"Sir, what was that? Is that all?" I asked my boss after he told me to drop the case of Manzano.

"When did you start caring about that criminal, Calderon? Weren't you itching to catch that bastard? And now that he's out of the picture, you still won't let it go!" he shouted at me.

"Sir, it's not that I have any sympathy for that bastard. More than anyone, I wanted to catch him. Catch him, Sir, not see him dead. I want him to pay for his crimes!" I replied angrily. He's my superior, but I can't control my frustration in times like this. And he knew how I was whenever my case came to a dead end.

"God already made a way to take him off this earth and punish him, yet here you are, still yapping." How could he not understand my anger? Am I the only one thinking about giving justice to every victim?

"How can I solve the case of our former mayor when he's my last lead? And don't you find it strange that he was killed just when he was about to answer all our questions?" I asked, making h

    Angel“How was work?” Salvatore asked as soon as I got into his car, already waiting for me at my usual pickup spot after my shift. He had just returned from Manila and went straight to me.“It was okay,” I replied with a smile, leaning in to kiss him quickly. But he didn’t seem satisfied with that—he pulled me closer and kissed me more deeply.“I’m not a kid for you to give me that kind of kiss, you understand?” he said, wiping the side of my lips, probably cleaning off some of our combined saliva. I just nodded with a grin, enjoying the moment. I gave him a light kiss because I thought he might not feel comfortable, considering we were in the car.“Aren’t you going to ask me about the old spoiled woman?”“Why would I? And is she that spoiled?” he asked, making me raise my eyebrows.“You don’t want me to call her spoiled?”“I’m just asking, baby,” he said, reaching for my hand resting on my lap while his other hand wrapped around me, pulling me closer. I didn’t answer, simply savoring

    SalvatoreAngel remained silent as she entered the car, and I did the same. How could I not, after seeing her having a meal with that police officer? They happily talked, and I saw her comfortable around him. I couldn't help but feel jealous. I haven't even had the chance to date her yet, and here he was, beating me to it?I took a deep breath as we arrived at the mansion. She was quiet, even as I opened the car door and waited for her. "Hey, is something wrong?" I asked, leaning slightly to check on her."Huh?" She responded absentmindedly, finally noticing that we had already arrived home. She slowly exited the car and walked towards the mansion while I watched her from behind.She walked straight into our room, and I followed closely. But just as she was about to head into the walk-in closet, I stopped her. "Baby, what's wrong?" I asked, gently turning her to face me."Huh? Why?" she replied, still looking lost."You seem out of it. Did something happen at work?" I kept my tone casu

    AngelIt was never clear to me if Salvatore was truly responsible for the death of the man who held me hostage. He never really gave me a direct answer when I asked him. But despite that, I still held on to the hope that, if ever, he wouldn't resort to that kind of revenge again, especially not for my sake.After that night, I noticed that Salvatore changed. It became so much easier to talk to him, and he was much sweeter towards me, not just in bed, but in everything. During our meals, he was always there in every little move I made, making sure I was okay. He tried to help me even with my studies, though I always refused because I could manage. I wasn't trying to boast, but I did have the brains for it; it's just that my aunt never sent me to school.Salvatore didn't let me quit my job either, and he promised to do his best not to be jealous. I didn't mind him being jealous on that part—it was actually amusing. He looked so handsome whenever he got upset, especially when he found out

    Angel“Next time, when you’re off, let’s eat out.” I glanced at Salvatore. Was he serious? “Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you want to?”“Huh? No, of course I want to! I’d love that,” I quickly replied. I didn’t want to play hard to get because the truth is, I do want it. I like the idea of people seeing us together so they’ll think we’re in a relationship. That way, no other woman would dare to approach him when we’re not together.“Or would you prefer we go out of town when you take a leave? Where do you want to go?” I couldn’t answer. Was he inviting me?“Anywhere you want. I haven’t been to many places, so everything would be new, and I’m sure I’d enjoy it.” I wanted to add that as long as I’m with him, I don’t mind where we go, even if it’s just somewhere close by.We continued eating, and I felt like I was floating. “After this, we’ll head straight home.”I looked at him in surprise because I still had work. As much as I wanted to go home with him, I knew I couldn’t;

    Salvatore"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled at Victoria. I didn't want to hear anything from her about the age gap between Angel and me. I knew it well, and I fully understood it. Even though I feared the possibility she was suggesting, I always tried to calm myself down."Why? Are you afraid to accept the truth that she might find someone else? Someone who is younger, richer? It's not impossible, Salvatore. And with that girl's looks, I'm sure it will happen.""Stop it, Victoria," I warned her again, but she didn't listen and continued."Despite her uniform, it's obvious how beautiful her body is, and I know you're crazy about it. Many men will desire her, especially if you're no longer around. And I'm certain she'll jump at the first man who gives her special attention. Let's say—PO3 Calderon."My body trembled, and my fists clenched tightly as I held back from hitting the woman in front of me. "Salvatore," Angel said, her hand gently smoothing over my knuckles."Stay out of this, Angel."

