Cephues POV

"Hello there, beautiful. What are you doing here all alone?"

"Nag-iinom obviously, hindi ba halata?" Sarkastiko kong sagot saka nag bottoms up.

I'm currently at Casa Rendezvous, trying to distract myself. I've been here in Batangas alone for almost a week now.

I don't even know why I'm here; my mind just wanted to get away from everyone I know for a while.

I needed a break from the constant interactions, the demands, and the expectations that come with being around people who know me.

I thought that maybe a change of scenery would help clear my head and give me some peace.

When I arrived, I didn't expect that the Baek-Ybañez family would also be here for a vacation.

It was a surprise, to say the least.

Sabi ko I wanted to be alone for a little while pero at the end, I called her for us to talk then she never left after that.

We rarely interact these past few days at hindi ko rin alam kung bakit. For some reason as well, I felt scared.

I'm scared of her.

"I see you have in mind... You know, I could be your temporary pleasure if you want." Napatitig naman ako sa babaeng lumapit sa akin.

Nakangisi pa siya habang ako'y kanyang tinititigan. She traces her finger on my jaw and I found myself closing my eyes as I felt her touch.

Temporary pleasure...

"Really? You wanted to be fucked or fuck a woman?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay saka humarap sa kanya.

She's a stranger, a pretty one, morena siya ay may katangkaran, mahaba ang pilik mata, mapula ang labi, at maganda ang hugis ng katawan.

"I could be anything you desire, darling... Just tell me what you want." Malandi niyang tugon saka ininom ang wine ng inagaw pa niya sa isang customer.

My eyes traced her form, lingering over every curve, while my tongue pressed against the inside of my cheek.

She is, without a doubt, stunning. But I won't lie to myself-she's not the woman I yearn for.

"I want my wife... Not any other girl," I declared with a chilling detachment, my gaze locking onto hers, my face an unfeeling mask.

She rolled her eyes and turned away, and I didn't care to watch her leave. She held no interest for me.

As I've said, I want Hyacinth.

And I am paralyzed with fear that she has fallen out of love with me.

Because I'm no longer the Cephues she once knew. I'm not the patient, soft-spoken, and gentle Cephues she grew old with and fell in love with.
