Serenity And Zachary

   Nang dahil sa kahirapan at mga hindi inaasahang pangyayari, isa lamang ang maaaring puntahan ni Serenity Mendez–kulungan o simbahan. Makukulong siya kung hindi niya mababayaran ang kanyang mga utang at ito ang pinakaayaw niyang mangyari kahit gumuho man ang mundo. Paano na lang ang kanyang kapatid na may malubhang sakit? Kaya naman, wala siyang ibang nagawa kundi ang pumayag na magpakasal kay Sage Christensen, ang apo at tagapagmana ng kanyang matandang boss, kapalit ng hindi matutumbasang halaga. Pero hindi niya ito basta-bastang makukuha. Kailangan niyang tuparin ang nag-iisang kondisyon ng kanyang pinirmahang kontrata–ang bigyan ng apo sa tuhod ang matandang boss.       Ngunit paano niya lalapitan ang isang malamig at masungit na si Sage kung sa tuwing magkatinginan lang sila ay tila ba gusto siyang balatan nito ng buhay? Ang mas malala pa ay napapansin niyang nandidiri itong mapalapit sa kanya na para bang may nakakahawa siyang sakit. Dahil dito, palaging nauuwi sa away ang kanilang bawat pagtatagpo. Matutupad kaya niya ang nasasabing kondisyon? O mauuwi sila sa diborsyo?     "How much did that old man pay you? I'll triple it, just fucking disappear from my life, Serene." - Sage Christensen

BLURB "Boss, these are the pictures of the lady's face. It's a good thing the hotel's Surveillance camera captured her perfectly." Davis uttered as he placed the file containing the pictures in front of him. With a deep frown on his face, he picked up the file and carefully brought out the pictures. He gasped at the young lady with Grey eyes, plump lips, and platinum blonde hair. She's the epitome of beauty. "I need every information about her by tomorrow. " Tristan Zachary ordered with his voice as cold as ice. "Okay boss " Davis immediately exited out of the well-furnished office. The moment the office door was shut, Tristan stared into space lost in thought. #Flashback# Tristan groaned as he felt so much ache in his head. He managed to sit up on the hotel's bed while gazing around in awe. With the lingering feminine scent that hit his nose, and seeing he was stark naked, Realization struck him hard. He immediately knew a lady was on his bed last night. Due to his drunken state, he couldn't identify the mysterious lady's face. A lady that was an exception from other ladies, Tristan still finds it hard to believe he had gotten that close to a lady without feeling sick. He instantly wants to find the lady and confirm his fears. "Davis" Tristan calls out as the room door was instantly pushed open by his assistant. "Boss" Davis uttered with a bow of his head. "You saw a lady step out of this room right?" He couldn't help the anxiety in his voice. Davis knew his boss has a phobia for ladies, and was taken aback by his sudden outburst.

Tres Salveirus, my gay bestfriend for six years. But one day he confessed that he was 0% gay—that he's only pretending to be because he doesn't know how to court me. My dislike of liars was the reason for the destruction of our friendship. I rejected him on the spot and slapped him with painful words. I called him a liar, a pervert because I once let him see my nudity since I am a model for lingerie brands, and accused him of exploiting my lack of idea about his gender. I actually told him to leave and never come back. But when he left, I was coated with heartbreaks realizing that I loved him too late, missing his presence, that I almost never gave up looking for him on social media but still no avail. It took five years his image is still in my head and I am coated with regret for pushing him away. I never thought that when we meet again, I will see him as an unreachable man. His Tres Salveirus name has now become Third Zachary Salveirus Deluco, reason why I can't search him in any corner of social media. And apart from being the CEO, I didn't think he was a member of the Deluco Titans—the dominant people in the field of business. I know I made a pledge to the eternal god that once I meet him again, I will not miss the opportunity to bring him back to me, but how can I do that if he is that high? I'm just a lowly lingerie bands model while he's a billionaire. Do I still have the courage to chase him?
