MasukChapter 62“Talaga bang kailangan na nating gawin ito, Hudson? Pakiramdam ko ay tuluyan nang magbabago ang buhay namin simula ngayong gabi.""It will change, love, but for the better," Hudson promised smoothly, stepping closer to her until their breath mingled in the quiet hallway. "The opposition is getting desperate. They will try to find your old house to harass you. Moving you inside my perimeter is the only way I can sleep peacefully at night while handling the state affairs."Tumango si Selene, tinatanggap ang katotohanan na wala ng balikan ang daan na kanyang nilalakaran. Kasama si Hudson, ang kanyang simpleng buhay bilang isang maid ay ganap ng natapos, at ang isang mas malaki at mas mapanganib na mundo ang naghihintay sa kanila sa loob ng palasyo.The private lift doors opened with a soft chime, and as they stepped inside, Selene looked at the man holding her daughter, knowing that despite the political storm outside, she was exactly where she belonged.“P-Paano pumayag si Na
Chapter 61 "Sir, Ma'am, pakiusap na manatili kayo rito sa sulok na ito. Hindi kayo pwedeng bumaba kasabay ng karamihan." "Anong ibig mong sabihin, Sir na hindi kami pwedeng umalis? Hindi niyo kami pwedeng i-detain dito." Dante hissed, his voice waa a dangerous growl as he stepped protectively in front of Selene and the terrified Elara. Si Dwight ay nakatingin na parang may kakayahan na labanan ang mga taong harap nila. "Ako ay kasama sa Presidential Security Group, driver bodyguard ako. Paraanin niyo kami." "Orders from the top," ang mariing sagot ng sundalo, habang ang iba pang mga guwardiya ay tuluyang ibinababa ang huling bakal na harang sa tapat ng escalator, dahilan para tuluyang maisara ang buong ikatlong palapag, habang sila lamang ang naiwan sa loob. Napaiyak na si Elara sa takot, habang si Selene ay napasandal sa pader, hindi malaman kung anong dahilan kung bakit sila pinaiwan at isinara ang buong lugar sa isang napakalaking lugar na ganito. Hindi kaya at pakana na naman
Chapter 60Selene remained standing by the window, her fingers lightly touching the cold glass as she watched the presidential convoy speed away toward the situation rooom. Ang bigat ng kanyang mga iniisip ay tila mas lalong lumala dahil sa biglaang krisis na kinakaharap ng bansa. In the middle of her deep anxiety, the heavy doors of the dining room opened once again.Leticia walked back into the room, her expression no longer as tense as it was when she was with the military officials.“Parang aatakihin na ako, Ate Letty kapag nakikita kita,” sabi niya sa babae na nakuha pang mangiti at umiling.“You'll get used to this.”Lumapit ito kay Selene at hinawakan ang balikat niya na para bang paraan para magbigay ng kaunting lakas sa kanya."Selene, I just came back to check on you.”Isang pilit na ngiti ang sumilay sa kanyang mga labi. "Salamat, Ate Letty. Ayos lang ako. Sanay naman akong maghintay, pero hindi ko lang mapigilang mag-alala.”"You don't have to worry about that, Hudson is
Chapter 59 Hindi maalis ni Selene ang kanyang tingin kay Hudson habang unti-unting lumalamig ang kanyang mga kamay. Ang tibok ng puso niya ay naging mabilis at parang abot lalamunan lang ang kanyang paghinga. Hudson remained perfectly still, his eyes holding hers with an intense gaze that always made her feel small yet completely seen. Gusto niyang magsalita, pero ang mga salita ay parang natuyo sa kanyang lalamunan dahil sa sobrang gulat. Ang alok nito ay hindi lang isang simples kasal, it meant war to his own father not just with his enemies. "H-Hudson, anong sinasabi mo?" Selene finally whispered, her voice barely audible in the quiet dining room. "Nasisiraan ka na ba talaga ng bait? Hindi mo pwedeng gawin 'yan." Hudson sighed softly, a faint, patient smile touching his lips as he saw the pure panic in her eyes. He reached out again with slow movements before gently grasping her trembling shoulders, "Look at me, Selene. I am completely sane. In fact, this is the most logical de
Chapter 58 Hudson sat at the head of the table, completely relaxed in a comfortable gray sweater and dark trousers. The sharp, unyielding president who had dominated a grand ballroom the night before was nowhere to be seen. Nasa tabi niya si Selene, looking refreshed and peaceful in a simple pastel sundress. Her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail. A soft, genuine smile lit up her face as she watched Hudson arrange a plate of pancakes with playful seriousness. Sa harap nila ay ang isang tablet. The screen showed a live, high-definition video feed of Selene’s small house. Her two children were sitting at their own wooden table. Ang saya ng mga ito na tingnan at panoorin habang kumakain din. "Papa President, look at my drawing!" the youngest boy shouted, proudly holding up a piece of bond paper covered in colorful crayon scribbles, "It is a big tank! Sabi ni lolo, ganyan daw po ang mga sasakyan ng mga sundalo mo!" Hudson swallowed a bite of his bacon and leaned closer t
Chapter 57Ang itim na presidential convoy ay dumiretso sa pribadong bahagi ng estate imbes na dumaan sa pangunahing gate. Nang tuluyang huminto ang sasakyan, hindi na hinintay ni Hudson ang kanyang mga bodyguard. Agad siyang bumaba at tinanggal ang bow tie sa kanyang leeg bago ito isinilid sa bulsa ng kanyang suit.He walked briskly down the quiet, carpeted corridors of the residence. The busy briefing rooms and crowded lounges from earlier were now empty and still. He nodded briefly to the two Presidential Security Group officers stationed at the final checkpoint before entering his private quarters. The doors closed behind him with a soft click, shutting out the rest of the demanding world.Hindi dumitetso si Hudson sa sarili niyang master suite. Sa halip, dumiretso siya sa maikling pasilyo papunta sa silid ni Selene. Marahan siyang kumatok sa pinto nito.The door opened almost immediately. Selene stood there, wearing a simple, soft cotton nightgown. Ang mahaba nitong buhok ay naka
