36.

Ruth ran towards the parking area after Lush left minutes ago. She hurriedly escaped to avoid being dropped off at her apartment. She made him believed they had already moved.

She felt overwhelmed by her lies. Concealing her true identity was challenging, but despite that, she displayed her genuine self to the billionaire. While running to the parking lot, she witnessed a man jiggling keys in the air as he approached to a car, giving her a greater shock than seeing a ghost.

She was abruptly halted. She was about to call Lush and inform him of her leaving the condo the last minute, pretending her cousin called. The man in front of her also paused and gave her a second look.

Recently, she had fantasized about reuniting with her husband, imagining running to him with a hug and a kiss. However, her emotions now contradicted those thoughts.

She couldn’t run to embrace him joyfully; instead, she stood there, gazing at him as if he were a ghost to be feared rather than to get close. The

    37.Lush’s attempts to find a comfortable position on his seat because he was overshadowed by his inability to stay calm. He frequently checks his smartphone, eagerly awaiting a text message. Each time his phone chimes with a new message, he promptly opens his eyes and reaches for it, only to dismiss the chat head that pops up on his home screen—it’s not Ruth. Perhaps she’s already asleep, so why does he keep hoping for a message?He doesn't know; he's just too worried about her. He senses her sadness and knows she has a problem that deeply troubles her. Damn it, he cares a lot.“What is happening, Lush?” his brother, Delight inquires.He looks at his sibling on the sofa, reading a book that seems to be about him. Delight wasn’t really reading, he assumes. He scratches his head and gets up, glancing at Carmenzita, the elderly woman who is asleep.“Since earlier, you’ve been staring at your phone like you’re annoyed,” Delight teasingly remarks. “What’s bothering you?

    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

She didn’t know if her old Android phone was acting up because the screen was blinking while she read the terrifying message.Her attempt to eat her dinner was abandoned. She was at the bottom of the condo building, next to the mini grocery store, having her meal. She had lost her appetite due to the message she had just read. “Right away? Clean yourself up because the boss will be here in an hour,” it said. Was she supposed to immerse herself in muriatic acid to disinfect herself? She felt embarrassed, thinking about what the man might do to her. Would he treat her the way they do on those shows, hitting and doing various things to her body?In Mister K’s text message, he sounded arrogant. It felt like he was implying that she was just paid and had no right to act cute.The message sank in

    35."Go to the parking, CEO's." That's the text that caught Ruth's attention as she was about to go home, exhausted. She wondered why Lush even picked her up; someone might see them. Glancing at Berna, her friend seemed almost done with her tasks. Her other companions were still around."I'll wait for you, sweetie." What should she reply? She's been waiting for Ricky's update, but nothing so far. She sighed, unable to refuse, even though she didn't really want to."B-Berna," she called her friend, who looked up after securing the body bag. "S-Sir L-Miguel... says he's waiting for me in the parking," she said in a soft voice, widening Berna's eyes."What?" Berna questioned, "Maybe that's something else, friend. You're already married. He might just be a flirt."Guilt crept in as she couldn't tell her friend about what was happening with Lush Miguel."Uh-uh. I think I have a schedule," she reasoned out, feeling embarrassed."Berna," a man called, and they all turned to look. Melo was t

    34.“AREN’T we going to have lunch together?” Lush asked her, but she just glanced at her wristwatch.In thirty minutes, it’s time.“I can, but I need to handle something first. How about next time?” she replied to avoid the situation.Lush teased her, “Next time it is. I’ll just have lunch alone.”“Oh, playing the most pitiful one,” Ruth said with a smile, and he smiled back a little, “I’ll join you, maybe for dinner at the condo next time.”“Let’s eat out instead. I can’t go to the condo yet because of Babuela. Let’s keep meeting for lunch or dinner.”“Payment?”He chuckled at her question, “Still paying.”“Just kidding. Okay, I’ll join you. I know you’re sad because of Babuela. I’ll leave now. Get some sleep when you can. It’s hard to get sick. Many will lose their jobs if you die.”Lush laughed at her words.“Why, that’s true. Have you had lunch? Eat now, okay? Unlike me, I can eat even while running,” he boasted.“I’ll eat nearby.”A taxi entered the hospital entrance

    33.“Who are you?” the nurse asked Ruth at the station, while the young lady stood in front the counter, inquiring about Carmenzita Montesalvo’s room. That’s what Lush encountered when he descended. The woman’s tone seemed irritated, and Ruth couldn’t escape the scrutinizing eyes that scanned her appearance.“I can’t tell you the room number. Only important people can visit her, the wealthy ones in the elite society,” the woman snapped.“And whose order?” Lush sharply questioned as he stepped out behid the wall. Everyone there, including Ruth, turned to look at him.“Lush!” Ruth exclaimed, and he smiled briefly, but his attention returned to the disrespectful woman, insulting his great grandmother's visitor.“How can you say that a person belongs to high society? Is it based on clothing?” he asked, feeling irritated.“No, sir,” the nurse replied with a smirk.“You just said it and I heard it. You’re disrespecting my grandmother’s visitor just because she’s wearing a janitress uniform.

    32.One scrub, one deep sob. Ruth can’t stop crying; her heart aches from what she heard on her cellphone. Is she really foolish? Now, she feels torn in two. She doesn’t want to believe what she heard, but she also doesn’t want to be a complete fool. It’s hard for her to understand what she should think now, but she strongly suspects Baron is deceiving her.If it’s true, they should talk and end it all. She wonders what mistake she made and what Baron did. If her womanly instinct is right, she sold herself for an unworthy man who seemingly deceived her for three years. Ruth tolerated his tantrums, arrogance, and pretended indifference during their fights. She thought it was normal in a relationship, expecting him to come back after three days.Baron was her first boyfriend, and all she wanted was for him not to force kisses and sex when she said no. Despite his apparent frustration, he didn’t force her into explicit acts. Now, she wonders if the reason their setup worked was because h

    31Ruth remained silent as she changed her clothes. She felt as if struck by lightning when Dennis openly insulted her earlier. It was true, but she couldn't help but cry as the painful truth sank in. Despite whatever reason he had for his arrogance, it felt like she had been stabbed."What happened between you and Mr. Dennis, Ruti?" Mary inquired, catching Ruth's attention. They weren't super close friends, but they weren't enemies either. Ruth didn't respond, acknowledging Dennis' words were true. She disliked his disrespect but had never experienced such rudeness before."That old hag is getting bold. Maybe she wants to taste some couple action!" Berna commented, throwing a swift karate move, losing balance, but someone caught her under the armpits."Oops!" they exclaimed, and Ruth quickly pulled her best friend, both looking up at the man.Tha man gazed at Berna, resembling Sunghoon of Enhypen like a twin.

    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.

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?

Nothing, but there's something different about Ruth. Her simplicity captures his precious attention.
