Palermo cursed silently when he heard her voice. Her voice was so soft and angelic, it sounded like music to his ears. He didn't just want to hear her voice; it seemed like Palermo wanted to hear how she moaned, and he was sure he'd be excited when this girl would be his partner.

But damn! What nonsense was he thinking? He must be out of his mind! He managed to entertain such thoughts when his life was hanging by a thread. It seemed that he should not only have his friend, a surgeon, tend to his gunshot wounds but also his brain.

The delirious thoughts quickly faded from his mind as a bullet struck his left shoulder. He felt the searing pain of the bullet burying itself into his shoulder. He winced in pain, and at the same time, the beautiful girl's mouth dropped open in shock.

Another bullet found its mark in his body. Before he could collapse to the ground, the beautiful girl quickly approached him to catch him.

"Don't die! I'm telling you, I'll skin you if you die!" She screamed in a mixture of terror and determination.

He was momentarily awestruck by this beautiful stranger, but before he realized that her pursuers were closing in on him, he acted first. He shot her, hitting her in the chest, causing her assailant to fall to the ground.

The woman was shocked by what he did. "Oh my God! Why did you shoot him?"

"I had to shoot him before he could get ahead of me and kill me," he weakly replied.

"Let's go before his other companions follow. They might kill you too," she warned the girl.

Palermo was successful. He could see the fear and concern in her beautiful face, and despite her trembling with fear, she managed to help him into the shotgun seat.

"But you're not going to die. I never dreamed of seeing someone die." She shakily said. "Just hold on, I will take you to the nearest hospital."

He simply nodded.

"What's your name?" He dared to ask her.

There probably wasn't anything wrong with asking her name. Palermo simply wanted to know the girl's name. He couldn't fully understand himself.

It was as if he had developed an interest in knowing her, as if something was compelling him to learn more about this beautiful woman. He wanted to understand her entire being. But first of all, he wanted to know her name, so he dared to ask her.

The girl fell silent. Palermo also noticed that she seemed hesitant about whether to tell him her name or not. He understood her. He was a stranger, and she was clearly frightened. Her body was now trembling. There had been gunfire right in front of her, so who wouldn't be scared?

He was sure that many questions were racing through her mind right now, especially because he was bleeding. He even shot the person who shot him. But it was better for him to kill than to be killed. He would find out who confronted them and who ordered his execution.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me your name," he said to the girl because several minutes had passed, and she still hadn't spoken.

The girl swallowed hard and scratched her neck, "Ysabel. Just call me Ysabel." She said softly.

Ysabel? Damn! Her name was so beautiful!

Her name suited her beautiful and angelic face perfectly. He smiled, although she didn't notice. In a way, there might be something good that came out of the ambush by unknown enemies because he met the beautiful Ysabel. He wanted to get to know her better.

Everything about her.

    I woke up at five in the morning to prepare for work. As soon as I got out of bed, I headed straight to our small bathroom to go through my morning routine. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed, and made myself look presentable. I didn't have work at the mall today, but I did have to work at the VetClinic, which is owned by my older brother, Chester Angeles. He's my boss, and he's a good boss. In fact, the Angeles family is well-known in our area. Chester's grandfather used to be the governor here in Batangas, and they are one of the wealthiest families in the region. They have numerous farms and acres of land. They've also helped a lot of people. Chester and his siblings are all famous in our village, even his younger sister, who is currently studying in Manila at a prestigious college after passing her entrance exam. It's quite impressive because she managed to pass the entrance exam for a renowned school in Manila. I know that those schools have rigorous exams, includi

    I took a deep breath to calm myself before hailing a tricycle that was passing by. I paid the fare, and then the driver took me to the corner where I could catch a bus. When I arrived at the bus stop, I saw a few other people who seemed to be waiting for a ride. Getting on a bus here is quite a challenge, and the tricycle drivers in our area only go as far as the corner of our village. I just sat in the waiting shed where some people were also waiting for a bus. Other vehicles were passing by, but they were all cars. I couldn't afford to take a taxi or use a ride-sharing service because I was trying to save money. Taking the bus was cheaper for me. I waited for a few minutes until I noticed a black SUV suddenly stopping near the waiting shed. In fact, it came to a halt right in front of me, and I recognized the car. It was my boss from the Vet Clinic, Chester Angeles. I was surprised that I hadn't realized it was his car when it stopped. "Come on, hop in. We can go to the Vet Clini

