Billionaire's Haven I: Sin After Sin
Marizell Socorro Acevedo found refuge in bed with Teo, her fuckbuddy. Being with Teo between the sheets was a way for Marizell to cope with her father’s death. Naniniwala siya na hindi aksidente and pagkamatay ng kan’yang ama ngunit wala siyang ebidensiya na mapatunayan ‘yon. Kahit na dumaan ang dalawang taon kakahanap ng ebidensiya, wala siyang napapala. In the morning, she would tire herself looking for leads and at night, she would get comfortable with Teo. But despite the kiss and touches she’d exchange with Teo, she didn’t feel anything.
Marizell already lost hope until they finally found a strong lead. Desperate for her father’s justice, she had let go of her relationship with Teo. It was just the sex she’s after so it wasn’t hard for her to let go. Handa na si Marizell para makamit ang hustisiya pero nang malaman na isang makapangyarihang pamilya ang nasa likod ng pagkamatay ng kan’yang ama, imposibleng makakamit niya ang hustisiya. The powerful and vicious Valleros were behind her father’s death. She knew too well that it’s impossible, they’d kill her before she could even file a case.
But she doesn’t lose her hope, if she can’t get justice, then she has to get her revenge. She’s thirsty for justice but she never imagines she could be thirsty for revenge too. Everything was in alignment with her plan when she received a proposal from the Valleros. An arranged marriage with one of their heirs. In a blink, Marizell knew what she needs to do. Keeping her enemies closer would be easier for her to destroy them. She was ready until she met Teo again. But this time, he wasn’t her fuck buddy anymore. He’s Mateo Vallero, the ruthless of them all. And the worst, he’s her fiancé’s brother.
Now, she’s confused and dumbfounded. Her plans crumbled every time she’d feel his touch. Now, she doesn’t know what she wants. Would it be revenge or him despite committing sin after sin with him?

Chapter: Chapter 21Heaven in HellBinaba ko ang monitor nang marinig ang pagpasok ni Gracy sa aking office. She saw the monitor on my table. Napataas ang kilay nito. “Still watching the Valleros?” I’ve been monitoring the Valleros for a few days now and so far, wala naman akong suspicious moves na napapansin. Thanks to the painting I placed there. Tinanggal ko nalang ang earphones bago sinagot si Gracy. “None.”“I know we have concrete evidences that they are involved with Tito’s death pero paano kung si Mateo lang talaga ang may pakana?” Hindi ko iyon kailan man naisip. Maybe my mind refuses to think that Teo is the only one involved. I sighed heavily. Binalik ko nalang ang mata sa aking laptop at sinimulan ang trabaho. “Sa tingin mo, inosente ang mga Vallero? Sa tingin mo wala silang nagawang mali?” “I’m just saying na huwag sana mapuno ng galit at hinanakit ang puso mo. Lately, you’ve been very different.” “I’ll have my revenge and that’s it, Gracy.” “That’s it? Paano si Mateo?” Napataas ang

Chapter: Chapter 20UseHindi ko alam kung saan ko nakakuha ang lakas na loob para pagsabayin si Teo at Hunyo. Is it the right thing to do now? Obviously, no. Do I care if ever they get hurt? No. I was raised with different pirniciples and morals. So different from what I am doing right now. I feel guilty committing to do this. But at the same time, I need to do my revenge. I need to be tough. Walang lugar ang pagiging mabait dito. “They killed your father, Zell,” paalala ko sa aking sarili. Iyon palagi ang hinahawakan ko. Kahit nakikita ko lang si Teo, bigla iyon nawawala sa aking isipan. I can’t fathom why a single man could make me forget about my revenge. I sighed heavily as I went inside my room. Umuwi na ako ng La Libertad. Manila was suffacting after my heated conversation with Teo. Pagod akong humiga sa aking kama. Somehow, his touc last night got imprinted in my mind. Unlike before, bawat haplos at halik niya kagabi hindi mawala sa isipan ko. I just snapped back to reality when I heard the

Chapter: Chapter 19High Road A voice at the back of my mind told me that I shouldn’t have turned in this direction. But there was also a different voice. A louder one. Mas malakas. Nagsasabi ito na puntahan siya. Na bumigay na. Dahil sa huli, hindi ko rin mapipigilan. Bumangon ako galing sa pagkahiga. I bit my lower lip. Napalingon ako sa bintana. The curtains are slowly revealing the view on the outside as the wind blew harder. The cold breeze of the wind touched my bare skin. I glanced at my shoulder. Then down to my back and then to the sheets covering me. At paunti-unting bumababa ang mata ko sa kan’ya. I looked at Teo. Mahimbing itong natutulog. I yawned and stood up. Umalis na ako sa kama at kinuha na isa-isa ang damit ko na nakakalat sa sahig. I looked for my panties and I couldn’t find it. I looked at every corner pero wala talaga. Hindi ko nalang hinanap pa. I went inside the bathroom and took a bath. Cold bath for the morning. Gustong gusto kong buhusan ang sarili ng malamig na tubig. Hind

