Moonlight Serenade [English] Chapter 34
"Don't mess with me! It's not just Mangubat you're going to face if you'll disclose it, Tiara," she warned and quickly left the Domesticated Forest. Tiara didn't stop her, much to her relief. She didn't know if Tiara would really do her threat on her, but there was only one thing she had to do and that's to look at Tiara's next steps. She would first see if the girl would spread about her marriage with Gideon. She didn’t believe Tiara would do that without regards to consequences. Not only her father would chase Tiara, but also the Hernandez and the University. It was the reason why she didn't tell Gideona about Tiara's threat on her. She also hid the recording pen and did not inform the Guidance office, in the hope that no secret would spread in the campus. But she was too fool and naive to believe her wishes more than reality, because the next day, she was greeted with hostile and ridiculing stares from the students around her. She had a hunch at that time what's happening so her

"It's been a week, Laine."Her brows met and she looked around, hoping to see the Professor named Gideon. After that incident, he no longer entered the class. She did not see the man even in the administration building or in the agriculture building. It was as if he had disappeared like a bubble. She could not understand why."Laine."Her head snapped back to Jasmine and sighed. "Sorry? What is it again?""You're not listening, eh. Who are you looking for?"She averted her eyes and sighed again. "Gideon.""Gideon?" Jasmine's forehead creased. "Well, there are many Gideons in the country. But I know one. Professor Gideon. Is he the one you're looking for, Laine?"She blinked, grinning and smiling. "Yes. Where is he now?""Oh, I'm sorry. He resigned three days later after you were rushed to the hospital. He didn't say goodbye to us so I can't tell you the reason.""Resigned?" she blurted out. Jasmine nodded. Jewel swallowed. "That's why he wasn't in class earlier?"Jasmine nodded immedi

It was getting dark when they reached Gideon's house. She immediately got out of the car and took big steps towards the gate. Jewel rang the doorbell and looked up at the glowing house. It was too quiet. Was there someone inside? If there's none, why almost all lights were turned on?She breathed a sigh of relief when the main door opened. Tang came out and when he saw her, he quickened his steps towards her."Maam Laine! Who's with you? Are you alone when you came here?" he asked as he opened the gate."I have a driver with me, Mang Tang. He's in the car. Has Gideon arrived?"The old man shook his head and gestured for her to follow. Jewel immediately complied. Tang answered, "Sir Manasseh is in Oslob, Maam.""But he told me that he'll be home tonight.""Is that so? Maybe he's still traveling, Maam. Oslob is too far from Medellin."She shrugged her shoulders and looked down at her wristwatch. She still had time to wait for him. "Then I'll take my seed project first, Mang Tang. Where

Jewel stared at him, waiting for him to speak again but only silence answered her. She sighed and averted her gaze. "It's fine if you see me as worthless.""Jewel, you're not worthless.""If I'm not, then why are you avoiding me? Why did you give me away just like that? If I am a burden to you, then we can have a divorce... if that's what you like," she said, whispering the last sentence. "Do you want to?" he asked. Jewel stared at him, lips parting in disbelief. She burst into tears as she bit her trembling lip. She kept on cursing him as she covered her face with her palms, sobbing louder. Gideon did not say a word again until she calmed down. She raised her head only to meet his melancholic gaze. "Jewel, I'm sorry. Your husband is just too weak and is not good enough for you.""I never ask for a perfect husband, Gideon," she said, sadness was evident in her voice. "I only ask for someone whom I can trust and run to, someone who will never betray me and accept me for who I am." J

She could feel Gideon squeezing her hand. Smiling softly, she inhaled the evening breeze. Jewel looked up at the sky and stared at the full moon. The evening breeze passed them slowly, caressing her bare cheek."The moon shines bright tonight," Gideon whispered.Jewel looked at Gideon standing beside her. He was also looking up at the moon and had a small smile on hiss lips. Jewel just gaze at him, breathless."A perfect night for a moonlight serenade, isn't it?" he said. Gideon looked down at her and then smiled softly. "Do you mind if I sing a song?"She shook her head. "No." Raising a brow, she smirked. "Just make sure that song isn't for other women like Elise.""Silly." Gideon chuckled. "Still jealous? I told you, I'm not seeing Elise."Jewel averted her gaze. "I don't believe you." Then she withdrew her hand from his hold and folded her arms in her chest, looking at the ocean glowing under the moonlight. 'The place is just magnificent,' she thought.She was surprised when Gideo

