REESE stretched her arms and she exhaled. Her back hurts because she's been trying to get her manuscript done.

But, Reese just can't stand doing it anymore that's why she decided to stop working.

She looked at the time and it's already six in the evening and Reese took the chance to look outside her windows.

Reese stood up and she opened her room's window to get some fresh air. Her back and neck hurts because she's been working on her manuscript for five hours straight.

Napatingin si Reese sa lamesa niya at nakita ang application niya na hindi niya pa tapos fill-up-an.

She immediately took a pen and she filled the paper up. As she was writing her name, she suddenly remembered what Severus told her earlier.

Hindi sanay si Reese sa ilalagay niya nang pangalan sa kung anong papel man ang nangangailangan ng pangalan dahil iba na ang apelyidong ginagamit niya ngayon.

She's officially Mrs. Lim now and she has to get used to using 'Lim' for her last name.

As soon as Reese finished filling the papers up, she decided at that moment to let Faith know about this.

So, she decided to go and visit Faith's bar even if she's tired from doing her manuscript.

Reese changed her clothes into her usual outfit that Faith really hates and she took her application with her so she can give it to Butler Mo before leaving the villa.

And Reese hopes that that jerk won't be back until she leaves.

It would be a pain in her ass if he gets to decide something for her again because he always uses the magic word 'husband' on her.

Kahit na asawa niya ito, hindi niya dapat ito ginagamit para maging excuse sa kagustuhan nitong gawin.

Reese is still mad at what that jerk did to her earlier before he left for work. She always emphasizes to him that this is nothing but a political, loveless marriage that they should not take seriously.

But that jerk, really thinks that he can go and kiss her or hug her like they are a real couple.

Nang makababa si Reese mula sa kuwarto niya.

Nakita niya si Butler Mo na kinakausap ang mga maid at mukhang patungkol ito sa paglilinis ng bahay at pag-aayos ng mga gamit na darating mula sa unang villa na pinuntahan nila ni Severus at malamang iyon ay ang mga gamit na importante na nasa villa pa.

Reese also looked around to see if Severus was around.

And just like what she wanted, that jerk is not around. So, Reese immediately went to Butler Mo.

"Butler Mo." Reese called Butler Mo.

Butler Mo looked at her and he gestured to the maids to leave.

"Is there anything you need, young lady?" Pagtatanong ni Butler Mo sa kanya.

Reese handed the document to Butler Mo.

"Here's the document, I already filled everything up." Wika niya. "Oh, and no need to prepare for my dinner. I'll be going out to meet my friend." Paalam ni Reese.

"Is that so, young lady? Would you like me to get you a driver, it's much safer in that way."

Come to think of it, Reese doesn't have her Ducati with her.

It's still at the Chen mansion and she doesn't have the time to visit there to get it.

"No need for a driver, I just need a car." Nakangiting wika ni Reese.

"Are you sure, young lady?"

Tumango si Reese at binigyan ng ngiti si Butler Mo.

"I'm sure. I know how to drive a car."

Kaagad rin na binigay ni Butler Mo ang susi ng kotse sa kanya and she was surprised when she saw the car, she told herself not to get surprised because after all!

Severus is rich, dapat hindi na sita nagtaka kung anong klaseng kotse ang mayroon ito.

Reese thought that even if she would scratch this car or get this in a crash, she bet that Severus wouldn't mind because he can buy another car.

Reese immediately drove the car away and since the place she's currently living is new, she's not that familiar with the roads yet, so she tried to use her phone navigator.

And little did Reese know that the villa she's living in is just five minutes away from Faith's bar!

Out of nowhere, Reese suddenly remembered Secretary Cindy.

She's starting to doubt her husband's manliness, because he's not even attracted to his own secretary who looks really good!

Did she marry someone who's not interested in women at all?

Reese parked the car and she immediately went inside Faith's bar.

Her ears welcomed the loud music and the colorful lights inside the bar.

