The Billionaire's Mistress (ENGLISH) 28
Chapter 28NOTE: Sir, just eat there. I cooked a meal and rice. I need to leave early. I have to go back to DSWD to line up. You can come back before I go to work if you want to have fun. Take care on your way home, sir.He smirked, staring at the sticky note plastered onto the door. He raised an eyebrow but glanced at the watch he was wearing.Have fun? Did she just call it love making? Or maybe Heart just wasn’t used to saying the word ‘sex.’ He wasn’t blind to not notice that it wasn’t explicit.He wondered if the woman had slept, or perhaps he was the one who was asleep, so he didn’t notice if she had joined him in bed.He removed the sticky note and carried it with him as he left the room. He walked to the kitchen to eat. He was quite hungry, especially since he hadn’t eaten last night due to his frustration with Diana. Even his grandmother hardly spoke because of their arguments as a married couple.And now he would taste the food Heart had cooked. He opened the dish cabinet. It

Chapter 29Heart was exhausted after a day of taking care of things. The results of her efforts were positive. Her father’s hospital bill had been reduced by eighty thousand pesos. The agency had called the hospital, and there was now a voucher for eighty thousand.The doctor had already restitched her father’s wound. Her mother assured her that it was fine. She was walking in the condo lobby when she suddenly felt dizzy and weak, but she tried to call her siblings to check on them.Lexus answered her call, which brought a smile to her face. “Ate,” he warmly greeted her.“Is that Lexi?”“Yes, Ate, she’s in the living room working on a project. We have a lot of assignments, Ate.”“You can do it. Study well, and I’ll take care of you,” she said as she entered the elevator. However, she felt unsteady as the elevator moved, and she had to lean against the wall.The dizziness passed, and she composed herself. She was just so tired, juggling so many roles in life.“Yes, Ate. Has Dad come ou

Chapter 30Heart's eyes flickered open, greeted by a bright light. She groaned and asked Lux, "What happened?""Thank God, you're awake!" Lux exclaimed, even though he himself was momentarily blinded by the light. He was holding a magazine and quickly rose from a sofa. Heart, still dazed, wondered why they weren't in the condo anymore.As Lux approached, he repeatedly checked her and gently pressed his hand to her forehead. She had passed out, and she now remembered that. But it all felt like a dream, and she couldn't be sure if it had really happened or not.She blinked at Lux as he lifted his face to look her in the eyes. "You're not too hot anymore," he said with a smile.Heart just nodded, saying, "Thanks for bringing me here, but I wish you took me back to the condo. It adds to my expenses.""Jesus, Heart," Lux stood upright, seemingly irritated, "Even now that you're unwell, you're worried about expenses? Will you try to relax just for now?"She remained silent, avoiding his gaz

Chapter 31Heart was surprised when the door suddenly opened while she was having her blood drawn. It was already seven in the morning, and she hadn’t eaten yet.Manang Siony went downstairs to buy some hot soup from a nearby eatery close to the hospital.“Good morning, Heart!” her friends greeted her in unison when they saw her.She laughed upon seeing them, with Gigi at the forefront. “You all are so early,” she said, hardly feeling the pain when the needle pricked her vein.“Well, of course. We can’t miss the sight of your beautiful face even in the morning,” her best friend remarked, but she noticed the guy behind the group.She frowned while sneaking a peek. “Bombay is with you,” Gigi whispered, rolling her eyes.“Let it go, there’s nothing we can do. You’ll just end up fighting.”“He’s so persistent, like a barnacle.”“What happened to you, Heart?” Aiza asked.At that moment, Franco put away his cell phone and faced her. The guy smiled at her.“I just missed my sweetheart,” he s

Chapter 32“Bye, sir!” One of his female employees in the lobby said when he passed by, yet he remained stern and grumpy. He just glanced at her.He couldn’t fake a smile, damn it! He’d been in a foul mood since this morning. At first, he couldn’t understand why he felt that way, but as moments passed, as if there were images flashing inside his mind, he realized what was ticking him off.He was feeling it all wrong. It wasn’t right because he was annoyed when he arrived at the hospital earlier and bumped into that damn Franco Rodriguez, his hand caressing Heart’s head.He’s possessive. In his mind, he was concluding that Heart was his. She’s his woman, damn it! No one else should be touching Heart, just him.Why was that man acting like he was her boyfriend? Maybe Heart was lying to him. Maybe that Franco guy really had a relationship with her.And she didn’t protest about the wedding. He, the fool, even offered to be a sponsor, then he got annoyed at his own words.And until now, he

Chapter 33“JERK!”Lux’s eyes widened as he lifted himself from the bed, and a flying calculator hit him in the face. He dodged, but it landed on his chest. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, staring at his furious, poised wife.“How dare you talk about me with those people?! What do you know about counseling? So, what are you telling your friends, that I have a problem?!” She angrily exclaimed, her eyes blazing.She stood by the office table, seemingly packing her bag, but it ended up as ammunition against him.“Will you damn calm down and explain that thing to me? Will you?” he asked in a tone that he couldn’t determine as anger or calm.“Why don’t you explain it yourself, Lux? Why are you discussing counseling with them? Do you have a problem with me?” she asked boldly.“Ask yourself,” he replied emotionlessly and flicked the comforter, “If you ever throw something at me again, Diana, don’t show your face to me. Maybe I won’t spare you.”Lux’s face darkened, as did his g

