Shailene's POV
"This are the tickets." Clark put it in my front.I arched a brow. "Why we need to book a flight if we can just use our private jet?" I asked.Yeah, I have private jet. It's a Dad's gift when I graduated. I rarely use it because I'm too busy in our company."Do you have one?" he asked.I smiled confidently. "Yeah, I have." I said before I went in my room. Leaving him alone.I finished my pending works before I started planning for a new business. Business that I own not from my father. I don't know how to start it without any people in my side but I don't want a help from my father. I just want to build this alone or with Selena.My phone beep and I immediately check it. It's a message from unknown number.Unknown number:It's your housemate. I got your number from your friend. I didn't asked this. She just chatted it to me. What are you doing rn?My blood boiled as I read his message. What the hell, Selena? Why is she's doing this to me?My phone beep again for a message and now it's Selena.Selena:Sorry, just helping you. Make him fall in love because that's what tita's want. Support for ShaiLark, KenZo.I closed my eyes as I saw her message. She's like a high school who's supporting her friend to confess in her crush. I shook my head before I save Clark's number. I aslo typed a reply for him.Me:Hey, just thinking and planning for an own business. Oh! Can you help me? Are you willing to be my business partner?I think he's the best with this. In the young age, he has a lot of businesses. He's genius with this. Hindi ako nagkamali ng nilapitan na tao.After a while, I heard a knock in my door. I opened it and I saw him. He's with his laptop in his hand, nakapagpalit na rin siya ng damit. Now, he just wearing a short and a simpler gray t-shirt. I think, he's really going to help me or maybe he wants to work here.I arched a brow while looking at him. He smiled at me. "You know, I want to help you in your business. Can I come?" he spoke."Oh! Sure!" I chuckled and welcomed him in my room.He sat in my bed before he put his laptop next in mine. I sat next in him, in front of my laptop.Tumikim siya at tumingin sa akin, I also faced him. "So, why are you planning to build your own business? You already have a business from your father. It will just stress you out." he spoke."I just don't want to get old without building anything. I can't say that I'm successful by just being owner of my father's company." I responded.He smiled. "That's also my reasoned too when I started building my own business. What business do you want?" he asked.I badly want to build my own resort since then with a lot of restaurants and a good hotels where the tourists can check in. I want to build an five-star hotel."I want to build a resort and I need your help. I know that you are good in this that's why I replied that to you. You are in a good timing." I said.He opened a file in his laptop. It's a file that has a lot of an autocad artworks. It's a project plan for a resort.I don't know what is he's course is but this is all looks beautiful. He's good a architect if he is or an engineer?"That looks beautiful. Is that your autocad?" I asked.He nodded. "Yeah, this is mine. This is my project back in college. I'm Civil Engineer but I focus in my businesses." he said.That's was really surprising. I really didn't expect that. I thought he's graduated in a business course because he's really good in business."Where did you graduated?" I asked."Ateneo. Summa Cum Laude." he proudly said.I graduated at La Salle and marami akong kilala sa Ateneo lalo na at marami ring akong kaibigan na may boyfriends, girlfriends or flings na Atenean. I've been in a relationships but not serious though. They are all La Sallian. No touching a head kaya rin sila nagtatagalan sa akin. I am boring partner daw that's what they said."You passed the board, right?" I asked."Yeah and I top. The first one." he responded.Oh! I knew it. Siya 'yung kinaiinisan ni Ashton back then. Ashton is an Engineer now and top two lang siya sa board exam. Galit na galit din siya sa top one. Sobrang yabang daw and that's Clark."Oh! I know you na but sorry. I'm not really interested kasi sa mga tao dati e. I am friendly din naman pero pili lang." I said.Bumaling siya sa laptop niya and, "Is this what you want? I have some more here." he said before he showed more to me.Marami pala talaga siyang arts sa laptop niya which is I really don't expect it. We also started planning for some materials. He's an engineer naman kaya okay lang na siya na lang ang mag-plano nito but in interior designs. I can get an architect naman."Ready na ba lahat ng pera mo?" he asked.I nodded. May pera naman ako not only from dad but from my hardworks in our company noong child of the owner pa lang ako. I'm just working too and Dad gave me a salary kaya naka-ipon din ako and sometimes. He's giving me a money for vacation pero iniipon ko na lang din. I am not like Selena who's always out of the country.Days past and weekend came. Our jet is ready kaya 'yun na lang ang sinakyan namin. We arrived safe at maaga rin but not like