"No! That's not true!" he roared, his voice echoing in the sudden silence.

"Ouch! Hey, what the hell? Let go of me!" I yelped, stumbling backward as he released my shoulders.

"That hurt, you know!" I snapped, finally losing my cool. My neck was throbbing from his violent shaking, and my shoulders ached from the force of his grip. Ugh, men. He gets drunk and turns into a toddler.

He fell silent, his gaze fixed on me, his expression a confusing mix of anger and vulnerability. Then, without warnin

  • MY SECRETARY HATES ME? [ ENGLISH VER. ]    EPILOGUE

    FRANCIS LOCAN’S POINT OF VIEWIt’s been a year, hasn’t it?So much has happened that it’s almost been too much to bear. It’s been three months since Akeshia went abroad. She chose to distance herself from us—especially from Kuya. My heart aches for both of them, even more so when we found out she’s carrying someone else’s child. That’s the secret she’d been hiding from us. Hard to accept, but… maybe it’s for the best.I hope.“Good morning, L,” my cousin greeted me. I ignored him.“I heard you still haven’t hired a new secretary. But based on what I saw during the interviews, they’re all qualified,” he commented.“Of course they’re not. There are qualifications I need that they just don’t have.”“Is it really about qualifications… or is it that no one can replace your old secretary?”“Shut up, Carl. You know too much already. Anyway, I’m heading home today, so I’ll let you handle the applicants.” I stood and grabbed my coat.“Then I’ll be in charge.”“Yeah, right. You take care of the

    Two Weeks LaterTwo weeks had passed since that day—an unforgettable day that would haunt me forever. The wounds on my body still throbbed, but today, what we learned cut even deeper.I didn’t know how to comfort the two siblings. I knew they were hurting—deeply—after what Ken had revealed earlier that afternoon.---[FLASHBACK]“It’s you. Am I right?”“What are you talking about, Ken?” Sir Asher stepped in, blocking Ken as he tried to approach Ms. Akeshia.“Just admit it, Akeshia, before everyone finds out,” Ken pressed on, his eyes flashing with anger he tried so hard to hide.“What is this, Ken? What’s going on?” Francis asked calmly, but Ken ignored him.“Why don’t you tell everyone what your role is in all this?”“What the hell are you doing to my wife, Ken? Don’t you dare touch her!” Sir Asher shoved Ken violently, but it didn’t faze him. I noticed how unusually quiet Ms. Akeshia was.“Ken, what are you even talking about?” Rachelle demanded.“Fine. I’ll speak since you’re too c

    I woke up in an unfamiliar place. I instinctively covered my nose as the sharp smell of cigarette smoke hit me.“Good morning.”I lifted my gaze to see Mr. Jim standing in front of me, calmly taking a drag from his cigarette. He was leaning against the sofa, completely at ease. I tried to stand up—to get away—but my body suddenly gave way. I crashed hard onto the cold concrete floor. Only then did I feel it—the pain and tightness of my hands and feet bound behind my back.“Let me go!” I screamed.He only laughed and shook his head.“Tsk. Tsk. How pitiful. You know, if you had just believed me back then and stayed out of our family’s problems, you wouldn’t be here now. But you’re just as stubborn as your mother—just like her!”He angrily flicked his cigarette away and strode toward me, grabbing my face and forcing me to look up at him.“Do you know how my blood boils every time I see that face of yours?” he snarled. “Because it reminds me of how your mother betrayed me.”He shoved my f

    I went with them to the police station, completely unprepared for the sharp slap that greeted me.It was hot. It burned. It hurt.Tears welled in my eyes as I slowly looked up at Rachelle, whose gaze was blazing with fury as she stared down at me.“How dare you?” she shouted. “How could you do this to your own boss? You’re paid well enough, aren’t you? So why would you still steal from the company?”Every pair of eyes in the room was on me—especially Ken’s, Sir Asher’s, Carl’s, Ms. Akeshia’s… and his.Francis.“Answer me!”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, but before I could finish, a thick folder slammed into my face.Papers scattered across the floor.“These!” she yelled. “These are the proofs of what you’ve done!”My hands trembled as I bent down and picked one up. The moment I read it, my knees nearly gave out.It was a bank receipt—showing a massive amount of money transferred into my account.I grabbed another paper.Photographs.Pictures of me entering Francis’s

    I ignored the whispers for the rest of the day. I didn’t know what was happening around me, but wherever I went, I could feel eyes following me—watching, judging.I was about to leave the company when I spotted Gael locked in a hair-pulling fight with someone. I rushed over immediately and helped pull her away from her opponent.“Gael, let go of her!” I tried to pry her fingers from the woman’s hair, her grip tight with rage.“You bitch! Take it back! You’re just making up stories!” Gael shouted as I dragged her farther away.“What do you mean, making things up? It’s true! You saw the pictures, didn’t you?” the woman screamed back. Her gaze shifted to me. “That cousin of yours—so shameless, flirting with the owner of the company of all people? The nerve of you!”I froze.“You really are insane! Come here!” Gael lunged forward again.“You’re the insane one for defending your gold-digger cousin!”“Are you really not going to stop?!”“No! Because it’s true! Just admit it—your cousin’s a

    It was already one in the afternoon when I glanced at the time on my phone. I turned it off and went back to what I was doing when I suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around me from behind. I didn’t flinch. I already knew who it was. Just from the warmth of his breath brushing my shoulder, I recognized him instantly.“Get off,” I muttered, but he only groaned in response, clearly refusing to do as I said.“What if someone walks in? Didn’t I already tell you—”“Fine, fine.” He let go at last and slowly—carefully, still limping—made his way back to the bed.We were already in Manila, in a new hospital. He’d been staying there for almost a week now, but the doctors still wouldn’t allow him to leave. They said he needed to be observed longer. And yet there he was, wandering around like nothing had happened, even after being warned countless times not to move so much.“I’m hungry,” he complained, sounding like a sulky child.I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips, thoug
