She went directly to the parking lot, hoping Mang Rogelio was waiting in the car. She didn't ask him earlier whether he preferred to wait for her until the party was over or go home first. She was about to grab her purse from her shoulder when she was startled. She noticed Vinz smoking a cigarette while leaning against a car.

He was also surprised to see her, but he just smiled, which made her shiver because of her sudden fear. He tossed the cigarette at his foot and stomped on it.

She looked away immediately. She hurriedly opened her purse to get the phone to call Mang Rogelio.

"Leaving so soon? The party's not over yet." He turned away from the car and began walking in her direction.

She became even more tense. She discovered her phone wasn't in her purse, and she tightly closed her eyes. When she threw her shoulder bag over her shoulder earlier before leaving for the party, she might have forgotten to bring it. She didn't have her phone with her, and her purse was empty.

    He gave her a soft kiss that seemed to make her want to relish every second. She let him lick her lips before joining in on every tongue motion he made. His head moved as he sucked her lower lip. Her neck is now being held by his two hands. She opened her mouth. His tongue touched hers in a split second while it was still in the opening of her mouth. She opened her mouth wider so that he could insert his tongue.The once-sweet kiss evolved into a bold one. She voluntarily encircled her arms around his neck. He briefly sucked her tongue before releasing it so that he could speak."You taste like wine. How many glasses of wine did you have?" That question didn't wait for an answer because he immediately kissed her lips again.She replied with a quiet moan. She was so hot that perhaps she had grown daring. He stopped kissing her when she licked his lips. Her hands approached the man's face. He opened his mouth wide after she licked it, allowing her tongue to enter.Sean gave it a warm we

    SEAN'S POVHis gaze followed Yazmin as she walked away. He really wanted to follow her so they could go home together.Of course, with Latonia standing next to him, he couldn't do that. He was aware that if he did, Yazmin would be the one in trouble, so he didn't want to raise the woman's suspicions.He looked at Latonia, who was glaring at him, when Yazmin had vanished from view."Let me take you home, Latonia," he offered, even though he knew she was bringing her own car."What's going on between you and that woman, Sean?""Let's stop this. My bruises sting, and I just want to lie in bed and rest. Let me take you home first." He didn't want to answer her question because he might not be able to deny his relationship with Yazmin. Better to just avoid answering."In case you haven't noticed, you have smeared lipstick on your lips."Shit!He automatically tried to wipe the lipstick off his lips with his fingers.When she got close to him, Latonia removed the lipstick from his lips and

    She had just gotten back from lunch when she walked into Mr. Rado's office, and she paused when she saw Lany and Latonia seated in the long chair."Miss Esguerra, thanks for the nice lunch." Lany said to Latonia.Inside Mr. Rado's office, the two were seated side by side in a comfortable chair in a corner. As soon as she walked in, they both turned to face her."Good afternoon, Miss Esguerra," she greeted the woman.The woman's smile started to fade as she was just staring at her. Lany continued speaking with Latonia. She instantly walked over to her desk and started using the laptop."By the way, Mr. Rado won't be here the entire afternoon, or he could, but he'll be back quite late. Please just finish what he asked you to do. We simply need your signature on those files." Lany instructed her."Miss Esguerra, I never expected you to take the time to invite me to lunch. I felt so awestruck. I'm just an ordinary employee, and you suddenly decided to buy me lunch." Latonia caught Lany's

    The following day, she arrived early. Even though it was only seven in the morning, she was already at work.When Lany and Mr. Rado arrived, it was eight o'clock. She stopped what she was doing to greet the two, even though it was a little awkward because of what happened yesterday. They didn't even give her a glance. She just turned her attention back to work.It didn't take long for Mr. Rado to stay and leave the office after a few minutes. She was left with Lany. With her hands on her hips, the woman walked up to her. She stood in front of her."How's the report coming?" Lany arched an eyebrow when she asked that.She felt that she was treating her differently. She chose to disregard that and respond to the woman's query."We need it tomorrow, first thing in the morning."She didn't say anything; she just nodded."Knock! Knock!" Both of them turned to the woman who was peering at the door while saying those words.Lany's face immediately brightened when she saw Latonia."Good morni

