Sherly opened her phone and received a text message from George. She smiled unknowingly and replied.Sherly and George found themselves face-to-face after Sherly's hospitalization. They decided to see each other in the restaurant, not far from the subdivision where Sherly is currently living. She's not in her condo since her brothers are worried about her.George couldn't hide his surprise and concern upon noticing the bandage on Sherly's forehead. Sherly's forehead is one of her assets, as she told herself. That's why he was always surprised when he saw the bandage on Sherly's forehead."Sherly, what happened? Are you alright?" he asked, full of concern in his voice.Sherly, with her characteristic wit, offered a nonchalant response as she shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, just a little run-in with a flying cup." She smirked and then added, "You know, the usual family drama."George, not entirely convinced, raised an eyebrow, prompting Sherly to chuckle. With the way Sherly replied to him
In the bustling university corridors, Sherly found herself inadvertently at the center of attention. The news about Senator Montenegro being her father had spread like wildfire, and students and faculty alike were eager to gain her favor.This is what she hated the most: being an object to gain his father and brothers favor. So he doesn't want to let it be known that he is Hideous Montenegro's son because he doesn't want to use him. Also, Sherly hates attention. Sherly just frowned as people tried to approach her with extra politeness and offers of assistance. Sherly couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed and overwhelmed.Alice, Sherly's close friend and the unofficial gossip queen of the university, noticed Sherly's exasperation. She teased Sherly, "Sherly, my dear friend, you're practically a campus celebrity now. How does it feel to have everyone bending over backward to win your favor?"Sherly, rolling her eyes, responded with a hint of sarcasm. He just wanted to remove the smile fr
Lilia, fueled by a mix of rage and humiliation, followed Sherly down the corridor. She couldn't take it anymore. She won't let this woman get what she wants from you.As Sherly reached the staircase, she felt Lilia's grip on her shoulder. She frowned and forcibly turned her around. In a sudden motion, Lilia's hand swung, aiming for Sherly's face. However, Sherly, maintaining her calm demeanor, didn't resist. The slap landed on her cheek, and she turned her head slightly with the impact.Sherly knew that Lilia was going to slap her, and she only let her do that. It wasn't because she wanted to, but because someone was watching.Lilia kept shouting. "You insolent brat!" She pointed her fingers at Sherly. "How dare you bring discord to this family? by spreading lies and gossip?"Sherly remained silent, her gaze fixed on Lilia, who was still in the throes of her outburst. She has no intention of speaking; she only wanted her to scream at her to make her seem bad.Unknown to Lilia, Hideous
In Hideous's study room, tensions reached a boiling point, fueled by Lilia's explosive outburst and actions. Kyle did not expect this, but they could tell that this was the real personality of their mother.Lilia, who couldn't take it anymore, glared at three men of the Montenegro family. If she weren't Hideous' wife, Kyle, and Keisley's mother, she could have died already."I can't believe you all are taking her side! She's manipulating you!" she screamed as she pointed her fingers in the direction of Sherly's room. He immediately frowned. He doesn't know why Lilia doesn't like Sherly so much. In the first place, she did nothing to her.Hideous knew that the moment he brought Sherly into their home, his wife didn't like her already. However, his daughter is much more important than his wife, who knows nothing but spends his and her son's money.That's right, she didn't do her job as wife and mother, but she spent all their money.Driven by rage, Lilia's eyes went red as she overturn
Keisley's eyes narrowed as he realized the weight of the situation. He knows what will happen next. Without a word, he stood up abruptly. The tension in the room is intense. Sensing that this matter was far from over, he left the room with purpose. He has no intention of staying here because he is afraid that he'll say something that he shouldn't. After all, even though he is much softhearted than his eldest brother, his tongue is much sharper than a person could imagine. Keisley made his way to his sister Sherly's room, where he found her engrossed in a book.Kyle and Hideous only glanced at Keisley and did not say a word. After all, they know him. He still has a little respect for his mother as his elder. Thus, he doesn't want to say something that might make him lose his respect.When Keisley went inside Sherly's room, he sat down. Breathing heavily, Keisley recounted the unsettling events that happened, his voice low but urgent. He wants his sister to know everything, even though
Sherly entered her condo, and the smile that adorned her face in Keisley's presence was fading away. He couldn't help but sighed as she entered her own space. Her demeanor shifted, revealing a cold and calculating aura as she closed the door behind her. The urgency of the text she received lingered in the air, and her eyes darkened as she reached for her phone.She stared at the message from one of her people. The message from Maria, one of her trusted aides in the underworld, was brief but enough to raise alarms.Her message was short, but it gave Sherly different feelings. If she does not handle it well, it will cause a lot of problems on her side."Hanna's movements are suspicious. Evidence attached." Sherly's fingers moved swiftly as she tapped on the screen, opening the attachments Maria had sent.When she opened the attachments, her brows furrowed as a series of photos and documents unfolded on her phone. Sherly's frown deepened as she studied the evidence Maria gave her.Hanna,
