THE WEAKNESS IN THE SNOW

Ang International Winter Charity Gala sa Grand Ballroom ng The Plaza Hotel ay ang pinakatampok na kaganapan sa high-society ng Manhattan ngayong gabi. The historic hotel was filled with New York's elite, multi-billionaires, and international corporate royalty. Ngunit nang bumukas ang malalaking pintuan ng ballroom, tila ba huminto ang tugtog ng orkestra para sa pagdating ng isang panauhing pandangal.

I stepped into the room, and the crowd instantly went silent, whispers

  • Broken Contract with My Client   Chapter 33

    THE HAVEN CARE AMBUSHAng marangyang Escalade ni Liam ay mabilis na humarurot sa gitna ng makapal na niyebe ng Fifth Avenue patungo sa Upper East Side. I was shivering under my heavy wool trench coat, my forehead resting against the cold glass window as the flashing lights of Manhattan blurred into a single streak of darkness. Ang tindi ng lagnat ko ay patuloy na umaakyat, ngunit ang isip ko ay nakatutok lang sa kaligtasan ng aking ina."Double the security staff at Terminal 4, and tell the private jet branch to stay on standby," Liam commanded coldly into his earpiece, his blue eyes flashing with a ruthless Wall Street fury as he navigated the busy New York traffic. He dropped his phone and immediately reached across the seat, wrapping his long, warm hand over my frozen fingers. "Wren, look at me. Breathe. My trust fund already dispatched a secondary specialized medical team to the Haven Care Complex. Julian Mercer’s corporate thugs cannot pass through my private security. Your mothe

    THE PROPOSAL IN THE CROSSFIREAng hangin sa loob ng aking opisina ay tuluyang nawalan ng oxygen sa pinal na binitawang pangungusap ni Liam. “Wren, why not just marry me.. and let’s make it official that Leo is my child..”The absolute silence that followed was heavy, suffocating, and dripping with an unreadable high-society tension. Napatitig ako kay Liam, ang aking kanang kamay na hawak ang aking eyeglasses ay bahagyang nanginginig sa tindi ng gulat. Liam’s blue eyes were no longer carrying that playful Manhattan charm; they were intensely steady, dead serious, and flashing with a deep, protective vulnerability na ngayon ko lang nakita sa kaniya sa loob ng anim na taon. He was offering me his name, his multi-billion-dollar Wall Street foundation, and an ironclad legal shield that could permanently end the tracking of any local or foreign predator.Pero bago ko pa man mahanap ang aking boses upang sumagot, ang buong silid ay nanginginig sa tindi ng aura na biglang nagpakawala mula sa

    THE NEW YORK ENEMYAng sikat ng araw sa Manhattan ay hindi nagdala ng init, kundi isang masalimoot na lamig na tila ba bumaon sa aking balat habang nakatayo ako sa harap ng glass windows ng Apex Global Talent Solutions. Pagkatapos ng matinding komprontasyon sa The Manhattan Club, kung saan palihim na sinunog ni Kai Vance ang kaniyang sariling reputasyon para lamang patigilin ang paninira ni Morgana sa media, akala ko ay magkakaroon na ako ng kahit kaunting kapayapaan. Ngunit sa mundo ng mga elitista, ang bawat pag-atras ng isang kaaway ay nangangahulugan lamang ng pagpasok ng isang mas mapanganib na mandaragit."Ma'am Wren," marahang tawag ni Jane habang pormal na humahakbang pumasok sa aking opisina. Hawak niya ang kaniyang corporate tablet na kasalukuyang nag-iilaw mula sa mga pulang babala. "We have a critical operational breach, and this time, it’s not coming from the Vance holding branch. Isang bagong karibal na kumpanya mula sa Wall Street, ang Vanguard Executive Search, and cur

    THE ABSOLUTE SURRENDERNapatulala ang apat na senior corporate lawyers ni Kai nang marinig ang kaniyang pormal at marahas na utos. Kai was burning his own family's reputation and risking a massive public scandal just to shield my name and protect Leo’s future from Morgana's desperation. He was using his entire billion-dollar Vance holding branch as a physical shield for us in front of the whole world.I go back in my seat and listen to him their conversation. Liam stood on my back while looking Kai in a cold blue eyes."Mr. Vance, that statement will drop our public investment inputs by another five percent or more, this will definitely not going to approve by your Vance Fam-," his head lawyer stammered with wide, horrified eyes.Before his head lawyer finished his line."Do not make me repeat myselft", Kai became dangerously serious, looking his head lawyers as if he was slicing the. "Execute it now," Kai growled coldly, his grey eyes never leaving my face as the lawyers rushed ou

    THE TRUTH UNCOVEREDNapatitig sa akin si Kai at ang kaniyang tycoon mask ay tuluyang nag-crack, letting me see the raw, bleeding mixture of intense fury and overwhelming regret in his gray eyes. I cannot deny it. Nakaramdam ako ng lungkot ng makita ito pero hindi ko ito ipinahalata. This is exactly what I want. Seeing him regret. Before he could speak to re-assert his dominant grip, the double doors of the private room were thrown open by club security.Jane entered quickly, holding her corporate tablet, her face pale but her eyes filled with an absolute professional urgency."Ma'am Wren, sorry to interrupt the mediation, but we have a catastrophic leak from the Manila branch," Jane reported smoothly, her voice shaking as she checked the encrypted files.I looked at her and Jane gave me the tablet and let me the see what exacly she meant.Jane explains."Morgana just filed an official statement to the international press. She is claiming that the old 'Marriage Contract’ from six years

  • Broken Contract with My Client   Chapter 28

    THE MANHATTAN CLUB AMBUSHThe private dining room of The Manhattan Club was filled with the quiet, suffocating luxury of dark wood and vintage crystal. We enter to the main hall and saw Kai Vance sat at the head of the long executive table, looking every bit the absolute ruler of his financial district, his charcoal-gray suit perfectly matching the intimidating atmosphere of the room.When I walked in, his gray eyes instantly target-locked onto my face. I wore a pristine white power suit, my stride side-by-side with Liam carrying an absolute, invincible aura. I looked him straightly and smile a little as formality and to not let any one in the room thinks differently about me and my company."Good evening, CEO Reyes," Kai said, his voice dropping into that quiet, suffocating baritone as I sat across from him. He didn't look like a desperate man; he spoke with the absolute certainty of a tycoon who believed he still held the leverage."I see you brought your Wall Street shield again. I
