Sebastian went home after finishing the three cans of beer. He wanted to drink more, but he's not irresponsible to drunk drive and harm himself, so, he decided to just continue his drinking spree at home.

"Bro!" he's forehead automatically creased when Simon welcomed him with different expression he only sees whenever he learned that Sandra got another dating rumor, thus, made him panicked a bit because her first ex-boyfriend was back.

"Bro, you won't believe what I'm about to tell you!" Simon exclaimed as he dragged Sebastian to the sofa and forced him to sit down. "I had a lunch with Sandra sissy, Sis Bammie and Jay!" he announced rather loud and in haste.

Almost instantly, he groaned and massaged his temple hearing the guy's name. As if it was a lemon that poured to his fresh wound, Jay Kim was the most sour topic he'd never want to talk about.

Not liking where the conversation was going, he tried to avoid it and pried away from his brother. However, the latter was too persistent

    Sebastian covered his face with his palms as he heard Simon. He tightly shut his eyes and bit his lips a bit hard as he tried to calm himself but to no avail. The thing that scared him the most was happening already. Sandra's first love, Jay Kim was really back. How can he compete on that? Does he even has a stand against the guy who captured her heart first? "Bro.." Simon's worried voice reverberated but it did not stir Sebastian from burying his face on his palms. Simon sighed dejectedly and wiped away the tears that escaped his eyes. He didn't regret telling him the truth, though it hurts him seeing his brother like that. More than anyone else, Sebastian must know about it and be aware of what was happening between the two even though it might break him to pieces. Truth hurts but does lies hurts the most when the truth have finally prevailed? "Do you want to call the others? I think you need a drink," Simon suggested.Sebastian didn't respond and Simon took it as a yes. He quic

    "Sandra.." Jay cooed.Sandra crossed her arms acrossed her chest as she stared straight to Jay who was standing in front of her office table."You're doing it again," she stated coldly."I'm sorry but.." Sandra raised her index finger to cut whatever excuses he was going to say. She really didn't like it when she hears an apology has been sprouting with the next word 'but', as if it's a sin not to include excuses after apologizing to clean their hands off the fault they have made. It's way much better to say not sorry. She sighed, "I didn't like it. Why did you do that?"Her lips pursed into thin line and looked straight into Jay's eyes."I'm just doing the right thing," he answered nonchalantly as if he didn't do nor harm anyone in particular.Sandra rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue indication that she's getting more annoyed with the guy. She has a very long patience, but for people who meddles with her personal life automatically cut her long ribbon of patience stored. "What

    'Though you can't trust guys (me)..' Sandra stowed the last note inside the box together with other post it notes and daisies she received. The sight brought a smile on her face. Though, she couldn't just forget what Sebastian did, he's still her most favorite person in the world and it will never changed anytime soon. It's not easy to get rid of him just like that anyway.Slowly shaking her head, she stood up and carefully hid the box together with another one that has a lock on it, underneath her king size bed. She then shifted to open her drawer whereas she hid the two boxes she received from the unknown senders few days ago. "I think it's about time," she mumbled.The guard who accepted those boxes only got a questioning look from her and a loud sigh. She didn't do scolding nor have a heart to fire anyone without absolute and rationale reasons. Sincere apologies would do for a minor mistake like that and she's glad the guard did it right away that's why she forgave him immediate

    "Breaking: Royal couples are back!" "No!" Simon suddenly shouted so loud that made Sebastian and Carmina jolted in their seats inside the studio. "What the hell Simon?!" Sebastian hissed and narrowed his eyes to the poor guy.Simon immediately shoved his phone in front of Sebastian and just let him read the whole article without saying anything. He was too annoyed to even speak anymore. He can't believe those media were so fast and exaggeratedly assumed that they were back together just because they've seen the two in one frame. He and his sis Bammie were there too! They were all sitting in one table! It was impossible that they suddenly got blind not to see them and only caught their so-called royal couple. He huffed loudly. And he didn't believe his Sandra sissy would fall for that jerk again. He even questioned how did she fall for that guy before when he can't see anything good with him. "What's that?" Carmina quiried when she saw Sebastian became immobile while staring blanki

