Watching A Battle"You?" Alice shows her disappointment in an instant.Hindi akalain ni Alice na ang nasa blurred na larawan ay ganoon pala ang mukha. Para sa kanya, mas okay na lang na hindi niya nakita ang mukha ng isang Hugo Ivanov.Cody frowned. Sa nakikita niya sa expression ng babae ay para itong nadismaya."Ikaw si Hugo Ivanov? What a joke!" Alice still sounds and looks disappointed.Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ni Cody. 'Maganda sana, pangit naman ng ugali!' he thought while looking at the woman."Oh my god. Walang taste si Boss," Alice said and facepalm. "Sabi nila sa labas gwapo ka? Sus, parang 50 over 50 naman." Alice continues to mock Cody.Cody's jaw clenched. Umagang umaga may nagpapainit ng ulo niya. Biglang nawala ang paghanga niya sa babaeng may matalas na dila kung magsalita.Alice is still mockingly grinning. "Oh, alright. Don't be angry at me. I know, you are the CEO of such a very huge company here in Kana City. You are rich, powerful, and noble. Pero..." Alice click
After Ten HoursAlice instantly shuts her mouth. Dahil may ugali pa naman ang boss niya na totohanin ang bawat sinasabi nito. Takot lang niya rito.Cody at the side wants to chuckle. Akala kasi niya hindi natatakot kay Devi ang assistant nito na tinawag sa pangalang 'Alice'.'Alice pala huh?'"Let me correct you," suddenly, Hugo spoke. "I am not your boss's boyfriend, I am her fiancé instead."Alice was stunned and instantly surprised. Nanlalaki ang mga mata nitong tumingin kay Devi. "Boss, is it true?"Devi's lips twitched. She pressed her forehead as if she was having a headache. "If you three don't stop talking, you can get out and talk outside!" Devi says in a low but clear tone.Hugo cleared his throat. "Cody, go now and drag this woman with you." segunda naman ni Hugo.Alice frowned and took a look at her boss. "Boss, I came along here. Since last night I had no proper sleep and haven't eaten yet because I was very worried about you. I am also very tired of getting here a.s.a.p.
Lucca & Xillin's VersionAfter the doctor and nurse changed Xillin's dressing ay nagpaalam na ang mga ito at lumabas na."Luna... I mean, what happened to you, Devi? Why are you injured?" tanong ni Xillin kay Devi habang nakakunot ang noo nito."She was injured just because of you." Hugo was the one who spoke."Hugo!" Devi warned Hugo. Of course, Hugo did not know that she was hired by Xillin's father to secure her safety during the event.Hugo just pressed his lips into a straight line."I... I look after you, and encounter your attackers," Devi said.Napaawang ang bibig ni Xillin. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Devi. Hindi ko akalain na may nakabuntot na masamang nilalang sa akin kagabi. Nadamay ka pa tuloy sa panganib ng dahil sa akin.""It's fine. Let's just be thankful that nothing else bad happened to you." Devi said trying to ease Xillin's guilty feelings."Yuh. I'm very thankful right now. K-kung wala ka at kung hindi mo ako nahanap kagabi... I really don't know where I am today. And what
Corny!"Xillin!" Lucca was trying to hide his irritation at Xillin's stubbornness."What?!"Lucca sighed. "Alright, I know you are still angry at me but, will you please calm down?""Angry? Why am I getting angry at you? Bakit mo naman naisip na galit ako sa'yo? Mr. Bozzelli, all I want now is to have a private nurse to assist me. That has nothing to do with you!""Why do you need other people? Can't I do what they can do?" tanong ni Lucca rito."Why do I need other people? Of course, I have money, I can afford to pay even if I get thousands of nurses to assist while I am here at the hospital. And of course, you can do what they can do, but the problem is I don't want you to be here. I must accept the help of other people than you!" Xillin's straightforward answer.Lucca stared at Xillin deeply and unblinkingly. His Adam's apple bobbed. He didn't realize na darating ang araw na aayawan siya ni Xillin nang dahil sa nangyari sa nakaraan. Of course, he did something wrong in the past. Ano
