Chapter: Chapter 27: Sierra Alta (2)Ava's POVI couldn't help but to admire this man in front of me. The way he clenched his jaw I don't know the reason, crossed his arms where I could see his muscles wanted to escape from his suit, the way his mustache in his upper lip complemented his handsomeness and the way he crossed his legs like a mafia boss I watched in movies before.. he looked so much dangerously good. Kung hindi ko lang siya kilala? For sure aakalain ko na baka pangit ugali niya lalo na sa sobrang lamig ng mga tingin niya sa mga taong dumadaan sa harapan namin."Do I have dirt on my face.. Ava?" he suddenly asked that wake me up from my own monologue. "O-Oh sorry.. you really just looked like a dangerous but kind man. You looked actually.. handsome," I complimented him without hesitation. I noticed how his jaw tightened more until he fixed his legs and stared at me. He checked on me like he was looking for something."Am.. I?" I nodded."Oo nga. Until now, I still didn't expect that we would be this close

Chapter: Chapter 26: Sierra Alta (1)Ava's POVAs we entered Sierra Alta, I could tell that most of the people coming here were lavish enough to afford such a place. You can really tell that these people are no ordinary as well as the building showed it well. Those huge crystal chandeliers, frames in every wall I see, huge vases that maybe are antiques, golden tiles, red mats with gold linings.. these things looked old but modernized. I like it here. This is the first time I've been here."This place really looked expensive, hmm?" I whispered in the air and then smiled sweetly as I followed Maximo walking after me. "Their lounge here is good. And their food was quite my liking as well. If you want.. I can let you try," sabi ni Maximo habang nakatalikod sa akin.Ngumiti ako nang matamis at huminga nang marahan dahil sa sobrang gentleman niya talaga. He really fetched me in my house and gladly, Al was no longer there. He called me that he was already in front of the gate so I immediately walked down the stairs and then

Chapter: Chapter 25: Successful DealingAva's POV Madaling araw na 'ko nakauwi sa bahay kagabi. Napansin ko pa na wala ang sasakyan ni Al pero hindi ko na pinansin at nawala na rin sa isipan ko dahil nga sa nakainom na 'ko.I was really delighted because I already have another business partner and gladly, kakilala lang. At sa mga oras na nagkasama kami together with Eva, mas lalo ko siyang nakilala.Imagine, siya pala ang namamahala sa pinakasikay na winery dito sa Negros Oriental. So it was really fortunate for me that I had a chance to deal with him personally and really thanks to Eva for bringing him to me. At ito, kakagising ko lang at anong oras na. It was already noon kaya sa paglabas ko ng kwarto, only Manang was there. She was on the sofa so I smiled."Manang, nakakain ba si Altar?" I asked as I walked down the stairs with my pajamas on.. until I was already neared her. Manang Rica stood up with a smile on her face and then nodded at me while her hands were already in her back."Opo, Ma'am. Kakaalis lang rin nila

Chapter: Chapter 24: Short Conversation With HimAva's POVHindi ko na nabilang kung ilang beses na akong natatawa sa mga stories na ishine-share ko sa kaniya about my highschool at college years. Nagtatanong kasi siya minsan about my lovelife and my life as a student.. so I told him that I was an introverted woman, only focused on my studies especially to myself. At sa lovelife ko naman, siyempre hindi ko sinabi dahil malas naman ako ro'n."At ayon na nga, hindi naman ako masiyadong pihikan. As long as respetado, may pagmamahal sa partner, ayos na ayos," ngiting sabi ko sa kaniya at ininom ang isang shot. Kaninang mga one hour after, dumating na ang drinks."Really? How about those men who were so busy with workloads especially with company matters? Maybe, a man with little time with their.. partners?" Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya at ngumiti nang.. tipid."Okay naman ako ro'n. It's understandable since he was working and hoping that guy was working not just for himself, but also to his family. Kapag tatanungin ako about diyan, I don

