during high school days, Dante always get his nerves to Faith because she was spoiled brat and a teaser. he is task to do some of Faith's assignments and project. but then, though outside of the "Valencia" residence... Dante and Faith are not close. but inside the home they really need each other's hand. for Faith's father was a very busy person and her mom always travel, she had no one to run to. Dante treat Faith as her little sister for Dante has a little sister before but then got died with its disease.
it was decided when Faith wants to go study abroad. she wanted to be a model but at the same time since she is a heir of her father's business, she rather wanted to study abroad. as for Dante, he became a personal driver and bodyguard of Faith's father.
before i forgot, Faith did have boyfriend at her high school days. His name was Mark. Faith did cry when she left for abroad, especially..... her boyfriend, its a challenge to them that they are going to have long distance relationship. she is going to be away from her family for 5 years.
during the progress years....Dante saw Faith on tv, walking at the runway. Dante was kinda shock, for Faith was already a grown up into a beautiful woman and finally reach her dream. as for his second thought he was nothing. nothing has change. he was still a driver and serving Faith's family. but Dante owe a lot Faith's family because they help his dad when it was sick.
5 years later....
Faith was back and at the airport, many reporters waited for her to have an interview. As for Dante, he was waiting outside the airport. when he saw that Faith's boyfriend Mark also arrived the airport. he called Faith's father to tell him that Faith's boyfriend gonna fetch her.
on the other side Dante was pissed off because he was asking himself why that guy (MARK) fetch Faith. he went back to "Valencia" residence. he rather help the others to prepare the food and start the party for Faith's come back party. after helping he decided to go to his room and not to join the party. he dont know what he was doing but certainly he was not in the mood already.
he went back to his room and try to look for his old photos with her. he find only one picture at his drawer. the picture was took during last christmas when she was still in high school. they were both holding gifts......since when they're little they always exchange gifts. while looking at the picture he lie down to his bed and try to remember all his memories with her when they were still little.

the party lasted for hours, Dante find himself asleep and woke up when he heard no more sound of the party outside. as he stood up and went outside, he find himself also hungry...so he went to the kitchen to get some food.
as he pass by to the corridor, no one was there. the party was already ended and even the pool left it as it is before. before the party, Dante help out the helpers to clean up the pool.
there is still a lot of food from the party and then he made a coffee. he went to the gazebo where he is perfectly watching the moon that is reflecting to the pool.
Faith still can't sleep because she has still a jet lagged. she tried to open some of her emails but after that she still don't know what to do. then, she heard a humming of its familiar melody. she went to the veranda to see who is humming that sound...
from her veranda, she saw a man who is sitting at the gazebo and the one who is humming... she try to see it clearly if who is that man. when she final notice, it was Dante.
"Dante~?" she ask herself whispering. then, she louder her voice, "Dante~!?!".
Dante look where the voice coming from. it was Faith who was calling him. he smiled and gave her a wave sign. but after waving his hand, Faith went back to her room. but Dante's smile fade away when Faith went back to her room. but then he thought Faith went back to her room, when he saw Faith was coming outside from her room. then finally sit with him at the gazebo.
"It's been a long time? i didn't see you awhile ago at my party....where were you?", Faith as surprisingly.
"Ah, i went out with my friends awhile ago....." he lied and showing his faint smile.

Faith had a good time talking to Dante. Dante felt the same way. He couldn't imagine that he was talking to his first love.
first love???, he ask himself. why did these two words just came through his mind? he can't believe he has his first love. he never dated since he was with her. but one of his reasons is because he was busy taking care of her family. he was the bodyguard and the driver..... nothing has still change.
as they both feel sleepy and they laugh when they yawn together, they already end their conversation and continue by the next day.
the next morning, Dante woke up late. he didnt mean to woke up at that time. because he has to wake up early and ready for today's Faith's activity. since he was her driver and bodyguard. but then he went outside and saw couple of girl friends of Faith. they were at the pool playing and enjoying the leisure time that they have especially Faith.
he don't know how to react when he saw the perfect curve and slender body. he was like turning into a "stuff toy". when he heard that Faith was calling him. Faith invited him to join the conversation but he excuse himself.
"No, its okay. i need to clean up the car first", he leave right away and went to the car park.
after spending playing at the pool side, Faith and her friends went to her room and try to spend sometime in movie marathon. but Kyla, one of Faith's closes friend was standing at the window and watching someone outside. Faith was curious whom Kyla's watching outside so, she look at the outside of the window. She was watching Dante cleaning the car. As Dante was half naked, only wearing pants and was all wet because he was cleaning the car.
as Kyla and Faith both watch Dante. Kyla started a conversation.
