Roselle stared at the guy in shock. Did he just ask her to be his? She was confused, baffled and dumbfounded. "What… What are you trying to say?" She questioned shakily.
She felt his tongue licking her sensitive skin through her nape and that temporarily made her shiver and closed her eyes. Nakakahiya man, she admitted that the tingling sensation given by his kisses was giving her an undeniable pleasure especially to her very core. She is a virgin. Oliver was the first to make skin to skin contact with her. Her body reacted quickly to his torments and now she was feeling something wrong within."Do you like me, hm?" He questioned through his wet kisses.Tikom ang bibig ng dalaga habang pinakiramdaman nito ang bawat daan ng labi ng binata sa patungo sa kanyang shoulder blades. As if she was hypnotized. No matter how her mind shouts at her, she didn't budge and even tilted her head to give more access to his wants. "Mmm…" A soft moan gradually escaped from her throat as she felt his hands slowly rummaged her silk top. She was lost in his kisses and forgot the possible consequences of the aftermath. She ignored her mind and followed what's been her heart yearning for.Oliver proceeded to unbutton Roselle's silky blouse slowly and cautiously. Though feeling so damned excited like a kid opening his christmas gift, he restrained himself so as to not scare the lady. He badly wants her this time after ignoring her for the whole month. He has been so distracted all the time but he remained firm to his resolve. Now was his breaking point. If he wants to release his desire, he wants it to be with the person he likes and not anyone else. "O-Oliver…" Roselle was panting through her erratic breathing."Hmm?" He hummed as he continued to assault her with his warm lips."This… It's…" She stammered nervously as she caught his hand which was about to hold her curves.He stared at her wide-eyed. "This is your first time?" He asked in disbelief.Fidgeting her fingers, she nodded meekly. "Ye-yes…"Oliver seemed so shocked at her revelation but based on her movements, he was certain that she was telling him the truth. The lady was pure and innocent and he wondered how she managed to survive to be whole until now. His urge to claim her intensifies after knowing the truth thus he pacified her gently. "Don't be scared… I won't hurt you…" he assured her as he guided her to lay down on his bed.Half an hour later…"Ah, Oli-Oliver," humahangos tawag ng dalaga. She was holding onto him tight as he tried to enter his massive erection in her entrance. "It… It hurts…" she complained tearfully. Beads of sweat began popping out from her forehead."Relax, baby. The pain would eventually dissipate in a few seconds…" He pacified as he slowly pushed his huge barrel inside her. "Umh…" A deep groan tore from his lips as he fully occupied her empty space. He bent over and caught her lips, kissing her as he pounded into her slowly to muffle her cries. As seconds passed by, her hold on him tightened. She was losing some air and Oliver had to let go of her mouth after kissing her for a long time. "Uhhh…" Her sweet moan berated like music in his ears as he hastens his thrusts. It was getting harder and deeper."Roselle… I'm getting there…""Oliver…" In just a few minutes, they finally came to their finishing goals. They both shattered in each other's arms while sweating and breathing hard. Now, they were both exhausted from their play and just gradually closed their eyes as their bodies remained entangled.***"Stay away from men, Ruella! I warn you! They would only mess everything in your life and I will kill whoever lays a finger on you! You are my chosen heiress and you must obey my rules! "Roselle's eyes snapped wide open as she dreamed of her father. He was so furious while scolding her with his eyes blazing in fury ready to take anyone's life. That successfully took her back to her right senses. Her heart raced as she glanced at her surroundings and found herself at Oliver's room. The man was sleeping peacefully with his back turned against her view. She gasped and immediately jumped off from his bed. Feeling the slight pain in her lower part of the body, she managed to dress up fast and left the guy's room. Now, she was fully certain that she was completely lost in herself earlier and that she had given her purity to him easily. No matter what she thought of it, it was too late to regret. The damage has been done and there's nothing else she could do to rectify the situation. She has to accept the consequences of her actions and hope for the best in the next few days. She was just hoping that everything would be fine. But how was she supposed to face him this time? She was certain that he was drunk. What if he failed to remember their night together? What should she do then? She wouldn't be the one to remind him! 