The Billionaire's Accidental Accomplice
Para takasan ang isang arranged marriage sa isang lalaking doble ang tanda sa kanya at kilalang marahas, nag-layas si Iris. Walang pera, gutom, at hinahabol ng mga tauhan ng kanyang stepfamily, nakapuslit siya sa isang ultra-exclusive charity gala para magtago. Sa kanyang desperasyon, pumasok siya sa isang pribadong VIP suite para magpalit ng kasuotan at umiwas sa mga humahabol sa kanya.
Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Damian Vance—isang reclusive, cold, at mailap na tech billionaire. May hinihintay si Damian—isang elite, undercover female investigator na kinuha niya para mag-imbestiga sa isang maseselang kaso ng pagnanakaw sa kanyang kumpanya. Dahil sa suot ni Iris at sa tyempo ng kanyang pagkilos, napagkamalan siya ni Damian na ito ang investigator.
Upang makaligtas sa mga bodyguard na nag-aabang sa labas ng hotel, pinatulan ni Iris ang maling akala ni Damian. Tinanggap niya ang kontrata at sumama sa mansyon nito. Ang problema? Zero ang kaalaman ni Iris sa pagiging investigator. Habang sinusubukan niyang gampanan ang pekeng papel, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob niya sa mailap na billionaire—habang bawat araw ay isang sugal dahil isang maling galaw lang, mabubunyag ang kanyang sikreto.
Poprotektahan ba siya ni Damian kapag nalaman nitong isa lang siyang magandang impostor?

Chapter: CHAPTER 20IRIS POVKinabukasan, maaga akong nagising para sa opisyal na onboarding ko sa Vance Tech. Kahit nakapasa na ako sa placement exam at maayos na ang mga kaso laban kina Tita Marissa, may konting kaba pa rin sa dibdib ko habang naglalakad sa mahabang koridor ng 38th floor. Hawak ko ang bago kong silver na laptop at suot ang corporate badge na may pangalan ko: Iris – Security Analytics."Iris, subukan mo muna itong i-run sa secondary terminal natin."Napalingon ako kay Mark, ang senior analyst na nakatalaga bilang mentor ko. Iniurong niya ang kanyang ergonomic chair para bigyan ako ng espasyo sa harap ng tatlong malalaking monitor na puno ng mga live traffic stream."Alin dito, Kuya Mark? 'Yung may database link sa server ni Cruz?" tanong ko habang inilalapag ang gamit ko sa gilid ng desk niya."Oo, 'yan nga. In-isolate na kasi ni Arthur 'yung server noong isang araw pagkatapos niyo mahanap 'yung hardware token," paliwanag niya habang itinuturo

Chapter: CHAPTER 19IRIS POVTahimik ang buong biyahe namin pabalik ng mansyon. Nakatingin lang ako sa labas ng bintana habang pinapakinggan ang mahinang tunog ng aircon ng SUV. Nararamdaman ko ang bigat ng naging desisyon ko kanina sa coffee shop. Walang settlement. Ibig sabihin, haharapin ko talaga si Tita Marissa sa korte. Haharapin ko ang natitirang takot na matagal nang nakatanikala sa akin.Ito naman ang tama, di ba? Kung papayag ako sa settlement, parang hinayaan ko na lang din silang takasan ang lahat ng ginawa nila sa akin. Hindi na ako ang dating Iris na sunod-sunod lang sa utos.Sulyap nang sulyap si Damian sa akin habang nagmamaneho siya. Nang huminto ang sasakyan sa isang traffic light sa kahabaan ng Katipunan, tuluyan na niyang ipinatong ang isang kamay sa center console at humarap nang bahagya sa akin."Sigurado ka na ba talaga sa desisyon mo?" tanong niya, mababa ang tono ng boses pero may halo ng pag-aalala. "Kapag itinuloy natin ito hanggang sa hearing, ipa

Chapter: CHAPTER 18IRIS POVMabilis na dumaan ang weekend na halos hindi ko namalayan. Buong Sabado at Linggo, nakakulong lang ako sa study room ng mansyon ni Damian. Kulang na lang ay kabisaduhin ko na ang bawat linya ng code at formula sa mga reviewer na ibinigay niya. Si Ricardo naman, walang sawa sa pag-akyat ng mga meryenda, prutas, at mainit na tsaa para lang masiguro na hindi ako magugutom habang nag-aaral.Lunes ng umaga. Nakatayo ako sa harap ng salamin sa kwarto ko, paulit-ulit na inaayos ang collar ng suot kong light blue na button-down shirt. Medyo nanginginig pa ang mga daliri ko habang isinusuot ko ang simpleng leather watch ko.Heto na 'yon. Ito ang araw na matagal kong hinintay pero pinakakinatatakutan ko rin. Kung hindi ko maipapasa itong placement exam, baka mapatunayan ko lang sa sarili ko na tama si Tita Marissa—na wala talaga akong mararating."Iris? Handa ka na ba?"Narinig ko ang boses ni Damian mula sa labas ng pinto, kasunod ang tatlong mahihinang katok.Mabilis kong kinuha ang

