LEXI'S POVGoosebumps crawled all over my skin because of a strange feeling I couldn’t quite understand. Chase’s face was so close to mine that I couldn’t move. I wanted to push him away, but my strength seemed to have left me. I lacked the courage to do anything at that moment. I was just frozen at where I am standing right now.I swallowed hard when he gently held my chin and turned my face to look at him. He was staring straight into my eyes."Don't you think it is unfair?" he asked seriously."W-what?" I stammered.Instead of answering, he suddenly pressed his lips against mine. It felt like millions of volts of electricity coursed through my entire body. Our lips remained locked as I held my breath, eyes closed.No. This isn’t right. I should do something.But I couldn’t move. My body felt paralyzed, and all I could sense was the loud thumping of my heart.When he pulled his lips away, I finally opened my eyes. He was still staring at me intently, while I slowly slid down to the

LEXI'S POV“So, you’re not gay,” I said while lying on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling. I couldn’t move, as if my brain still hadn’t fully processed everything that had just happened.“Who said I’m gay?” he replied, and I felt his hands slide under my neck and the backs of my thighs. I didn’t resist as he lifted me and carried me to his bed.When I felt the soft mattress beneath me, I instinctively closed my eyes for a moment. I have to admit, my back was sore—from the cold floor and, of course, from what we had done earlier. Still naked, I pulled the blanket over myself to cover my body.“My parents think I am, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. And I just proved that to you,” he said with a smirk, standing by the bed.I glanced at him. Now that he had a towel wrapped around his waist, I had enough courage to look at him directly.“Having s*x with a woman doesn’t guarantee your gender,” I said flatly.He laughed softly, looking at me in disbelief. “So, how many times do I hav

SHIELA'S POV“d*mn that man. He really left me all alone,” I muttered in frustration, downing the drink I’d ordered.“It’s your fault, Shiela. You’re rushing things too much. It’s like you don’t know our old team captain anymore,” said Jenny, the owner of Midnight Elixir Bar and one of my high school friends.“You know, I never understood him, even back then. I mean, excuse me— Shiela Marie Castillon has been after him for years. And yet what? He chose to chase Lexi instead,” I said bitterly.Even now, I still can’t believe how Chase continued to ignore me. Way back in high school, I’d spent so long before trying to get his attention, only to find out he was courting my oh-so-perfect half-sister. And the worst part? Lexi actually said yes. She probably thought being the girlfriend of the team captain would elevate her status.“Didn’t he just do it because of a bet? So why should it even bother you?” Jenny remarked.I stayed silent, focusing instead on my drink.“But it’s still crazy.

SHIELA'S POV“Girl, that's enough already. You might actually get drunk for real. How will you score with Chase later if you’re wasted?”I let out a frustrated sigh and glanced at my watch. I’d been waiting here at Jenny’s bar for almost an hour, and Chase still hadn’t arrived. Boredom was getting the better of me, and I couldn’t stop ordering drinks. I was starting to feel dizzy, but I knew I could still handle it.“Why is he taking so long?” I asked irritably.“Are you even sure he’ll come? We might just be waiting for nothing,” Jenny replied, her voice carrying a baritone of doubt.I shook my head quickly. “Even if he is cold toward me, I know he can’t resist me. No one has ever said no to me, you know!”“Shiela, you’re drunk. Let me take you home,” Jenny offered.As she reached for my hand, I pulled away swiftly. “No. I’m not leaving here unless Chase is the one taking me home,” I declared stubbornly.“Shiela, do you even hear yourself right now?” she asked incredulously.I gave h

SHIELA'S POVI wiped my tears angrily and looked back at Chase's car. I can’t lose now. Everything was already going my way, and I wouldn’t allow it to be ruined just because of the girl he was talking about."Let me meet her," I said, emotionless."No," Chase replied firmly.I smiled faintly. "Once I meet your girl, I'll leave you both alone. I’ll even make excuses for our parents to stop the marriage," I added."I know you, Shiela. I won’t let you hurt my girlfriend."I laughed at what he said. I couldn’t believe he still carried the fear of what I was capable of. I didn’t think he’d still remember what I did to Lexi when I found out they were together before."As long as she’s not Lexi, I won’t do anything. And for sure, she’s not your girlfriend now, right?" I said with a smirk.I had no intention of bringing up my half-sister, but I was stunned by his reaction. He looked at me seriously, and my heart began to race."What the f*ck, Chase!" I exclaimed angrily.Even though I was di

LEXI'S POVI slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by Chase’s peaceful face. I couldn’t move right away because he was holding me tightly, his face was so close to mine. Thankfully, he was still sound asleep.I bit my lip. I really did stay over at his condo.Flashback"I'm used to sleeping on the floor as long as there’s a mat," I said to Chase with a smile when we got back to his condo.He frowned. "What? No. We’ll sleep together tonight," he said seriously.Chase had been in a serious mood ever since we left the bar’s parking lot. I didn’t know why his demeanor suddenly shifted. I didn’t know what to think or do, and instead of feeling comfortable around him, I began to feel uneasy again.He walked over to his bed and fixed the sheets that had been messed up earlier. I couldn’t help but recall what had happened earlier. I felt my face heating up again at the thought."Come," he said after finishing."I need to shower first, but I don’t have clothes to change into," I said hesitantl