Chapter: Chapter 23: A Contract Of Wine And FashionAva's POV Pagkarating ko sa bar ni Eva, dahil nga dito ang meeting place namin ng sinasabi niyang client, agad akong napahinga nang malalim. Naginhawaan ako dahil sa kahit hindi pa nga ako nagsisimula, may willing nang makipag-partner and of course, thanks to Eva. Pagkapasok ko ay sinalubong agad ako ng mga bouncers. Ngumiti sila sa akin na siyang ikinangiti ko na lang rin hanggang sa gano'n rin ang ginawang bartender. Hindi matao ngayon kasi nga weekdays kaya umakyat na ako sa itaas para pumunta sa VIP room kung saan nando'n na si Eva at ang client. As I walked gradually, I couldn't help but feel light and electrified. As if I needed refreshment for this celebration and I deserve it. Dala ko ang mga folders na may laman ng contracts, designs ng mga suits at siyempre, mga gowns na rin. I sighed heavily as I opened the door and the coldness from inside welcomed me. Later on, I immediately spotted Eva smiling at me and.. Maximo? "M-Maximo?" I stammered. He just nodded at m

Chapter: Chapter 22: The Who?Ava's POV Nasa sala lang ako nanonood ng tv. Hinahantay ko si Altar na sinundo pa ng family driver. Napapahinga na rin ako nang malalim dahil sa mga iniisip about sa mga bagay na gagawin ko kapag may nakita na akong lupa o 'di kaya ay building na pagtatayuan ko ng business ko. Ang mga magiging business partners ko, handa na rin sila lalo na si Eva. Sinabihan ko na rin kasi siya tungkol rito kaya excited na rin siya for me. Isa rin kasi siya sa business partner ko at tutulungan niya rin akong makahanap ng maraming clients lalo na't bar owner siya. I will make my own brand and I will make sure na sisikat 'yon. Hindi ako magbabase sa pera ng mga magulang ko dahil alam kong malaki na rin ang naipon ko before. It was really enough to finally stand on my own dahil kapag dumating ang araw na may mangyayaring hindi maganda sa pamilya namin.. at least alam kong mabubuhay ako independently. Napalingon ako sa pinto nang magbukas 'yon kaya agad akong napangiti pero nang makita kung sino ang

Chapter: Chapter 116Dark's Point Of ViewThe sun already bid its goodbye while the ocean waves' dances were as serene as the wind's whisper. The moonlight was like a spotlight, as if it was just focused on my angel and my heaven. The lights from the cottages were like stars in the starry night.. reflecting on flawless pebbles while the trees were like paid actors.. dancing under the music's melody that echoed in the surroundings."Everything was already ended, Dark," Valio uttered with a smile on his face but I could still see the exhaustion within his eyes. I heaved a deep sigh, "I don't know if it already ended but yeah.. hopefully. As of now, what I just want to do is to pay everything I fucking did to my.. new family," I seriously mattered at him. He smirked and then had a sip with his drink. We are all here in the cottage we rented while we were watching our girls dancing while circling the bonfire. "Para sa'kin, lahat tapos na," Zero butted in and then smirked. "I am damn fucking happy that the

Chapter: Chapter 115Heaven's Point of ViewHindi ko maiwasang hindi mapangiti dahil sa itsura ni Layla na ngayon ay nahihiyang nakangiti sa amin. Namumula ang mga pisngi niya dahil siguro sa init pero hindi 'yon nakakawala sa ganda na meron siya. Walang pagbabago. Gano'n pa rin. "Layla!" Tumakbo ako papalapit sa kaniya at agad siyang niyakap. Nagtataka man ang mga kaibigan ko pero hindi ko na muna sila pinansin dahil sa pagka-miss ko kay Layla."Na-miss kita! G-Grabe, hindi pa rin nagbabago ang ganda mo, Layla. Gano'n ka pa rin at parang may.. lumala," galak kong bulong sa kaniya at humarap ulit sa kaniya.Ngumiti siya sa akin nang matamis pero agad rin 'yon napalitan ng lungkot. "A-Alam kong huli na 'to, Heaven pero, sorry dahil sa pagkawala ng mga.. magulang mo. Lalo na si Ma'am," lungkot niyang sambit na siyang ikinangiti ko lang nang matamis.I couldn't imagine kung gaano siya naghirap nang mawalan siya ng trabaho lalo na't umaasa pa naman siya sa kinikita niya sa karinderya ni Mama. Alam ko kung ga

