Her gaze flickered nervously between Vincent’s strikingly handsome face and their intertwined hands. His features were calm, yet there was a trace of curiosity in his expression, as though he was silently gauging her response. She could see the strength in his jawline and the softness in his eyes, a perfect blend that made her heart flutter uncontrollably.

She wanted to look away, to hide the confusion and nervousness she was sure were reflected in her own eyes, but her gaze kept being drawn back to him and the undeniable connection that seemed to radiate from his simple touch.

“What? Is there a problem?” Vincent’s voice broke through the silence, smooth and tinged with amusement.

The corners of his lips curled into a slight smile, and Isla wondered if he knew just how much of an effect he had on her. His tone wasn’t mocking but instead carried a genuine concern, and she couldn’t tell if that made her feel more at ease or more nervous. Her lips parted to answer, but for a moment, no

    "W-What? Me as your wife?" Isla stammered, her voice barely above a whisper, still in disbelief after hearing Vincent's words. Her heart raced in her chest, as if her entire body couldn’t process what he had just said. It felt surreal, like the world had paused, and for a moment, she wondered if she was dreaming. His words lingered in the air, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was about to change. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and she instinctively tried to break free from Vincent’s tight embrace. But his hold on her remained gentle, yet firm, like he was trying to reassure her.She couldn’t tear her gaze away from his eyes, feeling as if they held all the answers she didn’t even know she needed. The intensity in his stare seemed to pierce right through her, and her mind raced for something, anything, to say. But her words failed her.

  • SOFT CURVES   "LOVE IS LIKE THE HORIZON 2"

    It was as though her heart, so long closed off, had finally opened wide, and the emotions she had kept hidden were flooding out all at once. And maybe that was exactly why the tears kept flowing—not out of sorrow, but because she was so happy, so deeply touched by the love Vincent had given her, and by the love she had finally allowed herself to accept.Vincent cupped her face with his hands, his fingers gently tracing the soft curve of her cheeks. He leaned in slowly, as though savoring the moment, and kissed her lips with a tenderness that spoke volumes. It was a simple kiss, yet it carried so much weight—a declaration, an acknowledgment of everything that had passed between them. When he pulled away, his gaze never left hers, and his words followed, soft but filled with certainty. "I know, I know how much your love means to me," he said, his voice low and sincere. "And that is one of the many reasons why I fell in love with you too." The depth of his feelings was clear in every w

    The days seemed to blur together as time moved swiftly, and before Isla knew it, a month had passed since she and Vincent began their relationship.

True to their promise during that memorable night of heartfelt confessions, Vincent took the bold step of approaching Isla’s father to formally ask for his permission to accompany her to and from school. It was a gesture that not only surprised Isla but also deeply touched her, as it showcased Vincent’s sincerity and respect for her family’s traditions. This small yet significant change in their daily routine made her school days feel lighter and more special, knowing that Vincent was always by her side.

    The word—amazed—wasn’t enough to describe how Isla felt as her eyes took in the breathtaking sight before her. She stood frozen for a moment, her lips parting slightly in awe as she gazed up at the magnificent treehouse. It wasn’t just a structure—it was a dream made tangible, an enchanting retreat nestled among the branches of the towering tree. Crafted with warm wooden planks and adorned with delicate, intricate details, it seemed like something out of a fairy tale. Her heart swelled with emotion as she tried to comprehend the thought and effort Vincent had put into making this a reality for them. “Wow!” The single word slipped from her lips, carried on a breathless whisper. Her eyes sparkled as they roamed over every detail—the sturdy rope ladder, the charming windows that peeked out from the wooden facade, and the soft glow of string lights adorning the branches, giving it a magical, ethereal quality. She took a hesitant step forward, as if trying to convince herself that it w

    "I’ve always wanted to do this to you, sweetheart. I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long," Vincent murmured, his voice heavy with desire. The words sent a rush of anticipation through Isla, her heart racing as though she could feel the weight of Vincent’s emotions pressing against her. She tried to make sense of the depth in his tone, but it was difficult to put into words. There was something about the way he spoke to her, so tender and full of intent, that made the moment feel heavier than any fleeting desire. It wasn’t just about passion—it was as though he had envisioned this moment, this connection, for longer than either of them had realized. The sincerity in his voice, the emotion that laced every syllable, told her that what they were experiencing together was something far more profound than physical attraction. It was as if he was revealing a piece of his heart to her, something deeper, more lasting, and infinitely more significant.His words hung between them like a pro

