“You look sad and disappointed.”Ram Jordan said after studying Lexie’s reaction.She forced a smile as she shook her head.“I am not disappointed, I am actually sad.Not because Rafael got arrested, but I’m just sad that it had to come to this…”She said in almost a whisper, then forced another smile and looked down at her hands.He could feel her sadness—it was almost as if the way she felt was consuming everything around them.“D-do you think everything will still be fine? Will things go back to the way they used to be?”She asked, looking at him straight in the eyes. Suddenly, Ram felt guilty.Why was he even doubting Lexie?As much as he hated to admit it, he couldn't help but think that Lexie was sad because he had sent her ex-lover to jail.He doubted Lexie, believing that she was doing something behind his back, based on his sister’s words.Ram knew it was wrong, and all those negative thoughts had to stop now.So he did—he forced himself to stop thinking anything bad about Le
"What are you doing here? It’s already late."Lexie repeated her question to her cousin, Amanda, after Ram excused himself to go up to their room so they could talk properly.She stopped for a second and quickly studied her—her red eyes and nose were visible, and from the way she looked, Lexie figured she no longer needed to ask what Amanda wanted from her.She let out a deep sigh and gently pulled Amanda towards the large living room. She instructed her to sit on the couch, which Amanda immediately did. Lexie saw her cousin quietly wiping away her tears, and she couldn’t deny that her heart sank upon seeing her like this.She and Amanda had been close before everything happened, and despite all the wrongs her cousin had done, Lexie couldn’t deny that Amanda still held a special place in her heart.Anyway, she had already moved on, and she was happy with her life with Ram, so she saw no reason to hold onto resentment and not forgive her cousin.Lexie watched Amanda for a while, waitin
Lexie woke up with her head feeling a little light, a queasy stomach, and a full bladder bothering her.She forced herself to get up and looked around in confusion. She was in her and Ram's room, but her husband was nowhere in sight.Her eyes quickly searched for the digital clock on the bedside table.She wrinkled her nose when she saw the time—10:30.It was still too early. She had thought it was already morning since Ram was no longer beside her.She quickly went to the bathroom, washed her face, and brushed her teeth.Then she marched out of the room, guessing that Ram was still in his study, probably deeply engrossed in his work again.Lexie walked straight to his office and knocked twice before opening the door. She was right—Ram was there, buried in some paperwork while typing on his laptop and flipping through a thick folder."Good evening... burning the midnight oil again?"She asked. Ram shifted his attention from the screen to her and immediately smiled. Lexie smiled back a
Lexie felt the excitement rush through every bone in her body the moment her sight landed on the private plane that would take them to Palawan.She looked at Ram Jordan and smiled as she said,“We have been married for almost five months now. I knew you were rich, but I never knew you were THIS rich. You own a freaking plane?”Ram immediately laughed at her and then nodded.“WE own a freaking plane, Lexie. This aircraft is smaller than the usual airbus, but I got this when I started soaring to the top. Small private plane.”Ram said nonchalantly before putting an arm around her and pulling her closer.“Yeah, it’s small, but this is still a plane, and you have your name on it.”She said, grinning.“I will change it to your name soon.”Ram said, as if joking.Lexie wanted to think that her husband was indeed just joking, but she knew very well that he wasn’t.Lexie didn’t get the chance to respond as her attention was suddenly taken by a familiar and high-pitched voice.She immediately
Lexie could not appreciate the beautiful scenery in the hotel that Ram chose in Palawan, nor the beautiful views that greeted them when the plane they were riding landed.How could she, when aside from her knees trembling, it felt like she wanted to drag Ram somewhere where only the two of them were present? She felt so hot that she could not even answer the question her cousin Claire was asking her.If Claire had not nudged her, she would not have snapped out of it.“Huh—what?”She asked, and her cousin immediately furrowed her brows and stared at her intently.“What?”She prompted Claire.“You’ve been spacing out for a while now. Are you really okay?”“Y-yeah, I-m—I’m fine, sorry… no problem.”She answered and forced a smile at her.“Are you sure?”Claire asked with a furrowed brow. Lexie only nodded and forced a smile once more.Claire sighed and pulled her away from Ram and Andrew, who were busy talking to the reception.“Did Amanda do something to you last night?”Claire asked he
Aroused, hot and horny- Those are just the few words that can describe how Lexie feels at that very moment. She couldn't figure out if her husband was intentionally taking too long to talk to the bellboy who delivered their things to the presidential suite they were occupying, or if Ram was simply asking something important. She let out a deep sigh, her gaze sweeping across the entirety of the large hotel room. She even nodded in satisfaction when she was pleased with how the room looked. The room almost looked like a huge house that could probably accommodate a big family on vacation. The entire room was painted in a white-almost cream color, giving it an elegant ambiance. The other side of the wall, near a huge canopy bed, was covered with vinyl beige wallpaper. One noticeable feature was the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the living area. Her gaze dropped to the living room, and she smiled when she saw the sofa's appearance. Even that was beige, matching the furni