SHIELA'S POVA hard slap jolted me awake. I quickly sat up and faced the audacious person who dared interrupt my sleep, but all my irritation vanished when I realized it was Mama."Good thing I woke you up immediately," she said angrily.I held my head as a sudden pang of pain hit me. I wasn’t fully aware yet due to how abruptly she woke me, and I couldn’t understand why she was upset."Do you not remember what happened last night?" she added.What happened last night? I tried to recall everything. From what I remember, I was with Jenny at her bar. Then, bit by bit, everything became clearer. I froze in my seat, unsure if I was dreaming or not."Mama, where is Lexi?" I quickly asked her.Her brows furrowed. "Of all people, she’s the one you’re worried about?"I grabbed Mama’s hand urgently. "Mama, listen to me. I don’t know if it was a dream, but Lexi—she was with Chase last night."Another slap landed on my cheek. Mama was fuming, and I couldn’t figure out why."You disappointed your

LEXI'S POV"Lexi, go back inside and apologize to your sister and father so they won’t send you out of the country," Nanny Linda said, crying.I slowly shook my head. The driver was busy loading my two suitcases into the car while I stood outside the house, unable to move."What story did Shiela make up this time?" I asked Nanny Linda instead.Papa was furious, so it was impossible that my sister hadn’t said something outrageous. I thought she’d only tell Papa about Chase, but clearly, I was wrong. I didn’t want Papa to disown me, but I also didn’t want to leave the country because it would ruin my plans. Leaving the country is a great advantage for my half-sister and stepmother. They will surely win this battle if I leave. Now I was torn about what to do.Chase wasn’t with me. He had dropped me off, and I hadn’t allowed him to face Papa yet. He agreed to my request and went home immediately after."She said you put something in her drink last night, causing her to come home unconscio

SHIELA'S POV"Shiela, that's enough. You're drunk," Jenny said seriously, trying to stop me from drinking anymore.I shook my head slowly. Right now, alcohol is the only ally I had. I had no idea how my life had come to this. I thought everything would finally fall into place once my half-sister was out of my life, but it turned out to be the opposite. My father became even more distant, and my mother seemed to care for nothing but the company.And Chase? He felt even more out of reach. If there had been a wall between us before, now it feels like he had built an entirely different world—one I had no place in. The chances of him noticing me had become even more impossible."I don't know if you're celebrating or mourning," Jenny muttered, shaking her head.I let out a bitter smile. "If you think about it, I should be happy that Lexi is gone. I thought I would finally get everything I wanted. But I was wrong. My life has only become more miserable, Jenny.""Well, it's never that simple,

THIRD POV"Chase, I'm sorry that Grandma and I just got back now," Chelsea said, crying as she hugged her brother tightly.It took them a while to return home because Chelsea had an upcoming exam, so she had to take it before coming home. Their grandmother came with her since she, too, was deeply affected by Lexi’s sudden passing."Get some rest first; you must be tired from the trip," Anna told the grandmother and granddaughter.Mirasol immediately shook her head. "I want to visit my granddaughter, Lexi. Chase, come with us to see her," she said authoritatively.Chase gave a silent nod, showing no emotion. Carlo let out a sigh as he observed his son's behavior since Lexi’s passing. Chase showed no emotions and remained quiet most of the time. Although he hadn't neglected TAC, the drastic change in him was noticeable. He practically lived in his office and had only come home to the mansion now because his sister had arrived."I'm worried about him, Mama. He makes it seem like he's oka

THIRD POV“Where is Chase?” Carlo asked the moment he arrived in the dining area of their mansion. He found Anna already seated, waiting for him.“I called him, and he said he would be working overtime at the office,” his wife replied seriously.Carlo let out a deep sigh. He no longer knew what to do with his only son. Ever since his wife passed away, Chase had become distant, shutting everyone out. He was always at the office, and Carlo rarely saw him anymore. At first, he gave his son space, allowing him time to grieve, but now he was beginning to worry about his behavior.“Just give him some time, Carlo,” Anna said as she began serving herself some food.“Until when? He can’t be like this forever,” he said, shaking his head.“He loved Lexi dearly, but he would eventually move on. He’s still young, so he will surely find someone else to love. If only Lexi wasn’t Shiela’s sister, I would have suggested once again that we arrange for them to be together,” Anna added.Carlo turned to h

