Yul's POV
I woke up without any clothes and my bed is so messy.
I can still remember her moaning last night but it's not vivid. Argh! But I'm done with her now. I'm getting sick of remembering it. Anyway, where is she?
"Stacey?" I called her name while wearing my brief and boxer.
I looked up at her on the balcony, comfort room, and couch, but she wasn't there. So I decided to wash my face at the sink and I almost slip.
She's here.
"Hey," I called her in my husky voice, having no emotions at all.
She's now wearing a white blouse and black jeans. Her hair is straight, and blonde; while her eyes are different. The left side was brown and the right was blue.
"Sorry, I used your kitchen to cook breakfast 'cause my tummy is rumbling in hungriness. I also made some for you. Fried rice, bacon, and egg. Hope you like it," she said with a blank face. As if she's not shy talking to me.
"Is it always your job to intrude even on the personal space of your guest?" I said it with an angry tone.
I was back again with my old self after that long night. Arrogant, selfish, entitled, and all. The last thing I remember is I went out of the VVIP room with her and then wooff, my memory was gone.
"Why so odd?" she asked, and I just smiled bitterly.
"Why? Do I have to be sweet to you?" I said.
"You're overreacting, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?" she asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Just don't do it and leave."
She didn't listen to me. Instead, she took a contact lens from her bag. I thought that her eyes were already in a contact lens. Now I know that it was real.
Black is the color of that lens, and she wore it.
What for?
"I'm using a black eye to confuse people. You know, I don't want them to know my secret job," she explained.
"Why are you explaining things as if I care?" I said it plainly.
"'Cause you're looking as if you want an answer," she confidently responded.
"You must stop assuming things," I said and drank the milk she prepared.
She was done fixing her face and her hair, so she went to the door. I thought she'd leave, but I saw her staring at me.
I looked back with a black face, "Forgot something? Make it quick, I don't wanna see that face anymore."
"I just wanted to ask you. Are rich guys always like this? So full of yourselves?" she asked that bursting me into laughter.
I went to her closely until we were only inches apart, then I rest my palm on the door to corner her.
"Is this your first time having a billionaire guest? You know what, we're always like this. The attitude I showed to you is nothing compared to my whole personality. Be thankful. Yeah, I'm arrogant, and I have the rights," I said.
"How far will your pride take you? And please," she stops for a while and slightly pushed me, "Don't get your face near me, you're pungent smell is suffocating."
"You shouldn't be acting like that. What if someday you'll gonna need me?" I teased her, "In fact, you should be thankful that I'm still talking to you. You're such a waste of time, though."
She opened the door and my nose was hit by it! Motherf*cker b*tch!
"Hey! Watch it!" I said while holding my hurt nose.
"Didn't you know? THAT someday you were talking about had already happened. I needed you, and I need someone like you. Billionaire who's willing to pay me in exchange for sex. It's true and I admit it. But if it's you AGAIN, well, not anymore. Mark my word, I will never come to you again."
Stacey's POV
After doing my work with that weird, arrogant, insolent, entitled, and rich guy, I went straight to my school.
Yes, I'm still studying. I couldn't finish college 'cause I need to sacrifice and provide money for my family to study and eat.
I only took TESDA with a Caregiving course at Pony University so I could finally have a decent job.
"I don't want that offer," I said to Mr. Bald, who has been asking me to fill in. The contract needed a gorgeous woman with foreign blood. If I agree to this, I need to stop studying, get married to an arrogant guy, and provide him with a baby. I'm pretty enough to fill in the 'runaway fiancée '.
"You will earn a beautiful amount of money once you accepted the offer. Except for the 1 million pesos final payment, your family will receive a 40k pesos allowance and you will have 10k as well every month until you give birth. Aside from that, you will also receive a house and lot in Korea. What? Aren't you convinced?" he said. He almost got me! Huhu. I want to accept the offer.
"Argh! Why do I need to get married if I could just give him a child?" I said.
"Reputation of family Servano is in that marriage contract hands. The Servano family has a lot of enemies so for sure, once they find out some humiliating information about Servano, it will gonna be the end. Also, you will not receive the payment they promised. They just needed your trust," he said.
