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.

  • CRUELLA (TAGLISH)   Chapter 23

    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

    Ruella raked her fingers on her messy locks, tucking them behind her ears before she finally took a closer look at the woman standing in front of her. Leaning on the door frame, she rolled her eyes while crossing her arms over her chest while frowning hard."Ako nga. Ano naman sayo?"Buntong hininga na pinagmasdan ni Sofia and dalaga ng ilang segundo pati ang suot nito. Nasusuklam man siya dito ay pilit niya iyon binalewala at bigla na lamang kinapitan ang braso ng dalaga. "Sumama ka sa akin sandali. Kailangan mo akong tulungan." Nagmamadaling saad nito."Anak ng—..." Ruella didn't have a chance to escape as Sofia dragged her inside Oliver's unit leaving the door widely open habang papunta sila sa isang kwarto kung saan nakakita siya ng maraming dugo."Look!" Sofia pointed her trembling fingers at the messy and bloody floor. "Ithink… I think Oliver is inside. Please go and check on him." Her face turned ghastly pale as she pleaded in urgency.Ruella stared at her for a short while, h

    "I'm not smitten by her. Why couldn't you just believe me?" He groaned."Whatever!" She rolled her eyes. "Noon at magpahanggang ngayon, you never admitted to anything and I won't insist, you know. You can lie for hell I care. I don't give a damn anymore. That's your life and not mine." Now she sounds irritated at him. She was breathing hard, seemingly trying to calm herself down."I'm engaged with her for financial reasons and I told you that." He appalled."Money. People turned really useless in everyone's eyes without money." She snorted disdainfully.It's been half an hour but Tommy and Sofia haven't returned.Oliver's wound started to swell. Pinilit niyang ipikit ang kanyang mga mata sa kadahilanang ayaw niyang galitin pa lalo ang dalaga sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga paliwanag. Hindi rin naman ito naniniwala sa kanya kung kaya't minabuti na lamang niya na manahimik. Ruella was getting anxious. She began pacing back and forth waving her curvaceous body wrapped in Tommy's black shir

    "Umh…" She struggled hard and even tried to push him away but he didn't budge.Oliver was gripping her tight as he continued nibbling her lips. He wanted to drill inside his tongue and taste her delicate mouth once again but she had her mouth clamped tight."I can't believe that we reached so far just to come back without nothing!""Why the hell are all the pharmacies around suddenly closed?"Their hearts synchronized a loud beating beneath their chests. Sofia and Tommy were back!Oliver hasn't had the chance to indulge himself kissing Ruella as Sofia's complaining voice suddenly erupted in their front door. He unwrapped his arms and quickly closed his eyes to feign asleep.Ruella widened her eyes in astonishment and suddenly jumped out from his arms. She inhaled sharply and blinked hard, feigning nonchalant. Wiping her mouth, she cast a furious glare at him while snatching the half glass of water left by Oliver on the table."Hey, was everything okay?" Lumapit sa dalaga si Tommy at n

    Two days later...Ruella woke up in a daze, looking as if she was floating somewhere in the clouds.She looked around and found herself lying in an unfamiliar bed under an unfamiliar ceiling. The chandeliers were quite familiar to her sight but she couldn't recall where she exactly had seen them. Her head swirled on the other side, the walls had paintings she was not familiar with.'Where am I exactly?' She thought.She had no recollection of whatever happened after she passed out.She made a quick rundown of herself, she was still wrapped in her silk robe which somehow put her guard down. Then she tried to recall the events bit by bit, and Oliver suddenly appeared in her mind.She jumped out of bed to look for him but the door tore open, revealing Oliver himself dressed in his famous pair of blue suit, white shirt and pants and a pair of black leather shoes which made him look like a Greek god who just descended from somewhere between heaven and hell. Not only that, but his beard was

    Somewhere in the sky...Sierra's foxy-like eyes were twinkling. Her usually flawless face was now painted with scars and she looked creepier than anyone on board. 'Who would have thought that I could get the position I desired with someone's help?' She thought in amazement. 'Man, I thought my luck had left me but I'm wrong! I should thank that person as soon as I meet him or rather bring him to heaven for pulling me out of that hellhole.'She recalled the days when her father punished and abandoned her for his chosen heiress because she happened to shoot her in the chest.That day, as soon as he arrived from somewhere she lost count of, he ordered his men to bring her into one of the rooms in the mansion.She was terrified by that because that was her first time in that room. All the things inside made her skin crawl and made her sick to the stomach to the point that she puked everything she had eaten earlier that day.Then she heard from them that Ruella went there frequently after

    Oliver was trying to figure out Don Antonio's thoughts when Ulysses stormed into Ruella's room."Mr. Mitchell," he called out in a whisper. "Mr. Ventura wants to talk to you."Oliver nodded. Soon he followed Ulysses downstairs.He handed him over the phone."How's everything going?" Don Antonio's voice sounded rough and impatient on the other end. "Which one of you is the child's match donor?"'How did he know?' Oliver thought but then again, for a guy as influential as him especially in the underworld, he surely has the source to the latest updates of their activities wherever they go. 'It must be his minions.' He thought.He cleared his throat about to speak but the latter beat him to it."There might be a rare possibility that neither of you matched as her donor."Oliver sighed helplessly. Of course, he knew about this.Before coming to the country, he had done a lot of research and it irked him to think that there could be such a possibility."There could be..." Oliver stated matt

