Chapter 18AlexisI wake up to the noise of my surroundings. Voices were arguing and shouting. I immediately get up, but stop when my head starts hurting. "Besh, don't get up. Lie back down." It is Debbie!"Why are you here?" I asked curiously. She laughs at me. "Why wouldn't I? I've been taking care of you for two days now! Lara and I have been switching shifts." She replied with a chuckle. I looked around and realize we weren't in the parking lot anymore! And I had been unconscious for two days? "Two days? Where are Zac and Grandpa?" I asked anxiously. "Oh, they're outside and Grandpa is making a ruckus. He is guarding the door closely and doesn't let Rond get in, haha. But Rond keeps trying to come back." Debbie explained with a laugh.Bebe?"Let him in, Debbie. Where are the goons? Are they all dead?" I asked. Debbie's face suddenly turned blank, and she looked puzzled. "Goons? Dead? I don't understand, besh. OMG, do you even recognize me?" Her eyes widened in a dramati
Chapter 19AlexisAfter I was discharged from the hospital, none of them mentioned the goons and the incident again. Mommy stopped arguing with Grandpa and went back to being gentle and soft-spoken. Grandpa continued to be sweet and caring towards me, ignoring Mommy's behavior. And Daddy is the worst - he went back to being a tiger, guarding Bebe 24/7. Rond couldn't even get close to me. Zac, on the other hand, remained the same - cold but friendly. He had become like a best friend to me, always there whenever I needed something or someone to talk to. We are back in the mansion, with Mommy and Daddy still here. Rond and I only communicated through text or chat, and sometimes we'd have video calls when there were no bodyguards around.And today's the day I'll be trending as Alexis Jenn Buenavista Walker. We have a TV interview, can you believe it? My face will be all over the Philippines and the world! We're nominated as the Best Power Couple of the Year. Wow, just wow! And
Chapter 20AlexisWe are already inside the car, but Zac is still unresponsive. What happened? I couldn't see his face. So I removed his mask. He is still unresponsive!"Zac, are you okay?" I waved my hand in front of his face, but there was no reaction. Zac is still unresponsive! I'm getting worried now."Why is Zac like this? Should we take him to the hospital?" I asked the driver worriedly.The Driver let out a deep sigh, and his facial expression suddenly turned gloomy."Let's just leave him alone for now, Ma'am. He'll return to normal. His phobia of camera lights was just triggered." He replied gloomily.A phobia of camera lights? Is that even a thing? Zac seems to have a lot of health issues. He appears to be a man of power and wealth like he has everything. But it turns out he's sickly!No, stop joking. Let's be serious, brain shut up!"Isn't there any medicine for Zac? Something we can give him to drink or... what should we do?" I asked frantically, feeling like I mig
Chapter 1 AlexisPartying all night and drinking with my friends together with my ever-loving boyfriend; this is how life is. And hell! I'm enjoying it. But never did I think that my life would change in just one blink of an eye!"It's final," my dad said firmly. "You will marry Zac Rogen Walker."Like seriously?" I shot back. "Dad, are you insane? I'm not marrying him! I don't even know that old billionaire."I said with disdain in my voice.That's disgusting! I can only imagine what he looks like - probably some old, balding guy with wrinkles all over his face. No way! I'm not going to marry him. He must be kidding if he thinks I'd even consider it."Watch your tone! Zac is only 38 years old. He's younger than me," my dad snapped, his face reddening with anger.Well, that's his problem! "I said no! I already have Rond, who's younger and more handsome. Why would I marry him?'" I exclaimed, throwing a tantrum like the spoiled brat that I am.I make my parents worried. But that's
Chapter 2AlexisDamn, old pervert! What's his purpose, and why is he interfering with my nightlife too? There are countless bodyguards scattered all over the mansion. I can't even swim in the pool. Damn him!"Alexis, dinner is ready. Your mom says to come down now," said Yaya Loring.How can you even eat there with bodyguards watching your every move? What can I do? It's been three days since I've had a nightlife. I miss the noise, the music, and of course, the drinks with my bebe, Rond. He's been texting me nonstop, and he's available tonight. I still haven't told him about my arranged marriage. Let me think of a way.Hmmm...Then, ting! An idea popped into my mind. I slowly made my way downstairs to the kitchen, pretending to get a drink of water. My target? Jasmine, Yaya Loring's daughter.I quickly pulled her into the restroom. She was startled, but I signaled her to be quiet. Fortunately, she understood. And inside the restroom, a mysterious transaction took place!
