Even Muse looks confused, gazing at him without taking its eyes off of him.Why is it so damn hard to prepare the table and his dish? He only cooked sweet and sour meatballs, homemade ones. It's his specialty from Oas, learned in hismother’s metown. His Owa and Owo who managed the eatery became successful when they started selling it at the eatery.“What do you think, Muse? Can I be a boyfriend now?” He asked the cat, receiving a disapproving look.He doesn't know why he's doing all this for Ruth. What's so special about her? Nothing really. Nothing, but there's something different about Ruth. Her simplicity captures his precious attention.

30 They stared at each other when Lush felt that he was about to come. He was cursing, almost gripping Ruth’s hair. “Ah, fuck you,” he said then caressed her jaw and shook his head. His eyes were most likely filled with tears as his masculinity was inside her mouth. He suddenly pulled it to release his penis, and then he pulled her over his body. He was grinding his dick against her breasts as he came. He couldn’t stand to come in her mouth. Flirty women are not able to swallow sometimes, this one is even able to shed tears after sucking him. He didn’t force her but she did what she wanted without asking or anything. All that she asked was how? He makes her watch porn and she gets the blowjob method. He loved it. He loved it but he had his respect if she would never do it and gave him satisfaction. He couldn’t force it. He Is really dead. Looks like things aren’t going well for him. The typical qualities he wanted in the woman he slept with were now mixed wit
Her mind was drifting as she walked, holding a tray filled with food that cost at least ten thousand pesos per plate. She was directionless after the news that shook her whole being earlier. She almost dropped her cellphone because of it, as she started sobbing in the bathroom.“Your father is in the hospital, fighting for his life!”Her mother’s voice thundered in her ears and continued to echo inside her head. Her father needed five hundred thousand pesos for the heart operation he had in their province of Oas, Albay, while he was pulling the carabao in the fields earlier. She was from Legazpi City, a Bicolana who was forced to go to Manila and stop her college education due to the hardships in life. She was beautiful, if beauty was the criteria, but she lacked the height to compete in beauty pageants, so she never stood a chance as a candidate.If only she was blessed with height, she would probably be able to earn and support herself in her studies. But she was short, standing onl
Chapter 1Heart estimated how her body moved as she opened the door to her manager’s office. A blast of cold air hit her as she entered, courtesy of the powerful air conditioning inside. Along with it came the pleasant scent of her manager’s perfume from the restaurant.Vandros Montero was sitting in his chair, holding a cigarette in his hand. His face had an unreadable expression. And she was on the verge of crying, even before speaking. Heart had barely crossed the threshold of the open door.Vandros looked at her and motioned for her to come in. He remained expressionless. Vandros was a serious person. He didn’t smile and his demeanor was unsettling, but beneath that, he was kind. He never yelled at them or treated them badly. He always spoke to them with respect and professionalism, but in return, he expected their loyalty and dedication to their work, as his true nature might occasionally reveal itself if they don’t abide.Heart did as she was told. She closed the door and sta
Chapter 2 – Lux“WHO’S that?” Lux asked his Abuela as soon as he entered the Montesalvo mansion.He had just dropped off a friend whose car broke down. He had promised his seventy-eight-year-old grandmother, Carmenzita Almendrez-Montesalvo, that he would spend an afternoon with her in her favorite salon. She wanted to get a foot spa, have her nails cleaned, and get a haircut. Damn! He didn’t need grooming, for Pete’s sake. He had no choice. His Abuela was happy treating him like a little boy, even though he was already thirty-one years old. Well, they were the only two who were always together from the beginning. “Oh, here you are,” she said, just having put down the phone. His grandma didn’t have a smartphone. She was the only person in the world still relying on a landline. She had a phone and a registered SIM card, but she didn’t use them. She didn’t have any social media accounts either. She didn’t know how to use modern cellphones. She would only make calls on her basic ph