    Vincent’s gaze lingered on her for a brief moment, before he leaned in and pressed a swift kiss to her lips. It was a soft, fleeting kiss, yet it sent a jolt through Isla’s entire body, leaving her breathless. His lips were warm and tender, but the way he kissed her, even briefly, made her feel as though the world had shifted around them. She didn’t know how to react, her mind struggling to catch up with the overwhelming surge of emotions coursing through her. She parted her lips to speak, but the words escaped her—she was completely disarmed, caught in the intensity of the moment. As Vincent slowly pulled away, his eyes drifted back to her face, studying her with an almost reverent admiration. There was something about the way he looked at her, as if every inch of her body was a work of art he wanted to memorize. Her cheeks flushed under his gaze, and she found herself holding her breath, as though afraid to disturb the fragile intimacy between them. His eyes then traveled down, m

    It didn’t take long before Vincent kissed her again, his lips pressing softly but firmly against hers. Isla’s heart raced, her thoughts scattered as she felt the heat of his touch. Each kiss seemed to stir something deep within her, pulling her closer into the moment, and yet a part of her remained unsure, lost in the overwhelming emotions of the situation. The intensity of his kiss made everything else fade into the background, and she couldn’t help but surrender to the sensation of his closeness. Every nerve in her body seemed to awaken with his proximity, as if his very presence had the power to electrify her. Her hands trembled slightly, unsure of what to do, but her body leaned into his, betraying her nervousness with her increasing desire. Though she was nervous, a part of her couldn’t deny the craving that stirred inside her—a longing to feel more, to experience the connection that only Vincent could bring. Despite her uncertainty, the pull she felt toward him was undeniable,

    As soon as Vincent pulled back from her lips, Isla expected him to move away, to give her a moment to collect herself. But instead, he lowered his head again, trailing kisses down her body until his mouth found its way back to her breast. This time, though, it was the other side, and Isla felt herself shudder again under the warmth of his touch. The sensation was almost too much to bear, yet at the same time, it was exactly what she craved. Each gentle flick of his tongue, each soft caress of his lips, made her feel like she was soaring, her body responding to him in ways she had never imagined. She didn’t care anymore about the world outside the treehouse; all that mattered was this moment with Vincent.Isla’s entire body was alive with the pleasure Vincent was giving her, and she felt herself floating on a cloud, unable to focus on anything but the sensations running through her.

    The days passed quickly, and life in Cavite began to feel like a routine for Isla. She had settled into their new home, which was modest yet cozy, and tried her best to adapt to the changes. Her father had started a small business at the market, selling rice and groceries, which kept both him and Aunt Aida busy most days. Isla appreciated the quiet moments when they weren’t around, giving her the space she needed to think. Yet, despite the peacefulness of her surroundings, Isla couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that had been growing inside her.One morning, as she went about her chores, she was suddenly struck with a severe dizziness that made her knees buckle. The world around her seemed to spin uncontrollably, and nausea surged through her in waves. She gripped the nearby table for support, her stomach twisting uncomfortably. Isla wondered what she had eaten that could have triggered such an overwhelming reaction. She glanced over at the food she had prepared earlier, but nothing s

    SIX YEARS LATER... With a heavy heart, Isla forced herself to rise from her bed when she heard a series of knocks on her bedroom door. Her body felt like it was made of lead, and each movement felt like an impossible effort. She didn’t want to face anyone; she didn’t want to be strong. All she wanted was to curl up in her bed, cry until there were no more tears, and be left alone with her sorrow. The thought of dying crossed her mind, a fleeting but undeniable feeling that overwhelmed her. She felt trapped in the silence of her own grief, a silent scream echoing within her. The pain of her broken heart felt like it was suffocating her, making everything else seem insignificant.Yesterday, she had been on the verge of experiencing what she thought was the happiest day of her life. It was supposed to be a day for her and Vincent, a day where their love would finally triumph over all the obstacles they had faced. But instead, what followed was heartbreak and devastation.

