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
Instead of calling Emman, Oliver dialed Tommy's number in a hurry."What the hell is going on?!"He asked the man directly because he knows that Ruella must've told him everything before heading towards her destination.Tommy snorted coldly. "I'm not one of your employees, Mr. Mitchell. I don't owe you any explanation.""Tell me what's going on!" Oliver demanded haughtily. "Ruella might be in danger!""You seemed confused." Tommy chuckled disapprovingly. "Ruella is mine to protect and Sofia is your responsibility. I hope you know that!""This is a matter between life and death! How could you be so-...""If you're curious, why not go back to your apartment? You should've got a good view from there." He said before he dropped the call.Oliver's jaw clenched as he dialed Emman's number."Dude, where are you? I've been trying to reach you since last night." Emman questioned right away.However, Oliver ignored his rants and shouted in panic. "I'll send you the location! Sunduin mo 'ko! Dal
When Ruella entered the apartment's door, her temple meets a cold object but she didn't show signs of panic instead she faced the person holding the gun directly."Where is she?"Sierra rolled her eyes and said, "Can't you at least pretend that you're scared of getting killed?""You know I can't unless you bring Dad here and let him point one in my face." She retorted."Well, you might not be scared but," Sierra rebuked, pointing her gun in a different direction. "She is..."Sofia took that as a hint and began shouting."Help! Please help!"Ruella's eyes darted lazily toward her. "You look awful. How much did you use this time?""Bitch! Anong pinagsasabi mo?!" Sofia screamed angrily."Did you finally lose it this time?" Ruella continued to ask. "Oliver's efforts went all in vain, I guess?""Shut up!" Sierra chimes in shouting. "Here's the deal," she said, picking up an envelope from the shelf nearby. "Sign this and I'll let her go!"Ruella swirled around, facing her sister at kinuha n
Despite the pain in her arm, Sofia managed to get out of Ruella's unit and headed towards the elevator upang tumakas dahil natatakot siyang maaresto ng mga pulis.Ang buong akala niya ay makakaalis na siya kapag tumigil ang elevator ngunit laking gulat niya ng makita ang apat na lalaki.Nakatingin ito parehas sa kanya pagkalabas pa lang ng elevator.Sofia lowered her head in defeat and slumped on the floor while clutching her bleeding arm."Sofia!""Anong nangyari?"Dali-daling lumapit si Emman at Oliver sa kanya habang dinaanan lamang siya ni Tommy at Joseph.Dumiretso ang dalawa sa unit ni Ruella at makalaan pa ang ilang minuto, Tommy went out with Ruella, bleeding in his arms while Joseph was busy talking in his phone.Tumigil ito sa tapat nila at nagsalita kay Sofia. "You dared try to kill her again, don't you? I won't let you off the hook this time!"Sofia shook her head, looking deathly pale. "It... It wasn't me!"Pagkatapos makipag-usap sa telepono, Joseph also approached them,
Mataas na ang araw ng magising si Oliver at pagtingin pa lamang nito sa kanyang wall clock, bigla siyang napatayo.It was 10 in the morning so he hurriedly searched for his mobile phone to check if he's got a call but he recalled that he intentionally shut it off yesterday.Binuksan niya ito and the notifications began to pour in his phone screen making him speechless at the moment. However, a certain person flashed into his mind, and he became eager to find its name.Tinignan niya ang mga ito ngunit nadismaya siya ng makitang wala siyang natanggap na mensahe galing kay Ruella which made him worried.He was about to call his assistant but his doorbell suddenly took his attention.Thinking that it might be Emman, he went to the door to check and he was surprised to see an unexpected guest standing outside his door.He opened it lazily, welcoming the guy. "What brought you here?" He asked."I'm here to show you something.""Get in." He ushered his guest into his living room before he a
Mabilis kumalat ang balita tungkol sa naging aksidente at pagkaospital ni Ruella ganun din ang pagkaaresto ni Sofia.Naging usap-usapan ang kanilang nakaraan and the netizens are actively joining the gossip as they found it interesting, causing every platform on social media to go hyped.Ilang oras pa lamang ang nakalipas ng pakawalan ni Tommy ang ebidensya and Sofia was directly sent in the interrogation room with her lawyer for questioning.Sofia tried to deny the charges against her as she stood confident and firm using her lawyer's tricks. However, the person who came to interrogate her was fed up and decided to throw a bomb into their face.Seeing all the evidence laid in front of her, she was rendered speechless as well as her lawyer, and by the end of the day, himas rehas ang dalaga kasama ng mga detainee na ngayo'y nakatitig sa kanya ng masama.Sofia shivered in the corner, bearing the pain in her arm while cursing Sierra in her mind.'Napakatanga ko! Bakit ba ako naniniwala s
