Natalia Punongbayan. They call her "extraordinary," and for good reason. She's not just someone who stands out in a crowd; she's someone who can fundamentally alter the course of lives with a single, calculated step. They say she can ruin someone's life just by stepping into it. Her friends call her "troublemaker," a term that speaks volumes about her cunning. It means she's a force of nature, someone who can navigate any situation, escape any consequence, and always come out on top. She's a con artist, a master manipulator, able to weave intricate webs of deception that leave people tangled and bewildered. She can twist people's minds around her little finger, making them believe anything she wants. And when things get tough, she simply disappears, leaving behind a trail of shattered lives and unanswered questions. But even the most skilled manipulator can make a mistake. And for Natalia, that mistake was a monumental one. She was supposed to target a specific man, disrupt his life, and leave him reeling. But she got it wrong. She ended up targeting the wrong groom, the wrong wedding. She pretended to be his mistress, claiming to be pregnant, all for a scheme that was supposed to be flawless. But it wasn't. Argo Greensmith, the groom of the wedding Natalia mistakenly attended, refused to let her slip away unscathed. Fueled by a desire to ensure she faced consequences for her deceitful actions, he stood firm in his decision to hold her accountable for her misdeeds.
View MoreSpecial Chapter Love After the wedding, we went straight to the resort to greet the guests who attended the gathering. Tonight's party was also simple. Almost only select guests attended the reception. Almost everyone was happy with the way the ceremony went, especially daddy and mother who seemed to be having trouble talking to Argo's mommy. "Congratulations to our newlyweds!" Christof pronounced loudly while holding the champagne bottle in his hand. Argo approached him and hugged him before patting him on the shoulder. He looked at Paul and George who hugged him too. "Thanks for coming, I thought you wouldn't be able to make it." "Still us? We know you've been planning this for a long time." Christof shifted his eyes on me and gave a wink. So, it's true that this marriage was planned and not just Argo's sudden thought. I will definitely give him a sermon later. "Congratulations, Natalia." I looked up at Paul who was smiling widely at me. I did the same before spe
Aisle I couldn't hold back my tears while riding in the car. Mother always caressing my back non-stop. "Don't worry hija. Everything will be fine." But nothing is running through my mind right now but the possible consequences of Argo. Mother said she had an accident on her way to Calatagan. So I drove the car straight to the nearest hospital because it was said that Argo was probably brought here. But we passed several hospitals and the car still didn't stop. I didn't pay attention to that thing because my mind was still confused by what was happening. But after we got out of Calatagan, the car still didn't stop at the hospital. "Where are we going?" I couldn't stop asking Mother. But he just stroked my back and nodded to me. I let out a sigh. My heart beat harder. What's going on? I don't understand. Where was Argo taken? We were already in Nasugbu when I noticed we were heading to one of the resorts there. I looked at Mother with a look of surprise on her
Tragic NewsI had already prepared to go to Nasugbu to visit Dad's hotel there. He said that I will take care of managing there from now on. He has also notified all the hotel staff and managers so it will not be difficult for me to introduce myself. After half an hour's drive, the car stopped in front of the hotel. Right there, I saw the staff lined up as if they were waiting for my arrival. Rosario who will be my personal assistant and Shiela who will be my secretary are also there. I took a deep breath before going down after one of my security guards opened me up. Daddy requested that I be given security because of Andra's surveillance of me and what happened in the past weeks. Also, the child I'm carrying is already walking for three months, so I'm very careful with my actions. Even if Mother wanted to stop me and just stay at the Villa, I didn't agree. I want to help Daddy and reduce his work load as much as possible because I was a witness to the hours he allocated for jo
RealIt was noon when the yacht we were on docked at the Island. My smile became wide because we were greeted by some uniformed men. Some of us even tied flowers around our necks that must have been made by them. "Welcome to Isla Verde!" They welcomed us warmly. As before, there are not that many people here but there are a few people who are building small businesses here for tourists who want to go for a walk. In fact, even without electricity at night, that adds to the attraction of tourists who want to camp here. We went straight to a bungalow type where the locals had already prepared food for our arrival. The Mayor and several Councilors who met us earlier were also there. "It's good that you thought of investing in our Island. The truth is that we are having a hard time promoting the Island due to the lack of electricity supply," said the Mayor to Argo as we started eating. "I've been wanting to build a restaurant here for a long time because I think the Island has great