"Don't you like Dante?", Kyla ask straightforward.
"What? Why did you ask?", confuse and ask her.
"I mean look at him, he's so manly......not like......Mark", Faith got more confuse and why is Dante comparing to her boyfriend. "I still don't understand and why your comparing Mark and Dante?", asking Kyla again.
"I just feel Mark is so different from Dante, if I were you... i will choose Dante", pause for awhile and turn away from the window, "Anyway, forget it....let's watch this movie....", Kyla ended the conversation. but she leave Faith thinking blankly and don't know what to say. but then, they both watch the movie together with their friends.
The next day, Dante let Faith drive as she was begging to use the car. Faith went to the mall to go to shop together with her boyfriend Mark. but still Dante was a bodyguard, so he has to protect Faith. it was a date, though Dante couldn't take the sweetness of what the two are doing right now at the mall...
it's been hours since he waited inside the car, its turning dark already and Dante was worried. He went out the car and try to find her at the mall. but at the car park, he saw the two inside the car kissing. it was Mark's car. after he saw the kissing he went back to the car and was feeling weakening.

continuation 4....
Dante pretend didn't see about Faith and Mark, he don't feel like talking to Faith these past few days except if Faith ask something. He don't undersatnd his feelings also for Faith, everytime Faith get near to him...he slowly walking away but his heart was pumping fast.
it was the big day for Faith because she was offered by a network company to do some show about lifestyle of the people. She celebrated her first project with some of her friends and Mark. She also invited Dante to the celebration but he refuse. so they go out on a night out party and do bar hopping, party all night long.
as they went home. Faith and the others were drunk, also Mark. Faith and Mark knew that they can't drive anymore, but Faith has to go home, as what she promise to her dad what time she will go home. but then, when Mark drove Faith home, they meet a car accident.
the next morning, Faith can't walk. she saw her left leg has plaster rolled over from her thigh to toe. she was bed ridden for almost a month, then she used a wheelchair for 3 months. she heard Mark had only minor injuries and she heard he got away in the hospital right away, but she's the one who has the major accident. in those months staying at the hospital, she haven't seen Mark.
though she was finally recovered, the doctor said that she can't walk like it was use to be as a ramp model. she felt sad and disappoint for weeks when she heard from the doctor that she can't go back as a ramp model. she even locked her room and wanted to be alone.
now, she really already accepted to herself that she can't go back in modeling. but the most thing that really hurts her, when her boyfriend Mark finally visited her. he visited her because he wanted to break up with Faith. Faith, didn't want to hear those words but she really dont know how, if she can accept it or not. she cried infront of him, begging not to break up with her. but it didn't help when he finally said some harsh words.
"Im sorry, but i don't love you anymore.... it's just that it didn't work out", it was the last words she heard from him then he go away.

months has been pass...but still Faith can't forget Mark. no matter how she concentrate on her work as tv host and a co-president of their business, still she cant manage at all for she was broken hearted. though she really appreciate the help of her friends and most especially Dante, for he was always there for her.
one day, she decided to hang out with her friends and bring along Dante to join their party. it was saturday night and they stayed at Catherine's private rest house at Tagaytay city. on their conversations together with the boyfriends of Faith's friends....she felt that she was already "out of place" everytime they open up a conversation about lovers who go out and try adventurous things. she excuse herself and join Dante at the pool side. for Dante was sitting all alone and didn't join the company of Faith's friends.
"hey! what are you doing here sitting all alone? why you didn't join us?", Faith ask bringing along her canned beer.
"nah~! i like being alone....." he said, but his mind was telling, i rather be alone with you. "how about you? why are you here? your'e suppose not to leave your friends there".
"i don't know how to catch up with them and besides i feel like out of place there whenever they talk about relationships and comparing their boyfriends....", giving him a smile but her face was pissed off.
Dante and Faith get another canned of beer and talk for awhile. after their long talk, Faith suddenly felt sleepy, she was already tipsy. while Dante was talking about his life when she was still in Paris, Dante suddenly felt when Faith lay her head on his shoulder. when he look at her face, she was asleep. but Dante still didn't stop talking about himself. while she was asleep, Dante told Faith....
"I forgot to tell you how i miss you when your away, actually there is something i wanted to confess.... for i kept this for a long time", pause for awhile then he look at her face touch her face gently while sleeping, then, "I'd loved you a long time ago... though i was treating you as my little sister but in my heart, i know that i was falling for you a long time ago...i didn't had a chance to say those words to you... for i was afraid that our friendship will destroy about how i felt for you--", Dante stopped when Faith suddenly raise her pointed finger and put on his lips then they look at each other.
