Hendrix's thick furrowed eyebrows became permanent as he buried his face on paper works. His workaholic self just couldn't help finishing them all before he went home. “Sir, it's past nine already,” Tom, his secretary, stated. “You can go home now,” he responded without lifting his head. Tom looked hesitant as he stared at his boss who was busy signing the documents. He could leave just as he told him to, but he knew his future would be at risk if he did not drag his boss out of his office. Standing there, he took a deep breath and was prepared to say the magic word when all of a sudden, a loud ring erupted in the whole office. Hendrix stopped whatever he was doing and scowled at his mobile phone resting on the corner of his desk. His face was dark as though he was displeased that he's got interrupted with his work. “Let me see, you're still in the office, am I right?” the caller said without any greetings. Hendrix didn't need to ask who was on the other line. His annoyin

The manor was very busy as everyone seemed to be panicking as the time was running. But Margaux seemed oblivious as she was busy staring at herself in a huge mirror. Her heart was thumping hard. ‘This is it,” she told herself internally. The white beautiful wedding dress that was full of tiny diamonds was sparkling, almost blinding her eyes. Her hair was tied up in a very neat bun with some hair strands curled beautifully decorating her small face. While her makeup was just light, almost bare showing her natural beauty that made everyone in the room bewitched as they all looked at her. “Miss Margaux, it’s time to walk down the aisle,” the organizer announced. Margaux glanced over herself one more time before leaving the room. The organizer gave her the beautifully arranged white bouquet with a huge grin.“Mr Mondragon is so lucky,” she muttered with pure admiration. She did not respond and just gave her a small smile. Her stomach was churning as her chest was about to explode. S

Margaux crossed her arms as she leaned on the back rest of the sofa, staring at the woman in front of her. She woke up alone and everyone in the manor was nowhere to be found aside for Liana who was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room while having a cup of tea as she descended the stairs. “Babe,” Liana flashed a small smile. Her eyebrows raised as she had no idea what her cousin was doing in their manor. As far as she could remember, she was left in the Philippines so she thought she would stay there and will never have the guts to show her face again out of remorse. ‘I forgot that she’s shameless,’ she thought and rolled her eyes. “I know you never wish to see me again,” Liana muttered. “You know but you still show up here,” she replied sarcastically. The princess let out a sigh then shook her head. Seeing that, Margaux thought she was going to retort a sarcastic remark and grin mockingly at her like she always does before. However, she’d seen none of it, rather

“I want to give her a grand wedding in front of all of you, her family and friends,” Hendrix added. He was looking straight to Don Geronimo as he said those words with a very serious face. However, the corner of his lips lifted upon seeing Margaux’s reaction in his peripheral vision. “You’re already married,” Don Geronimo stated. Hendrix's lips pursed as he brought his attention back to the old man. “But it didn't feel right. I married her as Margaux Hermani and I want to correct that“ “Hendrix..” Margaux muttered. He finally looked at her direction and saw her flustered face and teary eyes. She probably didn't expect that and had a doubt about his plan. Stepping forward, he cupped her face and stared into her blue eyes. “I want to make this right,” he muttered. Then he put down his hands and shoved one onto the pocket of his jeans whilst slowly kneeling down in front of her. A loud gasp came from Margaux as he pulled out the velvet box and revealed a huge diamond ring.

“You're blooming,” Daisy smirked as soon as they entered the dining room. Margaux’s face turned hot in an instant. She then threw her cousin a sharp glare on which the latter just laughed it off. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just stating a fact,” Daisy said and gave her a malicious grin. She rolled her eyes and did not say anything. Instead, she took her seat and looked around the table to see that they were complete except her parents, who were probably still in the hospital. “You should take the seat next to your wife,” she heard her uncle say. Her eyebrows raised as the only vacant seat next to her was his father's chair. “I don't think that's right,” Hendrix muttered as he stood still behind her chair. “Just take that seat and eat. It's just a chair,” her uncle Daniel insisted. Knowing that her husband won't do it for his respect for her father, she let out a sigh before glancing over her shoulder. “You can take that chair. No one will mind,”

