Rose Destiny "Reese" Lincoln, now 21 and self-sufficient since the age of 18, has no choice but to reconcile with her family to save her favorite children's orphanage from demolition. She must agree to her father's terms in order for him to assist her in repaying the orphanage's debt. She has no interest in their company, but she will readily agree if he asks her to be a part of it. But her father, a shrewd and cunning businessman, has other ideas. She must marry Joseph Coz Taylor, the moody and mysterious CEO of MT Corporal. Labor unions and CEOs of companies he took over dubbed him a "monster," but he couldn't care less. Reese didn't know Coz at all, but if marrying him can save her safe haven, it's worth losing her prized liberty. She did married him, but they had to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. She didn't mind if they had to conceal their marriage for the sake of the orphanage's safety. But not until secrets that have wrecked not only her life but also her heart are slowly revealed. Truly a demon was once an angel because the savior she thought was the villain after all.  Secrets upon secrets are revealed, unlocking the truths hidden beneath the lies. Will everything come together in the end? Or will they simply let their lives be ruined by their secrets?

Chapter 1

(Reese's POV)           

            With my laptop's bag hanging on my left shoulder, I walked towards the entrance of my favorite coffee shop—Autumn's Café. After I opened the door, I immediately smelled the coffee's aroma. The smell of it was just too addicting for me that I took a deep breath to savor it more. Pero hindi ito naging sapat para pagaanin ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

            I slightly shook my head and walked towards the counter. "Iced Vanilla Latté and  a slice of yema cake, please!" I gave the girl, Ava, a small smile before giving the payment. Madalas ako rito kaya alam ko na kung magkano ang babayaran ko at kung bakit hindi na niya tinanong kung anong pangalan ko. Whenever I feel like sulking up because of too much requirements, I'm here. Bukas sila 24/7 kaya maraming tumatambay dito. Malapit din ito sa Streisand University kaya karamihan sa mga costumers nila ay mga estudyante.

            I roamed my eyes inside the café  and saw that my favorite spot is vacant—the table on the farthest corner from the entrance. Tinungo ko ang lamesa at agad na inilabas  ang laptop ko nang maka-upo ako. I need to finish my part in our CE 113 laboratory work and past  it to our leader before midnight for further editing.

            "Hey!"

            Natigil ako sa pagtipa at nag-angat ng tingin sa nagsalita. I was too focused on what I'm doing that I didn't feel Ava was already beside me.

            "Thank you!" pasasalamat ko nang mailagay niya sa lamesa ang order ko. Akala ko ay aalis na siya at muling babalik sa pwesto niya pero naupo ito sa harapan ko kaya napataas ang kaliwang kilay ko. "Need something?"

            "Are you okay?"

            That caught me off guard. I don't remember when was the last time someone has asked me that. When everything's filled with chaos, pain and trouble, all I want to do is to escape and runaway from everything. Maybe that's the reason why whenever I see a person asking someone 'Are you okay?', I silently wish it was me who's being asked. Somehow, deep within my heart, that simple question feels like home.

            Home...

            I immediately averted my gaze to my laptop's screen upon thinking about it. "I'm fine!" I glanced at her before looking at the counter. "Go back to your work, Ava," utos ko at muling itinuon ang atensyon sa screen ng laptop ko. Kailangan ko talagang matapos ito ngayon dahil may Problem Set pa akong gagawin mamaya.

            She  took a deep breath before standing up. Hindi ako nag-angat ng tingin at tumango na lang nang magpaalam ito. It's not my intention to shoo her away like that because I know that she just wanted to comfort me.

            When I reached for my latté, bigla na lang sumagi sa isipan ko ang dahilan kung bakit mabigat ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. I gripped the glass tighter as my heart started beating fast.

            Angel's Paradise. My safe haven.

            The past years have been hard. I was alone and contemplating if I did the right decision of standing on my own feet upon reaching 18. But then I found Angel's Paradise, a children's orphanage, that's  like a streak of light in my grayscale life—the silver lining I was trying to find aside from the freedom I really wanted to achieve. But now, my safe haven is in danger because of the unpaid debt from the land owner.  We need a big amount in order to save it and the owner gave us only a month to pay for it.

            Saan naman kami kukuha ng malaking halaga sa loob ng isang buwan? Kahit isang taon pa yata ang ibigay na palugit ng naniningil, hindi pa rin namin mababayaran ang utang. I know that business is business  pero hindi man lang ba nila naisip ang magiging kalagayan ng mga bata kung mawawala ang tirahan nila? Kakayanin kaya ng mga konsensya nilang makita ang mga ito na palaboy-laboy na lang sa kung saan-saan? Maybe they can because all that's important to them is business, money and power.

            I let go of the glass, took a deep breath and was about to reach for the plate when my phone vibrated. I immediately picked it up when I saw my best friend, Charlotte Olivia Velasco, was calling.

