Chapter: #30“Do you still love your first love... I mean that Irish Esquivel? Or have you moved on already?” I carefully asked him. Darn it! This is it! I’ve been dying to ask him a question related to his first-ever love! This is one of the things that make me so anxious. I know I should not be bothered by it given that we’re only doing this whole thing for business but part of me wants to be sure that he already moved on. It’s sort of difficult to be with someone who still has feelings toward another woman. That would be a headache for sure! “Why do you ask? Have you not figured it out when you did some background check on me?” he said jokingly and then he laughed heartily. Oh, this is new... Evan Zendejas is laughing his heart out in front of me. I bit my lower lip to suppress the smile trying to escape my lips. It feels good to see him laughing like this, though. And I like it when he’s like this, kind of loosened up to everything. “My informant can’t find anything that would confi

Chapter: #29I sighed in relief when we arrived at the top of the hill where the Tayid lighthouse is located. My lips parted when as soon as I saw the beautiful view of the blue sea from where I am standing. A smile escaped my lips as I feel so amazed to see the entire province of Basco, Batanes from here. It’s really fascinating and it makes me feel at home. I gazed at the left part of the view where there are a lot of hills complimenting the beauty of the sea. The ocean below is very calm and the rock formations are adding up to its real beauty. On the right side, there are mountains, trails, and pathways going to the village and up here. I slowly walked towards the lighthouse. The cold and salty wind blew my hair. I ran my fingers through my hair and placed it on my left shoulder. I looked at the tall lighthouse and I can’t help but feel amazed because it is indeed fascinating. I mean... this whole place is! “Should we go inside?” Evan asked me curiously. I looked at him. He’s standing in

Chapter: #28Bea and I have already finished making two pots when I felt the need to go to the restroom. Auntie let me use the restroom available inside their house. After peeing, I also checked myself in the mirror. I put my hair in a bun and wiped the sweat on my neck and forehead. I re-touched my makeup and then went out again. I was smiling from ear to ear but it faded away the moment I saw Evan and Ash talking to Bea and her mother. Evan’s eyes met mine. My lips formed a thin line. With my forehead creasing, I walked towards them. “What are you guys doing here?” I asked them, irritated. Evan’s eyes bore at me. He looked a bit cranky while Ash, on the other hand, was grinning like a professional devil. “We got bored in the hotel so we went here to annoy you,” said Ash which made me feel more irritated. He’s really getting on my nerves! Does it satisfy him to see me pissed off? Evan immediately turned around to face his evil friend. I knew that he gave him a dagger look. I rolled my

Chapter: #27“I will call your father to inform them that you are safe. Please don’t do something stupid, Risha. Get some rest,” he said in a lower tone. He went out of my room after that. Still sobbing on my bed, I looked at the closed door he went out from. He’s too cruel! For all I know, he’s going to tell everything to my father so that I would be scolded again once I return to Manila! Oh, my goodness! The next day, I am still in a bad mood and I don’t have the energy to do anything. I don’t even have the appetite to eat my breakfast simply because of two reasons. First, Evan forced me to get up from bed even though I didn’t want to go out and join them. Second, I am sitting at the same table with Ash, the bastard who pointed a gun at my head for fun last night. “Good morning, Mademoiselle!” Ash greeted me with a boyish grin on his lips. “What is good in the morning?” I snorted and rolled my eyes. I picked up the food menu and just looked at the list of food. I don’t give a fuck if I

Chapter: #26 I wanted so badly to turn my head and look at the guy behind me, however, I can’t do a single move. My knees felt so weak right now. For heaven’s sake, my life is in danger right now! Once he pulls the trigger, and with only one shot in my head, I will be dead... All of a sudden, the faces of my parents appeared in my mind. I sobbed loudly as I remembered all the good memories I have shared with them. In just a minute, I missed their smiles and presence. “P-please... Don’t... Don’t do this... Don’t shoot me... Spare my life, please...” I begged for my life with tears running down my cheeks. The man laughed devilishly. I still feel the gun on my head. His laugh made me tremble in fear. I am becoming so hopeless knowing that nobody is around to help me. I am stuck with this man whom I don’t even know and who would kill me anytime. He laughed once again and I felt that death is really coming after me, so I cried endlessly, praying that someone would come and save me. “Oh, f

