Beneath The Contract CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Beneath The Contract
CHAPTER 13: THE SET UP DATE.The morning light in Zeke’s penthouse was unforgiving. It cut through the sheer, floor-to-ceiling curtains in sharp, blinding blades, hitting the silk sheets with a clinical brightness that made Xielle’s brain throb in rhythm with her heartbeat.Xielle groaned, burying her face into a pillow that smelled of cedarwood and cold discipline. Her head felt like it was being hammered from the inside out—the premium tequila she’d downed at the celebration was finally demanding its payment. Memories of the previous night flashed in her mind like a broken film reel: the neon blue lights of the lounge, Arthur’s annoyed face, and then… Zeke.Zeke, whose jealousy had been anything but professional.She rolled over, her body aching in places that reminded her exactly how "punishing" he could be when he felt his territory was being threatened. The space beside her was empty, but the sheets were still warm, the lingering scent of his cologne acting as a silent anchor to
Beneath The Contract CHAPTER TWELVE: R18- punishment
CHAPTER 12: For the past two months, Xielle and Zeke’s world existed in the space between midnight and dawn. It was a cycle of high-octane pleasure—nothing more, nothing less. They were like two high-functioning addicts who only called each other when the heat became too much to handle.Despite her fierce independence, Xielle had grown dangerously accustomed to the arrangement. Whether it was a professional crisis or a personal breakdown, she had subconsciously started to rely on the fact that Zeke was always there to rescue her, even if their "safety net" was built on nothing but physical attraction."Aren't you afraid of getting pregnant?" Tania asked, her voice cutting through the chill of the rooftop bar. They were sharing a quiet drink, the city lights shimmering through the condensation on their glasses.Xielle went still. She didn't answer immediately; the thought was a constant, low-frequency hum in the back of her mind. Zeke had always been entirely clear about his boundar

CHAPTER 11:The transition from the quiet sanctuary of Zeke’s penthouse to the glaring spotlights of TVN Studio 7 was jarring. For two days, Xielle had been cocooned in Zeke’s world—he had played the role of a devoted provider, cooking for her, ensuring she was pampered, and watching over her with a quiet intensity that felt more like a promise than a contract. He treated her like the center of his universe, but eventually, the "Nation’s Sweetheart" had to return to her throne. TVN Studio 7: The Grand Press ConferenceThe stage was a sea of flashing lights. Xielle stood under the spotlight, her new mahogany hair catching the glare of a dozen cameras. She looked radiant—stronger and more sophisticated than the public had ever seen her. Beside her, Jake, her leading man, played his part perfectly, flashing a signature dimpled smile."And now for our leading lady," the host announced. "Xielle, the tension between you and Jake is undeniable! Tell us, is it hard to pull off that level o
Beneath The Contract CHAPTER 10: "Are you his girlfriend!?"
CHAPTER TEN:The heavy, post-passion silence of the penthouse was shattered by a voice that could rival a thunderstorm."What the hell, son!"Zeke and Xielle’s eyes snapped open in unison. The shock was like a bucket of ice water. Xielle’s heart nearly leapt out of her chest as she scrambled to pull the duvet up to her chin, her face heating up to a frantic crimson. Zeke, even the protective wall, rolled out of bed instantly, grabbing a silk robe and positioning himself to block the view of the bed.‘Is that his Mom? Patay’, Xielle thought, her mind racing through every scandal headline imaginable.As Zeke stepped out to the hallway to intercept the intruder, Xielle moved with lightning speed. She didn't have time to find her luggage, so she snatched the first things she saw: Zeke’s oversized button-down shirt and a pair of his boxers. After a quick fix in the mirror, she gathered her courage and crept out to the living area.She saw them on the couch—Zeke looking exasperated and a wo

CHAPTER NINE: "I have two weeks of your time to make up for, and I plan on using every second of it.”The tropical heat of Batangas was already settling in by the time Xielle sat in her chair for hair and makeup. Despite the early call time, she felt energized—mostly because her phone kept buzzing with short, blunt, yet surprisingly sweet messages from Zeke."Have you heard? May gf na raw si pogi yung CEO ng Z Luxury and swerte ng babae gigising ganun mukha na makikita" her makeup artist whispered to the hairstylist, their eyes glued to a tabloid site.Xielle kept her gaze fixed on her reflection, a secret smile tugging at her lips. "Nakita ko nga yung picture, grabe ganda ng katawan ni Zeke!" the hairstylist replied. "Hindi lang kita yung mukha ng babae pero feeling ko maganda yon grabe naman ang standard ni Sir Zeke" “Hay nako! Basta grabe ang katawan ni Zeke" “Totoo! alam mo Miss Xielle bagay sayo ang ganung lalake" Baling ng Make up artist kay Xielle." Nako wala sa isip ko yan
Beneath The Contract CHAPTER EIGHT:
Weeks later XIELLE is invited to a gala full of celebrities and businessmen. Xielle is already used to ut but today hits different because she's not in the mood and she's drained.The pressure on Xielle was reaching a boiling point. Between the frantic preparations for the gala and the suffocating demands of her father, she felt like she was walking on a tightrope that was about to snap.Two days before the gala, Xielle was in the middle of a hair treatment when her phone vibrated. Seeing "Papa" on the screen made her stomach drop. She stepped out into the hallway to answer."Pa? Bakit po?" Xielle asked, her voice already tired."Kailangan ko ng fifty thousand. May emergency lang sa bahay," her father’s voice came through, sounding rushed and desperate.Xielle felt a sharp sting in her chest. "Pa, kakabigay ko lang noong isang linggo, 'di ba? Para sa gamot ng kapatid ko 'yon. Wala na akong extra ngayon, kailangan ko ring magtabi for myself.""Anong wala? Sikat ka na, Xielle! Nakikita k

Beneath The Contract CHAPTER THREE: "Sit. Properly,"
CHAPTER THREE:Xielle’s eyes snapped open at exactly 6:00 AM. Even though her body begged for another hour of sleep, she forced herself to head to the rooftop gym. It was a routine she never broke whenever her morning was free. In her industry, staying fit and pretty wasn't just about vanity—it was
Beneath The Contract CHAPTER FIVE: "I don't mind the blood in my sword, Khion"
CHAPTER FIVE:The interior of the luxury sedan was suffocatingly quiet, the only sound being the soft hum of the engine and the sharp, irritating vibration of Xielle’s phone. Zeke sat beside her, his silhouette sharp against the passing city lights, his expression unreadable as he stared straight ah
Beneath The Contract CHAPTER FOUR: "You have a bad habit of picking up trash, Khione,"
CHAPTER FOUR: The night had been nothing short of a fever dream for Zeke. He found himself standing in a 24-hour convenience store at 2:00 AM, staring intensely at a wall of feminine hygiene products like he was trying to solve a complex merger. He was the CEO of a multi-million dollar company, ye
