Meanwhile, in Arnaldo’s office, his friends arrived one by one, the reason for that sweet night.

“Hey, man, it looks like you’re unusually happy today! You’ve got a big smile on your face!” John teased as he suddenly entered his office.

“Maybe it’s because the ‘Lady in Red’ gave you quite the treat!” David joked as well.

“Bro, was it good? Was she great? That girl we got for you seemed pretty yummy. What’s her name?” Oscar teased, too.

“You guys are crazy!” Arnaldo said, smiling as he threw his pen at his friends.

“I got a scolding from my mom because of what you guys did. Sandra caught us; she walked in on us in my room. But seriously, guys, this girl. She’s really different. I don’t know! But she left an impact on me!”

“I even felt bad because Sandra and Kenzo ganged up on her, pulling her hair. Everything went chaotic since my mom was at the mansion at the time. Sigh.” Arnaldo continued telling his friends.

“So, what’s the deal with that girl? You mean you didn’t even get her name?” Oscar asked, disappointed.

“Exactly, man! I didn’t get her name. Worse, I didn’t even see her face clearly! This morning, there was chaos again in the mansion because Sandra caught us, and her friend Kenzo was with her,” Arnaldo replied.

“It must have been a real mess, bro! I can already imagine Sandra being a tiger! And I bet Auntie was furious,” David added.

The friends continued chatting and teasing Arnaldo. They often teased him because, despite his good looks and charm, he wasn’t into chasing women. So, they set things up for that night to “baptize” their friend before he got tied down to Sandra.

“Seriously, guys! What did you put in my drink? It hit me hard, and I still have a headache!” Arnaldo questioned his friends.

“Don’t worry about it, bro. But did you have fun? Hahaha,” they teased.

“It was nothing! Hahaha,” one of them replied.

“You guys are crazy! You’re trying to make me like you! But you know I’m already tied down to Sandra, no matter what,” Arnaldo said with a sigh.

“Let’s go for a coffee break. Let’s head to the Starbucks downstairs so you can clear your head. You’re way too deep into your work, man. You’re wasting your good looks,” John suggested to his friend.

They all stood up one by one from their seats.

John was also a business owner. At 25, he already owned a large company.

Oscar was the CEO of several well-known hotels and big casinos in the Philippines. He handled the family business.

David was a businessman who managed the luxury bags and shoes brands popular throughout Asia. He inherited the business from his aging parents, who could no longer handle the operations.

As for Arnaldo, he was known as the “man of steel,” controlling many of the big projects not only in the Philippines but also abroad. He was a contractor who built bridges, buildings, and casinos.

In addition to his family’s clothing business, which he also managed after the incident involving his sister Angela, Arnaldo made sure to focus on his construction firm since that’s where he became known to big investors.

His mother, Veronica, nearly went crazy after the incident that took his sister Angela’s life, so Arnaldo didn’t oppose anything she wanted, including the arranged marriage to Sandra. They did everything to make their mom happy. The same went for Gener, who didn’t object to anything his wife wanted.

Veronica loved Angela dearly, as she was their only daughter. Like Arnaldo, Angela was a beautiful woman who attracted any man who laid eyes on her. She had many suitors, from famous actors to politicians and businessmen, both in the Philippines and abroad. Angela graduated cum laude from Harvard University as a lawyer. Because of this, she received numerous job offers to work at various law firms.

Angela chose to work at a law firm in New York.

“Sweetheart, isn’t the work you’re doing dangerous? You know how many bad people are here in America,” Veronica reminded her daughter during a visit, as she missed her.

“Mom, you know I love what I’m doing here! I want to help innocent people get justice,” Angela replied to her mother.

“Yeah, I know, sweetheart. Just take care of yourself here. Your dad and I are flying back to the Philippines soon. We can’t leave the business for too long, and your dad has meetings with investors. We also need to visit our supplier in China. We’ll be flying there after a week,” Veronica told her daughter.

“Yes, Mommy! You and Daddy be careful on your flight. I’ll take you to the airport, okay? I love you, Mommy and Daddy. And tell Arnaldo I miss him—he’s been so busy he hasn’t visited me here,” Angela said sweetly, kissing her mother on the cheek and hugging her, as well as her father.

“Yes, Arnaldo has been super busy. He got another project in Dubai. The Sheikh is building a new bridge there.” Veronica hugged her daughter back, showering her with kisses and reminders.

