บททั้งหมดของ Love in Beta: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Maya sat in the cozy corner of her apartment, the soft hum of city life outside blending with the low volume of the music playing in the background. Her thoughts were swirling, but they were different now. She wasn’t running away from them anymore. Hindi na siya takot. And for the first time in what felt like forever, she was allowing herself to feel everything that she was beginning to feel for Ash. It had been a month since their spontaneous day trip, and things between them had only gotten deeper. They had shared more moments, laughed at silly things, and spent late-night conversations talking about everything and nothing at all. Maya could feel the connection between them growing stronger with each passing day. She wasn’t sure how it happened, but it was undeniable now. Ash wasn’t just the guy from SoulLink anymore. He was becoming a part of her life, someone who made her heart feel safe, heard, and seen.Her phone buzzed, pulling her from her thoughts. It was Ash.“I’ll be there

Limang buwan na pala. Five months. As Maya sat in her favorite coffee shop, the comforting hum of the crowd around her a distant background noise, she realized just how much had changed in her life. Five months ago, she was uncertain about love, about opening up to someone again. Yet, here she was—feeling content, secure, and loved.But then again, Asher Reed was no ordinary man. He wasn’t just the CEO of NovaSpire, nor the guy she had matched with on SoulLink. He was now someone who had slowly, but surely, made his way into her heart—through patience, kindness, and understanding. He had been courting her for five months, and in every way that mattered, he had proven to her that he wasn’t just in this for the thrill of a casual relationship. He was serious.And she? Well, she was trying to catch up. It wasn’t easy. Maya had always been guarded, especially after everything that had happened to her in the past, but with Ash, she was finding it easier to open up. He made her feel like sh

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when Ash and I found ourselves sitting on the roof deck of my apartment, the city’s skyline spread out before us like a vast, glittering canvas. The soft breeze kissed my skin, and the distant hum of traffic was oddly soothing. It had been a long week—one full of meetings, family obligations, and the usual chaos of life. But today, it felt like the world had paused just for us. I wasn’t sure if it was the calm of the moment or the lingering thoughts in my mind, but something about today felt different. There was a kind of weight to it, a quiet anticipation, as if the universe itself was holding its breath.Ash was sitting beside me, his arm brushing against mine. He had this relaxed vibe to him, but I could see the way his jaw tightened every now and then. As always, he had that magnetic energy about him, and yet, there was something vulnerable in the way he looked at me. Something that hinted at the emotions he was choosing to leave unsaid.We’d been

Pagising ko kinabukasan, ang unang bagay na tumakbo sa isip ko ay si Ash. I couldn’t help it. After the events of yesterday, everything felt like a dream come true. Hindi ko pa rin ganap matanggap na magkasama kami now, officially, as in boyfriend-girlfriend na. Yesterday was perfect, but today—today was just as good.I rubbed my eyes, stretching as I sat up in bed, and glanced at my phone. I was half-expecting a message from Ash, and I wasn’t disappointed.Good morning, Maya. I hope you slept well. How about we grab breakfast together later?I smiled at the simplicity of it. It wasn’t grand or overly romantic, but it was just right. It felt real.Good morning, Ash. I did, thanks. Breakfast sounds perfect. See you in a bit?A few minutes later, he replied.I’ll pick you up in 30. Don’t keep me waiting.I chuckled. That was Ash, playful and direct. I stood up from the bed and started getting ready. It was strange, but in the best way possible, I felt a little lighter. I had nothing to

It’s been a month since we officially became a couple, and things were starting to feel... right. Hindi ko alam kung anong magic meron kami ni Asher, pero araw-araw, it just felt like we were getting closer. Everything was falling into place, and kahit na medyo may mga moments of uncertainty, parang lahat ng obstacles na dumarating were just part of the process. Every day was better than the last, and I couldn't help but feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be.Today was a typical Saturday, pero this time, I had a feeling it would be a bit different. Ash had hinted the night before na meron siyang plano for us today, and I was honestly curious kung anong meron. I wasn’t the type to get all hyped up over surprises, pero with him, I couldn’t help but feel a little excited.As I sat at my kitchen counter, sipping my coffee, I checked my phone for messages. True enough, there was a text from Ash. Good morning, Maya. I know you probably have no idea what’s going on, but trust m
