Chapter 6

For someone who had officially become unemployed...

Natalie Ariana De Dios had somehow become the busiest person in the house.

By eight in the morning, she'd already finished breakfast.

By nine, she had all the dirty dishes washed and drying on the rack.

By ten, she was vacuuming the living room while Laarni watched a Korean drama and dramatically commented on every scene.

"That guy's cheating."

"Mom."

"He is!"<

    Chapter 6For someone who had officially become unemployed...Natalie Ariana De Dios had somehow become the busiest person in the house.By eight in the morning, she'd already finished breakfast.By nine, she had all the dirty dishes washed and drying on the rack.By ten, she was vacuuming the living room while Laarni watched a Korean drama and dramatically commented on every scene."That guy's cheating.""Mom.""He is!""Focus on your drama.""I am."Natalie laughed, shaking her head.She hadn't realized how much she missed being home.Not as a guest.But as a daughter.As an older sister.As simply...Natalie.---By eleven, she found Migo sitting alone on the back porch.He still looked miserable.She quietly sat beside him.Neither of them spoke for a while.The afternoon bre

    For the first time in years...More or less 7 or 8 years... Natalie Ariana De Dios woke up without an alarm.No phone vibrating on the nightstand.No calendar reminders.No client meetings.No contracts waiting for her signature.No bridal gown fittings.No divorce hearings.She slowly opened her eyes, blinking at the soft morning sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains."...What time is it?"Her voice was hoarse from sleep.She lazily reached for her phone.9:43 A.M.Natalie smiled."Wow..."She hadn't slept past seven in almost five years.Stretching her arms above her head, she let out a satisfied sigh."So this is unemployment."It felt...Nice.Peaceful.Quiet.She buried her face back into her pillow."No emails, no deadlines No pretending to be someone else's wife." A genuine smile spread across her lips. "I could get used to this."She closed her eyes again.Maybe she'd sleep for another hour.Maybe she'd spend the day binge-watching anime..Maybe she'd finally organiz

    The receptionist, Shami looked up as the elevator doors opened."Ma'am Sasha."Sasha adjusted the sleeve of her beige blazer as she walked toward the lobby."Shami, did Jas already—"She stopped.There, seated comfortably on one of the black leather sofas in the reception area, was the last person she expected to still be there.Luca Elios Hernaez.One leg crossed over the other.Hands resting on the armrest.Completely unbothered.As if he owned the building.His executive assistant, Sebastian Cruz, stood a respectful distance behind him.Several employees stole discreet glances at the billionaire, whispering among themselves.Sasha sighed under her breath. "...Seriously?"Shami immediately stood from the reception desk."Ma'am.""I thought Mr. Hernaez already left."Shami gave her an apologetic smile."He refused."Sasha blinked. "...Refused?""Yes, ma'am. Although, I already informed him that Attorney Natalie resigned. He said he'll wait.""For what?"Shami lowered her voice. "For

    Natalie stood just outside the S&S Consultancy building, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the sidewalk.She checked the time on her wristwatch.3:17 PM.Jas was taking longer than expected."She probably got distracted again," Natalie muttered, shaking her head with a small smile.Knowing Jas, she'd stop to gossip with the receptionist, raid the pantry for snacks, or somehow end up in Trina's cubicle discussing office drama.Natalie shifted the strap of her shoulder bag and waited patiently near the entrance.Employees came and went.Cars pulled up before driving away.For the first time in years...She wasn't in a rush.No client to meet.No contract to review.No wedding to prepare for.No divorce hearing on tomorrow's calendar.It felt...Strange.Peaceful.Her thoughts were interrupted by the low, luxurious purr of an engine.A sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly entered the driveway, gliding toward the building's main entrance.Natalie's eyes instinctively followe

    The atmosphere inside the executive boardroom of Hernaez Holdings Corporation was suffocatingly formal.Floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooked the Makati skyline, while a twenty-foot walnut conference table seated the company's board of directors.No one dared to speak out of turn.Not when Luca Elios Hernaez was at the head of the table.His tailored charcoal suit was immaculate, his expression unreadable as he sat with one hand resting against his jaw.The presentation continued."...Based on the fourth quarter projections, our expansion in Southeast Asia is expected to increase our annual revenue by at least twelve percent."Marielle Fernandez, the company's Chief Financial Officer, clicked to the next slide."The projected operating cost—"Click."The acquisition timeline—"Click."...Mr. Hernaez?"Silence.Marielle frowned."...Sir?"Nothing.Every executive exchanged awkward glances.Luca wasn't listening.That much was obvious.Instead, he stared at his tablet, reading the sam

    The sound of clear packing tape echoed through the quiet office.Natalie stood in front of her cubicle, carefully placing the last of her belongings into a brown storage box.A small succulent.A framed photo of three women laughing at the beach.A white ceramic mug that read World's Okayest Lawyer.A stack of legal books she never got around to returning to the office library.She dusted the empty desk with a microfiber cloth before pausing to look around.For five years, this had been her second home.The headquarters of S&S Consultancy, a discreet legal consulting firm owned by Sahara Shanel So.At least, that was what the public believed.Behind closed doors, S&S handled highly confidential contractual arrangements for the country's wealthiest families—always legal, always protected by ironclad confidentiality agreements.Natalie had been its best consultant.Or rather...Its best kept secret."Seriously?"Natalie looked up as a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.Jasmin "Ja
