Chapter 13Day by day, it became normal for Geralt to send different kinds of things for her child. Every afternoon, Vienne would come home carrying paper bags filled with food, snacks, and sometimes groceries that looked far too expensive for her salary. It felt like she had a sponsor she never asked for. The first time she tried to refuse, Geralt had gone quiet in a way that made her uncomfortable, as if she had offended him. After that, she never attempted to turn him down again.He also visited their house almost every day. At first, it felt strange having someone like him in their small home but slowly, it became natural. He would sit on their worn-out couch, play with Zeus, and laugh at the child’s simple jokes. Zeus, who used to be distant and shy, was no longer the same. He warmed up to Geralt quickly, as if there was something familiar about him.Whenever Geralt was around, it no longer felt like he was her boss. It felt like they were simply… friends.“Here comes the beautif

“MOM!” Geralt called loudly as he looked around the huge house. Vienne stayed quietly behind him, holding their bag and a few clothes for her and her child. She could not hide the amazement in her eyes. The house was too big and too beautiful. It felt like she would get lost if she walked alone inside. The floor was shining, the walls were decorated with expensive paintings, and everything looked perfect. It was a world far from what she was used to. She and her child were only here because earlier, when she shook her head at Mildred, her mother ended up saying yes to Geralt’s offer. She felt so embarrassed about it, but she knew her mother could be shameless when it came to opportunities like this. And now, everything happened so fast. They had just arrived from a flight, riding Geralt’s private plane. It still felt unreal to her.“Mom!” Geralt called again, then he looked at Zeus. “Call grandma. Grandma!”“Grandma!” Zeus said happily, making Vienne smile despite her nervousness.“Ve

Geralt opened the door of the hotel room and stepped aside so Vienne could enter first. He looked at her and spoke in a calm voice.“Stay here. I’ll just be next door, alright?” he said.They were given rooms on the ground floor so she would not have a hard time going up and down. He had even booked the entire hotel and paid for two days of income so no other guests would be allowed to stay. It made Vienne feel both safe and confused. She did not understand why he would go that far.She nodded at him, but then she found herself staring. She did not notice it at first. There was something she wanted to ask him, but she felt shy. Ever since she started feeling something strange whenever she was around him, it became harder for her to talk to him. Her heart would always beat too fast, and she was just thankful he did not seem to notice.“You’ve been staring at me for a while now,” Geralt said with a teasing smile. “Do you want to say something, or do you just think I’m very handsome?”“W

Chapter 16

Vienne ran away that night with Zeus in her arms and fear in her chest. There were no words between her and Geralt after he kissed her. For him, it might have meant something clear, something decided. But for her, it only brought confusion and fear. The moment his lips touched hers, her mind stopped working, and her heart began to race in a way she could not control. She had a boyfriend before, but her life had always been simple. She grew up in a quiet province where people did not show affection in bold ways. Even couples who had been together for years rarely kissed. Love, for her, had always been gentle and distant. So that kiss—unexpected, intense, and from her own boss—felt overwhelming. She did not understand why he did it. Maybe she was just someone he could use to forget his past relationship. Maybe she was only there to fill the empty space left by another woman. That thought alone made her chest tighten. So she chose to leave. She packed quickly, took Zeus with

And so it happened—Vienne entered with Zeus.“Dizzy, Zus!” Zeus said as they went up in the elevator.She softly laughed while carrying the child.“It will go away. We’re almost there, we’ll be out soon,” she told him.He buried his face in her shoulder as the elevator made a sound.“There, we’re getting out now, my child.”Even though she was struggling with everything she was carrying, it was fine. Even if she looked like a Christmas tree in the middle of summer, it was okay.Things weren’t going well in their place. It turned out that mining wasn’t the real intention of the people who wanted to enter. A wealthy businessman supposedly owned the land they were living on, and it was said to be inherited from his grandfather. That was what her mother told her earlier when she called. The people there were going to fight back because the entire land would be taken—including the stream and the waterfall where she found Zeus.She was deeply worried. That place was their only source of liv

