Makalipas ang tatlong taon…

Sa isang coffee shop...

Humahangos na pumasok mula sa backdoor si Roselle habang suklay-suklay ng mga daliri ang kanyang mahabang buhok. Palinga-linga na para bang may iniiwasan ito na may makahuli sa kanya ngunit nagulantang siya.

"You're late!" Bulalas ng isang lalaki na hindi niya napansing nakatayo na pala sa likuran niya.

Siya ang may-ari ng coffee shop na pinapasukan ng dalaga at ang pangalan nito ay Marco Castro. According to her knowledge, he is a bachelor and famous for being a jerk. Arrogant and self-centered asshole na walang ibang alam gawin kundi ang paglaruan ang puso ng mga kababaihan. She once witnessed her colleague crying her eyes out because she was dumped by him after taking her precious V. Right there and then she was also fired by him and even banned from entering the coffee shop.

Napapikit na lamang si Roselle habang tinapos ang pagtali sa buhok niya at dahan-dahan itong lumingon sabay sapilitang binanat ang kanyang mga labi upang magmukhang ngumiti. "Sorry, boss. Medyo, natagalan lang po ako sa pinakahuli kong inasikaso eh. Pasensya na…" Paliwanag niya ng malumanay sa binata.

"Lumang tugtugin na 'yan, Ventura." Singhal nito habang papalapit ng papalapit sa kanyang kinaroroonan. "Lagi ka na lang ganyan. If you keep on doing this, you leave me with no choice but to fire you and find someone else. Aba'y negosyo ang pinag-uusapan dito puwera nalang kung papayag ka na lumabas kasama ako kahit mahuli kapa ng kalahating oras araw-araw wala akong pakialam kasi kaya naman kitang parusahan privately and I love that." Payabang na sabi ng amo sa kanya habang naka-cross arms pa ito. Ang mga titig pa nito ay para bang kulang na lang ay lamunin siya ng buo mula sa kanyang kinatatayuan. Obviously, he was desperate to have his way to her.

Sino ba namang lalaki ang hindi makakapansin sa itsura niya? Simple at boyish man ang pananamit niya, kakaiba naman ang kaniyang angking ganda. She looks more like a European woman which she genetically harbored from her deceased mother than her Filipino father after living freely for 3 years. In short, may ganda siyang makalaglag panga. Rare and exquisite wika nga nila. Magandang lalaki naman din ang Don ngunit namumutawi pa rin sa itsura niya ang imahe ng kanyang ina. The elegance in her actions was evidently showing adding to her advantage.

Hindi maiwasang kumunot ang noo ni Roselle sa asta nito. Magandang lalaki naman itong boss niya, mayaman, macho, at matangkad pa. Lahat ng katangian na pinapangarap ng isang babae sa isang lalaki eh nasa kanya na sa pakiwari niya ngunit hindi niya tipo ang pag.uugali nito. He despised his kind and she swore that she would never fall for his stupid tricks. "Salamat na lang po sa offer ninyo boss. I promise to make it in time." Bulalas niya sabay ngiti pa ng maganda. Sinuot ang kanyang uniform ng walang pag-aalinlangan at nagpunta sa counter upang kumuha ng orders sa mga bagong panhik na mga customers.

Apat na oras lang ang duty niya sa coffee shop na ito at kung tutuusin, hindi naman ito kawalan sa kanya kapag sinisante siya ni Marco. Barya-barya lang ang kinikita nya rito ngunit ang nagugustuhan niya ay ang pagtimpla ng kape at ang kakaibang aroma na nalalanghap na mula sa sarili niya masterpieces. It helps her relax and feel better after her therapy sessions. Coffee lover kasi siya at ito ang namana niya sa kanyang ina kung kaya't nagpatuloy pa rin siya sa kabila ng pangha-harass sa kanya ng amo niya. She was patient enough to endure him as long as he wouldn't cross over her boundaries upang mapanatili lamang niya ang sarili sa trabahong ito.

***

"Me, I take your order please…" She said, sensing the person coming right across her.

"Miss, isang coffee amerikano at latte, please…" Magalang na saad ng lalaking costumer.

Nakayuko ang dalaga habang isinulat ang order ng lalaki. Makaraan ang ilang segundo, inangat ng bigla ang kanyang mukha at bigla siyang natigilan sa itsura nito. Tumalon ang kanyang puso sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na dahilan habang nakatitig siya rito. Tulala at para bang biglang tumigil ang kanyang mundo. Natameme ang dalaga ng ilang segundo habang pakiwari niya ay nag-freeze ang lahat sa paligid niya. She can't take her eyes off him at ganun din ang lalaki. Their stares collided and synchronized through their irises. Nakalaan ang ilang segundo, the man blinked and tore his gaze away from her face.

"Miss..? Miss..?" He snapped.

