McKenzie is the kind of woman that men compete for and women envy for. She's currently at a bar with Oli, her best friend. "I thought you already accepted it. Then why are you being like this?" Tanong ni Oli, Ang best friend niya na nakaupo din sa kanyang tabi. "That's what I thought too." muli Siyang uminom sa hawak. "..But I can't control myself from hurting. " nangingilid Ang mga luha niya. Nahabag Naman si Oli pero kailangan pairalin Ang pagiging optimistic niya. "For sure, your mom wants your dad to be happy, too." Nag aalala Ang Mukhang sabi niya. Meanwhile, at the other table, Allyna is just enjoying herself. She's just relaxing until her gaze shifts toward McKenzie's direction. Allyna briefly stayed her gaze on it. She took a drink from what she was holding while still watching the unruly McKenzie. A smile appeared on her lips without her realizing it, before her gaze shifted to something else. "Enough of that!" samantala kinuha Naman ng sapilitan ni Oli Kay McKenzie Ang hawak nito bago pa man madalang muli sa labi. "Oli anu ba!" kontra ni Mckenzie "We're going home, Mcki.." ibinaba niya sa table Ang baso at tinuon Ang buong atensyun sa kaibigan. "Daig mo pa Ang broken-hearted eh Wala ka namang jowa. " Ngumisi at Umikot lang Ang mga mata ni McKenzie sa tinuran ni Oli. "I'll just go to the washroom, and then we'll go after. wait for me here, alright." Saka Siya tumayo. Sunod na Tumayo Naman si McKenzie. Naisip niyang antayin na lang sa kotse si Oli dahil nahihilo na talaga Siya. Pasuray suray Siyang lumakad palabas ng bar Hanggang marating Ang parking lot nito. Nakita niya agad Ang kotse ni Oli. lumapit Siya roon at agad na sumakay. Napalingon si Allyna sa kanyang likod habang hawak Ang phone na nasa Tenga at napahinto sa pagsasalita. Naunang lumabas na ito kanina sa bar. "Larry wait .. something just came up. I'll call you back." sabi niya sa kabilang linya habang Hindi pa din Inaalis Ang nagtatakang tingin sa estrangherang bigla na lang pumasok sa kotse niya. Natigilan Siya at nagsalubong Ang kilay ng tila Hindi pala ito estranghera. "You are the girl from earlier. "napangiti Siyang muli na para bang amuse na amuse. "I think you got the wrong car." Sabi niya rito pero nakapikit lang si McKenzie na tila nakatulog na ata. napa diretso ng tingin si Allyna at hawak sa manobela. "What should I do to her?" tanong niya sa ere. muli niyang binalingan ng tingin Ang babae. nakuha Ang atensyun niya ng magagandang kilay nito. Matangos na Ilong. mapupulang labi na Hindi dala ng lipstick kundi natural lamang. Natigil roon Ang kanyang tingin at muling napangiti. Lumabas si Allyna upang mas malapitan si McKenzie sa back seat. "Hey sleeping beauty.." bahagya niyang tinapik Ang pisngi nito ngunit walang naging epekto. Nagpalipat lipat Ang tingin niya Mula sa mga mata papunta sa medyo makapal at hugis pusong labi ni Mcki. Lumabas Ang kanyang magkabilang dimple dahil sa kusang pag ngiti ng kanyang labi. "Tell me where you live." Balak niyang ihatid na lamang ito. Mas lumapad pa Ang kanyang ngiti at nagningning Ang mga mata ng mahinang humilik si Mcki "What made you so drank though? or perhaps who?" tanong niya sa babaeng kaharap o sa kanyang sarili dahil Hindi Naman Siya nito naririnig. Isang buntong hininga. Nilapit niya Ang kanyang Mukha kay Mcki na halos naging 1 inch lang ata Ang layo kaya tumatama sa kanyang balat Ang hininga nito. Napatingin Siya sa sumisilip na cleavage nito kasunod Ang paglunok na para bang nanuyo bigla ng kanyang lalamunan. "Ohh.." sambit niya bigla. ".. temptation always testing my patience." Segundo lang at dumiretso na ng Tayo si Allyna bago pa man kung anung kalapastanganang magawa. saka isinara Ang pinto para bumalik sa driver seat. Dahan Siyang nagmaneho alang alang sa babaeng mahimbing na natutulog sa likuran. Walang naging choice si Allyna kundi Ang iuwi sa kanyang pad si Mcki. Huminto Ang makina ng kotse ng nasa garage na sila. Posturang lumabas ng kanyang kotse si Allyna saka tinungo si Mcki. Tulog pa din ito. Hindi malaman ni Allyna Ang gagawin. Kung paanong madadala ito sa loob ng bahay. "Hey sleeping beauty.." bulong na tawag niya rito. Napaupo siya sa tabi nito at walang nagawa kundi nakawan uli ito ng tingin Habang nag iisip ng paraan. Kailangan niya itong gisingin kahit pa baka Magalit ito. Hindi Naman Siya nabigo dahil dahang nagdilat