Days passed, and now Yza’s grandmother has returned home. Her sister, Perla, is now assigned to take care of the elderly while she goes to school. It has been a few days, and things between her and Adam are going well. Despite Adam’s lack of words, she feels his affection, like when he fixes her clothes before going to the office.

Today, she’s nervous about what might happen tonight. They’re traveling to Tagaytay with her friends. Instead of a party, they’re going for an overnight stay with swimming at one of Adam’s vacation houses. She had no idea until the last minute when Adam’s staff brought out the limousine for them.

Throughout the day, she’s been stealing glances at him while he’s busy chatting on the phone, one hand continuously caressing her stomach. She’s almost leaning on him in the way they’re sitting.

There was no explanation of what happened. It seems he kept the real story between him and DJ, and him and Arianna, from her. Despite this, nothing changed in their relat

    34YZA spent some time with her friends at the pool. She laughed and chatted with them while they soaked in the water. They had no issues, as they were all girls, avoiding any potential outbursts from her husband if there were males around. It seemed that DJ was the only one Adam was tolerant of, and she didn’t know why, but she didn’t care. If all he wanted now was to maintain their childhood friendship, she was fine with that, but love was no longer in the equation. She loved someone else now—her husband.“Just one more picture,” she jokingly said to her friends, prompting them to pose even in the water. She smiled upon seeing the photo, but suddenly felt someone’s gaze on her. Her heart raced, and she scanned the surroundings to find the source. As her eyes swept the area, she noticed Adam’s employees on a balcony, drinking not too far away. In the vast space, it was challenging for her eyes to identify who was staring until she looked up and saw her husband, leaning against the ba

    35Adam glared sharply at the doctor he had called to check on Yza. He paced back and forth, wearing only boxers, his upper body bare. His fingers repeatedly ran through his hair in frustration.The doctor, Dr. Guadalupe, had a smug smile that irritated Adam to no end. If he didn’t control himself, he might actually blow the man’s head off.Adam stopped pacing and stood at the foot of the bed, his hands on his hips in irritation. The doctor was examining Yza’s closed eyes with a penlight.“What now, Guadalupe? Do you want me to shoot you first before you finally give me a reason why she passed out?” he demanded arrogantly, addressing his high school classmate.His impatience and frustration were evident in his knitted brows. Yza had been unconscious for over thirty minutes, and it felt like he was on the verge of losing his sanity. He knew the reason—he had pushed her too hard. He couldn’t help it. Damn it! She was irresistible.The doctor just gave him a pointed look. Adam knew the m

    36Adam looked away, his jaw tightening, and his lips pressing into a firm line as if struggling with something deep within. Yza couldn’t help but notice the unusual vulnerability in his eyes before he turned his face away.“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked softly, her voice still hoarse but laced with curiosity.He didn’t respond immediately, instead busying himself with arranging the tray of food as though it demanded his full attention.“Adam?” she tried again, her voice gaining strength.Finally, he sighed and turned back to her, the guarded expression on his face replaced by a soft, almost boyish smile. “You’re too beautiful for your own good, baby. Makes me wonder what I did to deserve you.”Yza blinked, surprised by his words. It wasn’t often that Adam expressed himself in such a heartfelt way. For someone as intimidating and authoritative as him, vulnerability seemed almost out of character, and yet here he was, baring his emotions.“I’m your wife, Adam. Isn’t t

    37Yza woke up to the sight of Adam’s face when she looked up. His arms were wrapped around her like a snake as he leaned against the headboard, fast asleep. His head was tilted to the side, and she figured he’d wake up with a stiff neck.Still, her heart fluttered early in the morning. He had been watching over her; she was sure of it. Even with her high fever, she could feel him constantly checking her forehead and placing a thermometer under her arm. Who knows where he got the thermometer—he probably had one of his men buy it. He even made sure she took her medicine on time. And what made her heart swell even more? She felt him kiss her lips repeatedly, even while she was asleep. She knew how much she meant to him.Yza tried to move. She felt a bit better now and needed to force herself to get up, but she still felt weak.This was insane.“Adam,” she nudged her husband’s stomach, but he just groaned.He was clearly still exhausted, so she let him be.Slowly, she sat up on the bed,

    Adam sat on the cold floor, his shoulders trembling as tears streamed down his face. Every breath he took felt like knives carving deeper into his chest. The memories came rushing back, vivid and merciless, pulling him into a spiral of pain he thought he had buried long ago.He clenched his fists, the gun still tightly gripped in his hand. His father’s broken figure haunted him—once a man of strength and authority, reduced to a shell by betrayal and despair. Adam could still see him, hunched over in the dark, drowning in alcohol and misery.And he remembered that night. The night his father had looked him in the eyes, the weight of the world pressing down on his shoulders, and uttered those heartbreaking words:“You’ll grow up someday and be a man of your own, son. Don’t be obsessed. Don’t be possessive. Don’t fall too hard. Not a hundred percent, because if she leaves you, you need something left for yourself. Unlike me… I have nothing left. I’m sorry I failed to bring her home. I’m

