Chapter: Chapter 190Nick’s POV ~~ Flashback before Nick’s Accident ~~Halos araw-araw, si Andrea ang kasa-kasama ko sa ospital. Inaalagaan niya ako. Pinipilit kong magpanggap na ayos lang ako. Na masaya ako. Pero sa totoo lang, may mga araw na hindi ko talaga kayang tiisin ang presensya niya. Masyado siyang maingay, masyadong masigla… parang wala siyang pakialam sa bigat ng mundo ko.At sa mga sandaling ‘yon, nakikita ko… ilang ulit ko nakikitang sumisilip si Jessica. Minsan malayo lang. Minsan palihim. Nasasaktan ako.Pero palagi kong pinipiling hindi siya pansinin. Nagpapanggap akong hindi ko siya nakikita. Kahit na ang totoo, bawat sulyap niya ay parang punyal na dumudurog sa puso ko.Sa bawat pagtulo ng kanyang luha… sa bawat paglapit niya sa akin… parang patalim na paulit-ulit na sumasaksak sa puso ko.Alam ko, kailangan ko na talagang gumawa ng paraan.Kailangan ko siyang itulak palayo. Kailangan niyang magalit sa akin.At sa lahat ng posibleng paraan, tanging pagpapakasal kay Andrea ang naiisip k

Chapter: Chapter 189Nick’s POV ~~ Flashback before Nick’s Accident ~~“Nick… Nick huwag mo kong iwan… Please… huhuhu… Please, Nick…”" Love, gising ka na.." Mga boses ni Jessica ang tanging naririnig ko sa gitna ng dilim. Walang katapusang kadiliman. Pilit kong tinutunton ang pinanggagalingan ng kanyang tinig pero parang lalong lumalayo.Lakad lang ako ng lakad.Hindi ako titigil. Kailangan ko siyang mahanap. Jessica… umiiyak siya. Nasasaktan. Natatakot. Kailangan niya ako.“Love, where are you? Are you okay? Love…”Mga alingawngaw na lang ang naririnig ko. Wala akong ibang makita kundi dilim… hanggang sa bigla na lang may liwanag. Isang matinding bugso ng pag-asa ang bumalot sa akin. Dali-dali akong tumakbo papunta sa liwanag.Pagdilat ko ng aking mata, isang puting kisame ang bumungad sa akin. Napapikit ako. Ilang ulit. Masakit. Masakit ang ulo ko… ang buong katawan ko.Paglingon ko, nakita ko si Jessica. Masaya ako nung makita siya.“Love! Gising ka na! Wait, I will call the nurse!”Kita ko ang ning

Chapter: Chapter 188Nick’s POV ~~ Flashback bago ang Aksidente ~~Pinipilit kong tapusin ang lahat ng trabaho sa opisina. Kailangan kong umuwi ng maaga. May inihanda akong espesyal para kay Jessica. Biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko. “Yes, hello?” “Good afternoon Mr. Ford, everything is set now, according to your instruction. I also sent a video to your email. Kindly check it if there are things you want to change or remove.” “OK, thank you! I’ll check it now. I will call you back.”Tumawag ang decorator na inupahan ko para sa isa na namang proposal ko kay Jessica. Excited kong binuksan ang email ko. Napangiti ako habang pinapanood ang video. Perfect ang setup. Gusto ko sana ito sa ibang lugar, pero mas pinili ko sa condo, mas private, walang istorbo.Alam kong mainit-init pa ang engagement nila ni Rich, pero wala akong pakialam. Ayokong may makakita sa amin at masira pa si Jessica sa publico. Magtitiis lang muna ako. Lalo akong napangiti nang makita ko ang malaking portrait niya, nakangiti siya, mas

Chapter: Chapter 187Nick’s POVAndrea decided to stay sa mansion nila, may kailangan daw siyang gawin. Ako naman, umuwi mag-isa sa condo to check on something. Bukas pa kami lilipat sa mansion.Paglabas ko ng elevator, tumambad sa akin si George. Galing siya sa unit ni Scarlett. Nagmamadali siyang lumabas pero nang makita niya ako, bigla siyang bumilis maglakad, at sa isang iglap, isang malakas na suntok ang pinakawalan niya.Tumilapon ako. Ramdam ko agad ang sakit, ang bigat ng galit niya."I don’t know if you remember," mariing sabi niya habang ang apoy sa mga mata niya ay parang sasabog, "pero sinabi ko na sa’yo, hindi ko hahayaan na saktan mo si Jessica. Kulang pa ‘yan, Nick!"Hindi ko siya sinagot. Dumiretso ako sa condo, nananahimik. Habang binubuksan ko ang pinto, napansin kong may dugo na pala ang ilong ko. Pero wala akong pakialam. Deserve ko ‘to.Pagpasok ko pa lang, sumunod si George at itinulak ako papasok.Kung normal lang ‘to, baka bumawi na ako. Pero hindi ngayon. Hindi ko kayang sabayan s

