Trapped 13- "Serena..."
"But anyway…” Olivia retorted, biting her lower lip. "There are still other fishes in the sea. If you’re not meant for each other, then perhaps you are meant to be loved by other people. I’m sure there are so many folks around that’s just waiting to be noticed and loved by you." He gazed at her with a more enthused expression on his face. "Including you, right?” And then he chuckled playfully. Her eyes widened, but that was only briefly because she also immediately grinned and nodded. “Yeah, why not? You don’t seem that bad after all.” She avoided his fancy eyes and bit her lower lip as she said those words. She didn’t know why her heart suddenly raced in an abnormal rhythm. “You are one of those people—that loves me and adores me, right?” he continued to tease her slightly. As she looked into his eyes, his gaze became more intense and she could feel that she would melt at the way he was staring at her. Gradually, his sight went down to her lips, tempting her and maki
Trapped 14- "Join us."
Greg walked near them. “So, you’ve already met each other, Olivia and Serena?” he asked them casually. Serena replied with a nod. “Yes. I just met your girlfriend here. You didn’t tell me you live with her already. And, to be honest, she’s gorgeous!” Olivia felt compelled to flush as a result of the compliment that Serena gave her. It was flattering to be told something lovely by a lovely lady! But she couldn’t forget how she mistook her for Greg’s girlfriend when, in fact, she wasn’t! Serena’s comment elicited a quiet laugh from Greg, who shook his head. “It’s good to know you seem to get along easily.” “Yes, I agree. Olivia, I really feel wonderful to finally meet you!” Serena kept a relaxed and friendly vibe. She even offered Olivia a hand. The latter accepted it right away. Nice, friendly, beautiful… Serena is almost close to what perfection is—Olivia thought. She responded in the same pleasant way. Serena glanced toward Greg before thinkin
Trapped 15- "In love."
DAYS went by, and Olivia awoke one morning to find Greg's office.She discovered the man's office as she walked around and strolled through the building's various floors.She opened the door gently and carefully, curious to see what was inside.To her surprise, it wasn't even locked!But she was even more taken aback when she saw the two people standing at his table, engrossed in their conversation.Greg and Serena seemed to be a couple talking together about each other.The man sat in his executive chair while the woman sat in the visitor's seat."You're going to leave tonight. Is there anything else I can do to stop you?" Greg asked the woman softly.Olivia could sense the man's loneliness in his tone and couldn't help but sympathize with Greg’s feelings.Serena smiled and shook her head slightly."You know when I make a decision, I rarely take it back."He nodded. "Of course.”She hugged Greg after saying, "Come here."They stayed hugging for a couple of minutes.Serena hugged the
Trapped 16- "Courage."
"Olivia—“"I am begging you, Serena. Please don't go anymore. Don’t leave Greg. Please give his love a change in your heart. I really want to see you two happy with each other. All you have to do is give him and yourself a chance. Serena, please, please don't go back to Luzon.”She sounded desperate persuading Serena, but she didn't care. She needed to convince her to stay by Greg’s side."Olivia, I understand where you're coming from, but you must also understand that I have a fiancé in Luzon waiting for me. I appreciate your good intentions in telling me all of these, but please keep in mind that I already have a fiancé. You must understand that I love my fiancé and would not put our wedding at risk for anything."Olivia’s tears eventually streamed down her cheeks as she realized Serena and Greg could never be together. She’s engaged and in love with her fiancé, and Olivia possesses no power to ever stop it.There is nothing she can do anymore. Serena seems firm and there's nothing
Trapped 17- "Olivia is missing!"
THE De Vera cousins were travelling around the city after they had just finished watching a movie and taking their lunch as they got together and bonded. In the middle of their enjoyment, they suddenly missed Olivia, who seemed to be absent for the past few days."I miss Oliv!”“She must, at least, call or text us!" Rebecca smirked, and nothing changed, though she was now married. She still bonds with the De Veras very well, like when they were teenagers.Besides, Raphael, her husband, is currently in Manila for a business venture."I already told you, Rebecca, that she's all right! It came from her directly because she called me a few days ago,” Hayden said as he leaned his head on the headrest of the seat next to the driver's seat."Exactly! You're the only one she contacted, and we weren't!” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “As if we're not that important to her that you’re the only favorite cousin here!" she added, acting childish and petulant."That’s not true. She's just enjoying her li
Trapped 18- "Witness."
It's been several days since the De Veras discovered that Olivia was actually missing. None of them stop worrying and searching in order to see the missing family member.If only they could scour the entire Philippines or world just to find her!They have also begun to make noise throughout society, including on their social media accounts, to encourage everyone to help find their missing family member. Even local press releases took part. Tabloids, newspapers, columns, content, and headlines.Olivia's father, Reynald De Vera, told an anchorman on a local radio station about his daughter’s sudden disappearance and pleaded with their constituents to get them informed immediately if they saw or knew where Olivia was.Olivia De Vera, the only daughter and secretary of a local business tycoon, her father―Mr. Reynald De Vera, who owns some of the business infrastructures throughout Mindanao: Gone Missing in Action After Going Out to a Party in a Bar!The heiress of the De Vera Group of Com
Trapped 1- "To trust a stranger."
HE watched the doorway of the night bar as it opened, watching the successive entry of the De Veras—one of the most famous and riches families in their society.Oscar and Luther De Vera entered first but they were accompanied by the latter's wife who came from Manila and, as far as he knows, is now staying here in Mindanao for good. Oscar went straight to his women and had fun there. The next to enter the bar's door was Rebecca De Vera who he also heard had married a man from Manila, behind her were the sweet couple—Althea and Liam.His eyes narrowed to Althea. He must admit, he used to have a crush on Althea. She's the exact type of what he's looking for in a girl when it comes to the physical aspect. She has long and straight hair with a hairpin on the side of her ear, a soft aura, and a kind and gentle pretty face.He just laughed to himself and shook his head. He's crazy for laying an eye on one of their family's mortal enemies. Yes, you heard it right. The De Vera is his family's
Trapped 2- "Proud and ruthless."
OLIVIA immediately held back her hand from the man's hold and attempted to get out of his car, but his reflex was quick, and immediately pressed the button that locked the entire door and windows of the car.She was scared, but she still faced him bravely and angrily."Let me go!"He grinned. "Uh oh, no. No, my dear. I will not do that. You are going to be used as bait to get my revenge in your clan.""Revenge? What for? As far as I know, you, your ancestors, you Florencios, are already in arrears with the De Veras! Some of our lands were taken away, and now, one of your family members has the highest position in the local government of this province!""We are not robbing you of anything. The elders just fought back for what was theirs from the very first place, and yes, Lope Florencio is STILL the governor of this province today because he is good at leadership, and people trust him. No wonder why he defeated Romero De Vera in the last local election," he said with full pride and a b
