Following the death of her beloved grandfather, Desire is thrust into the demanding role of CEO, leaving behind her promising career as a surgeon. However, Chase, driven by greed and ambition, relentlessly sabotages her efforts to uphold her grandfather's legacy, resorting to deceit and even attempted murder to eliminate her from the equation.

Chapter: Chapter 10; Chase's POV; "Could you believe it? I was there when he was having difficulties with that stupid company! But he only gave me 20% share? What am I going to do with that stupid share?" I slammed my fist hard on the table. This is a big embarrassment and I will never accept it! "Bro, calm down. Atleast he gave you 20% share when in fact we both know that you don't deserve any of it!" Louie said that made me more furious. "Are you serious? You think I don't deserve anything? After all my sacrifices?" I was about to punch him but he was able to catch my fist before it landed on his face. "Bro, calm down. Remember what you did to him! You killed him! You have killed the man who stood beside you as your father and raised you like his own child! Man that was insane! You have a very big sin!" he told me. "You shut up! If that stupid Desire finds out about this, I would strangle your neck and throw your dead body in the river!" I warned him. He swallowed the lump

Chapter: Chapter 9; The Alliance Of Shadows The air in the boardroom was thick with tension, a palpable mix of ambition and uncertainty. Desire sat at the head of the long, polished table, her fingers drumming lightly against the surface, a rhythmic reminder of her resolve. The room was filled with half of the board members of Almonte Empire, a group of seasoned executives who had weathered storms and navigated corporate treachery for decades. But today, they were not just there to discuss quarterly profits; they were there to discuss a war. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice,” she began, her voice steady and commanding. “I know the recent changes have left many of you unsettled. My grandfather , the chairman had left us unexpectedly. And knowing my uncle he would do everything to take over. Chase is ambitious, but he lacks the vision to lead this company into the future. I believe together, we can change that.” A murmur of agreement rippled through the room, but Desire could see the hesitation in their eyes. They

Chapter: Chapter 8; The Weight Of LossDesire’s heart raced as she sprinted through the hospital’s sliding glass doors, the sterile scent of antiseptic and the muted sounds of beeping machines enveloping her like a shroud. Panic clawed at her throat, each step echoing the urgency of her thoughts. She had received the call just moments ago, a frantic voice on the other end telling her to hurry. Her grandfather, the patriarch of the Almonte family, was in critical condition. “Where is he?” she gasped, her breath coming in sharp bursts as she approached the reception desk. The nurse behind the counter looked up, her expression a mix of sympathy and professionalism. “Please, I need to see my grandfather, Mr. Almonte,” Desire pleaded, her voice trembling. The nurse’s eyes softened, but there was a gravity in her demeanor. “I’m sorry, but you need to follow me. He’s… he’s in the morgue.” Desire’s heart sank, the words hitting her like a physical blow. “No, no, that can’t be right. I just spoke to him last night. He was fine

Chapter: Chapter 7 *Desire's POV* I woke up to the smell of ethanol and was greeted by completely white surroundings. What happened last night came flashing in my mind. I was stabbed! I checked my stomach, and saw a bandage in there, indicating that what happened last night wasn't a dream. I was really stabbed after doing the medical mission! I tried to stand up but my wound feels like it's burning every time I tried to move. Gosh! I still have some patients to attend to! I can't be here laying in bed while my patients are waiting for me! The door swung open to reveal my grandfather's worried face. He's with my nanny who's obviously worried as well. I felt sorry for making them worry. &nb

Chapter: Chapter 6*Third Person's POV* It was already dusk when Desire and her team decided to go home after their successful medical mission. They are all very happy that they were able to help the people of that small village. Desire is smiling from ear to ear as she watch the people carrying the foods and medicines they gave them. "I guess everyone will have a nice dinner doc," Patricia mumbled with a smile on her face. They are all very tired but just by seeing the smile on the people's faces, their tiredness wear off. "You're right Pat. We did a good job for today. I'm very much grateful to all of you. This medical mission will not be possible without your help," Desire said with sincerity. "We are also thankful to you doc for letting us participate in t

Chapter: Chapter 5 *Desire's POV* After almost three hours drive, we finally reached the place where we will conduct our medical mission. We were greeted by smiley faces and polite people. The place is a slightly crowded area, with houses made of nipa and surrounded with different kinds of trees. Children were busy playing with mud while their parents patiently wait for us to finish setting up our tent. "Doctor, we prepared some food for you and your team." A man in his mid 60's approached me with a smile on his wrinkled face. He's probably the leader of this neighborhood. "Thank you for your generosity," I thanked him with a smile on my face. He smiled at me as well. I can't help but admire these people fo

