Making Every Second Count - Book 2 (Narration)

After discovering his ex-girlfriend's betrayal, Chase struggles to move on as their shared memories keep haunting him. *** Hardworking Chase Dimaguiba has every trait a woman could ask for--faithful, loving, supportive, and a real husband material. He intends to create a perfect and stable future with his long-time girlfriend, Cinni Romero--the girl every man desires. For him, Cinni is the sun, showering brightness and giving life wherever she goes, while he is the pitch-black sky surrounding and watching the moon in silence. And for him, polar opposites are the perfect match--sitting at the end of the scales that balance each other out. He believes they are meant to be together . . . forever. Chase loves Cinni unconditionally, and she does, too. But when he catches her in an illicit affair, breaking their relationship of seven years, can Chase forgive and forget when both the sweet and painful memories keep on resurfacing? Or is it too late to fix the heart and trust of the cheated?

Phoenix would rather stay rooted in Baguio and work his ass off rather than experienced the buzzing life in the center city. He would rather bury himself with work in his kingdom rather than to go out and have some dirty fun like his lunatic friends. He would rather feel the cold damp weather than to feel the heat in the center city. He hated traffic. He hates noisy street. He hates hot places. He fucking hates everything that has something to do with the big buzzing city. ... then everything changes... And those changes were not acceptable to him. Not in a lifetime. CECELIB | C.C.