At the airport, her parents bid farewell, waving as they entered the boarding gate. Angela smiled as she watched them leave. She was happy, even though their visits were rare due to their busy schedules with the family business. Angela herself was swamped with cases, making it hard for her to return to the Philippines often.

She was on her way home to their shared apartment, where she and her friends lived together to save on expenses.Ian and Sophia both came from well-off families. But they enjoyed sharing the three-bedroom apartment with Amelia, as they had been close friends since their university days. Even after graduating and starting their jobs, they remained inseparable. Ian, being part of the LGBT community, felt safe and accepted around Amelia and Sophia, unlike with his family, who couldn’t accept him for being gay.“Bessy, are you okay?” Ian asked Amelia.“I told you before to leave that jerk!

    The two groups started introducing themselves, but Arnaldo and Amelia had no idea about the plans their friends had made. “And why isn’t she joining you guys? Sorry for asking, just curious?” David asked. Since Sophia and Ian were already drunk, they spilled the real reason they were at the bar to the people they had just met. “Because she caught her long-time boyfriend, who’s also a repeat cheater, going to a motel with another woman. “ Sophia whispered” We feel sorry for our friend, she’s so kind, which is why that scumbag keeps taking advantage of her,” Sophia said, anger rising as she recalled their friend’s situation. She went on with the story, as if she’d known the others for a long time. Meanwhile, the other group just laughed at Sophia’s lively storytelling. “Ohhh, so your friend is single?” John asked. “Y

    REMINISCINGAMELIA: I know I drank too much that night. I’m also annoyed with my friends because they let me go with a guy we just met. But I enjoyed it; I admit that. I can’t forget what happened that night. I know something happened between us, and even though I was very drunk, I still remember everything that occurred. My femininity is still tingling, even though I feel pain in my lower body. I can’t help but recall that part of what happened between us. It was the first time I allowed a guy to engage with me. I felt every kiss and every touch from the guy who was with me in that room that night. I don’t know why, but there was some kind of electricity coursing through every nerve in my body. I felt his hand moving down to my femininity while he kissed my breasts. The sensation was incredible as he tasted my essence. When he entered me, it created a strange feeling. My sensations intensified, especial

    My senses back to reality. I hurriedly jumped out of bed. I was startled to see the time on the wall clock beside the bed. I was about to be late for work at the office. But before I could reach the bathroom,I felt pain all over my body, as if I had been beaten. Shaking my head, I walked, but I really needed to hurry. My sleep had been too good since I got home to where I was staying. I felt a sharp pain in her vag*na. I closed my eyes in pain every time water hit it. But remembering the time for work, I quickly took a shower and got ready. I quickly got into my car. Fortunately, at that moment, there wasn’t much traffic, so I arrived at the office building quickly. I rushed to the elevator. When I pressed the button, I didn’t notice the person I bumped shoulders with. I just apologized and went straight inside. Before I could lift my head to fix my appearance and check myself in the elevator mirror, the doors of the elevator closed, so I didn’t see who the woman was that i bumped

    “Sorry, Sir! I told Ma’am Sandra that you were busy, but she insisted,” Arnaldo’s secretary, Allison, said nervously. She was afraid of Sandra, but even more afraid of losing her job. Arnaldo was known as a strict boss. Several secretaries had come and gone because he didn’t want to repeat his instructions. “It’s okay, Allison, you can leave!” he said calmly to his secretary. Meanwhile, Sandra shot a sharp glance at the young man’s secretary. Arnaldo was still bent over, busy reading a proposal from an investor who wanted to enter his business. Allison quickly exited the office, hurrying without looking back at Sandra. “Love! Try this! It’s your favorite. Mommy Veronica said you should have left the mansion right away since you didn’t have breakfast,” Sandra said, trying to feed Arnaldo, but he turned away. “I’m full! Thank you! John brought food here! We had lunch already. Can I finish reviewing this proposal?” Arnaldo replied, turning his gaze toward Sandra. Sandra loo

    Sandra’s parents were happy when she and Arnaldo finally left their house because they had heard what the young man said, and they knew that their long-awaited wedding would still happen. However, Arnaldo remained silent in the car. Sandra, on the other hand, kept chatting and flirting with him. He didn’t pay much attention to her because he was preoccupied with thoughts of the woman he had been with that night. He couldn’t shake off the pleasure he had experienced. After they finished dinner, Sandra suggested they chill out at a bar. She sweet-talked Arnaldo, and he eventually agreed to her request because he had promised his mom, Veronica, that he would make things right. He vowed not to hurt his mother’s feelings again. She had been furious with him after the chaos at the mansion, and she would only calm down once he resolved things between him and Sandra. Since the incident, Sandra refused to go to the mansion, knowing that her mom, Veronica, wouldn’t be able to bear being

