Nursing her broken heart and trampled pride, Abigail Marie Fuentebella Sandoval gatecrashed her ex-fiance's engagement party. At the corner of the massive hall, she painfully watches his betrayal while drowning herself in several glasses of champagne. Her boyfriend for eight years fathers her scheming stepsister's unborn. Worst, they look so happy together. So, to get even, she randomly hooked up with a striking man among the crowd of fine gentlemen. Believing he is someone of importance. However, that night, she becomes a laughingstock when she found a pauper instead of a prince. She was immensely ridiculed for having a nobody as a replacement for her wealthy ex-fiance, the President of F&D Group of Companies, Justin Del Castillo. From a millionaire boyfriend, she ends up with a struggling man who cannot even bring her on a date in her family-owned luxurious hotel. Unknowing to all, especially to Abigail, she wasn't mistaken that night. Yes, everyone was right. The man she picked is unfortunately not a millionaire... ...But a BILLIONAIRE. The business tycoon, CEO Lucas Alexander Montes Wright. The precious firstborn of the world's richest family and eldest heir of the Petrov Mafia.

Calm yet curious gazes were directed at him while he casually turned and stared at the ring his sister was asking for.Pensively, he played it with his thumb, moving the ring around his finger. He took his time before a soft smile carved his lips. Abby watches in dread. Unknowing that she has been holding her breath. Since the eldest heir's arrival, she has been fighting the truth while convincing herself with a lie. Her brain could still not accept the reality that her heart had known since the beginning.She may cast aside the other things that resembled him but the ring ended every doubt she had. Anyhow, she will never mistake the man her heart belongs to no matter what way he packaged himself. She is just stubborn. "Sort of" he mumbles while meeting his sister's earnest eyes. "Someone so dear bought this for me" he added while averting his gaze toward his pare
"Kiera?" Abby's eyes grew wider upon recognizing the woman with a ball in her stomach. "Abby!" A shriek reverberated throughout the entire venue."Kiera Azure, please, be careful" the man who was with her, rushed to keep up after she dashed forward. Even the older Wright couple and Lissie Wright immediately become anxious about what they are witnessing. Abby did the same, worried the pregnant woman might trip. "Careful, Kiera. You forgot you swallowed a ball" Abby was quick to reach her so all were relieved."It was not the ball I swallowed, it's something long, silly" Kiera incredulously glares before hugging her.Instead of being embarrassed, Abby rolled her eyes in exasperation."What are you doing in Austin City? I thought you were in training" Kiera promptly asks while they tightly hug each other. "I finished a few months ago and I'm now back home to attend to the hospital" Abby casually explains while staring at her friend's face. "You still looked like a high schooler. It
Abby stares at the beauty beside her while everyone is in furor to earn her attention. She was aware of her own beauty but the lady looked like a life-size doll. Stunning and at the same time angelic. A dainty beauty fit for a princess. "Hello, Dr. Abigail Marie Fuentebella" Amidst the greetings around her, the lady turned to face her. "Lissie Wright, youngest of the Wright siblings. Nice meeting you, Doctor" Abby was startled when she hugged and gave her a cheek-to-cheek kiss as a greeting. The heiress ignored everyone's greetings while she treated her with such familiarity that immensely surprised her. It was quite strange and she was sure she hadn't met her before. Never did she have a chance to see any of the Wrights from afar. "Ahm, hello, Miss Wright" After clearing her throat, she tries to smile despite the confusion she feels. If she heard her name right, the beautiful lady was someone affiliated with the Wrights. The host family of the Gala dinner. But what is a Wright
"Are you sure about this, Kara? Will I not go to prison if I lose this jewelry? I don't feel good about this" Abby anxiously mumbles while checking the necklace around her neck for the nth time. She got no response but a chuckle. Still anxious, she moved to check the matching pair of dangling earrings she was wearing and the ring around her middle finger next to the ring she and Lam bought. Their ring looked so tiny compared to the massive diamond ring that also matched the design of the necklace and earrings. But she refused to take it off. On her other hand, a full-eternity diamond ring adorned her index. Five times bigger than her wedding ring. All the pieces of jewelry she was wearing sparkled in pure grandiosity, reflecting the lights of the massive chandelier above them. Eyes follow as she walks through the brightly lit lobby of the venue. The black trumpet-style off-shoulder evening gown, made of the highest quality of silk she was wearing revealed her perfection. Everyon
