The Matter Of TrustNagkatitigan si Cody at Boris sa bilis ng pagkakagawa ni Devi na paghagis kay Dalia. The move was intense and was very satisfying for them to witness.Napalunok naman ang mga tao sa harapan nila. For them, Devine Miller seemed a lazy and vulnerable white cat but it turned out a very fierce cat. Hindi nila akalain na may itinatago pa lang bangis sa likod ng maamo at malaanghel nitong mukha.Hindi rin nakakibo si Favio Miller sa ginawang pagtilapon ni Devi kay Dalia. Umurong bigla ang dila niya.Tumingin si Devi kay Hugo ng masuyo. "You can continue now," she said."Are you calm now?" he asks as he grabs her hands.Devi nodded. "Yeah,""Good. Now, drink this." inabot ni Hugo ang bottled water at binuksan iyon saka inabot kay Devi.Devi slightly smiles, showing her cute dimples. "Thanks, my, Mr. Ivanov," Devi said.Hugo tapped Devi's head while lovingly looking at her.Cody and Boris rolled their eyes again.'Kailan ba matatapos ang public display of affection (PDA) ng
Business PartnerFavio Miller's face paled. Hindi niya matukoy kung ano pang sikreto niya na alam ni Hugo."Boris, give him the deed of sale documents." utos naman ni Hugo kay Boris."Yes, boss." gumalaw naman agad si Boris at inilapag ang documents sa harapan nito."Mr. Miller, this is the last time I ask you. You will sign the 40% deed of sale share or, you will go to jail right now!""M-Mr... Ivanov—""I give you only 10 seconds to choose, Mr. Miller! Or else, I will hand you to the PBI right away!" pabagsak na wika ni Hugo rito.A silence was surfacing for a second."Time is up!"Favio Miller's heart skipped a beat with Hugo's dark tone. Napapakurap ito habang galit na tumingin kay Hugo at Devi."Devi, hindi mo talaga ako kayang tulungan? I am your father. Why are you letting your fiancé treat me like this?!" may halong galit at tampo sa boses ng ama ni Devi.Devi pursed her lips. She did not say anything. Nilingon naman ni Hugo si Devi, at that time lumingon rito si Devi."Is it n
David MillerDevi's eyes widened in shock. Bigla siyang napalingon kay Hugo habang bumibilis ang pagtibok ng kanyang dibdib.Favio Miller is also shocked. He cannot believe that someone knows that secret. That secret only belongs to him and Amira. Hindi siya makapaniwalang may nakakaalam pang ibang tao bukod sa kanya."W-what did you say?" Devi stammer.Hugo looks at everyone who had also a shocking expression. "The meeting is adjourned. You may go now, except you, Mr. Miller." wika ni Hugo.Nagsitanguan naman at nagtayuan ang mga higher-ups. They are still confused about it. Hugo couldn't stop himself from telling it. Dahil masyado ng sinisira ni Favio Miller ang image ni Devi sa harap ng mga higher-up. He cannot accept that anyone will mock Devi in the company just because of a wrong accusation."Before you leave, make sure this issue is sealed! Anyone who spreads false information, I will sue. Understand!?""Y-yes. M-Mr. Ivanov..."Pagkaalis ng lahat ay tumingin si Hugo kay Devi. De
Age Gap"Sshh... Honey, calm down, alright? Calm down..." Hugo was very gentle while coaxing her.Huminga naman ng malalim si Devi. "I can't calm down. Let me kill him, please?" nakatingalang pakiusap ni Devi kay Hugo.Hugo shook his head. "I won't allow you, honey... even if I also wanted him to die right now."Devi gulped while looking at Hugo.Favio still heavily gaining his breath. Napapahaplos ito sa sumasakit na leeg habang bakatingin ng masama kay Devi."Kung alam ko lang na magagawa mo ito sa akin ngayon. Sana noon pa lang ay pinatay na kita— UHG!" Favio whined in pain.Hugo couldn't stop himself from kicking Favio in his chest while Devi was still in his arms. His kick sends him on the verge of death.Favio vomited too much blood while coughing."Send him to the police and hand them all the crime that he did. Make sure he won't be able to get out!""Yes, boss." sagot ni Cody."Boris," tawag ni Hugo rito matapos damputin nito ang tseke na nasa table. "Drive us home,"Napatingal
Daddy, Mommy"Yeah, he's not deserving of becoming your father," Hugo embraced Devi even more. "Your mother's instincts are very brilliant, honey... because before she died, she already transferred all her shares to you. Alam kasi niya na isa iyon sa dahilan kung bakit pinakasalan siya ni Favio.""Kaya ba hindi niya ako nagawang patayin dahil kapag namatay rin ako hindi napupunta sa kanya ang lahat na minana ko kay mommy?" tanong ni Devi."Exactly. Your mom's testament indicates that all of your shares in the Miller Company will go to the Charity institutions. Limang charity ang napili niya kasama na roon ang pinanggalingan niyang bahay ampunan.""That is why hindi tinapos ni Favio ang buhay ko noon dahil sa hindi rin maging kanya ang buong kompanya." Devi looked at Hugo. "He doesn't deserve to have money. Dahil sa simula pa lang hindi kanya ang inaangkin niya!""Yeah, that's why I get everything to him. I want to return it to the real owner. And that's you. Ikaw talaga ang dapat magma
