Chapter 31

Because his friends were busy, he brought Maine with him to Manila. She was talkative and had many stories."How's your girl?" she asked, chewing. "She really looks flirtatious.""I told her I'm leaving for a while, and she agreed to stay at her mom's place for now," he replied. "Can I have some of those chips?"She offered him some, saying, "I can't let you hold the chips, my car might get dirty," rolling her eyes at him.He chuckled. He had asked her to bring a different car. It was his friend's mom's driver who brought the car from the airport to the condo. They were using it to avoid it getting stuck."I wonder where I can find a girl I can pay," he asked."Just go to some upscale bars, I'll go with you.""You seem to like going to bars.""Not really. Usually, my boyfriend sends for me, then I drop him off at his house.""What does he do?""He works in a company. When he got promoted, he got into other women. I don't want to give myself to him until we're married. But he got impat

"He really went too far... he really humiliated me," Maine said, tears streaming down her face as she drank alcohol, "why did he do that to me, Demi?"They saw Dylan at the bar, accompanied by another woman. Dylan introduced her as just an acquaintance and even told the girl that Maine likes men with lots of money. The girl was deeply hurt by the insult she received.In retaliation, he flashed some money to Dylan's dance partner, and then handed her twenty thousand, telling her to leave Dylan on the dance floor, which the girl promptly did.Dylan was furious, but did not dare to argue with him because he was such a big guy. Maine was hurt, which is why she was crying. "That was really out of line. What he did to you was wrong," Demi said, comforting Maine. "Don't let him belittle you like that. You don't need to hold onto resentment, Maine."Demi could see the anger in Dylan's eyes as he approached. "Dylan, that's enough," he said, trying to defuse the situation.But Dylan didn't sto

Maine had returned home, lying down on her bed. However, she couldn't shake off what Demitri had offered. She was surprised by his proposal.She was carefully considering whether to accept his offer. What if she did get involved with him? What would she do? But his intentions seemed genuine.Earlier, she was irritated, feeling like Dylan was avoiding her. She was hurt seeing him flirting with others, unable to accept that he was happy while she hadn't moved on yet.She realized that there are indeed people who don't care about others' feelings. He even approached her to say something unpleasant.She went out of her room to make coffee. But she was surprised to see someone else coming out of the adjacent room."Can't sleep either?" the man asked her with a smile."Yeah, insomnia is hitting me. I'll just read while I have my coffee," she replied."I'll brew you a cup," he said, heading to the kitchen.He prepared two cups, added coffee and sugar, then heated water."Should I add creamer

"Wow, Maine! Looks like you still want a lot from me," he greeted her provocatively. She ignored him and replied, "I won't be coming back to you.""I don't care about you, Dylan. Don't bother me now," she said to him."How will you work then, since you didn't graduate? Your only asset is your beauty," he taunted her."You know, you only passed college because of my theses and my money, maybe you've forgotten?" she retorted, "Are you dumb? You only passed because you were a varsity player?""Don't show off to me, Maine, we're in my territory!""So what? Can't handle losing? You started it, I'm just fighting back. You know, Dylan, when you belittle someone, make sure your hands are clean! Despite your arrogance, you're just a manager!""At least I'm going somewhere in life, unlike you!" he smirked."Ma'am, here's your mango juice," the waiter placed the juice on the table."Thank you," she smiled."Give that back!" Dylan ordered the waiter, "That girl has no money to pay.""What's your

"What's going on here?" Demi's voice rang out."Oh, looks like your sugar daddy's here to pick you up," Dylan smirked, "coming to rescue you, huh?""Hey! Tell your pet off, she slapped me!" Dylan's girlfriend shouted."She broke the bracelet you gave me, the one we bought at the mall," she complained."It's okay, we can just buy another one," Demi reassured her."Of course, it was cheap anyway!" Dylan added."You know what, I'm onto you," Demi said to Dylan, "are you trying to act cute with my fiancée?""No way!!" He seemed disgusted by the idea."I'll sue you!" the woman yelled, "I know a lot of lawyers and judges, and—""Go ahead!! Bring it on! Just pay for my bracelet, and I'll have you both jailed! These arrogant people, acting like they're the president's kids just because they finished college!" she retorted."You should call the police to get these two out of here," Dylan said in response."Who are you planning to call the police on?" Sandro's voice boomed, accompanied by Ameth

