Moonlight Serenade [English] Chapter 39-A
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

She did not have the courage to bring a box of erotica to the mansion. Even against her will, she agreed to burn all the books. She didn't have any container for them. There was no place for erotica in her dad's mansion nor in Gideon's house. And it hurt a lot. Her babies were rejected and she felt like being rejected also by both parties. She really loves those books and yet she is now outside Gideon's house, watching a box of erotica being eaten by fire.Jewel was in tears. She didn't quite think Gideon would disagree with her. That jerk was the cause of this mess! But she didn't have the power to dominate him!It was as if his confession to her last night was not true. Jewel looked at Gideon who was at the entrance of the house and was talking to Tang. Dalya and Pedro were not outside. Her fists clenched. That controlling beast!Tang entered the house while Gideon walked towards her. It occasionally looked at those erotica's being engulfed by fire. He stopped in front of her and

Gabbi sat down next to Jasmine and folded her arms. She did not answer her question.The Director smiled wryly. "Miss Mangubat, we are deeply sorry for the issue brought by that article.""So this is all about that," she whispered.The Director nodded. "We have found the culprit. We already discussed this with your parents but I still have to summon them. They will be here ---" The Director stopped speaking when resounding footsteps were heard throughout the room. The divider door spat in her parents. The Director stood. "It's nice to have you here, Mr. and Mrs. Mangubat."Her father nodded while her mother did not greet back. They sat down on either side of her. The Director just smiled and sat down on his chair.A woman then entered. It was the Guidance Counselor of her Department, Mrs. Policarpio. She sat next to Jasmine and Jewel understood the woman was her blockmate’s guardian. When she looked at Gabbi, she was just folding her arms with no one sitting beside acting as a guardia

Jewel's brows met. Jasmine sounded desperate. What if Gabbi was just a victim of a set-up and was just framed? What if Jasmine just fabricated the story? Gabbi still didn't speak so there's probably a reason why Jasmine was so desperate to make her believe her words."And you expect me to believe your accusation, Jasmine?" Her eyes narrowed.Jasmine swallowed hard and shifted her gaze from her and to her parents. "Y-Yes! Haven't you severed your relationship? She's no longer your friend! One more thing, we're classmates since grade eleven so you know if I'm telling the truth!"She laughed wryly. "We're only classmates, not bestfriends. How will I know if you're telling the truth?"Jasmine's body stiffened. "J-Jewel Laine ..."She folded her arms and glanced at Gabbi. Still the girl's not saying a thing so there must be something wrong here. "How did you meet Gabbi?"Jasmine swallowed the lump in her throat, trying her best to calm her breathing. "He's my grade school classmate. I know

Hazel and Joseph entered the Director's office at the same time. Jewel looked away, averting her gaze from the two. Joseph had returned to class the other day from the intercampus competition in Cebu City. She heard UDM took second place in the Regional and held a celebration party last night at the function hall. She did not attend even though she was invited."Good morning, D-Director," Hazel greeted.Joseph smiled. "Good morning, Sir." He looked at her and her parents. The smile disappeared from his lips and restrained himself. "Good morning, Jewel."But she did greet Joseph back, not when her father was throwing daggers at him through sharp glares. The Director let the the two be seated in the visitor lair opposite the table. "Do you know why you're here?" he asked. Hazel shook her head. "No."Joseph just shrugged. "We have a class today, Sir, when suddenly your office called for us.""Miss Hazel and Mister Joseph, I have a video to show you and you explain afterwards." The Dire

Warning: Theme and Language.She was sweaty while sitting on the bed. She looked down at herself and closed her eyes. Still the same, naked. Jewel looked up at the wall clock and saw that it's already three o'clock in the morning.'And it's still the same dream. Sex with the same man,' she thought.But the dream this time was something strange. She already remembered the man's thin and red lips, as well as the goofy grin that never faded throughout the scene of her dream. Her hand clutched her bare and sweaty chest, catching her breath.Her wrists hurt as if someone was holding them tightly. Her scalp ached as if someone had pulled her hair. And she's not surprise to see the light red marks on her arm and chest.Jewel swallowed hard. Her hair stood on end and her chest tightened as her mind tried to remember the man in the dream. She remembered his grin clearly as if it was not a dream and she can still feel his warm kiss on her neck.She bit her lower lip.At first it was okay for h

"It's nothing," she denied. "Who did that ---""I said it's nothing, Manang.""Iha ---""Shut up!" she yelled, frowning hard. Jewel sprang to her feet and ran back into her room. She bit her lip as her heartbeat quickened. She stopped first in the hallway and took a deep breath, before resuming her walk to the room and entering it, slamming the door shut. Her body trembled with fear. No one should know her secret. No one!She quickly went to bed and sat on the bed side. Her hand reached for the cellphone under the lampshade then opened the reading app.It's still three in the morning so she still had a lot of time to spend reading erotica. The online one-on-one class session will begin later that day. Jewel smiled, a kind of smile similar to the smile of the man in her dream.But she didn't see nor notice it because she was so focused on reading a bedscene. A few minutes of reading erotica stories before she covered herself with a blanket, and did the 'thing' again.After that, Je

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

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
