The deal was high stakes — both sides were heavily armed, with guards stationed outside the abandoned warehouse to prevent any interference.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!! Sooo-Sorry Sir I didn't mean it! Karla screamed loudly. Everyone could sure hear it in the echoing silence of the mansion. Karla was shocked when Arnaldo's naked body was expose to her. Especially when she saw his d*ck still standing in anger and seemed ready to fight any battle anytime. Arnaldo was temporarily stunned by what was happening around him. He immediately took the comforter and covered his d*ck. Karla's scream made him fall back. Karla panicked and closed Arnaldo's door immediately. Her face was painted and really look scared, not because of what she saw but because of the trouble that will happen now. She haven't recover yet of what was happening when she hear the loud shout of Sandra. Arnaldo's Fiance . "ARNALDOOOOO! WAS IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Sandra was furious and crying. "Shame on you! You cannot control your self until our wedding day? I never forced myself on you even once!" Sandra stammered while crying and stare
When Arnaldo's parents arrived, Sandra was still crying. "Veronica, I can't accept this. Why Arnaldo did this to me!?” Veronica hugged Sandra to let her feel better. She has been very close to Veronica ever since she was reconciled by their family to become Arnaldo's wife, Sandra has taken care of Veronica and Gener, who is really admired and appreciated by the old couple because of their age they really need someone to take care of them. They treated Sandra to be their own child since they lost Angela due to a tragic incident she was involved in. That incident had a huge impact on Arnaldo's parents, especially on their Monmy Veronica. so he just agreed to his parents' wish to Marry Sandra to forget what happened to their only daugther Angela. Veronica felt sorry to Sandra for the situation she witnessed. She continue in hugging and rubbing her back to soothe Sandra from crying. Suddenly, he turned a sharp look at Amelia. "Hey Lady!. Who are you
Meanwhile, Kenzo and Sandra went to the receiving area of the guests. They went there to wait and cool off.Arnaldo went straight to their library, which also serves as his father's office room.Gener was just sitting on his swivel chair while Veronica was looking intently at her son who was sitting in front of Gener's office table."Arnaldo, what do you think you're doing?!" Veronica started with her son."Didn't you see what you did? Poor Sandra. You can see her that she can hardly breath. Where did you get that whore?! In the club?! In the street?!” Veronica agrily said to his son. “Come on Arnaldo, we know you are against our desire to marry Sandra but for God's sake, since your sister Angela disappeared you know I love Sandra just like your sister. I don't want Sandra to get hurt because of your nonsense?" She continued."Veronica, Honey! Your heart ! (Arnaldo’s father calmly said) Let
ARNALDO:I still can't off the memories on that day.Eventhough I was incredibly drunk and I knew my friends had spiked my drink, the memories of that night linger. I remember David drove us in his car, and a woman was sitting next to me. I knew she was also very drunk, but her beauty was evident. I closely observed the woman beside me, even though my vision was somewhat blurred. I could make out her round face with her dreamy eyes and her thin lips that seemed to beg on me to kiss them. When we arrived at the mansion, I remember we sent straight to the bedroom. Upon entering the room, I couldn't help but brush aside her wavy hair, which smelled incredible. For some inexplicable reason, I felt an electric sensation soursing through my body. I thightened my grip around her waist, and i finally claimed her enticing lips that had been tempting me all along. I tried so slip my tongue into her mouth, and be
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 ha
At the bar, just moments before the fateful encounter between Arnaldo and Amelia.“Woohoooo!” The music was blasting inside the bar where Amelia, Ian, and Sophia decided to have a good time. Amelia had just caught her boyfriend of seven years entering a famous motel in Manila. 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! He hasn’t given you anything but h
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

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. I’ve been getting a bit restless here at home, and Arn
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
AMELIA POV I’m excited again because it’s my fourth time visiting the clinic for my prenatal check-up! But today, I went alone. My appointment was early, so Ian and Sophia are still at work. It’s fine with me, though. So far, only Ms. Isabel knows that I’m pregnant, and my belly is still small! I don’t really mind if everyone at the office finds out, but I’m just not the type to chat much with my coworkers since my friends are all in different departments. I headed straight to Dr. Renata’s room, as the receptionist had let me in since the previous patient was finished. I had an abdominal ultrasound, and the doctor said my baby is healthy. On the monitor, I could see its little heartbeat. “Amelia, would you like to know the baby’s gender? I can already see it!” Dr. Renata asked. “Yes, Doc, so I can start buying baby items!” “There you go, Mommy Amelia. You see that?” (the doctor pointed to something on the monitor). “It’s a boy. Congratulations!” Amelia was thrilled at the news.
Sandra stood up again! Seeing that Tim was in a good mood, she brought out the pregnancy test she had taken and handed it to him. Tim looked at her, delighted. He suddenly pulled Sandra, making her jump with joy. “Yes, sweetheart, I’m going to be a dad!” In his excitement, he gave her a deep kiss. “Why didn’t you tell me right away?! I shouldn’t have been smoking in the room!” “But sweetie! We have to take care of something! I’m going to hold Arnaldo responsible as the father of this baby!” Sandra said firmly. Tim’s mood changed instantly at her words. “Are you crazy, Sandra?! Are you out of your mind? That’s my child, so I should be recognized as the father!” Tim yelled angrily. “Oh, come on, sweetheart!” Sandra caressed Tim’s chest. “Of course, you’re the father, but this is a good opportunity to speed up the wedding! We’ll use this baby as leverage with Arnaldo and his family. Don’t you think that once Veronica finds out I’m pregnant, she’ll insist we get married as soon as
