One Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 17: Deal
"Watch out, Kiel!" sigaw ni Lauren nang muntik na nilang mahagip ang sasakyang nasa kanilang unahan nang mag-overtake dito si Kiel.Hindi umimik si Kiel, lalo lang binilisan ang pagpapatakbo.Kiel was driving like a madman for a while now. And she still doesn't know why except for the fact that they need to be at his house before his mother does. Kaya naman naroon lang siya sa passengers seat, tensiyonado habang nagdarasal that the car would reach his house in one piece.Tumunog ang cellphone nito. He cussed and quickly reached for his earpiece, answering the call with so much urgency."Josh. Oo, malapit na kami. I don't know 15 minutes, tops. What? Then fcking stall! You owe me, Josh! I have saved your damn ass a dozen times from Mom too! Dammit!" ani Kiel, marahas na kinalas ang earpiece nito, lumiko sa isang intersection. "We're taking a shortcut. Hold on tight," dugtong pa nito. Alanganin siyang tumango. She closed her eyes and did as she was told. She cannot watch him drive fas

"Right. I want answers by the end of the day," ani Aaron bago tuluyang tinapos ang tawag. Kiel's eldest brother faced them, releasing a slow breath."What are our options?" it was Madam Liza. The old woman was sitting on the sofa beside her inside the library. They were having a 'family meeting' there about yet another 'scandalous' article written about her and Kiel. Aaron huffed. "Our legal team is now on the move. Our options, legally, we can chase each and every news firm which caught up the news about Kiel and Lauren's apparent "falling out" just days after they got married. It's tidious but possible. Or we can just ignoe the rumors and just on with our lives.""No! That's preposterous, Aaron Miguel! You're a lawyer yourself. You should stand up for people facing injustice. Moreso if it is your brother and sister-in-law!" tutol agad ni Madam Liza, bumaling sa kanya. "We will get to the bottom of this, Lauren. I won't stop until that anonymous writer who has written false reports

"Thank you," ani Lauren nang iabot nito sa kanya ang goblet ng wine. Sandaling namayani ang katahimikan bago, "I'm sorry for being an ass too. I shouldn't have put all the blame on you. I'm just..." He just huffed and took a swig of his beer. "Mom took over Ace Logistics. She said it will remain that way until she had not seen me try for this marriage to work."Napakurap siya. No wonder he's always on edge."I'm so sorry, Kiel. I dragged you into this mess--""No. It's not your fault I-I'm a little... lost."Lost. The way he said the word tugged something inside her heart. Was it pity? Compassion? Or something else?She wanted to tell him that she felt lost too. Even before the scandal broke, she felt uncertain about her future. But she chose to remain silent. She had learned from their previous interactions that they are not good in talking. So in order for that conversation to work, they must take turns talking and listening. "I need your help to get back my full control over my c

"Cut!" sigaw ni Direk Noel, ang direktor sa teleserye ni Lauren. Kasunod niyon ang palakpakan mula sa crew ng teleserye. Agad na nagpunas ng luha si Lauren, nginitian ang mga katrabaho, bago hinanap agad sa kumpol ng mga tao si Micha. Ito na ang kusang lumapit sa kanya at binigyan siya ng tissue."That was a great take, Lauren. I'll surely miss working with you," ani James Santander, ang bidang lalaki sa teleserye, na siyang huli niyang kaeksena. Today is her last taping day. "Hindi na ba talaga magbabago ang isip mo? You know we can always make adjustments sa script."Pilit siyang ngumiti."Thank you, James. I will miss working with you and the rest of the team too but I've already made up my mind. It's better to leave when everything is still fine," propesyunal niyang sagot."I understand," anang lalaki, kaswal pa siyang niyakap. Gumanti rin siya ng yakap. "Goodluck, Lauren," sabi pa nito, humalik sa kanyang pisngi.Halos isang taon rin niyang nakatrabaho ito at iba pang mga taong n

