DREW’S POV

I took a long swig of my drink, the burn of the alcohol barely registering anymore.

No fucking way am I letting that happen.

She was mine now.

And I’d be damned if I let some other bastard take her away from me—especially my cousin.

Luke will have to step over my dead body first before he gets Lexie back.

I wouldn’t let go of the momentum I had with her. Not after everything.

I had too much to lose now.

I shouldn’t have let her in my life if I knew I’d be this terrified of losing her.

No.

I wasn’t backing down.

"Drew?"

I looked up at the sound of her voice, instantly sobering.

That soft, angelic voice I could recognize anywhere.

Lexie.

I blinked, my lips curving into a slow smile as she walked toward me. "Hey, beautiful," I greeted, my voice hoarse from the alcohol.

Her brows furrowed instantly. "Are you drunk?"

I quickly shook my head, but the motion made my vision tilt. Shit.

"No," I slurred slightly, forcing a grin. "Just… tipsy, I guess."

Her frown deepened as she eyed

    DREW’S POVI pressed my lips against hers again, stealing another kiss like a man starved. *God, I could never get enough of her.* *"Yes,"* I rasped against her mouth, my voice low and rough. *"And just so you know… that’s impossible."* Her brows furrowed slightly. *"What do you mean?"* she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I smirked wickedly, brushing my thumb along her bottom lip. *"Simple,"* I drawled. *"We both have the same taste… in women."* She blinked slowly, clearly not following. But then, after a beat, her eyes widened in shock. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she groaned dramatically, covering her face with both hands. *"Oh my god…"* she mumbled into her palms. *"I’m such an idiot. I can’t believe I acted like a jealous psycho."* I laughed, a deep, throaty sound, and gently pried her hands away from her face. *"Don’t you dare hide from me,"* I teased, planting soft kisses along her knuckles. *"I’ve missed you too much to let you do that."*

    Lexie's Point of View"Ahh... Ahh...! Shit—"Ni wala nga kaming commitment and hindi ko siya boyfriend Pero heto siya, nasa harapan ko, at at kahit alam kong mali, wala akong magawa kundi hayaang angkinin niya ako.He's just my fubu—no labels, no commitments,—just pure pleasure.Never ko na-imagine na aabot ako sa ganitong point. Kung malaman 'to ni Dad? Putcha, baka atakihin na lang bigla sa puso at baka itakwill nako I was raised to be the 'perfect daughter'—reserved, conservative, waiting for the 'right man' to put a ring on my finger. Pero 'yung dating ako? Matagal nang naglaho. as in wala! alana!'Ano, Lexie? are you tired naba?'"Drew smirked as he kept moving, those sharp blue eyes locking onto mine like he owned me. His voice dripped with amusement, obviously enjoying the way I was panting under him. "Wag mong sabihin na your tired? 'Cause, babe, you're not getting any sleep tonight."I shot him a glare, trying to ignore the way my body trembled from his movements. Damn it, s

I can't even feel the lower half of my body!""Susuko ka na ba agad, Lex?" he teased, Calix chuckled while wiping himself with a tissue from the nightstand , his tone full of amusement. "Sabihin mo lang, I won't judge. Alam ko namang hindi ka pa sanay sa ganitong gawain."I peeked at him from my fluffy pillow, eyebrows furrowing. "Excuse me? Sinabi ko na sayong kaya kitang sabayan, diba? Bigyan mo lang ako ng isang minuto para makahinga, naanggg mapatunayan ko sayong mali ka."He smirked before stretching out his hand toward me. "Oh yeah? We'll see. But for now its time to get up, little miss. Time to wash."I groaned, flipping onto my stomach and burying my face into the pillow. "Teka lang be kalma mo Hindi ko pa nga nararamdaman yung legs ko! Jusko naman, that was intense! First time kong natapos 'til the end while I was on top, tapos gusto mo agad round thr

    SEVERAL MONTHS AGO...Lexie's Point Of ViewGrabe. Tangina, ang tanga ko.As in, anong level ng katangahan 'to lex!? Like, sino bang matinong tao ang pupunta sa kasal ng lalaking minahal niya—just to watch him marry the love of his life? That's literal emotional torture. At yet, here I was, standing in the middle of a picture-perfect beach wedding, pretending like I wasn't completely falling apart inside.The ceremony was lowkey perfect—intimate, classy, at parang kinuha straight pa sa interest. Veltranos Private Beach, na pagmamay-ari ng Family ng groom, set the vibe with waves crashing softly in the background habang nag-e-exchange sila ng vows. grabe naman and pag ka aesthetic ng moment, pero damn, ang sakit din panoorin.Alam kong maling-mali na nandito pa ako. Kahit si Dad, ilang beses na akong pinagsabihan. "Anak, sinasaktan mo lang sarili mo," he said, halos nagmamakaawa na huwag ito na akong dumalo. Pero ayun nga ang tigas ng ulo ko. Ang sabi ko sa sarili ko, "Wala namang m