    Simon jumped up and down while clapping and squealing loudly like a cheerleader cheering his basketball player boyfriend for his smooth three points shoot after Sebastian put down the telephone. "Brother!" he shrieked and hugged Sebastian tightly with a proud huge grin. "I'm so proud of you!" Carmina who was silently sitting on the couch chuckled as she watched the two. She's also happy seeing her bestfriend finally had the guts to ask Sandra out. It's actually a big achievement for someone who was extremely shy to the woman he likes. Heck, it was definitely bigger than any awards and recognition Sebastian had received so far."We're just having a dinner, don't be exaggerated," Sebastian stated, but couldn't hide the smile plastered on his lips. He as well couldn't believe in himself that he did that. Like finally! He got the guts now."It's not just a dinner, Bro! It's the right time to confess your feelings for her. Don't waste it!" "I already confessed" Sebastian spatted almost

    It was such a good day for Sebastian. Though, he wasn't able to sleep that night because of too much excitement he felt, he would never trade this day for any best damn days in the past he had. Having the woman on his passenger seat was already a dream come true. What more being with her for the whole freaking day? Dang, he was in ecstacy, without even trying to take any drugs.He cleared his throat and glanced at Sandra. "Where do you want to go?" he asked cautiously."Anywhere," Sandra shrugged without leaving her eyes from the window.Sebastian nodded though he knew Sandra won't see it. He decided to bring her to the place where he had promised to himself before, that the first person he would bring there is the girl he loves. The corner of his lips tugged at the reminiscent. "You're prepared," Sandra commented, quite startled Sebastian. "I purposely came early to surprise you," she added as she finally look at the driver. Sebastian wasn't able to respond right away. He's still i

    Sandra chuckled as she pulled away. She was so amused to experience for the first time, a guy who didn't respond to her kisses. It always has been the man either to initiate the kiss or kiss her back right away the moment their lips touches. And there's Sebastian neither did both. He just remained lip locked and frozen that she felt she was kissing a statue. She tilted her head and gently caressed his bottom lip that stained by her lipstick. She smiled at the sight. Her lipstick suits Sebastian. Should she make him wear it more often? "You didn't like it?" she asked, slowly.Sebastian could only gape at the beautiful sight that was so dangerously close to his face. His mind completely went haywire and he felt like hyperventilating. He shut his eyes tightly and his knuckles turned white as his grip on both sides of his seat tightened."Answer me, Sebastian Lee," Sandra protruded as she gently caressed his jaw. However, Sebastian's breath hitches at her touches. All the fibers in him

    Sitting on the rock side by side, Sandra and Sebastian felt the coldness as their feet were dipped in the water.Sebastian was still in daze and cannot believed that it was actually happening. It was just his wishful thought then, to bring the woman he loved to his secret place and now it materialized. He silently thanked the heavens for the best gift, however, he still felt useless since his tongue cannot be found. He couldn't coherent a proper word to start conversing with her, nor say something just to cut the dead air between them. He bit his bottom lip, but then he remembered what Sandra said and did to him earlier that he quickly released his lip from his teeth. He looked at the woman beside him from the corner of his eyes before shaking his head. "I love silence but I don't want you to be silent the whole time you're with me, Sebastian," Sandra suddenly stated.Sebastian stirred a bit when the woman turned to him and tilted her head. He avoided her gaze and tried so hard not

This wife's admirers didn't decrease even after their marriage and have four kids. She's already in her forties, yet men out there of any age continued fantasizing over her! Some even had the audacity to confess just like what she's telling him right at the moment, and it's making him really furious! “Of course I told him I wouldn't replace you with anyone else. Phoenix is the only one in this world,” she giggled. And just like that, like his old self who never fails to melt everytime she says the right words, he smiled widely, showing his gummy and pearly white teeth.

    “Before we start, I would like to thank you first for trusting us for this exclusive interview again, Sandra,” the host stated.Sandra flashed a smile, “Of course, this is my favorite show”“Really?” She nodded, “And I kinda owe you, too..”The host seemed surprised and she couldn't help but gaped at her. Meanwhile, Sandra chuckled as she watched the host looking at her, suddenly confused.“I found my love because of you,” she continued.Everyone, from the audience to the staff squealed at her words. Even the host herself couldn't hide her giddiness despite the confusion still registered on her face. However, someone from the side didn't look pleased and rather seemed pissed off over something no one could figure out why. “How?” the host asked excitedly.Sandra glanced on the side where Sebastian was silently standing.

