Pagdating, nakita ni Ruella ang sasakyan ng kanyang ama sa garahe kaya naman ay nagtungo na ito sa loob pagkababa ng kanyang sasakyan.

Mag-uumaga na ngunit nagtungo pa din siya sa opisina nito at hindi naman siya nabigo sapagkat nakita niyang nakaawang ang pinto nito. Ang ibig sabihin ay nandodoon pa ito sa loob.

Sinasadya niyang hindi iparinig ang kanyang yabag upang hindi nito mamalayan ang kanyang presensya at nang makarating ito sa pinto, narinig niya itong may kausap sa telepono.

"What do you mean?! Did you just say that they're here to meet them again?"

Napalakas ang boses nito na para bang nagulat sa sinabi ng kanyang kausap.

"You broke the deal between us and now you want me to spare them?" Nagbabantang tanong nito. "I can't put up with your arrangements any longer! I'm sorry but I can't respond to your request this time!"

Imbes na pumasok siya, minabuti niya munang tumayo at makinig sapagkat kinabahan siya. Kabisado niya ang tono ng pananalita ng kanyang ama kapag galit ito

    Makalipas ang tatlong araw, nagtungo si Ruella sa OLYMPUS.Pagpasok pa lamang nito sa opisina ng CEO, sinalubong na kaagad ito ng mahigpit na yakap ni Oliver."Pinag-alala mo ko, Rue." Bulong nito. "Thank God! You're safe!""We don't have much time left!" Pagmamadaling sambit ni Ruella. "Kailangan na nating umalis!""Of course!" Sagot naman ni Oliver. "Pinasundo ko na sila and we'll meet them at the airport."Tumango lamang si Ruella at hindi na nagsalita pa habang pinagmamasdan ang lalaki na nagligpit ng kanyang mga importanteng dokumento.Makalipas ang ilang sandali pa ay umalis na sila ng OLYMPUS at nagtungo sa airport.Habang nasa daan, panakaw na pinagmasdan ni Oliver si Ruella mula sa sulok ng kanyang mga mata. Hindi man lamang ito nag-abala na kasapin o tingnan siya.Sa tatlong araw na hindi niya ito nakita, walang naging ibang laman ang kanyang isip kundi siya. Hindi siya makatulog, makakain o makafocus sa opisina dahil sa matinding pag-alala. Marami siyang tanong ngunit hindi

    There's only one thing that her father cares about her the most and Ruella despises it. Since she became aware of her surroundings and the dealing of matters around her, he wanted her to be nothing but to follow his path and achieve his desire. It pricked her that he now resulted in using the most wicked means to control her knowing that this was her only weakness. He was such a cruel man of a father, to begin with by letting her witness his true nature and he became the worst person she had ever known after knowing that he didn't hesitate to include his granddaughter's life to toy with her emotions and even managed to push her in the very edge where she was standing in a cliff of no return. 'This was so absurd!' She thought gloomily while staring at her father in a hollow gaze. She used to admire him amidst his cruelty to others but now, that admiration turned to pure disgust. Frustration rocks the bottom of her pits for bearing the same blood running in her veins. Indeed, a chil

    Ruella couldn't hide the anger on her face whenever she thought about what her father said.She had asked him that day to clear The confusion in her mind."Why did you do it? Why did you betray me?"She meant only one thing. The separation between her and the baby and her father told her."They insist that I owed them a life." Her father explained. "They never believed that your mother and I conceived you out of affection. And since they couldn't get Louella and you back, they took the baby in exchange..."Ruella found it ridiculous.How could they take a life so easily that it doesn't belong to them in the first place? It was she who nurtured the baby in her tummy for seven months. Not to mention that the baby belongs to her and Oliver yet they took it away like a certain thing and even tried to hide its existence from her.Her heart crumbled in pain."And you... You allowed it just like that?" She asked shakily. "Don't you know how much the baby means to me, Dad? She means everythin

