Maine entered her uncle's room, pretending to be her doppelganger, while Sandro is watching something on his cellphone."Have you been here long?" her uncle asked, but she didn't respond.She quickly left, hearing her uncle mutter something about it being weird. Shortly after, Demi arrived and did the same thing. Then, their grandmother came in.They hurried to the car, the engine already running. Sandro was easily frightened, so she knew he would rush out soon. As expected, he bolted out of the house.They pretended to be newcomers, laughing."Wh-where are you c-coming from?" Sandro asked, trembling."We just went for a stroll with Maine. We saw Auntie carrying a lot of stuff, so I gave her a ride, why?" Demi pretended to be surprised."I s-saw you guys, j-just a while ago--" he stammered."Stop it, Sandro, you're just making up nonsense again," her grandmother scolded him, "let's go upstairs.""You haven't experienced it yet, that's why you think like that, uncle," she teased. "You

POV: DemiHe still finds himself thinking about Matilda even now. That girl really has a hold on him, he thought he had forgotten about her.She became even more beautiful and sexy. Even when she speaks, her appearance alone can disarm you, leaving you unable to stay angry.He really couldn't understand what he liked about her. Was it just her looks? Or is it really impossible to teach the heart to forget?He was caught off guard again earlier when he saw her, causing him to stutter while speaking. And jealousy consumes him while she's with that guy, Art, wishing he were the one with Matilda. So what he thought was him moving on, turns out he hasn't yet.He lay sprawled on the bed, reminiscing about his greatest love. He vividly remembered the moment she left him."Please, Matilda... just a little more time. I'll fix our business, I'll give you everything you want," he pleaded, kneeling in front of her, tears streaming down his face as he clung to her leg."Can't we, Demi? Let's stop

"Good morning," she greeted him, "I've been here for a while now, you weren't around, so I waited here" She smiled at him."Why are you here?" he asked, nervousness evident in her voice."I'm leaving. I'm here to-- I just wanted to apologize, and I hope we can be okay. Please also tell your partner, I'm sorry for what happened at the mall." Matilda smiled at him, melting his heart."Where are you going?" he asked, sadness lacing his tone."We're going back to Manila. Aren't you going to let me in?" she asked, seeking reassurance."Oh, uh, sure, sorry, come in," the guards greeted them as they entered.They went to the coffee shop inside the office and took their seats. He also ordered coffee."Still want the Machiato?" he asked her."Yes, please. You still remember," she settled in."Of course," he also ordered a slice of cake."Your building has changed a lot," she remarked in amazement."Yes, last year, I opened it up to other tenants, like food hubs. So people here can try differen

Chapter 24

"Why are you asking if Sandro knows that I met Matilda?" She asked confusedly, while riding the elevator with Toby."I don't know... I just thought they're not in good terms with Matilda," Toby replied."Why did they become not in good terms though? They used to be okay, right? I just can't ask Sandro, he gets angry," she responded to her friend. The elevator door opened, and they stepped out."Let's not talk about it. What did Matilda tell you?" he changed the subject."She's just saying goodbye. She and Art are leaving," she answered."The big guy?""You know him?""He's a friend of Matilda's ex-fiancé." "Sandro told me about it. What's the problem?" He persisted."Matilda is a literal gold digger. She's like a leech, wherever there's blood to suck, that's where she attaches herself. She might even try to get back with you.""What's wrong with that?"His friend paused, then faced him. "Considering all the suffering you've been through because of that woman, and you're still conside

Chapter 25

The next day, Toby and Amethyst ignored him. He felt like he was just air in his own company. Perhaps, they were still upset because of what he said. He would apologize to them later, once he proved that Matilda wasn't a bad person.He didn't know where their resentment was coming from because if it was just about her reputation as a gold digger, it shouldn't affect their friendship to that extent, to the point where they would even deny him.They only talked to him when they needed something, and they would quickly leave his office, unlike before when their conversations were longer than the business agenda.He was hurt, but he needed to stand firm and defend Matilda. Because he knew that one of these days, they would get back together.That day was sad for him, so he couldn't even bring himself to eat. He was surprised when his phone rang, it was Maine."Hi, Demi, are you okay?" the girl's voice sounded concerned."Yeah, I'm fine, why?" he tried to cheer himself up."Because yesterd