Chapter: Chapter 45; *First Person's POV* Just as when I was about to blame myself, Leanna spoke, "No madame! The Gods did not sacrifice all of you!" The woman diverted her gaze to her. "And how did you know?" she asked while raising her left brow. "Because I'm one of the servants of the Gods. I am the guardian of the chosen one, and I know the whole story," Leanna stated while the woman stared at her with wide eyes. "So you're one of their accomplices? And you planned all of this just to know our whereabouts and sacrifice our lives once again? I really can't believe that the Gods could be that selfish! "No! I just want you to know the truth!" "We already know what the truth is!" the woman insisted."When we met the dark immortals earlier they told us that the reason why you hid yourselves down here, is that you are all selfish. But I did not believe them, because I don't want to judge someone without even knowing the truth. I just hope you will do the same with the God

Chapter: Chapter 44; First Person's POV; "ZION!" I heard Diane screaming Zion's name. She must've been worried about him but the big question in my mind right now is, why would Zion risk his life to protect me? I stared at his eyes but still I could not see any emotion from it. He's still as cold as ice. "Your highness ,you better not forget our mission. Don't be so careless, or you might get yourself killed," Stefan said and Zion automatically let go of me. It's as if he was burned or something. "Are you okay Ana?" Diane asked as she hurriedly run towards me. Lyndon and Leanna did the same thing and they started checking if I got wounds or bruises. "I'm fine guys, you don't have to worry about me," I told them with a smile. The three of them stared at Zion with confusions written all over their faces. They were probably thinking on why the hell would Zion save my life, when he's obviously one of our enemies wishing for my death. Well, I wonder the same thing though. Maybe it

Chapter: Chapter 43 *First Person's Pov*Our journey to the North side of the forest lasted for two dark days. We were all exhausted when we reach the pear plantation.The place was serene and just like the other side of the forest, we did not see even a single animal walking around. All we could see through the tiny light of the moon are tall pear trees with fruits shining as it's touched by the moonlight."How are we going to find the white oracles here? All that's here are pear trees," Diane said frustratingly."Haven't you heard what Leanna told us before we came here? Pears are what the white oracles eat. So I'm pretty sure we're going to find one here!" Lyndon told Diane with a glare. I can't believe these two are starting to have their quarrels again."Guys please just be quite. We're not trying to let them know we're here and run off, aren't we?" I hushed them out."Sorry Ana, it just that there's some grinch over here!" Diane rolled her eyes at Lyndon."So you dare to say that I'm a grinch?

Chapter: Chapter 42; *First Person's POV*Just by looking into his eyes I realised how much I've longed for him. And in a split second I found myself drowning in the valley of his gaze as I danced with the rhythm of my heart. I don't need a love like Romeo and Juliet's, nor of Edward and Bella. What I want is a unique and pure love whom I can call my own."Zion," I mumbled as the wind gently blows, touching his face. He stared at me emotionless, it's as if he doesn't even know who I am. How come? I thought our love was unforgettable. But it seems like I'm the only one who thinks that way."Oh my dear cousin." I was pulled out from my fantasies when I heard my cousin's voice."Amira? What are you doing here?" I asked her in disbelief. Don't tell me, that she and Zion came here together? My questions were answered when she clung to Zion's arms and smirked at me."Oh my dear cousin, it seems like you have fallen in love with someone you don't know," she told me with a smirk."What are you talking about

Chapter: Chapter 41*Third Person's POV*"That chosen one is starting to piss me off!" Velion shouted angrily after receiving the news from the raven he sent to follow Princess Ana Mae."I did not know that they could easily know the secret on how to defeat those spirit knights," Amira said in disbelief. Velion stared at her angrily and she nervously swallowed the lump in her throat."And you! You're a coward! You should've fought with her instead of leaving those spirit knights alone!" he yelled at her. "You could've defeated her since I have given you a lot of powers. But you're still useless!""I'm sorry my king, I promise to do my job better next time. Just please don't punish me," she begged. She's too scared to be killed. She don't want to die without avenging her mom. Besides, all her efforts would be in vain if Velion would kill her now."Surely you will. Because if you fail this time, I will kill you without having a second thought," he warned her. "I promise my king, just tell me what you wan

Chapter: Chapter 40 *First Person's POV* The woods were covered with darkness and just like when we first entered this forest, we did not see even a single animal. Not even a chirp from a bird could be heard. "It's getting creepier in here," Diane whispered to me while biting her nail. It's some kind of mannerism for her whenever she fell nervous. "I know but we still have to travel to the North part of this forest. We need to find the white oracles as soon as possible," I told her. And with the tiny light from the moon, I saw her pout. "Yeah but don't you think we need to rest a bit? Those dark spirit knights drained all my strength," she complained which made me chuckle. "I think you're right. After all we're all exhausted after that intense fight ,we all deserve to rest," I agreed with her. "Let's look for a safe place to camp," Lyndon suggested. We all agreed and look for a safe place to stay. Leanna walked farther from us so she could check if the area is safe.