    The soaked crimson-red dressing that used to be white greeted Oliver's sight and it made him even more furious.Ruella didn't like the words she heard from him.Though she knew why he was so angry, she still couldn't let him have that sort of idea in his mind.If there's someone who needs to stop her father's madness, it should be her and not him! Her father won't hesitate to take him down and her sacrifice would turn to nothing in the end. She wouldn't allow it! Not when she had already planned it all in mind!"I can't let you do that!" She successfully took his attention by saying so.In a snap, Oliver felt the veins in his forehead protruding. It was nearly exploding due to his immense anger but his hands remained cautious while tending her wound. "Of course," he scoffed mockingly. "You won't let me destroy your dearest father. He would always remain your priority over someone else, right? Neither I nor our daughter could steal that spot from him..."Ruella began to grimace in pai

    While Oliver was focused on listening to Ruella's words, his jaws slowly clenched, and his expression darkened.By the time she was done talking, he had straightened up, stepped back, and stared at her grimly before he turned around and stormed out of the cabin without saying a single word. He seemed to have been so angry that he didn't even cast a final glance at her before leaving.Ruella felt something snap inside her thus she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.No matter how much her heart was aching, it had nothing to do with him. She has to deal with it to keep him away from her father's sinister thoughts until the end. He had used him once to control her and she's not allowing it to happen again!Hangga't pinapakita niya na may halaga pa sa kanya si Oliver, her father would always look for every opportunity to toy and keep her within control and hindi niya alam kung ano pa ang mga maaaring sumunod na maglalaro sa isipan nito. This time, she wanted to take a few steps ahead

    It was as if Ruella was brought back to the time when she was still a little girl.Whenever she closed her little eyes, she felt someone hovering above her and when she opened her eyes, her mother's beautiful face would always greet her sight. The memory never faded throughout those years.Louella would smile down at her, kiss her forehead, and urge her to sleep. Sometimes, she would read her bedtime stories or sing her a lullaby until she felt drowsy.Her mother had loved and protected her back then and she yearned for nothing not even her father's love and presence. Unlike most children, desiring both, Ruella didn't wish for more.Tears welled up in Ruella's eyes as she mumbled in a daze. "I miss you so much, Mom..."Arianna, who was currently standing beside her gasped in surprise. Her eyes drifted from her cousin to the woman hovering above Ruella. She opened her mouth to speak but swallowed it back, fearing that she might offend her cousin. It seems to her that she mistook the wo

    Oliver's mind was in a mess but he didn't forget to call his best friend, Emman to check on the company. He wanted to know if Don Antonio did something suspicious behind his back since he probably knew Ruella was with him by now. "May nangyari ba habang wala ako?" He immediately asked."Aside from the fact that I was taking over your piled work, wala naman," Emman responded dramatically. However, makalipas ang ilang segundo, nagsimula na ito mag-usisa. "Do you expect something to happen? What was it?" And he even demanded. "Tell me!"Oliver never meant to drag his buddy into his mess but he felt like he had to share it with him even for once. Just in case Ruella's father might do something sneaky. It was best if Emman knew what was coming so he could prepare at least."Listen to me..." He then began.Ipinaliwanag ni Oliver ang pwedeng mangyari at matapos ang ilang minutong pag-uusap, nakabuo ang dalawa ng counterattack plan.Emman was about to drop the call when someone barged in, sc

    Makalipas ang sumunod na araw, Ruella woke up feeling better.Nakita niya si Arianna na nakabantay sa kanya at tulog pa itong nakayuko sa may gilid ng kama. Nahiya siyang gisingin ito kaya marahan siyang tumayo mula sa higaan upang magtungo sa banyo.Napansin nya na kaunti na lamang ang laman ng kanyang IV drip kaya, tinanggal nya na rin ito at nilapag ang karayom sa kanyang pinaghigaan. Masakit pa din ang kanyang sugat ngunit kumpara noong isang gabi, medyo na okay na ito. Sa pakiwari nya ay kaya niya na kumilos na dahan-dahan kung alang-alang sa sariling kapakanan.Pagkapasok nya ng banyo, nilinis nya kaagad ang sarili gamit ang mga basic necessities na nakita bago sya ulit lumabas."My God!" Bulalas ni Arianna. "I've been looking for you everywhere!""Did something happen?" Nabiglang tanong nya.Marahan namang kumalma si Arianna pagkakita sa kanya. "No. I just thought that you're gone!"Ruella shook her head in confusion. "Why would you think of that?""Ahm..." Arianna fidgeted he

    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
