"Stephen’s POV"
"I have to go finish these files, sir," she remarked as she walked away. I was observing her as she walked through their office.
I don’t know what is happening to me, why I suddenly show concern for her and why I have this feeling of protecting her all of a sudden, but I want her to be happy.
I've been observing her since she returned, and I've concluded she's one of a kind among the girls. She has a unique attractiveness that can entice any guy, and I believe it stems from her abilities and enthusiasm in life.
I grinned and returned to my office to finish my work; I had been examining and signing paperwork that had been sent to my office the whole morning.
I placed my pen on the table and leaned my back on the chair I am sitting in, turning it, facing the glass wall. I heard a knock coming from the door of my office, I sighed before I spoke, "come in."
 
"Sir, you have been following her for a week. Aren’t you planning to go down and have a good talk with her?" Mr. Domingo did not stop himself from asking him about his matters.Axel is quietly sitting inside the vehicle in the passenger seat while observing Schina and his rival in love. He wants to explode out of anger at seeing her having fun with someone else, but he can’t do anything other than watching her from afar.He wanted to reveal his thoughts to her, but he was terrified of rejection and being embarrassed as a result. Axel was terrible at expressing himself. He had been calm for years, but when he finally found her, he was worried even when he was sleeping.He did the same routine for about a week, coming to work and following Stephen’s car to see if Schina arrived safely home."Sir, you can’t continue following her. You should do something or else she
"I am not here to harm you, but I am here as a friend giving advice. I know you like Axel," Marie mentioned. She was looking sincerely at her eyes and you could tell that she was not pretending by what she was showing her.Marie was sitting towards Schina’s seat. They had met accidentally in a restaurant near where Schina is working. Marie reached for her hands and touched her softly, pleading, "I am begging you to stay away from Axel." She studied Schina’s reaction only to see how confused she was."I don’t want to see a girl like you getting hurt because of him and… his ex-girlfriend is already back to take him again, I think you better distance yourself to not get hurt deeply," she continued, then smiled at her."What is she saying?" Her mind asked she was confused why she suddenly warned her about this since she was in lo
-"Stephen’s POV"Three years ago…"Hey, look at her. She’d been looking at me since college till then," I whispered to Axel while my eyes were fixed to Janine’s beauty.Our batch held a meeting in a bar to celebrate our success in having a job after graduation. It’s been months since we finished all our credentials at university and some of us have been working in big companies andsome have their own companies like Axel while I…I am still wondering around and planning what I want to be because I haven’t decided yet. My parents have been urging me to follow the steps of my good friend to build my own company but it has not yet entered my mind.For now, all of my plans are focused on her only…"You have been waiting for her to confess to you, and s
"Mr. Andrews?"He slowly opened his eyes and realized that he had fallen asleep in his office while reading the documents. He found his secretary standing in front of his desk and looking at him.He raked his hair with his fingers and threw his tantalizing eyes at her, "what is it?" He asked with a deep tone of voice."Here are the files you asked me to get," she said as she handed him the folders and exited the room.Stephen leaned his back against the backrest and thought about what made him like about Schina, he smiled when he realized that she resembles with Janine though they are different in looks, they have the same thinking and talent.For him, Schina is better than Janine in any aspect, but he will never forget how he felt about her. "Maybe that’s the reason why I fell for her, she’s the same as Janine." He muttered.He look
"S-sir???"Stephen gets out of the car, places the box in the compartment, and opens the car door for her, saying, "Get in."She had no choice but to obey his orders because he had already placed her belongings in his car's compartment. She gave him a sidelong glance before settling into the passenger seat.After closing the door, he quickly got in and sat next to her. "Let’s go?" He was looking at her and noticed that she hadn’t fastened her seatbelt. He moved closer to her body to clasp her seat belt."Wh—at are you trying to do? She inquires when his face was an inch closer to her face."I am helping you to put your seat belt on," he casually replied, and he moved back to his seat upon putting the belt on her."Th – thank you," she shyly thanked him and shifted her gaze to the window. She let the window open and stayed looking out o
