Chapter 49

LUX 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

    Chapter 50LUX looked at his phone. He was currently helping Heart organize their groceries. They had eaten at a hidden restaurant where they used to dine, and then they went home. His grandmother invited him to go to the opera again, but he claimed to be too busy. He informed her that Katy and Elisa had already talked. Elisa was going back home as Alfonso hadn’t agreed to her staying until the father of Katy's child returned. He still hadn’t spoken to that man, and what annoyed him was why Alfonso didn’t take action to find the player instead of forcing the man out through Elisa. Elisa was going to talk to her husband about Katy more seriously, considering her to be a shame to the Allen family. Heart couldn’t believe that her father had stolen her mother from his father back then. He was just irritated. He felt sorry for his sister, even though he had been angry at first. What more could be done? She was already pregnant.“Baby, wait. I have to take this call. It’s my secretary,” h

    Chapter 51“BABY, aren’t you coming down here yet? I’m waiting!” Lux called out his woman while he stood by the stairs and checked his wristwatch. He held a paper bag containing a smartphone, which he had purposely bought for her. She had requested a used phone to make video calls to her siblings and parents, as her older ones were prone to glitches, so he had bought it as a gift for her. She deserved it. She sacrificed everything for her family, even setting aside her own needs.It's about time she got what she needed. "I'm coming down,” she replied, and he heard the flip-flop of her slippers as she descended the stairs. He greeted her with a smile when he saw her.“What’s the rush?” she asked.“Come here,” he said, stepping in front of her. “Hmm?” Heart raised her eyebrows and smiled, “What? I thought you had already left. You came back.” “I’m giving you this. For you. You deserve it,” he said, revealing the bag. She looked at it and her eyes widened slightly when she

    Chapter 52The young woman continued to enjoy her ice cream while her smartphone was plugged into her ear. She wasn’t used to using earbuds, so she didn’t bring them with her.“There’s a girl here staring at me,” Heart whispered softly to Lux.“Hmm? Maybe she finds you attractive,” he replied with a laugh, trying not to laugh too hard herself.“No, she’s beautiful too, really.”“You know, baby, these days, beautiful women can be scary because they might be lesbians, too.”He burst into laughter, and she struggled to stifle her own laughter. Lux could be quite funny sometimes.“For me, I’m fine with you, especially now that you know how to be on top. I was sleeping, yet you were raping me.”“Hey!” she scolded him, raising her voice, feeling embarrassed. She quickly covered her mouth because Lux was laughing at her.She couldn’t understand what had come over her when she did that to Lux last night. And now he was using it against her. This man could be annoying, no matter what.“I want

    Chapter 53LUX lazily entered the mansion to look for his grandmother. He was greeted by his sister, Katy, who had come to get updates on his conversation with the baby’s father.“Brother,” she cheerfully greeted him while holding a green mango.He couldn’t help but cringe as he watched her eat the unripe mango, which he thought was extremely sour. It seemed like she no longer cared whether the man who got her pregnant would take responsibility or not.“Let’s talk,” he said, his expression serious.He sat on the sofa, and Katy joined him.“I just want you to know that I already talked to your boyfriend.”“What did he say?” she asked, sounding worried.“They’re just starting their lives, Katy. The man who impregnated you is not wealthy, and I can already see that your Daddy won’t approve of him to be your husband. He’s willing to take responsibility, and that’s what his parents want, but they don’t want him to live in Cebu. His career is here. They are still building a house with earni

    Chapter 54She woke up again to the gentle kisses on her face. She was about to turn around, but she knew exactly who was kissing her, so instead of opening her eyes, she smiled.“Moody, jealous, and too sulky. What am I to choose?” Lux playfully murmured to her, causing her to giggle slightly.She knew that he was talking about her tantrums and everything.Heart finally opened her eyes and met the most handsome face she had ever seen. He was smiling at her. Well, when she wakes up to such a handsome face every day, what more could she ask for? Especially with his affectionate nature.Diana was so lucky. What could that woman possibly dislike about Lux, preferring Enrico instead? She wonders because for her, Lux is the kind of man to keep.“I’ll get you ready,” he said and tried to get up, even though she had no idea what time it was.“Don’t bother, baby,” he said as he stood up and removed his clothes. “We’ve already eaten. Mama invited us. How about you?”“I’ve already eaten. How a

    Chapter 55Heart felt a deep sense of disappointment as she marched out of the house. She felt like she had lost herself, as if she had suddenly been clouded by negative thoughts, obscuring her day. Tears welled up in her eyes as she reread in her mind what she had just seen in his phone. Her chest was tight, and she was irritated at the thought of going to work with these emotions.She continued walking and passed Lux’s car, parked on the side of the yard.“Hey, baby!” he called out to her, but she continued without acknowledging him.What she thought would be a quiet cry turned into a soundly sob. She couldn’t help it.“Babe, let’s talk and fix our marriage. I promise to be a good wife now. Let’s do counseling. I’m begging you. I took back what I said to Mommy. I only said those things because I was angry with you. Don’t you love me anymore?” those were Diana's words.Tears streamed down her face as she remembered their last words, and then, someone suddenly hugged her, jolting he

    Chapter 56 - HeartThey were there, having a pizza party in the living area, close to Vandros' office. It didn't bother them that they were there because they weren’t audible in the restaurant proper.Her friends had been teasing her about her cellphone for a while. She didn't want to show it, but she had to because Lux had been texting her, and she needed to reply.They said the smartphone was really beautiful, so she felt embarrassed. Anyone would wonder how she could have such a phone when she had been saving so much for herself. It a latest smartphone in the market today.She couldn't speak, and Gigi couldn't rescue her either. She felt sad about lying to the friends who had become her family since whe worked in Manila."Where did you buy it? It's so fancy, an original SG flip phone," Haven said to her, holding her cellphone."I gave it to her," Vandros said, appearing from outside, "I'm not using it, and she needs it for her family. Do we have booze here?" He asked, nodding

    Chapter 57Lux couldn’t help but feel uneasy as she watched Franco patiently waiting for Heart. She really didn’t like Franco’s demeanor, and she was grateful that Heart was avoiding this man. She decided to take a taxi as instructed to shake off anyone who might be following Franco. Lux also kept an eye on that guy.She got into her own car, holding her smartphone to notify Jestoni, his bodyguard in case the man followed Heart. He also hopped on a motorcycle and tailed Franco, so when this man moved his car. Franco was more persistent than a cockroach.He remained vigilant until the taxi turned left, and Franco turned right. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the man wasn’t following his girl after all. Heart was probably still a bit tipsy, as he estimated.Lux couldn’t help but chuckle, remembering Vandros’ comment about Heart, having had a couple of shots. He asked him how many, and he said she had two glasses. Jesus, two glasses were enough to make her tipsy. Gigi mentioned t

    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. 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. No matter how much she conv

    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?

This is a chapter of her life she will keep hidden forever, even from Baron.