THIRD POVDinner was quiet, almost eerily so. Minda and her daughter, Shiela, sat at the dining table, sharing a meal for the first time since that morning. But the silence between them was heavy, filled with unsaid words and lingering tension."At least Chase chose to stay out of the company’s affairs," Minda finally broke the silence, her voice carrying a sense of relief.Shiela scoffed, her tone laced with sarcasm. "You don’t have to worry anymore. You’re still the CEO, after all."Minda frowned. "Shiela, instead of standing with me, why does it feel like you’re turning against me? What exactly do you want?"Shiela sighed, shaking her head. "Honestly? I don’t even know anymore. The company? Chase? Papa? I have no idea, Mama. Lexi may be gone, but it feels like she’s still haunting me."Minda froze, her fork slipping slightly from her fingers. Her eyes widened as she turned to her daughter. "She’s haunting you too?" she asked in disbelief."I mean, she’s not truly gone because I sti

THIRD POVMinda was left speechless as her daughter, Shiela, walked away without another word. Frustration boiled inside her, pushing her to seek out her husband, who remained unable to speak. Finding him awake, she wasted no time."Can you just forget about your illegitimate child? Shiela is the one beside you now, and she should be your priority," she said coldly, her voice laced with anger.Ricky simply stared at her. What else could she expect? He had lost his ability to speak. Ever since his heart attack, she had stopped sharing a room with him, choosing instead to sleep in the guest room. She had only given Shiela a convenient excuse, and her daughter had accepted it without question. Rarely did she visit him anymore, and now, after so long, she finally stood before him again."You have already lost one child, Ricky. Don’t let Shiela slip away from you too."With that, she turned on her heel and walked out. A deep breath escaped her lips as she gripped the doorknob tightly. If n

FLASHBACKChase had just finished his meeting and was making his way back to his office when he noticed his mother, Anna, hastily walking through the hallway. She seemed anxious, looking around as if making sure no one was following her. His instincts kicked in, and without a second thought, he decided to trail her discreetly. To his surprise, she headed straight for the rooftop of the building."Hello. I need you to do something for me right now," he heard her say to someone over the phone.A few seconds of silence followed before Anna spoke again."Sneak into Chase's condo. Open the gas tank so that when Lexi gets home, it will explode on impact. That woman has to disappear—she’s a hindrance to all our plans. Make sure it looks like an accident. Do you understand?"Chase felt his blood run cold. He couldn’t listen any further. Without hesitation, he turned and rushed back to his office, locking the door behind him. With trembling hands, he dialed his wife's number."Lex, where are y

THIRD PERSON'S POV"Mama, have you heard the news? The building where Lexi and Chase live is on fire right now."A secret smile played on Minda’s lips as she listened to her daughter. She had long wished to remove her husband’s child from his past relationship. Now, she had finally executed her plan, ensuring that Lexi’s death would once again appear as an unfortunate accident."I don’t know how to feel, Mama. They say Lexi is trapped inside the building."Minda glanced at her daughter, slightly taken aback by the concern evident in her voice. That was not the reaction she had expected."Don't tell me you're worried about that woman?" she asked in disbelief."Mama, I despise her, but I’m thinking about Papa. As much as I hate to admit it, I know he’ll be devastated if Lexi is gone," Shiela answered somberly.She took a deep breath and approached her daughter, gently stroking her hair. "Hija, you need to think about yourself right now. That woman has been stealing everything that shoul

LEXI'S POV"Papa, your wish has finally come true. I am now the CEO of your company," I said with a smile, holding my father’s hand.He had been discharged from the hospital and was now recovering at home. I hired a private nurse to care for him and assigned Linda to watch over him as well. Secretly, I installed a CCTV camera in his room, so I could monitor him even when I wasn’t there. At first, Aunt Minda objected, but the doctor himself insisted that my father needed a nurse.Papa smiled at me, and even though he still couldn't speak, I knew he was happy with my news. I longed for the day he could talk again—I knew he had so much he wanted to tell me.Through the camera I had installed, I saw how my stepmother yelled at him, blaming him for why I was now the CEO. She even pointed a finger at him in anger, and it nearly shattered my heart. Thankfully, she didn’t physically hurt him—because if she had, I might not have been able to hold myself back. Despite everything, I knew there w

THIRD POVAfter the meeting, Minda and Shiela remained in the conference room. Both of them seethed with anger at the unexpected turn of events. Minda reread the documents confirming that Lexi was now the major shareholder of Castillon Corporation. No matter how many times she went through them, the contents remained legal and undeniable."You told me she wouldn’t be able to take Chase away from me, and I believed you. And now, Papa’s company belongs to her," Shiela stated, her voice devoid of emotion."I don’t know how this slipped past me. I worked so hard to convince the investors to sell me their shares," Minda muttered in frustration."Can’t you see it, Mama? My father entrusted the company to her on purpose," Shiela said, her voice trembling with unshed tears.Minda clenched her fists tightly. Perhaps her husband had long known about her affair and had taken steps to ensure this outcome before confronting her. She never thought she would be outmaneuvered like this."This is unac
