Chapter: Kabanata 0205Bahagyang napakurap-kurap ang mga mata ni Avrielle, gumapang rin ang kilabot sa makinis niyang balat. "Paano mo nalamang size 36 ang paa ko?" Nanatili naman ang seryoso at kalamigan sa mukha ni Brandon. "Mukha kasing maliit kaya hinulaan ko na lang." Bahagyang naitago ni Avrielle ang mapuputi niy

Chapter: Chapter 10Avrielle turned off the speakerphone and stepped away from her siblings. She went to her room."Hurry up, I'm busy," she said irritably to Brandon on the other line."Why did you change your contact number?""Why, is that not allowed? Of course, it's part of my new life.""But what if Grandpa suddenly looks for you? I won’t be able to contact you. Give me your new phone number."A smirk formed on Avrielle’s lips. A sarcastic laugh escaped her mouth."You know, it’s easy to find me. Just call Anton, and you’ll definitely track me down.""Tsk. You’re really itching to replace me, huh? And what do you call me in front of your lover?""Brandon!" Avrielle's ears burned with anger at Brandon’s words. She clenched her fists tightly in frustration."You’re so foolish to think of getting back at me this way. Do you think I care about whoever you choose to be with?" Brandon added mockingly, laughing. "I just don’t want Grandpa to be disappointed in you. I don’t want him to realize in the end th

Chapter: Chapter 9Avrielle held the steering wheel with confidence as she drove down the highway. She was even singing along to the song Queen of the Night.She wasn’t afraid that Brandon was having her investigated. What she couldn’t understand was why a man who had abandoned her for three years was suddenly so interested in her now.She thought to herself that men were truly mean. You chase after them, love them, and all they give you in return is pain. But the moment you start ignoring them and treating them as unimportant, that’s when they start pestering you.When Avrielle glanced at the rearview mirror, her brows furrowed. Not far behind her car, she spotted Brandon’s Lamborghini."So, you want to follow me, huh?"The corner of Avrielle’s lips lifted, and she firmly stepped on the accelerator.Dust flew up as she sped off, leaving a trail behind her.Meanwhile, Brandon sat in the passenger seat, serious and focused, while Xander drove."Hurry up! We might lose sight of her car.""Mr. Ricafort, Ms

Chapter: Chapter 8"Oh my God! Are you okay?" Señora Carmela asked Samantha in a panicked voice. She was lying face down on the floor, and it was hard to tell if Señora Carmela was worried or trying not to laugh.Brandon quickly rushed over to them. He tried to help Samantha up, but she deliberately refused to move and instead started crying dramatically."Honey, it hurts... it hurts so much..." Samantha whimpered, flaring her nostrils. "Hurry up, carry me." She winced as pain shot through her knee.Brandon sighed and complied, lifting her up. As soon as she was standing properly, Samantha clung to him."Honey, Amery pushed me." She immediately tattled, pointing at Avrielle.Avrielle raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms over her chest while giving Samantha a cold stare."What?" Brandon asked in confusion."Are you sure I pushed you?" Avrielle couldn’t even be annoyed; instead, she burst into laughter at Samantha’s over-the-top acting."What do you think? Do you expect me to push myself?!""Not impossibl

Chapter: Chapter 7It seems that the old man has been recharged with energy and vibrance when he saw Avrielle inside his room“Amery, Amery, come here to Grandpa!” Don Simeon called out affectionately, his arms spread wide open.Avrielle immediately approached and embraced the old man. She kissed him on the forehead before sitting down beside him.“How are you, Grandpa? Are you still feeling unwell?” she asked, gently holding Don Simeon’s hands.“My grandchild, no matter how lousy I feel, just seeing you makes me feel as if I’m getting better in an instant!” His voice brimmed with happiness—but that quickly faded into sorrow as his gaze fell upon Brandon.“Oh, why are you sad?” she asked.“Is it true what that gossip said—that you two are divorced?”Avrielle lowered her head and nodded softly. “Yes, Grandpa. It’s true—Brandon and I are divorced.” Her eyes glistened as she fought back tears.“You evil bastard!” Don Simeon thundered at Brandon. “You truly have no heart! You had the best wife—someone like