Their cameras even zoomed in on the piece of paper she was holding, then almost instantly, disbelief and bewilderment were then painted as their expression. “Sebastian Lee?” one queried, puzzled of who it was. Others gasped loudly upon hearing his name and those who were standing near the guy turned their heads on him and gave him an incredulous look. “He's Phoenix right?! His real name is Sebastian Lee!” another shouted. Sebastian felt nervous at the sudden attention he unexpectedly was receiving. His determination to go up on stage had instantly deteriorated when everyone was talking about him with full anticipation.“He's here!” another pointed the direction where Sebastian was.Fortunately, before anyone from the reporters and journalists could move, Sandra immediately caught their attention back on her once again. “I just like to clarify things," she said.

His heartbeat skipped its beat as his knees went jelly, making him suddenly kneeled down on the floor weakly. He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste. Sebastian was about to ask why, but the call quickly ended, leaving him puzzled and annoyed. He stared at his phone with brows connected together and thought whether to go there or not. But since he was in denial that it was Sandra who apologized to him over the phone, he quickly

    News about the royal couple being married broke down and spread out so quickly, right after Jay Kim showed the marriage certificate on national television. Their fans celebrated like there was no tomorrow while some showed their dismay as they did like Phoenix more for their princess. Flashnews about them kept on coming here and there and nonstop articles were posted on the internet because the media were the first to celebrate the great news. Sandra sighed as she looked at Sebastian apologetically for she knew it was already exhausting for her husband to have never ending rumors about her. They were now in Sebastian's apartment, particularly in his room. Since Sandra was the hottest topic, they both decided to not go home to her mansion because they were certain that there's a lot of reporters waiting for her there for an exclusive interview. “Aren't you tired?” she queried as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Sebastian shook his head and kissed his wife's forehead

    “Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea

And hearing that there was more of it made them instantly panicked and thought of the worst because they all assumed that it came from Thomas Mendez. They all thought that it was indeed a suicide to go against the old man, since the day didn't even pass and they were already facing another problem. “That bad?” Sandra queried as she frowned at her assistant.She then glanced at Sebastian and mindlessly walked to his direction upon seeing the guy looking pale and not with himself. As she sat beside him, she grabbed his hand and entwined it with hers without saying anything as her focus went back to Jamaica.From the side, Jamaica nodded in response which made everyone get curious about the news she brought in. “What's the bad news?” asked Bammie, a little impatient.

    Bammie and Levi's pictures immediately spread out in all social media sites, since it happened in public and everyone who was casually walking in the hallway that time grabbed their phones and captured the moment when the two decided to display their affection there. Minutes later, rumors about their relationship followed, as the reporters who were just in the auditorium nearby immediately got the report about the scene outside and took the opportunity for a juicy scoop. Which immediately stole the spotlight from what happened in the press conference. Meanwhile, Sandra quickly led them to her office upstairs when people started filing around them. And she also quickly called the security to usher the visitors from the auditorium outside because the press conference was already done to avoid them lurking around the building and coming to her office. “So.. care to explain?” she folded her hands while raising her eyebrows on Bammie. Meanwhile, Bammie rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Why

    Levi looked behind his shoulder as he noticed that Sandra was missing. His thick brows then furrowed upon seeing the woman was left behind there, immobile and stayed still on her spot while looking somewhere else. Following her line of vision, Levi's jaw instantly clenched when he caught a stranger hiding behind the huge plant decoration, in a nearby distance on the right corner of the hallway, holding a camera that was directed towards them and obviously taking pictures.His gaze then went back to Sandra and immediately, his thick eyebrows pulled together as he wondered why the camera was on them when the woman they were after was on the other side. Levi was about to just shrug it off when he thought that the stranger might've just mistook one of the two girls with him as Sandra. However, it would be impossible because the woman was slimmer than the other two. The creases on his forehead deepened as his eyes wandered to his companion, searching for the possible target of that stran