"What are you—" she paused and murmured, "doing here?" She stared at him irritably. She didn’t want to be rude to him, but she did it to make him stop rowing in two rivers, and she didn’t want to be in the middle of the two lovers."Good! You may take that box and go right now "She replied forcefully and moved around to unlock the gate."Wait! Let’s talk," she heard him say, but she continued walking inside."Why are you ignoring me like this? Do you also think that I am a pervert just like how my cousin described me?" He confronted her.She was surprised when he mentioned that and paused to listen to him, but she didn’t dare look behind her to see how he looked because she might have fallen deeply for him when she saw his sincere look."I already get what I want from you so it’s better if you will stop coming to me because I don’t like t
The sun was shining brightly. The birds were buzzing, and the breeze encompassed the entire region. Aicko had a pleasant morning. She went to the restroom to rinse her face and brush her teeth, but her world was flipped upside down when she heard a vehicle honk outside her apartment.She stared out the window, trying to figure out who had dared to ruin her lovely morning. "Axel.!" She growled.Aicko went to the bathroom and let him make a noise outside while she continued her routine for the morning. She was brushing her teeth carefully, even though she could still hear the noise coming from outside.She thought that if she let him make noise, he would get tired and stop his nonsense, but it continued to make her neighbors annoyed and they went out to complain about her, even knocking at her door.Though Aicko wasn’t done rinsing her face and still had soap on it, she opened the door only to he
"Good morning, ma’am and sir! May I take your order, please?" The server cheerfully stated as she gave the menus to her customers.Schina's eyes widened when she saw the price. She was ashamed to order because she hadn't brought enough money with her and wasn't expecting it to happen."I would like to have –"He stopped ordering when she motioned to him to come a bit closer to her and whisper, "can we go to another eatery? Because I can’t afford to buy here, I only took fifty pesos, and I didn’t know that I would meet you and invite mehere.""We would like two sets of tapsilog, one order of sisig, two sets of pancakes, and two cups of coffee," he says firmly, motioning for her to calm down.The server repeated his directions and then left, ordering them to return in five minutes. Schina's eyes continued to move and glance around. She was nervous abou
“Ahhhh! I can’t hold it anymore! Drive faster!” Schina shrieked to her husband, she was about to labor in just a few minutes. Axel is panicking and blowing the horn of his car to all the cars in front of them, he rolled down the window and shouted at the driver, “give us a way! My wife is about to labor!” he yelled at them. Some car give them way as he drives the car to the nearest hospital around, he quickly parks the car and help his wife to get out from the car. They put his wife on the stretcher as they pushed it inside the emergency room, Axel wants to get inside but the doctor did not allow him to get in. He is so anxious outside and walking back and forth, he is interrupting every nurses that will come out of the room and ask the same question, “how is my wife and my baby?” Yet, the only answer he receives is, ‘they will be alright, please wait patiently.’ He sat on the bench and prayed, AC and Schina’s aunt arrives and saw her c
Aicko arrived in her apartment, “what are you guys doing here?!” She exclaimed upon turning on the lights, seeing her cousin and his wife in her apartment.“Happy birthday!!” they shouted, she forgot that today is her birthday. She became more disappointed when she realized that even Kevin forgets that today is her birthday.She studied that two and saw her cousin is blowing a horn and wearing a birthday hat while her friend is holding a big cake for her even though her tummy is already in eight month.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Schina asked her.“Don’t tell me you are crying out of joy?” Axel teased her.Schina passed the cake to her husband and hurry to her friend to lend her shoulder for her, “why are you crying, AC?” Schina is patting her back.“Ke—Kevin is cheating on me!” She burst into cry and drops her backpack on the ground, A
“Where are we going again?!” Aicko exclaimed at her fiancé because they have been going at the same spot again and again in the middle of the forest.The couple were invited by Louisa in a reality show that she is taking part in. It is like a race of couples and whoever wins will win a grand prize worth of half million, Aicko doesn’t like to join the said program but since her fiancé agreed on taking part of it, she have no other choice so she agreed than to see him pairing with Louisa.“She thought that she can take him as his partner in her little trick, no, dear. That will never happen even in your dream,” her mind says and celebrating in victory but she is a bit upset because they can’t see the way out of it.“C’mon, Kevin! We have been walking back and forth in the same spot for long hours,” she is about to cry. She is regretting why she joined this stupid game just for the sake of her fian
