Chloe opened her eyes, grimacing as she felt the soreness in her body. The sun's rays beaming brightly through the window made her squint her eyes as she shielded them using her hand. Turning around, she saw the empty side of her bed, Luke was gone, he probably left on the brink of dawn but the traces of what happened to both of them last night were evident on the sheets.
A spot of blood stained the mattress and Chloe wanted to cry out of frustration at her weakness and her miscalculation on how dangerous Luke was. His seduction and charm always made her feel uneasy but witnessing how he maneuvered, bewitching her last night was straight terrifying. She did not even fight harder.
Dahan-dahang bumangon si Chloe at walang pag-aatubilng naglakad patungo sa banyo, she didn’t bother covering her nakedness anymore, she wasn't sure if she was able to get enough rest. She couldn't count how many times Luke had made love to her. As she watched herself in the mirror, her face

Hindi naglaon ay umalis na din ang ina ni Luke, Chloe roamed her eyes around wondering if she should be informing him of his mother’s visit. She does not want to lie anymore so she would need him to deal with the complications on his side of the family. She was pulled back to the present state when she heard Zoie calling her again."Mommy, Mommy! Can I wear my pink dress?" sabi nito habang hinahatak ang tupi ng kanyang damit."Of course, I will fix your hair too so that you'll look pretty," she answered, and Zoie smiled from ear to ear.Chloe was standing in front of the mirror and was contemplating what she'd wear. She does not know where Luke will take them so she wants to make sure that she wears what's appropriate based on the occasion. She went through the closet and thought that wearing something fancy was a bit much so she decided to wear a simple halter body-con neck dress that hugged her flattering figure. She applied light makeup and fixed her ha

When they arrived at their destination, Luke was assisting both Choe and Zoie as they traversed to the building rooftop where the restaurant was located, Chloe thought that it was the longest elevator ride she had ever experienced, each floor seemed to carry them closer to the heavens. The colossal building stretched upward, and Chloe couldn't help but feel a sense of awe looking at the structure. The beautiful glow of the city below was breathtaking. When they finally stepped out of the elevator they were ushered into this expansive space of modern architecture, bath in the natural glow of the moonlight, they were guided to their table and Luke whispered to Chloe. “Do you like the place?” he asked. “Yes, of course, this place is stunning” she commented.

Chloe twirled around in front of the mirror, feeling a bit silly but also incredibly excited. Finally having the opportunity to see her dad was everything she ever wished for. For some reason, Lucille managed to isolate him from the world, even changing his phone number. Sneaking around and warning him of what was coming had become incredibly difficult. But now, being able to go with Luke openly and see him made her feel overjoyed. This day had finally arrived!Chloe decided to wear a red dress that hugged her body perfectly. Since she started carrying Ruby's face, she found herself mimicking her style of dressing especially when there were events she needed to deal with the public, something Chloe wouldn't do regularly.

The atmosphere in the ballroom suddenly shifted as everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the hosts of the night. Luke and Chloe did the same too, watching as David Reyes and Lucille descended the staircase together, greeting guests with smiles and welcome. David was wearing a tuxedo with tailored sharp lines which Chloe knew was Lucille’s choosing, she dressed his dad with designer brands from head to foot, polishing his look for her own display. David never likes the sparkles of clothes and jewelry, he usually wears boring old suits which garners a hefty comment from her stepmother, but tonight they complimented each other’s look which was intentional. Lucille’s gown was a couture of a popular designer; it has a rich navy fabric that has a mesmerizing effect. Her dress flowed gracefully as she walked through the crowd capturing their attention towards her. She also added a massive piece of jewelry hanging on her neck and ears, Lucille

Chloe had been there for almost three hours now, the hair and makeup took a while, mirroring the story that the photographer wanted to capture.

In a cozy hotel bar, Martin sat, his hand wrapped around a glass filled with whiskey on ice. His breathing ragged while he managed the turmoil within him. With each sip, his face savors the alcohol slipping through his throat, warming his body. Napatingin si Martin sa nakahelerang mamahaling mga bote ng ibat-ibang klase ng alcohol sa may estante. In front was the bartender standing there confidently, greeting the other guests and taking their orders. This was the same bar where Ruby and he spent time, away from the prying eyes of other people. This place is superb in maintaining privacy. With the sound of the clinking glass and the subtle laughter from behind him, Martin groaned, he missed Ruby, he missed her scent, the feel of her soft lips. This place brought him sanctuary and memories of everything they planned together. He closed his eyes and remembered the very first time his eyes laid upon her haunting beauty. It was a get-together event in the Ramirez manor, all the business

Lucille received non-stop calls from her publisher about the negative media attention surrounding her clothing line. A nasty comment had gained a lot of traction online, and many people had joined in, amplifying the criticism. Now, things were escalating out of control. Despite having the Reyes surname associated with her business, Lucille's current standing in the industry remained fragile. Her business was still relatively new and unknown. This was the price she had to pay for being the second wife; her credibility was now in question, tarnishing her reputation. She bit her lip, trying to contain her anger at the situation.

She opened the package, curious about its contents and who it was from. But when she saw what was inside, she suddenly threw it aside, her heart pounding louder and louder in her chest. Who would d

When Chloe entered the familiar confines of their house, she suddenly felt a sense of belongingness, ito ang bahay kung saan siya lumaki, lahat ng anggulo ng kanilang mansiyon ay kabisado niya, this was her playground when she was just a little girl. She closed her eyes, greeted by the same scent she was used to. Trailing the living room of their old home Chloe could see the same marble polished against time. It was nostalgic, all her memories came back to life. She just loved the natural light hitting brightly through the massive glass window, she smiled, and they still used the sheer curtains that her father liked. Not much had changed with the furniture and its arrangement, the soft sofa was still there with a cozy armchair that overlapped the window, except for the old coffee table, that was adorned with books and other trinkets, that one was gone, Chloe realized. It’s like time went still from the last time she was here. When she made her presence known at the Reyes mansion she
