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
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
AT ARNALDO’S COMPANYSandra called her friend, who was the head of the HR Department, and arranged to meet with her in person. This time, Sandra didn’t use the VIP elevator but instead took the staff elevator, avoiding a direct encounter with Arnaldo. 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! It’s been so long since you visited! It’s great to see you!” greeted Eunice, the head of HR at SB Group.Sandra kissed her on the cheek. “Yes, Eunice! I missed you too!” she replied, her words dripping with fake sweetness.Eunice laughed. “Sandra, I know that look! Come inside,” she said, inviting her in.Eunice offer
AT TIM’S CONDOSandra headed straight to the condo she shared with Tim, leaving him a message that she’d be waiting for him there.POV: TimMeanwhile, Tim was in the middle of a major transaction when his phone kept ringing incessantly. 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. The leaders
“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
“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
*SPG* The two stood up from their seats. Sandra took off her clothes. Tim seems to be thirsty for flesh, their intimate moment tooks time than usual because it's been a long time since the last time Sandra slept in their condo, usually their sex is quick. Even though there are many women he can pay to seduce, he is still loyal to Sandra. This girl is really crazy. He immediately took off his clothes. Sandra lay down on their bed and spread her legs. Tim went down on Sandra's pussy. It has a big belly so they are also becoming cautious. Tim inserted his finger into her pussy, ate it and licked her pussy. He rose and brought his weapon to Sandra's mouth. Sandra ate it as if she were eating ice cream, and she continued to eat it on Tim's dick. After a while, Tim rubbed his penis and it went down again on that part of Sandra. He positioned his weapon and Tim grabbed Sandra's thigh to help her open it. Tim crawled on top of it. "ahhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!" Sandra growled. Each beat* is fast, e
From afar, Sandra simply watched what they were doing to Amelia. She had no intention of stepping in, but she wanted to see how Tim and his group would torment her. Moments later, Tim removed the gag from Amelia’s mouth, allowing her to speak—making things even more exciting. POV: Amelia “Who are you?! Why are you doing this to me?!” Amelia demanded repeatedly from the men who had kidnapped her. She couldn’t see their faces as her eyes were still blindfolded. However, she could clearly hear the voices of the men. She knew there wasn’t just one of them, and it was unlikely their goal was to assault her. With her big belly, she was certain no one would lust after her. They laughed at her. One of them touched her body, sending waves of fear through her—not for herself but for the baby she was carrying. She was nearing her due date, and all she could think about was protecting her child. “You ask too many questions,” one of the men sneered. Another man stood behind her, grabbing her
I heard that Ms. Isabel was let go. She was reportedly terminated before her retirement.“You know, sis, it’s a good thing you already left. Ms. Isabel really got the short end of the stick. Can you believe it? She was only a few months away from retirement, and then suddenly she got terminated. For an unknown reason,” Ian shared.“We feel like Arnaldo really planned to get rid of Ms. Isabel. She was good at her job. Ian said he saw her called into the HR head's office, and when she came out, she was almost in tears. We only found out from the finance team that she was let go,” Sophia added.“Poor Ms. Isabel. She was so nice. And it’s such a shame because she was about to retire. She didn’t even make it. That’s why, sissy, I’m so grateful to Regan for always supporting Anthony and me. Here, we can move freely. I can go anywhere I want,” I responded to them. Sophia was holding Anthony, who was resting on her, while Ian sat in front of me.“And sis, did you know that your child and Arna
The next day, baby Anthony's caregiver, Ana, arrived. The security called me first to confirm Ana's access to our flat. They can't just come up without clearance, so when we go downstairs later, I’ll request for them to grant her access. Regan had already taught me yesterday where to ask for it, so I have an idea of what to do."Good morning, Mam. Amelia," Ana greeted me with a smile when I opened the door. "Ana, please don't call me 'Mam,' just Amelia," I told her. "I'm just not used to it. All my previous employers, even the Filipinos, I always called 'Mam.' Just let me know what Baby Anthony needs, and if he has any food allergies," Ana explained. Baby Anthony can now eat liquid foods. "By the way, Mam Amelia, Sir Regan also asked me to take care of Baby Anthony's checkup. We can go to the hospital now to register Anthony, so I can take care of the scheduling. It's important that we get him registered today.""Alright, Ana, we’ll just get ready. I also need to buy milk an
Once we got into the car, I thanked Regan for his help with me and my son. If it weren't for him, we'd still be hiding here in the Philippines. We placed baby Anthony in the car seat that Regan had prepared for him. I immediately connected to Regan's phone internet so I could call Ian and Sophia. I was sure they were already worried about how long our trip had taken."Sissy, we're here with Baby Anthony!" I told Sophia when she answered my video call. Ian quickly joined the conversation."Sis! I'm so glad you made it safely. Where’s Regan, sis? Show him!" Ian quickly asked. Regan was driving but listening to our conversation. He smiled at us. I pointed the camera at him, and he greeted them while keeping his eyes on the road."Hi Ian, Sophia! Sorry, I can't look at the camera, I'm driving," Regan said, greeting them."That's okay, Regan, take care of our friend. Thank you for helping her," Sophia said, almost in tears.Talking to Ian made me feel a bit down, so I said goodbye and made
