Billionaire's Untainted Love (ENGLISH) C21 - Don’t tell anyone.
"Allison!" Shanna hugged her tightly. She burst into tears, causing everyone’s surprise. To give them privacy, Bea allowed them to leave the event first.Ally had no choice. She wanted to appear strong in front of Ethan's cousin, who had become a real friend to her in a short time, but tears were the only response she could give to Shanna’s childlike crying.Right. Besides her family and Ethan, she also hurt Shanna when she suddenly disappeared from their lives. Probably Zion and Leio too, not to mention Kattie and Michael.God, how selfish and cruel had she been? What kind of friend was she?"Ally, I’m so glad to see you again!" Shanna held her hands while still sobbing. "I searched for you, did you know? I didn’t believe Ethan. I knew you wouldn’t leave without a serious reason. And I was right.""I'm sorry," Ally apologized. Shanna deserved her apology. She shouldn’t have included her from the people she chose to leave. But at that time, cutting everyone off from her life made se

Shanna became a regular visitor to Ally. Since learning about her situation, she made it a point to visit her to chat and lift her spirits. She also made a significant contribution to the shelter. And when Ally suddenly had trouble with a sponsor, Shanna volunteered to step in, even though Ally initially didn’t want to.But Shanna insisted. Ally allowed it, because whether she admitted it or not, she needed help. Even if it was just to extend her life a little bit longer, even if it meant her friend was throwing away her money. "I visited Auntie and Ky," Shanna said. She even took on the responsibility for her family. "How are they?" Ally asked."They're okay. Auntie is improving. In fact, she’s able to move around the house now. And Ky, her grades are really high. She’s making us proud," Shanna replied. Ally tried to smile. But the truth was, she wanted to cry. She missed her family. She felt like she had failed them. She hadn’t achieved any of their dreams. She was a failure. S

"Do you want to tell me something, Ethan?"Shanna followed him as he stepped outside. He rested his arms on the glass railings of the third floor. From above, he could see what was happening in the bar below. He and his friends didn't mingle with strangers. They weren’t regular bar-goers. They only turned their private booth into a hideout."I feel like you have something you want to say but you’re hesitant," his cousin said, joining him. "Spill it, Ethan. Don't keep me guessing.""In this place, Shanna?" He asked. They couldn’t even hear each other clearly.Besides, if he were to talk to her, it wouldn’t be now when he had no proof of her mishandling the company’s money."Why not?" Just then, a bar attendant passed by them. "Hey, excuse me, give us a booth, please?""One moment, Ms. Montenegro," the attendant responded.He looked at his cousin.Shanna had grown up close to him. Among all his relatives, she was the only one he had a close bond with.Shanna wasn’t the only child of hi

He was only abroad for three days, but Ethan felt like he had been gone for three months, given the pile of work awaiting him.Andrea was disappointed that he treated New York like a province due to the short trip. When he and Felicity arrived, it was already his mother’s birthday. Then, the next day, they left. Moreover, why would they stay longer if Andrea didn’t even manage to smile at Felicity, even if it was just a fake smile? His poor girlfriend had been nervous the entire time.Ethan even had jet lag from the rapid time zone changes. But he still went to the office. He was never one to take a meaningless rest when he had more important work to do. That’s how his wealth was built. That’s how one distances oneself from past events that couldn’t be changed.Another reason he chose not to rest was Michael’s message that the investigation into Shanna had results.He couldn’t understand it, but he had a bad feeling about what he was about to learn. What had Shanna done this time? Was

"Shanna!" Allison didn't hide the disappointment in her voice at what her friend had said.Ethan was there with her. But he hadn't entered her room yet because Shanna was still asking for her permission."I'm sorry, Ally. I know I promised you," Shanna said gently, apologizing. "But believe me, you and Ethan need this. You have to let go of the pain in your heart.""You don’t understand!" Allison insisted. She didn't want to get angry with Shanna, but she was upset that Shanna disrespected her request not to tell Ethan about her condition. "I have my reasons, Shanna! And they’re valid. Now tell me, what will happen next? I don’t want to disrupt Ethan’s life! I didn’t hide for so long just to show up to him when I’m about to die…""No, please. Don’t always say that, Ally," Shanna pleaded, her own tears coming before Allison’s.She knew Shanna meant well by bringing Ethan there. But Shanna had to accept the truth that she was dying, and not even Ethan could change that. Allison just wan

"When will you face Mr. Montenegro? He just keeps coming back here," Yanah asked her.She was referring to Ethan, who was waiting in the shelter’s lobby, hoping she might finally decide to face him."Let him be," she replied. "No one asked him to do that."She turned to go back to her room. She was about to leave earlier while Yanah was assisting her, but when she saw Ethan, she changed her mind.A week after his first visit there with Shanna, Ethan had never missed a day at the shelter. Every day, he hoped she would finally meet him. But Ally’s heart was as hard as stone. She remained resolute in her decision not to show herself to Ethan.The truth was, when she first saw him, she wanted desperately to go to him. She missed him so much that no words could describe the emotions she fought to keep from showing.She loved Ethan, and even the word “love” was an understatement of how much he meant to her. That’s why, even though it hurt, she didn’t want to let him back into her life. She