Chapter: Chapter 18Ruined “W-what do you mean?” napatawa ako sa sinabi niya. I nervously laugh. Alam ko sa loob-loob, nagustuhan ko ang sinabi niya. Pero… it made me alarmed. He would let go of our engagement that easily. Kailangan ko siya para sa mga plano ko. Para sa paghihiganti. But hearing him, mukhang hindi ko pa secured ang engagement. One thing is sure, he has a deep reason. Hindi ko pa alam pero malalaman ko rin. “I’m fine with you choosing Mateo.” “Why?” His lips rose to a small smile. My eyes narrowed, now focusing on him. He had this regretful small for a while until it vanished. “I know how it feels to want someone but can’t have them.” My jaw dropped slightly. Iyon ang rason niya. Does that mean, he likes someone? He looked away from me when he noticed me observing him. “Pero ayaw ko rin naman sa taong hindi ko gusto,” pertaining to Teo. Napaisip pa ako kung tama ba ang sinabi ko. I swallowed the lump on my throat. He chuckled and looked down. Parehong nasa bulsa na ang dalawang k

Chapter: Chapter 17ProposalChapter 17Kumunot ang noo ni Teo nang makita ang gulat kong mukha. I surveyed the office, looking for a space where I can hide.“Hunyo’s here,” sabi ko at papunta na sa isang corner ng kan’yang opisina para sana magtago.Ngunit naramdaman ko nalang ang paghigit ng kamay niya sa akin. He looked confused why I’m acting this way. Ako naman, hindi magets kung bakit parang kalmado lang siya.He should panic because we’re alone together in a room! Pero naalala ko, he really doesn’t care about me.“And? Why do you look flustered?”Napanganga ako.“Ano sa tingin mo ang iisipin niya na tayo lang dalawa dito? Did you plan this?” I accused him.“What? No! You’re the one putting malice in our meeting, Zell.”Napasinghap ako. Somehow, nagets ko ang sinabi niya. I am putting malice to our situation. And how sure am I na masamain ni Hunyo ang pagbisita ko dito kung wala naman talaga kaming ginawang kababalghan?I am overthinking this. And why do I feel like a cheating wife? I sighed heavil

Chapter: Chapter 16BeginI slowly adjusted my earrings as I finished my make-up. Napatingin ako sa aking maliit na mukha. Nanginit ang pisngi ko nang mapagtanto kung ano ang ginagawa.Nang marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pintuan ng aking office, agad kong niligpit ang aking make-up. Pumasok si Gracy at tinignan akong mabilis na nagligpit ng gamit.“May lakad ka ba mamaya?” nagtataka nitong tanong.I pouted.“Just a meeting.”“Emergency meeting? Wala sa schedule mo, ah?”Nagkibit-balikat lang ako at inayos din ang buhok. Gracy gave me a wary look. Napataas ang kilay nito at mukhang hinuhula pa ang ginagawa ko.“May date na naman kayo ni Hunyo? Why do you look so dolled up?”I bit my lower lip. Halata ba? I sighed and sat back in my swivel chair. Tiningnan ko ang wrist watch. Goodness! I’m two hours early para sa meeting namin ni Teo! I must be crazy!“Is my make-up too much?”Tumawa ito at umupo sa harapan ko.“You have a full eyeshadow on! You usually settle for natural make-up when it comes to office work.

Chapter: Chapter 21Last KissesChapter 21I looked down at my hand, intertwined with Lane’s. My eyes stared at it for longer than I could realize. My mind is still digesting everything. I bit my lip as my gaze rose to Lane’s side. He looks happy, but the veins popping out of his head were evident for me to say that he’s been stressed. I still have no idea where he is taking me. I followed him as he guided me. A smile made way on my lips. I’m his Luna. His mate.I know I came here for his death… But… I am now taking a leap of faith. Now, I want every piece of him. I want him for myself. I can’t believe that he actually chose me. We’re now back at the headquarters. We stopped in front of a big oak door. He slowly opened it. My eyes glistened at what I saw. Inside the room revealed a glowing garden. Flowers were shimmering despite daylight. I moved closer to a red rose glowing in gold. I touched its petals as my fingers travelled down to its thorns.“Careful, the thorns sting,” I heard him whisper on m

