3rd Person POV



Clearly uncomfortable and anxious, Myrah excused herself and walked out. She didn't even look back nor did she had any intention to.



Both men could only watch as she left in a hurry.



"Guess she really needed to go." Sabi ni Kieth.



Tumingin si V sa kanya at nakita siyang kumakain na parang walang pake sa mundo.



It made his blood boil.



He had been controlling his temper the whole time they were there and made sure Myrah wouldn't feel too uncomfortable or burdened but Kieth here was acting like he was completely oblivious to everything.



Alam niya na hindi ganun ka babaw si Kieth and that only made him even more furious.



Kieth was messing with Myrah.



Sensing V's glare, Kieth looked at him.



"What? May sinabi ba ako?" He blinked, feigning innocence.



V scoffed, "Alam mo kung ano ang sinabi mo."



Judging by how Myrah reacted, he had a vague idea as to what those words meant.



He wasn't that naive.



Kieth raised his arms in sarcastic defeat, "Hey, if you're that worried about her, go get her. Bat ka pa nakikipag away sakin?"



"At ikaw?" V asked.



He told Myrah to think about her feelings for him.



And now, he needed to know if this guy was still the man he talked to in the hospital.



Kieth looked at him and smiled, "If you're asking if I'm worried, I'm not." He pointed his fork at V. "That's the boyfriend's job."



Boyfriend?



Myrah didn't tell him that they broke up?



V was shocked but he didn't let it show. "Are you telling me that you give up?"



Kieth laughed. "Oh, hell no." And for the first time, he glared back. "I'm only respecting your temporary relationship."



They stared each other down for a full minute.



That was when V knew that Kieth was still aiming for Myrah's heart and that he was not joking around.



"That avid fan you were talking about." V started. "It was Myrah, wasn't it? That was your story, wasn't it?"



He had hoped it wasn't, but he asked anyway.



He was having a hard time thinking about that possibility, but he asked anyway.



Because he felt like he was left in the dark.



He waited for his response but there was none.



Kieth only smirked as he swirled his wine around. He didn't even need to say a word.




That alone confirmed V's suspicion.



And he felt his world coming down and he dropped his head, in obvious pain.