'That was embarrassing!' she thought while shivering.She shook her head and hurried to clean herself. Before the sun broke, she left the Mitchell's family villa and went to her apartment to take some rest and hide from shame. She shut her phone off and just laid on her couch while watching a movie on N*****x.Meanwhile, back to the villa…The sun was shining brightly when Oliver woke up. He massages his temples soothingly. He felt groggy yet he was certain that he successfully took Roselle to bed last night. As he glanced around his room, he found a blood stain in his sheets which caused him to feel guilty. He was lost in his dire desire for her and just followed what his heart yearns for. 'Oliver, you fucked everything up!' he thought inwardly as he jumped out of his bed to do his morning routine.After having done so, he went out of his room and found his mother reading something in the living room. He marched towards her and gave her a smooch on her cheek."Good morning, Mom." Bati niya sa ina habang umupo ito sa tabi niya."Ollie, are you having someone in your life right now?" His mother suddenly questioned him out of the blue.He nodded. "Sofia Castillo. The one who took care of you before Roselle's arrival." He explained nonchalantly."Huh!" Mrs. Mitchell shook her head. "That pathetic woman that always tried to impress me with her irrelevant shenanigans?" She rolled her eyes while speaking out loud. She looks so annoyed at the thought of Sofia."Mom, you mean to say that you still recall everything that she has done for you?" He raised his brows while asking his mother. He recalled that she was forgetful back then so how come she remembers it now? He suddenly felt suspicious of her.Mrs. Mitchell glared at her son. "I'm not totally oblivious to what happened in this house. That woman was trying to get my sympathy and thought of me as a fool and I just gave her a dose of her medicine." Finally she smirked deviously with a playful click of her tongue. Recalling the previous month where she played Sofia like a fool, she burst out laughing in amazement."Mother, you should probably try to accept her from now on." He demanded."No way! I won't accept her! I want Roselle for you, son. I like her." She began to protest."But Mom, I need Sofia for our family business."BANG!Mrs. Mitchell slammed the thick fashion magazine on the table furiously and stood up. "Either you watch me die, Ollie or I'll follow your siblings abroad and leave you alone! I can't stand her presence with you! Get married to her for hell I care but you have to stay away from that poor girl! I don't want her to get hurt!" His mother spat.Oliver's eyes widened in shock as his chest tightened. "What do you mean, mom?" He asked with uncertainty.She pointed her trembling finger on his face and gnashed her teeth. "Me and your father, we never raised you to become a scumbag. Do you think I'm not aware of what was happening here? My God Oliver! You're going to destroy her life for taking her precious thing away!" She yelled at him.The maids were alarmed at his mother's voice and immediately came forward only to receive a death glare from him. "All of you! Leave us!" He demanded coldly."You must be responsible for her." She ordered while gritting her teeth."I can't, Mom." He reasoned out briefly."Then why the hell did you… did you…" Mrs. Mitchell wasn't able to finish her words when a loud clang of high heels berated in her ears. Her eyes turned sharp as she spotted someone with shopping bags in hands, entering the door. She snorted, turned around and left without hesitation.Mabilis lumipas ang oras at ngayo'y nagdidilim na. The street lights started to light up on the streets across the lady's apartment. It was around 6:00 pm when she stood up from the couch. Having a lot of time to rest, she felt refreshed and perturbed. She cleaned up her mess on the table and took a quick bath. She was getting ready to return back to the villa when her mobile phone vibrated on her coffee table. When she peered at her screen, she smiled widely from ear to ear.Mrs. Mitchell was calling her…She answered and aligned it on her ear as she greeted cheerfully. "Mrs. Mitchell,""Roselle dear, how was your day?" The older woman sounds interested in her whole day escapade."It's fine, Mrs. Mitchell. I'm going back to the villa right now." Nagmamadaling sabi niya."Dear, I called to tell you that you can stay at your home tonight. Don't hurry to come back and enjoy your time being with your mother." Mrs. Mitchell blurted out softly."Sigurado po kayo, Madam?" She asked. Nagtat