Kaagad siyang nagtungo sa puwesto na lagi niyang pinupuntahan kapag makikipag-usap siya kay Faith.

And just like what she thought, her best friend is there who's currently talking to a stranger.

Reese went and sat on the stool bar just in front of Faith.

Nang mapansin siya ni Faith ay bakas sa mukha nito ang tila pagkabigla.

Why would she give her this reaction when she always visits her here?

"Don't act surprised, Faith. It's not like I don't visit here everyday." Wika ni Reese at nilapag ang cellphone at susi ng kotse sa lamesa. "I'll order the usual." Dagdag ni Reese.

Bumuntong hininga si Faith.

"Why is there a married woman in my bar?" Pabirong tanong ni Faith.

Reese glared at her best friend and all Faith could do was to laugh and gave her the drink.

"Thanks." Wika niya at sumimsim sa inumin na hinanda ni Faith.

"There are actually three reasons why you came here." Wika ni Faith. "It's either, you're in a bad mood, you're in a good mood or — you're about to complain something about your husband!"

"What the hell was the third one?" Wika ni Reese at binaba ang baso na hawak niya. "I'm actually here to tell you something."

"What is it? This is kind of exciting huh?"

Reese sighed before she started talking.

"I'm going back to study interior designing." Wika niya, "It was Severus who made me go back and continue what I left. He told me that I should continue what I like because I already have him to support me from what I would like to do without anything coming in my way." Pagkukuwento ni Reese.

Nabigla nalang si Reese nang impit na tumili ang kaibigan niya.

"Oh my! What a sweet husband you have there! Don't tell me you like him already?" Nakangiting wika nito at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat niya. "Wala namang masama na magkagusto ka sa kanya kasi asawa mo naman —"

"Faith." Reese stopped her in a serious tone. "I don't like him at all. Stop that, okay?" Malamig na wika ni Reese at tinungga ang natitirang inumin niya.

Faith removed her hands from Reese's shoulders and she gave her a sigh.

"I heard what happened between you and Seb… from the night of the reception…"

Natigilan si Reese sa sinabi biglaan ni Faith.

She looked away because she doesn't know what to say to Faith because there are no words coming from her mouth when it comes to that matter.

"I happened to see Seb at the beach that night, he was holding the ring he gave you. You already ended everything, huh?" Pagtatanong ni Faith sa kanya. "Seeing Seb like that was hard for me, Ree. You and Seb have been my friends for how many years now, I am sad from what happened." Dagdag pa ni Faith.

Reese combed her hair using her fingers.

"He came back and apologized at the wrong time, Faith." Panimula ni Reese, "You know how deep is my affection for him, but I already decided what I want to do. And I can't just change it, right? Ako ang nag desisyon nito para sa sarili kong kagustuhan." Dagdag ni Reese at sa bawat salitang binibitawan niya ay nagbibigay ng kung anong sakit sa puso niya.

She clearly remembers how Sebastian looked like before she said those hurtful words at him and for Reese, it hurts too.

He was her first love and she wants to love him until the end, but she can only do it alone now.

Letting go of Sebastian was a mistake for her but it was also the best decision she did.

"Okay, okay. Let's stop with this discussion. It was insensitive of me to ask such a matter." Faith said out of guilt and poured her another drink.

"How was your honeymoon with the young master, huh?" Nakangising tanong ni Faith sa kanya at panay ang pagtaas at pagbaba ng mga kilay nito na tila ba nang-aasar.

"Honeymoon?" Reese said in a confused tone, "You mean… more like, getting-to-know a stranger you married?" Reese added in a jokingly tone.

Faith rolled her eyes. "Ang boring mo naman, Reese. Nakipag kwentuhan ka lang kay Mr. Lim nung gabi na 'yon?" Hindi makapaniwala na wika ni Faith.

"Hay, that doesn't matter anymore. Congratulations on getting married and on refreshing a new start. Goodluck on your studies, Reese." Dagdag ni Faith.

