Chapter: Chapter 102CALEB“Mr. Foster, with all due respect, the emergency board meeting was called by the board members themselves,” nagpapanic nang malala ang boses ng Sales Director over the line. “The stock prices are flinching and we need your physical appearance right now. It’s a total mess.”“Postpone it.” command ko agad na hindi man lang pinag-iisipan. “Tell them I’m currently attending to a much more critical acquisition. If anyone throws a tantrum, tell them they can sell their shares to me by end of day. Clear?”After that, pinatay ko na ang tawag. That motherfvcker Drew actually thought he got me. Nakaganti ang gago! He used his father’s connection to pull a sudden corporate emergency just to force my hand and clear the floor for himself. He really manipulated that whole board meeting drama just so he could corner Seline alone. Baka he's too desperate na makausap si Seline. Kung tutuusin, I could easily turn this car around, march right back into that corridor, and drag Seline away from

Akala ko sa isang seryosong coffee shop o kaya sa medyo secluded na restaurant kami pupunta para mag-usap nang maayos? Pero pag-angat ng tingin ko? It was a private ceramic studio."Anong ginagawa natin dito, Drew?" pabulong kong tanong, turning my head to look at him with pure curiosity and skepticism. "Seryoso ka ba? Pumunta tayo rito para lang mag-pottery?"Drew unbuckled his seatbelt, turning to me with eyes filled with a exhausting weight. "Pumasok muna tayo sa loob, Seline. I booked the entire studio for an hour. Walang ibang tao. I just want us to talk somewhere peaceful without Caleb’s shadow hovering over us."Pagpasok namin, agad kaming inaccommdate ng studio owner sa isang pribadong kwarto sa dulo kung saan may dalawang potter’s wheel na nakapwesto nang magkaharap.

I took a deliberate sip, letting the caffeine settle in my system while I leaned back against the plush leather booth. Perfect morning. The sun was up, the ambient acoustic music was playing softly, at masayang-masaya ako habang hinihintay ang pagputok ng pinakamagandang trahedya ng buhay nila. Everything was falling right into place, exactly according to my script. "Finally. Matapos ang napakahaba kong pagtitimpi, makakaganti na rin ako sa’yo, Seline." bulong ko sa hangin, tapping my manicured nails on the metallic rim of my MacBook. "Akala mo siguro ikaw lang ang pwedeng maging bida sa buhay ng mga Foster? Nope. Sisiguraduhin kong ikaw ang magiging bangungot nila.""Hindi lang si Joana ang tuluyang mawawala sa’yo," dagdag ko pa, scroll-scroll lang sa MacBook ko.

Bakit?"Nagtataka siyang tumingin sa akin, tapos kay Drew, at pabalik kay Caleb na para bang hindi ma-process ng utak niya kung bakit ang isang Foster ay pinapalibutan ng tatlong seryosong imbestigador. Caleb didn't even flinch, shifting toward Tasha with a mocking smirk playing on his lips."Why don't you ask your hero fiancé over there, Tasha?" diretsahang sabi ni Caleb sa kanya. "Baka mas maganda kung mula mismo sa bibig ni Drew manggaling ang sagot."Agad namang napatingin si Tasha kay Drew, kunot-noo na para bang naghahanap ng kasagutan. Pero hindi sumagot si Drew. He just stood frozen habang nakatingin lang kay Caleb. Nagkatitigan naman ang dalawang gago na para bang nag-uusap sila mata sa mata.

