The Sweet Revenge (English) Engineer Drylto
Zyxhiaxy It took us half an hour to travel across the other island, the sun was not that hot so I enjoyed the breeze and the view. Styx often asked me if I was okay but I just always nodded as a reply.I don't feel like talking and talking to him. I just want to finish this trip and attend the ground-breaking ceremony and go home. I don't want to see him now. I feel like everything has come back to me and I can't wait to see him all right despite the suffering I'm secretly carrying."Are you sure you're okay?" he asked while we were walking on the beach sand. I see the site from where we are standing. There were a lot of people there and almost everything was ready, even the small stage that was prepared for them to perform there. I bit the inside of my cheeks and Styx caressed my arm. When I got off, I immediately let go of his hand, even though he kept his promise that he would not let go of my hand while we were on the boat, I feel like it was a sin to let him cling to me."Do you

Zyxhiaxy I remained blank, looking outside, as I thought about my next steps. My heart is still beating fast and hasn't calmed down.How did he know about my plans? I don't even know him. His stares that made me uncomfortable and uneasy during our conversation creep me out.I clenched my jaw as tears started to pool in my eyes. I tried my best to calm myself, but it didn't work. No matter what I do, I still can't calm myself down. I don't know what to feel. Mixed up, I want to be scared, angry, and irritated. That man knows everything about my plan.[Flashback] "So... are we just doing a staring contest here, Ms. Xedler?" I clenched my fist before letting out a heavy sigh.I remained emotionless. "What are you doing here?" He chuckled before putting my gun down beside the table."This is my office. What am I supposed to do here?""Get out!" I gritted my teeth. "Or I'll fire you?"I stepped back when he stood up. His eyes were looking at me intently, as if he were seeking something i

Zyxhiaxy I'm restless knowing that Styx is just in the other room. I couldn't even go out because I knew he was there. I do not know what to do! It's like I'm still ashamed of my own house!It's annoying because out of the two of us, I should be the one who doesn't feel awkward; he's the one who suddenly came in here and just said he's going to stay here. It's annoying, but I can't help being quietly happy.I teased my hair before letting out a deep breath. I looked in the mirror again and checked to see if I looked good. I just wore a white t-shirt and cotton shorts for sleeping. I didn't bother to put on makeup because it was already dark.I turned the door lock and went out. I slowly peeked at the door of Styx's room; it was closed. I silently celebrated, but I stopped when I heard footsteps. I swallowed several times and looked behind me. Styx was towering over me with his broad shoulders and hard chest. His eyes were still dark, and his face was frowning."Where are you going?"

ZyxhiaxyPeople will say that every person deserves a second chance. It was easy to say, but that would never be easy for me to do. I grew up alone in life, and even though Mama was there, she didn't make me feel like her daughter.If forgiveness is easy, why are so many people still unable to get past their past? If it were that easy, the hearts of many would be free. Is it that hard for others to understand that not everyone is capable of forgiveness?I will admit that I have sinned once and asked for someone's forgiveness. Sometimes it was too difficult for me to do that, but now there is no more room in my heart for forgiveness.My stone heart couldn't afford forgiveness. I want to see them cry in pain. I want to see them wrecked and miserable. I want to see them kneeling while their hands are clasped. I want to see them carry the pain that I inflicted."Zy, I hope you won't destroy the plan we made. It's not easy to get to where you are now. Do you think you can do it again if yo

ZyxhiaxyThe next morning, I woke up still in Styx's arms. I smiled and caressed his soft cheeks. He was sleeping soundly, and his peaceful face was attractive. His arms were wrapped around my waist as if I would disappear at any moment.I smiled when he groaned and buried his face in my neck. He smelled it a little and touched his lips, so I knew he was awake."Styx," I whispered when he started pinching my waist in a way that sent shivers down my spine."Hmmm?" he hummed and continued kissing my neck."Let's get up, ahhh!" I couldn't stop moaning when he sucked my skin there. He happily moved his face away from my neck and faced me. I frowned at his gentle face."Good morning, love."I can't help smiling. We used to be like this; every time we woke up early, we went to the kitchen together, and he cooked breakfast for me. After that, I will prepare what he will wear to work, and I myself will be the one to wear his necktie. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I shouldn't worry about

ZyxhiaxyIt wasn't easy for me to convince Styx not to go with me. He insisted several times on going with me, but I didn't agree either. No matter what he does, he can't see Engineer Drylto and me together.I drove quickly to go to the address of the coffee shop the man gave me. I didn't even get there when I noticed that my cellphone was lit up and saw that he was calling.I sighed before answering his call. It was easy for me to talk to him because my phone was connected to the car's speaker."Hey, Ms. Xedler, do you intend to make me wait here all day?" he opened.Turned the steering wheel before answering. I'm almost at the address. "Just wait for me, asshole."His irritating laugh is repeated again. Annoyed, I stepped on the accelerator to speed up."Okay. Safe driving, my lady."I don't know why I'm talking at that idiot. Last night, before I went to Styx, he called to let me know that he would help me with my plan. I'm not that dumb to trust him, but I guess I had a hint of wh

