At exactly 7:00 pm, Tommy and Ruella arrived at MS Hotel.

Pagkababa ng kanilang sasakyan, they began to entwine their arms like real couple as they entered the entrance allocated for VIPs only.

Nagdatingan na din ang mga bisita at nakasunod ang mga ito sa kanila.

Pagpasok pa lamang ng pinto ay sinalubong na siya agad ni Sofia kasama si Oliver.

"Miss Ventura, Mr. Torres, I'm glad you came." She greeted them with a bright smile. However, that didn't last long when she ran her eyes at the latter's appearance.

"You look deadly gorgeous, Miss Ventura. Thanks for coming." She praised her sourly.

The dress Ruella wore was the one she was looking for but the manager said that it was taken by someone else. It never occurred to her that she would be seeing it wrapped around her voluptuous body like it was tailor-made for her.

'This b*tch is so damned annoying!' She thought while clenching her fists hard.

Ruella smiled seductively in return and said, "Oh, it's rare for you to do this ki

    "Dinner is about to start," Ruella grumbled under her breath as they walked towards their designated table."I want to take you somewhere..." Tommy whispered in her ear."Where?" She asked him."Sa lugar kung saan masosolo kita," he replied with a devious smirk."Hmm, gusto ko sana yan kaso lang..." She halted in the middle of her statement when she caught sight of Joseph, storming in and Tommy followed her gaze. "I must respect what's written in the contract..."Tommy's jaws clenched at the sight of him. How he badly wants to throw a punch at that face for marrying the woman he loved so much but he can't. Ruella would feel upset if he go against her will therefore he had to grip himself until everything ends just as she promised him."Hmm, then I should be contented with this for now..." he sighed with frustration evident in his voice."That's what I ask you. Until then we can have so much time whenever you want..." She whispered back."Will you be able to go with me if I want us to

    When Oliver entered the door, Sofia abruptly came to get him."Ollie, come. Dad wants you to meet my brother." She squealed in excitement.Oliver just smiled helplessly as he couldn't bring himself to say that he already met him just a couple of days earlier and that he was standing next to Ruella like something was happening between them. "You seemed so happy..." he whispered."I'm not." Sofia denied. "I just don't want to kill the vibe. I haven't seen my father laugh like this before. I mean, I always make him feel bad.""I'm glad to hear that you began considering your father's emotions. Please keep it up." He said lightly."I just realized that I've been too selfish for acting so immature. I don't want to be left alone, Ollie." Sofia almost teared up as she spoke. "Kaya susubukan ko if that what makes my father happy.""Alright. Let's go meet him."Ngumiti lamang ang dalaga habang papalapit sila sa kinauupuan ng dalawa.When Joseph looked up, his gaze met Oliver's, and for a mome

    Sofia was both agitated and anxious seeing Andrea standing beside her nemesis kaya naman hindi niya napigilan ang kanyang sarili. She finally lost her temper in front of everyone and because of it, she passed out due to her immense anger.Her parents were shocked by her aggressiveness as well as Oliver. He hurried to take her to the hospital.Joseph and Ruella followed to the hospital while Andrea was instructed to return to her place.She waited silently outside while Joseph went to get her something to drink.The door to the ward opened and Oliver stalked off."Why are you still here?" He asked her."What's wrong with her?" She asked back."She's emotionally unstable sabi ng doctor." Ruella stood up lazily and said, "Hmm, I'm relieved. At least she's alive. Makakatulog ako ng mahimbing kahit papaano."Tatalikod na sana siya ngunit kinapitan ni Oliver ang kanyang braso. "Sandali, I'm just curious.""Tungkol saan?""Why do you have to hire Andrea when you know she is Sofia's friend?"