Chapter: #25I woke up feeling so positive and excited the next day. I took a bath and did my morning routine. I wore a black wrap-around dress partnered with black sandals. I have nothing else to do here in the hotel so I would visit Bea instead and would help them in creating pots! She also agreed with this when we talked before we went home last night. I ate my breakfast at the hotel’s diner alone. After that, I went out and started to walk in the near village where Bea’s place is located. It’s a good thing that I can visit them without the need for a vehicle. I inhaled the fresh air and looked at the hills on the side of the road. I smiled happily as I looked at it. It’s really beautiful and makes me feel calm. I gazed at the far sea and the waves seem to be calm as well. I stopped for a moment and closed my eyes. I held my summer hat when the air blew my hair abruptly. I sighed in relief, thinking of the nicest things I would do today with Bea. “Hi there, Madame! Good morning!” I arrived

One Hot Night With The Billionaire
[Matured Content/SPG]
Si Elle Calys Saavedra, isang probinsyanang napilitang lumuwas ng Maynila upang makapagtrabaho’t makatulong sa kanyang ama na ibangon kanilang nasirang sakahan. Sa tulong ng kanyang tiyahin ay mabilis siyang nakahanap ng trabaho.
Buong akala ni Elle ay magiging maayos na ang lahat gayong binigyan siya ng trabaho ng kanyang auntie Levi nang lumuwas siya sa Maynila, ngunit iba ang nangyari.
Nang malamang pagiging escort sa isang high-end bar ang trabahong ibinigay sa kanya— isang trabahong pagbibigay ng aliw na alam niyang hindi niya kayang sikmurain, doon na nagsimulang magbago ang buhay niya.
Taliwas man sa prinsipyong kinagisnan, kapit-patalim na lamang si Elle dahil wala siyang magawa. Aniya’y para sa pamilya.
Isang gabi ay nakilala niya ang isang lalaking may malapad at perpektong mga kilay, singkit ang mga mata, matangos ang ilong, may matikas na panga at aroganteng ngiti sa mga labi. Ang lalaking hindi niya akalaing pag-aalayan niya ng kanyang sarili.
Marupok at tanga na nga siguro siya para magpaubaya sa lalaking hindi niya kilala. Mas lalong nagulo ang isip niya sa mga nakitang pagbabago sa lalaking ‘yon. Animo’y dalawa ang personalidad, pabago-bago ang ugali dahilan para umusbong ang galit para sa lalaki. Ngunit nang malaman niya ang katotohanan at nasagot ang mga tanong na bumagabag sa kanya ay mas lalo pa yatang gumulo ang buhay niya.
Ilang beses niyang kinuwestyon ang sarili kung sino ba ang napagkalooban niya ng kanyang katawan.
Sino nga ba ang lalaking ‘yon?

Chapter: #69HINDI pa man umaabot ng limang minuto nang umalis si Ehryl ay nakarinig ako ng mga pagkatok sa pinto. Bumuntonghininga ako at hinawi at pinasadahan ng mga daliri ang aking buhok. Bumalik siya? Naulit muli ang pagkatok kaya naman kahit mabigat sa loob ko ay naglakad na ako palapit sa pintuan. “Ehryl, hindi ba’t--” Hindi ko naituloy ang sasabihin ko nang tumambad sa akin ang walang emosyon na mukha ni Arlana. Malamig ang pagkakatitig nito sa akin. Halos gumapang ang kaba sa buong sistema ko nang makita kung paano’ng nagbago ang itsura niya . . . animo’y ibang Arlana itong nasa harapan ko. Kita ang mga itim sa ilalim ng kanyang mga mata, halatang wala siyang maayos na tulog. Maputla ang mukha at ang tanging nagdadala lamang ay ang mapulang lipstick ng kanyang labi . . . na halos kasing pula

Chapter: #68 “OPO, Nay.” Tumango ako habang pinapakinggan ang mga payo ni Nanay. Tinawagan ko siya ngayong umaga para ipaalam ang pag-uwi namin ni Auntie Levi ngayong linggo. Lubos naman siyang natuwa sa binalita kong ‘yon. Nang tanungin niya ako kung bakit kami uuwi ay hindi ko na sinabi ang mabigat na dahilan. Mas maganda sigurong si Auntie na lang ang magsabi kay Nanay. “Hindi naman po ako nagpapakapagod. Huwag na po kayong mag-aalala, Nay. Ayos lang po ako.” “Masaya ako na uuwi ka na, anak. Miss na miss ka na namin dito, lalo na ng kapatid mo. Umaayos na rin ang lagay ng palayan natin kaya hindi mo na kailangang manatili riyan sa Maynila para magtrabaho. Mas kampante kami kapag nandito ka kasama namin,” ani Nanay sa nagsusumamong boses. Gumuhit ang malungkot na ngiti sa labi ko. Huminga ako nang malalim habang nakaupo sa kama at nakatingin sa mga damit do’n

