Rizalyn values three love adages: the heart wants what it wants, distance intensifies love, and love is blind. Would she pursue a love interest if it meant competing with her sister? Rylie Nestor Ferrante is a mysterious man who will do anything for his family, even if it means ignoring his own heart. He meets a woman who ignites a fire within him, but now he's getting married to the wrong person and wonders if it's too late to find the right one.

"Oh well, nagmana lang naman ng ugaling baliw sa ama natin," lihim na sagot ni Glorisha sa gilid. Ininom niya agad ang wine niya. "Ang sabihin mo nagmana sa kabaliwan mo," si Belinda kay Glorisha. "Para kang si maleficent," dugtong niya. "Excuse me? Are you talking to me?" Taas ng kilay ni Glorisha kay Belinda. Pinaikot ko na ang mga mata ko at napabuntonghininga na ako sa sarili. "Excuse me girls. Pupuntahan ko muna ang mga anak ko." "Sama ako! May anak din kasi ako!" Tingin ni Belinda kay Glorisha. Sabay kaming napatingin ni Belinda sa tiyan ni Glorisha at napakurap ako sa sarili. Umiwas agad si Belinda ng titig sa amin dalawa at saka nagkukunwaring walang nangyayari. "Give me that! You supposed not to drink wine!" Awat ni Belinda. Kinuha niya ang baso sa kamay ni Glorisha. "Non alcoholi
Rizalyn's POV.Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa lahat. Nestor was born here in France, down the countryside where his mother business started. I know that Nestor mother is businesswoman and she worked hard in everything.Bata palang daw si Nestor ay tanging sina Nanay Neneta at Tatay Prestino took care of him. Hindi sinunod ng ina ni Nestor ang apelyedo niya sa ama dahil simula't sapul palang noon ay iba na ang relasyon ng mga magulang niya.He already accepted fate as early as when he was born. Kaya pala pagdating sa dalawang anak namin, ay iba siya. Nakikita ko ito, at alam ko na sa kabila ng abala niyang mundo sa negosyo ay hindi niya nakakalimutan ang dalawang bata.He doesn't mind it if he forgets about me, but not the kids. He can sleep on their room overnight without thinking of me. Mas gusto niyang maka-bonding ang mga bata sa gabi, bago sila matulog at madalas ay natutulog siya sa tabi ng dalawa.Ito lang din ang pamamaraan niya bilang isang ama.He told m
Nestor's POV."Saan pa talaga tayo papunta, Nestor?"Kanina pa siya mapilit at tahimik ako sa sarili. Every now and then I gave her my comfort smile while holding her hand.I know things are rough between us as I got busy because of attending to the business needs. But what's the point of everything if I have an unhappy wife beside me?The things that had happened enlightened me to work hard for my family's happiness, not mine.Napagtanto ko na unti-unti na pala akong lumalayo sa asawa ko, at hindi ko na siya nabibigyan ng panahon sa sarili. Simula kasi nang maisilang si Lovella ay binigay ko na ang espasyo at oras ni Rizalyn sa kanya.I stopped asking her to go out with me for a dinner date because she started to become busy with the kids.I always got home late because of work. And during weekends, I seldom attend our family gatherings. However, I spent a good quality time with the kids. We still ended up sitting in different positions.Wala nga naman talaga kaming quality para sa
Rizalyn's POV . "Come here and do more of these." Pilya ang ngiti ko habang hawak ang bola. Akala niya siguro totoong mangingisda kami. Hindi ano! Maglalaro lang kami sa toy world digital game rito. It has the same as what we had inside the timezone. Iyon nga lang, medyo malaki rito at marami kang pagpipilian. Naalala ko pa noon noong una akong naglaro sa time zone noon dahil bumagsak ako sa Mathematics na subject. Math 101 lang naman iyon at pinakasimpli sa lahat. Hindi kasi ako magaling sa numero, pero kalaunan ay nagustuhan ko na. Lalo na kapag negosyo na nag pinag-uusapan. 'If you can't play with numbers, you should know how to play your enemy's mind.' Ito ang katagang iniwan ni Papa bago silang dalawa bumalik ni Mama sa Pransya. Kalahating taon na yata na wala na akong balita sa kanila. Pinutol kasi nila ang bawat komunikasyon sa aming tatlo, ako, si Belinda at si Glorisha. Napagod si Papa sa buhay at gusto na niyang gawin ang lahat ng gusto niya kasama si Mama Irene. Kaya
Nestor's POV . "I want to clear up everything, Nestor. This is only plain business. You can trust me. I will be good to you." My jaw tightened while reading the last page of the document. I don't have any legal person with me, but Cathy has Atty Jammerson behind her. Kilala ko siya, siya ang isa sa mga personal na Atty ng kompanya ng Papa niya. I used to play golf with Cathy's father long time ago. Sumasama ako noon sa bawat linggo ng pagtitipon ng mga malalaking negosyante sa Pilipinas. My father was member of it, and most of the time, I joined him. And that's how I know most of them in the background. "Once you seal the deal, Nestor, I will seal everything I promise immediately." The excitement on her face was visible. She couldn't wait for me to sign it. I gritted my teeth, feeling uneasy about it. I told Rizalyn about this last night but didn't tell her the exact reason. She knows I will be working with Cathy but does not know the time frame. Gusto ko sanang sabihin lahat sa
