In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 27: Hook up?
Audrey sat on her seat quietly. On the other hand, Regan has been watching her intently. He was gazing on her in silence. Her actions were small and subtle. She was always like this to strangers. Napaiwas siya ng tingin. His eyes narrowed a bit as he smiled. It was cute seeing her like that. "Young master, sa Royale Hotel po ba ang punta natin?" tanong ng driver na sumulyap sa kanila gamit ang salamin sa harap. He had a quick glance of the woman beside his master and he noticed immediately how she was simply dressed and consciously keeping a distance to Regan Amadeus. He immediately knew that this is a respectable woman, not someone who would be the master's past time. Royale Hotel has always been the place where Regan Amadeus brings his guest to entertain them. Mayroon din itong permanent private rooms para panatilihan ng mga bisita niya kapag kailangan. Regan pasued for a while then he glanced at Audrey. "What do you think, Serenity? Do you have somewhere to recommend?" he aske

Halos wala sa sarili si Lawrence habang puno ng tanong ang isip sa nakikitang senaryo. Gayle saw that Lawrence's expression was getting even more gloomy because of the sight. She was alarmed for a moment and there was a pinch in her heart but she flashed a smile on her face. "I never thought that Miss Audrey would know Mr. Regan... Dati, nag aalala ako sa mangyayari sa kaniya after ng divorce niyo but it seems like she will be fine. Siguradong inaalagaan siya ni Mr. Regan kaya magiging maayos ang future niya," marahan niyang sinabi. Lawrence glanced at Gayle. Her gaze were kind and gentle. He composed himself and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded. Right, why would he feel this way? He has Gayle, someone who's really kind and thoughtful. Gayle is the only one worthy of his attention and he's lucky to spend his life with her. Kung anuman ang nararamdaman niya sa puso niya ngayon na iritasyon ay sandaling discomfort lang. It was just his possessiveness and his ego as a man

"Reina can be naughty sometimes, I hope she's not causing you any trouble." Sensing the silence between them, Regan took the lead to break it. He was the one to speak first, breaking the silence. Before Audrey could speak, a red velvet gift box was placed in front of her. Marahan na inilapag iyon ni Regan sa harap niya. The Cartier gold-plated logo printed on it made Audrey stunned for a moment: "Mr. Vasquez, what is this?" lito niyang tanong. Regan slowly opened the box for her. A rose gold diamond bracelet lay beautifully inside, emitting colorful light under the refraction of various light sources in the room. "Reina rarely gets so close to others. It's rare for her to open her heart, Serenity. So I treat you as my friend, too, from now on." Regan lowered his eyes, then looked up at her, his eyes were full of Audrey's beautiful reflection: "I hope you don't mind me calling you Serenity. I like calling you that name and I hope it won't bother you." Serenity

Unti-unting nawala ang emosyon sa mukha ni Audrey. "Unfortunately," she replied in an indifferent tone. Pumunta sa harap ng salamin si Audrey at marahan na nagpunas ng tissue sa labi para i-retouch ang kaniyang lipstick. Si Gayle ay muling nagsalita, halatang ayaw matapos agad ang usapan nila. "I am with Lawrence and earlier, we thought that we were just seeing things... Nakita ka namin kasama si Mr. Vasquez na pumasok dito sa Royale Hotel. When did you become close with him, Miss Audrey?" she asked in her usual sweet voice. Marahan nitong hinawi ang buhok na umaabot ang dulo sa kaniyang collarbone. Gayle moves really gently and gracefully, looking harmless and virtuous as ever. Audrey took her time to answer. She threw the tissue into the trash can before speaking. "Miss Nuñez, don't ask me about anything in my life... We aren't close." Unting-unti na nawala ang ngiti sa labi ni Gayle. She composed herself and tried to smile again. She even took a deep breath, wi

