"Pawns to pawns, castles to castles, getting knocked down and torn to pieces once you lose. That's the game of life I was facing. Like the game of chess, indeed. Have you ever experienced getting complimented by how you look? Well, for me, hindi. Never panga ako nagka roon ng mga manliligaw. Which is bullshit, by the way. But thinking about the pasts was tearing me apart. Since it's not my past! It's this princess' past! This present. The present that I am now, reincarnated. As a rag looking princess whose fate is doomed. By the hands I've never known"

"Muffin" "What?" I asked in confusion, looking at the man in a black suit, he wasn't looking at any of the pastries... "The muffin. I'll take all of them." "All of them? There are at least 50 muffins, in different flavors." I responded, he was looking at me, almost checking me out but before I could respond, I could see his hand clenched, almost like trying to hold himself from doing something... He didn't respond "Alright, please give me a moment-" "tell me your name." I paused and turned around to look at him, just processing what he just said. After a few seconds of awkward silence, I finally opened my mouth, "Syalis. Syalis Harper, Sir." "...Beautiful..." He mumbled "It's Enzo, Muffin." That took me off guard for a bit by what he just called me, I turned around and yet, I can feel his eyes linger on my body, that gave me goosebumps but I shrugged it off and continued gently moving each muffin with different flavors to different boxes and placed it on the counter. "They will be all 150 dollars, sir-" "Enzo." "...They will be all 150 dollars.. Enzo." The end of his lips curved up a bit before picking up the boxes and placed 10 grand on the counter which causes my jaw to drop. Who would just place a ten grand without hesitation?! Obviously the rich one but ten grand?! I mistakenly misunderstand it, thinking that he just needed a change. "Sir, I don't have a lot of change." "Take the change, I enjoyed the view a little too much after all.." What..? What view..?
