Chapter: CHAPTER 1615“Well… I’m not sure though…” Chloe replied, her voice trailing off as she stared at the floor. The light of the room flickered softly, casting shadows on the walls. Samantha leaned back on the couch, eyes fixed on Chloe, waiting for more.Chloe’s mind began to wander, back to the painful realization she had come to accept—that Dylan would never be hers. Not now, not ever. A dull ache settled in her chest as she thought of him. It felt unreal, like something out of a bad dream she couldn’t shake off. Dylan was about to marry her, Kaye, the woman he had chosen. The woman who now clung to life, fighting a battle Chloe couldn’t even imagine.“I mean… you’re precisely correct that I shared my admiration towards Dylan, but…” she paused, her words hanging heavy in the air. She could feel Samantha’s eyes on her, sharp and inquisitive.“But you know I’ve already accepted that he couldn’t be mine,” Chloe continued, her voice steady now, though the pain underneath it was unmistakable.Samanth

Chapter: CHAPTER 14Jared stormed out of Dylan’s office, slamming the heavy oak door behind him. His mind was reeling with disbelief, frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. “Dylan has really gone mad!” he muttered under his breath as he briskly walked down the corridor, his footsteps echoing on the marble floor.This wasn’t like Dylan. Jared had worked with him for nearly a decade, pouring his heart and soul into the F. Newspapers and Magazines Company. He knew the man well—or at least, he thought he did. Dylan had always been sharp, a strategic thinker, and a leader who could handle the intense pressures of the media world with grace. But lately, something had shifted. The decisions he was making were erratic, nonsensical even. He’d become unpredictable, lashing out at staff, making absurd demands, and issuing orders that seemed to contradict every business strategy they had carefully crafted over the years.Jared paused by the large glass window that overlooked the bustling city below.

Chapter: CHAPTER 13Jared stood rigid, fists clenched at his sides, glaring at Dylan. The walls of Dylan's office were adorned with accolades and framed covers of past issues—reminders of the success they had both built from the ground up. The company had grown exponentially under Dylan’s leadership, but now, it felt like everything they had worked for was in jeopardy.Dylan, sitting behind his massive oak desk, his usually composed demeanor shattered, had just delivered news that Jared found impossible to accept.“Really, Dylan? After everything we’ve done. After everything we’ve been through!?” Jared’s voice trembled with anger as he spoke. “We planned this all along, Dylan. We spent time and effort, we spent our resources just to make sure this project wouldn’t fail, and now, all of a sudden, you’re going to abort it? What’s wrong with you?”Jared’s frustration was palpable. This project was more than just another publication—it was the culmination of months of work, meetings, and negotiations. The Ho

Chapter: CHAPTER 12"What do you mean?" Chloe’s voice held a tone of cautious curiosity as she hovered near Dylan's office door. Her brow furrowed, and her hands clutched the things she carried. As his secretary, she was used to getting straight answers from him—especially when something felt off. Today, everything felt off.Dylan didn’t look up from the paperwork spread across his desk. He hated how much he needed to control himself right now. The office was quiet except for the ticking of a wall clock that seemed to count down his seconds to respond."It's nothing," Dylan finally said, his voice clipped, dismissive. He didn’t mean for it to sound so sharp, but he had to shut down the conversation quickly. He knew that Chloe was perceptive, and if he wasn’t careful, she’d start asking more questions—questions he had no intention of answering.Chloe wasn’t satisfied, but she knew when to back off. Working for Dylan had taught her that. There were times when his silence spoke louder than his words. This w

Chapter: CHAPTER 11Dylan glanced back at Chloe, who was standing there in front of his desk, her posture tense, her lips slightly parted as though she had something more to say. Her blue eyes held a flicker of confusion, and he could feel the weight of her unspoken questions. But he didn’t give her the chance. With a deliberate, controlled motion, he stood from his chair, shoulders squared, conviction solidifying within him."Abort the project," Dylan said, his voice devoid of hesitation.Chloe blinked, clearly startled. She held a thick folder of documents, the finalized paperwork for the publication of Hotel de Montemayor. The project was in its final stages. The launch was scheduled. Everything was set. And yet here was Dylan, tossing it aside.“Wait… really, Dylan?” Chloe stammered, taking a step closer to his desk, her confusion growing by the second. “I mean, we’re almost there. The press is lined up, the promotional materials are printed. Besides—” she hesitated, her voice softening—"this is the

