"For the last time, Isabel, relax… I won’t bite you, at least not yet."

Seth told her once again.

Izzy couldn't tell if his tone was irritated or if he was just naturally serious.

She couldn't really blame him, especially since the farther they got from the hospital, the more uneasy she felt. She was almost out of breath from holding it in due to anxiety.

Why did this man affect her so much? She knew she lacked confidence when interacting with other people, but it had never been this intense before—so much so that she could almost hear the loud pounding of her heart.

Faith let out a deep sigh as she tried to distract herself by looking out the car window. Izzy, on the other hand, could feel the numbness creeping into her legs and back due to her uncomfortable sitting position. She still couldn’t bring herself to rest her back against the luxurious seat of Seth Santiago’s car.

"Ayyy, you horse!"

She shouted quite loudly when the car suddenly stopped, almost causing her to lurch forward

    "Are you a monster or something ?""Are you a monster or something ?"Seth couldn't help but smirk as he remembered what the woman following him had said earlier."What the hell is she thinking?"He shook his head, talking to himself, trying hard to resist the temptation to glance at her.They had just arrived at his large house. As soon as the car entered the gate, he could see the mixed astonishment and curiosity on Isabel Vergara’s face.Seth couldn’t really blame her, especially since he had taken her to a different house the previous day.Seth had so many properties, and the condo where he first accommodated Isabel Vergara was just one of many.When they reached the main living room, Seth suddenly stopped walking, feeling a momentary irritation when something bumped into his back a few seconds later."Seriously, how clumsy could this woman be?"He asked himself in frustration, trying to calm down. But his annoyance returned when he turned around to face her, only to be met with h

    Izzy's already pale complexion almost lost all color when she heard what Seth Santiago had just said.She swallowed hard as she saw the dangerous smirk on his lips, accompanied by his sharp, piercing gaze.“I-I don’t h-have—”“Relax… I have no intention of collecting from you right now. I know you’re not prepared for whatever reason. Besides, I want my woman to be game and willing. From what I can see now…”Izzy bit her lower lip hard when he deliberately left his sentence hanging before smirking again. She instinctively took a step back as he approached her and gently traced her trembling lips with his fingers.She felt as if her heart would explode at any moment, overwhelmed by a mix of fear and anxiety, made worse by the way he was intensely staring at her.Isabel Vergara… What have you gotten yourself into?She silently asked herself, squeezing her eyes shut as she felt his hand trail from her lips down to her neck.She thought that was as far as he would go, but she gasped sharpl

    Izzy didn’t know how she managed to last in that house—Seth Santiago’s house—for even a few more hours. She didn’t even know how she managed to swallow the delicious food laid out on the table after hearing his response to her earlier."You are way too expensive only to be thrown out, Isabel…"Izzy exhaled sharply when, out of nowhere, she once again heard Seth’s voice in her mind.He was right. She was worth one and a half million pesos. No sane person would throw away that kind of money.Izzy let out a bitter smile as she forced herself to remember that she was doing all of this for her mother.At least her mother was okay now. All she had to think about was how to escape from Seth."We probably won’t see each other again…"She muttered absentmindedly before choosing to turn her gaze toward the car window."I hope not…"She murmured again, this time louder than before, which caught the attention of Seth’s driver.Izzy forced a smile when the driver glanced at her, as if wondering wh

    Izzy let out a deep sigh after reading the text message. She didn’t even need to ask who sent it—there was only one person who ever messaged her like this: Seth Santiago.She rolled her eyes as she reread the message, then chose to shove her phone into her pocket.“Your boss won’t lose his mind if I ignore his text, right?”Izzy said, deliberately raising her voice so the person on the other end could hear her.She rolled her eyes again when the driver didn’t even glance at her.“We’re here.”A moment later, she heard Mang Robert’s gruff voice.Instead of responding to Seth Santiago’s grumpy driver, Izzy chose to quietly open the car door and quickly step out.“I’ll go ahead, Manong. Thanks for the ride. Please let Sir Seth know I got back to the hospital safely.”She said cheerfully, rolling her eyes when the driver simply stared at her.“Nice talking to you… You know, talking once in a while won’t kill you.”She shook her head, falling silent when the driver shot her an unimpressed

