He shoved the folder towards his secretary.
“From what I remember, Sir, it was your father who ordered for this kind of revision. He said he wanted it to look more classic since it’s a heritage site and—”
“Fine.” He pulled the folder.
“Is there anything you need, Sir?” his secretary asked politely.
“Nothing. You can go back to your spot.”
“Alright, Sir. Call me if you need anything.”
Jan focused on his work again, but after a few seconds, Evan came in again.
“Sir.”
“What?” He said without raising his head.
“Your wife is here,” his secretary informed him.

“KATE.”She turned behind her. Jona was inside there, peeing.“Is there a problem?” She dried her hands with a paper towel and strode towards the door.“Do you have a pad with you?” her friend asked in a low tone. “My period came early, and I don’t have one right now.”“Oh, wait. Let me check my bag. I think I have one.”Kate came out of the restroom and went back to their classroom, where she left her bag. She took the sanitary pad that had been staying inside her bag for weeks now and gave it to Jona as soon as she came back.She then leaned against the sink as she waited for her friend to come out of the cubicle.“Jona, have you ever been delayed for four weeks or more?” Kate asked innocently.The door opened, and Jona sauntered towards her. Her friend grasped her shoulders.“Kate, you have a husband and a sex life. Why are you asking

SHE rang the doorbell to Natalie’s place and hugged herself when the cold breeze touched her skin. After a few moments, the gate finally opened. Natalie, adjusting her robe, emerged.“Kate? Oh, what are you doing here at this hour?” her friend asked, puzzled.“Could you please let me in first?” she responded with a trembling voice. The cold night and her emotions that were about to explode were to blame.“Oh, right. I’m sorry.” Natalie opened the gate wider.“Thank you,” she said as soon as she got in.Her friend grasped her arm and ushered her inside the house.“Have a seat. I’ll just go to the kitchen and get you something hot to drink—”“Do you have whiskey?” Her gaze reverted to the minibar near the living room.“Oh.” Natalie arched a brow. “Okay.” She headed to the minibar afterwards.Kate plopped

“WE should leave,” Kate told Jan when he did not move an inch after she hugged him. “I’m afraid someone might catch us trespassing here. This is private property.” She slowly freed him from her embrace and caught his hands. “Let’s go home now, Katherine.” Jan smiled and planted a soft kiss on her forehead before he ushered her out of the house. “Oh, shoot,” Kate said when they finally got outside. “What is it?” He halted and turned to her. “I brought Natalie’s car.” She gestured to her friend’s car that she parked across the street. “Don’t worry.” Jan knocked on his car’s windshield. His secretary got off from the driver’s seat. “Sir, Madam,” Evan greeted with a smile. “I’ll be driving her friend’s car. Follow us.” “Alright, Sir.” Jan held out his hand. “Key, please.” Kate fished the key from the pocket of his jeans and handed it to him. He then held her by the hand and tugged her across

Years ago… JAN heaved a deep sigh as he walked down the staircase. He strode all the way out of the house and ended at the garden where his father, Alejandro Villamar Sr., was hosting a party. It was not his birthday or anyone in the family. It was just that his father likes to throw a party whenever he wants. Of course, he has the money to do that. “Oh, there you are, Jan.” His mother beckoned him to come. “Oh, so this is your firstborn?” one of his mother’s friends asked when he reached them. “Yes. My youngest is just roaming around,” his mother replied with a broad smile. He smiled at them just like what his mom had taught him. “Good evening, aunties,” he said politely. “Oh… he is such a fine young man,” said another woman from his mom’s circle. “I wish I also have a son like him.” Jan’s mother pinched his cheek. “Mom

KATE was at school when she received a call from Jan’s mother. She has no classes, though. However, she was at the library with her classmates, doing a group activity.“Excuse me. I need to answer this.” She left her seat and went out of the library. “Mom,” Kate said the moment she answered the call.“Hi, Katherine. I called to ask if you’re free this afternoon. Maybe we can have lunch together and go shopping. Well… if you’re busy, it’s fine with me.”“Oh. Uhm…” She glanced at her wristwatch. “I’ll be free around two pm. Is that okay with you?”“Oh. Great! I’ll go pick you up at your place—”“Oh, Mom… I’m at school right now. I’ll just—”“I’ll pick you up at school then. Okay?”“Hm.”“See you later, Katherine. `Bye.” Jan&rs