Reese gave Faith a smile.

"I will do my best to show them that I am better than what I think I am. I will show them that I'm not the blacksheep at all!" Reese said and she drank the whole cup of liquor Faith gave her.

"Hey, calm down with your drink. You're driving such an expensive car!" Wika ni Faith at tinuro ang susi ng kotse ni Severus.

Reese snickered and she grabbed the car key.

"Don't worry, that jerk's rich. He can buy another one that I can crash." Halos matawa-tawang wika ni Reese.

"How dare you call your nice husband a jerk? He's far from being a jerk, you see, looks like Mr. Lim's interested in you, Reese." Nakangusong wika ni Faith.

"Oh, no. You don't know what that jerk did to me earlier." Mahinang wika ni Reese at tinungga ang inumin na nakahanda sa harap niya.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Faith dahil sa sinabi niya, kaagad nitong binaba ang baso na hawak-hawak niya at sinimulang kulitin siya.

"Oh my! Reese, c'mon tell me! What did he do to you? Am I going to be an aunt now?" Faith said out of exaggeration.

Reese's expression hardened.

"Give me a break, Faith. Alam ko iniisip mo at imposibleng mangyari iyon. You know what I planned after this marriage, right? I will seperate with him." Reese said and she went down on the bar stool she was sitting. "I'll be back. I'll just go to the restroom."

Kaagad na nagtungo si Reese papuntang banyo at tinignan niya ang relo niya at alam ni Reese na hindi siya puwedeng magtagal dito.

Reese stopped walking when she saw someone arguing in front of her and it sucks. Reese doesn't want this drama.

Sa lahat ba naman kasi ng puwede nilang puwesto sa pag-aaway, sa gitna pa ng daan.

"Leave me alone, will you? You're annoying." Wika ng lalaki na may kung anong lamig na ekspresyon sa mukha.

"No, I won't leave you." Matigas na wika ng babae. "C'mon, babe. I'm much better than your other girls."

Nakita ni Reese na ngumisi sang lalaki.

"And then what? You want me to stick to you? I'm a playboy, remember that. I only used you and your body. Don't be too cocky. I hate women like you at all."

Reese took a glance at the woman the man was referring to. She was wearing a tight dress with such a high slit.

Reese can also see her cleavage showing from where she is standing.

Reese doesn't want to be judgmental, but the woman looks like a slut, but Reese seems to see the woman's face somewhere.

Is she a celebrity? She's not mistaken, she looks like she's from the entertainment circle.

Reese is slowly losing her patience to this two stranger's drama. She wants to push the two of them out of the way so she can just go inside the restroom.

Reese just decided to walk in between them, but before Reese could ever get inside the restroom, someone suddenly pulled her and she was shocked when the person who pulled her was the man that was arguing with the woman.

Inakbayan siya nito at nakita niya ang masamang tingin ng babae sa kanya.

"Who the hell is she?" Matapang na saad nito.

Reese is pissed. Ano namang kinalaman niya sa dalawang ito at bakit siya hinila ng walang-hiya na 'to?

"She's my new woman, so stop pestering me." Wika ng lalaki at nabigla si Reese nang halikan siya nito sa labi at kahit anong piglas ang gawin niya ay hindi niya magawa dahil masyadong malakas ito.

When the woman stormed away, Reese pushed the man and she looked at him with her death glare.

"What the hell is your problem? If you can't tame your slut, huwag mo akong idamay!" Galit na wika ni Reese at akmang sasapakin niya ito nang kaagad na nakailag ang lalaki at ngumisi.

"Woah, calm down there." Wika nito. "I never knew you would react that much ---"

Reese took the chance to punch him in the face and she pulled his collar.

"You shut the hell up, I'm pissed big time!" Inis na wika ni Reese. "If you can't tame your girls, just tame yourself you uncultured jerk." Galit na dagdag ni Reese at tinulak ang lalaki.

