Save the Last Dance For Me: A Billionaire's Game The Lady in Red
So I reached out to his cheeks, cleaned the tears from his eyes, and smiled to help him ease off. "Do you want to live with us in the countryside? You, me, and Uncle Justine? Though the house wasn't this big or compared to your room in the mansion your aunts couldn't see you there..." "Are you fucking kidding me, huh, Yvanna?" Norman raised his voice furiously to the point that Noah was startled as he took a tight grip on my hands. He stopped crying but his nerves started trembling, I could sense it. "No, I'm not kidding, Norman," I replied without any fear and put the kid behind me. His evil family had already done enough trouble for me and the kid. I don't want to reach the point where his sisters and mother do the same thing to Noah. He was just a kid. And they were all heartless monsters. "You couldn't understand how we felt because you, yourself, also have been hurting the kid - your son, by blood. Cheated on me. Kissed another woman in front of the kid." I a

Yvanna's and Justine's claim about me was proven right when I let the woman kiss me on the lips. And I kissed her back until we ended up lying on one bed with nothing left on our bodies. "Who the hell are you to stop me from doing what I want and whom I spent the night with, Yvanna?" I furiously breathed in the middle of our journey back to the mansion. "We're getting married soon, Norman. You should be thinking about how to become a good husband and a father to your child. Noah will be out in this stomach in a few months." she insisted with tears in her eyes. "They were all my circle of friends, Yvanna. What's wrong with spending the night with them, huh? We were simply celebrating for passing our midterm exams." I debated as I don't allow anyone to dictate to me what a dela Vega can and cannot do. Now that I knew my future as the sole heir of my grandfather's multi-billion corporation was as clear as the brightness of a smoldering sun, I was not gonna let anyone step on me. I ca

Imagine my surprise when the two started uttering profanity on the same night of my inauguration in front of the crowd where cameras and security guards flooded throughout the Blue House. Speaking of the security guards, hundreds of them left their stations and bolted in Yvanna's direction. This time, it was not just the eager paparazzi who were taking photos and videos of them slapping and hair-pulling each other, but most, if not all of the attendees. And they were all enjoying the show. What worried me the most was that I already lied to Draku earlier that Yvanna and I were on good terms as husband and wife. But the commotions speak the other way around. "Mom! Mother Luciana, please, STOP!" I yelled at both of them even if it was completely inappropriate. Along with the security guards, we attempted to pull them away from each other. "You're a monster, Mauricia!" "And your daughter is a kidnapper! Your daughter kidnapped my grandson. Better return him to

But to my surprise, Justine pulled me up and blew a hard punch straight into my face. "You got to be kidding me, Norman!" he blurted. "No wonder Yvanna doesn't want to be with you anymore. Because you only think about your reputation and use your money to cover up for all your mistakes." "Of course," Mother Luciana seconded, "A family that flocks together stays together. No wonder for seven years, all my daughter got from that evil family was nothing but suffering. If and only I had known the mask behind those faces from the beginning, we could have disagreed about our daughter marrying you." "Get away from here, Norman! We don't need an evil like you here. You and Yvanna are already done." Justine pushed me away from the operating room. "Eat all your money or hire someone to have sex with you. That's who you are. We don't need your money." "But money is all I have, Justine. Please, tell me what to do to make it up with Yvanna. I love her." I defensively replied as I i

"See? I told you won't believe me either? Because for you, I am the enemy - the bad mother when I only think about your safety. And your queen of drama ex-wife is the victim," Mom slid to her closet took out all her clothes, and dropped them to the floor. Dad attempted to stop Mom from packing all her things, but she appeared to have made up her mind to voluntarily leave the mansion instead of waiting for me to drag them out. I didn't want to argue with them further so I evacuated the room and went to mine. While glancing at the ceiling, digging for some answers, I remembered our loyal friend at the police station. So I grabbed my phone and dialed his digits. While waiting for him to pick up the call, I hopped out of bed and occupied my eyes on those portraits of me, Noah, and Yvanna hanging on the wall. "Yvanna was shot earlier, but the cops declared nothing about it. Could you do some digging about the case? I know there was something more about the incident. Do

One month later, in the middle of my work in the office of the mayor, my phone suddenly rang, breaking the deafening sounds of silence that dominated the room. "Mr. Emilio, I can't talk much right now. I'm a bit busy in the office." I uttered those words without moving my mouth as we were in the middle of an emergency meeting to address an important issue that struck the city. "So, if it's not urgent, and you can fix the problem yourself, please, do the honor." "It's about Yvanna, Mr. dela Vega. I want you to know that she will get discharged this afternoon." Hearing him softly breathing out her name almost made me depart from my seat. It has been a month since she was admitted to the hospital and within those days, I didn't get the chance to take a glimpse of her because my work as the city mayor and CEO of my empire swallowed my schedule in whole. And I was put in the middle of deciding either to let them continue the meeting without me or just ignore I got th

