Moonlight Serenade [English] Special Chapter: Jewel (Part 4)
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

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 Aisle of Medellin is Cebu's longest straight road. A seven-and-a-half-kilometer highway connecting Dayhagon and Curva in the heart of sugarcane fields owned by the Mangubat since the founding of Medellin until the present day.The green and glorious field is the crown of Don Sebastian Mangubat and Donya Belinda Sanchez-Mangubat. And their daughter, Jewel Laine, prefers the small nipa hut on the opposite side of the field.The peaceful atmosphere is something she appreciates about that location. From within the hut, she could see the green sugarcane field and the white road of the Aisle in the distance. But what she enjoys the most is that no one dares to interrupt her reading time.It's an ideal location for her avid reader. Cool air, birds chirping, a peaceful setting —- "Miss Laine! Miss! Here are the books I've purchased!"She blinked and raised her head. She'd just finished praising the stillness of the place when a loud maid shouted outside the hut. It felt like someone slapp

"Hello?"She coughed and took a deep, long breath. "Haze?" she asked, looking out onto the balcony. "Have you returned home?""Yes, and why did you call?"She sighed and decided to get out of bed. She went out to the balcony to have some fresh air. It was three in the morning and darkness was still around. The Mayor of Medellin's lighthouse shone in the distance. Another deep breath. All she could hear were crickets hiding in the dark."I had a dream," she whispered on the phone."Well, that's to be expected.""No, I mean, I had a strange dream."The other line burst out laughing. "That's... well, what's your fantasy little girl?"She frowned. She thought of Hazel's drunken face, grinning from ear to ear, in front of her. "Come on, Hazel. Stop spouting nonsense, okay? I need someone to talk to, then you're like that?" Because of the accusatory tone in her voice, Hazel fell silent. She took another deep breath before telling the story. "It's strange.""What's strange, Laine?""I've d

Gideon lifted her and climbed to the lower part of the cliff where Gina was staying as the sun rose in the east. Jewel looked around but couldn't find Francisko. She took a deep breath and paused for a few moments before opening her mouth to inquire. "What happened to Francisko?""He got lost in the river. I'll send someone to look for him when the sun comes up. Can you stand?"She blinked and turned her gaze to the dark river, but there was no movement there. When she thought about what happened to Francisko, sadness crept into her chest."Jewel," Gideon said once more."Y-yes, I believe so."Gideon eased her down. As the chill traveled down her spine, she felt the dry and cold ground on her feet.She realized she had no shoes at that point. The man had taken her boots off earlier, and she didn't have the strength to stop him at the time.Her heart was still pounding loudly in her chest, and she could still feel a slight tremble. The terror she felt had had such an impact on her that

Gideon's voice was lovely. It was cold and deep. He may have been a vocalist in a band when he was younger, or he may have competed in various singing competitions. Regardless, she liked his voice.Jewel bit her lower lip to keep her mouth from speculating. But as the song progressed, she was tempted to ask questions until she couldn't anymore.She cut him off mid-song. "Wait, Gideon?""Mmm?""What exactly are you singing?"Gideon raised his head and sang the song's bridge to her. Her face was twisted. "What is the title?" she inquired impatiently.Gideon shook his head and smiled. "Leave me astounded.""And by whom?""Planetshakers.""Who is that?"Gideon shook his head. She scowled. When Gideon saw her contorted face, he laughed and patted her leg. "Move your foot across," he said.Despite her confusion, she immediately obeyed. Gideon dashed to the other side.Gideon suddenly grabbed Jewel's waist and yanked her off the horse. She was startled by the sudden movement. Gideon laughed

They were standing outside the Mansion, unable to enter because her father was waiting. Her father's face was ashen when he saw her, wet like a chick without a hen, but Gideon caught Don Sebastian's rage for her."Don Sebastian, I'm the one apologizing for Jewel."Jewel braced herself for her father's rage. She was taken aback when Don Sebastian smiled at Gideon. She was astounded.'How unfair! He just smiled at Gideon. I couldn't recall the last time he smiled at me! ' Jewel sighed and huffed angrily."What did my unica hija do again, and she's like a petty chick who got lost here in the mansion?" asked Don Sebastian. He turned to face her.He narrowed both eyes on her as he turned to face her. It caused her eyes to blur.Jewel lowered her gaze and crossed her arms across her chest. She let Gideon reason for her. He had already defended her at the outset, so she simply waited for the two men to reach an agreement and let her go. She was still shivering in the cold, and she bit her li

She left and returned to her room. Her hands took the books one at a time. She then placed each of them on the empty bookshelves until she reached the last one. She then placed the box in the corner alongside the books that had been inspected for damage.Her lips formed a wide smile. Her hand reached for the book she was reading. She went to bed and continued reading there.His smile is devilish, almost demonic."It's time," he exclaimed.He stood up and —-Jewel yawned and set the book aside, feeling sleepy all of a sudden. She tried to rub her eyes to keep her consciousness from slipping away, but that didn't stop the weight of her eyelids.Even before she closed her eyes, she noticed someone at the foot of her bed.She awoke later, out of breath. She sat up quickly and panted heavily. Her fist tightened as she remembered that strange dream. She then heard a ring. The constant ringing of her phone jolted her awake.She reached for it and answered the phone without looking to see who

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

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