Chapter: #67ILANG araw din ang nakalipas matapos ang nangyari sa agency kung saan ako nag-apply. Hindi ko maintindihan kung talagang may kinalaman si Arlana sa nangyaring pangre-reject sa akin sa trabaho pero kung mayroon man ay alam ko na kung bakit niya ginawa iyon. Galit siya sa akin, bagay na klaro sa akin. Aminado akong galit din ako sa ginawa niya. Kaya lang ay sa tuwing naiisip ko na may pinagdadaanan siya, na may sakit siya ay nauunahan ng awa ang puso ko. Iyon din ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko masabi kay Eionn ang nangyari. Hinayaan ko na lang na isipin niyang hindi lang talaga ako nakapasa dahil kulang ang pinag-aralan ko. "Why don't you try college, love?" kuryoso niyang tanong sa akin isang gabi nang dalawin niya ako sa apartment pagkagaling sa kanyang trabaho. "Hindi ko pa kayang pagsabayin. Inuuna ko muna ang kapatid ko," saad ko.&

Chapter: #66 “MAG-IINGAT ka sa byahe,” wika ko kay Eionn nang makarating kami sa parking lot ng apartment building. Magkahawak ang aming mga kamay. Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan ang mga 'yon. Tila ba wala ni isa sa amin ang gustong bitiwan ang kamay ng isa’t isa. Umangat lamang ang tingin ko nang tumikhim siya. “Are you sure you want to stay here? Ayaw mong bumalik sa mansyon?” Nakita ko kung paano gumalaw ang kanyang Adam’s apple dahil sa kanyang malalim na paglunok. “Sasha misses you.” “Nami-miss ko na rin naman si Sasha kaya lang ay hindi naman magandang tingnan na naroon ako. Matagal na akong resigned bilang kasambahay mo,” sagot ko at maingat siyang tiningnan. “Dadalawin ko na lang siguro si Sasha kapag wala akong masyadong gagawin sa apartment.”&

Chapter: #65KATATAPOS ko lang maligo. Hindi ko maalis ang kaba sa aking dibdib, para bang hindi pa rin ito nakakabawi dahil sa presensya ni Eionn. Ilang beses akong huminga nang malalim habang nagbibihis sa banyo. Dahil gabi na rin naman ay minabuti kong magsuot na ng pantulog. Isang t-shirt na maluwag at pajama iyon. Nagsuklay ako ng buhok at ilang beses tiningnan ang repleksyon ko sa salamin. Maayos naman ang itsura ko ngunit ewan ko ba, para akong batang hindi mapakali sa pag-iisip na naghihintay sa akin si Eionn habang nakaupo sa aking kama. Lumunok ako at pilit na kinalma ang naghuhuramentado kong puso. Hindi pa rin ako nakakabawi sa naging halikan namin at sa bawat segundong pag-iisip no’n ay nararamdaman ko ang pag-iinit ng mukha ko. Umiling ako at hinagilap ang aking ulirat. Hindi naman pwedeng maging marupok ka agad, Elle! Marami kaming dapat pag

Chapter: #64PIGIL ang paghikbi ko nang maramdaman ang mahigpit na yakap sa akin ni Eionn. Maraming mga tanong ang gumugulo sa isipan ko na gustuhin ko mang isatinig ngunit napang-iibabawan ng sakit na nararamdaman ng puso ko. “Hush now, love. . . I’m sorry. I didn’t know Arlana would go that far. . .” marahan at nakaliliyo ang boses ni Eionn nang sabihin ang mga salitang ‘yon. Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi ko. Tila ba mas lalo pang umapaw ang mga luha ko ngayong narito siya sa harapan ko. “I’m sorry. . . This is my entire fault. I am sorry, Elle. . .” Lumunok ako. Masakit man sa damdamin, hinang-hina man ang katawan at tuliro man ang isipan ay hinagilap ko pa rin ang kaunting lakas mula sa kalooban ko para kumalas sa pagkakayakap niya. “Elle. . .” gulat na tawag sa akin ni Eionn. “Oo, kasalanan mo ‘to, Eionn. . .” Tuloy-tuloy ang paglandas ng mga luha ko sa aking m