3Heart is waiting for a call at five o’clock in the afternoon inside her apartment, but there’s still no call. She feels like a cat that can’t give birth in her current state. She peeks through the wooden window, gazing at the road, hoping that a luxurious Nissan Calibre owned by Vandros might pass by in front of their gate.She can’t stay still, constantly holding her cellphone, sitting down, standing up, and then pacing back and forth. The young woman’s eyes keep darting to the clock. It feels like time is racing, and the seconds tick loudly in her ears, matching the rhythm of her anxious heart.Her mind is far away, focused on her father, whose situation is unknown at the moment. Her thoughts are negative; she imagines the worst, that her father is already dying. She stops in her tracks and tears fill her eyes. Maybe her father is suffering right now. Oh God. Heart covers her face with her palms. Her mind should not dwell on such scenarios. It’s wrong. She should be thinking that
Chapter 4Heart breathed a sigh of relief as the initial payment of 75 thousand entered her SCash wallet. Another 75K would be due tomorrow. While she was still in Vandros’s car, on their way home, she already planned to call her mother to find someone who could send the seventy-five thousand. She didn’t know if it was possible to withdraw that amount at this hour. Her father needed the operation.Time was slipping away, and her father’s condition was becoming more critical. Vandros spoke up, “Heart…” which made her look at her employer.“Yes?” She gazed at him with sadness in her eyes.“Why don’t you ask the doctor if it’s still possible for your father to be transferred here? To the Philippine Heart Center, you know? The five hundred thousand can potentially be reduced to two hundred. That’s a significant difference. You’ll need less money. I’ll talk to Senyora Carmen; maybe she’ll allow you to do salary deduction.”She fell silent, contemplating the idea. But what if her father cou
Chapter 5Heart could hardly take a step as Vandros finally closed the door to the condo unit. She was now inside. She had been brought there. The unit was beautiful, very spacious, like a large family could live there. The man who bought it was obviously incredibly wealthy. Not just anyone could afford such a condo unit. Kerokeroppi wasn’t just rich; he was obscenely wealthy.What else was she going to do, just stand here? Her mother had texted that they were close to Manila. She needed to hurry and take care of the certificate stating that she was still a virgin.The young woman took her steps after chatting with Gigi, who was already in her new place.Was it really a new home, or just a place for encounters? No matter what, she couldn’t do anything about it. No matter how many times she asked herself, repeated it to herself, it was over. She now belonged to a man who had a strong appetite for sex.Heart walked. She saw several doors, three or four.She hadn’t even asked Vandros whi

Even Muse looks confused, gazing at him without taking its eyes off of him.Why is it so damn hard to prepare the table and his dish? He only cooked sweet and sour meatballs, homemade ones. It's his specialty from Oas, learned in hismother’s metown. His Owa and Owo who managed the eatery became successful when they started selling it at the eatery.“What do you think, Muse?

."WHOEVER you're dating right now, I like her," Heart teased as Lush exited his great grandmother's room.He immediately furrowed his brow and closed the door, "You're being silly, Mom.""Silly," she said, almost tauntingly while holding a fashion magazine, "it's even harder to believe if you say you're not dating anyone, dear."He chuckled and stood beside his mother, thinking of Ruth. He currently didn't have a girlfriend. It was Sunday, his day off, and it was a miracle he came here after visiting Love and his nieces and nephews.It doesn't usually happen. He doesn't go without a girl every day, but today is different. Many have invited him out since Friday night, but he patiently waited for Sunday night. And that night is tonight.No one to invite, though. He wanted to invite Ricky to have a drink at his pub, but his friend claimed to be busy.Ortis and Curt were different from Ricky. He knew Ricky since childhood. His father used to hire Ricky's dad as an investigator whenever
27.“Thank you,” Ruth said to him as she stopped him at a house. It was just at the corner, with a tall green gate.He looked at It and scanned the place. “Do you live here now?” he inquired, and the girl nodded.“Okay,” he said, about to remove his seatbelt, but Ruth stopped him.“No need. I can handle it. I am not your girlfriend for you to open the door for me,” she told him.“You don’t have to be my girlfriend for me to do that. If you deserve it, I will.” He finally got out and moved to the other door. He glanced at the house. This one’s safer than the other apartment where she lived.“This seems a nicer place, sweetie,” he commented and glanced at her. She looked around as if searching for something, so he did the same.“Is there a problem?”“H-Ha?” She quickly looked at him. “N-Nothing. Maybe… kidnapper. You’re rich, after all and some goons might be eyeing you.”He smiled, “I have tight security. I have there,” he pointed to the back. Two SUVs were there.“Later, one of those