    Two weeks passed quickly, and Izzy suddenly realized that her mother was finally being discharged from the hospital.She still wasn't completely healed, but even a little improvement was better than before the operation.A wide smile spread across Izzy’s lips as she approached her mother, who was now able to sit up.“Did you pack up all our things, dear?”“I’m all done, Mom. We’re just waiting for Uncle to return, then we’ll be leaving soon.”She answered cheerfully while adjusting the shawl her mother was wearing.“That’s good. I really just want to go home… Oh, by the way, dear, have you called Sir Santiago again? When he visited, I told him I’d let him know as soon as we were discharged.”Izzy grimaced at her mother’s question, unsure of how to respond, so she forced a smile.Besides not knowing whether she should even call the man, the last time she saw Seth was the day he visited the hospital. That was also the last time she heard anything about him.Izzy wanted to believe it was

    "Ayy, do you have a date later?"Izzy almost jumped in shock when her friend suddenly peeked from behind her.She immediately shot her a glare."Pating! What the heck? Since when did you become so nosy?""Hey! Correction, it's nosy girl… I'm a woman, okay? And FYI, it wasn’t intentional. I just saw you staring at your phone like you were about to poop, so I couldn't help but take a peek."She said dramatically, even putting her hands on her waist."Eh… It's nothing, just ignore it. Pretend you didn't see anything."Izzy replied, quickly shoving her old cellphone into her pocket."Nothing, huh? Someone asked you out, didn’t they? Who is it? Don’t tell me it’s Papa Carl, because there’s no way he would text you like that."Pating pressed on, making Izzy let out a deep sigh before rolling her eyes."It's really nothing, and it’s not a date, okay? The person just wants to meet up, maybe they just have something to say.""'Just have something to say,' but the message said—'Let’s meet, late

    It was impossible to paint the expression on Seth’s face as he impatiently waited for the woman he had sent his driver, Robert, to fetch.He had already glanced at his expensive watch multiple times, shaking his head every time he saw the time.It was too late to meet with that woman now. Whatever reason Isabel Vergara had for ignoring his calls all day had better be good enough to satisfy him.Seth exhaled heavily before dropping onto the single-seater sofa in his living room. Annoyed, he grabbed the whiskey glass on the center table, swirling the liquid in his hand before downing it in one gulp.If someone asked him why on earth he wanted to see that woman this late, Seth wouldn’t have an answer. What was it about her, anyway?Aside from being overly innocent, unsophisticated, and clearly someone who had grown up on the streets based on her demeanor and speech, he couldn’t seem to shake off the urge to have her close to him.Isabel Vergara was nothing like the women he could easily

    Seth's smile deepened as he looked at Izzy, trying to suppress a laugh at her evident discomfort. He knew exactly why she was hesitant, and it wasn't the first time he'd encountered someone who felt out of place in such a lavish setting. However, his expression softened, his voice low and reassuring."You don’t need to worry about money, Izzy," he said, leaning slightly forward as his eyes locked onto hers. "I invited you here because I wanted to. No need to be shy about it."Izzy, still blushing from embarrassment, tried to find the courage to lift her gaze, but her eyes remained focused on the table. The thought of the hefty bill looming over her made her heart race even faster."I-I didn’t mean to…," she stammered, still not quite sure how to react.Seth’s voice was steady, almost amused, but there was a warmth behind it that made Izzy pause. "You’re with me tonight. And when you’re with me, the last thing you should worry about is paying for anything. Just relax and enjoy the even

