Chapter: EpilogueITINAAS ni Alfred ang kanang kamay, at lumabas ang lahat ng tauhan ng Allamino mafia. Ganoon din ang ginawa ni Beckett, at nagsilabasan din ang mga tauhan niyang nagtatago lang sa puno at mga damuhan kanina.Seeing how the two leaders are determined to clash with each other, it only means one thing: this place will be in bloodshed soon.At ganoon na nga ang nangyari. Nagsimulang maglabanan ang mga tao sa pagitan ni Beckett at Alfred. Dumanak ang dugo, at maraming buhay ang nawala. It was a long-time war between the two of them, and Beckett won.Ngayon ay nasa harapan na sila ng isa’t-isa. Si Alfred ay nakaupo sa sahig habang puno ng sugat at pasa ang katawan dahil sa pambubugbog ni Beckett sa kan’ya, habang si Beckett naman ay nakatayo. Nakatutok ang baril nito kay Alfred.“I know you want to kill me… But why can’t you fucking pull the trigger?” tanong ni Alfred habang nakangisi. “Bumalik na naman ba ang takot mong pumatay ng tao?”“Hah.” Beckett clicked his tongue, annoyed.Ngunit hin

Chapter: Chapter 84 (Part 2)SA GALIT ni Alfred, lumapit siya kay Vivianne sa malalaking hakbang bago hinawakan ang kuwelyo ng damit nito. “Bawiin mo ‘yang sinabi mo.”“Hindi kita tatay para sundin ka.” Ngumisi si Vivianne, lalo na nang makitang mas lalong nag-alab ang galit sa mga mata ni Alfred. “Kahit kailan, hindi kita itinuring na ama dahil wala akong demonyong ama kagaya mo—”Hindi na natapos ni Vivianne ang sasabihin dahil bigla na lang binitiwan ni Alfred ang kuwelyo niya at sinampal siya. Hindi lang isa, kun’di tatlong beses.Vivianne smiled painfully. ‘Yong masayang pamilyang pinapangarap niya… Kahit kailan ay hindi niya makukuha ‘yon. At kailangan niyang tanggapin ang masakit na katotohanan.“Wala kang modo! Pagkatapos ng lahat ng ginawa ko para sa ‘yo, ganito ang igaganti mo sa akin? Ang labanan ako at insultuhin?!” Pumalibot ang sigaw at galit ni Alfred sa buong office.Natawa si Vivianne nang sarkastiko. “Wala akong modo? At para sa akin ang lahat ng ginawa mo? Bakit, tinanong mo ba muna kung gusto

Chapter: Chapter 84 (Part 1)PAGKATAPOS no’n, pinag-usapan nila magdamag kung ano ang susunod nilang plano. Nagkasundo sila sa isang bagay. Itatakas nila si Ella sa ospital, at ituturok ang panibagong gamot na ginawa ni Beckett upang magising ito.“I will distract Alfred and his men,” ani Beckett bago itinuro ang kanang bahagi ng footprint. “We will go here, since Ella’s room is on the left side of the hospital. And while we’re here, use the opportunity to escape with your mother.”“Pero delikado ‘yon.” Umiling si Vivianne. “Baka napaghandaan ‘to ni Alfred, at ipapatay ka sa mismong ospital. Kayang-kaya niya ‘yon gawin. Maniwala ka sa akin.”“I believe you, but it doesn’t matter. What’s important for me right now is to save your mother, and fullfil my promise to you…” Muling humalik si Beckett sa noo ng asawa. “So let’s do this… and see the end together.”KINABUKASAN ay oras na para maisakatuparan ang plano. Nandoon na sa parking lot si Beckett, maging ang mga tauhan na magpapanggap bilang doktor, nurse, at janit