It was an awkward morning. When she woke up, the gray ceiling of the room was the first thing she saw. There was a wide study table on the side, a gray cupboard, and someone standing at the foot of the bed who was folding his arm across his chest and looking at her with a serious gaze. It was Gideon. Jewel was stunned. She quickly grab the blanket to cover naked body but someone pulled at the blanket completely exposing herself to him. Jewel widened her eyes and pulled the blanket back and Gideon let her. He frowned while looking at the faint red marks on her wrist.Jewel hid her arm at her back and smiled wryly at him. "It's just an ordinary mark. I always got this every morning. Don't worry. Uhm, why are you here in my room?"She averted her gaze. She was not used to talking to someone without washing her face. What if there's something on her face?Gideon put his hands in his pockets. "We have something to talk about."She glanced at Gideon. His hair was slightly wet and he was we

She continued to climb up the stairs and didn't intent to listen to Gideon's calling on her name. Gideon couldn't force her. Didn’t he confess that he loves her? He should give her what she wants!"Jewel," Gideon's voice was loud. That was a warning, yet Jewel didn't listen."Jewel Laine Hernandez!" She's now sure that Gideon is mad. She quickened her pace up the stairs but the weight of the box slowed her down."Bring that box here or else I'll punish you!"Punishment? She bit her lip and smiled bitterly. "What punishment? You'll force me to sleep with you?""Jewel Laine!" Gideon is really mad.She ran up the rest of the stairs, taking fast steps to reach her room sooner. Jewel dropped the box in front of the door."I'll lock you here, babies. I'll read you next time," she whispered then turned the doorknob but it's locked.She tried again but nothing happened. Jewel's body stiffened when she realized something. Her room's lock and she didn't have the key!Jewel angrily ruffled her o

Jewel nodded and chuckled. "Yeah, it tastes bitter. But it's delicious," she said and took another sip as if she was enjoying it. They drank a few more glasses before her vision became blurred and the sorrounding seemed spinning. She grabbed Joseph's arm. Joseph immediately held her. "Precious Jewel, are you alright?"She raised her gaze at the man and stared at his face for few seconds. "Simoen?" she called softly.Joseph frowned. "I'm not Saavedra."But tried to shake her head but only dizziness hit her. Jewel frowned as loud music was making her headache worse. Reaching his wrist, she pulled him out of the function hall and out of the Specialized building. The gentle wind blew away the lingering perfumes around her. Jewel sighed in relief. "Precious Jewel," Joseph called but Jewel did not seem to hear his calling. He saw a waiter giving out some bottles of water and because he felt thirsty, he grabbed one before Jewel could take him away.Jewel took Joseph to the Treesury which

The place was brightly lit with lights twinkling in the dark. It was her favorite time of the year -- the holiday -- because it's time for the year end party. Tomorrow's the start of the holiday vacation and Jewel was excited to spend her vacation on reading her favorite x-rated books. "Look! Isn't that Sheena Marquez? The so-called queen bee of the campus?" Hazel's voice awakened her from stupor. Jewel raised her gaze and saw a girl in a black dress with red lips. Her hair was raised in a ponytail and her posture was good, just as expected of a girl belonging to elite circle. She shook her head. Jewel never really care about the girls of the same status as her. When one had grew in a circle all her life, all the extravagance was just part of a normal day -- and this is what the elites have that commoners doesn't. Hazel and she walked towards the Specialized building. Tiara and Gabbi was already at the party. She even joked over the phone that she would ignore them for leaving her

Calixto could feel his heart skipped a beat. Dead fetus? His eyes wandered on the covered bed and pinched himself to keep his mind sane. "I'll settle everything she needs for the operation. Just do your job and make sure my wife will survive this ordeal. Understood?"The doctor frowned, not really happy with his threats, but didn't say anything and just turned around to prepare for the operation. Calixto on the other hand followed the intern who would guide him in completing the documents for the upcoming operation. He also called his son to come home. Clenching his fist, he looked beyond the open window where he could see the setting sun. It was four hours since the operation started and Calixto couldn't sit tight. His wife had a miscarriage, the doctor confirmed it. A four month dead fetus for pete's sake! It was four months ago when those bastards molested his wife. If he's not wrong, that dead fetus should be the product of what they did to her. It only means one thing --- they

