Trapped 17- "Olivia is missing!"
THE De Vera cousins were travelling around the city after they had just finished watching a movie and taking their lunch as they got together and bonded. In the middle of their enjoyment, they suddenly missed Olivia, who seemed to be absent for the past few days."I miss Oliv!”“She must, at least, call or text us!" Rebecca smirked, and nothing changed, though she was now married. She still bonds with the De Veras very well, like when they were teenagers.Besides, Raphael, her husband, is currently in Manila for a business venture."I already told you, Rebecca, that she's all right! It came from her directly because she called me a few days ago,” Hayden said as he leaned his head on the headrest of the seat next to the driver's seat."Exactly! You're the only one she contacted, and we weren't!” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “As if we're not that important to her that you’re the only favorite cousin here!" she added, acting childish and petulant."That’s not true. She's just enjoying her li

HE watched the doorway of the night bar as it opened, watching the successive entry of the De Veras—one of the most famous and riches families in their society.Oscar and Luther De Vera entered first but they were accompanied by the latter's wife who came from Manila and, as far as he knows, is now staying here in Mindanao for good. Oscar went straight to his women and had fun there. The next to enter the bar's door was Rebecca De Vera who he also heard had married a man from Manila, behind her were the sweet couple—Althea and Liam.His eyes narrowed to Althea. He must admit, he used to have a crush on Althea. She's the exact type of what he's looking for in a girl when it comes to the physical aspect. She has long and straight hair with a hairpin on the side of her ear, a soft aura, and a kind and gentle pretty face.He just laughed to himself and shook his head. He's crazy for laying an eye on one of their family's mortal enemies. Yes, you heard it right. The De Vera is his family's

OLIVIA immediately held back her hand from the man's hold and attempted to get out of his car, but his reflex was quick, and immediately pressed the button that locked the entire door and windows of the car.She was scared, but she still faced him bravely and angrily."Let me go!"He grinned. "Uh oh, no. No, my dear. I will not do that. You are going to be used as bait to get my revenge in your clan.""Revenge? What for? As far as I know, you, your ancestors, you Florencios, are already in arrears with the De Veras! Some of our lands were taken away, and now, one of your family members has the highest position in the local government of this province!""We are not robbing you of anything. The elders just fought back for what was theirs from the very first place, and yes, Lope Florencio is STILL the governor of this province today because he is good at leadership, and people trust him. No wonder why he defeated Romero De Vera in the last local election," he said with full pride and a b

"GO back here, you woman!" Greg chased her though he was still moaning in pain.He managed to run after her and caught her with his strength and without even asking for the help of his men. She almost moaned in pain too when she got caught and his fingers pressed against her arm with the tightness of his grip there, almost digging his nails on her bare skin! Probably out of anger at what she did."Don't wait for me to run out all of the patience I have for you!" His thunder-like voice echoed almost in the entire huge building.She was frightened because he was like lightning and a volcano that erupted out of his anger. He dragged her upstairs again and he closely threw her inside the elevator. For a while, he calmed himself down with the foot pain she caused him and soon after, he was finally feeling relieved and had no more aches.When they reached the top floor, some of Greg's men appeared to them as if guarding all day and all night there."Boss Greg!" said a hyper-faced man and t

HAYDEN, what did you do?If Greg's accusations about Hayden were true, this bothered Olivia a lot.Are you out of your mind or are you even thinking straight? You cannot just repeat history itself by falling in love with an enemy!She was thinking about it the whole night until she fell asleep. The next morning when she woke up and she opened her eyes, she forgot for a moment all the bad dreams that happened to her last night. When she raised her hands to open them widely as she used to do every morning when waking up, realization brought her back to the thought that all that happened to her last night was actually true and weren't just what she thought were terrible nightmares. The handcuffs on her hands proved that."Woman, you can keep wishing if you think these are all just nightmares from last night but they're real. You woke up with a chain on your hands, I saved you from your lunatic fling last night, you trusted me enough to ride in my car, and I brought you here. You're playi

