Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 12: In Deep Water, In darkness, Everything Failing
Because Adam is a jerk and lacks professionalism, Anna has no choice but to drive herself to the restaurant where she and Antonio will meet. She is unable to wrap her head around how audacious Adam was to behave in such a manner with her. God! After what he's done, he's definitely getting fired.When she enters, a group of bodyguards gathers in front of the restaurant's entrance. Annalia shortly jumped from her car in the parking lot. This restaurant is impressive, and the parking lot does not have to be accessed from the street, which is convenient for high-profile guests like her. As soon as the bodyguards caught sight of Annalia, they made their way toward Anna, ushering and directing her inside the restaurant. Annalia noticed that Antonio was standing there and staring at her with the tiniest smile on his face, although his rugged facial aspect was still very evident.Antonio welcomed Anna by saying, "Hello, Ms. Davis," while extending his arm and opening his palm in a way that s
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 13: Glistened Icy-Gray Eyes
When they arrived at the nearest hospital, Annalia quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to leave the car. However, Adam unexpectedly seized her and prevented her from leaving."No. There are still quite a few people inside, and the situation is extremely precarious, given that the offender of the shooting has not been caught," Adam gasped in pain and hissed due to the wound he got."No, Adam. It's okay. We have no choice but to bring you inside so that the bullet lodged in your arm can be extracted," Anna harped on him. But Adam did nothing more than shake his head and groan at the pain in his arm."Have you given Don a call?""Yes. Don is on his way," Annalia responded with a worried tone. Adam merely nods before leaning his head back on the car seat. Because Adam's face was visibly pale, which caused him to suddenly lose consciousness, Anna rushed over to him."Hey, hey. Look at me. Adam, wake up. I need you to stay with me. I'll leave the car and help you find your way int
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 14: Under the Glow of the Full Moon
"What...what are you doing here?" Adam is taken aback upon first sighting Annalia in front of his home. He then immediately wears his sando shirt, looking at Anna in surprise. How did she get to know his address in the first place? "I believe I heard you were released from the hospital on your own accord. So, I came over to see if... if everything is going well for you," while Annalia spoke, her attention was drawn to the arm sling Adam wore. "Don't worry, I was the one who went through your document to find your address since Don...won't tell me." She continues clenching her knuckles to stop the electric vibration in her palms. The realization that her presence here may cause Adam to become irate has caused her anxiety and fear. It took him some time to react while Anna's gaze remained focused on the arm sling that Adam was wearing. The young man makes her feel too ashamed to stare at him, so she avoids doing so. Fuck! She is now feeling both regret and a sense of realization. Don h
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 15: The Risk That Is Unwilling to Take
As Adam saw Annalia place the meat in the frying pan, he commented, "You really are a good cook." Annalia offered to make him dinner before she planned to leave his house. Adam mentioned to her that he hadn't eaten anything until this evening, which was now eight o'clock. Since there were no cooks or even a maid to take care of him, Anna couldn't say she blamed him. After all, there was no one else here to do it. Also, Annalia asks Adam if he can simply order his people outside to get him food, but he refuses to do so, noting that even if there is food, he can't eat properly due to the wound to his arm. "I learned," is all Annalia has to say in response. Adam stands up and walks toward the refrigerator before he leans against it and turns his head to properly look at her. Adam examined Annalia from her feet all the way up to her face, thinking to himself how stunningly gorgeous she was. Adam caught a lumpy, dry, taut skin on her neck as he continued to stare at her. With a frown, he
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 16: The Boss
"Where did you sleep last night? You actually went to Adam, didn't you? I warned you that it was perilous!" Following Don's preaching, Annalia lets out a deep sigh and rolls her eyes while giving him the side eye. They have arrived at the location where the next set of shots will be taken. To her great relief, she arrived at the company at just the right moment. While traveling from Adam's residence to the workplace, Annalia had severe anxiety because she knew perfectly well that she would be late for the shooting. What can she say; she lucked out. Speaking of Adam, he made the point that he needed a day off before going back to work, and Anna was more than happy to give her approval of his decision. Adam was the one who cooked for them when they had breakfast earlier, and he was the one who made it. Annalia was astounded to see Adam moving around deftly in the kitchen, even though his wound had not yet healed. He assured her that he was feeling absolutely well and that it was not in
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 17: The Game Plan of the Provocation
Silas and Donovan headed to Annalia's penthouse to provide the clothing she would wear to the dinner later tonight. She puts on her platform stiletto heels and her ruched chain dress with a crisscross tie backless and split thigh halter dress after she has completed applying her makeup and putting on all of her accessories. And with that, she is finished. Since Adam is still not here, and Silas has already visited the Delatorre at the venue, Don offered to be the one to drive her to the restaurant on his own. Annalia intended to ask Don whether or not Adam would be present, but she thought that the topic might make him curious and weirded out. When Anna and Donovan arrived at the restaurant, there were no people, which confused her. Is this exclusive for them? Donovan assists Annalia in stepping out of the car, and while she is doing so, she rests her hand on Donovan's forearm and looks around the restaurant. This location is enormous, exudes an air of luxury, and radiates grandeur
