*⁠・⁠゜↝Azaleah Garancho

“Ayan, perfect!” Napamulat si Azaleah nang marinig ang itinuran ng kanyang make up artist. She smirked while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

All of her life, people thought she’s perfect. Money, Azaleah was a daughter of a business magnate Angeliko and Hannah Garancho. Fame, aside from her family’s influence, she was one of those highest paid model in the Philippines, sa katunayan ay mukha niya ang kadalasang nakikita sa mga billboard, dahil nadin siguro iyon sa mga pageant na kanyang sinasalihan. Looks, her soft feature that she got from her mother, “hindi makabasag pinggan” ika nga nila. Brain, she graduated magna cum laude in a prestigious school in her course, fine arts.

“Miss Azaleah, the organizer sait that we will start at five minutes.” Her personal assistant reminded her. Russel has been working from her since Russel was the daughter of her father's secretary.

Dahil sa sinabi ng assistant ay dali-daling tinapos ng hair stylist ang pag-aayos sa kanyang buhok.

She's here for a photoshoot, she was chosen to be the calendar girl of this year's anniversary of Montalban Chain of Hotels. May partner siya dapat dito ngunit kani-kanina lang ay sinabi ng kanyang assistant na sumama ang pakiramdam nito. Hindi niya alam kung sino ang ipinalit sa kanyang partner. But who cares? Ang importante ay maitawid niya ang photoshoot na walang palya.

Matapos ayusan ang kanyang buhok ay nagbihis na si Azaleah, matapos maayos ang damit ay lumabas kaagad siya sa maliit na dressing room. Isang secretarial outfit ang kanyang suot. Isang simpleng long sleeve blouse at isang above the knee skirt ang ipinasuot sa kanya.

Matapos ng konting retouch na isinagawa ay lumabas na sila sa kwartong pinagbihisan at nagtungo sa studio na nasa kabilang kwarto lang. Mula sa pagkapasok nila ay isang office type ang kanilang background. Naka-set up na ang mga camera at iba pang gagamitin.

She was greeted by the production team when she entered. She smiled at them at nagtungo sa organizer upang ipa-finalize ang mga poses na gagawin.

“I’m so sorry for inconvenience, my team was stuck at the traffic.” Kaagad na natigil sa pag-uusap si Azaleah at ang organizer nang may malalim na boses ang nagsalita sa likod ni Azaleah.

She was familiar with his voice.

The organizer greet the man, hinarap niya ito and nagulat kung sino ang lalaking nagsalita. That's why she was familiar to his voice.

So this will be her partner for the photoshoot?

Damn. Sa mahigit ilang taong hindi sila nagkita!

“Miss Azaleah, this is Lance Carter Montalban, your partner. Sir, this is Azaleah Garancho.” Pagpapakilala ng organizer sa dalawa.

She was taken a back when Lance's gaze landed at her. Nauna itong naglahad ng kanyang kamay. His blue eyes were piercing. Tumagal ng ilang segundo ang pagtitigan ng dalawa at si Azaleah ang naunang umiwas at tumikhim.

“I-It’s pleasure to meet you, Mr. Montalban.” Kahit kinakabahan Azaleah manage to maintain her voice at tinanggap ang nakalahad na kamay ng lalaki.

As their skin touched, bolta-boltaheng kuryente ang kanyang naramdamang dumaloy sa kanyang katawan. Memories starting to flash back in her mind.

Damn.

Lance smirked after seeing his Azaleah’s reaction. He's happiness was overflowing when he knew that Azaleah will be her cousins partner for the upcoming photoshoot. She immediately stopped Lyndon for seeing her.

Funny that after all the years that they've been together, she still had effects to him.

It's been how many years? Six?

Six years that he haven't seen her so he grabbed the opportunity to see her again—by blackmailing Lyndon to give him the spot.

Kinalas ni Azaleah ang kanyang kamay sa pagkakahawak ni Lance. Lance sense it so he release her hand immediately. Alanganing ngumite si Azaleah at hinarap ang organizer.

The organizer instructed them to prepare kaya’t nagsimula na silang mag-practice ng kanilang mga poses.

Lance was sitting the swivel chair while Azaleah was standing in front of him while Azaleah hand was holding Lance's bow tie. Ang isang paa ni Azaleah ay itinaas niya at tinungtong sa espasyo ng swivel chair sa gitna ng dalawang hita ni Lance.

Lance was taken a back for the poses that they're doing.

It's giving him a boner.

Sa kabila ng ilang sa paninitig ni Lance ay hindi ito inalintana ni Azaleah. She still acted professionally. Magkalapit ang mukha nila sa isa’t-isa.

“You’re showing too much skin, Azaleah. I hate it.” Lance spat while looking at her revealed legs.

“Since when do you care, Lance? As long as I've remember, you have no connection to me anymore.” I smirked at him.

Nanatiling naka-awang ang mga labi ni Lance. He didn't expected her answer.

“Oh? You don't have any connections? As long as I've remember, I didn't sign the annulment that you've sent me. So I'm still your husband, baby.” He seriously said.

Azaleah was stilled by Lance's statement. She didn't expected this. That's why her parents was stopping him to date another man!

This brute!

“Y-You what?” Surprised, she still manage to speak.

Her anger was raging. This man really know how to ruined her mood.

“You’re still my wife, my Azaleah. And I am going to take you back.” He playfully smirked at her.

As soon as the organizer finalized their poses, the photoshoot goes perfectly. After their conversation, they still acted professionally.

Parang nagre-replay ang sinabi ni Lance sa kanyang isipan. Wondering why he didn't signed the annulment.

What's his plan?

And to take her back to his life?

Azaleah’s mind is in chaos.
