We were just the two of us here so where the hell on earth could that noise come from?
“I think, it’s time for you to know what exactly happened yesterday, Aris…” Drey told me while covering her ears. The two of us were remained seated on the same deck.

ArisSandoval’s P.O.V.“Grow up, dude! Be a man and fight for your love, but as I think about it, how would you be able to completely fight for her if you are still thinking of a different woman? It’s just now or never or take it or leave it. You have to choose right away but you only have to choose one from them,” said Jerome when I asked him to give me some love advice.“Just remember that when you choose, you have to fully let go of the other&

ArisSandoval’s P.O.V.“By the way, have you already seen this?” Jerome asked as he changed the topic. He was busy browsing his cellular phone while I was busy analyzing my feelings. “You have to join here. With all the stress you’ve been dealing with—work, love life, and other stuff, I think, you have to loosen up. It’s already tomorrow so it’s better if I’ll register for you now! We still have time.”

Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.How come I remembered a scene that was entirely different from what exactly happened to us?My body shook with fear afterwards. I continued watching on the CCTV footage and I guessed, it helped me to completely sober up. I should focus while watching on the video and I must pay attention to every little thing that happened on that one enigmatic afternoon.My heart sank after seeing how Drey tried her best to reach and rescue me. I could say that she had a talent when it comes to different swimming strokes, knowing that her left ankle was hurt gravely. Gladly, the camera was still able to capture the part of the sea where both of our bodies slowly descended underneath with an interval of one minute.Seconds later, I heard from the recorded video the same ear-splitting and screechy howl that we both heard the morning before Drey left me here. Then, a spine-chilling sound of thunder followed shortly as it would badly rain. The whole scenery even became dark and blea

Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.I didn’t want to lie to Drey so might as well tell her everything. Despite how impossible the circumstances were, I was positive that she would believe me.Starting our relationship should mean building our complete trust for one another. I didn’t want to keep things from her because that might hurt her again and I wanted to fulfill my promise not to make her cry ever again. In just two days, I already made her cry twice. I would never make that mistake again for the third time.I was sure that she would do the same thing too. She would not lie to me either. She even exchanged that one romantic sunrise just to tell me the whole truth.And what did I do? I ruined everything over that wonderful morning but now, I would make it up to her. I was more than prepared to ask for her forgiveness—more than willing to enjoy unlimited sunrise with h

I twisted my lips after.She was one of the head journalists who would cover this year’s car racing game in Puerto Princesa. She asked me to become the muse who would signage the green flag during the gun start.

I glanced at him but he only winked at me with his dimples showing off.I scrolled endlessly and all I could see were different news and posts about the two of us. There was even a sponsored broadcast with a caption: Aris Sandoval was More Than A Winner with Drey Laxamana. I was about to dismiss it but I just didn&rs

Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 59: Be Still, My Heart
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. “My parents want to throw a night party even though it’s not really necessary.” Aris lightly scratched his head. I must admit that he looked so cute when his smile showed a hue of slight shyness—way too far from his conceitedness. “Hmm, don’t you like it?” I probed while fixing some of the loose bangs on his forehead. “Sort of. I was not a child anymore, but my mom insisted as if I would only turn twenty-one. You know I could not say ‘no’ to her, right?” “Yeah, I know. You loved her so much that you even named your resort after her favorite drink!” “Well, my next business would surely be named after you! I promise,” Aris teased me. “Hmm, surprise me! I’ve already told you that I’m hard to please.” I winked at him. “Soon, I will. But you know what? The most exciting part is that… they want to meet you and I think this is the best opportunity for you to meet them. I have already met your parents, so I guess it’s time for us to be legal on both sides. What do
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 58: Aris' Possessiveness
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. All my frowns and skepticism had suddenly faded away when I saw Aris delightfully wave at me. Adrenaline was coursing through my veins, and I felt so giddy. It was my decision not to see him for three days, and yet it felt like it had been three years already! Now, nothing could stop us—not even how my stupid mind could think of not seeing him again. My heart leaped up for joy, and my spirit had brightened as if I was not thinking of mystifying things a while ago. Those were all hushed, and all there was to know about… was how the current moment sparked. No more worrying about the past and no anxiety about the future. Given these, I could say that time was indeed luxurious. My heart would not stop from jumping ecstatically in the presence of him, and if I would not hold my chest now, it could come out anytime soon. The feeling was as if every fiber within me was vibrating with too much anticipation. Oh my God, those dimples are just too sexy to handle! His
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 57: Rampant Clatters
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. Melody is a ten-year-old kid who has gotten so close to me. She was only a six-year-old stray kid when her path led her to the orphanage. She had no parents, no food, and no shelter. But now, she is a consistent honor student and is already in Grade 4. It was another proof that your past could never define your future. “I just missed you,” she answered. I wasn’t seeing her right now, but I knew that Melody was pouting her lips. “Is it really me, or is it Nickos that you truly missed?” Now, it was my time to tease her. I knew for a fact that her face was getting rosy at the mention of my brother. She had a crush on Nickos. And every time my brother and I would visit the orphanage to give gifts, Melody would always hide from him after giving him a love letter—well, handed by another kid since Melody had no courage to face Nickos. Sadly, my brother didn’t feel the same way. It wasn’t because he didn’t like Melody at all, but because Melody was taller and Nicko
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 56: Quite Taken Aback
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.Seriously? I didn’t know how to react. I was just crying a while ago, but I was all-out smiling now. Nickos was not easy to read after all, and it made me think differently about him.Nickos wasn’t who I knew he was.My brother was just full of secrets. I might have only underestimated him, but he was unbelievably the clever one.Still smiling, I returned his diary inside his cabinet with a promise that I would not read the other confessions written there nor touch it again. I would not dare to flip a single page anymore if I would still want to retain Nickos’ trust in me.How I wished I didn’t leave suspicious marks at all. For that, I double-checked if the way I folded the banner was still the same as how it was before I spread it on the floor. But there was no way I would be totally sure.Now I know the reason why Charie called Mom a few days ago. Mom even told her not to tell me the truth and expect the reward as soon as possible. It was related to this large
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 55: Reincarnated Cupid
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.// July 19, 2016For the first time in history, Drey uploaded a live video on her Famebook account. She was with that Aris Sandoval in El Nido, Palawan.As far as I could remember, he was the same towering guy who stalked us in the airport three weeks ago, asking unstoppably about the mermaid painting that was hand-painted by my sister.The other people might not observe this, but from the video, I could see how Drey’s eyes were sparkling, and those made her look even more vibrant. Of all the people, I knew her and how she had always been around.It was the first time I saw her blissful eyes once more after her breakup with that nonsense, stupid and user Ivan. Today, I was able to notice the glow on her cheeks again, and my sister was so pretty, even though she had just woken up.The moment I saw how she responded to Aris and how she dragged me away back from the airport three weeks ago, there was something odd about it, but that only made me feel excitement towa
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 54: Silly Baby Brother
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.Stepping closer to Nickos, I almost knelt to level my height on him while gently messing with his jet-black hair. Fortunately, he wasn’t suspecting me of anything after seeing me in front of the bedroom door of our parents.Nickos was an intelligent kid, but when it came to his physique, I must admit that he was kind of smaller compared to other eleven-year-old kids. He was shy and would not easily join a peer of his classmates—absolutely an introvert.I wanted to believe that he was just a late bloomer, but Mom told me that Nickos was born with too many complications while living his first few months in an incubator. He was so tiny, and Nickos nearly died when he was just a toddler. For almost all his life, he was confined in a hospital room.My brother used to be a survivor way back then, and I hoped that he would get taller during or after his puberty stage. Who knows? There was always this phrase about ‘when puberty hits you hard,’ and it could apply to Nicko
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 53: The Right To Know
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.I found myself smiling on my bed like an idiot after my recollection. This smile holds lots of meaning and virtue because I had never been this happier. I did not want to compare, but Ivan did not lend time to play even once with my brother.For that, I loved Aris even more. I knew he was much better than the Aris I first encountered.He was much more than a plain Casanova. You could blame him, judge him, or even screw him for a thousandth time because of his damn massive ego and how highly he always thought about himself, but there was a hidden gem in his heart. At any rate, I was such a blessed woman to be able to bring that one out.Yes, he was one hell of a womanizer—but indeed—a womanizer with a heart. A heart with the purest intentions for me, now and for the next days to come. Truthfully, I thanked God because He used me as a medium to make Aris realize the real meaning of true love.Aris was a Casanova—the hilarious Casanova I learned to love despite what
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 52: Cryptic Pleasure
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. Several days had passed in an instant. Hours went by in a blur. Tomorrow would be Aris’ birthday and I still did not know what to do. It was as if I had no options to consider. I was too bemused. It felt like hammering my head over and over again—trying to think of what else could be my perfect gift for him, aside from the sphere-shaped black-pendant necklace I had already given him. It was given to me by Uncle Jim when he saw me crying on the day I left Aris in his El Nido villa. Uncle Jim said that it was his lucky charm throughout, and the said necklace would also bring me… true love. “Take this necklace and don’t lose it, Drey. No matter what, this will take you to the right path following true love,” Uncle Jim handed me a black-pendant necklace while I was seated in the front seat of our family car. I was crying, but I found the design awesome. Securing the necklace on my palms, I was controlling my tears from falling, but those were still freely stream
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 51: Just A Reminder
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. Had Dad lost the deal on purpose? I was not looking at my reflection in the mirror, but I was sure as hell that my face had been enveloped by a quizzical look. I did not doubt Aris’s skills, let alone his overconfidence and massive ego, but no one had ever defeated my father when it comes to playing golf. No one! Like Aris who was an all-time champion in car racing—well, minus the recent time—Dad was an all-time champion too. There was even a huge storage room here in our mansion that only contained all his trophies in golf. He literally conquered the golf world, I must say. No one could defeat him, and I would never even have any second thoughts that someone was already born to steal his legendary history. Then, I furrowed my forehead. But if the answer to my question was yes, then why? And what would be his reason for letting Aris beat the hell out of him when the latter was just a stranger he only met today? Me—being into the picture—wasn’t enough reason