Hindi na nag-abalang mag-banyo si Reese at kaagad na binalikan niya nalang ang gamit na naiwan niya kay Faith.

She doesn't want to stay here anymore, she's really pissed off. She wiped her lips and she angrily grabbed her phone and car key.

"Aalis ka na?" Pagtatanong ni Faith sa kanya.

"Yes, see you again next time." Paalam ni Reese at kaagad na lumabas sa bar.

Reese is pissed off big time. She never knew that she would meet another jerk there!

Nangangati ang mga kamao ni Reese dahil sa galit niya sa walang modong lalaki na iyon, Reese started the car that was parked outside and she immediately went inside and slammed the car's door close.

"That man must be stupid. He only knows how to mess around, such a jerk." Mahinang wika ni Reese at sinimulan na ang pagmamaneho pabalik sa villa.

Reese kept on wiping her lips because she kept on remembering what that jerk did and it really adds her anger up.

Hindi alam ni Reese kung bakit ba inis na inis siya, she wants to strangle that jerk to death if she ever sees him again.

Playboys like him are no good at all, wala silang kuwenta!

Mabilis lang nakarating si Reese pabalik ng villa, it was just a five minute trip back to the villa she's living right now.

Hindi man lang siya nagtagal sa bar dahil sa nararamdaman niyang galit at baka hindi niya 'to mapigilan at baka kung ano na naman ang gawin niya na pagsisisihan niya ulit.

Reese parked the car to where she saw it earlier, nakita niya na mayroong kotse na isa pa na nakaparada sa tabi ng kotseng ginamit niya.

Hindi na inisip ni Reese kung kanino galing iyon dahil alam niya na kung kanino iyon.

Lumabas si Reese sa kotse at ni-lock iyon, she removed the leather jacket she was wearing and before she could even enter the villa, sinalubong na siya ni Butler Mo.

Kita sa mukha nito ang pag-aalala at mukhang kanina pa ito naghihintay sa may pintuan.

"Is there anything wrong, Butler Mo?" Pagtatanong ni Reese kay Butler Mo at sinabit sa balikat niya ang jacket.

Reese looked around and her eyes bored into Severus who was standing just behind Butler Mo.

"Butler Mo, you can go now." Wika ni Severus at kaagad na sinunod ni Butler Mo ang sinabi ni Severus.

Severus took a step forward and Reese gave him a lopsided grin.

"Were you waiting for me, my dear husband?" Reese said in a mocking manner and she went poker-faced. "I just went to visit my friend, it looks like there is something wrong." Dagdag na saad ni Reese at nilagpasan si Severus at nagpunta sa sala at umupo.

Severus' expression dulled and he sat across her chair.

"You reek of alcohol." Wika ni Severus, "You should lessen yourself from going to places like that, now that you are my wife. You are the Lim family's daughter-in-law. Hindi na iyon dapat ang lugar na laging mong binibisita." Dagdag nito.

Reese smirked and she crossed her legs while looking at him seriously.

"You should try on hiring a private investigator and let them investigate me like you did to my sister, Reema. Try knowing about me a little bit then you'll understand why I always go there." Wika ni Reese at mahina siyang natawa.

"Nevermind, I'll just tell you…" Reese gave a sigh and she moved towards him, "One of my hobbies is disc jockeying at Faith's bar. That's where I kill time when I'm bored or whenever I have problems." Reese informed.

"That's not the problem, Reese." Wika ni Severus. "It's not a good place for you ---"

Napa buntong hininga si Reese at tumayo.

"I don't know the reason why you kept on forgetting what I just asked before I took the marriage registration form." Saad niya sa malamig na tono, "This is my private matter and you're out from this, hindi mo na kailangan pa na problemahin ang mga bagay na dati ko nang ginagawa bago pa tayo ikasal."

Coldness glowed in Severus' eyes. "I'm sorry…" Mahinang wika nito at nag-iwas ng tingin.

The corners of her mouth quirked up.