    PRESENT DAY... Ruby entered his room a few minutes after their earlier conversation. This time, something had shifted—her usual sternness was replaced by a softer, almost tentative demeanor. Vincent noticed it immediately, even from behind the rim of his wine glass. The sharp edges of her expression had eased, the weight of her usual authority seemingly lifted. It was as though she had stripped away her armor, leaving only vulnerability in its place. For a fleeting moment, he wasn’t looking at the imposing figure he had known his entire life but at a mother who seemed unsure of how to bridge the growing chasm between them.“Vincent,” Ruby whispered, her voice barely audible, yet it carried an emotional charge that pierced through the thick silence in the room. But he remained unmoving, choosing to stare into his glass rather than meet her gaze. It wasn’t defiance; it was weariness, a reluctance to open wounds he had barely begun to patch. He took another measured sip of his win

    “THAT’S enough, Ruby!” Manuel interjected firmly when he saw Ruby about to speak again.“I did it because I knew and believed that she wasn’t the right woman for you! She’s trash! I didn’t raise you to end up with someone like her!” she snapped, her tone sharp and unyielding. What Vincent had planned to be a calm conversation with his mother had quickly escalated into an argument.“Mom!” Vincent shouted angrily, his voice filled with pain. “So it’s true, then? What Isla said was true! You ruined her life! You ruined both of our lives! How could you do something like that? How could you stand by and watch me suffer?” he asked, his voice heavy with resentment.“My son grew up without a father! Do you know what he told me earlier? He said people often ask him where his father is! That came from the mouth of a child who knows nothing about this cruel world!”“He’s so innocent! Do you have any idea, Mom, how painful it was for me to hear that? I couldn’t help but think—what if people l

    Vincent’s words hung in the air as he stood by the gate, his posture rigid and authoritative as he looked down at Isla. “I’ll be back tomorrow to see Matthew,” he said with an almost casual finality, as if his presence was something she should accept without question. His voice, once filled with raw emotion, had now returned to its usual sharpness—an arrogant edge that she recognized all too well. It was the same tone he used when he wanted to take control, to remind her of the authority he believed he still held over her life. The shift in his demeanor didn’t go unnoticed, and Isla couldn’t help but feel a wave of irritation wash over her.Isla’s eyes narrowed, a sense of resolve building within her. She had already allowed Vincent to breach the walls she had worked so hard to build, but she wasn’t going to let him cross that line again. She had her own boundaries, her own rules now, and Vincent would have to understand that. With a controlled breath, she responded, her voice now

  • SOFT CURVES   “THE TRUTH OF THE PAST 1”

    “How long do you plan to keep my son from me?” Vincent’s voice resonated with raw resentment and barely restrained anger as he confronted her. The intensity of his gaze was like a storm, piercing through her as though demanding answers she had no intention of withholding any longer. He had waited far too long for this moment, and now that the truth was out, the fury he felt threatened to consume him. His fists clenched at his sides, a reflection of the rage boiling within him, as he demanded the justice he felt had been denied him all these years.“Let’s talk about that another day, Vince,” she replied, her tone deliberately steady though her hands slightly trembled as she ladled the steaming soup into a bowl. Her focus remained on the task at hand—ensuring Matthew had the nourishment he needed in his fragile state. “Your son is sick right now,” she added firmly, her voice softening as she reminded him of the immediate priority. Despite the tension in the room, her motherly i

    Isla nodded and smiled, a soft, loving expression on her face as she leaned down to kiss Matthew on the cheek. The gesture was both comforting and reassuring, a sign of her unwavering love for him. Despite the challenges they faced, she cherished these moments with him, knowing that her role as a mother was more important than anything else. As she pulled away, her heart swelled with a sense of purpose. She would do whatever it took to make sure Matthew felt better, even if it meant setting aside her own dreams and aspirations for the time being. In his eyes, she saw not just a sick child, but the very reason she kept pushing forward, no matter the obstacles in her way.“Okay, I’ll buy it, but don’t take the towel off your forehead so your fever will go away,” Isla reminded Matthew gently, her voice filled with the concern only a mother could have. She wanted to make sure everything was in place for him to feel better. His fever had been a source of worry for her all day, but she w

    “I’ll take care of Matthew, you get ready for your interview,” Selya said the next morning, her voice calm and reassuring. Isla nodded, though her mind was far from the interview Selya was referring to. The job interview for the position of secretary to her new boss was an important opportunity, yet all Isla could think about was her son, Matthew, who had been running a fever for the past couple of days. Selya’s offer to help was a small relief, but Isla couldn’t ignore the knot of worry tightening in her chest as she glanced at Matthew, still resting in his bed. The prospect of leaving him with someone else, even if it was Selya, made her uneasy. She wanted to be there, to care for him, but she knew she had to move forward and take this chance for a better future.Isla shook her head, trying to focus on the task at hand. She couldn’t afford to let herself be distracted by the worry eating away at her. Gently, she reached for the wash towel resting on the edge of the basin filled