Chapter: Chapter 6Three consecutive knocks captured the attention of siblings Avrielle and Anton. Following that, the office door swung open, and Ella rushed inside."Ms. Avrielle, I just found out that our supplier for hotel beddings and furniture is Aishi Home Furnishing. Mr. Gallardo is the one handling the contract.""Uh... oh..." Anton glanced at his sister with a smirk, waiting for her reaction.Avrielle crossed her legs and stared straight at the secretary, her gaze sharp and piercing."Tell the Finance Department to sort out all the hotel accounts for the past two years. Also, contact a new supplier for beddings and furniture. I don’t want anything from Aishi.""Such a big deal?" Anton raised an eyebrow."Aishi Home Furnishing is owned by Ash Gonzaga," Avrielle replied quickly, referring to Samantha’s sibling."So, you’re seeking revenge?""No, of course not! Their beddings look cheap. I’ve heard they wear out quickly and are stiff. They’re not comfortable to sleep on. I don’t want our guests c

Chapter: Chapter 5When Avrielle started working at the company, rumors among the employees never ceased. Most of them were envious, especially the senior executives who had long been vying for the position she now held. “Oh my goodness, this is crazy! Don’t they know that the new president of Madrigal Corporation is the legitimate and only daughter of the owner? Have they lost their minds?” Ella, Avrielle’s secretary, expressed her frustration, sitting in the passenger seat of the car. Avrielle couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, I don’t care about what they say. You’re just overreacting!” She glanced at Ella’s face in the rearview mirror, noticing her pout and flushed cheeks of annoyance. Unable to resist, Avrielle reached over and pinched one of Ella’s cheeks. “Avrielle, you are the future president of our company. Can you act like someone in power and stop touching Ella like that?” Avrielle immediately withdrew her hand when Anton, the man seated next to her, reprimanded her sternly. “Why? Are male bo

Chapter: Chapter 5: A Proposal Of Power"Ahh!" Namilipit si Rigor sa sahig, humihiyaw sa matinding paghihirap. Nang magtagpo ang kanilang mga mata ni Kristoff, ang dating mayabang na ekspresyon sa mukha nito ay napalitan ng takot. "Sino ka ba? Wala namang alitan sa pagitan natin!" "Sino naman ang nagsabi sa'yo n'yan?" Lumingon si Kristoff kay Irene, ngunit hindi mabasa ang kanyang mga mata. Dahan-dahan niyang hinaplos ang buhok ng babae gamit ang mahahaba niyang daliri. "Gusto mong angkinin ang babae ko. Kung ako, si Kristoff Montecillo, hahayaan kang lumaya matapos mo akong bastusin, maaaring isipin ng lahat na pwede na rin nilang gawin sa'kin 'yon." Nanginig si Rigor nang marinig ang pangalan ni Kristoff. Mabilis na bumaling kay Irene ang kanyang mga mata, habang ang kanyang mukha'y tila tinakasan na ng dugo. "Siya pala si Ms. Casareo. Nagkamali ako, Mr. Montecillo. Kung alam ko lang na malapit siya sa'yo, hindi ko siya iisiping lapitan!" Kung kani-kanina lang ay punong-puno siya ng galit at hinanakit, nang marini