Daddy, Stop Mommy's Wedding
Five years ago, billionaire Gavinn Lucero's bachelor party ended with one reckless mistake; a single night with a mysterious exotic dancer named Shelly. By morning, she was gone, and both of them believed it was nothing more than a fleeting encounter destined to be forgotten.
They were wrong.
Today, Gavinn is the untouchable Golden Boy of the business world and a happy married life. Shelly, on the other hand, has built a peaceful life as the owner of a thriving bakery while raising her brilliant five-year-old son, Gabriel.
There's just one problem. Gabriel is Gavinn Lucero's exact copy. From the striking eyes and sharp features to an intelligence far beyond his years, the boy carries the unmistakable mark of the father he has never met.
When fate brings Gavinn into Shelly's bakery, buried secrets begin clawing their way back to the surface. A long-hidden accident, dangerous lies, and a scandal powerful enough to destroy reputations threaten to unravel everything they have built.
But while the adults are busy hiding the truth, Gabriel has a mission of his own.
After meeting Gavinn, the clever little boy becomes convinced that his mother is about to make the biggest mistake of her life. Determined to stop her upcoming wedding, Gabriel secretly recruits the last person anyone would expect; Gavinn himself.
Now, a billionaire who never knew he had a son and a five-year-old mastermind must join forces to uncover the truth before it's too late. As old wounds reopen and forbidden feelings resurface, Gavinn and Shelly are forced to confront the question they have spent years avoiding:
Was their unforgettable night merely a mistake. Or the beginning of a love story that was never meant to end?

Nalaglag mula sa passenger seat ang lider ng mga mercenaries at sa gitna ay dahan-dahang gumalaw si Shelly.

Fresh, cold air surged into the room like a tidal wave. "Dad! Hinga. Dad." Parang physical impact na tumama sa dibdib ni Gavinn ang boses ng anak. He pulled Gabriel tight against his chest, both of them desperately inhaling the freezing oxygen. Nanginginig pa ang kamay ng bata, pero automatic nang gumalaw ang mga daliri nito sa nandidilim na screen ng tablet. "The oxygen levels are stabilizing," hingal na bulong ni Gabriel, his young face pale but his eyes burning with pure, unadulterated Gen Z spite. "That prison raid was top-tier timing. Absolute cinema." "Focus, Gabriel," mabilis na utos ni Gavinn, pushing himself up off the cold concrete floor.

Ganti Ng Isang Inapi (SPG)
Paano kung ang babaeng itinuring mong basura noon ang siya palang magpapaluhod sa'yo ngayon?
"You're nothing without me." Ito ang huling sinabi ni Miguel sa asawa niyang si Betty bago niya ito ipagpalit sa ibang babae.
Matapos ang lahat ng sakripisyo, pagmamahal, at taon na ibinigay ni Betty, isang pagtataksil lang ang sumira sa lahat. Ang mas masakit? Nangyari iyon habang dala niya ang pinakamalaking himala ng buhay nila.
Akala ni Miguel tapos na ang kwento niya. Pero, nagkamali siya. Dahil nang bumalik si Betty, hindi na siya ang dating babaeng madaling apihin at balewalain. Isa na siyang Moretti-Bergman, tagapagmana ng isang billion dollar empire na kinatatakutan sa mundo ng negosyo, at may dalang sikretong kayang wasakin ang lahat ng pinaghirapan ni Miguel.
Ngayon, baliktad na ang laro.
Habang desperadong pinoprotektahan ni Miguel ang kanyang kumpanya, reputasyon, at mga kasinungalingan, isa-isa namang winawasak ni Betty ang pundasyon ng kanyang mundo. At sa bawat hakbang niya palapit sa paghihiganti, mas lumalalim ang tanong:
Paano kung ang babaeng itinapon mo noon ang siya palang may hawak ng susi sa iyong tagumpay at sa iyong tuluyang pagkawasak?
Sa larong ito ng kapangyarihan at pagtataksil, may isang bagay na hindi alam ni Miguel: Hindi lang si Betty ang bumalik. Pati ang nakaraan na pilit niyang nilibing.

Ang bawat phone line ay sunod-sunod na tumutunog, at ang mga monitor ay puno ng red alerts."What is happening here?" sigaw ni Anna habang naglalakad sila patungo sa main office. "Bakit parang namatayan ang lahat?"Pagbukas ni Miguel sa pinto ng kanyang opisina, bumungad sa kanya ang kanyang head of finance na pawis na pawis at nanginginig ang mga kamay. "Sir, I'm sorry.
