I stopped the Tesla Model X car in front of one of my hotels and stepped out of it. I buttoned up my suit jacket and glanced at my security team who also exited their armored vehicles. I nodded to Jex who was their head and walked ahead.

I passed through the revolving glass door and into the turnstile where I swiped up my identification card.

Every employee stopped in their tracks to greet me.

"Good day, sir."

I just nodded at those who greeted me as I walked to the private elevator.

Anita, out hotel manager greeted me and accompanied me.

There wasn't any hint of weariness on her face considering it's a surprise inspection.

"How's the ongoing renovation of the 63rd floor?" I asked in a casual tone.

"Going well, sir. The interior designer you recommended is already on her finishing touches. The curated art pieces from Mindanao just arrived. They will be decorated according to the preference of the guests

    My whole body was covered in dust and dirt and I was also sticky because of the sweat from a few hours of cleaning the whole apartment but I still went on scrubbing the sticky dried rice on the floor tiles. In my mind, I had already killed a few hundred times and shredded into pieces, the green-eyed monster named Dave. If it weren't for him, I would be at the spa now and enjoying Maverick's money spending of forty-nine million.But no. I'm here now almost scratching my face on the blackened white tiles. I can only imagine Dave's face as I leisurely brushed his face on the floor. When I was finished, I rested for a while while eating a watermelon. I glanced at the wall clock. It's past ten o'clock in the evening. I put my elbows on the kitchen table and ate the fruit while wiping my sweat. I want to take a bath right at this instant but I still need to rest for a few minutes.I looked over my place and smiled. It's back to its tidy and order for

    "How's it going?""It's going smooth.""Come on, be honest to me, Femella."She sighed on the line."I'm suffering right now. I don't know what to do anymore! I hate this! I want to quit this and go somewhere else and change my identity! I feel so powerless. I'm starting to doubt myself. I wanted to end this so badly, Rowald. I do not have anyone by my side. It's hard. Lagma Rey is not someone I should go against. Not with my current status now. I'm poor. I have no money, no connection. I don't have my family by my side. We had long been in the gutter. So I think this mission is impossible."I shifted in the wooden chair I'm sitting in and drank some water."Stick to the plan. Maverick has already fallen to you so you can now execute the plan. It's the only way that can work. Remember, time is our worst enemy here. If Lagma finds out about you, it will be game over.""No. I have long discarded the plan of using him to fu

    "Dave, I'm in. How's your position?"I gave out my sweetest smile to the photographer who asked for my photo and gracefully shook my head to refuse. I made my way to the main area of the largest convention area in the country and got myself a glass of champagne from the passing waiter."I'm in my place and still looking for Lagma's room. The security here is so tight. I can't get in. I need more time."I sipped on my glass and seductively smiled at the Korean gentleman across from me. I already noticed that he was staring at me the moment I walked in the door. "It's okay. Go have all the time that you need. I will just enjoy here while I'm fishing for some monkeys. Perhaps meet some old friends. After all, it's a gala night organized by my clan's number one enemy.""Ok. I'm out."I touched my ear and simply turned off the hearing device attached to my earrings. I walked over to an empty poseur table and placed the gla

    As soon as the elevator opened, I immediately grabbed Femella and kissed her. I leaned her across the wall on the side of the elevator and pressed myself against her body.How I miss her soft skin against mine, the taste and warmth of her lips kept me awake every night while being away. Her heavenly scent is enough for now to quench my thirst for the last week.I squeezed her exposed thigh and snaked it to my waist."No one will look for you at the party?" she asked while catching for air."Who?" I traced the outline of her lips. "Remember the woman you're with?" Her eyes are saying more things."Forget about her. You're far more important."I wrapped her legs around her waist and started walking towards my room. She grabbed my shoulders and bit my neck hard. I moaned. My pants tightened even more in confinement.I scanned my palm over the door-lock and it automatically opened.I pushed the door shut with my foo

    "You're officially mine starting tonight."I looked at Maverick from the reflection in his bedroom mirror. He is on the end of the bed drinking alcohol. I continued to comb my hair. We just finished taking a shower together.He let me borrow his shirt and boxer again. It was like I was back on the island again. "And then what?"I saw him straighten up."What do you mean?""What will happen after I say yes? Endless dates? Knowing stages? Unlimited sex? And then what? You'll dump me right after you're done with me. Why would we go through all that when we could easily end it this instant, Mav."He drained the contents of his glass and laid it on the side table. Maverick stood up and pulled me upright.We stood face to face with each other. The light coming from his lamp shade casted a shadow on his strained face."What is it this time, Femella?" His voice is hard and the restrained an