Walang pakialam si Audrey kay Gayle at never niyang na-imagine na magkakaroon sila nh confrontation. But her patience was tested today in the comfort by that pretentious woman. Iritado siya nang maalala ang nangyari. Talagang kayang-kaya gamitin nito ang inosente niyang hitsura. She was not in a good mood anymore. Minabuti niyang hindi muna bumalik sa private dining room agad. She planned to go to the front desk to pay their bill first. Kinausap siya sandali ng naroon tungkol sa meal computation. She slowly calmed down and decided that after that, she will be back to Regan and Reina to continue their meal. After swiping her card, she turned around. Napahinto siya sa paghakbang nang makita kung sino ang naroon sa may likod niya. It was the heroine of the big drama and her fiancé who happened to be Audrey's ex-husband. Halos mapairap siya sa kamalasan niya. Originally, she wanted to pretend that she didn't see them. Lalampasan na sana niya ang mga ito nang biglang magsalita si L

Agad napalingon ang dalawa sa bagong dating. Pareho silang nabigla na sa baritonong boses na sumingit sa pag-uusap nila. Lawrence was even more stunned for a while, he looked really surprised when he realized who it was. "I didn't expect that Mr. Vasquez would have the habit of eavesdropping on someone else's conversation," aniya sa pilit na pinatapang na boses. He tried his best to calm himself and gather his composure. Regan Amadeus stood beside Audrey, his demeanor was calm and really manly. He was oozing with confidence. "How can you eavesdrop in public?" he simply stated as if it was an answer to a stupid accusation. Sumulyap siya kay Lawrence kapagkuwan ay namulsa. "Besides, you're only part of Serenity's past, right, Mr. Villafuente? Don't you think you are meddling in her life too much?" kalmado niyang tanong sa lalake.Serenity? Did he really call Audrey, Serenity?Lalong hindi naging maganda ang ekspresyon sa mukha ni Lawrence sa narinig mula sa lalake. He knew that Regan

Nag-drive na pauwi si Lawrence dala si Gayle since sakanila na ito nagi-stay. He was in a lighter mood now after his conversation with Gayle. Pagpasok pa lang nila sa mansion ng mga Villafuente, excited siyang sinalubong ng kapatid niya na si Leandra. Patalon-talon pa itong lumapit sa kaniya. "Look, Kuya! Guess what I saw today!" she happily said. Halos isubsob niya sa mukha ng Kuya Lawrence niya ang screen ng kaniyang phone. "That bîtch! Look here! This is Audrey and based on this picture, she definitely cheated on you when you were still her husband!" She sounded so proud of her discovery, thinking it is something that will make him glad. Napatitig si Lawrence sa screen ng phone. Picture iyon ni Audrey kung saan nasa may labas ng luxury car ni Regan silang dalawa. Sa anggulo ng picture na 'yon ay tila may namamagitan talaga sa dalawa. He realized that it was captured just earlier based on their clothes. The dissatisfaction in his heart rose again. Ang mas magaan niyang aura na

Lawrence went upstairs alone. He can't silence his mind. Hindi niya ito makontrol. The scene of Audrey and Regan leaving together kept on flashing in his mind. He frowned and gritted his teeth. Hindi niya na napigilan na bumunot ng sigarilyo at sindihan iyon. He immediately put it in between his lips and puffed a smoke. Did Audrey really betray him while they were still married? Hindi siya mapalagay sa katanungan na 'yon sa isip niya. Thinking of Audrey's indifference and the fact that she voluntarily signed the divorce agreement, Lawrence felt that it's not impossible. May tsansa na nag-cheat si Audrey habang kasal pa sila. He took a deep puff of cigarette once again then picked up his phone. He looked for the number he rarely dialed.Driven by his intense curiosity and suspicion, he felt the need and urge to talk to Audrey. Kailangan malaman niya ang lahat. He needs answers directly from her! He called her number but he was answered by the female operator voice. "Sorry, the num

In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 79: Not Welcome!
Half an hour ago, Audrey wanted to cook some noodles in the kitchen. Sinubukan niya kaso talagang sumakit ang legs niya dahil sa mga paso niya kaya tinawagan na lang niya ang bestfriend niyang si Lucy. Pagdating nito ay alalang-alala ang babae. Audrey had no choice but to tell everything to Lucy. Lahat ng nangyari ay kinwento niya sa matalik na kaibigan, simula sa nangyari sa kompetisyon, sa pagsabuy ng mainit na tubig ni Leandra sa kaniya, and even the fact that Lawrence went to infirmary with such request and demands.Kaya naman gigil na gigil si Lucy matapos marinig ang buong kwento ng nangyari. "Ang mga hayop na 'yon talaga! 'Yang si Leandra, ayaw ko na talaga sa babae na 'yan noon pa. When you're still her sister in law, she bullied you and treated you as if you are her nanny. Ngayon na divorce ka na sa gagó niyang kuya, talatang pinapakialaman at kinakalaban ka pa rin niya. Ang pangit-pangit talaga ng ugali ng babaeng 'yan, sobra na!"Napailing si Audrey saka bumuntong-hininga.