ZyxhiaxyI can't believe I could accuse Duex of such a thing. Out of all the people around me, he was the only one I could trust, but I was able to accuse him of something he would never do.Regret filled my heart, and I hated myself for not accepting what I had done. Maybe I was just carried away by emotion, but that's not enough for me to blame Duex. He is a good person, and I can't deny that. He saved me several times whenever I needed him.Even when I thought my life was over, he held on to me and opened my eyes to a new life. So I don't know how to act after he confesses to me.Should I avoid him? I don't think that's the best idea. But I couldn't act properly knowing that I had done bad things to him, and he just confessed to me to prove his innocence. It's annoying because if it weren't for my doubts, he wouldn't be able to admit it like that.Even though I keep insisting to myself that Duex is the most deserving of love, I can't deny that there is a part of my heart that is di

ZyxhiaxyThe next day, when I woke up, he wasn't by my side. I didn't wonder anymore and went downstairs to prepare food. He watched over me all night. I woke up several times to pee, and he watched over me and even helped me go to the bathroom. He also wakes me up every time I take medicine. He sacrifices his sleep to make me feel better, which is why I'm planning something so I can get back at him.After going down, I found Styx serving food on the table. He still doesn't see me and is just serious about levelling the plate on the table. I smiled at that sight. I couldn't help but be thrilled when I remembered how he took care of me last night.He looked up when he felt my presence. His eyes were blank.I sighed. "Why haven't you left yet?" He sighed before putting the utensils down."Why did you get up so soon? Do you want your sickness to get worse?" he said, coming to me. I jolted to my feet when he touched the back of his palm to my forehead. His brows were furrowed, and his lip