    Victoria"I won't allow it! There's no way I will let another woman take up the time of the man I love!" I screamed as I stormed into my room at my father's mansion, throwing my bag to the floor, tears streaming down my face.I saw how Salvatore looked at that waitress—so full of love. Those eyes that used to be only for me. I miss that. I miss having someone love me. Really love me. I collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.I regret everything. I regret choosing to follow my father instead of the man I love. I regret choosing the lavish life my father and Narciso's family could offer over a simple, humble life with Salvatore.If I could turn back time, I would never choose this life—a life of emptiness, misery, rage, and no direction. I have a husband but no family. I became a puppet to their desires, so I chose to destroy myself, thinking they had no idea. But in reality, they watched silently as everything fell apart around me.I stood up from the floor, lay down on my bed,

    AngelI'm really happy with my relationship with Salvatore these days. I feel like we've grown so much closer, and he's become extra sweet to me. He takes such good care of me and never neglects me. Despite what happened at the restaurant, I've been genuinely happy—actually, we both have. Taking me to the park helped lighten the situation a lot.That night, I was completely surprised. It was obvious he had planned everything out, from the picnic blanket to the snacks, even though they were just simple food. That impromptu dinner date was already a big surprise, but then he took me to the park.I cried during the movie we watched. It seemed old, but it touched my heart. I never would've guessed that someone as tough and dangerous as Salvatore would enjoy a film like that.It was a Saturday, and I didn't have any online classes. Salvatore and I were having breakfast by the pool when Mauro arrived. "Come eat," I invited him. I knew Salvatore wouldn't mind since I was aware that the two of

    AngelMy heart felt like it dropped when I heard the loud bang. Instinctively, I closed my eyes and clung to Salvatore. I was about to scream when suddenly, the lights flicked on, and a song filled the air.“Happy birthday to you!”“Happy birthday to you!”“Happy birthday, happy birthday, Happy birthday to you!”I opened my eyes wide, staring at the crowd in front of me. I had come here thinking I’d just see my brother, but to my surprise, Nadia was also here, beaming at me.“Happy birthday!!!” they all shouted in unison, jolting me back to reality. My gaze quickly darted to Salvatore beside me, who was smiling at first but then shifted to a confused frown.“You really didn’t know what day it was today?” he asked, puzzled. That’s when it hit me—it was my birthday.I slapped my forehead, glancing over at my brother and friend.“Happy birthday, big sis Angel,” Angelo greeted as he came closer, holding a cake with a lit can

    Angel"Excuse me," I said as I started walking, intending to pass by him. I turned sideways since he was blocking my path."You're not bothered by my presence? Are you used to being around men?" He grabbed my arm, and I quickly jerked away, trying to shake his hand off, but his grip tightened."Let me go," I said, looking up at him, still struggling to free myself. He gave me a wicked smirk."I said, let me go! Don't you know who I am?" I asked angrily, but he only laughed."Aren't you just a slut who keeps the men here happy?""I'm not, so let me go.""I don't believe you. No man would bring his woman to a place like this. I'm sure you've got clients here.""I said, let me go!" I screamed, writhing harder as his grip got tighter. His expression turned more sinister, and before I could react, he lifted me and slammed me onto the table, slapping me hard."Ahh!!" I cried out, holding my cheek where he had struck me. "Help me!" I screamed, but he just laughed louder."Don't you know who

    AngelDays passed, and Salvatore’s father remained in the mansion, along with Caterina, who both gave me a fierce stare. I always show respect to elders, especially if they’re the father of the man I love. But if he ever crosses the line of human decency, I won’t just let him do whatever he wants, especially if it would hurt me physically.After finishing my class, I just got down to the dining area for lunch. When I arrived, Salvatore wasn’t there yet, but Caterina was already sitting in my seat. Salvatore’s father, whom I learned was named Emilio, was sitting in Mauro’s usual spot. I nodded at the old man as a sign of respect, but he only gave me a hostile look in return. Not wanting to argue, I sat in another chair instead.“There really are people who don’t know how to be embarrassed,” Caterina said, but I ignored her. Between the two of us, she was definitely the one with thicker skin.“Don’t worry, dear. She’ll leave on her own soon,” Emilio said. I looked at him sharply. What d

    AngelI’m scared for me and Salvatore. That’s his father, and based on what I’ve seen in movies, things like this really happen among the rich. I’ll admit, the way he dropped me off today made me even more anxious because I knew he was trying hard to reassure me.While working, I couldn’t help but worry, and it was clear on my face. “What happened? The love of your life dropped you off, didn’t he?” Cecil asked.“I don’t know, Cecil. I just feel nervous,” I replied, my voice tinged with concern.“What happened?” she asked again. Since there weren’t many customers, I told her what Salvatore’s father said.“That’s tough, but if your boyfriend told you to trust him, then just do that. No matter what happens, don’t pay attention to any woman who might show up,” she advised.“It’s easy to say that. I even assured Salvatore that I’d listen only to his words. But I still can’t stop worrying.”“I get it. That’s how it is when you love someone. Just think about how your boyfriend might be feel