Chapter: Chapter 186Nick’s POV"I am sorry I am late."Natigilan ako sa pag-upo nang marinig ko ang boses ng babaeng miss na miss ko na. Pinili kong huwag lumingon, ngunit nagulat ako nang bigla siyang lumapit sa akin at hinalikan ako sa pisngi. "Welcome to the family, Mr. Nicholas Ford," aniya.Tinitigan ko siya, ngunit pagkasabi noon, umalis na siya sa harap ko at nagbeso kina Andrea at sa mommy at daddy niya. Pagkatapos, umupo siya sa harap ko. Then, she smiled to all of us. She gave us a big smile.When I looked at Andrea, who was sitting beside me, I could see her sharp gaze locked on me. Dumilim ang kanyang mukha."Buti naman at nakauwi ka," matigas na sabi ni Mr. Laviste. Napansin ko ring tila umasim ang mukha ni Mrs. Laviste."Yeah, I wouldn’t miss this for the world," matapang na sagot ni Jessica.Lahat kami halos napatigil. Isang matapang at malaking ngiti ang ibinigay niya sa amin. Napansin ko ang gulat sa mukha ni Mrs. Laviste at Andrea. Kahit ako, nagulat sa sagot ni Jessica.She seems diffe

Chapter: Chapter 185Nick’s POV After five days, bumalik na kami sa bansa ni Andrea. It took a while before we came up with a good arrangement. I still remember her outburst… the night she came home drunk.~~~ Flashback: London, 5 Days Ago ~~~Abala ako sa laptop, tuloy-tuloy sa trabaho, nang biglang tumunog ang doorbell. Napatingin ako sa relo, mag-aala-una na ng madaling araw. Saka ko lang naalala si Andrea. Masyado akong nalulong sa trabaho, nakalimutan ko na pala siya.Pagbukas ko ng pinto, isang lasing na Andrea ang bumungad sa akin, nakaupo sa sahig, nakasandal sa dingding, gulo ang buhok, at may hawak pang bote. Natumba pa siya nang bumukas ang pinto. Napailing ako. Hai...Binuhat ko siya papasok at dinala sa kama. Pero bago ko pa siya mailapag ng maayos, bigla niya akong hinila sa kwelyo, at hinalikan ako. Mapusok. Masakit. Puno ng galit.Hinayaan ko lang siya. Hindi ako gumanti ng halik.Bigla niya akong itinulak ng malakas.“Huh! Ang tigas mo talaga… ang sama mo!” singhal niya habang tinititiga

Unstoppable Desire (English)
Like cats and dogs—that’s how Nick and Jessica’s relationship was. Jessica became Nick’s temporary secretary because his male secretary had to take a leave. Nick was allergic to female secretaries, believing that none of them were trustworthy and that they all had hidden agendas. That’s why he never hired a female secretary.
But this time, he had no choice—he couldn’t handle everything on his own without a secretary. And Jessica was the only one available, personally trusted by his best friend, Andrei. Even though he was "allergic," he had to endure it—after all, it was only for three days.
But how could he possibly endure it when, in less than a day, she was already making a mess of things? She was only proving his belief that female secretaries were unreliable.
And how could Jessica prove that she was a professional and skilled secretary if her temporary boss—grumpy and seemingly carrying the weight of the world—had already judged her without giving her a chance?
How long could they put up with each other? And could love possibly bloom when, from the very beginning, they already had the worst impression of one another?

Chapter: Chapter 80Jessica's POVAfter a while, I started enjoying skating. My fear was gone. Rich and I just laughed whenever I fell. Somehow, during those moments, I forgot about Nick. Like now, Rich was happily showing off his skating skills. I could see he really loved skating. I just smiled while watching him, already tired from all the skating. After a few rounds, he skated toward me.“When did you learn how to skate, Rich? You're really good at it,” I asked.“Hmm, let me think.” He stroked his chin like he was deep in thought.“I think I started during elementary. I was challenged to skate because my friends teased me. It took a while before I could skate without holding onto someone,” he said with a smile.“I still remember how many times I fell. Too many to count. I almost gave up. Hehe.”“Did you join competitions?” I asked.“I fell in love with skating, so yes! Eventually, I got good and joined competitions.” Rich’s eyes sparkled as he said that, reminiscing about one of the happiest times in