KATE woke up with a long-stemmed red rose above Jan’s pillow. She sat up and picked up the card beneath the stem. It was the first thing that caught her attention when she opened her eyes since she was facing his side of the bed.Good morning. I’m sorry I had to leave so early. See you tonight.Love, Jan.She picked up the rose and brought it to her chest. Jan’s simple gestures always made her feel extra special now that he slowly opened his heart to her. She might not be his first love, his one great love, or someone he dreamed of spending his life forever, but he would always be the one she loves. Kate hoped he would learn to love her the way he had loved Isabela one day.Her gaze reverted to the door when she heard consecutive knocks.“Kate, dear… are you awake?” asked Nana Talia.“Oh. Yes, Nana.” She eased herself from the bed and saun

“WHO let my wife ride that fucking horse?”She woke up in a jolt upon hearing Jan’s voice roaring inside the room. After the accident, Kate was immediately rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, she did not get any major injury, but she strained her lower back, making it hard for her to move around. Now she was back at home, resting on their bed.“Miss Winona came this morning, and they went to the stables. I wasn’t there. I didn’t know who let her ride the horse. We just rushed there when Miss Winona informed us that my poor Kate fell from the horse,” her nanny explained calmly.Kate closed her eyes again when she saw Jan turning in her direction. She then heard him heave a sigh.“I’ll leave her to you now,” said Nana Talia.She then heard the hinges creaked when the door opened and closed.Kate felt the cushion move when Jan sat beside her. But she kept her eyes close and stayed sti

THE loud music, dancing strobe lights, and mixed scents greeted him when he got inside the club. Fernan heaved a deep sigh and sauntered towards the bar counter when he saw Winona waving at him. She was already holding a glass of margarita in one hand.He sat on the stool beside hers.“One whiskey on ice, please,” Fernan told the bartender.“You’re late,” Winona said with pouted lips.“I had to finish some work at the office before leaving.” The bartender shoved the glass of whiskey in his direction. “Thanks.”“Did you tell Jan to join us?” Winona propped a hand on her chin.“Yes.” He took a gulp of his whiskey. “Of course, he said no.”“Married life changed him. He’s no longer the Jan we all know.” Winona sipped her margarita. “Tell me I’m right, Fernan.” She nudged him to the side.He smirked. “Y

JAN checked in at the same hotel where his brother was staying. He emptied the envelope the moment they got it and looked at its content one by one. He caressed his chin and looked at her afterwards. “When did you get all of these, Katherine?” “Steel delivered them to me before your dad died. I… I decided to keep it hidden at my family’s ancestral house in the meantime.” “And are you carrying them now? Are you going to give them to my brother?” “No…” Kate shook her head and clasped her hands. “Winona called me. She told me there’s a possibility that you’ll come here to see your brother. And she was right… I have it with me because… I want to show it to you in front of your brother and—” “You don’t have to do that, Katherine.” Jan rose from his seat and sauntered towards her. he held her by the arms and looked at her straight in the eyes. “What’s between Fernan and me will remain between us. I don’t want you to involve yourself with that. Do yo

KATE was biting her nail anxiously as she paced back and forth in the living room.“Dear, could you please stop doing that? I’m starting to get dizzy seeing you pacing like that,” Nana Talia told her and sighed. She even lightly hit her leg with her cane.“I can’t help it, Nana… I’m worried why Angelique and Mom still haven’t arrived here at this hour!” She was almost hysterical when she said that. “Their plane landed at ten this morning. It was already two in the afternoon!”“Then why don’t you call Madam Martina and ask her where they are now instead of worrying here?” Her nanny leaned against her seat and massaged her forehead. “You’re not just making my head dizzy. Now it throbs.”“Right.” Kate fished her phone frantically from her pocket and called Jan’s mother.The other line kept ringing until she heard the operator say th

KATE was cooking fried rice in the kitchen when her nanny came in from the backdoor. She was followed by the cook, who carried the freshly picked crops from the vegetable garden.The cook rushed to her immediately. “Madam, you should’ve—”“No, it’s alright.” She flashed a smile and continued mixing the fried rice in the wok.Her nanny went beside her and nudged her to the side.“Your aura’s looking exceptionally happy today, dear. Did something good happen?” asked Nana Talia.“Well…” Kate turned off the stove. “Jan finally came out of the guestroom, and he requested some fried rice for breakfast, so I cooked for him.”“Oh!” Her nanny’s eyes glowed. “You did it, Kate! It worked!” Nana Talia tapped her back. “Well done, dear.”“Thank you, Nana.”She poured the fried rice into a bowl and

