Chapter 15

EVEN early in the morning, Heart had already made arrangements to visit the hospital to check on her father who had undergone surgery. She had intended not to sleep last night, but exhaustion overcame her, causing her to fall asleep while waiting for an update from Lumeng.

When the young woman woke up, there were text messages from her mother, indicating that the operation had been completed, but her father hadn’t been brought back to his room yet. However, the doctor had reported that her father’s condition was stable. She felt immense relief upon receiving this news, and a weight lifted off her shoulders. Her worries had lessened, and she could focus on work, at least to some extent.

Heart was happy as she approached her mother in the hospital. “Mom,” she couldn’t help but smile, and her mother mirrored the same expression. They embraced each other tightly, on the verge of tears.

Heart glanced through the room’s window and saw her father surrounded by various medical equi

    Chapter 16 – LuxHe was even more regal than a king as he entered the restaurant, his eyebrows raised in arrogance. He decided to have breakfast there since he had lost his appetite at home, thanks to his wife’s ‘mood swings,’ which she considered “right” even when they were wrong. She even left despite their misunderstandings. In his mind, he wanted to make amends before going to work, but not anymore. He was always the one making the effort, even when he wasn’t in the wrong side. Perhaps Diana had gotten used to being pampered. Just because Diana was smart and wealthy, she constantly felt like she had to compete with him. What could possibly be wrong with him?“Oh!” a waitress screamed, and he watched as she dropped everything from her tray.“Bullshit!” he cursed angrily and gave the woman a sharp look. “You’re so stupid!”She froze, and everyone seemed frightened by the intensity of his shout. “You won’t receive your salary for a month!”He left the crying woman, who was cleaning u

    Chapter 17“Thank you,” Heart smiled as she said that and nodded, then looked at the meters on the dashboard.They were right in front of New Era, and Lux had stopped there. She was pleased with his kindness, but why was he so grumpy at Paz earlier?“Sir,” she said to him.He hummed.“Sir, will you not deduct a month’s salary from Paz? The one you bumped into earlier?”He looked at her, and her eyes widened. What did she just say?It was true that he had collided with Paz. She had clearly seen what happened from where she was standing in the restaurant a while ago. The way between the tables was wide. Each row of tables and chairs had its own path. That was the waitresses’ path, and on the left side was the exit to avoid collisions. In Lux and Paz’s case, there was no place to go because he occupied the entire aisle. An old man was standing beside him a while ago.Where would her co-worker go if she collided with the table?Being a waitress was really difficult, to be honest.

    Chapter 18HE LOOKED at Heart, and she was utterly terrified. She peered through the gap in the door as if watching an adult film.He turned to retrieve his smartphone from the bedside table, but now, Heart was watching him, her eyes wide open. He had thought she was asleep; she hadn't moved a tiny muscle earlier. So, she must have feigned sleep just to get a closer look at him. How audacious.He took a deep breath and clenched his fists."So, what's your plan, lady?" He asked her seriously.She blinked and bit her finger nervously."Open the door and let's have a clear conversation. I bet you didn't understand my rules when Vandros explained them to you."She opened the door but remained silent, gazing at him. He followed her with his intense gaze as he walked inside and picked up his smartphone.He looked at her as he walked back to the door, shaking his head. He was furious. None of his previous women had dared to do what she did – to recognize him. What's worse, she had pre

    Chapter 19Lux's head was still pounding when he was met by his childhood friend Vandros in the bar. He was inside a private suite, quiet. He could only hear the faint sounds of the band from the four small speakers placed in each corner of the ceiling.He tossed a deadly gaze at his best friend. He had many friends, but his friendship with Vandros was unique. They both knew that. This man was his most trusted confidant, except for his grandmother. But there were things he couldn't share with his grandmother, things he could only tell Vandros. He even thought he might find another trustworthy friend in Diana, but he was mistaken. He was the only one sharing his stories there, but he received nothing in return. Lux felt that Diana was selective in what stories she chose to share with him, and this had been going on for three long years."What's bothering you?" Vandros asked with a smile."You didn't make it clear to Heart," Lux said, taking a sip of his drink."I did," Vandros replied

