Devi's HouseDevi immediately moved upstairs. Dahil nakabihis na si Hugo at siya ay magsa-shower pa lang.Hugo patiently waits for Devi in the living room. While waiting, he gives some orders to Boris na male-late siya at hindi niya alam kung anong oras siya makakarating sa kompanya."Boss, let me remind you of your meetings. At 09:00 am sharp, you have to attend an important online conference meeting. At 10:30 Am—""Just inform them that I'll be late." agad pinutol ni Hugo ang sasabihin ni Boris."Okay, noted Boss.""Any news?""About what you said last night, I am still trying to convince the shareholder to hand the share, Boss. Also, there is an unknown personality who also wants to buy shares.""Bought it triple times the market price with the said conditions. Siguraduhin mong ako ang unang makabili.""Okay, Boss. I will update you later.""Good."Pagkababa niya ng tawag ay agad niyang naalala ang paguusap nila ni Devi kanina. Devi doesn't want him to help her. Ngunit ayaw pa rin n
Slow Doctor"Speak!" Hugo was annoyed with the distraction."B-Boss, you should come here. Your meeting with the higher-ups is about to start, boss."Hugo instantly frowned. "Didn't I tell you—""I already did what you said, boss. But, they were not allowed in your absence. That is why I immediately informed you."Hugo pursed his lips and then hung up."Work?" Devi asks.Hugo nodded.Devi smiles as she ties Hugo's necktie properly. "Go if it's important.""But I promise to accompany you to buy a new car," he said looking at what Devi did."I can go alone, or I can wait until you have time. Pwede pa rin naman akong mag commute sa kung saan man ako pupunta hangga't wala pa akong kotse.""I'm very sorry, honey. But I will accompany you once I have free time this afternoon.""Okay, kahit bukas pa." nakangiting wika ni Devi rito."Sure, I let Boris arrange my appointment for tomorrow.""Then go now. You need to work for our better future."Hugo suddenly smiled as he heard it. "We already ha
Crazy FriendYanzy cough. "A-and what are you saying? What's behind us?""Yeah. Let me ask you. Is there any past story?" panghuhuli ni Devi rito."Hey. I think I have to go now. My team has finally arrived now. We are about to start the operation sessions.""Okay, okay. Diyan ka naman magaling. You can slip right now. But no more next time, Dra. Yanzy.""I'm really busy. Look, kakagaling ko lang sa tatlong araw na lagnat." Yanzy sounds pitiful."Didn't Dr. Lacyd take care of you? Ibinilin ka ni Hugo sa matalik na kaibigan niya sa pagkakaalam ko." Devi continues. But it was true. Nalaman lang niya iyon ng tanungin niya si Hugo about sa location ni Yanzy. He said Lacyd would be Yanzy's neighborhood."So. Panatag na pala ang loob mo ngayon na magdesisyon para sa akin ang fiancé mo at ipahabilin pa ako sa ibang tao? Devine Miller! You are too much! Pinalagpas ko ang tatlong araw na hindi mo man lang ako kinamusta. This is really too much!"Devi facepalm. She wanted to curse herself. "Oh,
Teasing AliceDevi pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. Parang siya pa ngayon ang may matinding sala sa lahat.'Bakit ba ako nagka—kaibigan na may tama sa mga pagiisip? First, Yanzy, then now, Xillin. Idagdag pa si Alice.' Devi thought to herself."Anyway, do you still remember, Yanzy?""Yes. Your friend, a doctor who you introduced to me before. Why?""She's here in Kana City.""Oh, really, si Doctora nandito?""Yuh. Um, I just want to invite the two of you. One of these days. Dito sa bahay. Cityscape Apartment. Just a simple dinner for the three of us.""Sure, sure. Just tell me when. Okay?""Alright, I immediately inform you when. Bye, for now, Xillin."After Devi dropped the call, she sent a short message to Yanzy.Devi: Don't get mad. I will cook you to a dinner anytime soon.Yanzy: Hmp. I'm busy right now, Devine Miller. Will text you when I have time!Devi smiled. Hindi na niya ginambala pa si Yanzy dahil alam niya bilang doctor na profession ay napaka busy nitong tao. Yanzy alm
