He was already in Baguio City when he received a call from Miguel informing him about Thera’s sudden visit at the TeaCaf. He drove the car faster when after few minutes he called again telling him that Thera was having a serious conversation with Girlie inside the restroom.
Sean went straight to the Tea Caf instead of coming back to his Villa. Thera was no longer there when he arrived.
“She did not ask anything, Sir. She just politely asked me why she did that to me then. After that, she told me to went on my way first... She stayed inside the restroom and locked herself for a few minutes.”
Sean found out that Thera has been leaving the house for several days since he left Baguio. He

Sean made three consecutive knocks before he pushed the master's suite door open. He sighed when he saw Thera was on the couch instead of lying on the comfortable bed. She was groping her stomach, and a white face towel covering her face. Sean walked towards and her andcleared his throat to make Thera aware of his presence."Stop starving yourself. The food is getting cold."Thera answered him with a moan."I can pretend I did not hear what you said yesterday. There's no need to be embarrassed." Sean said. "Were you that upset?

August 10, 2015Baguio City, PhilippinesIt was raining cats and dogs. The threatening flashes of lightning and the rolling thunder clearly implying that the storm wouldn't end very soon. Thera's body was slightly shaking. She had nothing but her underwear on, which made the cold slowly take over her exposed body.Sean took a deep breath seeing her shivering terribly. He grabbed her wet clothes from her hand and led her towards the tub. His gesture forced Thera to submission. The only thing she could feel deep within was complete numbness. On top of that, her brain refused to function well at that moment.What does she have to do for them to get back on track like how they used to? Was there any hope left for them to do

Wiping her tears with her palm, Thera composed herself to face the guy. She had no idea who the man was, but judging by his appearance, he sure looked like someone who needed some help."My car broke down a few meters away from here. You can see it from here, actually. There!" he explained, pointing his finger at his back. There was a hazard signal to where his car was parked."W-where were you supposed to go?""I was supposed to head to Pangasinan but yeah, things happened in the middle of the drive.

Thera had no idea how they were able to leave the restroom in pieces. Her mind was too preoccupied; she didn't realize that Sean was holding her hand firmly until now. Unsure where he was taking her. One thing was for sure; she heard him say his last words to the two employees before they stormed out of the room.“See me in my office tomorrow,” there was an authority in his voice as he spoke those words.Thera couldn't help but wonder how did he know that she was in the ladies' room? Aside from that, how did he know that she was being criticized severely there? Not only does he storm into that room just to inform them not to belittle her, but also to propose marriage in their faces. The fact that he came just in time was a relief for her.Sean was still holding her hand as they walked through the corridor with long strides. Watchful eyes burning with curiosity trailed around them. Who would have thought that she would show herself up in the building

Several moments had already passed since Thera finished taking a shower. She had gotten dressed as well, but she could not find her courage to go out of the bathroom. She drew a heavy sigh countless times and was trying to gather her spirit to face Sean, who was waiting out for her. She was still trying to get herself collected.She had already checked her unit early on, particularly the double-sized bed placed in the middle of the room. Sean changed the sheets himself before she went to the bathroom. She could not help but question herself about the size of the bed.

"W-what are you doing?" Thera stammered in fear. "Who—?"The door automatically locked as it clicked close behind him. Then, a broad smile curved on his lips."How can you forget so easily, Thera. My jaw hadn't completely healed yet," he told her, slightly tilting his head to show his jaw.Thera felt confused. She could not remember who the guy was no matter how hard she'd try. She was trying to think what fault she had done to him. Last night, she smiled at him back in the hallway."If I did something wrong, I am asking for your forgiveness. Please, I—"The intensity of his glare was enough to send chills down her spine. She was taken aback by the menacing look on his face, uttering a silent prayer that someone will appear to her rescue."You humiliated me in front of those people! Because of you, my wife took all my children away from me. And now, all you could say was sorry? You've got to be kidding me!" he scoffed sternly at

Epilogue Thera slid her hands into the pocket of her maxi dress that barely protected her skin from the cold. She got too excited to see the sunrise that she forgot to bring her scarf. She stood in the gazebo, the one that was facing across the ridges of Baguio where the sun usually emanated the very first thing in the morning. The temperature went down to ten degrees last night— enough to make their teeth chatter. Today was the twenty-fourth of December 2023. The De Marcos would gather tonight to celebrate not only Christmas but also her birthday. Their maids and cooks were all busy preparing for the party later tonight. She’d might as well help later since she had nothing to do in particular anyway. It was three years ago when she left to find solitude and to recollect her broken soul. Now, she finally came back after regaining herself fully. Sean still managed The Palace Mall and Hotel pretty well over the years. On the other hand, Miguel was still managing the Tea Caf with the

Just when the elevator door was just inches from closing, Sean held it with his hand to keep it open. Thera raised a face. She wished she could blink her tears away, but how could she do so? Sean's serious gaze rooted her to the spot.“Nine years ago, I told myself if I could travel back in time, I’d choose not to meet you. Afraid I might ruin the girl who got nothing but love in her heart. I told myself to keep my distance from you. That I shouldn't have met you. But when you lost your memories, just thinking about you forgetting everything about me scared the hell out of me, Thera. No matter how hard I try to deny it, you are the last person I want to lose.”Thera swallowed hard. Hearing those felt like someone hit her hard on the chest.

When her digital clock reached six twenty-six, she finally got up from bed, avoided looking at the other side of the bed.She dragged herself towards the pantry and started to look for something to prepare for herself.

He had inputted Thera's birthday, her parents' birthday, their wedding day, but to no avail. On top of that, Thera was clinging to his neck, her face pressed against his shoulders. She was absolutely intoxicated.“Hey…” he muttered as she slipped out of his arms. He watched her squat on the floor like a child, her back leaned against the wall. Her eyes still shut.Sean knelt to scoop her up. Thera let out a groan of protest, leaning her head against his chest this time. He swore the hair all over his chest stood when her breath brushed through his neck.He was about to press the digital lock when Thera spoke out of a sudden.“Ten, fifteen, fifteen, idiot.”As soon as they got in, Sean carefully laid her down.

She was sitting on a couch while the old man remained seated on his swivel chair, his elbows rested across the long working table.How is she going to start asking her questions? What if everything she heard was just a rumor? Why would he even waste his time and money for her in the first place?But the way Mr. Hernandez was looking at her, he sure had a lot of things to say."Perhaps, it's time to know about the truth, miss Thera."Her heart was pounding like crazy.

I owe you one,"She smiled a bit. The man was about to say something, but he chose to shut his mouth. It seemed like the woman was still not in the mood for a chat. He felt the need to get out of the car. Clutching the door handle preventively, he turned to face her once more."Do you want some coffee? I supposed we both hadn't had breakfast yet,"Thera shook her head to refuse his offer. "I'm full. Thank you,"The man shut the door, defeated. He was left behind while watching her drive off her car.