“Are you tired?” Hendrix queried as they cuddled under the blanket. ‘I am exhausted!’ Margaux’s mind screamed internally. Her face was burning and kept her eyes closed recalling what they had just done. It was not the first time anymore but it still felt new to her. Moreso, the experience was entirely different from the first one as she thought Hendrix didn't strain himself anymore which made her whole body sore. She felt his soft lips touch her forehead and a soft whisper of ‘I love you’ tingles her left ear. He then tightened his hold on her and pressed her body to his even more as if he was afraid to have even a tiniest gap between them. “Love..” he murmured. Curiously, Margaux slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. But before she could say something, Hendrix quickly leaned in closer and claimed her lips. Gasping, she opened her eyes and reluctantly pushed him away. “I can't do it anymore,” she mumbled. She averted her gaze as her face became hotter. She had no qualms

“Single ka na ulit,” komento ni Melissa pagkasabi ko ng balita na na-grant na yung annulment. Inirapan ko siya. “Lubusin mo na yan, kasi for sure ilang araw lang taken ka na ulit,” she giggled.Napailing na lang ako sa sinabi niya.Seriously, this girl. She doesn't really take our annulment seriously. Nung unang nalaman niya na nag file ng petition for annulment si Great, halos maghysterical siya. Pero kinabukasan, biglang parang naging okay lang sa kanya at hindi na big deal. She even laughed at me when I cried to her while admitting that I didn't want our marriage to end before. I sighed. Tumingin na lang ako sa stage, kung saan nagsasalita ang speaker. Today is our graduation day. At syempre magkatabi pa rin kami ni Melissa sa upuan dahil magkasunod lang ang apelyido namin. Hindi ko na pinansin pa si Melissa hanggang sa matapos ang ceremony, kasi, wala naman akong mapapala sa mga pinagsasabi niya. Nang natapos na sa wakas ang graduation ceremony namin, umalis na rin agad k

Biglang bumagsak ang mga luha ko. I was never this sensitive before but this feels so different. Parang sobrang sakit kahit wala namang sinabi na masakit na salita si Great. Matagal bago ako nakalabas ng bakuran nila at bumalik sa sasakyan namin. Nag-alala pa nga yung driver namin dahil mugto ang mga mata ko nang sumakay ako sa loob. Tahimik akong umiyak sa byahe hanggang sa makabalik kami sa bahay nila Mommy. Fortunately, walang tao kaya dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko. I cried myself out until I fell asleep. Madaling araw na nang nagising ako, at dahil yun sa walang tigil na pagring ng cellphone ko. Si Brittany. I became hesitant to answer though. Dahil alam kong magtatanong siya kung anong nangyari. I'm not in the mood and I don't think I can even talk about it now. Kaya sa huli, hindi ko na lang sinagot yung tawag at hinayaan na lang magring hanggang sa tumigil ito. Sinubukan kong matulog ulit nang tumahimik sa buong kwarto ko since madaling araw pa lang, but to no avail. Buhay na

Agad na nakasalubong ang mga kilay ko nang madatnan kong walang tao sa bahay namin. Nilibot ko na ang buong bahay kat sa lahat ng sulok, pero walang bakas na kahit ano, halatang ilang araw na walang tao. “Nasaan ka ba?” I sighed in frustration. Bakit kasi nagwalk out siya kanina? At bakit kasi napako ang mga paa ko at hindi ko siya hinabol?! Ngayon, saan ko siya hahanapin?! I know nothing about him except sa moody siya pero sweet at super sarap magluto. Naupo ako sa sofa. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Great's number again. But just like my first attempt, it still cannot be reached. Bumuga ako ng malakas na hangin saka nag-isip kung saan siya pwedeng pumunta. Seriously, I've never been this bothered before. Kahit nung time na sinubukan kong maglayas at nagalit sila Mommy, hindi naman ako nakaramdam ng ganito. Nakaramdam lang ako ng guilt noon pero hindi naman ako nagpanic, katulad na lang ngayon. Bapatayo agad ako nang maalala ko yung bahay nila na pinagdalhan sakin ni Gre

