Chapter 41

Heart 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

Chapter 42 makes no sense. In chapter 41, the last scene indicates he is at his home to leave his wife, then take a nap (weird, is he a child or sick), then wakes up to find his wife trying to seduce him. Chapter 42 jumps to him being with Heart, a totally different scenario. CONFUSING.

    Chapter 42“It hurts. How many times have you lied to me, Heart? At first, I forgave you, and now you’re repeating it?” Lux’s eyes were sharp as he looked at her. Why is he so angry? What did she do wrong to make him this way? “You knew about Diana and Enrico, but you didn’t tell me? What?” “W-Wait,” she stammered, struggling to keep up as he turned away. “You’re making a fool out of me, Heart. Do you intend to keep what Enrico told you? You’re no different from any other woman. You look like you’re only after money!” God, she was in tears and paralyzed. The young woman couldn’t even chase after the young man who had just left her condo unit with his suitcases. He had only just arrived, but he was leaving already because he found out the truth? Who told him, Enrico? “L-Lux, please listen—” He slammed the door, leaving her with nothing but her tears and a heavy heart. She thought she was happy when they had dinner, but apparently not… Heart suddenly woke up, tears stream

    Chapter 43Heart’s movements were quick that morning when she woke up. Darn! It was already close to noon, and her parents might have already left the hospital. Why did she oversleep?Her mom had left numerous missed calls, and she didn’t even have the time to read the messages.She blamed Lux for her long slumber. She blushed excessively at that Mrs. Montesalvo thing. Why was that? She shouldn’t be getting all giddy when the couple was still together, but she couldn’t help herself.She wasn’t expecting anything, but she was happy, and she didn’t want to suppress that happiness. She didn’t often get to be happy in her life full of hardships, so why should she hold back, even if it was for a brief moment?The young lady exited the bathroom, wearing her robe, and hurried to her bed where her clothes were laid out.“I’m coming, Mom!” she called out, picking up her underwear, but her hand froze in mid-air when the door to the room swung open without warning.It was Lux.His scent had fill

    44DRIVE-thru is the only way to feed the lady beside him. He knows she hasn’t eaten yet because he hasn’t seen Heart move so quickly. She has never been late for their plans because when she has a schedule, she’s even earlier than an alarm clock.“Why are we stopping here?” She asked with amazement, so he just looked at her and took her hand again.She looks incredibly worried. She’s even faster than him in her haste.“Relax. This will only take 5 minutes, baby. You’ll catch them before they leave. If not for 5 minutes, I’ll shut this damn fast food down.”She laughed, so he put his hand on his thigh and rubbed it.“A bucket of chicken, burger steak, and Palabok family pan. Include a solo chicken meal with drinks, hot chocolate.”“Right away, sir,” said the female crew member who had their order in her hands. He didn’t think twice about it, so he stared at Heart.“You’re not a drug, baby, are you?” He asked, looking at her fingers.“W-Why?”“Because I’m addicted to you!” He laughed,

    Chapter 45Heart's steps were slow as she walked alongside her mother towards the hospital exit where the ambulance was waiting. Her father was still in the room, being attended to by the health aides. Despite her relief that her father's condition had improved, she couldn't help but feel sad that they were leaving, and she wouldn't see them every day.Mother and daughter exchanged glances and smiled at each other. "Don't cry, dear. You'll be home with us soon," her mother reassured her. She nodded, but her feelings remained unchanged. When would she be able to return home? She had many debts to pay at the restaurant, and every hour mattered. When she went back to work, she planned to work overtime to repay her debts quickly.There was a little money left from her mother. She planned to start a small convenience store in front of their house, so they would have some income every day. She instructed her mother to save the rest for her father's medications and check-ups."Mom, take good

    Chapter 46Heart opened her eyes and the face of the man next to her registered. The pills! Throughout the whole session, that word was running through her mind as Lux continued to make love to her. One thrust, one reminder from her system to take contraceptives afterward.She carefully removed his arm wrapped around her. She was being extra cautious not to wake him up and let him rest properly. It was only ten o’clock when she glanced at the clock. She put on her pajamas and picked up her panties from the carpet.Approaching the drawer, she rummaged for her bottle of pills. She needed to take them, but as she twisted the cap open, Lux was already awake, watching her.He would be mad if he found out she hadn’t taken them.“P-Pills,” she stammered, trying to keep her voice normal to hide her nervousness.“Did you miss it?” He yawned and stretched, grimacing.“Only Y-Yesterday. It said to take two if that happens.”Lux just nodded and buried his face in the pillow again, while she kept

    Chapter 47 – LuxLUX marked Franco Rodriguez as his first enemy for now. That’s what’s been on his mind since the morning but it disappeared when he fell asleep. It returned when he saw Heart poking at her phone before they left.Enrico was gone because he was taking Heart to her new home. Even if he returned to the condo, the young lady was no longer there. They were heading to the townhouse now, with her luggage always ready. But before that, he needed to make a quick stop at the office to check on some important documents.He parked his car in the basement and couldn’t help but laugh when Heart quickly ducked to hide.“Wrong, baby. You shouldn’t be hiding there. You should be in my pants.”“Sssh!” She scolded him, but he couldn’t help but laugh.“No gossip will get out, no matter what they see. I’ll lock down the entire building if it happens. Don’t be afraid.”The girl rolled her eyes at him and slowly adjusted her sitting position.“Are you sure?”“Yes, Ma’am,” he said, and it ma

    Chapter 48Heart felt embarrassed when a woman got into the back of their car without even bothering to be asked by Lux to open the door for her. Even though it wasn’t said, the young lady knew who had entered. It was likely Elisa, Lux’s mother.He also got into the driver’s side in silence. She saw Lux’s mother looking at her through the mirror.“Diana?” Elisa asked, looking at Heart.“She’s not Diana,” Lux replied gruffly to his mother, leaving her speechless.“Sorry. I thought you were Diana.”“I’m just taking you to Katy. That’s all I can do for you. You can’t take her home unless you promise that your husband will not hurt her,” Lux talked beside Heart.“Alfonso won’t harm her, Lux,” Elisa replied gently to his son.“Are you sure? That’s not what Katy told me. Maybe you just can’t protect her, so I won’t give her to you. I’m better off, you left me, a boy, but Katy is a girl, and she needs you to support her. She was wrong, yes, but you can’t let her get hurt because you made mis

    Chapter 49LUX entered the grocery store past six in the evening. That grocery store was open 24 hours, inside a shopping mall.He entered with his bodyguards, and people immediately looked at him. “Where’s the manager?” He asked one of the customer assistants, “Call your manager, please.” He said, smiling at the woman, who promptly complied.It seemed like he wanted to open his own grocery store soon so he could shop with Heart at any time. He waited in his spot, and the manager came out, a man with age.“Yes, sir?” a man asked.“I want the grocery store to remain closed while I’m inside. I’m just going to buy some stuff. How much is the income in thirty minutes?”The man was taken aback, “On average, sir?”“No, the maximum.”The manager stared at him, probably thinking he was joking. Lux couldn’t blame him. Not everyone was familiar with the business world, and he was famous among businessmen worldwide, not the general public.“M-Maximum, sir, we have ten counters, and for thirty mi

    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
