"Mohon maaf, Pak. Apa bapak sudah menikah?" tanya salah seorang guru perempuan. Aira yang mendengar pertanyaan tersebut langsung menunduk dan tersenyum. "Belum," jawab Evan santai. Jleb! Hati Aira terasanyeri seketika, tiba-tiba saja matanya mengandung air dan tangannya mengepal kuat, napasnya mulai tidak teratur, tidak ingin memperkeruh suasana, Aira berniat untuk keluar dari ruangan rapat. Disisi lain, Evan yang melihat Aira keluar hanya bisa diam. Sampai rapat selesai Evan tampak tidak fokus, dan hampir semua pertanyaan Tio yang menjawab dan Farra, ia tidak sadar kalo Aira tidak balik lagi. Setelah rapat selesai, Evan langsung keluar. *** Evan berjalan mendekati Aira, tapi sebelum masuk Evan menutup pintu kelas. Aira yang melihat Evan datang langsung berdiri. "Ngapain?" tanya Aira datar. "Lu marah?" Evan balik bertanya membuat Aira memicingkan matanya. "Nggak ada yang perlu dimarahin," lanjut Aira lalu ia melangkah ingin keluar dari kelas. Tanpa mambuang waktu Evan langsung menarik tangan Aira dan menghimpitnya ke dinding. "Gua tau lu pasti marah dengan pengakuan gua tadi," lanjut Evan, ntah kenapa kata-kata Evan tersebut membuat mata Aira kembali mengembun, ia memalingkan wajahnya. "Lepasin gua," ucap Aira, tapi Evan malah mempersempit jarak mereka. "Gua bilang lepasin, nggak ada yang perlu dipermasalahkan, jalani hidup lu biar gua jalani hidup gua sendiri!" suara Aira mulai meninggi. Ntah kepada saat Evan dekat dengan Aira, ia selalu hilang kendali. Evan malah menarik tengkuk Aira dan menciumnya. Aira yang melihat itu langsung menangis dan berusaha mendorong dada Evan, setelah sadar Evan melepas Aira.

Sa araw mismo ng Christmas Day, isang “surprise” ang natanggap ni Shiena—pero hindi ito ang pagbubuntis na inaasahan niyang ikatutuwa ng asawa niya. Instead, she discovers the cruel truth inside the hospital lounge: she was never the wife he truly wanted. Isa lang siyang kapalit. A shadow of the woman her husband, the brilliant and untouchable doctor William, could never forget. Shattered by betrayal, humiliation, and the child growing inside her womb, Shiena chooses to walk away from the marriage she fought so hard to protect. But leaving the man she loved turns out to be the biggest mistake. Because the moment she disappears, the cold doctor who never explained, never cared, and never looked back begins to realize the one truth he was too blind to see: the woman he pushed away was the only one who ever truly loved him. Now that she’s rebuilding her life, chasing the dreams she once sacrificed for him, William is determined to get her back. But what if the woman he broke no longer wants to be healed by him? And what if the child he never knew existed becomes the proof of the doctor’s greatest mistake? … Napaatras si Shiena nang mariin nitong isinara ang pinto ng office. His hand slammed against the wall beside her head, trapping her between his body and the cold surface. His usually calm eyes were now filled with desperation. “You left without a word… and you think I’ll let you disappear again?” “Too late, Doc. You already chose her.” Then he lowered his gaze to the little boy hiding behind her legs. For the first time, the great Dr. William De la cruz looked cruletely shattered. “He’s… mine?” “That was the child you threw away before you even knew he existed.”

“Kiss me,” Dante said. His undertone burned with desire as much as his hooded grey eyes. “I will not.” Sophia chuckled, trailing a finger against his hard-clothed chest, biting on her lower lips and relishing in the frustration his expression held. Dante growled, staring down at her. “You little tease.”He grunted enclosing his palm around her jaw and smashing her gently against the wall. “Oh…...” Sophia gasped. Her breath hitched and her walls tingled as she stared into Dante's eyes. Gosh! He was the hottest man on earth. Deep lustful grey eyes that pleased to let him kiss her, heavy breath that showed how much he yearned for her. Her inner churned and she moved her fingertip against his cheeks, watching the rise and fall of his chest. “Kiss me.” She whispered with eyes that granted approval and soaking wet cunt, that burned with the desire to be touched by him. Dante’s cock jerked in gratification. Without further words he cupped the base of her neck, smashing his lips against hers and kissing her hungrily like she was his first taste of wine. If Sophia had the world, she would give it to Dante, but she had just her pure beautiful heart—the total opposite of the man Dante is.

He would lay the world for her, and if she desired, then the world would cease to exist. Something that started as mare lust has whirled into powerful love, breaking the resolve that Dante spent his entire existence building. She was everything he desired, only that she was the standing ovation to the victory he spent his existence working for.
