BOOK 8: THE HEIRESS AND THE BODYGUARD (Seth and Jewel)

TEASER

Lumaki si Jewel Gutierrez na nakukuha ang lahat ng anumang gustuhin niya. She can buy anything she wants; be anything she can be; and get everything with just a snap of her fingers.

Seth Nikolai de Montaigne grew up with nothing in his life but a name that brings him more trouble than comfort. He grew up working for everything he owns and despises the spoiled and the rich who regards money as a ticket for everything.

One night, they clashed at a bar Jewel frequents to. She hated him to the core. And Seth, thinks that she is but a spoiled rich brat who does nothing but paint the town red. They are poles apart and will never ever meet halfway for anything.

Subalit parang pinaglalaruan sila ng tadhana nang matagpuan nila ang isa’t-isa na laging magkasama—si Seth bilang bodyguard at si Jewel bilang amo nito. Sa kabila ng lagi nilang pagbabangayan, may nangyaring hindi inaasahan, unti-unting nahulog si Jewel kay Seth, bagay na hindi magawang tugunan ng binata. They have decided to go on their separate ways for the better.

She said she fired him. But he said, he walked away.

Sa paglayo ng binata, sinubukang ibaling ni Jewel ang atensyon sa trabaho. Subalit hindi pa pala tapos sa pagbibiro ang tadhana sa kanila. Muli silang nagkita ni Seth at baliktad na ngayon ang kanilang sitwasyon. Seth is the one calling the shots now, while Jewel, is always at his mercy.

Sa muli nilang pagtatagpo, may magbago rin kaya sa estado ng kani-kanilang mga puso? Si Seth na nga kaya ang prince charming na matagal nang hinihintay ni Jewel para matupad ang kanyang ‘happy every after’? Or will he break her heart again the second-time around?