kung sasakay pa kami sa pina-book ni Daddy.The staffs treat us really good but the problem is ang napabook ni Daddy na room is one bed only. For honeymoon talaga na room."How can we sleep here?" Clark's asked.It's okay if we sleep in a bed. Wala naman siyang gagawin kaya it's okay for me. I just enjoyed surveying the room. It will give me an idea for my hotel rooms."We can sleep together here. I'm okay with it." I said.Clark's POVCrizza keeps texting me. Dapat daw ay pag-uwi namin ay may baby na in Shai's belly. I was too irritated but I know that I need to be matured here. Dapat kong intindihin lahat ang situation namin."Let's talking about our business." I said.She nodded."If we break up after six months. Let's keep communicating for this business. Let's be professional." I said.She smiled. "Yeah, that really is. There's no problem in that." she replied.We talked a lot for our business. I also refer her my friend to be our architect. I know that there's will a lot of businessmen that will have interest to invest in our business because our family name is popular."What will be the name of our resort?" I asked.I will let her decide this because this is what she want. I'm just here to help her."Aquino-Gonzales hotel and resort. That's good though. Our last name is popular and even if we will break up they will just see this as our business. A friendly business. We will remain friends, right? After this." she stopped. "Or are we friends ba?" she asked.I looked away. She seems wants me to answer it honestly. I know that she really wants to follow his Dad but I don't think remaining friends after this will be good. I know that her parents will really get mad at me or maybe my parents will get mad to her. I really don't know how to make issue in this relationship. Maybe her, I think she's also thinking about that now."Yes, we will remain friends for this business." I responded to less hurt her. It's for the business din naman.After we talked about our business. We went out to eat together. There's a lot of our family friend's here. And I was surprised that they know Shailene and Shailene didn't know them. She's really shy and didn't know anything. I wonder if she's going to some parties. Maybe she is but not really know some people around.Shailene's POVClark went outside while I decided to just stay at our room. I really don't want to go outside. It's tiring and I just want to work.I'm cooking a prawn crackers when the telephone rang. Inilagay ko lang sa bowl ang prawn crackers bago ko sinagot ang tawag."Hello, who's this?" I asked."Aren't you bored there?" I heard his voice.I thought he wants go out alone why he wants me to go outside. "Oh! Gosh, Clark. I really want to be alone. You can do what you want there." I said.I heard a small laughed at phone. I suddenly got insulted by that. Being alone is really good for me that's why I only have one best friend. "Look, to make this clear. I'm not interested really to date you here but please save me..." Help? What kind of help he wants? He's old enough. Hindi naman niya ako kailangan. I ended the call by just that. I decided to watch a movie while I'm eating my prawn crackers and drinking the fruitshake na natira lang na ginawa niya kanina. I also opened the inter
Shailene's POVI did it what he wants. We tried every ride and when the night came. We're not yet going in our room. We're just drinking and seating in the poolside.I know that someone is spying us. "Let's share some photos in Mygram. We need to post something about all happened here. They need an information about this honeymoon." he said.I turned my head and my eyes into him. He's now in his phone. Trying to post some of our photos earlier.My phone beeped and I know that he tagged me. I saw some of our photos together. It's really cute though. Look like a real couple.Media became so noisy after his post."Mr. And Mrs. Gonzales shared a post about their honeymoon." the article's title.I chuckled as I read the title of the article. "The people are thirst of any information about us. We're like models, influencers and celebrities." I said.I stood up at tiningala naman niya ako. "Where are you going?" he asked.I smiled. "Somewhere," I replied.I walked towards the near resto bar
Clark's POVWe tried all of the rides today. I know that she's tired. Pero naiinis pa rin ako sa swimsuit niya. We met Nicole and I know that she's really irritated. Hindi ko rin sinabi sa kanya na nagkita kami ni Nicole dahil alam kong pwedeng magtampo siya. Nicole invited us to join her vlog. She's been vlogging since high school. That's her hobby and I've been with her in editing and so on. I'm helping her as her best friend.Una pa lang sa mga tanong ay alam ko na may kakaiba. Hindi ko rin alam kung ano 'yun ngunit ramdam ko na may kakaiba kay Shailene. "CR lang ako," she said after the three questions na puro parehas lang kami ni Nicole.I tried to stood up to follow her but..."Hey, where are you going? Let's just wait her here." Nicole's said and gave me a pineapple juice and some snacks.Ramdam ko ang simoy ng hangin na nagpapagulo sa buhok ko. Nicole tried to fix my hair like what she's doing back then if we're just two. I smiled at her and she smiled back."Alam mo... Kun
