GIDEON pounded the punching bag in front of him with punches and kicks. He looked more menacing because of the sweat on his forehead and chest. His hand and arm swelled visibly, revealing bulging veins.

He had a three-year-old daughter. And for the second time, he had no idea of his child’s existence. How long would the people around him make him feel like he didn’t deserve to be a father?

When he saw that little girl at the mall weeks ago, he was damn confused. Carollete was right. He resembled that little girl. She had a set of deep brown eyes just like him. Her eyes symbolized that she had Vesarius' blood. However, that little girl slipped into his mind when his father got hospitalized, and with all his business meetings he had to attend in Davao, and when he met Lyzza.

He only remembered that little girl again when he saw the name of the boutique where he met Summer. Adamant to know more information about that little girl that piqued his interest, he hired a private investigator w

    AFTER two days, Lyzza received a notice letter from Gideon’s lawyer.The letter stated that Gideon wanted to take custody of Summer.Her gaze went to the bed, where she watched how her daughter squealed when Gideon tickled her tummy. In an instant, Summer became a daddy’s girl. Lyzza could still recall the trace of joy on her daughter’s face when she woke up and saw Gideon, her father.Even though she was still weak, she managed to play and talk to her father.“Daddy, no! I won’t do it anymore. I surrender. No!” Summer screamed, giggling.Gideon chuckled and scooped Summer up in his arms. The little girl wrapped her arms around her father’s neck tenderly. Gideon then kissed Summer’s forehead and engulfed her in a warm hug.Seconds later, Summer waved as she looked at her. “Mommy!”Lyzza smiled at her daughter. She just got back from her flight and went to the hospital right away. Her mom, and Gideon did not agree at the idea of her taking a leave of absence from her internship at the

    “GOOD morning, Daddy.”“Did you already eat breakfast? I can cook you a pancake at home.”“I like that, Daddy!”“Alright, baby. Let’s just wait for your nurse.” Their daughter nodded obediently which made Gideon smile. Then, his eyes bore into her. “Are you going to the airlines today?”She nodded in response.“Fix yourself, then. I’ll call someone to drive you there,”he said in a low voice.She didn’t say a word as she felt something that just clicked inside her head. She quickly took a shower and got dressed afterwards. They occupied one of the VIP rooms in the hospital as Gideon preferred. Summer’s hospital bills were paid in full. The man didn’t allow her to spend a single penny for it. Even their food was paid for by him. Whenever they didn’t feel like eating the meals in the hospital, Gideon would send someone to buy them food in expensive restaurants.And her shameless brother, Cauis, seemed to love what was going on. He even had Gideon’s phone number. Caius was the one who alw

    “EXPLAIN what has just happened!”Ms. Helen’s angry voice boomed when they entered her office.“She was the one who started it!” Jhaica pointed at her. “She slapped me. I was just asking her if she was going home. She told me to fuck off and then attacked me.”“You’re such a liar! I’m sure you are bullying Lyz again! You’ve done this before!” Quincy Mae said, defending her.Lyzza could only shake her head to keep herself awake. She was getting weaker, almost slouching in her seat. The heat coursing through her body was so intense that she felt like passing out.“Is that true, Ms. Pacammara?”She wasn’t able to answer and just hugged herself. Ms. Helen’s office was extremely cold. Her blouse was torn, revealing her chest and stomach. She could feel the cold crawling across every bit of her skin.“Ma’am, can I take Lyz to the clinic first? She’s really not feeling well.” Quincy Mae’s voice was very concerned.The door swung open, making all of them turn to it.Gideon’s eyes roamed aroun

    LYZZA kept looking at her cellphone while waiting in the waiting lounges of Vesarius airlines. It was past five in the afternoon, and she’d been waiting for Gideon’s driver, who had picked her up for the past three days.Nelson didn’t send her a text saying he couldn’t pick her up, so she wondered why he hadn’t arrived until now.“Lyz!” Quincy Mae waved to her, dragging her suitcase while running towards her.“Hey!” She glanced at her.“Are you going to the anniversary?”“I do not know. Isn’t it going to be a night party? I’m afraid Summer will look for me.”Her friend was referring to the airline’s foundation anniversary that would be held on Saturday. Earlier that morning, Ms. Helen informed them that interns were all invited to that party. In fact, all employees were always invited whenever the company held anniversaries. They were told that this year’s party wouldn’t be just a simple party as an auction for charity would also be held by the Vesarius family.“Why don’t you take Sum

    GIDEON stopped his car in front of a huge house—no, it was a mansion—in an exclusive subdivision. Summer, who was still on her lap until now, peered excitedly through the car window.“Daddy, your house is big!” Summer said, almost shrieking, and pressed her face even closer to the window.“Do you like it?”She turned to her father and nodded quickly, which made Gideon laugh softly.Lyzza could only suck in a deep breath. It was supposed to be an amusing laugh but came out sounding so sexy in her ears. She almost shivered when her hair stood on end because of that sexy, tempting laugh.“Our house is beautiful too, but this is more beautiful, isn’t it, Mommy?”She stared at her little daughter and gave her a small smile.“Yes, but didn’t I tell you to be happy with what you have right now?”The little girl nodded kindly and kissed her on the lips. She also planted a soft kiss on her daughter’s forehead before looking at Gideon.“Do your parents know that I’m coming? I mean, we’re coming