    Izzy could only stare at herself in the large mirror in front of her. She couldn't help but marvel at her own appearance.“See? You’ll be the star of the party later… Whoever gave you these things knew exactly what he was doing… That gown looks amazing on you, Izzy…”Andrea said to her with a big smile. She was the one who styled Izzy, while Margaux did her hair.“I still think straight hair would have been better, we should’ve kept it all natural.”Margaux said with a pout.“Come on, your curls look fantastic, it’s still straight, just curly… ”Andrea laughed.“I don’t know, I still think straight looks better... Ohh, and I kept thinking, I’m sure that the person who gave you the gown and everything else will also be there.”“The party?”Andrea asked, raising an eyebrow. Margaux smirked.“I mean yeah, no sh*t the guy knew about the party, I bet he’d be there later… Do you think he would go through the trouble of giving you such a beautiful gown and jewelry if he wasn’t? The guy will

    Izzy didn't know how many minutes she had been staring at the gifts she received from Seth. She didn’t know what else to think, because no matter how hard she tried, there was only one option she knew.To refuse them.But how?She asked herself, unconsciously sighing as she shifted her gaze to the card she was still holding. She wasn’t sure what to do, so she just stuffed it in her pocket along with the phone.Before she could figure out what to do with them, a rapid knocking on her door caught her attention. It opened before she even had the chance to hide the gown and jewelry.“Holy mother of cheese! Where the hell did you get all this stuff, Izzy?”Andrea exclaimed, her eyes wide. She was one of Carl’s sisters. She was a few years older than Izzy, but she was more bubbly and had a bit of a flair.“No sh*t, you got all this… I’ve been looking for this gown forever!”She said, amazed. Izzy didn’t realize that Andrea had already approached the bed where the box was.“Oh God, and the b

    "Are you okay? You look weird..."Carl asked Izzy with a furrowed brow as they ate. She pretended to roll her eyes."Weird? What are you talking about? I'm fine. Just thinking."She said, grabbing her glass of orange juice from the table."Are you still thinking about your mom, Hilda?"Carl asked, concerned. Izzy forced a smile and nodded slowly."S-she's never left my mind, Carl."She replied.How could she tell her friend that besides her mother, she couldn’t stop thinking about the man who was hiding in the bathroom earlier.Seth Santiago was probably furious with her, especially since she promised she would talk to Carl quickly."Izzy, stop wasting your energy thinking about that man. He's old enough to take care of himself. He’s probably already gone by now, right?"She mentally berated herself, wincing at the thought.But what if he was still there, waiting?Izzy let out a frustrated sigh, unconsciously shifting her gaze to the road leading to the hotel room they were staying in

    Izzy's eyes snapped open at the sound of a rapid knocking on the door. She was about to get up to answer it when she stopped short, noticing the heavy arm draped across her waist.Nervous, she cautiously glanced at the man beside her, momentarily forgetting how they had fallen asleep. Despite her worry about whoever was outside, she couldn’t help but smile as she briefly admired his handsome face. He was sound asleep, his features peaceful and serene, a stark contrast to his usual stoic expression.She spent a few moments gazing at Seth Santiago, only moving when she heard the insistent knocking again. Izzy’s eyes quickly shifted to his strong arm around her waist, her mind racing. Should she wake him up? Or should she try to slip out, knowing that whoever was outside wouldn’t be able to see Seth Santiago in her bed?Izzy let out a frustrated sigh and looked at the door.“It’s too early for the party, Isabel. You still have time to rest… Let him think that you’re still sleeping.”Seth

    Izzy felt like her lips were about to bleed from how hard she was biting them, struggling to breathe as she met Seth Santiago’s intense gaze.She had no idea how many minutes had passed since she said those words to him, yet he remained silent, just staring at her.I’m ready to pay you back, Seth Santiago...Who was she kidding? She knew deep down, even if days, weeks, or months passed, she would never truly be ready. And Seth knew it too.Otherwise, he wouldn’t be looking at her like that.Flustered and humiliated, Izzy finally broke eye contact."Hey..."Seth’s voice was low and tender. Before she could turn away completely, he gently caught her chin, forcing her to face him again.Izzy tried to muster a smile."I-I know what you’re thinking... That maybe I'm just saying this because I'm overwhelmed by everything I’m feeling right now..."She whispered, barely able to hold his gaze."And... aren't you?""I... I don't know..."She muttered, eyes darting away again, focusing instead o