Chapter: Chapter 6“Good…” Sagot ni Mr. Forteros sa naguguluhang si Aki. Hindi rin kasi niya alam kung ano ang tamang isasagot sa offer ni Mr. Forteros eh." I mean…" Napautal niyang ani ngunit walang ibang salita ag maririnig mula sa kaniya. Hindi siya sigurado sa kaniyang sasabihin.“I see… I'll give you at least a day to think about it, Ms. Aki…” " And what will you do if I disagree with your offer?”" I'll ripped out your reputation and will make sure you will be sent to prison.” Matikas na sagot naman ni Mr. Forteros sa tanong ni Aki dahilan upang mapanganga ito." Huh!?” Ngumiti ng malamig si Mr. Forteros habang nakatitig ng malalim sa kaniya. At habang nakatitih ito ay hindi malaman ni Aki kung ano ang kaniyang gagawin. She sure was very intimidated by this man in front of her." I'll see you then, Ms. Aki.” At tumalikod ang lalaki at naglakad deritso ng pinto." Pag-isipan mong mabuti kong ani ang magiging desisyon mo.” Dagdag pa niya at isinarado na ang pinto.Naiwan naman si Aki sa loob ng k

Chapter: Chapter 5“Doc, how's she?" Tanong ni ma'am Trixie sa doctor na kakalabas lang sa loob ng operating room.“As I said ma'am, there is a 50% chances of her to survive. But sad to say that her legs must be cut off to avoid any of the possible infections." Sagot naman ng doctor.Hindi na rin mapigilang umiyak ni ma'am Trixie, ang malditang ina ni Cayleigh matapos niyang marinig ang sinabi ng doctor sa kaniya. Kritikal daw kasi ang kalagayan ng kaniyang anak at mapuputulan pa ito ng dalawang paa. Kung magkagayon ay paano na lang kaya ang kaniyang mga negosyo. Sino na ang mag-aasikaso ng kaniyang Hotel de Montemayor, ang kaniyang mga guests at appointments, at ang kaniyang kasal? Siguradong malaking dagok itok para sa kaniyang negosyo. “Do-doc… do-do everything you can para lang mabuhay ang anak ko!” Pautal-utal pa nitong pakiusap sa doctor.“I-I’ll pay… I’ll pay…” " Don't worry Mrs. Montemayor… ginagawa po namin ang lahat ng aming makakaya. Ang kailangan niyo lang pong gawin ay magtiwala.” Sagot ng

Chapter: Chapter 4" Ito na po ang mga damit, sir Knight.” Malimit na ani ni aling Tirang dala ang mga damit na ipinakuha sa kaniya ni Mr. Forteros." Paki-lagay nalang diyan aling Tirang…" Saan naman ni Mr. Forteros. Matapos malapag ni aling Tirang ang mga damit ay agad na rin itong lumabas. Wala na rin namang inutos sa kaniya si Mr. Forteros kaya wala na ring dahilan upang maghintay pa siya roon. Si mang Epyong naman ay tinatawagan pa si Doc Glen na isa sa mga malapit na kaibigan ni Mr. Forteros."Ms. Salamanca…" Nagsalita si Mr. Forteros at gano'n lang kadali ay nakuha niyang muli ang atensyon ni Aki.“Kumain ka muna at magbihis ka."“M-Mr. Forteros…"“Shut up! Just eat and change your clothes!” At lumabas si Mr. Forteros sa kwarto. Sa lakas ng pagkalabog ng pintuan ay patunay lang ng kaniyang hindi matawanang galit. Siguro ay iniisip pa rin niya kung ano ang gagawin niya kay Aki. Hindi rin kasi niya ito pwedeng e-turn over sa mga pulis dahil non-existence na ang aksidente sa ginawa niyang pagtapak