Faith kissed Dante on that night. Dante can't hardly explain how he feels but it was a long kiss. Faith was a good kisser. after the kiss, Faith stood up and said, "let's talk about it tomorrow". then she already went to her room. she leave him clueless. Dante was still sitting on the pool side after the kiss, after Faith leave him.
the next day, they pack up to go home already. Dante was expecting Faith to have a talk with him, but Faith was always hangin' around with her friends while Dante was leaving behind. they didn't talk until they got home.
Dante finally decided not to talk with Faith for awhile. he will rather wait for Faith to talk with him. when they got home, Dante started clean the car right away. His mind is blank right now. he don't want to think anything. until he finally finish cleaning the car then suddenly Faith appeared infront of him.
they look at each other, Faith was looking seriously at him, and so he was. then Faith said, "Do you love me?". Dante was shock when Faith ask him straight, "If you love me, can you help me?"..... "Also in return im going to help you".
Dante was bit confuse of what Faith had just said. but he ask her back, "What kind of help and why do you ask if i love you or not?". Faith suddenly cry and hug him... "Hey, what's wrong? Are you alright?".
"I want to revenge....I love him but I wanna hurt him too. To realize and feel how he hurted me~!", Faith was still hugging Dante. As Dante was speechless not because of her hug but her thoughts and words of what she just said right now. She was referring to Mark, her now ex-boyfriend. the one who dumped her, the one who hurt her.
Part of him was hurting, he thought it already. he knew that Faith can never love him. but he was one her closes friends and he can't leave Faith behind. especially, in this kind of situation. Faith needs someone who cares for her.
"What kind of help you want me to do?", Dante suddenly said that, he never even thought about to say those words...it just come out.
it just suddenly happen, when Dante and Faith had a deal. they'll be going out like a couple for six months, as for the word "couple", Faith made a deal with Dante. She offer a marriage to Dante to be able to inherit and work in her family's company. Faith's father doesn't know anything, it was between Faith and Dante only. But her father accept Dante as her lover and husband to be for he already knew Dante all along.
they're going to marry in 3 weeks, Faith finally saw some condo that they will stay, new car for Dante and they got all the invitations for their wedding.

Faith can't sleep for how many nights, she was thinking about their wedding and also she can't stop thinking about Mark. she already had the plans and Dante was trying to help her. but she was worried at the same time, worried about the consequences.
the wedding day.
everybody did came to their wedding, including the media of different network companies. it was one of the grand weddings that has been telecast. she and Dante did enjoy the celebration.
that night after the party, they were already in the room preparing the bed to sleep. for some reason it was not actually a grand wedding to both of them, for it was part of their deal. they decide to sleep separately, it was Dante's idea.
Dante went to the shower room before sleep, but Faith went to sleep right away. she was tired and not feeling well, in a way she was thinking so many things.
after Dante's shower, Dante was ready to go to sleep. he transfer the other pillow and blanket to the big sofa near at the bed. while transferring, he felt suddenly watching Faith peacefully sleeping. he was tempted to touch her face, but he can't. as for Faith, she pretends sleeping but she suddenly felt shiver when Dante was close to her, she feel like she wanted to hug him for she likes the smell of the after shower. she slightly open her eyes to look at Dante, he was half naked, only wearing a boxer shorts. now, she felt the shiver more down through her spine.
the next morning, Dante woke up late. when he woke up he saw a breakfast cater in their room. he heard Faith's voice in the shower, then she open the door as they look at each other's eyes.
but Faith startled.
"Oh, your awake....", drying her hair with the towel with a bath robe all over her body. "Is this okay, i ordered only light breakfast".
"yeah"
"Did you already prepare our things for the flight later on?"
"Not yet. But i will after the breakfast and shower", looking at her eyes only.
"Okay, but rather make it fast, for i don't want us to be late...."
Faith's uncle Bernard gave them a honeymoon trip to Hong Kong. As they were all pack for today's flight schedule to HK, Dante and Faith went back home first to say goodbye to Fredo (Faith's dad).
Nothing has change, it was the typical friendship that Faith and Dante have, Faith marry Dante for a revenge to Mark. But, Dante.....He marry Faith not with the money nor to live luxury life like her. He loved her for along time and there's nothing more he could ask for.... but her heart.