Chapter 34She blinked back her tears, wiping her eyes with her fingers, so that no one entering the room could see her cry. But that’s how the person found her when the door opened.It’s him!Heart’s lips quivered, and her chest was overwhelmed with a strange nervousness, a feeling she only experienced when they looked at each other. Perhaps that was the real heart attack.“Are you crying?” He asked, slightly pausing while closing the door.She shook her head but quickly sniffled. She felt foolish.“Damn. What’s wrong?” He asked with concern, moving closer to her.Lux immediately reached out for her and examined her face.“Do you have any pain?” He asked as he looked her over.She shook her head and remained silent. What could she say? She didn’t want to admit the truth. But it hurt when he didn’t respond. Was that right? No, it was wrong. She shouldn’t be feeling anything; that was their deal. She was crossing a line by admitting this for the second time.Worse things could happen.

Chapter 35He pushed the door of the office when he didn’t find his secretary at her table, but he was halted when he saw luggage on the floor, just in front of a teenager. She’s wearing a black jumper and a white cap, hair was parted and dangling in front of her chest. “What the hell are you doing here, lady?” He raised an eyebrow as he questioned the teenage girl. She just looked at him, so he closed the door.Katy had grown so much, and at sixteen, she was remarkably beautiful. She looked like a beauty queen, sitting on a sofa with a very straight back and crossed legs, she could pass as a Bb. Pilipinas candidate.“What are you doing here, Katyleene Anne?” He asked seriously, using her full name, but she suddenly burst into tears. “Jesus,” he muttered and approached her. He removed her hat and examined her. “Kuya,” she said, sniffling again, but suddenly covered her mouth as if she was about to vomit.Lux felt like he’d been hit with a bucket of ice. He couldn’t move as his sister

The Billionaire's Mistress (ENGLISH) Other Man - 46
46.RUTH accepted a handshake offered by the manager, Vaughn Andaya. She was sitting in front of the man, who was in a swivel chair. She applied for a position at SM as a sales lady for an expensive clothesline worn by politicians in their area. A button-down shirt costs four thousand pesos. Today is her interview, and she just got hired a month after returning home from Manila to Camarines Sur. She’s in Naga City searching for a job and doesn’t want to stay idle at home.Her relatives are furious with Baron, and they say that if he shows up, he’ll face consequences from Uncle Ernesto. They may not have pure blood relatives, but their relationship with each other is invaluable, especially for her, a considered orphan of the family. Her family is protecting her, especially now that they know the story about Baron.The people from Cam Sur have a different attitude—brave and unyielding. If Baron sets foot in their area, he’s in for a surprise. Vaughn smiled at her during the handshake, b

45.RUTH is holding her resignation letter, planning to give it to Lush Miguel. Patricia, facing her, reads the letter. “This is an urgent resignation letter, Miss Eduardo. It says you have something to attend to and will be away for a while. Where to?” Patricia asks with a smirk.“Confidential, Ma’am. I’ll be traveling today,” Ruth responds.“Okay. If that’s your decision, it’s hard to stop you. I don’t know your personal life and problems,” Patricia signs the letter without hesitation.Surprised, Ruth asks, “Won’t you submit it to the CEO?”“Nope,” Patricia shakes her head, “Lush had given me all the authority to decide as long as it’s under my supervision. In your case, since you’re under me, I’ll handle it. Besides, there are plenty who can replace you. Good luck.”Ruth nods and forces a smile. All the authority is with Patricia. Why should she be surprised? Patricia is probably the woman Lush mentioned as new, just unwilling to tell her.She turns away, heavy-hearted, wal

44.FINISHED.He took a deep breath as Ruth gradually disappeared from his sight. Seated in his car, he waited like a thief, watching her run away with Muse’s cage.That’s all he could do, gaze at the girl from afar because, despite his anger, he genuinely loved her. Even in anger, he couldn’t insult or speak hurtful words to her.His respect for Ruth remained high despite everything, knowing she deserved it. Now, he envied Baron. That asshole's spouse was kind, and he hoped to find another Ruth someday, but not now.Lush badly needed time to heal, and the process wouldn’t be easy. He was sure of that because he was deeply hurt in his first experience of love.The young man lazily started the car engine, but he didn’t go in. He would go home, where his parents and Babuela were. He owed his parents an explanation. At thirty-one, he felt the need for a mother’s care. He needed his Mommy.When he arrived home, his shoulders still slumped. As soon as he entered the portico, his Mommy was