Roselle was completely in a trance. She looked at the man standing across her in a daze. She was mesmerized by his looks. Neatly trimmed haircut, thick brows, grayish eyes, high-bridge nose, firm jawlines and his lips that mostly distracted her attention. His crisped white shirt that neatly rolled up to his elbows added a massive amount of distraction in her mind. For a short while, she felt that her heart had stopped after skipping an odd beat.

"Sweetheart, what the hell are you doing?" Biglang lumapit sa tagiliran niya si Marco at bumulong ito sa tenga niya na para bang magkasintahan sila. "Get yourself together right now. Don't embarrass me in front of this big shot." He demanded at her in a gentle yet stern way habang nakangiti sa gwapong customer watching their interaction.

Natauhan bigla si Roselle sa ginawa ng amo niya na tampalasan. Huminga siya ng malalim at ngumiti professionally. "Sorry about that sir." She apologetically blurted. "Please wait for a very short moment and your order will be ready in 7 minutes." Saad niya ng mahinahon before she went to get his order ready.

Tumago ng marahan ang lalaki at tumalikod na. Naglalakad na ito papunta sa bakanteng upuan. He never cast another glance at her at halatang naiirita pa ito sa kanya.

7 minutes passed and the guy's order was done. Binalot niya ito at hinatid sa inuukupang pwesto sabay humingi ulit siya ng paumanhin sa kanyang inasta. "Pasensya na po kayo ulit sir. I sincerely apologized." She muttered softly habang nakayuko ang ulo.

"Staring at your customer is unprofessional but that's fine, my coffee matters to me the most. You're lucky that you're good at it." Having said that, tumayo na ang lalaki at umalis pag kapit ng paper bag na naglalaman ng order niya. The stranger left just like that.

Roselle bit her lips in annoyance habang nakatitig sa matipunong likuran ng lalaki. 'Huh! Arrogante! Masamid ka sana sa kape mo sir!' She thought at nagpatuloy na sa kanyang natitirang oras ng trabaho. She pushed aside the strange feeling that she had when she saw the man earlier. Pakiwari niya ay nagulantang lamang siya sa mala-anghel na itsura nito ngunit katulad lamang ito sa amo niya, iisa ang likaw ng mga bituka nila! Not worthy of her precious time and attention!

Makalaan pa ang apat na oras ay napangiti na siya. Paubos na ang mga customers and the shop was almost empty. It's time for her to end her shift at may aasikasuhin pa siya. Nakahanda na siyang umalis ngunit hinarang pa siya ng amo niya sa may counter.

"Oops… Teka, teka. Saan ka pupunta?" Bulalas ng binata habang nakangiti while he spread his arms wider in an attempt to engulf her into his embrace. "Ventura, I want you. Please give me a chance." He pleaded anxiously ngunit biglang umilag ang dalaga and she escaped successfully from his grasp.

Tinititigan niya si Marco ng matalim sabay tanong, "Boss, sigurado ka ba na gusto mo akong ilabas talaga?" Nakita niya na kasi na papasok ang girlfriend ng binata at masama man sa masama, gusto niya rin makaganti sa pangha-harass nito sa kanya kahit papaano.

"Yes. I want to start a serious relationship with you, please. Just give me a chance." May pa-puppy dog eyes pa ang binata totally unaware of the presence of her girlfriend behind him. Nanlilisik na ang mga mata nito habang papalapit sa kinatatayuan nilang dalawa. Mukhang umuusok pa ang ilong nito na para bang torong galit na galit at pula na lang ang nakikita sa paligid. She was obviously jealous of her and she found it irrelevant and unnecessary.

Uh-oh! Mukha yatang mapapasama pa yata ang lagay niya!

Ngumiti si Roselle na para bang nagustuhan nito ang walang kwentang pinagsasabi ng boss niya. "Paano naman ang girlfriend mo? Aber, sabihin mo nga. Hiwalay na ba kayo? Naku, malaking problema iyan, Marco. Ayaw ko na ako pa ang maging dahilan sa hiwalayan ninyo. I'm not a desperate bitch." Tugon niya sabay iling ng kanyang ulo in a firm refusal.

"Hiwalayan ko siya kung iyan ang nais mo. Bigyan mo lang ako ng chance. Please…" Pagmamakaawa pa nito na para bang sincere siya sa mga salita niya. Kung alam niya lang ang naghihintay sa kanya sa kabila ng pagsusumamo niya…

"Really? Are you serious?" She smirked deviously at him sabay snatch ng backpack niya sa may countertop. "Sabihin mo iyan sa kanya at ako'y lalayas na." Bulalas niya while pointing her finger towards behind him na may kasama pang exaggerated shocking gasp. "Oh, did I forgot to tell you na she's here listening to you the whole time?" Having said that, nanakbo na siya palabas ng backdoor upang tumakas sa gulo. There's no way na makikisali pa siya sa lover's quarrel nila and act as the villainess of their love story.