Time passed quickly for Lexie, and she had enjoyed their vacation in Palawan so much that she didn't even notice it was already their third day there.She didn't need to ask her companions if they were also enjoying the trip, as she could tell they were, like her cousin Claire, who seemed to want to swim every day."Are you and Ram sure you don't want to join Andrew and me for kayaking?" Claire asked while they were having breakfast at the hotel. Lexie rolled her eyes and didn't answer. Instead, she lowered her gaze to her large belly.Claire immediately laughed, seemingly knowing her reaction answered the question."Ayyy sorry, it slipped my mind..." Claire said with a guilty look."It's obvious..." Lexie replied with a sarcastic tone, which made Andrew laugh. Claire shot him a glare, and he quickly fell silent."It's fine though, you two should enjoy your time together, just the two of you. Anyway, Ram and I have other plans for today."She added, giving a glance at Ram, who had a f
Ram Jordan’s plans to get her personal security happened, and Lexie understands his reasons for doing that. However, sometimes she couldn’t help but think that Ram might be getting a little bit overboard.Lexie cleared her throat as she tried to call for Ram’s attention, since he was too busy talking to the three men who almost looked like models for Tanduay because of their outfits.Ram introduced the guys to her as the people who were going to be in charge of her security. They had just returned from a week-long vacation in Palawan, and this was the first thing that greeted her. She felt like she couldn’t even breathe after the long trip.“Ram, can I speak with you for a sec?”She called her husband’s attention after several attempts of clearing her throat, and he immediately turned to her and walked over.“What’s wrong?”He asked with a furrowed brow.“Ram, I understand that you’re really worried about my safety, but don’t you think three personnel in charge of following me around
Book 2 BLURB "She was his fire. He was her ruin. But what happens when desire turns into obsession?" Lexie Stevens thought she finally had it all, Ram Jordan in her bed, their daughter in her arms, and peace after years of heartbreak. Pero ang tahimik na mundo nila ay nabasag when they took in Addy, a broken girl with dangerous eyes and a twisted need to belong. What started as compassion becomes chaos. Addy wants more than a family, she wants Ram. Now, every touch between Lexie and Ram burns with tension. Every kiss tastes like guilt. They still crave each other, wild, raw, and unrelenting—but the lines between love and destruction are fading fast. In a home filled with secrets, jealousy, and seduction, Lexie must fight not only for Ram… but for herself. Because when another woman wants your man, and he’s too broken to push her away, how far will you go to reclaim your place in his arms? A sinful, scorching tale of lust, betrayal, and the kind of love that ruins you
Lexie couldn’t even tell how many times she had walked around the living room of her house. She had lost count of how many cups of coffee she had consumed. It had been three days, and Ram Jordan was still in the hospital. The fact that he hadn’t regained consciousness yet was making her anxious and worried. "Lexie, I called you here so you could rest, yet here you are pacing around like some kind of maniac. Can you please calm down?" Her cousin Claire scolded her, giving her a displeased look. "Oh, Claire, how can I calm down? My husband was shot, twice, and he’s still unconscious in the hospital! I’m worried sick, Claire... And you? What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be at Amanda’s funeral?" Lexie asked her cousin before dropping down on the sofa, feeling the fatigue wash over her. Claire sat beside her. "I was at the funeral. Macy called me, saying she was at the hospital, keeping an eye on her dad. She also said you looked restless and pale, and that she wa
Lexie didn’t agree to stay at the house when Ram decided to head straight to the nearby police station. Addy and their daughter Macy were also insisting on going. Fortunately, Ram was able to convince them to stay behind because it would be too dangerous if they brought the kids along. However, Rafael’s daughter was persistent. They couldn’t do anything when she spoke, especially since Lexie knew she had a point. ‘I know what happened, I’m the only witness here. If you need someone right now, it’s me. And if you want to punish my evil father, I want to be there to witness it. So please, let me go with you.’ Those were the exact words she said. Even Addy, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, seemed filled with anger, too much anger, and Lexie knew that was not safe, especially for a child like Addy. Lexie slowly leaned forward to Ram, who was driving quietly. It was funny how none of them dared to speak—not a single word—and she understood why. She could feel the anger n