"Alright, just brief Xavier on the protocols I told you about looking over Lauren," ani Kiel kay Garrett na kausap niya sa cellphone. The bodyguard has just informed him that tomorrow is the start of his week-long break from being his wife's security detail kaya naman ang kasamahan na nitong si Xavier ang magbabantay kay Lauren."Tell Xavier to call me once he arrives at my wife's house. That's all. Thanks!" sabi pa niya bago tinapos ang tawag."Missing Lauren?" nakangising tanong ni Joshua sa kanya. His brother was sitting across the round big roundtable where they were meeting a potential client for SSL. Silang dalawa ng kapatid ang inutusan ng ina na humarap sa series of client meetings ng kanilang mother company doon sa US. And that's what they were doing for the past two weeks."Sinisiguro ko lang na walang magiging aberya kay Lauren habang wala ako sa Pilipinas," paliwanag niya, isinuksok ang cellphone sa kanyang bulsa.Joshua just chuckled. "Oh c'mon, brother, you know you can

"Grabe ha, may kinuha lang ako, kinuyog ka na ng mga reporters. Iba din! Ano ba 'yang mga 'yan, naghahabol ng quota? Nakakaloka!" reklamo ni Micha, panay ang lakad sa cabin na nirerentahan ni Kristine at ng mga co-artist nito under the management of Mrs. Cabral.Doon siya pansamantalang itinago ni Kristine nang hilahin siya nito palayo sa mga reporters kanina. Until now, she still doesn't understand why those bunch of reporters are there. She'd understand kung paisa-isa lang. But there were at least 5 or 6 reporters in the area all from different tabloids when not even NTS' own reporters are there to cover the shooting. Something's really not adding up.She huffed, still confused. She watched as Micha looked over the window. Nasa labas pa ng cabin ang mga reporters but Xavier was standing there now, guarding the place.Maya-maya pa, lumapit si Kristine sa kanya at inabutan siya ng bottled water."Uminom ka muna. Your cheeks are flushed," anito.She just smiled at the woman, nodded her

"I have learned from Xavier's quick investigation that a crew from your teleserye deliberately sent your assistant an earlier call time for the station ID shooting, Lauren. It was all Jerome's scheme. I really don't know what he and his mother were up to anymore," naiiling na sabi ni Madam Liza, maingat na pinulot ang tasa na nasa harap nito at sumimsim ng tsaa.She was at the Sandejas mansion in Tagaytay. Pinapunta siya ng biyenan doon nang malaman ang tungkol sa nangyaring aberya sa huling trabaho niya sa NTS."You don't have to worry about it too much, Mom," aniya. She can see that the woman was still on edge because of what happened. "Mabuti na lang talaga at naroon din si Kristine," bumaling ito sa babae na nadatnan na niya roon nang dumating siya. "I know you and Aaron didn't work out but I'm so grateful to you for saving Lauren from those... those money-faced reporters!" anito, gigil pa rin.Kristine smiled. "It's nothing big, Tita. Far from the popular belief, in our industry

Lauren's hands were trembling as she typed in the passcode to her house's door. Hindi niya kasi alam kung paano siya sasalubungin ng kanyang tiyahin. Noong huling punta nito sa bahay niya, sinalubong siya nito ng sampal at bugbog. She doesn't want that to happen. Not when she has a contract signing event tomorrow. A day-old bruise would be too hard to cover even with make-up.Marahan niyang tinulak pabukas ang pinto. Her house was silent subalit nagkalat ang ilang laman ng ref sa may kitchen island. Bukas din ang TV sa may sala kahit walang nanonood. Maya-maya pa, nakarinig siya ng yabag sa second floor. Not a second more, her aunt came to her view, holding two big travelling bags containing only-god-knows of her things."Oh you're finally here!" anang tiyahin, nakangiti, mabilis na bumaba sa hagdan. Tumigil ito sa mismong harapan niya bago ibinagsak sa sahig ang bitbit nitong travelling bags na kanya ring pag-aari.There she saw her luxury bags, which were mostly given by fans, and h

One Night With Mr. CEO Epilogue
Buhat-buhat ni Lauren ang isang taong gulang na niyang anak na si Amara habang pinipindot ang top floor button sa elevator. “Dad,” sabi pa ng kanyang anak bago yumakap sa kanya. It has been three days now since Kiel has been coming home late. Paano ba naman kasi, inaasikaso nito ang muling pagba-branch out ng Ace Logistics sa Indonesia at Singapore. The move was brought by the huge success Ace Logistics had in Malaysia. Wala sa kanilang pamilya ang nag-expect na papatok nang ganoon ang services ng Ace Logistics sa ibang bansa in just a year at that! Kaya naman napagdesisyonan nilang dalawa na mag-branch out na sa iba pang bansa sa Southeast Asia to cater the needs of their clients. But there is a downside, Kiel needs to work for more hours para asikasuhin ang negosyo nito. At nito ngang nakaraang mga araw, halos hindi na nagpapang-abot ang mag-ama dahil maagang umaalis si Kiel sa umaga at late na rin na dumarating sa gabi. Even their baby can sense his absence. Madalas nitong hanap

