*** ~~ "Paolo, what was that?" Infinity couldn't help but raise her voice. It was rude to her friend that he suddenly pulled him out of the coffee shop. Paolo maneuvered his car, and it suddenly stopped at a corner. It was almost midnight, so a few people and cars were on the street. "Infinity, we should talk about things between us. Why did you let Leo sit at our table? You even give him your phone number!” Paolo's voice is a little bit high-pitched too. "We don't have anything else to talk about, Paolo! That was so rude of you! Leo and I were still talking!” She couldn’t help but burst into her emotions. She felt like her human rights were violated! “If we have feelings for each other, we should ignore them and move on. That's not right in the first place! You are already engaged. I am trying to live my life. That's just what we should do!” "What if I tell you I don't want to? What if I tell you that I want to try these feelings that we are feeling for each other.” "

It's only been a few weeks since we became a couple! Why are you in such a hurry to meet me with your family?" Infinity can’t help but complain about it while they are on the trip. Yesterday, her boyfriend told her to have lunch at their house. He said he would introduce him to his parents. No matter how hard she refused or made reasons, she couldn't get through to him. "What should you be nervous about? You're perfect! My family will love you.” Elroy assured her. "You only say that because you love me!

***"BABE, look at this one. I like it because of its pink diamond. One of the rarest diamonds. I am sure if our son gets married in the future, we can pass it on to him and his future family. We can make it an heirloom." Grace brought the pink diamond ring she was holding closer to Paolo. They sat side by side on a long sofa. But Paolo's mind was elsewhere. The morning after Infinity left him on the road, again, his mom called him and cleared all his schedules. He is about to do the same because he plans to talk to Infinity once again.

*** THEY are in a starring contest. She doesn't know why it all led to this. Maybe one of the things she's thankful for is that there aren't too many people in the cafeteria at these times. But she wouldn't be surprised if the news spread quickly, especially since few people saw them together.  Both have a cup of coffee in front of them, no one speaks, but the tension is palpable. Infinity had a chance to look at her for a moment when she drank her coffee. She was free to observe its entirety.  She's wearing smart clothes. White long sleeves partnered and tucked in with a black pleated skirt reaching just below her knees. She's also wearing the signature black Louboutin heels. Everything about her speaks class, and the

*** JUST LIKE his previous visits here. The old woman was looking out the window. She didn't even pay attention to him when he opened the door. Even so, he greeted her with a huge smile on her face.  "Manang Carmen! I have something with me. Your favorites. Puto and ensaymada.” He said while raising the plastic bags. But the old lady shows no interest in him.  He would have put the items down on the table next to the bed, noticing that there were also many puto and ensaymada on it.  He frowned. Someone visited her before him.

CHAPTER 44 It’s time to surrender, it's been long pretending. There’s no use in trying when the pieces don’t fit anymore. Pieces don’t fit here anymore. - The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore, James Morrison *** IT was unusual to have a silent ride with him. She simply looked at his face. Even though only the lights from the passing cars served as her light, she could see his expression. Anger. Where or by whom, she did not know. They stopped at an intersection for a moment before Infinity got up the courage to talk to him. "Where are we going?" He didn't even look at her. But she saw his knuckles were turning white while holding the steering wheel. The stoplight turned green. He started the car before answering. "You'll know when we get there." Infinity got the same answer from him. She could feel his irritation that’s why she stopped asking. But it's still a big puzzle to her where they are going and why he is in this kind of mood. He is angry. But to whom? Where? And why?

*** SHE was losing hope. Especially when she saw how sharp Paolo’s gaze was at her. But this is her only chance to tell him her truth. She stepped one step closer to him, but her heart constricted when he signaled her to stop. As if right there, he didn't give her a chance to tell the truth. "I never left. I stood beside you. Because that...that's our promise to each other." She's thankful that her tears are in favor of her. "But where were you during those times?" He gently asked. What is the correct answer to this question? Because I'm out of options? "Because I needed to choose." "To choose between what?" His face showed a lot of chaos and confusion. "To choose between money and you! And obviously, she got the money before leaving you.” Grace is perfectly giving evil vibes. "That's not true! I’m out of options! I needed to sacrifice you for someone special for both of us! It was too messy! I don't know where to hold on. Where to get some strength? If-” He ra

He asked her. Infinity looked at him as if he had four heads. "Huh?" "I mean… What… Coffee? Maybe you want some coffee first? My treat!" He asked, a little bit shy. "Ah...S-Sorry. I was in a hurry." She politely refused. "Next time, then?" He asked while giving her his million dollars. The boy next door smiled. "Y-Yeah! Maybe next time. Thanks for bringing me back my notebook. Bye!" She didn't wait for his answer and immediately left. He was left staring at the figure of the woman who was leaving. Those innocent eyes. This girl is really something. It got his attention even more. "Hey Paolo! We thought you were doing something. Why are you here? What are you doing here?" He heard one of his friends ask.

* B A C K S T O R Y* *** SHE is busy looking for the book in the school's library she needs to read for their essay writing. The library was surprisingly full. Maybe she will just ask for a table with a vacant chair if she can sit there. She suddenly remembered the man who returned her notebook. He intends to fool her.
