It was not an accident. Someone wanted her dead as Jenica Laurel - the heiress of Guam Business Empire. To be honest, sheโs accustomed to being chased by death everyday while sheโs working as a secret agent. But now, sheโs using her real identity, yet someone still hired an assassin to go after her. It might be someone from the board of directors, their business competitor, or someone entirely new. Jenica was not sure. To her dismay, all clues leading to the mastermindโs identity were cut-off. But she wouldnโt give up. Kaya matapos ang ilang araw na pananatili sa ospital ay minabuti niyang magtungo sa Guam Business Empireโs headquarter at kausapin ang Uncle Marc niya. Nakita pa niya ang gulat sa mga mata nito nang makita ang sugat sa ulo niya. โWhat happened to you? Iโve been looking for you for a week!โ sabi ng Uncle Marc niya.She sighed. โSomeone assassinated me but they failed. Uncle, I want to ask you something. Please follow me in my office.โTumitig ang lalaki sa kaniya bago
"Dad!" Shimen called and looked at Jenica worriedly. "Don't lock her up. We're not yet married, and she has still her Uncle Marc who is her close kin. You can't make her agree to your requests," dagdag nito. Mr. Takura squinted and seemed to remember her Uncle Marc. He snorted and stood, leaving her behind with Shimen. The dinner ended just like that."Sorry for my father's behavior," Shimen apologized. "Let me make it clear to you and your father," sabi ni Jenica. "This is just a paper marriage. If he wouldn't give me respect and would insist in his personal agenda to trample my Uncle Marc's prestige by shaming me, I will not hesitate to cancel the wedding.""But your inheritance ---"She raised a hand to stop his words and looked at him in the eye. "I can still find alternatives to free my inheritance. This marriage is just the easy way to obtain, but I am willing to go beyond just to get what's rightfully mine."Shimen clenched and unclenched his fists. "I understand," he mumble
Alex did not know why Jenica suddenly sent him a divorce paper. She did not elaborate her plan. But he received an invitation earlier regarding Jenica's upcoming marriage with a man named Shimen Takura.He did not like it at all.Jenica looked at Alex who was staring badly at her, and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you glaring at me?" She squinted. "Hindi ba 'yan din ang ginawa mo months ago?""What?" Alex mumbled."You engaged yourself with Gia Antonete before, but did you hear me questioning you?" Jenica crossed her arms against her chest. "Now that I want to remarry, you will voice out your disagreement. Tell me, isn't that fair?"Alex's gaze darkened. "I did tell you that it was a fake engagement.""So what? It's still an engagement anyway."There was a long pause between them, before Alex continued. "I won't sign the divorce letter." He smirked. "So you can't marry that bastard."Jenica stared at him and squinted. "Are you for real?"But Alex only flashed an evil smile.So when she
"What's your name?" Jenica asked, looking gently at the weak boy lying in the hospital bed.She had been staying in the hospital for a week now and her other son had woken up. Ngayon na gising na ang bata, naisipan niyang itanong dito kung anong pangalan nito. Ayaw niya kasing marinig na tinatawag itong 'Totoy'. "Totsie, Ma'am," bulong nito na narinig niya. Totsie, what a name. Then she introduced herself to the young boy as his mother, and presented Alex standing beside her as his father. And Totsie's reaction? Well, as what she expected from him. "Hindi ko po kayo kilala, Ate at Kuya."Jenica sighed as she expected this outcome. When she first saw his photo, she let Carol pursue her little boy. So technically, it was their first time meeting each other. "Huwag mo akong tawaging Ate. Tawagin mo akong nanay."Umiling si Totsie. Ayaw talaga nitong tanggapin na sila ang parents niya. Mula nang nagkamuwang siya ay ang Tata Pobe na ang nag-alaga sa kaniya. Hindi na pinilit pa ni Je
It seemed like while she was fighting for her inheritance, her son unlucky fell deep into the enemy's schemes. If not for Agent Z and Carol rescuing him on time, her other son might not be alive by now."What happened?" she asked. Although she didn't want outsiders know of her personal business, but given Agent Z's intelligence and Carol's care towards Sham's twin, she was not surprised that Agent Z called to inform her of the bad situation.There was a long pause on the other line before he answered, "When I recovered, I went back to the syndicate's lair and happened to hear them discussing about a certain boy's condition. It seemed like while the boy was operating on the street, a car bummed into him."Nangunot ang noo ni Jenica. Ang sinasabi ni Agent Z na 'operating on the street' ay malamang may kinalaman sa panlilimos nito sa kalsada."Where is he now?" "They rushed him into hospital but I don't think they will fork out a large sum of money for his surgery." Kumuyom ang kamao n
Kumunot ang noo ng Uncle Marc niya pero hindi ito kumibo ni umimik. Even Shimen didn't say a word. Nagkatinginan ang mga tao sa loob at nagdesisyon na huwag nalang din umimik. Jenica nodded and grinned a little. She now realized that no one is trustworthy in this group of wolves in sheep's clothing. Even her Uncle Marc is hiding something from her. Now, she just wanted to use her new identity as Guam Business Empire's CEO to find her son. Looking at Shimen, she squinted her eyes. "Send me the marriage contract, and I will send a partnership contract to your father." She clicked her tongue. "That father of yours is someone I can't afford to offend noh? He didn't attend this welcome meeting."Shimen sighed. "I'm sorry. He's sick and been recuperating at the hospital.""I see." She nodded. "Send my regards to him then, and to your mother.""I will."With that, Jenica exited the conference room leaving her Uncle Marc with the board of directors. Shimen stood and smiled as he looked at h