Devi's TearsBiglang parang may bumara sa lalamunan ni Devi habang nakatingin siya kay Hugo, at si Hugo naman ay nakatingin sa lapida ng kanyang mga magulang."Hugo," Devi called out his name.Hugo looks at Devi's wet eyes. "Hmm?""I'm very sad now, I want to cry knowing the tragic story of my parents. Also, I am very happy because of your goodness against us." Devi said with a cracked voice.Hugo reaches out of Devi's face and caresses it. "I told you to cry whenever you feel crying so that your aching heart will relief. Come on, you have me to cry on, honey."Finally, Devi did not stop her tears. Hinila siya ni Hugo at kinulong sa mga yakap nito.Hinayaan ni Hugo ang tumangis si Devi sa kanyang dibdib habang masuyo niya itong hinahaplos sa likod.Devi cried and cried. Walang katapusan ang mga luha niya sa pag-agos sa kanyang mga mata. Simula pagkabata ay tinuruan na siya ng Mommy Amira niya na maging isang matatag na bata at hindi iyakin. Ayaw ng mommy niya na maging malambot ang pus
Advance RoundNagising si Devi ng dapit hapon na. Nasa pamilyar siyang silid nila ni Hugo sa Villa. She was about to sit up when the door opened from the outside.Hugo comes in with a food tray.Devi smiles a bit habang nagkatitigan sila ni Hugo."It's good that you're awake now," he said as he placed the tray in the bed at saka naupo sa tabi ni Devi."I slept too much," Devi said."Yes, because you cried too much," Hugo said and kissed Devi's swollen eyes."Hindi mo ako ginising. Hindi man lang ako nakapagpaalam kay mommy at daddy." Devi clings to Hugo's neck."They will understand, and... pinagpaalam na kita sa kanila."Devi smiled. "Thank you.""Are you feeling good now?" masuyong tanong ni Hugo kay Devi.Devi nod. "Yeah, I am very fine now and it seems like nawala ang bigat sa dibdib ko. That's why I want to thank you. And I'm really glad to know that Favio is not my biological father.""I'm glad you are fine now." wika ni Hugo na nakatingin pa rin sa namamagang mga mata ni Devi."
Cody | AliceNaggedInabutan na naman ng gabi si Cody bago niya matapos lahat ang kanyang ginawa sa pagaasikaso ng kaso ni Favio Miller. Pagkatapos niya sa kulungan ay nakipag-ugnayan siya sa isang general na kilala ng kanyang boss na si Hugo. Kasama niya sa pagaasikaso niyong lahat ay si Tarrik, dahil isa rin ito sa tumulong sa lahat ng kaso ni Favio. Also, Tarrik has a big connection with the police governments.Pagkatapos naman ni Cody kay Favio ay tumungo pa siya sa Ivanov Corporation dahil ang boss niya ay sinamahan si Devi sa kanyang pagdadalamhati sa lahat ng sikretong nalaman nito tungkol sa buong pagkatao.Pagkabukas ng elevator ay pagod na pagod na tinungo ni Cody ang direksyon ng kanyang apartment. Nang malapit na niyang lagpasan ang pinto ng apartment ni Alice ay siya namang pagbukas niyon.Alice and Cody look at each other.Dahil sa pagod ay hindi ni Cody pinansin si Alice.Kumunot ng bahagya ang noo ni Alice. She was observing him. He looked tired and his suit was wrinkle
The Best"You... you're what?" Hugo stammered and frowned."Pregnant... I'm pregnant." Devi said with gladness."Y-you're pregnant? H-how come?"Devi's face slowly turned sour. She didn't think her husband questioned her pregnancy like that. "You mean, how did it happen? Of course, you are always active in bed. So, pinaghihinalaan mo na hindi sa'yo ang bata?" she feels angry with Hugo's reaction. She slowly unclasped her hold on his neck.Hugo immediately explains and tightens his hold on Devi's waist. "Don't get it wrong, honey. I mean, how come, I've always been careful most of the time. How come we produce a baby in an instant?" Hugo gently explained."Oh, it's a babies." Devi corrected him."What do you mean, babies?" nagtatakang tanong ni Hugo rito."Twins. There's two little creatures in my womb." Devi smiles while saying it.Hugo was dumbfounded. His eyes blinked seriously while staring at his smiling beautiful wife."Hubby, you're not happy with our babies? Don't you like them?