A month later…Mrs. Mitchell had fully recovered and now, Roselle's duty was over. She was currently in her occupied room packing up all her basic necessities and the rest of her stuff.Since that night, Roselle has tried hard to distance herself from Oliver because she felt that he wasn't into her but the guy seemed to be oblivious to it. He always approached her and even took her somewhere to dine during her day off. She was left with no choice but to give in over and over again. She was enslaved with her heart's desire and there's nothing she could do to prevent it from getting escalated. They formed a vague bond which couldn't be counted as a couple but they indulge themselves to their heart's content. Masaya siya whenever they were together and Oliver appeared the same. The problem was, both of them remained tight-lipped and neither of the two of them tried to emphasize on what they actually are. Lovers or bed partners? These questions always bug her off when she's alone but none
4 hours later at the hospital…Roselle nervously stared at the female doctor who was currently reading her test results. She was feeling dizzy and sleepy at the same time yet she was curious about what was wrong with her body as this had never occurred to her before. "Miss Ventura, according to your test results you are perfectly fine." The female doctor remarked with a professional smile but she took her pen and jotted something on a piece of paper."Doc, seryoso po ba kayo?" Nag-aalangan na tanong ng dalaga."Yes!" The doctor promptly replied."Then bakit po ako nahihilo at nagsusuka this morning, Doc?" Tanong niya."You're 4 weeks pregnant, Miss Ventura." The doctor smiled at her while handling the piece of paper. "Buy this prescription. You have to take these vitamins regularly to make sure the baby will grow healthy. In the next couple of months, be present in the obstetrician department for your prenatal check ups."Roselle froze but eventually nodded. The word 'pregnant' succe
A year later…Ventura's Residence…Sa isang malaki at kakaibang kwarto, an unconscious woman was laying in the middle of a spacious bed. Her skin was pale as a sheet, eyes were tightly shut, and there's a holter monitor on her right side that keeps on beeping along her bedside. She was in a comatose state. Series of wires are connected to her skin just to keep her stabilized. On her left side was stationed a huge medical oxygen tank which cordially supported her breathing through an oxygen mask. She was none other than Roselle Ruella Ventura who remained fighting for her life from the first day she was confined in a hospital up until now that she was back to her father's side. In the corner stood a very exhausted looking middle aged man, watching over the unconscious form. His eyes were bloodshot, unmoving as he waited for some miracle to happen. His fists clenched tightly beneath his trousers pockets because he was losing faith when it came to his daughter's condition. It's been a ye
Sa kabilang banda…Sa OLYMPUS, CEO'S OFFICE…"Emman, how is it going?" Oliver sounds terribly frustrated while staring at his friend/assistant.Mahigit isang taon na ang nakalipas ng tuluyan niyang inabandona si Roselle ngunit hindi niya pa rin ito makalimutan. He always yearns for her presence in his life. Their time together was still fresh in his memories and he wanted to see her so bad. The moment he walked out from her apartment that day, he wanted to run, take back what he said and apologize for breaking her heart but his mind said otherwise. Though feeling terrible for what he had done, he continued to leave without looking back but that doesn't mean that he has given up on her completely. He has plans and he wanted to get her back after getting an uphold footing on OLYMPUS as the CEO. Makalipas ang isang linggo, he was engaged to Sophia Castillo and they are planning to get married in six months but his mother left him abiding her words that she would never agree to whatever
From the corner, just a few tables away from the podium, Oliver and Sofia froze in their current reserved seats as the celebrant swept her frosty gaze and smiled towards her guests. They both fell speechless and thunderstruck upon seeing the sophisticatedly looking woman standing elegantly right in front of them. "That woman! She was—..." Sofia's mouth gaped in shock as her eyes started to darken. Her face slowly turned ghastly pale and for some reason, she lowered her head while gnashing her teeth in silence. Oliver clenched his fist hard inside his pockets and gazed at the woman he longed so much to see. He noticed that her belly was back to its original shape just like her body and now he felt a sudden surge of excitement to meet his child. He was certain that she had delivered the fruit of their intimate times and he wanted to acknowledge the kid as his if she allowed him to. Fulfill his duties as the father and might consider things about the two of them if he would be given a c