“Did I scare you?” She asked Ethan.“Not a bit,” Ethan denied.When Ally woke up, she saw Ethan, who had fallen asleep at the side of her bed, holding one of her hands.He wasn’t kidding. He still loved her. She could feel it. She knew Ethan well. He wouldn’t waste his time coming here every day if she weren’t important to him. He was still the man she had loved and left two years ago.The same Ethan who was willing to defy even his own parents just to keep her in his life.He was the man who would move mountains just to be with her. But he was also the one she was trying to protect the most. She made the hardest decision when she left him because she didn’t want him to lose her through death. She thought that if he believed she no longer loved him, he would move on more quickly if he was angry.Compared to knowing she wanted to fight but that death would separate them.Then again, it seemed she had underestimated his love for her.“You’re lying,” she insisted. She knew he was scared.

"I'm sorry, Ethan. I overslept," Felicity apologized as she arrived.He stood up, pulled a chair for her, and gently planted a kiss on her cheek."It's fine, Siti," he replied, returning to his seat."So, why did you move our date to breakfast? You know I'm not a morning person. But don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining," she said with a smile. Maybe she was just really curious.He gave a slow smile, contemplating how to tell her that he wanted to end things with her."I know that smile, Ethan," Felicity said, her smile fading. For a moment, Ethan thought she looked insecure. "I hope I'm wrong. But I'm starting to feel uneasy about this breakfast. You have something to tell me, don’t you?""How about we eat first?" he said gently. He didn’t want to break up with her before they had even had a meal.Felicity nodded, but she looked sad. The confident smile she had when she arrived was gone.They ate in silence. Although he occasionally asked her about her work, her answers were short.

"Sis, you have a visitor again," Kyla joked, rolling her eyes as she returned to where she had left her, with Ethan, who had just left for work an hour ago. "Let me clean up so you and your suitor can have some privacy," she continued, taking away the dishes."Thanks for the privacy, Ky! What do you want as a reward, in kind or cash?" Ethan chimed in, playfully."You've already paid enough, bro," Kyla said with a sincere smile before leaving them alone.The three of them knew what Kyla meant. With Ethan’s love for her, her mother, and sister alone was worth far more than any payment. He was family.Ethan smiled at her. The kind of smile that made her fall for him repeatedly. Even though he was already her husband, whenever he looked at her, Ally still felt butterflies in her stomach.She still felt giddy even though she knew his eyes were only for her, as if she was the most beautiful in his eyes."I’m not going to ask if you left anything behind," she rolled her eyes playfully. "I t