Code LaLaDevi went upstairs and went inside his study room with her laptop and all her important USBs and documents. She sat on her swivel chair and was seriously working in front of her computer and laptop.She opened everything, her private hacker sites. Open her codes. Open the important case of her mother. Also, her main job is as a private business consultant.Ganoon siya kapag wala siyang ginagawa. She has to work in multiple. Ngunit bago pa man ang lahat ay may tinawagan muna siya."Office of the Miller, Hello good morning," ang sagot sa kabilang linya."Hi. This is Kat Mill," pakilala ni Devi sa kanyang second identity name."Oh, hi Ms. Kat. According to your inquiry. Ma'am may nakauna na hong makabili ng 10% for sale shares ng Miller Company. The buyer bought it at triple the market price. I'm very sorry, Ma'am Kat." the woman on the other line was apologetic.Devi sighed. "I'm still willing to buy a share. Kindly inform me if there are shareholders who are planning to sell t
Scandal"Devi! Walang hiya ka. Nagawa mo talaga ang siraan ako at si Salem sa social media. Ano, masaya kana na pinahiya mo ako sa lahat ng tao sa media?!"Agad nailayo ng bahagya ni Devi ang cellphone niya sa kanyang tenga dahil sa lakas at pasigaw na boses ni Dalia sa kabilang linya."Devi! Bawiin mo ang mga masamang balita tungkol sa amin ni Salem!" sigaw muli ni Dalia.Devi sneered. "You are so noisy! Will you stop shouting and nagging at me?!""You...""Bakit ako ang sinisisi mo? May pruweba kaba na ako ang gumawa at nagkalat ng balita tungkol sa iyo? Patunayan mo muna na ako ang gumawa bago mo ako tawagan at diktahan, Dalia!""Walang ibang gagawa kundi ikaw lang!""Oh, really? Huh..." Devi snorted. "Look, hindi ko na kasalanan kung lumabas ang balitang 'yan. You should blame Father and Salem's family who have the guts to announce the engagement issue of me and Salem. What a joke!""You ruined me. You ruin, Salem! You ruin everything! Masaya ka na?""Only a bit. Not totally. Sa tu
Scared And Distressed"Stop it!""Shut up!"Napadaing si Devi ng mas idiin ng lalaki ang kutsilyo sa leeg niya.'Dear God, help me... Mommy, help me...' Ang tanging nadaing ni Devi habang nagsilaglagan ang kanyang mga luha.Bago pa man lumalim at tumungo ang halik ng lalaki sa kanyang dibdib ay biglang bumukas ang pinto.Biglang nabuhayan ng loob si Devi."Who are you?!" Dalia's voice was loudly heard.Bigla agad tumakbo ang lalaki na halos hubo't hubad palabas ng silid ni DeviDevi was shocked and immediately wrapped the blanket around her almost naked body.She was terribly shocked and shaking.Nagising lang si Devi ng tuluyan nang may isang malakas na sampal ang natamo niya mula sa kanyang ama na hindi niya alam paano nakasugod sa kanyang silid."D-daddy..." nagdurugo ang bibig ni Devi habang nakatingin siya sa kanyang ama habang nanginginig ang katawan. "D-daddy. Hindi ko alam. Hindi ko siya kilala. G-gusto niya ako gawan ng masama." nanghihinang wika ni Devi."Magsisinungaling ka
Obedient BoyfriendAfter Devi dropped the call, Hugo immediately frowned, and in his deep thought.Agad niyang naisip si Cody. He instantly dialed Cody's phone number.Hugo 101% trust Devi. But, he thinks, there is something wrong.Devi said she trusted him which is why she did not open the topic about her past to him. She thought he would not question or judge her kung may nalaman man siya sa nakaraan nito."Hi Boss, wazzup." Cody immediately accepted his call."Cody,""Yes, boss Hugo? Do you miss me, boss?""Nonsense!""Ouch...""Did you remember when I told you to investigate, Devi... but I let it stop?""Oo, boss.""Resume the investigation. I need to know everything about her past." Hugo's commanding tone was heard.He wants to resume it not because he didn't trust Devi. Kundi, gusto niyang malaman ang lahat ng nakaraan nito. He knew Devi would open up later. But he was eager to know something. Dahil hindi matutuliro si Devi kung wala siyang naaalala.Cody sighed. "Boss... Um, whe
Breakfast2 Weeks LaterDevi and Hugo are still in the Ivanov Mansion. Hugo's grandparents are still with them. Gustong gusto na ni Hugo ang bumalik sa Villa nila at masolo si Devi but his grandparents and parents didn't allow them as long as his grandparents were there."Grandma, Grandpa, kailan ang balik niyo province?" Hugo asks them while they are having breakfast.Helga and Victor frowned upon hearing it.Victor put down the newspaper that she was reading. And Helga stopped eating."Are you trying to send us out?" Victor asks narrowing his eyes."You brat, at balak mo talaga kaming pauwiin na?" Helga said throwing Hugo a deadly look."I'm just asking. My wife feels bored staying here at the mansion." Hugo uses Devi dahil malakas ang asawa niya sa mga ito. They really adored Devi since there is no woman in the Ivanov family."Si Devi o ikaw?" Helga sneered.Harvey smirks. Alam niyang uwing-uwi na ang anak niya sa Villa nito kasama si Devi.Hugo pursed his lips and silently ate his
