Kendra Pov...Five years have passed since I was once shoved into the pit of mud almost unable to get up. The last thing I would ever do is run back to where I came from but I have no choice. I have to give back what Letty gave to me. This business is not just given to me to live in but to take care of it.The construction of our branch in the Philippines is almost halfway and I need to be there. I'm not scared of going but my instinct is giving me chills of worries and concern. That's what bothers me and nonetheless! "Kendra just tell me exactly why you are hesitant to go there?" My friend asks. I look at her thinking but I couldn't spell it out for her. This unexplained feeling is worrisome and burdensome to me. I can find a solution if I know what is it but I'm blank. "I don't know actually. It's just that while the day of my flight is approaching I felt uncomfortable and worried. Worries piling me up slowly and it's out of breath." I told her honestly. "Don't worry your secretar
Enrico Pov...Relaxing once in a while is really what I needed. Thanks to my fiance who manages to squeeze a vacation on my tight schedule. I didn't know I need this until today when I am here lying watching the sunset and the ocean. The waves of the ocean relax my body and replenish my soul's strength. I felt energized and calm just like the waves when they reach the shore.She was right when she said I am rich but I'm dying inside. What's the use of having everything if the simple leisure I should need is deprived? I don't have children and my sister is enjoying her life with her own money earned."So, did I make the right decision?" My fiance whispered from behind before kissing my neck and my lips. I smiled at her."Thank you! I indeed need it." I replied in between our kisses."You should, believe me, love. Balance life is breathable and enjoyable. Working the whole time is suffocating and boring. Soon you will realize what you miss but it is already too late to have it and no tu
Danny Pov..."Maam Kendra we are already here." I shake her to wake up.We already arrive but I let her sleep while others were leaving before waking her up. It seems she is exhausted suddenly and feeling tired. "Okay, thanks, Danny!" She mumbled still sleepy head forcing herself to stand up. I shook my head carrying her bag and pulled her out of the plane. Her friend said I will take care of her. Even if she will not tell me I will still take care of her just like I'm doing since ma'am Letty is already ill secretly.She immediately booked a taxi to our hotel. I was amazed at how hospitable the Filipino crew at the Sofitel Hotel where we are staying. I wasn't raised here but I am aware of how hospitable they are and now I experience it. I want to marry a Filipina. Sadly the woman I wanted wasn't interested in men. She hated men! The reason, I don't know!I immediately slumped my body on the soft mattress to breathe out when I arrived in my room. I love fieldwork! Staying in a classy
Enrico Pov...Vacation is over and I have to face the reality. Though Diana doesn't want me to go back yet I have to. I had an important meeting with La Diva Hotel on Wednesday. I haven't read the full proposal yet.La Diva Hotel is famous in New Your and Hawaii. This hotel is hospitable and had a good employee orientation according to their customers. Foods were also amazing and worth every penny you spent. Dynasty Hotel is an exclusive hotel I work at since I opened this business with my family and friends. "Enrico you should go there tomorrow." Diana stops me to go to my office I already called my secretary and best friend to fetch me."I'm sorry Diana. I already called Mike to fetch me. Go home and wait for me." I emphasized kissing her before closing the car door of her car.After checking into my office and finishing everything I ask Mike to grab dinner with me. We visited the steakhouse we used to eat with my business partners. Didn't expect to see a surprise I would never exp
Kendra Pov...The little accident along the way ruined the excitement I was feeling. After five years this is my first time doing what Letty used to do. I familiarise myself with what my job is and about the company before leaping another step. Five years is too much maybe but I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. I'm almost exhausted running back to Dynasty Hotel but didn't expect to drain all my left energy to see the man I begged to take me one night! My tongue was stuck in my throat unable to speak. I felt paralyzed locking eyes with him. His eyes were not just captivating but sucking up my energy making me limp and exhausted.I don't know how to start anything so I make myself busy pretending to read but."Mam Kendra, are you alright? Your folder is turned upside down and you look pale." Danny asked worried pulling the folder in my hand and flipping it properly. Unaware that the CEO saw it the same with his handsome secretary trying to hold himself."Sorry, I am!" I