    I sighed, "Yup. The news about them hurting me is spreading, but not a single person believes me. Others prefer to take my stepmother's side over mine," I replied dispiritedly. "What the heck, Ysabel?" he exclaimed in astonishment. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? You should have come to me and asked for help. My older brother is a Governor here, and he might be able to assist you with your problem. Why are you letting your stepmother and her children treat you like a servant? Does your father know about this? Can't you see that Ryan is hurting you too?" he asked incredulously. I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Even if I did complain to you, the truth would still be the same. My father would still choose to believe Teresita and her kids," I said bitterly, causing Chester to fall silent. He looked at me for a moment before returning his attention to driving. He seemed to be worried about my problem and probably didn't want to engage in a dangerous conversation while driving. "Bu

    After a few minutes, Chester and I finally arrived at his VetClinic. He parked his car for a moment before both of us got out and went inside the open VetClinic. Other people were already in charge of opening Chester's VetClinic to quickly attend to the scheduled patients, and others were responsible for closing it once the work was done. So, Chester didn't have to worry about opening and closing his clinic, which he owned. "Good morning, sir!" Maria, Chester's female assistant, greeted him energetically. It wasn't a secret to me that Maria had a huge crush on Chester. In fact, almost everyone here knew about her feelings for him. But he didn't seem to pay much attention to her beauty. She smiled widely, appearing to be in a good mood. I returned the smile when Maria greeted me. She had a thick layer of makeup on her face this early in the morning, and her hair was freshly curled. It was pretty evident that she was trying to look her best to catch Chester's attention. After all, C

    Here's the English translation of your text with corrected grammar: "My phone won't stop vibrating, and Ryzza just won't leave me alone until I answer her call. I guess she hasn't found someone she can borrow money from, which is why she keeps calling, but I don't even attempt to answer. Let her deal with her life. She's bombarded me with text messages, some even filled with curses and threats, but I never respond. Let her go crazy. At least my mom and her sibling experienced going to jail and sleeping in a cell. They brought this trouble upon themselves, so they should deal with their problems. They shouldn't involve me in their foolishness and misfortune. "Are you sure you're okay here, Ysabel?" Chester asked, breaking my thoughts. He had his things with him and was ready to go home. It was already past six in the evening, and night had fallen. My other coworkers had already gone home too. I had previously asked Chester if I could stay at his Vet Clinic tonight, and he agreed,

    "How well did you sleep here at the VetClinic?" Chester asked me. I briefly glanced at him while I cleaned up the mess on the table, and he carefully administered insulin to Getty, a female Pomeranian with diabetes mellitus. Getty was taken care of by Manang Adel, one of the oldest residents in Agoncillo, Batangas. She owned the repair shops in our area. "Boss, I slept quite well because there are no ghosts," I joked, making him laugh. The truth is, I almost lost my wits last night when I thought I heard strange noises at Chester's VetClinic. I was about to go to sleep when I heard those sounds. I even thought there might be a burglar inside, but it turned out that one of the dogs had escaped from its kennel. Chester usually took in animals left at the VetClinic, and their owners often picked them up the next day. Some of them couldn't make it sooner due to work commitments. Chester also adopted abandoned animals and, whenever possible, we tried to find suitable adoptive families f

    While he was eating, I just looked at him and smiled. How I love to see you this happy. If you only knew I'm pregnant with your baby if you only wanted to embrace this little angel inside me, to see this world perfectly. How I wish we could see the smile of our baby, but as you wish, I will do it. For you, Zack, I will do it, and I know it's wrong.He stopped eating and looked at me."Hey, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" He caressed his face as he spoke, and I simply smiled."No," he smiled back."Come here." I went to him, and suddenly he made me sit on his lap, then he followed."Say 'ahh'," he said playfully."Zack...""Babe, say 'ahhh,' I'm serenading you." I playfully took a bite."Very good," I responded, smiling. He kissed me on my lips, but it was only for a moment. I smiled, looked at the time, and then looked back at him."Zack?""Yes, baby?""I'm just going to take a bath.""Okay, baby." I stood up, but before that, I looked at him and bent down to