Makailang hakbang pa lamang mula sa PIXIE shop ay tumunog ang kanyang mobile phone sa loob ng backpack niya. Tumigil siya at inilabas ito bago tuluyang sinagot ang tawag sa pag-aakalang ang caller ay ang best friend niya dahil she recalled na may usapan silang manood ng horror movie. "Don't tell me that you're going out?" She sounds accusing.

"Ahem! Roselle Ventura, from BODY HEALTHCARE Services?" Tanong ng isang malamig na boses ng lalaki sa kanya sa kabilang linya.

"Oh." She gasped in shock and immediately peered on her phone screen to check on her caller's ID but she found it unknown. She frowned but nonetheless, she continued to speak professionally. "Yes, sir. What can I do for you?" Marahang tugon niya. Alas! Bigla siyang kinabahan at hindi niya maipaliwanag. She began to wonder when her personal contact number started scattering to any stranger's phonebooks.

"You are required to report for an immediate interview in OLYMPUS at 8 sharp in the morning." The man responded curtly before he cut off the call.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Nagulantang na lamang siya nang biglang beep nalang ang narinig at pagtingin pa niya ay wala na ang caller niya. "OLYMPUS?" Her frown deepened. She never recalled herself applying for any company positions ever since but why was she called for an interview? She was both confused and curious about the call. Samo't saring ideya ang pumasok sa kanyang isipan at nagulat siya ng biglang tumalbog ang kanyang telepono sa kamay. Muntik pa itong humahis nuti na lamang at nasalo niya ito ng tama sa kanyang kalkulasyon.

Her mobile phone rang again and this time she was cautious enough to look into her screen before taking it. It was her best friend, Andrea, calling her this time.

"Andrea, please tell me that you're not gonna ditch me up…" Sambit niya na may halong pagmamakaawa.

"Bitch! Hurry up! Kanina pa kita inaantay. Gutom na ako at kung babagal-bagal ka, natatakot ako na baka masunog ko 'tong kusina mo." Andrea blurted out nonchalantly.

Roselle suddenly went alarmed and immediately strutted her heels out towards her apartment. "Get out of my kitchen right now woman! I warn you!" Mariin niyang utos habang nananakbo pauwi sa kanyang munting tahanan ngunit bigla siyang natigilan sa sumunod niyang narinig.

"Roselle! Help me!"

    The following day…Roselle stood stiffly across the tall building that was named OLYMPUS with zero idea as to why she was being called in the first place. She was really confused. Questions after question began popping out from her mind na nagdadala lng ng sakit sa kanyang sentido.Last night, when she arrived at home, she was all panicking and worried about her best friend but then she found her just bluffing to make her come back fast. She was pissed yet she couldn't help but ask Andrea about OLYMPUS. She recalled the latter once worked there before but she was dismissed after a year. She was hoping to hear something useful but all she could hear was Andrea's unending complaint about how bad the company's treatment was to their employees. Obviously, she was still nurturing a grudge for being fired. Sa huli, she got nothing but endless rants and curses from the latter while they watched their desired movie.***Marahan siyang tumawid sa pedestrian lane at tumayo sa mismong entrance ng

    The next day…As usual, Roselle was awakened by the tune of her mobile phone. She thought it was her alarm but when her eyes snapped wide open, she noticed that it was actually a call. She failed to answer it and a message notification followed after the ringing stopped. She tried to sit up and leaned on the headrest while opening it. The contents were…'Miss Ventura, this is Mrs. Larson's assistant. I called to notify you that my boss won't be needing your service starting today. Thank you.'She frowned.Another message came into her notifications bar.'Roselle, this is Anna. I was ordered to tell you that Madame Alice won't be needing you to come starting today. I will miss you, bitch! Please call me some other time for a hang-out.'Her frown deepened even more.Roselle sighed deeply, feeling rather confused. What's going on? Why are they pulling away from her just this sudden? As far as she recalled, nagawa naman niya ng maayos ang kanyang sessions with them and they weren't complai

    Truth to his words, Oliver considered Roselle's concerns and laid it into a contract. They agreed that she was free to go wherever she wants during weekends but she has to come and stay at their villa during nights just in case of an emergency. Pumayag naman ang dalaga at pansamantalang sinara ang kanyang apartment. She decided to just come and clean it during her day-off. She also informed Andrea about it and the latter went berserk but Roselle just shrugged her off.Everything seems to be fine during her first week of stay in the Mitchell's family villa.Magkasundo naman sila ni Mrs. Mitchell.