    I swallowed hard. His voice was deep, carrying a certain warmth in his tone that I couldn't quite explain. Pero mas kinilabutan ako nang mapansin kong hindi pa rin niya binibitawan ang kamay ko kahit pilit ko nang hinuhugot ito mula sa pag kaka-hawak niya."My hand, Mister Drew," I said firmly, giving him a pointed look. Like, bruh—handshake pa ba 'to o holding hands na?And then, finally, my drunken brain caught up to what he had just said. "Wait—paano mo nalaman name ko?"Finally, he let go. But it was weird—parang may dumaloy na kuryente mula sa kamay ko, a sharp jolt that left a tingling sensation. Napakunot-noo ako at kinusot ang palad ko, trying to shake off the lingering feeling. Pero siya? Walang reaction. He just took another shot of his drink, finally looking away for the first time since our conversation started.Napailing ako, sabay buntong-hininga. "Alam mo, bastos 'yung hindi sumasagot sa tanong ng iba."He glanced at me, his expression unreadable—or maybe I was just too

Pero mas nagulantang ako nang maramdaman kong may mali—like, something felt seriously off..Wait lang…Parangg may mali...Bakit ang bigat-bigat ng katawan ko? And why does it feel so sore… down there?Napakurap ako, then I looked around the room. Putcha, this isn’t my room. Minimalist setup, all neutral tones, with a faint smell of expensive cologne and alcohol. Shit. Shit. Shit.Napalunok ako as a realization slowly started creeping in—one that I seriously didn’t want to accept.Mabilis kong hinablot ang kumot, covering my body. Please lang, huwag naman sana. Please tell me this isn’t what I think it is.Slowly, I turned to my left.Oh. My. Freaking. God.Isang lalaki ang nakahiga ro’n—topless, messy ang buhok, at pilit nitong inaabot ang kumot na hinatak ko. Napako ako sa akingg pwesto, staring at hi

Napa-facepalm ako, sabay iling nang mariin. "No way. You're not doing that. I'd rather go undies-free, then, thank you very much.""Chill," he drawled, looking totally unbothered. "I know she's your friend, and I'm not gonna tell her it's for you. Besides, she's used to me borrowing clothes and… other stuff every now and then."I blinked, processing his words. "Wait… Are you saying you've done this before?"He just shrugged, like it was no big deal. "Yeah. I mean, not all the time. Just when I, you know… accidentally rip their clothes or underwear during the night."My jaw dropped. "That's crazy."Napapikit ako saglit bago umiling. "No, you're insane. Naiintindihan mo ba kung gaano ka-barbaric 'yun? Paano kung favorite dress nila 'yun?"Ngumisi siya, halatang aliw na aliw sa reaction ko. "Actually, they loved it. Sabi nila mas

    DREW’S POV"So, what’s the plan? You gonna drink yourself to death or are you finally gonna spill?"I shot Love a sharp glare as she slid onto the barstool beside me, looking way too amused for my liking. Her French accent was faint, barely noticeable now, but her smugness? Yeah, still there."Shut up," I muttered before downing another shot.Instead of being intimidated, she smirked and swirled her drink lazily. "You know, last time we talked, you were practically floating. Going on and on about how you finally had the girl you’ve been pining for all these years." She arched a brow.

    ### **Lexie’s POV** I glanced at my watch again. *Shit.* There was still time before the interview. I silently prayed that Drew would be late para hindi ako mapunta sa alanganing sitwasyon. I didn't understand why I was feeling on edge while waiting for Luke. *Baka nag-o-overthink lang ako,* I reasoned with myself. But just when I thought I could get away with it... *"Lexie. Sorry to keep you waiting."* Napapikit ako sa inis at napamura nang mahina sa isip ko. *Putangina talaga.* Of all the times, ngayon pa siya naging maaga. I slowly turned around and saw Drew walking towards me. His eyes were locked on mine, but there was a slight edge in them. *Great. Just perfect.* The last thing I wanted was for him to misunderstand the situation between me and his cousin. I forced a nervous smile. "You can pick the spot for the interview," I offered quickly, trying to avoid his eyes. *"I just need to meet someone first. It won’t take long, promise."* His eyes narrowed slight

