Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Kryptonite: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

"I'm giving you time to think," Stefano said. "Here, I already saved my number on your phone. Don't you dare reject my calls or even think of blocking me again. I'm telling you, Lara, your life and your baby's life are in my hands. Make the right decision, okay?"She didn't accept her phone, so he just tossed it to her before he laughed and left the room.Lara was left in shock.What was she going to do? By now, she wasn't gullible enough to believe that Miguel was just using her. Her husband loved her. Miguel wasn't using her for money; he wasn't like that. It wasn't in his nature.But even if Stefano was right, Lara would still choose to stay beside Miguel. She loved him. If their baby had to play a role in fulfilling Miguel's desires, she knew that, like her, their child would willingly be used to making its daddy happy.But regardless of whether Miguel was using her or not, one truth remained. He was not safe from his own cousin. And Lara knew she had a responsibility to protect h

"My fear has already happened. What will I do, George?"The old caretaker first took a sip of his coffee before looking at him."Does she remember Stefano?" Uncle George confirmed.Miguel nodded.It was almost one in the morning, and the old man was forced to make coffee to stay awake because he had asked for his presence.Lara was already fast asleep, but Miguel remained wide-eyed after their conversation. He couldn't even close his eyes, fearing that when he woke up, his wife might be gone.Just like how he had said goodbye to Lena, not realizing it would be their last meeting while she was alive.Since losing her, Miguel had lived in fear of losing another loved one. Perhaps, he thought, it was the reason he stayed single for a long time. And even when he married Lara, he tried his best not to involve her too deeply in his life. But he fell in love with her, deeply and irrevocably. The moment he let her into his life, the moment he introduced her to the public, he practically let h

Just the other day, it was Reed who was found lifeless in his condo unit. Less than forty-eight hours later, Stefan was shot dead on his way to work.But at the loss of his father and brother, Stefano was missing in action. Anita said his eldest son was in another country. And with the family’s loss, Miguel was being pointed at as the culprit.“I didn’t do it. I won’t stain my hands with their blood,” Miguel said.He was not a bit worried. They had no evidence against him except a supposed motive.What concerned him was the possibility of more events unfolding. As long as he couldn’t be certain Stefano was out of the country, he couldn’t be at ease.“I believe you, Mr. Villareal. Besides, you have no reason for revenge.”“Has anyone seen Stefano yet?”George shook his head. “No one, Mr. Villareal.”He fell into deep thought. Where’s Stefano?“By the way, that report about why Lara visited a hospital. Where is it?” he changed the topic of their conversation.He had been too preoccupied

"Lara, I'm not comfortable doing this," Tasya said. She met up with her inside the mall restroom that was also owned by Miguel. "Tell me first what's going on.""I don't have much time, Tasya. Please, I'll explain when I get back," she replied, trying to make her understand.She could have gone to another mall. But to avoid raising suspicion about her actions, she pretended to go shopping in their own mall."But I'm worried about you!"Lara sighed. Her plan didn't seem easy. Though it was simple; she had asked Tasya to bring her clothes to change into so she could evade her guards. She needed to meet Stefano. And she couldn't let her husband know what she was planning. She was sure he wouldn't allow it.She was nervous too. But she had to do something to protect Miguel. Stefano had given her conditions to leave her husband alone. Lara knew whatever conditions he had, they wouldn't be good. But she had to hear them first. And if she can give them, she will. For Miguel.Right. For Migo.

Lara was beginning to feel uneasy in her seemingly comfortable situation. She was being treated well, and despite waiting for several minutes, there was still no sign of Stefano.There were five guards inside a spacious room in a safe house. Two were by the door, keeping watch. One, who seemed to be the leader, was positioned near the window, occasionally scanning the surroundings with binoculars. The other two were in a corner, playing cards. Meanwhile, Lara sat quietly on the sofa, shifting her gaze between them, looking confused.The address Stefano had sent her was different from this place. However, it could mean that he was intentionally trying to confuse her. After all, only the two of them knew about her plan. But the question remained: where was Stefano? Why was he keeping her waiting?She had been calm a while ago, but when one of the guards at the window suddenly pulled out a gun and started scanning the area, Lara felt her heart in her throat.Earlier, she had asked about
