Chapter 1

Sherra's POV

Carrying a brewed coffee in my hands, I entered the office of my boss, Cheng Mo, who is a forty-five-year-old Chinese National but lives in the Philippines because his business was based here. Today is my first day as his secretary and I can say that he handles his employees very well.

I just graduated from college two days ago and I graduated with flying colors. After my celebration together with my best friend, Amy, and my boyfriend, Jared, I received a call from Mr. Cheng. He said that one of my former college professors recommended me to work for him. Mr. Cheng offered me to be his secretary with a proper amount of salary. I needed a job so I immediately accepted his offer.

When I was young, my dream was to work as a secretary in a big company. It's simply because I often watch shows where the secretaries are always wearing make-up, well dressed, and even wearing shoes with high heels. But as I grew up, I realized that secretaries are not the only ones who come to work with make-up, nice clothes, and wearing shoes and high heels. Although I already knew that fact, I still didn't lose my desire to be a secretary, so the course I took was Computer Secretarial, which I completed in four years. I don't regret that I took this course despite many people telling me that I am better suited to be a flight attendant because I am tall and beautiful. For me, what my heart desire is what I will follow.

It doesn't matter that my relatives and other close friends don't support me because my best friend Amy and my boyfriend Jared fully support me. Amy and I graduated together while Jared graduated one year before us and now he has a good position in the company where he works now.

The two didn't know that I already found a job because I hid it from them. Before I tell them about the job, I want to be sure that this job is for me and that I won't back out. And now that I see that my work as Mr. Cheng's secretary is a nice job, I will finally tell them that I have a job. I want to surprise them. I am sure that they will be surprised and happy for me because finally, I have fulfilled my dreams of becoming a secretary in a big company.

After my work, I called Amy to go to Jared's house so that I could surprise them with the good news I brought. I called her several times on her cell phone but she didn't answer my call.

"What is this girl doing and she's not answering my call?" I talked to myself after I sent her a message saying that we will meet at Jared's house. I thought about calling Jared too to let him know that Amy and I were going to his house but I suddenly changed my mind. I better surprise him to make it more fun.

I called a taxi and drove to the nearest church to pray for a while and give thanks for the grace I received from God. It's weekdays today so only a few people are inside the church and praying fervently. I chose an empty seat and knelt there. I thanked God for the blessings I receive from him. That even though I have no longer parents and I only supported myself so that I could finish my education, he still did not abandon me because he gave me two people who love me. For me, even though I don't have parents like others, I still have two people who love and support me tirelessly. So I'm happy and satisfied with what I have now.

While I was fervently praying, I suddenly felt as if there were eyes looking at me. I also felt it earlier when I'm entering the church. I felt as if there were eyes following my every move but I just ignored that feeling. I just thought that I'm being paranoid. But now I have a strong feeling that there are eyes that really watching me from the other side. I opened my eyes and looked around inside the church but I didn't see anyone looking at me or even someone who acted suspiciously. I just sighed and quickly finished my prayer because I'm being paranoid again.

When I left the church, I took a taxi and drove to the nearest cake shop to buy a cake for our celebration. I just let the taxi wait for me and ride again to Jared's house because it only took me a few minutes to buy. cake.

When I arrived at Jared's house, I smiled when I saw Amy's car parked outside his house. My best friend arrived at Jared's house before me. Maybe she immediately came straight here after reading my message. And I'm sure they're wondering now why I asked Amy to come to Jared's house.

I was about to knock on the door when suddenly I heard Amy's voice which seemed to be panting heavily. I wondered why my friend seems breathless. When I saw that the door was slightly open, I decided not to knock and just pushed the door gently to make her surprised. But I am the one who got surprised by what I saw. My eyes widened and my mouth is slightly open. My best friend and boyfriend are naked and doing miracles. Jared was on top of Amy and his body was swaying like he was riding a horse.

"Oh, Jared! Faster! I'm almost there," Amy's voice pleaded with Jared.

"I'm almost there, Sweetheart. It's coming out," Jared muttered as his body swayed faster on top of Amy. Unfortunately, they both did not notice my presence. They only focus on their worldly feelings.

I want to tie and then beat them but I don't seem to have the strength to do it. My whole body trembled with rage and my knees went weak at what I discovered. I don't know what I did wrong to make them do this to me. They betray me. I thought the support and love they gave me were real and honest, but it turned out to be a sham.

My feet seemed to have a mind of their own as they retreated on their own and walked away from Jared's house while I was crying. I walked down the road not knowing where I was going. And when I saw street children beside the road begging for food, I gave them the cake I bought. It's better to give it to these street children than to throw it away. I don't want to waste money just because I was hurt.

I don't know how far I walked before I decided to take a taxi and asked him to drop me in front of my house. But before we got to my house, the taxi I was riding suddenly breaks down so I decided to just get out and walk. It will only take five minutes of my time walking before I arrive in front of my house.

The weather seemed to sympathize with me because it suddenly started to drizzle until it finally rained heavily. I didn't mind the heavy downpour, instead, I was even happy because no one would see me crying while walking. Even though my heart was bleeding, my attention was still caught by the seeming commotion going on in the house of my neighbor that I passed by. Because the door of their house was open as well as their gate, I could clearly see the mess going on inside the house from the outside. I wiped my tears and approached the gate so that I could see clearly what was happening inside that house. Some men in black were inside the house of my neighbor and were holding the couple and seemed to be asking them about something. But I couldn't hear what they were talking about because it was raining heavily. I could only hear the whizz whoss of the pouring rain.

I want to laugh at myself. My heart is bleeding and yet, I was able to be curious about other people's stuff. This is how it is when you're a gossiper. Curiosity never goes away even with you have problems. I felt my head and eyes suddenly grow bigger when I saw the tall man who looked like the leader of the group suddenly dig out the couple's heart with his hands. I almost felt nauseous when I saw the hearts of my neighbors still beating. But what's even more disgusting is when the man suddenly ate the hearts. I couldn't stand it anymore so I vomits. But apparently, the man felt my presence so he suddenly turned his eyes to the gate where I am vomiting. On instinct, I suddenly ran fast. I know they will also kill me because I saw them killing my neighbors. I was so scared and didn't realize that I had already bypassed my house. But I'm afraid to go back because those scary people might follow me. I don't want them to know where my house is. I just hope that the man didn't recognize me because he only saw my face for about a second.

Now I believe in the saying that "curiosity kills the cat" because it looks like my curiosity will be a cause of my death. Fearing that those mysterious men might be following me, I suddenly entered the open gate of a large house. But my luck seems to have run out because the gate I entered was owned by a scary creature. A creature that looks like a human but has thick fur all over its body just like a dog with sharp fangs and sharp claws. I know what kind of creature it is. A werewolf. I never knew that werewolf is real because I only read about them in books and see them in movies. But the surprise wasn't over because the scary monster gradually turned into a normal person.

Kurt Contreras! my eyes widened as I scream in my mind when I recognized the werewolf when he suddenly transform into a handsome man. The man who is currently the fantasize of many women.