Chapter: Chapter 20YoursMy fingers traced every petal on the bathtub I’m in. It’s been an hour since my body is soaked on milk. The petals are turning pale, especially with the milk it floated on. I rested my head and noticed Jillian poured more milk on my hair. Jillian, Maurice, and Rimel surrounded me. They have assisted me with anything that I have been doing since the past three days. I don’t know if I should be thankful or annoyed. Surely. I had a ton of maids at the manor, but we all had privacy. This seems… I looked at Maurice, scrubbing my legs. Rimel is busy with preparing my clothes. Jillian poured more milk on me. I sighed heavily. “Is there something wrong, my Lady?” Maurice paused and asked. I pulled my leg from her and took the towel myself. I immediately sensed their urgency in helping me.“I think I’m finished with my bath.”I hurriedly went out of the bathtub, but they were fast, too. Before I could pick up clothes, Rimel already had it in her hands. She’s the older one among the

Chapter: Chapter 19As One“Lane, what are you doing here? You should be resting in your chambers,” Ashmita’s voice was shaking in fear.“What you are doing is treason!” I snapped back from my thoughts when I heard Lane’s voice thunder in the room. My eyes looked up at Ashmita’s helpless composure. Then my gaze traveled to Lane just behind Ashmita. All I could see was half his face. But even just half of it, I could feel the rage burning in his eyes. I gripped tightly on my chair as I thought of a way to escape, but I was hopeless too. “What do you mean? She harmed you! It is treason to kill the Alpha!” “And killing the Luna isn’t?” Silence invaded darkness and every corner of the room. It finally processed in my mind that Lane performed the ritual without my knowledge. But why would he? Why would he give me his essence while he sucked for my blood? I looked down on my wrist. There wasn’t any evident mark, but realization sunk into me when I saw the unhealed wound. I might be a witch without any po

Chapter: Chapter 18Survived Are my eyes closed? Everything was pitch black, I might think my eyes are closed. Silence stretched from every corner. I could hearmy sweat falling from my forehead down to the cold floor. My hard breathing was too evident. And no matter which direction my head would look, there was nothing but darkness. I can’t even sense anyone in the same room as me. But despite all the darkness invading me right now, only one person would stay in my mind. Lane…He must be alright. Now that he’s in better hands. My sigh echoed through the walls as relief poured through me. But my relief only lived for a while when I heard the creak of a door that seemed to be in front of me. My eyes closed abruptly when light killed darkness. And when the lights were turned on, the more my face squinted from the sudden light I had to absorb.My eyes slowly adjusted to the light. I blinked a couple times before I settled my gaze at the woman in front of me. The corners of her lips curved evilly. She de

Chapter: Chapter 17Love The royal blue color of the waters was painted with blood as I searched for Lane. I saw my pruned fingers but never minded it. My mind only spiraled looking around for Lane. I can never find peace if I can’t find him. I worked hard being on top of my game as a Warrior Witch in our organization. It only proved that I don’t need powers to be the best of the rest. But there will be days. Inevitable days where I feel the need to have powers.Where I curse the heavens for not blessing me one. What sin did I commit? What law did my family disobey for me and my sisters to suffer this fate?! When I almost slipped away from the hope I was holding on to, I finally saw Lane. He was wrapped around the seaweed. I swam as fast as I could. When my hand touched his cold palm, I hugged him tight like it could be our last. I pulled the pocket knife from one of my pockets as I free Lane from every hold the seaweed had of him. I felt myself losing air, but just in time, I was able to rise to the

Chapter: Chapter 16 (Part 2)ShotGunshots echoed inside the mall. Amara chanted a spell and in a minute a bubble surrounded us, protecting us from the bullets. It made me thought of myself. If only I was an ordinary Witch. "We need to move fast. My spell won't last long." We ran like our life meant on it. Well, it does. We were about to exit the mall when an explosion happened at the exit. Debris fell, blocking the way outside. Amara and I looked at each other. We have the same thoughts in our mind but..."They're too many!" She shook her head. We ran to a safer place as she casted a spell. I saw her release small bubbles, in the shape of a bullet. When I saw her loading it to her gun, I immediatley know what her powers were. "You're a shield." She gave me her bubbles. I did the same thing, loaded it to my guns. "What am I supposed to do with this bubbles?" "It will shield them from us. If they shoot, the bullets will come back for them." The idea made me excited. The bullets are slowly getting in our di