“Schina’s POV”My heart is throbbing fast, my body is thrilled with the excitement as I walks down the aisle. My eyes were filled with tears, blurring my vision. I did not expect that this will come into my life, I experience a lot of setbacks in my life as I was trying to figure out which company to apply during my internship. I was being rejected multiple times and I thought that he is my nemesis and the man I have to avoid in the lifetime because ever since he appeared, my life had turns upside down but even thought my plan was to avoid him, I turned my back to him when I saw the important thing that’s missing to me and that is the necklace that my mom made especially to me.My plan had changed a bit during that time, I always think of a way on how I can get my jewelry from him and did all the things till I get it but my plan did not work well because I found myself falling in love with him.I can say that love is like a rosary that fu

I did not expect that this day will come to my life, and it never came into my mind that I will settle one day and love a very special girl like her. She is the most amazing and interesting girl I ever met in my entire life and my savior.I used to be alone walking in the dark without a light till she came and light up my whole world, I am glad that I found her again.I hurry out of the hospital when my cousin and his fiancé arrives, “where are you going?” AC asked me.“I am going out to buy fruits and food for her,” I explained clearly.“Why do you need to go out if we already brought what you need?” she showed me the basket of fruits she brought.“I need to buy more,” I told her.“Axel!

“I thought you like that kind of confession that much,” Axel uttered.“Of course not! I like your proposal more than any other man’s proposal, darling,” she let him know.“But why are saying ‘how sweet’ to them?” He sounded jealous as he complains to her.“I just appreciate them,” she explained but Axel did not accept her simple explanation.“Why are you showing an appreciation to them? Didn’t you appreciate my proposal to you?” he keeps on arguing over a simple thing.Schina is quite annoyed on his reaction, “why are making it big? Are you jealous of them because I told you that I appreciate them?” She ask him directly, she is annoyed that he is acting strange.“I’m not jealous,” he simply respond.Schina knows that he is not telling the truth, “don’t be like this, darling. I don’t want you to repeat you
Schina woke up from a comfortable sleep, she slowly opens her eyes. She is nervous seeing herself in a room, she studied the whole detailed of the room while her mind is trying to recall who brought her here.She is terrified thinking that if her fiancé finds out that she stayed in another man’s room the whole night might ruined their relationship.She get up from bed and sighed in relief seeing that she is still wearing her clothes, “finally! I should get out from this room without letting the man finds out that I am leaving,” she mumbled till her eyes shifted to the picture frame on top of the drawer.“Am I seeing it right?” She surprisingly asks when she recognized the picture of her fiancé in the frame. “Is it his room? I can’t clearly remember that… Oh! He was there last night,” she says happily. Schina did not have a chance to come in his room even before, she turns her back and spotted t

She is planning to get up quickly till she felt the thin white sheet that covers her naked body!She is terrified as the breathe she is releasing is getting heavier, she didn’t know what to feel but on top of it, she is feeling embarrassed to what happened to her. She bits her lower lip as she is trying to remember how did she ended up sleeping in this unfamiliar place and who brings him in.“Fuck! How did it happened?” she cursed, pulling her hair angrily out of madness.She wanted to cry but she compose herself and searched for her clothes on the ground, “where is my clothes?” she vexed when she did not find her clothes.She sighed and calming herself, “relax, Aicko! Think properly, you can do it. You can escape from this embarrassment if you can find away to get out of here.”Her eyes were
Axel is driving his car back to his condo when he received a notification on his phone that caught his attention, he drives back his car upon seeing the picture of his fiancee having fun in a bar with her friends.“What is she doing there?” he angrily muttered, he quickly phones Kevin while he is driving his car to inform him about this.“Did you know where is my fiancee now?” he sarcastically said, “she is in the bar with my cousin and it is all because of you,” Axel blamed him, “if something happens to her, you will pay,” he added.“Wh—where are they?