26.RUTH was walking in the parking area of the condo after bidding farewell to David. She didn’t ask for a ride home because it seemed unnecessary. It was still early, just 10:00 A.M, and she had already slept. The warm shower helped, easing the remnants of her swollen femininity. She wondered about the aftermath of her two nights with Lush Miguel but hesitated to inspect. The thought was terrifying, fearing she might find her pussy change in shape.Lost in her foolish thoughts, she continued walking until she noticed a man getting into a black car. Ruth’s gaze returned to the ground, but something about the man felt familiar. She looked again and was stunned because the man was in a side view, waving to a woman by the exit.Baron?Her world seemed to pause. Was she seeing things? He boarded the car without glancing back.“B-Baron?!” She exclaimed with teary eyes, running after the car but stopped abruptly.That couldn’t be Baron. He couldn’t drive, and besides, he couldn’t be with a
25. RUTH was on top of him. Lush was leaning against the headboard, holding her by the hips and helping her move. It was their early morning sex before they left the condo. It was his last orgasm inside her because next week, she is no longer safe. “Damn. I love fucking you bare,” he said cheaply and almost squeezed her butt. She was just dumbfounded. Lush Miguel is so handsome. Any angle of his face shows how really handsome he is, so even if it was a sin to think about it, she could hardly imagine that he wasn’t the one using her. And he’s kind, too. She doesn’t seem to care if her naked body is exposed to his eyes. The girl immediately grabbed the headboard and then closed her eyes. Her orgasm is near. His movement sped up spontaneously, looking for the right position to reach what he wanted to reach earlier. Now, she finds her best spot. Her body relaxed and the young man immediately had her one breast. She moaned when she saw him looking at her, sucking hard on t
24.“HAPPY lunch time, sir Miguel. I might arrive at the condo past 8 because I’ll be delivering food to the apartment. With love, RM.”Lush smiled against the rim of his glass. So, there’s love, huh. He knew that was a joke. Who would be foolish enough to express love so early? That was so funny. Many had declared their love to him, but this one made him laugh.“Reading a message makes you smile now, bro,” Curt teased, and Lush glanced at him.He didn’t respond because he rarely smiled while reading texts, not until now.He just found it funny. That’s all. She’s kind of humorous, and he was right about it.He simply typed his reply, “Okay.”That was his only response, keeping it formal. Then, he casually returned to his meal, erasing his smile and bringing back his face to its normal aura.Eight PM is still early in his mind.“Is that a girl?” Ortis asked him.“Uhm,” was his simple answer as he took a sip of water.“Wow, one of the starlets from Toda?” Ortis jokingly asked,
23.“Here he is again, asserting his masculinity, stiffening and standing while in the bathroom, urinating. The mere thought of Ruth immediately has a different effect on him. He can’t get over it when it comes to being intimate with her. It’s still a different feeling being the dominant one in bed.His friends are outside, discussing a business proposition offered to him, while his mind is wandering, filled with lascivious thoughts. When he emerges, he tries to compose himself.“What’s up, bro? Have you decided?” Curt asks him.Curt and Ortis were his classmates in college, though they pursued different courses. They also work in the film industry, one as a manager and the other as a director. They propose to establish their own network, offering him a chance to have an extra source of income, with the largest share going to him, as they claim to be less fortunate. Of course, he would also have the biggest share of the profits. As long as he doesn’t have to manage it every day, why n
22.They diverted their attention, Berna and her friend, to the man who entered, seconds after the boss left. It was Dennis. The man scowled as they exchanged heated glances, then he continued walking with a stern expression.If it weren't like showing arrogance, she would confront the boastful Dennis about the termination. Where is the termination, and why hasn't she been dismissed yet? She has no information about it. Did her head ascend to such arrogance?"Wow," Berna said as she looked at her friend, "T-That's Sir Miguel, right?""Nope. It's DOM."“Are you crazy?!” She retorted, earning a scowl from her friend.“Who were you talking about?” She asked with a laugh, turning her gaze to Berna.“The one who took your ID. Oh my, girl, I saw what he did, and you two looked like a movie loveteam,” her friend teased, blushing but she didn’t reciprocate the excitement. She’s a married woman. Her prayer now is for a month to come to an end so she won’t have to talk to Lush Miguel anymor
