Thank you so much.🫶
THE STORY OF LUSH MONTESALVO .... Lush had a habit of buying a woman. Perhaps he inherited that trait from his father, but he was a bachelor seeking entertainment. He bought celebrities, simple women with decent backgrounds, but a woman came to him and directly offered herself for three hundred thousand pesos. This woman was his employee, and the reason she gave was to redeem a piece of land that was mortgaged in the province. They had been intimate with each other for a month or two until he discovered that this woman was already married to a missing man. ....
Lush Miguel 1 The woman was squirming while Lush Miguel held her head, and he didn't allow his dick to escape from the woman's mouth. They were in a famous hotel and the people there knew him, bringing beautiful and famous women every now and then. Women are his plaything, his toys and his pastime. They're his slave when it comes to bed. He was currently having sex with this woman, whose name on television is Lynch. The girl became known in indie films and took part in TodaMax. It's a site where the show is pornographic and exclusively for adults only. He was producing such shows on this app. It is owned by the Toda network, which also produces several pornographic shows on other platforms. He produces decent and wholesome movies, TV series, etcetera, but behind that clean image, he produces dirty ones, too. He is one of the viewers of TodaMax, and he is a man who is alive and has an active sex life. He doesn’t let a week pass without bringing a woman in a hotel or anywhe
2Heart raised her eyebrows when Lush arrived at the mansion. He was reluctantly invited to a late-night dinner with his family. Ignoring his Mommy’s deadly stare, he quickly approached his smiling younger sister.“Hi, sis,” he greeted, causing her eyebrows to twitch as he kissed her on the cheek.Then, he turned to his mother, squinted his eyes, and said, “Mom, you’re getting younger, a,” he remarked. “Where have you been? You didn’t even reply to my messages.”“What? I replied. You better check your phone, Mom. You’ll see my reply,” he proudly said.“When?” Heart asked sternly.“Just now!” His proud response made Delight smile while shaking his head.“You’re really crazy,” his father teased.“What’s important is that I replied! Mommy is always high blood,” he added, sitting beside his father.“How’s Babuela?” He inquired about his father’s grandmother.He never forgot to ask about his father’s grandmother all the time. Carmenzita was quite old, over a hundred years, seemingly impos
3Ruth’s head pounded as the police officer’s words played like a broken record, repeatedly echoing in her ears.“We still have no lead on your husband’s disappearance, Miss Eduardo. The people who took him remain unidentified, but we’re doing everything we can.”“Useless!” she angrily exclaimed at the officer before being grabbed by her cousin, who shook her and shot her a disapproving look.Despite knowing she was being reprimanded for her words against law enforcement, Ruth couldn’t help her frustration.“Miss Eduardo, we’re doing our best, give us time to do our job. We can’t provide information right now; it’s only been three days since your boyfriend went missing,” the officer reasoned, but her temper remained hot.“Say it, I don’t have money, that’s why!” she retorted, annoyed, Glancing at the cop’s surname as Jimenez.Rosemarie quickly pulled her away, saying, “Thank you, sir. We’ll come back when El Niño phenomenon ended in my cousin’s head. Sorry, sorry.”As she was dragged
4.It’s extremely difficult to act against one’s will. Despite Ruth’s reluctance to work, she was compelled to wake up early and go to the company.Her mind and heart are dedicated to finding her husband. She carefully considered how she could help and made the decision to hire an investigator. During her lunch break, she has somewhere to find one.As she left her room, she found her cousin Rose, preparing food.“Are you leaving, sis?” she asked her older cousin.“I’ll be looking for a job while I’m here. It might take a while. I won’t go home until you’ve moved on from Baron’s disappearance.”She remained silent, observing what Rose was doing. She assisted her with the packed meals, presumably one for herself and another for Rose.“You’ll find something quickly,” she reassured her.Rosemarie was fortunate in her job search. In the province, she didn’t experience unemployment. During college, she worked part-time at a fast-food chain. After graduating, she became a saleslady in variou
5.The woman is unbelievable. That’s what Lush thought as the woman stared at his company I.D. with widened eyes. She then looked at his face, licked her lips, and scrutinized him closely.“Maybe you’re surgically enhanced, an impostor. Perhaps you’re not the real face of the owner. Because the owner wouldn’t stoop to the level of a mere janitress,” she said, examining his face.His lips trembled as he tried to avoid her gaze. He couldn’t tell if he should be insulted or amused. Ruth Eduardo couldn’t believe that his face was the original face of a CEO. Well, the world is full of altered faces nowadays, so he couldn't blame her for thinking someone might have copied his face through surgery.It turns out he should've been more selective about where his eyes wander. Apparently, the boss isn’t allowed to ogle at a janitress. That was what she meant by her words.“Maybe you’ll believe me if I fire you right now,” he said as he looked at her face again.Her eyes widened, and she quickly s
6.“Your silence is causing concern among our colleagues, Ruth. They’re asking what’s going on with you and why you seem lost,” Bernadet said during their lunch break.Ruth was restless at that moment, feeling like ants were crawling on her legs, itching to leave and hire a private investigator.She checked her bag and glanced at her watch. She might not make it in time for the afternoon, putting her in trouble with their head again.He seemed wide awcausin the entire morning, while she had dozed off earlier and received a scolding, even her beauty got dragged into it. Her colleagues joked that the man was annoyed because she kept rejecting their old bachelor head, who, upon learning she had a boyfriend, started resenting her and making work difficult for her.She lowered her bag again, unable to think straight. Annoying. Why couldn’t she get her boss’ face out of her mind?Although she wouldn’t admit it, she had never seen such a handsome man in her entire life. Yes, Baron was g
7. ANNE’s presence irritates Lush. He regrets leaving his office; he wishes he could have hidden from this woman. As he entered, he just gestured to Annelyn to sit, heading straight to his cigarette case. Lighting up, it’s his way of warding off unwanted intruders in his office. Anne is allergic to cigarettes. “Oh my god!” The woman exclaimed, grabbing the cigarette from his lips. “Do you want me to end up in the hospital? I’m allergic to smoke!” “I forgot,” he lied, exhaling a deep breath. Lush was turning away when Annelyn hugged him, kissed him, and quickly ventured further. He didn't respond to her advances, but her hands swiftly explored him, teasing near his zipper, touching his bulge. “Oh shit. I miss this so much,” she said, licking his jawline. Anne just does it with elegance. “Anne, I have a meeting,” he told her, although his arousal was evident. Despite his usual readiness, he wasn’t interested in intimacy right now, especially with a woman who flirts wit
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