Mike Pov... When I saw Kendra in the office my hunch last night jibed with what I expected. I couldn't be careless but they were showing signs that they had met previously.Enrico was shocked to see her breaking his favorite cup as a sign of something big and what I thought counts when Kendra also fell on her knees stunned seeing astounded Enrico. They were not just shocked to see each other but entangled immediately as their eyes locked up ignoring their surroundings. Danny and I were mesmerized watching them burn eyes for a while before extending help and shaking Enrico to his senses. We are here for a damn meeting not for a lovely live show. But I would love to see what unfolds next between them. Lightning stares, bulging eyes, mouth agape and speechless, and more! I wanted to laugh actually but I tried to be as professional as possible restraining myself. I'm almost carried away but moments weren't on it yet. Reminding her the arranged lunch was the best excuse but wasn't for t
Enrico Pov...I know Mike will not stop bullying after what he saw and heard but I will not give in to his desire to satisfy him. I couldn't stop smiling after we separated from that lunch. I know she feels that spark as well. Never experienced this feeling with Diana. I admit to loving her still that's why I accepted her immediately when she came back but some things are not working as I thought and here comes Kendra!Her name sounds delicious to utter and beautiful to hear. Her stares were still innocent but I doubted that. Her innocent dragged me to where I am right now. She is a dangerous innocent woman I've ever met. Diana is already wild and provocative. She is predictable unlike her she becomes unpredictable after that night maybe. Still, remember how she pleads just for a night and becomes the craziest woman who is happy when a stranger took her innocence like how she took my breath away and conquered my mind. Now that she's back things got out of my hand. I'm more intereste
Kendra Pov...When I left the room that day five years ago, never it occur in my mind that one day our paths will cross again! And when I planned that revenge I never think of any consequences. Sometimes when we are mad our decisions were not right. We will regret after but there's no turning back.I really just thought of one damn fucking night and everything is fine! You are what you decide and choose. No one is to blame for the worst or good outcome. I want to but it's me who went this far. Now, face that damn consequences Kendra.A lot of things weren't on my list when I pull that dangerous stunt five years ago! Clouded by my anger and revenge brought me to where I am right now. Both bad and good though but I prefer the latter. Seeing him once at the restaurant is already terrifying yet my misery didn't end there! I wasn't brief that he will be the person I'll be working with and what was terrifying was I'll be working with him for the rest of my life. The game of life hated me so

Danny Pov...He couldn't contain the happiness she felt hearing that Diana and her small family were caught in Italy before they could leave at dawn. Evelyn on the other hand don't want to let him face them alone pleading for her parents to watch their kids for a while to help him. She knows this is very important to him and will set him free as well. "Hi Diana, it's been too long!" Danny beamed entering the room. Diana didn't respond and just looked at him desolate. She knows it's already over. "You know, I wanted justice through my hand but you are damn lucky I have a family stopping me to become evil because what you did is fucking unforgivable!" Danny erupted emphasizing his words. He really wanted to strangle this bitch woman but he can only do that in his mind as he don't want to go to jail and lose the chance to raise his children. "So where's your sharp tongue now and smart mind? I don't want to waste my time with you. See you in court Diana!" She didn't respond and accep
Third Person POV...As the sun descended below the horizon at Montemayor's Manor, a palpable sense of excitement and nostalgia filled the air. Today, Senior Manolo invited his whole family to gather in his manor. "It's time to rest now, I did my part to make them settle." Senior Montemayor mumbled as everyone slowly arrived one after another. Laughter and chatter filled the living room and hallway of the house as his family members started to make this day worth it. While his children and children-in-laws enjoying this sudden reunion their children filled the hallways of the house, garden, and pool with waves of laughter vibrating around the manor. The aroma of homemade dishes wafted from the kitchen, filling their nostrils. Antonia reminded me of the days when her mother cooked her favorite food before going to school and when she invited her boyfriend to come over."Aunt Rhea, did you meet grandma?" Enrico asked."A few times and she was a great mom." She responded making Antonia
In the tender embrace of a dimly lit room, two souls stood at the precipice of a heartfelt reconciliation, the air was filled with the weight of unspoken words and unresolved emotions.
