Sa Kabilang banda, nagmamadaling bumaba si Tommy lulan ng elevator ngunit sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, ito ay tumigil sa kalagitnaan. Nagtaka siya at napatingala sa floor button indicator and he found out that he was stuck on the 20th floor of the building. Buti na lamang at dala niya ang kanyang mobile phone and he started to scroll down Emman's number to call for some help.Emman was currently in the CEO'S office facing his boss's unnatural interrogations."Tell me what you got." Oliver demanded as his eyes cautiously darted at the door of his private lounge. Just a couple of minutes ago, he called him through the phone but Emman got an urgent call from his mother so he only said something about Ruella's sudden call which made Tommy looking anxious that is why Oliver also came into Ruella's office to have a look and he found her looking extremely pale and sweating profusely while her eyes were tightly shut. He suddenly became worried about her and immediately carried her to his
Oliver watched Ruella while sleeping soundly with different emotions swirling in his heart. He dragged a single seater sofa to her bedside at marahang naupo. He reached out for her hand and kissed her knuckles lovingly."I'm so sorry if I made a terrible mistake by turning my back on you. I swear to you that that wasn't my intention." He whispered while displaying a regretful expression on his face. Tinititigan niya maige ang mukha nito at bumuntong hininga. He genuinely felt worried about her."You seem to have lost a lot of weight. What happened to you?" He continued to talk as he lifted his other hand to touch her cheekbones, trailing his finger on them.Ruella suddenly flinched at his touch. She stirred into another position and doved her face on the pillows, leaving him speechless.Oliver loosened his hold on her hand and stood up from his seat silently. He felt like he was being stabbed in the chest by just a single flinch from her. Even in her slumber, she clearly shows how much
The moment Ruella arrived at the mansion, pumanhik kaagad siya sa kanyang silid at nagbilin na huwag siyang istorbohin. She locked her door and took a quick bath to get rid of the stickiness of her body. After a few minutes, she wrapped herself with her black bathrobe and went to the corner near the window with a goblet and a bottle of wine clutched between her fingers. She was staring at nothingness for a long time as she sipped the crimson red liquid from time to time until she fully consumed the entire bottle.There were lots of thoughts that kept on swirling in her mind but the constant thought of her daughter was the strongest to make her tears slowly streak down her face. It was pouring like rain. No matter how she tried to wipe them, it still continued to stream. She closed her eyes and recalled the days of her pregnancy.After her third trimester, she roamed around and went to a baby's boutique. She bought anything she desired. Pagkalabas niya sa store, she accidentally bumped
Tommy and Ruella went to one of their clubs to have some fun with a black van tailing behind them."Tommy, I want you to call Emman Velasco and ask him out for a drink." Marahang utos ng dalaga.Tommy evokes a boyish grin as he speaks. "Got it. I owed him this morning and now I can finally pay the gratitude.""Emman is a good person opposite to his boss. He used to be my client's son. They're actually nice." Ruella narrated nonchalantly.Tommy nodded in agreement but then he recalled the bodyguards tailing them. He was confused and couldn't help asking his lady boss. "What's with the bodyguards? I thought you despised being treated like a high profile individual?" He joked."Dad, give them to me for my safety. I couldn't say no and you know him very well that he won't take no for an answer." She sighed in defeat. Watching the street lights fading from her sights she suddenly babbled something that made Tommy go speechless. "Why didn't you tell me that you've been watching me for three
From the corner, Oliver's jealousy was getting out of control. He inhaled sharply, clenching his fists inside his pockets before he marched brusquely towards the dance floor. The crowd gave him a way enough to pass by. Seeing his murderous expression, everyone was distancing away from them and feigned to face their own businesses. He looked like he was about to strangle someone which also made them confused.Ruella's bodyguards slowly took a few steps towards them but she signaled them to stay out if it."Deputy CEO, can you be more rational to think of the company's reputation before displaying your private affairs like this?" Oliver spat accusingly.Ruella and Tommy detached their lips and darted their gaze at the furious guy."I'm not good at hiding Mr. Mitchell, perhaps you can give me some tips?" She grumbled sarcastically. "After all, you are good at hiding, isn't it? I would love to learn a few from you." She added with a hint of provocation.Oliver suddenly turned speechless a
Ruella rolled her eyes as she watched her nemesis losing her consciousness. 'How pathetic!' She thought as she cast a glance at Oliver who was currently frozen in his seat."Sofia!" Emman scrambled towards the woman laying down on the floor. He had an anxious look in his face opposite to the latter's boyfriend's showcased reaction.Tommy then stood up and went to Ruella's side. "I didn't know that she's so weak to face such a scene." He grumbled under his breath. He looked terribly amused as he watched the scene with interest.Oliver then stood up and took Sofia in his arms. He glared at Ruella before he laid her on the wide couch. "You intentionally did this, didn't you?" He accused furiously.Ruella rolled her eyes again. "I'm just being honest with her. I don't really like men who cheat on their women. It fucking disgusts me." Pagkatapos mag salita ay sumenyas siya sa isa sa mga babae and pouted. "Dear, you made her lose consciousness. You should do something to bring her back. Com
Half an hour had passed after Ruella and Tommy went upstairs, Sofia and Oliver also arrived in the parking lot. With no intentions of giving a damn in his surroundings, he just takes her up to his occupied floor without further ado."Get in." Oliver urged casually as he opened his door widely for his fiancee.Sofia delightedly stormed into his unit with so much awe. "Wow! This unit is so perfect." She praised genuinely. She walked through his little hallways with the sole intention of scrutinizing every piece of his belongings if he happens to forget keeping something like a woman's belongings but after a few minutes, she felt relieved. She didn't spot any signs of women's things inside thus she carefully reprimanded herself not to dwell so much on what she actually saw at the bar. 'Perhaps he really just was drunk and made a mistake.' She thought but still she couldn't help feeling a little bitter.Oliver went to his room and stripped down his shirts. He changed into his casual cloth
Trigger Warning : This chapter contains mature content.At Ruella's unit, the lights automatically switched off. As they entered the dimly-lit bedroom, Tommy kicked the door shut before he laid her in the bed. With such urgency, they stripped themselves out from their clothes and resumed doing their created burning passion.Ruella closed her eyes as she succumbed to her mind's firm oppression against her heart. She surrendered and drank all Tommy's gentleness and affection. Deep within, she knows that she still has that man occupying the deepest pit of her but she was determined to overcome it. Only by allowing Tommy to get into her walls would make her move forward and stop those pavements of madness left by Oliver to envelope in her system. For the first time in his life, Tommy felt victorious as he hovered above the woman that he longed to conquer. His muscular physique stretched accordingly as he pressed her gently and cautiously in bed as he maneuvers himself ready to thrust his