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. Sherly stirred, slowly opening her eyes. As her vision adjusted, she took in the unexpected sight that met her gaze—an array of adult toys scattered on the floor. Confusion flickered in her eyes for a moment before the memories of the previous night flooded back.A satisfied smile curled on her lips as she turned her head to the side, and there, lying beside her, was George. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and she couldn't help but appreciate the situation they found themselves in.George stirred as well, his eyes meeting hers. A hint of amusement danced in his gaze as he noticed her expression. "Good morning," he greeted with a playful grin.Sherly chuckled, running a hand through her tousled hair. "Morning. Looks like we had quite a night."He glanced around at the scattered toys, and a sly grin tugged at the corners of his lips. "It seems like it."Sherly laughed, the memorie
Sherly sat in her office at the condo, surrounded by the familiar ambiance of her own space. She was engrossed in going through some reports, looking and reading the intricate web of the underworld's affairs. Even though she only handle information, these kind of things is very common. Especially when she is in the nuetral side.As she is trying to burried herself at work, the phone rang. When she is working, Sherly has no intention of accepting any call. However, when she glanced at the caller ID to find it was her brother, Keisley."Hey, Sherly," Keisley's voice came through the line, making her smile. "We're having dinner at the villa tonight. You should come. It's been a while."Sherly gigles. "What is it's been a while? Didn't we just have a dinner when I let you guys go to the university?" she joked.Keisley, on the other hand, went silent. "Oh, that's not what I mean.""Then what?" Sherly leaned back on her chair."We just wanted to have a dinner with you. Me, Dad, and Big brot
"Do you know this woman?" Hideous asked as he placed a picture flat in front of her.As Sherly confirmed her recognition of the woman, a tense silence enveloped the room. Hideous's brows furrowed deeply, his gaze piercing as he absorbed the implications of Elisia's involvement. Kyle's expression mirrored his father's, a mixture of concern and growing anger evident in his features. Keisley's jaw clenched, his fists tightening at his sides as a surge of frustration coursed through him."It's her," Sherly affirmed, nodding her head, her voice steady but tinged with frustration. "The same woman who tried to force me out of the university."Hideous's jaw tightened at the revelation, his mind swiftly connecting the dots between Elisia's vendetta against Sherly and the allegations now leveled against Keisley. At first, that woman only wanted to get close to Sherly so that she could get an advantage, but Sherly did not let her be close to her. Now, she saw Keisley and took a fancy on him, and
As Sherly scanned through the article on her phone, her classmates crowded around, their voices a cacophony of curiosity. She really had no idea about this. Maybe because it was just posted and she has no idea about it. It was because she hadn't been opening her phone. "Is it true, Sherly? Your parents are really getting divorced?" one of them asked, eyes wide with disbelief.Though she doesn't know about it happening right now, that does not mean that she wasn't aware of it. Sherly nodded, her throat tight. "Yeah, it's happening.""Wow, that's intense," another chimed in. "What caused it?" he asked again.Sherly hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. She doesn't want them to know because her father hasn't given a statement about the reason yet. "Um, just... differences, I guess. They've been drifting apart for a while. I don't really know about that. Besides, I don't interfere with the adult's decision," she explains.The questions kept coming, each one digging deeper into Sherly
After indicating everything that she needed to send to her father, she smiled, and she did not hesitate to send it to her father's email. Of course, she used her own underworld email. After all, it was more secure, and besides, she doesn't want to pose any danger to her father.Sherly's phone rang, and she saw her father's name on the caller's ID. Answering with a smile, she listened as he questioned how she obtained the information. Wow, how fast was her father contacting her? Maybe her father is waiting for her email. With a playful tone, Sherly replied, "Dad, a magician never reveals her secrets."Her teasing is different, so all that her father could do was chuckle, but his curiosity lingered. Sherly relented, explaining that it was a trade secret and leaving it at that. However, she quickly shifted the conversation to her strategy. Excitedly, she outlined her plan to set a trap for Joseph Santos.She explained everything to her father after she read that information. "All those
