When Roselle Ventura turned 18, her father severed ties with her. She started a new life and she meet Oliver Mitchel whose eyes are solely focused on his company's growth to hold onto his position as the CEO. Later on, she learned that he was engaged to someone and that person was desperate to put her six feet under the ground resulting in losing the only treasure she have. Furious, she rises up, waving her identity as the heiress of the most feared billionaire in their city but would these be enough to satisfy her hunger for revenge or she would turn into different person that yearns nothing but to kill just to protect what she have?
View MoreOliver stared deeply into her eyes with undeniable desire etched on his face. "I swear," he grumbled. His voice turned huskier with each second. "My self-control was about to snap if you kept doing this, Rue."Ruella took a step back and blinked. It was not that she couldn't read his expression, but she was embarrassed to point it out. Her face reddened slightly as she looked away, trying to divert their attention from the thought they both had in mind."Why are you here, Oliver, and how did you know I am here?" She suddenly became curious, recalling that she hadn't told him about her joining this race."Dad called me," Oliver sighed. "I was supposed to take you home by now, but I know you'll refuse me, so I considered accompanying you instead."It was rare for him to be this considerate. In the past, it had always been her who used to yield over some things but now, everything seemed to have been changed. It amused her how the tables turned in her favor this time.She raised her eyeb
The loud screeching of his tires caught the massive attention of people heading in and out of the race track. Everyone looks at his car in awe. Their eyes focused directly on his windshield, trying to catch a glimpse of him but Oliver didn't notice this. His attention was solely focused on his phone."Come again, Uncle?" He asked, wondering if he heard him correctly since Sofia was in jail.Before this, he hadn't received any updates about her being taken to the hospital so how is it possible that she is out there fighting for her life? What happened?"Sofia is in critical condition," Mr. Castillo repeated, and since the police had already briefed him about Sofia's involvement in the incident, he also explained according to his knowledge.Hearing his subtle explanation, Oliver's face turned cold. He remained silent until the older man finished talking. Taking the details into consideration, he finally said. "I can't make it right now, Uncle. I'm busy but I'll be there as soon as I'm
In the race track, Ruella was summoned out of her team's private lounge for a quick interview, and out of courtesy for them, she agreed though she hadn't tried facing the camera. Wearing her signature sunglasses, she dragged herself out immediately.A lot of reporters came running as soon as they spotted her coming out. They look trailed and ecstatic at her fully geared-up appearance. She got most men's attention once she stood not far away from the race track.Her long cascading brown hair was blown by the impact of racing cars passing by adding a sense of amazement to everyone. They couldn't take their eyes off her. It was as if they saw a goddess descending from no one knows where."Miss Ventura," One of the reporters began to ask. "Since when did you start showing interest in car racing?"Ruella thought for a while before she answered. "Since I was fifteen."They all gasped, unable to believe her words. One reporter then came forward to ask her another question."The Annual Racing
"She never said anything about it," Oliver flatly replied. "I don't want to meddle in your affairs right now but you've got to get her as soon as possible," Don Antonio said hurriedly. "Her Aunt was freaking out right now!""Is that Oliver?" He even heard Aurora's loud voice in the background which meant that she was indeed throwing a tantrum. "Tell him to get his wife right now or I'll do it on my own!"Don Antonio sighed helplessly. "You heard her. You've got to hurry before she calls someone else to take her away from that race track!"Holding his phone, Oliver didn't know how to react. From the way Don Antonio speaks, he seems a little scared of Aurora which makes him quite baffled.His mind immediately wondered. 'When did he allow Aurora to boss him around?'After quite some time, Oliver's thoughts became steady again once the line was dropped dead and Emman's confused face came into his view.Startled, he blinked several times before he snarled. "What are you doing?""When are
Oliver gazed at her in shock. It took him a couple of minutes before he finally managed to ask. "What did you just say?"Ruella's hot tears streamed down her face as she repeated. "I... I am pregnant!"He finally snapped out of it. The next second, he smiled and began kissing her happily."Isn't this good news for us? We're having a baby!" He looked elated in contrast to her melancholic reaction.He was all smiles but his moment of happiness slowly vanished seeing Ruella's endless tears. It was only then that he remembered her question earlier. His expression began changing."Are you telling me that I'm not?" He asked. His expression turned gloomy.Ruella, still crying, nodded and shook her head at the same time.Meanwhile, Oliver was getting confused. He clumsily wiped her tears before he asked. "Rue, I don't understand. Please stop crying and explain it to me clearly."Sniffling, Ruella opened her mouth to speak. "The baby might belong to him or yours, I'm not sure!""What?" Oliver w
