Adriel sighed in relief as they finally achieved peace and quiet inside the car. After their touching conversation, Zenon got bored, so they were blasting nothing but nursery rhymes through the car's speakers for a good hour. As much as Adriel loves her son, there are really only a number of Cocomelon songs that she can tolerate. "Johnny, Johnny, yes, papa?" Zeth unconsciously hummed, making Adriel glare at him. He chuckled. "What?" "You better not sing that song again, or else." "Or else what?" he asked, still chuckling. "I might take back the words I said yesterday night, and you could find somebody else to sing those songs too," she threatened. Zeth's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly shut his mouth close—afraid that she was going to take her threat seriously. "How long until we get there?" Adriel asked. "About an hour more." Adriel nodded her head and glanced back at her child. She's happy that he can rest for an hour more before they arrive at the beach. "

Cedric decided to go out for a jog because he couldn't take his twin's whining anymore. Kian went to a party last night, and now he's suffering the consequences of his actions. He has a severe hang-over, and he's been nothing but grumpy, whiny, and touchy all throughout the morning. Cedric decided that he had enough when Kian puked all over him, so now he's jogging around the park near their condominium. He was on his fourth round when he suddenly saw a familiar silhouette sitting down on a nearby bench. She had long black hair, and she was wearing an oversized purple hoodie. "Aria," he muttered under his breath. He didn't know what compelled him to start approaching the woman, but before he could even think about it seriously, he was already near the bench she was sitting on. However, some people suddenly approached her, causing him to halt his steps. He was about to walk away from them, thinking that they were Aria's friends when he suddenly heard them throwing shady comments at

She ran off as soon as she whispered those words into Zeth's ears, and it turned into a chasing session between the two love-struck adults. Adriel knocked over a small stand that contained Zeth's paperwork. The pieces of paper went flying in multiple directions, only causing Zeth's frenzy to increase. "Angel," he said in a reprimanding voice. Adriel sheepishly smiled as she scratched the back of her neck. "Sorry about that," she said, kneeling down to gather the papers that had created random patterns on the floor. Zeth smirked when he saw Adriel kneeling down on the ground. He walked over to where she was and stood in front of her. If she raised her head up, then she would be greeted by a very delightful sight. "I'll

"Alright, that's it," the photographer said as he continued taking shots of Aria and Cedric. After the successful three-day shoot at the beach, the two of them had been cast once again for a perfume commercial. Aria was more than thrilled to find out that not only had she gotten new work, but she was also partnered up with the guy that she likes—Cedric. "Closer," the director called out. "I want you guys to be closer. The perfume's scent is called 'Intimacy' for a reason." Aria felt her heart beating fast, and she wondered if Cedric felt the same. However, when she looked at him, she could see that he wasn't the least bit fazed. He maintained a professional composure and looked like he didn't mind their closeness at all. Aria internally frowned. She's definitely the only one being emotionally affected by this. And it's just so unfair! "Is this okay?" Cedric asked as he held onto Aria's left thigh, hoisting her up and bringing her closer to his body. She felt his hot breath hov

Adriel woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a familiar ring tone. It's a sound that she hadn't heard for years but would always make her tremble whenever she heard it. She instantly sobered up from her sleep as she looked at the caller ID. There's really no mistaking—it was her mother who was calling her—her mother who never called her for the past four years. "Angel?" Zeth groggily said when he saw that Adriel was breathing heavily next to him. He sat up from bed and looked at the woman's frightened face. "What's wrong?" he gently asked. Adriel couldn't say anything. She just kept staring at the phone, wondering if she was currently stuck in a nightmare. Zeth glanced over at the phone and cursed under his breath. "Angel," he shook her. "It's over, angel," he said when the ringtone finally died down. "W—why would she be calling me?" she stuttered, still dazed. Zeth clicked his tongue and wrapped his arms around her body, wanting to make sure that she felt safe. "I d