Panay ang patak ng luha ni Lauren habang dinadala siya ng nurse sa loob ng delivery room. She wanted Kiel to be there with her, see for himself the birth of their daughter. Kaya lang…“It’s okay, Lauren. I know you can do this. Mukhang excited talagang lumabas ang baby ninyo ni Kiel dahil alam niyang excited na rin kayong makita siya. Sometimes, babies do that, you know," sabi ni Doc Angel habang nagsusuot ito ng gloves. Inalalayan na siya ng nurse at pinahiga sa delivery bed. She can't help but tremble when the nurse helped her to put her feet on the stirrup. Impit siyang dumaing at lumuha. Ngayon siya nagsisisi kung bakit pumayag-payag pa siya na umalis si Kiel noong isang araw. Subalit alam niya, kailangang kailangan ang presensiya ni Kiel sa Malaysia kaya siya mismo ang pumilit dito na pumunta.They had a birth plan. It’s been finalized for months. Part of the birth plan was Kiel would be with her as she push their baby out into the world. But that most important thing is missin
One Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 84: Bliss 2
Maingat na inilapag ni Lauren ang pink stuffed toy sa crib na inihahanda niya para sa magiging baby nila ni Kiel. She’s 38 weeks pregnant and she had been nesting for weeks now. Kahapon lang inihanda na niya ang go-to bag niya kung sakaling mag-labor siya anumang oras. Marahan niyang hinaplos ang kanyang tiyan nang maramdaman niya ang muling paggalaw ng anak. “Easy, sweetheart. I know you’re excited. Excited na rin sina Daddy at Mommy na makita ka,” aniya, bahagya pang ngumiwi nang mapalakas ang sipa ng baby niya. She took a deep breath. Lately, hirap na siyang matulog sa gabi dahil doon mas nagiging aktibo sa paggalaw ang baby niya. Maging pagtayo at pagbangon hirap na rin siya. But she’s just fine with it. She’s enduring and enjoying the process. She knew it would all be worth it. She knew that dahil madalas niyang nakikita ang saya kay Ana. During Sundays, when they’d have their regular family lunch in Tagaytay, madalas niyang makita na nagbo-boding ang mag-ina sa pool o kaya sa
One Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 83: Bliss
Marahang hinaplos ni Lauren ang kanyang tiyan. At 23 weeks, talaga namang maumbok na iyon. Panay na rin ang galaw ng baby niya, which she finds weird and happy at the same time.Nag-angat siya ng tingin at tinanaw ang baybayin sa ibaba ng glass house. Abala na ang mga tauhan ng events company na kinuha nila ni Kiel para sa baby gender reveal nila na gaganapin mamaya. Sa totoo lang, she doesn’t want to share that special moment to the public anymore. Kaya lang, kinumbinsi siya talaga ni Mrs. Cabral na gawin iyon dahil na rin daw nami-miss na siya ng kanyang mga fans at iba pang katrabaho.Mula kasi nang malaman niyang buntis siya, she preffered to step away from the limelight. Kahit noong hind pa sila maayos ni Kiel, she really planned to spend the rest of her pregnancy in some peaceful place na malayo sa nakasanayan niya. She really valued her privacy during those times.But she also know that she owe a glimpse of her current life to her loyal fans. Kaya naman pumayag na rin siya sa g