Hindi niya nagawang umiwas o tumugon man lang.Samantala, nanatiling nakatulala ang mga tauhan ni Kristoff. Nanlalaki ang mata ng mga ito dahil sa labis na pagkamangha. Matagal na silang nagta-trabaho para sa lalaki, ngunit kahit minsan ay hindi nila nakita itong naging malapit sa kahit na sinong babae.Palaging lumalayo sa mga babae si Kristoff. Noon, ang sinumang babaeng lumapit dito, ay nauuwi na lamang bilang pagkain ng mga isda, o kaya naman ay ipinapadala na lang sa minahan upang magtrabaho sa ilalim ng utos nito.Kaya't hindi nila lubos maisip kung anong mahika kaya mayroon ang babaeng nasa harapan nila ngayon? Paano nito nagawang pasunurin si Kristoff at sirain ang lahat ng patakaran ng lalaki sa una palang nilang pagkikita?Habang nananatili sa pagkalito ang mga taong nakapaligid, ay gulong-gulo rin ang isipan ni Irene, dahilan upang hindi siya makapag-isip nang maayos.

Chapter: Chapter 3: A Deal With The DevilTinanggap ni Kristoff ang panyo mula sa pinagkakatiwalaan nitong alalay na si Roland Silverio. Marahan nitong pinunasan ang dugo sa mga kamay nito nang may sadyang pagkilos at mala-haring paggalaw.Pagkatapos ay dahan-dahan nitong inalis ang suot na maskara, at ibinunyag ang mukhang kayang agawin ang hininga ng sinuman. Ang mga mata nitong madilim, ay parang mga balong may mahiwagang pang-akit na sapat upang hilahin ang sinuman paloob. Sa itaas ng perpektong hubog ng mga labi nito, ay naroon ang isang matikas at tila inukit na ilong.Ang matitigas na linya ng mukha ni Kristoff ay nagpapakita ng kapangyarihan at kagandahan, halos masyadong perpekto para mapasama sa isang karaniwang lalaki. Ito ang klase ng mukha na kayang lamunin ang ningning ng pinakamalaking bituin sa showbiz.Ngunit higit pa sa itsura nito, ang taglay nitong awra ay makapangyarihan, hindi kayang supilin, at nagpapadala ng kilabot sa mga kalamnan. Ito ang uri ng lalaking may hawak sa kapalaran ng napakaraming buhay.

Chapter: Chapter 2: A Dangerous EncounterNang gabing iyon, ay matuling tumatakbo ang sasakyang kinalululanan ni Irene sa tahimik na lansangan, habang ang headlights nito ay pumuputol sa pusikit na kadiliman.Bang!Isang malakas na putok ng baril ang bumasag ng katahimikan, nakakabingi iyon at nakakatakot.Sumabog ang bintana ng sasakyan, at nagkalat ang bubog sa mga upuan habang kumikislap ang mga piraso nito sa mahina at madilim na ilaw ng kalye.Nagsimula ang kaguluhan. Ang mga takot na sigaw ay umalingawngaw sa kalsada, habang ang iilang mga tindahang nakabukas ay nagmamadaling binaba ang kanilang mga rehas.Ang driver ay biglang namutla at nanginig sa takot. Dahil doon ay dumulas ang sasakyan, madiing kumakaskas ang mga gulong nito bago bumangga sa bangketa. Malakas na humampas ang mukha ng driver sa manibela kaya't nawalan ito ng malay.Sa tabi ng driver, ay naroon si Irene na napapakurap-kurap.

Ang buong akala niya ay wagas at totoo ang pagmamahal na pinaramdam sa kanya nito, umasa rin siya na sa oras na kinasal sila ay puro ligaya na ang malalasap niya at wala nang haharaping problema.Ngunit sa araw ng kanilang kasal, ang lalaki pa mismo ang nagsuplong sa kanya sa mga pulis dahil mas pinaniwalaan nito ang kasinungalingang ginawa ng stepsister nitong si Sandra.Sa loob ng tahimik at sagradong hukuman, ay umalingawngaw ang tunog ng malyete ng hukom na naghuhudyat ng isang tensyonadong sandali."Irene Casareo, ikaw ay pinaghihinalaang nagnakaw ng mga alahas na pag-aari ni Doña Natividad Montecillo na nagkakahalaga ng humigit kumulang isang milyong piso.
