Chapter 31As Jesley descended the stairs, she noticed that the room was already crowded with people. Despite the crowd, she spotted her father chatting with his friends. She hurried over and embraced him from behind, resting her head on his back.Alverdo turned around and was surprised to see Jesley standing before him, a wide smile on her face. He hadn't expected her to attend her sister's engagement party, especially after the pain Olivia had caused her."Surprise, Daddy!" Jesley exclaimed, hugging him once more."Jesley, how...?" Alverdo stammered, struggling to find the right words."Daddy, my sister needs me today more than ever. It's a joyous occasion for her, and as her younger sister, I want to support her, despite our past differences," Jesley said softly, her smile unwavering.“You inherited your mother's kind heart," he said, pulling her into a hug.Jesley's lips curved into a sly smirk as she embraced her father, returning the hug. She couldn't help but feel a surge of fr
Chapter 32Natalie slowly turned around, trying to think of a convincing excuse as she faced Helen, who was staring at her with a furrowed brow."Why do you always bow your head like that? Are you trying to hide your face?" Helen asked, attempting to peek at Natalie's face, but she continued to bow. "Where are you rushing off to, anyway?" She dismissed her first question and waited for Natalie to respond to the second."I needed to use the bathroom," Natalie mumbled, fidgeting nervously with her fingers behind her back.Helen nodded and walked away, leaving Natalie feeling relieved. Suddenly, Elvis's phone calls started coming in non-stop, prompting Natalie to quickly escape through the back door and find herself in the car garage. There, she saw Elvis waiting impatiently, glancing around anxiously.“I'm here, Elvis," Natalie said, giving him a light tap on the shoulder.Elvis wasn’t surprised by her touch, as he had been expecting her. He smiled in relief, but quickly changed to a st
Chapter 1; His report Javier stared at his doctor with a dropped jaw as if he had grown two horns on his head, when he heard the news that he couldn't produce a sperm to bear his own child. Confusion washed over him, evident in his facial expression. The sofa he was sitting on suddenly became uncomfortable, prompting him to stand up and pace around the room, his hands buried in his hair as he tried to process and digest the information calmly yet he was anxious. Turning towards his doctor, Javier sighed and asked, "What do you mean, Ronnie?" His voice was slow and strained, as he fought to hold back his emotions because he was on the verge of breaking down already. Ronnie began, "Javier, you know we've been friends since college and I can't lie to—" "Get to the point," Javier snapped impatiently, glaring at him. Ronnie blurted out, "You are suffering from erectile dysfunction . I-I mean you're infertile." He quickly looked away, realizing his bluntness. Javier furrowed his eyebr
Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Refusing offer. Javier smirked at his father, and after some minutes he asked, "You mean the date you forced me to go ? Well...she deserved everything I said and did to her," he stated firmly, clasping his hands behind his back. Mr. Reyes's hand moved swiftly through the air to slap Javier once again, but he anticipated it and quickly caught hold of his father's hand and pushed it away. "What do you want from me, Dad? Haven't you used me enough? Answer me, haven't you?" Javier erupted, throwing his hands up in the air angrily, as his chest kept rising and falling in rage. Javier had always been disappointed in his father since he was a child. He couldn't comprehend how a man who claimed to be his biological father would sacrifice his son's lifelong happiness for the sake of his company's partnership with Mr. Alverdo. He was disgusted by his father's selfishness, which led him to refuse his father's demands. He might as well do his worst because he was not read
During the ride, Elvis decided to strike up a conversation, thinking carefully about what he wanted to say. However, Javier was still on the phone with Fabby, who was reporting something to him. Elvis noticed that Javier's face was scrunched up in anger and he was clutching his right hand into a fist. "Alright, Fabby," Javier said, ending the call and gnashing his teeth. "Javier, is everything okay?" Elvis asked, turning to Javier. Javier shook his head. "Daddy always wants to have his way all the time," he complained. Elvis sighed. "Then you should involve grandpa in this before it gets out of hand," he suggested. Javier nodded in agreement. "I think..." Suddenly, “Aaaah!!” Elvis screamed and slammed on the brakes. "Holy fuck!" he cursed, fear visible in his eyes, as he breathed heavily. Javier turned to him, wondering why he was freaking out; Like he saw a ghost. "What happened?" Javier asked, knowing something big must have scared him. "Javier, I accidentally splashed mud on
Elvis's car sped into his building, and the automatic gate closed behind them. Javier was the first to exit the car, storming into Elvis's house in a fit of anger as he kept cursing endlessly under his breath, while Elvis followed behind, finding amusement in the incident that had occurred an hour ago. He knew that was the reason for Javier's anger.Javier sat angrily on the couch, still struggling to believe the audacity of the woman who had slapped his face without any fear. He was curious about her identity."Can you believe that lady? She was so brave and full of energy. I'm still stunned that she wasn't even scared of you like the others," Elvis exclaimed, laughing as he sat down on the couch opposite Javier.Javier glared at him and scoffed, rolling his eyes."Ladies like her still exist! Whoa!" He continued to praise Natalie non-stop."More reason why I'm going to make her life miserable. I will ruin her," Javier growled, clenching his fists, plotting revenge against Natalie. He
Olivia stood at the entrance of the door. She was the devil, just as Elvis had claimed. ‘Did she really have to come here, of all places?’ Javier thought and hissed. He had already reached his limit. First, it was his father, then that crazy lady who had the audacity to slap him, and now he had to deal with this woman too. His eyes remained fixed on the door without blinking. After a few minutes of scanning the club room, Olivia's gaze finally landed on them. She wore a devilish smirk as she cat-walked towards them like the model she is. While Javier pretended to be engrossed in his cell phone, secretly plotting numerous schemes against her. She finally reached their table and realized there were no empty seats. Her gaze wandered around, as they finally landed on a couple enjoying their time together. She approached them seeking the attention she desired from Javier. Olivia intentionally caused a scene by forcefully displacing the lady from her seat, causing her to fall to the groun
The sun's rays streamed through Olivia's large glass windows, illuminating her face and causing her to stir in bed. However, she remained still and made no effort to rise. Her cell phone continuously buzzed with incoming messages, prompting her to reach out and retrieve it from her bedside table. In doing so, she suddenly felt a jolt and nearly lost her balance while attempting to stand. Instantly, a peculiar and intense headache overwhelmed her, causing her to clutch her head with her right hand in hopes of alleviating the pain. Unfortunately, her efforts proved futile, as she kept hissing in pain. Olivia's steps faltered as she approached her expansive dressing mirror. Her reflection startled her, causing her to pause and her mouth hang open. It felt as though she was gazing at a completely different person. She appeared disheveled, despite her efforts to muster the little energy she had left to shower the previous night. She suspected she had cried herself to sleep, given her re