    Roselle's eyes widened in pure shock. Her heart hammered violently against her ribcage as well as her body turned stiff, stilled seemingly freezing in her spot. This was the first time that a man had skin to skin contact with her. And to think that he was her boss that just dragged her without saying anything, she was baffled. Why the hell did his boss kiss her? What did she say anyway to make him do that? How could he just… Kiss her like that? She remained stoic, unable to comprehend what was happening. Totally dumbfounded. Her first kiss was stolen yet she was on the brink of oblivion.Oliver's lips started to move, having a taste of what he truly yearns for. He closed his eyes as he nibbled on her lower lip trying to quench his impending hunger for her. 'God her lips taste like heaven.' he thought as he continued to indulge himself.Roselle gasped when she felt that his kiss had turned intense and a sharp pain occurred on her lower lip. She opened her mouth carelessly in an attempt

    Habang papalapit ang dalaga, she tries to hide what she actually feels. Huminga siya ng malalim and evoked a professional smile upon reaching the guy's position. Though feeling awkward, she tried hard to act normal after all, he was her boss and she was under his payroll."Good evening, Mr. Mitchell." Bati niya rito ng marahan."Good evening din," Oliver sighs while looking at the lady. "Haven't I told you to call me by my name?" He groaned."Ahm, so-sorry. Oliver, may I know why you're here at my door at this hour?" She politely demanded. She was curious about his presence at her door and she wondered what could have brought him right there. "It's about what happened last night. I just want to apologize for what I have done. I didn't mean to disrespect you inside my residence. I…" He wanted to say something more but the lady took the opportunity to stop him halfway."Ahm, Oliver. I know it was just a mistake." She babbled smiling but deep inside she was disheartened.

    Roselle stared at the guy in shock. Did he just ask her to be his? She was confused, baffled and dumbfounded. "What… What are you trying to say?" She questioned shakily. She felt his tongue licking her sensitive skin through her nape and that temporarily made her shiver and closed her eyes. Nakakahiya man, she admitted that the tingling sensation given by his kisses was giving her an undeniable pleasure especially to her very core. She is a virgin. Oliver was the first to make skin to skin contact with her. Her body reacted quickly to his torments and now she was feeling something wrong within."Do you like me, hm?" He questioned through his wet kisses.Tikom ang bibig ng dalaga habang pinakiramdaman nito ang bawat daan ng labi ng binata sa patungo sa kanyang shoulder blades. As if she was hypnotized. No matter how her mind shouts at her, she didn't budge and even tilted her head to give more access to his wants. "Mmm…" A soft moan gradually escaped from her throat as she felt his ha

Having a lot of time to rest, she felt refreshed and perturbed. She cleaned up her mess on the table and took a quick bath. She was getting ready to return back to the villa when her mobile phone vibrated on her coffee table. When she peered at her screen, she smiled widely from ear to ear.Mrs. Mitchell was calling her…She answered and aligned it on her ear as she greeted cheerfully. "Mrs. Mitchell,""Roselle dear, how was your day?" The older woman sounds interested in her whole day escapade."It's fine, Mrs. Mitchell. I'm going back to the villa right now." Nagmamadaling sabi niya."Dear, I called to tell you that you can stay at your home tonight. Don't hurry to come back and enjoy your time being with your mother."

    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

    In the living room, the atmosphere became chilly.Oblivious to what Ruella talked about with her Aunt upstairs, Oliver settled down on the couch across from the three persons.He noticed that each had different expressions plastered on their faces.The woman, he assumed to be the doctor, Victor discussed with him over the phone was busy taking notes to God knows what. However, her expression was a little strange after looking at Ruella for quite some time.Aurora's husband had his sharp gaze aimed in Don Antonio's direction and the same goes for the latter as if they were planning to stab each other any moment from now.Men are protective when it comes to their territories which was quite reasonable for Don Antonio but looking at Philip, Oliver suddenly felt curious, wondering why he was looking at him with such hatred in his eyes.As he waited, Philip finally broke his silence."I didn't know that Mr. Ventura was capable of ruining a crowned princess's life. If I had known you'd fail

    Under her scrutinizing gaze, Oliver felt nervous."Why would you think of that?" He asked trying to be nonchalant.Her stare made him feel slightly uncomfortable. It was like she wanted to drill holes all over his face, and man, he wasn't good at lying, but he couldn't tell her about everything yet for fear that she might get mad at him.Ruella seized him up and down several times. Seeing his facial hair intact and perfectly trimmed, she asked. "You look more mature than before. What's with the beard?"Oliver thought that she might've been suspicious of him for talking too much thus he tried to refrain himself a little.Pushing aside his nervousness, he suddenly grinned, asking. "Does this look better on me?"Ruella didn't dwell on it too much and just nodded. "Not bad."Oliver felt relieved. Then he leads her downstairs to eat the sumptuous meals he prepared for her.Moments later, after finishing their meals, Ruella stood up from her chair."I need to go home," she announced. "Sierra