PinnedAt the parking lot. Hugo and Devi were hand in hand walking in their car. Agad lumabas ang driver ng kotse at binuksan ang backseat. Malapit na sila sa kotse ng biglang huminto si Devi sa paglalakad."What happened?" Hugo asked frowning."Honey, I'm tired of walking. My ankle is hurting." Devi said, complaining.Hugo smirks.Devi slowly raised her arms. "Carry me, Mr. Ivanov, please?" she cutely said.Hugo nodded. "Of course, my clingy wife," Hugo whispered and carried Devi into his arms.Devi instantly hooked her arms around her husband's neck and leaned into his arms. "Thank you, hubby. I love you."Hugo was pleased.After he placed Devi in the car. Isasara na sana niya ang pinto. But Devi pulled him inside the car. Hugo has no choice but to get inside dahil si Devi na ang umusod papasok.When the driver got inside the car, he immediately pulled down the partition of the car.Devi instantly moves and snuggles into her husband's arms."Are you drunk?" Hugo asks her.Devi shook
Old CoupleDevi was satisfied with her husband's kiss. Her eyes sparkled again while learning Hugo's broad chest. Tumingala siya rito at ngumiti. She reached the corner of his lips and wiped the red taint with her thumb. Hugo let her do it while embracing her waist.The powerful couple is showing affection to each other while Emma is still in front of them.Emma couldn't take it anymore; she avoided staring at them while walking in the background with her heart aching.Ang hindi nila alam ay ang mga paparazzi na sikretong kinukuhanan ang mag-asawa ng mga larawan. May kuha rin habang nandoon si Emma. Ang paghahalikan rin ng mag-asawa ay kuhang kuha sa kamera."Are you tired? You want to go home now?" masuyong tanong ni Hugo kay Devi.Devi nodded. "Yeah. But, everyone is still here even your family. How can we go home just like that?" Devi said and yawned.Hugo smirks and kisses her forehead. "Come on, ako ang bahala."Devi nodded. "Okay."Hugo gently drags Devi, but before they can reac
Intense KissWhile Esmeralda corner Devi, Emma also corners Hugo. Iyon yung oras na susundan na ni Hugo si Devi sa comfort room dahil sa bahagya nang nagtatagal si Devi at hindi pa bumabalik.He was afraid, dahil baka maulit ang nangyari sa nakaraang malaking party na naganap at napuruhan si Devi sa nagtangkang umatake kay Xillin. He can't afford seeing Devi injured again.Paliko na si Hugo ng lumapit sa kanya si Emma na may bitbit na dalawang baso ng alak."Can I have this toast with you?" Emma said and then handed him a glass of wine.Hugo frowned slightly."Don't tell me aayawan mo ako?" Emma was daring, iyon ay dahil bahagya na siyang nakakainom ng alak."Yes. I will refuse it." Hugo said with a serious gaze.Emma smirks. "Oh, why? Dahil ba sa babae na ipinalit mo sa akin?""Yes, because I will drive home and my wife is with me. Her safety is my top priority." Sagot ni Hugo ng diretso rito. Wala siyang pakialam sa mararamdaman nito."Do you love her?""Of course, I do," Hugo said.
RetaliationEsmeralda was trying to talk to Hugo but she ended up with Devi. Sinundan niya ito ng tumungo ito papuntang banyo. Itinaon niya na hindi nito kasama si Hugo. She was alone.Pagkatapos ni Devi gunamit ng banyo ay naghugas siya ng kamay. Naramdaman niyang may isang ginang sa kabilang sink. It was Esmeralda Turner. Pinakilala ito sa kanya kanina ng kanyang mother-in-law. Hindi ito pinansin ni Devi ngunit naramdaman niyang sa kanya ito nakasulyap ng mariin at may galit."So, ikaw ang babae ngayon sa buhay ni Hugo?" Esmeralda said, she sounds serious.Devi reached a hand tissue to dry her hands saka humarap sa ginang. "No. I'm not just his woman. I am his wife." Taas noong sinabi rito ni Devi.Esmeralda narrowed her eyes and didn't say any other words."Um, excuse me, ma'am," Devi said and was about to excuse herself."Don't go. Let me ask you some questions first." Esmeralda stops Devi from going out.Devi stopped. Naramdaman niyang may tao sa pinto at hindi pumasok ng tuluyan.
