AUBREE'S POV
"You and Gavin were what?" Seb asked, a bit confused.
I close my eyes. I'm sorry, Gavin, but I need to do this. It's about time Seb finds out the truth. This may be our last chance, and I don't want to lose it again.
"Gavin and I were fake," I said again.
He frowned. You can see the confusion in his eyes.
I heaved a heavy sighed. "That night, Gavin got panic because Sam is about to start her 'Guilty Drama'-"
"Sam's guilty what?" He asked, confused again.
"'Guilty Drama.'" I repea
GAVIN'S POV"I love you too, Seb, and I miss you more." That is what keeps on replaying in my head over and over again since I got home. I have no idea how I was able to go home.I almost lost myself when I heard those words from Aubree. Those are the words I have long wanted to hear from her.I did hear it, but those words were not for me.I never thought that it hurt so much to be heartbroken. It may sound gay, but she is my first love and my first heartbreak.I was there when she entered the restaurant. I was done with my meeting. I was about to approach he
GAVIN'S POVWhen I knew about their plan, I immediately went to see Sam. What I did to Aubree was not easy. But I know that I have to do it—this time, I want to think of myself. I needed to protect myself and my heart from her. I knew that if I do not avoid her, I will not be able to forget her and move on. This is also my way of letting her be happy with the man she truly loved. I’m sure that Seb can take away the sadness that I brought to Aubree because I am sure that he can replace her sadness with genuine happiness. That’s the power of love, I guess. I admit, my heart broke when I saw her crying and b
AUBREE'S POV"Nice shot Aubree. Okay, last pose!" Photographer Mike said while smiling.I'm here at the Inarez Studio. We have a photoshoot today for Sam's traveling Agency Campaign. After this, we will also shoot the TVC. And since it was the last pose, I gave my 200%."Great! Good job, Aubree!" Mike said. After that, the other staff immediately started to leave the place. At the same time, the creative team and I reviewed the shots taken earlier."Great job Mike and Aubree."They constantly
AUBREE'S POV"Bree, don't forget our dinner tonight," Seb said softly as he took me to my unit.We just finished our rehearsal for the new lines of Inarez Clothing.I'm expecting Gavin to be there. I heard from the staff that he has arrived from his business trip. But he did not come. I was even sadder, and I just missed him even more.He used to see to it that he was always there during rehearsals and the final runway.My sadness turned to excitement when Seb told me that we had a dinner date with Sam and Gavin."Okay," I said, smiling.
Gavin's POV Despite the cold temperature here in the restaurant, I am sweating. I was so tense to think that this is only a dinner date. This is the second time that the four of us will be having dinner. The only difference is that I am not Aubree's date for tonight's dinner. She is with Sebastian. "Are you okay?" Sam asked me, full of concern. I just smiled at her and nodded. We chose the same restaurant where we had our last dinner together. This time my date is Sam. How I wish that it will be just the last time where I am Aubree's date. But I know that is impossible now to happen.
Gavin's POV I was stunned when I saw her again. She's really a beauty. My forehead furrowed when I noticed that she lose weight, and she looks so stressed. But how can she manage to be that beautiful? That even though she looked very stress and lost a lot of weight, she still looks stunning. When did stress become your source of beauty?! I just shook my head with the things I said to myself. Maybe I was too in love with this girl, that is why I am like this. It seems like even if she became a skeleton, she would always be the most beautiful girl in my eyes. Why can’t she choose me? If she chose me, I would make su
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 "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.