Gusto kong maiyak habang pinapanood ko siyang naglalakad palabas ng bahay. I wanted to run to him and stop him from leaving, kaya lang, parang napako na ang mga paa ko sa sahig at hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. “He's jealous,” biglang sinabi ni Marc habang pinupunasan yung labi niyang dumudugo. I would've been worried about him if only he's not the one who started it. Sino ba kasing may sabi na pwede niya akong halikan?! Pumikit ako nang mariin para pigilan ang sarili ko na masampal siya. Hindi ako nananampal pero dahil sa mga ginawa niya, nasagad na niya ang pasensya ko. “Umalis ka na,” I said warningly. Gulat na gulat siyang tumitig sakin. I just glared at him in return. “Honey, let me explain”“Ano pang i-eexplain mo? Plano mo yun di ba? You probably saw him outside kaya bigla kang bumalik at hinalikan ako! You even provoke him! Para ano? Para galitin siya at iwan ako?!” I gritted me teeth. “No. I just want to--” I shook my head and looked at him disdainfully, “Um

I know I was too harsh on him for that, pero sobra na kasi siya. Some people need to be slapped by harsh truth to get out of their delusions and accept the reality of life. And seriously, Marc is one of them. He doesn't want me to tell it to his face became he knew I'm going to reject him, so he sorted to badmouth Great. For what? Did he really think I will be sway that easy? E, simula pa lang naman, alam ko nang masama ang ugali niya at ineexpect ko na talaga na maraming humahabol sa kanya. I admit it, tinamaan ako unang sinabi niya na Great doesn't love me. But . . . Hindi ako manhid. I saw the drastic changes in him over the few months we lived together. At siguro naman, hindi niya sasabihin na gusto niyang mag workout ang relasyon namin kung wala talaga siyang feelings sakin? I tried not to give any meaning about it before, but now that I think about it, I can safely assume that he somehow cares for me and that's already enough. . . I guess. Napabuga ako ng malakas na hangin h

That's the question lingering in my head as I stared at Lolo in bewilderment.Ano bang nasa isip ni Lolo? Why is he suddenly deciding about my life again without even consulting me?“You two will get annulment as soon as possible,” answered Lolo rather quickly.Agad na nagprotesta ang puso ko dahil sa sinabi ni Lolo, habang ang buong sistema ko nagwawala naman dahil tutol rin sila dito. Hindi ba muna siya magtatanong kung gusto ko ba na hiwalayan si Great? I'm already married with him for a few months now and I'm already embracing my marriage life. Nakapag-adjust na ako tapos biglang ganito?! “I'm sorry if I made a rash decision before. I shouldn't have done that. This is for you apo. I want to make you happy..” ani Lolo.I pursed my lips as I felt like someone was crashing my heart. Hindi ba niya narealize na he's basically doing the same thing now? Magsasalita na sana ako para sabihin yun pero naunahan ako ni Marc. “I think we should give her more time to process it, Sir..” sabi

My body froze and my insides started shaking. I felt so weak all of a sudden as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I cannot believe that I did it with someone else. Lorenzo was the only one who I allowed to be that intimate with me. How could I just let someone, worse, a freaking stranger , sleep with me?!I let out an exasperated sigh. Grunting, I pulled her hair and shut my eyes. I feel so dirty! How can I face Lorenzo now that I am worse than him? I was not guilty back then when I was making out with a different person than him because I know my limits. I was not like him who slept with any of them. I stayed in my room and did not go out or even order something to feel my stomach. I just laid on the bed the whole morning until I heard the doorbell ring. My chest thumped wildly and I stiffened thinking that it could possibly be Lorenzo, knowing that she didn’t get room service. However, there was also another person that was possible to visit, Damien. I shook her head pro

