As the private jet soared smoothly through the sky, Evadne unfastened the seat belt strapped around her and approached Gavin for a hug. It seemed they had the same intention, as he was about to remove his seat belt as well, only to be preempted by her. As she embraced Gavin, he, in turn, pulled her onto his lap. He reciprocated the hug.“I love you,” Gavin once again expressed with full affection.Tears still welled up in her eyes as she looked at him. “You do?”“Isn’t it obvious yet?”Evadne bit her lower lip slightly to prevent herself from bursting into tears. She was too emotional, unable to help it.Gavin took a handkerchief from his pants pocket, gently wiping away the tears on her cheek.“Sweetie, don’t cry,” he pleaded softly.“I can’t help it, Gavin. I’m just happy to hear those words from you.”A smile formed on Gavin’s lips as he hugged her again, using the handkerchief to wipe away her tears this time. Evadne pressed her face against Gavin’s neck, and he didn’t complain ab
“GUYS, not now, please?” Gavin requested as the guys approached their table.Evadne remained silent and refrained from joining the conversation. Deep inside, there was a part of her that couldn’t help but feel a bit starstruck by the men surrounding her and Gavin. It was her first time being surrounded by this kind of divine blessing from God.“Why does it seem like the girl with you on your last visit was different?”“Yeah, right?”Confusion was evident on Evadne’s beautiful face. Did Gavin bring another girl aside from her?“Don’t believe them. They’re good at teasing,” Gavin retorted, turning to her with a very apologetic expression. It was as if he wanted to warn the guys that he could get protective. “I’m warning you guys,” Gavin added as they stood up. “Coming here was a big mistake.”“If Arturo hears you, you might not even step foot here,” Kwame scolded.“I don’t care,” Gavin replied, approaching Evadne to help her stand.“Leaving already?” Armando asked Gavin.“Yes, and my gi
“Let’s talk about business later. I want our conversation today to be about us. Hmm?”She smiled at Gavin. “No problem with me.”When his lips descended to hers, she didn’t hesitate to respond to his kiss. They were alone, and she didn’t see anyone else. So, she thought it was safe to respond to the kiss of the man she loved.***Does many in Evadne’s circle of ex-friends know Gavin well because his name is also famous as a member of the UHB Leisure Club?Now she pieced together that information. She was already familiar with the UHB Leisure Club; she had heard about it before. However, she couldn’t pay much attention to it or join in the hype because she preferred to focus on her business. And when Orion came into her life, that’s when her world mostly revolved.She felt even more overwhelmed by Gavin’s status in life. He was surrounded by friends who were also billionaires. Gavin practically had a golden spoon in his mouth.She sighed as she watched Gavin approach her. They were in
Evadne was the first to wake up that afternoon. The handsome face of Gavin was the first thing she saw. The sight of his attractiveness was truly captivating.She wanted to caress his cheek, but she hesitated, fearing he might wake up from his slumber.Earlier, she had doubts about what her boyfriend might want to do before they went to sleep. Her mind wandered because of his undressing earlier. However, none of the sensuality she imagined happened. They just slept. He didn’t take advantage of the situation. It seemed like he had no intention of christening the place they were in. Or maybe he was just holding back?She smiled at her thoughts.Gavin was still embracing her while lying on his side facing her. She closed her eyes again and snuggled closer to his body. She felt him pulling her even closer. A smile played on her lips.She didn’t intend to go back to sleep. But for some reason, she fell asleep again. When she woke up again, Gavin was no longer beside her.She got up as if
“SWEETIE…”From the dessert she was savoring, Evadne looked up at Gavin. They were at Restaurant’s Side that night, having just finished dinner. Evadne was casually finishing her dessert.“Hmmm?” she replied with her mouth still full.“Do you want to come with me tomorrow?”“Where?”“The UHB Leisure Club is organizing a tree planting activity in The High Line, still within the Malibu area. Do you want to join? For us, it’s mandatory because that’s Arturo’s order.”Tree planting? She wanted to give it a try. If he’s going tomorrow, she doesn’t want to be left behind either. With a smile on her face, she nodded in agreement. “Sure. I also want to plant trees.”“We need to plant more trees to save Mother Earth,” Gavin said with a sigh. “I’ve been too busy lately, and I haven’t been aware of environmental issues. That’s why Arturo encourages all members to have our employees participate in tree planting activities all over the Country. Especially in mountain areas prone to landslides or d