"You need not to apologize, I just want you to keep it in mind. We're not really a couple, so you don't have to go that far." Wika ni Reese at tinalikuran ito.

"If that's all you want to talk about, then I'll go and rest. Good night." Akmang aalis na sana si Reese nang biglaan siyang tawagin ni Severus muli.

"Wait." Severus called her. Reese just stopped walking and she did not bother on looking at him, she just waited for him to talk.

"Actually, I just want you to also inform you that you'll start your classes by tomorrow morning. So… If you can, fix the things you would be needing and if you need anything else, just tell Ms. Ann or Butler Mo." Saad nito.

Napatang si Reese at napa buntong hininga.

"Thank you for informing me, I'll keep that in mind." Wika ni Reese at akmang lalakad na muli nang magsalita na naman ang binata.

"You're not eating your dinner?" Pagtatanong nito sa kanya.

Reese went poker-faced and she looked at Severus. Reese was easily annoyed at Severus, baka dahil sa inis na nararamdaman niya sa nangyari kanina.

"No need to prepare my dinner, I already ate." Reese lied and she went up to her room. She's not in the mood to eat her dinner because she's annoyed.

Nakita ni Reese ang mga gamit na tinutukoy ni Severus kanina.

There were notebooks, pens and other school supplies she would need for her course.

Nilapitan niya iyon at tinignan, they really did prepare everything for her and everything she would need would always be there if she asked them to.

Mas nakaramdam ng kaginhawaan ng buhay si Reese dito, hindi katulad nung nasa mansyon pa siya ng mga Chen.

Kahit na siguro umiyak siya ng dugo kapag may kailangan siya ay hindi pa rin ibibigay ng mga magulang niya sa kanya, pero kapag si Reema ang hihiling ay kaagad na binibigay ng mga ito kahit hindi naman kailangan.

Binaba ni Reese ang hawak niyang notebook at kaagad na naisipan na maligo para makapag pahinga na siya.

It's been a bad night for her and it would be better if she would cool herself down by taking a warm bath that can calm her.

When Reese finally got her bath tub all set, she soaked in and she breathed out when she felt calmness when she soaked in.

Reese closed her eyes and she tried to have herself her peace of mind.

Reese startled when she remembered what happened earlier, she remembered the massive torture she had to deal with earlier.

She remembered the cut Severus had and the… blood?

Nilubog ni Reese ang sarili niya sa bath tub.

Reese can feel the same thirst she felt earlier and she has to remove that from her thoughts before she could go berserk again.

It would be a lot troublesome for her if she won't handle herself, she should learn how to control her current condition until she can have the time to do her check-up.

Every time she closes her eyes, she can see everything that happened to her earlier, even the day she murdered someone.

It felt like it all happened yesterday and it felt real.

Hindi alam ni Reese kung bakit ganito ang nangyayari sa sistema niya at hindi niya iyon nagugustuhan, there's something happening to her that she's for sure won't be considered as normal at all.

Umalis na si Reese sa pagkakalubog sa bath tub at kaagad na tinuyo ang katawan at sinuot ang bathrobe niya na nakahanda sa gilid.

Before she left the bathroom, she looked at her reflection and she remembered what happened to her eye color when she went berserk earlier.

Everything that was happening to her is a big mystery for her and she can't help but to keep on being suspicious of who she is and she kept on thinking if it's something connected to her sun allergy at all.

Lumabas si Reese ng banyo at kaagad na pumasok sa walk-in closet niya para magpalit ng pag tulog niya.

She also tied her hair into a ponytail as soon as she finished washing up.

Nagpunta naman si Reese sa mini fridge niya na nasa kuwarto niya lang.

Kaagad siyang kumuha ng cranberry juice niya at napag-isipan na magpahangin sa rooftop terrace ng villa na hindi niya pa napupuntahan.

As soon as she got out from her room, she saw Ms. Ann and Ms. Ann looked at her with confusion.

