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
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 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
"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
"No! Please, no!"One after another, I screamed and begged, but no one wanted to listen to me. The man on top of me just kept touching my body. Next, my tears started to fall, and I couldn't stand to scream because my throat was hurting.My eyes widened as I remembered one of the things in the past that I didn't want to remember the most. I took a deep breath and looked around.Right, I'm at the hotel. I had a night full of vigor last night. I looked around; the toys and condoms were scattered. I held my head and looked at the man beside me.I winced. I haven't slept after sex, I never let myself sleep with someone. Usually I leave after sex but now... and I didn't know how much I begged last night just so we would both stop. Sure, I love to play during sex, but last night, it was intense. I love it, though.I grabbed my throat, and I could feel the soreness of my voice. For sure, my voice was hoarse.My legs were still shaking, but I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroo
As the son goes down, Keisley Montenegro, Sherly’s second brother, who is both lively and outgoing, arrives at her school to pick her up. This wasn’t on her schedule, but since it was her brother, she did not refuse. After all, even though she had her own car, she refused to use it. Why? She felt that it would only give her trouble. She doesn’t like that kind of trouble.Keisley saw a lot of students, and she saw Sherly at the entrance of her university, talking to a woman. Just looking at it, even though he is an outgoing person and loves to have fun, he could still see that his sister hates this woman. Of course, he knows why. After all, this woman has been all over the news as the daughter of a businessman in the country.Sherly smiled when she saw Keisley get out of his ordinary car. However, even though he is still using his ordinary, outdated car, his face still can’t be ignored. After all, Keisley is really a handsome man. Keisley grinned, ready to tease her about her day. He a
After the meeting that happened at Kyle’s office, the Montenegro siblings dispersed in different directions. They have different appointments; thus, they have to be parted from each other. They are all reluctant, but they couldn’t do anything about it. Kyle remained confined to his office, surrounded by the papers that demanded his immediate attention. Kyle made his way to his father’s office since he had something to discuss with his father personally. Even though the meeting time and visiting time with his father are already over, he could still come and go as his reason is valid.Meanwhile, Sherly, on the other hand, decided to return home. After all, her brothers both pushed her to go, and she lived at the villa with them. If she did, they would surely go home all night. They won't let her alone in the villa. Thus, this made Sherly decide to go and have a look. She also had something she needed to go and look at.The Montenegro Villa is one of the most luxurious villas in a high-e
The reason Keisley was not swayed by his mother’s words is because they don’t have a strong bond. When both he and Kyle were young, they thought that their mother was so busy. Kyle knows from the start that his mother isn’t the same as the other mother. However, it wasn’t for Keisley. When Keisley was young, he wanted his mother to look at him. However, she never did. It happened not only once, twice, or multiple times. In the end, Keisley gave up.When he was finally able to understand everything, Keisley finally knew. His mother did not look to him just because she was busy at work but because she was busy acting like a single woman. She partied everywhere; she was always with her friends; she always played in the casino; she was always out of the house; she was always busy acting spoiled. She never even thinks about her own son.With no emotional relations and a strong bond between sons and mother, Lilia has no idea how she could pull her sons to her sides. She doesn’t want them to