“Wait, sweetie,” Gavin interrupted Evadne, who was about to dig the soil again using a dibble.“Why?” she asked, puzzled.They were currently planting mahogany trees in that part of The High Line, which was still under the jurisdiction of Malibu. They brought various types of trees with them, including lanzones, rambutan, and mango.“You have sweat,” Gavin said, wiping Evadne’s forehead with the face towel he brought.“Thank you,” she said, smiling. Gavin was undeniably sweet and caring.They woke up early that morning despite their playful antics in bed the previous night. She remembered his prank from last night. He said it would only be one round, but it ended up being two.“Still good?”She nodded. “Absolutely. Even if we plant one hundred more trees, no problem.”That was already their sixth tree. Four more remained. Once those were planted, they could request more to plant. She enjoyed what she was doing, and Evadne knew that Gavin and the others, especially her boyfriend, enjoy
“Did he notice that I didn’t finish my food?” Evadne whispered to Gavin. There was anxiety in her chest because of that call from Arturo Roberto.“I don’t think so,” Gavin reassured Evadne before helping her stand. “Arturo won’t stop bothering us until we get closer to the front,” Gavin whispered to her. “Just relax,” he gently reminded her.The nervousness in Evadne’s chest persisted. No matter how much she tried to relax, the anxiety remained.Evadne couldn’t decide whether to smile at Arturo when they approached the very serious owner of UHB Leisure Club.“Is there a problem? Are the trees we planted not enough?” Gavin joked with Arturo, just to break the ice.“Yeah. One hundred fifty is the limit for each person.”Arturo’s seriousness made it unclear to Evadne if he was joking or not.“Ah, okay. We’ll come back later,” Gavin replied.“Anyways,” Arturo continued, addressing someone in particular, “not everyone here knows your girlfriend. Maybe you can introduce her on your own? Sin
“Forgive me, Evadne,” Galilena apologized to Evadne.They met at a restaurant. Initially, Evadne had no intention of meeting any of her ex-friends, but Galilena pleaded earnestly. Galilena gathered the courage to face her, feeling embarrassed because she had also believed Camila’s accusations.“I didn’t intend to backstab you. Camila created a group chat,” Galilena confessed. “She added all of us and revealed what happened between you and Orion. I had no idea she was saying the opposite. I’m really sorry. I never thought she could take Orion away from you.”Evadne sighed. “Don’t worry, Galilena. I don’t regret losing Orion in my life. Because I don’t deserve someone like him. He’s too selfish, only thinking about himself.”“What Camila did was awful,” said Galilena shaking her head. “She really managed to steal someone else’s husband.”“Legally, Orion and I aren’t really married. He convinced me of that. So, when I tried to get a new ID, he always gave excuses to postpone it. Turns ou

FROM the cellphone, Gavin’s gaze lifted to Evadne, who had been staring at him for a while now. He smiled and stopped peeking at his online business. He shifted his attention to his girlfriend.“It seems like you want to melt me with your stares, sweetie?” He teasingly grabbed Evadne’s attention.She blinked and realized what she was doing. Blushing slightly, she averted her gaze back to the TV.If only she knew how cute she looked to him while staring. And his heart? It seemed to overflow with joy seeing the emotions in her eyes, all her attention focused on him.When he caught her looking at him, he couldn’t miss the slight reddening of her cheeks.“Or maybe you’re still thinking about what we did in the bathroom? Want a round two? Maybe you’re just shy to say. You know there’s no judgment from me. My body is yours,” he teased her.“Gavin,” Evadne scolded him, making her cheeks even redder. “I thought you were watching, but you seem too engrossed in your cellphone.”“Yet, when you l
