When Santiago left to change outfits for the upcoming meeting, Yaslyn made a discreet call.

Yaslyn's voice was both assertive and questioning. "Xora, I asked you to investigate the matter concerning my mother. What have you found?"

Xora paused for a moment before replying, "Yaslyn, Mrs. Carden has covered her tracks masterfully. I've combed through the entire country—nothing."

A chill went down Yaslyn's spine, and she muttered softly, "If she's not on land, what about the sea? Could she be there?"

Xora paused again before realization set in. "The sea... Of course. I'll start searching immediately."

Yaslyn hung up, composing herself as she prepared to introduce Santiago to Belicia.

Belicia was ethereal, like a fairy brought to life. She was the kind of beauty that Yaslyn secretly admired.

However, Santiago snorted the moment he locked eyes with Belicia. "This is it?"

Belicia had put out hand to greet him, but she dropped it, and her smile froze.

"Don't mind him," Yaslyn replied

    Yaslyn noticed Santiago turning on his charm again, but it was aimed at the innocent Belicia.She slapped him playfully on the forehead and thought, 'He never changes!'"I wasn't thinking of anything else," he replied.Although Belicia had never been in a relationship, and despite having rejected many admirers, she could not help but feel a flutter in her heart when charmed by such a handsome man.Yaslyn intervened. "Enough of this. Don't tease her anymore, Santiago. Belicia is very shy. Both of you, get ready. We'll be shooting a short video soon."Since they were a contractual couple, they needed to make the most of the moment.Santiago frowned, looking confused. "So soon?""Of course. I've already thought of the theme.""What theme would that be?"Yaslyn slapped her thigh in excitement. "The love story between a school bully and the innocent top student."Santiago, the school bully. Belicia, the innocent top student.Santiago frowned even more, pointing to himself in disb

    Yaslyn instantly understood Belicia's discomfort."Of course not. I just thought..."Belicia's face burned with embarrassment, wishing the earth would open up and swallow her whole."Enough of that," Yaslyn replied, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I'm starving. Shall we eat?"It was only then that Santiago looked away and nodded. "Let's have the waiter serve the dishes."The atmosphere held an unmistakable tension. Yaslyn could not help but regret her impromptu dinner invitation, thinking perhaps a bonus would have sufficed.Throughout the meal, Belicia ate with her head bowed. Santiago was mischievous, his eyes stuck on her.Yaslyn smiled playfully when the dinner ended "When you get home, check your phone. There's a surprise waiting."A notification chimed almost immediately. Beliciaapeeked at her screen to see a jaw-dropping transfer of a hundred and forty thousand dollars from Yaslyn.

    The spotlight flashed, lighting up the main stage. As the lead singer danced, the crowd became excited. The audience crowded together, making it nearly impossible to move.In the midst of the commotion, Yaslyn was shocked when someone from the crowd bumped into her. The force separated her from her friend."Oh no!" she exclaimed, recognizing her vulnerable position. Getting swept away could be disastrous.However, as she braced herself for the impending fall, it never came. Instead, she found herself caught in a firm yet oddly chilling embrace. The scent that greeted her was all too familiar.Blinking rapidly, Yaslyn's gaze met Xoan's grim eyes, his face a storm of restrained emotions."Xoan? What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice quivering..Without answering her question, Xoan effortlessly steadied her, ensuring she was back on her feet. Feeling a little sheepish, Yaslyn stepped back."Ah... Thank you.""Just be careful next time," he murmured, starting to turn away.

    "How did this happen?" he whispered in disbelief."It's late, Santiago. Go home. I'm fine, really. You shouldn't hover over me like this."Yaslyn nudged him away, signaling her need for space. She had clearly decided to keep him at a distance.Understanding the situation, Santiago knew that love often needed patience and persistence. Offering a quiet farewell, he gripped the medicine he had brought for her and left.As he walked past a trash can, he discarded the medicine without a second thought. 'What's the use' he pondered, a hint of irritation hidden behind his composed facade.That night, Yaslyn was haunted by a nightmare.Santiago's hands were wrapped around her neck, his eyes bloodshot, his body taut with tension.

    "What's the big deal about pretending? It's not like it's real. My grandpa is adamant about meeting my girlfriend. Where can I find a girl that would satisfy his expectations?" Santiago said desperately.He looked Yaslyn head to toe and gave a nod of satisfaction. "That's why I think you'd be perfect. My grandpa, he seems to be quite fond of you."Yaslyn was puzzled. "Why would your grandpa like me?"Suppressing a smirk, Santiago shared, "In all of Jefferson City, who isn't aware that Yaslyn of the Lukesh Company is a gem, exuding both intelligence and beauty?""That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"Yaslyn knew of her popularity, but Santiago's description seemed almost exaggerated. She was unaware that before she was with Xoan, all advances from other men had been deftly blocked by Wade. After Xoan, no man dared to challenge his claim."The last time I mentioned to my grandpa that I had feelings for you, he was ecstatic and wanted me to bring you home."Santiago's face took on a

    'Isn't a couple's date a tad hasty?' Santiago suppressed a sigh.If things kept going that way, netizens would surely link him romantically with Belicia. Yet, his genuine affection was for Yaslyn, not the manipulative Belicia.Upon learning of the plan, Belicia shyly cast her eyes downward. "Isn't this a bit...presumptuous? I've never been on a date before."Although starting a fake relationship with Santiago sounded tempting, she believed that over time, she could make it real and capture Santiago's heart. She schemed silently, unaware that Santiago was mentally cursing her.Santiago, knowing that he could not outright refuse, shifted the conversation. "There will be an additional cost involved."Yaslyn immediately understood. The 'cost' Santiago referred to was likely the favor of accompanying him to his family banquet."What else do you want?" she inquired.Santiago's lips curled into a sly smile. "I want you to stay at my place for a few days. If you agree, I'll happily film

    "Have you gone mad?"Yaslyn felt a mixture of amusement and disbelief. How did Yerick muster such confidence?"Yes, you can think of it like that.

