He was about to turn around, but I immediately hugged him.I felt his pain. I want to assure him, and I hug him tight.We just kept hugging. No one breaks or speaks."I love you," I said softly.I know it's not time yet, but I can't help but say it.He hugs me tight and kisses my forehead.
AUBREE'S POV I still feel like I’m on cloud nine. I still can’t believe that it’s finally happening."Are you okay, Aubree?" Mrs. Dela Rama asked me. I looked at her and nodded. “Yes, Auntie, I’m still just not used to it, though,” I admit to her. She chuckled. "I understand, Aubree. Who wouldn't right?"I felt Seb squeeze my hand. I looked at him.He smiled at me, assuring me that everything is alright.
Gavin's POV "This is it, son." I smiled widely at my mom. "Finally," I said, almost a whisper. I didn’t expect that I will be this happy on my wedding day. All my life, I'm always focusing on work and the things that I want to accomplish.My modeling career, my love for music, and my family business.I thought before that I had no interest in a woman or to be in a serious relationship.
AUBREE's POV It's my last week here in the Philippines. Next week, I will go back to Paris.Moving to Paris is not bad. My two years of living there were great and peaceful. Also, I already accepted the fact that maybe love is not for me.Unlike my love life, I'm having the best time in my career. I never knew that I would be in this industry. But I'm glad I did because I will need a crazy schedule to help myself move on. Though surprisingly, I haven't seen Gavin and Sheena together or even news about them.Maybe they are taking some time off? So that media
AUBREE's POV"Aren't you tired yet?"I turned to my back to see the person who spoke I saw Gavin. He's smiling. His smile is contagious. "Kind of," I said. "I can ask Sam to finish this rehearsal. She will understand that you just landed and went straight here." I can feel his concern.I think he already moved on. Based on how he approached me.I just shook my head from that thought.
AUBREE'S POV After two years Sometimes in love, you need to take a risk. Risk is not to fight for the person you love, but to risk leaving him to learn to love yourself first before loving him again. It's a big risk because when you leave, you are not sure if he will wait for you or not. It's been two years since I left him. No goodbyes nor assurance if I will come back to him or not. I think that it is better that way. Seb made a promise, and he kept it. But I fell for someone else and unintentionally hurt him.
AUBREE'S POVMy one-month vacation is over. And I can say that it helped a lot to be able to relax and think well.That month I turned off my phone.Because my mom is right, I'm done pleasing the people around me. It's about time I think of myself.I knew Seb would be worried, so before I turned off my phone, I texted him, and I said I wanted to spend time with my family first so I will not be able to text or call him because I would turn off my phone.And my Mom is right. All my life, I never do things for myself. I do what I do to please others, and I was consumed by my "love story" that I forgot myself in the process.
AUBREE'S POV The ‘So In Love’ campaign was a success. Most of the influential couple here and abroad inquires about the Inarez Couple Bag. Unlike the other brands, we will only produce one pair of bags in every design we release. The bag designs were also limited. It will only be good for ten couples. That is why we were cautious in choosing the eligible couple. Seb also wants us to have the said couple bag. But I already told him that it will be impossible for us to be chosen because we're not yet married, and my profile will not pass the screening for the approved couple of Inarez Bag.
AUBREE'S POV The majority of the votes were in the ‘So In Love’ concept. I don’t have a choice but to follow the idea. The board left the conference room. Before Mrs. Inarez went out of the room, I approached her to apologize."Mrs. Inarez, I'm sorry," I told her sincerely."It's okay, Ms. Custodio." She formally said."Yes, Aubree. It's okay. You don't need to worry. It happened sometimes. And I commend you because, despite that, your team was able to deliver." Mr. Inarez butt in. I smiled at him though that is not the reason for my apolog
AUBREE'S POV We launched the Inarez Bag Collection last week. As per what we had agreed, we will choose clients who will be eligible to buy the bag of Inarez. We received inquiries from wealthy families abroad. Even the international stars were interested in buying our newly launched product. We meticulously chose the client that will be eligible to buy the product. We want to establish our brand to have the impression that our brand is not just an ordinary brand or bag that anyone can have in a snap.That is why we were very keen on choosing a design material u
AUBREE'S POV I'm going to Gavin's office now.Suddenly his secretary called and said he wants me to go to his office.I followed him. I want us to be as civil as possible.Plus, I am also planning to resign after this project.Seb's mom also offered me a position in their company. Plus, as per her, I need to be familiar with their business because when Seb and I got married, we will be the ones who will handle their company.Yes. Marriage. Even though Seb is not giving me a marriage proposal, his parents already claimed that we would end up in marriage.