I now realize how powerful that family is.
"Just let me think before giving my decisions. It's tough," I said. I'm thinking about Cygnus. He proposed to me last night, what am I gonna do? He doesn't have the money to provide for my family's needs. I don't want to settle yet with him, but I felt guilty.
"What's keeping you from agreeing?" he asked.
"I might get damn. You said they don't want a hostess, right? So just let me think. Leave it to me. Until I know the perfect plans," I said.
I bid goodbye to Mr. Bald-- I mean, Mr. Oliver, after the meeting.
Kate is calling while I'm in a meeting, until now, so I answered it.
"Hey? Why'd you called? You knew I've been to a meeting, right?"
"AHHG! Finally, you answered! Where are you?" she asked through a call.
I went out of school and now I'm at the waiting shed for the Jeep.
"I'm outside school now, why?" I said.
"You should go home as soon as possible, Nando and Kim are fighting!" she said.
Now what? I wonder what's waiting for me in our house.
"What happened?" I asked.
"No more questions, just go home!" she said. Now, I'm starting to get annoyed.
"Okay, fine."
I hung up the call and started chasing a taxi so I could go home easily.
For sure there's a commotion happening in our house.
"We're here Mr. Driver, just stop the car right there," I said when we reached the corner of our street.
"Acting arrogant just because ate George gave you money? Leave the house now!" Nando said to Kim.
What the hell?
"You didn't listen to me so just die thinking that's my allowance!"
"Son of a b*tch, I'll kill you! You're out of respect, huh?" he said.
"I'm getting deaf because of you two! Here are the knives, you should just kill each other. You, Nando, have no right to drive Kim out of the house. Can you feed her? NO!" oh god, my mom is now getting in between.
I reached our house and Kate welcomed me. She always drops by our house once in a while. Kate is my best friend and enemy. She's also a hostess like me.
"So fast, huh?" I didn't bother to answer Kate and went straight to Nando and Kim, my siblings.
"What's happening to the both of you?" I asked.
"I saw Kim stealing money from your bag and she dared to lie in my face! She's even out of respect for me now! I'm older than her! This bitch is pissing me off," Nando said. I was furious but decided to keep my shit together.
"I said I'm not pilfering!" Kim defended. She's telling the truth.
"Nando, it's true. She didn't pilfer and I asked her to do something. What are you trying to prove, moron?" I asked.
"Maybe he's insecure because you're giving me an allowance and he's not," Kim said. What a liar bitch.
"Allowance?" I immediately utter.
"So that's what you are now, George? Just because you're tasting money you think you can act like that and forget about your family? Give Nando an allowance right now! Now I know why they almost killed each other, 'cause of your selfishness!" I rolled my eyes at Mom.
George is my real name. I'm a hostess or GRO: guest relations officer. In our industry, we shouldn't use our real name, so if something bad happens, our family is safe.
"Ma, it's not what you think. I gave Kim a duty and it's to pay our bills. Its due date is yesterday!" I said.
"You're lying now? Just give Nando his allowance to end this! I'm getting annoyed" said Mom.
"Kim, will you tell me what did you say to them about the money?" I asked her, but she was not answering me.
"See that, sis? I told you she's rude!" Nando added the fuel.
"My god just let go of your pride and grant them an allowance!" Mom said.
"I don't have any more money, ma. It's all gone! I paid our debts," I was about to go upstairs after saying those words, but Mom spoke again.
"You have your father's attitude. You're full of yourself and arrogant. Did you forget where you got all that money you're feeding us? You're JUST a hostess! Nothing can change that!" my ears went loud at that.
"JUST hostess?" I asked.
"What else do you want me to call you? Bitch? Slut? I wonder how many guys have tasted you. Didn't they smell you're rotting pussy?" is she my mom or am I adopted?
How could she say such a thing?
"Then go and do my job. I'm JUST a hostess, right? You should be wearing lingerie and do a sexy or lap dance to convince them for money to feed us!" I shouted. Even though I look like a rude daughter, I don't care anymore.
"You shithead how could you be impolite to your mother? You have no indulgence!" she continued.
"Do I have to? Is it my fault I was born?" I asked.
She slapped my left and right. My tears are starting to form a cloud.