    Lexie’s POVIt had been a week since I started avoiding Drew.Yeah, call me stupid, pero wala akong pakialam. The moment I realized I was slowly falling for him, takot ang nauna. Takot na baka bumagsak na naman ako sa parehong bangin na pinaglaglagan ko noon.I had to remind myself: You’ve been here before, Lexie. You already loved one Veltrano and it nearly destroyed you.And now? History was repeating itself—with his cousin.It made me wonder if it was just some cruel coincidence or if the stars were just being assholes, making sure I’d fall for men who were related to each other.Pero bago pa mahulog nang tuluyan, I decided to protect myself. Before another Veltrano broke me.I had to. Drew never promised me anything. From the very beginning, this was just a no-strings, carefree affair. There were no talks of forever, no commitment, just fleeting moments in each other’s arms.And when he decided to walk away—which he eventually would—I’d be the one left nursing the scars.So, kahit

    Lexie’s POVBigla akong natigilan. I knew he was just teasing, but the way he phrased it made me feel like he was digging for something. I let out a nervous laugh. “Not exactly. I just needed some time away.” “Right,” he mused, but there was a knowing look in his eyes. “Well, whoever he is, he has an interesting taste in gifts. Ares, the god of war, for your boss? Sounds like a challenge.” Napangiti na lang ako, trying to play along. “Or maybe he just thought you’d appreciate something unique.” “Hmm. I’ll take that as a compliment,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “Anyway, I should let you get back to work. Thanks for the gift, Lexie. It was unexpected but… amusing.” I nodded, watching as he stood up. “You’re welcome, Mr.—I mean, tristan” He grinned before walking out of my office, leaving me exhaling in relief. That was close. “Anyway,” he continued, “the reason I came to your office is that I heard from Kimberly that you’re friends with Drew Spiridakou. Is that tru

    Lexie’s POV That man had hovered the entire time, making sure I didn’t suddenly backtrack on our so-called agreement and start chasing after Luke again. Minsan feeling ko wala talaga siyang tiwala sa’kin pagdating sa pinsan niya. Kahit ilang beses ko nang sinabing wala na ‘yon, parang convinced pa rin siya na isang maling galaw ko lang, babalik ako kay Luke. “…Lexie?” Napatingin ako bigla kay Mr. Tristan, snapping out of my thoughts. I realized too late that I had zoned out. I forced a chuckle, shaking my head. “Ah, yeah. It was… eventful, to say the least.” Mr. Tristan chuckled, leaning back. “That sounds like a loaded answer.” “Let’s just say it wasn’t the peaceful vacation I imagined.” He nodded knowingly. “Family can be… unpredictable.” Unpredictable? That was an understatement. Kung alam lang niya. My trip home turned into an emotional battlefield, and Drew had been right at the center of it—watching my every move, making sure I didn’t slip up and

    I took a sip of my iced coffee, refusing to acknowledge his presence. But even without looking, I could feel it—the way he kept glancing at me every now and then. It was annoying. Worse, it was making me feel things I had no business feeling. Habang nag-uusap si Dionne at ang kapatid niya, kunwari akong abala sa pagtingin sa tanawin sa harapan namin. Pero ang totoo? Every single word ng usapan nila, rinig na rinig ko. “That’s odd,” Dionne said, crossing her arms. “Who are you meeting today?” Drew shot her a glare. “Why are you being nosy today? Just a while ago, you were talking crap about me to your friend.” “I did not!” she huffed, looking offended. “I heard you, woman.” His sharp blue eyes locked onto his sister before shifting briefly in my direction. Napakabilis ng pag-iwas ko. No way in hell was I making eye contact with him. Alam kong kapag nagtagpo ang mga mata namin, mahihila na naman ako sa bitag niya. And I refused to give him that satisfaction. “Don’t mind my

    Lexie’s POVDionne glanced around, making sure no one else was listening before continuing. “So, when he went home a few weeks ago, he was acting weird—always lost in thought, totally spaced out. I swear he was thinking about someone. Then, out of nowhere, he shows up here and actually attends the charity gala the other night? Like, hello? Since when does he willingly go to those things? And then—boom—he disappears again. He’s been acting suspiciously all weekend. I think he’s been bewitched by some girl.” I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my heart pounding so hard I swore she could hear it. Did she know? No, impossible. Also, I knew for a fact that her brother wasn’t in love with me, so her assumption was totally off. I forced myself to act casual. “Y-You think?” “I believe so.” My mouth suddenly went dry. No one in our families knew about our secret… whatever this was. “Well, if that’s true, shouldn’t you be happy for him?” Dionne rolled her eyes before slamming her palm o