"Hello Regan, it's Amelia!?" Amelia greeted the person on the other end of the line.Regan immediately stood up from where he was lying. He was about to sleep when his phone suddenly rang! He quickly answered it when he saw that it was Amelia calling."Amelia?! How are you? What’s going on?! How's Anthony doing?""I'm good, Regan. I guess you missed me. Anthony is okay too, he's asleep now. I called about the offer you gave me?""Of course, it’s been so long since we last talked. You've been really busy. That's good. I'm listening. Have you made a decision? I hope it's good news, PLEASE!""Haha! You're something else. Okay, just to make you happy, my answer is YES!" She joyfully announced to Regan."No way?! I'm going to take that seriously!""Yes. You don't seem to care. Alright, then never mind.""Oh wow, Amelia. It’s not like that, of course I’m happy. Great to hear that! We really need you in our company. We need someone we can trust, especially now. Whenever you're ready, let me
Because Amelia was busy taking care of her newborn baby, she didn’t notice how quickly the days had passed. She realized it was time to report back to her office. It had already been a week since her maternity leave ended, and she hadn’t gone to work. Her boss was already looking for her, and even Ian and Sophia were being pestered by Ms. Isabel.The truth was, Amelia had no plans of returning to her office. However, she didn’t know how to tell her friends about her decision. She was determined to follow through with her plan, even if it meant her friends would get mad at her. For her, losing her friends was far better than losing her child. That was something she couldn’t bear."Sis! Ms. Isabel has been following up on you nonstop. She said she’s been calling and messaging you, but you’re not responding," Ian said as soon as he arrived from work."Look at this baby! Oh, my goodness, he looks just like Daddy! Ninang’s little boy," Ian teased, playing with baby Anthony while talking to
FOUR DAYS LATERDr. Renata allowed Sandra and her baby to be discharged from the hospital. Meanwhile, Amelia was discharged a day later, on her fifth day in the hospital. The doctor also provided both of them with scheduled dates for their babies' monthly check-ups. Dr. Renata made sure Sandra and Amelia wouldn’t cross paths.SANDRA:Time passed quickly, and Sandra’s baby was already a month old. It was the day of their return visit to Dr. Renata’s clinic. Sandra didn’t have a hard time managing her baby, as they had hired a nanny to help care for him. The baby had his own room and slept there with the nanny.Sandra dressed up nicely for the baby’s check-up, while the nanny, Mia, prepared the baby and packed everything they’d need for the trip. It was also the baby’s vaccination day, so Sandra was ready with medication in case he developed a fever.Mia, the nanny, was in her early twenties. She was introduced by Tim, who trusted her to keep a close eye on Sandra. In addition to her sa
IN SANDRA'S HOSPITAL ROOMAfter three hours in the recovery room, Sandra was finally transferred to her hospital room. She had already woken up but was still groggy from the anesthesia administered by Dr. Renata. Inside the room, Sandra and Arnaldo's parents sat on the couch, eagerly waiting for her to fully regain consciousness. Beyond that, everyone was excited for the nurse to bring in the baby.Kenzo soon arrived with balloons and a teddy bear for the baby, as well as flowers for Sandra. He greeted everyone in the room politely, which is why Arnaldo's family liked him so much—he was always there for his friend. Although Sandra was still asleep, Kenzo joined the group and sat with them.Meanwhile, on his way back into the hospital, Arnaldo bumped into a man walking down the hallway with two companions. The impact nearly caused Arnaldo to drop the paper bag of food he was carrying. Surprised, he looked at the man, who quickly apologized.“Sorry, bro! The doctor asked me to buy some
Photos of Arnaldo and Sandra’s wedding surfaced in the news. For the first time, Amelia saw the face of the man she despised her entire life. Her blood boiled as she watched the news about them. She vowed to herself that she would never let this man take her child. The audacity of this man—to have her kidnapped and put her unborn baby at risk, all for the sake of money. Fortunately, she managed to escape from his men. She kept her feelings to herself because her friends were watching the news with her. “Sis! So that’s the CEO of our company?!” Sophia rested her chin on the sofa’s armrest, watching the news intently. “Girl, let me tell you something. I saw that woman—Sandra—at the cafeteria. And guess what? She was with another guy!” Ian chimed in, pointing at Sandra on the screen. “Are you sure it was her? I mean, why would anyone trade someone like him? Look at her; she’s about to give birth! Look at her stomach—she’s huge!” Sophia argued. “Girl, I may be a gossip, but I don’
As the days went by, her female employer became increasingly busy with her job after being promoted at the hospital. She attained a high-ranking position among the most skilled doctors. Meanwhile, her male employer’s abuse worsened. He started picking her up from school and driving her home. On nights when she stayed late, he would deliberately take a route through secluded areas before heading to their subdivision. While driving, he would slow down, grope her chest, and alternately squeeze and fondle her. He would play with her nipples, and when he grew tired of this, he would stop the car completely. He would lift her skirt and forcefully insert his fingers into her private parts while sucking on her breasts. When he became more aroused, he would force her to perform oral sex, shoving her head toward him without caring if she choked. Then, he would recline her seat and begin to assault her again. To her, he was nothing short of a demon. The abuse lasted