Chapter: CHAPTER 17IRIS POVAlas-otso pa lang ng umaga pero nasa harap na kami ng pinto ng lumang opisina ni Cruz sa 38th floor. Hawak ko ang bago kong security pass habang si Arthur naman ang may dala ng opisyal na memo na may lagda ni Damian. Kumpara noong unang beses kong pinasok ang silid na ito nang patago, iba ang pakiramdam ngayon. Walang kaba na baka may sumulpot sa likod ko, pero andoon pa rin ang bigat sa dibdib ko.Heto na naman ako sa silid na ito. Dito nagsimula ang lahat ng ebidensyang nagpabagsak sa kanila, at dito rin pala matatapos ang huling baraha ni Donato. Kailangan kong maalala kung nasaan eksakto 'yung black box na 'yon."Ma'am Iris, secured na po ang floor. Naka-deactivate na rin ang local alarms ng room na ito mula sa main server," sabi ni Arthur habang itinutulak ang pinto.Pumasok kami sa loob. Amoy alikabok at lumang papel ang silid, halatang hindi na nagalaw simula nang bitbitin si Cruz ng mga pulis. Lumapit ako agad sa gilid ng desk kung saan naroon ang maliit na vault at a

Chapter: CHAPTER 16DAMIAN POVNakatayo ako sa tapat ng malawak na salamin ng aking study room, nakatanaw sa labas habang hawak ang baso ng scotch. Madilim na ang paligid ng mansyon, at tanging ang mga security lights na lang sa bakod ang nagbibigay-liwanag sa masukal na hardin. Sa ibaba, natatanaw ko ang bahagyang liwanag mula sa kusina kung saan abala pa rin si Ricardo.Mula noong gabing pumasok ang babaeng iyon sa hotel room ko na nakayapak at may hawak na maskara, alam kong magugulo ang buhay ko. Akala ko noong una, isa lang siyang impostor na ipinadala nina Mendoza para subaybayan ako. Galit na galit ako dahil nakuha niyang magpanggap bilang si Agent Fox. Pero habang tumatagal siya sa tabi ko, lalo na noong pasukin niya ang opisina ni Cruz at kunin ang server logs nang walang takot, unti-unting nagbago ang tingin ko sa kanya. Hindi siya ordinaryong ahente, at lalong hindi siya kasabwat ng mga kalaban ko. Si Iris ay biktima lang ng sakim niyang stepmother na si Marissa at ng matandang si Donato. Kaya

Chapter: CHAPTER 15IRIS POVMabilis na lumipas ang unang linggo ko bilang empleyado ng Vance Tech. Araw-araw ay maaga kaming pumapasok ni Razael, at kahit magkasabay kaming sumasakay sa pribadong elevator, magkahiwalay ang destinasyon namin. Siya ay diretso sa penthouse para sa mga executive meetings, habang ako naman ay bumababa sa security analytics floor para mag-ayos ng mga natitirang financial logs at mag-aral para sa darating na enrollment ko sa unibersidad.Isang hapon, habang abala ako sa pag-check ng mga server access timestamps sa computer ko, narinig kong bumukas ang pinto ng maliit kong cubicle. Pag-angat ko ng tingin, nakita ko si Arthur na may bitbit na isang paper bag at isang kulay itim na folder."Ma'am Iris, pinabibigay po ni Sir Razael," seryosong sabi ni Arthur sabay lapag ng mga gamit sa tabi ng keyboard ko. "Ito po ang syllabus at review materials para sa placement exam mo sa university next week. At may kasama na rin pong meryenda galing sa coffee shop sa baba."Napaayos ako ng up

My Father's Bestfriend
On her twenty-first birthday, Saskia Beaumont wanted one night of freedom from her toxic family. She sneaks into an exclusive, masked club and shares a wild, passionate night with a dangerous stranger. She thought she’d never see him again.
The next morning, her world shatters. Her late father’s will states that she cannot touch her billion-dollar inheritance unless she lives under the absolute control of a legal guardian for six months. Left penniless after her ex-boyfriend and stepmother steal her savings, Saskia is forced to move into the guardian's mansion.
There, she comes face-to-face with the billionaire tycoon, Evander Sinclair. He was her father’s closest associate—and he is the exact same man who owned her body the night before.
Evander is cold, strict, and demands total obedience during the day. But behind closed doors, the tension between them is electric. If anyone discovers their affair, Saskia loses her entire fortune to her stepmother, and Evander’s reputation will be destroyed.
They have everything to lose, but neither of them can stay away from the dark, forbidden heat between them.

