Chapter 3

ADDIE

Right after the one night stand happened at the bar, I went home early and suddenly left him a note and 100 pesos. That's all I have to offer, except the virginity I have.

When I was in room maids packing all my belongings para umalis sa Manor, I accidentally overheard Fiona and Olivia conversation about marrying a richest man in the whole city, Zake Craige owner of Artemin Corporation—and I heard that she's freaking in love with these men and even came to the point to marry him soon and the engagement is within two months so I came with a brilliant idea all my life Olivia you stole everything from me, my father's love, my manor which mark my late mother memory, and soon my inheritance, even before you always win, but this time I will win

Your so called future husband Will be mine, and when that happen I will slap you a fucking truth that I'm not a loser but it's you, I'll make you beg at me, kneel, but I won't show mercy.

Not this time

Just as I was slipping out of the manor, I brushed against a vase. It crashed to the floor, the sudden noise sending a jolt of surprise through the room.

“Addie” Fiona said

“What the hell are you doing here?”

“Well! I guess she have nowhere to go so that she came back”

“What a pathetic loser, and I'm pretty sure you heard everything we talked about”

“And now you're 100 % jealous, because aside from stealing what was meant to you, I'm marrying the hottest man in Manila”. Olivia replied.

Well Olivia is confident enough about marrying him, but what she doesn't know the disaster is yet to come to ruin her

“ I'm not here to make a scene guys, I came to pick my stuff and leave”. I replied

“Daughter” my father said, standing in stairs,

Di ko alam kung sinong anak ang tinawag niya “Me or her”

“Dad” Olivia replied

of course it's Olivia why would I think that my father will call me daughter, I wasn't his daughter, and he never treated me like one, I looked up over the ceiling trying to hold my tears

“Your home, Addie, I'm glad your back”

Glad I’m back? Or perhaps you’re just excited to see me reduced to a maid in my own home. I kept those thoughts to myself, though. Instead, I looked him in the eye and said

‘'Lower your expectations. I’m not here to return I’m only here to pack my things and move far away from you, Mr. Edward Villareal” My voice was icy, carrying a weight that filled the room.”

“You're always so ungrateful, Addie. You’ve even stooped to calling your own father by his full name," Fiona snapped. She lunged to slap me, but I was faster. I caught her wrist mid-air, gripping it so tightly she couldn't move.

"A slap, Fiona? Is that all you’ve got? How original," I said, my brows knitting together in disdain.

I noticed her free hand reaching for a glass of wine, intending to splash it in my face. I immediately lunged for her other arm, pinning it down. She tried to twist out of my grip, but she was no match for my strength.

“Let my mom go”. Olivia yelled

“stay in your place Olivia or else…..” I paused

“Else what?” she asks aggressively

“please Addie! stop this” My dad pleading

I looked at Fiona again, my lips curling into a devious smile.

"Fiona, I know you’re trying to splash that wine on me, but it’s so scripted. I’ve seen this movie a thousand times. Let me teach you something new." I snatched the glass from her hand and took a large gulp.

I didn't swallow instead, I swished it around my mouth for thirty seconds like mouthwash before spitting it directly into her face.

"Now that’s new. Surprising, isn't it?" I teased.

It was hilarious to watch her reaction.

"Gross! You’ll pay for this, Addie!" she shrieked, scrambling toward the bathroom.

“I can't believe you overstepped Addie, you lack manners”. dad said, but I just rolled my eyes

I let out a soft, dry laugh as I looked at Edward.

"You wanted a maid? Hire one. You wanted a daughter? You should have tried being a father." I adjusted my bag on my shoulder, looking him up and down one last time.

"Clean up your own mess for once. I'm done playing my part in this script."

I walked out, the sound of my heels clicking against the marble floor the last thing they would ever hear of me.