Chapter 3 Alexis And this is it! My Engagement Party. You better watch out ugly old man!Just a hollow threat.But I am wondering if I will see Zac.Of course, girl. It's your engagement party and he is your fiance!He will surely come.Shut up brain!Hmmm, He should be ready.How dare he insult my beautiful body?Now it's time for my revenge!Suddenly, someone shouted behind me. "You look beautiful, Alexis!" It was Debbie's voice. That loudmouthed girl. I almost fainted! Why does she have to shout so loudly?"You're crazy! I was startled. But I prepared for this, girl. Let's see if Zac Rogen Walker's eyes won't pop out because of my beauty. And I'm sure he will be drooling! Am I sexy?" I asked Debbie with a smile.And she gives me two thumbs up!"The best! More than perfect, girl. I'm sure it's not just Zac's eyes that will pop out, but also his mouth and down below, hehe," Debbie replied teasingly."Those are bad words, Girl! Wait, do you already have a boyfriend? And it seems
Chapter 4 AlexisI'm not happy with this wedding. It's such a hassle. The engagement party just ended, and now there's a bridal shower? Crazy! I'm supposed to be as excited and happy as the bride, but I'm bitter! And now, we're on our way to the Paradise Hotel which is owned by Zac.Where our Bridal shower and Stag party take place.And trailing behind our car are numerous bodyguards. No escape for me! Plus, Daddy even drove me here himself.At the HotelWow, the Paradise Hotel is amazingly huge and beautiful!This ugly old man is wealthy. My bridal shower will be held in one of the grand ballrooms here. As I entered, my friends surprised me, and our group was complete now because Joanna and Lara were already here.Our two crazy loudmouthed friends! "Girl, you're getting married and you didn't even tell us. We had to see it on the news!" Joanna said, hugging me. "Yeah, you looked beautiful at the engagement party!" Lara added. This one's as loud as Debbie! "I've always been be
Chapter 5 AlexisThe contract between the two of us has already been signed. So, I want to celebrate. But not now, don't get too excited. I'm stunning in my sexy, beautiful gown! And everyone's waiting for my husband-to-be. I wonder where that ugly man is now. He's always late and so full of himself. And speaking of the devil, here comes the ugly man...He is coming towards us. And take note, he's still wearing that mask! I don't care, as long as I get my freedom, even if he never takes off that mask forever, I couldn't care less. Our photoshoot has started, and my jaw is already aching from smiling so much.That's because you're so plastic, girl! Stop it, brain! This ugly man, can't stop staring at my beautiful and sexy body, ah. Even with his mask on, we look like a couple deeply in love in the pictures. Just as the photoshoot was about to finish, Bebe Rond suddenly arrived!"Talk to him in private, not here. Go somewhere else," Zac whispered softly to me. But at least he

Chapter 17AlexisWe quietly arrived at the mansion. I felt like I was turned between two massive mountains that could collapse at any moment. Suddenly, I didn't want to grow old. But it couldn't be avoided, since I'm already 24 years old. Adulting is scary!I hope everything works out between Mommy and Grandpa. Mommy seems upset, and I have no idea where this anger is coming from.As we entered the mansion, Zac was waiting for us. "Mr. Zac Rogen Walker! Long time no see," Grandpa exclaimed, his voice booming through the hallway. I was taken aback!Grandpa quickly approached Zac and even kissed him on the cheek. Zac smiled and welcomed him. "Welcome, Mr. Night."Mr. Night? That's not Mommy's surname. She was a Buencamino before she married Daddy. What's going on? Do they have secrets?I excused myself to rest in my room. My mind was exhausted from all the revenge that I'd planned and the shocking discovery about Grandpa."Little princess..." Grandpa called out to me, and I s
Chapter 16AlexisI need to get out, no matter what! Let's try to charm Zac, haha. He's eating. "Hi Zac, want an apple?" I ask cutely. But he ignores me! "Sorry, please," I say with a pout. But he's still unresponsive!How do I cheer him up? "Want a banana?" I ask, quickly grabbing one. "Stop it, Alexis. Just tell me what you want," Zac says without looking at me. This guy is so snobbish! But I'll be patient; after all, patience is a virtue.I'll be honest. "Aren't you heading to the office after lunch? Can I hitch a ride? Debbie and I just want to go shopping." I ask sweetly, batting my eyelashes. "Tell me the truth, and maybe I'll let you," he says with a smile. "Okay, I have a surprise revenge planned for Joanna," I say quietly, careful not to be overheard by Daddy's bodyguards. They're so annoying, even stricter than Zac's bodyguards!"You're joking?" Zac asks, still smiling. "Do I look like I'm joking? I'm serious! Let's make her pay for what she did to you." I say s
