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

    Chapter 36Lux left Katy inside the café while he was in the smoking area, contemplating what to do about his sister. He had no contact with her, not even a phone number.“Sir Lux?”“Uhm?” He answered Heart on the other end of the line. He called her because he was tired of texting and needed someone to talk to. He felt stressed when Katy arrived in Manila.“I thought you were gone,” Heart chuckled slightly, which made him smile too.“I’m just a bit disoriented,” he admitted, “She doesn’t want to call Elisa. She doesn’t want to go back to Cebu. Does she expect me to take care of her?”“Maybe that’s why she came to you.”“She’s afraid her father will hurt her. Damn. What is Elisa doing to allow her father to hurt her?”“Wait, sir. Who is Elisa? You’ve been mentioning Elisa. I’m confused. Katy is your sister, and her father isn’t your father. Is Elisa your mother?”“Uhm,” he reluctantly replied, but it made him chuckle.What’s so funny about that?“Is Elisa what you call your Mommy?” S

    Chapter 37Heart smiled at Vandros as he escorted her to the condo. He assisted her to the elevator, but they had to stop when Enrico appeared. The man’s face lit up with a smile when he saw her, but Vandros didn’t look too pleased.“You know him?” Vandros asked her discreetly, and she nodded in response.“Heart,” Enrico greeted her with a smile and approached quickly.“What happened to you? It’s been so long since I last saw you.”“I got sick, that’s why. I was confined to the hospital.”“Ah, that explains it,” he said, examining her. He seemed a bit under the influence of alcohol, but not too much.“Excuse me, Enrico,” she said and gestured to Vandros to enter the elevator.She felt nervous because what if Lux was with her and the two of them knew each other? She didn’t feel safe in that condo anymore. Lux needed to know everything so she could move out. Even a simple apartment would do, as long as no one could recognize her there.“You know him,” Vandros said as the elevator door c

    Chapter 38Lux furrowed his brow as he entered the condo room, feeling like he went unnoticed by Heart. What he immediately noticed was the open balcony door. Heart was sitting there, seemingly amused, her gaze fixed on the adjacent balcony.He walked closer to the glass door and eavesdropped. He involuntarily clenched his jaw upon hearing a man's voice, telling a funny story that made the girl laugh. He couldn't go out, fearing that the person in the neighboring unit might recognize him. He had to be careful."I don't even know how to ride a bike. When I tried to ride one, I ended up going straight into the field because I didn't know how to brake," the man said with a laugh, but Lux didn't find it funny.He was getting angry. He didn't want her talking to someone else. From now on, he didn't want anyone else getting her attention.He cleared his throat and finally turned to Heart. Her laughter faded."I'll go in for a moment, Enrico. I-I just have some things to take care of," she s

    Chapter 39They were on their way to an OB-Gynecologist for Katy’s checkup. She told him that she hadn’t taken any prenatal checkup. She said she only relied on calculating her pregnancy through the internet after taking a pregnancy test. There are many apps available to calculate the exact days of pregnancy. But ultrasound is different. Ultrasound has different calculations than the regular counting for a pregnant woman, so she insisted on getting a checkup. However, they were now in front of the Philippine Heart Center because she had seen Heart take a taxi from the condominium.She discreetly collected money there, but when she updated that she was going out and going to her parents’ place, she really waited for her.He was being foolish.Lux was eyeing Heart the moment she hopped out of the taxi. She was in shorts and rubber shoes, wearing a simple black blouse that showed a bit of midriff, but it wasn’t too daring. And at that moment, there was no need to question his body becaus

    Chapter 40LUX looked at the message Vandros had sent him. “You’ve got the townhouse, the agent’s on point. It’s in Makati and a single-family unit, just like what you wanted for Heart.”He quickly called his friend.“Hello,” his brother/friend answered.“I have to pay it asap. Please settle it.”Vandros chuckled, “In a hurry? Your ex-wife’s ex is leaving, what’s there to worry about for you and Heart?”“It’s not just that woman we should hide from.”“Hide, huh,” he said, “Is this serious, my brother?”“Damn, I don’t know, Van, but I don’t want anyone to recognize me or Heart. She could be my mistress, yet I don’t want a scandal for her. What can I do? I can’t let her go. I want to keep her, and keeping her means giving her peace of mind and a peaceful life. You’re the only one who knows about this,” he replied anxiously.“Of course. I’ll settle the payment. I’ll finish the report I’m working on for you, then I’ll go to the agent, we’ll meet with the owner. Is that okay? Will your ho

    Chapter 41Heart and Lux were walking together on the restaurant’s pavement. The surroundings were filled with the fragrance of flowers and various plants, creating a refreshing and peaceful atmosphere. It relaxed her as she strolled, and she could hear a faint melody coming from inside the restaurant, which, if she wasn’t mistaken, was the song “Till I Met You.”She was falling in love even more. While this might be an ordinary moment for Lux, just a regular dinner, it was her first date. She had never had dinner with a man before, and the fact that the man standing beside her was someone she genuinely liked, made it all the more special. This was one of those memories she would cherish and remember, especially when they were part ways.The location was hidden, with hardly any people around, and Lux had paid a hefty sum to enter. It seemed like the kind of place reserved for those in discreet relationships, but for a very high price.Lux asked if she was allergic to cigarettes, and s

    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

    19.Ruth stood in front of a condominium she recognized. The driver dropped her off at the entrance, and a uniformed man opened the door for her.“To the unit of, uh…” she stammered nervously. 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.

    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

    14.This is true. They’ve come to an agreement, and she has agreed to his offer. Yes, she offered herself. 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. He was driving towards their destination. He said he would drop her off at the exit, and she couldn’t refuse.What does he mean by “go tonight”?“D-Do you mean, um, do that tonight?” she asked, feeling awkward. Oh no, is she really ready?