    Similar to the speed of lightning, Oliver swiftly entered the backseat."You! What are you doing here?" She asked with eyes widening in pure astonishment. "I'm coming with you!" He simply replied."Get out!" She demanded. Her voice blazed with anger as she added. "Take a taxi!"He shook his head stubbornly. "Not happening!"The foreign guy stared at the two back and forth, getting confused. He wondered where this man came from and how the hell did he manage to anger his Lady boss like this. Does he even have the slightest idea of who he was messing with?"Boss?" He chimed in. "Shall I get him off the car?"Ruella gave him a death stare. "Are you sick of talking? How about I cut that damned tongue for you?""S-sorry, Boss!" He grumbled apologetically. "I'll drive you to the airport as soon as possible."Hindi niya ito sinagot. Nakatitig lamang siya kay Oliver habang ito ay pikit matang nakasandal sa kanyang tabi."Do you really wish to see the real me, Oliver?" Tinanong niya ito.Mara

    "Lucas!" Marella tried to stop her husband as she saw him getting ready to go. "You remember trying to hold her for 48 hours, right?"Saka lamang ito naalala ni Lucas. Tinignan niya ang asawa. Napansin nito ang pagkabalisa. "I don't even know how to face her!" Sambit ni Marella habang . "All this while, we've been nothing but cruel to her. We already took her daughter from her and are now about to ask for her help. I feel ashamed, Lucas!""It's a matter of life and death, Marella. We can't just stand and watch our little Louella die without doing anything!" Lucas' voice trembled with emotion. "If I have to lower my pride to gain her forgiveness, I'll do it to save her. I hope her father didn't turn her heart into stone otherwise...""No!" Marella interrupted her husband. "She's here because she loves her daughter and is willing to help!""Donating her bone marrow differs from bearing another child, Marella." Lucas reminded her. "It could change her life and Antonio would never allow

    Pagdating ni Oliver sa hospital, nagtungo ito kaagad sa loob upang magpa-check.Since Ruella doesn't match, he expected that he must be Louella's match. They were father and daughter after all so It's impossible not to.He was brought into a private room and after a few hours, he was wheeled out.Tulad ng hiniling niya, dinala din siya sa ward kung saan naroon ang dalaga. He wished to stay with her until they both regained their strength para makapag-usap na rin.Habang mahimbing na natutulog ang dalawa sa magkahiwalay na kama, palihim na bumisita naman si Aurora. Marahan siyang pumasok sa loob at pinagmasadan ang dalawa. Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang sayang naramdaman at noon lamang niya naisip ang bagay na dapat matagal niya na ginawa.'Forgive me, Louella! I couldn't protect your daughter before but I promise not to cower anymore! I'll do everything to get her back into this family.'Tahimik itong umiyak habang inaalala ang kapatid ng ilang oras bago ito tuluyang umalis at bumalik sa

    Panandaliang nawala si Oliver sa kanyang ulirat.Hindi niya lubos maisip na ito ang kanyang dadatnan sa loob ng isang malawak na kwarto. Bukod pa roon, naguguluhan din siya sa nakita."These..." Maiksing sambit niya habang marahang pinaikot ang kanyang paningin sa buong silid. "Why do you have all of these?"He was amazed to see a lot of Ruella's photos attached to the wall. They were taken from her childhood till now. They also have a shot at the airport where they hopped on the Royal family's private jet."Isn't it obvious?" Mrs. Salvatorre asked. "I thought you were smart? Don't tell me we're wrong about you, young man!"Oliver stared at the walls. "She believed that all of you had completely abandoned her since birth but in fact, you're looking after her secretly.""Of course," Mrs. Salvatore seemed pleased that Oliver finally understood the true meaning of what he saw. She continued, "The royal blood still runs in her veins and we can't deny that she still belongs to us. Antonio,

    Ruella's mouth hung wide open. "Anong ibig mong sabihin, Ollie?"She suddenly felt uneasy.Ang buong akala niya ay nagkasundo na sila. Hiniling nito sa binata na magkanya-kanya na lamang sila. Kung ano man ang naging pinagsamahan nila, hiniling ni Ruella na ibaon na nila ito sa limot at magpatuloy na lamang sila sa buhay. Hindi niya akalain na magmamatigas pa ito."You can think whatever that is," Oliver replied curtly. "I won't let you throw me away from your life, Rue. I swore from seeing you again that I'm not letting you go.""Oliver!" Ruella hissed. "Huwag mo na 'to ipilit!""No Rue!" Oliver protested. "You listen to me. Kinailangan mo nang pumili! Time is ticking!"Ruella didn't know what to say. Mukhang hindi niya na ito kayang pigilan pa. Papayag na lang ba siya sa gusto nito? Paano kung ikapapahamak niya ito?Ruella's fingers trembled in fear. "I can't let you do that, Oliver. There's a lot of things that you don't know.""Then start telling me!" He urged impatiently.

    Makalipas ang sumunod na araw, Ruella woke up feeling better.Nakita niya si Arianna na nakabantay sa kanya at tulog pa itong nakayuko sa may gilid ng kama. Nahiya siyang gisingin ito kaya marahan siyang tumayo mula sa higaan upang magtungo sa banyo.Napansin nya na kaunti na lamang ang laman ng kanyang IV drip kaya, tinanggal nya na rin ito at nilapag ang karayom sa kanyang pinaghigaan. Masakit pa din ang kanyang sugat ngunit kumpara noong isang gabi, medyo na okay na ito. Sa pakiwari nya ay kaya niya na kumilos na dahan-dahan kung alang-alang sa sariling kapakanan.Pagkapasok nya ng banyo, nilinis nya kaagad ang sarili gamit ang mga basic necessities na nakita bago sya ulit lumabas."My God!" Bulalas ni Arianna. "I've been looking for you everywhere!""Did something happen?" Nabiglang tanong nya.Marahan namang kumalma si Arianna pagkakita sa kanya. "No. I just thought that you're gone!"Ruella shook her head in confusion. "Why would you think of that?""Ahm..." Arianna fidgeted he
