I wondered about that the night I was beaten up. But if there are people like Charis, there are also ignorant ones who were their victims. Like me. And now that I saw how angry my sister was that she was shedding tears for me, I suddenly couldn’t believe I didn’t want to file a case. I felt more terrible now that I didn't get to fight. I bet Anna would feel better if I had fought and landed a good kick or slap on that bitch. “Mom said she’s going to sue her, so don’t be mad anymore,” I tried to console her.“The fact that it happened even though you were in a supposedly safe place means you’re not really safe there.” She wiped at her tears again. “I mean, Ate Elise, you were at the Verrazzano house. He’s part of that circle. You’ll interact with them all the time. I’ve started reading about those guys…”She began to list what she had learned. That’s Anna. She’d

I looked at him. We had an approval committee in the office. I thought of Tessa Bodet, one of the committee members. Tessa didn’t like me. She was a known critic and strict before she moved to VerraCom, so no one could just say her frequent vetoes on startups I endorsed were not personal. She was my senior as an employee and about a decade older than me—she’s intimidating. It was said that she accepted the appointment at a new company thinking it would lead to the highest position there.I could only imagine what she felt after landing at VerraCom and finding out that Gian himself was already training someone very young with an obscure background for the position she wanted. If she hated me for it, I could understand. But VerraCom was created for me. It was mine. If she wanted to be the CEO of a company, she should create her own. Done. I was tired of bullies.She’d put forward a bunch of cons regarding Kyle’s proposal. She must not be happy a

He claimed my lips again, kissing me hard and deep, and this time it was without the tension of an exciting, unknown discovery. We were past that.I knew now. I saw the fevered look in his eyes. He had decided and he had always owned his decisions when it came to me.Thank God.Talking was over. He focused more attention on my body. He suckled each nipple, taking his time, holding them, gently squeezing as if he couldn’t help himself… making me delirious with pleasure. His hand traveled down my belly straight to the apex of my thighs, and it didn’t even surprise me that he was going to be the first time to touch me there. I couldn’t wait for what he was going to do next. He felt me and rubbed me over the cloth of my shorts. I moaned as I rubbed myself against his palm like I couldn’t control myself. He captured that moan with a kiss. His knees moved and pushed my thighs apart then he raised his head from the kiss to watch me as I opened my eyes, my eyelids so heavy with my desire. Hi

GIANJess was livid with anger.“I can’t believe it… in all my years here, this is the first time something like this happened here. Nothing like this has ever happened, even to our neighbors. We’ve never even been robbed. What if it had been a person who got hurt? What if it had been Anna?”“Uncle, I don’t think it was someone from around here. I know everyone here. No one local would do this,” Jason said.“And you and Elise were on the beach when you heard Anna scream?” Jess asked me.I nodded with clenched teeth. The nightmare was catching up on me, too. I hadn’t even realized there was someone else around. We could have suffered the same fate as Tootsie, and I couldn’t have done anything to protect Elise.“But you weren’t the target. The intruder went up the balcony and…” There was a slight tremor in Jess’s voice, and he cleared his throat. I was with Elise. For all intents and purposes, Jess was thinking I was capable of protecting her. But Anna was practically alone in the house

"Are you leaving?" I asked him.He nodded. "Yes. I need to take care of something important in Manila." He stepped closer to me. "Be careful here. Don’t leave the house without Jason or without telling someone—""Gian, I think he saw us," I whispered."What?""The person who did that to Tootsie. He saw us on the beach while we were—""Don’t, Elise. That’s not true.""Are you sure?""Yes.""How can you be? We were both... busy." My face flushed as I said it. "It’s impossible for you to see if someone was hiding and watching while—""Elise, please. Don’t scare yourself with thoughts like that.""How can you say that? He did that to Tootsie!" I said emotionally.He suddenly hugged me. "Stop! You’re already scared as it is.""I’m not scared! I mean, yes, it’s scary. But I’m more angry than scared. Gian..." I pushed away to see his face. "It was our first intimate moment. It was such a wonderful experience for me. But when I think that someone we don’t even know witnessed it... I feel that