Our conversation isn't over."Yerick's usually warm eyes suddenly became unnerving."I don't have the time or patience to indulge your delusions!""What if I told you I have news about your mother and Josie? Would you be willing to continue our conversation?"Upon hearing those familiar names, Yaslyn hesitated. Yerick caught her slight reaction."See? Those two will always make you listen."Yaslyn clenched her fists at her side, her gaze steadfast. "You truly are despicable," she uttered slowly."Watch your tone. Who knows what might happen to them?"Yerick's threat was veiled but unmistakable."Spe

With a smug look at Matheo, he announced, "I'm taking Whitey off your hands for a bit."Matheo's expression turned steely.

    "Don't make that call!" Whitey screamed in a panic.A harsh slap struck her face as the ringleader yelled, "Shut it, woman! Who said you could talk?"The man, not satisfied after hitting her, gave in to his fury and kicked her. However, before he knew it, Matheo, who was standing nearby, had silently moved behind him.

    Whitey shook her head. She did not have a clue, and even if she could guess, she did not know what to do about it."I was actually about to..."Before Matheo could finish, a deafening crash rang out.Startled, Whitey clapped her hands over her ears. Matheo wrapped her in his arms and glanced at the rear window.A random stone had shattered the car's back glass, leaving a gaping hole.The chaos erupted out of nowhere, catching both of them off guard.

    Whitey was back to her usual routine—classes by day, radio station by night. However, she had a luxury she did not have previously. A private car service, ensuring her safety was never in question.Doniel's lips were sealed, not breathing a word of her injury to anyone. Except for Matheo, who had somehow stumbled upon the secret.That night, after her radio gig, Whitey stepped out expecting to see the familiar pink sports car tucked away in its usual spot. However, it was nowhere in sight.Moreover, he had not even bothered to call her. A knot of worry formed in her stomach. Did something happen to him?Whitey had called his number three, maybe four times, but got nothing.As she was wrestling with her thoughts, a familiar yet unsettling figure approached her.Matheo.Why was he there?Nobody knew about Whitey's job at the radio station except Doniel."Doniel's tied up today, so I'm your ride," Matheo said.Alarm bells rang in Whitey's head.

    The nurse nodded, gesturing for Doniel to give them some space.Once the bandaging was complete, Doniel returned with a treat—Whitey's beloved chocolate cupcakes."For you. Why didn't you say it hurt? He was so rough, and yet you asked me not to hold it against him."Whitey, her mouth full of frosting, mumbled a reply. "It's not that bad. Besides, you two are usually on good terms. Why fight over pointless things because of me?"Doniel tapped her head gently. "You're such a goof. What are you even talking about? Meaningless things?""I just thought that you two grew up together, so it'd be a shame to fall out over something so small, right?"Doniel huffed, "I never really cared for him, you know.""Okay, let's figure out a plan B. This mess means I might be stuck in the hospital longer, so I'm counting on you to smooth things over back home."Doniel looked at her with a teasing grin. "Relax, I've got this."Somehow, Whitey could always pick up a strange vibe from his smile, an

    Whitey was injured, and Doniel rushed her to the hospital that very night. It was just a slash on her arm, but Doniel was beside himself with worry.Watching Whitey grit her teeth through the stitching, Doniel's face turned a shade of stormy gray. "I'll track down that driver's family if it's the last thing I do!"Whitey winced in pain, but seeing Doniel's fury, she tried to soothe him. "Really, it's not so bad."Doniel looked at her bandaged arm. "Thirteen stitches, Whitey. If you're not in pain, I'm in pain for both of us."Whitey was always the center of attention—a princess who was doted on from the day she was born. She had never experienced an injury as severe as that. As Doniel reached for his phone to call Whitey's parents, she quickly stopped him with a hand gesture, wincing as she accidentally grazed her wound, "Please don't call them. They'll just scold me again if they find out.""I told you to let me drive you home. Now, look at what happened because you didn't li

If only she had accepted a ride from Doniel, none of that would happen. Regret washed over her as she scrambled for her phone, desperate to call for help.Sensing her panic, the driver floored it to a secluded spot and then abruptly stopped the car.Whitey's head snapped forward, hitting the seat, and as the world spun, her phone slipped from her grasp.

He and his family packed up and moved overseas, while the rest stayed back."Thanks for tuning into 'Moonlit Wishes,' your go-to spot for all things heartfelt.

    "So, just because you're into him, you decide to set me up? How does that make any sense?"Whitey could not help but find her logic almost laughable."Because I noticed he always had a soft spot for you, jealousy clouded my judgment, and that's why I..."Jade inhaled deeply, as if bracing herself for what was to come. "Well, you've uncovered the truth, so there's no point in hiding anything. Punish me however you see fit."What was the point in pleading guilty then?Jade stood there, a mix of defiance and dignity, stubborn even in the face of her mistake.Whitey was not looking to lay blame. "I'm not going to take this to the principal, and I won't breathe a word of it to anyone else. However, as of today, our friendship is done. I'll find a new place to sit when we get back."Whitey let out a tired sigh. "There's something else you should know. He's got a girlfriend now."Jade's eyes widened in disbelief.
