"Dark Mocha Frap for Arrienne."I’m here at Starbucks, across the condo where Jean lives.I barely slept last night, thinking about everything she said.I wasn’t planning on coming here today. I was just going to ask Jace once he got back. But as time passed, the more restless I became.Earlier, I even met up with Aya and Joy—I really needed someone to talk to.{Flashback}"Ugh! Just break up with him already!" Aya exclaimed.I met up with them here at Sta. Lucia East. Since Jacky and Genna couldn’t come, it was just the two of them with me."Don’t be like that. You should find out the truth first," Joy countered.Perfect! Now I’m even more confused because of them! Aya was on my left, and Joy was on my right.Honestly, they were like an angel and a demon whispering in my ears!"But he’s done this before, remember? That’s why Arrienne ran away in the first place," Aya reminded Joy."But what if Jean just made it all up? What if Jace really loves Arrienne?" Joy reasoned."Well—""Hello

Jace's POVI woke up hugging Arrienne’s pillow.Haizz. I wish this pillow were Arrienne instead.I can’t waste any time. I need to find her and bring her back here.I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.I took off my boxer shorts and stepped under the shower.I grabbed the soap when a thought crossed my mind.Something feels off?Ahh, never mind. I need to hurry.I faced the mirror to brush my teeth.I smiled.She didn’t even bother taking her toothbrush. Hers and mine are in the same mug. I grabbed her toothbrush and used it instead.Psss. Where should I look for her first? I already went to her friends’ places last night, but she wasn’t there. The only one I didn’t see was Jacky because no one was at the condo where she and Arrienne used to live.Another problem is that I don’t have their numbers, so I had to ask for them last night. Good thing I know where the four of them live.I’ll just call Jacky later—maybe she knows where Arrienne is.I stepped out of the bathroo

TuesdayI was so busy today that I didn’t even notice the time—it was already lunchtime.May mentioned earlier that there was something on the freedom wall that I had to see. But I haven’t had the time. What could it be?I might as well go check it out. It’s on the third floor since our company occupies the entire floor.I took the elevator up. Might as well drop by to see Arrienne too.As soon as I stepped out, everyone was looking at me.Why? What’s going on? It’s as if they were all waiting for me to come here. Some of them even came out of their rooms.Frowning, I walked toward the freedom wall.And there it was—a huge cartolina posted in the center. It was the biggest one and stood out because usually, people just write directly on the glass wall. There’s no need to stick anything.Arrienne´s POVIt’s already lunchtime, but Jace still hasn’t sent me a message.He usually texts me frequently, so he must really be busy today.I brought the teddy bear he gave me to the office. I jus

Arrienne's POVI slowly stopped crying, even though my scalp still hurt from Jean pulling my hair.I felt lighter because of Jace’s embrace.I was so touched by the things he said. But poor Jean—so that’s why she acted that way. She had loved Jace for a long time.I lifted my head to look at Jace. His face was filled with worry. I smiled at him, hoping it would make him feel better.He smiled back."Do you want to go home?" he asked.I nodded. I didn’t want to stay here any longer after what happened."Okay, let’s go home," he said, then picked up my things.He put his arm around me and guided me out of the room. But before we left, he turned to Ms. Carmen."Ahm, Ms. Carmen, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you—Arrienne’s taking a half-day off," he said before we continued walking.When we got into the elevator, he pressed 5."Let’s get my stuff first," he said, then kissed the top of my head.When we arrived, I saw May looking confused. Maybe because I was with Jace."May, cancel all my ap

Arrienne´s POVThe days passed by quickly. It’s Saturday now. I’ve somewhat gotten used to being called "Ma’am" at the office. I don’t really pay much attention to it anymore. But I did get a little annoyed yesterday. My trainee, Charmaine—my replacement—suddenly started acting distant around me. She seemed so scared of making mistakes that she ended up making even more. I later found out that someone had gossiped to her that I was the owner’s wife. No wonder she was acting like that. Right now, I’m cleaning the house. I don’t really have anything else to do. And Jace? He’s still working, even on a Saturday. He’s in the living room, completely focused. At this rate, he might as well build an office here. I grabbed a glass of juice to bring to him. "Aren’t we going to get too rich at this rate? You barely even take a break from work," I teased as I hugged him from behind the sofa and handed him the glass. He let out a soft chuckle and took a sip. After setting the glass down,
