Lying outstretched on the sun lounger, Ana is getting the perfect tan with Elyn. The latter visited her and together they're having their weekend vacation in one of the premium resorts in Ilocos Sur courtesy of Ryan, who is now occupying one of the resort's function room for his meeting.

The resort is swarmed by high profile guests, and Ana, clad in her skimpy white bikini, no longer cares. They were enjoying the view of the white sand beach beyond the magnificent infinity pool.

"I still can't believe you did all that girl! I wish Bambie was here to see all the stunts you did." Elyn blurted out giggling. "How did you summon up all your courage to expose yourself to the public?" Elyn was referring to Ana's recent trysts with the media.

For the past two weeks, since that gala dinner, the write-ups never ceased. There was always something the press would comment upon be it in a positive or negative way.

There was even one talk show who interviewed Eva, and she indirectly implied Ana as a sassy brat. And Ryan counteracted the following day by uploading a photo of him and Ana on his instagram with a caption "My baby... spoiled but never a brat." The photo showed Ana was facing the camera, smiling and one eye winking as Ryan's kisses her on the cheek.

But before that, on the day he picked her up from the hotel in Tagaytay, after their long deliberation about the status of their relationship, which ended up in a truce, he took a photo of them wherein he was hugging her and her head resting on his chest. He uploaded it on facebook and wrote on the caption as "Haven't uploaded photos of us for so long. She was never gone... she was just hiding in my heart."

Ana could vividly remember that day when she retorted against Eva's harsh reception on her. Ryan had the look of amusement and pride on his face.

"Where are you taking me? My things are at the hotel." She asked him as he dragged her towards his car. He opened the door for her and had her seated on the passenger seat. Then he walked around the car taking the key from his driver. He was opening the door when she heard him say, "Take care of Ana's things at the hotel. Meet me at the helipad tomorrow."

"Ryan..."

He stared at her for a moment before he reached for her seatbelt. He was so near Ana that his smell intoxicated her. Oh, how she missed him. She stared at his face while he fastened her seatbelt. He looked more attractive.

Ana didn't know what to say. Should she apologize or act as if nothing happened for the past two years? Silence has overtaken them as he drove to his Tagaytay villa. Ana knew the way. He had taken her there various times for a vacation before.