I, for one, was the first who disagreed with her ridiculous plan. However, it is also the only possible way we could be together - that I could see and protect her every day. So, I forced my arms and legs to crawl to reach the car as much as possible, especially when people started taking photos and videos of me having a nervous breakdown. Then I cleaned my face to make sure Yvanna would not see my eyes swelling. There was also a cold bottle of water in the compartment. I took it and gulped. While waiting for Yvanna to show up, even if I already that I was simply fooling myself, believing for the impossible, I reached out to Mr. Emilio. "Yes, Mr. Mayor?" he asked. "Is the meeting done?" I asked back with my eyes fixed on the main exit of the hospital. "It did five minutes ago, Mr. Mayor. You have nothing to worry about anymore. Everything was all set up according to your schedule. Have you talked to Ms. Summer already?" "Yeah, we already did. And guess

Despite the huge announcement, everyone was put into silence this time, far from the way I expected. It was the kind of silence when we could hear nothing despite our mouths chewing the food, our spoon, and fork scooping in and out of the plates, and gulping the glass of water. I barely heard those sounds apart from my roaring heartbeats. Or perhaps I was the only one who felt the time in the dining area stopped ticking. Well, there is one sound that broke the silence between all of us -- Noah's continuous slurping, ignoring the heavy tension of the elders' discussion. Mr. Emilio who stood in the corner behind me, and was supposed to be the family's legal advisor, kept his mouth shut. The truth is, since my grandfather's passing, my old position as the president of the empire has been vacant. After inheriting everything, I haven't found it hard to manage everything alone to the point that the said position has been vacant and dormant. Dad did not even ask for it

The tick-tock of the clock in our world has seemed to stop, accompanied by the heavy weight of the sensation rested on our helpless shoulders. His back rested on my chest, arms lying on both sides, and his smiling face pointing at me. "Why, Norman? You could have run away and saved your life. Why did you catch the bullet for me, huh? I'm not worth it. Have you forgotten I still hate you?" "Because I love you, Yvanna," he spoke out. "Remember those flowers, chocolates, and food containers?" I nodded as my tears kept pouring down my cheeks like an open faucet, especially when he started ejecting a bulk of blood from his nose and mouth. "Someone gave me that kind of idea eight years ago," he added. "I don't know how to make it up to you so I copied what you did when we were in college. When you confessed your feelings to me and wanted to be my girlfriend. Do you still remember? Because I do remember everything, Yvanna. That was also the day when I started to get annoye

Mr. Emilio attempted to snatch the phone from me but I swiftly dodged his grasp and held onto the phone tightly. Then I slid to the corner to make sure no one could interrupt our conversation. "This is how it is, Yvanna," he continued. "Finally, I can seek my revenge on the person who ruined my life in the past sixteen years. You should join me." "But you kidnapped him, Tanner. The police officers are also looking for you." I responded softly as if my lips hadn't moved a bit, still hesitant about his proposal even if it tempted me. Tanner's continuous laughter roared like thunder from the other line of the phone. "Police officers?" he asked with conviction. "Are you kidding me? How do you think I managed to get him out of prison without being noticed, Yvanna? Police officers are nothing but frugal. With the right amount of money, they will help you no matter how hard and impossible the jobs are." After giving it much thought, I agreed to Tanner's proposal which was

In the middle of the profound conversation, Elaine approached and showed us something we did not expect. Something I never expected to get leaked. "Mr. Emilio, are you aware of this?" One of the company's lawyers blurted in disbelief. The utter disappointment was written in everyone's faces apart from me. The news Elaine showed us was the footage of Norman having sex with another woman. "No, I'm not even aware Norman had an affair with another woman. And I barely recognize her." Mr. Emilio defensively replied. "Her name is Kristine Kate. And I am well aware of the existence of that footage because someone sent me a copy of it a few days ago." I confessed. Everyone's sharp eyes were pointing at me as if they were suspecting me. Can someone assist me to my office? I am going to check the flash drive in my drawer. And for the record, I didn't leak the footage." "I'll come with you, Mrs. dela Vega. I have to get something on my desk too." Elaine proposed. Without asking further ques
Save the Last Dance For Me: A Billionaire's Game The Wedding Arrest
The next morning, everyone in the mansion was swamped but excited apart from me as it would also be the same day Norman and I would have our second wedding. What I discovered in front of Justine's apartment remained a huge mystery to me. Norman did not come home last night because it was in our tradition that the couple must be separated on the day of the wedding and will meet at the church. But since I have nowhere else to go, my parent's house is on the other side of the world, I used the mansion while Norman used the dela Vega Group and Companies building. "Smile, Mrs. dela Vega," says the makeup artist who has been preparing me for almost an hour. "You are about to get married but you looked like the entire weight of the world fell onto your shoulders." "Why? Do you have any regrets about remarrying the mayor, Mrs. dela Vega?" her assistant asked. Regrets? A lot. If and only my family was born as rich and powerful as the dela Vegas, only a fool would remarr

