Chapter: KABANATA LVII"WHAT that smile?" bati ni Luigi kay Franco. Pinagmasdan nito ang binata habang abala sa pagpirma ng mga papeles. Kahit na nakatuon sa mga papel, ay hindi pa rin maalis ang ngiti sa labi. Lumapit si Luigi sa kanya at sinilip ang mga papeles na piniipirmahan. Nag-angat siya ng tingin at bahagyang tumaas ang kanyang kilay. "What are you looking at?" tanong niya sa kapatid. "Nothing, I'm just curious. Baka kasi may kung ano sa mga pinipirmahan mong papeles at hindi mawala ang ngiti mo," nang-uuyam na saad ni Luigi. "You're crazy," naiiling na lamang siya sa sinabi ng kapatid. "I know you, Franco. Sabihin mo nga sa akin anong nangyari? I know something happened." Sumandal siya sa upuan at humugot ng isang malalim na hininga. "You know me so well, bro. Wala talaga akong matatago sa'yo," ani niya. "Sinasabi ko na nga ba! May kinalaman ba 'yan kay Isabelle?" Ngumiti siya ng malapad at tumangu-tango. "You mean to say—" "May nangyari sa amin... And it surprises me. Akala ko wala ng

Idinikit ng binata ang mukha sa mukha niya; ramdam na ramdam niya ang init ng hininga nito na parang gumagapang sa kanyang buong katawan. "I missed you, Isabelle. I always wanted to kiss you," pabulong na saad ni Franco. Muling idinikit ni Franco ang mga labi niya sa labi niya, ngunit mabilis siyang umiwas. Maling magkaroon pa sila ng ugnayan sa isa't isa. Hindi tama ang gustong mangyari ng binata. "Please... Franco, hindi tama ang ginagawa natin," mariin na saad niya, ngunit ang kanyang boses ay nanginginig dahil sa tensyong nararamdaman. Parang walang narinig si Franco sa kanyang pakiusap. Mas lalo pa nitong idinikit ang labi niya at mapangahas siyang hinalikan. Inangkin ng binata ang kanyang mga labi. Maalab, mapusok ang bawat halik ni Franco; pakiramdam niya ay nadadama niya ito sa mga halik nito, na parang may kuryenteng gumagapang sa kanyang katawan – tulad ng i

Chapter: KABANATA LV"YOU know nothing about my life," mariin na saad ni Olivia. "Oh, I forgot. Ikaw nga pala ang pinakamagaling sa lahat at you are the only one who can control our life... everything, Olivia." Pigil ang galit na sabi ni Isabelle. "Tumigil na kayo, pwede ba? Pinagtitinginan na tayo ng lahat," awat ni Sabrina. "Hindi ako ang nagsimula. Kung gusto mo patahimikin mo yang magaling mong kapatid." Kinuha niya ang bag at mabilis na lumabas ng coffee shop. "Isabelle! Isabelle! Wait!" Sigaw ni Sabrina sa kanya, ngunit bago pa man makalayo si Sabrina ay pinigilan ito ni Olivia. "Leave her alone. Wala naman siyang ibang pupuntahan—lalapit at lalapit pa rin yan sa atin," inis na saad ni Olivia habang sinusundan siya ng tingin palabas ng coffee shop. Walang nagawa si Sabrina kung hindi sundin si Olivia. Kahit na gusto nitong habulin si Isabelle, sinundan na lang siya ng tingin nito hanggang siya ay makaalis. **** Masama ang loob niya kay Olivia dahil sa mga salitang binitawan nito. Bakit hin

Chapter: KABANATA LIVNAPAPAILING na lang si Isabelle sa mga sinasabi ni Olivia. Hindi niya alam kung saan nanggagaling ang galit ng kapatid kay Franco. Isang malalim na buntong-hininga ang kanyang pinakawalan bago muling nagsalita. "Olivia, can you stop hating Franco?" mahinahon na saad ni Isabelle. "Oh! It matters to you if I hate him with all my life?" inis na sagot ni Olivia, at napapangiti parang aso. "Wait!" awat ni Sabrina. "Stop arguing, okay?" Magsasalita pa sana siya, ngunit mas pinili niyang manahimik na lang. Tama si Sabrina na hindi sila dapat nagtatalo sa oras na iyon, at alam niyang kahit anong sabihin niya ay hindi mawawala ang galit ni Olivia kay Franco Villanueva. "Belle, what you said again? The mansion is ours again?" tanong ni Sabrina, na nanlaki pa ang mga mata. Tumango lang si Isabelle at may kinuha mula sa kanyang bag—ang susi ng mansyon. "Look, this is the proof that the mansion is ours again." Nanlaki ang mga mata nina Olivia at Sabrina habang tinitigan ang susi na