"Young lady, I thought you were having dinner with the young master?" Pagtatanong nito sa kanya.

"No, I already ate outside earlier, so I'm not hungry." Wika ni Reese at sumimsim sa inumin niya.

Ms. Ann gave a forced smile.

"Is that so, young lady? I see then…" Mahinang wika nito at akmang aalis na nang pigilan ito ni Reese.

"Why? Is there anything wrong, Ms. Ann?" Pagtatanong ni Reese.

"The young master was excited to have dinner with you earlier, when he realized you were not home, he waited for you until you went back. He got home early to prepare for your dinner, he actually was the one who cooked dinner for today." Wika ni Ms. Ann na ikina tahimik ni Reese.

"If there's nothing else, young lady… I have to go and fix the leftovers." Dagdag ni Ms. Ann at kaagad na bumaba.

Reese was a bit surprised on what Ms. Ann just told her. She felt a bit of sympathy and she felt a little bit guilty.

She acted really rude earlier, she could've just turned him down properly and because of her irritation, she acted rudely in front of him.

MAAGANG nagising si Reese para maaga siyang makapag handa sa unang araw niya sa klase.

She's currently having her breakfast with her husband, who's really silent. Nakita niya rin na busy ito sa pagtingin ng mga papeles na binigay sa kanya ni Butler Mo.

"I'll have this checked at the office later. Tell Cindy to prepare everything for the meeting, I'll be there in an hour." Saad ni Severus at binigay ang binabasa niyang papeles kay Butler Mo.

Reese finished her breakfast and as soon as she finished eating, Severus suddenly spoke.

"You done eating? Shall we go?" Pagtatanong nito.

"Yes." Tipid na wika ni Reese at tumayo sa kinauupuan at binitbit ang bag niya.

Sinundan niya si Severus na palabas ng villa at hindi namroblema si Reese sa araw dahil maraming puno ang tumatakip sa sinag ng araw.

Pinag-buksan siya ng pinto ni Severus at hindi na nagsayang pa ng oras si Reese at pumasok siya sa loob ng kotse.

She also got her seatbelt on, Severus started the car's engine and they left the villa as soon as they got in.

Reese felt like there was something wrong and she didn't know if she had offended Severus because he's been silent the whole morning.

Reese kept on thinking ways on how she'll keep her distance away from Reema. Because when Reema's around, everything would be bad luck for Reese.

Reema's too dangerous for Reese to handle, even if she can handle her, Reese won't be able to keep her cool for a long time.

Reese just wanted to continue her study peacefully and she happen to remember last night that Reema was attending the same school as hers.

Napansin ni Reese na malapit na sila sa university dahil nakikita na ni Reese ang gate ng university at maraming estudyante na ang naglalakad malapit sa university.

Kaagad na pinasok ni Severus ang kotse sa loob ng university kung saan malayang makakalakad papasok ng campus si Reese nang hindi prinoproblema ang araw sa paglalakad niya papunta sa klase niya.

Reese unbuckled her seatbelt and she looked at Severus.

"Thanks for driving me here." Pasasalamat ni Reese.

"Butler Mo will pick you up after your class. I will be in a meeting later and I won't be able to pick you up." Paliwanag ni Severus sa kanya.

Reese gave him a nod.

"Okay, I understand." Aniya at nagdadalawang isip kung mag-so-sorry ba siya sa nangyari kagabi.

She felt really guilty and she knew that his efforts were wasted last night. But, he doesn't have to go that far for her, because they should not have any kind of connection at all.

Reese opened the car's door and without looking back, she apologized.

"I'm sorry for what happened last night. I heard from Ms. Ann that you cooked dinner and waited for me… I'm guilty from what happened last night, but I hope that next time, you won't wait for me anymore or cook for me anymore." Wika ni Reese at kaagad na bumaba sa kotse.

Without looking back she went on her way to the classroom.

Kahit papaano ay kabisado niya pa ang lugar dahil hindi pa naman ganoon katagal nuong huling nanggaling siya dito.

