The Man He Used To be Chapter 14
Gregory woke up feeling dizzy, his throat was parched, and his body aches all over. Last night's beating was worst than the nights. He already lost track of how long he's been inside his dark cell. They give him food once in a while and water, but it's only enough to keep him alive.In his mind, he knew that his daughter would come looking for him. He's their father, and they won't just let him rot in that cell. He believes that his daughters are already scouring the earth to find him."Gregory Rothschild. How the mighty have fallen? How are you, dear friend?" Gregory heard the voice he came to loathe."You won't break me, Lorenzo. My daughters are looking for me right now. And my soon-to-be son-in-law is one of the wealthiest men you could ever meet. Once they realized that it's you who took me, you're going to pay for it." Gregory threatened him. But Lorenzo just laughed at him."Marionne Castello? I know him, and I saw him just before coming here, with

Marionne continues to work his magic with Sophia. He maintains a caring and loving fianceé. Sophia is like a willing victim, believing everything he says and does. And Ava remains the antagonist in their love story. "Sophia, can we talk?" Ava approaches her sister in the kitchen. Sophia didn't even bother her annoyance with her. "What now, Ava? If this about my fianceé, I don't want to hear it." Sofia said without looking at her. "But, Soph—" Ava tried to explain, but Sophia immediately cut her off. "But what, Ava? Are you going to tell me again that Marionne is not the man for me? That he is who I think he is? Are you going to say to me again that he is just using me? Using me for what, Ava? The last time I checked, our overall remaining assets don't even reach half of his wealth. So, what is he using me for? And why are you talking like you know him so well?" Sophia could not hold back anymore. Ava wanted to answer all her questions, but she

Marionne was trying to keep the details of his marriage to his father. He knew that his father would not be happy about his plans. But their marriage made the front page and news on tv. It even became trending on social media. It was like a wildfire that started as a flicker then spread uncontrollably."Marionne, what is this?" His father forcefully placed a newspaper at the table showing him and Sophia on a sweet picture together. "What on earth are you thinking, son?""Dad, calm down, okay? I know what I'm doing." Marionne answered his father calmly."You know what you're doing. It doesn't seem to me that way. You're marrying a Rothschild. How could you say that you know what you're doing?" Crisanto asked his son, with a hint of disappointment in his voice."Just trust me, Dad. Please?" Marionne begged."How could you do this to me?" His father walked away with a heavy heart. Marionne knew this would happen, but he has a plan. And he will go thro

Ava went to her office early because he doesn't want to see Marionne at their house. Not that she's jealous or whatever. She just can stand him being around. His acts of sweetness and care for her sister makes her want to gouge out her eyes. So instead of staying in the house, she'll just leave early. "Hi, Ma'am Ava. Good morning, do you need the sales report now?" Her staff asked me. "Seriously? You're really asking me that question?" Ava asked in an annoyed tone. "And who are you? "I'm a new hire, Ma'am. I'm sorry." She said apologetically. "Who hired you?" I asked again, still annoyed. "Uhm, me, Ms. Ava." Her branch manager immediately approached her. "Next time, don't hire stupid people." She said while clenching her jaw. Ava is not the kind of boss who would be mean to her employees. She always shows nothing but kindness. But for some reason, she's really not in the mood today. Sitting at her office, thinking about her sis

In the first days, Sophia won't even talk to him, but now, she willingly participates in their wedding preparations. Ava's starting to worry about her sister's perspective about the marriage. Marionne is starting to get under her skin."Hey, pretty. How's your morning?" Marionne asked Sophia when he arrives bearing a bouquet of red roses and a box of her favorite cupcake."It was okay, you?" Sophia asked back in a more civilized tone."Great, I slept well last night and woke up feeling great," Marionne answered enthusiastically. "I guess getting married will make you feel that way." He looked at Sophia's eyes intently."Really?" Sophia smiled and blushed.Ava was just a few feet away from them and can hear their every conversation. She can feel Marionne's every effort to make Sophia fall in love with him. And her sister is like a willing victim biting hi

Sophia went home as soon as she can. Her father and some goons are waiting for her by their garage. She felt scared. Sophia thought that they already killed him. But she let out a sigh of relief when she saw them drag him out of a car. He was beaten, but at least he's still alive. Sophia was about to approach her boyfriend when one of the goons pointed a gun at him."I don't think so, sweetheart." Her father said while smiling devilishly. "So you got two choices. You will marry Marionne Castello and provide for this family, or you will marry Mr. Agoncillio and pay for my debts." A large, older man stepped forward."I sure hope you would rather marry me." He said while staring at her. He looked like a rabid dog. The only thing missing is him salivating."No, I will not marry any man other than him." Sophia firmly said."Then we'll give you another choice." The older man said. "You will marry the man you're father or me wanted to you marry, and he will live
The Man He Used To be Chapter 7
Sunday morning, both Ava and Sophia are at home. Ava worries about her younger sister, who hasn't said a word since the night that Marionne arrived with their father. Gregory, who was disappointed and mad with how Sophia acted, won't talk to them, too. He despised Sophia for demanding that Marionne will not give him any money once they got married. He surely didn't expect her youngest daughter to defy him like that."Aren't you going to talk to Sophia, Dad?" Ava said to her father, who's drinking his coffee in his study room."Why would I? You two seem to forget I am your father." Gregory said hatefully."That's right; you're our father," Ava responded in the same manner. "And selling you're selling us like some piece of goods.""Is that all you have to say to me?" Gregory asked dismissively. "If yes, you can go.""You're unbelievable," Ava replied. "I'm sure Mom will be ashamed of you."Ava left her father with utter disappointment in her h

"Marionne! Wait!"Ava couldn't let her sister marry someone she doesn't love because of their father. She has to do something. Maybe, regardless of what happened between them in the past, he would listen to her."Marionne!"Ava tried to call him again, but he chose to ignore her. He continuously walks towards his car."Damn it! Marionne, will you stop!"At last, Marionne stopped walking, but he kept his back on her."Marionne, please, talk to me," Ava begged."What is it, Ava?" Marionne asked her blankly.Marionne turned around and faced the very first woman he loved and broke his heart. It's been twelve years since they last saw each other."What do you want, Marionne? Why are you doing this?" Ava asked in an accusatory tone."Oh! You think I'm here because I wanted to? I have my own company to manage, Ava. You and your family's drama is the last thing I need." Marionne responded in a contemptuous tone."T