            "Hey there, baby!" she happily exclaimed as soon as I accepted her call.

            I rolled my eyes because of her endearment. Sigurado akong kasama na naman niya ngayon ang kinakapatid niya at balakk na naman niya itong inisin. She really loves pissing him off and right now, she's using me to accomplish her plan.

            "Miss me?"  tukso niya. She's acting like she's talking to her boyfriend and I'm sure Justin's already glaring at her. Daig pa nila ang aso at pusa kung mag-iringan tapos dinadamay pa ako.

            "I'm not in the mood, Olive. Spare me with your craziness, please!"  Hindi ko itinago ang tamlay sa boses ko. Para saan pa? Alam naman niya kung anong problema ko dahil kasama ko siya no'ng ibinalita sa'kin ang problema.

            "The orphanage." It's a statement, not a question. "We still have a month, Reese. We'll surely figure out how to solve the problem," pagpapagaan niya sa nararamdaman ko pero hindi tumalab.

            "It's not just a simple problem and you know that, Olive!" giit ko. Buti na lang at nasa sulok ako at walang malapit sa pwesto ko kaya walang makakarinig sa usapan namin. "Buti pa ang Problem Set natin ay may formula kung paano resulbahin. But this one?" Umiling ako kahit na hindi niya nakikita. "Hindi ko alam kung saang lupalop ng mundo ko hahanapin ang solusyon."

            "You're thinking too much. May mahahanap tayong paraan. Tiwala lang."

            "If only I have the money," I whispered. I thought she didn't heard it because she became quiet. But what she said next really caught me off guard.

            "You have the money, Lincoln." She even emphasized my last name for me to understand what she's implying. "You can save the orphanage in just a snap," she added.

            "I...I d-don't—"

            "But I'm not telling you to do it, Rose Destiny," putol niya sa sasabihin ko.

            I bit the inside of my right cheek then released it immediately. I took a deep breath before saying goodbye to her. "I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye, Olive!" I ended the call immediately. It's disrespectful but I just don't want to hear another thing about what she said earlier.

            I closed my laptop and finished my food. Gusto ko pang magtagal dito dahil ang ganda ng ambiance pero uuwi na lang ako at do'n ko na lang tatapusin ang mga requirements ko.

            After finishing my food, I was about to put my phone inside my laptop's bag when  I saw that someone's calling.  It's our group leader, Gavin, so I immediately answered it. Maybe it's about our laboratory work.

            "Hey, CEO!" I greeted upon answering his call. We call him that because of our last laboratory project—Company Profile. "Anything I can do  for you?"

            "Na sa Autumn's ka ba?"

            "Oo pero paalis na ako. Bakit?"

            "Wait us there, cupcake!" My forehead wrinkled upon hearing Tiara's voice. Bakit sila magkasama? "Ten minutes top, Reese. Bye!" She ended the call before I can even say something. I just ended Olive's call earlier like that and now, Tiara did it to me. Karma's really a bitch, after all.

            I fished out my earphones from the laptop's bag and connect it to my phone before opening again my laptop. I have this hobby of listening to music while doing my requirements. May ilang nagtatanong kung hindi ba ako na-di-distract at lagi kong sinasabi na mas nakakapag-isip pa ako kung may naririnig akong soft music.

            True to what Tiara had said, dumating sila wala pang sampung minuto  ang nakakalipas. Akala ko ay sila lang ni Gavin pero kasama pa nila ang iba naming kasama sa grupo at dala-dala nila ang mga sarili nilang laptop. Tinanong ko si Ava kung pwede ba naming pagsamahin ang dalawang mesa para magkasya kaming anim at pumayag naman ito.

            "Final na ba itong company name natin?" Gavin asked who's sitting beside me. "Any suggestions?"

            "Final na 'yan," Kyla replied who's sitting in front of me without removing her attention on her laptop's screen. She's busy editing the company's history.

            "Modern Space Builders is good," sang-ayon ko. "I'll just edit the services offered then I'll send it to you."

            We stayed there for almost 3 hours before they decided to go home. We finished editing our CE 113 Laboratory Work 1 together with the plan for our upcoming Laboratory work 2 next week. We also finished  our CE 151 problem set with the help of each other, asking questions on the part we couldn't understand and sharing knowledge on how to do it  easier.

            We gathered our things then stood up and  brought back the table to its right place. They went out first because I went to the counter to bid goodbye to Ava before leaving the café.  I was about to push the door when someone from outside did it first. Dahil hindi ko nahawakan ang handle ng pinto at hahakbang sana ako, I know I'm outbalanced and about to fall down but thankfully, someone held my arm. Tinulungan niya akong tumayo ng maayos. I slowly looked up and about to say my gratitude but I almost gasped upon seeing his face.