"Mr. E, here are the reports you asked me to prepare," Michael said as he followed him into his office right upon his arrival."Has Ms. Reyes called yet?" Ethan asked while opening his laptop."Yes, Sir. They’ve already found a match for Angel. Right now, they are determining the best time to perform the operation.""That's good. But what's taking them so long? Put Yanah on the phone," he said, slightly pleased but also a bit irritated by the delay."Yes, Mr. E." Michael immediately complied with his request.A few minutes later, Yanah was on the line."Mr. Montenegro, don't worry. Everything is fine," she said immediately."Ms. Reyes, you know that Angel’s case is very close to me. I want you to do everything you can to save her," he said gently.When he returned to the shelter, he looked for the child who introduced God to him. He found out that she was there by herself. Since she was an orphan and had fallen ill, she was left at the shelter by her mother's sibling.Since then, he h
Billionaire's Untainted Love (ENGLISH) C37 - Are You real?
He had so many plans for their future together. When Ethan met Ally, he knew she would play a significant part in his life. He tried to just be friends with her, but in the end, he couldn't help but deepen their relationship.He was happy. They were happy. They loved each other sincerely. So when Ally left him and said that it was only his wealth she was after and that she never truly loved him, he was deeply hurt.He couldn’t accept it because he thought Ally was the only true thing that had ever happened to him. So he felt betrayed and used. He believed that Ally had sold their love for twenty million.It was a mistake that Ethan regretted deeply. That was the turning point in their relationship. If he had fought and seen the truth behind Ally's lies, everything might have turned out differently.But what could he do now? Every doctor he spoke to advised him to let go of the woman he loved. That he should just let her rest.But every part of him couldn’t let her go. He wasn't ready.
Billionaire's Untainted Love (ENGLISH) C36 - Gift of Marriage.
"Look at you, you're so beautiful, Allison," Shanna said happily as they both looked at her reflection in the mirror. She had prepared Ally for her wedding to Ethan that day. Just a few days after his proposal, they were already getting married.Ally wore a simple white dress, comfortable yet presentable for a wedding. Even though the event was private, her groom was still the gorgeous billionaire, Ethan Montenegro. It would have been unfair to him if she didn’t make some effort to look nice, considering her condition.She was thankful to God for allowing her to live until this day. Just waking up that morning was enough for her. Despite feeling weak and aching everywhere, she kept it to herself.Today was supposed to be happy, and she was indeed very happy. She didn’t want to spoil the mood by revealing her discomfort. She was marrying Ethan Montenegro, which should be enough to overshadow her physical pains.“Thanks,” she managed to smile.“Ally, everyone’s waiting upstairs,” Kyla
Billionaire's Untainted Love (ENGLISH) C35 - Deafening silence.
Ally never expected Ethan to take his proposal seriously again, especially with a ring in hand. But this was Ethan Montenegro—whatever he says, he will do. The hardest part for her was receiving a marriage proposal when she was on the brink of death. She didn’t deserve it, especially when she felt so close to the end. Each day seemed dimmer; she knew it, she could feel it.Ethan didn’t deserve to marry someone who might die at any moment. He deserved someone who could grow old with him, not someone who felt like she was just waiting for the final signature to her departure. She couldn’t bring herself to hurt Ethan like that.‘Come on, Allison. Give him some credit. He’s not thinking about that. He just wants to marry you. And if you pass away before the marriage is registered, it’s not the end of the world,’ her mind argued.It wasn’t wrong to grant his request. It wasn’t wrong to let herself and Ethan be happy for whatever time was left. It wouldn’t be selfish to marry him, right? Ev
Billionaire's Untainted Love (ENGLISH) C34 - Somewhere, somehow.
“Ally, did you know that this woman is already engaged? She didn’t even give us a heads-up! If Mr. Montenegro hadn’t asked, she wouldn’t have bothered inviting us to her wedding!”“Michael!” Kattie scolded, her eyes wide at their male friend.Allison laughed. Even though they were just on a video call, Kattie’s blush was clearly visible.“Is it true, Kattie?” Allison asked, genuinely excited.Kattie had always been known more for her love of books than for having a boyfriend. Who would have thought that just a few years after graduation, she’d already be engaged?“Well, it’s not exactly like that,” Kattie explained. “The situation is different. I’d be deported if I don’t marry my friend here.”“Hmm, illegal stay?” Allison guessed.Their friend was currently in America.“Not entirely—”“So, when’s the wedding?” Allison changed the subject. She didn’t want to embarrass her friend. “We need to watch it, okay? Even if it’s just online like this.”“Of course, Ally! Michael and I have alrea

“She was in and out of consciousness last night, Mr. Montenegro. And today, she’s not waking up yet. It’s almost past two PM.”Ethan nearly sped his car to the shelter.He was in the middle of an important meeting when Yanah called. Just seeing her name flash on his silent cellphone had sent his heart racing. He let his phone ring while abruptly wrapping up the meeting. He lost focus and fervently hoped nothing bad had happened to Allison while he wasn’t by her side.And now, Yanah’s words felt like a knife twisting in his heart.“Please, be well, Ally,” he whispered as his vision blurred while he drove well past the speed limit.He just hoped he wouldn’t get pulled over. Just this once. He needed to be beside Ally immediately.“Wait for me, please…”When he arrived, he almost ran to her room. The tightness in his chest was palpable as he saw her sitting on the bed while talking to Yanah. The inexplicable joy of seeing her like this made him tear up.He calmed himself and dried his te

“Mama,” he called to get his mother’s attention, who was standing near the glass wall of his office.Andrea Montenegro turned around and gave him a reserved, cold smile. Sometimes, he wondered if his mother even knew how to be a mother.She lacked any warmth.“What brought you here?” he asked.“Is that how you welcome your mother, son?”He felt like rolling his eyes. She was the one lacking emotion upon seeing him.“I’m just asking, Ma.” He approached Andrea and kissed her cheek.That simple gesture surprised his mother, though her expression only changed momentarily.“Well, I felt obliged to pay you a visit,” Andrea said as she took a seat, not breaking eye contact with him. “A Director raised a concern that you’re always unreachable. What’s going on, Ethan?”“Are you asking me, Mama, because you don’t know yet? Or do you need confirmation?” He knew her well enough to understand that she likely already knew why and who had been occupying his time.“Why are you not listening to your m

“Have those two not developed feelings for each other yet?” Ally asked, amused, as she watched Leio and Shanna joking around with other patients at the shelter.“Well, about that, I’m not sure I want to entrust my cousin to Leio,” Ethan said, affectionately adjusting the way her head rested on his shoulder.“Why not? Isn’t Leio your friend? One of your two best friends, actually.”“Yes. And so I know how he treats women. I don’t want my cousin to end up on his list. You know, Shanna is very dear to me. She’s like my sister,” he explained.“It’s not like there’s a zero possibility that Leio will change,” Ally said, chuckling a bit. “I still think they look good together.”“Ah, don’t encourage them!” The man laughed a little. “On a serious note, if those two do end up liking each other, I think it would be fine. Shanna is being picky. She doesn’t seem to like any of her admirers.”“Maybe Leio is actually the right one for her.”“If Shanna hears you, you’re in trouble,” Ethan joked.“I’v