43.1Ruth was startled when the door opened, and Lush’s imposing figure loomed over her. “Oh my!” she exclaimed, supporting the young man who peeked at her and smiled. He playfully tapped her nose with his index finger.“Hold on a moment,” she said, closing the door. “We can’t go upstairs; the stairs are too high, and we might both tumble down. Let’s sleep downstairs. Wait, I’ll get the blankets. Have a seat.”Hurriedly, she assisted him to sit on the sofa. He groaned and shook his head, but the young woman quickly went upstairs to retrieve the thick comforter from the bed.Descending again with the items, including Lush’s replacement clothes, she handed him the bottle of alcohol he still clutched.“I’ll take that,” she said, grabbing the bottle.He closed his eyes, his cheeks flushed. He remained the most handsome drunk she had ever seen.“Did you drive home like this? You’re really drunk. Next time, don’t get overly intoxicated. You might stumble or lose balance,” she lectured whi

43.Lush choked on saliva. He couldn't find any words to respond to Ricky. Tearfully, he averted his gaze to hide his eyes. Did she lie to him? Did she conceal her real status? Her profile claimed she was single. Did she forget to update it? Damn! He wanted to rub his face, feeling suffocated. Is he serious about his feelings? Why is fate playing with him like this? The woman he loves is Baron's wife?Damn it!He almost clenched his fists. He wanted to cry and almost wanted to slap himself."Wait, Rick," he hastily excused himself from his friend and walked briskly towards the table with various expensive drinks.He stood in front of it, on the verge of tears. Is there another Ruth Eduardo in the world? Who?He couldn't explain his feelings. He was angry. Why did Ruth deceive him? If that's what happened?He grabbed a wine glass and drank. Unsatisfied, he took another and drank again. He repeated this to numb the pain in his heart. The time with Ruth might have been brief, but he knew

42.Lush Miguel remained nonchalant, lounging. He was still in a four-post position. Ruth was sleeping after four rounds in bed. She was upstairs, and he left her momentarily. He went downstairs to have some coffee now.He grinned as he remembered her annoyance earlier when he introduced Patricia in the lobby as the supervisor. Ruth was jealous of the woman, and he found it amusing. Ruth already had feelings for him, but she was reluctant to admit it. He felt a different kind of joy when he heard the girl sulking in the bathroom earlier.He used to dislike having someone chase after him. He didn’t want anyone to be possessive, but now, he was proud of it. To the point that Ruth didn’t fence him in, and she didn’t hide. Luckily, he overheard her.He took the coffee cup and sipped, but he looked at the stairs when he saw Ruth descending.She was wearing his long sleeves, buttoning a few buttons.“Why are you still lounging?” she asked, obviously sleepy, with no slippers on.He glanced a

41.The last message Lush Miguel sent her was when he mentioned driving his grandmother back home. It’s now ten in the morning, and the coffee break is over. She’s inside the restroom, yet there’s still no update.She’s also waiting for that. It’s a big miracle that she’s not being talked about in the entire company now because of what happened the other day. She’s been waiting to hear something since yesterday. She even told Berna about it so she wouldn’t be surprised.So far, Montevez has remained a peaceful environment for her, especially now that Dennis is no longer around.“Hey.”She winced and stopped mopping the floor as Berna approached her.“Come on, hurry. Your boyfriend is there with another girl!” Berna waved at her, causing her to furrow her brow.Lush?She quickly walked to the door and went outside. The janitors gathered in the lobby, all staring at a beautiful girl. She wasn’t tall, but her skin was exceptionally smooth. She was chubby and had blonde, long hair.She ca

40.“IF I were you, go to the party, so your ex won’t have anything to say,” Ruth told Lush while talking on the cellphone. He was already in the hospital while she was in the penthouse. It was late, and she was alone. All lights were on because she had no company, but she wasn’t scared. He had a companion—the cat. It was amusing that when she asked Lush to take Muse from the condo, it was promptly done by Lush’s bodyguard.“Damn. I really don’t want to go there, sweetie.”“It’ll just be a moment,” she said, though deep down, she didn’t want him to go.Oh God! She gets jealous at the thought of Lush fooling around with that woman, Annelyn or any woman, but he can’t do anything about it. She wants to push him away so that if they break up, it would be easier for both of them.Ruth feels like she has a bomb in her head, a life-threatening illness, that could end any moment. As time passes, she gets closer or, more accurately, falls for the right guy at the wrong time, wrong circumstanc

39.“Thank you,” Ruth smiled at Ricky when they left the police station. She declared that the missing person, who pretended to be kidnapped, was not really kidnapped. She published everything, with Ricky as her witness. The investigation was over. She had concluded everything.The police laughed, wondering why her own husband did such a thing to her. There was only one reason, Baron loved money more than her.“Your job for me is done,” Ruth added, acknowledged by the investigator.“Next time you need a private investigator, just call me directly. For simple matters and when I’m free, even without payment. It’s what makes me happy.”“But never trade a woman and leave her at the altar for an investigation,” she said meaningfully, and he laughed, getting the meaning of her words.“Of course. There’s a more deserving man for you, unlike dela Vega. Where to? Shall I drive you?”“No need. Thanks again.”“Alright, take care. I’ll get you a taxi.”Ricky walked towards the street, and she fol
