Chapter 1Meeting The Twins Again

Maya's POV

The road home felt longer than usual.

I walked slowly, the soles of my worn shoes pressing into the dusty path that stretched through the heart of our municipality's pride—the endless stretch of pineapple plantations. On either side of the road, the jagged leaves of the fruit-bearing plants waved gently in the breeze, glistening under the soft gold of the late afternoon sun.

San Antonio may not be industrialized or dotted with towering buildings, but it is rich in land and harvest. It stands as one of the top suppliers of pineapples, cacao, bananas, coconuts, and vegetables. In agricultural terms, it's the beating heart of the region. The place might not have skyscrapers, but it has sprawling haciendas where millionaires—and even billionaires—quietly reside behind iron gates and tree-lined drives.

I slowed my pace, not only because my legs were aching from the two-kilometer walk after graduation, but because something in the air felt different—thicker, heavier.

Then I heard it: the soft purr of a high-end engine approaching from behind.

I turned my head and froze. A gleaming red convertible sliced through the sunlight like it owned the road. My mouth parted slightly in awe. Even here, expensive cars weren't rare, but something about this one made it hard to ignore—sleek, modern, with a shine that mirrored the clouds.

The car slowed and pulled up beside me. The passenger door opened, and a woman stepped out. Slender, radiant, and impossibly elegant. Her porcelain skin glowed, her long black hair cascaded like silk, and her designer clothes hugged her figure with the kind of effortless perfection only wealth could afford.

I recognized her immediately—Ariana.

"Oh my God! Maya, is that you?" Her voice was light and musical, echoing with excitement. "You're still so beautiful—you've changed, in such a good way!"

I blinked, stunned, unsure what to say.

She stepped closer, her eyes scanning me. "You've got more curves now, especially there." She giggled and gestured to my chest. "I swear, if I had your body, I'd be unstoppable!"

I let out a small laugh as the shock faded. Her sudden hug was warm and tight, and I melted into it with a mix of joy and disbelief.

"I missed you so much, Maya!" she whispered.

"I missed you, too." My voice was soft, fragile, but sincere. I hadn't expected to see her today—not here, not like this.

"I didn't change that much," I replied shyly. "But you… You've grown into a beautiful, sophisticated woman."

Ariana smiled and rolled her eyes. "You're still too humble for your own good. You know, too much humility can sound like false modesty," she teased. "You're beautiful, Maya. Period."

A loud thud interrupted our moment.

The driver's side door slammed shut, and out stepped someone who made my entire world spin.

Adonis.

His name alone was like a spark. He was tall before, but now he stood with a towering presence, at least 185 centimeters, his frame filled out in all the right places. His dark eyes, once boyish, had become sharper, more intense. His perfectly shaped lips were fuller now, darker, like ripe cherries—and I hated that a part of me still ached to kiss them.

What was wrong with me?

The memories came crashing back of everything he'd said, everything he'd done.

"Ariana!" he snapped, his voice deep and commanding, but still smooth, like the late-night FM radio hosts who made every word sound like silk. "Come back to the car. Why are you talking to her in the middle of the road? I'm exhausted and I want to sleep."

I stiffened. So, nothing had changed.

He may have grown more attractive, but the arrogance was still the same. The disdain in his tone stabbed through me like glass. Even after all this time, he still looked at me like I was beneath him.

He always had.

Ever since I became close with his twin sister, Adonis had made it his personal mission to remind me of my place beneath him. Beneath all of them.

He never missed an opportunity to humiliate me, whether with sharp words or icy glares that left no room for misunderstanding. To him, I was a trespasser in a world built on old money, manicured lawns, and champagne-coated traditions. And twelve months ago, he ensured I would never forget it.

He looked me in the eyes—those infuriatingly beautiful, soulless eyes—and told me I would never be welcome in their world.

A flash of lightning split the sky above, followed closely by a rolling crack of thunder. Ariana flinched beside me, instinctively reaching for her arms. She'd always been afraid of storms, ever since we were kids. I remember holding her hand once during a blackout at the hacienda, her fingers trembling as she asked me to sing to distract her.

But there was no warmth here now. Just cold rain and colder words.

"Ariana, get in the car!" Adonis barked, impatience simmering in every syllable. "We can't bring her—it's a two-seater, and she's used to walking anyway. Don't waste your sympathy. She's not beautiful at all."

His voice rang louder than the thunder.

And still, it wasn't just what he said. It was how he said it. Like I was a stray dog by the roadside, pitied for a moment and then forgotten. A background character in the grand narrative of his life.

The words hit me like the rain—sudden, sharp, and unforgiving.

Ariana glanced at me with guilt swimming in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Maya. I'll call you later, okay?"

All I could do was nod.

She hesitated, then slowly climbed back into the car. She gave me one last look—one that said she didn't agree with her brother, but she wouldn't defy him either.

The red convertible peeled away with a roar, kicking up gravel and dust, leaving me standing motionless in the middle of the road, drenched in both rain and humiliation.

And that's when I realized—I hadn't moved on at all.

I told myself for the past year that Adonis Monleon no longer had power over me. That I'd grown stronger, wiser. That I could laugh at the memory of a boy who once toyed with my heart.