Reese looked around and she felt the same feeling when she studied here, it was something she doesn't want to remember at all because all she can remember from those memories was bitterness and coldness.

Everyone was scared to approach her because of her condition, and she doesn't even know if the people around here were stupid.

Sun allergy is not something they should be scared of.

Hindi naman ito nakakahawa at ginagawa nila itong big deal na para ba na sila ang nakakaranas at nahihirapan sa kondisyon na mayroon siya.

Instead of getting scared from her sun allergy, they should be scared for their failing grades instead.

Natigilan si Reese sa paglalakad nang makita niya ang taong balak niyang iwasan.

Reema was with her so-called 'squad' and Reese can't figure out why Reema's friends kept on sticking on her like glue when Reema only uses them as her servants or what she calls it.

"Look who's back to school." Nakangising wika ni Reema at tinignan siya mula ulo hanggang paa.

"How are you and the fiance you stole from me?" Dagdag na wika nito. May kalakasan ang boses nito kaya narinig ng mga estudyante sa paligid.

Hindi mapigilan ni ang pagtawa dahil sa sinabi nito.

"You mean, my husband? He was never your fiance, Reema. Stop daydreaming and just focus on finding a word so you can fend for your poor ass right now." Dagdag na wika ni Reese.

"Hindi ko alam na mas matapang na pala ang mga mang-aagaw ngayon." Reema

said and she looked at her nails. "Where did you gain that confidence, huh? You're actually a big disgrace to our family. I was really unlucky to have a sister like you."

Reese gave Reema a sarcastic smile and a very cold glare.

"You talk for yourself, Reema. Wala akong inagaw sa'yo, it was you who threw your chance away." Lumapit si Reese at kapagkupawan ay tinignan ito mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Well, since you already opened up about being a disgrace to the family… As far as I can remember, you tried seducing my husband --- your brother-in-law. I was actually disappointed in your skills, akala ko matalino ka, pero look at you… You're trying to be a mistress." Dagdag ni Reese at kaagad na nilagpasan si Reema na natahimik sa sinabi niya.

Nang makita na ni Reese ang room kung saan gaganapin ang una niyang klase ay kaagad siyang pumasok at napansin niya na wala pang estudyante sa loob.

Mukhang napaaga ang dating niya at mabuti rin iyon.

Reese made the right choice to leave her sister there before everything could turn into something she won't expect at all.

Kilala niya ang kapatid niya, gagawa at gagawa iyon ng paraan para sirain siya dahil matinding inggit ang galit ang nararamdaman nito para sa kanya ngayon.

And Reese knows the reason behind, she's actually interested in her husband, whom she threw away because she believed the gossips.

"It's nice to see you here…" Wika nang kung sino. "Sakto, I intended to find you again and I guess we are actually classmates."

Nagtaas ng tingin si Reese para tignan kung sino ang nagsasalita at kung siya ba ang kinakausap nito.

When Reese saw the person in charge in talking, she immediately froze and she felt the anger she had with this person yesterday.

Inirapan lang ito ni Reese at nilabas ang libro na advance niyang binasa kagabi at hindi pinag bigyan ng pansin ito.

If she did give him her slightest attention, she would probably have ended up choking this jerk to death.

Naramdaman ni Reese na tumabi ito sa kanya at hindi alam ni Reese kung ano pa ang gagawin nito sa kanya kung mayroon na naman itong gagawin na hindi na naman ikatutuwa ni Reese.

"You don't have to ignore me, after all… we should get along really well."

Tinignan ni Reese nang masama ang lalaki.

"Go to hell. I don't talk to strangers." Reese gave him a cold shoulder and she was about to change seats when he suddenly grabbed her hands and gave her a hand shake.

"I'm Kier Rivero. I'm not a stranger anymore, you actually know my name now."

Here's another update! I hope you all like it.

Btw, I also changed the book's cover. So I hope you won't get confused. Thank you!
