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 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

Chapter: CHAPTER 14IRIS POVMaaga akong nagising dahil sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa mukha ko mula sa malaking bintana. Bumangon ako at dumeretso sa banyo para mag-ayos. Ngayong araw ang unang opisyal na pagpasok ko sa Vance Tech, hindi na bilang isang pekeng ahente, kundi bilang isang lehitimong probationary junior data analyst. Sinuot ko ang isang simpleng beige slacks at cream-colored na blouse na iniwan ni Ricardo sa kwarto ko kagabi. Heto na talaga. Walang halong pagpapanggap, walang takot na baka may magtanong tungkol sa background ko at hindi ko masagot.Pagbaba ko sa dining area, nandoon na si Razael, nakaupo habang may hawak na tasa ng kape at seryosong nagbabasa sa kanyang tablet. Naka-business suit na naman siya, plantsadong-plantsado ang kulay navy blue na coat. Tumingala siya nang marinig ang hakbang ko."You look ready," bungad niya, sabay lapag ng tablet sa gilid ng mesa. "Kumain ka muna. Arthur is already warming up the car.""Salamat," sabi ko habang umuupo sa tapat niya. Kumuha ako

Chapter: CHAPTER 13IRIS POVBumababa ang executive elevator, at sa bawat palapag na itinatalatag ng digital monitor sa itaas ng pinto, nararamdaman ko ang unti-unting pagbabalik ng normal na tibok ng puso ko. Wala na ang mabigat na hininga, wala na ang takot na baka sa susunod na sandali ay hilahin ako pabalik sa impiyernong binuo ni Tita Marissa. Tumingin ako sa repleksyon namin sa makintab na dingding ng elevator. Katabi ko si Razael na seryoso pa ring nakatingin sa unahan, ngunit mas relaks na ang kanyang tindig ngayon kumpara kanina sa boardroom."Ayos ka lang?" basag ni Razael sa katahimikan habang hindi tumitingin sa akin."Oo. Medyo nagulat lang ako sa kinalabasan," sagot ko habang dahan-dahang hinahawakan ang sarili kong mga braso. "Akala ko talaga magkakaroon pa ng mahabang sigawan o physical na sakitan doon sa loob.""I don't waste time on theatricals, Iris," maikli niyang tugon sabay sulyap sa akin. "Kapag hawak mo ang ebidensya, iharap mo agad. Mas mabilis, mas malinis. Ang mga taong tulad n

Chapter: CHAPTER 12IRIS POVNakatitig lang ako sa screen ng tablet habang dahan-dahang lumalamig ang mga kamay ko. Ang pangalang Donato Holdings Inc. ay parang isang malaking sampal na gumising sa akin mula sa panandaliang kaligtasan sa loob ng mansyon na ito. Nararamdaman ko ang mabilis na pag-akyat ng takot sa lalamunan ko, halos magbuhol ang mga laway ko habang pilit kong pinapakalma ang sarili ko sa harap ni Razael. Heto na naman sila. Ang bilis ng galaw nila. Hindi lang pala ako ang hinahabol nila, talagang buong kumpanya na ni Razael ang balak nilang lamunin nang buo."Emergency board meeting?" ulit ko, medyo gumaralgal ang boses ko kaya napahawak ako sa gilid ng desk niya para suportahan ang sarili ko. "Ibig sabihin ba nito, papapasukin na nila si Donato sa kumpanya mo ngayon?"Inayos ni Razael ang pagkakatayo niya, kinuha ang tablet mula sa harap ko, at seryosong ibinulsa ang kanyang mga kamay. "Mendoza is using the security breach issue na binanggit ko kahapon para takutin ang board. Ipapakita

Chapter: CHAPTER 11IRIS POVBumabantay ako sa bawat galaw ni Razael habang nakaupo ako sa sofa ng study room niya. Naka-wrap pa rin sa akin ang makapal na kumot na ibinigay niya, pero hindi niyon matanggal ang lamig na nararamdaman ko mula sa text message kanina. Tinitingnan ko ang screen ng monitors kung saan kitang-kita ang madilim na kalsada sa labas ng mansyon. Isang itim na SUV ang dahan-dahang umaabante, humihinto sa tapat ng malaking gate, bago muling uusad nang konti.Sila nga 'yan. Kabisado ko ang plaka ng sasakyang 'yan dahil 'yan ang madalas gamitin ng mga tauhan ni Donato kapag sinusundo si Tita Marissa para mag-casino."Sir Razael, gumagalaw na po ang SUV sa labas," biglang ulat ni Arthur habang nakatitig sa main gate monitor. Lumapit siya nang kaunti sa screen at may pinindot sa gilid niyon. "Mukhang napansin nilang may guard na naglalakad sa perimeter wall kaya umatras sila nang kaunti.""I-lock mo ang lahat ng auxiliary access points, Arthur," utos ni Razael nang hindi inaalis ang tingin

