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
Lexie was enjoying a day out in the sun, wearing a red swimsuit. Her hands were swinging while holding someone else’s, and she was certain that the hand holding hers belonged to Ram. They were at the beach, soaking in the beautiful views. Lexie felt happy, especially when she noticed a child walking toward them.The little girl’s eyes looked a lot like Ram’s. Her skin was glowing as the sunlight hit her, and she waved at them, calling out for "mommy and daddy."Suddenly, Lexie's heart filled with fear when, out of nowhere, Rafael appeared behind the child. She immediately searched for Ram, but he seemed to have vanished. She had no idea where her husband had gone.Her attention was suddenly stolen by a loud scream from the child, who was now in Rafael's grasp. He had the child by the neck and was grinning, looking almost demonic. Feeling scared, Lexie began running toward Rafael and the child. For some reason, an overwhelming sense of danger surged within her, and the beautiful beach
“No, I am not speaking with you.”Lexie immediately said to Ram before he could even open his mouth. She was currently eating breakfast, and because of her frustration with Ram, she hadn’t been able to sleep well the previous night, so she was already wide awake by six in the morning.“Lexie, come on, Honey and I are just having a meeting, don’t make this harder than it already is,”Ram said as he sat in the chair beside her.She quickly shot him an angry look.“Yeah, sure, a MEETING.”She said sarcastically, quickly picking up a French toast and taking a big bite.“You know how I feel about that Honey, Ram, and not so long ago, I caught you two in your office. Though you explained to me that nothing is going on between you and her, I’m not stupid enough not to think your ex is still into you. Of all the people who could partner with you in business, you chose your ex.”She said irritably, giving him another glare.She heard him sigh heavily before he spoke.“Lex, there’s nothing goin
The moment the plane landed, Ram Jordan tried calling Lexie again. He had already lost count of how many times he had tried, but Lexie wouldn’t pick up.Feeling annoyed, Ram tried calling one of her guards instead, but it only fueled his annoyance even more when his calls wouldn’t go through.“What’s the matter?”Honey asked, confused. Ram only gave her a quick glance.“Hey, you don’t get to be all pissed at me, and I suggest you drop being grumpy and all. We will be meeting our partners, besides, this kind of attitude won’t do us any good—come on, Ram.”Honey added, and with an exasperated sigh, Ram tried to calm himself before he spoke.“I know, I’m sorry, but I just can’t help it. My wife is pissed, and we had a fight, and now I can’t contact her cell. Even her guards are—““Hey, don’t worry about that woman. She’s a grown woman, and I’m sure she can handle herself, Ram.”Honey replied. A few moments later, she subtly ran her hand along his thigh.They were currently sitting togeth
Ram woke up to the sound of the alarm clock on the small table beside the bed. He frowned briefly when his gaze unintentionally shifted to the person beside him, who was fast asleep, and he knew why. He kept her up last night, as far as he could remember, it was almost one in the morning when she barged into his hotel room, and everything just happened. He closed his eyes tightly and angrily threw off the blanket that was wrapped around his bare body. He irritably rubbed his hands on his face before getting up and getting himself together. His movements caused his companion to wake up. "Morning monster, did you sleep well?" She greeted him with a smile. "No, Honey, I did not. Please fix yourself up and leave." He said flatly before turning his back to her. "Come on, Ram, we had the best night together. Stop acting so cold—" "Yes, and whatever happened between us should never happen again. That should have never happened in the first place. I am married, Ho—" "Married
Lexie woke up with a light head, feeling as though she had been awake for a week, even though just a while ago, she was fighting with Ram while having breakfast.Ram…Honey…The guards…Jackson…“Jackson!”Although her head hurt and she felt dizzy, Lexie quickly sat up when she remembered what had happened. She was immediately greeted by an unfamiliar room.“Jackson, J-Jackson took me here? W-where the hell am I?”Her vision blurred as she asked herself, trying to scan the entire room. It was a well-maintained room, and she wasn't tied up or anything.She paused to assess herself. There was nothing unusual besides the dizziness and headache. A sharp sigh escaped her as she tried to calm herself, feeling a sense of panic when she realized she wasn't wearing any clothes.“W-what the hell happened? What is g-going on… JACKSON!!!”Confusion and fear filled her voice as she called out the name of the man she was sure brought her there.She quickly scooted to the headboard of the bed when t
“Ram, remind me again why you changed your mind? I thought we were staying in Cebu, why are we on a plane going back to Manila now?”Honey asked. Ram sighed and didn’t even bother to look at her.“I planned to stay, Honey. You weren’t part of my plan. If you want to stay here, no problem, you can get off the plane if you wish.”His cold response made Honey angrier.“Okay, is this about that woman again?”She asked irritably, which only made him more annoyed.“Lexie is not just a woman, she is my wife—““Your wife who left you for another man, younger and all, right?”She said arrogantly, and Ram sighed in frustration, trying to calm himself before answering again.“Lexie has been kidnapped, Honey. She never left me. That’s different, and I’m too stupid to even believe that she could really do that to me. Look—I hurt my wife in the worst way possible, I wanted to kill myself for that. If you don’t shut up, maybe I’ll do it to you instead. So just shut the hell up!”He said, pissed.“W-
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