    I had high hopes for tonight after spotting her in the crowd. I missed her. I wanted to go to her that instant and kissed her senseless. One week of being away from her is pure hell. I can barely concentrate.If I hadn't forced myself to finish a week's stay in Japan, I might have just flown in a jiffy and decided to go home. Cahil's presence didn't help either. She's just there to obviously annoy me all the time.She would always tease me about the girl in my lockscreen. I saved Femella's picture from my other phone to make it my lockscreen. Since discovering it, she's been nagging me to meet the girl who she said to be 'the one' for me. Femella just happened to be here. I planned all along to go to her apartment after I checked the event. The Asturia matriarch requested my presence for tonight. She is a dear friend of my mother so I was kind of forced. I also respect Cahil who has been my friend and childhood friend for a long time. But after

    "Stop staring at me Dave. With my state right now, I don't need your questions."I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked out of the moving car.My mind is going back to Mav's unit and to the scenes after that. How I wish I could erase the pain in his eyes but as far as I want to do it, my responsibility stops me. I think Maverick's angry face will be planted in my head. Gone is the warmth in his eyes as he looked at me. Suddenly, the care and the passion I always read in his eyes since we were on the island are lost. It was replaced by anger, bitterness, and disgust. His eyes became cold to me. Earlier, I saw no sign that he believed me. It's all doubt all over his face. I can't blame him for that. I did it to myself. I did it to us. He looked at me from the driver's seat. "I actually quite have an idea. I turned on the device when you know.. You know.. You guys are so noisy so for the sake of my well-being, I turned it

    "Mom." I held my mother by her shoulder while she's happily playing with her granddaughter in the living area. Her face is filled with joy while rocking the five -month -old baby in her arms. I smiled when I saw the contentment on her face.Who knew the great Isabella Andrado-Fuentebella will retire to business just to solely tend her years in pampering her grandchildren? Surely not the young me who witnessed how tight and disciplinarian she is. She was even more cruel than my father. He never dared to go against my mother. She is the rule of the house. No one can say otherwise. I still remembered how we shivered because we didn’t reach our quota grades in elementary.Those were the days. When we were in our high school years, Gideon and I would always top the class. But I lost it all out when I'm in college. I became a rebel son before ultimately knowing my way back home. My mother drastically changed when dad died. Her views in life

    I'm already bathing in my own sweat and my dress has been wet already but I don't care. All I want is to take out everything I ate this afternoon. I clung to the toilet bowl and for the last time vomited. I sat on the bathroom floor while clinging to the bowl.I cried in extreme frustration. Is it really this hard to be pregnant?I heard someone open the door and enter. I did not move. I just kept crying. Maverick sat down beside me and wiped my face with a towel. He also flushed all of my vomit down."Feeling better?" He rubbed my back.I nodded. "A little."He caressed my growing belly. “You guys are really torturing mommy. Behave children. Don't make it harder for mommy, okay? ”I glared at Maverick. He always talk to my stomach every day since we came from the doctor days ago. Maverick shouted with happiness upon hearing it. I was moved to tears by mixed emotions. I'm happy and at the same time scared about this new chapter of my life.I remembered being

    I opened my eyes and looked around. Darkness immediately dawned on me and sadness immediately enveloped me. I moved to the other side of the bed in case Maverick was there. I touched a hot and hard flesh moaning. I heaved out a sigh of relief. So what happened earlier is all true. I’m not delusional or just dreaming. Maverick is really here by my side.I opened the lamp shade before crawling to lie back next to the sleeping man. I crouched under the blanket and propped my elbow on the pillow. I leaned my head on my palm and caressed Maverick's chest. He automatically squeezed my waist as he sank into my chest."Hmm," he muttered. He also put his leg on my thigh so I can't move any further from him. I pushed his lower torso away and adjusted my body so I don't get crushed by his immense weight. My bed is just enough for the two of us in terms of space but I just don't know if it won't give up especially if Maverick thinks of railing me again.I co

    I followed Femella outside. She's wiping away her tears. I hugged her from behind and planted a kiss on her exposed shoulder. She shrugged me off but I did not attempt to leave."No one is playing tricks on you, sweetheart. What I told you is true."She sniffed. "You should go now, Maverick. We're done. We're done so why are you still here looking for me?"I held her to face me and touched her swollen eye."It's true that I respect your decision to leave me. So now, I'm going to ask you for a favor to respect me for my decision to come back for you. Let's stop torturing ourselves, shall we?"I led her to sit on the first rung of the stairs and took her hands."I don't like being indebted to anyone. It's bad for business. So I have to bring you back into my life so I don't owe anything to your weird friend."She looks at me with her puffy red eyes, red cheeks, and red nose that I can't help but dip a kiss