Watching Ruella and Tommy's back slowly dissipating, Oliver turned speechless whilst Sofia quickly fished out her mobile phone from purse and dialed a random number from her contacts. She ignored the fact that Oliver was still standing beside her. All she was concerned about was to talk to someone she knew without giving a damn to her surroundings. Sinagot na naman ang kanyang tawag after a few rings and now she was aiming her anger at the person she was calling."Miss Castillo, it's been a while." A man's voice cordially berated on the other end."I think you owe me an explanation" She spat coldly."About what?" The man sounds confused."Look into the goddamn news and you will see." She murmured, gritting her teeth before she dropped the call and shoved her phone back in her purse. She tilted her head and found Oliver's piercing gaze stabbed right in her face. She suddenly felt a cold shiver running down her spine. She felt nervous."Who were you talking to, huh?" He asked curiously,
Monday morning…Alas singko pa lamang ay gising na ang dalaga upang makapag handa sa panibagong tatahaking yugto ng kanyang buhay. Her birthday party celebration last friday night was just the start of how she accepted the entire ordeal which was specifically arranged by her father just for her. The news about her sudden existence as the Don's heiress spread like wildfire shocking the entire city overnight but the scenario at the garden never appeared on the news. It was like it never happened and just pushed aside.Now, she was ready to face what was coming on her way and this time she swore to enjoy and embrace whether it was pleasure or pain that comes with the consequences from all of it. She had tried her best to fulfill her mother's dying wish before but she only failed. She even lost her child in the process and that was her bottom line."Rue?" Tommy knocked on her door gently."Come in," she urged while sitting on her dresser facing the mirror. She was still wrapped in her bath
Two days later...Ruella woke up in a daze, looking as if she was floating somewhere in the clouds.She looked around and found herself lying in an unfamiliar bed under an unfamiliar ceiling. The chandeliers were quite familiar to her sight but she couldn't recall where she exactly had seen them. Her head swirled on the other side, the walls had paintings she was not familiar with.'Where am I exactly?' She thought.She had no recollection of whatever happened after she passed out.She made a quick rundown of herself, she was still wrapped in her silk robe which somehow put her guard down. Then she tried to recall the events bit by bit, and Oliver suddenly appeared in her mind.She jumped out of bed to look for him but the door tore open, revealing Oliver himself dressed in his famous pair of blue suit, white shirt and pants and a pair of black leather shoes which made him look like a Greek god who just descended from somewhere between heaven and hell. Not only that, but his beard was
Somewhere in the sky...Sierra's foxy-like eyes were twinkling. Her usually flawless face was now painted with scars and she looked creepier than anyone on board. 'Who would have thought that I could get the position I desired with someone's help?' She thought in amazement. 'Man, I thought my luck had left me but I'm wrong! I should thank that person as soon as I meet him or rather bring him to heaven for pulling me out of that hellhole.'She recalled the days when her father punished and abandoned her for his chosen heiress because she happened to shoot her in the chest.That day, as soon as he arrived from somewhere she lost count of, he ordered his men to bring her into one of the rooms in the mansion.She was terrified by that because that was her first time in that room. All the things inside made her skin crawl and made her sick to the stomach to the point that she puked everything she had eaten earlier that day.Then she heard from them that Ruella went there frequently after
Oliver was trying to figure out Don Antonio's thoughts when Ulysses stormed into Ruella's room."Mr. Mitchell," he called out in a whisper. "Mr. Ventura wants to talk to you."Oliver nodded. Soon he followed Ulysses downstairs.He handed him over the phone."How's everything going?" Don Antonio's voice sounded rough and impatient on the other end. "Which one of you is the child's match donor?"'How did he know?' Oliver thought but then again, for a guy as influential as him especially in the underworld, he surely has the source to the latest updates of their activities wherever they go. 'It must be his minions.' He thought.He cleared his throat about to speak but the latter beat him to it."There might be a rare possibility that neither of you matched as her donor."Oliver sighed helplessly. Of course, he knew about this.Before coming to the country, he had done a lot of research and it irked him to think that there could be such a possibility."There could be..." Oliver stated matt
