LEXI'S POV"Lex," Chase called out to me.The three of us were now in Chelsea’s room. But Chelsea had gone downstairs to grab some snacks, leaving me staring out the window. From here, I could see the garden where Grandma Mirasol and Shiela were talking."I think my sister is badmouthing me to your grandmother," I said, my voice tinged with worry.Chase let out a deep breath. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, his chin resting lightly on my shoulder."You don’t have to worry about Grandma. You showed her who you truly are six years ago," he said seriously.I smiled as memories of the past came flooding back. "The world is really small. To think that one of the reasons I was able to finish school was because of your grandmother. She’s so kind, Grey. I am seeing my late grandmother to her.""You don’t need to worry about her. She’s on our side," he reassured me.That’s when I realized something. I turned to face him, still wrapped in his arms."Wait, does she know about our agreement

LEXI'S POVAfter everything, Chase and I agreed to stay the night at his family's house. I could feel that his father had already accepted me, but what lingered in my mind was his stepmother. She had remained silent and simply observed us earlier. I didn’t want to assume she was like Aunt Minda, but I couldn’t help but worry. Still, I felt somewhat relieved now that Chase's family had agreed to formally visit mine. This meant our wedding was finally happening."Chase, my grandson, I’ll allow you to sleep in the same room, but I must ask you, please, don’t let me have a great-grandchild before the wedding. Be a gentleman, alright?" Grandma Mirasol reminded him.I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Chase’s face turn red."And you, Lexi. Don’t surrender just yet, alright?" she teased, turning to me.This time, it was Chase who laughed. I secretly pinched his side in retaliation. If only Grandma knew I’d already surrendered that."Don’t worry, Grandma. Go on and sleep," Chase urged her."

CHASE'S POV9 years ago...It was the first day of school, and I was already on campus early. While walking, my friend Jay suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. He is my teammate in basketball and has been my classmate since junior high school.“I heard there were a lot of transferees this year,” he began.That wasn’t surprising. Many schools in our area only went up to junior high, so most students transferred here for senior high.“Stop it. You won’t get anything from it,” I replied flatly. I know Jay too well—he has a thing for transferee girls who match his type.“Did you know the sister of your persistent admirer is studying here now?” he added, walking beside me.I didn’t respond because a girl caught my attention. I saw her trip and fall flat on the ground, almost kissing the pavement. The laughter of the crowd filled the air, and I could only shake my head.“She could’ve been pretty, but she’s nerdy and clumsy,” Jay commented, also witnessing what happened.Honestly, I hated thi

LEXI'S POV"Is everything you said true?" I asked, still in disbelief.Chase smiled slightly. "Do I have any reason to lie to you?" he replied with a question.I avoided his gaze. I didn’t know what to say. I only found the courage to agree to his proposal because I assumed he never really loved me before. I quickly set aside my uneasiness, thinking that our past no longer mattered since it was all just a game.But when I heard from him that there was never a bet and that he was genuinely serious about me, it felt like I had been transported back in time. The feelings, the atmosphere, the memories—it was as if I was a teenager again."I'm sorry for doubting you back then," I finally said.Chase took a deep breath. "I can’t blame you, Lexi. For nine months, you heard nothing from the other students but the word 'bet.' I failed you too. I shouldn’t have let them poison your mind."I flopped onto his bed, my feet still resting on the carpet. I stared at the ceiling, my mind replaying eve

LEXI'S POV"Thank you for agreeing to meet me."I offered a faint smile. Here I was, sitting in a popular restaurant after receiving a message from my father. He wanted to talk to me before Chase’s family formally came to ask for my hand in marriage. I didn’t hesitate to agree because this would be the first time we could talk one-on-one since I left his house."Why did you want to talk to me?" was all I managed to ask."I wanted to personally apologize for everything—what your sister did, and all my shortcomings as your father," he said sincerely.I bowed my head and took a deep breath to keep my tears from falling."I only now realize that in my desire to make amends to my wife and Shiela for my past mistakes, I neglected your feelings. I didn’t want to show favoritism towards you because I knew it would hurt them more. I also thought, like your mother, you were strong and independent enough to handle things on your own.I assumed they accepted you. It was only recently that I learn

