Alice and I were on our way home now. We were picked up by Christian, who was curious why we ended up here. I told him that the girl I'm with was my invented excuse. Maybe it's because I won't be able to face anyone if they find out that I'm Logan's slave. Just imagine how shameful it is on my part!

"It's good that we're going home now. This whole situation is tiring. I didn't even get to help you because our paths separated. Why did I let myself get dragged into the kitchen? But to be fair, there was so much gossip there! I also picked up a lot," she said to me while we were inside the car. I don't think Christian could hear us.

I winced. "Maybe you should just accompany me next time? You'll just get tired there. Your purpose is to help me, but on the other hand, they gave you other tasks. We're at a disadvantage, right?" I said.

"It's fine with me, and I'm part of this domino effect."

Woah? Domino?

"We're here now, Krystal, and Alice," said Christian.

We thanked him. I also gave him

    -Logan’s POV-I remembered back then when I was younger, I was taught about how businessmen work. I was born to lead the biggest company and the wealthiest clan in Clayland. I am the eldest of my five siblings. I could still remember a time when I found myself isolated from my brothers and my one and only sister.Our parents and other relatives were strict with me. Perhaps it was because I carried the weight of inheriting numerous businesses and properties. That was the reason why I am cold and aloof at times.I couldn’t show my weakness. I couldn’t show any unnecessary emotions, or else it would be the doom of me and my clan.I decided to swim in the waterfall, which was part of our private land. It's rare for me to go swimming there nowadays. I am really busy, but today seems like a good day to relax.But who would have thought that I would hear noise coming from the waterfall other than the sound of water cascading? I felt mad for a second, as someone trespassed on our private land

    I was first dropped off at my friend's house, and then I safely made it home. It's heartwarming to see that the boys value the safety of us girls, and they are earning my respect from time to time.It was around 10 in the evening, and I still couldn't sleep as soundly and safely as I wished. I decided to scroll through my feed. I installed my Instagram and Facebook applications, which I immediately regretted.There were so many negative posts on my wall and tags. They were saying things about my father and making baseless accusations, insulting us because they claimed we have fallen and are no longer wealthy.And you know what hurts the most, what hits the hardest out of everything?It's the fact that even our friends and relatives turned their backs on us because we were no longer as rich as we used to be. We were no longer the ones they could use for money and power.So I wished that we could go back to our old life. That time, if we were given another chance, we would know who is w

    MONDAY, another not-so-pleasant day.Aside from the soreness in my body from the work I did yesterday, in short, being a servant to that man, here we go again, it's back to school. I actually want to skip a day of my class now because why not? I worked overtime yesterday, and I do not deserve that.Even though I don't want to get up yet, Alice forced me. She worked harder than me yesterday, and yet, here she is, stronger than me, not tired, and more energetic than me. I don't know what her secret is. Sometimes or most of the time, she overworks, but she's really on another level."Let's go,” she said to me. "Hurry up, or we might be late. You know Miss Davenport, she grows horns during flag ceremony time," she said, as if she was in such a rush.I rolled my eyes heavenward as I heard her reasoning. "Reasons, if I knew, you actually just want to see Andrew early," I retorted."Issue! No way! Besides, he's always late, I know his schedule better than he does," she said confidently.She'

    "I am dead serious right now. I have something incredibly important to share. Please let me finish before reacting, okay?" I reminded her, emphasizing the urgency of my words.There's a saying that kind-hearted people find it difficult to get angry, and in this case, it rings true for me."What is it now? Is it something serious? Am I sick?" This woman's thought process is truly baffling, I thought to myself, trying to understand her reaction.We found a bench nearby, allowing us to take a momentary pause. It was important for me to tell her the truth; she deserved to know. As I mentioned before, transparency is one of the cornerstones of our friendship. The more honest I am, the more people can trust me."Just say it already. You're dragging this out for too long!" she exclaimed impatiently.I took a deep breath to steady myself. "Okay, I want to be completely honest with you. I think you deserve to know this. Andrew has been showing interest in me," I confessed, my voice sincere."H

    It's truly shameful to admit, but for the past two months, I've been enslaved by Logan. The idea of submitting to any man was something I never imagined. I believe strongly in women's empowerment and always thought that no man could bring me down. My dad and brother treat me like a princess, so I never anticipated experiencing such hell at the hands of Logan.He consistently insults my very existence. I find myself praying that Saturdays and Sundays never come. Who in their right mind would willingly become someone's slave? Damn, that vase! Why did I have to read it? I wish I didn't have any problems right now. Today, I couldn't accompany Alice. She needed to help her parents, who were attending an important event in another town. As for me, I had nothing to do. I wanted to find an excuse not to go to the hacienda. But to my surprise, Logan still showed up and personally fetched me from our house. I could feel my face reddening in embarrassment in front of my mom. It felt as if I wer