ng mata si Mcki. "Am I in heaven already? " naguluhan Siya sa tanong na to ng babae. napahilig Siyang nagtataka at sinasabi sa kanyang utak "what?" "Coz I'm seeing an angel." pinamulahan Siya sa cheesy lines nito at nag init Ang parehong pisngi kaya nag iwas ng tingin. First time niya maramdaman Ang ganun. "Oh, come on, if you're in heaven. You won't see me now." Naging sagot na lamang niya. natawa ng mabini si Mcki. Hindi na Siya gaanong lasing marahil sa naging byahe. "I guess you're okay now. May you tell me your address? I'll drive you home-" "No!" agad na tanggi ni Mcki. "I don't wanna go home. at least not yet." Sumilay Ang lungkot sa Mukha nito kaya nagdalawang isip si Allyna. Napa isip Siya sa sitwasyun. What are the odds? She, with a random girl from the bar. Wala Naman siguro itong gagawing masama. Mukha namang harmless at pasadong pasadong na sa kanyang type. Siya Ang tipo ng babaeng nakukuha Ang gusto. At sa mga oras na to isa lang Ang gusto niya. At Ngayon ay nasa harapan niya na ito. It's a chance to make her move. "Hmm Fine.. You may stay." Tinalikuran niya na ito At naunang maglakad. Signal Naman iyon para Kay Mcki na sumunod. Ngayong Gabi lang Naman pagkatapos nito ay babalik na lahat sa normal. Iyon Ang tumatakbo sa kanyang isipan. She just wanted a distraction. Maybe this may help. "feel at home." sabi ni Allyna ng makapasok sila. "You wanna drink more?" tanong niya sa taong naging bisita niya ng Hindi nakatingin. "Hmmm . if you drink with me." sagot naman ni Mcki na umani ng malalim sa isipan ni Allyna . Hindi matatapos Ang Gabi na Hindi napapa sa kanya Ang bisita. "Alright then. But let's exchange names first. We haven't known each other, yet we're in this situation already." Nangingiting pahayag niya. Hindi malaman ni Mcki kung anung nararamdaman pero tila naeentertain Siya sa presensya ng babae. "I'm McKenzie Elle Dela fuentez." That surname! sumagi sa isip ni Allyna pero marami namang pare parehas ng apilyido. Perhaps just a coincidence. kaparehas ng kakilala niya. Imbis na tanggapin ni Allyna Ang kamay ni Mcki upang makipag kamayan ay kinuha niya ito at dinala sa kanyang labi. Napunta roon Ang tingin ni Mcki. Hindi agad gumana ng utak niya na para bang naparalisa. "I'm Allyna Celeste Constantine Di Silvestre." Nagtama Ang mga mata nila habang hawak pa din ni Allyna Ang kamay niya. "Hey.." tawag ni Allyna ng mapansing ng space out na ito. napangiti Siya ng maunawaan Ang naging epekto ng ginawa niya Kay Mcki. "First time mo?" nakangiti pa ding tanong niya. "Huh?!" may halong pagka gulat na nanumbalik sa presensya si Mcki. Natawa naman si Allyna. "You are really something." Halos naging bulong at tanong iyon sa kanya. "What?" Balik ni Mcki. umiling lamang si Allyna at nagtungo ng kitchen upang kumuha ng maiinom nila ni Mcki. "Hmmm .." nakabalik si Allyna sa living room na may dala dala. "I have an idea!" kumislap sa excitement Ang kanyang mga mata. nag antay lamang Naman si Mcki kung anung sasabihin nito. "Let's have this in my room.." suhuwesyun niya at nauna ng lumakad para Wala ng maging kontra pa si Mcki. Sumunod na lamang din si Mcki at kahit Hindi malinaw sa kanya Ang lahat ay naging kampante ng kalooban niya. masyadong maganda Ang kasama para gawan Siya nito ng Hindi maganda. Naupo sila sa couch na andun din sa kwarto. magkaharapan silang dalawa habang inaayos sa table ni Allyna Ang mga kaninang dala. binuksan ng may pwersa ni Allyna Ang hardcore na alak na galing pang ibang bansa na regalo sa kanya. ramdam niya Ang excitement sa kanyang kalooban. IAllyna’s hands stilled on Elle's back, her posture turning slightly rigid as she absorbed the weight of those words. She pulled back just enough to look down, framing Elle’s tear-stained face with both of her hands. Her dark eyes searched Elle's dazed expression with an intense, quiet gravity. "Mcki, look at me," Allyna murmured, her voice dropping into a gentle but incredibly cautious whisper. "What do you mean by that? How exactly did you see your dad and Osmund looking at each other?" Elle swallowed hard, her breath hitching as she looked up into the intense gaze of Allyna. The safety of the locked bedroom gave her the courage to finally voice the dizzying thought that had been taking root in her mind all evening. "It wasn't just a business greeting, Celeste," Elle whispered, her voice trembling as she clutched Allyna’s wrists. "In the foyer, when Osmund arrived... my dad's entire face changed. The cold armor he always wears around us just completely melted away. And then