I clutched my chest as I felt something pull my heartstrings. It surpassed my heated desire and instantly made my eyes teary. “Can we talk about it next time? I'm busy,” said Lorenzo then turned to me. Our eyes met but I quickly averted my gaze and ran to my suite. “Brianna! Don't run!” I heard him scream. I just ignored him and fastened my pace even more. However, he was obviously faster as he immediately caught me and snaked his arm around my waist. “Are you crying?” he whispered to my ears. My eyes stung and I squinted it to cease the tears from flowing down. My blood boiled as I felt so betrayed. “You want to fvck her instead of me?!” I spat furiously.“What?” I glared at him. “The way you look at her seems like you want to devour her whole! Who's that girl? Does she taste better than me?!” I bursted out. “What are you–” I squirmed and tried to pull his hands off me. “Let go! I'll just look for Damien and ask him to have sex–” “Brianna!” his voice thundered. Lorenzo's

“Brianna!” Lorenzo stopped kissing me there and I immediately felt frustrated from keeping me hanging. I feel so hot and he only intensified it only to leave me in the air!I groaned in protest and tried to reach his hand. However, he suddenly pulled me up and started wearing my pants back to me. “What are you doing? We're just starting,” I frowned and wiggled my legs. But he held my legs firmly as he took my pants back properly. “Stay still. We'll go back to your room,” he replied. “Room? Okay!” I chuckled then snaked my hands around his neck and tried to kiss him But my kiss landed on his ears as he suddenly averted his face. “C'mon, kiss me..” I coaxed and tried to chase his lips again. I pouted when he kept avoiding my kisses. But that immediately replaced by a wide grin the moment my body lifted and I felt him carry me out of the bar. I wiggled again after realizing I was not wearing my panties. The rough texture of my jeans was scratching against my sensitive skin do

I got chills at the stare he was giving me. Suddenly, I had a very bad feeling about it, but thinking of Lorenzo bringing another woman to his suite gave a bitter taste to my tongue. I drew a heavy breath before I slowly nodded, “Where is it?” I asked, not directly answering his question. I don't really trust him, but his status as the CEO was very useful for me at this moment. Damien grinned and quickly snaked his free hand round my waist. My brows knitted together but I had no choice and just let that filthy hand be until we reached the bar area of the hotel. “This opens at nine in the evening. Feel free to order anything, I'll be your bartender,” he winked. I faked a smile and looked around. The place was dimmed and only the lights from the bar counter were lit. “What can you suggest?” I queried. Since I'm not really fond of alcoholic drinks, I don't know much about strong drinks that can make me drunk in an instant. “I'm not that familiar with alcohol, so, please recommend

“I-im s-sorry!” said the woman.My brows furrowed upon seeing her. I remembered she was the same woman in the elevator last night. Folding my hands, I watched as Lorenzo helped her stand up because she ‘accidentally’ fell on the ground. “Sorry..” Lorenzo muttered. I grinned bitterly as I watched the woman blushed in an instant. She kept on apologizing and said that she will order us another coffee since it spilled on the ground. “No, it's fine. I'll just buy again” “Please..”As they fought over buying coffee, my eyes landed on her hands holding tightly on Lorenzo's forearms. My eyebrows twitched as my gaze went back at her face and saw her looking up at him with pleading eyes. How pitiful. “Miss Grace!” The female staff ran to the woman with a big smile, “You're early today. Fortunately, Sir Lorenzo is still here!” she chortled. The woman lowered her head as her face turned crimson red. I rolled my eyes as I realized they were just wasting my time. I was about to leave but my

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and was never shocked to see my puffy eyes. I cried the whole night. Regretting my hasty action, I cried for the loss of the last memorabilia of our love that's left on me. Never did I imagine I would grieve for some small thing that is usually just as insignificant for other people. But that's not the case for me. The folder that contains our pictures, however, was important to me. It was more like a treasure that I had been keeping for eight years and has a very sentimental value for me. It was the memory of my youth, of my happy days. Moreso, it was the only thing that reminded me that once upon a time, Lorenzo was in love with me.I sighed. It's a waste of time and energy to cry over the things that's already lost. Maybe it happened so that I can move on completely. I took a quick shower and went out to get some coffee and unwind. I put on light makeup and wore huge sunglasses to cover my puffy eyes. And just as I was about to open the