Chapter: CHAPTER 20SASKIA POVThe heavy steel door of the server room slammed shut behind us, the mechanical locks clicking into place with a definitive, chilling sound. The walk back up the narrow concrete stairs was done in complete silence. My heels clicked rhythmically against the steps, a sharp contrast to Evander’s heavy, measured strides beside me.When we reached the top of the stairs and stepped back into the warmth of the residential wing, the house felt entirely different. The quiet corners and long hallways no longer felt like a sanctuary; they felt compromised.Evander walked straight into the main living room, tossing his leather briefcase onto a modern glass coffee table. He immediately began unbuttoning his damp shirt cuffs, rolling the sleeves up past his thick forearms. "Marcus is outside monitoring the staff quarters. Mrs. Gable won't be talking to anyone tonight."I walked over to the large leather armchair by the fireplace, but I didn't sit down.

Chapter: CHAPTER 19SASKIA POVThe temperature dropped significantly as we descended the narrow concrete steps. The air down here was dry and stripped of moisture, chilled specifically to keep the estate’s heavy tech hardware from overheating. At the bottom of the stairs, a single flickering fluorescent bulb illuminated a heavy, reinforced steel door.Evander stepped past me, the silver keycard gripped tightly between his fingers. He swiped it against the digital scanner. A sharp beep cut through the silence, followed by the heavy, mechanical thud of the internal deadbolts shifting.He pushed the door open, revealing a narrow room lined with tall, black metal racks filled with blinking blue and green LED lights. The low, steady hum of the cooling fans filled the space, a white noise that made the outside storm feel miles away."Stay close," Evander said, his voice echoing slightly against the bare concrete walls. "The floor is slick from the condensation near the vents

Chapter: CHAPTER 18SASKIA POVMrs. Gable’s hands froze on the white fabric of the towel. The polite, grandmotherly smile she always wore strained at the corners, her eyes flicking from Evander’s wet coat to the heavy leather briefcase gripped tightly in his right hand."The server room keycard, sir?" she asked, her voice maintaining a forced level of professional calm. "Is there a problem with the house network? I can call the technician—""I am the technician tonight, Mrs. Gable," Evander interrupted, his tone flat, freezing, and absolute. He didn't raise his voice, but the sheer weight of it made the wide foyer feel incredibly small. "Lock the doors. Bring the card to the study. Do not make me ask a third time."He didn't wait for her response. He turned and walked down the long, dimly lit eastern corridor toward the private study, his wet leather shoes leaving faint, dark tracks on the white marble.I stayed where I was for a second, watching Mrs. Gable. She slowly lowered the towel, her shoulders dr

Chapter: CHAPTER 17SAKIA POVThe private service elevator was small, utilitarian, and smelled faintly of industrial cleaner and damp concrete. Evander didn't let go of my hand until the heavy metal doors fully slid shut, trapping us in the dim, rattling space. The absolute silence inside the elevator shaft felt heavy after the chaos of the boardroom and the frantic shouting of the lobby.I leaned my back against the cold steel wall, looking down at my hands. They were still trembling slightly. Evander stood right beside me, his jaw set, staring straight ahead as the floor numbers ticked down on the overhead display.He had just admitted it. Right before we left the office, he called me his price. He told me that losing me was the only thing that mattered. My chest still felt tight from the sheer weight of his words, a strange mix of fear and relief swirling in my stomach. For days, I had been telling myself that he was just a cold tyrant doing a favor for a dead friend. I thought he was just using his p

Chapter: CHAPTER 16EVANDER POVI let the receiver drop back onto the cradle with a heavy, hollow click. Marcus’s words were still echoing in my ears, flipping the entire corporate puzzle upside down. The terminal layout was a lie. The digital footprint hadn't originated from the legal department's floor at all.I looked across the office at Saskia. She was still standing near the massive glass window, her silhouette framed by the gray, rain-slicked skyline of the city. Her small hands were jammed tight into the pockets of her new black blazer, her shoulders still rigid from the confrontation with Victoria."It wasn't Julian," I said, my voice dropping the cold corporate ring I had been forcing all morning.Saskia turned away from the glass, her brow furrowing as she took a slow step toward the center of the room. "What do you mean it wasn't him? Marcus found the authorization terminal?""Yes," I walked out from behind the desk, unbuttoning my suit jacket so I could breathe. The fury that had driven me t

Chapter: CHAPTER 15SASKIA POVThe frantic rattling of the door handle sliced through the thick, heavy heat between us. Evander froze, his lips still pressed against the racing pulse at my throat. His hands tightened on my hips for a fraction of a second, his knuckles digging into my skin before he slowly, deliberately let go."Mr. Sinclair!" Brenda’s voice came through the thick wood again, louder this time, her usual professional calm completely replaced by panic. "They're coming up the east elevator right now. Victoria has the court bailiffs with her!"Evander stepped back. The transformation on his face happened in the blink of an eye. The raw, territorial dark look vanished, replaced instantly by the cold, calculating mask of the billionaire CEO. He reached up, smoothing down his vest and fastening the buttons of his suit jacket with perfectly steady hands."Fix your clothes, Saskia," he said, his voice flat, low, and utterly calm. It was the tone he used when a multi-million-dollar deal was hanging