Chapter: CHAPTER 10IRIS POVBumababa ang elevator patungo sa 38th floor, at kahit nakuha ko ang unang USB mula sa opisina ni Mendoza, hindi pa rin humuhupa ang kabog sa dibdib ko. Pinupunasan ko ang malamig na pawis sa aking mga palad gamit ang gilid ng aking slacks habang nakatitig sa bumababang numero ng palapag. May iniabot sa akin si Damian na isa pang magkaparehong itim na USB drive mula sa kanyang bulsa."Ito naman ang para sa workstation ni Cruz," mahina niyang bilin habang inilalagay ko iyon sa bulsa ko. "Nasa control room na si Cruz ngayon kasama ang mga tauhan ko para sa inspection. Mas maluwag ang oras mo rito kumpara kay Mendoza, pero huwag ka pa ring magpapakampante.""Sana nga mas maluwag," bulong ko, pilit kong inaayos ang kuwelyo ng aking silk blouse para magmukhang pormal. "Kasi parang mauubusan na ako ng hininga sa ginagawa natin."Huminto ang elevator at bumukas ang pinto. Kaiba sa floor ni Mendoza na tahimik at pormal, ang 38th floor ay mas buhay. Ito ang operations at IT security fl

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 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

Chapter: CHAPTER 14SASKIA POVJulian pulled his hand back instantly, straightening up as if he had been burned. His chair scraped loudly against the hardwood floor. He looked at Evander, his face turning pale before a defensive stiffness took over his posture.Evander walked into the office, his large frame filling the space completely. He didn't just walk; he stormed in, closing the distance between the doorway and the desk in a matter of seconds. He didn't look at me. His eyes were locked entirely on Julian, burning with a quiet, lethal intensity."Mr. Sinclair," Julian said, his voice shaking slightly but holding its ground. "I was just—""I don't care what you were doing," Evander cut him off, his voice dangerously quiet. He stopped right at the edge of the desk, towering over the younger lawyer. "I gave you a direct order to stay away from Miss Beaumont. I told you that any further communication regarding this estate goes through my corporate legal team. Do you have a hearing problem, Mr. Vance?""

Chapter: CHAPTER 13SASKIA POVThe desk phone continued to buzz, its sharp electronic tone slicing through the heavy, dark silence that had settled over us. Evander didn't move. His hands remained wrapped around the armrests of my chair, his chest rising and falling against the edge of the glass table. His dark eyes held mine captive, refusing to let me look away."Aren't you going to get that?" I whispered, my voice barely carrying over the noise."Let it ring," he murmured, his face so close I could feel the heat of his breath against my lips."Evander, we're at the office," I said, placing my hands flat against his chest to keep some distance between us. His heart was beating with a heavy, frantic rhythm beneath the expensive fabric of his vest. "Your secretary knows we're in here. If you ignore the phone while the door is locked, it looks suspicious."He let out a sharp, frustrated breath through his nose. He stayed still for one more agonizing second, his eyes burning down into mine, before he final

Chapter: CHAPTER 12SASKIA POVThe elevator ride back to the top floor felt twice as long as the ride down. The air inside the metallic box was thick and suffocating, completely dominated by Evander’s silent, freezing rage. He kept his eyes fixed on the digital floor indicator, his jaw clenched so tightly that a tiny muscle kept jumping near his ear."You did that on purpose," Evander said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that cut through the hum of the elevator.I didn't turn my head. I kept staring at the silver doors, my hands clasped tightly in front of my blazer. "Did what on purpose?""Defied me. In front of the staff. In front of him.""His name is Julian, Evander. And I didn't do it to defy you," I said, finally turning to face him. "He has the financial records we need to bury Victoria. Am I supposed to tell him to go away just because you don't like the way he stands near me?"The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Evander didn't answer. He marched out into the executive corridor, hi

Chapter: CHAPTER 11SAKIA POVThe elevator ride down to the main lobby was dead silent. Evander stood beside me, his hands clasped loosely in front of him, staring straight at the shiny metallic doors. His posture was stiff, completely detached. Looking at him now, nobody would ever guess that his mouth had been burning against my skin just minutes ago.When the doors slid open, the quiet atmosphere of the upper floors vanished.The ground floor lobby was crowded. Victoria stood right in the center of the polished marble floor, looking entirely in her element. She was flanked by two men holding large professional cameras and a woman holding a digital voice recorder with the *Financial Chronicle* logo printed on the side. A few security guards stood a few feet back, looking nervous and unsure of whether they should intervene."Ah, there they are," Victoria announced, her voice carrying beautifully across the wide room. She didn't wait for us to approach. She marched right up to us, her heels clicking aggr

Chapter: CHAPTER 10SASKIA POVThe metallic click of the lock sliding into place sounded like a gunshot in the quiet room.I stood by the small glass table, my breath hitching as Evander turned around. The cold, calculated CEO who had just dismissed a junior lawyer was gone. In his place was a man whose dark eyes burned with a dangerous, volatile heat. He crossed the room in three long, predatory strides, stopping so close to me that I could feel the tension radiating off his chest."You smiled at him," Evander said, his voice a low, rough growl that vibrated through the small space between us.I forced myself to stand my ground, tilting my head up to meet his fierce gaze. "He's trying to help me, Evander. He actually found proof that Victoria is stealing from my father's accounts.""I don't care what he found," Evander snapped, his jaw clenching tightly. He reached out, his large hands gripping the edge of the glass table on either side of my hips, effectively trapping me against it. "I told you that my