Apprentice"Oh, hey grandma...""You brat, bakit hindi mo man lang pinapakilala sa amin ang babae na kanina mo pa binubuntutan!" The old woman said in a frown.Hugo pressed his forehead. "Honey, I forgot to introduce you to our grandparents. Come, let me introduce you to them." Hinila ng bahagya ni Hugo si Devi palapit sa isang pares na matanda na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa vip table. "Grandma, Grandpa... This is Devine Miller Ivanov, my wife. Honey, this is my Grandma Helga Ivanov, and Grandpa Victor Ivanov." Hugo introduces Devi to his grandparents.Devi smiled at the old couple. Lumapit siya rito at nagbigay galang sa pamamagitan ng pag-mano at halik sa pisngi ng dalawang matanda.The old couple felt satisfied and also smiled warmly at Devi."Hija, are you pregnant?""Grandma..." Hugo instantly cut his grandma."What? I'm just asking her, brat! Kailan mo pa kami balak bigyan ng apo sa tuhod?" Helga said narrowing her eyes at Hugo."Yeah, grandson. Your grandma is right. Kailan n'yo pa

The six of them were the center of attractions and attention. Idagdag pa na ang mga suot nila ay provided rin ni Sitti.May lumapit na iilan kay Yna, Alice at lalo na kay Sarina na mga talent endorsement company.Hindi na sinubukan ng mga talent manager and CEO's na kausapin pa at alukin ng endorsement sina Devi, Yanzy and Xillin because their man which is one of the influential personalities around Kana City once declared, 'No Chance For Endorsement'. They immediately turned down the endorsement.Yna wanted to accept one endorsement, which is the toothpaste, and also food products. She has a beautiful smile and an innocent, gentle face that fits the endorsement.Alice, which is very shy and serious. She instantly refused the beauty products because she has a lot of work in the Miller Company. Cod
Six Expensive Princesses"Honey, go back to your chair," Devi whispered to Hugo."I don't want to go back in our supposed chair. You know me very well," he said when Hugo was still accompanying her.Devi smirks. "Of course, I know."Nakita ni Devi ang paglabas ni Yanzy, Xillin, Sarina, Alice, and Yna. Ang pinakahuli naman ay ang godmother niyang si Sitti.Everyone shouted at Sitti's name when she was finally with them. Tumungo ito sa tabi ng unahan ni Devi at Hugo. They move forward and then humbly bow to finish their show. Nakisabay na rin si Hugo. He had no choice, he didn't want to leave Devi's side at bumalik sa tabi ni Emma."Well... well, the catwalk is finally over. Let's give Sitti's Masterpiece a round of applause..." Sigaw ng emcee ng malakas.Pumalakpak naman ang lahat kasabay ng paglapit ng emcee sa gawi ni Sitti at ng mga naggagandahang modelo nito."Hello, Ms. Sitti... Welcome to Kana City." The Emcee greeted her and excitedly kissed her cheeks as she handed a microphone
Hugo's P.D.A"Let me help my wife..."The emcee was in awe while widening her eyes. The audience also parted their lips with awe."You— your wife... Your wife, Mr. Ivanov?"Hugo nodded. "Yes, my wife.""S—sure Mr. Ivanov, you can help your wife fix her sandals." The Emcee stammered while gazing at Hugo's domineering aura.Hugo gently gazed at Devi and then kneeled with his left knee, and he slowly fixed Devi's loose hook sandals.Pigil ang hininga at humahanga ang halos lahat ng audience habang nakatitig sa dalawa. The words of Hugo lvanov 'my wife', still don't process on their minds. At nasundan pa ng pagluhod nito sa harapan ng magandang modela.Hugo is like a Prince kneeling to help his Princess.Devi's eyes were gently staring at him while her left hand rested on Hugo's shoulder and her left hand held up her long gown.Both of them are very beautiful, indeed a perfect couple.After Hugo fixed the hook of her sandal, he stayed kneeling, and what he did next amazed the whole audienc
