"Darks or Lights?"

"Huh?" I looked at Ashley, who was standing near the Top Shelf Liquor section of the bar. She's there to assist the bartender.

I met Ashley earlier when I started my job here at the club as a waitress. She's a waitress too, but over time, Ruru assigned her to handle the expensive drinks.

"Lisa! Were you not listening to my explanation earlier?" She waved the black cloth she was holding in front of my face. "Top Shelf Liquor can be divided into two categories! Darks and Lights. The Darks include Scotch, Brandy, and Whiskey, while the Lights are Gin, Tequila, and Vodka," she explained once again.

I nodded to move the conversation along, her words were barely audible over the DJ's music and the people dancing on the floor.

She's the only person who calls me Lisa. She said Cali sounds too common, Cal makes me sound like a guy, she doesn't like Lis because it's too short, and Lista makes me sound like a list of debts.

Lisa it is.

    "I said, beer and cocktail for the lady, please," he whispered with seduction overflowing from his sexy, husky voice. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my neck, his lips dangerously close to my ear.It's infuriating. I wanted to push back, but I couldn't because I knew he was doing this on purpose.First, so I could hear him.And second, if I pushed him away and defended myself, saying he was harassing me, I would never win. He might even turn the story around, and I'd end up being the one in trouble.I cleared my throat. "Okay, Sir," I didn't whisper, making sure he heard me loud and clear.He just gave me his amused smile before releasing my waist.I quickly turned away and focused on where I was going. I didn't even look back, but before I could get out of their hearing distance, I heard his friends' comments. They had no shame, their voices loud as if they were making a point."That's what they call, the legend of the fucking dickhead.""Are you erect or some-fuck-thing?"I

    The chilling night breeze sent shivers down my spine. It's almost eleven, and I'm outside the club, feeling uneasy. I quicken my pace down the dimly lit street, the shadows of the buildings offering no comfort.I talked to Ruru about what happened earlier, and he advised me to rest and go home. Maybe I'm just stressed.I'm grateful that the club manager understands, and she's really kind. Otherwise, I might have lost my job.I told Mike and the manager that I'll pay for the broken bottle, but they insisted on deducting it from my salary. I agreed, since it was my fault.I forgot to bring a jacket or a hoodie in case it rains. It gets really cold at night, and I'm only wearing a thin baby blue t-shirt and fitted jeans. I changed my clothes earlier, I didn't want to go home in that outfit.I'm looking for a ride to Irithel's house to pick up my son, who's probably wondering where I am.I can't bear to see my son cry, but I'd rather let him cry than let him go hungry.I caused a lot of e

    The houses in this subdivision aren't close together, so it's strange that the houses in this row, including mine, are burning."Ma'am, can you tell me the cause of the fire?" I asked an older woman in a hurry, walking towards me."It started at the electric post, dear. At first, it was just a power outage, but after a few seconds, the lights in the houses flickered, and the ceiling caught fire first," the old woman explained, carrying a bundle of clothes. "Only the houses connected to that post were affected," she pointed to the distant post. I could see someone investigating it below."Thank you..."She left.I took one last look at my burning house before shaking my head in pain and just started to walk away.Why should we stay here any longer? Should I prioritize the house over my son's well-being? There's nothing more I can do; I can't command the fire to stop.When we reached the exit of the subdivision, I stopped walking, Zon whispered to me, thinking he would lull me back to s

    Those fierce magnetic eyes held mine in a very ferocious way. The music kept pulsating, and the dancing lights continued to sparkle, but some people did stop in their tracks."Daddy, ahm—Momma! Momma, Daddy—I wanna go to Daddy..." he kicked his little feet in the air while pointing at Lazarus, as if he wanted me to go there or he wanted me to put him down on the floor so he could run to his father, who was calmly seated on a round sofa with his so-called cousins.I saw Lazarus get up, causing the girl who was sitting on his lap to almost fall. She seemed annoyed by his sudden action.Every pair of eyes now judging us affected me more than the humiliation I caused earlier.When Lazarus and I locked eyes again, I wasted no time and quickly walked to where Ashley was."Ash! Please, help me," I nervously pleaded as I first sat Zon on the counter right in front of me."Momma! I saw Daddy! Let's go to Daddy!" he was still kicking the air and pointing to who was behind me now. He was so rest

