"We have found something, Do..."I knitted my forehead when Duke, one of my soldiers entered my office. I rested my back on my swivel chair, giving him a hard look.He bowed his head as he stopped infront of my large table. I watched as he put a brown envelope infront of me."Gregor Zakruvar never left the country, Don," he said in a serious tone.I stared at him blankly, but in my head, I am already contemplating a lot of things. What the fuck did he say?"He is using the name of Drakus. He works as a professor at a university." My heart stopped beating. I could literally feel my body froze at what I have just heard.Professor... Drakus...No fucking way. This is not fucking happening...No... Nieva.... My baby...Trembling, I stood up from my seat and walked out of my office."Find him!" I growled loudly as I pulled out my phone from my suit jacket. My heart was pounding ridiculously fast inside my chest as I waited for Nieva to pick up her phone.Every ring was making me weak. I h
My heart was pounding so fast, making it so hard for me to breathe. My chest feels so heavy. I sobbed as I hugged my naked body tightly. What did they do to me...Who is behind this?I took a step back when I heard a footsteps from outside. My eyes widened when the door aggressively opened. A man wearing a three piece suit entered the room. I stared at him in shocked, trying to recognize him but his face is not familiar at all.His face was cold and dark, as his eyes were filled with pure hatred. Two bodyguards were on his side."W-Who are you?" I whispered trembling, hugging myself even tighter. I was naked infront of these men!"Tie her," the man commanded coldly and the bodyguards did not waist any time. I took a step back when they walked over to me."No! Please! I did not do anything! Do not hurt me!" I cried out painfully but they never listened. The one pushed me on the chair, held me tightly as the other man tied my body on it. I looked at the man standing infront of us, watch
Gregor left, leaving me with my scattered thoughts.Greval... Would he be here? Would he be able to save me? Should I believe Gregor? Is Greval really on his way here? I swallowed hard. It is not safe for him... I do not know what Gregor's reason why he is doing all of this mess. But I am pretty sure is something deep and huge...I do not know how long it has been when the door opened again. Gustavo entered the room. Fear filled my heart as I saw how his eyes burned with wrathful gaze. I could almost feel it burning my soul. Without any warning, he slammed the gun against my jaw, making me gasped loudly at the painful impact it brought. Tears immediately clouded my vision.I could feel my blood cascading down my neck. It did not stop there. He grabbed my hair forcefully, forcing me to look into his eyes."You are too beautiful. You should be scathed," he whispered."P-Please. I am sorry. What did I do? Please, let me go... I did not do anything." I begged in a trembling voice."Gust
I watched as he walked away. I let out a deep sigh before I followed him inside the mansion. I looked around, taking small steps as I hugged my body, making sure that the jacket was covering my nakedness well. I am not wearing any undergarments that is why I feel uncomfortable being here."Nieva! Oh my god!"Kelly rushed towards me. She looked so worried as she eyed me from head to toe."What happened to you? Oh my! Come here!" She held my hand and dragged me towards the stairs. I did not stop her though.We entered a door which was seemed to be her room. I roamed my eyes around. This is definitely her room."Sit here. Oh my god! Look at yourself, Nieva! What that hell did you get yourself into?" She sat beside me as she watched me, eyes filled with pure worry and confusion.I swallowed. I am not sure how to tell her. I feel tired and I think I need some rest. My head was throbbing painfully."Oh shit! I am sorry! You must be tired! But you have to clean yourself first. Do not worry.