    I decided to hold off on dinner for now and enjoy the snacks that Alice had brought later. Wanting to confide in someone I could trust, I decided to share what happened earlier in the day with Alice.We sat in my room, watching documentaries on my laptop while savoring the delicious snacks. The taste was simple yet infused with a delightful hint of smokiness, sweetness, and saltiness that I absolutely loved."What do you have to tell me? You know I love good gossip," she said with excitement."Well, earlier this morning, I was at the market when I sensed someone following me. And I was right, three guys cornered me in a deserted alley. I was almost sexually assaulted," I said, lowering my voice.Alice's eyes widened in shock. "Where are those guys now? I'll chop their heads off! Are you okay? Did something bad happen to you? We need to report this to the police! We should tell Auntie!" she panicked, her concern evident."Alice, please calm down. Mom shouldn't know about this; it would

    I hurriedly made my way to the back of the mansion, trying to catch my breath and process what just happened. Did Jude really flirt with me? I couldn't believe it. It was a mix of feeling slightly offended and flattered. It's not something that happens every day.I've had experiences being courted by models and even some actors. I still remember that one day when a famous male actor approached me, asking me to be his girlfriend right then and there. But of course, he had a history of celebrity girlfriends. I refuse to be anyone's second choice. I know my worth, and I have my own standards.As for Jude, he's undeniably handsome, but I made a promise to myself that I won't get involved with another Lopez. The two Lopezs I've encountered have already caused enough stress in my life, so why would I willingly add to it?Collecting myself, I focused on the task at hand. I didn't expect to come across another Lopez today. My curiosity had already been satisfied, and I didn't feel the need to

    It's another school day, which means I'll be spending the entire eight hours alone with my unreliable classmates. I can already sense the nasty looks they're giving me today, especially Maribeth's group. Their judgmental eyes are fixated on me.I know very well that they harbor evil thoughts in their minds, as usual. Their behavior won't change; they'll remain exactly the way they are. They should be grateful that I refuse to stoop down to their level.I started my day by taking a few notes, patiently waiting for the break. Andrew, on the other hand, stayed in his seat, silent as ever. I have no idea what's going on in his mind, but one thing is clear – we're not okay.He used to be the type of person who would talk to me often, but it's been two months since he even acknowledged my existence. I don't bother anymore. What's the point?If someone doesn't want me around, I won't force myself. I'm done with that kind of thing.After three consecutive subjects, most of our classmates left

    “You look uneasy, why?”“Because you are staring,” I replied in a barely audible voice. I didn’t know if he heard me or what, but I didn’t give a damn. The man has disturbed my peace of mind since his arrival."You didn't seem to mind your appearance before; why do you appear uneasy now?"Jordan became aware of my discomfort and was impolite enough to inform me of it. Couldn't he just close his mouth? "You make me feel uneasy!" If only you wouldn't steal glances at my cleavage, I'd go change my clothes." I stood up to leave, but he grabbed my hand quickly, and I raised my brows when he did."If you don't want me to look, you should dress decently!"“That’s offensive to say, Jordan!” I told him.After calling out the misappropriate words he uttered, he felt offended and walked away. As a man, he should be saying that kind of nonsense because respecting a woman wouldn’t depend on the clothes she’s wearing.Nevertheless, I felt it was appropriate to follow him inside, and when I couldn’t

    When I joined him, he stared at me for a moment before he resumed eating. Due to my nervousness, I nearly forgot that he was shirtless! Unconsciously, my eyes traveled towards his well-formed chest, and damn it, how could he look so yummy in the morning!“You are making me uncomfortable,” he stated in a flat voice.“I’m sorry but I just realized that you are topless,” I told him.“Is this the first time you see a topless man, Krystal? I bet this is not the first time, so please stop acting.”One way or another, his statement was offensive, but still, I tried to remain calm. “I am not acting, sir,” I reasoned out.“Really, Miss Krystal Miranda?”When he called my name, I was too stunned to speak. My hands were shaking at the thought of being discovered. “You know me?” I asked him seriously.“Of course! Alice gave me your full name when she sent me the bank details,” he replied nonchalantly, and for a moment, I was able to breath. “So, going back to my request, I need a personal assista

