“What are you doing here?” She uttered.
Marie gets irritated because of how she treated Axel and wanted to speak for him but he stops her from doing it, he smirks at Schina and asked, “Is that how you greet your visitor?”
“I’m not expecting any visitor today,” she bluntly stated. Fabian feels embarrassed when he heard her statement, he stood and step near her for he was planning to leave.
“Shina, I have to go,” Fabian informs her.
“Why?” She disappointedly inquire, he didn’t reply but he just look at the man blocking his way.
Axel diverts his attention to the man appears and standing next to her, “if you are not accepting visitors then what is he doing here?” He is referring to Fabian, she was speechless and looks dumbfounded while looking for a reason in her mind till she realize that she doesn&r
"I was sorry for what happened to you today," he said honestly.She irritably wipes the tears coming from her eyes and squeezes her blurred eyes, “why are you standing here and where is your secretary, and driver?” Her gaze scans the surroundings, but the vehicle is nowhere to be seen."They – have a business to attend to and will be back in a minute," he excused."But why did you come here to wait?" She dropped her head and took a few steps forward.“I’m worried about you,” she was moved by his sincerity that her heart skips a beat. He stand closer to him and tucked her hair behind her ears making her look at him.Schina’s face flushed while looking at him, she feels like the world suddenly stops, and everything around them is gradually wiped out and the only thing she saw is him as the pink leaves are falling from its stem. 
Her loud voice echoed in the building. She walked in his direction while glaring at him."You're in trouble, man," the other man says quietly to him, hiding behind his back before she can reach them."Sch—-ina…" He exhaled deeply "What—what exactly are you doing here? I pondered... You do not intend to go out, "He said cautiously."I want you to repeat what you just said to him," she said, motioning to the man behind him. Axel can’t look directly into her eyes while the manager behind hi
"A.D. group of companies has been exploiting illegal firearms and drugs in the country. Valdez group of companies head/s had been sued repeatedly for harassing and sexually assaulted its girls employees, J.Y.C Inc. staff had been physically and emotionally maltreated by the heads and directors…" She had gone through all of the documents she had gotten, learning about the oddities and secrets of each famous firm, and she paused when she discovered it was a confidential file, wondering why he had given it to her.Her eyes had been reading the paper for quite some time when one of the companies caught her sight. She recognized the name of the firm she'd been avoiding for a month: A's Creative Designs.It piqued her attention because it was the only firm with a decent reputation among the files provided to her, but she was opposed to the facts she had read. She is still furious over the unfair competition that occurred a mon
"Axel’s POV""Can you tell me what you did in Zambales three years ago?" I interrogated her since I was not convinced that she was her.I noticed how her eyes became melancholy as if she was remembering a terrible experience from three years ago. She sighed and averted her gaze."I—I…""What have you done there, honestly?" I couldn’t wait to hear her story, I didn’t let her out of my eyes while she was looking away. I noticed how she cleared her throat then opened her mouth again, "what do you want to know exactly," she nervously replied."Which event that you will never forget that happen to you in Zambales? Have you met many people or...Is there an incident that happened years ago that you can’t let anybody know about it?" I interrogated her."Why do you want to know about it?" I can tell she was relucta
He was staring at her face, as he blinks his eyes twice when he realize his awkward position."Are you planning to stay on my top forever?" She sarcastically asked, his lips twitched in satisfaction, "and you seem like enjoying touching my chest for a very long time, huh?" He proudly stated as she realized she was carrying out his accusation.Axel quickly stood, grabbing his shirt and wears the robe leaving Schina in a daze. She was still lying on the lounge chair as her head keeps on playing from the moment she unintentionally touches his chest, she look at her sinful hands with amazement."How did that happen? Why did you touch his chest?" She irritably argues with her own hands till she remembers that he already left, she reacted late and dashed out into the area."Where is he? Where he has been?" She asked as she was searching the area but she haven’t seen him even his shadow.
Aicko overheard her friend's long sigh as they sat under a tree on their campus, watching the soccer game from afar, "what's wrong with you? Why aren't you speaking up?”“I can't believe I didn't get it even though it was right next to me,” she grumbled as she watched Fabian play football.Aicko observes her impassive expression and analyzes her words in her thoughts; she laughs broadly as she recalls her cousin, "Are you upset because of Axel?"She turns her gaze at her, anyone who could see her can tell that she is in trouble by just looking at her reaction as if she’s carrying the earth at her back. Schina had been upset since the day she went back to Baguio after her friend’s cousin run away, “I guess by this time, he had already gone to the U.S. and I bet I really have no chance to take back my necklace from him.” Her mind tells her.&ldquo
"Stephen’s POV"I have been following Axel since the day I saw him at the resort, I guess, God was on my side this time. It’s funny to see myself stalking them that I did not see it coming.I was watching them from afar when my eyes darted to Axel, who was dragging a girl out of the campus. He was quite serious talking with that student at the entrance of the campus. Let’s see who is his next victim.I was astounded when I saw the girl turn around, and it turned out that I had already met her before… She's the person I ran into the other day... When a thought came to me, I found myself smiling.My heart was filled with rage, and I clenched my teeth as I watched him smile after she consented to him... He doesn't deserve to be happy, he doesn't deserve to be loved, he doesn't deserve to exist in this world, and he doesn't deserve... anything after what he's don
Schina’s knees are trembling and can’t even move her feet, as if they were buried in the ground where she’s standing. She was terrified as the vehicle approached her. Axel was worried as he watched the car almost hit her and glanced at her.His feet automatically move and run through her and he wraps his arm around her and pushes his body against hers, making the two of them fall to the ground. Axel uses his hand to not let her hurt her back due to the force of the fall. He was on top of her, rolling their body to stay on the other corner of the road as he noticed that the car was attempting to hit them. The driver looked like he never planned to stop the car.It moved slowly and drifted along the road, "thank you for saving me," she said and stood.Axel sat on the ground and slowly stood up. He was shaking off the dust from his clothes and turned to her, "are you alright?"