As they arrived to Hong Kong, they decided to enjoy their short vacation. they only have 2 weeks to stay and then when they're going back to Philippines, everything will be change for the two of them. Faith was offered by a tv network to do some fashion lifestyle show and she was really serious on how to get back Mark, while Dante will not be a driver anymore but a CEO of Valencia's company.
They spent their honeymoon trip by visiting tourist spots in Hong Kong, they even bought some stuffs as presents to their friends.
One time, while strolling around the street, Dante saw a jewelry shop near at the hotel where they stay. He was amaze of the accessories. He saw a simple but elegant diamond ring, it was not expensive at all, so when he saw the price was enough to his own money he brought, he bought it right away. When Dante was about to go back to the hotel, he saw Faith's facial expression. She was pissed off, Dante wondered.
"Where have you been?", she was mad and nothing has change with her facial expression. "I've been looking all over for you.... where did you go?"
"I just bought something for you--"
"I don't care~! You should have told me or call me where were you going...."
"Im sorry.... I forgot to tell you."
"--And when you buy something, you should ask me. Im the one who is holding the expenses here. You should not spend the money without me...."
Dante was shock of what she just said. Dante, decided to hide the present he bought for awhile.
The next day. everything was back to normal. She was in the mood and even share her sweet smile to Dante while having a tour. Dante was happy to be with Faith, for that was all he ask for.
Going back to the Philippines, while Faith and Dante sitting and waiting for their flight schedule, Faith told something to Dante....that he'll never forget.
"Now we're going back....I just want you to know that Im giving you all my trust to you, for I know your the only one who can help me out through this. Don't worry, even if we were marry that has pre-nuptial agreement, I will try my best to give what you want in this 6 months relationship... okay? Promise me never leave me behind this except if our deal has already end, that means we can live separate lives after 6 months", all her words were sincere, that Dante would wish that she could learn to love him in six months....but they were not.

after Dante's shower, Dante was ready to go to sleep. he transfer the other pillow and blanket to the big sofa near at the bed. while transferring, he felt suddenly watching Faith peacefully sleeping. he was tempted to touch her face, but he can't. as for Faith, she pretends sleeping but she suddenly felt shiver when Dante was close to her, she feel like she wanted to hug him for she likes the smell of the after shower. she slightly open her eyes to look at Dante, he was half naked, only wearing a boxer shorts. now, she felt the shiver more down through her spine.
the next morning, Dante woke up late. when he woke up he saw a breakfast cater in their room. he heard Faith's voice in the shower, then she open the door as they look at each other's eyes.
but Faith startled.
"Oh, your awake....", drying her hair with the towel with a bath robe all over her body. "Is this okay, i ordered only light breakfast".
"yeah"
"Did you already prepare our things for the flight later on?"
"Not yet. But i will after the breakfast and shower", looking at her eyes only.
"Okay, but rather make it fast, for i don't want us to be late...."
Faith's uncle Bernard gave them a honeymoon trip to Hong Kong. As they were all pack for today's flight schedule to HK, Dante and Faith went back home first to say goodbye to Fredo (Faith's dad).
Nothing has change, it was the typical friendship that Faith and Dante have, Faith marry Dante for a revenge to Mark. But, Dante.....He marry Faith not with the money nor to live luxury life like her. He loved her for along time and there's nothing more he could ask for.... but her heart.
As they arrived to Hong Kong, they decided to enjoy their short vacation. they only have 2 weeks to stay and then when they're going back to Philippines, everything will be change for the two of them. Faith was offered by a tv network to do some fashion lifestyle show and she was really serious on how to get back Mark, while Dante will not be a driver anymore but a CEO of Valencia's company.
They spent their honeymoon trip by visiting tourist spots in Hong Kong, they even bought some stuffs as presents to their friends.
One time, while strolling around the street, Dante saw a jewelry shop near at the hotel where they stay. He was amaze of the accessories. He saw a simple but elegant diamond ring, it was not expensive at all, so when he saw the price was enough to his own money he brought, he bought it right away. When Dante was about to go back to the hotel, he saw Faith's facial expression. She was pissed off, Dante wondered.
"Where have you been?", she was mad and nothing has change with her facial expression. "I've been looking all over for you.... where did you go?"
"I just bought something for you--"
"I don't care~! You should have told me or call me where were you going...."
"Im sorry.... I forgot to tell you."
"--And when you buy something, you should ask me. Im the one who is holding the expenses here. You should not spend the money without me...."
Dante was shock of what she just said. Dante, decided to hide the present he bought for awhile.
The next day. everything was back to normal. She was in the mood and even share her sweet smile to Dante while having a tour. Dante was happy to be with Faith, for that was all he ask for.
