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

    Ruella's eyes blazed with fury as she stood before Don Antonio, the revelation about the DNA test results kept messing with her head. "You knew all along, didn't you?" she spat, her voice venomous. "You know Sierra wasn't your real daughter."Don Antonio's expression remained impassive, but a hint of guilt flickered in his eyes. "I had my suspicions," he admitted. "But I need proof."Ruella's anger boiled over. "And what about my mother's death? she demanded. "Sierra's mother was behind it, wasn't she?"Don Antonio shook his head, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry, Ruella. I don't know. It didn't cross my mind that your mother's death was intentional. The doctor's findings about her death were just the same as your daughter's that's why I...""It's because my mother paid the doctor to give false findings," Sierra chimes in. "But she killed him after that to wrap everything up."Ruella's face twisted in rage. Facing Sierra, she spat, anger radiating from her voice. "You'll p

    Ruella stared at Sierra, her eyes crinkling with amusement as she dealt with her inner doubts."No!" Sierra screamed, her face twisted into a snarl. She growled. "That's not true! I'm his daughter!"Ruella scoffed. Disgust was evident in her eyes as she retorted. "Well, that's what your mother said but who knows? A lot of possibilities could happen when Dad wasn't around."Sierra's face turned ghastly pale. Shame was eating her whole but she refused to admit it. That secret had long been forgotten since her mother died. She was sure of it since she promised to get rid of her biological mother to keep things wrapped between the two of them.Sierra was confident that Ruella knew nothing about her past and was just trying to manipulate her emotions. She rolled her eyes and spat. "I'm certain that I'm his daughter but how about you?""Oh, Sierra," Ruella said, her voice dripping with fake concern. "I'm a hundred percent sure of that since I've got a lot of people to prove such fact but lo

    Several days later...Ruella's tires screeched as she took the final turn, her eyes fixed on the mansion where Sierra was detained by her men. Her heart was heavy, aching weight in her chest, still reeling from Tommy's funeral. She didn't just lose a friend but a potential partner, a brother figure, and most of all the possible father of her child. These realizations took a toll on her emotional turmoil causing her to lack sleep every night.She slammed the car door shut behind her and stormed towards the entrance, her anger and grief boiling over. The doors burst open as she flung them wide, and she strode inside, her eyes blazing with fury."Sierra!" she screamed, her voice roared off the marble floors.Sierra emerged from the shadows, a smirk twisting her lips. "Well, fancy meeting you again sister. Hows Tommy? Have you sent him my regards before burying him six feet under?"Ruella's eyes narrowed, her hands clenched into fists. "You're going to pay for what you did, Sierra!"The a

    Ruella's eyes snapped wide open in shock. Her heart beating rapidly as she took in the scene in front of her.She thought that this could be her last. The end of her life and the baby in her womb but someone rushed to take the stab from her.Her lips trembled and fear crept within her. Tommy had come to save her."Tommy!" She mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper. "What... What are you doing?"Tommy's blood started dripping from his stomach. Clutching his wound, he forced a smile as he faced Ruella. "I told you. I'll always protect you, Rue."Sierra's aim at his chest stopped as soon as she realized that it was Tommy who rushed to aid Ruella. Her hands trembled and the knife fell on the ground. She rushed to check on him. Worry was etched on her messy face but his other hand stopped her from getting closer."Don't you dare get close, Sierra!" He warned, his face twisted murderously. Then he snapped his fingers, summoning all the men he had taken with him, and ordered. "Take this b

    Ruella's gaze was locked on the figure. She forgot her surroundings as she walked through the crowd. Meanwhile, Oliver, who had seen the same figure, panicked. He rushed after her, but his face turned pale when she vanished. He scanned the area, but he couldn't find her anywhere.Oliver took out his phone and dialed Ruella's number, but he remembered that he had taken her mobile phone earlier. The mild ringing in one of his racer suit pockets proved he still had it since she had not taken it from him.He mentally cursed himself for taking her phone. If he hadn't done such a possessive stunt earlier, he would've been able to contact her easily by now. Feeling frustrated, Oliver dialed his subordinate's number, but nobody answered to his dismay. The ringing went on for about a few minutes and after what seemed like forever, he finally heard the voice he longed to hear."Boss," The familiar voice echoed."Why was Sierra here?! I thought I made it clear to you to keep an eye on her?" Ol

    Oliver 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