"Wait, do you, by chance, are you the one who...?" I couldn't bring up the question when we have someone with us in the car. So I decided to wait until we reached the office. Last night. It took Norman almost an hour to get back to the rehearsal dinner after sending Veronica and Malia out of the hotel. But I have no idea what he and his security guards did to them outside, and why he took almost an hour to get back. Not that I don't want the two dead, the news was just too sudden. As soon as we arrived, I quickly headed to my desk to start working. Norman followed me, lost in his thoughts, I can tell. He dropped his butt on the couch next to my desk and fixed his eyes in one direction - toward his uncertainty. "Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. dela Vega!" Elaine greeted us with a smile after the successful rehearsal dinner last night. Based on my abrupt observation, she hasn't heard of the news yet. "Here's your cup of coffee and tea, Mr. and Mrs. dela Vega! Enjo

"So you mean that one of those cops could have killed the man on our way to his house?" I continued his statement when that was what I believed. He nodded. "Or more. And that's what we need to know. And I highly suggest you work on it behind Tanner's knowledge." "You want me to stab Tanner behind his back? Have you forgotten he's my lawyer?" I asked, debated to be precise. "Tanner was pretty convinced earlier that you agreed to the result of the cops' investigation regarding the case. Better keep it that way. I'll recommend a loyal police officer who can work on the case with confidentiality." Then he asked me to get his phone from his left pocket to search for the contact person. I believed Norman had nothing to do with the attempt of killing me so I agreed to his proposal. And, of course, for our conversation to be put to an end. After getting the man's contact information, a deafening silence dominated the rest of the travel toward the hotel. Fifteen minut
Save the Last Dance For Me: A Billionaire's Game He Walked Out
After the call ended, we continued the photo shoot, buying enough time to better think about what to do in this kind of situation. Putting my situation into words, I was having second thoughts about whether I should tell Norman about my deal with Tanner or have to face and tell Tanner myself about remarrying Norman. Either way, I don't know the answer once I picked one when both of them were not to my advantage. There are no choices that won't hurt anyone in the middle of the process. "Do you mind if I ask what time will the rehearsal dinner be?" I asked Norman as soon as Noah and I were settled in his car. "Why? Do you have any other appointment that I am not aware of?" He asked back. "Tanner and I will have a meeting at three. He said that he had something to tell me. Perhaps it has something to do with the case he's working on. Would you like to come with me?" I proposed, with the hope that he would say no. "Why can you just reschedule that meeting?" Lik

"Let go of us, Yvanna!" Veronica cried out as she attempted to remove my hand from their hair. "We didn't do anything wrong." Malia debated. "In fact, we are someone else's escorts." A few security guards attempted to break us apart from after catching a glimpse that it was me, they backed out. Instead, they followed us outside the building. The moment we stepped foot outside, I pushed the two harder. Hard enough they both stumble to the rough and muddy surface of the ground. Their once glimmering expensive evening gowns are now stained with dirt and mud. And I have no regrets dragging them away from the event. "Do you think I am that fool enough not to notice what you two are doing to my husband?" I growled at them. "Even if you were someone else's escort, doesn't mean you cannot flirt with him." Veronica and Malia burst into tears as they looked around. Hundreds of flashing cameras surrounded us, catching every angle of the commotion. Malia tried to cover her face with her bar

"Come on, Mom, Dad! Can you just hear me out, please?" I insisted as I tailed them heading out of the mansion. "Get back, Yvanna!" Dad exclaimed. He and Mom doubled their pace toward the main road. "We don't have a daughter now. Go back to that hell of a place." I was about to stop them from hopping into the cab but they took off at the speed of light, leaving me alone in the road. "Please, get back inside, Mrs. dela Vega." One of the security guards followed me and helped me up as I dropped my knees to the rough surface of the ground. "Let me follow them on your behalf instead." The man next to him proposed. "We'll keep you posted once we can talk to them." They then hailed a cab and took off. I attempted to hail a new cab but two new security guards appeared and begged me to get back to the mansion as it was a strict order from Norman. Leaving with no other choice, I went straight to Noah's room. "Mom, are you alright? Are you crying? Did those evil hurt
