"Mahal din kita. Sobra…" Bumulong siya rito.

Hinalikan na lamang ni Oliver sa noo ang dalaga at pumikit na. Somehow, her words brought a huge sense of relief inside him. Masaya siyang malaman na siya pa rin talaga ang tinitibok ng puso nito at hindi si Tommy ngunit he was determined to separate them habang maaga pa bago mahuli ang lahat. He didn't want to gamble and end up a loser.

Makalaan pa ang ilang minuto at nakatulog na din siya sa kakaisip ng plano kung paano niya masolo ang dalaga sa mga sumunod na araw. Privacy ang kailangan nilang dalawa para magawa niyang manumbalik ang kanilang nakaraan ngunit bago nya ito gawin, he needs to get rid of Sofia from his life to make everything right.

'Bahala na!' He thought to himself as he slowly fell into slumber.

***

It was only 7 in the morning but some people were up so early seeking some comfort. Sofia was no exception as she went to Oliver's unit after being slapped with a terrifying news pagkabukas pa lamang ng kanyang mga mata. She d

    Pagkatapos makausap si Tommy, nagsimula ng magbihis ang dalaga at maghanda para pumasok sa opisina ngunit bago iyon ay binuksan niya muna ang tv upang subaybayan ang balita. Saktong sakto lang ng makita niya ang balitang inaabangan niya.Nakatitig siya ng mariin sa tv screen habang pinapakita ang mga bangkay na ipinasok sa mga bodybag. Hindi ito makilala at tanging ang mga damit lamang nila ang nagsisilbing alaala niya upang maidentify ang mga ito. Mukhang seryoso talaga ng mga tauhan niya sa pagsunod ng kanyang mga inutos na sagasaan hanggang hindi na makilala. Ngunit kahit gaano niya titigan ang mga ito ay hindi man lamang siya nakakaramdam ng kaunting awa o pagsisi sa kanyang nagawa. Nangingibabaw pa rin ang awa sa inosenteng anak na hindi man lamang nagkaroon ng pagkakataong makita ang kagandahan ng mundo.Habang nakikita niya ang mga taong nag-iiyakan para doon sa namatay, hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mapaismid. She thought that those bitches didn't deserve their tears becau

    Natulala si Sofia sa kanyang narinig. Hindi niya inaasahang hahamunin siya ni Oliver just to make her confess. Naguguluhan tuloy siya. If she spill what she hide, maaaring magalit sa kanya ang binata dahil dito at hindi lang iyon. Baka maisipan pa nitong patayin siya pagnagdilim ang paningin nito. 'What should I do?' She thought to herself, feeling desperate.While gathering her thoughts, her mobile phone started ringing, snapping her out from her dilemma. Sinagot niya ito and temporarily ignored her furious fiance. Her father's name appeared on her screen which caused her to sigh in relief. She cast a glance at him and waved her mobile phone in front of him while speaking."Dad is calling me, Ollie.""Answer it." He demanded coldly , glaring daggers at her.Marahan naman itong sinagot ng dalaga sa harapan ng binata."Dad," Sofia choked."Umuwi ka ngayon din." Was her father's curt demand and the line went on beeping. Hindi man lang siya binigyan ng pagkakataon na sumagot. Basta-bast

    Paulo met them halfway and was about to take action in a defensive mode but Ruella gestured her hand telling him silently that she's fine. Sofia passed by them in a hurry and left without looking back while crying."Paulo, go fill the task I told you. We'll be there in the study." She instructed indifferently as she led Oliver in her study room.Bumitaw sa kamay niya si Oliver after slamming the door shut. "Okay ka lang?" Tanong nito and it seemed like he was asking her with genuine concern.Ruella's heart instantly skipped a beat. She nodded and turned around but Oliver yanked her back to face him. Lumakas tuloy ang kabog ng dibdib niya at sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan napatitig siya sa mukha nito. Gaya ng dati, wala pa rin itong pinagbago. Hindi niya talaga alam kung anong meron siya na wala sa iba. Bakit nahirapan siyang magmove-on at palitan ito sa puso niya sa after all the heartaches that she gained from him."Bakit ganyan ka makatitig? Naalala mo na ba ulit na mahalin ako?"

