Desire Almonte, the sole heiress of the Almonte Empire found herself stuck in a game made by her grandfather's adopted son Chase Almonte. When her grandfather died she was forced to take charge on their business and left her job as a surgeon. But the cunning and selfish Chase made it impossible for her to continue her grandfather's legacy. He never stopped creating schemes against her and even attempted to kill her. But little did he know that Desire was saved by a mutibillionaire and C.E.O of a fast growing company, Kevin Villafuerte. And just as when he thought he succeeded on his plan, a more dangerous Desire came back holding a grudge against him.
View MoreChase's POV; "Could you believe it? I was there when he was having difficulties with that stupid company! But he only gave me 20% share? What am I going to do with that stupid share?" I slammed my fist hard on the table. This is a big embarrassment and I will never accept it! "Bro, calm down. Atleast he gave you 20% share when in fact we both know that you don't deserve any of it!" Louie said that made me more furious. "Are you serious? You think I don't deserve anything? After all my sacrifices?" I was about to punch him but he was able to catch my fist before it landed on his face. "Bro, calm down. Remember what you did to him! You killed him! You have killed the man who stood beside you as your father and raised you like his own child! Man that was insane! You have a very big sin!" he told me. "You shut up! If that stupid Desire finds out about this, I would strangle your neck and throw your dead body in the river!" I warned him. He swallowed the lump
*Desire's POV* They say everyone is meant to leave this world. Everyone would eventually die and leave for good. But I didn't expect it to happen so soon to my grandpa. He's the only family I have! We can't hide the fact that losing our loved ones is like a part of our heart had died as well. And that's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I curled up to my bed and hugged myself tightly. A week full of sorrows and misery had passed. After my grandfather's burial I filed an indefinite leave. And for these past few days I've been spending my life mourning for his death. Nanny Ysang tried to comfort me, but I told her that I want to be alone and I don't wish to be comforted by anyone. Patricia calls every night but I chose to ignore her calls. All I want to do is to stay in bed and cry all night. I know that I promised my grandpa that I will help uncle Chase in running our business. But I just don't have the strength to do it right now."Desire, sweety can I come in?" nanny
*Third Person's Pov* "I told you to kill her! But all you did was stab her!" Chase shouted angrily at his men as soon as he arrived in their hideout. The goons just bowed down their heads because of fear. "Chase, calm down bro!" Louie stopped him from possibly breaking their men's heads because of rage. "Calm down? When the person that I want dead is still in the hospital, breathing! You expect me to calm down?" Chase shouted angrily. He slamed his hands hard on the table causing for his men to tremble in fear. "Boss don't worry we will do our job better next time. We will kill her," the leader of the goons promised while lowering his gaze. "No! I have a better plan. For now, I think I have to eliminate her grandfather first!" Louie's eyes widened after hearing his friend's words. "You will kill your dad?" It's really hard for him to believe that Chase would actually plan to kill someone just for the sake of money. The Chase he once knew when they were still young was friendly
*Desire's POV* I woke up to the smell of ethanol and was greeted by completely white surroundings. What happened last night came flashing in my mind. I was stabbed! I checked my stomach, and saw a bandage in there, indicating that what happened last night wasn't a dream. I was really stabbed after doing the medical mission! I tried to stand up but my wound feels like it's burning every time I tried to move. Gosh! I still have some patients to attend to! I can't be here laying in bed while my patients are waiting for me! The door swung open to reveal my grandfather's worried face. He's with my nanny who's obviously worried as well. I felt sorry for making them worry. &nb
*Third Person's POV* It was already dusk when Desire and her team decided to go home after their successful medical mission. They are all very happy that they were able to help the people of that small village. Desire is smiling from ear to ear as she watch the people carrying the foods and medicines they gave them. "I guess everyone will have a nice dinner doc," Patricia mumbled with a smile on her face. They are all very tired but just by seeing the smile on the people's faces, their tiredness wear off. "You're right Pat. We did a good job for today. I'm very much grateful to all of you. This medical mission will not be possible without your help," Desire said with sincerity. "We are also thankful to you doc for letting us participate in t
*Desire's POV* After almost three hours drive, we finally reached the place where we will conduct our medical mission. We were greeted by smiley faces and polite people. The place is a slightly crowded area, with houses made of nipa and surrounded with different kinds of trees. Children were busy playing with mud while their parents patiently wait for us to finish setting up our tent. "Doctor, we prepared some food for you and your team." A man in his mid 60's approached me with a smile on his wrinkled face. He's probably the leader of this neighborhood. "Thank you for your generosity," I thanked him with a smile on my face. He smiled at me as well. I can't help but admire these people fo
*Third Person's POV* Giovanni went home with a smile on his wrinkled face. He managed to close the deal with one of his billionaire clients. He had been working hard for that deal for the past three weeks and now he finally managed to close it. One more successful business partnership with a big client and the future of his company will be secured. "Congratulations on closing the deal dad," Chase congratulated him as soon as they stepped out of their cars. "Thanks son, I just hope we could do the same thing with Kevin Villafuerte. I've been dying to have a business partnership with him but he keeps on declining my business proposals," the old man answered. Chase's face suddenly turned mad upon hearing what his father told
(After 16 years) *Desire's POV;* "Doctor Almonte a patient needs you!" A nurse ran towards my direction while I'm having a sip of coffee in my office. She's panting and I could see how nervous she is right now. "Calm down, take deep breathes and relax. I will attend to that patient right away," I told her. She sits on the couch and started to breathe in and out just like what I told her. I put on my white coat and grabbed my stethoscope. Then I hurriedly run towards the direction of the emergency room. I could see my fellow doctors and some nurses running as well. We have a lot of patients for today and we must attend to all o
*Desire's Pov;* Two days passed since we arrive here in my grandfather's mansion but still I'm missing my old home. I'm missing my father and my friends who usually come to play with me. "Why are you sad?" nanny asked when she saw me staring over my room's window. "Did you remember your father again?" I nod as an answer and tears started to fall from my eyes. She hugged me tight and kisses the top of my head. It's her way to calm me. "Thank you nanny," I whispered. I'm really grateful I have her. I may no