But standing there, soaked to the skin and stung by his words, I knew I'd been lying to myself.

Because it still hurt.

He still had that power.

He humiliated me again. As easily as breathing.

And worse than the insult was the memory of the kiss that came before it all. That night a year ago, when everything felt like a dream—his touch, his warmth, his whispered words under the stars. I thought it meant something. I thought maybe, just maybe, beneath the arrogance, he saw me.

But it was all a game.

A bet.

A cruel, heartless dare between him and Jake. One kiss to win. One kiss to destroy.

And like a fool, I let myself believe in it. Believe in him.

Today was supposed to be special. My graduation day. I should've been celebrating. Smiling and running home to tell Grandpa and Mary that I finally made it, but instead, I was walking the long road alone, soaking wet and aching from more than just the rain.

They're twenty now—Adonis and Ariana. Two years older, two worlds away. And somehow, still orbiting the same pain they left behind in me.

We never had much, but we had each other. Grandpa and Grandma did everything they could to give Mary and me a good life after our parents left us behind. My mother disappeared when I was a toddler, and Grandpa told me she died not long after. I never even knew my father's name.

But despite it all, I never felt unloved.

We may be poor, but we walk with pride. We work with our hands and earn our bread honestly. There's dignity in that—something the Monleons might never understand.

Don Miguel Monleon is different, though. Ariana and Adonis's grandfather is a good man. Generous. Kind. He gave Grandpa a home within the Monleon estate and always treated us with respect. I sometimes wonder what he thinks of the way his grandson carries himself.

Adonis may inherit the hacienda, the land, and the business, but he'll never inherit Don Miguel's heart.

That kind of goodness doesn't pass down in blood. It's chosen.

I've worked in the Monleon estate every summer since I was old enough to pull weeds. But if I had my way, I'd stay at the Esmeralda Flower Plantation forever. Donya Esmeralda is wealthy, yes—but kind in a way that isn't performative. And her son, Rich… he's nothing like Adonis.

Rich is warm. Humble. He speaks to everyone—laborers, drivers, helpers—as equals. No one ever feels small in his presence.

Maybe that's why I feel at peace in the flower fields. Surrounded by color and silence, the scent of blossoms, and the hum of bees. A world that blooms despite the heat. A place where I can forget the things that bruise my soul.

I'll work there again this summer. I'll lose myself in petals and sunlight. I'll avoid Adonis at all costs.

But even as I make that vow, deep down, I know the truth—no one truly outruns their past, especially not in a town as small and tangled as San Antonio. And the part that terrifies me most? It's not just that my past is still here. It's that he is. Adonis is back.

Adonis's gaze was always intense when it landed on me—unpredictable, like a storm on the edge of breaking—and his mouth once kissed me like I was the only girl who had ever mattered.

Upon their next encounter, he was the campus prince, and she was everyone's darling. He played basketball on the field, while she, in her flowing dress, sat in her boyfriend's passenger seat. It was then that Jiang Li understood he had to see things through to the bitter end. To seize love forcefully, to take advantage of her vulnerability. After all, such a beautiful woman should naturally belong to him. Liang Zhou Yue never thought she would be liked by a man five years her junior. He was rebellious, cold, proud, and remote, but he always responded to her every request. On a hot summer day, Liang Zhou Yue was stopped by a downpour at the entrance of the teaching building, with swirling filthy water and sludge on the steps below. As she worried about how to return to her dorm, a man's rigid spine bent in front of her. Jiang Li's tone was always so languid, casually stirring distress: "Sister, I'm afraid you're scared. I especially came to carry you home today." In that moment, Jiang Li, who had never gotten close to a girl before, submitted to her before everyone.

Although her father was rich, the king was against the marriage of her parents and stripped off her mother's title. Her mom died giving birth to her. She was left alone in their mansion because her father can't stay with her as she looked exactly like her deceased mother. She grew up rebellious and dominant to get the attention of her father.

I'll play with them for a week then we're done. I looked at Jayden and he smirked. Then he suddenly grabbed my arm and pushed me down on the bed. He was now on top of me. "We're over? Do you think you can just bugged me for a week then leave? No! That's not how I play." His eyes became dark. It was the first time I saw him as a man. I felt his knee between my thighs, he was holding my arms on top of my head. I can't move. He moved his face closer and started to kiss me. I froze. He frowned and stopped when he saw me crying. "Is this your first kiss?" He asked. I felt a tear dropped from my eyes. I was scared. I thought I'm going to be raped. To my surprise, he stood up and stared at me. "If that's your first kiss, then you're still a virgin?" I sat on the bed and started sobbing. "So what if I'm a virgin? That's the reason I changed boyfriend every week so they won't be able to touch me." It's true. I was never a slut or a whore. I dumped every guy I dated after a week so they wouldn't have a chance to take advantage of me. "Stop crying. I won't rape you for god's sake. If that's what you think! But you're not going to dump me. I won't allow that." He said annoyed. "Why? You can get a real girlfriend in campus. You don't need to stay with me." From his face, he can easily get a girl. I heard he's popular with the girls in the bronze class. "Because I'm going to take all your first time. Your body is mine, I won't let any other man touch you." *********************************** **Book cover is mine.
