Rogue Chavez is a ruthless man who believes that marriage is something that would strangle you in a cage. He doesn't want to involve himself in any romantic relationships because he assumes that it is just a waste of time. However, when he was assigned to do a certain task, he was told to marry a woman who came from an affluent family of rivalry. It is part of his mission to be affiliated with Keilah Olivarez, a fearless woman who is blunt in her speech. She finds out that her life is prone to danger, she's wise enough to cling to any chances she might encounter to save herself. Not until, she encounters him.
"I want you to marry me."Out of desperation, Keilah was the one to give in and ask for marriage. It feels like she let herself be in a chain of thorns and roses. "File a marriage contract with me, it'll benefit us both.""Your wish is my command," he replied with a smirk. "But please, don't dare to fall for me."The flickering lights from the DJ lighting brushes off the dark room along with how the loud beat of music envelops the surroundings. The crowd seems to be enjoying every bit of it, mostly are youths. Wild parties, liquors, cigarettes and s*x, no doubt it's definitely their stuff. A man in black roams his gazes and smirks the moment he sees his companion at the other side of the room. "Enough with your smirks, Rogue. Naiirita ako," sambit ng kasama nito habang inis na nakamasid sa unahan."What did I do? Kumalma ka nga, Kouen." He took a cigarette stick and light it, he let the smoke fills the air and glanced again at Kouen's spot. "You should probably chill out, you're stressing yourself. Wala pa naman 'yong target." Rogue Chavez likes it when he teases Kouen Anderson. Natatawa siya sa walang kabuhay-buhay na reaksyon nito, at alam naman niyang hindi talaga ito natutuwa sa pinaggagawa niya. "Should I buy you a drink? Mamaya pa naman tayo mag start, what do you think?" He tried to s
"What? Keilah Olivarez?! He can't marry that woman." Kouen's voice echoes in the four corners of the room, they just arrived at the office of Mr. Rio Chavez, Rogue's father. Sinalubong sila ng nakakagulat na task at alam ni Kouen na kapag masyado ng may kinalaman sa personal ay hindi papayag si Rogue. Paulit-ulit niyang sinulyapan ng tingin ang kaibigan na ngayon ay pasimpleng naka-upo sa couch at ngumunguya ng burger. "I've heard about her, ang sama raw ng ugali non." reklamo pa ni Kouen. "I assume Rogue will be needing my help, Mr. Chavez." He sat on the chair and waited for the old man to response, he wants to assure that Rogue will be doing good with the said task. Nasanay na rin siyang palagi silang mag kasama sa mga tasks na hina-handle nila kung kaya ay alam niyang may mga pagkakataon na nag da-drama ang kaibigan. "No, he will be doing it alone. It is a special task for him." Kouen's even more surprised when he heard the boss' response. He glanced at Rogue's direction and he
The Olivarez called for a family dinner and Keilah knew that they would be discussing what happened earlier at their workplace. She still couldn't erase in her mind what her older sister told her, now it is confirmed that her family were threatened by how she freely moves in the hospital that is why they are trying to get rid of her. Alam niyang pagtutulungan na naman siya ng mga ito pero kailangan niyang ipakita na hindi siya natatakot, kailangan niya rin humanap ng paraan para protektahan niya ang sarili niya. Keilah wants what is best for her family but seeing that their dirty works are staining her name, she wants to get away from them. She is not involved in their business, in fact she couldn't understand it the first time she started her work. Keilah grew up believing that she took a medical course to serve the community and help the patients to find cure for them. Her mother was the one who decided for her to take the program, she really thought having a family of doctors coul
“Ma, Keilah can't stay here with us! Katulad lang siya ni Papa, wala na silang ginawang tama para sa negosyo natin.” Kacie asserted, her voice was filled with contempt and it looked like any moment she would burst into anger. Her mother simply threw a gaze at her, there's no hint of approval in her eyes. Kassandra hasn't moved on from her husband’s death, it broke her heart but the other part of her mind wants to feel relieved upon what happened. Her daughter Kacie is somewhat right, Arthur Olivarez, the one and only son of Kamila Olivarez didn't help much with their business. They nearly went bankrupt when he was still alive and working with them. Kassandra has to get rid of her beloved husband, she thinks it's what's best for everyone in the family and their company.“She is still your sister, and don't talk like that to your late father! Bakit ba ganyan nalang ang galit mo sa kapatid mo?" Kassandra wants to know what's behind it all, alam naman niyang hindi nagtatanim ng galit ang
“Will continue the interview tomorrow morning, so I hope that the remaining applicants will ace it. Thank you for patiently waiting for us!” The assistant nurse announced and informed everyone that they can now have their leave. It was a long day and the heads who are responsible for handling the interview threw themselves to the couch and let their body feel the soft mattress. “I can't believe we still have a long day to run through tomorrow,” Karter complained and took a magazine under the table, it seems that he wants to spend the remaining work hours reading some worthwhile contents while waiting for his clients in his office. Being a psychiatrist is a tough job, he deals with different clients everyday and he would praise himself for doing his work well. It also reminds him that he needs to do better everyday, all the diagnoses and treatments to prevent mental, emotional and behavioral disorders he deals with from time to time makes him even more hard to understand. Kacie calls
It’s past 10 o'clock in the evening and Keilah Olivarez dropped by the famous club bar to drown herself with drinks. After the incident which occurred last week, the owner still managed to keep his bar club open to give access to those organizations who trade illegal businesses in their private rooms. Keilah who couldn't get over the news she heard from her ruthless grandmother came by to reflect on what she did, and the fact that she nearly killed the old woman really distracts her mind. “Another glass of vodka martini please,” she couldn't stop herself from drinking too much. Gusto niya kalimutan ang nangyari kanina at isipin na panaginip lamang lahat ng iyon. The bartender mixed the drinks again, but he paused when a hand stopped him. Bahagya itong napa-angat ng tingin at nakita ang kanyang kasamahan, “You're doing it wrong, can't you see that she's a lady? You're supposed to have it light, she has low alcohol tolerance.” The man gave way to his coworker and made him mix the drink
