GINA



She is currently watching a television series with her mother and sister who are addicted to such shows. They were focused on what they were watching so she just watched it until the end. The three of them have more to talk about because of her surprising statement earlier.



FLASHBACK



When she returned to their house, she found her sister and mother crying while watching the television series. She finished the momentum between the two before she entered the scene. When her mother noticed her, she immediately greeted her with a hug.



"Gina, how are you? Janice and I miss you so much," her mother said welcoming her.



"Sis," Janice said who suddenly stood up.

But when she saw Janice her eyes widened.



"What does this mean, Janice?"



"Sis, I'm so sorry," her sister said, sobbing.



"Mom, why are you keeping it a secret from me?"



"Gina, we have no plans to hide your 

ACE



The words shocked him speechless and he didn't know where Gina's question was coming from.



"I'm no longer a virgin, Ace." She said.



"I didn't expect you to be a virgin," he said honestly.



He got up from his seat and immediately took his jacket before he went to the exit door. Gina followed him and spoke continuously.

He was still unmoved by what Gina was telling him and instead he continued to walk. Gina, on the other hand, continued to tail him.



"I don't care about it."



"Then w

She was dumbfounded by what Ace said. What? He will marry me? She felt the blood drain from her face, while she couldn't move her mouth to answer Ace.



"We're not going to be in the same room," Ace assured her. "We need to ensure your security because as long as you're married to me, I can protect you."



"Protect," she repeated the last thing Ace told her.



"As far as I know, Brando has his own code of ethics. He won't touch another man's wife and another man's leaving, because for him -'What's him is only for him' - even though he left his wife then."



"He's already married?" she was in shock.



"Before, but now he's a widower."



"What happened to his wife, Ace?"



"His wife was killed."



"How?" she suddenly asked Ace and thought of it before she could speak again. "How did you find out about them?"



"It's my job to find out about him. I mean, it's my job to find
