Chapter 36
KATE knew it was already morning. She heard the alarm ring a few minutes ago, but it was still dark inside the bedroom. She sat up slowly and saw that the curtains were still closed. Perhaps, Jan did not open them when he got up so she could get more sleep.
She jumped out of bed and went inside the bathroom. Jan was already showering, getting ready to go to work.
“Jan,” Kate muttered as she sat down on the toilet seat. “Why are you leaving so early today?”
He turned off the shower and slid the door open. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”
“I said… Why are you leaving so early in the morning?” She yawned. She had slept seven hours, yet it felt like it was not enough.
“I usually go to work this early. You just didn’t notice it because you’re still fast asleep most of the time whenever I leave for work.” He went back to showering, but he kept the door open. Perhap

KATE stared at the blank sticky note in her hand. She knew what it meant to make a wish. She knew what hoping meant. Two different things, yet almost the same.“You don’t believe in it, do you?”She looked at the woman again. Now she was looking at her with a grin and folded arms. The woman rose from her seat and stood beside her.“Do you want to hear a story?”Kate shrugged. “I don’t mind.”“There was this girl who wrote a wish in a sticky note and pasted it on the infamous Kismet Wall.” The woman looked at her. “And she ended up getting more than what she wished for. And she is happy now. And you know what’s funny about it? She just wanna mess up with someone when she posted that wish.”“Just tell her that it’s you to make her believe,” said the man who strode towards the woman. He planted a kiss on the woman’s temple and wrapped an arm ar

JAN brought Kate to that hotel where they first met right after their test drive.“What are we doing here?” she asked upon entering the suite.But he did not respond and just ushered her to the bed, where she saw a huge box above it. Beside it was a small box that she presumed contained a pair of shoes and a much smaller box that she guessed was jewelry, which only meant that the huge box had a dress inside it. She slowly turned in his direction.Jan was already taking off his tie.“What’s the meaning of this?” Kate asked, puzzled.“Take a bath and get dressed, Katherine.” He sauntered towards her. “Because you and I are going on a date.” Jan kissed the tip of her nose.She folded her arms across her chest and chuckled. “A date? What’s the occasion?”He arched a brow. “I don’t need occasions to take my wife on a date.”“Oh.”

SHE woke up to Jan’s butterfly kisses on her bare skin. From lying flat on her stomach, she shifted on her back. Now he was showering kisses on the top of her breast. After a few seconds, Jan was on top of her, kissing her neck.“Jan…” She moaned when his warm hand cupped her bosom.“Hmm? Yes, Katherine?” he drawled as he trailed kisses down to her chest.“What are you doing—ah!” She arched her back when his warm mouth sucked one crown. It seemed that Jan had not got enough of her from last night.He raised his head and met her gaze. “This is what couples do when they’re inside the hotel suite, Katherine.”She ran her fingers through his hair and laughed.“So, is this why you brought me here?”“Well... I—” Jan was not able to finish his sentence when his phone suddenly rang. “Damn it.” He groaned.“Go ahead.

KATE shook hands with the shareholders after the signing of the documents. Though she was feeling elated at that moment, she could not help but worry about her aunt’s reaction.“Congratulations again, Katherine,” said Mr. Ramirez. “Anyway, you should attend the next board meeting, so we can officially appoint you as the new Chief Executive Officer.”“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Ramirez,” Jan said. “We will make sure that she’s present at the next board meeting.”“Ah, that’s nice to hear.” Mr. Ramirez turned to her again. “And good luck with Bernice. I’m sure she would throw a fuss.”“And speaking of the devil… there she is,” Jan said while looking in the direction of the door.Kate’s fists clenched when she saw her aunt walking in her direction.“And what’s the meaning of this?” Aunt Bernice snarled.

Starting next week, Kate will take the online classes and start running the company as well.“You’re just overreacting.” She laughed. “We’ll still see each other, you know.”Kate handed the librarian the books she borrowed last time.“I know. But… It’s different when you’re not here.” Her friend groaned. “Does Natalie know about this?”“I sent her a text.” Kate fished her phone from her pocket. “She hasn’t replied since last night.”“I bet she’s with her boyfriend, and they’re busy with….” Jona wagged her brows.Kate got what her friend meant by that, but she just shook her head.“So, Kate. Can we hang out at your place?” J

“GOOD morning, Sir, Madam,” a middle-aged man greeted them when they got out of the car.Beside him was a woman close to his age and a teenage girl that seemed to be his family.“Good morning, Arman.” Jan gave them a nod.“Sir, this is my wife, Remedios, and beside her is our daughter Rebecca. They are the ones who will attend to your needs while you’re here.”“Thanks.” He gestured to the car. “Our luggage’s at the compartment. Please take them to our room. I’d like to tour my wife around.”Jan turned to her and grabbed her hand, then he ushered her to the stables. There she saw two horses. They looked tamer than his horse Giovani.“What are we doing here, Jan?” she asked nonchalantly as she caressed the horse’s head.“Well… we’re here for a vacation.”She abruptly turned in his direction. “What?

JAN was preparing for their dinner with Isabela’s family that night. The same night, they would formally apologize to Isabela’s parents and ask for her hand in marriage. He was unsure how she would react with the news, as well as his brother and Winona. But Jan was hoping that everything would be fine. He swore to heaven that he had no bad intentions towards her. It was just that they were caught between their parents and other people’s misinterpretation of what happened. He was willing to take all the blame. If not for him, Isabela would not suffer that way.He looked at himself once more before he strode in the direction of the door. And when he finally opened it, he saw his brother right outside his room.“Oh, Fernan. How long have you been there? You should have—” Jan did not finish his sentence when he suddenly grabbed his collar.“What have you done to Isabela?” his brother aske

Fernan pulled him up, but he went back to bed.“What is it now, Fernan? Can’t you see that I’m still sleeping?” he groaned.He just tossed and turned to bed last night, for he could not sleep. His mind was occupied with thoughts about Isabela. It was almost dawn when his mind finally found rest.“Well, I’m sure you’d come to your senses once you hear the news that I have for you.”His brother straddled him and grabbed his collar.“What?” Jan blinked and stared at him lazily. “Just cut to the chase—”“Isabela’s parents called. They said she was missing!”“What the…?” Jan pushed his brother away and