Similar to the speed of lightning, Oliver swiftly entered the backseat."You! What are you doing here?" She asked with eyes widening in pure astonishment. "I'm coming with you!" He simply replied."Get out!" She demanded. Her voice blazed with anger as she added. "Take a taxi!"He shook his head stubbornly. "Not happening!"The foreign guy stared at the two back and forth, getting confused. He wondered where this man came from and how the hell did he manage to anger his Lady boss like this. Does he even have the slightest idea of who he was messing with?"Boss?" He chimed in. "Shall I get him off the car?"Ruella gave him a death stare. "Are you sick of talking? How about I cut that damned tongue for you?""S-sorry, Boss!" He grumbled apologetically. "I'll drive you to the airport as soon as possible."Hindi niya ito sinagot. Nakatitig lamang siya kay Oliver habang ito ay pikit matang nakasandal sa kanyang tabi."Do you really wish to see the real me, Oliver?" Tinanong niya ito.Mara
"Lucas!" Marella tried to stop her husband as she saw him getting ready to go. "You remember trying to hold her for 48 hours, right?"Saka lamang ito naalala ni Lucas. Tinignan niya ang asawa. Napansin nito ang pagkabalisa. "I don't even know how to face her!" Sambit ni Marella habang . "All this while, we've been nothing but cruel to her. We already took her daughter from her and are now about to ask for her help. I feel ashamed, Lucas!""It's a matter of life and death, Marella. We can't just stand and watch our little Louella die without doing anything!" Lucas' voice trembled with emotion. "If I have to lower my pride to gain her forgiveness, I'll do it to save her. I hope her father didn't turn her heart into stone otherwise...""No!" Marella interrupted her husband. "She's here because she loves her daughter and is willing to help!""Donating her bone marrow differs from bearing another child, Marella." Lucas reminded her. "It could change her life and Antonio would never allow
Pagdating ni Oliver sa hospital, nagtungo ito kaagad sa loob upang magpa-check.Since Ruella doesn't match, he expected that he must be Louella's match. They were father and daughter after all so It's impossible not to.He was brought into a private room and after a few hours, he was wheeled out.Tulad ng hiniling niya, dinala din siya sa ward kung saan naroon ang dalaga. He wished to stay with her until they both regained their strength para makapag-usap na rin.Habang mahimbing na natutulog ang dalawa sa magkahiwalay na kama, palihim na bumisita naman si Aurora. Marahan siyang pumasok sa loob at pinagmasadan ang dalawa. Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang sayang naramdaman at noon lamang niya naisip ang bagay na dapat matagal niya na ginawa.'Forgive me, Louella! I couldn't protect your daughter before but I promise not to cower anymore! I'll do everything to get her back into this family.'Tahimik itong umiyak habang inaalala ang kapatid ng ilang oras bago ito tuluyang umalis at bumalik sa
Panandaliang nawala si Oliver sa kanyang ulirat.Hindi niya lubos maisip na ito ang kanyang dadatnan sa loob ng isang malawak na kwarto. Bukod pa roon, naguguluhan din siya sa nakita."These..." Maiksing sambit niya habang marahang pinaikot ang kanyang paningin sa buong silid. "Why do you have all of these?"He was amazed to see a lot of Ruella's photos attached to the wall. They were taken from her childhood till now. They also have a shot at the airport where they hopped on the Royal family's private jet."Isn't it obvious?" Mrs. Salvatorre asked. "I thought you were smart? Don't tell me we're wrong about you, young man!"Oliver stared at the walls. "She believed that all of you had completely abandoned her since birth but in fact, you're looking after her secretly.""Of course," Mrs. Salvatore seemed pleased that Oliver finally understood the true meaning of what he saw. She continued, "The royal blood still runs in her veins and we can't deny that she still belongs to us. Antonio,
Ruella's mouth hung wide open. "Anong ibig mong sabihin, Ollie?"She suddenly felt uneasy.Ang buong akala niya ay nagkasundo na sila. Hiniling nito sa binata na magkanya-kanya na lamang sila. Kung ano man ang naging pinagsamahan nila, hiniling ni Ruella na ibaon na nila ito sa limot at magpatuloy na lamang sila sa buhay. Hindi niya akalain na magmamatigas pa ito."You can think whatever that is," Oliver replied curtly. "I won't let you throw me away from your life, Rue. I swore from seeing you again that I'm not letting you go.""Oliver!" Ruella hissed. "Huwag mo na 'to ipilit!""No Rue!" Oliver protested. "You listen to me. Kinailangan mo nang pumili! Time is ticking!"Ruella didn't know what to say. Mukhang hindi niya na ito kayang pigilan pa. Papayag na lang ba siya sa gusto nito? Paano kung ikapapahamak niya ito?Ruella's fingers trembled in fear. "I can't let you do that, Oliver. There's a lot of things that you don't know.""Then start telling me!" He urged impatiently. "This i
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