    Chapter 20The young lady's forehead wrinkled as she registered the full extent of the man's sprawled body when she entered. Somehow, her nervousness had subsided a bit, even though she had just entered a stranger's presence. The security was quite tight; it was difficult to access the condo building, so it was impossible for someone else to be in the room.It was Mister Montesalvo!She took a step, and her foot landed on something sticky on the floor. She clapped her hands, and the lights turned on. It was something she had learned from him, clapping to control the lights automatically.She couldn't be mistaken about the person she saw, but she immediately glanced at his bare feet."Yuck! Vomit!" she exclaimed with a cringe.She had stepped on vomit! What was happening? She grimaced and closed her eyes, thinking that the owner of the vomit was probably good-looking, so it was okay. Maybe he had vomited because no one else was around. Perhaps he was intoxicated and had collapsed on th

    Chapter 21"He's telling you to come closer, fool!" Heart's inner voice warned. She stepped forward quickly before his mind could change and he would leave her. She hoped that God and his wife would forgive him, but she had no other option."Are you still safe?" he asked as she approached, and she nodded. She was still taking the pills the doctor had given her, not just the sleeping pills that didn't seem to work.Lux held her by the chin on both sides and then kissed her. She was hesitant at first because she hadn't even brushed her teeth. Her initial thought was not to respond to his kisses, but she did so because it was necessary.This man no longer deserved to be called Mister K. He was nothing like the toad that had grown a big belly. He was the complete opposite of what she had imagined. He was close to perfect in every way.HEART suddenly woke up and looked around. She was alone in the room, with no clothes on.She yawned and hugged the pillow. She wanted to go back to sleep be

It's the old woman's favorite spot because she enjoys watching the light green water of the swimming pool."How's Heart, my dear? Have you told her about the help I'm going to provide for her education?"He didn't respond. He was contemplating whether he should let her know or not, to avoid any further meetings. What's the point then? He had already met Heart, and she knew his identity. Why would he want to stop their deal if he still wanted to continue?"I'll talk to her about it some other time. She can't handle everything at once, Grandma."The old woman shrugged and took a sip of juice. "You're right. The help with her education will be there when she needs it. I have an idea. I will try to help all of our undergraduate employees to study again. Of course, I'll find sponsors first. We'll make Heart the model to inspire others to study as well."He nodded. It was a good idea. Lux always s

    Chapter 23“SIR,” Heart blurted out in surprise as she caught sight of Lux standing near her.“Y-Your Ser?” Lumeng asked, nodding at her in response.“Um, are you going to visit a friend, sir?” she asked nervously. Her mind raced with thoughts of what they usually did in her room, and it was affecting her more now. She felt exposed.“I am here to visit a friend’s father,” he replied, walking closer while slipping his hands into his pockets.His responses were annoying, making her feel a strange excitement, even though there was nothing particularly exciting about it. Was he referring to her and her father?She blinked and snapped herself out of her daze, realizing she was in front of her mother.“Uh, sir, this is my mom, Mom Lumeng. Mom, this is Sir M-Montesalvo,” she introduced, and she blushed even more when he called her mom, “Nay.”Nanay is mother.“Impressive name, sir,” Lumeng teased, causing Lux to laugh.She couldn’t help but smile at how baffled her mother was, looki

    20. SHIT. Lush Miguel put Ruth on the bed and pulled her feet. I’m sorry, but even though he has no experience, he can’t control himself. It’s not that he paid her but because he was really dying to have sex with her. He would get bored too, he knew. She screeched to what he did but he didn’t move. She clutched the towel to her chest and tried to hide her body. He took off his shirt while eyeing her, and then removed his shorts and boxers, too. He had expected Ruth’s eyes to widen when she saw his hard and erect manhood. He just never paid attention to her reaction and knelt on the floor. She immediately got up but he pulled her back and spread her legs. “I’ll show you something,” he smirked and pulled her towel. She didn’t do anything when he got it and just closed her eyes tightly, as he looked at her body. Fuck. He couldn’t wait to stretch her pussy so he could fuck her harder. He felt that Ruth was trying to close the thighs he was holding but he was trying to open