It was the first time Calixto saw Nilda sighing in relief after he stopped touching her. A flash of pain appeared in his eyes but it was gone in a second. A smile flashed on his lips and asked what Nilda wants to eat. A day after Nilda woke up, Mayor Calixto decided to meet with Don Sebastian in his office. Sebastian was given no choice and he arranged a car for himself. Belinda was watching worriedly at her husband, occasionally biting her bottom lip in nervousness. "Why are you so pale? Your husband won't die," Don Sebastian joked upon seeing Belinda's face. She rolled his eyes and sighed. "Remember, our family is more important than any asset, Sebastian."Sebastian's gaze deepend and he smiled at Belinda. "I will come back unharmed. The Mayor won't do unnecessary troubles to his reputation.""Just don't fight head on. The Mayor is known for not giving face to the powerful clans. Remember what happened to the Saavedra last year, they lost face and five properties for not reportin

On a sunny day of March, a dreadful accident occured in the wide sugarcane plains of the Aisle. The Mayor's consort was involved in a hijack incident that killed ten people and took a hostage. Consort Nilda was abducted into a secluded area of the Aisle and was molested by two men. When the police arrived at the incident, the consort had been unconscious for too long that she was hanging by a thread. The Mayor then threatened the Mangubat to investigate the matter thoroughly or he would make them pay. The whole clan was in chaos after knowing the Mayor's threat. Since the ancient time, no one dared to do shameful act within the Aisle because people fear the influence and power the Mangubat clan had. But ever since Mayor Calixto Hernandez took office, the people grew courage in their actions. It's because the current mayor's not afraid of the elite circle and even fought with other powerful clans. Now, the criminals were bold enough to do shameful acts inside the powerful clans' prop

He left Medellin after he broke a woman's heart. Gideon could still remember Julie's words. "Promise me that you'll gonna come back, Gideon. I will wait for you in Medellin."And he promised her even though he was not sure how many years it will pass by before he could come back to his hometown again. Sighing, he looked outside the bus window and enjoyed the sea glistening under the sun. The bus was travelling by the coastal road in Bogo, following the path to the city where he intended to go. He had received his Masteral degree in UDM and currently has no plans to continue his teaching profession. But maybe when he retire in the army in the future, he might go back to his degree and find a suitable teaching job. It didn't take too long for him to arrive in Cebu City where he got off the bus and strode towards the headquarters. He was instructed to get a full report on the tracks and connections of the said billionaire before going to Talisay where the secret operation will be condu

Walking out of the Treesury and onto Specialized building for his hat, he walked out of UDM and to the renowned Tindog Bridge where he planned to hail a cab. A tricycle halted in front of him and Gideon immediately rode on it. "Sir, where to?""The Municipality Hall."The tricycle driver thought for a moment before he shook his head. "I'm on different route, Sir." Scratching his nape, he smiled apologetically. "I won't drive straight to Municipal Hall. I can only drive you to the Aisle." Gideon frowned and he looked down on his wristwatch. It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon. The Municipal Hall had only an hour break for lunchtime and his father would travel to Mandaue for a meeting in the city this two in the afternoon so he got only an hour to spare. What a luck. It would not be a problem to reach his father's office in an hour if his car didn't break down yesterday. But it's only his wishful thinking. Now, he needed to ride a public transport but it would take so much time.

"What are you staring at?" Elise asked, folding her arms in front and frowning at him. Gideon shook his head. "Nothing." And excused himself. Julie glanced at Elise before she followed him. The woman ran after him and cleared her throat. "So... did her voice ring a bell?" she asked. The corner of Gideon's lips curled up as he glanced at her. He didn't answer her question because he remembered Elise now, the girl who shamed him in front of his batchmate. It was on the fourth of July and the dark clouds hovered above. The students were running to seek shelter from incoming rain but a boy and a girl were left behind, not having a plan to seek shelter. "What? You like me?" Elise said, looking at a frail looking young lad who was blinking his tear brimmed eyes. "Elise, I ---" The girl raised a hand and looked at him from head to toe. "You are so dirty. Come on, how could a girl like me like someone as weak as you? What's your name again, Senior?" Gideon bit his bottom lip as he low

Note: Special chapters are about the life Jewel and Gideon before they met in the Aisle of Medellin four years ago (Epilogue). Enjoy!~~~He searched for the woman's hand and pinned it above her head as he continued his conquest on her body. She gasped and Gideon groaned, releasing his load inside her. "Honey~" The woman called and wrapped her arms around his sweaty torso. Gideon squinted his eyes and he removed the woman's arms, moving out of the bed. The woman watched as he entered the bathroom and took a bath. Few minutes later, he walked out of the bathroom and searched for his clothes on the floor, putting it on. "Honey, where are you going?" the woman asked. He didn't give her a glance at all and walked out of the room. Gideon could still hear the commotion behind him as the woman tried to run after him, wearing nothing but a sheet. "Honey, what is this?! After you used me, you're turning your back? What the heck! What's the difference between you and those scumbags?" When
