All Chapters of The Haciendero: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 9Alexa dragged her feet towards the other side of the second floor. Thankfully, the house was quite modern now. If it still looked like those in the photos from the antique albums she used to see, she would have been too afraid to explore. She might have even thought the mansion was a haunted house.She glanced around, observing the changes in the seven years since she last came home. She had nothing to do, and with no signal, she couldn’t chat with her friends in Manila. She was getting bored.She had been chatting with the household staff earlier, but she got tired of it and fell asleep. When she woke up and went upstairs, her sleepiness had disappeared. She grabbed some old books from the glass cabinet and started reading children’s books. These had been hers when she was little, probably from when she was about five years old because she remembered seeing them before she even had a clear memory.She saw the third living room. The rooms were still the same, but the doors h

Chapter 11"YOUNG MASTER!" Aslan immediately looked at the housemaid who woke him up from his deep thoughts, his gaze following the young lady who had turned her back. It was always like that—the walkout. Even though he scolded her, it never worked. She never backed down and always had the final word. Jumbo ran up the stairs and came down to him. He's now looking at Aida. She was at the entrance of the dining room, peeking at him. "Time to eat!" she said, prompting him to nod while massaging his neck. This is so damn embarrassing. Why did Alexa's direct question about whether he used condoms when he had sex make him feel awkward? Little did he know that she had already seen him having sex at the falls. Shit. Alexa had really grown up, and maybe that's why she wasn’t bothered talking about such things—because she was studying Medicine, and topics like those didn’t faze her. Was the topic inappropriate, or was it his mind that was inappropriate? God. "Let's go, Jumbo," he called to his

Chapter 13Aslan approached the polished bamboo stick that Alexa had hastily left behind before rushing to leave. She was only waiting for him to get annoyed before going to leave, too, and stop making noise. He hated it when it was Alexa he was about, he would always kiss her to shut her up. He couldn’t bring himself to hit her; he might be haunted by Geron and Caroline.He didn’t care if the lawyer kissed Alexa or if something happened between them. What mattered to him was his feelings. And now that she was in his control again, he wasn’t sure if he could hold back anymore.Alexa had grown up; she was no longer the fourteen-year-old minor. He could free the interest he had long been keeping locked up.He went downstairs to return the polished bamboo stick to Lorna. It was the handy weapon for the maids in case anyone dared to enter the house while he wasn’t around.No one had dared to steal from them because he wouldn’t tolerate it. He had a gun in his room, and he’d definitely use

Chapter 15As usual, Aslan patiently waited for Alexa. He leaned against her car, arms crossed over his chest.Time had flown by so quickly. He had endured seven years without any contact, even though deep inside, it felt like he was dying. He pretended to monitor the products they shipped from Escobar to Manila just to catch a glimpse of Alexa. He had been so crazy and head over heels when it came to her. He wanted her to notice him, to see his worth, but she chose to welcome a lawyer into her life.The day he saw her go out on a date with that man, Aslan felt like he almost died. His tiny sliver of hope that she might like him back vanished completely. He must have been crazy—or worse, a pervert—for falling for a girl who was like a sister to him from the beginning.But who wouldn’t? Alexa was incredibly beautiful. She never showed him her inner beauty, but he knew, just like Caroline, that she had a good heart.There was one wish that left him stunned before Caroline’s soul departe

Chapter 17Playing the song: Until I Found Her"WHERE are we going? The shop is so far," Alexa said with a hint of impatience as they turned onto a right street."I'm just stopping by the animal clinic," he replied, honking the horn.The gate immediately opened, and he saw Anelyn's car inside. There were other vehicles as well, and people were lined up with their dogs and cats."Is this yours?" Alexa asked him, but he just glanced at her."Ours," he replied, and she didn’t say anything further.He stopped the car. "Are you coming? I'll just check on the people here. There might be some repairs needed because of the storm.""Go ahead. You have your own life. Just don’t make it too long. I don’t want to wait too long."Aslan hopped out without a word. He took long strides and walked toward the caretaker who opened the gate."Sir," Karding greeted him."Is there a problem here, Mang Karding?" he asked with his arms crossed."No problem, sir. We just lost power, and those two windows gave