    She proudly handed Mr. Rado her completed report. Despite the fact that the amount of time available was insufficient for her to complete such a difficult report, she was pleased with herself for being able to achieve it.The elderly boss merely frowned. Without showing any interest, he simply laid the files face down on the table after scanning them. He was silent throughout.He spoke before she could ask him what she would do after that."Miss de Lara, I had no idea you were so ambitious. You're trying to seduce Mr. Montarde out of everyone else. Your innocent face hides something. Lany can't match your charisma, and you made good use of it." The old boss gave her a malicious glance.Her expression had a serious tone. What he was telling her didn't sit well with her. She thinks he's heard the rumor about her and Sean. She was certain that the rumor came from Lany."I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Rado. I'll be at my desk and will just wait for my next task."She decided

    She felt Lany's grip on her arm loosen. When the woman turned to face her, the terror was obvious on her face.Her voice was still trembling as she asked, "You're his w-wife?"Sean's furious face was focused on Lany. She was afraid of what Sean would do to Lany. She instantly used her body to block Lany's after she let go of her.She gripped Sean's arm right away, never taking her gaze off his face."Sean..." she softly called his name to stop him from doing whatever he was planning.He looked at her."Don't worry. I won't lay a finger on her. Security!"The guards immediately came and were already there."Take her out of the building. Miss Ramirez, I'll let this one slip for the moment. I don't want to ever see you near my wife!" Sean's voice trembled as he walked toward her.By the firmness of his grip on her arms, she could tell he was trying to control himself.She simply stroked one of his arms to calm him.The guards have approached Lany. Lany kept her arms away from them.Sean

    She was transferred to Sean's office. For her, he requested an additional table inside his office.She was forced to agree because everyone already knew that she was Sean's wife. If she moves on to another company, it would put a bad light on Sean.She is not required to work all day. She doesn't seem to be doing anything more than helping Sean's secretary with the administrative duties that Mrs. Nieves won't be able to do, especially on busy days.The elderly secretary was kind to her. She was shocked to learn that she was married to her boss, but she was also happy for them.Mr. Rado's office is currently vacant. Lany and her previous boss were not permitted to enter the building. They did, in fact, have a relationship, and it is not improbable that they were involved in the loss of a significant sum of money to the corporation.To establish his involvement in the illicit operations of his former boss and Lany, she intended to call her brother.

    When Sean abruptly pulled her with him into the pool, she was caught off guard. She even gasped in the cold water that soaked her clothes. Sean let her lips go as he bent to look at her dress's front buttons. One by one, he opened them.He frowned as he seriously unbuttoned her dress and stated, "You're still wearing your office clothes."She also didn't hesitate. Her hands entered his wet shirt and caressed his chest. He looked at her when her hands became more daring. They were staring at each other, their desires too clear in their eyes. She was biting her lip when one of her hands slid to his stomach."Damn, wifey!" He moaned softly and suddenly pulled her neck closer to give her a passionate kiss.The pressure of him sucking on her bottom lip caused her mouth to open. When he removed her top, their mouths did not separate. The bra she was wearing, which just about concealed the fullness of her healthy breasts, was all that was left.As he licked her neck, she groaned. While their

Both of them were nervous as they looked at the test results. Their eyes widened in disbelief when they saw the confirmation that Baby Alyanah was truly theirs.

    Because crying doesn't help, even though she was scared, she tried to stay calm. She looked out the window and watched the scenery as they passed by.Even the smallest details, she crammed into her mind, hoping they'd be useful if she ever got the chance to escape the man.Her gaze shifted back to the floor of the man’s car. She suddenly felt a surge of hope when she saw something that could help her if he tried to harm her.They had passed mostly wooded areas, and it was still very dark.She noticed Patrick glancing at her now and then."If you agree, we can run away. You can forget about your husband and kids. We can start our own family somewhere no one knows us. Where do you want? London? Australia?"She looked at him in disbelief. He must truly be insane.Instead of rejecting him, she just played along. It’s hard to anger people who seem to have mental problems."What about your job? What about Latonia?"

She was afraid to confront him, not knowing what could happen to her if he found out that she knew.She went to the police and submitted the evidence she had about the man. He was already listed in the blotter at the station, and she was just waiting for instructions on the next steps.She wanted to inform Sean so that he could accompany her.

    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 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

    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
