Leaving Matthew in Mama Selya’s care had become a bittersweet routine for Isla. As she knelt down to kiss her son goodbye, his small arms wrapped around her neck tightly, making her heart ache.

“Be good for Mama Selya, okay?” she whispered, stroking his hair.

Matthew nodded, his innocent eyes filled with trust, but letting go was never easy. Isla forced a smile, hiding her guilt, and gave one last wave before stepping out. The pang of leaving him behind lingered as she walked toward the bus stop, but she reminded herself that every sacrifice she made was for him—to give him a brighter future.

Her thoughts shifted to her own appearance as she arrived home late the night before. She hadn’t had the time or budget to shop for a more professional outfit, so she was left scrambling through her closet that morning.

    Randy furrowed his brows, his emotions betraying the internal conflict he tried to suppress. What Vincent did had struck a nerve, something Randy couldn’t ignore. He had spent the evening trying to act nonchalant, but it was impossible to mask the jealousy simmering inside him. That single gesture between Vincent and Isla triggered an avalanche of emotions he thought he could control. It was as if his silent hopes had been crushed before they even had a chance to bloom. For the first time in a long while, Randy felt an overwhelming frustration that he couldn’t simply brush aside. The weight of jealousy pressed heavily on Randy’s chest, consuming him with every passing moment. He decided it was better to leave the celebration than to stay and let his emotions spiral out of control. Staying any longer, watching Isla and Vincent together, would only fuel the fire of jealousy raging within him.

    There was a genuine concern in his voice, one that made Isla pause. He wasn’t just trying to get his way; he was worried about her safety. Despite his persistence, there was a part of him that was earnest and caring, and that was what made her hesitate.Isla sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping as she tried to reason with Vincent. “No, we might get caught by a traffic enforcer,” she said, her voice firm but tinged with concern. “You know you’re drunk, Vincent. It’s not worth the risk.” Her gaze searched his face, hoping he’d see the logic in her words. Despite her resolve, she couldn’t deny the warmth in her chest from his determination to ensure her safety. Yet, the idea of him driving in his condition filled her with unease. She glanced at the road, the silence of the night stretching around them like a quiet warning.Vincent leaned back against the car, exhaling slowly before meeting her eyes with a pleading look. “Please, Isla?” he murmured, his tone softer now. “Just call Cherry

    As Isla settled into the living room, she tried to push the uncomfortable feelings aside, but they lingered in the back of her mind. She couldn’t quite pinpoint the source of her unease. It wasn’t as if she didn’t care for Vincent—she did, in fact, her feelings for him had always been complicated and multifaceted. But there was something about the dynamic between them that made her anxious. It had been years, and yet, every time Vincent was near, she couldn’t escape the same tension she felt back then. It was almost as if their past, with all its unsaid words and unspoken emotions, still clung to them, refusing to let go. The weight of their shared history seemed to hang in the air, making every interaction feel like it was carrying more significance than it should.Even now, after everything that had happened, there was still a sense of distance between them—an invisible wall that Isla couldn’t break through. She remembered how much they had meant to each other back in the day, how

    “That’s even better—it gives me more time to spend with you.” The words hung in the air, heavy with meaning, and Isla's heart skipped a beat. She tried to steady herself, but the tension in the room was palpable, thick with unspoken desires.Before Isla could react or even fully comprehend the shift in the atmosphere, Vincent leaned in. His presence was overwhelming, and she found herself frozen for a split second. His lips found hers in a deep, passionate kiss that instantly swept her off her feet. His kiss was everything she had tried to suppress, everything she had been avoiding, but in that moment, she couldn’t deny that it felt intoxicating. The way his lips moved against hers was confident and sure, as though he had waited for this moment. The kiss was not just physical; it was emotional, full of longing, of things left unsaid. Every nerve in her body seemed to come alive, responding to him in ways she couldn’t control.She would be lying if she said she didn’t enjoy that kiss.

It was as if time had slowed down, and in that moment, nothing else existed except for the two of them.

It wasn’t just the intensity of his eyes but the way they traveled over her, claiming every inch of her as if it already belonged to him. That unspoken dominance sent a surge of courage through her, shattering her hesitations. Her hand instinctively reached for the back of his neck, her fingers threading through his hair as she pulled him down to capture his lips in a kiss that was equal parts yearning and boldness.“Oh God, hmmm, Vince,” she whispered against his lips, her voice trembling with both need and surrender.

Vincent called out when he found Isla in the kitchen, busy washing dishes."Hi, Sir Vince," Isla replied, her voice soft as she acknowledged him.At that moment, Vincent moved closer, grabbing a glass and filling it with cold water from the refrigerator.“Valentine's Day is coming up. Do you have a date yet?” he asked, his gaze lingering on Isla’s beautiful face.Isla glanced at him shyly before offering a small smile. “No, I don’t. I’m not really thinking about those things right now. I don’t have time for dates,” she explained.Vincent raised his thick eyebrows in surprise. “Really? So, does that mean no one gives you gifts on Valentine’s Day?”“Some people do, but I don’t accept them. I’m afraid my dad might see, and if that happens, I’ll definitely get scolded,” Isla said, explaining with a faint smile.Vincent nodded thoughtfully. “Just out of curiosity, what kind of gift would you not be able to resist?”Isla stared at him in disbelief after h

As she took her first step down the long aisle of the grand church, a wave of emotions washed over her—excitement, nervousness, and most of all, deep happiness.

    Isla’s heart tightened as she listened to Vincent’s heartfelt apology. She had never fully understood the depth of his pain until now. She knew he had suffered, but hearing him speak so openly about it made her feel a deep sense of empathy for him. The regret she had once carried about their separation began to lift, replaced by an overwhelming sense of understanding. She could see now how much his love for her had hurt him, how he had been torn apart by the loss, just as she had. In his vulnerability, she saw the man who had always loved her, even through the darkest times, and it made her heart ache for him even more.Vincent’s voice broke slightly as he continued, his eyes filled with raw emotion. "Forgive me for not looking for you. Forgive me for not being there when you needed me most. I'm sorry for judging you."

She had just come from the washroom when a familiar sight caught her eye—on her desk, there was a beautiful bouquet of red flowers, its vibrant petals standing out against the plain backdrop of her office. Her heart skipped a beat as she hurried over to it. She picked up the card, eager to see who the flowers were from. When she read the message, a warm smile spread across her face.

    The sun was already high in the sky when Isla slowly stirred awake the next morning. Her body felt heavier than usual, as though the weight of the previous night’s intimacy had lingered with her. She lay there for a moment, eyes still heavy with sleep, before she tried to muster the strength to sit up. A bath was the first thing on her mind, hoping it would wash away the fatigue from her body. But as she stretched and moved, her muscles protested, reminding her of how deeply connected she had been to Vincent just hours earlier.Just as she was about to swing her legs over the side of the bed, the door to their room suddenly creaked open.