    ‘GIDEON has a wife and I’m her mistress…’It was the first thought that came into her mind when she saw the wedding picture hidden in the drawer. The lady in the photo was beautiful—no, extremely beautiful. And she was not that dumb to deny the obvious fact that it was Gideon’s wedding.She quickly returned the picture frame back to its own place when she heard the doorknob move. The timing was just right when she reached the bed and lay beside Summer as the door opened and Gideon came in.He was in his gray pajamas and shirt. His hair was messy and looked like it was done on purpose to add more to his appeal. His deep brown eyes bore on her and she instantly looked away. She secretly bit the insides of her cheek when he caught her stealing glances at him.Yes, she was shy even though Gideon kept giving her glances too.She slightly raised the blanket up to her shoulders before she faced Summer’s direction and gave her a hug. She closed her eyes and listened closely to the steps of th

    WITH the bouquet in her hands, Lyzza walked down the red carpet that led to the altar, where Gideon was standing in his gorgeous white tuxedo while staring directly at her.“You have a very handsome husband-to-be, sweetheart. My granddaughter really has his eyes,” her mother whispered silently while walking beside her.“Mom.” She giggled and held her arm more tightly. “I’ll only get married. It’s not like I will get out of the country and we won’t see each other for ten years.”Her mother gave her a tiny pinch from behind. “You’re silly!”She didn’t respond because she knew her mother must be really happy for her and her daughter. Summer waved cutely at her when they passed by the kid, sitting right beside Gideon’s parents. The little girl even gave her a flying kiss that made her laugh.Her daughter looked extremely pretty in her blue-colored dress, which was also the theme of their wedding. Her hair was tied up just like hers, which made her fair complexion stand out. Her cheeks wer

    GIDEON couldn’t take his hands off Lyzza’s waist even though they were already seated at the center couch made specifically for the newlyweds. He couldn’t stop himself from giving her tiny glances from time to time. Her eyes were glowing—she was glowing. The wedding gown he chose really suited her beauty. Carollette even got mad at him for choosing a different dress for Lyzza to wear.His sister wanted Lyzza to wear an off-shoulder dress; he didn’t have any idea what the girls called it. All that he knew was that the dress would flaunt her shoulders once she wore it. He strongly disagreed with his sister’s choice and chose a more decent-looking gown instead.The program just got finished, and the visitors ate their meals right after. Lyzza was eating her slice of cake and feeding her daughter at the same time. Her baby sat on his lap as she ate.“Sweetheart, should I get you a cake for yourself?” he asked her daughter when he noticed how Summer ate all the cake she had for his wife.H

Gideon nodded at him.The two hugged man-to-man before he waved three key cards like those seen in hotels."The house is ready. I already installed a security system throughout the mansion. The roof and walls are bulletproofed just like you like." He then looked at her and Summer too. "Welcome to Northsire Town.""Thanks, Cale. I owe you, man.""Daddy, I won. I won." A young boy ran out of the mansion carrying a tablet.Summer let go of her father's leg and raised an eyebrow when she saw Giovanni. The young boy was also surprised to see Summer, but he quickly rolled his eyes at her little girl.Summer's eyes shone with determination. Giovanni ignored her, and looked back at his father.

"She's pretty."Lyzza didn't hear any response from her husband, and instead he started the car engine."So, she's pretty, right?"Gideon glanced at her and raised both eyebrows, annoying her.Unable to resist, she smacked him hard on the arm, but he didn't even flinch."Strawberry." His voice had a threatening tone, but it was still affectionate.Damn! He was teasing her and still being sweet! How could that be possible?"You're annoying! She's your mistress, right?" She accused him and pointed at him.He looked at her while slowing down the car until it came to a complete stop before they even left the Vesarius Airlines compound.She let out a scream when Gideon suddenly grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately."Hmp..." She tried to push him away.His kiss was intense, and she was getting excited again."Ouch!" she complai

    EXTRA CHAPTER 1Lyzza ran towards Vesarius Airlines because she was already late for her first flight that morning. Emer and his companion, a guy named Paul with no eyebrows, were running after her."Ma'am, please don't run," Emer said like a worried father because of her stubbornness.Well, she couldn’t deny that she was really stubborn most of the time."I’m good. Stay there. Bye!" Lyzza shouted and managed to wave at them while pulling her suitcase. "Tell Gideon I’ll kick her ass when I get back."She chuckled as she left the two bodyguards outside, scratching their heads because they couldn't enter the boarding gate anymore. Ever since she remarried Gideon, she felt like a queen with bodyguards wherever she went.If it wasn't Emer and Paul guarding her, her husband was always trailing her like she was going to run away. Where could she go that he didn't know about? Gideon was really paranoid, even though he knew for himself that she was madly in love with him."Mrs. Vesarius!" Qui