    When Alice stopped me from taking the call, I was overthinking again. What if a creditor would suddenly call and I couldn't pay? “What is it? Don’t tell me that you have changed your mind about him,” I jested about Eleazar.“No, it’s not about him. I forgot to tell you that someone booked a long term stay in Bellcana. You were still sleeping when he called earlier,” Alice mentioned.“Great! Finally, we have a guest coming! Wait, I’ll take this call, and hopefully, it’s another reservation,” I said with excitement, even if Alice didn’t mention more details about the guest.“He availed the exclusive use of the entire resort for six months,” Alice continued.In a snap, the feeling of being excited was replaced with disappointment. “Exclusive use for six months? There’s no doubt it was a prank call,” I told her.“Hmmm, he asked for your bank details where he could send the payment,” Alice added, and I arched my brows in response.“We’ll see,” I said before dashing to the front desk to tak

    Instead of opening a food business, I decided to start a resort because Clayland has few resorts that could accommodate tourists. Since my marriage to Logan has been made public, Clayland has become a constant topic. Several socialites flocked to Clayland in hopes to find an old money like Logan’s family.Since I had no experience in running a resort, I attempted to copy my competitor’s way of doing business. Since the resort was built, I considered it as a start up business, and didn’t splurge on expenses.Another sigh escaped from my lips when I strolled towards Alice. She was engaged to my brother, but the bastard was smitten again by his ex-girlfriend. I groaned in frustration because I was reminded when Logan went to his ex and hurt my feelings!Men could really be dense and despicable at times!She carried my baby outside to get some sunlight and fresh air. Curly and light brown hair clung haphazardly to a pretty face. Deep into their sockets, darting brown eyes gazed smilingly

But when I noticed that she seemed distressed and forced, I acted swiftly to save the woman I loved.It was all a misunderstanding.

Despite being attracted to her, I couldn't allow myself to develop feelings. She was just a girl, and the age gap posed an issue. Even though she was in Senior High School, the same age as my brother Andrew, I couldn't pursue her.Her face was undeniably my type, but that didn't change the fact that she was trouble.She dared to kick me where it hurt, she dared to talk back, she dared to defy me. However, she also managed to intrigue me.Many things unfolded between us.

    "Hmm," I hummed, contemplating for a moment. "Actually, there is an issue. Everything was going perfectly, and your surprise exceeded my expectations. But here's my concern: why did you buy such an extravagant ring? This isn't even our wedding ring, and I dare you to suggest that our wedding rings will be even more expensive than this," I playfully threatened him.I am aware that I have a penchant for luxurious things, but the ring holds great significance to me. It symbolizes eternal love. I desire a simple ring to wear in public, one that proudly signifies that it was given to me by the man I adore and who adores me in return."What's wrong with an expensive ring?" he asked, genuinely puzzled. "You deserve it, and so much more. Let me indulge you," he pleaded, his eyes filled with a genuine desire to spoil me.It's as if he doesn't see me as a spoiled brat—no! He actually calls me a spoiled rotten brat. This man is truly something else."I'll let you spoil me in other ways, but not

    After our passionate lovemaking session, we decided to revisit the place where our love story began. Those memories from the past still bring me immense joy, and reminiscing about them fills my heart with warmth.We embarked on a horseback ride, Logan and I, making our way towards the majestic waterfall. As we reached our destination, we noticed that the falls had undergone some improvements. Logan must have known that we might return, so he took the initiative to have it restored. It's a testament to how much our favorite places mean to him.Interestingly, we didn't opt for a traditional church wedding. Instead, we chose this enchanting waterfall as the backdrop for our special day. Perhaps I can attribute it to my love for Twilight, where Bella and Edward had their beautiful forest wedding. I couldn't resist the idea of a similarly enchanting ceremony. How bold of me, indeed!As we stood by the waterfall, we couldn't resist immersing ourselves in the cool and refreshing water. I rem

    "Mom, it's not what you think, okay? We simply stayed up late last night, and as we were feeling hungry, we decided to have a late-night meal. But then, we couldn't immediately fall back asleep. We ended up staying awake, engaged in deep conversations. Unfortunately, my room isn't soundproof, so any noise could be heard," I explained, trying to clarify the situation."Well, I suppose there's some truth to that," my brother chimed in.After our somewhat awkward lunch, the food might have been delicious, but we struggled to enjoy it under Mom's skeptical gaze. The truth is, nothing happened between us last night or this morning. But if we had wanted to, why not, right?So, with that in mind, we decided to visit the mansion. It's a bit bittersweet, knowing that Logan's grandmother is no longer with us. She passed away two years ago, and I regret not being able to visit her before she left.However, Logan's grandmother had expressed her final wish for us to get married. It brings me great