Chapter 15AlexisHelp me, huhuhu... It seems like I always land on Zac's lap! And Zac's eyes are filled with desire? This is the first time I've seen him like this!"Zac, calm down, okay? Let me get up first," I slowly got up from his lap. But when you're having bad luck, it just keeps going. I tripped again, and this time, I landed on top of him. Oh my!What a joke of Destiny. How can Zac calm down now? And OMG! What's this? There's something hard pressing against my stomach? Don't tell me... I quickly got up to see what the hard thing was!"Ahhh!" I shouted and ran to the side. "Hey! Zac, you're so mean! Stop that. I don't want to get pregnant yet. You said that it's not the right time, remember?" I covered my eyes.But, girls, there's a small hole in my hand, hehe. I can still see him!Zac just smiled and laughed. "You're always funny. Can you help me get up?" he asked.And where is this guy going? "Why? Don't tell me you're going out. Looking like that?" I asked with
Chapter 14AlexisI was shocked when Bebe suddenly pulled me. He didn't tell me that he was coming. "Bebe, where are we going?" I asked.k"To the restaurant that I booked," he replied nonchalantly.I stayed quiet, remembering that he invited me because he had a surprise gift. I didn't know Zac had a surprise too, and I couldn't leave the mansion. Daddy locked me in my room.Poor Bebe. The restaurant is quite far away, located in a hotel. But I must say, it's beautiful.Debbie just texted me that she and Lara are heading home! Oh no, my strict Daddy must be looking for me now. Rond got my phone!"Bebe, why?" I asked, furrowing my brow."That's enough. I want you to be mine today. Just leave it all behind!" Bebe said, still angry. "Sorry, I couldn't leave because Daddy wouldn't let me," I said sweetly, caressing his arms. We're so sweet together!Oh my, Bebe's surprise is amazing! The tables are arranged with red roses. I'm overwhelmed by all these roses!Wait, how about Zac? Is he
Chapter 13DebbieAlexis looked stunningly beautiful in her emerald-long gown. My best friend is gorgeous. Zac is one lucky guy. However, Alexis's heart beats only for Rond, and Zac's heart seems to belong to someone else - it's a mystery. Zac is enigmatic, and his actions are hard to read, but I'm sure he's not interested in Alexis. If that's the case, what's the point of their wedding? As of now, Alexis hasn't told me about the real status between her and Zac.They looked lovely dancing together like they were deeply in love. And then Zac surprised us with his face reveal - our jaws dropped! The three of us were stunned by his handsome looks. I have to admit, I was drooling. It's embarrassing, but it happened. And those gray eyes added to his charisma! It's like you're drawn to him when he looks at you. But of course, we can only admire it from afar. I have a boyfriend, by the way - but it's a secret.In fairness, Zac was thoughtful to surprise Alexis, especially on Valentine
Chapter 12AlexisI'm so bored! I'm not allowed to go out. They're guarding me 24/7, and Dad increased the number of bodyguards inside and outside. He's unbelievable! To make things worse, Rond texted me that we would have a date today. I'm so frustrated! Zac can't do anything, he can't go against my tiger dad.It's Valentine's Day, and I was excited to go on a date with my love, Rond. I'm also super excited to see what surprise gift he has for me. I texted him that I might not be able to make it, but he hasn't replied. Where could Rond be? I'm feeling sad now. What kind of life is this?Someone knocked on the door. I'm too lazy to get up and open it. I don't feel like standing up."Girl, are you deaf?" Debbie shouted while knocking. "Open up, Alexis, and let's catch up! Tell us about your honeymoon," Lara arrived, followed by another knock. "Girl, we're dying out here!" Joanna exclaimed dramatically.Wow, the trio is complete! What's going on, and why did they suddenly show up?
