Chapter 20The young lady's forehead wrinkled as she registered the full extent of the man's sprawled body when she entered. Somehow, her nervousness had subsided a bit, even though she had just entered a stranger's presence. The security was quite tight; it was difficult to access the condo building, so it was impossible for someone else to be in the room.It was Mister Montesalvo!She took a step, and her foot landed on something sticky on the floor. She clapped her hands, and the lights turned on. It was something she had learned from him, clapping to control the lights automatically.She couldn't be mistaken about the person she saw, but she immediately glanced at his bare feet."Yuck! Vomit!" she exclaimed with a cringe.She had stepped on vomit! What was happening? She grimaced and closed her eyes, thinking that the owner of the vomit was probably good-looking, so it was okay. Maybe he had vomited because no one else was around. Perhaps he was intoxicated and had collapsed on th

Chapter 22Carmenzita looked at her grandson. They're having a snack together by the poolside. It's the old woman's favorite spot because she enjoys watching the light green water of the swimming pool."How's Heart, my dear? Have you told her about the help I'm going to provide for her education?"He didn't respond. He was contemplating whether he should let her know or not, to avoid any further meetings. What's the point then? He had already met Heart, and she knew his identity. Why would he want to stop their deal if he still wanted to continue?"I'll talk to her about it some other time. She can't handle everything at once, Grandma."The old woman shrugged and took a sip of juice. "You're right. The help with her education will be there when she needs it. I have an idea. I will try to help all of our undergraduate employees to study again. Of course, I'll find sponsors first. We'll make Heart the model to inspire others to study as well."He nodded. It was a good idea. Lux always s

Chapter 24Lux stopped the car after pulling over.He looked at Heart as she unfastened her seatbelt. He had just dropped her off at the market, as he had promised, following their quick encounter at the parking. He didn’t mind the extra time spent driving back and forth. He felt satisfied after their moment in the parking lot; that was his compensation for the time taken away from work.Her thighs were pressed close together, and it seemed like she was holding something back, which caught his attention.He felt a sudden throbbing in his groin and wanted another round, but for now, he had to control himself. There would be time later.“What’s the matter?” he asked the young woman, surprised, but she just shook her head.“S-Something’s coming out…” she hesitantly replied, her cheeks turning red.Lux knew exactly what she meant; it was his sperm.“It’s normal. I’m inside you,” he assured her, making her blush even more.“But, I-I don’t want it to get on my p-panties…”He smiled

Chapter 26“Is that man courting you, Heart?” That was Senyora Carmen’s immediate question to her after she sat down beside the old woman. She had suspected that the three of them knew each other. Even though she wanted to know how, she didn’t push for it. She wasn’t in the right position to be nosy.“N-No, Senyora. I just met him recently. I have a friend who lives here, and I’m just visiting his unit for a while.”“Good,” the old lady placed her right hand on her thigh and smiled, “He’s already married. There are plenty of men in the world, Heart, for a kind and beautiful girl like you, not a married man like Enrico Mariano.”The young lady couldn’t understand why she suddenly glanced at the rearview mirror, and so did Lux.“Mama, you’re intervening in Miss Chavez’s life,” Lux remarked, shrugging.“I’m just giving her advice, Lux. I don’t want her to be bothered by a man who can’t give her a hundred percent of his love and time because that man is already married. Heart is still ver

Chapter 28NOTE: Sir, just eat there. I cooked a meal and rice. I need to leave early. I have to go back to DSWD to line up. You can come back before I go to work if you want to have fun. Take care on your way home, sir.He smirked, staring at the sticky note plastered onto the door. He raised an eyebrow but glanced at the watch he was wearing.Have fun? Did she just call it love making? Or maybe Heart just wasn’t used to saying the word ‘sex.’ He wasn’t blind to not notice that it wasn’t explicit.He wondered if the woman had slept, or perhaps he was the one who was asleep, so he didn’t notice if she had joined him in bed.He removed the sticky note and carried it with him as he left the room. He walked to the kitchen to eat. He was quite hungry, especially since he hadn’t eaten last night due to his frustration with Diana. Even his grandmother hardly spoke because of their arguments as a married couple.And now he would taste the food Heart had cooked. He opened the dish cabinet. It