Chapter: Chapter 83NAGPUNTA si Alfred sa ospital matapos no’n para tingnan ang kalagayan ni Ella. He’s making sure Ella will be alive, but not enough to wake her up. Ipagagamot niya lang ito sa oras na sumunod si Vivianne sa mga kagustuhan niya.Pero tila hindi yata umaayon sa kan’ya ngayon ang tadhana, dahil laking gulat na lang niya nang makitang kalalabas lang ni Vivianne sa kuwarto ni Ella, at may hawak itong isang malaking maleta.“Ano’ng ibig sabihin nito?” tanong ni Alfred sa isang malalim at galit na tono. “Iiwan mo ang nanay mo para sa lalaking 'yon?”“Kakapaalam ko lang sa kan’ya kanina, at sigurado akong maiintindihan niya ako,” sagot naman ni Vivianne.“How can she understand if she's already dead?”“She won’t die.” Nagtiim ng bagang si Vivianne, ngunit pinilit niyang ikalma ang sarili. Hindi ito ang oras para makipag-away siya sa ama. Sobra na rin siyang pagod sa dami ng nangyari. “Aalis na ako.”Humakbang si Vivianne paabante, at akala niya ay hindi na magsasalita ang ama, ngunit nagkamali

Chapter: Chapter 82“TWENTY million dollars.”“Twenty million? Dollars? Nahihibang ka na ba?!” biglang sigaw ni Vivianne nang mapagtanto kung ano ang gustong gawin ng asawa. “Huwag! Masyadong malaki ang pera na ‘yon! Iwan mo na lang ako rito!”“Shut up, lady,” saad ni Raul sa malalim na boses. Nakakunot ang noo nito at mukhang naingayan dahil sa pagsigaw ni Vivianne sa lenggwaheng hindi naman niya maintindihan.“Non maledire con mia moglie, Raul.” [Don’t curse at my wife.]At hindi rin naman nagustuhan ni Beckett ang ginawang pagsita ni Raul sa asawa, lalo na ang tono ng boses nito. Sumama ang tingin niya kay Raul, ngunit mabilis din naman niyang napakalma ang sarili.“So, is this enough for you to buy guns from their organization?” tanong ni Beckett bago itinaas ang diamond card. “You have collateral, and remember how I saved your ass when we’re in elementary school?”Lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat, hindi lang basta magkakilala si Raul at Beckett. Magkaklase sila noon, at nang may magtangkang gumulpi kay Ra

Chapter: Chapter 3Time flies so fast and all I have to do is to work. It may be a tiring routine, but at the same time, it felt like it was my purpose: To work and grind my ass off until I save enough money to do the things I want and to find the things I need.“Lucky clients…” I murmured as I was looking at what stocks to buy. “I wish that I'm as rich as them.”Suddenly, there was a knock on my office as I heard the door open. I didn’t need to glance at him to know who he was.None other than Kleinder."Go on, sir," I said briefly as I continued to scroll through the stock report of this one company I had seen.The increase and decrease of this company’s stock price are fluctuating, but when I look at its stock price movement, I can’t deny that it is good to invest here for the short term. It may be fluctuating but when its stock price rises, it is even higher than the standard price. My clients will be able to have some gain.This is exactly what I was looking for. Some of my clients only want short-

Chapter: Chapter 2"What if I resign so I don't have to respect you anymore? What do you think?" I stopped walking and looked at him with a mixture of arrogance and defiance. "Will you accept my resignation letter?"We are now outside the meeting room. Our co-employees glanced from time to time, but none of them tried to mediate the possible quarrel between the two of us. It was a potential fight between the branch manager and the finance manager. No one will try to intervene.When I was a newcomer here at Hornbrown Investments, I gave him a resignation letter because I couldn't get along with him. It was so hard for me that I see him often making out with different girls when I go there to report. That was so disgusting!I'm not having a hard time because I like him. I was struggling because I loathe him. He has no ethical manners!It's a good thing now that he doesn't do that anymore, or should I say that it was my fault because he almost got caught back then? I was that close to reporting him to the

Chapter: Chapter 1"Good job, Miss Vernace," Mr. Rusco applauded me as he was smiling ear-to-ear. He stood up and extended his right arm to shake hands with me. "You never failed to amaze me with your competence and skills."Mr. Rusco, the humble CEO of Hornbrown Investments, is here today at the Manila Branch to check on the performance of his managers. As of now, he was done listening to my presentation and based on his expression, I am one hundred percent sure that he liked it."Thank you so much, sir," I replied to him in a polite tone before I reached for his hand and moved it slightly so that we could both shake hands. "It's my great pleasure to work in this company."Loud applause was heard throughout the meeting room after I presented our monthly sales today at Hornbrown Investments. I am not saying this to brag, but I am one of their most valuable financial managers here at the Manila Branch, not only because I’m a professional and I communicate well with investors, but also because of my compe

