Amari Fleur's Point Of View Patrizia and I ordered our drinks at the bar counter when we entered the venue. The bartender greeted us warmly and asked us what we would like to have. I ordered tequila, while Patrizia ordered vodka. She then turned to me and flashed a smile, but her expression changed when she saw the creases on my forehead. "What's the problem?" Patrizia asked me, then handed me the tequila that I ordered. I immediately took and drank the tequila directly before I answered her question, "I saw Kaizer, and he was with Sachna." I told Patrizia and signaled the bartender for another tequila shot. Patrizia laughed at my words, then looked around. "Is that so? Well, what were our expectations? By the way, they are both losers." Patrizia laughed, but I couldn't join in because of Agatha. My mood suddenly changed when I saw her again. "Why do you look like that? Are you affected by them? Please don't tell me you are." Patrizia raised her eyebrows as she asked me. I do

Amari Fleur's Point Of View "I have already gathered some information on Zerina Cortez, ma'am." The investigator said from the other end of the line. When the investigator started disclosing information, I became incredibly cautious and vigilant, ensuring no one was eavesdropping. My primary concern was my Mom, whom I knew would be extremely anxious if she found out about the matter. Therefore, I took extra measures to prevent her from overhearing the conversation and getting worried. "So, what information did you discover?" I asked the investigator while glancing behind me. Zephanie was talking to Patrizia again. And this time, she was also speaking with my mother. "Zerina Cortez, the owner of Cortez Cosmetics, has been hailed as the businesswoman of the year for consecutive times. Apart from running a successful business, she also founded a foundation that helps homeless people. However, some people allege she uses her foundation for good publicity. Zerina is married to Timoth
Rafael's Point Of View FLASHBACK SIX YEARS AGO "Amari Fleur, the woman who recently broke up with you. I am her first boyfriend and know many things about her. Are you sure you're not interested?" The man's shout made me stop. Despite my initial reluctance, his words piqued my interest. I returned to the floating hut and sat before the man, who smiled at me and offered his hand. "Just to introduce myself, my name is Jacob Buenavista, and I'm Fleur's first ex-boyfriend," Jacob introduced himself by extending his hand for a shake. I looked disinterestedly at him, but he laughed it off and offered me a glass of wine. "This means you've been interested in my stories since you came back," Jacob spoke to me with a smile that slightly irritated me. "Stop saying nonsense things. Just be direct and make sure it's not a lie." I told Jacob that made him laugh. He drank the wine directly in front of him when he spoke again. "How long have you known Fleur, and how long have you been to
Rafael's Point Of View PARK Even though it was not in my plan, I was forced to go to Paris because Mama begged me to accompany my foster sister, Zephanie. Zephanie was my childhood friend and her parents were very close to my parents. Besides that, Uncle Tim is raising me so often when Zephanie wants to leave the country, they always want me to go with him. I'm here today in a park where I chose to get some fresh air to think. But I can't stop my mind that seems alive because it keeps reminding me of Fleur. But despite that, my mind also says that I hate him but my heart wants to see him. I didn't realize that I had almost gone around the entire park because of my tireless walking. Fortunately, I see very few people around so I enjoy observing the surroundings more. I closed my eyes as I continued walking. I smiled because I seemed to relax more when I did this thing. "Oh, it's alright. We can meet some other time” I frowned when I heard a familiar voice but I just continued wa
Rafael's Point Of View After hanging up, I let out a deep breath. I hit my forehead because I suddenly felt it hurt."You look stressed again"I turned to the smiling Janica."Welcome back to New York"Janica spoke happily. I stood up from my seat and walked towards him. Janica took a small bag that I was holding."Why do you seem to have a problem with that? You just went home, shouldn't you relax?"Janica asked me with concern. I let out a sigh before speaking."I just came home but Dad wants me to go to the Philippines to attend A&A Guevarra's party"I said to Janica who smiled slightly at me.“A&A Guevarra? Isn't that the successful and well-established company in the Philippines? I also heard that Uncle was one of the board members then as well as Zephanie's Dad."Janica's words made me turn around. I frowned at the news I just found out."I am not aware that they are among the board members of the company that the CEO never showed up?"I shook my head at the thought that my fath
Rafael's Point Of View RAFAEL'S POVI immediately went to the Lounge VIP bar after what happened between me and Agatha. Even though what happened between the two of us didn't work out, it seemed that I couldn't stop my own thoughts because I kept seeing Fleur. Maybe I should be thankful to my memory about Fleur because that brought me back to my senses earlier when I was about to fuck Agatha.I haven't stopped drinking beer since I arrived at the bar. There are some girls who constantly pay attention to me but I don't give even the slightest attention.I stopped drinking my beer when I felt my phone vibrate from my pocket. I took it then checked who the caller was and immediately ended the call when I saw Agatha.I don't want to talk to or see him even now because if it wasn't for him, Fleur and I might be happy with each other.I immediately grabbed my head and closed my eyes tightly.Why should I blame everything on Agatha? Fleur had no intention of taking me or any other man seriou
Rafael's Point Of ViewAs soon as I ended the call, I hurriedly gathered my clothes lying on the floor of the room I stayed in last night. Without wasting any time, I put them on one by one and collected my belongings. I didn't even glance at the girl who was sleeping next to me on the bed.I was all set to step out of the room, but as I reached for my wallet, it wasn't in my pocket. I immediately began to search my pockets one by one, but my efforts turned out to be useless. My wallet was nowhere to be found. I grew increasingly anxious as I thought about all the essential items I had in there, like my credit card and driver's license."Are you searching for this?"As I turned around, I noticed that the girl who had been with me throughout the night was already awake and holding onto my wallet. As I approached the bed to retrieve it, she lifted it up suddenly, bringing our faces close together. From this position, I was able to observe her eyes more closely, and they were really the