"Am I at your age to be talking casually? You bitch!" she shouted.
"None of us in this family should have an indulgence towards you because you are the reason I was born! You are the reason why I have a hunchback for working nonstop!" I shouted back.
"Where did you get the guts to speak to me without honorifics anymore? HUH?" he asked.
"You. That's where I got the guts," I said.
"All my life... I offered to you my life. But you just responded in that way?" Mom asked.
"Ma..." Kim called Mom.
"And you, George, just because you have the money, you're making it hard for me to get at least 1k, huh?" Mom said with a grudge.
"I never kept the money for myself. Never. In fact," I stopped for a while and stepped a little closer to her, "You're indebted to a normal and wealthy life. Did I ever complain?"
After saying that, I got straight up to our 2nd floor.
"Hey sis, where are you going with that baggage? Are you going to be a spoiled brat now? You're not like that, right?" Nando said.
I held his hand and said, "Nando, you should fix what happened between you and Kim. You're much older so the initiation would always be yours," I said.
"I just hate Kim for being stubborn as a kid," he said.
"Just please be in charge and don't do anything stupid. I'll just call from time to time," I said.
"Text me once you needed something, ate. Okay? he said.
"Just don't let it happen again, I don't want that anymore," I reminded him again.
I left our house and went straight to the 9/13 convenience store. I'm waiting for Mr. Oliver.
"Hi, Stacey! I'm glad you accepted my offer. I'm sure you will never regret it especially since it's Yul Matthew Servano."
What did he just say? Yul? Who's Yul is he talking about?
I'm praying it's not him.
Please, Oh god! Hear me!
Stacey's POV"Hello, Nando? Have you received the money that I wired? Be responsible for spending that money. I'll be back soon," I reminded Nando on a phone call while waiting here in the dressing room. It's my wedding day. "Yes, ate! Trust me, I'll do everything you instruct me to do. Be careful while you're there, okay?" Nando responded."Okay, gotta go. Just keep me posted!" I hung up the call and hid it in my pouch.Today is my wedding day, so I'm wearing a tube-like white gown with marbles that serve as a design to it. It has a glittering effect. It is also styled like an off-shoulder but with mesh.I'm wearing simple make-up enough to distinguish my face's features. My beautiful eyes are visible because of the smoky eye effect they did on me. They emphasized my eye makeup because it's unique; it has different colors. I'm sure everyone will ask why I have this and I'm tired of it. "Look who's here. I thought you don't need my money anymore?" Yul said in a sarcastic tone. He's
Stacey's POVAfter the reception, we went straight to his mansion.His father told us to stay here because the house he provided for us was not yet fully furnished. Ugh!!! So much effort for a short time! It will only be put to waste, though.Now I feel guilty for fooling Mr. Yuno."Hello, hija! Are you his wife officially?" I was asked by an adult woman who just came from the kitchen, I guess?I believe it's his mother."Uhm, yes?" I answered with doubt. I just thought that this marriage, although it had a ceremony, was still fake. So I couldn't answer with full confidence."Seriously? Oh god! Look at you, you're such a fine woman!" she said, looking like she was so amazed by my looks, specifically my dazzling eyes. Her eyes were shouting compliments like she was astonished."Thank you, Tita," I simply replied.I looked at Yul to see his reaction, but he remained calm as he was looking away from his mother.I'm wearing a black backless dress now, but it's only a short length. My wavy
Stacey's POVI was awakened by the water he splashed on my face."F*CK! CAN YOU JUST SHAKE MY BODY?" I said while wiping my face.He strikes my face with cardboard like he's not hearing what I just said. ARRRGGG! I almost give up my cool! This bastard is showing me how impudent he is."Here. This is what you needed to do for me. Kindly do it as fast as possible. Don't worry, you'll still get paid," he said and immediately left his room.I bet he's on the way to some of his important meetings 'cause he's wearing formal attire. However, how could he leave me after just throwing some to-do list? AHCKKKK! HE'S SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS!I'm still in the mood of sleeping so I'm not yet moving from the place he left me. I was about to ignore his reminder and go back to sleep until he called me."What?!" I asked after picking it up."Have you started doing my number 1 order?" he asked right away."Y-yes! Of course, I did.""Liar. Read order number one to me out loud. NOW!" he said and my ears a
