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
The woman was none other than Ruella. Kasalukuyan siyang nasa tabi ng ama, nakikipag-usap ng biglang tumawag sa Don ang isa sa kanilang mga tauhan sa warehouse informing the big boss that a woman was seeking out for their item. The man was ecstatic to announce that it was their generous client.Nakikinig lamang ang dalaga noong una ngunit bigla siyang nagkainterest ng marinig ang pangalan na 'Sofia Castillo'. She stared at her father intently. Knowing that his daughter holds a deep grudge about his client, he handed his mobile to his daughter para siya na lamang ang makipag-usap sa tao. Mabilis na gumana ang utak ng dalaga due to her extreme eagerness na paglaruan ang nasabing client. Her efficiency made the Don impressed dahil hindi ito nagpakita ng kaunting pag-aalinlangan sa kanyang mga sinasabi. She was planning to overdose that person which he found very satisfying."Give her what she wants. Let her indulge." She commanded coldly as the new plan suddenly played in her mind."Mi
It didn't take long before they both went out from the supermarket with several bags stuffed on their hands filled with their purchased items.Oliver went directly to his car stuffing his bags on the backseat whilst Ruella also hopped into hers. They drove back to their apartment building. She was trailing behind him.15 minutes passed and they both arrived at the parking lot. Sabay silang lumabas ng kanilang mga sasakyan dahil sa magkatabi lang ito. They both entered the building and ascended on the same lift.Coincidentally, they were alone inside as it ascended on their specific floor.Oliver's eyes rammed curiously on the things she was holding. "What's inside the travelling bag?" He inquired."Nothing much. Just a few things." She curtly responded. Now it was her turn to ram her eyes at the ecobags he was holding. "Ano ba 'yang mga binili mo?" Tanong niya."Hindi ba't sinabi ko na magluluto ako para sa dinner natin?" He reminded her. "Don't tell me, nagbago na ang isip mo?"Some
Castillo's Family VillaTahimik ang na ang buong paligid. Tulog na ang mga kasambahay ngunit sa isang silid ay may isang tao na nanatiling gising.Sofia had her eyes wide open like saucers. She was soaring high. Bangag na bangag siya sa ipinagbabawal na gamot na kanyang nabili makalaan lamang ang ilang oras bago sila nag hapunan.Napag-utusan siyang bumili ng dessert ng kanyang ina sa paborito nitong bakeshop ngunit sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan, naisipan niya lamang bigla na dumaan sa kanyang pinagkukunan to ask for a little amount but she never expected that the person was so generous. He had given her a lot and she's more than appreciative of it. Sa panahon ngayon, bihira na ang libre so she grab the golden opportunity at tinanggap niya ito ng walang pag-aalinlangan. She pushed aside her father's and Oliver's warning at nagpadala siya sa tukso.She felt depressed and anxious at the same time. Nahihirapan siyang tanggapin ang mga mga nangyayari, hindi niya alam kung paano siya hu
CDO City, Local airport…It was around half past midnight yet there were still a lot of people busy coming in and going out from the airport due to their flights. Others looked excited while the others painted exhaustion on their faces.Andrea dragged her suitcase nervously towards the exit while blending herself with the massive crowd. She had her head low as she took her slow steps towards the passageway. Kung hindi lamang siya pinagbantaan ni Ruella gamit ang kanyang mga magulang ay hindi sana siya uuwi ng sapilitan. She never thought of her to show up after a year. It was so surprising.She never expected her to stand bilang isa sa pinakamayaman na dalaga sa kanilang lugar. Recalling how the latter acted passively during her difficult times, she couldn't help mocking herself. Ang buong akala niya ay magaling siyang magpanggap ngunit nagkamali pala siya. Mas magaling si Roselle sa kanya. Hindi niya ito nakitaan ng kahit konting flaws para magduda siya sa katauhan nito. She took ev
