Alexa's Pov I already packed my things for my vacation on the Island. And I can't wait to see Mom and all the people living there. I missed them so much. I won't let Ludwig stop me from leaving. That's why I decided to leave while he was asleep. He always sleeps in after a long day, and it is past midnight. Siguro naman hindi siya magigising. I made sure, na hindi niya malalaman ang pag-alis ko. Kaya naman palihim kong pinag-booked ng tickets si Tommy for me. As I get out of bed, I take my phone out to call Mom and tell her that I'm ready to go to the airport. She answered immediately, which made me smile widely. "Hello, Alex," she says in a sweet voice, as always. "Kumusta, Anak?" Tanong ni Mama sa akin. "I'm doing good, Mama! I am finally going somewhere I've been dreaming about since I went here in Manila." Mama laughed at that statement. Mama lovingly remarked to me, "Sa wakas makakauwi ka na ulit dito, Alex. Mag-iingat ka, okay? I love you."

Alexa's Pov Hanggang lumapag ang eroplano na sinasakyan namin sa airport ay hindi pa rin maipinta ang mukha ko. Akala ko pa naman nagtagumpay ako na takasan siya. Hindi naman pala. At ang ganda ng ngiti ng mokong. During the whole flight, wala siyang ginawa kung hindi ang inisin ako. Kung pwede lang talaga siyang itulak palabas ng eroplano ginawa ko na. I need to get some fresh air. But how could I breathe if this bastard was with me? I want to get away from him as much as possible. I needed to get away from the stress he was causing me. Pero hanggang sa Isla ay balak niya pa rin akong kunsumihin. But, come to think of it, It is my domain. Why would I let him ruin my holiday on our island? The very sight of him bothers me. The very concept of his being here with me was enough to wreck my peace of mind. But I won't let him win this time. So, I come up with an idea. Sisiguraduhin ko na hindi niya na ulit gugustuhin na sumama sa a

Ludwig's Pov She was having fun exacting revenge on me by doing such strange things to me, huh? Simply because I was new to the area. And I'm unfamiliar with their way of life here. First, she forced me to ride the tricycle. Because of my height and size, I can't even sit correctly. While she was riding her so-called childhood friend's big bike. Second, she seems to enjoy reminiscing about their childhood memories and how close they are. While we are having lunch. They are conversing as though I am not present. And I'm sure she did it on purpose to make me feel unwelcome. But I know how to win people's sympathies and take their hearts. And, as predicted, I now have them. First and foremost, Mang Kanor seemed to be grateful and happy with the pricey wristwatch I gave him. That one was a little pricey, but it's okay. I can replace it. Second, thankfully, I have a spare Rolex in my suitcase. So I handed it to Alexa's irritating childhood pal Lucas.

Alexa's Pov Nakadipa ang mga kamay na lumanghap ako ng sariwang hangin sa tabing dagat. "Hay... Fresh air..." Na-miss ko talaga ang buhay dito sa isla. Maaga akong gumising para maglakad-lakad dito sa dalampasigan. Binabati ako ng mga nakakasalubong kong taga-isla. Ginagantihan ko naman sila ng ngiti at pangungumusta. Kahit malaki na ang pinagbago ng pamumuhay dito dahil sa mga livelihood program na pinondohan ni Lolo. Nanatiling simple at mabait ang mga tao rito sa isla. Kaya hindi ako papayag sa kung ano mang balak gawin ni Ludwig dito sa isla. Proprotektahan ko ang mga taga-isla. Isa pang rason para protektahan ko ang isla ay ang ala-ala ng kabataan ko at ni Papa. When Dad was still living, I was a small child. But I recall every memory I had with him. My father was a gentle and caring man. Just like Lolo Alfred. He was a decent person, which is why everyone on the island liked, adored, and admired him. Hindi marangya ang pamumu

Alexa's Pov I can't help but laugh every time I remember Ludwig's facial reaction when he ate the kinilaw. I saw his face turn red as he ate the kinilaw I made. Halos maubos niya ang isang pitsel na tubig. Kung hindi lang nataranta si Mama sa pag-aasikaso sa kaniya, baka hindi na ako tumigil sa kakatawa. Tagumpay na sana ako sa naisip ko na ganti sa kaniya. Kaya lang napagalitan ako ni Mama. Bakit daw hindi ko alam na hindi kumakain ng maanghang ang asawa ko. Siyempre hindi ko naman aaminin na sinadya ko na pakainin si Ludwig ng maanghang. At ang isa pang nakapagpatigil sa pagtawa ko ay ang ginawa ni Ludwig. He kissed me in front of Mama. Iyon na lang daw kasi ang naisip niyang paraan para mawala ang anghang sa bibig niya. Napaka-bastard talaga! Si Mama naman kilig na kilig pa! Habang ako gusto kong ipakain kay Ludwig ang lahat ng kinilaw na isda na ginawa ko. Nakakainis dahil ang bilis niyang nakabawi sa akin. Kaya wala sana akong bala