Yul's POV"Whoooo! Such a hot babe!" I said to a girl I'm hitting tonight, then I whistled.I'm at the Zebra. This is a place where hostess girls, but with class-A beauty work. I went here after work.I always go to a nightclub just to have fun. But since the day I was arranged, my singlehood routine has changed, This is why I hate being married!Stacey is nowhere to be seen as well. I don't care about her for now."Am I making you horny?" she said in a seductive voice."You sure are," I replied and then continued to dance. I'm grinding at her ass and it makes me even hornier. My libidinous is going up!"Do you wanna make it real?" she whispered."For free?" she was vexed by what I'd said, so she stopped dancing."Why? You insist, right?" I asked again since she became quiet."Huh? For free? You look rich but seriously stingy!" she said and then faced me. We were both shocked when we saw each other!"Stacey?""Yul?""What are you doing here?" she asked me as if she had the right! God,
Stacey's POV"This is the list of what you're going to do. Since you're still young in this field, I'm here to help you. No worries," said Yul's employer.Yep, I'm his PERMANENT assistant now. I'm wearing an outfit that looked like Ms. Minchin's but in a modern version. Slacks, fitted buttoned blouse, and heels."Before anything else, may I know where's Yul?" I asked. I need to see him 'cause he's the only one I will follow."So sorry, Ms. Stacey. He's in the meeting right now and what's in your hand is his next appointment so you should prioritize and organize it right now," he said sarcastically.This person I'm talking to right now is a TOTAL stranger to me 'cause he didn't even give me his name? I don't think he's a 'he' either."But I don't know how to do this," I said."Hi, Gerry!" Harry butted in. Is he a mushroom or what? Why is he appearing just like that?"Hey, boss! What is for today's agenda?" Gerry asked in an annoying little voice. See? I knew he was not a guy."Nothing,
Yul's POV"This is your payment for today, you can go now and leave my house immediately," I said to the girl I had just f*cked in my room.It's very tiring to do this shit only to let myself believe I'm still right, and the emotions I'm feeling towards her are just a mistake. It's confusing to face it all alone.Hence, I'm also thinking stupid thoughts. Did I ever hurt her feelings? Does she also feel the same way as I did having a strange fluttering on my chest when she's beside me?"Are you even listening?!" I was cut by Jane. She's not leaving yet?"Come again?" she rolled her eyes and threw the money in my face. I gave a glaring look."DON'T START ME, YUL! You're the one who's at fault. Giving a PAPER as a form of payment? You're a multimillionaire, aren't you?!" she said.I want to punch this girl 'cause she's nosy and feeling superior! I want to rip her throat open and salvage her at the river. Someone like her deserves it!But since she's a girl, I just punched the wall fighti
Stacey's POV2:00 in the morning. I'm lying here in his comfort room. 'Cause of this spacious room, I'm able to lie down and sleep. I've been doing this for 3 weeks.It's also been weeks since Yul started selling me to a bunch of riches men. I bet they're one of his clients. My cunt is so tired of it. It's getting itchy and red. I don't know what to do.This is the very first time I felt humiliated by my own job. I used to do this for so long and managed to keep my virginity. However, these unplanned appointments that Yul is continuously giving me led me to finally lose them."Hi, Nando, how are you guys doing?" I asked in a phone call, having exhausted my voice tone."We're doing fine, ate! Thank God you called. You know what, mama is now taking therapy. Kim and I are now on good terms. However, almost all of the debt collectors are coming here. So the 40,000 we always get from you is becoming 10,000," he explained. Aaahck! Those debts...Someday, I will lose 'em. I just need more ti
Stacey's POVIt's been three days since the day he talked nicely to me. He's now being himself, torturing me through a to-do list every day. But it doesn't have to be that simple. It's bringing me heavy headaches!"Here's your schedule for today. Make sure to organize my meetings too," he plainly said after throwing a piece of cardboard with the lists of persons wanting to schedule an appointment with him."Is this all?" I asked, trying to make him feel like I'm a courageous woman who doesn't give up.I know this is part of his plan to send me away from him, but I won't fall for it."Yes. Don't be too comfortable," he said while buttoning up his clothes.Before he left, he looked at me."Having some thoughts?" I asked, and he shook his head. He didn't bid goodbye and I just saw him walking away from me.I admit it. Our first day together made me feel special and important. I thought I had already captured his heart, and it's easy now to dupe him for money.But he isn't that type of pe
