Agad na nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Gael dahil sa sinabing pangalan ng lalaki. The name sounded familiar yet… His head throbbed, more painful this time. But he willed his logic not to falter. He briefly closed his eyes and tried to recall where did he hear that name.No. He didn’t hear it, he read the name somewhere.Right. He read that name from the investigation report about him.“Samaniego. You’re my former boss?” takang-tanong niya sa lalaki nang magmulat siya, naguguluhan pa rin.The man chuckled and murmured something he did not catch. “I’m not your former boss, Gael. My Dad was your former boss.”“Eric Samaniego?” sambit niya, frowning after.He didn’t know where it come from. He doesn’t recall much of the investigation report given to him. It says he doesn't have close friends that's why his focus were on the Sandejas family. Kaya naman maski siya nagulat when the name just popped inside his head!“That’s the name of my Dad,” anang lalaki.“And who you are to me?” he quickly

For a moment, Charlie’s mind was filled with haze. She cannot think of any logical explanation how the hell Gael ended up inside her fitting room… and has helped zipped her clothes up!Lalong nanlaki ang mata niya sa naisip.He zipped up my clothes, she thought. Oh my god!He just had a glimpse of her damn bare back! She didn’t even wear her brassiere that day, she just had he Nippies on. And Gael just…“Oh my, god!” she groaned in utter disbelief.She cannot believe she allowed Gael, her very own enemy, to have a partial free view of her naked body! Of course she had been naked in front of him before. But that was before. The Gael now doesn't!Mabilis niyang pinagkurus ang mga kamay sa kanyang dibdib. She felt so exposed!Shame and confusion washed over her again. But just after the shame, came the rage. Gigil niyang dinuro ang dibdib nito.“How dare you come in here, Gael! Are you out of your mind? Have you become a damn perv? Hindi ka man lang nahiya! Ano bang—“ Her next words we

"So, tell me how your parents are doing? Won't they come home soon? Kalahating dekada na rin sila abroad, aren't they bored?" kaswal na tanong ni Mr. Dominguez kay Charlie.They were already at the balcony of the room he booked, sitting in front of a table set-up for two. And like what he said, the view from there was overlooking the city. Hinayon niya ng tingin ang kabuuan ng siyudad. The night view was indeed breathtaking from up there but it wasn't enough to ease her troubled mind. There was still that knowing feeling in her gut telling her thtat something will definitely go wrong tonight.Mabilis na lumipad ang isip niya kay Levi. She would've been talking to her son right now-- hearing her cute giggles and stories. Oh what she wouldn't give just to spend more tim with Levi."Charlize?" pukaw ni Mr. Dominguez sa kanya, maya-maya.Kumurap siya agad na bumaling sa lalaki. "I-I'm sorry. You were saying?""Mukha yatang lumilipad ang isip mo ngayong gabi, Charlize. Parang gusto ko n

"What? No!" mariing tutol ni Gael sa sinabi ni Gray. "I cannot have sex with Charlize! That would be just... just—""Right. That's just right, Gael. You are still her husband!" giit ni Gray. Charlize groaned and curled like a ball. She sobbed again and clutched the sheet tighter. She's now full of sweat and mumbling words he cannot figure out. He just knew that she's getting worse. Lalong umigting ang panga niya. Charlize maybe his enemy but he cannot watch her in pain like the way she is now. There's a pain ripping through him just by looking at her. And he doesn't even know where it's coming from. His eyes snapped back up at Gray. "Think of another way, there should be another way! Call her boyfriend!"Nangunot noo si Gray. "She doesn't—" Hindi nito itinuloy ang sanay sasabihin. "Kung ayaw mo, maybe one of your men could!"Agad na lumipad ang tingin ni Gray sa nakabukas na pinto. From there, he can see Hugo, standing by the door, gulat na nakatunghay sa mga nangyayari sa loob ng

Nagmamadaling umibis ng sasakyan si Charlie pagkatapat na pagkatapat niyon sa isang restaurant sa loob ng mall. She had an overtime today at work dahil na rin sa dalawang araw siyang um-absent after her drugging incident. Sa totoo lang, to say that her family was angry with what happened was an undestatement. Her family was livid! After learning about the incident, her Grandma, Uncle Joshua and Uncle Kiel wanted to send her to California right there and then. That was after they went straight to the Secretary of Justice to ask for help and make sure that the Mondragons and Mr. Dominguez will pay for their crimes. Mabuti na lang napakiusapan niy ang mga ito na h'wag muna siyang pabalikin sa California at least for another 2 weeks. Kritikal kasi para sa recovery plan ng SSL Cruise ang susunod na dalawang linggo kaya hindi siya pwedeng umalis. She wanted to make sure that the initial phase of the recovery plan is well executed to ensure its success. Mabuti na lang pumayag ang mga it
