Being left behind by the people she cherished, Lura Elise Abejero wants nothing but to end her suffering. Unfortunately, fate brought her broken self to the cold yet ravishingly hot business magnate, Lucio Gavin Cradford—not to fix nor save her but the other way around. After she lost the man she thought she would grow old with, she vowed not to love again. But her heart is indeed stubborn and rapidly beats for her boss. She hardly restrained herself from falling for him. But whenever his deep ocean blue eyes captured hers, all her walls stumbled down. In the end, she accepted defeat and took the risk for the second time. And even though loving him is not easy, still, she is happy. However, destiny was deliberately playful and bitter towards her. Because the man she thought that will make her whole again, will destroy her even more. She's already miserable— ten times than before, and then suddenly, a part of her past mysteriously came back. Would she still hold on to the man who broke her trust and took her love for granted? Or would she rather choose to bring back the love she had long forgotten?

Prologue

Prologue:

 

"Love, can you drop me off at Heavenly Memorial Garden?" I asked Yvo. 

We just had our lunch date as a mini celebration for our graduation today and now we're heading home.

"You'll visit Tito Lauro and Tita Elaine?" he queried while carefully maneuvering his car.

I felt a pang in my chest the moment I heard my parents’ name. It always stings whenever I recall my memories with them.

"Yes. I want to show them my diploma," I almost whispered.

All of a sudden, my heart felt heavy and I can feel my eyes tearing up.

"I’ll come—"

"No need, Love," I cut him off. "I promise you, I’ll be fine,” I assured him to ease his worry.

"Alright." He deeply sighed. "If that's what you want. Just be careful.”

I nodded. "I love you, Yvo," I sweetly uttered and gave him a peck on the lips.

“I love you more, Eli," he mumbled, planting a gentle kiss at the back of my hand that's intertwined with his.

I lost track of time and fall asleep, crying my heart out while talking to my parents. So, it was getting dark when I got home. I just took a quick shower because any minute from now Yvo will fetch me.

I wore a sheer long sleeve velvet sheath dress for his graduation party tonight which I paired with a silver stiletto. And as for my waist-length hair, I just laid it down freely. Then, I put powder on my face and pink lip balm for my lips so that I don't look pale.  

I still have fifteen minutes left before the clock strikes at six but I decided to go downstairs.

Minutes passed . . . until it became an hour. But no one came to fetch me. Yvor didn’t show up. 

My chest began to throb. I couldn't help but be nervous because he usually informed me ahead of time if ever something came up and that he can't make it on our date. But right now, he didn’t even beep me.

I picked up my phone and tried to call him but his number is out of reach! My breathing hitched. I'm worriedly sick. Negative thoughts keep flashing in my head.

I was about to stand up when I touched something and broke it. It was as if I had lost blood in my body and gasped for air when I looked at our picture that’s already on the floor and surrounded by shards of glasses.

My knees trembled at the same time as my heart was pounding so fast. Fear welled up in my chest because of the possibility that something bad might have happened to him. 

I mentally shook my head. N-no! It can't be—

I was startled when my cell phone suddenly rang. I quickly answered the call and didn't even pay attention to who it was.

"Hello?" I almost whispered, worried that my voice might break.

"L-lura..."

My heart pounded erratically the moment I heard his mom's voice on the line.

"Yes, Tita? Why did you call?"

My chest throbbed, even more, when I heard Tita Yna's weak sobs. She then took a deep breath as if she's struggling to speak up. 

"It's a-about my s-son," she hardly uttered which made my heart pounded triple this time.

"What about him, Tita? Is he still there? Is he okay?" I asked in succession, panicking. "I've been waiting for him for an hour now. I tried calling him but I can't reach his number.” 

The other line became eerily quiet and as the seconds passed by, my heart is slowly squeezing. 

"T-tita, answer me plea—"

Her sudden outburst cut me off.

"W-what's wrong, Tita? W-why are you crying?" I stuttered. Fear is starting to consume me. "Where's Y-yvor Sebastian?" My voice broke as I mumbled his name and my world shattered on what she declared.

"H-he's no longer with u-us, hija. H-he got into an accident. He . . . he’s g-gone."

I feel like my heart is tearing apart every time I go back to that night—the night I lose the man I loved so much. If I only knew that was the last time we can be together, I wouldn't have left his side. If only I had been given a sign that he would be taken away from me, I would have had shown him more how much I loved him. 

It's been a week and tomorrow is his funeral. But everything was still fresh to me. I can't accept the fact that he left me despite the promise he made.

He's all that I have. He is my only remaining strength. And now, he’s gone. He left me too. 

I covered my mouth when I couldn’t stop my sobs anymore, dropping the wine glass I was holding and it shattered on the floor. The tears that I had been holding back keep on flowing. 