George's POV. Damn... Yul Matthew came here? How did he discover Harry's haven?Shut the fuck up!He wasn't supposed to be here...A while ago, when we met, I just gave him a taste of his wife's body. I know he's been longing for this for a very long time, and I also wanted him. But it happened so fast, that we didn't get to experience the climax point of intimacy, I went back to Harry's house here on the beach.Now, Yul's out there. He's watching us creepily."It's a dangerous animal for everyone, but it's a pet for me." Harry breaks the silence. "Hmm... what do you mean? Is it a snake too?" I asked. His brows furrowed."No, it's not. It's the Servano Family's signature. Mine is more vicious."It's a shark.It was swimming freely, as it was supposed to, but in an ocean, with a threat in its eyes.Gosh, what did Harry do to this animal? Something's off. It has long and sharp teeth, I can feel like in one bite, it could kill me. What the fuck..."I hate to say this, I feel like
Yul's POVAs the knife penetrates my skin, I can't help but get down on my knees.However, I had to stand up again because my wife's life was on the verge of death. I stood up as Harry tried to stab Yancy. Using the gun I had in my pocket, I tried to shoot him. Cops' alarm rang in the area, now, Harry's gone insane, and he immediately ran away.But he looked back, checking up on George."You're not going away now!" I shouted as I ran towards him.I ran as fast as I could, but he was faster, as he had no injury to endure. "Are you a superhero?" asked Flint as he tried to support.The ambulance came, and I looked at George.Flint insisted on helping me, and I was told to rest beside him. But I won't let anyone near her again, I went beside her.---Inside the ambulance, I feel like there's something weird looking at us. I know it was him, but should I mind?Ahhckk... I didn't realize I fell asleep.But where are we now?---That sound... why is it so noisy?Are they crying?"What
Yul's POV.I'm unstoppable now.You're hurting my girl, you're hurting me.Since Cara started all of this, I came to her first."We need her."Oops, let me rephrase that--- I need to kill her."Hey!" She was excited to see me, while George was only watching from afar. Cara hugged me. "I thought you already left me."I disengaged from her hug, looked at her straight into her eyes, caressed her long black hair, and without blinking my eyes, I pulled the trigger at her eyes. She was still shivering, but in a few minutes, she would die."I won't shoot you again as a respect. But as a respect to my dead children, go and peacefully die."I have no mercy left.This is where he hid my family's worth of money.George went in as soon as I shot Cara, and she helped me take all the money."Is this necessary?" she asked."Yes, and I'm just taking back what was originally mine. I'm just one step ahead of my plan, and they triggered me to do all of this." I will face those who killed and hurt my ch
George's POV."Cara is responsible for the death of our children, Hyeri and Yael. She hired Helius to be her accomplice, to kill Yael. She asked her assistant, Belle, to do the job of killing Hyeri." He was angry. His voice is bold and he is ready to fight them all."What do you mean? How did she kill Hyeri?" I asked, shivering. "Well, she put a medicine in Hyeri's dextrose, that single medicine instantly kills Hyeri." His breathing is not normal, as well as me.Why am I just finding out this?"WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY TO HYERI?!" I can't help but think of all the possibilities... "So what could really happen to Hyeri if they didn't intervene? Did you also know that?"He sighed deeply. "I found out recently, that Hyeri can be saved through the medication, your choice back then could really save her." His tears went out.And mine continuously flows down my cheeks."HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO MY INNOCENT CHILDREN?!" I shouted and hit the two guys in front of me."You should blame the one