Nestor's POV . I wake up with sharp pain in my head. I opened my eyes, and I smelled a wonderful scent all over me. What the. . . Napabagon ako at nilingon ang paligid ko. Malinis na malinis at halatang pati hangin ay nilinis niya. Umandar na naman yata ang pagiging perpeksyonista niya. 'wear me after you shower yourself!' Nagtagpo ang kilay ko nang mabasa ito. But then, after a few seconds, I smiled when I realized my wife was doing everything for me. I am proud of her. She's the best that happened to me. Bumaba ako pagkatapos maligo at magpalit ng damit. I wore the clothes that she prepared and even the slippers. I felt better after the warm shower. It helped me think a lot better now compared to how I was with myself last night. Ang malakas na tawa ni Nathaniel ang narinig mula sa kusina at nagtapo ang kilay ko. I rememered that the lunatic slept here last night. He dropped me off, but then again, he was too drunk to drive back to his residence. Kaya rito na siya pinagtulog n
Nestor's POV."I don't want a secretive type of relationship, Nestor. May as well tell your wife, as I don't want any conflict. My demands are hectic at times, and it requires your full attention. I want you to know that your focus should only be mine if I want you. I want nothing else, and I don't want anything in the background. So, to avoid trouble, please get your wife's approval. Then, straight away, I will settle all your debt at once."My jaw tightened as we stared. Cathy is not an ordinary woman. I know her. She's precise in all her works, as we were acquainted once. Alam ko kung bakit ako ang gusto niya at alam kung interesado siya sa akin noon pa. She can make a rule which will turn everything upside down. I doubt it if I could control her, but then, it will be the other way around. . . She will be my boss."Ayaw kong magkagulo, Nestor. Kilala mo ako. At kapag sinabi ko na dalawang linggo kitang gustong kasama ay wala kang magagawa rito. Of course, you can call your kids an
Rizalyn's POV."Are you both behaving? Don't give your Tita Vanny and your Nanay a headache, okay? Be good kids!""We will, Mommy! I love you!" si Ezequiel sa akin."And I love you too, Daddy!" si Lovella kay Nestor."Daddy buy me a big teddy bear, okay? Iyong life size, please." At talagang humirit pa si Lovella sa ama niya."I will, darling baby. Don't worry," si Nestor kay Lovella."And what about me? I want a toy too. A toy gun to be precise please," si Ezequil sa Ama niya. Ngumiwi ako. Iba talaga ang gusto ng batang ito. Taliwas sa santong pangalan niya."No guns for you.""It's not even real, Mommy. Ang KJ mo naman, Mommy.""Okay, okay. I will buy one for you, Eze, just look after your sister, okay? Promise me," si Nestor sa kanya."I will, Daddy. Ang kulit nga kanina. Gusto pumunta sa bandang ilog.""Lovella!" I cut of my son Ezequiel when I heard it. Tutubuan yata ako ng nerbyos nito dahil sa anak ko."Where's the yaya's? I want to talk to them now!" inis sa boses ko.Natahim
Nestor's POV."I'm sorry, Nestor. This is the only solution I can offer for you. I know it sounds ugly, but you must choose, and it's all up to you, bro."I gritted my teeth and released a slight air out. Talaga bang wala ng ibang paraan?"I will respect your decision, Nestor. I know what it feels like to lose something you built from scratch. But it's all up to you, bro. You know better than me. You have your wife and kids to think about. And if you tell this all to Rizalyn, I'm sure she will understand everything. It's just that you have no option at the moment."I looked at Bryce's eyes, and it damn hurt my pride. I know I will lose the company, and saving it for the last time with someone's offer never came to mind. But. . . Dammit."Cathy wants you for a cover, and I don't know why it has to be you. The contract is solid. Reread it and think about it, Nestor."My eyes were fixated on the document in front of me. Dalawang kompanya na ang nawala sa akin, at ang huling ito ang pina
Rizalyn's POV Oh, God! Sigaw ng isip ko nang maramdaman ang mapangahas na halik niya. My body was against the wall, and I could feel the cold concrete tiles on the back of my skin. His tongue seeks pleasure, and when he finally found it, the kisses he made inside my mouth made me moan for something. It was quick, and his mouth travelled down my jaw and neck. I gasped when I felt his thumb coaxingly playing the tip of my nipple. Halos mabaliw na ako sa ginagawa nang kamay niya habang walang humpay ang labi niya sa bahaging leeg ko. Buong lakas ang bahagyang pagbuhat niya sa katawan ko at naupo na ako ngayon sa ibabaw ng maliit na mesa rito. His mouth found mine again, and his kisses were never-ending. He parted my legs and positioned himself in between. Pinaghawi ang hita ko at pumwesto siya sa gitnang bahagi ko. Hindi ako nahiya at pinalupot ko pa ang sarili ko sa kanya. I never thought that his kisses was like this. Ang tagal kong pinangarap na mahalikan siya, na matikman ang
