Scar Of Summer

Amelia Cruz only wanted one thing — success on her own terms. Matapang, driven, at walang inuurungan, she clawed her way into the corporate world armed with nothing but grit and intelligence. Pero hindi niya in-expect na ang biggest challenge niya ay hindi trabaho… kundi si Adrian Blackwood — the cold, insanely powerful CEO who built his billion-dollar empire with ruthless control. From the moment they met, Adrian made it clear: > “You’re mine, Amelia. Whether you fight it or not.” Bound by a contract na hindi lang tungkol sa business, Amelia suddenly finds herself trapped in Adrian’s dangerous world — full of power, obsession, and desire. Habang lumalalim ang relasyon nila, mas nagiging delikado ang laro. May mga inggit na executives na gusto siyang pabagsakin, a powerful family that wants her gone, at isang rival CEO na handang ibigay ang kalayaang hindi maibigay ni Adrian. Pero mas nakakatakot pa sa lahat — ang mga sikreto ng nakaraan nilang dalawa. What started as a battle of wills turns into a war of hearts. Amelia must choose: isusuko ba niya ang sarili sa empire ni Adrian, o ipaglalaban ang kalayaan niya kahit kapalit nito ay siya mismo? At si Adrian — a man who can control everything except love — will have to face one truth: Without Amelia, his empire means nothing. In a world where love can be as dangerous as power, one question remains: Will their desire build an empire… or burn it to the ground?

“W-what a-re you...what are y-you doing?” She stutters as he pulls her even closer to him. Balancing herself, she puts her hands on his shoulders while looking up at him as he smirks seeing how flustered she looks but he doesn't miss the fear in those grey eyes that leave him speechless everytime he looks at them. “I'll come back for you.” He said. Lisa can't even respond as he kisses her, she kisses him back but pulls away almost immediately, she pushes him away. She can't believe she just kissed another man who isn't James in their home. She doesn't even know him. He smirks and grazes his finger on his lips while looking at her. “Next time I kiss you, you won't be pulling back.”

"Ah... go easy, my husband is calling." My cheeks flushed bright red as I grabbed the phone and accepted the video call. On the other end, my husband, Trevor Chambers, stared intently and began rattling off a list of instructions. He was completely unaware that just out of view, a young man's head was busy nuzzling between my thighs.

She lowered her eyes, not being able to look directly into the eyes of his crush. Matthew however no longer felt embarrassed and in fact lifted Martha’s face by her chin and implanted a deep kiss on Martha’s glossy lips. The kiss lasted for not more than 10 seconds and it was Martha who had backed out of it. As quickly as she withdrew herself from the kiss, she made quick steps towards the encampment and after a few steps, she stopped and turned behind to Matthew “Let’s get back to the encampment or other might get worried” As she lost the sight of Matthew after turning back and walking towards the encampment, a smile made its way on Martha’s lips since deep inside, she was melting like a hot chocolate by remembering the tender way in which Matthew had lifted her chin and kissed her. On the contrary, Matthew panicked as he believed he made a mistake by kissing Martha without her consent. He quickly followed up with Martha when they were just a few meters away from the camp, fearing if she would blurt out everything in front of others. He couldn’t even muster up the courage to talk to her and chose to leave everything on fate. They reached the camping venue, much to Matthew’s surprise; Martha acted very normally in front of everyone but constantly avoided taking a look at him, let alone talking to him.

I nodded, holding back tears, but deep down, I knew Jeffrey harbored resentment toward me. He blamed me for his shattered relationship, my inherited wealth, and for coming between him and his first love. Nothing could deter him from pursuing her, not even me.

It was only then that he began to regret everything…