Yul's POV.Finally... she's still safe.I saw them coming out of the comfort room. I can feel his suffocating grip on George's hand.I tried to pull George away from Harry, but he was fighting. After causing a ruckus outside the comfort room, there's no way I will fail."What's happening here?" an officer asked. God... what should I do? This is out of my hand now. Why didn't I expect an officer to come here?I disturbed a peaceful family having a break from the city, and it's going nowhere.I won't fail this time. Suddenly, without giving a second thought, I pulled George again away from Harry and ran away.What else could I lose?I've given this a lot of thought, and coming here to the beach is part of the plan. ---Phew, I'm out of breath. She smiled, but she was trying to hold herself. "No one's stopping you from laughing. Come on!" I said as we hid behind the shelves of the library. We're actually at the corner of the shelves, and no one will suspect we're here. Besides, t
George's POV.Who the fuck is behind the door?!I'm really fucked up. DAMN IT!"What took you so long? Housekeeping!" OH CRAP!Damn it, Yul Matthew, you should've known better."What do you mean HOUSEKEEPING, Flint? Are you serious? How did you know I rented this room?!" said Yul. Oh my god, his friend is with him? Oh no... did he suspect Yul?This guy is dead, I'll kill him as soon as I get out of here!"I just want to give you this." I heard nothing after that, and a couple of minutes later, I heard knocks. I'm not responding yet. Oh, crap! I'm pretty nervous right now. I don't know what to think!"It's me, George. Come out now." Phew! At least he felt the bursting beat of my heart. As I went out of the bathroom, I decided to go. But he pulled me closer."What now, Yul?" I asked."You'll just leave?" he sneered. "Well, what should we do next?" I came closer. "We almost get caught by your best friend! Hear me out, he even supported your relationship with Cara, and you wanted
George's POV.Hmm... the smell of the sea always gets me. It still brings me peace like it usually does. I remember this is where my family went to reconcile and escape from Cara's dark schemes. But look, here I am again, finding that peace in the place I never found peace with. "Thanks for coming with me." Harry rested his head on my shoulder while caressing my arm. I felt disgusted."Do I have a choice?" I asked.He looked at me, surprised. "What do you mean?""Don't ask. I just want peace, Harry. Give it to me for once." I was furious, hoping he would get how I felt without further explanation. "Do you ever love me, George?" He asked. Now I know, this is the conversation we should be talking.I looked at him nonchalantly, "Do you want me to answer that? You'll regret it."---Yul's POV."Where did you go?" I asked Cara after giving her a peck. "Oh, I went out for a smoke. I was hoping you and I could go to the beach with my father, it's his resort, I believe." She asked. "Re
George's POV.Silently, I crept into my room. I continuously gulped, I couldn't stop.I have been waiting for Yul to announce his relationship with Cara in public, so badly... it's like... I've been waiting for my favorite series to release the next episode.Now that he did, I'm crying.Stupid George! I'm so fucking stupid.Why am I even concerned about it? GOD! What he said earlier is still echoing in my head..."She's my business partner, and of course, the one and only, love of my life. Ladies and gentlemen, my girlfriend."...and voila! Yul Matthew Servano kissed that fucking slut, Cara.Where did he get his guts to do things he couldn't do to me?Ahhck... my chest hurts again."Ahhh... so tiring. You know what happened earlier in that shitty party? Damn, they were praising the Servano family! I was the most influential, yet they praised the wrong company." Jeez, he started it again. I almost forgot his presence. Good thing, he spoke.I wiped my tears and helped him undress."Don'
George's POV.I crossed my arms as I was glaring at him.Then I finally realized what I had just done. Am I crazy? Damn! Why did I come all the way here just to tell Yul Matthew that I'm jealous of Cara?!I looked away, trying to escape from the humiliation."Arghh... s-sorry..." I said. I can see from my peripherals that he's looking at me. Now that I turned my body away from him and was about to open the cubicle, someone came into the comfort room. SHIT!I had to close it again.He pulled me closer, his hands were on my right arm and left part of my stomach."Jeez, the heat you're producing is insane!" I whispered and tried to push him away. But instead, he rests his chin on my shoulder."So? Isn't that exciting? Thrilling? Enjoying? " My heart is beating so fast! I think I'm getting near to dying.Yul's hand traveled to my neck, gently choking me. DAMN! HE'S TURNING ME ON! I winced."Servano!" I whispered. But this time, I ride along.My body is now facing his, still gently choking
