A month later…Mrs. Mitchell had fully recovered and now, Roselle's duty was over. She was currently in her occupied room packing up all her basic necessities and the rest of her stuff.Since that night, Roselle has tried hard to distance herself from Oliver because she felt that he wasn't into her but the guy seemed to be oblivious to it. He always approached her and even took her somewhere to dine during her day off. She was left with no choice but to give in over and over again. She was enslaved with her heart's desire and there's nothing she could do to prevent it from getting escalated. They formed a vague bond which couldn't be counted as a couple but they indulge themselves to their heart's content. Masaya siya whenever they were together and Oliver appeared the same. The problem was, both of them remained tight-lipped and neither of the two of them tried to emphasize on what they actually are. Lovers or bed partners? These questions always bug her off when she's alone but none

A year later…Ventura's Residence…Sa isang malaki at kakaibang kwarto, an unconscious woman was laying in the middle of a spacious bed. Her skin was pale as a sheet, eyes were tightly shut, and there's a holter monitor on her right side that keeps on beeping along her bedside. She was in a comatose state. Series of wires are connected to her skin just to keep her stabilized. On her left side was stationed a huge medical oxygen tank which cordially supported her breathing through an oxygen mask. She was none other than Roselle Ruella Ventura who remained fighting for her life from the first day she was confined in a hospital up until now that she was back to her father's side. In the corner stood a very exhausted looking middle aged man, watching over the unconscious form. His eyes were bloodshot, unmoving as he waited for some miracle to happen. His fists clenched tightly beneath his trousers pockets because he was losing faith when it came to his daughter's condition. It's been a ye

From the corner, just a few tables away from the podium, Oliver and Sofia froze in their current reserved seats as the celebrant swept her frosty gaze and smiled towards her guests. They both fell speechless and thunderstruck upon seeing the sophisticatedly looking woman standing elegantly right in front of them. "That woman! She was—..." Sofia's mouth gaped in shock as her eyes started to darken. Her face slowly turned ghastly pale and for some reason, she lowered her head while gnashing her teeth in silence. Oliver clenched his fist hard inside his pockets and gazed at the woman he longed so much to see. He noticed that her belly was back to its original shape just like her body and now he felt a sudden surge of excitement to meet his child. He was certain that she had delivered the fruit of their intimate times and he wanted to acknowledge the kid as his if she allowed him to. Fulfill his duties as the father and might consider things about the two of them if he would be given a c

Monday morning…Alas singko pa lamang ay gising na ang dalaga upang makapag handa sa panibagong tatahaking yugto ng kanyang buhay. Her birthday party celebration last friday night was just the start of how she accepted the entire ordeal which was specifically arranged by her father just for her. The news about her sudden existence as the Don's heiress spread like wildfire shocking the entire city overnight but the scenario at the garden never appeared on the news. It was like it never happened and just pushed aside.Now, she was ready to face what was coming on her way and this time she swore to enjoy and embrace whether it was pleasure or pain that comes with the consequences from all of it. She had tried her best to fulfill her mother's dying wish before but she only failed. She even lost her child in the process and that was her bottom line."Rue?" Tommy knocked on her door gently."Come in," she urged while sitting on her dresser facing the mirror. She was still wrapped in her bath

Tumango na lamang si Emman sa kanyang narinig mula kay Tommy and thought to himself. 'Oliver, goodluck man! It seems that you got a dangerous opponent this time!'Tommy jerked on his seat when his mobile phone rang inside his pockets. He shoved his hand, fished it out and answered his caller right there and then. Ruella was calling…"Rue," He greeted gently as he aligned his phone in his ear. "Alright. I'll be there. Wait for me." He then dropped the call and stood up. "Mr. Velasco, thank you for the coffee and the chat but I have to go. Ruella needs me right now." He sounds somewhat anxious."Is there any problem?" Emman became anxious as well. He also stood up from his seat obviously getting concerned."Nothing. She just needs me right now." Pagkasabi ay nagmamadaling umalis na si Tommy sa kanyang office leaving him alone to analyze the situation but his mobile phone rang as well in his pockets. Oliver was also calling him…"Yes, Oliver." He groaned."Come to my office right now." H