SPECIAL CHAPTERSebastian narrowed his eyes at the smiling face of Sandra. He couldn't believe her! “He even told me he loves me!” she continued cheerfully, not minding the fact that her husband's already flaming in anger with her story. Who wouldn't anyway? This wife's admirers didn't decrease even after their marriage and have four kids. She's already in her forties, yet men out there of any age continued fantasizing over her! Some even had the audacity to confess just like what she's telling him right at the moment, and it's making him really furious! “Of course I told him I wouldn't replace you with anyone else. Phoenix is the only one in this world,” she giggled. And just like that, like his old self who never fails to melt everytime she says the right words, he smiled widely, showing his gummy and pearly white teeth. Ah, he's still and will always be head over heels for her even after years of being together. “I really want to think about kissing you hard on national televis

“Before we start, I would like to thank you first for trusting us for this exclusive interview again, Sandra,” the host stated.Sandra flashed a smile, “Of course, this is my favorite show”“Really?” She nodded, “And I kinda owe you, too..”The host seemed surprised and she couldn't help but gaped at her. Meanwhile, Sandra chuckled as she watched the host looking at her, suddenly confused.“I found my love because of you,” she continued.Everyone, from the audience to the staff squealed at her words. Even the host herself couldn't hide her giddiness despite the confusion still registered on her face. However, someone from the side didn't look pleased and rather seemed pissed off over something no one could figure out why. “How?” the host asked excitedly.Sandra glanced on the side where Sebastian was silently standing. She then giggled at the sight of her husband looking very pissed off.“You interviewed him after my confession”“Oh.. so, you were watching back then?” “I told you,

Shocked, confused, lost were all be seen in everyone's faces after that speech from Sandra Mendez. Their cameras even zoomed in on the piece of paper she was holding, then almost instantly, disbelief and bewilderment were then painted as their expression. “Sebastian Lee?” one queried, puzzled of who it was. Others gasped loudly upon hearing his name and those who were standing near the guy turned their heads on him and gave him an incredulous look. “He's Phoenix right?! His real name is Sebastian Lee!” another shouted. Sebastian felt nervous at the sudden attention he unexpectedly was receiving. His determination to go up on stage had instantly deteriorated when everyone was talking about him with full anticipation.“He's here!” another pointed the direction where Sebastian was.Fortunately, before anyone from the reporters and journalists could move, Sandra immediately caught their attention back on her once again. “I just like to clarify things," she said. She wasn't looking

Sebastian felt like he's got flashed by the bucket of ice cold water on the head right at the moment he heard that utterly familiar voice. His heartbeat skipped its beat as his knees went jelly, making him suddenly kneeled down on the floor weakly. He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste. Sebastian was about to ask why, but the call quickly ended, leaving him puzzled and annoyed. He stared at his phone with brows connected together and thought whether to go there or not. But since he was in denial that it was Sandra who apologized to him over the phone, he quickly

News about the royal couple being married broke down and spread out so quickly, right after Jay Kim showed the marriage certificate on national television. Their fans celebrated like there was no tomorrow while some showed their dismay as they did like Phoenix more for their princess. Flashnews about them kept on coming here and there and nonstop articles were posted on the internet because the media were the first to celebrate the great news. Sandra sighed as she looked at Sebastian apologetically for she knew it was already exhausting for her husband to have never ending rumors about her. They were now in Sebastian's apartment, particularly in his room. Since Sandra was the hottest topic, they both decided to not go home to her mansion because they were certain that there's a lot of reporters waiting for her there for an exclusive interview. “Aren't you tired?” she queried as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Sebastian shook his head and kissed his wife's forehead

“Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea
