Latter Part

In the battle between desire and what is right, he will always choose the latter… Chase Dmitri Saavedra, the billionaire heir of Saavedra Empire. Nakaplano na siyang ipakasal sa kanyang fiance na napili ng kanyang pamilya para mas lalo pang palawakin ang negosyo nila. But an assassination attempt after his engagement party and the arrival of his newly hired bodyguard, Venom Madrigal changes his life forever. The thick walls that he built around him crumbles as his burning desire for him becomes uncontrollable.

Paano kung ang lahat ng pinagsaluhan nila ni Venom ay pawang kasinungalingan lang at paghihiganti sa kasalanang hindi naman niya nagawa?

“Assassinate the Alpha.” His instructions were clear and easy. Easy because it was me. I had taken down strong men and powerful women. Men who never thought they could be taken down. Taking them down was not easy either but again it was because it is me. Men stood no chance where I stood. There are older men and even women in our club. Yet I joined six months ago and I have taken down more than each has in the last thirty years since my father founded the organization. I overheard people in the organization murmur and gossip among themselves that my father trained me differently, but that was where they missed it. My father never trained me. In fact he did not want me anywhere close to the organization. He said multiple times that he wanted a normal life for me. That I am a happy girl with the nature of a sunflower – I was always happy. Which is an absolute contrast to my name if you take out the two latter words.
