Secret Contract:The CEO is my Twins' unknown father
What if you accidentally slept with a complete stranger, not knowing that he would one day be the man responsible for sending your father to jail?
Ganiyan ang nangyari kay Serena Dela Cruz—isang babaeng handang isakripisyo ang lahat para sa pag-ibig. Upang mailigtas ang naluluging negosyo ng pamilya ng kanyang nobyong si Eric Santos, ibinigay niya ang pitong milyong piso na inilaan sana para sa operasyon ng kanyang inang may sakit sa kidney. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng kanyang sakripisyo, pinagtaksilan siya ni Eric kasama ang kanyang matalik na kaibigang si Celine Watson.
Lubos na ang mundo ni Serena nang matuklasan niyang buntis siya matapos ang isang gabing hindi niya inaasahan kasama ang isang estranghero. Sa kabila ng sakit, utang, at kahirapan, pinili niyang buhayin at mahalin ang kambal na anak na siyang naging dahilan upang muli siyang bumangon.
Ngunit muling magtatagpo ang kanilang mga landas ni Mark Sebastian Lancaster—ang lalaking nakabuntis sa kanya—hindi bilang ama ng kanyang mga anak, kundi bilang isang makapangyarihang lalaki na naghahanap ng kontratang asawa upang makuha ang buong mana ng mga Lancaster. Kapalit ng kanyang alok ay mga bagay na hindi kayang tanggihan ni Serena.
Hindi nila alam na matagal nang pinagtagpo ng tadhana ang kanilang mga buhay at nagbunga iyon ng dalawang anak.
Matutuklasan kaya ni Sebastian na siya ang tunay na ama ng kambal? At mabubuksan pa kaya ni Serena ang sugatan niyang puso para sa isang lalaking kilala niyang malamig, ambisyoso, at gahaman sa kapangyarihan at pera?

Chapter: CHAPTER 188—I NO LONGER KNEW YOUSEBASTIAN'S POV"Patawad, Louisa, pero sobra na ang mga ginagawa mo. I just realized that you're turning into our older brother. You've become evil... and it hurts that, as time passed, I no longer knew you."My grandfather's voice trembled at the end.For the first time since the confrontation began, I saw my aunt falter."Kuya... please! Maawa ka sa akin! Just please...""I'm sorry, pero hindi na. This is enough. I can't make my own grandson my enemy just to protect your mistakes.""Those mistakes came about because of what our kuya did to me! Kahit half-brother natin siya, hindi pa rin tama ang ginawa niya kasi sapilitan niyang kinuha ang virginity ko!""Louisa, wala na si kuya. Now you're turning into him in a different way. Hindi na ako papayag na patuloy ko pang saktan ang apo ko dahil sa mga kasalanan mo. I protected you all these years, but you kept involving innocent people.""Hi-hindi! Hindi ako pwedeng makulong!"Her voice rose into a desperate scream as the officers began

Chapter: CHAPTER 187—RAPEDSEBASTIAN 'S POV But there was another reason I had kept my distance. I knew my aunt and her husband weren't the only enemies I had to worry about. Excluding Norman and the other new people who had recently entered the picture, I was certain there was still a traitor hiding somewhere within our company. Someone who had been watching everything unfold from the shadows. Someone who knew enough about the corruption to understand how dangerous Mang Nardo's knowledge could become. At kung tama ang hinala ko, ang taong iyon ang tunay na responsable sa pagkamatay ni Mang Nardo. Hindi basta-basta nagkataon ang lahat. Namatay siya sa panahong malapit nang mabunyag ang katotohanan tungkol sa korapsyon sa kompanya, at para sa akin, malinaw na may gustong magtago ng ebidensiya sa pamamagitan ng pagpatay sa kaniya. Ang mas nakababahala, maaaring matagal nang nasa paligid ko ang traydor na iyon. Maaaring isa siya sa mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan ko, isang taong marunong magkunwari at maghi

Chapter: CHAPTER 186—THE TRUTH IS SCATTEREDSEBASTIAN'S POVNEXT DAYMy aunt's face and her husband's were now all over social media.Everywhere I looked, there were posts about them. Their photographs appeared on news feeds, television screens, and online articles, accompanied by headlines exposing the crimes they had kept hidden for years. Their names, once associated with wealth, power, and influence, had become synonymous with corruption and betrayal.The public was finally seeing the people they truly were.Every piece of evidence had been released, leaving them with little room to deny the allegations against them. My aunt's involvement in several abortions, her husband's plans to illegally demolish properties and manipulate the people for his own benefit, and, most importantly, the truth about their involvement in my parents' deaths had all come to light.Years of carefully concealed secrets were unraveling in a matter of hours.The evidence against them wasn't merely a collection of accusations. There were documents, re