    Inside the room, Sandra began to remove Arnaldo’s clothes one by one. She was about to change his outfit because her plan was just to sleep next to him and make him think something had happened between them. Sandra loved Tim; she was deeply infatuated with her secret partner. She had told Tim before executing her plan that night, promising she wouldn’t give herself to anyone else. But because of Arnaldo’s attractive physique, she was tempted to tease him. After removing his boxer, she played Arnaldo’s d*ck and it surprisingly it began to respond and stand up. When it saluted her touch, she began to play with the head of his d*ck using her tongue. Arnaldo opened his eyes, but the effect of what Sandra had done to him was intense. Sandra was surprised when he suddenly pulled her close, looking straight into her eyes. She thought he might get angry. However, what Sandra didn’t expect was that in that moment, Arnaldo remembered Amelia and the heat they had shared. Suddenly, Arna

    Veronica sent for the two to join her for breakfast. Since they were already ready, they went down to the dining area. Veronica greeted them with a smile. She gave a beautiful smile to her son, whom Arnaldo hadn’t seen in a long time. He was glad to see that his mother was lively again. Gener, as usual, remained quiet but greeted Sandra and the child. After breakfast, Veronica invited her beloved Sandra to join her for shopping. Meanwhile, Arnaldo said goodbye to his parents and Sandra, as he was heading to his office. Veronica turned to Sandra. “Oh dear! You should visit here more often; I’ve missed you! I know Arnaldo can’t resist you. I just don’t understand what got into that boy’s head to bring a girl here,” Veronica said affectionately but somewhat irritated. “Mommy, Arnaldo and I have already talked about that. I’ve forgiven him. He explained everything to me. It wasn’t his fault. I understand that many women are drawn to Arnaldo, but he promised me it won’t happen

    “Oh, you silly girl! Don’t worry about it. Consider it done,” Veronica said reassuringly, pulling out her checkbook from her bag and writing the amount. “Here, dear, 100 million—good as cash! You can withdraw it tomorrow.” “Thank you so much, Mommy!” Sandra exclaimed, hugging and kissing Veronica. “But please, Mommy, don’t let anyone else know I asked you. They’ll be mad at me.” “Of course, dear. It’s between you and me. Now go and rest—it’s getting late,” Veronica said, dismissing her with a smile. Sandra excitedly reported everything to Tim that night, including the fact that she could pay Mr. Kim 100 million as a down payment. The next morning, she went straight to the bank to withdraw the money while Tim eagerly waited at their condo with his men. When Sandra returned with the money in suitcases, Tim met her at the parking lot, grinning widely. “Thank you, sweetheart. You never let me down!” Tim said, kissing her passionately as he admired the suitcases full of cash. “S

    “Alright, alright, I agree! But you have to make sure that judge keeps his mouth shut about this to the Alcantaras. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble too, Sandra,” Tim finally relented, calming down. He knew his men were right—if he couldn’t pay Mr. Kim soon, the man would surely kill them for the huge amount they had embezzled. Worse, their families would also be dragged into it. “We still have another problem, Tim,” Sandra said seriously, just as they resolved one issue. “What now?” Tim asked irritably. “Amelia.” “What’s with her now? Sandra, if it’s not urgent, can we not talk about her right now?” “Tim, listen to me. We need to deal with her as soon as possible. I was at Eunice’s office earlier—the HR manager at Arnaldo’s company,” Sandra said seriously. “They must not meet, Tim. I found out from Eunice that Amelia is set to be the next head of their Finance Department. If their paths cross, everything we’ve worked for will be ruined.” Tim stared at her, processing what

Checking the caller ID, he saw it was Sandra, but he couldn’t afford any distractions now. This deal was too important, so he turned off his phone, ensuring nothing could interrupt. The contraband they were handling was bound for Cebu, and his contact had just arrived. The deal was high stakes — both sides were heavily armed, with guards stationed outside the abandoned warehouse to prevent any interference. The drugs they were handling were worth 500 million pesos, and they took every precaution to avoid law enforcement.“Charles!” Tim called his trusted associate, who handed him the suitcases containing the drugs.One of their contact’s men approached, each group keeping a respectful distance.