Going back to the Philippines, while Faith and Dante sitting and waiting for their flight schedule, Faith told something to Dante....that he'll never forget.
"Now we're going back....I just want you to know that Im giving you all my trust to you, for I know your the only one who can help me out through this. Don't worry, even if we were marry that has pre-nuptial agreement, I will try my best to give what you want in this 6 months relationship... okay? Promise me never leave me behind this except if our deal has already end, that means we can live separate lives after 6 months", all her words were sincere, that Dante would wish that she could learn to love him in six months....but they were not.

this is already chapter 9
-----------------------------
Dante and Faith live together in a condo unit. its been 3 weeks since they went back. everything goes well, Dante is the president of Valencia's company. meanwhile, Faith was just starting her show in a well-known network company.
the latest news is Mark is courting Faith again, Faith told Dante what's going on with them and recently Mark told Faith that, "Faith, i really meant what i said... i want you back", as those words record in Faith's mind and been playing like a broken record. She honestly wanted Mark back also, but she wants to see Mark that he really meant what he said and prove something for her.
Dante notice that day by day, it gets hard on each day for him. being busy at the work place and even at home he can't even have chit-chat with Faith for she always go home late and even if they talk, she recently talks about Mark. so he rather went to the bar with his fellow old friend Alex and talk about how he feel.
its his sixth cup of whisky already, "Why do i feel this way Alex???", he drink all the way down and ordered another cup.
"Dante, stop it... your still gonna go home", Alex get the cup that he ordered and drink it.
"Dammit... ", he stood up and said "let's go home.. my wife is waiting now".
"yeah, right. good thing you know that someone is waiting for you..."
as they drive home, while Alex is talking about something at their work place.... Dante was thinking about Faith, his mind only occupied by Faith features. He was desperately think about her everyday, it seems that he already lose his hopes for her.
4 months have been past... as Dante look at his organizer and while looking at his calender, he was thinking that time really moves fast. but for the past month, he already gave up and not gave a damn with Faith. he knows where he stand and Faith only treats him as a friend.
recently, Faith was happy and she's been serving Dante breakfast and at dinner. so he ask.
"What's eating you? i mean recently you've been serving me breakfast and at dinner. is there something happen at your work place?"
"nothing... im just happy, that's all", she said enough. "there is no show today and i don't seem to have a schedule with my friends... so i think i'll be staying here all day", washing the dishes and she continue "are you going home early tonight?".
Dante look at his organizer and gladly he can go home early. "Why? what's the fuss?", he asked.
"I want to prepare a dinner for us and im gonna prepare your favorite dish..."
"oh, really? ok, then... maybe i'll just buy an ice cream for a dessert. what do you think?"
"ok, that sounds good..."
it was settle then, Dante felt great when Faith is gonna cook his favorite dish. he said to himself, that he might have chances.
spending his time at the workplace the whole day makes him feel tired but today is full of energy maybe its because he was looking forward about the dinner. so after work, he went to the supermarket and buy some 2 gallons of ice cream with different flavors.
suddenly, at the counter he saw a familiar face of a guy kissing someone, they were helding each others hand and even hugging in public.
when he come closer... he didn't expect it was Mark. Mark saw him but he gave him a smile while hugging a girl. then, they went out.
Dante didn't expect what he saw. how could Mark do that, he was dating Faith and say those words with all his heart but then Dante realize it was only a lie.

chapter 10
----------
Dante's mind turned into black, unfeeling the emotion that he has awhile ago. he felt suddenly out of control. he chase Mark outside of the store, he just can't take it anymore. he punch him to the face and said "How can you treat Faith like that? you dont even know how much she loved you and you....you where hanging out with someone~!?", he punch him again. but Mark was showing off his face with his devilish smile.
"Your right Dante, i dont love her and to tell you the truth the reason why i wanna get back with her is because of their company..... and you...." Mark stand up and smiled "dont get in my way or should i care, you are just jealous because she loves me and not you...."
before Mark had gone... the last thing he said "oh, before i forget.... you're just being used.... as a husband".
Dante went home late. he went to the bar to have a drink and think about what Mark just said before. he cant let Mark hurt Faith. he was drunk when he went home as he gave Faith a shock. he gave her a kiss furiously.
she cant hardly move when Dante was kissing her, she can even taste the alcohol and almost drowning of his smell of the mix alcohol and masculine scent. she felt like a prisoner for she cant get off his arms, she deny the fact that at first she dont like what Dante is doing to her but later on she was kissing him back. but then, suddenly Mark was popping to her mind and it gave her a moment to think that this was wrong. so she gather all her strength to push him away and slap him.