As Hideous struggled to contain the storm of emotions raging within him, his mind raced with the weight of Marie's revelations. He and his whole family had always been waiting to have a girl in their family. When his surrogacy managed to make a girl, he was so happy. Now, this woman, who was the surrogate mother of his daughter, is telling him that all of the suffering that his daughter has been through is all because of his wife? All because of that woman? The thought of Lilia's callous betrayal filled him with a seething rage that threatened to consume him whole.This won't do. He won't let this happen and won't let her get away from it. Now that he has a very strong reason to divorce her, it won't be that hard. Even if it becomes public, he won't get hurt since everything he did was for his own daughter's sake."Make sure she's kept safe," Hideous growled, his voice low and dangerous as he addressed the police officers gathered around him. There is no room for mistakes. He won't le
Mr. Park's face sent a shiver down the spines of the other secretaries in the secretarial department. They have not yet seen Mr. Park in that dark face, and they know that something might have happened, and this is most likely related to the Montenegro family. That's right, whenever Mr. Park deals with other business, no matter how bad it is, he still has this calm and warm face. However, right now, he has a scary face that makes them shiver. "I'll get going," Mr. Park said to the other secretary in charge and left without waiting for their reply.Everyone inside the secretary department exchanged glances, and they could only sigh and wish that they wouldn't be implicated in it.As Mr. Park entered Hideous's office with a sense of urgency, his expression was grave as he approached his boss's desk. He wanted to confirm it first, but of course, he still has to tell his boss. "Sir, there's been a development," he began, his voice low and serious.Hearing those words, Hideous glanced up
The man sighed as he received the call from Lilia. How long has it been since he has been working for her? It's been so long. Now, the contract is finally done. This is her last work for him. However, this is kind of too much for him. Killing a woman who posts no threats to her is too much. As the hired man approached Marie Arnold, his footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit alleyway, he felt a familiar surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. He had always been killing, and this is the same feeling he always feels whenever he is about to kill someone. He knew what he had been tasked to do, but as he drew closer to his target, he couldn't shake the nagging feeling of doubt that gnawed at the edges of his conscience.Marie Arnold stood before him, her eyes wide with fear, her trembling form illuminated by the faint glow of the streetlights above. Sensing his hesitation, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "Please," she pleaded, her words trembling with desperation. "
Sherly slept deeply after George tucked her to sleep. George saw how tired she was staying by his side, and even though he is happy for it, he still has no heart to let her suffer like that. Not only that, that woman even tried to ruin their day. He took his phone and dialed Sherly's father's number. He didn't want Sherly to stay in that mood, so it was better for her father to deal with it sooner. In the middle of the night, someone posted a video. It has only been an hour, but it has gone viral in no time. The video of Sherly and her surrogate, Marie, arguing in the hospital quickly went viral, garnering overwhelming support for Sherly. Who wouldn't? When they saw the caption, they thought it was Sherly, who is shamless, but who would have thought that it would be completely different? The ones who are shameless aren't the young ones, but the older ones! Viewers empathized with Sherly's plight and condemned Marie's behavior. Sherly's courage and dignity in the face of adversity
Liam leaned forward, his expression serious. "George, I have something to tell you," he said, making George raise an eyebrow. "What is it?""Do you know that that woman is Senator Montenegro's one and only daughter, right?" George nodded his head. "Did you meet them already?" he asked again.George nodded his head. "Yeah, I met them last night. What's with it?" George asked with suspiscion in his eyes. Liam sighed and said, "Senator Montenegro wants Ace. He wants him for what he did to his daughter."George nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. Of course, he knows that this will happen. Just based on his and Sherly's family conversation last night, this would happen. "I see. Ace has brought a lot of trouble to many people." He sighed, knowing that their friendship wouldn't be able to go back to what it used to be.Liam's eyes narrowed. "So, what's your take on this? Should we hand him over?" He doesn't know what he and Sherly's family talk about, but he could guess wh
Without any words, as Sherly was on top of him, she bent closer and kissed him. She couldn't care more. The drug inside her finally kicked in and totally made her unable to think of anything. All she wanted was to get fucked by the person she loved. If it were the other people, she wouldn't let them get their way on her. She would do her best to get away from them. However, the person in front of her is the one she accepted, the one with whom she wanted to spend this night. George flinched when Sherly immediately inserted his rod inside her. This made George think that the drug inside Sherly was much more potent than the normal drug. He knows what it was, but he couldn't care about it right now. He wanted to make her feel at ease as soon as possible.George grabbed Sherly's hand and started to make her move much rougher than normal. He knows what they might end up doing while doing this, but he doesn't care. All he cares about is making her feel good. George couldn't lead the sex b
