110: Wedding Plans
"Congrats! Another successful concert!" Luke hugged me at the same time, while Rita was still in tears by our side.
"You're really good, Ma'am!"Many more greetings happened backstage. Rose and Brenda, who had a banner before, didn't give up. It wasn't the first concert I had, but it felt like the happiest. Not because there were more spectators, but because they were waiting for me below the stage.When I entered the dressing room, I did not hesitate to find him. He was leaning on the small table, staring at the gifts I received from the fans.I slowed down and stared at him intently. He's now staring darkly at the boxes of chocolates. His brows were furrowed, seemed so annoyed at the innocent chocolates."You like?" I taunted.He looked up at me. I walked a bit faster and he immediately snaked his arm around my waist when I got closer."You're friends with Caesar Ferrer?" he asked.Related chapters

The elders laughed at her enthusiasm. Even the Sage laughed as well."Looks like you're the one getting married, ah?" Revo said."I'm just excited! I always dreamed of you all getting married. Now, it looks like I'm just waiting for Kuya Markus. You still don't have a plan, Kuya?"Morris, Sage and Revo stopped laughing. Markus's face was serious as he turned to his cousin. Maddy bit her lower lip subtly like she just realized she did something wrong."I don't think I will settle down anytime soon, Maddy. Do you mind waiting a little longer?" he said softly like he was taking good care of his cousin's feelings. But his eyes reflected darkness, one that is cold and too deep to be understood by anyone."Okay ..."A moment of silence prevailed over us. It was like the latter part of the topic created tension between the young Mongrecos. And I think their intense connection to each other is too strong to be sha
The Demoness Alpha 112: Love in Darkness
"Oh, Kaia is here." Jonas pointed to the girl wearing a pale pink dress. She was staring at the piano with her curious innocent eyes.His candle-like fingers traced the space in front of the piano. The amazement was etched on her pale face. Looking down, his long lashes were sharpened. Those have little curls at the end, making her eyes look so soft.Her hair is longer compared to previous visits. Although I heard she's only nine, the way she looks and move told me she's older than that. His demeanor was refined even as a child. And she has that paper white skin that I always notice every time it turns to pinkish white, when it's sunny or when from tiredness every time she helps her Mama."She's so pretty, isn't she? I'll make her my girlfriend once she's thirteen or fourteen," Carson said to me immediately."Why don't you prioritize your project? You're not here to fancy a little girl, Carson.""Ow. You sound like you
The Demoness Alpha 113: Promise of Lifetime
She needed to heal from her pain and I can do nothing to help her. It hurts to think but that's how love should be. Generous. Even you yourself are completely exhausted.I gave a small paper to Sandro."That's the agency that Mrs. Robles contacted for Kaia's bodyguards. I want you to do something about that. Make sure your staff are her bodyguards. I want a first hand communication with the persons guarding her."He smirked."What? You want me to cheat? My agency is honest, Sage. We're not kidnapping clients.""I'll pay. So basically, I am your client here.""You really like manipulation, huh?""Will you?" I asked impatiently.The corner of his lip lifted and he patted my shoulder. "I'll do it."Slowly, I noticed how she's slowly coping. I'm glad he's somehow recovering. But everytime she sees me, I see anger and fear in her eyes. He always walks away. So over the yea
The Demoness Alpha 114: Lives of Villains
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at the name engraved on the tombstone. Even after all the pain I've gone through the past years, even after all the manipulation he has done in my life, I still can't bring myself to stop my tears.Maybe because despite the pain I suffered then, I did not suffer in life and eventually, I was also able to be happy somehow. Maybe it was really the best decision that time. To sacrifice my dreams and love, so I could protect what I have now.I'm sorry for the disappointments, father. I whispered in the air silently.Though even I could turn back time, I won't correct my mistakes. Because I learned to love my life now. That's what I have now. And I won't sacrifice the life I have now for what I had years ago."Neri ..." Patrick called.I quickly wiped away the tears and turned around. He looked at me with worried eyes. But I only looked at him for a moment because I immediately turned to the child holding his hand.
The Demoness Alpha 115: Worse Than Worst
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lacson, but that's all.""It's impossible that's the only amount Daddy left for me and Maycee! It doesn't seem right!""Mr. Medellin just did many wrong business decisions. He invested on a research of a new device that failed. And the last importation of batteries and semiconductors to Japan failed as well because forty percent had defects. The company even filed a lawsuit for that. He also owes money. His last card was putting up a new project. But ... "Attorney didn't continue because we both knew what happened next."Worst, he also used your trust funds in those failed investments, Mrs. Lacson.""What? You can't, Attorney! That was my mother's money! You can't–""I'm sorry, hija. He was authorized to touch your trust fund. He also used that in gambling."I didn't think that Daddy would interfere so I was complacent and didn't look at the funds. I never thought he would touch that! That's Mommy's money from Grandpa!
The Demoness Alpha 116: Dangerous Stranger
"Settlement? Why, don't you have enough money to give me back my hundred millions, Mrs. Lacson?" he said in a mocking tone.I clasped the hand on my lap. Never in my whole life I was insulted that way. It was as if he wanted to make me feel like I was nothing compared to him."How about your husband? I thought he's rich? Doesn't he also have money to pay?" he grinned jointly. But I feel that he is not happy, instead he is still angry.I sighed but I remained looking at him. This is for the business, for Maycee's future, remember it clearly, Neri. Remember what you should do."My husband is out of this mess, the reason why I refused his help. I want to do something for the business on my own. Your lawyer said you are willing to settle, so I am here, thinking I have a better option, "I said formally.The curve in his lips vanished."What do you want me to do?" I don't mess around anymore."Give me your father's shares. I want the chief
The Demoness Alpha 117: He's a Bad News
"My name isn't something relevant. Just don't mind it and enjoy my company."He laughed a bit. "If you don't have a name, how should I call you, then?""Names aren't important in one night interactions, Markus.""How sure are you that it's just a one night interaction? If Bryce brought you here, that means we have common acquiantances. It's possible we'll meet again.""I'm not close to Bryce. I was just paid to be a showgirl. It's just work."Of course, where else would I run but to lie!"How much was your night, then?"I was not silent in shock, insult and shame. I've encountered so many rude men who also have the looks and money, but not as rude and arrogant as him.My cheeks, neck and chest became hot from the irritation. The elder Mongrecos are decent and honorable people, as far as I know them. Maddy grew up well. Revo is also playful but not rude. Sage is fine too. I don't know how they have a relative so rude.But
The Demoness Alpha 118: Not For Me
Due to the relentless curiosity, Nina was finally forced to speak. I think it's better for her to share it than let her thoughts pile up inside."My supposed engagement won't happen."Oh. I remember. There was a rumor about a possible merging of their family and the Mongrecos through marraige. Even without an official declaration, it is prevalent among families. I just don't know who Mongreco will marry."Why?"Nina's tears rolled down her cheeks.For some, fixed marriage is too primitive and morally inappropriate. But many families still work then. The richest of the richest. It's practical since it's for business' longevity. But it is also possible that you will like the person who will marry you even if you do not know each other very well.I thought if it's fixed marriage, the relationship lacks emotional attachments. But now, I realize that such a set up isn't too bad because it's possible to like each other in the end. Nina wouldn't cr