Chapter: Chapter 79Jessica’s POVI glanced in the direction of Nick and Ate Andrea before getting into the car. I saw how bright her smile was while talking to Nick. I was holding back my tears. It hurt. Nick didn’t even want to listen to me. I sadly got into Rich’s car. Rich looked at me and smiled. "You know what? I know a place where happiness exists," he said cheerfully. I forced a smile."And where’s that?" I asked, a little doubtful. "Trust me! It’s a surprise. So, are you in?" he asked excitedly.It took me a while to answer. Maybe I did need a little distraction. If I went home now, Nick wouldn’t even talk to me. I’d just sulk in my room. It was only seven o’clock. I took a deep breath."Okay, let’s go," I said with a smile.A few moments later, I noticed Rich’s car pulling into a mall. I looked at him curiously."Have you tried skating?" he asked."No," I replied."Come on!" He pulled me toward the skating rink. I noticed there was no one else around. Just us. I looked at him questioningly.

Chapter: Chapter 78Nick’s POV “I think we should eat. The food’s getting cold,” I said firmly. Both Andrea and Jessica looked at me at the same time.“Oh yeah! Sorry, Nick! Let’s eat!” Andrea said sweetly.I was observing Jessica earlier while she was feeling embarrassed by Andrea’s remarks. I think it was a mistake to agree to have dinner with Andrea. Here I go again. Instead of staying mad at Jessica, my protective instincts are kicking in. I hate it when people mistreat her.I kept watching her as she ate. I felt like she hadn’t eaten again. She always does this and it annoys me.“Here, Nick, this one’s really good. Try it,” Andrea offered me some seafood and even peeled it for me. I just let her. “Thank you,” I replied briefly. She smiled at me so beautifully. I saw Jessica shoot a subtle glance at Andrea. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her expression. Then she pouted and quietly kept eating, focusing on her food. I could tell she was slicing her meat with so much intensity.Even the way she was

Chapter: Chapter 77Jessica’s POV I was shocked when I saw Nick entering our company building. I had just returned from lunch and was in the lobby. I was about to greet him, but I noticed the serious look on his face. His eyes narrowed when he saw me, so I stopped walking halfway. Nick really has a strong presence, especially when he’s in business attire. So powerful. I could hear whispers from people behind me.“He’s so handsome! Who is he??”“Oh!? Is that Nicholas Ford? Why is he here? I thought our companies were rivals?” “Damn! He’s even more handsome in person,” someone squealed with excitement. A few moments later, I saw Ate Andrea greet Nick with a smile. She even kissed him on the cheek, and Nick just let her. My fists clenched. “Oh-em-gee… this is hot gossip!! Could Ma’am Andrea be his girlfriend?? Wow! They’re such a perfect match! The Princess of the Construction Business and the King of Design. Perfect combo, even their heights match! Ayiiee, I’m getting giddy,” a flamboyant guy behind me

Chapter: Chapter 76Andrea’s POV Jessica and I arrived at the office at the same time. I could see how downcast she looked, walking into the elevator like she was in a daze. She didn’t even notice me. I smirked in triumph. I know I’ve successfully stirred conflict in their relationship. And I’m just getting started. I won’t let them get back together. I know Jessica, and I know Nick. I can play them both in the palm of my hand. I smiled to myself. Jessica’s steps looked so heavy. She left the elevator without even lifting her head. She just kept looking down. When I arrived at my office, I happily greeted all the employees there. I noticed them exchanging glances. Haha, they’re not used to seeing me cheerful and in a good mood.Once I got into my office, I called my secretary. She came in right away.“Kindly set a meeting with Nicholas Ford of AMT Construction,” I said.“Okay, Miss Laviste.” She was about to leave, but I suddenly thought of a great plan. “Wait! Ask if we could have the meeting here at

Chapter: Chapter 75Dominic's POVWe were still joking around in the pantry with one of the secretaries when we saw Sir enter the office looking grim. We quickly stood up from our seats and rushed to greet him. “Good morning, Sir!!” we greeted him with smiles.“Call the marketing team and the designers. We have an emergency meeting!!!” he said firmly.I felt nervous from Sir Nick’s aura and tone of voice. It’s been a long time since he acted like this. The secretary beside me looked at me with questioning eyes. I simply shrugged in response. I followed behind Sir Nick as he walked into his private office.“Sir, it’s not even eight yet, so some people aren’t in the office yet,” I said. He went straight to his chair and looked through the documents I had placed on his desk.“By the way, I’ve already set an appointment with Sir Carlos San Fernando. He said he’s available tomorrow night.”He looked at me for a long moment before speaking.“We didn’t get the project, so we don’t need a major investor anymor
