No fair
You know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes

Chapter Twenty-five"Aya." His warm baritone voice pierced our conversation.
I glanced at him, "Xyren."
"Can we talk?" He murmured, but enough for me to hear. Hindi niya alam kung titignan ba niya ako sa mata o hindi.
Patago akong tinapik ni Jico, senyas na pumayag ako. Well, balak ko naman talaga siyang kausapin. Kinailangan ko lang magpahinga kahapon dahil pagod ako at baka ano pa ang masabi ko sa kanya.
"Let's talk somewhere private," dugtong nito. I stood up and followed him. He brought me to his office.
I waited for him to close the door before I speak. "What do you want to talk about?"
"I—" he stopped talking to loosen his tie. He seemed nervous to me. Hindi ko naman siya kakagatin e.
"I want to apologize first. What I did was wrong and I don't have any excuse for that," he sincerely said. I just stood there while looking at him, waiting for what he'll say next.
He opened his mouth but nothing came. Tumalikod ako para pigilan ang sarili kong maluha. Pull your shit together, Aya. I seriously hate myself for being too emotional. I can't even stand to see him like that. Feeling ko tuloy ako pa ang may kasalanan.
Muli ko siyang hinarap nang masiguro kong walang luha ang lalabas sa mata ko.
"Continue," I firmly said.
He walked forward to close up to me, but my feet moved backwards as if they're alive. Bakas sa mga mata niya ang sakit dahil sa ikinilos ko. I did not mean it!
"Look, I understand if you can't easily forgive me but please, don't leave me," he knelt as he begged.
I gasped because I never imagined him kneeling in front of me. He's Xyren Clifford Avajero, a multimillionaire, stunning, and invincible man living on earth!
Taranta akong lumuhod upang mapantayan siya, "Xyren, please stand." I held both side of his shoulder para alalayan.
Umiling ito, "I will not stand until you promise. You will not leave me, right? You will not come back—" pumiyok ito.
I saw him wipe his tears using his bare hand. Gracious!
"You will not come back to him, right Aya? Promise me..." humahangos na saad nito.