    It feels wonderful; I'm elated because Zack is petting me. He's not like he used to be – he no longer exhausts me. Now he's asking me if I'm alright. I can't help but laugh because his Other Assistant (OA) is already in the kitchen early in the morning, swiftly buying everything I desire. I got up as he wasn't beside me. "Huh?" I looked at Manang who had just entered. "Yes?" He smiled at me and sat next to me. "I'm happy and transformed, sir, all thanks to you. I've only seen him like this, and I'm grateful that you didn't give up on him." I embraced Manang. "Manang, I'm content now because I'm the one he loves." "I'm content as well." I glanced at him and then released myself from the hug. "Thank you. I feel like a mother to you," I said, tears welling up. "Oh, hey, let's eat now." He helped me stand up, and then we went to the kitchen together, where I saw Zack cooking. "Good morning, my lovely wife." I smiled at his words. I dashed over to him and hugged him. "Babe, pampe

    I'm at the supermarket, craving some fruit. As I stand in front of the apple stall, ready to make a selection, a feminine hand catches my attention. I hesitated and withdrew my hand, turning away when she spoke. "Are you Zack's ex or something?" Her question stops me in my tracks. It's her, the girl I saw in the parking lot when Zack proposed. She's the one. There's a certain ethereal quality about her; her fair skin and beauty make me feel slightly inadequate. It's no wonder Zack chose her over us. "Hello?" I meet her gaze and then glance away. "I need to go," I mumble and start walking. She seems persistent, following me. "Hey, wait," she says, grabbing my arm. She's so beautiful; her accent is American. I feel like pinching her. "I'm asking you," she continues. "Yes is my answer. If you don't mind, I need to leave. I don't want any trouble with you. We're over, and I'm not desperate to win him back from you. I've seen enough. He chose you, and you're going to be his wife. I'm

    Zary POV (Zack's Twin Brother):I observed my brother, who was currently downing shots of tequila. How many bottles had he consumed? Six? Somehow, he managed to be such a fool. I walked into Lica's room, my cousin who had recently returned from the States."Lica, what's the latest?" I settled onto his bed as he glanced at me briefly before returning to his task. Lica was a fashion designer and always seemed busy."It's functional, but I doubt your twin can handle his part," I sighed deeply."You can't entirely blame him, Lica. After all, they nearly lost the baby," I commented, somewhat irritated. He stood up, facing me."Listen, dear cousin. Do you truly believe I'm the one responsible for this idea? Is that what you think?" I met his gaze, then stood up."Just keep it brief. I don't want to witness my brother self-destructing over such matters," I left his room and turned back to my twin."Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! It's all my fault," he exclaimed, hurling a glass to the floor."ZA

    It had been a full week, an entire week of his consistent indifference towards me. He had ceased bringing other women home, though he was now returning in the early hours of the morning. Here I was, in the role of his caretaker, a role I had surprisingly grown accustomed to. During one of my cleaning sessions in his room while he occupied the bathroom, something tumbled out from his coat. It rolled, catching my attention. Retrieving it, I swiftly returned the coat to its place, just as he emerged from the bathroom, unfazed by his undressing before me. After he left, I perched on the edge of the bed and examined the object closely. A small box revealed a plain silver gold white ring. Cradling it in my hand, I realized it fit perfectly. A fleeting smile graced my lips, but it quickly faded, replaced by unease as I glanced at my hand. "Who is he planning to propose to?" A pang of emotions tightened within me. We hadn't even reached the stage of discussing a proposal, making such a notio

    I woke up disoriented, finding myself still in the place where I had lost consciousness earlier. Clutching my stomach, I reassured myself that I was alright. My slumber had been a result of my tears, and I reminded myself to take my vitamins. After consuming some bread and milk, I returned to the room, eyes shut tight. Gazing at Zack's side of the bed, I tenderly caressed his pillow, eventually lying down, embracing it, and shedding silent tears.Abruptly awakened, a tapping sensation on my face jolted me. My initial smile faded as I opened my eyes, only to be met by the sight of a woman dressed in nothing but a bra and panties. Confusion set in until Zack emerged from the bathroom. Hastily standing up, I moved toward him, my gaze ignoring the woman's presence."Babe, you're back!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around Zack's topless form. My anticipation was swiftly crushed as he gently pushed me away."Could you leave the room? We have other plans," he uttered with cold detachment. G

