[Rated SPG - 18 +] Chapter 1 - The Kidnapping "I'm so tired of us, Corelle. I'm so tired of you." I stared at my boyfriend. Dalawang taon. 2 years. 2 fucking long years of torture, abuse, and manipulation. Now he wants out? Nanatili ang mariin kong tingin sa kanya habang madrama siyang umiiling. Ang mga paa ko ay nag-ugat na sa sahig at hindi ko na maalis ang tingin ko sa kanya. Hindi dahil nasasaktan ako kundi nanggagalaiti ako sa galit. I'm scatching and livid to an extent. The audacity?! Where did he get it? Saan siya nakabili ng lakas ng loob? Ang kapal ng mukha niya! Mas makapal pa sa kalyo ng hardinero namin. Siya pa talaga ang napagod, huh? Paano naman ako? Pagod na pagod ganoon? "Are you serious?" "Mukha ba kong nagbibiro, Corelle? Pagod na ko. Nakakapagod ka." he said it so dramatically that I wanna take his eyes ou
Chapter 2 - The Engagement "Ma'am, ito na ho ang hinihingi niyong sunglasses." Ngumisi ako sa sarili ko at kinuha ang butterfly glasses na hiniling ko. The billionare who kidnapped me AKA Niccolò Derrano Caruso gave me maids, butlers, and bodyguards who are ready for my every bidding. Isang sabi ko lang sa mga bagay na gusto ko, binibigay agad nila. It’s like they’ve been programmed to follow me. Ang hindi lang nila magawa ay ang hayaan akong umalis dito. Things really escalated quickly. One minute I was tied to the bed, but now look at me — enjoying the view of the city, sipping my lemonade. I didn’t feel like I’m being held as a hostage. Bukod sa para nga lang akong nagbabakasyon na ngayon, payapa pa ang buhay ko. I’ve been here for almost a week, and sometimes Niccolò visits from time to time. Kagaya ngayon. Tinitigan ko siya. Nakatalikod siya sa akin at mayroong kau
18+ Chapter 3 “Are you really sure about this, Corelle?” My mother kept asking the same questions over and over again. Magsusuot na ako ng wedding gown lahat lahat at inaayos na ang mahabang belo ko sa kabilang kwarto, iyon pa rin ang topic niya. Keep up naman, Mommy. Hindi ko tatakbuhan at iiwan sa altar si Ander. Kawawa naman. Isa pa, kung magiging miserable man ang pagsasamang ito, makukuha ko naman ang lahat ng pribiliheyo na maibibigay niya kaya hindi na rin talo. If I were to be honest, inaasam ko rin na makapiling siya sa kama! Hello! Sigurado akong magaling ‘yon. “Tita, hindi na ‘yan aatras.” Selena uttered as she strutted towards us. I smirked. She knows me. She knows how determined I am. Even though she’s not buying all my reasons and thus whirlwind romance bullshit I have with the billionaire Niccolò, she’s not st
Chapter 4 - The Post"Tired already?"Hinihingal kong sinipat ko si Ander. He's topless. Dressed only with a black boxer shorts, his ruffled hair, and his somnolent forest eyes.My eyes narrowed as I wiped my sweat and thought of the things we did during our honeymoon. We had lots of sex. Yes. Wild, intense, and fiery sex. That compensated for all the anger I experienced during our thirteen hour trip to California. When we went to his duplex in Beverly Hills, my anger was immediately casted away.Tapos... Halos wala kaming ginawa! We ate... And then weeat each other. Minsan, hindu magkaaway pero madalas ay nagbabangayan taga kami.Though, I can say na never naman siyang naging pabaya. But, it's too early to say that, righ
Chapter 5 - The CeremonyThe trip to Lake Como is a bit longer than usual, at least according to Ander. Sa sobrang pagkainip niya ay nag-check siya sa stock market ng maaari niyang bilhin at pagaksayahan ng oras. He even bought a new airplane... While we're inside his private jet!Talk about rich!"Sobrang yaman mo talaga.""What's mine is yours, Corelle... So technically, we're rich.""So billionaire na rin ako?""Yeah,""Should I do some shopping pagdating natin doon? Or let's go on a tour!""I'd like that, but we're there for the ceremony.Besides, we need to go home
Chapter 6 - Back Home"Corelle," Ander pulled me closer to him. It's already 8 am. We're set to have breakfast in the mansion then we'll immediately fly back to Manila.He did what he had to do here, and now — like he said, we need to keep making appearances as a couple and as an individuals seeking improvement in our worlds.I groaned and pushed him away, trying to see him.His hair is unkempt. His eyes — sleepy and tired, yet the way his eyelashes flutter on top of it made him look more angelic even though his every features scream roughness. His calloused palm tried to catch my wrist, and even though I tried to get away, he tightened his grip on my waist."I don't think we're supposed to be this close at mornings
Chapter 7 - Fueled by VengeanceSa sobrang saya ko, halos hindi ako nakatulog sa gabing 'yon. Kausap ko si Selena magdamag para sa pag-oorganisa ng lahat ng bagay na kailangan namin.Every step of the way, we have to plan our revenge. We need to make sure that everything will be followed."I also need to study the La Stessa Cosa's structure and operations." That's what I kept telling myself.If I wanted to get to the bottom of this and inflict pain to the three musketeers, I must in all ways should go inside and in depth of the group that they are working for and protecting.Excited ako. Iyon ang totoo. Ang tagal kong nagtiis sa isang toxic relationship kay Guzman dahil kay Daddy. Sobrang dami kong iningatan at tiniis dahil lang ayaw kong magalit at madisappoint ang ibang tao sa akin. Pero sila ba, ni minsa — inisip nila ako? Sinaalang-alang ba ako?"My mom's better off without my father. However, he is nothing without my mom." I
Chapter 8 - Training "What were you thinking?" Ander growled.Yumuko ako, hindi kayang tignan si Ander. He's just so mad — livid to an extent. He took off his coat and unbuttoned his dress shirt. I remained stiff. Tila ako maamong tupa ngayon eh! Natatakot na baka kapag nagsalita ako, mas magalit siya.Guzman used to be like this. Kaya hindi ko na sinusubukan na magsalita pa."You could have been hurt." I can sense that he's trying to calm his nerves. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang nagsumbong sa kanya. It's either Guzman and Kuya Stan or the Range Master.I understood why he's like this. I could have compromised his other men's safety. I could get hurt. I could...He towered over me while I sit on the edge of our king sized bed. I look like a child — being scolded for whatever reason, but according to his eyes and his anger, he just wouldn't let this thing go.Umigting ang panga niya habang pinagmamasda