Chapter: KABANATA LIIINilibot niya ng tingin ang buong paligid ng mansyon. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Isabelle sa kanyang nakikita. Everything turns into a new beginning seeing the old-new mansion. She took a step and got inside the mansion. Her eyes widened in surprise because of the familiar things and stuff inside—from the sofa, tables, and even the paintings that her stepmom hung on the wall. The pictures of them, the pictures of Olivia and Sabrina, were there too. Hinawakan niya ang isa sa paborito niyang litrato—ang litrato ng mga bata pa sila. Hindi niya ito makakalimutan dahil espesyal ang okasyon na ito. Pareho silang honor student ni Olivia; ito ang araw na pinaramdam ng Daddy niya sa kanya na pwede rin siyang ipagmalaki katulad ni Olivia. Ibinalik niya ang litrato sa pagkakabit at bumaling kay Franco. "I don't know how you did this, but honestly, it makes me feel happy, and it reminded me of everything inside this mansion. My home, our home...Franco." "Alam ko, that's

Napasapo siya sa noo dahil sa gulat nang makita si Franco sa kanyang harapan, na hawak pa ang sandok at nakasuot ng apron. "What are you—" "Good morning, Isabelle. I prepared breakfast for us and for the kids," nakangiting saad nito sa kanya. Bahagyang nangungot ang noo niya sa pag-iisip kung bakit nandito si Franco sa bahay niya. "Oh, you surprised seeing me here?" saad ng binata. Nakatitig lang siya kay Franco at tila napatulala nang hubarin nito ang suot na apron. Naka-sando lang ito na fitted sa katawan ng binata kung kaya't kitang-kita ang hubog ng and nito at mga muscles at naka-maong na pantalon. Mas nagmukhang hot si Franco sa paningin niya, dahil mukhang bagong ligo ito. Lumitaw ang kaguwapuhan ng binata at hindi niya maitatanggi, na makalaglag ng panty ika nga. "Isabelle?" tawag ni Franco sa kanya. Tsaka lang siya natauhan nang marinig ang pagtawag sa kanya. "Ahm... Yes

Ang iba pa niyang kasamahan na katulad ni Adam, Luke, at ng iba pa na sangkot sa krimen ay pinagaan ang sentensya dahil nagsilbi ang mga ito na testigo sa mga krimen na ginawa ni Hudson. Kahit masakit para kay Cassandra na harapin si Hudson at may takot na nararamdaman, pinili pa rin niya na makausap ito nang personal. Tumayo siya sa kaniyang kinauupuan nang makita niyang lumabas buhat sa selda si Hudson. Nakaposas ang mga kamay nito at nakasuot ng damit na kulay kahel. Napataas ang kilay ni Hudson at napatawa nang mahina nang makita niya si Cassandra. “What the hell are you doing here?” “Gusto lang kitang makausap, Hudson.” Huminga muna siya nang malalim bago ipagpatuloy ang kaniyang sasabihin. “Matagal na panahon kong itinatanong sa sarili ko kung bakit labis-labis ang galit mo sa akin, sa aking pamilya?

Kasunod niyon ay ang sunod-sunod na putok ng baril ang namayani sa loob ng silid. Hindi magpapahuli nang buhay ang mga kidnappers dahil bawat balang pinakawalan ng kapulisan ay siya ring ganti ng mga ito. Agad namang nilapitan ng pulis si Owen at mabilis na inalis sa lugar ng barilan. Dali-daling lumapit si Christopher kay Owen; wala na siyang pakialam kung harangin pa siya ng mga pulis, ang mahalaga sa ngayon ay mahawakan niya ang kaniyang anak. Niyakap niya ito nang mahigpit at hinalikan sa noo. “Owen, my son. Are you okay?” Yumakap nang mahigpit si Owen sa kaniya at lalong nag-iyak ito nang makita siya. “Stop crying, you are safe now.” “Where is mommy?” “Soon, baby, we will go home.” Kinarga niya si Owen palabas ng hotel; nagmamadali silang lumabas dahil mas lalong tumitindi ang barilan sa pagitan ng grupo ni Hudson at ng mga pulis.

