LOGIN"Chef..." she softly uttered when their eyes met."She isn't preying on anyone. Lia is innocent and I can prove that. It isn't her fault that your boyfriends approach her. Do you want this to reach the higher-ups? That you're bullying an innocent person? I've been observing you girls and I know your names. How about a call from the CEO?"They all swallowed hard and looked away. They were caught in the act."The least you could do is make up for it with a better attitude, but you can't even do that." And that hit them hard, an insult from a chef."I'm sorry, Chef—""You shouldn't be apologizing to me. It should be Lia," Titus firmly told the women. "If this happens again, I won't think twice about reporting this to the management."That made them gulp hard."I'm sorry, Lia." They apologized to her all at once."Is that how you apologize? I couldn't feel the sincerity in your tone—""It’s fine, Chef. It's okay now." She stopped the man and gave a faint smile.The important thing was tha
Raze ran as fast as he could to save his wife, but it was too late. They both fell and were swallowed by the massive waves. There was no certainty if they would survive.He would risk his life just to save her. He couldn't bear the thought of not having his wife by his side. He wasn’t afraid to die, as long as he was with her. But what hurt the most was that he didn't even get to hold Lylia before they finally plunged into the sea.It was heart-wrenching that they didn’t get to hold hands. And maybe, in another life, they would meet again. Because to Raze, he would always choose Lylia as his wife, over and over again.But neither of them knew that Lylia was carrying his child. No one knew.Years later, in a big city filled with lights, a woman was looking up at the stars in the sky, trying to recall long-forgotten memories.She knew, deep down, that there was something in her past she needed to remember. But no matter how hard she tried, her head only throbbed more. She couldn’t remem
Clyden wasn't able to finish what he was saying when Lylia managed to kick him. With such immense force, his back slammed against the shattered windshield, and he winced as a sharp tree branch pierced his arm.Clyden let out a series of agonizing groans as blood gushed from the wound."Fvck!" Clyden cursed in pain. "I'm going to kill you, woman! I'm going to kill you!"Lylia took the chance to scramble out of the car while Clyden writhed in pain, struggling to remove the branch impaled in him."You'll pay for this! Run now, because once I get out of here, I'll make sure there isn't a piece of you left!"Lylia didn't waste a single second as she escaped and ran into the thick forest, forgetting to fix herself in her desperate rush to flee.But because of the continuous blood loss from her forehead, her pace slowed. She felt weak, and her vision began to blur.It felt like her surroundings were spinning, and her own blood had smeared across her face. She didn't know where to go, where t
THIRD PERSON POVDeep-seated hatred and envy were what drove Clyden the moment he struck Razen from where he stood.For a long time, he had been harboring resentment in his heart because he felt overshadowed by the twins, even though he was the most intelligent among them.When he learned that Raze was already married, he formed a plan to return to the Philippines to sabotage their lives. Not only that, he also conspired with Sheila. However, the woman couldn't stomach his brutal plan and tried to break off their partnership, but that wasn't what fate had in store for her.After he raped her and used her for his pleasure, Clyden disposed of her and made it look like a suicide. When she was found in her room, she was already lifeless, but it was never made public.What happened to Sheila remained a secret, and people simply assumed she had moved to another country."Clyden!" Lylia screamed breathlessly as Clyden accelerated the car. "Razen! What did you do to Razen?!"He let out a laug
We just had a quickie in the kitchen before Razen and Cy could get back. He punished me because he said I lied to him, but it was okay because it felt amazing.He’s grinning now while still hugging me, intentionally rubbing his length against my backside."Stop teasing me, Raze. They might notice us," I whispered, scolding him. "They’ll tease us for doing something mysterious here in the kitchen."When in fact, we actually were. We just didn't get caught.He laughed softly. "Can't I just be affectionate? I'm a sweet person," he countered, peppering my cheek with kisses while gently massaging my chest. "I just love massaging your melons, baby. It’s relaxing," he added tenderly.It was a good thing our backs were turned to the other two, otherwise they’d see exactly what this man is doing. I could tell that he's really enjoying our position right now. I just let him be, since I was enjoying what he was doing too.I focused my attention on what I was cooking and let him taste if anything
While I was busy cooking in the kitchen for our breakfast, I noticed it felt like someone was watching me, but when I looked around, no one was there.I just shrugged it off and continued what I was doing. But I really felt like someone was observing me. I just couldn't catch them."Stop hiding," I said firmly. "Show yourself. I'm not afraid of you."I heard a soft laugh from a distance. When I realized who it was, I didn't waste any more time looking back again."Hm, not bad. You’re quick to sense things." I could hear the amusement in his voice, as if he were challenged by how quickly I felt his presence. "Are you not afraid of me anymore?"He approached me, but I didn't give him any attention. What Raze said was true, he really drains your energy when he’s near. It felt like he was surrounded by negative energy.I feigned ignorance and continued what I was doing. I could see out of the corner of my eye that he was watching what I was doing until he picked up the knife next to the c
“If you can’t do it, I will. I can have my daddy’s men dispose of her,” I heard Sheila say in a flirtatious voice. “It’s easy, Raze. Just give me the word, and I’ll do it for you.”I pressed my hand tighter over my mouth and instinctively stepped back. I—I didn't expect this.Why? Why, Raze?“Let’s
“O-Okay,” I agreed. “What time? So I can close the eatery early.”“I’ll inform you. I have your number anyway.”I frowned. Number? He has my number? I don't recall ever giving it to him.“Don’t ask.” He looked away as if embarrassed. He must have noticed me thinking. “I got your number from someone
I felt him slow the car down before he turned to look at me.“Would you believe me if I said no?”I immediately looked away when our eyes met.“No,” I answered curtly. “You can just admit it.”“You might get angry and think I only did that to make it up to you, but no, Lyl, I just want to help you,
I remained silent, my eyes deliberately avoiding his as he fastened my seatbelt.“I’ll go back to the market later—”“Why? Because of your cousin and your ex?” I cut in bluntly, finally turning to face him. “Why did you even pull me away from there? Focus on what you should be focusing on. I’ll jus