The Sweet Revenge (English) Betrayal
"Ma'am, do you have an appointment?" Duex's secretary greeted me. I couldn't miss the way she glanced at me.I raised my brow. It was clear she was new here, as most employees already knew me—not just because I'm the daughter of the former owner, but because I'm the major shareholder of this company. She wasn't hiding, but she also wasn't overly familiar. Only employees and company partners were privy to such details. I handed over leadership to Duex because I needed to focus on my plans with Styx back then, but now, if it's true that Duex was the cause of my and my son's suffering, I won't hesitate to reclaim what's mine and make him pay for all the harm he's caused."You won't like it if I introduce myself," I replied coldly, giving her a stern look. She smiled nervously but persisted."Ma'am, an appointment is required—""Let her in." I was surprised when someone spoke behind me. His familiar scent immediately enveloped me. I kept my eyes on his secretary, trying to maintain my com
The Sweet Revenge (English) Two Aces
I woke up with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. I couldn't remember what happened last night. It was exhausting trying to piece it all together to understand what he said. I just wanted to bury myself in bed and let everything happen, but I couldn't allow that. I have a child who needs me. Plus, Styx's statement that I'm pregnant added to my determination to confirm it before taking any risky steps.I got up from bed and lifted the blanket off my son. He was sleeping soundly, cuddled with a pillow. I kissed his forehead and caressed his cheek before heading to the bathroom to freshen up.After bathing, I dressed in a two-piece suit and applied light makeup. I made sure the blush on my face was subtle before briefly styling my hair and slipping on two-inch heels. Since Zenith was still asleep, I waited for him to wake up before leaving. I planned to take him along since there would be no one to watch over him."Mommy? Where are you going?" He rubbed his eyes and looked at me with
The Sweet Revenge (English) Pregnant
"When we return to Manila, will anything change?" Styx's question caught me off guard.Will it? I mean, I've grown accustomed to his presence, and I know my son is the same way. It won't be easy for me to readjust, but whatever happens, happens. It's frustrating how quickly tears welled up as I struggled to fit Zenith's things into a bag. Our journey back to Manila starts now. I don't know what life awaits us there, but I want to face it head-on. Staying here and hiding won't solve anything.Things are okay between Styx and me now, and I know he has no intention of hurting me or our son."Maybe," I simply replied and continued packing.I felt his presence beside me, so I stopped and looked at him blankly. His eyes were full of emotion, almost pleading. I tried to avoid it, but he gently held my cheeks and turned my face towards him.A tear fell from my eye. I quickly wiped it away and looked away from him."Do you still love me?" he asked, his voice breaking. I bit my lower lip and av
The Sweet Revenge (English) Regrets
I began to walk in the field of green and fresh grass as I stared at my son. He giggled and wrinkled his nose while holding a bouquet of flowers, with his father beside him, staring at me intensely and not averting his gaze.My cheeks flushed. I didn't say anything and continued walking until I stopped in front of them. I turned my gaze away, feeling nervous because of his presence. The beautiful view of the blue sky perfectly complemented the greenery around us.Styx was wearing his usual office attire, which made him even more intimidating and attractive. I gulped, clearing the lump in my throat, and held my breath when he touched my delicate hand."Beautiful," he murmured, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing it lovingly."Thanks," I replied, even though I felt the whole damn zoo inside my abdomen."Mommy, you're pretty." My attention was drawn to my son when he spoke. I smiled at him, tears welling up in my eyes."Thank you, mi amor."Styx pulled me down to a spread-out fabric
The Sweet Revenge (English) Ay-Ayaten Ka
"Mommy! Please let's ride there! Daddy, please!" I chuckled as I glanced at our child, who was being incredibly persistent. I couldn't blame him; it was our first time back at the theme park, and he was beyond excited, unable to sit still."Sure, but let's walk around first. Is there anything you want to buy?" Styx asked Zenith, holding our child's left hand. I held onto Zenith's right hand tightly, afraid he might get lost in the crowd."I want cotton candy!" Styx bought Zenith cotton candy and insisted I take some too, even though I initially refused because I didn't eat it. He widened his eyes in persuasion."Which rides do you want to go on?" he asked our child. Zenith finished the cotton candy and grinned widely."I want to ride the carousel horse," he said excitedly. Styx glanced at me, so I raised an eyebrow at him. Crossing my arms, I stared at him blankly."Go with your son," I murmured. He furrowed his brows and looked at our son."Why me?""Why not you?" I retorted.He frown
The Sweet Revenge (English) Pasta
It's been a week since Styx started staying here. I don't know how long he plans to stay, but I have no intention of asking. Our plan to go to the mall yesterday didn't push through because I wasn't feeling well. I spent the whole day locked in my room while Styx sold snacks and balot at night. He also took care of our son."Do you feel okay?" Styx asked and placed a plate full of food on the table. I just nodded and clung tightly to the blanket covering my body. I didn't have a fever, cold, or cough, I just really wasn't feeling well and often felt dizzy. He wanted to take me to the hospital, but it wasn't necessary because it was a minor issue for me."Eat a lot, you need to be healthy for our son." He sat beside me and handed me the food. I didn't say anything because I really didn't have an appetite today. I suddenly felt this way."Where's my son?" He fed me a spoonful of rice and food. I was hesitant at first, but I just shrugged it off.He wiped the sauce from the side of my lip
The Sweet Revenge (English) Never
I quickly pushed him away and turned around to hide my blushing face. I wanted so badly to scream, but I couldn't let him see me in this state. Even though I felt weak, I tried to continue washing the dishes, but I froze in place when a strong arm wrapped around my small waist and hugged me.I did not move as I remained frozen. His chest touched my back and sent shivers down my spine. He rested his chin on my shoulder and kissed me there. I tried to pull away, but it wasn't enough because of my weakness. His manly scent enveloped me, and his warm hands placed on my body were enough to reach my heart."S-Styx, what are you doing?" I told him and slightly moved."Can we stay like this for a while? I missed you," he sounded tired.I tried to push him again, but he only tightened his embrace. Slowly, I weakened and allowed him to hug me. After a few minutes, he moved on his own. He kissed my neck again and let out a deep sigh."I wish we could stay like this forever, Xhia," he whispered."
The Sweet Revenge (English) Mother and Child
"Mommy, where's Daddy?" I paused folding clothes when Zenith spoke. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, playing with his feet raised on the bed."I don't know, child." He pouted and frowned. I really didn’t know. After Styx brought us home when Zenith was discharged from the hospital, he said he would leave for a while. It didn’t matter to me. I didn’t care if he never came back."I want to see Daddy," he whispered like he didn’t want me to hear it. I sighed and rolled the clothes. I sat beside him and stroked his chubby cheeks. His gentle eyes looked at me, filled with sadness as if he missed his father's presence."Are you angry with Mommy, child?" I asked softly. I looked at him nervously when he didn’t answer, but I was immediately relieved when he smiled at me.He shook his head. "No, Mommy."I breathed a sigh of relief. "Why? Aren't you angry with Mommy because I didn't tell you immediately that he’s your Daddy?" I asked further.He smiled and pinched my cheeks. "Mommy, I know
The Sweet Revenge (English) I'm Your Daddy
"Dear, you should eat first. I've noticed you look so weak since last night. You might get sick," Inang noted while arranging the fruits on a table beside Zenith's bed.Styx had moved Zenith to a private room. At first, I didn't agree, but he pleaded with me, saying it was for Zenith.I didn't know why he was acting this way towards me now. Our eyes often met, but he quickly looked away as if my gaze was burning him.He left a while ago and hasn't returned yet. Zenith is asleep and resting after taking his medicine."I'm okay, Inang. You can go home now and rest. I'll take care of the hospital bills. Len-Len talked to Aling Isang and she agreed to lend me money to help with the bill."She frowned, clearly displeased with what I said."Isn't that man the one who moved your child to a private room?"I nodded and bit the inside of my cheek. "I can pay the bill even without him. We don't need him." Inang sighed and placed her hand on mine.She opened her mouth as if to say something, but
