His forehead furrowed as he read the information provided by the investigator about Patrick de Asis.

He already felt a strong aversion toward him when he saw him again with Yazmin. However, it wasn't just jealousy that drove him to have the man investigated.

Apparently, Patrick was doing quite well in life. In fact, he was a business partner in one of Latonia's father's enterprises.

His brows furrowed even deeper. Could the two of them know each other?

What a small world!

But why did they seem like strangers when they were in the clinic together? He shrugged.

Maybe it was only Latonia's father and Patrick who were acquainted.

He shook his head as he discovered that Patrick had three settled cases. He had been reported by three women for stalking them.

He knew it! There was something off about the man, especially the way he looked at Yazmin. Based on the report, the man had an obsession with the women he fancied.

He wouldn't stop to the point of stalking them, which ex

    She was stunned when the cab Dino and she were riding in came to a stop at a motel. He grabbed her arm to assist her in exiting the vehicle while she was still in shock.

Dino handed the payment to the old driver. She waited for the car to leave before speaking.She softly questioned her fiance, "W-why are we here again?"She lost count of how many times he took her there throughout their six-year relationship, despite her repeated refusals.Dino pleadedly said, "Yaz, give me what I want. Our wedding is next month, right?""That's right. You've already waited six years, so how long will we wait to fulfill your request legally? How long is one month?"He remained silent. She could even make out the gaping of his jaws when he turned to face another way.The tone of the man's voice was a mix of sullenness and fury. "Are you alwa

    That evening, Dino still hadn't returned her calls or texts, which made her restless. In fact, it appears that he even turned the phone off so that she could no longer get in touch with him.She was still at home alone at nine o'clock in the evening, even though their parents had to be returning from Manila by then.Because their home was too quiet, she became even more restless. She had given her decision from that evening a lot of thought. She made a decision and stood up from lying down.She'll visit Dino's rented property.

    The conversation between her and Dino did not happen because she immediately filed for a leave from work for three days. It was good and it was approved right away, so she just left for Manila all of a sudden.Her alibi to her parents was that she had to attend a last-minute lecture in Manila. Dino, on the other hand, keeps calling her but she doesn't answer. Dino can't go to her right away because he's at work. She took advantage of that since she no longer wanted to interact with him anymore.She went to Manila to meet with Sheena. Sheena was a classmate and friend since elementary school.

    The next afternoon, Sheena was already busy fixing her. She took another shower and used a blow dryer to dry her hair. Sheena styled her hair and let the loose waves fall. She applied a color, which she initially rejected, but Sheena insisted that it was temporary. She claimed that in order to make her look different, they must first change the color of her black hair.She didn't say a word anymore and just let her friend continue with her work. On her, she applied lipstick. It seemed to be a little thick, so that it took a little while to remove. She only nodded. Despite the thickness of her makeup, she was happy with it. When she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she felt like a different person.Around five in the afternoon, Sheena finished fixing her. Sheena made her wear the clothes she would wear later. She was right. That dress was too short and daring. Her cleavage is visible. She wanted to wear a blazer to cover it up."What do you have to say? Don't be shy because y

    She slammed the cards down on the table in frustration. "Damn it!" Minda exclaimed angrily. It seemed like she had only won once that day. Bad luck was following her around. Suddenly, the baby lying on her lap, held with just one hand, let out a piercing cry. The sound grated on her nerves. If she weren’t earning money because of this child, she would have gotten rid of it long ago. Besides, she was waiting for the one million pesos payment from Miss Beautiful. Finally, she could get out of this babysitting job. She had never dreamed of taking care of a child at her age. In fact, she had once persuaded Divina to abort her first pregnancy. She almost jumped when the baby's cries grew louder. "Hey, Minda! Feed your grandchild already. It looks starving!" yelled a driver, annoyed by the noise. She was still at the jeepney stop. Even though she wasn’t begging anymore—thanks to the generous woman interested in the baby—she still hung around there. Why? Because she had be

    She stayed in that dark corner while holding the baby.She didn’t know what to do with it. It was all Patrick’s fault—letting the baby live.She only used the man when she noticed how much he idolized her, practically worshiping the ground she walked on.It all started with a dummy account. She couldn’t move on after learning that Sean’s employee, whom she thought was an ordinary staff member, was actually his wife.Her father had been hoping Sean would end up with her. When she and Sean were together, everything seemed fine. Even though she heard rumors of him flirting with others, she didn’t mind much.After all, they played the same game. She didn’t want to be tied to one person either. She had her fair share of flings while in a relationship with Sean.But over time, she began to hope that he would take her seriously. She stopped entertaining other men and acted like the perfect, loyal girlfriend.She thought everything would fall into place, but then she started noticing how clos

    He glanced down at the woman who was occupied with bringing him joy. The woman's head was bouncing up and down on his two hands as she sucked his manhood. Her hot mouth and moist tongue made him bite his lip hard. "Ahhh! Suck it! Hmmmph! Ahhrghh!" he said. His hardness was being stroked by her hands as well. He was also adjusting it there when he sensed that she was going to eat away at his entire manhood. She abruptly shifted from her spot in the center of his thighs. Since she wasn't wearing a bra, she taunts him with her attractive big breasts.Her stiff, hard nipples were sticking out, and it was clear that she had not worn a bra when she first came. He had already appreciated that about her. When he was with her, he was always horny. Since the lady has a reason, it appears that her goal is to constantly turn him on.He had countless fantasies about her gorgeous body, but he never imagined that he would actually taste it. He was aware that his appearance paled in

    The baby's cry was loud. The sound of its wailing stirred her consciousness. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids."The baby's alive!" A woman's voice exclaimed.Hearing this, she summoned all her strength to open her eyes, even if just halfway. Though her vision was blurred, she saw a woman in white holding a crying baby.She smiled faintly.My baby... she thought.She attempted to lift her hand, but it was too heavy to move. Her gaze fell on the baby's tiny foot. Before losing consciousness again, she saw, albeit faintly, the image of a brown mark on the baby's sole.She smiled once more before succumbing to sleep.She suddenly woke up, eyes wide open. She bolted upright, despite Sean's arms still wrapped around her. Pulling the blanket off her husband's body, she rushed to check his sole.There it was! She saw the small heart-shaped mark on the sole of his foot. Her fingers traced the mark, and tears began to fall. In her dream, she had seen the same mark on the sole of their ch

    Patrick picked her up in front of a convenience store. He said they were going to meet the woman who had also given birth at St. Therese Clinic the same day she was taken there.Sitting in Patrick's car, she was overly self-conscious as she adjusted the scarf around her neck. She wanted to be annoyed at Sean, but she couldn’t help smiling whenever she remembered his words."You're still mine..."That line kept echoing in her ears. Miraculously, even though she had left him alone with Latonia, she didn’t feel a shred of worry. She was certain Sean wouldn’t give in to his ex’s flirtations.Were all her doubts about her husband back then merely a result of her pregnancy? Or perhaps they stemmed from her insecurities about her body during that time, making her feel Sean might look at someone else. Adding to it was the manipulation from a dummy account that eventually led her to deactivate her social media account after giving birth. She wanted peace of mind and even changed her number to