    Chapter 16"Don't act innocent, Isaiah, as if you didn't see Laki's latest trending scandal," Daumier crossed his bulky arms. He looked cool, wearing a relaxed smile."Ugh?" Saul added, making a pained but oddly pleased expression, which led them into continuous laughter.It was chilly, but Lazarus' grip on my arm remained warm. I wanted to resist, but I couldn't. I needed that warmth."You guys are so noisy."My heart softened as I looked up at Lazarus, who rested his pinkish cheek on Zon's head. He finally let go of my arm and opened the front seat's door. He gestured for me to go in, so I silently obeyed him.As I got in, he gently handed Zon to me. I still couldn't believe how peacefully he was sleeping despite the noise around us.Luzon was sitting on my lap, his little body leaning against my average one. Once Zon was comfortably positioned on my thigh, Lazarus closed the door.The window was down, so I could freely hear their conversation."Man, I really thought Ruin would be t

    Chapter 17It's been two days since we've been here at Lazarus' condo.For the sake of my son, I stayed.During these two days, Lazarus did nothing but immerse himself in his laptop. He's always in the kitchen, seated at the six-seat dining table.My Mom called yesterday to say she sent money, but I couldn't go out.So, I decided to text Ashley since we exchanged numbers the first time we got close. I messaged her to claim the money and also to ask for three days off from work, since Lazarus didn't allow me to work last night.I really don't know what his problem is. It's like he's keeping me and my son here against our will.I know he only needs his son, and he's only reluctantly keeping me here because that's what Luzon wants. He can't get rid of me because Luzon might go with me.So, this is what he's doing to me.I need to save up quickly so I can rent even just a small room that would be enough for me and my son. But it seems like I won't be able to save up right away because of

    Chapter 18Is Mr. Lazarus Cavanaugh married?Who's the secret woman of the world's youngest billionaire?Stolen photos of me, my son, and especially Lazarus were on the newspapers and magazines. The shots weren't very clear, and I didn't read everything there. Just some titles, I guess.Why do these kinds of information spread so quickly?I composed myself before leaving the kitchen, and just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.It's probably Ashley.I hurriedly made my way to the door of Lazarus's condo unit and let Ashley in.But instead of seeing Ashley, it was someone else."Sidon, right?" I asked through hesitation.He's wearing a simple black jacket and ripped jeans. His hair was wet, and some parts of his clothes seemed like he just took a shower or got caught in the rain earlier."Yeah," he nodded and scratched his head as if embarrassed."What do you need?""You're the one who needs something from me," he gave me a kind smile that no man could ever copy.

    Chapter 19"Brother, may I borrow your son for a while?"Zon has been clinging to Laki's lower thigh as if he didn't want to let go.It's three in the afternoon, and Zon just woke up from his nap around one in the afternoon when we suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell. When I opened the door, I saw Laki.He didn't even seem surprised to see me and my son here."Daddy, puh-lease?" Zon tightened his hug around Laki's thigh like a monkey, but my son was just too cute and adorable to be compared to a monkey."Laki, if I find out my son got involved in human trafficking, you won't leave this cell," Lazarus' stern voice filled the entire kitchen as he worked on his laptop.He's not shirtless this time. He's wearing a white tank top and grey sweatpants that look like he just finished exercising. His biceps were so prominent, almost begging me to touch them, but there's no way I would ever do that.I still haven't forgotten what happened yesterday, so I covered my neck with my hair, which

    Chapter 110"What do you want to eat? We have plenty of food, baby. Do you want me to add more so you have more options?" Lazarus' calm voice revealed impatience and desperation to find out what was wrong with me."N-No..."He seemed to finally lose patience with me, which is why he kissed me on the lips hastily, repeating it over and over. It was intense and warm despite my continuous sobbing and our lips, both swollen, pressed together.He rested our foreheads together, catching his breath from the intense kissing even though I didn't kiss him back because I was preoccupied with crying."What do you want, hm? I'll buy it," he said, then bit my reddened and swollen lips firmly."I-I want... Yubari King Melon," my voice still trembled as I held my not-so-large baby bump."What's that?" he asked quickly, seeming very eager to know what I wanted to eat so he could buy it right away."I-It's a melon, Lazi...""How much?"I hesitated to tell him the price, especially since he would have t

    Chapter 109Hidden ChapterDruggedBefore Lazarus and I got married, it wasn't that easy to gain the trust of my parents, aunts, and other relatives for Lazarus.Aunt Lauren almost filed a case against him. She had found out about what happened when I was just sixteen years old, that he raped me, and that's why he hadn't asked me to marry him yet. He wanted to clear everything before he'd let me into his troubled life.I was not raped.It was my fault that it happened.The ecstasy. If I hadn't mixed the drug in his drink, then it wouldn't have made sense for him to take my virginity.He was drugged; ecstasy was irresistible when it had full control of a person's body. I knew some effects of ecstasy that a person might experience.Including paranoia, aggression, and psychosis. And more.Muscle aches and stiffness, increased energy and confidence, sweating, increased body temperature, feelings of closeness to others, dilated pupils, loss of appetite, heightened sensations. Those were th

I can't stay away from him."Lazarus. There are ten more sacks of rice outside, please bring them inside," said my old lady boss who owns a small rice shop."Is there anything else?" I asked even though my clothes were soaked with my own sweat. "I still want to work.""Don't worry, son. I'll increase your salary in two," he said before going inside.I worked.