Shailene's POVSinundo nga niya here in Selena's condo unit. Medyo mainit pa ang ulo ni Selena sa kanya. Pinaghanda rin siya ng makakain ni Selena."Ang kapal naman ng mukha mong makipag—" natutop ko ang bibig ni Selena.I smiled at him. "Pasensiya na. You know, the environment in Maldives. I can't be with Nicole at all time." I said.He nodded. "It's okay," he answered.Habang nag-mimiryenda pa siya. Nag-paalam akong mag-iimpake na muna. Alam kong kailangan na rin naming umalis ngayong araw. Sana nga lang ay uuwi na sa Pilipinas.Habang nag-iimpake ako ay biglang bumukas ang pinto. I thought, it's just Selena but I'm wrong. It's Clark."Tell me the truth, why you left me in Maldives?" he asked.I laughed a bit. "Do you think, I can be with Nicole? She's getting my nerves." I replied.He shook his head. "Did you saw us kissing? Don't worry. Hindi na 'yun lalabas pa." he said.I smiled at him. "So, you kissed? You break our rule." I said calmly.We're just silent. Wala akong masabi at
Shailene's POVHindi ako pinauwi ni Ashton. He just invited me to go to Baguio para raw makapag-isip-isip ako ng maayos. Ilang ulit na ring tumawag si mommy sa'kin. Feeling ko tuloy ay sinumbong na ako ni Clark."Do you know that stars?" Ashton asked.We're in the middle of cold night. Just two of us at the outside of his rest house. My eyes turns to him. "What about that stars?" I asked.I saw his smiles while looking to the starts. "It's like you. Ang hirap abot-abotin." he said painfully.I don't know why is he's saying this right now. This is too creepy. Why is he's look like the emotional here? Samantalang dinala niya ako dito para makapag-isip.I sighed. I saw a drop of tears in his face. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Bakit siya nagdadrama ngayon?"Ang hirap mo kasing abotin. We've been friends and I didn't had a chance to confess to you. 'Yan tuloy kasal ka na and the worst na ayaw akong matanggap is 'yung sa kalaban ko lagi at sinasaktan ka pa." he said that made my jaw drop
Shailene's POVPinatawag daw ako ni Mommy kaya wala talaga akong choice kung hindi ay pumunta na nga sa office. Imbis na dumiretso sa opisina ko ay dumiretso na ako agad sa opisina ni Mommy.Naabotan kong kausap niya ang sekretarya ko. I'm too tired for those things kaya tinapon ko kaagad ang bag ko sa sofa. "Let's talk later," Mom's said to my secretary.My secretary left after what Mom's said. I removed my shades before I seated at Mom's front."Ano itong na babalitaan kong nag-away kayo? And you really asked him to go home? And now, umalis ka pa with Ashton. Ano bang nasa kokote mo, Kendra?" Mom's hissed.I sighed. "I'm tired of everything, Mom. And I didn't asked him to go home. He decided to go home. Mom, he's too busy." I responded.Yeah, hindi ko naman siya inayang umuwi. Siya itong nagsabi na uuwi na rin kami. Baka busy lang kasi talaga siya sa work niya."By the way, you're building your business now, right?" Mom's asked.I stood up. "Correction, we are business partners!" I
Clark's POVHindi ko na maintindihan ang sarili ko. Why am I jealous to her friend? Ako naman ang asawa niya. May marriage certificate kami. Wala akong dapat ikabahala.When I heard her secretary. It made my blood boiled. Itinapon ko agad ang coffee at ang bulalak."Bring a flower and a Starbucks coffee here. I'm in my wife's office." I said to my secretary.Dumating naman agad ang ipinabili ko but the worst. Hindi niya ininom. She didn't ate lunch. I'm so worried to her.Hindi na kami sabay na umuwi at hindi ko rin siya nakita sa sala pagdating ko dito sa bahay. I directly went to my room. I started working when I heard someone fell. Bumaba agad ako at nakita ko siyang nakahandusay. Kinuha ko kaagad ang susi ng sasakyan ko at binuhat ko siya palabas."Ano pong nangyari, Sir?" Kuya Guard's asked."Kuya, we need to go hospital." I responded.Isinakay ko siya sa kotse ko bago ako sumakay at nag-drive na papuntang hospital. When we arrived the nurses went to us to help me."What happene
Shailene's POVI decided to watch the new series in Netflix when my phone suddenly rang. I answered it immediately because it's Selena."Hello, how had you been?" her voice sounds worried.I smiled. "I'm now fine but Clark is really worried about my condition. I can't go to work. He's doing my duty in our company." I replied.I heard her laughters. "Hey, that guy is in love into you." Nagulat ako sa sagot ni Selena. What? He's in love into me. How could it happen? Malapit nang matapos ang relasyon na ito. We will be in our own life. It will be mess by it will be going okay."That's in possible," I chuckled."Okay, now that you're okay. Ashton is asking me if you're okay to visit Boracay like what we're doing before. If is it okay? I don't want your husband to be mad at me." Oh, so Ashton is asking to go out now. Parang dati busy daw talaga siya. It will good though. Total siguro kailangan ko talaga ng pahinga. In a vacation is good."Okay, I'm in. When will it be?" I excitedly respo