“What was that?” The Olivarez couldn't move on from what happened earlier at the interview. They altogether gathered in the CEO’s office and reported the profiles of the applicants that caught their interest. The team will talk about the interviewee’s potential and will choose the qualified individual for the rest of the day. “Loki Hamsmith, his name literally caught my attention,” Kacie gazed at her sister with a frown, “This is driving me crazy.” Khloe smirks at her and drinks the glass of wine on her grip, “If you’re in love, please be reminded that he is already engaged to someone.” “Who could be that woman?” “You looked so worried about that certain interviewee, did one of my cards scare you?” Kamila cracked a teasing smile to her granddaughter Khloe. The lady seemed surprised upon hearing the old woman, she gazed at her table and breathed heavily. Khloe chuckled softly and replied, “It’s more like it captures the heart of your granddaughter, Mamita.” “What do you mean by o
Rogue Chavez followed Keilah Olivarez as they left the office and headed their way to the hall. His eyes were looking at her small shoulders, the more he gazed at her, the more he was focused on his plans. He wants to confirm something, and he wants to get done with his mission as soon as possible. Rogue paused from walking when the woman turned her back to see him, “I forgot to introduce myself,” her bracing gapes met his shuttered heavy eyes. “My name’s Keilah Olivarez and I'm working here as a registered midwife and obstetrician but I've been providing surgical services these years. I’m a middle child of Kassandra and Arthur Olivarez, the old lady is my grandmother and obviously, we are not in good terms.” She looked at him from head to toe and that made Rogue edgy. “I don’t know what are your plans for why you're working here but I am pretty sure you're one of her minions,” her words are so straightforward that Rogue couldn't even have a chance to explain himself. “You might end
"Good morning, Mr. Hamsmith, how was your night?" Kacie greeted when she encountered the man in the hall of the building. Rogue Chavez just arrived at the workplace for the submission of his reports since he will be starting to work with Tempest Canosa for the entire week. Her presence does not bother him but the fact that he cannot freely move around is quite disrupting his plans. "I'm good," he fixed his ties and walked near her, "You?" Kacie felt her cheeks blushing and she let go of a smile at him. "I assume you are about to submit the paperwork, kanina lang rin andon sa taas ang ibang staff for their reports." "Oh right, I gotta go." He turned his back to her and proceeded to go upstairs using the elevator. However, Rogue recognized the woman who came along, it was Tempest Canosa, the woman he will be with for the task that the CEO has fixed for the week. "So you're Loki Hamsmith?" The woman spoke which made him glance in her direction. It's just the two of them and Rogue sim
Awkwardness envelops the atmosphere as their eyes meet, she could not look him straight in the eyes. Her gazes were shaking while his looks seemed stern. Rogue watches her as he examines her movements, probably trying to read her mind or predict what she is up to. "Do you have anything to say?" He asked and Keilah cleared her throat, averting her eyes and took a sip from the glass of wine in her grip."I have a favor to ask and I know it's a bit of a hassle for you," she began and bit her lower lip before looking back at him again. "Mamita wants to have dinner with us tonight, and I think it's not a good idea to begin with but I couldn't say no to her." Rogue slightly raised his brow and smirked at her worried face, "Why does it bother you so much? Ano bang iniisip mo?" He seems to be so relaxed that his vibes could not go along with how concerned Keilah could get. "You don't know her that much, Loki. There are possibilities that she might have caught us that we're lying, I can't le
“Dude, what?!” “You heard it, right?” Rogue brushes his hair using his fingers and walks around the kitchen counter to get a glass, the man on his phone screen seems surprised of what he heard from his friend. He waited for the guy to get back to his place and process the thoughts in his head. Kouen hasn't decided when to come back yet but he wants to be a good help so he is somehow reaching out to Rogue to assist him, afterall, he will be acting as his secretary. “Hey, Rogue. How did it even happen? You didn't break any sweat,” Kouen couldn't believe that Rogue already accomplished his goal to be engaged with Keilah Olivarez. He thought his friend was using a black magic. “Hindi ko alam kung ano ang binabalak niya but I’m pretty sure she wouldn't do it without a pretty good reason, something’s probably threatening her to give in.” Hindi pa rin makapaniwala ang mukha ng kaibigan, umaga na sa lugar nito samantalang hating-gabi na sa bansa. “What’s your plan now?” Kouen asked while
As the sun came out and outran the entire city, a crowd of people gathered in the streets when they heard a loud crash in the road. They rushed to check it out and found a collapsed school bus. The people began to cry for help when they saw the poor students inside bathing in their own blood. Murmurs invade the surrounding area due to the sudden accident. Marami ring kotseng nabangga sa gilid at nalaman na sugatan ang mga nasa loob nito. “Call the ambulance right now!”“Shit, bilisan niyo. Maraming mga sugatan sa loob!” “Ano ba talagang nangyari?” “Nawalan raw ng preno e, marami rin ang nadamay.”The grumble became louder even more when the ambulance and police arrived. They assisted the victims and figured out half of the students inside the bus were wiped out and found dead. The officers investigated what happened, and sent the victims to the nearby hospital. A loud cry gave in when the parents of the children came and saw the situation, the ambulance siren alarmed the city as th
