Prologue: Slipping Away I don't let people in. There's no point. Sooner or later, everything fades-dreams, plans, even time itself. I learned that the hard way. The future isn't something I think about anymore. Not because I don't want to, but because I know it isn't mine to have. It's easier this way. Keep moving. Keep existing. No hopes, no attachments, no regrets. And then she came along. Athena. Too stubborn, too bright-standing like the most magnificent lamp of heaven in a world I've already dimmed. She wasn't supposed to matter. I wasn't supposed to care. But something about her made me hesitate. And hesitation is dangerous. - [UNDER REVISION] "One Real Smile" will undergo revision to enhance clarity and provide a deeper understanding of the story. Additional chapters will be included to elaborate on details that were not fully explored in the current version. Thank you for your support and patience as I work to improve the narrative.

NOTE: SPG/R-R18 Dahil sa isang kasinungalingan, nagawang akitin ni Lockett si Creed Santillana, isang sikat na Phiotographer. At dahil din sa kasinungalingan iyon, naangkin siya ng binata. Akala ni Lockett ay walang halaga ang nangyari sa kanila ni Creed dahil kinaumagahan pagkatapos siya nitong angkinin, nag-offer ito ng 'friendship'. Tinawanan niya ang friendship na ini-o-offer nito. It's absurd! Para sa kanya, isa iyong kalokohan at alam niya sa sarili niya na hindi isang kaibigan ang pagtingin niya sa binata. From friendship, he offered her to be his lover. Sino siya para tanggihan ang offer na iyon, lalo na kung nasa kalagitnaan sila ng mainit na pagtatalik habang minumungkahi nitong maging lover siya nito. Hindi akalain ni Lockett na mas lalalim pa relasyon nila ni Creed. Kahit walang label ang relasyon nila, masaya siya. Nararamdaman niyang may puwang siya sa puso nito at ganoon din naman ito sa puso niya. And then one day, her illness decided to be the antagonist of their love story. She has to leave for his sake. Ang hindi niya inakala na sa pag-alis niya ay kasabay niyon ang pagkawala ng memorya niya. At sa pagbabalik ni Lockett, mapapatunayan kaya ni Creed na totoo ang kasabihang 'the heart sees what the eyes can't'?
