“Hahaha!”
Shane’s laughter broke the silence when Audrey cupped her mouth after talking so much. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato. “You’re blushing,” he teased, looking at her face under the moonlight.
“No, I’m actually annoyed,” Audrey stated. She looked around and saw a bench ahead. They were in the orchard located ta the west side of the estate. The smell of ripening mangoes was so addictive that she focused herself on sniffing the sweet scent in the air instead of facing the man who couldn’t stop laughing while insisting that she was affected by his question.
“Come on, chub. Did you really not have a crush on me before? I was already so good looking when we were in grade school. I even received a lot of presents and love letters from th

“Mom, did you know that she was in Italy all this time? So I was the only one who has no idea,” Shane drank the water from his glass. “I thought she was just in the Visayas because that’s what John told me,” he added and faced her. “Did you tell your driver to give me lies when I was asking about your whereabouts?”“I…” Audrey stopped. Why would she feel guilty when he didn’t even bother to check on her when she was still in the Visayas before.“Tsk. I’m full,” he grumbled and left his seat.“Don’t mind him, Hija.” Mrs. Vargas comforted her.“It’s okay,” Audrey replied. She went on eating as nothing happened. Lingering in the past would only make the present more difficult. Just like her feelings for him. The more she kept it a secret, the harder she falls for him.“We believed that Shane was going to look for you after what happened on your wedding day. So telling him about your whereabouts would be making things easy for his search. I’m truly embarrassed to find

Shane locked himself up in the master’s bedroom after what happened. He couldn’t believe that his mother was aware of Audrey’s whereabouts, leaving him the only one who had no idea.He laid down on his chest, burying his face on the soft bed. His mind went chaotic. In fact, Shane was aware that Audrey didn’t have any obligation to notify him about her major decisions in life or whatsoever related to her choices but what she did hurt his pride. He believed that Audrey would always stay by his side no matter what. Audrey would always understand him. Audrey would always forgive him. And she would always wait for him.A sarcastic laughed escaped his lips. He literally took her for granted just because he knew she had no other friends but him. Just because he never considered that one day, she might change and aim high. And that day was realized wh

A high-pitched scream resounded the room. Audrey was too surprised to see Shane entered the room. She was too surprised that she even threw whatever she had in her hand directly to his face. Not only that, but Audrey also sprinted from where she was to his direction and pushed him outside the room before slamming the door at his face.“Hey! That was dangerous. You almost hit my face,” Shane complained.“You should have knocked first!” She yelled from the other side of the door.The man outside replied, “I did. But you didn’t open it so it wasn’t all my fault.”“What? Have you ever heard about privacy? That’s why I locked the door so no one could enter without my permission. Did I forced mysel

The party was held at the CEO’s mansion. Harrison Smith was born into a wealthy family but at a young age, he founded his own company and reached the zenith of the business world. Having a privilege to be invited to his party during a special occasion was a rare chance and a big deal for every entrepreneur in the country.Audrey entered the hall with Nathan. Just like before, they became the center of attention.Though there were fewer people than she expected, Audrey still felt uncomfortable by the attention she’s getting.The theme was blue and black. Black with blue polka dot patterned ribbons and artificial blue roses were decorated at the walls. Most of the guests are wearing either blue or white dresses for women and a black and white suit for men. There were only a few who were wearing bright colors such as yellow and pink and they really stood out. Luckily, she wore something that would match the theme, or else she would have become the center of entertainment due to her attire

Tristan’s sincere apology put a smile on Audrey’s pretty face. “If you said it that way from the last time, then we didn’t have to be hostile to each other until now,” she smiled at him and offered her hand. “Let’s forget about the past and live on,” she added.“So, friends?” Tristan asked after shaking their hands. A rare smile was sculpted on his lips. Well, as much as she remembered, Tristan never really smiled before. He would always smirk, laugh, and make funny faces to tease her.“Let’s forgive and forget first for now. As for friendship, let me think about it,” she stated and signaled a waiter to bring her some more drink.“Eh? I thought since you forgive me then we could become friends? What’s with your attitude?” He pouted and damn, she found it cute and adorable.‘Wait, what?’“Oh, Tristan. Give me a break. If see each other for the third time, then we can be friends. What do you think? Sounds nice, I know…” She teased.The waiter arrived with more drinks and Audrey exchanged

After a heavy discussion with his mom, Shane still had to attend Harrison's birthday celebration. If Lucy had stopped pestering him on the phone when he answered her call the moment he decided to ditch the party, he should have been drowning in liquors again. On the other hand, going to a reception means drinking and having fun. Instead of reflecting on what he did, the actor put on his 'mask' and drove to the venue despite his swollen face due to his mother's slap.The delightful music filled the enormous living room. There were people in the sofas, talking with wine glasses on their hands. Some with partners were enjoying swaying their bodies with the rhythm. The rest were casually munching on the food. Shane gaped around, looking for a particular guest. He hissed when he couldn't see Audrey in the crowd."Would you like some wine, Sir?" A guy in a waiter's uniform inquired while carrying a tray with wine glasses."Yes, thank you." He answered in a low voice which slightly intimidate

Shane’s eyes lit up when he saw the woman he was looking for since he arrived at the party. His steps were large yet careful as he made sure not to fall on the floor after having a little too much drink. His heartbeat was hysterical, and he felt his heart bouncing inside his chest. There was an obvious excitement in his eyes and a fair share of consciousness within him as he approached her. When he was a couple of meters away from Audrey, every fragment of passing happiness was gone in a blink, specifically when he recognized someone from the past.‘Tristan Reid.’ The name echoed in his head. Shane was unconsciously clenching his fist in annoyance. Audrey was actually talking to her bully and on top of that, she was smiling like nothing happened.He stood in the corner for a minute. Standing still like a statue there with his mouth shut and his fists tight. Silently, he listened to what they were talking about. He could not care less, not when Tristan was around. Another couple of minu

“Good night, Auddie.”Nathan shifted towards her to pat her head. After pulling over the car to the side several times because of the heavy rain, he successfully drove her safely back to the villa.“Good night. Drive safe,” she responded before getting off the car and ran to the door with her hands on her head. She knew it was silly but at least she tried not to get her head extremely wet, or she had to take a shower to avoid getting sick. She didn't like taking a shower at night. But when she saw her mother-in-law stepping out the door with an umbrella on her hands, Audrey knew it was too late to pace back to avoid bumping the elderly. The surface was slippery and she was wearing heels too. She had known that falling down was the only option to save Mrs. Vargas from an incoming disaster. “Oh!” She gasped as she fell.Audrey already anticipated plunging on the ground when a hand caught her from behind. Her eyes were tightly shut in
