Chapter 56 - Heart

They 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

    Chapter 58Heart's friends were laughing while getting ready to attend the party. She sat in front of a mirror, combing her long black hair. She simply added a hair clip with shiny fake stones as her accessory.Katy had been chatting with her, asking if she was on her way. Lux still seemed unaware of what happened between her and Diana, not mentioning it. She didn't know what expression Lux would have when she found out, so she didn't talk much to him.She decided to take the initiative.They were discussing the incident where she hit Lux's wife with her bag. She was really annoyed by that woman earlier. She didn't provoke her initially. But today, she didn't do anything, and yet she was physically hurt. Well, it wasn't acceptable."Miss D's face is on the same level as a Divisoria bag, so cheap!" Gigi joked."Lesson learned, don't carry a bag as a weapon. You might end up falling!"Everyone burst into laughter at that comment from Jemena."Did you see her underwear?"The group burst

    Chapter 59There were so many people inside the Montesalvo's compound, and Heart's painful side was acting up again. She couldn't tell if it was due to her nerves or something else."Oh my G! Ate Heart!" Katy exclaimed, immediately flashing a smile and turning around. Katy was incredibly beautiful, and her male companion was very handsome, no other than Lux.The sixteen-year-old girl hugged her tightly, but her eyes were on Lux, which she quickly averted."Good evening, sir Lux!" her companions greeted."Evening, ladies. Sis, can you introduce me to that beautiful lady?"Heart's friends were all giddy about the Montesalvo attention-grabbing antics, but she paid no attention to it."Get an annulment first!"Katy's playful response almost made her laugh."I'll 'divorce' my ex wife later, Katyleene Anne. You better take them to their seats now.""Yes, sir Lux."She couldn't help but smile at the siblings' playful banter. It reminded her of her younger twin siblings and how they used to

    Chapter 60Lux felt content watching Heart from a distance, still stuck by her declaration of love. He thanked God for finding someone like her in his darkest days. He no longer regretted spending time with other women whenever he sought refuge after getting hurt by Diana.But even though he had been that way, he couldn't bear to spend time with anyone else if he and Heart ever falls out. Just the thought of looking for someone else made him ache. He was faithful to Heart. He knew she was the same with him.He loved her deeply, and he would ensure that she never doubted his loyalty. Heart had qualities that were miles apart from Diana's, and he cherished that."I've been noticing that girl in the off-shoulder black dress with a hair clip for a while now," Destiny pointed out.Lux didn't bother to take his eyes off the woman beside Katy who was Destiny had been referring to.Katy had always been selective about her friends, even when she was young. She had probably seen in Heart what

    Chapter 61 "I need a round of applause! I am 8 weeks pregnant! To calculate it, Mama doesn't need to wait for nine months for her grandchild!" Diana shouted into the microphone, and that's what some people who were unaware of the situation did, clapping their hands. At that moment, the applause and cheering of the crowd seemed deafening to Heart. She silently sobbed until she felt Katy holding her hand, under the table. She cried even more when she saw Katy's sympathetic look. "Smile, Ate," Katy mouthed, and she nodded. It was so hard. She had to pretend that she wasn't hurting, even though her heart felt like it had been squeezed when Diana said that. Diana could indeed be pregnant. She and Lux had only known each other for less than a month. It was impossible that Diana and Lux hadn't been intimate during the times when she hadn't been paid to be his mistress. It was over. Her happiness had vanished when Lux said he loved her. Did Lux still love her now that he would have a ch

    Chapter 62 Tears welled up in Lux’s eyes as he waited for the results of the resident doctor’s examination in a relatively unknown hospital in Manila, which had just recently been established. The doctor was a male, but he didn’t care. He leaned against the wall and, to be honest, he was waiting for a text from Heart. He couldn’t understand why he felt no joy about Diana’s sudden pregnancy—sudden pregnancy, take note. He was suppressing inappropriate thoughts about her pregnancy, and he wondered if he might be the actual father, feeling a tremendous guilt for their child due to the confusing thoughts running through his mind. The doctor exited the room, and Lux stood up. “Mr. Montesalvo, right?” the man asked. This guy looked damn familiar. “Yes.” “I’m Doctor Christian Mayor. Your baby is safe.” “Thank God,” he breathed a sigh of relief. “Please take care of the mother. She’s quite delicate. I prescribed some medication for her to take earlier. The baby’s hold is a bit weak,

    Chapter 63 Heart was startled when she opened the door, and she met Lux’s tired appearance, clearly sleep-deprived, looking so exhausted. He was sitting on a stone, staring at the carpet. He looked disheveled and quickly stood up when he saw her. It was like the first time for Heart, feeling nervous. “W-Why are you here? I’m leaving soon.” Lux shook his head and took her hand, “No. You stay here.” Tears welled up in his eyes, and he brought her inside, then kissed her on the lips. She didn’t resist, but she didn’t respond either. “You love me, right?” He asked. “But you’re going to have a child, and I don’t want to take away a father from that child. I’m doing this because… because it’s also for my sake. I don’t want your child to accuse me of taking you away from them.” “No!” Lux raised his voice and held her by the waist, “You didn’t take anyone away, remember that. It was my decision to take you, make you stay, and ask you to stay. I don’t want to lose you!” He turned to f

    Chapter 64 Heart's response to Gigi's question about how she's doing was a deep sigh. They were walking home, keeping a distance from their friends as they mentioned that they had somewhere to go. Their tired friends chose not to join them and just headed straight to their apartment. "I'm here, trying to stay strong because I feel like he is so weak right now,” Heart said. "It's because sir Lux loves you, and he feels like be might lose you due to her wife’s revelation of pregnancy. But what if she is really pregnant, can you truly accept it?" She wasn’t able to answer because, in truth, she was also hurting. She wasn't a god with a perfect personality. Even though she repeatedly said it was okay that Diana was pregnant, there was still a hint of jealousy, envy, and bitterness in her mind and heart. It would be different once the child of Lux and Diana was born. Lux would spend quality time with the baby, and she didn't know how she would deal with it. She didn't want to pretend

    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

    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