"what are you just trying to do, Dante!?", the next line was she didn't know what to say. after that, she went to her room and as she enter her room she slam the door.
she still didnt know why Dante kiss her but she cant deny it that she like it too. but rather than getting more confuse, she called Mark.

this chapter is one of the scenes i wanted when im starting "inner mind theater the characters, especially the guy..."
chapter 11
----------------------
It was late in the evening but Faith still cant sleep, though they have sweet talk with Mark awhile ago over the phone. But lying on her bed can’t sleep. She was still thinking about what happened awhile ago. The kiss.
It not her first kiss what she got from Dante but this was really different from the first. She did even include that Mark never kiss her like that before for Mark was respecting her and she don’t want to be kiss like that. But now, she don’t know what how to react on Dante's kiss, it was rather confuse.
The next morning she’s planning to meet with Mark, they’re going to have a dinner date, just like what Mark promise last night when they talked over the phone.“I’m going to fetch you at the studio by 6pm. Would that be okay?�, she remembered.
When they finally meet, she was surprise of what she saw. Mark’s face have a bruise.
“what happen to you, Mark…?� she cared. “who did this to you?�
“why don’t you ask your……husband.�
“what? What about Dante?�, she asked, “did Dante did this to you?�
As Mark trying to explain what happened yesterday. Obviously, Mark told lies and trying to put Faith under his control.
Meanwhile, at home Dante was preparing delightful dinner for Faith, as he want to apologize of what he have done last night and also he will try to tell Faith what Mark had just said last night to him.
It was almost turning to 1 in the morning and Faith hasn’t come back yet, she didn’t even call if she’s gonna be late.
An hour later, he didn’t mean to fell asleep. He woke up when he heard a sound at the kitchen. It was Faith, she was cleaning all the food that Dante prepared awhile ago. He stood up and look at his wristwatch. It was 2 in the morning.
“Oh, you’re here… did you eat already?�
Faith was not answering him. She’s cleaning the table and put all the plates in the sink. Then, there was still another dish that haven’t eat yet. Dante knew that obviously Faith don’t want to eat what he prepared for dinner and her facial expression was telling that she was still mad about what happened last night. He saw Faith threw all the food.
“Faith, I know your still mad at me but I just want to be forgiven�, he was asking for forgiveness but Faith still not talking to her.
When Faith finally finish clean all the dishes, she went to her room straight but Dante stopped her by holding her hand.
“Let go of me…�, she look at him with mad face.
He let go of her hand, “I’m sorry, can you please forgive me now?�
“why should i?�
“I was drunk last night and I didn’t know what was I doing—“
“So is that the reason why you hurt Mark!?!�
“huh?�
“Oh, you pretend that you didn’t punch him!?—cool, huh!�
“what did Mark told? You meet with him today?�
“why do you care? You don’t have the right to know where I’m going!�
“He lied to you… I did it be—!�
“So you really admit it~! How dare you! Your crossing the line already. It’s not part of our deal…�
The next thing was he didn’t know what to say, he just want her to believe in him just once but she didn’t listen. He was controlling all his feelings.
“You know what, Dante… the only thing I want to request from you is to vanish infront of me…. I don’t wanna see you anymore�, she was crying and finally she went to her room.
He left her with a letter. He just did what she said, he left without a single word. Part of him was still loving her and was hurt by what she said awhile ago…. But on the other side, it was better to leave. At least she is free now and they don’t have to continue about their deal anymore.

chapter 12
----------
Then next morning Faith went to Mark’s house to visit him and spend a breakfast together with him, before she leave the condo… she notice that Dante really had gone, but she didn’t notice the letter at kitchen table.
She knock three times at the door but Mark was not answering. When she hold the door knob it was not lock, so she never hesitate to come in. But when she got inside, the room was in a mess, there were champagne bottles everywhere at the floor, the living room was in a big mess, she found a two glasses of wine but the other one has a lip mark on the glass. She was thinking that Mark was still cheating on him, so she stood up and went to his room and she was right of what she had seen.
She leave as fast as she can, while Mark was chasing her. She decided right then on, she don’t want to see Mark anymore. When she got back to her condo all she did was to cry all day long. She thinks that it was a karma also of what's happening to her because she hurt Dante too much, she was desperate and this what she’d got. None.
She didn’t ate breakfast and lunch, when suddenly she heard her tummy growling then she decided to go to the kitchen and cook something for dinner. Then, she found the letter. A letter from Dante, as she open it and read it.