His lips parted. Without saying anything, he held the back of my head and pulled me towards him. My eyes widened as he crashed his lips against mine. It was intense. I could literally feel the angst, pain, anger... all all from his lips. His lips were cold."Where have you been, huh?" he hissed as his lips were still brushing against mine. I swallowed hard. He looked miserable. His eyes were bloodshot as unshed tears filled them. My heart clenched tightly inside me."What happened to you, baby? Did they hurt you? I was so scared. So fucking scared..." His voice broke painfully. He shut his eyes tightly as he rested his forehead against mine. Our nose were also touching.I bit my lip, squeezing my eyes shut. I held her hand which was holding my cheek, stroking it so gently."I am fine. Do not worry..." I whispered softly.He gasped as he pulled away from me. His jaw tightened as he scrutinized my face. His eyes turned pitch black with wrath. "Who the fuck did this?" he hissed through g
Greval never left the mansion since the day he took me here. I have been staying here for exactly two weeks and never did he leave the mansion. But he is always busy in his office room, doing his job there.I knocked softly on the door. It was passed lunch but he has not came out. I did not want to disturb him so I ate alone. And now, it has been an hour since I ate and he was still in there."What the fuck do you want?!"I flinched when I heard his voice thundered from inside. I swallowed hard as my hand with a tray shook."I-I am sorry..." I said in a trembling voice, biting my lip. Tears filled the corner of my eyes and I hate it. These past few days, I have been feeling so emotional and sensitive.I was about to walk away but the door suddenly opened. I sniffed quietly as I looked up at him.His lips were parted as he stared at me. "Baby, I am sorry..." he whispered softly as he cupped my face, planting a kiss on my forehead. "I did not know it was you..." He gave me an apologize
Positive...I shut my eyes as I held on the sink for support. I feel like my soul had left my body as I saw the result.I only had the courage to take pregnancy test after a week of waiting for myself to be ready. And now, here it is. The red two lines says it all.I am pregnant... again... with his child...I swallowed hard as tears fell down my cheek severely. It was like a heavy typhoon. I am scared...After fixing myself, I went out of the bathroom. We came back in the Philippines just three days ago. Greval was still not here. I do not know if I should tell him...What scares me is the probability that he already knew just like before. He found out about my pregnancy before I could even learn about it myself.I sat on the bed, waiting for nothing. I shut my eyes. I swallowed hard as I think about what happened before...He was devastated when he leaned about what I have done to... his child. I would never want to see him like that again. I would never want to see him breaking inf
"Are you okay, Nieva? You look pale. Are you feeling well?" Kelly asked as we met at the school.I tried to smile. To be honest, I feel so tired. My body seems to be giving up any moment from now. Greval told me that I should skip classes for today but I refused and said that I can take care of myself which was true, well earlier this morning. But right now, I do not think I can still hold on to what I have said. "I am fine, Kelly," I replied in a weak voice even though I wanted nothing but to sleep.She looked at me for a moment. "Are you sure? I think we should go to the clinic." She looked so worried.I gave her another smile to assure her that I am fine."No. Seriously. I am perfectly fine, Kelly."I could see that she is not convinced but eventually, she just nodded her head as she lets out a deep sigh."What is that smell?" My face contorted with disgust when I smelled something rotten. I do not know. It smells really bad. I covered my nose. That smells awful. Kelly knitted he
When my memories came back, I feel nothing but anger towards Petrakis. In all those years where I was living in his lies as his daughter, I did nothing but to do all the things he wanted me to do.Now that I am walking towards the basement, I could feel my heart pounding rapidly. It is not because I am scared. It is because of anger and hatred for that evil man.The image of him shooting my daughter plays in my head over and over again like a broken record. He killed my baby mercilessly... And I will never forgive him for that."You can leave now," I told Greval's men."Are you sure, Ma'am? Don told us to not leave you here alone..."I shook my head. "I can do this. I have a gun," I said with conviction.They sighed and without any choice, they left. I entered the basement with my heart filled with nothing but rage.He was on the chair, just like the last time I have seen him. Still covered by his own blood. I could feel my body shaking in wrath as I stared at the man who ruined my li
I knitted my brows as soon as I entered our home. It feels empty... I do not know why but my heart suddenly filled with fear. It started to pound rapidly, almost making me lost my breath."Nieva? Baby?" I called her as I walked towards our room. But it was empty.I swallowed hard. I just got home from work and usually, she always welcomes me at our door and will give me kiss. She did not tell me anything that she will leave. I tried to call her but her number was cannot be reached. I swallowed nervously as I called her again. Where the hell is she?My heart was almost killing me. It was beating so fast and I think I would pass out any moment from now. Just where the fuck is she? She did not tell me that she is going somewhere today!My fear and anxiety were eating whole system every passing second. And I swear to God, I feel like death is coming to me.I called Kajik and asked for his help. He said that he will order his men to look for my wife. His men... They are not mine now as I
For ten years without her, I have been living in the dark. I have been walking in a dark place. I could not even see the I way that I am walking in. I was scared while taking my each step. But I continued. I continued living even I am broken inside.It was all worth it. I never thought that the God has a plan for us. He did not let me die because she is waiting for me from somewhere. She is alive... My wife is alive...A woman who looked exactly like Nieva broke into my mansion to steal money. It was fucking crazy. I could feel every fiber of my being was shaking as I stared at her face.As the days went by, we confirmed who she was and about her situation. Because she has been experiencing severe migraine for the past days and she often lost her consciousness because of it, I asked Diego, who is a neurologist, to check on her. And there, we found a small looking chip in the right side of her brain. It was confusing. Why is there a chip in there? What is this all about?"Someone put a