Saved By The Cold-hearted Billionaire
He had a heart covered with ice, but for her, he'd burn himself to ashes... and the world under her feet.
***
Beckett Clainfer wanted to find his parent's murderer. With that in mind, he endured every pain for the pleasure that's about to come - Reputation, wealth, and a drug den that suffices his needs and luxuries.
However, when Vivianne entered his life, everything went chaotic. He sinfully fell in love with her when he should have never been involved with her in the first place... Especially when she wanted him dead more than anyone else.
He's willing to do anything to save her, and he was willing to cross the line as he joined Foedus Corporation in Agrianthropos City for her.
But could he find salvation in Hell?
***
Vivianne Allamino had been suffering throughout her life. Being forced to take over their illegal family business in leverage to her mother's safety scared the shit out of her. Since childhood, she was trained... and was controlled like a mere puppet.
And now, she was done tolerating all this shit. She just wanted everything to end.
Now, she tried to kill him.
But the cold-hearted billionaire wanted to save her.
Could he?

Chapter: EpilogueAlfred raised his right hand, and all the members of the Allamino mafia emerged. Beckett did the same, and his men who were hiding in the trees and bushes earlier also came out.Seeing how the two leaders are determined to clash with each other, it only means one thing: this place will be in bloodshed soon.And indeed it happened. The people between Beckett and Alfred started fighting. Blood flowed, and many lives were lost. It was a long-time war between the two of them, and Beckett won.Now they are face to face. Alfred is sitting on the ground, his body full of wounds and bruises from Beckett's beating, while Beckett is standing. His gun is pointed at Alfred.“I know you want to kill me… But why can’t you fucking pull the trigger?” Alfred asked, grinning. “Has your fear of killing people returned?”“Hah.” Beckett clicked his tongue, annoyed.But he didn't answer the question. The reason he didn't shoot Alfred was because of Vivianne. She was still sitting in the grass, but the ropes

Chapter: Chapter 84 (Part 2)In Alfred's anger, he approached Vivianne with large strides before grabbing the collar of her clothes. "Take back what you said.""I'm not your father to obey you." Vivianne grinned, especially when she saw the rage intensifying in Alfred's eyes. "I never considered you a father because I don't have a demon for a father like you—"Vivianne didn't finish her sentence because Alfred suddenly let go of her collar and slapped her. Not just once, but three times.Vivianne smiled painfully. The happy family she had dreamed of... She would never have that. And she needed to accept the painful truth."You have no manners! After everything I've done for you, this is how you repay me? By fighting me and insulting me?!" Alfred's anger and shouts echoed throughout the entire office.Vivianne chuckled sarcastically. "I have no manners? And everything you did, you did for me? Why, did you even ask if I wanted to be in this situation?""You're ungrateful!"Alfred slapped her again, harder than befo

Chapter: Chapter 84 (Part 1)After that, they discussed their next plan all night. They agreed on one thing: they would rescue Ella from the hospital and inject her with the new medicine that Beckett had developed to wake her up.“I will distract Alfred and his men,” Beckett said, pointing to the right side of the footprint. “We will go here since Ella’s room is on the left side of the hospital. While we’re here, use the opportunity to escape with your mother.”“But that’s dangerous.” Vivianne shook her head. “Alfred might have prepared for this and could have you killed in the hospital. He can easily do that. Believe me.”“I believe you, but it doesn’t matter. What’s important for me right now is to save your mother and fulfill my promise to you…” Beckett kissed his wife’s forehead again. “So let’s do this… and see the end together.”THE NEXT DAY, it was time to execute the plan. Beckett was already in the parking lot, along with the men who would pose as doctors, nurses, and janitors if anything went wrong.He

Chapter: Chapter 83Alfred went to the hospital afterward to check on Ella's condition. He’s making sure Ella will be alive, but not enough to wake her up. He will only get her treated once Vivianne follows his demands. But it seems fate is not on his side now, because he was shocked to see Vivianne just coming out of Ella's room, holding a large suitcase. “What does this mean?” Alfred asked in a deep and angry tone. “You’re leaving your mother for that man?” “I just said goodbye to her earlier, and I’m sure she’ll understand me,” Vivianne replied. “How can she understand if she's already dead?” “She won’t die.” Vivianne gritted her teeth but forced herself to stay calm. This was not the time to argue with her father. She was already exhausted from everything that had happened. “I’m leaving.” Vivianne took a step forward, thinking her father would not speak again, but she was wrong. “I’m giving you one last chance to take back what you said. Go back to the mansion and break up with Beckett,” Alfre

