"CHEF VINCENT DEL CARMEN 1"

“HOW are you, Chef Vincent Del Carmen?”Randy greeted warmly, his voice echoing with an unmistakable enthusiasm as he stepped into Vincent’s condominium. The space exuded an air of sophistication, with its sleek, modern design. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathed the room in natural light, illuminating the minimalist furniture and pristine kitchen countertops—a setup that perfectly reflected Vincent’s meticulous personality.Randy’s wide smile and relaxed posture seemed almost out of place in the immaculate setting, a stark contrast to the intensity of his old friend’s world. It was a rare occasion to see Randy after so many years. Once upon a time, they had shared a cramped dorm room during their university days in America, where the chaos of student life had forced their contrasting personalities into an unlikely friendship. Their time as roommates had lasted barely six months, cut short when their schedules began pulling them in different directions.Randy had been the life of the par

"CHEF VINCENT DEL CARMEN 2"

“Anyway,” Randy said, his voice shifting back to its usual easygoing tone, effectively breaking the lingering tension. He leaned forward slightly, his expression sharpening. “Let’s get to business. About the restaurant…”His words snapped Vincent’s attention back to the matter at hand. The casual conversation they’d been having seemed to fade away, replaced by the business proposition that had brought him here in the first place. Vincent had been expecting this—Randy had mentioned wanting to talk about Festive in their earlier messages, but hearing it now, spoken so deliberately, immediately grabbed his focus.Vincent straightened, his posture becoming more professional as he pushed his glass aside, attention fully engaged. Randy’s offer was not just any business deal—it was Festive, one of the country’s most celebrated buffet restaurants, known for its innovative approach and large clientele.It was a high-profile establishment, and for someone like Vincent, with the ambition and res

ONE WEEK LATERThe door to Isla’s modest apartment swung open with a familiar creak, and Cherry’s voice rang out, unmistakable and full of energy.“Where’s my handsome godson?” she called, her presence as lively as always.Cherry had a way of brightening any room she entered, and Isla felt a small relief at the sound of her best friend’s cheerful tone.Isla, focused on brewing the coffee for the evening, looked up from her task with a warm smile. She had been anticipating Cherry’s arrival. “You’re late,” Isla teased, her eyes softening as she caught sight of Cherry’s exuberant face. “Matthew’s been waiting for you all evening. He wants to show you the star he earned in school today.”Isla’s voice carried an affectionate lilt, knowing full well how much Matthew adored his godmother.Cherry’s eyes lit up immediately. With a quick laugh, she turned and hurried toward the hallway where Matthew was eagerly awaiting her. The six-year-old practically bounced off the walls with excitement, h

"THE ROOM LEFT BEHIND"

LATER that night, Isla stood silently at the threshold of Matthew’s room, watching her son sleep. The soft rise and fall of his small chest brought her comfort, yet the ache inside her only deepened. She quietly walked over to his bed and knelt beside him, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. The room was silent, save for the soft sounds of his breathing.“Baby,” Isla whispered, her voice fragile, breaking as she spoke the words that had weighed on her heart for so long. “Why can’t I give you the life you deserve?”She pressed her fingers gently against his cheek, the tears she had held back threatening to spill. She had tried so hard to be everything Matthew needed, but deep down, she feared she hadn’t given him enough. Not the life she had envisioned for him, filled with opportunities and love without the weight of their struggles.*****VINCENT sat across from his mother in the softly lit dining room, the ambient hum of the city just outside their window, but his mind felt

"THE NEW BOSS"

A sweet smile spread across Isla’s lips as she opened the magazine, and the face of a familiar family greeted her. It was none other than Chef Vincent Del Carmen, the most handsome man she had ever known. Seeing his picture felt like uncovering a treasured keepsake she had long forgotten. There he was, standing tall and proud, his signature charming smile lighting up the page. The sight of him stirred something deep within her—a mix of nostalgia and quiet admiration. She couldn’t help but marvel at how the boy she once knew had become such a celebrated figure.The thought lingered in her mind: It feels like it was just yesterday, and now you're so famous. I wonder if you still think about me?She leaned back in her chair, her fingers lightly brushing the edges of the magazine. It was a silly thought, perhaps, but one she couldn’t shake. Memories of their time together came flooding back, vivid and full of life. She remembered the way his eyes sparkled when he talked about his dreams,

