“Ana Mystica...” I turned to Martin, who was organizing my belongings at the hospital. “Is that my new name?” I asked, a smile on my face.He sighed and nodded to me. “You’re no longer Bernardino, okay?” I nodded and turned to face him. “You have a lot more to learn in politics, business, and associations with influential people,” he said. I took a deep breath and nodded.I should listen to him because Martin is an expert in situations like this. This is the beginning of my revenge. Martin coughed to get my attention, so I looked at him again. “Don’t worry, I’ll hire people to teach you everything you need to know,” he said as he approached me. “Paris is there to help you with anything you can learn.” I bit my lower lip and turned away from him.“Isn’t that awkward for Paris? I’m already bothering her at work,” I sighed.I was bothering with Martin’s friends. They cannot manage their time because of me. When he put a scarf on me, I was stunned, so I looked at him, who was also starin

I’m not sure what Martin’s goal is. If he wants to teach me, he shouldn’t do it this way. My hands clenched, but I took a deep breath before returning my gaze to the target.Although it is still a fake, there is a picture of the Villalobos. My fists right away shook as I glanced at the pictures of the Villalobos family pinned to the target.Martin said, “I’ve been watching your shooting practice for a while,” but I stayed silent. “I noticed you were nervous about holding the gun, so I instructed my staff to make a picture of the enemies, so you could focus on what you were doing.”I took a step back and shook my head because I wasn’t ready to see them again, not even in pictures. What is Martin thinking? I’m doing great in training! He no longer has to do this to me!He grabbed my hand, but I evaded him and pointed at him, frightened.“I’m not ready to face them, even with their pictures!” I yelled. And turned away because it made no sense to continue my training.“How can you take re

ANA’s POV(“At the auction, there will be expensive items for sale. Buy the best design and the best accessories, Ana. Don’t lose to those who attended the event today, outdo them. Martin will look after you.”)When I heard Paris speak, I put my hands over my ears. Because I was worried about what was going to happen, I took a deep breath. I know I’ve prepared, but I can’t help but be worried, especially since this is the first task I had.As the event’s host took the stage, the audience applauded. I’m still not sure what he said; all I remember is that he started bringing stuff out to sell tonight. Martin was holding my hand, so I turned to face him.“Don’t worry, Ana; I’ll be by your side, and you’ll remember everything we taught you,” he whispered, so I nodded and cleared my mind of any bad ideas.I spotted one necklace among all the products for sale.“Damn it.”When I heard Martin curse, I lost my attention on the jewelry and looked at him, but he seemed restless. What is going o

CHLOE’s POV“Sir Mateo! You’re back!”“Sir Mateo, how is life in Manila?”“Are you going to run for mayor, Sir Mateo?”When I arrived at the Villalobos mansion, I instantly winced at the sight of people holding and hugging my husband.Have they properly cleansed their hands? They still smell strongly of sweat. Disgusting! I just gripped my child’s hand tighter because they had germs.“Welcome back, Mrs. Chloe!”When they neared, I winced.“She has such a beautiful skin!”“What else would you expect from a rich girl who may inject her skin?”I came to a halt because they were making fun of my skin tone. I approached the hacienda’s two staff members.“What did you say?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at them. They were in a panic because they appeared to be terrified of me and bowed down in front of me.“I-I’m so sorry, Mrs. Chloe.”I only winced and rolled my eyes at them before clinging to Mateo and entering the mansion. When we walked inside, I grabbed some alcohol, since they might hav

THIRD POVTheir honored guest arrived. Everyone was silent, staring at her as she walked… The only sound you could hear was her heels.Her allure captivated all men, young and old. Even the event’s host hesitated to speak. Their visitor couldn’t help but giggle at the reactions of those she passed.She hesitated as she walked past familiar faces from her past. The sight of those who had caused immense damage to her life reignited her anger.“Ms. Mystica,” Martin called out, catching Ana off guard. She continued walking, pretending not to hear.“Please, give a warm welcome to Ms. Mystica!”Ana’s arrival caused the crowd to extend their applause for a few additional minutes. Gracefully, Ana curtsied like a princess while Martin guided her towards the stage.“Oh wow! I recognize her!”“Yes, she’s the one!”“She’s the sole purchaser of the million-dollar necklace!”“Oh my goodness! Is she truly that affluent?”The investors in San Alfonso whispered among themselves, unable to fathom that