Chapter: Chapter 82“TWENTY million dollars.”“Twenty million? Dollars? Are you out of your mind?!” Vivianne suddenly shouted when she realized what her husband intended to do. “No! That’s too much money! Just leave me here!”“Shut up, lady,” Raul said in a deep voice, frowning as he seemed annoyed by Vivianne's yelling in a language he didn’t understand.“Non maledire con mia moglie, Raul.” [Don’t curse at my wife.]Beckett didn’t like the way Raul reprimanded his wife, especially the tone of his voice. He glared at Raul but quickly calmed himself.“So, is this enough for you to buy guns from their organization?” Beckett asked, raising the diamond card. “You have collateral, and remember how I saved your ass when we were in elementary school?”Unbeknownst to everyone, Raul and Beckett were not just acquaintances. They were classmates back in the day, and when someone tried to beat up Raul because he didn’t know how to fight, Beckett saved him. They became best friends somehow after that, until they dec

Chapter: Chapter 81"Don't talk shit with me. I know you're the reason she's missing." Beckett approached Alfred, his eyes filled with rage. "Where did you take her?""I don't know. Which part of that don't you understand?" Alfred slammed the newspaper down beside him before meeting Beckett's angry gaze. "And don't forget that you're in my territory. I could blow your brains out right now."Beckett smirked. "If you really planned to do that, you should have done it already.""I'll do it later, once I have all your wealth."Hearing Alfred's words, Beckett couldn't help but laugh. His suspicions were correct—Alfred had ulterior motives for agreeing to his marriage with Vivianne and for pretending to be cordial with him."Keep dreaming," Beckett whispered, his jaw clenching. "I will find her, no matter how long it takes. Mark my words, Alfred Allamino."Beckett turned to leave the mansion, but stopped when Alfred spoke again."Even if you do find her, can you be sure she's still alive by then?"Beckett turn

Chapter: Chapter 9"ANO NGA 'yong pinag-usapan n'yo?" pangungulit sa akin ni Shainara habang nandito ako sa office at nagbabawas ng workload. I was so stressed doing my usual job, which makes me hate this job even though I really love it. Sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa babaeng ‘to. Hindi ko na nga siya sinasagot pero paulit-ulit pa rin ang pagtatanong niya sa ‘kin. "Magpalit na lang kaya tayo ng office?" nakataas ang kilay kong tanong sa kan'ya bago ko pinindot 'yong save button sa powerpoint presentation na katatapos ko lang gawin. Ipapa-approve ko 'to mamaya kay Kleinder bago ko i-report sa iba pang finance managers, at kasali na si Shainara roon. "Para namang ewan, eh! Kinakausap nang maayos." Tiningnan niya muna ako nang masama bago ito humalukipkip. Kung bakit kasi kailangan niya pang malaman na nagkausap kami ni Kleinder sa cafeteria ay hindi ko alam. 'Yan tuloy, wala siyang ibang ginawa kung hindi ang kulitin ako ngayon. Napailing na lang ako at napairap bago ko ipinagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko. Ka

Chapter: Chapter 8“I’ll break your heart after six months.” That's it. Iyon ang malamig kong wika kay Kleinder na mapayapang kumakain ngayon ng salad habang nakaupo sa isa sa mga lamesa rito sa cafeteria. Wala nang pakiyeme pa o kaya naman ay pagpapatagal ng usapan. Noong hinahanap ko pa lang siya kanina ay iyon na talaga ang nasa isip ko. I wanted to break his heart like what he did to my best friend. Napaismid ako dahil muntik na niyang mabuga ang kinakain niya dahil sa sinabi ko, pero sa ginawa niya kay Shanaiah ay wala man lang siyang reaksyon. Nakakakain siya nang maayos sa kabila ng mga pinaggagagawa niya. Wala ba siyang konsensiya? Ah, wala nga pala siya noon, dahil kung mayroon siyang konsensiya ay hindi niya uugaliing magpaiyak ng maraming babae at paglaruan ang mga ito na para bang naglalaro lang siya ng barbie dolls sa kanto. “Sorry,” ibinaba niya ang plato niya sa lamesa at pinunasan ang bibig niya saglit dahil sa biglaang pag-upo ko sa harapan niya, “ano ulit iyon?

