Best BuddiesAdrian's POVI had to stop by the best wine-selling store in the city to get him his favorite wine. As much as I hated to admit it, it was the only way I could have a proper conversation with him. His carefree and nonchalant attitude was always getting on my nerves.I drove into a large villa with flowers surrounding it. I stepped down from the car to see a familiar face staring at me with a welcoming smile on his face."Welcome, Young Master Martinez" He greeted politely."Hello, Sebastian" I responded, looking past him. The doorstep was right there."Where's Javier?" I asked."He's in the living room" Sebastian replied. "I'm glad you came. He's been so bored lately.""Yeah.. he's always bored when he has no party to attend or a woman to flirt with," I said with sarcasm in my voice. "Let's go in."I carried the package I got along with me and walked into the house with Sebastian behind my trail.True to his words, the silly fellow was sitting in the living room, watching

BulliedLuisa's POV"Argh!" I growled in frustration as I kicked the air.It's been a few hours since I woke up and I was already bored. Staying at home had never been my thing. I had always been either at the Spotlight Desk or at a shooting scene.To crown it all, my stomach had grumbled for the umpteenth time today. I was tempted to go to the kitchen, but the last night's incident was still fresh in my memory.What if I got there to find the cupboards and refrigerator locked again?Unfortunately, the worms in my belly weren't ready to reason with me. Well, I could try to check it out.I jumped off the bed and put my slippers on, walking to the door. I opened it and stepped out. The corridor was quiet as usual.I trotted downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. I strutted in to see two ladies dressed in maid uniforms cleaning up the kitchen."Good evening" I mumbled and walked straight to the refrigerator. I opened it and found a bottle of milk.I was about to grab it when I fe

PoisonedAdrian's POV"Javier" I called to make something clear. "You can't claim to be my friend if you plan to keep relying on your parents to take care of your needs. You need to find something important to do. You have the intellectual ability to lead the company. What exactly are you still waiting for?""I've been having that thought too," Javier said solemnly. "I want to take over the company, but there's a problem and I need your help in solving it.""What's that?" I inquired.Javier sighed deeply and leaned against the sofa with a somber look."It's the board members" He began. "They created a faction in the company that is threatening to vote my father out if he doesn't step down and hand over the CEO position to his stepbrother, my uncle.""Your father has a stepbrother?" I asked in surprise, realizing I didn't know much about his family whereas he was close to mine."I'm sorry" I added, seeing the accusing look on his face."Yes, my dad has a stepbrother" Javier replied. "M

A suspectAdrian's POV"Oh, hello, Mr. Gonzalez" Lydia smiled brightly, her words dripping with a mix of politeness and sincerity. "I was just about to call you."Her gaze shifted to me and wavered slightly. She clearly couldn't recognize me; not everybody could."What are you doing here, Lydia?" Javier berated sharply."I beg your pardon?" Lydia said, her brows raised in confusion. "The CEO passed out after his meeting was concluded. Everyone had left and I was the only one with him, so I asked the driver to bring us here immediately.""Oh, really?" Javier scoffed. "I thought he fired you."Lydia's expression darkened for a moment before it brightened up. "He did, but he called me back a few days after and pleaded that I resumed work the next day.""How come I didn't know about that?" Javier probed, his voice full of disbelief.Lydia shrugged as she fiddled with her hair. "It's probably because you show no interest in the company's affairs.""Er.. that's enough" Dr. Daniel interrupte

PunishmentLuisa's POV"Who did this to you?" Adrian barked, making me flinch. "Answer me!""Don't bother about it" I said, trying to pull my hand away from him.What audacity did he have to barge into my room and input fear in me? Honestly, I was scared. I also could understand why he was reacting like this. It couldn't possibly be because of my problems."Come with me" Adrian ordered.My legs were already weak, so when he pulled me towards him, I fell on his chest.He dragged me towards the door and we walked out. We trotted downstairs and stopped walking when we arrived at the living room. I sighted a large number of people, both male and female, all dressed in maid uniforms standing on the other side of the room. I shifted my gaze to the left to see Charles holding a laptop in his hands.Surprisingly, I spotted the two maids, who had bullied me, kneeling on both sides of Charles, grabbing onto his legs and shedding tears.What a spectacular sight to behold! I had a feeling I was a

Bad newsAdrian's POV"What is it?" I asked sharply, annoyed by the suspense.She just kept staring at me. I wasn't that hard on her, was I?Luisa swallowed hard. "It's.. it's my manager. He wants me at the company right now."I eyed her suspiciously. "With your injury? How do you plan to hide that?""He doesn't know about the injury yet" Luisa replied, holding her wrist with the other hand. "I'll wear a coat to hide it from everyone.""Okay," I agreed.Normally, I shouldn't have, but I felt she needed a break. It was my fault such a thing happened to her in the first place. I should have made things clear to all of them in the building.I watched Luisa stand up and walk to the stairs. An idea suddenly popped into my head."Luis...." I trailed off, feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket.I stood up and removed it. I saw I had received a message from Miguel; a profitable one at that.With a smile on my face, I took my time to review the files and videos I had received. I couldn't help b

ApprehensionLuisa's POV"Ah! What is fucking wrong with me?" I cursed, hitting my head with my purse.Adrian's words this morning had been bothering me since I stepped out of that mansion. What did he mean by he had something to show me? Was he talking about the torture room or was he referring to... No, I was thinking too much about it. I should focus more on what was waiting for me at the company.Gabriel had called later on and told me to wait till morning before coming."God help me" I exclaimed, oblivious to my environment."Madame, are you okay?" Someone asked.It was at that moment I recalled that Adrian had gotten a personal chauffeur for me. He had approached me earlier today. I was hesitant at first, but I had to agree to avoid what happened with Sarah just because I wanted to take a cab.Normally, A TV personality and model like me had a personal chauffeur assigned to me by the industry, but I couldn't call him to come pick me up at Adrian's mansion. It would arouse suspic

IneligibleAdrian's POV"Who was kidnapped?" I asked icily. "Your mum?""Yes," Javier replied, his voice trembling. "I already checked the CCTV cameras. She left the house without informing anybody. To crown it all, I tried to track her location but found no traces The signal was damp."I exhaled heavily. "How then are you sure that she was kidnapped?""During the tracking, the cameras stopped working when she was out of our territory" Javier explained. "That's suspicious because our camera has a wide coverage. We also found one of her diamond earrings lying on the floor."He paused to breathe then continued. "We also found footprints in the same place, particularly for men. All this evidence points to the fact that she was kidnapped."Immediately, I dug my phone from my pocket and sent a text to James to work on it, starting from the Gonzalez's territory."So, why are we here?" Javier asked innocently.I scoffed. "To take the company back from the usurpers, of course. There should be

ConfessionAdrian's POV"Boss, I found something" Miguel announced. "Pardon me, but I hacked into Madame's phone.""Go on" I urged."The second to the last person she spoke to was a colleague of hers in Spotlight Desk. Her name is Rose" Miguel further revealed. "They were supposed to meet at Madame's house, but she met with someone else. That isn't the important thing right now. The main thing is the same Rose was seen going into Elite Club through the CCTV footage an hour before Madame got there."I was confused. "Unharmed?""Yes, boss" Miguel affirmed. "She went in on her own accord. We need to find her before she escapes. I believe the men you captured are in the best position to help solve the mystery.""Can't you dig further?" I queried, clenching my fist."I can, and I'm on it, but we need the men's confession too" Miguel stated with conviction.A moment passed before I replied. "Fine. I'll head to the basement when I'm done sorting the hospital issues. For the time being, focus

RescuedAdrian's POV"Get your filthy hands off her now" I commanded with an indifferent voice. I realized showing my emotions would only put me at a disadvantage. Yes, it was my territory, but I needed to maintain my image."Or what?" The man challenged, snapping his fingers. Two of his men tossed their guns aside and dashed towards me with their fist balled, ready for a fight."Hmph...." I pursed my lips and dodged the first fist effortlessly. I grabbed the second one and twisted it, making the man wince in pain.Satisfied, I sent him flying backward with a strong kick. The first man was staring at me with shock written on his face.It wasn't my fault. I barely showed my skills unless I was pushed to the wall. Also, controlling my strength was quite difficult. My blood was already boiling with excitement. They had angered me, awakening the demon in me.I swiftly grabbed his neck with his hands and slammed his head against the wall. I repeated the same actions again and again till he

AttackedAdrian's POV"He's gay!!" James yelled, his face etched with horror. "What the actual heck?!"I smirked. "I know, right? I texted Miguel before Philip arrived. I told him to prepare more men and get incriminating evidence that could bring the enemy down.""You mean you knew about this all along?" James questioned, looking upset.I shook my head in denial. Not like I owed him any explanation, but he needed to know the truth."I didn't know about the truth until you mentioned it" I countered. "I'm surprised too, but nothing in this world is supposed to catch us unaware. There's still more we haven't known of yet."James laughed wryly, scrolling through his phone. "I get your point, Big boss, but this man is old. Videos are trending online, except for the fact that his face is not visible. He's lucky.""He's not" I argued. "We made it that way. If he doesn't get his people off my land within the stipulated time, the full video will be released.""Gross!!" James whined. "It's dis