            He was tall, maybe six feet or taller. I'm not sure because I'm already 5 feet and 5 inches but I'm still looking up at him. He got a well-built body but not overly muscular. Katamtaman lang ang kaputian niya na mas lalong nakadagdag sa appeal niya. He has foreign and matured features; hooded eyes that looked tantalizing with its long lashes, perfect structured nose, and pale pinkish lips. But his overall appeal was not mainly from his physical attributes. May karisma itong hindi pwedeng itanggi kaya kapag dumaan ito sa harapan mo, siguradong susundan mo ng tingin. He's not a student. I'm very sure of that because he's wearing coat and tie—typical look for a businessman.

            His forehead wrinkled as he looked down at me. I immediately felt that my cheeks are on fire so my head hung low because of embarrassment. I want to just disappear right now. I didn't mean to checked him out. It's just that it felt like there's this kind of energy that's pulling me to stare at him.

            "Thank you!" sabi ko na lang bago nagmamadaling umalis sa harapan niya. But I immediately stopped when he talked.

            "Hey!"

            Kahit hindi ako sigurado kung  ako nga ba talaga ang tinawag niya, lumingon pa rin ako. And there he was, still standing by the café's entrance and looking at my direction.  Lumingon ako sa likuran ko para tignan kung may iba pa bang tao pero wala akong nakita bukod sa mga taong duumadaan lang.

            "Your phone."

             I looked back at him, he's holding a phone and it looks like mine. Agad kong kinapa ang bulsa sa likuran ng pantalon ko at wala nga ang cellphone ko. I remember putting it there earlier before I helped Gavin carrying the table. How come he's holding  it?

            Damn, girl!...I mentally cursed myself when I remembered that I fished it out from my  pocket before opening the door. How did I not know that I let go of it when I was about to fall?

            You focused more on checking him out than checking yourself, that's why.

            I walked towards him, fast pace, and grabbed my phone without looking up at his face. "Thanks again, Mister!" I turned my back immediately. I didn't heard anything from him despite of my disrespectful behavior. I didn't even looked back to see if he's still standing there or he already went inside.

            Just say sorry to him the next time you see each other... I mentally told myself, hoping  we'll see each other again before I went inside Gavin's car.

(Reese's POV) I yanked my hair out of irritation. "Bwisit!" inis na bulalas ko at tinadyakan ang basurahang na sa gilid ko na buti na lang ay walang laman. Hindii pa ako nakuntento, pati ang dustpan na nasa tabi nito kanina ay idinamay ko.            "Kalma, Lincoln.  Masyado kang hot," pang-a-asar ni Olive habang inaayos ang mga tinadyakan ko.            "Kalma?" Natawa ako ng pagak. "How could I freaking calm down after talking to that inconsiderate puppet of a businessman?!" Itinuro ko pa kung nasaan ang tinutukoy ko.            Sabado ngayon kaya walang kaming klase. Wala rin naman akong gagawing requirements kaya kaninang tumawag si Sister Dolores at sinabing pumunta kami rito, agad kaming pumunta ni Olive. Agad kumulo ang dugo ko nang makita ko kung

(Reese's POV) "W-What?" I asked after I recovered from  the shock because of what he said. "Marry someone for you? Really?" I laughed with no humor at all. Marrying someone for him doesn't even make sense. Is this old man out of his mind?            "You know that I don't know how to joke when it come to business, Reese," he seriously countered.            "Why should I marry someone for you?" I asked even though I already knew what he would answer. "Because that's irrational, you know?"            "Irrational but it can solve your problem." He had this triumphant grin that made me nervous and unable to sit still. "Yes or no, Rose Destiny Lincoln."            I rolled my eyes, not caring if he

(Reese's POV)   NAKAKUNOT ang noo ko habang sinasagutan ang practice problems na ibinigay kanina ng teacher namin sa  CE 151. Nakinig naman ako ng maayos kanina att na-gets ko naman ang gagawin  pero hindi ako makapag-focus dahil wala dito ang isip ko. Hanggang ngayon, kahit kahapon pa nangyari, hindi pa rin maproseso ng utak ko ang mga nalaman ko.             "Matagal pa ang mahal na araw pero biyernes santo na 'yang mukha mo."             Nag-angat ako ng ulo at tinignan ng matalim si Olive. She's in front of me drinking her favorite drink. "Sapakin kaya kita?" walang kangiti-ngiting tanong ko.             Wala ako sa mood makipagbiruan ngayon.  Lalo na at hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa alam kung  binayaran na ang utang ng orphanage, Ngayon

(Reese's POV)             SATURDAY. The day to meet my future husband like my father had told me. I received a text message from his secretary last night, telling me that I should be there before 8 PM because my future husband hates wasting his time. As if namang siya lang ang nasasayang ang oras. Pati rin naman ako ay nasasayang ang oras dahil kung sinabi na nila sa'kin ang susunod na mangyayari, hindi na sana ako nag-a-abalang maging presentable ngayon. Hindi ko nga maintindihan  si Daddy kung bakit niya pinasabi na dapat maging presentable ako.             I'm not the kind of girl who loves wearing dresses and heels. I'm a jeans-and-shirts-kind of girl. Minsan nga ay pinagkakamalan akong tomboy dahil sa ayos ko pero pakialam nila? The most important thing for me when it comes to what I wear is comfortability.