The heavy silence of the room wrapped around them, a sharp contrast to the suffocating theater of the downstairs foyer and dining room. Allyna leaned back against the wood of the door, her dark eyes tracking Elle as the girl dropped her bag onto a chair. Deep down, Allyna was actually the person who wanted Elle to finally know the truth about her father’s true preferences more than anyone. She had known Elle suffer through years of misplaced guilt, carrying the agonizing trauma of her mother’s sudden departure, all while Ronan used his daughter's pain as a convenient shield to bury his own secrets. Allyna hated the unfairness of it. She hated how much it had cost Elle's emotional well-being. But despite that burning desire for justice, Allyna refused to be the one to break the silence. She didn't want the truth to come from her lips. She firmly believed that the revelation had to come from Ronan himself; he was the right one to say it. At the end of the day, it was his life, hi
The moment dinner concluded, the fragile illusion of family dinner dissolved instantly. Ronan wiped his mouth with a linen napkin, his authoritative mask sliding seamlessly back into place as he stood up from the head of the table. "Osmund, let's move to the study," Ronan commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument. "We have the quarterly merger files to review before tomorrow morning." Osmund offered a polite, practiced nod to Allyna and Elle, playing the part of the diligent business partner to perfection. "Of course. Lead the way." As the two men exited the dining room, the heavy oak doors of the study clicked shut behind them, instantly cutting off the rest of the house. The room was draped in dark leather and mahogany, smelling faintly of expensive scotch and old paper. The moment the lock turned, the professional distance between them vanished, replaced by years of built-up frustration. "How much longer, Ronan?" Osmund demanded, not even waiting for Ron
From where he sat at Ronan’s right hand, Osmund kept his expression perfectly smooth, maintaining the calm, dependable demeanor he had worn for years. But beneath the mahogany table, his fist was clenched so tightly his nails bit into his palm. He hadn't come tonight just for a casual dinner or a standard business briefing. Tonight, he wanted a definitive answer. For years, Osmund had played his part in this elaborate, exhausting theater production. He had stood in the shadows, watching Ronan marry Allyna, watching him build a flawless, traditional kingdom out of pure pride, all while hiding the only truth that actually mattered. Osmund was drowning. He was desperately tired of going with the flow, entirely suffocated by the endless, performance-driven acts required to keep their true relationship a secret from the world. Tonight, he was going to force Ronan to tell him exactly how much longer they were expected to live a lie. Reaching for the wine decanter, Osmund purpo
Allyna paused, the dark amusement in her eyes softening into something deeply tender as she looked down at Elle's flushed face. She took a slow, deep breath, consciously reining in the fierce, possessive urge that had threatened to consume them both in the middle of the faculty wing. With a so
A soft, involuntary smile bloomed on Elle’s lips, warming her entire face as she rested her chin against Allyna's shoulder. Feeling the fierce tremble in Allyna's hold and hearing the raw, unfiltered desperation in her voice made something click perfectly into place. She finally realized just
Allyna, still standing behind the podium, sorting through her lecture notes, froze. Her sharp eyes snapped upward, tracking the movement at the doorway. "Mckenzie, wait," Suzette said, her voice echoing softly in the emptying hall. She stepped closer, effectively cutting off Elle's escape route.
Back at the house, Allyna stood in front of her bedroom mirror, smoothing down the lapels of her sharp blazer. The domestic mask she wore for Ronan was gone, replaced by the authoritative, poised demeanor of Professor Di Silvestre. The decision to keep her maiden name was a deliberate stateme