I'm PregnantAfter Hugo hung up, he immediately called his wife. He patiently waits until Devi picks up the phone. Pero natapos na lang ang ring ng hindi pa nito sinasagot ang tawag niya.Mas nangunot ang noo ni Hugo. As he remembered, Devi usually picks up his call after three to five rings. He placed down his phone.All of the people around their hearts skipped a beat when Hugo's eyes looked at them. Hugo is about to speak when his phone rang. Agad niya iyong sinagot ng makita si Devi ang tumatawag."Honey... What's the matter?" Devi's warm voice was heard on the other end of the line.Hugo's angry face adjusts a little. "Are you okay?""Yuh, I'm fine. I'm in the middle of the meeting when you call me that's why I didn't answer your call.""Mom told me to check you. Are you not feeling well?""Hey, I'm fine."Hugo frowned. "Sure?""Yuh.""Hm..." Hugo is not convinced. Hindi naman siya tatawagan ng ina niya kung hindi ito nagsasabi ng totoo. "Are you still in the meeting?""Yes, but i
FearHarvey and the old couple frowned."What did you say?" sabay na tanong ng tatlo kay Jhulia.Jhulia warmly smiles at them. "I said... my daughter-in-law, Devi is pregnant with twins.""Sweetheart, really?" Harvey asked with a smile.Jhulia nodded. "Yeah. Ava, my gynaecologist friend, confirmed it this morning when I brought Devi with me for a check-up. It happened that I suspected Devi's pregnancy without her knowing. Kaya dinala ko siya sa clinic, and..." she looked at her husband, "Sweetheart, we are going to be grandparents soon. I'm very excited because it's a twin. Our son is really amazing.""What a good news. By the way, where is Devi?" tanong ni Harvey sa kanyang asawa.Kumunot ang noo ng dalawang matanda habang nakatingin kay Jhulia."Devi... uh, I can't stop her from going to her company. She is having a meeting today, so she asks me to drop her in the office after I treat her to satisfy her cravings.""What? You let her work?" Helga asked Jhulia with a frown."Mom, kilal
Break The NewsAfter the check-up, Jhulia and Devi bid goodbye to the O.B. doctor."What do you want to eat?" tanong agad ni Jhulia pagkapasok nila sa kotse.Devi glanced at her mother-in-law. Nagisip siya kung may gusto ba siyang kainin sa mga sandaling iyon. "Nothing...""Nothing?" Jhulia raised her eyebrows."Yeah.""Are you sure?"Devi nodded."Come on, tell mommy and I will buy you anything you want. Anyway, may sinabi ka kanina na gusto mong kainin. What is it again?" Jhulia asked Devi when the driver opened the car engine."I don't like eating now.""No. Tell me again.""Mommy, lumipas na ang cravings ko, wala akong maisip na gustong kainin ngayon. Um, can you please drop in at the Miller Company, I have something to do in my office.""No. Tell me first what food you like to eat, saka kita ihahatid sa office mo." Pamimilit pa rin ni Jhulia sa kanya.Devi has no choice. "Alright, I want strawberry ice cream with chocolate syrup and creamy doughnuts. That's all." Inulit na lang ni
Twins"Congratulations, you are pregnant Mrs. Devi Ivanov." The doctor confirms Devi's pregnancy.The words 'you're pregnant' keep on ringing in Devi's ear.Napapatulala siya na napatingin sa doktora habang ang dibdib niya ay lumakas ang pagtibok."Yesss..." bigla namang napasigaw si Jhulia sa magandang balita at agad niyakap si Devi na nakatulala pa rin sa mga oras na iyon."A... am I really pregnant?" Devi stammered."Yes." Sagot naman ni Dr. Ava at Jhulia sa kanya.Devi swallowed hard and blinked her eyes beautifully. She didn't know how to express her emotions, knowing that she was pregnant."Are you not happy?" Jhulia said."I am overwhelmed, mom. Of course, I am happy. But... I don't know how to express it."The two women chuckled at her cute reaction."Well, of course, it's because this is your first time being pregnant. Well, congratulations again.""Ava. Kailan ang expected due date ng daughter-in-law ko?" Jhulia asked her friend in an excited tone."To know when we need to ru
Run TestDevi was a bit wondering when Jhulia urged her not to drive and bring her car. She just asked her driver and drove them instead."Mom, where exactly we were going? You didn't let me drive. Pwede naman ako na lang ang magmaneho at magdala ng car. I can drop you anywhere you want after this, or I can send you back to the mansion again before I go to the company."Jhulia shook her head. "No. Ayokong mapagod ka. Since Hugo says that you look tired everyday. Well, ano ba ang nangyari may sakit ka ba?"Umiling si Devi rito. "No mom, but yeah these days nakakaramdam ako ng kakaiba.""What kind? Tell me, darling.""Like, I feel tired, I feel dizzy sometimes, I get irritated in such small matters. I also feel sleepy and lazy all of a sudden. And I hate Hugo when he's always against what I want. Like what he did this morning. And weird, I also feel emotional instantly.""Kailan mo lang ito naramdaman, hija?" Jhulia seriously asked her."I think a week ago, Mom."Jhulia gently smiled an
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