I want to see her innocent face wince in pleasure and pain.It was amazing when he followed my wishes without complaining.My body grew hotter as if it had a mind of its own and knew that the woman I was fantasizing about was very close.I took her to the condo because it is illegal to let women into the dorm. the condo that belongs to my father but I will make sure that next time I will take him to my own condo."Lie down," my eyes lit up as I let him into the room and pointed to my bed.the bed was just behind him and he just felt like I wanted to push him begging and he looked at me innocently.Those innocent eyes.

I was standing in front of his study table while he was sitting in his chair and wearing reading glasses. Reading some files and reports.what comes out of the contour of his tongue is not funny. I think he still has plans to control my future.I have no dreams. I don't know what course I will take in college."Dad, why not Laki? O Kuya Law, he's the eldest. he should be the next one to run the company," my voice was full of fake respect. I tried to respect him.I know none of my siblings are interested in running our family business.Money could fuck our lives up."Laki don't take business seriously and Law wants to proceed law after graduating a four year course in college," he reasoned, pushing me more and forcing me to follow his footsteps."How about Kry?""She's too young... and stubborn," he shook his head slightly as he continued to read the reports

I don't know but even though it's cold here, I'm getting too hot.After a few minutes, I could feel his tongue becoming violent and angry. He was licking and sucking it as if my juice was coming out like a condense.My lips parted and I didn't realize I was moaning, calling his name.I gripped the sack of rice beneath me when I felt his tongue had found its way to get inside. My back was bent because of what he was doing.His tongue was a punisher.I gripped his soft and strong hair like how I grip the sack of rice beneath me with my other hand. I was almost there and he kept thrusting his tongue in and out of me.I felt my whole body tremble when he took me out and only used his tongue.My whole body was still sweating, panting and shaking when he climbed onto the sacks of rice that served as our

    Chapter 104I saw Senyor Saturnino's expression darken. "I won't allow Laki's child to become my grandchild," he groaned.Perhaps he knew that Laki's children would be even more troublesome than Lazarus' if ever that rascal had kids. If Luzon had a delicate way of pronouncing the letter r, baby Praise had a slang way.Almost all the dishes of pork and chicken were already served on the large table in the grand dining room of the hacienda."Grandpa, can't we really do it?" I heard Lazarus ask beside me.He'd been asking about something I had no clue about since earlier. Maybe it was something only he and Senyor Saturnino knew."No, my dear," Senyor Saturnino promptly replied before taking a sip of water. "It's not allowed here in the hacienda or in your room."I have no idea what they're talking about so I just focused my attention to baby Praise, wiping some oatmeal off her pinkish chubby cheeks.Luzon was noisy and kept on calling Nayda to prepare his fried chicken for later.

She, she's the reason why all of those bad and painful things happened to me. She's also the reason why I was where I was.Kiana had told me last week about her condition and informed me of everything she knew, including the location and name of the mental hospital where Samantha's mental health was being monitored safely.I wanted to face her now because this afternoon, Lazarus and my children and I will be leaving for Compostela Valley, to his Grandpa's hacienda.I left the three of them in our house, instructed them to pack our things, and told Lazarus where I was going.

    Chapter 102"Call me 'tita' for now. Just tell me if my asshole, pussy, fucked up, moron husband tries to blackmail you."Unbelievable, but she treated me the same as before. Very straightforward. Initially, I had a different impression of her based on some words she said.The words a person uses can define them, but it's not always true.It reminded me of the people I encounter on the streets. Just because they're angry and not in a good mood, it doesn't mean they're bad people.I should have gotten to know them first. When I did, I wouldn't judge them based on what they seemed to be.Never judge a person without knowing the story of their past.We talked for half an hour. I fervently prayed that baby Praise wouldn't say any bad words, but unfortunately, she did. In front of Tita Ysa.I thought she might get angry and scold me for allowing my child to say those things, but no, she laughed and looked surprised instead. She even asked baby Praise to say it again. She's impossible.She