Isla VerdeI woke up to sunlight hitting my cheeks. At the same time, the cold wind blowing the white curtain. I hugged the pillow tightly and enjoyed the cool breeze. "Good morning, L'amour?"I opened my eyes quickly and quickly got up when I heard Argo's low voice speak. "Why are you still here?!"I didn't hesitate to lower the comporter from my body and get off the bed. I immediately looked for my clothes but I couldn't find them. "Are you looking for this?"I looked up at Argo who was holding my white loose shirt in one hand. Because of so much shock and shame, I almost jumped on the bed to grab the clothes from it. "Give me that!" Instead of giving it, I heard his crisp laugh after pulling my hips to replace his. Sticky shit, Natalia. You're completely naked. Like me, it still can't get dressed so I can freely observe and touch her hard chest. "God, you're so beautiful," he whispered. He caught my gaze and slowly traveled over the entirety of my face. His fingers caressed
My eyes were still wide open as I felt the person next to me. My heart was pounding nervously. When I noticed it moving, I quickly turned to lie down and turned away from it. I bit my nail hard and prayed that it would be a good night's sleep. But I was startled when I felt his hand touch my thigh and his face pressed into my back. Sticky shit, Natalia. . . What should I do now? Should I move? If I push him? Maybe wake up? In the end I couldn't do anything but let him do what he was doing. Maybe it's really sleeping. But my body almost went cold when I felt his hand on my thigh move. He pulled me close to him and his hand is slowly caressing up to my tummy. I bit my lips harder when he snuggled up behind me and buried his face in the nape of my neck as he continued to gently caress my stomach. "My child. . ." I softened when I heard his soft whisper. He followed with small kisses on my neck and shoulders. I closed my eyes tightly. I want to resist his warm kisses and
Sweet Fire Kiss As the night deepened, the events of the evening became more manageable for me. I felt a sense of ease while greeting guests and interacting with them. Andra and Florisse didn't cross my path again, and I noticed that the Greensmiths and the Villarosas had left early. Since I couldn't stay up too late, I tried to excuse myself to Dad and Mom. I also stopped by Shiela and Rosario's table. "We're fine here. There are plenty of boylets around," Rosario said, taking a large gulp of wine from her glass. "You're going to get drunk," Shiela chided her. "The guest room is ready for you both," I told them. "I wish I could take a leave from work, but Ms. Andra would probably scold me," Rosario said, pointing toward Andra and Florisse's table, where they were engaged in conversation with some politicians and businessmen. "If you want, you can be my secretary. I'll double your salary, or even triple it!" Her face lit up at my offer, and she nodded enthusiastically.
He stroked my cheek, which I knew was flushed with embarrassment. The kiss we shared in the elevator suddenly popped into my mind. Marco is a nice guy, I think there's nothing wrong with staying friends with him after this incident. "Are you sure you're okay now?" "Hmm. . . I guess I'm just not used to this kind of occasion, so I'm a little dizzy," I said after taking a few bites and putting down my cutlery. "You'll get used to it. Don't force yourself. Look at them, you don't have to keep up with them." I smiled at him again, then looked around. Almost everyone was busy with their own conversations. I even saw Dad and Mom talking to some of their business associates, but the Greensmiths were no longer there. "I have to keep up with them, Marco. Because I'm not the woman I was yesterday. I am now Natalia Punongbayan-Falcon. I'm no longer the weak woman they used to trample on." "That's the spirit, but you don't have to rush things, remember that you are now a Falcon. Every move
"Let us talk. . ." He took the lead, walking out of the ballroom, and I followed him with my gaze. I tried to take a step, but I heard Mom's voice. "Natalia, are you okay? Maybe you should rest in your room for a while?" She stopped me by the arm. "I'm okay, Mom." "What's happening might be bad for you and the baby?" I let out a sigh before turning to her. "Mom, I'm okay. I'll just talk to Argo for a bit." She didn't seem convinced by what I said, so I just smiled at her widely. I didn't stop myself anymore as I followed Argo out of the mansion. Outside, there were even more people and guests, who caught my attention. The orchestra was also making noise that night, despite the whispers. I just shrugged them off, focusing my attention on Argo, who was definitely heading towards the guava and mango trees. I confidently stepped into the dark part of the yard. I found him leaning against the wide mango tree. From here, only a little light reached us, and no one would notice us
As I took confident strides into the churchyard, the sound of the priest's sermon enveloped me. Each word seemed to echo through the air, setting the tone for the event unfolding before me. The beating of my heart quickened as I crossed the threshold into the church. I paused, taking in the sight of the gathered crowd, a mix of anticipation and curiosity swirling within me. The grandeur of the church hinted at the meticulous planning and preparation that went into this wedding. The line of luxurious cars parked outside only reaffirmed my suspicion that the bride and groom were of affluent backgrounds. Amidst the buzz of excitement, I couldn't help but notice the presence of the media, capturing every moment of the special occasion. "Tss, good timing," a mischievous smile played on my lips as I savored the thrill of the moment. I smoothed down my flowing hair and adjusted my dress, silently reminding myself of the purpose behind this mission. "You got this, Natalia! This is fo...