"THE NEW BOSS 2"

SIX YEARS AGO...“Hurry up and eat, I’m going to bed. You’ll take care of these, understand?” Aida’s sharp voice rang out, cutting through the quiet of the dimly lit kitchen.Her stepmother’s tone was as strict as ever, leaving no room for argument or delay. Aida stood there, arms crossed, her eyes narrowing as if daring Isla to protest. But Isla had learned long ago that resistance was futile. “Yes, Tita Aida,” Isla replied obediently, her voice soft but steady. She lowered her gaze, focusing on the plate in front of her. Two small pieces of dried fish sat atop a mound of rice, a meal that was simple but enough to fill her stomach for the night. As she began to eat, she could hear Aida’s footsteps retreating toward the bedroom, the sound of the door closing signaling her stepmother’s departure. The kitchen, though modest and cluttered, was a space Isla had grown accustomed to. At one end of it was an extension—a small, cramped area that served as the maid’s quarters. This was wh

“HER DEEPEST SECRET”

"You're so lucky, do you know that? At least you get to see him every day. You probably don’t know what it’s like to miss him because he lives in the same mansion," April said excitedly the next day during their free time at school.Her voice was full of admiration, and Isla could hear the longing in her tone as she leaned back in her seat. It was a simple statement, but it carried so much weight. April had always been fascinated by Vincent, and Isla had heard her talk about him countless times since they were both in high school. But today, it felt different. There was a certain intensity in her words, a certain yearning that Isla couldn't ignore.Isla, on the other hand, had mixed feelings about Vincent. Yes, she got to see him almost every day, but it wasn’t as glamorous as April seemed to think. Vincent was more than just someone she could gaze at from a distance. He was someone she had grown up with. They had shared childhood memories, grown up in the same neighborhood, and spent

"A SURPRISE INVITATION 1"

That evening, as Isla stood by the sink washing the dinner plates, the soft hum of a car pulling into the mansion's garage reached her ears. The sound was familiar, instantly recognizable, and it sent her heart racing. She froze for a moment, gripping the plate in her hand as anticipation coursed through her veins. There was no mistaking it—it had to be Vincent. The steady rhythm of the engine echoed in her mind, amplifying her growing nervousness. She tried to focus on her task, but the thought of seeing him again so soon made her palms clammy, and her breath hitched. She instinctively knew which door he would use. The kitchen door had always been his preferred entry point whenever he returned home late, and tonight was no exception. Taking a deep breath, she braced herself, willing her heart to calm down. She quickly glanced around the room, ensuring everything was in order, as if tidiness could somehow steady her swirling emotions. Then, the faint sound of footsteps approached, c

"A SURPRISE INVITATION 2"

THE next day at university, Isla was taken aback when Vincent suddenly appeared at her classroom’s doorway, his tall frame filling the entrance. He approached their English professor, his presence commanding enough to make everyone pause. With a confident, yet calm tone, Vincent asked for permission to excuse Isla from class. The boldness of his gesture left Isla momentarily speechless, her mind racing as she tried to comprehend what was happening. She hadn’t expected this, and the suddenness of it all sent a flutter through her chest. The whole class fell silent, watching the interaction unfold, but Isla was too stunned to do anything more than stare at him.Her classmates, however, weren’t as reserved. Whispers and giggles spread like wildfire the moment the professor gave his approval. Renz, who always found any opportunity to tease Isla, didn’t hold back. “Ooh, look at that! Someone’s getting special treatment!” he shouted across the room, his voice carrying a teasing tone. Isla

"SWEETHEART”

"OH, where's your packed lunch?" Vincent asked her, his voice curious as he leaned back against the sturdy trunk of the mango tree. They were sitting in a secluded corner of the university, a peaceful spot surrounded by the lush greenery of the campus. The tree's branches formed a natural canopy above them, casting dappled shadows on the ground and providing shelter from the midday sun. The area was far enough from the busy walkways, with only the occasional student passing by, too preoccupied with their own affairs to notice the two of them. It was Isla's go-to place when she needed a moment to herself, a retreat where she could gather her thoughts without the constant noise and distractions of campus life. This place had become a small sanctuary for her, one that allowed her to recharge in peace.Isla loved the quiet solitude this spot offered. The gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze and the occasional chirp of birds were the only sounds that broke the silence. It was a place wh
