Chapter 18

Chapter 18💍

Kyianna POV

Buong linggo kong iniwasan si Luhence, but now there was no escaping him.

Nandito ako sa dressing room ng bahay niya, suot ang navy blue gown na pinili ni Mommy.

Sa una, I thought it was too elegant for me, with silver beading tracing the neckline and sleeves, and a daring slit down one side.

I paired it with silver stilettos that gave me an added lift. Light and natural lang ang makeup ko, pero ang lipstick ko ay may soft red shade that completed my look.

I caught staring at myself in the mirror, I felt... powerful.But then the nerves hit. Was this really enough to stand by his side?

Pagbaba ko, nakita ko si Luhence sa sala, relaxed na nakaupo sa sofa at para bang kanina pa naghihintay.

Nakita kong may pinong ngisi sa labi niya, at hindi ko mapigilang mairita. Parang lagi siyang may alam na ako lang ang clueless.

Naka-black tuxedo siya, tailored to perfection na parang ginawa lang talaga para sa kanya. Ang suit ay sakto ang pagkaka-fit sa broad shoulders niya, at sa bawat galaw, may confidence na umaalingawngaw. Sa lapel niya, may crown pin na may rhinestones—isang maliit pero eleganteng detalye na nagsasabi ng power at sophistication niya.

Walang bow tie, keeping it simple pero may kakaibang class, parang siya lang ang kayang magdala ng ganitong level ng porma.

Ang buhok niya ay neatly styled pero may konting disheveled vibe, giving him that effortlessly cool look na parang kahit hindi siya nag-effort, nakakakuha siya ng pansin.

His polished black shoes shimmered under the lights with every step he took, pero ang pinaka-grabe sa lahat ay ang amoy ng cologne niya—Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540. Sobrang unique ng scent niya, may hint ng luxury at warmth na nag-aakit.

Parang hindi mo makakalimutan kahit pa dumaan lang siya.

“Finally,” he greeted, his tone carrying that familiar smirk. “You ready, sisiw?”

I crossed my arms, rolling my eyes. “Akala ko ba sabi mo nagmamadali ka?”

“I am,” he replied, amusement in his eyes.

“You just happened to take your time.”

Pinilit kong hindi pansinin ‘yung pagtingin niya sa akin, pero mahirap. Hindi mawala ‘yung teasing na ngisi niya, as if he enjoyed how flustered I was.

“Please, wala akong ginawang masama rito.”

“Right. If that’s what you want me to think, sisiw,” Luhence teased, moving in just close enough that I could feel his breath.

“But you’ve been keeping your distance for the past four days. We both know why.”

My heart pounded as his words sank in. He didn’t know. He couldn’t. I forced a smirk, hoping it looked more convincing than I felt.

“Oh, really? And what do you think I’m avoiding, huh?”

He leaned closer, his gaze piercing through me, like he was trying to peel back the layers I’d built up.

“Come on, sisiw. You can act tough, but something’s on your mind. Something you’re hiding.”

I tried to keep my face blank, but Cassy’s words kept replaying in my head, twisting around my thoughts.

“You think he actually wants you? Girls like you? He’s just playing nice. But trust me, he’ll always come back to me.”

I swallowed, looking away just enough to break his intense gaze.