Chapter: Chapter 7TODAY WAS a gloomy day, unlike the past few days kung saan ay kulang na lang masunog ang buong balat ko dahil sa init. Pagkagising ko pa lang sa umaga ay sobrang dilim na kaagad ng kalangitan. It seems like it will rain anytime by now, pero ngayon kahit na hapon na ay hindi pa rin bumubuhos ang ulan. Kamuntikan pa tuloy akong ma-late sa trabaho ko ngayon dahil akala ko ay gabi pa rin, pero mabuti na lang at nakita ko 'yong orasan sa side table ko. Napamura na lang talaga ako no'n habang nagmamadali akong nagp-prepare para sa pagpasok. Mahigpit pa naman ang kumpanya sa oras. "Coffee, ma'am?" wika sa akin ni Janice na kapapasok lang sa loob ng office ko dala-dala ang instant coffee. Hindi ko 'yon inutos sa kan'ya, pero sa tingin ko ay napansin niya na hindi pa ako kumakain kanina pa kaya siya na ang magkusa na dalhan ako ng kape ngayon.

Sobrang layo nito mula sa kumpanya namin pero kahit na ganoon ay nag-drive ako nang malayo para lang makapunta rito.I can't wait until tomorrow, and I couldn't give her an earful through the phone. I wasn't even the type of person who'll go and barge into someone's house without the owner knowing it, pero sa ngayon ay hindi ko na talaga napigilan ang sarili ko at talagang nag-effort ako magpunta rito sa unit niya para lang sermunan siya."Shainara?" I called her as I clicked on the doorbell for I don't know how many times already. "Open the door, you dimwit," I said as I was trying to maintain my composure. Ayoko namang mahila ng mga security guard dito dahil lang sa nag-eeskandalo ako rito sa harap ng unit niya. Hindi ko magagawa ang goal kong sermunan siya hanggang sa mapaos ako kung ganoon.Pagkatapos ng iilan pang doorbell at ng paulit-ulit ko rin na pag-call sa kan'ya rito sa phone, sa wakas ay bum

Chapter: Chapter 5"NAPAKAKUPAL talaga," wika ko kay Shainara na kasama ko sa cafeteria ngayon habang umiinom ng iced coffee. Free time kasi namin ngayon dahil wala naman masyadong nagpupuntang kliyente at wala ring urgent tasks na kailangang gawin.Kailangan naming sulitin ang mga oras na 'to dahil minsan lang 'to mangyari. Once in a blue moon, ika nga nila.Hindi naman halata na paborito ko ang iced coffee, ano? Kahit na sobrang inconvenient sa oras ko ang magpunta roon sa coffee shop na binibilhan ko nito para lang makabili nito, wala akong pakialam. My mental health is more important than anything else.However, I wasn't the one who bought this iced coffee. Libre ito ni Shainara sa akin dahil daw sobrang stressed na ako sa trabaho at nahahalata na raw iyon sa mukha ko. She even told me na nagsisimula nang maging visible ang eyebags ko kahit na takpan ko pa ito ng concealer.And she was right, at kasalanan ito lahat ni Kleinder.

"On it, ma'am!" she said as she pointed to the empty table, gesturing me to sit while waiting for the coffee I ordered. Tinuturo niya 'yong upuan malapit doon sa glass wall. Maganda kasi ang view doon. Kitang-kita ang view sa loob at sa labas ng coffee shop. Napahinga na lang ako nang malalim bago ako umupo sa isa sa mga table rito sa coffee shop. Sa sobrang busy sa Hornbrown Investments ngayon ay hindi ko na rin magawa kahit ang pagbili ng iced coffee ko rito. I love my job and hate it at the same time. It makes me stressed, yet I love the one how I can help people to be financially literate because of my job. Isa pa ay malaki ang sahod dito. Let's be practical. Masarap magtrabaho kapag malaki ang suweldo. Bukod sa iced coffee, ang sahod ko lang ang bumubuhay sa pagod kong diwa, lalo na kapag sobrang daming workload. Just like no
