Beneath The Contract CHAPTER FOURTEEN: "And trust requires absolute honesty!"
CHAPTER 14:The hum of the van’s engine was the only sound filling the silence as they cruised through the sleeping streets of Manila. Outside, the city was a blur of neon and heavy shadows, but inside, the air was suffocating with Xielle’s unspoken turmoil.It was already 3:00 AM. Everything that had transpired at the warehouse—the desperate screams, the shattering betrayal, the sight of Zeke standing in the dark like a calculating shadow—felt like a fever dream. Her heart was screaming for her to curl into a ball and disappear from the world, but her mind had already kicked into cold survival mode. She had a grueling two-week shoot ahead of her. She had a career to protect. She chose to be professional, even if her soul felt like it was crumbling into dust."Bakit biglaan naman ang gusto mong paglipat?" Maxine asked, breaking the quiet. She looked at Xielle through the rearview mirror, noticing the deathly, ghost-like pallor of her friend’s skin despite the dim dashboard light.X

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

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

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