    I woke up feeling hungry, which motivated me to get out of bed. However, I quickly realized that Zack wasn't next to me. Looking around, I noticed that it was already 6 in the morning. I thought Zack might have left for work, although he usually said goodbye before going. Lost in my thoughts, I got up, put on my robe, and left the room. Yet, Zack wasn't in sight. I headed straight to the kitchen to make some milk, but I felt restless. I really wanted to see Zack. I sat down in the dining room, and the phone started ringing repeatedly. I grabbed the cordless phone.I was at a loss for words."Hello?" I tried to speak, but nothing came out."Good day, sir. We regret to inform you that we've canceled all the arrangements for your wedding. We hope you might reconsider. Ma'am Monic doesn't know about this yet, but we plan to explain everything soon. Have a good day, sir. Thank you." I was completely shocked by what I heard.What?The wedding plans were canceled?I thought about it, remembe

    While our lips were locked in a kiss, I couldn't help but moan from the pleasure of the sensations coursing through me. His gentle strokes against my skin were intoxicating, each touch sending shivers down my spine. He skillfully rubbed my face as our mouths explored each other. His skilled tongue danced with mine, causing me to moan even more. He gradually lifted my maternity dress without breaking our passionate kiss. The sudden exposure made me shiver as I felt the cool air against my bare skin.He removed my bra with deliberate care, his hand then descending to explore between my legs. A moan escaped my lips as he delved into my intimate area. I grabbed his neck, finding support in his strong embrace."Mhmm," I murmured, lost in the sensation. His skillful fingers caressed my cl!tor!s, sending waves of pleasure through me. I could feel the heat building up within me, my body responding eagerly."Ahhhh, babe~~" Zack's touch caused me to tremble with pleasure. He continued to touch

    "We arrived home, but I kept looking at Zack. Partly because I wasn't satisfied with his explanation."Stop staring at me as if I'm a criminal," he said, annoyed. I looked away and continued eating my apple."Hey, are you going to believe me or not?""I don't know," was all I said. He surprised me by suddenly swooping me up bridal style."Hey, put me down.""Later," he smirked."You're quite eager," I retorted. He simply smiled and kissed my forehead. As he carried me to our room, he gently set me on the bed and knelt down."Monic," I met his gaze."What is it?" He smiled at me."I'm sorry." I kept my gaze on him, waiting for his next words."Monic, I apologize for everything I've put you through. If only I hadn't trusted Monica, or rather Rose, so readily, we might not have had these problems. I hope we can find happiness. I know our beginning was rocky, and I made you cover up for someone you aren't. But you're truly what I was looking for. My love for you blinded me, Monic. No matt

    "I'm waiting for her; I mean, I really want to know why she cheated on Zack. I looked outside the restaurant through the glass window and saw him getting out of the car. He was talking to someone for a while, then he glanced at me and I nodded, receiving the same in return. After a while, he walked over and took a seat in front of me."What do you want, Monique?" I looked at him first."Order first," was all I told him."Waiter," he called the waiter."Yes, ma'am, what's your order?""I want a mocha coffee, that's all.""Okay, ma'am," the waiter left, and he turned his attention back to me."So?" he said, and I took a deep breath."Why did you cheat on him?" Rose laughed slightly, so I frowned."Monic! Zack is attractive, wealthy, and skilled in bed," I clenched my fist in annoyance at his words.He looked me up and down, "You thought we lived as husband and wife for five years. Those five years with him were passionate and easy-going. He was my first; he was the first one to experien

    "When the urge took over and disrupted your plans, I looked at Zack, but he just laughed."Hey, it's something we both desired.""Yes, I know, but you're aware that I'm leaving. Look, it's late," I said, feeling drained after sleeping all day."Tell me, where are you really going?" he asked, handing me a glass of milk."Kay Rose," I replied."Kay Rose?" he questioned, his brow furrowing."Why?""I just want to know, Zack. Why did she do that? Why did she cheat on you?" He smiled and then stood up. I followed his gaze while sipping my drink. He took an envelope from his bag and walked over to me."What is that?" I inquired. He handed it to me, and as I peered inside, I was taken aback by what I saw."Zack, how did this—""A setup, or let's just say she might have had a reason for her actions," he said, smiling."So, is this true? Are you really divorced?" He hugged me suddenly and kissed me passionately."Yes, baby," I smiled but pushed him away gently."What was her reason?""Why?""I