Mystery Enemy POVMarahan siyang sumimsim ng alak mula sa champagne flute na kanyang hawak bago ipinaikot ang kanyang tingin sa kasayahan ng pamilya Sandejas na nakapaligid sa kanya. From that little dark corner of the lanai where he stood, he can clearly see the happy faces of everyone invited to the party. Everyone’s happy except for him—burning with rage for the family that has ruined his life.He would’ve ditched Kiel’s wedding and just spend the night drinking in the comfort of his home. If only he hadn’t thought that attending the wedding is a social responsibility for him now that he is closer than ever to the family. Of course, he must play the part well now. He has to. He needs to.He took a deep breath as he took another swig of the alcohol he was having. Pinaglipat-lipat niya ang tingin sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya Sandejas na naroon, mula ay Liza, sa mga anak nito, sa manugang nito, at sa apo nito.Death. That’s all he wishes for all of them, their death.“What are you doi
One Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 81: Forever and Always
Lauren was smiling as she looked at herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing an elegant and flowy wedding dress. Her hair was curled on the ends and her make-up was simple, just like how she liked it.She's getting married today... again. She smiled at the thought. It has been two weeks now since Kiel made that heartfelt proposal to her by the beach. From then on, hindi na ito pumasok sa Ace Logistics. Well except for the launching of his company in Malaysia a week ago. But that was only a one day affair. He went and came home the same day. Ito kasi ang nag-ayos sa lahat sa kasal nila, except for her gown which she had customised sa isang sikat na local designer na paborito niya. Ang madalas nitong sabihin sa kanya tuwing tinatangka niyang tumulong dito, she only need to be there beside him on the day of their wedding and say yes. Honestly, she still cannot believe that she's marrying Kiel today for the second time. The first time was not even supposed to happen if they were n

"Here you go, as promised, six new investors for NTS Films," nakangising sabi ni Tyler kay Lauren bago iniabot sa kanya ang isang folder.Nang buksan niya, naroon ang profiles ng mga bagong investors na nakausap nito para sa bagong venture ng kanyang kumpanya, ang NTS Films.Pinigilan ni Lauren ang mapangiti. Tyler really is efficient when it comes to business. Well, he is a a Sy, that's a given. But she really is glad that someone like Tyler is now working with her at NTS.Maingat niyang tiniklop ang folder at ipinatong iyon sa coffee table na nakapagitan sa kanilang dalawa. Nasa lanai sila ng bahay nila ni Kiel, binisita siya nito matapos ang tatlong linggong paglalagi nito sa Palawan for a 'spontaneous business trip'. Well whatever that spontaneous business trip is for, she only knows one thing, something has changed with Tyler mula nang manggaling ito sa Palawan. Well, maliban sa malaya na itong nakakabisita sa kanya at nakikihalubilo sa mga Sandejas dahil maayos na ito at si Ki
One Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 79: Choosing Happiness
Humugot ng malalim na hininga si Lauren nang tuluyang huminto sa private hangar ang private jet ng Star Airlines. She’s officially back in Manila with Kiel. “We will be fine. I promise, walang makakagalaw sa atin dito. I will make sure of that,” ani Kiel, bahagya pang pinisil ang kamay niyang hawak nito. It has been days since the incident in her house. Kinausap siya mismo ni Eric na mas makakabuti kung sasama siya pabalik kay Kiel pa-Maynila sa oras na mai-discharge na ito sa ospital. She wanted to argue at first. She had been living the best life in San Ildefonso for some time now. But she knew, she needed to make the hard choices not just herself but also for the sake of Kiel and her baby. Besides, her family’s old house was in ruins. It will take some time to repair it and to make it livable again. Kiel promised to hire the best engineer and architect to restore her old home. She believed that. Kiel was discharged from the hospital early that morning. They didn’t waste any time
One Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 78: Saved 2
Nagising si Lauren dahil sa masuyong paghaplos sa kanyang pisngi. Nang magmulat siya ng mga mata, bumungad sa kanya ang maliwanag na silid na kanyang kinaroonan. Her vision needed a few seconds to adjust until she can finally figure out where she was. White walls, smell of antiseptic, and a soft beeping sound. Hospital. She’s at the hospital. She gasped as memories of last night surfaced inside her head all at a fast pace. Agad siyang napabalikwas. That’s when she realized na nakayupyop siyang nakatulog sa tabi ng mismong hospital bed ni Kiel! ‘K-Kiel,” she whispered as she looked at him, still looking a bit pale but with a small smile on his face. Last night, when the doctors allowed her to go and see him in the recovery room, nakatulog na ito. The nurse told her that the medication they had given him had taken effect and that it’s best for her to just wait for him to wake up after a few hours. Kaya naman naghintay siya. Hindi siya umalis sa tabi nito kahit na anong pilit nina A