Dear Faith,
I know I don't have the right to explain because it's what you want. I leave because it's what you want. I've just realized that the only thing you want from me is to use me... I know at first that you were only using me but I didn't care about it because there's still someone hoping that you will love him. I guess, I'm expecting too much or I'm just dreaming.
All I want from you is to love me but you never did and I never felt it. I've been giving you all this importance because I want you to realize that there is someone is loving you more... but you never realized.
I just wanted you to know that you're not only hurting me who's loving you, but you also hurting yourself for hoping for someone who doesn't really loved you at all.
for the last time, I want tell you that I want to protect you and I don't want you to be hurt. The reason why I punched Mark yesterday is that he was only cheating you and using you. He never loved you. But I... I don't want to interfere you again with Mark since you love him so much.
My goodbyes,
Dante
After reading the letter she found herself lonely, no one to talk to. She remembered that only Dante that she can talk to in this condo. But now, because of her, he leave without hesitation and didn’t come back. She did realize also that all the things he said to her was never wrong, he did it because he loved her.
Aside from the letter, inside the envelop was the ring he bought on their honeymoon trip. That was the only thing he left for her. The ring.
5 years later…
“Rolly, get me the long nose�, Dante said while repairing underneath the car. He is currently working to a car repair owned by his uncle Pido. He’s also an assistant and the one who manage the shop if his uncle is not feeling well. Dante’s assistant is Rolly, who grew up in an orphanage. She ran away when she was 13 years old from the orphanage for she wants to see her mother, but she ended up sleeping at the streets and then uncle Pido adopted her. Now, she's turning 19 and she also wants to manage their repair shop.
“Here it is…�, Rolly said when she look at him happily.
“Thanks�, smiling her back.
Its almost dinner time and Dante is still not finish fixing the car. When uncle Pido came and talked to him.
“the dinner is almost ready… you should stop that now�
“its ok, uncle. Im still not hungry. There is still a little more problem here in this wiring that I need to finish�, smiling at his uncle.
Dante had a late dinner, its was almost 10 when he ate his share.
Later, while sleeping. He’s having a very odd dream, he was hugging a girl tightly and felt the love he have right now. While hugging the girl, she was crying out loud and said “I love you� for three times.
It was not new to him anymore, he always dreams about that situation about the girl.

during her stay in Paris, she wanted to find herself and self-reflect. it didn't affect her when she met couple of guys and dumped some of her suitors. but now Faith is back and she wanted to start all over again. this time she wanted to make things right, everything in business, decided not to fall in love again like what she did from Mark and not to use people like what she did with Dante. she promise herself that if ever she will fall in love again, she promise that she will never let go of this person.... or rather she will wait for Dante's come back.
Catherine's the driver and at the front seat is Faith, reading the sales of their magazine. "so how do you find the sales? isn't that great?", Catherine said while driving.
"it's fine but the magazine we featured last month was not really boomed and something is missing... its like we need more relevant topics that the readers will get interested, right?" she replied.
"how about a party tonight? with the other girls?", Catherine change the topic.
"well, im not sure... i wanted to review the sales tonight and i want to go straight to the office tomorrow to meet up the new employees"
"well, i guess your right but don't push yourself to hard in your work, after self-reflecting for the past 3 years in Paris... now you've come back and act like a workaholic now".
"i know... im sorry.. but i want to focus this business cause im the one who wanted this, right?"
"yeah, but im just telling you this as a friend because i dont want to stress yourself".
"ok then... well, thanks for helping me out while im gone".
"oh, by the way... i heard this kind of new resort somewhere in Pangasinan. the business owner their is a bachelor and kinda handsome. i wanna meet him".
"ok, well... why don't we go there by weekend. maybe if we get to know him we would probably featured him in our next issue of the magazine".
"you're right! i can't wait to meet him".
herself and Catherine stay at their family's residence for awhile and when she got home to her old condo, where Dante used to live with her also... memories were back. nothing change since Dante went away for 5 years already. the two-year staying in this condo was to find him but she failed. when she sat to their old sofa and pick up the cordless phone she called Alex, whom Dante's bestfriend, at first she was asking if how was he but later on the topic change to Dante. she ask if Alex and Dante still meet but then Alex told her that its been 5 years since they haven't talk.
-----------------------MEANWHILE...
Rolly wants to go with Dante at "La Isle" resort because she had a big crush with Derick, the owner of the resort. Derick went to their car repair shop yesterday to fixed his car.
"Dante thanks for bringing up this car. i think my brother will be happy now that his car is fix... thanks to you", smiling while tapping Dante's back.