Oliver sensed something odd about her behavior lately but he pushed it aside. He went on comforting her until she eventually calmed down.After quite some time, Ruella finally felt so much better. She closed her eyes and soon drifted to sleep.Meanwhile, Oliver just observed her. He jumped out of her bed slowly after ensuring her breathing became even and went to the balcony. He stood there for quite some time, looking into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking as his face was unreadable.The night has deepened but the lights in the hollow streets shine brightly like the sun, creating a morning glow. The sky turned dark and the wind became chilly followed by a slight drizzle of raindrops.Oliver was immersed in his deep thoughts when the sound of his mobile phone snapped him out of it.It was then he realized, he had been standing there for a long time. Moments later, he went back inside Ruella's room. Shortly after, he received Aurora's phone call stating that they'd stay a
Ruella rushed to the bathroom and retched everything out. Unbeknownst to her, Oliver followed her immediately."Rue, are you okay?" he asked, sounding worried as he supported her bent form over the toilet.Ruella couldn’t speak; she continued to vomit, feeling as if her intestines were about to come out as well. She had sworn never to experience something like this again, yet here she was, back in the same situation. The difference was that Oliver was now by her side, unlike before.He rubbed her back gently while holding her long hair and grumbled anxiously, "I'll bring you to the doctor!"Ruella was alarmed and instinctively replied, "No!" Wiping her mouth, she looked up at him and forced a weak smile. "I... I'll be fine, Ollie. I'm just not feeling well."She looked pale and exhausted, which worried him even more. He tried to convince her, "Rue, don’t be so stubborn. You can’t afford to be sick at this critical time..."She shook her head adamantly. "That won't be necessary."Dragg
Ruella didn't know what was running in her father's mind.The words he spoke just now made her uncomfortable, so she quickly stepped in before he uttered other offensive words."Dad," Eyeing her father seriously, she said, stealing his attention from them. "I'd like to have a word with you."Don Antonio raised his eyebrows, amused at her daughter's quick intervention. But noticing Ruella's expression, he pursed his lips and stood up. "Follow me to the study."Ruella and Oliver went up with him leaving Aurora, Philip, and Lily.As soon as the door to the study closed, Ruella promptly occupied the couch followed by Oliver."Dad, where's Sierra?" She confronted. "Haven't I told Tommy to bring you to the island? Why are you still here?"She just recalled that Sierra tried to threaten their father's life a couple of days ago but after that, she lost contact with her. She thought that he might've captured her."I can manage my affairs," He muttered in disapproval. "I ain't too old to run aw
His heart almost leaped from his chest thinking she might've heard him speaking over the phone."How long have you been there?" Oliver asked nervously.Ruella remained staring at him in silence. Her face was blank, devoid of any emotions.Her stare made him uneasy, but he approached her regardless of how he felt."What's wrong?" His voice immediately softened.Ruella was in fact, in a daze. It may seem like her eyes were focused on Oliver but her mind was elsewhere.She still couldn't believe that she was pregnant. It was like a dream. An impossible dream.At first, she thought that her Aunt Aurora was trying to cheer her up but she was wrong.She showed her the medical results taken overseas in their hospital and she was indeed two months pregnant.She recalled the scene that day.Her blood samples are taken before she undergoes the final test. There were a lot of nurses tending to her which she found a little odd.Moreover, it was very crowded so she argued with the doctor telling h
Boisterous and joyous music began playing in the air, creating a harmonious and entertaining vibe. Luxurious cars began to fill the entryway as the party preparations began. From a hidden corner of the guard house, stationed a teenage girl who was observing her surroundings in a vigilant manner. Her petite figure was wrapped in an oversize black hoodie, tight jeans, and rubber shoes, ready to run whenever the gate tore open. She was supposed to be in her room by now getting dressed and fully dolled up to entertain her guests. However, she found a reason to sneak out. 'Come on! Bumukas ka na! Please lang…' Pagsusumamo pa niya habang palinga-linga sa kanyang paligid. Makalipas ang ilang minuto, bumukas ang lagusan and entered two vehicles in tow. A black van and a Land Rover and it drove past from the guard house patungo sa entryway ng villa. Lulan sa magarang sasakyan ay walang iba kundi ang Don at ang mga bodyguards niya. The teenage girl cleverly used this golden opportunity to...