JAN’s mother decided to hold a one-day funeral for his father. After that, he was taken to his final resting place. Fernan did not show up, and Kate only heard from Winona that he had been locking himself inside his hotel suite and would not talk to anyone. She knew what he did was wrong, but then… she could not help but worry about him. Fernan’s situation was not easy, and there was a possibility that his mental state was at stake. She wanted to check on him, but a lot of reasons were holding her back. In the end, Kate decided not to see him and just wait until their paths crossed again. And as for her husband, Jan was another problem. He had been locking himself inside the guestroom. He has barely eaten a decent meal since his dad died and only filled his stomach with different liquors his hand would have a hold. The Villamar brother’s coping mechanism was too far from their mother’s. After her husband’s funeral, Madam Martina went on a vacatio

KATE was at the venue of their company’s commercial shoot that day. She left her phone in the car and eventually forgot to get it, for she was too occupied with supervising the shoot.“Is it alright if we retake that one? I think it will look better if we take the shot from the left angle. What do you think?” she told the director.“Oh, Katherine! You do have a good eye!” the director said after taking another look at the video they shot. “Let’s roll another take of this one.”The director immediately prepared for another shoot.She sat on a bench as she waited for the shoot to happen. That was when her secretary came to her, rushing.“Is there something wrong?” Bianca handed her her phone. “A call from your in-laws’ residence, Ma’am. It’s urgent.”“Hello…” Kate said nervously. Could it be that something happened to her husband again?

KATE hid the file folder in her family’s ancestral home before going to Jan’s parents’ place. She had to hide it somewhere far from everyone who must not see it in the meantime. She must keep the secret until the right opportunity to tell everyone comes. His family had been through a lot lately; she did not have the heart to add another problem.She dipped herself in the bathtub while enjoying a bottle of champagne, hoping that it would relax her mind and body. It was her only escape since she could not go somewhere far away to unwind.“This is one of the things that I miss about you.”Her gaze reverted to the door when she heard Jan’s voice. She found him leaning against the doorframe. His eyes were glistening with admiration as though she was the most beautiful woman in the world.“If you’re going to join me for a bath, please turn off the light.” She took a huge gulp of champagne.“And

KATE sipped her wine as she sat on the bench in the garden. She went there after putting her daughter to sleep. She thought some fresh air would help her feel sleepy, but it did not do much.“I told you, you should join me in bed from now on,” Jan said as he sat down beside her.“And then I’ll keep running back to Angelique before she wakes up in the morning? Nah.” She chugged down the remaining wine on her glass and put it down. “That set-up is hassle—”“Then perhaps you should teach her to sleep on her own….” He buried his face in her neck and sniffed her scent. “The bed feels so huge and lonely without you by my side.”Kate chuckled when she felt his tongue graze the sensitive flesh of her neck.“I didn’t know that your amnesia has this kind of—” He bit her neck. “Jan!”“Ssshhh…” He snaked his arm around he

SHE opened her eyes when she felt butterfly kisses showering her face. Kate smiled immediately when she saw it was Jan.“Good morning,” he said and kissed her deeply afterwards.Her brows furrowed when she realized that her husband was acting as though they did not argue last night. Was he too drunk last night and he did not know what he was doing? Did he already forget about it?“Tell me… have you forgotten what happened last night?”“Which of the two?” he countered.Kate pressed her lips firmly. Ah, it seemed that he did not forget about everything.Jan sat up and leaned against the headboard. He looked down at her, and his fingers started creating circles at her bosom. Kate closed her eyes and moaned softly. What he was doing was already arousing… for her.“I had a dream last night,” Jan said after a while.“About what?” She did not take her eyes off h

KATE stood by the foyer with her eyes fixed in the direction of the gate. She was waiting for Jan to come home. He left before sunset when she had just arrived from work. Jan did not mention where he would go, and she did not dare ask. But now, Kate’s anxiety was tearing her apart. She feared that her husband would not come back just like the last time.“Katherine?”She turned behind her and saw Jan’s mother walking in her direction.“Mom.” She managed to flash a smile.“What are you doing here, hmm?” Her mother-in-law caressed her arm.“I’m waiting for Jan, Mom.” Kate heaved a sigh and turned in the direction of the doorway again. “He left this afternoon and… I don’t know where he is.”“Jan told me he’s going to meet Winona.”She suddenly felt a pang of jealousy in her chest. Jan did not even remember his feelings for her. Wha
