Masuk[The Third Move]Paola’s POV~~~“I never thought someone else could corner us faster than Gabriel ever could.”The first words I mutter to myself are when the office door clicks open behind us.I glance at Gabriel. His jaw is tight. His hand brushes against mine—almost unconsciously—but it’s enough to anchor me for a moment.We freeze.Because the figure stepping into the lobby isn’t part of any routine board check or assistant shuffle.It’s her.Catherine Alcantara—the niece I never liked and wh
[The Move They Didn’t Warn Us About]Paola’s POV“They’ve been waiting for us to make a mistake—and I almost did.”The words hit me before my coffee even cools.I sit at my temporary apartment table, staring at my laptop, fingers hovering over the keyboard like I’m about to commit a crime.An email popped in last night, no sender name, no signature—just a PDF attachment.The headline alone made my chest constrict: Confidential: Alcantara Trust Clause Execution Plan.I didn’t open it immediately. I paced the room instead, feeling
[The Edge of Everything]Paola’s POV“He doesn’t know how close I’ve been to leaving—and maybe that’s exactly why I stayed.”The thought hits me the moment I wake up.I lie still, staring at the ceiling of my temporary apartment.No one else here.No calls.No footsteps echoing through the hall.Just silence.And that silence—heavy, tangible—feels different than before.It’s not comforting.
[The Things I Didn’t Want to Remember]Paola’s POV“If my past is where he thinks I’ll break… then he doesn’t understand why I survived it.”The message stays in my head long after the screen goes dark.Check your past before you protect your future.It’s not just a threat.Its direction.And I hate that it works.Because now I’m thinking about things I buried on purpose.Not forgotten.Just… controlled.
[The Cost of Being Unafraid]Paola’s POV“The moment I stopped being afraid of losing him… I started becoming dangerous.”It doesn’t feel like freedom.It feels like clarity.The kind that strips everything down until there’s nothing left to hide behind.No excuses.No emotional safety nets.No illusions about what love is supposed to protect.I’m standing in front of the mirror when the thought settles fully.Not dramatic.
[The Version of Me He Created]Paola’s POV“I used to think control was his weapon. I didn’t realize he was teaching me how to use it.”The realization doesn’t feel like victory.It feels like something sharper.Something quieter.Because the more I understand what Gabriel did—what Adrian is doing—what this entire situation has turned into—The more I see it clearly.I didn’t just survive it.
[Ang Parasitiko sa Puso Ko]Ang init ng katawan ni Kristoff ang tanging bagay na nagpapanatili sa katinuan ni Paola. Sa loob ng abandonadong kubo, habang ang ulan ay parang walang balak tumigil sa paghampas sa bubong, ang bawat hininga nila ay naghahalo—puno ng pangungulila, takot, at isang uri ng
Chapter 209 Continuation..."Hindi ito panaginip, Paola," sabi ni Kristoff, hinaplos ang buhok ng dalaga. "Kahit anong mangyari, hinding-hindi ka na babalik doon. Mas pipiliin kong mamatay rito kasama niyo kaysa mabuhay nang wala kayo."Tumingin si Paola kay Sebastian. "At ikaw? Ano ang nararamdama
[Ang Alab sa Guho]Ang katahimikan sa ilalim ng bangin ay kasing bigat ng kamatayan. Ang tanging naririnig ay ang mahinang pagputok ng mga kable ng kuryente mula sa wasak na SUV at ang amoy ng nagbabagang gasolina na humahalo sa sariwang amoy ng mga pino at tuyong dahon. Ang sasakyan ay nakabaligta
Chapter 207 Continuation...Isang matagal na katahimikan ang namayani. Ang isipan ni Kristoff ay naglalaban—ang lohika ng isang mafia boss at ang desperasyon ng isang lalaking nagmamahal."Kung totoo 'yan..." bulong ni Kristoff. "Kailangan nating gumawa ng paraan. Bukas, may malaking pulong ang pam
