Raina's family had high expectations of her as she was the smartest among all of her cousins. She was loved and well-respected by everyone. But in an instant, the admiration for her from her entire family, including her own family, vanished when she suddenly became pregnant and no one to introduce as the father of her child to her family. In a sudden twist of events, she met Evo Mondragon, the wealthy boyfriend of her half-sister, who turns out to be the father of the child she was carrying.

Tears flowed endlessly from my eyes as I caught my boyfriend Greg, who was on the bed, and only a blanket covered half of his naked body, along with a smiling woman who was none other than one of my close friends. "Why, Greg? Why did you do this to me?" I asked him in a trembling voice. I couldn't accept that he could deceive me. I couldn't accept that I was betrayed by the two people close to my heart. The pain and heaviness in my chest were unbearable. It hurts so much. "Don't blame me for why I ended up looking for another woman, Raina. I'm just a man. Strong and with needs as a man. You can't give me what I want, so naturally, I looked for a woman who could satisfy my desire," Greg replied, his face showing no remorse but rather blaming me. He blames me for why he managed to deceive me. "You know that I wanted to be pure when we get married. Why couldn't you wait for that day?" I asked him bitterly. All these years, I took care of myself for him. Even though he wasn't my first boyfriend, he was the only one I allowed to kiss and hug me. Lately, Greg has tried several times to cross the boundary I set for the two of us. And the last time he tried to make something happen between us ended in a fight. He didn't show up for a few days, and I didn't receive any calls or text messages from him, so I decided to go to his condo to apologize to him. I didn't expect to see him in bed with my friend Bridget. "Don't act like you're hurt, Raina. Because you have no feelings. You're a frigid queen. If you really love me, you will give me what I want and what makes me happy. And you know what that is." It hurts to hear those words from the man I love, whom I thought understood me. I thought he was different from my previous two boyfriends because he was the only one who lasted three years in a relationship with me. I didn't know that his basis for love was for me to give my body to him. He is so shallow. "I didn't know you were that kind of person, Greg. Maybe this incident was for the best because I discovered your true nature and also discovered my snake of a friend. Well, you two suit each other. A man who only values worldly desires and a cheap woman." I firmly wiped the tears from my eyes. It was enough for them to see me cry and hurt for a few minutes. I need to restore the pride they both trampled on. I turned to Bridget, who, although silent, I could see in her eyes the pride that she managed to snatch away the man I loved. It seemed she wasn't hurt by what I said about her. "I hope your relationship lasts now that he got what he wanted from you, Bridget. A man like him, I'm sure, won't be content with just one woman. So good luck to you." I walked out of the condo unit of my now ex-boyfriend with my head held high. When I saw the red underwear scattered on my path, I kicked it away from me before finally leaving my ex-boyfriend's condominium unit. I ended up inside a bar after leaving Greg's condo. I immediately went straight to the bar counter and sat on an empty seat. "One shot of tequila, please," I said to the bartender. The bartender didn't immediately give me the tequila I asked for; instead, he just stared at my face, which clearly showed that I had just finished crying. "Don't worry because I can pay, okay?" I snapped at him. I probably looked like I couldn't afford it, so the bartender seemed hesitant to give me my order. It's maybe because I dress simply even though I can afford to buy expensive clothes. The bartender shook his head slightly before handing me a shot of tequila. "Drink slowly. Tequila is too intoxicating," he reminded me as if he knew me. I ignored what he said and instead took five shots of tequila until I just felt like I was floating. I also started to feel warmth in my body caused by the hard drinks I had consumed. While I was drinking, the bartender was staring at me as if he was watching over me. Fueled by alcohol, I gathered my courage and met his gaze. The man is very charming and attractive. His thick eyebrows complemented his eyes that seemed to want to read the depths of my mind. His nose is perfectly shaped, and his lips—oh my! The shape of his lips is so beautiful, slightly full and red. Why did I only notice his good looks now? I don't know if it's because I was staring at him so he left the counter and approached me. "Do you find me attractive? Do you think I'm worthy to be presented at the altar with my innocence? What kind of woman do you want to marry? A virgin or not, because she has already given herself to you?" I asked the man. Maybe it's because of the tequila that I couldn't feel any shame in my body. "Lady—" The man was about to say something when I pulled his collar and kissed him on the lips. Alcohol is the best when it comes to borrowing courage and a thick face. I was slightly surprised when he immediately responded to my kiss. What I expected was that he would push me away and have the bouncer drag me out of the bar. A part of my mind was screaming and telling me to stop what I was doing because I would regret it once my mind returned to its proper sanity. But I couldn't stop. The man's soft lips were giving off a unique warmth that flowed through my entire body, and I couldn't control it. A warmth that I felt for the first time. "So soft," I unconsciously murmured as I released his lips. I smiled at him while my eyes were full of seduction. "Do you want me? Then make me yours tonight. Make me forget the pain in my heart because of that bastard." "Don't tempt me, Lady. If I carry you out of this bar now, you won't be able to back out," he replied in a hoarse voice. Instead of answering, I pulled him and our lips met again for a passionate and heated kiss. Tonight, I gave my womanhood to a stranger that I couldn't give to Greg and had carefully guarded for a long time. That night, I felt like I was a bird suddenly freed from its cage, flying freely in the sky. When I woke up the next day, I discovered that I was inside a car next to the handsome bartender I spent time with last night. Both of us are naked, and only a piece of a small tower covers our bodies. Now that my mind is clear, it's a miracle that I don't feel any regret in my heart for what I did; instead, I'm happy that I gave my purity to him even though I don't know him. And it's kind of weird, but I don't regret it. Carefully, I put on the clothes I had taken off except for my lower underwear. I