Chapter 26

The situation took a sudden turn when he found Matilda in front of his unit, carrying bags and crying. She looked at him, then ran towards him and hugged him."Help me... Art hurt me..." she said, tears staining her cheeks, a bruise visible on the side of her eye."Are you okay?" he hugged her back."I'm afraid Art might kill me..." she sobbed, "I'm scared, Demi... please help me...""Shhhh... I'll help you, don't worry," he gently moved Matilda away from him, "come inside, let's talk about it."He opened his unit and carried her bags inside. She continued sobbing as they walked."Sit down first," he said to her, "I'll get you something to drink."He went to the kitchen and fetched some juice. "Here, have a drink first."Listening to Matilda's heartbreaking story, he couldn't help but feel a mix of anger and sadness. It pained him to hear about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Art."Why did you come here? Why didn't you go home?" he asked, puzzled."He might follow me there. And

Chapter 27

"We were at a resort once, do you remember? At Villa La Trese? I noticed that Sandro was trying to flirt with me, but I didn't pay attention to him then because, well, I love you.Do you remember when we were heading home? And he said he'd take me home because you were feeling feverish? He confessed his love to me. But I didn't accept it.He even said he would ruin us. I got scared. So I asked him, didn't he ever think of you? He said, love is fair to everyone, nothing wrong with it because we're not married.Their angry feelings for me got even stronger when instead of going with Sandro, I went with my ex when we were about to break up, remember? I distanced myself to prevent any conflict between you two because I knew your friendship with Sandro was important.""Are they really furious at you?" He asked the woman. She just nodded. Now, everything becomes clear to him. His friends were traitors!He treated them like siblings, especially Sandro, only to find out that he would betray t

However, he thought he could endure his friends' behavior. That he could bear being ignored by them. He's hurt by what's happening with his friends.He's thinking, he didn't do anything wrong, so why do his friends seem to be avoiding him?In truth, what his friends did by covering up Sandro's mistake is something they should be ashamed of. They didn't even give him a chance to explain.His relationship with Sandro is now broken. All because of Matilda. Hopefully, they talked about it early on. It's another thing that adds to him sadness, Sandro grew up with him, and he's like a brother to him."Can we talk?" he asked Amethyst, handing him a contract she had closed. "We can't continue like this, especially since we work together.""Why? What do we need to talk about now? How you'll let Matilda manipulate you again?" she retorted. "Or how you'll call us again when you're broken? Is that it?""Why are you so angry at Matilda? She hasn't done anything wrong to you guys," he said, clearly

"I can wrap Demi around my finger, and he's the one who trusts me," that's Matilda's voice."You might enjoy that man too much," Art's voice said."I need to give him a taste, so he'll believe me. So it won't be noticed. I'll gradually take his money.""Did he believe your story about his friend?""Yes, he's dumb. That Sandro thinks he can just reject me!""Did that man really reject you?" Art asked."Yes, he had some friend rule nonsense.""I hope you get his wealth soon, we have to pay something today. We need the money badly.""I'm still figuring it out, within this week, I'll just wait for him to really fall for me.""He might find out what you did to Sandro before.""Which one? The one where I was going to choke him? I know Sandro, he won't tell, because he knows it'll hurt Demi. His two annoying friends saw us, luckily, they're professional and they stick to the agreement.""How did you manage to silence them?""I just said that Demi would kill himself if I left him, so it was o

Chapter 30

"That's what happened, Demi. We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to get hurt," Sandro said to him."I believe you, bro. I heard it straight from Matilda and Art. They planned to drain me of my money before they come for you," he replied to the man."Do you want us to teach them a lesson?" Sandro asked."How?" he asked."Find a woman willing to marry you. Someone we're sure won't get hurt. Pretend you're inviting her to marry you, then marry someone else, and we'll take care of the rest," Sandro explained."Where would I find such a woman?""You'll find plenty willing to agree if money is involved.""Uncle Sandro.. where is the scissors you took from my room?" Maine frowned, "You're so nosy and you don't even know how to return things!""It's just there, why don't you look for it," Sandro replied."I know, I'll find a girl in Manila," she said."What do you need a girl for?" Maine asked."We just have something to discuss," Sandro answered. "Go find the scissors, they might b