Agad siyang yumakap sa Kuya Lawrence niya at agad siyang umiyak, hindi pa rin nauubos ang luha mula kanina. "Kuya, please! Palabasin mo ako rito. Ayoko dito! Please, kuya. I don't like it here, I don't belong in this place!" Ang ina niya ay tinignan siya, awang awa at tila nadudurog ang puso para sa anak. "Alalang-alala kami sayo ng kuya mo, Leandra. As soon as we heard the news that you were in trouble, we immediately went to find that bîtch to release you from here, but she refused to let you out no matter what! And that Vasquez, I think he is determined to protect Audrey. And were you even thinking? Bakit kinalaban mo pa talaga si Reina knowing na isa siyang Vasquez!? How dare you mess with their family!" "Mom! I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Please get me out of her quickly! All the news tomorrow will definitely be about me being taken away by the police! How embarrassing would that be? I don't want it! Kuya, you will definitely help me, right?" Punong-puno ng luha ang m
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 77: Triggered
Maingat ang paghawak ni Regan kay Audrey. Tila ba babasagin siya na kailangan talaga ingatan. Kahit sa pagpapasakay nito sa kaniya sa kotse ay talagang dahan-dahan upang hindi masagi ang mga paso niya. After getting in the car, Audrey could see the condition of her legs clearly. After applying ice, her legs were now swollen. Napabuntong hininga siya habang pinagmamasdan iyon. Regan sat in the driver's seat, and he felt a little guilty seeing her wounds even clearer. After all, he was the one who gave Audrey the thermos cup, and he also put the hot water in it. If he hadn't given her the thermos cup, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened. Wala sanang maitatapon na mainit na tubig si Leandra kay Audrey. There was a deafening silence in the car. Pansin ni Audrey ang malalim na pag iisip ni Regan. "What are you thinking about? Parang ang lalim," aniya sa magaan na boses. He didn't have this expression in the infirmary just now. Could it be because of th
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 76: Release her!
"Keep it on for a while longer," ani Regan, tinutukoy ang ice pack na nagbibigay ginhawa kahit papaano kay Audrey sa sitwasyon niya. After a while, just as the ice was removed, the door of the infirmary was pushed open loudly. Pumasok ang pamilyang Villafuente, nangunguna ang ina nila na sinundan ni Lawrence at Gayle. Kasunod nila ang ama ni Gayle na sumama roon. "You, bitch! Give me back my daughter! Pinadampot mo siya sa mga pulis! Kausapin mo sila ngayon at ipa-release mo si Leandra!" Sinigaw iyon ni Thelma habang dinuduro siya. On the other hand, Lawrence was somewhat calm and rational. Nabigla pa siya mang makita ang lagay ni Audrey ngunit nang makita si Regan Amadeus sa tabi niya ay nagbago ang ekspresyon nito. "Sobra na ang ginawa mo, Audrey! We can apologize to you, mamghihingi ako ng tawad sayo para sa kapatid ko pero kaya hindi mo na kailangan na ipadampot siya sa mga pulis! Call the police now then tell them to release her, then we will negotiate later to
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 76: Burned
Leandra came back to her senses. Napatayo siya, nanlalaki ang mga mata. "No, you can't do that to me!" she screamed like a madman. Tinignan niya ang principal. "You must not call the police on me! If you call the police, my life will be over! Hindi pwede. I am also from the Villafuente family! My brother is on the school board. Hindi niyo pwedeng kalimutan 'yon!" she cried. Absolutely not! Hindi siya papayag. Never in her life did she imagine that she would be brought to the police station.Her eyes were full of tears. They must not call the police! Siya rin ang nag-iisang babaeng anak ng Villafuente. She's their princess and she had all the people's attention in their city. Once they called the police on her and she went to jail, she would be ostracized by all the rich families and she would inevitably become the target of their scorn. Pati pamilya niya ay damay at talagang malalagot siya sa kuya niya no'n. Principal Lee hesitated a little... after all, the Villafuentes w