    SalvatoreI was swamped with so much work, and then suddenly, my dad showed up. I wasn't expecting him to visit, so I was furious at Sandicho. My shameless brother just couldn't keep his mouth shut and told our dad about Angel."Don't take his words seriously," I said quickly as soon as we entered our room. Angel stayed silent, which made me worried. I didn't want her to leave me because of my father. I pulled her close to the bed and sat down. I needed to make sure she was okay and that we were okay."I'm fine," she said with a smile. I sighed in relief, knowing she genuinely meant it. But I couldn't ignore the hint of worry on her face."Baby, I hope you understand that everything that will happen in the next few days is just to protect you. Judging by how you look, it seems you already know what's happening. So I want to ask you to trust only me and my words.""Is there something I should be scared of?" she asked."My dad's going to stay here, and I need to tell you that he might b

    AngelI couldn't take my eyes off Cecil and couldn't understand why she was already sitting beside Sir Sandy. I knew it wasn't my business anymore what she wanted to do, but as her friend, I was concerned. Especially now that our boss had his arm around her waist while the woman who had just been all over him earlier was still nearby."Hey, baby," Salvatore called out to get my attention since I wasn't looking away from Cecil and Sir Sandy's direction. "Look at me, baby."Since he seemed upset, I turned to him. He just smiled and flicked my forehead."Ouch!" I complained, frowning because he always did that. I knew he wasn't doing it hard, but it still stung a bit."Remember what I told you in the car?" I agreed with him but couldn't help being concerned since Cecil was my friend. And as for Sir Sandy, he knew we were his employees. Ugh, I decided to just let them be.After that, I focused on Salvatore. I figured Cecil knew what she was getting herself into and her role in all this. I

    AngelIt was Friday, and as Salvatore wanted, I got myself ready because we were going out. He said he'd introduce me to his friends, so I was super excited. It felt like our closeness had leveled up."Don't wear anything short, okay? I don't want anyone else seeing your legs," Salvatore said, making me laugh. He's so possessive when it comes to my body. He's always upfront about how scared he is of losing me, especially these past few days. He keeps reminding me not to leave him no matter what."I know," I said with a smile, cupping his face and teasing him. He smiled back before leaning down so our lips met, and we shared a heated kiss. We probably would've ended up on the bed if we weren't about to leave."Don't mind them if you feel like they're teasing you. That's just how they are, okay?" Salvatore said. We were already in the car, but he couldn't sit still. Honestly, I should've been nervous since I know what kind of people his friends are. But seeing how he was acting, it seeme

    AngelI couldn't sit still because of the words Victoria left me with. I wanted to run after her and talk, but the way she smirked made it clear she wouldn't explain further.Does she have a lead on my parents' death? Did she have to dig that up to convince me to leave Salvatore? Sure, she and her family have connections, but that doesn't mean the information she gets is always accurate, right?I shook my head, trying to stop overthinking it. I was in my online class, and we talked last night, so I should've already pushed those thoughts out of my mind. I needed to focus on studying.I was thankful I managed to finish my class without thinking about Victoria. I had to take my studies seriously if I wanted to achieve my dreams. Just because Salvatore is around and willing to provide for me and Angelo doesn't mean I should depend on him entirely.After packing up my things, I set them on my study table just as the door to my room opened. I smiled and quickly walked over to greet Salvator

    AngelAfter I ensured that Mauro would take Nadia home, Salvatore and I left. He was being overly jealous again. He wouldn’t talk to me, but his arm stayed wrapped around my waist from the moment we left the bar until we got into our room.“You really won’t talk to me?” I asked.“Why don’t you go talk to that cop instead?”“Oh, come on. You’re so jealous! I only looked at him because it felt rude to dismiss him after he went out of his way to watch over Nadia and me at the bar.”“Why did you even have to hang out with him?”“Nadia invited him, and he agreed. I didn’t want to tell her in front of everyone that you wouldn’t like it because I didn’t want them thinking you’re too possessive.”“I am possessive about everything that’s mine, baby,” he said as he ran his hand along my cheek.“I know that. That’s why I told you he was with us, so you wouldn’t get any weird ideas.” He took a deep breath, smiled, and then picked me up, tossing me onto the bed.“You’re forgiven, but that doesn’t m

    Mature ContentNadia“David’s going to give us a ride,” I whined as Mauro and I walked to the car.“David, David,” he mocked, clearly annoyed. “Are you two close now? It’s Sir David to you, and you better show respect. He’s older than you.”“Please, I just called you Mauro, and you look much older than David anyway,” I shot back. He suddenly stopped walking, which made me stop and look at him.“Don’t tell me you don’t have the keys?”“Go home on your own,” he said, storming off toward the car, leaving me stunned. What just happened?“Go home alone? Fine, I’ll go home alone!” I muttered to myself as I turned away. Did he think I couldn’t take care of myself?The problem with older guys is they’re so moody. They’re hard to read and never just say what’s bothering them. I rubbed my temple as a wave of dizziness hit me.I wasn’t drunk, but I could handle myself. My friends and I used to drink like champs after doing our group projects. I made it to the street corner and stood there waiting