couldn't find my lower underwear inside the car. I couldn't help but chuckle slightly when I thought that maybe the man had already removed my panty outside the car and just threw it somewhere. Anyone who picks it up would surely be shocked. It's a good thing there was no name written on it that could be traced back to me as the owner. After getting dressed, I stared at the handsome face of the man. Now that it was brighter, I got a better look at his face. No doubt he is handsome. Surely many women are chasing after him. A mischievous smile appeared on my lips because even though I moved beside him, he still didn't wake up. It seems he got tired last night because he brought me to heaven of happiness not just once but twice. "Thank you for the wonderful experience," I softly spoke to him even though he couldn't hear. I lowered my face and gave him a quick light kiss on the lips. A goodbye kiss. Because I know we will never see each other again.RainaI did not expect Evo to be my visitor today. I was just surprised when I opened the door and saw that it was him knocking. My heart immediately raced, and I wanted to hug him. But I restrained myself from doing so because I might just look ridiculous.I let Evo in and had him sit on the sofa. I didn't show him that I was happy to see him."What brings you here? Why did you come?" I asked after sitting in the chair opposite him. Instead of answering me, he just stared at my face. I felt my cheeks blush because of his gaze. I felt like I was going to melt. "Do you need something from me or not? Just tell me what you need because I still have a lot to do."It seemed that Evo calmed down when he heard what I said last. He held one of my hands and brought it to his lips. I flinched at what he did and immediately withdrew my hand from him."I came here to tell you that I still love you, Raina. Can you give me another chance? Let's start over," he pleaded with me.My lips parted at wha
RainaThe leader of the NPA rebels grinned devilishly while staring at me. I was still wearing clothes, but it felt like I was naked in his eyes. I prepared myself for whatever he might do to me. No matter what happens, I will not allow him to succeed in his evil plans against me. I would rather die than let him have his way."Come here, Sweetheart. Come closer to me. Make me happy tonight. And if I'm satisfied, I'll release one of the two nurses we have captive," he coaxed me with a grin. He probably thought he could manipulate me."Do you think I would believe what you said? Someone like you, a demon with no soul, doesn't keep their word," I firmly replied to him. I discreetly scanned the surroundings for anything I could use to defend myself if he forced himself on me."Well, you're right. I don't keep my word. But whether you like it or not, you will please me tonight in my bed." I screamed when the leader suddenly grabbed me and pulled me onto the bed. He climbed on top of me and
Raina"Don't think that just because I like you and plan to make you my wife, I can't kill you," the leader said firmly to me. He held my face tightly again and turned it towards him. "As I told you, if you want to live, you have to follow everything I tell you."My lips were sore and I could taste the salty blood in my mouth, but I didn't show fear to the leader. Even if he makes me his wife, I'm sure he'll still kill me when he gets tired of my body. So why should I follow what he tells me?"Kill me if you have balls," I replied to the leader with clenched fists.The leader of the NPA suddenly let go of my face before approaching one of its members and taking a sharp knife from his side. I thought the leader was going to kill me, so I closed my eyes to accept my impending end. But I didn't feel anything piercing my body; instead, I heard the loud screams of the two women with me and Dr. Salazar's strong objection.I opened my eyes to find out what happened. My eyes widened when I sa
RainaIt's the fourth day now of the deadline given by the leader for our families to provide ransom money. They must have already called the numbers each one wrote down except mine. Because as I said, there's no one they can call since I'm completely orphaned."Do you think Sir Evo will give twenty million for our ransom money?" Out of great concern, Irene couldn't help but inquire from Nissi. Only a few days left until the deadline, so not only Irene but all of us are very anxious."Don't worry, Irene. I believe in Evo. I trust that he won't abandon me," Nissi confidently replied to Irene. The relationship between Nissi and Evo must be strong for her to have such great faith in her boyfriend."I don't know if my family can find a way to come up with ten million. The amount of money the NPA is demanding is too large, and I'm sure my family is struggling to find such a huge amount," said Dr. Salazar after taking a deep sigh. "How about you, Dr. Tan? Your family is wealthy, so I'm sure
RainaI am thankful that the NPA did not kill me after I came out of hiding. But even though they didn't kill me, I received a strong slap from their leader when I didn't answer his question about where my fellow volunteer was. The fellow volunteer they were referring to was Alexa.We were imprisoned by the NPA in a room inside the village captain's house. I secretly prayed that Alexa would manage to escape so she could seek help from the police."What are we going to do now? They will surely kill us," said nurse Irene, crying."Those people are ruthless. They are not afraid to kill someone. So let's just prepare ourselves because they certainly won't let us live," Dr. Salazar commented, shaking his head. I know he's also scared, but he doesn't show us the fear he feels. He was determined when he went to this dangerous place, so he accepted that he might not return home alive."I don't want to die yet. There are still many things I want to do in life. I want to help more people who ar
Evo"What? Raina volunteered to go to the place where the landslide happened?" I suddenly stood up when I heard the news brought by Pit. I secretly had them watch over Raina. I don't understand but I have a bad feeling about Mike so I let my men to secretly monitor Raina just like what they did before.Aside from the province being far away, the place Raina went to is also dangerous. The NPA living there are brutal and they don't care who they kill. They recruit people who escape from prison and those wanted by the law. It's not easy to reach their hideout due to the difficult location and terrain, making it a perfect hiding place for criminals."Raina was not the only woman close to you who volunteered, Sir Evo. We saw that Nurse Nissi and two other doctors from your family's hospital were also with her," Pit reported further."Shit! I need to go to that place to bring them back safely to the city." I won't let anything bad happen to either of them. They are both important to me. The