"Are you serious about this?" Sandro asked Demi, looking surprised."Well, I feel like Matilda would feel even more insecure if I replaced her with someone younger, don't you think?" Demi responded. "And besides, I want Dylan to realize that he dumped a precious stone into the sea.""Uncle, I like Demi's plan. And Matilda's behavior really is terrible," Demi's friend chimed in."But Maine is still quite young," Amethyst pointed out."Do you want to be the one instead?" Sandro asked his friend."Well, Maine is at the right age," Amethyst replied, which caused everyone to laugh."You're so easy to talk to, Amethyst," Sandro chuckled."I might get dragged into this," Amethyst shrugged. "I don't want to get involved and risk upsetting Demi.""You're too much," Sandro grinned at his friend's comment."Just admit it, you're really stubborn," Toby added."And you two really ganged up on me?" Demi responded."What Toby said is true," Sandro agreed."I think Maine should be on my side," Demi d

"Lola, please talk to me," she knocked on the door for two hours, but no one opened it."Maine, just let mommy be for now; you seem like you don't know her... that's how she is when she's upset," her uncle Sandro intervened, "she'll come out tomorrow when she's feeling better.""But uncle, I'm not used to grandma being like this with me, you know she's my only ally," she cried."Let her be; you can't blame her because you're still young...""Should we just say it wasn't true?""That will only make her more upset; she might get even angrier with all of us.""But uncle, I'm not used to this.""Your mom, once she's thought things through, she'll approach you herself. What you should think about now is how you'll ask for permission from Aunt Sarina, your mom. She might do something worse to you."She thought about it. They needed to go to another province to visit her parents."W-what should I do?" she asked him."Are you really decided?""Yes, uncle, because you know, Dylan's wealthy rel

Chapter 38 The Engagement

She felt like there was chaos outside, but she didn't want to get involved just yet. She still felt half-asleep.She headed to the bathroom to take a shower. She immersed herself in the water. She felt tired, like she hadn't slept much.She decided to check the time. Her eyes widened.(Is my clock broken? Why is it already eleven? How did I not realize it's already noon? Why?)She hurried her shower. She didn't know what had happened or how she had overslept.She put on a floral dress and added a ribbon to her hair. She applied a bit of powder and lipstick. She had picked up the habit of dressing up from her mother and grandmother, so she adopted it even when at home.Passing by her grandmother's room, she knocked. No response. She opened the door, but her grandmother wasn't there. Perhaps the old lady was out.Arriving in the living room, no one was there, yet she had heard commotion earlier.(Am I getting old? Where is everyone?) She whispered to herself.The study room door opened,

Chapter 39 Starting the Game

"How did you convince my mom?" she asked the man, "It seems like your conversation went quickly?"They were sitting on a swing, swaying gently."You just woke up at noon, but we've discussed a lot. They want to take care of you properly, rather than you ending up with someone else. They're relieved that you're with me because they know me, unlike some other man marrying you," Demi explained."Were they here early?""Around five o'clock, they visited me at home, then we came here at eight to talk to your grandma.""What about Matilda?""She called me, said she's in Manila but couldn't get into my unit, so she went back to hers.""When will you tell her that— that you'll marry me?""We'll have an engagement party and invite her," he replied with a smile, "she'll think we're the ones getting married.""Are you really that angry with her?" she asked."I'm not just angry, Maine, I'm furious. She played with me, almost ruined our friendship with Sandro because of her.""Would she really agr

Chapter 40 Engagement Party

Only close friends were invited to that party. Matilda arrived looking poised and stunning. She greeted everyone present, accompanied by her boyfriend Art, who was in disguise to avoid being recognized."Hi baby," she kissed Demi on the cheek, "this party is so nice, what's the occasion?""Just a thanksgiving gathering," he smiled at her."Why is that girl invited?" Matilda pointed at her."This is our party, be grateful you were invited," she retorted, rolling her eyes at Matilda before turning away."That girl is so snooty," Matilda whispered to her, "anyway, I'll just stay by your side, okay?""That's fine," Demi replied to her."It looks like your friends aren't here?" she asked Demi."Would they ever miss this?" she answered. "They're here, of course.""Excuse me, I'll go to the men's room," Demi excused himself. This left her and Matilda alone."Why do you always try to cling to Demi?" she asked her."Me?" she was surprised by what she said."Yes, you! Once Demi and I are marrie