(Reese's POV)             I was silently chewing my food. I remained looking down at my plate because I felt suffocated. I could barely swallow the food because of his presence. The intimidating aura from him is so much.            Kagat ang ibabang labi ng hiwain ko ang steak dahil hindi ko maiwasang alalahanin ang nangyari bago kami nagpunta dito. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang magkaharap kami ngayon habang kumakain. Every time I try to open up the reason why I'm here, he's just raising his eyebrows at me. Wala akong ibang magawa kung hindi yumuko na lang at tumahimik.            "Have dinner with me, future wife."            Kulang tala

(Reese's POV)               THE wind blew gently and danced with my hair. Squinting my eyes against the harsh rays of sunlight, I ran faster towards Tiara who's holding an umbrella. We are here at the soccer field to get Gavin's car key. Na sa loob kasi ng kotse niya ang laptop niya na kailangan namin ngayon dahil itutuloy namin ang Lab Work namin. Gavin's part of our college's soccer team since freshman year and they're having a practice now for the upcoming University Games.             "Anong sabi ni CEO?" Tiara asked when I got near her.             Ngumisi ako. "Mahal ka pa rin daw." Umismid ito kaya natawa ako. "Comeback na kasi," pang-a-asar ko pa.             "I love you but someti

(Reese's POV)   I'm someone who wouldn't mind spending all day alone. Mas gusto ko pang magkulong na lang sa kwarto kaysa gumala sa labas. Mas gusto kong kasama ang mga libro ko kaysa makihalubilo sa mga taong mabait lang  kapag nakaharap ka pero sanga-sanga ang sungay kapag nakatalikod ka na. I heaved a sigh and put down the fork on my plate. I felt the one in front of me looked at me. I looked at him and gave him a glare. But him being the annoying creature, he just smirked at me before leaning his back on his chair. "Ang yaman-yaman mo pero nagtitipid ka sa pagkain," komento ko. "Mabubusog ka ba sa mga ito?" Iminuhestra ko ang mga pagkain sa harapan namin. It's expensive but it's so small. Hindi ako mabubusog sa mga ito. Ilang kilo ng karne na ba  ang mabibili? Aabot na siguro sa tatlo. "You should had  told me earlier—" "Nagtanong ka ba kung saan ko gustong kumain?"panunumbat ko

(Reese's POV) Ang tunog ng alarm clock ko sa side table ang nagpagising sa akin. Kaagad ko itong inabot at pinatahimik. Istorbo talaga sa tulog kahit kailan. Nag-unat ako ng katawan bago bagsak ang dalawang balikat na bumaba ng kama. Inayos ko ang manggas ng suot kong oversized shirt habang naglalakad patungo sa banyo para gawin ang morning routine ko.Nagpupunas ako ng mukha gamit ang towel ko nang palabas ako ng banyo. Linggo ngayon at kahit gusto kong magsimba, hindi na p'wede dahil tapos na ang misa. Nakalimutan kong agahan  ang alarm ko kagabi dahil na rin sa inis.Bigla na lang bumalik ang inis sa kattawan ko. Parang gusto kong manampal, manabunot at manuntok dahil sa inis. Basta parang gusto kong manakit. Nangangati ang mga palad ko. Kapag nakita ko talaga ang lalaking 'yon, mapagbubuhatan ko siya  ng kamay. Wala akong pakialam kung mayaman at makapangyarihan siya."What? I'm asking you, wife."

(Reese's POV)   "Reese!" I halted on my steps and looked where the voice came from. I had already an idea who called me based from the gentle voice. Kahit medyo may kalakasan ang boses niya kanina ay halata pa rin ang pagiging malambot nito. And I was right because descending from the stair was none other than Akxianne Vielle Dellacroce. I already knew her name because I searched it. She's a graduating student taking up Business Management course. She's close to Coz because they're parents are best friends. Ang nakapagtataka lang, bakit siya narito sa CAS? Ang layo ng CBEA mula dito. Umalis ako sa entrance ng lobby dahil marami ang dumadaan at nakaharang ako. I gave her a smile the moment she's already in front of me. Just like the first time I met her, she also had this sweet smile. "Hey there, Rosie!" masiglang bati niya. Tumaas ang kaliwang kilay  ko dahil sa itinawag niya sa'kin. She gave me an a