Unwillingly Release After two days of staying at the hospital, Devi felt very bored lalo at si Hugo lang ang halos nakakaharap niya at nakakausap. She was thankful because Hugo was there when she couldn't walk, ngunit hindi na talaga niya kayang ang humiga ng humiga sa hospital bed niya.Hugo did not let her walk a little. Lagi itong nakabantay sa kanya. Susubukan pa lang niyang bumangon at maglakad-lakad ngunit palagi lang siyang nabibigo.Hugo's line is always. 'Do you want to stay here any longer?'Kahit pa sabihin niya na okay na ang mga paa niya at kaya na niya itong ilakad ng bahagya ay hindi pa rin siya nito sinasang-ayunan. But at that time, ayaw ng paawat ni Devi. Alam na alam naman kasi niya sa sarili niya na kaya na niya ang maglakad ng paunti-unti."Devi!" Hugo warned her when she was about to get up."Hindi mo ako mapipigilan ngayon. I want to get up. Now, move aside!" Devi said in a clear normal tone."You can't. The doctor said—""I want to get up!"Hugo clicked his ton
White CoatDevi immediately fixed her wrinkled hospital dress as she heard Alice's grumbling tone."Boss!" tawag muli ni Alice nang tuloyan na itong pumasok sa loob ng ward ni Devi.Devi cleared her throat and faced Alice seriously. "What's the matter?" Devi asks not looking in Alice's direction."Oh, why are you standing now? Okay na ba ang mga paa mo boss?" tanong ni Alice habang nakatingin sa direksyon ni Hugo at Devi."Y-yes... They are fine. A-and, Hugo helped me to walk a little." sagot ni Devi rito na hindi halos makatingin kay Alice ng diretsyo."Oh, that's good. Anyway, what happened to your face boss? Your lips are swollen and your cheeks are even flushed red?" tanong ni Alice habang nakatitig sa buong mukha ng boss niya."H-huh?" Devi stammered."Yeah. Yung labi mo parang kinagat ng maraming bubuyog. Anong nangyari diyan? Have you encountered allergies today?" Alice's innocent question.Mas lalong nanginit ang buong mukha ni Devi dahil sa mga tanong na iyon ni Alice.Hugo ju
White Coat 2Devi blinked her eyes and was shocked. "Y-Yanzy?""Yeah, it's me..." Yanzy got inside. Went near Devi on the side of the bed and ignored the people around them."H-how did you know I am here?" hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Devi sa kanyang nakikita."So, wala ka talaga pa lang balak na sabihin sa akin na may nangyaring masama sa 'yo? Kung hindi pa nadulas sa akin si Alice ay hindi ko talaga ito malalaman? How dare you, Devi! I'm so very worried about you. But you...""I-It's okay now. Look, I am fine. Balak ko namang sabihin sa 'yo pero kapag fully recover na ako. I know, you will be worried about me being hospitalized kaya minabuti ko munang itago sa 'yo ang totoo. But I swear, I'm fine now." Devi long explanation.At the side, Hugo is just staring at the two women talking as if there are no other people around them. While on the other side, Lacyd looks stiffened and very much surprised."Your feet! Is it okay?" tanong ni Yanzy. Lumapit ito sa paanan niya, binuksan nito an
The More You Hate, The More You Love!Yanzy's gulped. Her eyes look down at Lacyd's extended hand."Doctora Yanzy, he's asking for a shake hand. Come on, accept it. Pareho naman kayong Doctor." Alice suddenly speaks.Devi observed Yanzy's expression, and she also looked at Dr. Lacyd Forb's expression.Hugo also observed, and then suddenly he remembered something. Napapatango siya habang napapatingin sa dalawang nakikipagtitigan lang sa isa't isa. "Didn't you know each other?" wika ni Hugo na ikinabigla ng lahat, except Lacyd."Oh, really? May nakaraan ba kayo Dr. Lacyd and Dra. Yanzy?" namamanghang tanong ni Alice."No. I don't know him!" agarang wika ni Yanzy at saka ito nakipagtitigang muli kay Lacyd. She became serious and calm, and her eyes turned cold. "Hello, Dr. Lacyd." tinanggap niya ng pormal ang pakikipagkamay nito at wala pang limang segundo ng hilahin muli niya ang kamay mula rito.Devi, of course, felt something was amiss. She continued observing Yanzy and she simply glare
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."

"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.