Chapter: Chapter 114Heaven's Point of View"Hindi ko alam na lahat ay mapupunta sa ganito," bulong ni Eleven habang suot ang black two-piece niyang bikini. Napangiti na lang rin ako dahil kahit ako rin naman, hindi ko rin inaasahan na hahantung sa lahat sa ganito.Na wala na. Katapusan na ng mga problema namin. "Everything ended and I am glad that we are still.. complete," Mary seconded. She smiled sweetly and then stared at each one of us. The sunset was breathtakingly amazing where its golden light hugged my wholeness. Where its sunlight reflects on my snowy skin just like my other girlies. The sky was clear, the birds were flying freely just like how free we were today and the ocean is as serene as our hearts now."How about the mafia boss, Heaven? I think she was trying to convince you to take over the organization... are you going to take that?" Angel directly muttered. I stiffened but I just smiled slightly then shook my head while watching Dark playing with our daugter. "I'm out. Look at him.."

Chapter: Chapter 113Heaven's Point of ViewNanginginig ang mga kamay ko at ang mga labi ko habang nakatitig pa rin ako sa itsura mismo ng mafia boss ng White Organization. Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses na bumuhos ang luha ko dahil sa kamukhang-kamukha niya ang Mama ko! Nasa meeting room ako kasama si Dark at tanging nasa loob lang ng room na 'to ay kaming tatlo. Malakas ang pagdabog ng puao ko habang nakatitig sa imahe ng Mama ko na nasa harapan ko mismo.I want to touch her. I want to touch her face. I want to hug her and tell her that I really miss her. That I really miss her. Our moments. Our memories. Our happiness together while we were still complete. Her smile. Her words. Her touch. Her caress. Everything about her, I was really longing for it. I was longing for her."Y-You grew up so.. beautiful, Heaven.." she muttered until her eyes shed tears that stunned me. "W-Who are you? Imposibleng ikaw ang.. ikaw ang mama ko. She died in my arms. She died in our home. S-She's gone so.. how?" I stammere

Chapter: Chapter 112Heaven's Point of View"Ang guwapo naman pala ng papa ni Baby Seraphina, Ms. Heaven," ngiting sambit ni Rowena habang nakatitig sa itsura ni Dark. Nilalaro niya kasi ang anak niya sa sala at kitang-kita ko ang saya at galak sa mukha niya. His eyes even shine. "Nako, manang-mana ang mga mata Ms. Heaven," segunda naman ni Roberto na siyang ikinangiti ko na lang nang tipid at napapailing.As I was looking at Dark, playing with his daughter, this kind of moment was really a heartfelt kind of picture. I could feel his love and his care the way he caressed our daughter's hair and hands. He was being careful and slow.Na para bang hindi siya isang mafia kung titignan. Sa laki ng katawan niya, parang hindi siya kasiya sa bahay. Sa tangkad niya, parang naging kwarto lang ang buong bahay na 'to sa kaniya na siyang ikinailing ko na lang."Ms. Heaven, 'di ba siya 'yong lalaking nakita ko sa harapan ng gate natin? 'Yong ayaw mo sanang papasukin?" Natawa na lang ako dahil sa naaalala pa pala ni J

Chapter: Chapter 111Dark's Point of ViewI couldn't believe that I was staring at her peaceful and beautiful sleeping fave. She really looked exhausted as she experienced such challenges in her life and fuck... I want to hug her. I want to kiss her so bad just to tell her that I am always beside her. I am always willing to give her strength and my energy. My life and my damn heart.I will give everything just to have her back. Just to protect her no matter what happens. I will make sure that she won't hurt and she won't experience such cruelty in her life again."G-Gusto niyo po ba munang kumain, Sir?" A girl named Jurist asked me softly but I just smiled at him slightly before I shook my head."I'm okay. I'll just guard her sleep. You can now go to sleep as well... ako na bahala.. rito," I muttered. Scared that my angel might wake up. She smiled and then nodded but I could still sense discomfort from her since I just knocked here using my damn foot to wake someone up."Kung nauuhaw po kayo, may tubig la
