"Check that way, I'll inspect the other side," one of the men declared."Keep your eyes wide open! Miss Lichauco's life cannot be risked under our supervision. The agency has a lot of trust in us," he summed up.Evo ducked to one side to hide. He wanted to hit himself at that moment."Do you want to die virgin, Evo Xylon Anderson? It's a waste of your race if that happens," he whispered in the air.He had beads of sweat on his forehead. He craned his neck slightly to peer at the men looking for him.Only one left. He was facing its back. The man currently peering into the corners where he could hide.Automatically, he backed away as the man's neck turned in his direction."'Damn! It's the end of me!"Footsteps were getting closer to him. He held his breath at the possible outcomes of his mindless actions."Sir . . ."The captain of the yacht called the man that made him stop."Miss Lichauco wants you to go back there. You can't stay in this place any longer. I'll search the yacht for
"Mr. Suarez wants you to withdraw the case," her personal counselor told.She took out the papers and spread them in front of her.They were currently sitting in an empty seat near the buffet area of the resort. She glanced at it but didn't bother to read even the first paragraph written on it."That man's head is really messed up. Did he really think the bad things he caused in my life were just a joke? I almost lost my baby because of him," she said casually.She crumpled the papers given by the attorney.She could not allow him not to be imprisoned. If her husband remains free, there is a chance that Vincent will return to her again and do harmful things."I want to speed up the divorce process, Attorney. And make sure he doesn't get anything from me, not even a cent.""Well, if that's what you want, that's what I'll follow, Miss Lichauco. I can also assure you that your husband will be in jail. He will face many charges," the attorney replied formally.They discussed some more per
Vincent is already drunk but he still doesn't stop drinking. The loud music and shouts of the people dancing around were deafening, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to drink a lot of alcohol until his body collapsed.Until now, he has no idea where his wife is hiding. Romana's attorney has already sent divorce papers but he has no intention of signing it, even if he dies!"Where are you hiding, woman?!" he said with difficulty.He ordered some of his loyal men to look for his wife but no one can tell the exact location where Romana is temporarily hanging around.Even Roman was secretly watched by him but he didn't gain anything from tailing his brother-in-law.He didn't know how many bottles of wine he drank, but he knew he drank too much. He could feel the pain in his head, his vision was also duplicated.From a dark corner of that club, Lalaine was secretly watching Vincent. Watching the man's every move. She managed to escape from Tristan. The woman made Tristan take sleeping
Vincent looked at the guy who humiliated him with glazing eyes. The man's hand raised again.Another hard punch to his face landed that made him crash into the iron barrier. His eyesight doubled, followed by his body falling to the floor.The man wasn't satisfied yet. Its strong foot stepped on his body while the rest of its inmates were laughing.When he got fed up, the man grabbed the collar of Vincent's orange t-shirt and then forced him to stand up."That kind of behavior won't work here, kid! If you want to live, it's better if you join us. Because you won't have any allies here, we'll be the only ones for you!" teeth gritted, the dude said, dictating the right thing to do.Even though his body was bruised, he was able to remove its hands from the collar of his t-shirt, then he pushed its broad chest away."I-I don't need any help! I-I would never join you! I-I'm not like you, criminals!""This bastard is extraordinarily ridiculous!" The guy scared him with another blow."Stop ri
"Take me to them! I want to go to where that bitch is hiding!" Lalaine ordered her driver.A few seconds passed, but the man she ordered did not move."What the hell are you waiting for?! I said take me to them!""I'm afraid of what might happen if I follow you, Miss Montenegro. Boss Tristan already knows your plans."Frustrated, she slumped down on the chair and then stroked her forehead. Tristan is the obstacle in all her plans."Take me to the mansion. I'll take care of explaining to him."The man instantly turned on the car. After a moment, they reached the mansion where they were staying.As soon as she entered, Tristan's furious face greeted her. He recklessly grabbed her arm and held her tightly."Where did you go, huh?!" She felt the pent-up anger in the way Tristan held her.Lazily, she blew air and rolled her eyes. "What drama is it again, Tristan? Do you really intend to lock me in this place forever?! I'm so sick of it! Can't I go outside to catch some fresh air?!""Don't
"Is that what you think of me, huh?! Am I a fucking plaything for you?! Are you really not going to stop pestering me?! You have a girlfriend, don't you? Why don't you bother her with your absurdity?! "She violently grabbed her sunglasses from his hand."I repeat . . . Stay away from me!"Again, Romana put the cover over her sore eyes and then hurriedly walked away.She left Evo alone, caressing his cheek with the mark of Romana's hand."Dunderhead!" Disappointed man said to himself while knocking his head.He hasn't even tamed the girl, but seems his chance has been decreased because of what he did. Evo's only intention was to invite her to breakfast because it was already but she hadn't come out of her room yet, but his teasing came first . . . His technique was crooked.He came after Romana and just watched her from a distance. If he approaches her again, she won't just slap her.Romana was already sitting at a table and in front of her was a plate of pasta but her attention was n
"Manong! Bigyan mo ako ng isa pa!" mando ni Romana sa sorbetero ngunit mabilis na senenyasan ni Evo ang tindero na huwag na siyang bigyan. Hinugot nito ang makapal na pitaka mula sa bulsa at saka naglabas ng ilang papel na pera. Inabot iyon ni Evo sa tindero ng ice cream. Pagod na ito kanina pa dahil sa pagsisilbi kay Romana."Tama na 'yan . . . Masama ang lahat ng sobra kaya tumigil ka na sa pagkain niyan. Baka sipunin ka . . . Kawawa naman si baby."Napalabi siya nang hilahin nito ang kaniyang kamay palayo sa sorbetero. Sa tanang buhay niya ay ngayon pa lang siya nakatikim ng ganoon kasarap na ice cream.Wala pa rin siyang kibo hanggang sa marating nila ang isang bakanteng cottage."Maupo ka muna. Sobrang init na sa labas, dito na lang muna tayo," suhestiyon nito. Walang tugon na umupo siya sa kawayang upuan, ang mga mata niya ay nakalihis sa direksyon ng lalaki. Napansin ni Evo ang pagtatampo niya kaya naman umupo na rin ito sa kaniyang tabi.Nakokonsensya si Evo habang tinititig
Gradually, Evo brought his face closer to hers. Her mind was confused, unable to decide whether to flee or extend . . . Voluntarily, her eyes turned shut when they were only inches apart.But at the last moment, Vincent's face came to her mind. Violently, she pushed Evo's chest and then quickly stood up from his lap."I-I'm sorry. I-I can't pay back the way you feel for me. I-I'm going through a lot right now; my mind isn't in order. I-I don't want to make a hasty decision."She walked quickly away from the cottage; and routed back to the resort where they were staying."Romana, hold on!"She stopped walking when Evo pulled her arm."Evo, please! Don't bother me about that! I don't want to put flirting into my timetable! I want to prioritize my health so that my baby can be healthy too!""I know . . . I'm sorry if I surprised you . . ." a gentle response from him.He knotted their palms together and bent slightly to touch his soft lips to Romana's hand."Just let me cherish you and ta