    EPILOGUEWatching his wife laugh with her friends, Gideon couldn’t help but smile at the scene in front of him. The way Lyzza laughed and teased her friends made his heart go into a summersault."Man, are you even listening?" Alejandro irritably asked him.He turned to look at him and just raised the corner of his lips upon seeing the annoyance on his face."What?""Fuck you!" Alejandro raised his middle finger. "I've been talking here for a while now."Riguel and Spiel, who were beside him, laughed. Annoyed, Alejandro stood up, took off his suit jacket, and threw it at him. Gideon quickly dodged it and threw it back at the asshole. He was annoyed as Alejandro locked his neck in his arm, like when they were still in military school. Riguel and Spiel chuckled as Gideon tried to remove Alejandro’s hand from his neck."Riguel, bud. Hold this bastard's hand. I'll kick his ass. This is my chance."And because Riguel was also a king of mischief, he stood up and followed what Alejandro said.

    "Do you not have anything to say?" Gideon asked her as she only continued to stare at him, her eyes widening.She blinked slowly and closed her mouth. She pressed her palms against his chest to raise herself slightly."W-What did you say?" She couldn't believe it. The strong thumping of her heart was like a drum that deafened her.Gideon's face turned red, and despite her confused feelings, she couldn't help but chuckle."Are you blushing?"Her teasing remark made him blush even more, causing his ears and neck to turn red. He looked away from her, but his hand tightened around her waist."You're blushing," he said, trying to ease the tension with her laughter. She held his ears.Gideon almost jumped in surprise, which made her laugh even louder."Strawberry," he warned her.However, his authoritative tone did not deter her. She gasped as he tightened his grip on her waist, and in a blink of an eye, their positions changed. His large body pressed against hers while his hands captured h

    Lyzza scratched Gideon's back when she reached her climax countless times that night. She was already exhausted, but Gideon continuously moved and thrust inside of her. Her lips would part every time he went deeper inside her, giving her a pleasure only her husband could provide.The delicious feeling of him inside her made her crazy. It was giving her an incredible sensation that felt like sending her to paradise—and only Gideon had the ability to make her feel that way. He was the only one."F*ck, f*cking delicious," Gideon cursed hoarsely as he moved above her. He thrust faster that she could feel her nails digging into his skin. She felt a familiar sensation in her abdomen and moaned his name as he hit her G-spot."Oh…Gideon," she moaned loudly, and she couldn’t recognize her voice.He hit her g-spot, which made her roll her eyes with so much pleasure. She bit her lower lip firmly when he went deeper inside of her again."You like that? Do you like it? F*ck, I love this so much,"

    Lyzza peeked through the window when she heard a commotion downstairs. Someone was shouting at the gate, and the bodyguards were alerted. There was no one in the mansion but her and the servants.Her mother and Caius arrived at the penthouse a few days ago, and their eyes showed a mix of surprise and happiness upon seeing her again. Like Summer, her mother cried and hugged her tightly. She sobbed and kissed her face like a child. Caius, on the other hand, quietly cried when Lyzza hugged him.Afterwards, they went back to Vesarius Mansion. Mommy Gerona nearly fainted when she saw her again, and Carollete almost choked her when her sister-in-law hugged her tightly."Gideon Vesarius, come out! You killed my daughter," the man outside angrily shouted and tried to push through the bodyguards."Ester, who is outside?" she asked the passing butler.Ester approached her and took a peek. "Is that Mariz's father? Yes, that's him.""Mariz's father?" She was taken aback and stared at the man outs

    "The report is with me, bud," Alejandro said as he opened the door. "The old woman and the neighbors confirmed that your wife was found by the seaside. She was asleep for a few months in the small hospital on the island. The old woman named Erlinda is a simple high school teacher, it’s understandable that she doesn’t have enough money to put your wife in the big and better hospital."Gideon took the folder that Alejandro handed him and read Lyzza's records in the small infirmary on the island. His suspicions were confirmed. She ended up on that island after falling off a cliff."She's here in Manila with the old woman's son. The name is Senen, and he is one of the representatives of the academic contest... something, I don’t know.""A man?" he asked bitterly. Of all the things Alejandro said, Lyzza's companion's name was the only thing that caught his attention."Yes, he’s currently staying at the hotel. Stop your sh*t ass from being jealous.""I'm not," he countered.Alejandro chuckl

    After her CT scan, the doctor immediately read her test result. It was clear, and there were no problems found in her head. As the previous doctor who examined her on the island said, the blow to her head was the reason why she couldn't remember anything. Her memories will come back, and it will help if she's with the people who are a part of her life.Summer didn't leave her side, even when they were eating at an expensive restaurant in the city. The little girl sat on her lap and hugged her tightly. Lyzza, on the other hand, couldn’t help but kiss Summer’s hair, and if Gideon wasn't looking, she might have cried too.She missed Summer so much and wanted to shower her with kisses. But the man who wouldn't stop staring at her might notice.Lyzza thought it was fine; she'll just kiss her baby when Gideon is not around."Mommy, I love you. I miss you so much," Summer said in a sweet voice, kissing her on the cheek.She tried to hold back a big smile and returned the affection subtly. Sh
