"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

"Why, Ma?" Jewel swallowed hard, not believing what her mother had said. "We can take the land title back from them. And we have been planting and reaping harvests on Aisle for ten years so it's possible to take it back when they let us use the Aisle for ten years!""That's because your father asked the Mayor. The Hernandez already has a lot of land so they let us plant and harvest in Aisle. But that doesn't mean they will allow us forever. So your father and I had planned to marry you off to the Mayor's son to make sure that our clan will not lose ownership..." Her mother smiled softly. "For the sake of the next generation of our clan, Jewel.""Maybe we can buy the Aisle again!"Donya Belinda shook her head. "You can only buy a title if the current owner sells it, Jewel. We can't take it back until the Hernandez decides to sell, but how long should we wait for it? We don't want to pass on to you and your children the weight of the Aisle's responsibility.""But you married me off to G

She gave a last look for the mansion she grew up to before entering the pick-up. All her belongings were in the back of the car and the car stereo was ringing loudly. In fact, her ears were almost shattered by the noise but she remained silent and stared out the window.The driver glanced at her in the rearview but did not waste his saliva to ask if she was okay. That's better. Jewel was not in the mood to speak. A part of her wanted to go back to the mansion but there was also part of her who wanted to go back to Gideon's house. She was confused.The part that wanted to go back to Gideon's house was partly afraid of what she found out earlier. And the part that wanted to go back to the mansion's the part that's ashamed of what she found out -- the truth of those strange red marks on her skin.She was confused, didn't know if she regret that she put on the camera or be relieved because she knew no one's raping her every night?The volume of the music lowered. "Maam, same house in Cans

It was way too early in the morning. The sun had not yet risen but Gideon's spirit was wide awake. He was sitting in a hotel lobby while leaning on his back and facing his cellphone, typing a text message for Jewel.'Good morning, Jewel. Do you want to taste dried mangoes? I'll buy you some.'That's what he wanted to send to the woman but he couldn't press the send button. He just stared at the letters like an idiot.He is currently in a private hotel somewhere in Bogo City, just kilometers away from Medellin, at the hotel he spent the night. This is where he and Angela's older brother Arnel met, and this is where he plans to leave the car.Arnel insisted that they should take a bus. And he agreed. After all, they were going to a getaway conference. It would be better if he will took off some of his comforts for better experience.When he heard Arnel's voice, he put the cellphone in his pocket, stood up, and slung his backpack into his back. He no longer sent Jewel the text message.A

He slung the backpack on his back and followed Arnel down the bus. The sunlight kissed his cheek."Analisa's house is near Poblacion Market. She offered to take us to the camp," Arnel said."I see."Arnel turned to him for a moment. "Angela told me you've already talked to Analisa.""Yes." He clutched the backpack in the back and looked around. "We've settled. There's no fight between Analisa and I.""No fight?" Arnel laughed. "You just told me you got along. And the woman was hurt. You gave her false hope."Gideon nodded. sighing. "My fault.""Well you know, Gid." He gestured for him to follow. Gideon walked after him. "She was your girlfriend but you got married without letting her know. Pitiful lady. She did hope you'll return to Mantalongon after few months.""I've already apologized to Analisa." He sighed. "Let's not talk about that."Arnel just shrugged his shoulders and fell silent. Gideon suddenly felt sad for Analisa and Jewel.He didn’t let Analisa know he was getting marrie

Note: Chapter 45 contains preaching about sins (Biblical representation).~The night was cold and the moon was round in the sky. They are currently sitting around a bonfire just on the edge of the sea shore. There were almost ten of them sitting around the big bonfire, smiling and laughing. Someone even sang a song that was familiar to Gideon.A smile tugged the corner of his lips. How many years did he last attended such occasion? The peace, the genuine smile and happiness, the honesty, the warm embrace... these were one of the things that he missed.His head snapped on Analisa's direction, and saw the woman smiled and laughed as she stared at the bonfire. Arnel was next to her telling a story. Gideon's lips curved into a smile. He's happy that Analisa can smile despite their conversation earlier this morning."Do you think Analisa's pretty?" the man seating beside him asked.Gideon looked sideways. "You like her?" "She's not bad."He looked at Analisa who was happily chatting with

Gideon felt cold sweat trickled down his back as he continued listening to Zion. He felt stuffed, guilty, and ashamed. All of his words sounded exactly for him who was hiding his vices from the public. "Gid," Arnel called in a whisper but because he had good hearing due to military training, he still heard him. He looked sideways and their gazes met. Arnel gestured to Analisa and it took him a few moments before he understood what the man was saying. They both secretly looked at Analisa and Gideon immediately averted his gaze.He remembered that Analisa was a sex slave of some rich business tycoon in Cebu. But after he saved her from an operation in Talisay and met Christ, she changed her life.But Analisa confessed that she felt shame and guilt that's why she can not fully approach the throne of grace with confidence. He had prayed for her, and he hope now that Analisa do not have the same mindset she had years ago.The irony of it all, it was he who needs prayers to overcome his

Warning: Language might be disturbing to some readers. Please beware.~The house was silent as his footsteps echoed in the living room. After the gathering, Gideon drove back to Mantalongon with a light heart. He had completely let go of his vices and while thinking of what he did to his wife and all of those quarrels, he felt guilty. The truth? He had no right to condemn Jewel when he himself was also addicted to x-rated materials."I don't know what happened, Sir. But Senyorita locked herself inside the room."Gideon turned his gaze to Dalya who was walking beside him. The maid was in tears and could not look directly at his eyes. He cleared his throat. "In my room?"The woman nodded. Gideon put the backpack on the sofa and he looked up at the top of stairs. "Get our lunch ready. I'm going to see her," he said."Ah, Sir..." Dalya bit her bottom lip. "She was in your room since last night. She didn't eat dinner and I don't know why Senyorita is m-moaning.""Moaning?" His two eyebrow

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
Moonlight Serenade [English] Special Chapter: Jewel (Part 1)
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
Moonlight Serenade [English] Special Chapter: Gideon (Part 3)
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