I stumbled on the floor when my knees wobbled. I couldn’t feel the pain of the wound I’ve got from the shards that pierce through my skin. Because nothing hurts more than what I am feeling right now.

Why . . . am I alone again?

I’m damn tired. I want this pain to stop.

I stood up, trembling as drops of blood leaked from my arms and thighs as well as to my knees. Then, I slowly walked out of the house. With a blurry vision, I made my way to the Lastra's Mansion—where he lays. 

For the last time, I want to be with him. I want him to be the last person I’ll see when I doze off to sleep.

W-wait for me, my love . . . 

"What the fuck, woman?! Are you insane?!”

A cold baritone voice echoed in my ears but I couldn’t recognize who it was. I was too tired to even open my eyes.

“Hey! Are you alright?"

No, I'm not. I badly want to rest . . .

. . . in peace.

Chapter 2
 Chapter 2: Boss-   I faced the full-length mirror here in my room to check if I look presentable. I chose to wear a stretch grey sheath dress paired with a three inches stiletto. While I just let my ash brown wavy shoulder-length hair flows down as it is. I smirked. I'm good but I look pale. I took a deep breath then put some lip-tint on my lips. When I’m already satisfied with how I look, I went downstairs and said goodbye to my Aunt. I had booked a taxi earlier that is now waiting for me at the gate. “At the BXU Complex please,” I told the driver and he just nodded at it. I planned to continue my job-hunting today. I hadn't done that anymore yesterday because of what happened in the coffee shop. But I woke up this morning as I received a call from someone, informin

  Chapter 3: Words -       Damn! Is this a coincidence or someone’s playing a trick on me?!   I want to convince myself that I'm just hallucinating and he's not the one I am seeing right now.    But heck! It's him. That arrogant guy at Q's Caffee.    Of course, there's a possibility that he's also working here because he’s a relative of the HR head in this company. But I never thought he will be this big.   God! He's the CEO! And sooner, he will be my boss!   I can't help myself not to panic upon knowing the fact that I'll be working under him. I'm worried if I could handle being with him in my entire career.   Why of all people it should be him? Can't it be someone who is

Chapter 4
 Chapter 4: Blow  The next day, I was still drowsy leaving home for the signing of a contract and my first day of work at Cradford Corporation and Industries. My future boss hardly put me to sleep thinking about the last thing he said yesterday before I left his office. It's annoying that we only met just recently but he already got me affected by his presence. What more if I started my job as his executive assistant? We will be together most of the time.  I heaved a deep breath out of frustration. I'll just cross the bridge when I get there.  When I arrived at C.C.I Tower, I immediately went straight to the Human Resource Department. Fellice was already in Miss Soren's office waiting for me. Her voice woke me up this morning, telling me about the contract and that I'll be starting today.

 Chapter 5: Hotdog   "Hey, beautiful. . .Good morning!" Fellice greeted me when we bumped in the lobby. I greeted her back. Then we took the elevator up to our floors together. We were the only two on board because it was still early. I intend to come to work at his hour because I didn’t want to be crowded in the elevator. It is dangerous for my swollen foot. "Why are you walking so slowly? What happened to your foot?" the woman beside me whispered worriedly as she stared at my bandaged foot. I heaved a deep sigh. "I sprained it yesterday," I replied timidly.&nb

  Chapter 6: Trey       Both of us were just quiet the whole ride. His full attention was fixated on the road while I looked outside the window of the car—watching the scenery we passed by. Until I felt my eyes becoming heavy. Then, eventually, I fell asleep.   "Hmm," I hummed and slowly opened my eyes when I heard a clicking sound.   I softly rubbed my eyes to get my vision back because it was a little bit hazy. Then I slowly turned around to the driver's seat. But I was stunned to see that the person sitting beside me was gone. When I looked outside, I immediately spotted my boss who is now at the entrance of a Chinese restaurant.

  Chapter 7: Desire       We are now at the basement of the C.C.I tower where the parking space is located. He slammed the door of the car shut as he got out. I don't know what made him disgusted or angry. I just brush it off and went out of the car.   When we headed to the elevator, I thought we are going directly to his office. But I was surprised as we stopped at the infirmary.   What is he going to do here? Is he sick?   All of a sudden, I felt anxious. I was about to ask him when he quickly turned his back on me. I could do nothing but follow him.

 Chapter 8: Gentle  “What the fuck are you doing?” I quickly opened my eyes and automatically stood up when I heard his cold baritone voice. It's firm and I can sense danger in its tone. That's why my heart is pounding so fast.  Suddenly, I was sweating cold. I just bite my lower lip as my hands were shaking. Even my knees softened. I felt like I was a criminal who get caught doing something illegal and unethical. I looked away. “S-sir. . .a-ah. . .I. . .” I stuttered, unable to find an exact word to say. Then sec
