Enrico Pov...I expect that Kendra will really turn down me yet she gives me another reason to ponder. Her yes makes my life happier and more meaningful. A lot of plans were popping into my head even my itineraries. I have never been excited and happy like this. I now believe that splitting up with Diana was saving my life and not a curse.Five years of broken-hearted and mourning losing her was worth it as I met Kendra who makes my life meaningful right now. It was an unbelievable gift. I smiled remembering the night we meet. It was uncanny but fulfilling now that I ended with her. She really marks me after that night."Hey! Why are you smiling alone?" She asks."I remembered how I met you." I replied still smiling. She blushed covering her face with her palm. "Please don't remind me, Enrico! I was pathetic drunk and mad that day that's why I was crazy." She uttered bitterly couldn't accept the past."Every time I see you remind me of that day. If I hadn't met you I guess you are no
Evelyn Pov... My three-day vacation is over, and I'm feeling upset because I didn't achieve what I wanted. It may seem like I’m rushing things with Danny, but that's not the case. I'm just worried that someone might take him away from me. I don't care who he is, as long as he’s not a murderer. Haven't talked to my brother since I saw him. I know he was busy with Kedra as well and I don't want to disturb them. I gaze at Danny as he sleeps. I checked out of the hotel yesterday to spend my final night with him, hoping to create memories that I can cherish when I return home. I’m not worried about the consequences; I’m old enough to understand the limits and repercussions of my actions. I realize this isn’t right, but I can’t resist it. He’s captured my heart and swept me off my feet. Just thinking about him feels like a slice of heaven and a dreamlike paradise. My phone suddenly rang startling me on my trance. I pick up not to wake up Danny. "Hello!" I haven't finished my words yet
Danny Pov... To flaunt my cooking skills I cook a lot of food for our breakfast. I once dreamed of opening my own café or restaurant, but after what happened with my brother and our first venture together, I gave up. The memory of that one mistake haunts me—it nearly landed us in jail and almost cost my life but ended up losing him anyway. I glanced over all the food I had set out on the table before heading back to my room to call Evelyn. As I walked, I happily sang a Bruno Mars song, feeling excited and cheerful. But to my surprise, when I reached my room, she wasn't there. I searched the entire house, but there was no sign of Evelyn.I let out a deep sigh, sitting at the foot of the entrance stairs to my apartment, feeling both disappointed and sad. She always leaves without saying a word. Is she upset with me for turning her down? If only she knew it was the opposite of what she might think. I chose to keep my distance, not because I didn't want to engage, but because I wanted to
Enrico Pov... Before returning to the Philippines to face my life, I took Kendra to her office one last time. I'll deeply miss my beautiful fiancée, the rainbow of my life. "Thank you, babe!" She blasted before getting out of the car but I stopped her. "I’ll come with you to your office, love. You know I’m going to miss you!" I said brightly, holding her wrist. She smiled and nodded, and I took her hand as we walked toward her office. All eyes were on us from the lobby to her office door, even her friend stared at us, stunned and wide-eyed. I winked at her friend, and she and her colleagues giggled.The moment I saw Danny, I knew he was troubled, yet he still managed a smile and greeted us, despite his rough day. Seeing us happily close together stung him—it was subtle, but I could tell. "Babe, are you sure your assistant is doing fine?" I ask Kendra. "Yeah! He is a man who keeps his personal life out when inside the office but he will come around if he needs help." Kendra beamed
Kendra Pov... "Kendra!" Sharon chirped peeping at the door."Come in?" I ushered her while I was still engrossed in my paperwork. "We need to talk," she began. I paused, turning to look at her. She only starts like this when something serious is on her mind—usually, it’s about my choices."Is something wrong? Did I miss anything?" I asked anxiously, worried I’d forgotten something while caught up in cuddling with Enrico—the last thing I wanted to happen. She shook her head and took the chair across from me."It's not about the business, Kendra. You know what I mean. Being engaged without any closure isn’t right," she pointed out directly. Right! I’d nearly forgotten about that part. It’s unfair to Enrico. "Thank you for reminding me. I will talk to him when we go to the opening next month." I assured her. The hotel in Makati will have its pre-launched opening next month. "I'm just concerned Kendra. I hope you will not misunderstand me. Sometimes secrets are the thing that ruins wha
Diana Pov...Im still shivering in fear after meeting Antonio. Daniel was collateral damage from what I have done. It was planned perfectly and he was there. I did the thing I thought will fix it but here I am facing my abyss.They left but I'm still stuck in this old apartment in deep thought of what should i do. Antonio is not an easy enemy and now that they found me my life will be in chaos just when Enrico dumps me. I need to find a way to hook Enrico. He will be a good help and Antonio will be off the grid.I was supposed to leave when an intruder knock me off falling on the ground. The next moment I woke up naked with hickeys all over my body. I'm not just shocked to see myself naked but my body was in pain. I can't move properly and my legs were like it was hung all night.I grab the blanket and covered my body looking around to see who did this to me but I already reach the kitchen and living room and I am alone. What the hell happened? I'm pissed slumping my exhausted body on
Evelyn Pov...Since I left New York a month ago I make sure I am busy working on business. The bar isn't enough to get busy with so I invested to open a coffee shop in Makati. I bought one of my friends for closure coffee shop as she is migrating to Canada. I don't want to idle myself but smart people will notice what I am trying to do.I'm fascinated and infatuated with Danny at first sight but he is not to me. I was delusional and assumed he was. I bite the wrong signal. It hurts but it's part of life. My brother thought he founds the right woman but ended up hurt so, do I. It's just that I got it before it will be too late drowned in my ignorance. I was really impulsive in decision making but love was the failure of everything I did. I don't have regrets following my heart at least I tried than doing nothing. The Casa Coffee Shop is operating now after I brief her previous employees. Thinking to branch after I see the profit. I heard my brother is looking for me too since he came
Kendra Pov...Here I am love. Kendra this time make sure to tell him the truth. Nothing beats happiness but truth. Consider yourself lucky if things will not go against your plan. I mentally reminded myself.Enrico isn't aware I'm back and I wanted to surprise him. Though I had a lot of surprises with me and I know he will be glad to know.Sharon wasn't surprised at my decisions but supported me. I close my eyes for a moment to relieve myself.I used the same hotel we used to stay in as it's closest to the hotel and I'm more comfortable and delighted with their service."Hello, Danny!" I'm surprised Danny called. "Madam!" He sighed. "Danny, is there something wrong?" I ask as keep on hearing his heavy breathing. "Can I come?" He hesitantly asks. Why is he asking? He said he couldn't come with me this time, so why is he asking to come here? "Not sure unless you can tell me the reason. Sharon is coming in three days, so what about you?" I lamented. I'm not aware that my assistant ha