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 18: Long-lost Childhood Acquaintances
"How did you get here?" As if he didn't hear a word from Annalia said, Antonio simply gave her a stare of an unknown emotion Annalia barely noticed. He did not respond for a couple of seconds. "I followed you," Antonio said dismissively. "Yeah, I see that," she says, "but why?" Antonio stated, "I was worried if you were okay." Annalia frowned, but she quickly dismissed him by shaking her head. "Why would you ask that?" Annalia chuckles at the thought of the statement. She is aware of Antonio's reason to worry, but she must be careful not to appear to be affected by his father, even though she is confident of what is on his mind. While grabbing her phone from her purse, Annalia walks past Antonio. She heard Antonio sigh as he followed after her. "Nothing. I was just wondering if you are, Ann." Annalia stops walking upon hearing Antonio calls her name...for the first time. She pivots to take a gander at Antonio, her eyes grave. Perceiving how Antonio responded, Anna appears to bef
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 19: In Complete Solitude in a Blissful Evening
Don asks in a low voice, "Are you all right, Ann?" Though Annalia did not want to, he offered to help her leave the restaurant by walking her. After what happened with Adam, she returned to their table hastily and informed the gentlemen that she was going home. She disregards the fact that Antonio is nowhere to be found. He might have been upset from earlier.She answered promptly, "I'm alright. Just a little weary." Annalia still gets a sharp pain in her hands and an electric tingle as she recalls what Adam said. She went outside with Don, but thankfully she didn't see him. Annalia was expecting Adam to appear outside the restaurant or perhaps in the parking lot to beg her forgiveness once more. Though he would never do it, she was expecting the seemingly impossible. Despite not personally knowing Adam, she can read emotions from someone's eyes. And, though Adam wasn't aware of it, Annalia recognized how misled and disappointed he felt. Perhaps the strain of waiting for her is too m

Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 107: A Happy Ending
Present… Two months had passed since Annalia's awakening, and during that time, she had made remarkable progress in her recovery. Her physical wounds had healed, and she had regained her strength and vitality. With the help of physical therapy and regular check-ups with her doctors, she was well on her way to returning to her old self. Adam, Silas, and Don had been by her side every step of the way, providing emotional support and encouragement. They had all but put their lives on hold to focus on Annalia's recovery, and it had paid off. They were proud of her progress and knew that she was a fighter. On the other hand, after spending some time in Switzerland, visiting the gravesite of his dear friend who had passed away, Adam was excited to return home to the Philippines. Although the trip had been emotionally difficult, it had also given him a sense of closure and peace. As he packed his bags and prepared to leave, he thought back on the years he had spent in Switzerland, struggl
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 106: She's Awake
Adam didn't realize that he had fallen asleep and thankfully the nurse woke him up. He is not allowed to stay inside. When Adam got out, he immediately saw Don and Silas sitting on a bench. Adam couldn't look at them because he was so ashamed and sorry for what he did."Adam," Silas called him. "What happened? What did the doctor say?”The three of them looked at each other before Adam glanced at Annalia from the outside."She's pregnant. 2 weeks," Adam softly said. He knew Don and Silas already knew that that's why he didn't expect a reaction from them. Adam looked back at Don before lowering his gaze to surprise the two."What, Adam? What happened? Why is she lying there?” Don continuously asked."She had surgery because of the internal bleeding caused by force trauma," Adam started explaining. He can hear them cursing Marcel while Don punched the wall beside him. Adam continued speaking, "She didn't have a pulse when I saved her and brought her here to the hospital, but they manage
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 105: I Owe You
Adam waited anxiously for hours outside the operating room, his mind racing with a thousand different scenarios. Finally, the door swung open, and the doctor emerged, looking exhausted.Adam approached the doctor nervously and asked, "Is she okay?"The doctor looked at him for a moment before replying, "Yes, she is. But there were some complications during the surgery. We managed to resolve them, but it was touch and go for a while there."Adam felt a wave of relief wash over him as he heard the doctor's words. Knowing that Annalia was okay and that the surgery had gone well lifted a heavy weight off his chest. He had been so worried during the long hours of waiting, fearing the worst, but now he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders."Thank goodness," he said, his voice shaking slightly. "I was so worried."But now until Adam saw how the doctor's face turned serious; Adam's heart skipped a beat. "There's something else I need to tell you.” The doctor said, his tone gra
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 104: Two Months Ago