She felt breathless.“To the receptionist, ma’am,” the man replied.Embarrassed, she approached the receptionist. “Good evening, ma’am,” the woman greeted with a smile.“To the unit of Lush Miguel Montesalvo,” she said, trying not to show her nerves. She felt a pang of embarrassment; she hadn’t expected such a setup in Lush Miguel’s condo.“What’s your name?” the woman asked.“Ruth.”“Ruth?” The woman frowned.“Mirabelle, Ruth Mirabelle Eduardo.” She showed her ID.The woman smiled, “Yes, ma’am Mirabelle,” glancing at her ID. Ruth guessed that Lush Miguel had informed them. She tucked her ID back into her bag when someone suddenly touched her shoulder.Her arm moved automatically, delivering a slap to the man’s face. “Ouch!” he winced.Horror struck her as she realized it was her boss

    18.MELO entered the office with a paper in his hand. Lush’s eyebrows raised, only glanced at his secretary.“Another paperwork?” he asked, feeling tired.“I just need a sign, sir. This is from the utility department. This is a termination paper,” he explained.“Tear it,” he ordered, and Melo stood there in surprise.“Sir?”“Tear it. Is it for Mirabelle?”Melo nodded.“Rip it apart and return it to the head. Tell him not to waste my time on nonsense, a termination without a valid reason. What did it say?”Melo read the termination, “Miss Eduardo was absent for three consecutive days, and when she returned to work, she was on time for a day and really late the next day, leaving the comfort rooms untidy.”“Untidy his ass,” he retorted, causing Melo to hide a smile. “He’s using it for personal motives. Return it torn apart. Tell him to read the policy and bylaws.”“Yes, sir.”Melo turned away and he was left alone, leaning against a chair. It was within his head’s right to ter

    17.Ruth found herself scrutinized by the occupants of the President’s floor more intensely than being a criminal. It was her second time on that floor, and once again, mocking glances were directed her way. These individuals, accustomed to seeing familiar faces, likely comprised a high-ranking circle.She, a new face, assumed the appearance of a janitor.“Just constantly follow me. Lift your head, Miss Eduardo,” the man instructed, prompting her to obey. “You’re here for the boss and not for them.”She nodded, finding a lift in her spirits. It lightened the weight on her and her somewhat lowly identity.“Wait here,” the man said, pointing to a cubicle.Entering the boss’s office after a couple of knocks, he left her sitting in a chair, hands clasped. Her gaze seemed fixed at the door as if the surroundings were devoid of any other presence.“Come in,” the man who had accompanied her earlier said, so she stood up and walked toward the door. She grasped the doorknob and slowly turned i

    16.Ruth’s eyes widened in disbelief as she read the message from Lush Miguel. She was still half-asleep, but it felt like a nightmare. Could this be true? She read the message on her phone again: “Let’s do it tonight. I don’t mind your period. Tonight and tomorrow night. I’ll give you eighty thousand pesos.” Her eyes grew even wider as she realized what her boss was suggesting.Eighty thousand. Not bad for two nights. She couldn’t believe it. She wasn’t that beautiful. There were many more attractive women – sophisticated, with jobs and aspirations.He claimed not to care about her period. Ruth immediately stood up and checked her underwear. No period. Her uterus had been calm since yesterday.When she got home, she noticed her pad was empty. She sighed in relief and sat down. The text arrived at four in the morning. It was already five-thirty. Was that man sleeping, or was he thinking about her period and having sex with her?Baron’s memory saddened her.

    15.Lush Miguel tossed his keys onto the table near the sofa. Delight gave him a disapproving look, eyebrows arched, and a blank expression.“It’s too early, bro. Please, spare me from your lecture that I’m disrupting your night. It’s just…” he glanced at the wall clock, hanging on the beige wall, “7:47.”He lazily settled on the single sofa, and shortly after, a young girl came running towards him.“Tito Lush!” Nana exclaimed and immediately hugged him, almost tripping over her long nightgown.“Where’s Ate June?” He asked, looking around.“Still at the grocery store. Said she’s stuck in traffic.”“That explains,” he said, fixing the hem of Nana’s dress.“Explains what?” Delight furrowed his brows.“Explains why ky niece’s dress looks like it’s for Miss Universe.”Delight laughed at what he said and scratched his head. He really had no idea about being a father, so he wasn’t surprised that Nana’s dress looked like it was for a ten-year-old when she was only four.“What do you have fo

Baron would kill her if he found out what she did, that is if her husband is still alive.“Can’t we go tonight, Ruth?” Lush Miguel suddenly asked the young lady.
