Grey IPhoneDevi stayed in her apartment for 3 days. Wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi ang magmukmok magisa. Gumigising siya ng maaga upang mag exercise sa mini garden set ng buong comfound nang cityscape apartment. Then go to shower, prepare and eat her healthy breakfast. Saka siya haharap sa harapan ng kanyang laptop upang gawin ang lahat ng trabahong nakaatang sa kanya. She also held short voice conference meetings and attended voice online discussions. Araw-araw ay ganoon lang ang nangyayari sa buong buhay niya. No hassle and no complications.Working online is very convenient for Devi. Dahil isa siyang private specialist, no need for her to show personally in those indoor Conference meetings. Isa rin kasi sa mga rules niya ay 'Not showing personally and not dropping her true identity'. That's why, all of the people who she has been working with were very curious about her identity. Ni hindi alam ng lahat ang totoong hitsura niya. Ang alam lang ng lahat ay isa siyang babae. Si Alice l

Lazy-KatAfter Hugo completed all the important information in one document, he immediately sent it to the special mobile application. He then logged out of his account and dialed his assistant's number.Cody immediately picks up his phone."Yes, boss?""Is there any news?" Hugo asks in a deep tone."W-wala pa rin, boss." ang sagot naman ni Cody sa kabilang linya."Is your skills on how to locate a person is that very poor and limited?""Boss?""Is it hard for you to locate where she is now?""Boss, diba may kasabihan tayo na kapag ang tao ay nagtatago at mahirap mahanap. Means, ayaw niyang magpahanap sa kung sino man, boss. Don't you hear that saying?" Cody said but deep inside, he was afraid and he was trembling with fear.Hugo narrowed his eyes. His face darkened. "You are saying that she was still hiding?""Yes, boss." sagot agad ni Cody."Then find her."Biglang nalaglag ang balikat ni Cody sa narinig. "Boss, ilang araw ko nang inimbistigahan at hinagilapā""You should find her, o
Look AlikeWhile Devi applied her very simple but elegant makeup, her phone buzzed.Dahil patapos na siya, she put down the makeup brush and reached out her phone. Immediately, Devi rolled her eyes, the message came from the head member of the special MOF app."Are you ready to see me tonight, Moon?" iyon ang natanggap niyang mensahe mula kay Mr. King.Mr. King already sent her a message twice, from the other day and yesterday. Ngunit hindi niya ito pinapansin. She never confirmed her attendance, ang nag confirm lang ay si Owl, Serenity at Fairy. She and King, no. The three idiots, Hunter, Winter, and Demon have no choice but also confirm their attendance. This means, her attendance is not that important, dahil anim na agad ang kumpirmadong pupunta."Mr. King, you only need five members but the member who confirmed reached six. I think I shouldn't have to go. And, I'm not that eager to meet the big boss behind the MOF robotic tune." Devi said nonchalantly."Oh, so mean, you are really
Banquet 1: Bronze Vs SilverKumatok si Cody ng tatlong beses sa pinto ng CEO office. Bago niya binuksan ang pinto ay bumuga muna siya ng malalim na hininga, saka niya tuloyang pinihit ang seradura. Pumasok siya at bahagyang tumungo."Boss, I think it's time for you to go." ani ni Cody kay Hugo.Hugo raised his head and looked at his wristwatch. It's already 08:40 P.m., which indicates that he really has to go to the BWA Fundraising Campaign Banquet.Hugo rose to his CEO swivel chair and reached his black coat. "Let's go," he said in a serious tone.Hugo was one of the special and important guests in the said banquet, even though he was not interested in going but as a top-ranked and influential businessman in the whole country, his presence is very important.When Hugo and Cody reached the private parking area of the company, Cody immediately opened the backseat of the Black Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV.When both of them were inside the car, Hugo's driver immediately opened the engine and
Banquet 2: Gold Vs. PlatinumKahit siguro takpan ni Dalia ang buong mukha nito ay makikilala pa rin s'ya ni Devi. Iyon ay dahil sa pangit na ugaling binibitbit nito sa kahit saan man ito magpunta. Dalia always flaunts her class but trashy status."Where is your manner, Ms. Miller?" Devi said and raised her eyebrows. "Is that how you behave in such an important banquet?" dagdag pa ni Devi rito."You... How did you know, I'm a Miller?" nagtataka nitong tanong kay Devi na hindi nito namukhaan nang dahil sa suot nito na maskara. Also, Favio looks curious about her.Devi points out Dalia's invitation which has a 'Miller's Group and Companies in it. "Isn't that obvious?""Oh, forget it! So, give us a way because our invitation is ahead of yours. Lower class!" She said at bahagya pa sana siya nitong banggain ngunit mabilis ang instinct at reflexes ni Devi.Instead of being pushed to one side, but in a quick lazy smooth move, everyone was surprised by a shocking turn of events. Dalia fell to
Banquet 3: Luna"Hey, do you know who she is?" Dalia was the one who reacted first.Umangat ang magandang korte ng kilay ng babaeng may hawak na platinum invitation. Ngumisi ito at mataray na humarap kay Dalia. "Yes, of course. Do you think I will come and stand for her right now? You? How about you, do you know her?" mataray na tanong ng babae kay Dalia.At the side, Devi was silent while enjoying the scenes.M*****a Vs. M*****a. At isa rin siyang m*****a na nag-anyong maamong pusa."H-hindi! Hindi ko siya kilala." nauutal at umiiling na sagot ni Dalia. She really wanted to hide that she already knew that it was Devi.The woman sneered. "What a joke! H-huh, but it's alright if you didn't know her.""S-so... Kilala mo talaga s'ya?" balik tanong pa rin ni Dalia habang nakatingin sa direksyon ni Devi."Are you deaf or an idiot?" harsh words come from the fierce woman.Dalia gritted her teeth.Salem did not expect the woman to say such words. "Miss, kung talagang magkakilala kayo... then
Banquet 4: Spill The Bean"Stop praising me and stop mentioning that name in public, or else ibubuko talaga kita sa mga magulang mo," Devi's threat."Stop threatening me! Look, wala namang tao malapit sa atin ah. And please, don't do that. My dad will forbid me to race a car!" Xillin said in a spoiled brat manner."Then call me Devi, not Luna.""Also call me Xelestine, not Xillin." Xillin retorts while pouting."Xillin is fine, katunog lang sa totoong pangalan mo," Devi said lazily.Xillin leered. "Alright, bahala ka. Basta, huwag na huwag mong mabanggit sa mga magulang ko ang pagiging racer ko.""Why are you so afraid? Wala naman akong balak na i-meet ang mga magulang mo, Your Highness."Xillin smiled smugly. "Oh, yeah. But, what if in the future? We don't know if there is a chance that you will meet them, diba?""Still, I'm not interested in meeting people with a high status.""Hey, my parents are the best. Even if they are very rich and influential people, they are always down to Ea
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

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."Youā your wife... Your wife, Mr. Ivanov?"Hugo nodded. "Yes, my wife.""Sāsure 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