"What the hell?!" She hissed as she looked at me.I blinked several times. It is not her...I feel like my world crashed for the millionth time. I swallowed hard. My whole system was filled with disappoinment, anger, pain..."I-I am sorry..." I let go of her immediately, running my fingers through my hair.But her eyes widened a bit as she stared at me. She cleared her throat and gave me a seductive smile."Well, hey. You are alone? Do you want some company?" she whispered in a sultry voice.I pursed my lips in a grim line when her hand caressed my chest. I gritted my teeth and like an instinct, my hand wrapped around her throat tightly. "Do not fucking touch me like that, bitch," I growled angrily before I pushed her on the ground. She was gasping for air as she looked at me, fear filled her eyes. I feel like I cheated on my wife even though I did not do anything after being touched by another woman. I walked out of that damn club and cursed. I looked up at the dark sky dotted wi
I gritted my teeth. They used me. They ruined my life... I could still remember when I woke up after Petrakis put the chip in my brain. I could not remember anything that day. But as the days went by, I slowly started to remember things... but those were not my memories... Those were Victoria's...My own memories were completely forgotten and they were replaced by Victoria's. Started to her own childhood, to her life in highschool until she met Greval. I could remember all of it. It was as if it was my own memories. They just felt so real and vivid in my brain as if they really happened to me..."Are you okay, baby?" Greval whispered in my ear as he stroked my hair. I shut my eyes tightly and hugged him more. We were both naked in our bed."I am just... tired," I murmured.He sighed heavily. "Are you sure?"I nodded a bit, smiling as I lifted my eyes on him. I love this man so much. I do not what I would do without him.THOSE YEARS WITHOUT NIEVA WERE HELL. I was broken. I did not even
It was painful. That is all I could feel when I woke up. I do not even know where I am... and who am I...I looked around the four corners of this white room. Where is this place? Why am I here? And most of all, who am I? What am I doing here? Why am I laying on this bed? What happened?The door opened and a man wearing a white laboratory gown entered the room. I knitted my brows as I watched him walked towards me.I could see the shock flashed in his eyes as he looked at me. His walk became slow."God, is this real?" I heard him whispered.I could not even move my fingers. I wanted to move but I feel like my body was too heavy for me to do that. Who is this man? Who am I? I wanted to vocalize those words but I just did not have the ability to. I feel so weak and I am in too much pain. My head was throbbing painfully. I feel like it is not a normal headache. It was even worse than a severe migraine. It was too painful to bear."Do you remember your name?" The man asked in a calm voice
Victoria smiled evilly at me, crossing her arms infront of her chest as she looked at me as if she won."H-How..." I swallowed hard. "How did this happen? I-I thought–""Oh! You thought I am dead?" Victoria laughed insultingly. "As I have said, it is part of the plan. We had to get your trust...""No..." I breathed heavily, swallowing hard. "But do not worry. Greval is looking for you now. He does not think you are dead. Dad is just playing you. Well, probably soon. You will be dead for real..." She smiled innocently.They left me in the laboratory while I was screaming for help but no one came to rescue me. I have to escape before they could even do their plan. I will not let Victoria replace me in Greval's life. I will not let her desperation lead to any way. I will make sure she will not succeed. I will make sure of that.I do not know how long it has been but I think it was almost midnight. I am not sure about what time it was. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. My eyes widened when I
"What?" I whispered under my breath.He smiled. "He thinks you are dead, Nieva. So you can't go back to him. You have to be with me... darling..." I shook my head, taking a step back as my heart started to beat in bizarre way. "W-What do you mean?""I sent him the body of Victoria... And he thought that it is you," he said in a nonchalant voice."You're..." I shook my head. "No... No! You did not! Tell me you did not!" I screamed angrily as I gasped for air.Suddenly, Taliyah's door opened. My eyes drifted to my daughter who looked so confused."Mommy? Why are you screaming? What is happening? Daddy?" She looked at Mr. Petrakis.I swallowed hard. I was about to grab her arm to protect her from the devil infront of us but before I could even do it, he had already grabbed her.My eyes widened as he gave me a dark smile when he lifted Taliyah in his arms."Your mommy wants to leave, my love. Do you want to leave Daddy?" he said in a soft tone, but I could hear the threat behind his word
I can't stop staring at her face... Taliyah...Tears clouded my vision as I looked at the kid infront of me... My daughter.My heart was beating strangely for this beautiful kid. I do not know what it was but it feels... so good. My heart was hammering so loud the longer I stared at her."She is your mom, Taliyah..." Mr. Petrakis said in a soft voice, kneeling infront of Taliyah.He took me in her room. I still do not want to believe him but my heart was telling me otherwise. And I can't just ignore what it says to me."Mommy? She is my mommy? Why does she look like Victoria?" Taliyah asked in a cute and adorable voice.I swallowed hard as I felt my tears ran down my cheek as I walked slowly towards her.Hey eyes... She got Greval's eyes..."Oh god," I whispered, sobbing.Mr. Petrakis made way for me. My eyes were only focused on the kid infront of me. I can't take my eyes off her. I do not want to. I want to stare at her for the rest of my life... She is my daughter... She came from