Marcel was swift on his feet and managed to break free, fleeing from the scene with all his might. As soon as Marcel broke free and attempted to escape, Don and Silas sprang into action, pursuing him with all their might. They were equally quick to give chase, At the same time, they gave orders to Adam's men to prepare for Marcel's capture, instructing them to secure the area and prevent him from running. “Delatorre! Don’t you ever think of escaping from us!” Don shouted using the horn speaker. With the police close behind him and Don and Silas closing in from either side, Marcel's options were limited. He looked around frantically, searching for any means of escape, but it was clear that he was trapped. As he realized that he had nowhere left to run, he slowed down and eventually came to a stop, panting heavily. Despite Marcel's attempts to outrun his pursuers, his luck had run out, and he was apprehended by the officers alongside Don and Silas. It was clear that his attempted esca
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 103: Stay With Me
Adam went to the abandoned house by himself, his mind consumed with guilt over the terrible deed he had committed. He had killed Annalia's family and knew he could never make amends for his actions. As he walked through the darkened halls of the empty house, Adam could feel the weight of his guilt pressing down on him. The memories of that fateful night played over and over in his mind, tormenting him with the knowledge of what he had done. He had thought that killing Annalia's family was the only way to protect his father from the danger Marcel posed, but now he knew that he had been wrong. The guilt of his actions was overwhelming, and he felt as though he could never be forgiven. But still, he continued through the abandoned house, searching for her. This is the only way he could do to Annalia after what he had done to her. Perhaps, he thought, if he could find some way to atone for his sins, he could finally find some peace. As he walked, his mind raced with thoughts of what he
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 102: Kidnapped
"It's been a while since I called you that," Marcel said, provoking Annalia to remember her past. And he was winning because she remembers her past when this monster destroyed her. "I have known your true form for a long time—one of the children of one Armand Vergara, my brother." Yes, the only sibling you ever had and killed, you monster! Annalia's mind is in chaos, she wants to attack Marcel and kill him on the spot, but she stops herself from doing so. "But thanks to your father's uncle, Philip Vergara, I was able to find out about the only child of my brother being alive. Apparently, you took all the possessions of the Vergara and made him insane.” The way Marcel said is as if he was blaming her for getting and inheriting the riches of his father. It was hers before and why the hell would she steal it? She didn't! Suddenly, a realization hit Annalia. Don and Silas… They are the ones who keep it. "But money is power, right? People can be bought anytime," Marcel said. This time he
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 101: Heather Vergara
For the past few days, Annalia isolated herself from work and people that even Don couldn't stop her as well. She went through a lot of researching, seeking, and investigating Marcel and his family. He needs to get information that is very much needed for her plan again. And for her career, Annalia is aware that her career is slowly being crushed by the number of scandals exposed by the media, people, and Marcel. She knew Marcel is still doing his job to bring down her career totally. And right now, she doesn't care anymore. She can take it back either way. And for Marcel, she'll make sure Marcel won't get what will destroy him. "Annalia, it's already late at the midnight. You should take a rest," Don said when he saw Anna busy with her laptop. She is currently staying at their residence, the Santiago mansion. Annalia knew that when she was there in her penthouse, the paparazzi and media might follow her. Worse could happen in that place. "I am fine, Don. I slept earlier in the afte
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 100: The Serpent of the Tree and Heir
While everyone was celebrating, Marcel couldn't know what he was feeling. Everything seems moving so slowly and their voices echo loudly in Marcel's ears. Armand never spoke this to me. He thought to himself. Marcel watched everyone being happy and clapping at the announcement made by his brother, Armand. But he was the only one who didn't feel happy about this news. Marcel became anxious as many situations played in his brain as if he already knew what would happen in the future. "Dad? Are you okay?" Antonio's voice brought Marcel back to reality. "Huh?" "We're going to take pictures. Come on, everyone is waiting for you," Antonio said as he turned his attention to the people who were laughing as they took positions one by one for the picture taking. "Marcel, brother! Come here!" Armand called him. Marcel cleared his throat and forcefully smiled at his brother. "O-oh yes. I'll be there," Marcel uttered. Marcel fixed his suit while dismissing those thoughts. Maybe he can talk to
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 99: A Toss of Celebration
6 years ago… The mansion of the Vergara family was busy preparing for the celebration they will have this evening. Apparently, Armand wanted to have a special event before he'll announce the important announcement to his family and the people. His wife, Lorraine Vergara, was in the kitchen helping their cook and maids with the preparation. She also wanted to cook her specialty, the adobo, which is her family's favorite. On the other hand, his children also helped arrange the furniture in the living room and decorate the flowers—which were ordered by their mother. Heather, their youngest, was in the garden cleaning the dried fallen leaves and also cutting the long grass. She always enjoys helping their maids in cleaning their garden. Armand smiled watching his family being busy helping the people in their house. That's what makes him proud of his family. Despite being blessed with privileges, they are still able to help others whether they are maids or strangers. "Sir, where should we
