CHAPTER TWO: THROW BACK 1

“Ram… I’m scared…”

“Shhh… don’t be scared, Allyna… I love you so much! I won’t deceive you… I won’t leave you!” Ram whispered, his eyes half-lidded as he kept kissing her neck.

Allyna didn’t know exactly why she agreed to go with her boyfriend to his condo. She already knew that if she went with him, there was a strong possibility that something they shouldn’t do would happen.

And it was happening now.

Ram was slowly undressing her, and her uniform—just earlier neatly worn—was now scattered everywhere.

His kisses were intense… burning… intoxicating.

Allyna couldn’t push Ram away because deep inside, she also felt that she was starting to enjoy the way he was expressing his love for her.

She swallowed hard as Ram finally carried her and laid her down on the soft bed.

She could smell his clean bedsheets and the cool air of the room, but none of it mattered against the heat of their closeness.

Ram looked at her completely, finally seeing her beauty up close.

He kissed her lips—long, deep, passionate, and intense.

Allyna could feel it… she could no longer stop him. She saw the desire in his eyes, and every movement of his body made her heart race.

In their one year as a couple, Ram had always made her feel like a princess.

They studied in different universities, but that never stopped him from making time for her.

Ram came from a wealthy and powerful billionaire family. Because of that, material things were never a problem.

But that was not why Allyna loved him.

She felt it naturally. She loved him not because of his wealth, but because of who he was.

“Ram… t-this is wrong… we’re not married yet… we haven’t even finished our studies…” Allyna suddenly said, remembering her promise to her parents.

“Babe… I can’t stop now… please…” Ram pleaded, his eyes full of emotion.

Allyna could feel it—she could no longer stop him. It was too late.

“Say my name, Allyna… show me how much you love me,” Ram whispered, his voice low and filled with desire.

How could she deny him in this moment when she, too, was overwhelmed by her feelings?

From the very beginning, she had admired his eyes, his thick eyebrows, his sharp nose, and his lips that always looked like they were promising sweet kisses.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.

That was her surrender.

And in that moment, they were consumed by their feelings.

They gave in to the heat of their love.

They moved together in the rhythm of passion that belonged only to them.

When it ended, both of them were breathless.

Ram pulled her close and kissed her forehead.

“I love you so much, Allyna… now I’m sure no one else will ever have you but me.”

Allyna already knew this was what Ram wanted all along—to claim her completely.

Because of her beauty and figure, many men had tried to court her before.

That was why Ram was always jealous, especially of Timothy—her childhood friend in the province.

Even now, after giving him her virginity, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

She had no regrets… but she was scared. She didn’t know if she had made the right decision by giving in to her emotions.

“Hey… don’t tell me you’re regretting it, babe? That’s not what I saw on your face a while ago—” Ram teased, kissing her shoulder.

Allyna sighed and leaned on his chest.

“I’m not regretting it, Ram… you know I love you! I’m just scared that maybe—”

“What? That I’ll leave you after taking everything from you?” Ram interrupted. “Come on… that will never happen. Tomorrow, we’re going home to your family.”

“Why?!” Allyna asked, confused.

“Because I’m going to marry you, babe. You and me… perfect combination, right? Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your parents. And like we promised, we’ll help Angelo finish school together.”

“Ram—”

“Hmmm?”

“I love you… please don’t change… please love me until the end,” Allyna said through tears.

Ram gently wiped her tears away.

He couldn’t understand why she suddenly looked so emotional after his proposal.

But she didn’t hesitate.

She agreed immediately.

Because she believed Ram would never abandon her.

She believed he loved her.

And she thought it was the right decision… to be with him.

Back in her parents’ home…

“What?! Am I hearing this right, you two?” Mang Carding asked, his voice firm.

Allyna felt like her heart was about to fall out of her chest when she saw her father’s deep frown upon hearing Ram’s announcement.

“Are you sure about this, children?” Aling Rebeca asked gently. “You’re still young… you haven’t even finished college yet.”

They looked at each other.

“Yes,” Ram answered, holding Allyna’s hand tightly.

Her hands were trembling… sweaty… nervous.

“Allyna,” her father called firmly. “Are you sure about this? Have you really thought it through?”

Allyna saw the pain in her father’s eyes.

It crushed her.

Her father was strict, but loving—always putting his children first. She had promised to help her younger brother Angelo finish school.

But now, she was choosing love over responsibility.

“Allyna… your father is asking you,” her mother said softly.

Ram squeezed her hand, giving her courage.

Allyna took a deep breath.

“Yes… yes, Father… Mother… I’m sure about marrying Ram… we love each other.”