    Hearing Oliver's words, her hold on her pen tightened but she didn't say anything. She just stood up from her seat and went to her pantry to make a cup of coffee. Then she brought it in front of him."Here you go...""Salamat."He briefly replied before he brought it to his nose. "This really smells so good and relaxing..." Dagdag pa nito bago tuluyang tikman ang kape.Ruella then went back to her seat and resumed signing the documents, ignoring him.Makalipas ang ilang segundo, tumunog ang kanyang telepono.Sinagot niya ito nang makita ang caller ID."Dad," She greeted."I'm going on a business trip. Will you be able to handle everything on your own while I'm gone?" Her father asked at the other end of the line."Biglaan naman yata 'to. Which country are you heading?" Tanong ni Ruella."I'll tell you when I get there. As of now, I want you to focus on whatever you planned. I'll handle the rest.""Dad," Ruella suddenly went emotional. "Anong oras ang flight mo?""In two hours.""I'm s

    After dropping two consecutive calls, nagpatuloy sa pagmamaneho si Ruella papunta sa airport. This time, her concern doubled thus she speed up like a racer.Her secretary was silently clutching his seatbelts while his eyes were tightly shut.Ilang minuto lamang ang kanyang ginugol at nakarating din sila. Dali-dali itong lumabas sa kanyang sasakyan at tumakbo sa loob upang habulin ang kanyang ama leaving her secretary after giving out a few instructions.Dumiretso siya sa private room kung saan madalas nagpapalipas ng oras ang kanyang ama at hindi naman ito nabigo. Nakita niya itong nakaupo at kasalukuyang may kausap sa telepono.She silently took the seat beside him and waited till his call gets done."I'm leaving the country at hindi ko alam kung kailan ang balik ko. Yes, Ruella is in charge of everything." She heard him say and she wondered whom he was talking to."I'm sorry." She heard him giving out an exasperated sigh.

    Since taxis are forbidden from entering Ventura's mansion premises, bumaba ang dalaga sa labas ng gate at sumilip ito sa maliit na awang, about to press the buzzer."Miss Rue?""It's me,"The guard on duty seemed too startled at her abrupt appearance but still opened the gate for her.She murmured her thanks before she proceeded to walk toward the house, however, the guard tried to catch up with her."Miss, I... I have something to tell you." He stuttered and Ruella halted in her tracks, wondering what he was about to say."Miss... Miss Sierra," He seemed hesitant to go on as if he was having a hard time containing whatever running in his mind."What about her?" Ruella asked curiously."She... She performed a little reunion inside..." The guard stammered seemingly nervous as he confessed."Reunion?" Ruella repeated and asked. "With who?""With... With your siblings..."No wonder, the guard looked nervous and frustrated. He broke Don Antonio's rule and even if it's unintentional, the l

    Oliver couldn't describe how he felt. A lot of questions began forming in his head and either Sofia or Ruella can answer but he doubt if one of them would be honest enough to tell the whole story. However, he must at least try to find the answers to those bugging questions or he might go crazy.He called Sofia out then they went to a place where they could talk in peace. Sofia who was panicking earlier, manage to calm down her inner turmoil and decided to act naturally. Without showing any signs of disorientation, she smiled at him and asked."Ollie, what's the occasion?""Wala lang. Naisip ko lang na lumabas kasama ka. In a few days, I won't be able to do this kind of stuff with you so I took advantage of this rare opportunity." He replied trying to sound casual as he used to be. "Na-nagkita ba kayo ni dad?" Tanong ni Sofia.Tumango si Oliver ng marahan before he faces her. "What was he talking about, Sofia? He said that the incident this morning was related to that accident last y

    Pagsikat ng araw, sakto naman na natapos din ni Ruella ang kanyang ginagawa.Binalik niya muna sa loob ng safe ang mga importanteng dokumento bago siya nagtungo sa kanyang kwarto upang magpahinga.Kakapikit pa lamang ng kanyang mga mata when Oliver barged in with a tray in his hand."Rue," He called out gently."Hayaan mo muna ako matulog, utang na loob lang." She groaned while covering her face with a pillow."No way! Kailangan mo muna kumain bago matulog otherwise hindi kita tatantanan. Kukulitin kita ng kukulitin hanggang sa manawa ka." He swore as he began to shaking her arm.Ruella, whose eyes remained closed tried to dodge until she finally get fed up by his nagging."Wala ako sa mood kumain. All I need is a peaceful rest!" She protested sleepily."Then you shouldn't have brought me here with you." He said, "I'm just feeling grateful to you for picking me up at the bar last night kaya ginawa kita ng breakfast."Her brows furrowed then her eyes half-open.Recalling how the barten

    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
