The Truth Unfolds Lana’s POV I sat in the living room, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a heavy blanket. My mind spun with all the revelations from the past few days—Leo’s betrayal, Sarah’s twisted games, and the danger we were all in. It felt like the walls were closing in on me, and I had no idea who to trust anymore. Donovan stood by the window, his face unreadable as he stared out into the night. The silence between us was thick, and I knew there was more he hadn’t told me yet. I could feel it in the air, a tension that seemed to tighten with every passing second. Finally, he spoke, his voice low and strained. "Lana, there’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago." I looked up at him, my heart pounding. "What is it, Donovan? I don’t think I can handle any more surprises." He turned to face me, his eyes filled with a mix of guilt and determination. "Remember when we thought I couldn’t have children? When we believed I w

Truth Lana’s POV My hands shook as I stood over the knife, my heart pounding. The air felt thick with tension, and I could hardly breathe. Leo was still wrestling with the stranger on the floor, and I knew I had to act fast. “Get off him!” I shouted, hoping to break through the chaos. Leo glanced up, his face smeared with sweat and determination. “Lana, I can handle this! Just—” But before he could finish, the stranger threw him to the side. Leo hit the wall with a loud thud, and I winced at the sound. “Now, where were we?” the man said, grinning menacingly. I tightened my grip on the knife, trying to steady my racing thoughts. Who was this guy? Why had he come here? “Get away from him!” I yelled, stepping forward, ready to protect Leo at all costs. The man turned his gaze toward me, his smile widening. “You think you can stop me? You don’t even know what’s happening here.” “What are you talking about?” I snapped. He straightened up, brushing off his clothes like he

The Storm Lana’s POV My heart raced as I looked from Donovan to Leo, who was blocking our only way out. The air was thick with tension, and the darkness felt like it was closing in on me. I had never been so terrified in my life. “Lana, listen to me!” Donovan said urgently, his eyes fixed on me. “We can’t let him get to you. We need to stick together.” “Together?” Leo sneered, stepping forward. “Do you think that will save you? You’re both just pawns in my game.” “What game?” I shot back, trying to keep my voice steady. “What do you want?” Leo grinned, but there was no warmth in it. “I want everything. You, Lana. Your trust. Your love. I want to destroy Donovan, and you’re the key to making that happen.” I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. How had I misjudged him so completely? I had thought Leo was my ally, someone I could trust, but now he was showing a dark side I had never seen before. “Lana, don’t listen to him!” Donovan shouted, stepping protectively in front of me. “

All Lies Lana’s POV The night was thick with tension, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched. Sarah and I sat in the dim light of the cabin, huddled together as we planned our next move against Donovan. I tried to focus, but my mind kept drifting back to the shadow I had seen outside. “Lana, are you even listening?” Sarah’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Sorry, I just…” I hesitated, trying to find the right words. “I keep thinking about Donovan. What if he is coming for us?” Sarah rolled her eyes, irritation flashing across her face. “Donovan is a monster. He will do anything to get to you. We need to stay focused.” As she spoke, I felt a knot tightening in my stomach. Something didn’t feel right. The more I thought about it, the more I began to question Sarah’s intentions. Was she really on my side, or was she just trying to protect herself? Suddenly, the front door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. My heart raced as I turned, ready to confront

Unexpected Lana’s POV The days following Donovan’s death—if it was even that—were a blur. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, each moment dragging on as I tried to process everything that had happened. Leo was gone. The thought crushed me. I could still hear his voice, his laughter, and his promises echoing in my mind. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, my heart heavy with grief. Leo had fought for me. He had given everything to protect me, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had failed him. I should have been there. I should have done something more. “Lana, are you okay?” Caroline’s voice broke through my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I forced a smile, but it felt hollow. “Yeah, just thinking.” “Thinking about Leo?” she asked gently, stepping closer. I nodded, tears welling in my eyes. “I can’t believe he’s gone. He didn’t deserve this.” “I know,” Caroline said, sitting beside me. “He loved you, Lana. And you loved

The Truth UnveiledLana’s POVThe chaos in the cabin was overwhelming. I felt my heart racing as Donovan’s men stormed in, and I barely had time to process what was happening. The air was thick with tension, and I could hear the sound of fists hitting flesh, shouts of anger, and the shattering of furniture. I had to focus. I had to protect Sarah.“Sarah!” I yelled, scanning the room for her. She was pressed against the wall, eyes wide with fear. “Lana, get out!” she shouted, her voice trembling. “They’re going to hurt you!”I pushed through the crowd, trying to reach her. But just then, Leo stepped in front of me, brandishing an axe with fierce determination. “Stay back!” he warned, ready to defend us. Suddenly, I heard Donovan’s laugh cut through the chaos. “You think you can save her, Leo?” His voice dripped with mockery. “You’re out of your league!”Without warning, a loud crash reverberated through the cabin as the front door burst open. Donovan stood there, a twisted smile on