“How are you feeling?”Ram Jordan asked as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Lexie sighed and smiled before answering.“Tired, I just want to rest for a while.”“Lex, I know you are tired, I made you feel tired, but what I am asking is how are you? Are you in pain?”He whispered through her ear, and Lexie smiled after realizing that Ram wasn’t asking her about how tired she was after the sex, he was asking how she really felt, and she bet it was about her cousin Amanda.Lexie tried to smile again before turning to face her husband. She quickly wrapped her arms around him and sighed again.“I would be lying if I said I am fine, I feel sad, devastated, mad… Amanda and I never had the best relationship as cousins, but we sure did share the best memories together. We weren’t as close as Claire and I were, but I can say Amanda could still be one of the best family I have.”Lexie whispered, feeling her eyes starting to water, so she chose to close them tightly. Ram seemed to notice this
Lexie had no idea how her husband, Ram, managed to remove her underwear without her noticing. The next thing she knew, she was naked down there, Ram Jordan was holding both her legs open. He even managed to put one leg on his shoulder while pushing the other, causing her legs to open even wider.She could almost see the lust in his eyes, they were fixed on her private as if that moment was the very first time he had seen the wonders of it.Lexie bit her lip hard when Ram’s gaze shifted to her face, as if he was studying and calculating every reaction she displayed.She saw a mischievous smile spread across Ram's lips. He even stuck out his tongue slightly, and with that action, Lexie lost it, she lost all the sanity that was left in her system.She didn’t know why, but what Ram did sent an unbearable excitement through her. The thought of what he was planning to do caused her to feel aroused—it gave her the feeling as if he was ‘eating’ her down there for the first time, no matter how
“How the hell can sex solve sh#t, Ram Oliver Jordan?”Lexie asked her husband with a pout as they reached their room.She had quickly rejected his advances downstairs, but it seemed her husband was just being playful.He had even managed to tell Macy and Adalia, who were busy in the kitchen waiting for her to bake, that they would be ‘busy’ for a while in the ‘room’.Since Macy and Adalia weren’t children anymore, they seemed to immediately understand what ‘busy’ meant.“Sex can help me think, you want me to think about Rafael, don’t you?”He said playfully, grinning as he approached her, wrapping his arms around her waist.Lexie glared at him and gave him a hard pinch on the nose, making him yelp in pain.Lexie quickly stopped and looked at him worriedly.“Sorry, that really hurt you?”Lexie asked, growing even more concerned when Ram seemed to wince in pain. He wasn’t satisfied with just wincing, though. He started to whine like a child, making Lexie grimace before glaring at him.“
“Are you sure about letting Macy stay there?”Ram immediately asked as soon as they entered the kitchen.It took Lexie some time to answer. She picked up her favorite glass from the cupboard and made herself some black tea, then turned to Ram and asked if he wanted one too, which he politely declined.Lexie shrugged and continued making her coffee, which she thought irritated Ram even more.“Lex, you’re seriously ignoring my question?”Ram asked with a frown, his gaze fixed on her. Lexie sighed heavily before meeting his gaze.“I know you’re worried about our daughter, I understand that you don’t trust your security—”“I trust them, Lexie. It’s my nephew I don’t trust.”Ram snapped.“Oh? Really?”Lexie raised an eyebrow.“If you trust them, then why are you acting like this? I’m sure Jeff and Jason can protect my daughter if something bad happens. Besides, Rafael has been out of prison for three years now. If he still has the agenda to threaten our lives like he did before, why didn’t
Lexie’s throat felt like it was about to hurt from holding back tears, while Ram silently drove, glancing at her from time to time.She let out a harsh sigh and tried to distract herself by looking out the car window.“Are you okay, mom? Here, have some water.”Macy asked with concern, handing her a bottle of water. Lexie looked at her in the backseat and forced a smile.“I’m okay, hon. Thank you.”She said as she gladly accepted the water from Macy.They were only thirty minutes away from the hospital where her cousin Amanda was, just thirty minutes, but for some reason, it felt like it was taking forever to get there.“We’re here.”Ram whispered, and Lexie felt like she had just been awakened from a deep sleep.Without thinking, she lifted her head and looked around at the entire mental hospital.Macy moved to open the car door and helped Lexie down. Even though her daughter didn’t ask, Lexie could tell that Macy was filled with questions, including why they were at a mental hospita
It was 15 minutes before six when Lexie woke up, and Ram was still sound asleep beside her, snoring. Lexie couldn’t help but smile.She carefully removed Ram’s arms from her waist before slowly moving to prepare breakfast for her family.She always loved preparing food for her family, and Ram always refused. He reasoned that they already had plenty of servants to do all the work for her. If she didn’t see how much Ram and Macy enjoyed the dishes she cooked, she would have thought she had no talent in the kitchen.Lexie smiled again before she bent down to kiss her husband on the lips. He didn’t wake up, but his brow furrowed slightly.As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was greeted by several busy helpers. The delicious smell of sautéed garlic and fried rice immediately filled the air.“Good morning, Mom.”Macy greeted her with a big smile before walking over to kiss her on the cheek. Lexie frowned when she saw her daughter’s appearance.Macy was wearing an apron and holding a lad