The night she went home, Lam had already left. No trace of him inside their new apartment. If Kara is not with her, she could have mistaken him for a dream. But he can never be just a dream, his marks are vividly printed on her body. The tenderness between her legs is still nagging her every movement. Lam is real and he left a lot for her not to forget him. "A pest is coming" Kara whispers just in time for the door of the chairman's office burst open. She was confused by what Kara was saying but the moment she saw the figure at the door she almost burst out in laughter. "So your pauper prince dumped you" The disdain in the voice was not missed."Good day, President Del Castillo. What official business brought you to my office?" Ignoring his insult, she continues to read the document in her hand. "Losing someone worthless is easy" Justin smirks while intently staring at her. "Yes, it's easy. The reason I never shed a tear with your betrayal" she mutters while raising a brow to hi
"Do you trust me, Abigail Marie?" Lam asked after halting their steps outside the door of the conference room. "With my life" Though confused, she promptly replies. "I compel you to it, Abigail Marie. Hence, bear in mind, that I will do everything for you" With his earnest gaze boring her, he seriously demanded. "Never will I doubt you, Lam" She meets his eyes despite not understanding what he intends to do. For a moment they locked gazes without words being exchanged again. They dwelled in silence before he nodded his head. "Let's get inside" He mutters and leads her inside the room with his arm wrapped around her slim waist. Kara who always kept a step behind them heaves a sigh before following inside. There will be a board meeting for the reopening of Fuentebella District Hospital. In just a month, the hospital will be in full operation. Everyone inside stands up at the entrance of the chairman and his wife. Though not all were happy to do it, they all complied with the sho
"Dr. Abby, you never changed" The old vendor has a wide smile on his lips, displaying a lot of missing teeth while holding Abigail's hand. "Even after you become a distinguished doctor, you still visit us here and eat our food" he continued."I love the food here, Grandpa. This is the best ramen house I've visited. Even when I'm abroad, I always miss your cooking" With a genuine smile she held the wrinkled hand holding her. "I've prepared your usual. Also, the extra broth you love" The old man pats her small hand while still wearing the tender smile on his face for her. "Will your boyfriend eat too, Miss Abby? Will he like our food here?" Grandpa anxiously glances at Lam who has been quiet since they arrived.Abby brought him to a small ramen store behind the mall after they could not make up their minds on what to eat. It's just a small space of fabricated plywood. It's unpainted. "He is my husband, Grandpa. He will surely love your food once he tastes it" Glancing at Lam, she wi
"Can we check inside?" Abby carefully asks Lam after she halts her steps outside one of the jewelry shops inside the mall.Lam turns to look inside through the glass wall. The shop is almost empty."Of course" he smiled and took a step to get inside pulling her with him.Wide arrays of expensive pieces of jewelry are displayed on the shelves and as they sparkle under the glimmer of lights, Abby's face brightens with pure delight. "Welcome to Symphony Diamonds" the staff greeted as they looked around which they politely responded. He watches her face as she excitedly scans the pieces of diamond-studded collections. A woman's kryptonite. Diamonds. "What do you plan to buy?" He asks while joining her in checking inside the clear glass shelf. "Can I?" Her head snapped in his direction. "Well, why not? They are beautiful" he shrugs. For several moments she just stared at him without saying anything, seeming to be gauging his mood. "Will you let me buy a ring for both of us?" She whi
It was a grueling wait for Abigail. The four days with a delay that she expected becomes more than a week.As her yearning for Lam grew stronger there were nights that she would cry herself to sleep. Like tonight, her eyes were still wet when she drifted to sleep.Like the rest of the nights, she dreamed of Lam making love to her. She missed him so much that she could almost feel his fervent kisses. She writhed in pleasure as she gave him access to her neck, enjoying the tiny nibbles on her skin. "Ahhn..." She moaned when a pair of hands snaked inside the oversized shirt she was wearing. It was exploring the nakedness beneath. It's kneading and touching her. Then her eyes snapped open. "Is this a dream?" She whispers while trying to check on herself. Something heavy is pinning her and there's indeed a hand cupping her twins. With eyes gaping wide, she turns to the aide where a hot breath is fanning her face. "Lam...." She whispered while tears brimmed her eyes. "I'm here, my m