Greg got up from his seat and left what he was doing to go to Olivia's room.When he opened her door, she was found sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling with satisfaction on her face because of what she thought was an accomplishment for her little revenge against him."Putting a surveillance camera inside my room, huh? Why? Would you like to watch me get undressed and naked!" She accused him and laughed with no humor at all.He did not refute her accusation but went straight to her and without saying a word, he held her hands, causing her two hands to rise because she was handcuffed.Without saying a word, he put the key on the chain and freed her hands. She immediately was feeling genuinely relieved because of her freed hands."Thank you so much!" she hissed at him, still very sarcastic.He ignored her and left her room. She rolled her eyes for the nth time but smiled when she looked at her hands that were finally not handcuffed...FOR several days, Olivia had no choice but to

When the call ends, Olivia's shoulders weakened as she failed to let her cousin, Hayden, know about her real situation.Greg had once again removed the sim card from her phone.It annoyed her to see him sort of grinning at her as if she had said or done something nasty or unpleasant while on the phone with her cousin.She suddenly understood what he was trying to imply and snorted at what he was thinking! Insane!"D*mn you for thinking something dirty about me with my own cousin! He's my blood relative, for f*ck's sake!" she hissed at him.Anyway, what’s so surprising if this demon is indeed out of his mind? From what he is doing to her, from kidnapping and detaining her in this place, that’s already obvious about him! He’s a certified psychopath!When she came out of bed, Greg was still grinning.Another day passed, and Olivia was getting bored with movies, international talk shows, etc. that she just kept on watching on cable television to let the time go by.She was pleasantly surp

