"Lila," I began softly, choosing my words. "About last night..." She stood abruptly, cutting me off. "Don't. There's nothing to apologize for. It happened." I frowned, trying to gauge her. "So, what are you saying?" She crossed her arms, steadying herself. "I'm saying I have a deal for you." "A deal?" "We keep seeing each other- secretly. No one has to know. No strings attached." I stared at her, wondering if she was serious. But from the look in her eyes, I knew she was. *** Lila Frost, a brilliant bio-genetics student and the fiercely protected sister of Alpha King Ronan, returns to Silver Lake for a quiet summer focused on her research.

The secret she carries threatens not only her heart but also her bond with her overprotective brother. As Caden remains unaware of Lila's internal struggle, Ronan uncovers the truth about their relationship- and his fury knows no bounds. Now, Lila must confront her feelings, her brother's wrath, and the uncertainty of what her future holds. Can she risk everything for a chance at love with Caden?

"I'm breaking up with you, I'm sorry." He said while we're in a fastfood chain having our merienda. "W-hat did you say?! You're breaking up with me?!" I said while looking at his eyes but he just looked away. "Yes. We're over now.. So please, never bother me again. Bye." And then he stood up and left me here. Hindi ako makapaniwalang ganoon-ganoon lang niyang itatapon yung limang taon naming relasyon. Hindi ako nakapagsalita, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Tumayo ako at umalis sa fastfood chain at sumakay sa kotse ko. Pinaandar ko ito at hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. "FUCK THIS LIFE!!" Sigaw ko nang abutan ako ng red light sign na dapat akong tumigil sa pagdadrive tsaka sumandal sa manibela. "TARANTADO KA! DAHIL BA SA HINDI KO BINIBIGAY YUNG PANGANGAILANGAN MO, KAYA MO KO GINAGANITO NGAYON??!!!" Hala, sige. Pesteng mga luha! "WHERE DID I GO WRONG, YOU JERK?!!!! BAKIT MO GINAGAWA TO SAAKIN NGAYON! I LOVE YOU PERO SINAYANG MO YUN!" Hindi ko namamalayang umiiyak na pala ako. "DAMN YOU!!!" Sigaw ko nang biglang may bumisina mula sa likod ko, bwisit sunud-sunod pa ah! ***** Resto Bar. Tinigil ko ang sasakyan ko sa isang bar. Great. I need a drink. "Give me your best drink here." Utos ko sa bartender. Binigay niya naman saakin. Panglimang baso ko na pero hindi pa rin ako tinatablan ng kalasingan. Bawat shot ko, tumutulo yung mga luha ko. Bwisit na buhay to! "Hi miss. Alone?" Siraulo pala to eh mukha ba akong may kasama dito? "May nakikita ka bang kasama ko?" Sarkastikong sabi ko. Napangiwi naman ang lalaki sa sinabi ko. "The usual bro." Utos niya sa bartender.. "So, what's your name?" He asked me.. Tinignan ko nga tong lalaking to, gwapo. Matangos ang ilong, kissable lips, mapupungay ang mga mata, maputi, mukhang matangkad, mukhang nag-ggym to, in short. HOT. "Elle" Simpleng sagot ko sa kanya sabay shot ng alak. Langya, nahihilo na ako. "Nice name. You wanna dance?" Alok niya saakin. Tumayo na man ako tsaka hinila siya papuntang dance floor. When we reached the dance floor, I started to sway my hips while looking at him. I sexily or should I say, seductively swayed my hips while looking at him. I bite my lower lips at him. I saw him smirked at lumapit saakin. I just want to have fun, forget about everything, forget about the pain, forget about this damn life! Tumalikod ako sa kanya nung nakalapit na siya saakin. May hawak siyang baso ng wine ata yun but I continued to dance kahit nasa likod ko siya. Naramdaman kong bigla niyang hinawakan ang waist ko kaya mas ginalingan ko pa yung pagsayaw ko. "You're turning me on right now, you beautiful lady." He whispered in my ears that gives me shivers. "Did I? I should feel honoured then." "What do you want me to do?" He said and then he started to bite my left ear that leads to more sensation na nararamdaman ko. "You sure?" "Very sure." "Paligayahin mo ako." -- A/N PLEASE RATE THIS CHAPTER!

'Oh God pretty please! This looks too good to be true.' Mia thought as she pushed her lips forward with her eyes closed to be kissed. Rey's breath got labored, he had to fight against getting a hard-on just looking at her this way. 'What is she doing to me?' He saw the way her eyes closed in earnest, trying to get a kiss from him. He almost gave in but held himself back at the last minute, what was wrong with him!? This is against the contract; she said it herself, 'no strings attached.' This, this whole thing was breaching the contract. "What do you think you are doing?" Rey chuckled loudly making Mia's eyes open abruptly. "What." She looked at his mocking gaze and felt the air being squeezed out of her lungs. "Do you have what it takes to kiss me?" The question rang over and again in her head, and her eyes blurred with tears. Looking down to avoid him seeing her hurt which he already noticed by the way, she shook her head in response. "You must be delusional." Rey avoided looking at Mia after seeing the initial hurt in her eyes. He knew his words were hurtful, but he had to say them to cut any unnecessary bond between them; this was purely a business transaction and nothing else.

Arika was ordered to keep her identity a secret, known only to those in the castle. But as Arika grows closer to the prince, she struggles between continuing the lie till the end or confesses to Sin-Vira she isn’t who she really claims to be…