Taas noo niyang tinignan si Leandra. Audrey's eyes became sharper, staring at the lady. "Who told you that?" tanong niya. Leandra's eyes dodged her gaze, but she still said with determination, "Don't worry about who told me that! Anyway, this test paper is the original test questions for the competition. Don't deny it! You helped Reina cheat because you have a good and close relationship with her! Bakit? Dahil gusto mo siyang manalo, 'di ba?" The people present were once again ignited with anger. Muling do'n na-focus ang attention nila, sa pambibintang kay Audrey. If it was really like what Leandra said, Audrey had the audacity in challenging the nerves of each of them. The long-lasting glory of the Department of Psychology has always been because of the annual psychological knowledge competition. And now, someone actually cheated in the school competition! Audrey smiled indifferently and stretched out her hand to get everyone's attention. "Please listen to me... Miss
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 73: How did she know?
Miss Vanessa, Professor Henry, the principal and all the judges were shocked and confused when they saw the test questions. They received a new set. Iba iyon sa test questionnaires na natanggap nila kaninang umaga at iyon ang inaasahan nilang gagamitin sa competition. All the contestants only had ten minutes to answer the questions. Pagkatapos ng unang round na 'yon ay nakabibiglang forty na estudyante lang ang nakalusot para sa susunod na round. Reina advanced to the next round while Leandra was immediately eliminated. Halos padabog siyang umexit. Kinuha niya ang bag niya saka galit na galit na kinuha ang crumpled na test paper mula roon. Ang alipores niyang si Gina ay agad siyang nilapitan para aluhin siya. "It's okay, Leandra. This is just a competition. At isa pa, si Audrey ang nag-organize no'n, so it's no big deal!" "Go away, Gina. Layuan mo ako!" she pushed her away as she threw tantrums. Gigil niyang pinunit ang test paper saka iyon tinapon sa kung saan. Iniwan
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 72: Test Questionnaire
Tumayo si Regan at kinuha ang pot kung nasaan ang iba pang tsaa na nagawa niya. Umuusok pa iyon. Dinala niya 'yon sa mesa kung nasaan si Audrey na pinagmamasdan siya. "Drink more of this tea. Ubusin mo," saad nito sa kaniya. Bahagyang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Audrey nang makita ang sinasabi nitong dapat niyang ubusin. "It's too much! Hindi ko 'yan mauubos, Mr. Vasquez." Sa dami no'n ay pwede pa siya ro'n maligo! It's an exaggeration, pero talagang marami iyon. It's impossible for her na ubusin ang lahat ng 'yon sa isang upuan lang. "It's for your health. It will make you feel even better." Regan smiled at her. "For your health." Rong Yu smiled gently. Hindi niya alam kung seryoso ba ito. Napatingin siya sa wall clock saka muling tinignan ang lalake. "Mr. Vasquez, it's already late. You should go home and rest..." Marahan niyang sinabi rito. Tumayo si Regan at tumango. "Remember to drink all of that." He reminder her. Pilit siyang napangiti. Hinatid niya ito sa may pin
In the Arms of the Enigmatic Billionaire Chapter 71: Preparation
Mas naging abala si Audrey sa araw bago ang kompetisyon. Halos tapos naman na ang paghahanda pero kailangan niyang balik-balikan ang mga detalye para masiguro na maayos ang lahat. Naging abala siya at ang mga estudyanteng katulong niya sa pag-organize ng competion sa pag-decorate sa venue kung saan iyon gaganapin bukas. Even Professor Henry was worried and stayed late with them. "Have you already secured the test questions for the competition?" Professor Henry asked. Tumango naman si Audrey. "Opo, Professor. It's already in the safe in the consultation room. I'm the only one who has the key to the safe." Professor Henry nodded. "That's good to hear." Nakangiti nitong sagot sa kaniya. Nang nauna ng umuwi si Professor Henry ay naiwan do'n si Audrey. She tested the various equipment in the auditorium again. She needed to make sure that everything will go as planned. After everything was checked, it was already 11:30 in the evening. Nakahinga nang maluwag s