    Welcome to my hotel, baby girl…Izzy couldn’t respond after hearing the deep, baritone voice of the man. Instead of answering, she remained silent, trying to avoid his lingering gaze.“Cat got your tongue?”He asked with a grin while slowly walking closer. Izzy unconsciously stepped back, feeling as though she were facing a long-time, dangerous adversary.“Don’t make it obvious that you don’t want to see me…”He said, almost pouting, accompanied by a slight frown, which made it impossible for Izzy not to smile faintly.“I-I don’t mean it like that... I-I just didn’t expect to see you here…”She lied.Who exactly was she fooling? After all, from her house to the ride to the hotel, the thought of Seth Santiago—the man in front of her and her best friend’s uncle—was one and the same.And now, she didn’t need to think anymore, the answer was right in front of her.Izzy bit her lower lip, realizing she couldn’t retreat any longer, especially when she nearly sat on the bed to avoid him.“I-

    Izzy had already disembarked from the plane she and Carl boarded on their way to Cagayan, but the nervousness still wouldn't leave her. She couldn't help but think—What if the Seth Santiago, Carl's uncle, and the Seth Santiago she knew were the same person?How would that be, Izzy?She asked herself, letting out a heavy sigh, which immediately caught her best friend's attention.“Are you okay?”Carl asked, furrowing his brow, but Izzy quickly nodded and forced a smile.“I’m fine… Why?”“You sighed so deeply, like something was bothering you. We’re here in Cagayan now, Izzy… We’ll be here for at least four days, and I don’t want you to worry about anything. This is a vacation, so I just want you to enjoy and relax here.”“That’s a long speech…”She pouted jokingly, not content and even gave him a playful glare before speaking again.“And yes, I know… I know that you brought me here so that I can forget about Mom, but don’t worry, I’ll try to enjoy our trip here in Cagayan. And I’m fin

    On a Saturday, Izzy had no classes, but even so, she still woke up early. It was only around 4 AM, and she had already showered and was ready to leave for the coffee shop where she worked. However, just as she was about to leave the house, she immediately received a text from her friend and coworker, Gina."Good morning, I'm on duty today and I know you're already awake. Boss asked me to tell you that you don’t need to go to work for the next few days, and don’t worry, your leave is paid."Izzy immediately frowned when she read that text. For other people, they might have been jumping for joy at the thought of a few paid days off, but not Izzy. She would rather work herself to exhaustion than stay idle at home all day."I'll just remember you, Mom, I'll just get hurt again..."She said this quietly to herself, then sighed loudly before going back inside the house.She threw her sling bag carelessly somewhere, then slumped down onto the small cot made from old plywood.It was Saturday,

    "Isabel Vergara, what’s going on with you? You’ve been playing with your food for a while now, and lunch break is almost over but you still haven’t eaten."Carl scolded her, and Izzy let out a deep sigh, setting down her utensils."I just don’t feel like eating…"She replied weakly and looked down."I know you don’t feel like eating, but you need to eat. You need food to have some energy, at least.""I’m sorry... Th-thank you for the delicious food, but I really don’t have an appetite. No matter how much I try, it feels like my stomach doesn’t want to accept it."She replied, lazily grabbing the glass of cold water beside her."Izzy, it’s been two weeks since we buried Mom Hilda. I’m not going to nag you anymore about how you’re forcing yourself to work and attend classes at the same time because I know you won’t listen. And I understand why you’re pushing yourself so hard, I also know that you’re still grieving, but you need to move on… And starving yourself isn’t helping."Carl cont