Pagdating sa lokasyon ay agad na pinasok ng mga NBI ang loob ng hotel. Nagkagulo ang lahat nang pumasok ang kapulisan.

Kailangan kong makita ang anak ko! Kailangan kong makita si Owen, pakiusap.” Niyakap nang mahigpit ni Christopher si Cassandra, tanging ito lamang ang kaniyang maibibigay upang pawiin ang takot at pangamba ni Cassandra.

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-Three: Beauty and the BeastThe light of dawn seeped into the room, and sunlight poured through the window. Adhara, who was naked, picked up her clothes and dressed herself. She still recalled the night she shared with Jarckon. The fire burning in her body flamed like a fire that was burning her soul. As their bodies united as one, their moods lifted. Her heart leaped for joy. It was a great feeling—different from the first time Jarckon had been with her. She took a glance at Jarckon, who was still sleeping, and treasured every moment she was with him. Again, she stared at the man who had captured her heart. Everything changed in an instant. She thought that being with "the beast" Jarckon had brought her a miracle. They often dined together and shared thoughts they never used to discuss. Their confession of feelings had created a harmonious relationship under the roof they shared. It was like a fairy tale, and everything was perfect. But the fairy tale they had dreamed of turned into a nightmare. Jarckon tur

His thick eyelashes and lean, hard jawline made him more attractive in Adhara’s eyes.“Why do you make it hard for me? From the day you brought me to the castle, I thought my life would be in danger. Every time I see your eyes blazing like fire in anger, my heart melts—and there are moments I feel like you’ve stabbed me a hundred times with heartache.”She could not control her emotions as she touched Jarckon’s face and breathed in his scent. She rested her head on his chest for a moment and touched his lips with her fingers.“It might feel safer to hide my feelings, but I’m now convinced that hiding them was a mistake,” Adhara said to herself.She took a step back, put her palm over her mouth, and bit it.“Adhara?”“I’m sorry to wake you. I’m just checking your pulse rate… and your breathing.”Jarckon stared at her and smiled at once. Her face turned red like tomatoes glimmering under the sun’s he

That night, Slagle had left her. It made her heart tear into pieces. From that night, everything had changed.She found Jarckon lifeless, covered in blood, with scars and bruises. She stayed in the cabin for the whole night after helping him out of the forest.That night, she saw herself with the Alpha—but then she refused to accept that Jarckon was her fated mate.“I know there is so much running in your head now,” Alexius said.

Alexius’ voice was an eerie sound rattling in her ears — like a storm slowly breaking her down. “Adhara, you need to accept it.” She just shook her head, and sadness blanketed her. She chewed her lower lip and let tears flow down her face. Alexius sighed and looked at her, searching for words to comfort her. “Tell me — why am I the reason for his suffering?” He looked at Adhara but couldn’t meet her eyes. Before he spoke, he was careful. He gave a tight, half-smile, thinking it would comfort her and lighten her heavy thoughts. “When did it start?” she asked Alexius. But he just moved closer and tapped her shoulder, saying he was sorry for how she felt. He sat facing her, finding the courage to look into her eyes. “I don’t want to hurt you… But I guess it’s your right to know everything.” “Tell me.” Her eyes pleaded w

She couldn’t believe that Jarckon would turn to her and act like a child. She went to the room and got the kit. She looked at Alexius, who was resting his head against the wall while sitting on the floor. “Let me clean your wounds.” He just looked at Adhara and allowed her to clean his wounds. She sat beside him, holding the medicine kit, and wiped the blood from his forehead before putting a bandage on it. “I’m sorry for the damage that has been done… I should have listened to you.” “It’s surprising. I've never seen him like that before.” She just sighed, exhaled, and glanced at Jarckon. “I’m impressed by what you did.” Alexius glared at Jarckon. There was sadness in his eyes. Adhara just