“WE will talk some other time,” that was what Geralt said to Vienne after brushing a kiss on her forehead. “Miss Virgin.” She shyly blinked and kept her head down. “You’ll explain to me, but not now. I’ll just think you tricked me and just wanted to tease me with your being a virgin.” “Hey, no!” she quickly answered and looked up at him. Geralt just smiled at her. “Just kidding. I have an important thing to do. For now, stay here. I’ll see you tomorrow in the office with Zeus,” he gently caressed the child’s cheek and stared at him. “A-Are you not going back inside?” “Do you want me to go inside again?” “Hey, no!” she answered again immediately, making Geralt laugh loudly. But she noticed his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about something—that he was only faking his laughter. “As much as I want to, I can’t. Next time, baby.” Baby. He kissed her forehead again, then her lips—quick kisses—before glancing at his watch. “I’ll go now,” the man said goodbye. “T-take care.”

Chapter 19

Vienne wiped the tears from her eyes. It was already dark, and she was at the ferry terminal, waiting for a ship that would take her to the place Nivara had told her to go. The woman was holding her mother and the natives who had helped her get to Manila. She wished she had never dreamed of leaving. She should have just worked in Cebu—maybe she wouldn’t have lost everything. She held her bag tightly, hugging it as she cried. She couldn’t forget how Nivara shot herself just to look like the victim. Even if she wanted to save Zeus, she couldn’t do anything. It was better that he ended up in Geralt’s hands. She only hoped that someday, Geralt would learn the truth so that Zeus wouldn’t be hurt by Nivara. She still couldn’t believe what she had discovered earlier while riding in the car with the two men. One of them had the speaker on, and the woman kept talking endlessly about the past. She had planned everything wickedly—from the death of Zeus’s mother, to the child’s disappearance,

The Rebellious Superstar - Series 3

Chapter 1Zent was handsome, clean, smooth-skinned, and incredibly talented when it came to acting—qualities that were not much different from other actors. However, what truly set him apart was his overwhelming charisma. That was something others lacked. No matter who he was paired with, regardless of the actress, his own star always shone the brightest.The two actors on the television kissed passionately. Solana found herself staring intently at how Zent’s lips moved against the actress’s, noticing how eager the woman seemed—as if she had not kissed anyone for decades. That was what the director had instructed, after all. Solana almost forgot to breathe as she watched, but suddenly, something caught her attention. She sniffed the air.Burning.That was the moment she tore her eyes away from the television and looked at what she was cooking.“Oh no, the pan!” she screamed when she saw that the ham inside the non-stick frying pan was already burned.It was a good thing the stove hadn

Chapter 2

After getting dressed, Solana didn’t wait for her husband to finish preparing. It was honestly surprising that his manager-slash-personal assistant wasn’t around today. Before, even something as simple as putting on his clothes, someone else would already be there to help him, especially back during their wedding day.“Where do you want to eat, apo?” Lazaro asked with a warm smile as she approached him.Solana hugged him, even though she felt a bit awkward. Not because she disliked him, but because he was extremely rich, and she wasn’t used to people like him. Still, there was something comforting about him. He reminded her of her late grandparents, and that feeling made it hard for her to keep her distance.Despite all the rumors that Lazaro was strict and difficult, she didn’t see that side of him. To her, he seemed kind. In fact, she felt like Zent, her husband had a worse attitude than the old man.“You can decide, lolo. As long as I get to eat. I’m really hungry,” she said with a

Chapter 3

Solana blinked when Zent suddenly dropped himself onto the bed as soon as he entered the room. They had just moved into the big house earlier that day.Señor Lazaro had never looked happier when she and Zent arrived together, riding in the handsome car of her actor husband, whom he liked to call Raptor.That same day they met at Conrad was also the day they found out that Zent was the man who had pulled her inside the hotel. She later learned that he had been under the influence of drugs at that time. Apparently, he had gone to audition for a sexy movie that day, but he did not make it because another male artist, Jaiho, had already been chosen. Jaiho was also Zent’s rival in the shining world of show business. They were always competing against each other.In simple words, she finally got the evidence she needed after telling Señor Lazaro everything that had happened. What she did not know was that Lazaro had also been there that day to secretly watch over his only grandson. He had h