A high demandAdrian's POV"Big boss, I just saw something" Miguel voiced out as we walked into the company, his voice laced with a hint of fear.My curiosity was piqued. "What's that?"He inhaled sharply. "It's Valerie.""Who?" I probed, trying to understand why the name sounded so familiar.Miguel looked at me with a funny expression on his face. "Sir, don't tell me you've forgotten so quickly. The girl you sent to an asylum five years ago because she wore a pink dress to an all-black party?"It finally clicked. "Valerie Cruz?""Yes, Big boss. You got that right" Miguel confirmed.I sighed as memories came running back into my mind."What about her?" I asked coldly."She's been released" Miguel revealed, and I halted abruptly."What?!" I spat. "Who would dare release her without my permission?""I'm yet to figure that out, but she's out of the asylum right now as we speak" Miguel stated.

A childValerie's POV"Madame, your parents are inside" My driver revealed, bowing as he opened the car.I snorted in laughter, flinging my long black hair. "That's their problem, Felix.

"Out with it!""Your father said you must come to the living room the moment you step foot into his house" Felix replied, his voice laced with caution. "They're both waiting for you.""Tch..." I gritted my teeth in anger; angry with reality. It was their house, so I had to comply; coupled with the past drama before they tried to get rid of me.I ignored Felix and sauntered into the house. Everyone who saw me, including the maids, kept their distance but didn't fail to show respect.

PenaltyAdrian's POV"I already called the police" Miguel announced, smiling mischievously. "They should be here any moment from now.""No, please" Elizabeth screamed out in fear, crawling towards Elder Martinez's foot.The old man was quick to kick her hands away with his stick. It must have hurt a lot, because she drew her hands back instantly and squeezed it, wailing."Elder Martinez, please, let's settle this amicably" Louis pleaded, looking like he had suddenly aged within the last few minutes. "The Lopez family will suffer a huge setback if news of this gets to the public.""Well, if you had instilled proper home training and wisdom into your daughter, none of this would have happened" Elder Martinez retorted. "When she gets to the cell, you can call a good lawyer for her; that is if the lawyer is capable of going against ours."Such pride!Everyone knew the Martinez family owned the best law firm in the Philippines. We weren't called giants for nothing."Elder Martinez, please

A shocking newsDiego's POV"When last did you hear from Luisa?" A sharp voice questioned, startling me. The pin in my hands abruptly pierced my fingers due to shock.I was furious. I turned sharply to see the sly Joyce walking into my office seductively."What the hell is the color of your problem?!" I barked and sucked the blood coming out of my fingers. "You almost killed me!""I did?" She asked, frowning. "It's no big deal. It's just a pin.""Oh, wow!" I gasped, speechless. I took a deep breath, my hands akimbo. "Fine. What do you want? Don't waste my time."She smiled, walking towards me. "I see you're trying to redecorate your office.""It's none of your business" I snarled, my voice full of impatience. "Time is of the essence, Joyce.""Alright, then. I asked a question when I came in" She smirked. "When was the last time you saw or spoke to Luisa?"I shook my head with a deep sigh. "I haven't seen her since the last time she visited this company.""Oh, is that so?" She frowned.

KarmaAdrian's POV"Where is she?" Louis questioned fiercely, making his way to the stairs."Hold it there" Elder Martinez's voice reverberated through the room. "No one leaves my presence until I say so."Louis gritted his teeth. "But...""No buts" Elder Martinez fired, turning to the guards. "Find a partner of yours and drag those two pornstars down here.""Yes, Lord" He replied and left immediately.Everywhere was engulfed in an awkward silence as few of us anticipated the drama that was about the ensue, while the others dreaded the outcome."Ahhh.. let me go" a familiar tiny voice shouted.Almost immediately, the silhouettes of four people approached. Soon enough, their faces became clearer.The two culprits both looked disheveled, their clothes sticking to their bodies. The guard looked so satisfied as he kept his lewd gaze on Elizabeth. It seemed the old man's interruption had ruined his fun.The guards leading them pushed them to the center of the living room. Elizabeth's mothe

"What did you do this time?"My lips curved into a sardonic smile. "What do you think?"I sighed, then added. "I didn't do much; just made some adjustments in my favor. I'm sure you'll find out soon.""Oh, I see..." He nodded in understanding, standing up with his walking stick. "I really can't wait to find out, so I'll just go check it out myself."I decided to go after him. I stood up and dipped my hands into my pocket, I trailed behind the old man until we got to the room where the scream came from.