Chapter: CHAPTER 186—LET'S JUST FIND OUTSEBASTIAN'S POV "Nakauwi ka na pala," she said with a smile. I glanced at her coldly, giving her no response. Something about her presence in the mansion had never sat right with me. My aunt herself had brought her here, and now the DNA test results supposedly linking me to her child had also come through my aunt. It was all too convenient. Too carefully arranged. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious the entire situation became. Why had my aunt suddenly introduced this woman into my life after all these years? Why had she been so eager to convince everyone that I was the father of her child? And why was she using the results to push me toward a marriage I had never agreed to? It almost seemed as though every piece had been placed on the board long before I even knew I was part of the game. I continued walking, determined not to give her the satisfaction of a reaction. But before I could get any farther, she grabbed my arm. "Bakit hindi mo ba ako pinapans

Chapter: CHAPTER 185—SERVING JUSTICESEBASTIAN'S POV My grandfather's expression changed at the mention of the twins. "The twins are not yours, Sebastian." I clenched my jaw. "We'll see. I'm investigating it thoroughly, and I hope that the DNA test results my aunt provided are fake." "Si Liam ang kumuha ng DNA test results niyo. It's not..." "I don't care! I want a happy family, not one full of lies and secrets. At iiwan ko kayong lahat!" I turned toward the door, no longer willing to waste another second in that office. I had heard enough. Whatever happened next, I would no longer allow my family to dictate the course of my life. I would expose my aunt, pursue justice for my parents, and find out the truth about the twins. Even if it meant losing everything I had ever known. I had barely taken a few steps when my grandfather spoke again. "Kung gagawin mo 'yan...kung ipapakulong mo ang tiyahin mo...I have no choice but to fight you." I stopped. Slowly, I turned around to face him. For a moment, I simply st

Chapter: CHAPTER 184—THE PEOPLE YOU TRUST THE MOST, CAN HURT YOU MORE THAN YOUR ENEMIESSEBASTIAN'S POV"Gusto ko lang mabuhay ka nang payapa, nang walang gulo. All I did was protect your peace. Napagdesisyunan namin ng lola mo na manahimik na lang kaysa palakihin ka naming puno ng gulo, kahit masakit iyon para sa amin.""For me? Ha...are you joking?"I took a step toward his desk, unable to believe what I was hearing."How can you call this protecting my peace when you were feeding a snake inside the mansion? And what you call giving me peace has only given me nightmares every single night since they died! Alam niyo ba na simula nang mawala ang mga magulang ko, all I could do was study and become the CEO so I could get revenge?!"My voice grew louder with every word, and my throat burned from the effort of holding back the tears threatening to escape.I remembered the countless nights I had spent studying until my eyes could barely remain open. The mornings I had forced myself out of bed despite the exhaustion. The years I had devoted to becoming someone powerful enough

Ang sikat ng araw na pumapasok mula sa malalaking bintana ng mansion ay banayad lamang, parang marahang humahaplos sa bawat sulok ng silid. Ang hangin ay may dalang malamig na preskong amoy ng mga halamang nasa hardin.

Chapter: KABANATA 108AVA POVHindi ko maipaliwanag ang gaan ng pakiramdam ko habang pinagmamasdan ko si Alexander kasama ang pamilya niya. Para bang ang malamig at tahimik niyang puso na dati ay punong-puno ng galit at distansya ay tuluyan nang natunaw. Ang lalaking minsang piniling lumayo sa sariling dugo ay ngayon nakaupo sa gitna nila, nakangiti, at tila ba sa wakas ay natagpuan na rin ang tahanang matagal niyang hinanap.Habang nakatingin ako sa kanila, may kung anong kirot na marahang dumampi sa dibdib ko.Ganito pala ang pakiramdam ng magkaroon ng totoong pamilya.Iyong may naghihintay sa’yo sa hapag-kainan. Iyong may mga matang puno ng pagmamahal sa bawat tingin. Iyong kahit walang salita ay ramdam mong mahalaga ka.Kung naging ganito lang sana rin ang pamilya ko noon, marahil hindi ko kailanman mararamdaman ang matinding pag-iisa.Si Bella lang ang natitirang taong lubos kong pinagkakatiwalaan at...“Are you okay?”Napakurap ako nang marinig ko ang boses ni Alexander.
