It didn't take long before Ruella and Joseph held copies of their marriage certificates. In just a blink, they turned a legal couple.The process only took a quarter half an hour kaya naman ay nagpaalam na ito sa kanyang 'asawa' na papasok na ito sa office. "Okay. So, see you around?" He mumbled hesitantly. "Yeah, Of course." Sagot ni Ruella then she realized na sumakay lang pala ito sa kotse niya kanina which means na iniwan nito ang kanyang sasakyan sa kanyang parking lot. She suddenly felt embarrassed kaya naman ay inalok niya na lang ito. "How about sending me to OLYMPUS then you can drive my car after that." "Sending my wife to her workplace would be so awesome kaya naman hindi ako tatanggi. That is one of my responsibility simula ngayon anyway," he said as he occupied the driver's seat without further ado.Tanging ngiti lamang ang sinagot ng dalaga habang inaayos ang kanyang seat belt sa passenger seat. 'So this is how it feels after getting married?' She thought na para ba'n

It was Saturday morning. Lumabas ng maaga si Ruella to clear up her mind. Nagpunta siya sa malapit na park para tumakbo at lumanghap ng preskong hangin.Last night, nakatanggap siya ng tawag mula sa kanyang tauhan sa ospital, the one that she assigned to keep an eye on Sofia. From that moment, she was bothered. Hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman niya na may galit sa kanya ang kapatid at hindi niya ito inaalintana sa pag-aakalang lilipas din ito. However, poking her nose on her business told a different story for her. She can't tolerate it no matter what kaya naman ay naguguluhan siya. Makalipas ang isang oras ay naglakad na ito pabalik pagkatapos makaisip ng solusyon.When she stepped out of the lift, she frowned a bit. Hindi niya inaasahan na makikita niya si Joseph ng ganito ka aga sa kanyang pinto. Furthermore, when she stared at him, she felt that something was not right.'He seemed off. What's wrong with him?' Sa isip-isip niya. Kaya naman binilisan niya ang kanyang mga hakbang at

At exactly 7:00 pm, Tommy and Ruella arrived at MS Hotel. Pagkababa ng kanilang sasakyan, they began to entwine their arms like real couple as they entered the entrance allocated for VIPs only. Nagdatingan na din ang mga bisita at nakasunod ang mga ito sa kanila. Pagpasok pa lamang ng pinto ay sinalubong na siya agad ni Sofia kasama si Oliver. "Miss Ventura, Mr. Torres, I'm glad you came." She greeted them with a bright smile. However, that didn't last long when she ran her eyes at the latter's appearance. "You look deadly gorgeous, Miss Ventura. Thanks for coming." She praised her sourly. The dress Ruella wore was the one she was looking for but the manager said that it was taken by someone else. It never occurred to her that she would be seeing it wrapped around her voluptuous body like it was tailor-made for her. 'This b*tch is so damned annoying!' She thought while clenching her fists hard. Ruella smiled seductively in return and said, "Oh, it's rare for you to do this ki

When Oliver entered the door, Sofia abruptly came to get him."Ollie, come. Dad wants you to meet my brother." She squealed in excitement.Oliver just smiled helplessly as he couldn't bring himself to say that he already met him just a couple of days earlier and that he was standing next to Ruella like something was happening between them. "You seemed so happy..." he whispered."I'm not." Sofia denied. "I just don't want to kill the vibe. I haven't seen my father laugh like this before. I mean, I always make him feel bad.""I'm glad to hear that you began considering your father's emotions. Please keep it up." He said lightly."I just realized that I've been too selfish for acting so immature. I don't want to be left alone, Ollie." Sofia almost teared up as she spoke. "Kaya susubukan ko if that what makes my father happy.""Alright. Let's go meet him."Ngumiti lamang ang dalaga habang papalapit sila sa kinauupuan ng dalawa.When Joseph looked up, his gaze met Oliver's, and for a mome

Hearing Oliver's words, her hold on her pen tightened but she didn't say anything. She just stood up from her seat and went to her pantry to make a cup of coffee. Then she brought it in front of him."Here you go...""Salamat."He briefly replied before he brought it to his nose. "This really smells so good and relaxing..." Dagdag pa nito bago tuluyang tikman ang kape.Ruella then went back to her seat and resumed signing the documents, ignoring him.Makalipas ang ilang segundo, tumunog ang kanyang telepono.Sinagot niya ito nang makita ang caller ID."Dad," She greeted."I'm going on a business trip. Will you be able to handle everything on your own while I'm gone?" Her father asked at the other end of the line."Biglaan naman yata 'to. Which country are you heading?" Tanong ni Ruella."I'll tell you when I get there. As of now, I want you to focus on whatever you planned. I'll handle the rest.""Dad," Ruella suddenly went emotional. "Anong oras ang flight mo?""In two hours.""I'm s
