"Jayden, I know you only said those words because you thought I cheated on you. But I really did no such thing!" Belle cried pitifully as she clung to Jayden's arm. She was begging him to listen, but those tears of hers didn't soften Jayden's expression at all. He didn't even look at her. Belle was a bit disappointed but she wasn't disheartened. She squeezed his arms against her chest trying to get his attention by making Jayden aware of her fair cleavage. She was wearing an off shoulder silver dress with a sweetheart neckline, revealing a good view of her upper breasts. When Jayden felt her soft flesh, he turned to look and he instantly stiffened. He was reminded of how those plump breasts felt on his hands. Although he didn't like this woman anymore, he's still a man! This kind of seduction can still stir his lust!
Upstairs, Arianna was attentively watching the show through her laptop screen. Seeing how Jayden lifted his hand and touched Belle's bare shoulder, Arianna's eyes darkened. Belle was really the queen of seduction. This show could reveal to her what Jayden's true intention might be. Could it be that.... all of these are just the couple's acts?
"Belle," Jayden said as he put his right hand on her shoulder. "Please leave yourself with some dignity. I already told you, it's over between us. No matter what you do, there's no way you can change my mind." he replied as he push Belle away.
Yes, he admit that he's tempted. But whenever the scene in that scandalous video surface on his mind, it was like a bucket of cold, icy water was poured all over him. The lust was replaced by disgust. It was really hard to stomach!
"Jayden, I love you..."
"But I don't love you!" Jayden raised his voice as if losing his patience. "I don't love you anymore! I'll never get back together with you again! Ever!"
Jayden immediately left the room, leaving Belle stupefied. She took a long while before she could regain her wits, on which made her all of a sudden hysterical. She threw vases on the floor, broke large frames on the wall, and scattered files everywhere. She shouted and cried, cursing Arianna at the top of her lungs like a mad man.
Jayden heard the noise inside the room but he ignored it and just fished his phone out and gave Arianna a call. He just said a quick goodbye as he was leaving the house. He then put the phone back in his jacket's inside pocket. He was in a bad mood at the moment and really felt like going home. How Belle tried to seduce him, and how Belle reacted like a psycho, he didn't like any of it. The woman was really sickening. He used to think she was a kind, sensible and gentle lady, but it turned out that he was deceived for so long!
Meanwhile, in Arianna's room, the woman was staring at her phone with a frown. Everything that happened, why is that she didn't feel good about any of those? She should be glad seeing Jayden smitten by her, right? But why did it feel like she was entering a trap? She should celebrate witnessing Belle be crushed, but she just felt coldness in her heart. Was she overthinking again?
Arianna and Jayden share the same trait. They both loves challenges. They like obsessing over things they couldn't get. However, things lately have been too easy. Maybe that's the reason why she thinks everything was surreal. And maybe that's the reason why she suddenly felt disinterested in Jayden. Him chasing after her, it didn't look fun anymore.

Inside a white room, Yago was staring at the man lying in bed. His face was pale, but still, it wasn't enough to mask his feature's similarities with Yago. A moment later, his eyes opened slightly.
"Brother!" he whispered.
Yago nodded. His brother's condition has been stable lately. Why did he suddenly had a heart attack tonight?
"Could you please stop worrying about unnecessary things? Look at you! Don't you pity yourself, Vier?"
Indeed, Vier was worrying about a lot of things lately. Five months ago, he came in Dan City to look for his long lost brother. He was suffering from a heart disease and his parents was urging him to undergo a heart transplant. The success rate was very low though. He could die during the operation and he didn't want to pass away without even meeting his brother Santiago.
"I'll arrange for your departure. You can't continue like this. You should go back and do the surgery." Yago added, trying his best to convince him.
For a moment, Vier was silent. When he opened his mouth to reply, it was like he was about to cry.
"I want to be with you..." he mumbled.
Yago held his forehead, annoyed.
"Will you please stop acting like a child? You're twenty-eight years old! How did your parents raised you? You're spoiled rotten!"
" They're your parents too!"
" No, they weren't! They kept you with them while sending me away! I don't need parents like those!"
Silence. Both of them were engulfed with silence. Yago tried calming himself while Vier pondered about the things that happened in the past.
"Brother... please forgive me. Everything that happened before was my fault."he said using his soft voice.
Yago sighed. He didn't blame Vier at all. It wasn't what he meant.
"Fine." Yago conceded. "I'll come with you and accompany you during your surgery. I'll arrange for our flight immediately."
Vier stared at his brother for a long time. It was like he was waiting for him to say more. Before, Yago refused to go with him because he didn't want to leave Arianna alone. He was head-over-heels in love with that woman that he said he would only leave if he could take her with him. Now though, he's saying otherwise?
"Did your girl agreed to come along?" Vier asked out of curiosity. However, Yago shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"She...didn't want to come with me. I thought of giving her some time to think things over."
Sadness was evident in Yago's eyes. Vier was sure his brother wasn't willing to leave her. Was he doing this just for him? His heart ached for his poor brother.
"I changed my mind. You don't have to go with me anymore." he said as he looked away.
Yago's eyes suddenly softened. He, again shook his head. "I'll go take care of you. I must make sure of your heart transplant's success. " he said while clenching his left fist. In his hand was a small ring that can only fit a child's finger.
"You're my twin bother. If I could, I'll give you my heart."
