AS THE SUN slowly sets and darkness covers the sky, the tall buildings in the center of the district light up one by one. But on the highest floor of the Del Carmen Enterprises tower, only the light coming from the large glass window and the cold glow of a laptop screen brighten the office.

Henry is sitting in his swivel chair, leaning back while his right hand keeps clicking his pen. His eyes, showing no trace of emotion are focused on the documents of a billion-peso contract that he needs to

    Solana did not answer his question and she didn't care at all about whatever Henry might think. The only thing that mattered was her child. She quickly shoved her things into her bag without organizing them, turned around immediately and ran toward the office door."Solana, wait!" Henry called out, but she kept going without looking back. Henry had no choice but to just watch her leave in a complete panic.As soon as she arrived home, she parked her car on the side of the road and ran through the open gate."Ma'am Solana! Ma'am!"The nanny rushed to meet her, crying heavily and shaking from extreme fear and worry. She was holding her apron while desperately trying to explain."I only left for a moment to get a snack from the kitchen... I didn't notice that Princess got out of the gate! I searched the entire street and the next block, but I couldn't find her! I'm so sorry, Ma'am. Please don't send me to jail!" she begged through her sobs."Where are the other two?" Solana asked immedia

    The whole floor where the engineering and architectural teams stayed was quiet. There was no trace of noise except for the soft sound of keyboards and the gentle voice of the HR Manager, Katrina, as she showed Solana around the large office."So, Solana, just like Sir Rafael briefed you, you will serve as the lead structural engineer for this whole project," Katrina explained with a smile as they walked."I will introduce you first to the whole junior team and the resident architects before you go straight to the executive suite.""Thank you very much, Ms. Katrina," Solana answered. She forced her voice to be steady, even though with every step, it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her chest. She held her leather folder tightly. Katrina stood in the middle of the open-plan office and clapped two times to get everyone's attention."Good morning, everyone! Attention please," the HR Manager said."I want to introduce to you our new lead structural engineer for the Manila Coastal In

    I calmly told Rafael to use the restroom before we left the restaurant. I needed a few minutes away from them, a few minutes to breathe and fix myself up after the confusing tension at the table. After using the restroom, I retouched my makeup and adjusted my clothes. When I made sure I looked presentable, I went out.But the moment I turned the doorknob and stepped out of the bathroom, a strong arm suddenly grabbed my arm.I gasped in surprise, but before I could even speak, he quickly pulled me to the side and leaned me against an empty corner next to the wall, far from the view of the people and the dining area.He pressed his body against mine, making the hair on my skin stand up from the familiar feeling of Henry’s skin.“What the! Let me go, who are you, bastard?!”His jaw tightened, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger. I wasn't able to finish what I was going to say because he held me tightly by the waist and brought his face so close to mine that I almost went cross-ey

    THE NEXT DAY, Henry entered the executive boardroom for a very important partnership meeting. His company was set to join forces with Vandel Construction and Engineering Firm for a multi-billion infrastructure project in Luzon.Henry stood at the end of the long glass conference table, formally and emotionlessly adjusting his cufflinks while his executive secretary and board members surrounded him. His aura was cold, just as everyone was used to.The large boardroom door opened, and the CEO of Vandel Group walked in—Rafael Vandel, his former college classmate from Ateneo who now had his own successful business."Henry! It’s good to see you again, man," Rafael greeted cheerfully as he walked quickly toward him and shook his hand. Rafael was with a woman, but she stayed behind him, so Henry didn't notice her much and didn't really care."It’s been five years. The whole country has really been looking up to you.""Rafael," Henry responded coldly but formally, giving a short nod. "Glad to

    AS THE SUN slowly sets and darkness covers the sky, the tall buildings in the center of the district light up one by one. But on the highest floor of the Del Carmen Enterprises tower, only the light coming from the large glass window and the cold glow of a laptop screen brighten the office.Henry is sitting in his swivel chair, leaning back while his right hand keeps clicking his pen. His eyes, showing no trace of emotion are focused on the documents of a billion-peso contract that he needs to sign before the night ends.Five long years have passed since his father died and he officially took over the entire Del Carmen assets.

He was known as a merciless man towa

    The days passed like a long dream from which I could not wake up. Even until now, I am still staring blankly into space. After Freddie's cremation and quick burial, I was left with a deafening kind of silence—a silence that suffocates my system every single second. I often sit by the window of my room, staring at the vast garden that has been completely neglected since the housemaids all left. I long for Freddie. I miss his voice, his advice, and the protection he gave me even in the final moments of his life. He was the only one who knew my secret. But despite mourning my elderly husband, there is a part of my heart that cannot help but rebel. My confused heart, with every beat, screams nothing but Henry’s name.I want so badly to see him. I want to feel his presence, even if his eyes are cold or his words are full of insults and sarcasm. Maybe this is also due to my pregnancy, this intense longing for the father of the child I am carrying. These past few days have been incredibly di

    The sunlight streaming through the large windows of the dining hall failed to provide any warmth to me. Instead, I seemed to feel even colder as I sat across the long table. At the end of the table sat Freddie in his wheelchair. His skin was as pale as paper, and every breath was accompanied by a f

    I peered down and was shocked by the obscenity unfolding between the two. Under the cold moonlight filtering through the window, I saw a sight I never expected. A naked man was on top of Ana. His broad back showed hard muscles rippling with every violent thrust. Despite the darkness, I knew every li

He could feel the intense tension in his jaw. Most of all, he felt a sharp ache in his gr

    The surroundings of the mansion were already cloaked in darkness, with only the large bulbs hanging in every corner of the garden providing a sliver of light. I carried a bowl of food for the dog, Bruno. Despite being exhausted from a full day of tending to Don Freddie, I never forgot to feed my hus