HopelessLuisa's POV"How much is the money?" I berated, cutting him off."Money?" The man laughed. "Who told you we needed your money?""What then do you want?" I asked, sensing an ominous sign."Keep quiet and hear him out. Stop jumping to conclusions on your own" Spencer chipped in, his tone threatening. I didn't dare speak after that.I remained silent, waiting patiently to hear their demand. Suddenly, the door opened and men holding guns trooped in with a grim look on their faces.My heart jumped into my mouth as I stared at them with fear written on my face. It was not what I planned for.My head snapped to the two men sitting in front of me."What's going on here?" I questioned, my voice trembling. "I thought the deal was between the three of us.""It is" Spencer replied, smirking. "We just need to make sure you follow every instruction given to you without showing even a tiny little bit of resistance. Stanley, over to you.""Now, listen" The elderly man called Stanley said, hi

A shocking revelationAdrian's POV"You killed him?" James asked, his brows raised. "Why?""He became worthless the moment he failed to perform the simple task given to him" The old man stated, blowing the smoke off the pistol in his hands. "I don't hold on to cowards for too long."I scoffed inwardly, observing the man. It was quite rare to find old men like him with such guts. Others would have left their lackeys to do the dirty work."Now, back to business" He broke the silence, glaring hard at James. "Were you the one who knocked my right-hand man down?"James swallowed hard and threw a glance at me. He wasn't scared, was he?The old man's gaze was piercing. Even the rest of the men my people had managed to subdue were shaking in fear. I guessed it was understandable.Getting involved was inevitable then."He did" I replied with an indifferent voice, dipping my hand into my pocket. "Your men trespassed by working on the land that legally belongs to me, so they had to pay. Don't te

First VisitLuisa's POV"Elite Club" I declared, getting into the cab I had ordered a few minutes ago. "Please, be quick."Strangely, the cab didn't move. I saw the driver frown through the rearview mirror."Elite Club?" He questioned, sounding displeased.I nodded in affirmation. "Yes, Elite Club. What's wrong?""Haven't you heard the rumors surrounding that place?" He questioned, his voice laced with warning. "You should have heard of people going in and never coming out again."I broke down in cold sweat. "What?!""Yes, it's a club everyone is familiar with here in the Philippines. You should have heard of it" The driver stated. "I don't mind taking you there since I'll be parking outside where the crowd would see me. But if you go inside, your life won't be in your hands anymore."It was my first time hearing about Elite Club. It sounded unique at first. Maybe it was unique in its way. At that point, I recalled my conversation on the phone with the strange man.I shook my head to

DefeatAdrian's POV"Big boss, I'll take care of the ponytail guy" James whispered, his lips curved into an eerie smile as his hands balled into a fist.I smiled knowingly. "I know. You can do whatever you want. Just don't get hurt, and try hard not to show all your trump cards; I can't risk allowing the enemies to predict our every move.""Roger that, Big boss" James replied absentmindedly. I was certain the wind had blown half of my words past his ears.Our men had already engaged in one-on-one combat with the enemies. The strength and teamwork of the enemies were way beyond what I had imagined. It was going to take a lot of guts to deal with them. I just hoped it wasn't going to lead to the part where I got involved."Okay," James snarled and dashed towards Scorpio, who already took a fighting stance.Instantly, the sound of fists echoed through the air. To my uttermost surprise, the Scorpio guy was quite deceptive; I could see it in his moves. James had received a few blows alread

AbductedLuisa's POVWhat in the world was she doing here?Immediately, our gaze met, and her eyes glittered with excitement. The thought of turning back and leaving crossed my mind, but for a reason, I couldn't move."Luisa!" She screamed out, rushing to me. "I've been trying to reach you for a week now."I inhaled sharply to calm my racing heart."How did you get my house address, Sarah?" I questioned with a cold voice, my gaze darkened.Sarah shrugged. "I had to speak to someone at Spotlight Desk. Don't blame me, it was the only way I could get to you. I was here last night, but you weren't around."I kept listening to her blabbering, anger rising in the pit of my stomach. Whoever disclosed such confidential information to her had put my life at risk. What if she came here with bad intentions?I took a deep breath. "Sarah, now that you've seen me, you can leave now."I tried to walk away, but she pulled me back. The image of the last incident flashed before my eyes. I swatted her h

SOSAdrian's POVIt was the audacity for me. Alvarez Innovation was a growing company that started four years ago, unlike Santoria Industries which has been in existence for decades now.Perhaps, their head knew nothing about the power we held in Asia. It seemed some people just needed to be lectured the hard way to instill discipline into them."Big boss" My bodyguards acknowledged me in unison.I nodded in approval and turned to one of them. "Go tell the head of our construction workers to keep working. Whatever's going to happen shouldn't bother them.""Noted, boss" He replied, and walked away.The rest of them didn't need to be told. They all marched towards the place the enemies claimed to be their territory. I didn't even need to be at the front line. Soon enough, bones cracked and shrill screams echoed through the air.James walked up to me with a satisfying smirk on his lips."Big boss, the man we spoke to earlier wants to say something" He revealed."Bring him over" I ordered
