Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 42: A Lifeline In a Sea of Chaos
Annalia went totally still as she took in what she had just seen, and she reflexively put both palms to her lips while her eyes widened in panic. Her body appeared frozen even though she was trembling. Annalia could see how the scourge weapon struck Adam as he coughed up blood. On Adam's bare torso, the bruises and cuts caused by the spikes of the lash were glaringly obvious. She desperately tried to go to the young man but she could not. Her mind could not absorb what she was seeing at this very moment. Annalia had only been waiting by the front door for a few seconds when she heard the sound of a car horn. She slipped away in a hurry and hid in an utterly dark room. It had tarps that covered the shattered objects inside. She was trying not to make any noise, so she covered her mouth to conceal her heavy breathing. "Where is he?" After hearing that voice, Annalia's eyes widened in disbelief and confusion as she processed what she had just heard. It turned out to be Antonio's voice!
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 43: Behind Closed Doors
The following morning, Annalia was the first one awake, and she started the day off right by preparing Adam's breakfast. He had not yet stirred from his restful slumber. The fact that Adam was able to sleep despite his situation frightened and surprised Annalia. She was concerned that he might not be able to get a good night's sleep due to the circumstances, but the young man gave her the impression that he was accustomed to them. According to what Annalia overheard yesterday, Marcel does this to Adam rather frequently, and Adam, for some reason that she does not truly grasp, only puts up with what Marcel does to him. After preparing the food and placing it on the tray, Annalia proceeded to her room to deliver the food to Adam. Perhaps he is awake at this point. When she opened the door, she noticed Adam watching the scene outside while standing at the floor window. Since nothing was covering him, Annalia was able to see the wounds and blood on his back quite vividly. "Hey," Annalia
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 44: Right Time
"Are you sure it's time for you to go home?" Annalia asked with some trepidation. Despite having witnessed Adam in his current state, Annalia continues to harbor concerns regarding the potential scenarios that can happen worse for his condition. What happens if the young man's wound doesn't get better? Annalia could not help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness. "It's okay." Adam's only response to her concern. It appears that he is still putting himself some distance from Anna at this point. Anna formed this perception because, despite her best efforts to seem as if nothing had transpired between them, Adam continued to treat her in a manner that was diametrically opposed to how she was behaving toward him. Annalia had no intention of paying attention to it, but she couldn't help but do so simply because she was distracted. Annalia wants to tell the young man that Marcel might find him, or that Marcel might already be at Adam's house, waiting for him, and that Marcel might do some
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 45: Checkmate In Sight
After a long and exhausting day, Annalia finally makes it back to her penthouse. After she had left Adam's home, she decided to return to her own mansion, where she and Adam had stayed the night before. She still had some belongings there. Now, she has returned to the city. After noticing the group of bodyguards approaching her, Annalia quickly exits the vehicle and walks toward them. They all greeted her, and one of them started driving the car to ensure that it was placed in the appropriate space in the parking lot. As soon as Annalia walked into the building, she raised her eyebrows when she saw a person she recognized having a conversation with the front desk officer. She started walking in the direction of the man, and it's probably that he quickly sensed her presence, which is why he turned to look at her. What business does he have in this building? Despite her uncertainty and the many concerns that arose from her encounter with Marcel in this building, Annalia decided to exte
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 46: Investigation
"Yet again, Marcel Delatorre is caught while engaged in the commission of unlawful actions. It was during the alleged launch of DLT Resto that the incident that resulted in the confiscation of illegal and unpermitted weaponry that the photographs in question were taken. According to one article that went viral on the internet, firearms could have been one of the contributing factors that led to the incident. It was revealed that Marcel Delatorre was once more the subject of an investigation." Annalia took her time as she painstakingly applied her dark red lipstick while she listened to the news. Every word Annalia listened to was like a piece of music to her ears, and she could hear it over and over again. Jack Will eventually carried out the final step of the plan five days ago, immediately after the situation with Marcel began to calm down gradually. The goal was straightforward. Jack would lead Marcel to believe that one of his rivals in the sector was responsible for putting him
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 47: Threatened
"Adam, I was not aware that you had made this location your main headquarters. I had forgotten that you had your own somewhere to stay whenever the situation became more severe. "As Marcel observed, his comments were very critical. Adam's teeth were tightened because he knew Marcel was trying to convey meaning with his words. "I'm disappointed you did. All this time, I've been looking forward to seeing you. I suppose I ought to be grateful that you gave me sufficient time to recover, correct?" Adam's tone was scornful when he uttered those words. He saw how Marcel's mouth turned down into an arrogant sneer as one of the corners of Marcel's lips curved up. Adam smiled and turned his head in Antonio's direction, indicating that he had noticed his presence. Antonio did not show any emotion as he simply stared at him. Marcel's question was directed at Adam in a harsh and authoritative tone, and he asked, "Why do you feel the need to hide, Adam?" As Adam stared at Marcel with an expressio
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 48: Five Minutes
Annalia approached their table with a triumphant smirk on her face. But she abruptly turned around to face whoever had grabbed her arm. Caroline's anger was through the roof as she clenched her fist around Annalia's wrist even more tightly. Annalia's brows furrow as she tries to ignore the pain caused by Caroline's grip. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Annalia spoke in a harsh whisper. She turned her attention to her immediate surroundings and noticed that a few employees of the restaurant were looking in their direction. But Caroline did not move at all. She didn't appear to care whether other people were already looking at them. Even though Caroline works in Paris, there is no denying that she is recognized in the Philippines as a successful Filipino model due to the success of her modeling career. Perhaps these individuals are familiar with Caroline, but she acts as if there is no significance to the fact that her name is at the center of a scandal. Well, Anna is different. Sh
Annalia's Perfect Seduction CHAPTER 49: In The Swing of Things
Annaliza felt much better when she woke up. Following the chat she had with Adam the previous evening, the thorn in her heart appears to have faded. She recalled Adam's explanation that what had occurred was due to Adam's negligence in handling the situation. Marcel carries out the punishment for his people since it is how he deals with his anger and disappointment, which is by punishing those under his command. Annalia didn't ask him and just let Adam talk. Even though Anna detects the young man hesitating to disclose information from time to time, Anna pretends she doesn't notice because she understands there are things Adam doesn't want to reveal. Also, Anna is clueless about the cause of Adam's behavior. But she is convinced that he is attempting to look out for the sake of another person by keeping that information to himself. She was saddened by it. Yet she understood where he was coming from. Yes, she always does. The morning arrived, and it was time for her to start getting r

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