Her main concern was dealing with Amelia first.When Sandra reached the HR Department floor, she walked confidently to the HR Head’s office. People around her greeted her, but she ignored them, striding smartly without even a glance.Before she reached the door of the HR Head, her friend Eunice came out to meet her with a big smile and a warm greeting.“Hi, Sandra!

    Inside the bathroom, Sandra carefully took Arnaldo’s comb and placed it in a small bag. She needed it for the DNA testing, and she kept glancing at the door to make sure he wouldn’t suddenly come back into the bathroom. She felt relieved when she finally managed to secure the comb in her bag and saw Arnaldo leaving the mansion.She then looked for the right moment to excuse herself from her in-laws because she needed to meet with Tim at a coffee shop far from their subdivision.Tim greeted her at the door, and together they went straight to the counter. They ordered cake and cold coffee for Sandra. While they were waiting for their order, Sandra handed Tim the plastic bag with the comb inside. She placed it on the table, and Tim quickly took it. Sandra assured him that she wore gloves when she took the comb.Tim smiled at her with admiration for executing the task so well, lightly tapping her cheek in a playful manner. Sandra then happily ate her cake, whi

    When Arnaldo entered their bedroom, he saw Sandra seated on the plush sofa by the bed, watching a movie.“Sandra, if you’re not too tired, would you like to go out for dinner with me?” he greeted her.Sandra was taken aback by the sudden change in his behavior. Arnaldo rarely initiated conversations when he came home from work; he usually headed straight to the bathroom for a shower, then disappeared into his study room connected to their bedroom. He would only come to bed when it was time to sleep, settling on a small bed he had set up separately.“Oh! Hi, Arnaldo. I’m not tired; I don’t have anything going on. Sure, I’ll just change quickly,” she said, leaping up eagerly. Like a child, she rushed to get dressed, afraid he might change his mind. After all, this was a rare occurrence. Actually, in their entire time together, this was the first time he’d invited her out for dinner.Arnaldo also changed into something casual to feel comfortable. He

    Tim greeted the doctor with a sly smile and casually sat on the couch beside her desk, crossing his legs as if he were in his own home. The doctor knew he had an agenda; her receptionist had been nervous when calling to announce his arrival. Not wanting any trouble, she had calmly instructed her to send him straight to her office. “Yes, Tim, what can I do for you?” the doctor asked professionally. “I heard Sandra has a problem with the baby,” he began. “I don’t want any beating around the bush. Sandra can’t have an MRI because then the Alcantara family will find out about the issue. They must not learn that there’s something wrong with the baby. Or, are you even thinking?” he said arrogantly. “If Sandra gets an MRI, there’s a chance they’ll discover the baby isn’t Arnaldo’s. You know Sandra has to safely deliver that baby! There’s something I need to know from you!” he said in a commanding tone, as if talking to

    When she returned to the mansion, she was with Kenzo. She showed her in-laws the things she bought for her baby boy. She lied to them, saying her baby was healthy. She even showed them an ultrasound picture given by her doctor. Since they didn’t really know how to interpret the ultrasound results, Sandra simply showed them the image of her baby from the ultrasound. They were pleased that the gender was very visible. The elderly couple thanked Kenzo for always accompanying Sandra during her check-ups, as well as on her other errands.“Mom! Kenzo and I, along with some other friends, are having a get-together tonight because Olena is throwing a farewell party—she’s getting married to her fiancé from Canada!” Sandra explained to Veronica.“Oh, is that so, dear! No problem. I’ll have the driver pick you up when you’re ready to come home. Which hotel are you meeting at?”“Oh, no need, Mom! It’s going to end late. We’ll be staying over.

    Sandra left her check-up feeling restless. Dr. Renata had also given her a request for an MRI, which only added to her worries. “Bestie, Mommy Veronica cannot know about the baby’s condition. They might realize he isn’t Arnaldo’s.” Sandra’s mind was a mess, and she hadn’t moved from the doorway of Dr. Renata’s office. “If I get an MRI, that’s the end for me,” she muttered. Kenzo comforted her, though he was equally unsure of what to do. He felt sorry for the baby, knowing the potential issues that could affect its development. He took Sandra’s arm to support her, but then he noticed something in the hospital lobby. Sandra, lost in her own thoughts, hadn’t seen it. “Hey! Isn’t that the woman you caught in Arnaldo’s room?” Kenzo pointed at Amelia with irritation. He remembered her because she usually wore glasses at the office, but now she wasn’t. “Where?” Sandra’s attention snapped back, her interest piqued by Kenzo’s words. “There, sitting over there,” Kenzo pointed to where Amel