"Olivia—“"I am begging you, Serena. Please don't go anymore. Don’t leave Greg. Please give his love a change in your heart. I really want to see you two happy with each other. All you have to do is give him and yourself a chance. Serena, please, please don't go back to Luzon.”She sounded desperate persuading Serena, but she didn't care. She needed to convince her to stay by Greg’s side."Olivia, I understand where you're coming from, but you must also understand that I have a fiancé in Luzon waiting for me. I appreciate your good intentions in telling me all of these, but please keep in mind that I already have a fiancé. You must understand that I love my fiancé and would not put our wedding at risk for anything."Olivia’s tears eventually streamed down her cheeks as she realized Serena and Greg could never be together. She’s engaged and in love with her fiancé, and Olivia possesses no power to ever stop it.There is nothing she can do anymore. Serena seems firm and there's nothing
Trapped 15- "In love."
DAYS went by, and Olivia awoke one morning to find Greg's office.She discovered the man's office as she walked around and strolled through the building's various floors.She opened the door gently and carefully, curious to see what was inside.To her surprise, it wasn't even locked!But she was even more taken aback when she saw the two people standing at his table, engrossed in their conversation.Greg and Serena seemed to be a couple talking together about each other.The man sat in his executive chair while the woman sat in the visitor's seat."You're going to leave tonight. Is there anything else I can do to stop you?" Greg asked the woman softly.Olivia could sense the man's loneliness in his tone and couldn't help but sympathize with Greg’s feelings.Serena smiled and shook her head slightly."You know when I make a decision, I rarely take it back."He nodded. "Of course.”She hugged Greg after saying, "Come here."They stayed hugging for a couple of minutes.Serena hugged the
Trapped 14- "Join us."
Greg walked near them. “So, you’ve already met each other, Olivia and Serena?” he asked them casually. Serena replied with a nod. “Yes. I just met your girlfriend here. You didn’t tell me you live with her already. And, to be honest, she’s gorgeous!” Olivia felt compelled to flush as a result of the compliment that Serena gave her. It was flattering to be told something lovely by a lovely lady! But she couldn’t forget how she mistook her for Greg’s girlfriend when, in fact, she wasn’t! Serena’s comment elicited a quiet laugh from Greg, who shook his head. “It’s good to know you seem to get along easily.” “Yes, I agree. Olivia, I really feel wonderful to finally meet you!” Serena kept a relaxed and friendly vibe. She even offered Olivia a hand. The latter accepted it right away. Nice, friendly, beautiful… Serena is almost close to what perfection is—Olivia thought. She responded in the same pleasant way. Serena glanced toward Greg before thinkin
Trapped 13- "Serena..."
"But anyway…” Olivia retorted, biting her lower lip. "There are still other fishes in the sea. If you’re not meant for each other, then perhaps you are meant to be loved by other people. I’m sure there are so many folks around that’s just waiting to be noticed and loved by you." He gazed at her with a more enthused expression on his face. "Including you, right?” And then he chuckled playfully. Her eyes widened, but that was only briefly because she also immediately grinned and nodded. “Yeah, why not? You don’t seem that bad after all.” She avoided his fancy eyes and bit her lower lip as she said those words. She didn’t know why her heart suddenly raced in an abnormal rhythm. “You are one of those people—that loves me and adores me, right?” he continued to tease her slightly. As she looked into his eyes, his gaze became more intense and she could feel that she would melt at the way he was staring at her. Gradually, his sight went down to her lips, tempting her and maki
Trapped 12- "Forming a new friendship..."
Olivia grinned as she watched Greg walk through the door.She was in the middle of watching a Hollywood movie when he came in."Hello," she greeted.After he had shown her the good in him, she was no longer bad-tempered on him."Hello," he replied dearly. “What are you watching?""Some Hollywood action movie.”Suddenly, a man entered and walked right to Greg. They talked in low voices that only they could hear. When the man left, she didn't notice that her palm had already been tapped subconsciously on Greg's hand.She wouldn’t be able to realize it, hadn't he looked at their hands."I'm sorry," she apologized, quickly averted her gaze and removed her hand from his.He softly glanced at her, assuring her that everything was okay."Olivia, the man that tried to do harm to you was gone. He wouldn't dare to return or even show his face to you ever again, believe me.”She sighed; comforted by the security he was providing her.She realized why she subconsciously held his hand when one of
Trapped 11- "Sexy farm boy."
This was the first time that Greg grinned this way, and he looked and sounded boyishly. He had always been like a rough rock and serious with his very masculinity. Anyway, he was so admirable whichever ways he would show.Olivia stared at him dearly. This was also the first ever time that she saw him being cute, especially when he noticed she was staring into his face and he laughed gently."What?" he asked, getting somehow conscious with her stare."I just discovered from the way you chuckled this time around that aside from being rugged, you could also be cute, couldn't you?"He confidently ran his fingers to his hair like an alpha model."Of course."She smirked and laughed smoothly.He removed his shirt and was only left with his white sando on.She watched him as he removed his leather shoes and socks and began to climb the coconut tree."Hey, what are you doing?" she asked.She couldn't believe her eyes. The man, who was just dressed in a suit and tie and exuded a sophisticated
Trapped 10- "Come with me..."
OLIVIA ordered pizza, then sat out in the room on the terrace and snacked there while looking at the lovely view. Though she didn't look back, she knew who opened the door and went inside by the sound of his footsteps and his obviously expensive scent that pleased her sense of smell. "Glad to see you are relaxing again after all the tiring sh*ts you’ve been through…" he stated and sat at the chair in front of her. She glanced at him and smiled weakly. “Yeah, thankful that the view here could calm me the most. Never knew it could actually be really relaxing to watch a mountain view." And then her eyes went back to the scenery. He nodded and then followed what she was gazing at. Silence dominated them for a few seconds until she stared at him again. An idea suddenly came to her mind. She held her phone and pointed the camera right at his handsome face. She grinned at his great register on her screen. It was as if he was really born for it! His brow raised at what she did. “What a