    39After spending two days at the rest house, Yza and Adam were finally back in Makati. It was early in the morning, and her husband was on the phone, scratching his head as he had just woken up. It seemed someone was bothering him about work left undone over the weekend. Yza had already cooked and gotten dressed for her first day of OJT.She smiled when she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyebrows furrowed. After their conversation about his parents and Mr. Hidalgo, he hadn’t mentioned anything else. It seemed like he was trying to push those thoughts out of his mind when he was with her. When she wasn’t around, he would space out. He was good at pretending he didn’t have any weaknesses, but what else could he do? She had already seen him cry.She smiled at him when he finally noticed her. He looked her over from head to toe, his gaze lingering on her hips before he licked his lips.He was checking her out again. She just smiled to herself.After everything that had happe

    40ADAM was eyeing the blonde woman in front of him—Riley. She was with Katie and Jix, and the woman had been nudging his leg under the table with her foot for a while now.Damn it! He licked his lips.His twin brother had just returned home, bringing along their nephew. Katie probably tagged along, leaving her child with someone else again. Earlier, he was caught off guard when Riley suddenly kissed him on the lips—so much so that he nearly shoved her away. He had warned her not to act like that because he was married. But she just laughed and mocked him for marrying someone she called a “placeholder.”Sure, back then, he didn’t care much about his wife beyond her pretty face and youthful body. But lately, as he got to know Yza’s personality, he found himself drawn to her. Especially after she confessed her love for him. He hadn’t even managed to respond because he was too shocked. That morning, he spilled hot coffee on himself in surprise, burning his lip and tossing the mug out of

    41Yza could barely move properly in her seat due to Adam’s presence across her desk. Her husband hadn’t left since they Sis earlier with her friends. As usual, he was quiet, observant, and intimidatingly focused on her. His lingering stares were making her uneasy.To make matters worse, Adam had sent away an employee occupying the desk across hers, taking the seat himself. Yet, he wasn’t doing anything except watching her. She could feel her coworkers sneaking glances and exchanging knowing smiles, which only added to her embarrassment.“Such a drama king! So annoying!” she thought to herself.Annoying, but also thrilling. Earlier, a staff member handed her flowers and lunch from DJ, her childhood friend. Adam’s brows immediately collided, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t throw the flowers away or stop her from eating the food. However, the moment she opened the foil, Adam’s intense stare froze her mid-bite. She ended up offering the food to her coworkers instead. She was sure

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Epilogue

    Yza was frozen in her seat when she heard a familiar sweet voice fill the entire function hall after the wedding."I thought I wasn’t ready, For my heart to beat again But suddenly, you came into my life…"She stared at her husband as he walked out from behind the improvised stage. He had said he was going to the bathroom, but here he was, about to sing.His eyes immediately sought her face and then showed a very light but heartwarming smile.She automatically felt very emotional. Who wouldn’t be moved if someone as handsome as him serenaded her in front of everyone on their wedding day at the church?And in fairness, his voice was beautiful. He had a hidden talent for singing, but just like his personality, it was very hidden and hard to reach. And with this Tagalog song, the first words that came out of his mouth seemed to fill her heart with love—love for her and for the two-month-old babies in her womb. Everything was given to her by God. If the challenges they went through were t

    Yza furrowed her brow as the taxi driver dropped her off right in front of the condominium where she was staying, after she got out.The condominium across from AD condominium? She only learned the name of that building now, despite having lived across from it for such a long time.She walked inside and the guard greeted her with a smile. “Are you going home here, Ma’am? Not to the other side?” The guard joked, to which she just smiled.What a gossip.When did Adam start living there? Was that the new place her grandmother mentioned where her husband was staying? So, they were right across from each other?She couldn’t help but feel a little giddy at the thought that maybe Adam had been secretly watching her, out of her sight and knowledge.“I’m heading to my husband’s place,” she told the guard and showed her name tag, which he quickly looked at.“Ah, to Sir Adam. Go ahead, Ma’am. He told me that if any beautiful woman comes by, I should let her in right away.” The guard said, but it

    53Yza was momentarily stunned by the woman in front of her. Her brain couldn't process the simple instruction the woman had just given her, telling her that Adam wanted her to go to the main building of the company again. What could he possibly need from her this time? She had just come from there. She had also just been here. It seemed like her husband's mind was slowly unraveling."Ma'am Yza?" The woman in front of her called out since Yza had been staring blankly for a while."H-Huh? O-Okay, I'll go," Yza replied, still not fully aware of what she was saying.She glanced at Tiffany as she sang while looking at her computer."Bring back the sweetness of love, let the heart that loves be heard again..." Tiffany sang, her shoulders shaking with the rhythm."Awwooohhh..." her friends joined in, causing Yza to laugh softly before standing up."Do I have to go, Tiffany?" Yza bit her finger nervously.She suddenly felt uneasy, thinking of facing Adam again.It reminded her of when she fi

