Lilliane was dropped off by the jeepney at the Petron corner in GMA, Cavite. The driver said that was the last stop, and he could catch another ride to Laguna before the boundary.

She glanced around. Despite it being nine in the evening, there were still a few people scattered around the area, and some establishments remained open.

She approached the vendor selling Japanese cakes. There were a few pieces left, and she bought five with yema (1) flavor.

“Do you know of any motels around here?” she asked.

The vendor pointed to her left, and she followed the direction of his hand.

“That building over there,” he said, indicating a three-story structure overlooking the highway. “That’s a motel, ma’am.”

She took the cakes and thanked him. But as she realized she might not have enough time or money for a motel check-in, she turned back to the vendor.

“Bed... space for females? Do you know any, kuya? (2)”

The thin man looked up at her.

“I might be short on cash,” she reasoned. “I’ll leave by m

    The door opened, and she peeked in.“Miguel…” she said softly. She never called him ‘sir,’ except when others were around. Her tone had never changed, even with him as CEO. “Working overtime again? Or do you want to rest?”Miguel didn’t answer, only lifted his glass slightly, staring at the brown liquid as if it could carry the weight of the day.Beatrice felt the heaviness in his expression—a quiet sorrow, unlike anything she had seen in her young master. Since his curiosity about Lilliane Olivares had awakened, she had witnessed emotions she’d never seen him show to any other woman.“You don’t need to say it,” she murmured. “Even without words, I know. It’s Lilliane, isn’t it?”Miguel remained silent, finally letting out a long, deep sigh.“I never wanted things to become complicated,” he admitted, almost in a whisper.Beatrice raised an eyebrow and entered the office fully, closing the door behind her. Her eyes never left him, reading the emotions etched on his face. She sat on the

    The room was quiet. Miguel stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass window of his office, watching the sun sink slowly behind the city skyline. In one hand, he held a glass of brown liquid—cold to the touch, yet warm as it slid down his throat.The fading sunlight brushed the edge of his face, casting shadows that seemed half-drowned in darkness. His eyes were distant, measuring the vastness of the sky and the weight of decisions he was forced to make.He took another quiet sip. Not a sound disturbed the room—only the steady beat of his heart and the ticking of the clock on the wall.His posture radiated the authority of a leader, but behind the cold glass, traces of exhaustion and loneliness lingered.Earlier, he had received a call from Agus. The woman he had been searching for so long—Lilliane Olivares—was said to be in the city.The news froze him. He had told his friend weeks ago to stop looking for her. Yet Agus had ignored him.Now, hearing that she was in Manila, he felt a confusin

    TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter contains graphic and disturbing scenes from the perspective of a predatory character. It includes themes of obsessive desire, psychological grooming, and sexual content that may not be suitable or comfortable for all readers. Proceed with caution. *** Lilliane quickly got out of the taxi and didn’t bother waiting for change. She had no time to waste—she was certain someone was already after her. Her heart pounded rapidly, but she kept her movements calm so as not to panic or lose track of her plan. She asked a woman for the time, who told her it was already 4:50 in the afternoon. She thanked her quickly and went to the front of the terminal she had passed earlier. A bus conductor was calling for passengers bound for Lucena—the bus was about to leave. Without hesitation, she boarded and went straight to the back, not knowing exactly where that place would lead her. She took a deep breath once seated. She didn’t care if the person in front or beside

    On the other line, a sharp voice greeted the informant. “Where?” “Mall of Asia. About 23 minutes ago.” The informant's fingers trembled slightly as he typed a quick command to confirm the ATM details. Mall of Asia, Pasay City Terminal. The timestamp read 4:17 PM. “She just withdrew ten thousand at Mall of Asia. Want me to dig deeper, boss?” the man added. A brief static noise filled the line before a low voice responded. “Send me everything. Location, timestamps. I’ll handle the rest.” The informant nodded, his pulse quickening. “Consider it done.” With a few swift keystrokes, he sent the data packet and leaned back with a sly smile. The day he had been waiting for had finally arrived—the promise of additional payment once he delivered the information that would lead them to capture Ms. Olivares. Meanwhile, Ruel quickly gathered their men in preparation for capturing Lilliane. Some of them—including him—immediately headed to Mall of Asia to check the CCTV footage. Once the

    “Are you sure about this decision?” Consuelo asked, her voice filled with concern. Lilliane nodded slowly. “Yes, ‘Nay. I’ll come back to you. I won’t be staying long in Manila. I just need to do this for myself and my baby,” she explained. Consuelo took a deep breath before reaching for Lilliane’s hands. She accompanied her to the bus terminal in Tuguegarao, with her nephew driving them there. It was just past four in the morning, the time Lilliane had chosen to travel back to Manila. The journey to Tuguegarao took three hours, and from there, the bus ride to Cubao would take between ten to twelve hours—since it was the earliest schedule available. If she were to take a bus to Pasay or Sampaloc, the earliest trips from Tuguegarao wouldn’t be until six or eight in the morning. She didn’t want to arrive in Manila after dark, nor did she want to stay there any longer than necessary. She planned to return immediately, even though she knew it would be exhausting. She needed to mislead

    In the building’s main lobby, three employees huddled near the front desk, whispering as they occasionally glanced at the meeting room upstairs. One of them, a woman dressed in corporate attire, was biting her nails—a clear sign of anxiety. “Have you heard? Accounting says our salaries might be delayed again,” one of them whispered urgently. “If this keeps up, we might not have jobs by the next quarter,” a male employee responded, gripping the handle of his bag tightly. “We should start looking for other jobs now,” another woman said sadly. She had been with the company since Leonard was CEO. “What do you think happened to Miss Lilliane?” The three exchanged glances at the mention of the company heiress. They hadn’t heard any news about her for a long time—the last being rumors of her upcoming marriage to the elderly media magnate. Meanwhile, on a quiet corner of the executive floor, a senior manager sat with a furrowed brow, scrolling through the financial report on his tablet. H
