Aira's Point of View This is a big event in our family. The first to marry in the family and the first to build a family. Everyone is busy taking care of the guests. Two sons of big business owners are getting married, so there are too many people, and the guests are wearing grandiose clothes. Many business owners attend these gatherings because it is also a prospecting opportunity for them. This is also a declaration of the elder brother's leadership in Sister Shane's family business. Ate Shane is the only child of the de Veras, so it is certain that her brother will manage their companies. I am now at the table with Miguel, Meriam, my sister May, and Ken. No other business owners approached us because there were no businessmen among us. I introduced Miguel to them. I also found out what my brother was telling me. **FLASHBACK** "Have you seen the trending videos now?" I asked Miguel. I just rested for a while at home, then called my secretary to ask for an appointment with Migu

Aira's Point of View After introducing my boyfriend, I became a hot topic in the mansion, and Mommy and Meriam had opinions about everything I did. I simply ignore them because I'm accustomed to it. "Do you really think you'll inherit the company?" Meriam asked from behind me. My brother is married; they're on their honeymoon, but I'm still at home, working remotely because of the condo renovations. Once that's done, I plan to move out so I don't have to deal with Meriam and Mommy's drama. "I'm not interested in the company. If you want it, it's yours. I have my own business," I replied. "You're just pretending. Deep down, you want everything to be fine for us," he insisted. "If that's all we're going to talk about, then let's not talk at all," I said, ready to leave. "You have no right to the company; you're just being foolish," he retorted, walking away. "What did you say?" I asked. "Meriam? What do you mean?" I shouted. I thought, Why make a fuss? Everything they say is n

Aira's Point of View "Meriam! You live here? I thought you were staying at home or at your resthouse," I asked the woman in the neighboring unit. "Is that a question or an accusation?" he retorted. "I don't understand why you complain about the noise instead of soundproofing your unit," I replied. I didn't want a fight. I didn't want trouble, especially in the condo where I was staying. I didn't want to create a scene over something that had a straightforward solution. "Because I don't want to," he replied simply. Seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, I turned and went back to my unit. "Take your time with the work. Finish by 5 p.m. No late-night disturbances. Thank you," I instructed the foreman and left. "Is the room in your unit available?" I asked on the phone. While getting into my car, I called Raven. Right now, all I could think about was moving in with him while my condo was being fixed. I couldn't stay at home with Mommy, Meriam, and Daddy. Aside from the d

Aira's Point of View "Wouldn't your parents be angrier if they found out?" Miguel asked. I had told him my plan—to stay in his condo first—and explained Raven's actions. Reflecting on it, I realized how self-absorbed I'd been, oblivious to Raven's own struggles. I'm not angry with Raven anymore; instead, I'm disappointed in myself for being so problematic and toxic. "Raven just let me go. It's the same for both of us; we don't push each other to be better when annoyed or irritated," I replied simply. "They don't care about me," I added. "Also, can I stay here with you?" I asked him again. "If we move in together, does that mean you'll marry me?" he asked. "Tsk. Marriage isn't on my mind. We have other priorities right now, not each other," I told him firmly. "Actually," he began. He turned away. "Are you sure about living here? You know how the world is," he said with concern in his voice. "No one will know I'm here. I'll still work from home until the renovation's done, so

Miguel's Point of View I turned and saw my father standing there. It was midnight, and all the mansion lights were off except for those outside and at the guard house. "There's a lot happening in the office that you don't know about. What are you up to?" he asked before I could respond. He walked towards the light switch. Perhaps all the mansion staff were already asleep, so he was the only one to open the door. The remote must have been on the table, as he walked closer to it. Approaching me, he spoke again, "Maybe you're forgetting you're an employee in my company, not my son to act like this. You're not performing well. One more mistake, and you'll see the consequences of your negligence," he threatened, heading upstairs first. I never got a chance to reply. I went straight to my room without turning off the light he had switched on. I grabbed my laptop to check emails, proposals, and pending papers. "What? How did this happen?" I exclaimed, seeing a rejected proposal. It had

Miguel's Point of View I chased after Lily to ask for another chance to discuss our business partnership. "Ms. Montenegro, please, let me help convince your father to reconsider. I know my mistake caused the rejection yesterday. Please, I apologize," I said as I caught up with her. "What if Daddy excluded me because his heir has arrived?" she tormented me. "Huh? Aren't you the only child?" I asked. According to my research, Lily is the only child of the Montenegro family. Could there be someone else? Who could that be? "My cousin from America has arrived. He is Tito's only child and has become Daddy's chosen heir because he no longer trusts me, and it's your fault," she said bluntly. I apologized again, but she walked away. I didn't follow her, but I called my assistant, despite it being his day off. "Who is Mr. Montenegro's nephew from America, and what role does he play in the company?" I asked as soon as he answered. "As far as I know, Philip has been abroad for a long tim

Miguel's Point of View "What happened?" I asked Cheska when I found her sitting by the sea. "It's hot here; you haven't put on sunscreen yet," I told her. She didn't respond, so I tried again. "You can confide in me about your anger, even though you're older than me. If not as a brother, then as someone you barely know," I urged her. "The tough part about being Dad's son is he expects the impossible. If I can't deliver, he'll replace me. I was young, and I could tell Dad didn't like me. There was no love, no matter what I did. It's not my fault I was born sick. No matter what medicine I take, the pain remains," she said bitterly. "I've shown Dad my school achievements, but that's not what he wants. I struggle to speak in front of people due to mild autism I've had since age one. I've undergone therapies my entire life. Progress has been slow. Mom always told me not to pressure myself, but how can I improve and make Dad proud?" she continued, tears welling up. "Everything I do to

Miguel's Point of View "Just last night, the four of us planned to go out, but we didn't invite you because Aira said no," Raven explained to me. They had seen me when I was chasing after Lily. **FLASHBACK** "Miguel?" a voice called from behind me. I looked back, still holding onto Lily. I released her when I realized it was Raven calling. Surprised, I assured him it was just work and why I was chasing Lily, promising to explain later. I rushed off to find them at the resort. "I'm with Aira and—" I missed what he said as I continued chasing Lily. **END OF FLASHBACK** "What will you do now? You're too emotional. You didn't even ask him for an explanation," Raven lectured me. "Let's just go to him. I'll explain," I said to him. "I'm not sure about you. You've met his family, but you haven't met his brother Ken, whom Aira adores, if only you knew," he continued lecturing me. "They turned away; Aira was the only one who glanced at me. I don't want anyone touching her other tha
