LEXIE

Finally, dumating na rin ang birthday celebration ko. This year, I decided to keep it simple and intimate—gagawin sa penthouse ko mamayang gabi with just family and a few close friends.

Actually, si Dad galing pa ng Greece wanted to throw a grand party sa high-end hotel ballroom—katulad ng mga previous birthdays ko. Pero this time, pinilit ko siya. Gusto ko chill lang—walang glamor, walang press, walang pretensyon.

    DREW VELTRANO"Please, sir," I almost begged, my voice shaky. "I’ll do anything. Just give me a chance to prove myself, to show you that I’m serious about Cass. I can leave my photography career and work full-time in the business—just like Loukas. Please, just let me prove my love for her."He looked at me, his expression serious. "In another time, Drew, I would’ve gladly accepted you as a son. But the truth is, things are more complicated than you think. The past always has a way of catching up with us, and it’s better to let it stay where it belongs. The Vitalis and Spiridakous families are too intertwined."My brows furrowed. "What do you mean by that?"He shook his head dismissively. "It’s not something worth discussing. But listen to me, Drew. I’ll give you time to break things off with Cassie. But know that when the time comes, I will introduce her to a man who is more... suitable for her future."Hearing those words felt like a punch to the gut. The idea that the man I loved an

    DREW VELTRANOThe next morning, all I could think about was meeting Lexie's father before his flight back to Greece. I knew how busy he was, and I was grateful that he agreed to meet me in his hotel room before his flight.But things didn’t go as I expected. I thought our announcement would be met with support from both of our families, but I guess I was too optimistic.We got the same reaction from my mom and Lexie's dad—both against it. It was a hard pill to swallow, but I was determined to talk to Spiro Vitalis, to show him that my intentions toward his daughter were genuine.I might not have been the kind of man he’d envisioned for his only child, considering my past, but I promised him that Lexie was the only woman I’ve ever loved. No one could love her more than I did.The thought of that beautiful woman I left behind in my apartment this morning made my chest ache. I needed to reassure her that everything would be fine. We just had to make our parents understand that we were se

    LEXIEThe day of my birthday had finally arrived. The celebration was going to be intimate, just a few close people at my penthouse later that night.At first, my dad—who flew all the way from Greece—wanted the venue to be in a fancy hotel ballroom, with a large crowd like the one we had for my last birthday. But I insisted I wanted this year to be different, just a cozy gathering with family and friends.As usual, he gave in. It’s always been that way—since I was little, it was common knowledge that my dad, Theo, couldn’t say no to his only daughter. Some people thought I was a spoiled princess, especially since my widower father always gave me whatever I wanted. For a while, I probably was that girl. But as I started working, standing on my own, I learned that happiness doesn’t always come from buying the latest shoes or handbags.It was Calix who made me realize that. I watched him cook breakfast for us that morning while I sat at the kitchen island, just staring at him. He wasn’t

Pero this time, pinilit ko siya. Gusto ko chill lang—walang glamor, walang press, walang pretensyon.At syempre, gaya ng dati, hindi niya ako kayang tanggihan. Ever since, kilala si Dad sa pagiging sobrang protective at mapagbigay pagdating sa nag-iisa niyang anak.Aminin ko, dati, spoiled brat ako. Lahat ng gusto ko, nakukuha ko. Designer bags, luxury shoes, at kahit mga bagay na hindi ko naman kailangan—binibili ko lang dahil trip ko.Pero nagbago ’yun.I shifted my gaze sa lalaking nagluluto ng breakfast sa harap ko habang nakaupo ako sa kitchen aisle. Si Drew. The man who changed me without even trying.Siya ang nagpatunay sa’kin na kahit mura o mahal ang sapatos

    DREW"Drew!" Lexie hissed, squirming slightly in my arms. Her cheeks were flushed pink with embarrassment. "Ano ka ba? Nakatingin sila!"I glanced down at her worried eyes and smirked. "Hayaan mo silang tumingin." I tightened my hold around her waist possessively. "Gusto kong malaman ng lahat na tayo na. Wala akong balak itago ka."She sucked in a sharp breath, clearly conscious of the looks we were getting from the other guests. Her fingers lightly gripped my chest, silently begging me to behave."Gets ko naman," she mumbled. "Pero pwede bang kumilos ka namang disente kahit ngayon lang? Exhibit mo ’to, Drew. Hindi date night."I chuckled lowly before leaning down to whisper in her ear, my lips barely brushing her skin. "Too bad…" I purred huskily. "Wala kang gentleman na boyfriend, moro mou. At hindi ko kailanman sinabing magpapanggap akong isa. And right now…" I bit her earlobe teasingly, making her shiver slightly. "I'm so damn tempted to ditch this event and take you home."Her ey

    DREWBigla siyang umiwas ng tingin, halatang nag-aalangan. "U-Uh... wala. Kalimutan mo na ‘yung sinabi ko," she mumbled nervously. Then, with a sudden shift, she cupped my cheek and forced a smile. "Alam kong galit ka sa’kin ngayon, pero balang araw, maiintindihan mo rin na gusto ko lang ng makakabuti para sa’yo. At kahit hindi tayo magkasundo ngayon…" Her eyes softened. "…I just want to say how proud I am of this exhibit."Bago pa ako makasagot, she turned on her heel and walked away, leaving me staring after her. Napakunot-noo ako, replaying her cryptic words in my head. Ano bang ibig sabihin niya?I was about to follow her, but bago pa ako makagalaw, napapalibutan na ako ng mga guests na sabik makipag-usap sa’kin. I was stuck with these people, forced to entertain them even when my mind was elsewhere.I grabbed a flute of champagne from a passing waiter and downed it in one go, hoping the bubbles would ease my irritation. This exhibit wasn’t turning out the way I imagined.Napatigi

    Lexie’s POVIt had been a week since I started avoiding Drew.Yeah, call me stupid, pero wala akong pakialam. The moment I realized I was slowly falling for him, takot ang nauna. Takot na baka bumagsak na naman ako sa parehong bangin na pinaglaglagan ko noon.I had to remind myself: You’ve been her

    Drew's Pint of View"Oh? What a coincidence. You know, my daughter, Lexie, is also staying in New York now for her first job. Though I miss her, I know she wants to pursue a career in Manhattan, and that’s why I let her do the things she likes.""Is that so?" I pretended to be surprised, knowing he

    DREW’S POVI pressed my lips against hers again, stealing another kiss like a man starved. *God, I could never get enough of her.* *"Yes,"* I rasped against her mouth, my voice low and rough. *"And just so you know… that’s impossible."* Her brows furrowed slightly. *"What do you mean?"* she