    It's crazy to force yourself to forget the person who reminds you of everything you do. I would wake up in the morning on the other side of the bed thinking that Maverick was there and sound asleep.I would cook a meal then would just stare at the thin air while contemplating his absence. Before I knew it, I needed to make another breakfast because my food was already burning.I'll eat alone, sleep alone, and cry alone. I have experienced being alone for a long time but I was not as sad as I am now. I felt like I lost a part of myself and I can only be happy and content if I take it back.It's been over a month now but I'm not coping well. The loneliness I feel only gets worse.Adding to the emptiness I experience is living here in the place where Maverick and I first met. Everything in this place reminds me of him. When I go to the plaza and to the proper town, he is always the one I remember, especially when I choose to spend the whole day by th

    "Anything," I answered right away.Her face became serious. "Take her away from her misery. Please. I hope you can do what I can't do. I thought that after completing her mission, she would let herself be happy but she still thinks she doesn't deserve to be loved." She looked me in the eyes. "Please save her, Fuentebella. Let her realize that she can never be happy without you, please. If you do that, you have paid off your debt." Something stirred inside me at the thought of Femella crying in her solitude. I nodded at Vida."I won't promise anything. Most of all, I'll still respect what she wants. Now, I want her location.""Sta. Barbara."I was momentarily surprised upon hearing that place. Sta. Barbara. Something familiar clicked inside me at the mention of the place."I'm positive you'll get her again. You must not forget that she chose to go back to the place where you two first met." She bent over to pick up the

    "Why did you come back? Man, you should have stayed there forever in your cave. It was so much fun here when you were gone."I threw a crumpled paper at Luther, who was sitting on the edge of the desk and tampering with the stacked papers."You're just happy because you're free to flirt with my secretary. I heard from Ivan that you're starting your dark plan. I'm warning you, man. Leave Christine alone. She's like my sister. Don't line her up with your women. "I signed the finalized design for the capsule hotel that Luther and I would be building."Woah! You're really a different person now, man. You seem to be a saint now. Looks like Femella did something good to you other than break your heart."My hand stopped on its own at the mention of the woman's name. Our separation still hurts me until now. I sighed and diverted the conversation."It looks like we're going to have a problem with the acquisition of some properties. A few

    "Femella, are you really sure with your decision? Maybe we can change it? Is there nothing to lose?" the surprised Chino asked when he heard what I told Vida that I was leaving this afternoon. He had just come out of the toilet and was in the midst of washing his hands. There were still residues of foam in his hand."I'm sure about it, Chino. My time has come to retire. You're alone again to fantasize about yummy abs at the club." I regretted saying it then looked at Vida who was sitting on the floor like me.I called them to say goodbye properly. Chino was also in his apartment so I told him to stay here. I want to personally say goodbye to the man who made my time at La Vida fun and tolerable.I had already packed up my bags ready to leave. My suitcases are already in the trunk of my old car. I really just went here to say goodbye."Or maybe Adam's descendants won't even look at me anymore. We know they're just trying to pay

    I looked up from the papers I'm reading when I heard a knock on the door. I saw Christine reluctantly standing in the doorway. I didn't even realize she's been there the whole time."What is it Christine?" I said before immediately returning the focus to what I was doing."Ahm sir, can I go home now? I already asked for your permission earlier so that I'll be out by nine."I glanced at the watch. I didn’t even notice the passage of time."Go ahead. Just make sure to submit first thing in the morning, the minutes of the meeting with Mr. Kazuki." I picked up the mug of coffee while I'm still busy reading but I put it down when I realized it's empty. I was about to get up to make another cup but Christine immediately approached me and took the mug."I'll do it sir."I just nodded.She laid the steaming coffee on the table minutes after."Thank you," I said after taking a sip. "You may go.""Ahm s

    "Femella ..."I bit my lip and closed my eyes when I heard the baritone voice behind me. I want to stand up and greet him with an eager hug. I also endured a week of not seeing him or hearing his voice. I've been dying to see him and be close to him like what we used to be but everything's changed now. The one he truly loves is back so I have no more space in their lives.I slowly stood in front of Maverick whose face was now full of longing."Fuentebella, I'm glad you're here. You may take a seat."His face got confused with the tone I used. I uttered the words so coldly and without any emotion like we did not know each other.It was hard for him to sit in the chair and just stare at me. I went back to sitting and took the wine glass and brought it to my mouth. The alcohol helped a little to calm the nerves in my body.I carefully set the glass down on the table and looked around the elegant restaur