"no problem! how's your brother?", Dante asked.
"oh, he was having a headache recently because of the girls who call him everyday", joking around and then before getting in the car, "thanks! i owe you so much, bye!"
"it's nothing!..." smiling him back.
as Dante finish all his work by fixing cars, he get into his room and try to get a nap. but while getting inside his room the box from the top of the cabinet fell and all his things from the box scattered on the floor. it was his old things, then he saw the picture he kept for years inside the box. it was a wedding picture of him and Faith, then suddenly, Faith flash to his mind. he still admit that he has feelings for Faith but it was the end and he would also never forget that the person whom he loved is the person who truly hurt him. however, right now.. he was wondering how is Faith. while thinking of Faith, he suddenly hold the ring from his necklace. It's the wedding ring, which he decided not wear it on his finger but he put on a necklace.
Faith was tired from work. she was full of energy when facing all the paper works on top of her desk, but when she got home... she suddenly felt wanted to drink. so she went to her mini bar and get some wine. then, she went to her room. while drinking, she was looking at her wedding ring, she realize one thing... it was the most valuable thing she had when she got married. she never put away her ring from her wedding finger. suddenly tears fall from her eyes, she didn't know why she was crying. she felt losing someone in her life forever. she admit herself that she wanted to see Dante once more. Dante was her bestfriend, a brother and the one truly loves her but she never realize at first.
Saturday.
Catherine went to Faith's house to fetch her. they will go to the resort at Pangasinan as they plan. actually, Faith didn't want to go but Catherine wanted to her to go. as they reached their destination, the resort was really beautiful as what Catherine heard from rumors.

chapter 14
--------------------
Faith and Catherine meet at last the owner of the resort, Ralph Derick. He is still young to own a business, he's still turning 22 this year and yet his looks doesn't show that he is the owner, you can call him a college guy by his looks.
"So your one of the publishing company, nice to meet you...", giving them a polite smile.
"Yes, I am Catherine Salentino and this is Faith Valencia the owner and the CEO of the "POSH" magazine.
as they shake hands, Ralph give her a flattering expression. "Nice to meet you, i never knew there is such a beautiful CEO here", give her a wink.
Faith guess that the owner of this resort is one of the "NOT" STICK-TO-ONE guy, means he knows how to flirt and knows how to play the other feelings of the other girls, she just smile. "Nice to meet you too Mr. De Valle. i come here not only to interview you but to see your resort. we would like to hear your point of views about the resort, since your resort is one of the top 10 that has been selected last month for tourist spots here in the Philippines".
"Ah, yes...Well, as the owner of this resort , even though I am young to manage this whole resort. the people here don't under estimate my plans about the resort, for further discussion about this... let's go to the resto-bar".
after interview with Ralph. they went to stroll and try the curricular activities of the resort. Faith already feel exhausted, so she went back to cottage. as she went back, she saw Ralph was gone mad with his driver.
"You are so useless. how come you've been working here and my brother trusted you... call him to fix this car....and you.... you!"
"what's wrong Mr. De Valle?"
"this one was fixed awhile ago... my brother owns this car and its one of his collection. he will gone mad if he knew that his car got mess up".
he change the topic. "so how do you find the resort?".
"well, i guess im speechless about the scenery here. the tourists and other people who will visit here will be satisfies enough to stay here", gave him a smile.
as the driver was back with the repair man."Sir, Mr. Rivero is here now to see the car".
"okay, tell him that i'll be there in a minute..."
Suddenly Faith realize that he heard the last name of the repair man, she couldn't be mistaken... she felt weird when she heard the last name.
"i'll be going now Faith, i need to talk to someone..."
"can i come with you?"
"oh, okay..."
Dante was waiting at the parking area where the car parks. then Ralph came with a familiar woman, it was Faith. "Faith" he whispered to himself.
"Yo! Dante... i need you to fix the car again. here's the key!", he toss the key to him. but he didn't got the key because his eyes was with Faith.
as for Faith, her eyes was with Dante. as their eyes met, they felt the same a bit of shock to see each other again. its been years.
"Dante...", she spoke.
"Oh, you know Dante? Hey, Dante... you know Faith?".
as his mind get back into normal, he suddenly walk away. "hey, Dante! where are you going? you still need to fix the car!".
"i'll be back tomorrow, i just need to go home right away", as he still walking away to the exit gate.
Faith suddenly chasing him to the gate and as she reached him. she hold his arms to stop him.
"Wait...", she said while losing her breath from chasing him. She surely know that Dante walks fast.
