"Zack, tatlong taon na tayong kasal, at ni minsan ay hindi mo pa ako sinipingan. A-ayoko na, Zack, hindi ko na kaya pa, kaya naman sumusuko na ako sa pagsasama nating ito para maging masaya ka na kasama ang tunay mong minamahal. H-hindi ba't ito naman ang gusto mo? Ang makalaya sa kasal na ito?" Garalgal at may halong pait na tanong ni Rhian. "Pagkatapos ng gabing ito, hanapin mo na siya at puntahan. Ngunit sa ngayon, isipin mo na lang na kabayaran ito sa pagmamahal na inilaan ko sa iyo sa loob ng nakaraang mga taon..." Matapos sabihin iyon ni Rhian, yumuko siya at mapangahas na hinalikan sa labi si Zack na ngayon ay nasa kaniyang ilalim, naghahalo ang kaniyang kasabikan at kawalan ng pag-asa. Parang isang gamu-gamo na siyang dumapo mismo sa apoy na siyang tutupok sa kanya. "Rhian, ang lakas ng loob mong gawin ito!!!" Alam niyang marumi ang kanyang mga paraan. Gusto lang maangkin ni Rhian ang asawa sa una at huling pagkakataon. Pagkatapos ng gabing ito, siya ay lalayo. Ngunit ang una at huling na pinagsaluhan nilang dalawa ay nagbunga at sa kanyang pagbabalik ay muli silang nagkita... “Zack, bitiwan mo ako! Baliw ka ba? Nasa isang pribadong silid tayo! Maaaring may pumasok anumang oras!” Ang kanyang ex-husband na ‘hindi siya minahal ay hinahalikan siya ngayon... ngayon, ito naman ang naghahabol sa kanya!

"Holy crap, you are so boring!" He pushed her against the wall, placing his hands on either side of her and staring into her eyes in frustration. He is shirtless and has flat abs touching her body, which is giving her goosebumps. "I don't know how to kiss." She looked at the man, pouting her lips. He scoffed at her boring reply. "Teach me how to kiss." She mumbled, licking her lips, and grabbed his attention. He looked down at her and stroked his hair with his fingers, pulling her close by her waist. "Stand on my toes." He smirked, sending chills down her spine. She climbed over, placing both feet on his toes. "Look into my eyes." He grabbed her chin and make her look into his eyes. She looked into his green-pricing eyes, rolling her fingers on his trimmed beard. "Concentrate on my lips." He synced, licking his lips. Her heart skipped a beat as he pressed her thin lips between his thumbs. And she moaned in response, rolling her eyes at his lips. "Seal your lips on mine and chew it up like an ice cream." He explained the first step, bending his head to seal her lips. "Aaaachuuuuu!!" She sneezed loudly before he sealed her lips. "ANGELINA." He yelled at the top of his lungs. "I’m sorry, hubby." Angelina closed her eyes, covering them with both hands.