    52Yza went straight to branch five after talking to Adam, but several hours had passed, and her anger still hadn't subsided. She felt like she was going to explode from the mix of anger, jealousy, hurt, and love. She didn’t know why she felt this way, but it was as if her feet were pulling her back to the main building so she could slap him without stopping.She felt that her attempt to throw the vase there wasn’t enough.Frustrated, she bent over the desk and started crying again, so she grabbed her hair in frustration.“Are you okay, bf?” Tiffany asked her from the table across. She was surprised, but Yza shook her head repeatedly.“I’m not okay. It was so wrong for me to go to his office. I was so... disgusted. I’m angry because he didn’t say anything. He’s still closed off to me.” She started crying again and buried her head in the desk, crying quietly.“He doesn’t love me anymore. He thought that money could ease the pain I feel. He doesn’t love me anymore, Tiffany. He loves som

    51The taxi window automatically rolled down as it reached the guardhouse entering the ADL Motors building—main branch."guard..." Yza said to the two guards, who immediately stood upright when they saw her face."Ma'am Elyzabeth Alexa," they said in unison, making her furrow her brows.Why did they recognize her?"Go ahead, Ma'am," the man said, so she nodded, though still confused.The driver continued driving into the driveway while smiling.When she got out at the main entrance of the building, she immediately saw a billboard with Adam’s face on it. He had that fierce look. So arrogant, yet so cowardly and childlike in his actions and decisions.Deceptive! Her head heated with anger.As she entered the building, she froze in shock upon seeing her own face on the large tarpaulins around the area.Why was her picture up there? Elyzabeth Alexa Brina-de Lorenzo, CEO of ADL Motors.What kind of nonsense is this? Her eyebrows furrowed, and it seemed like smoke was coming out of her nose

    Yza was getting some fresh air on the apartment balcony. It had been months since she last did this, ever since she and Adam got married. Now that she was back in the apartment, she would often step out for some fresh air in the evenings to relax and clear her mind from overthinking.Lately, she's been very emotional and doesn't even know why. Maybe it's because she misses her husband, who seems to have completely forgotten about her.She was starting to fall into deep thought again. She was supposed to be relaxing, but stress filled her mind instead.She missed Adamson so much, and there were times when she wanted to call or text him, but she wasn’t sure if his number was still active. On top of that, she felt embarrassed. She didn’t want to seem desperate, especially since he distanced himself from her.She wasn’t proud, but she was discreet when it came to handling situations like that.She glanced at her phone again. She was looking at the only picture of Adam she had, and once ag

    WEEKS passed so fast.Still, Yza was in the process of learning to live her life all alone. She would join Tiffany for meals, who almost always brought groceries, and never missed bringing her favorite imported chocolates. Every single piece of those chocolates reminded her of Adam. The only difference was, they didn’t come from her husband.Tiffany’s boyfriend was quite impressive. Even though they weren’t married yet, he was already spending a lot on her. Yza thought she was just lucky and happy for her friend. Maybe it wasn’t meant for her to be happy for the rest of her life with the true love she had found.She had been staring blankly at Adam’s mansion for a while now, unable to get out of the taxi. She was deeply in debt to her friend because of her daily expenses, including her allowance. What could she ask from her grandmother, who couldn’t work and was also being supported by Adamson? She hoped she could graduate soon so she could take care of her grandmother and support her

    When Yza woke up, Adam was already gone. She had expected it, but it still hurt to open her eyes and not see her husband.Her eyes immediately welled up, and tears rolled down her cheeks, but she quickly wiped them away.Her husband was gone, but what remained was the small ache in her heart. Was last night really their last?No one knew.She longed for a lifetime of love in his arms, but she didn’t want to be trapped forever with someone who couldn’t trust the sincerity of her love. Moreover, she was hurt by the revelations he admitted, that he hurt others just to win her, but he couldn’t stand by her.She already knew. Adam had asked her to stay with him only because he needed her, but deep down, he always doubted she wouldn’t leave him for someone else. He nearly tied her down, just to keep her from escaping. But he probably felt guilty when one day, he suddenly declared his love for her.He felt so guilty to tie her in a relationship where there’s no trust because she truly believ

    ADAM lovingly raked Yza's body. His eyes were filled with tears at that event in their lives but his grandmother seemed right that he needed to find himself and find where Yza was in him. Pain strikes his chest like lightning, gashing his heart several times. He saw his wife crying silently in pain. Her eyes were closed and she was waiting for him to possess her. He'll get back to it when he's ready and hopefully it'll still be there by then. He has to be strong enough and set his mind, make it ready to accept something positive especially the negative ones. He must learn how to stand in equality. He must learn how to accept failures and not just winning alone. If he is always a winner, he should learn to accept defeat. He finally took it off and kissed it on the lips. He positioned himself in between her thighs and started poking her center with his hard manhood. His hands roamed his body with no tenderness. It was as if it affected every corner of his body. He loves ev