    Meanwhile on the other hand…Sofia rushed home while crying her eyes out. Muntik na nito ibangga ang kanyang kotse sa kanilang gate buti na lamang at nakuha niyang apakan ang preno bago pa siya tuluyang tumama sa bakal."Ma'am Sofia!"Nagulat sa kanya ang kanilang guard at hindi nito mapigilang mapasigaw sa sobrang nerbiyos."Open the goddamn gate!" Sofia roared pagkababa pa lamang ng kanyang bintana. Tumango naman ang guard at dali-daling binuksan ang lagusan. Pumasok ang dalaga at humarurot papunta sa kanilang bahay. Malakas niyang hinampas ang kanyang pinto pagbaba ng sasakyan at tumakbo na sa living room habang umiiyak. Nadatnan nito ang kanyang mga magulang na nakaupo habang nanonood ng balita sa tv, both seems like waiting for her."Mom," Sofia began to sob loudly as she ran to her mother, hugging her tight."Dios mio, ija! Bakit ka umiiyak, ha?" Her mother, Mrs. Castillo rubbed her back soothingly as she asked."Ollie, he…" Sofia suddenly stopped herself from spilling out her

    Ruella's head was now starting to throb. Hindi niya akalaing aabot siya sa point na nagtatago na siya ng lalaki sa kanyang kwarto. Bakit nga ba? Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang dahilan ng kanyang pagkabalisa. Kung tutuusin, Paulo was only one of her men and she shouldn't feel anxious when she got busted like this but somehow she felt bothered for some unknown reasons. She felt guilty for Tommy even if they weren't in a proper relationship. She felt like she was cheating on him."Manahimik ka muna dito, pwede ba? Saglit lang 'to." She instructed the shirtless CEO who refused to sit on her bed."I won't lay in your bed." He groaned as he kept on pacing back and forth. He was obviously displeased with the woman's arrangement but he couldn't do anything to avoid it. If not for the fact that he was aiming something else to keep her by his side, he wouldn't agree to her plea. Sa pakiwari niya ay nagmumukha siyang kabit na pinipilit itago ng dalaga mula sa kanyang asawa which made him feel terr

    Left with no choice to make, Ruella gave in to Oliver's persistence. They eat lunch together while he discusses the important key points about their work for the rest of the week. They were professionals after all, thus the two pushed aside their conflicts in between and even agreed to create an annual team building activity in the next couple of days para sa pagkakaisa ng mga empleyado sa bawat department ng OLYMPUS.Ruella stared at him while speaking, looking all baffled. Shoving her food into her mouth, she murmured questioningly, "I thought you're starving? Why do you keep on talking?""I'm starving but I would like to discuss this matter with you while eating." He stated."Oliver, we can discuss the rest of the plan after lunch, alright? Let's get this done first." She directly stated while resuming shoving her food to her mouth."Sige. Sabi mo eh." He nodded in agreement and went on resuming eating as well.It took them half an hour to finish their meals and now, Ruella as the o

    Makalipas ang isang oras… Nahimasmasan din ang dalaga at gumanda na ang pakiramdam. Bumangon siya mula sa kama at nagpunta sa kanyang banyo upang maghilamos ngunit naalala niya ang suot na tshirt under her cardigan jacket kung kaya't naghubad ito at sinuri ang pinagmamayabang ni Oliver na brand.Napangiti siya habang nakatitig sa initials na nakasulat sa likod ng tag. Akalain ba naman nito na meron siyang naitabing limited editions of men's shirt from the same person in her wardrobe at the mansion? She was fond of wearing huge shirts ever since kaya naman minsan nung nagpunta overseas ang kanyang ama upang mag-attend ng designer's convention ay pinamili siya nito ng ilang piraso. Sealed pa ang mga iyon simula noong pagdating at nakatago lang sa kanyang drawer. Hindi niya ito nagalaw dahil nagkataong umalis siya sa puder ng kanyang ama noon. Para sa kanya ay magandang opportunity ito upang mapalitan ang damit ng binata at nang hindi na siya nagkaroon pa ng utang na loob sa kanya ngun

    Chairman Castillo and Oliver's discussion about Sofia took a few hours before it came to an end. As a father who loves his daughter dearly, he asked for Oliver's help to encourage his daughter to talk as soon as possible and Oliver agreed without hesitation. Though he didn't feel any sort of affection towards Sofia, he still wanted her to be safe before he cancelled their engagement. Whether Ruella accepted him or not, he still was adamant to remain single in the end. He felt guilty for wasting Sofia's life waiting for him. Sinubukan niya namang mahalin ang dalaga ngunit hindi niya talaga kayang turuan ang kanyang puso. It still beats for the Ventura lady at wala siyang magawa kundi sundin ito dahil sawang-sawa na siyang mamuhay na malungkot."I'll talk to her tomorrow, Uncle. Be at ease. Gagawin ko ang lahat para sabihin niya sa akin kung sino ang kanyang nabundol noon." Oliver assured him confidently."Maraming salamat, Ijo. Alam ko talagang sayo lang makikinig si Sofia dahil umii

    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