THIRD POVWhile in the car, Lexi felt restless because of the anxiety she was experiencing. They were now on their way to her father's house. She was in the car with Chase while Chase’s parents were in the other vehicle. Chase was also quiet, seemingly nervous about what was going to happen.After an hour, they finally arrived at the house. Lexi took a deep breath before getting out of the car."Are you ready?" Chase asked her.She nodded gently. She had a lot of trust in what her father had told her, that he supported their marriage. However, she still couldn’t shake off her nerves, worrying about what trouble Shiela might cause again."Don't worry. I won't let them hurt you," Chase said seriously, kissing her on the forehead.A moment later, Chase’s whole family also got out of the car. Among them was Grandma Mirasol, who said she would make sure that the discussion between the two families would go smoothly, and that the wedding would go ahead."Please come in," Linda greeted them

LEXI'S POVThe days flew by so fast that I barely noticed. I have been swamped with work at the office since month-end was approaching. Chase was also busy with their company, so we entrusted the wedding preparations to an organizer. Chase assured me there was nothing to worry about as he hired the best event organizer in the country.Savina, on the other hand, teased me, saying I was the only bride she’d seen who wasn’t stressed about wedding planning. The truth is, I had no idea what our wedding would look like. I never even met the organizer. I felt awkward asking Chase about it since the one time I did, he simply said it would be the grandest wedding ever.Our wedding became the talk of the nation. The proposal video Chase planned went viral, so people eagerly anticipated the event. Adding to the buzz, TAC Group of Companies officially introduced Chase and Chelsea as the heirs of their massive empire. Because of this, I often felt eyes watching my every move. Whether entering or l

LEXI'S POVWhile Chase and I were in the car, I stayed silent. I just stared out the window as he drove seriously. I could hear him sigh occasionally, and I felt like he kept glancing at me. I didn't look back at him because I didn't want to talk to him just yet."About the pictures, I have already told my team to have them removed from all the sites," he broke the silence."Okay," I replied curtly."Look, Lexi. Those pictures were from the time she had me go to the bar. If you remember, that was also the first time you showed up to her as my girlfriend," he explained further.I shut my eyes tightly, still facing the window. "You don't have to explain everything, Grey. We're not really in a relationship."I tried to keep my voice from sounding bitter. I tried not to show any emotion because I didn’t want to confuse him with my behavior. After all, we were just pretending, so I shouldn't let those pictures affect me. They shouldn't disrupt our plan to get back at my sister."Lexi Ann,

THIRD POV"Really? My sister seems to be enjoying the attention you're giving her a little too much," Lexi said in a deep tone after Chase ended the call.Chase smiled slightly. "Let her be. It's actually better that she trusts me," he replied.His wife rolled her eyes at him and placed her spoon down. They were in the middle of their meal, as Chase had just returned to the house where he was hiding with Lexi."Wasn't it enough that you spent hours together at the bar? She didn’t even think about the possibility of someone seeing you two together, knowing that you’re her brother-in-law," Lexi said, shaking her head.Chase's smile widened. He was amused to see his wife annoyed at his plan to get closer to her sister, Shiela. He didn’t intend to tease her, but he couldn't help himself."Well, she’s actually not bad to talk to. I mean, she’s not like before when she was desperately trying to get my attention."Lexi abruptly stood up, causing Chase to rise as well. She glared at him, maki

THIRD POVChase pulled the car to a gentle stop in front of the Castillon residence. The night had stretched longer than expected, but neither he nor Shiela seemed to mind.“Thank you, Chase,” Shiela said with a warm smile as she turned to face him.Their conversation at the bar lasted nearly three hours. Shiela had taken the opportunity to talk with him extensively, grateful that, for the first time, he seemed open and willing to share parts of himself. She had not drunk too much and was careful to stay sober enough to savor their time together. Chase, too, had limited his drinks, knowing he had to drive. When he offered to take her home, she gladly accepted, leaving her car in the care of her friend, Jenny, the bar's owner.Chase exhaled before speaking, his tone serious. “Shiela, I don’t want to rush things. My wife just passed away. I don’t want to give you false hope.”Shiela shook her head gently. “I’m not in a hurry, Chase. What matters to me is that you’re finally talking to m

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