I looked around my new rental. It was small and cheap, but it was enough for now since my funds were tight. Suddenly, I froze. Wait—I almost forgot.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the credit

card I’d swiped from Olivia’s bag during our shouting match. I stared at the sleek, black card in my hand. My father really must adore her if he gave her unlimited access to the family fortune.

But I wasn't about to let her enjoy my inheritance.

Before she could even report it missing, I drained the accounts. Ten million dollars in cash—now safely deposited into my own private account

I’m officially back in the game. I pulled my laptop from my luggage and typed a name into the search bar ZAKE CRAIGE.

My jaw dropped as I scrolled through the endless posts and trending hashtags from his obsessed fans.

#Zakethebillionaire

#the hottest man in the city

I even look at Olivia post, about Zake a

#TRUELOVE

#FUTURECRAIGE

I let out a chuckle, wow the audacity of her, well! like a mother like a daughter because birds with the same feather flock together.

Earlier that morning when I Applied a Job one of a Team Leader approach me, I was supposed to apply as an Architect but they promoted into a secretary

“So you must be Adeline Villarreal”.

“Yes” half answer, half question

“You're promoted into the secretary”

“Wait? what? is this seriousl?” I asks confusedly

“Yeah and congratulations and I hope you stayed longer, kasi walang nagtatagal na secretary sa kanya, maybe 5 or 7 days lang tinagal”.

“Of course tatagal ako” I replied flatly, because my goal is to make Zake withdraw from marriage or something more to hurt Olivia—because if I hurt Olivia means hurting Fiona too.

“Rules! you must obey” the team leader said

-Don't make the boss upset

- good hearing is must, he doesn't repeat his order

- don't ever try to seduce him, his so called future wife are witch,

“you don't like witch are you?” he asks

“I'm not afraid at witch” I replied

At Hinatid na Ako sa office in Zake Craige using the VIP elevator, it works faster than the flash in the movie. It's about 20 seconds after we arrived at the 49th floor in the building… that was so crazy that I almost fainted and vomited.

“That's the office I will leave you here”.

I knock the door, once, twice, thrice, but no one answered me, I punch it hardly so that anyone inside would notice that someone standing waiting at the doorway, and suddenly it swung open slowly

“Is he? Mr. Zake Craige, his back looked like someone I met, very masculine, from the sideview I see his Jaw clenching damn, this man is so familiar”.

“Mr. Zake” I said, as I look my eyes down

There was a paused.. a long enough,.. he freezes his mouth parted but no one words came out, I froze too he looks a like with a man I asks to fuck me,

I turn my back at him my hands turn coldly and trembled

Damn he's Zake Craige, it's such an insult I give him 100 pesos, I muttered to myself.

I take a deep breath to calm down Addie, probably he won't recognize you.

“So you're my new secretary” He said

I turned to face him, I moved forward, my heels clicking over the marble floors and handed him my resume, our hands touched but my body betrayed, I felt the electric shock, God? Am I gonna die?.

I promise to myself that I won't meet him, but the Destiny making way for us to meet.

“You're hired”. he said

He asked for a black coffee with a splash of cream, but I served him the exact opposite. I needed to be a disruption—someone he couldn't just ignore.

I pulled a small notebook from my bag and glanced at my list.

5 RULES TO SEDUCING A MAN AND MAKING HIM OBSESSED

Rule One: Leverage your look. Show just enough cleavage to distract him and make him lose his train of thought.

and that's what I did, and I see in his eyes that his cock twisting now, well that's just a guess, maybe I'm right or wrong, but I hope it worked.

Before he leaves the office he reminded me to be early tomorrow.

“We have meetings tomorrow, I want you earlier and clean my office before I arrive” he said coldly, and walked outside as if he wanted to masturbate, after seeing my cleavage.

But he's too bossy he want me to clean his office, I'm not a Fucking Janitor, but somehow good opportunity to make him thirsty at me.

I supposed to like him when we fucked up, but he's my stepsister fiance, and I need him for my game, I'm sorry in advance Mr. Billionaire.