Chapter: Chapter 3Sumunod naman kaagad si aling Tirang kay mang Epyong at nang papalapit na sila sa may pintuan ay naririnig nila ang malakas na mga kalabog.“Si-sinong nandiyan?" Sabi pa ni Aki ng may mapansin siyang mga bakas na papalapit sa kaniyang kinaroroonan. Kinatok ng kinatok niya ang pintuan at nagbabakasakaling may tumulong sa kaniya na makalabas sa loob ng kwartong iyon.“May tao ba riyan sa labas? Tulongan ninyo ako… hello… nandito ako sa loob!” Muli pa niyang ani dahil naririnig na niya sa di kalayuan ang mga bakas at tila papalapit ito sa may pintuan."Sinong nariyan? Sino kayo? Palabasin niyo ako rito… tulong!”"Ikaw ba ang nakabangga kay ma'am Cayleigh?" Panigurado naman ni mang Epyong na ngayon ay nasa labas ng kwarto na kinaroroonan ni Aki. Sa likod naman niya ay si aling Tirang na may dalang pagkain.“Ilabas ninyo ako rito, maawa na kayo… hindi ko naman sinasadya ang lahat ng nangyari. Maawa na kayo.” Pagmamaka-awa ng babae." Huminahon ka muna, ma'am…" Ani naman ni aling Tirang na

Chapter: Chapter 2Matapos marinig ni Aki ang mga sinabi ni Mr. Forteros sa kaniya ay hindi niya maitago ang kaniyang pagtataka. Ano ba ang ginawa niya kay Mr. Forteros na naging dahilan kung bakit ganito nalang ka bigat ang galit nito sa kaniya? Walang nakitang dahilan si Aki upang kagalitan ng ganito ka lalim dahil ang tanging alam lamang niya ay ang lumaban ng patas sa buhay. Wala naman din siyang ibang iniisip kundi ang palaguin lamang ang kaniyang Magic Fashion Boutique at makilala sa buong Pilipinas bilang isang fashion designer. “S-stole, Mr. Forteros?” Tumayo siya sa kaniyang pagkadapa. "Alam mo bang pwede kitang kasohan dahil sa ginagawa mo sa akin ngayon!?” Sabi niya at kinapa ang kaniyang mga bulsa. Hinanap niya ang kaniyang mga gamit: selpon at pitaka, ngunit wala na ito sa bulsa niya.“Nasaan ang mga gamit ko!?" Pasigaw pa niyang tanong." I kept it, Ms. Aki… besides, hindi mo na kailangan pang malaman kung saan ko ‘yon itinago."“Walang hiya ka!? Ano bang kasalanan ko sayo, Mr Forteros!?

Chapter: Chapter 1“Sino ‘yon ha, Russell!? Bagong babae mo na naman ba!?” Tanong ni Aki sa kaniyang nobyo na si Russell. Hindi na maipinta ang kaniyang galit dahil sa patuloy na pangangaliwa ng nobyo nito, ngunit gano'n paman ay hindi pa rin niya ito kayang pakawalan. Anak kasi si Russell ng mayor sa kanilang siyudad dahilan upang isang malaking investment ito para sa kaniyang pasikat na Magic Fashion Boutique.Magaling na fashion designer si Aki at madalas na nakakakuha ng bigating projects kagaya na lamang ng tinatrabaho niya ngayong bridal gown ng fiance ng Isa sa mga sikat na negosyante at CEO ng F Newspapers and Magazines Company na si Knight Forteros. “Iyan ka na naman eh, Aki… why you always make everything so complicated, ha? Wala ka bang magawa sa buhay mo?” Sumagot naman si Russell at tumalikod." Talaga ba ,ha, Russell? Ako ba talaga ang ginagawang komplikado ang lahat!?" Napahawak sa siya sa kaniyang ulo at mababakas sa kaniyang mga galaw ang galit na namumuo sa kaniyang puso. Gusto man ni
