***WRITTEN IN TAG-LISH***Hotel magnate LUCKY DE ANGELO is wealthy, influential and drop-dead gorgeous. He can take his pick of any woman he wants, but he only wants one woman. The one he can't have.
KATE DELESTE is Lucky's best friend, his princess...

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS, Lucky woke up not wanting to go back to sleep immediately and just let the world fade away into oblivion all over again.
Bumalikwas siya sa kama at nagtungo sa malawak na balcony ng kanyang penthouse, ninamnam ang sikat ng araw sa umaga at ang mabining simoy ng hangin.
Napangiti siya.
He hit the gym like a gladiator gearing up for a battle. Thirty minutes on the treadmill and another thirty pumping iron got his adrenaline running like a high-octane engine.
He couldn't wait to get back into the action. There was so much to attend to, things to do, both in his businesses and personal life.
He was done feeling like a fucking loser.
He left the gym and hit the shower. Then he called the hotel's chef to deliver a hearty breakfast for him. He hadn't eaten much the past weeks. Wala siyang gana. Namayat siya, but he wanted to regain what pounds he had lost fast.
Nagbihis siya. He donned a suit. Tiningnan niya ang sarili sa floor-length mirror. He still looked like hell, a result of a two-week solitary alcoholic bender. Nahiya siya sa sarili sa inasal. Magiging ama na siya pero halos sunugin niya ang atay niya sa kaiinom. Bakit? Dahil depressed siya na ayaw magpakasal sa kanya ang ina ng magiging anak niya?
Natauhan siya sa mga sinabi ni Kate. He was acting like a total loser. Parang siyang gagong nagpakalango sa alak at nagmukmok dito sa penthouse niya. Walang mangyayari sa kanya pag ganoon siya. Wala pa siyang inurungang laban sa tanang buhay niya. Whenever he wanted something, he went after it with great passion and determination.
He and the mother of his child had one hell of a new journey to make. Napakarami na nilang pinagsamahan, ngayon pa ba siya bibitaw? He had learned a lot from everything that happened between them.
Yes, she was right. They needed to take it slow. Give each other space. To grow separately. They had been so close, and yet he realized now, their individual growth had been stunted by codependency. Lalo na siya. Umiikot na lang kay Kate ang mundo niya. He was a player, but when it came to Kate, he was so sickeningly needy and insecure.
He had to curtail this great fear inside of him of losing her to some other man. He had to stop giving her any reason to choose another man. Instead, he had to show her in a non-intrusive manner why he was the perfect man for her.
His food arrived. Magana siyang kumain at saka pumasok sa trabaho.
Bumaba siya sa opisina niya sa tenth floor ng Hotel de Angelo at nagpatawag ng meeting. Natapos iyon sa loob ng dalawang oras.
Pupunta naman siya sa Subic para bisitahin ang ginagawang construction ng hotel expansion niya roon. Nagre-report naman ang project manager ng hotel sa kanya at maging ang arkitektong nakakontrata, ngunit nawala talaga siya sa tamang pag-iisip nitong nakaraang mga linggo at hinayaan na lang ang mga ito sa ginagawa.
