'Serena, I hope this letter finds you well. I miss you so much, and there's no word that could describe how I'm heartbroken right now, knowing Ezekiel kidnapped you while guessing what actually happened between you and Brantley. Don't worry. Now that I've seen you again, I won't allow you to be mistreated in there. Danilo told me about your situation, and if I could, I would rush there and cause a scene! But no, I have a plan. I will make sure you can get out of there alive and that my crazy brother will never find you again! Please take care of yourself while I'm executing our plan. I love you so much, and I miss you!'I almost cried reading Raquel's heartfelt letter to me.There's no doubt; I'm reading her handwritten letter!I received her letter in less than two days. Due to the unexpected incident of Ezekiel forbidding me to throw away the trash, Danilo and I came up with a plan.Every Friday and Monday at quarter past eight, I leave the letter near the garden. He immediately pick
As Davina mentioned, Ezekiel still hasn't returned to the mansion.So, I was locked in the basement for almost a whole day. I only got out when a mechanic came to retrieve some items. That person was surprised to see me.I also didn't leave my room for the whole day because I was still recovering from fear. I couldn't even deliver my letter to Raquel, which was supposed to be taken by Danilo yesterday."Just because I'm not bothering you doesn't mean you can just stay comfortable in your room, Serena! Hey!" My door was loudly pounded. "Open this door if you don't want me to break down this entire place!"Barbara's voice was disturbing. She kept knocking on the door repeatedly, to the point that it might break.Reluctantly, I got up from the bed and walked to open the door."Why?" I asked without any enthusiasm, looking at Barbara's angry face."What do you mean 'why'? Do you think you can act like a señorita here?! I let you stay locked in that room yesterday, but don't expect that yo
"Take a quick shower, and let's have breakfast."I wiped away the sleep from the corners of my eyes and looked at Ezekiel, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, fixing his polo shirt."Okay." Well, this is the first time he offered me breakfast after sleeping with him.Reluctantly, I got out of bed, feeling sore all over. I immediately headed to his bathroom to freshen up and get ready.We had breakfast on the terrace of his room. The food was already prepared on a small table, with only two chairs facing each other.I wonder who's the unluckiest woman to ever sit here and deal with him.I sat across from him. As he started eating, I finally picked up my spoon."Are you taking the vitamins I gave you last time?" he asked me coldly.I nodded without looking at him. "Mm.""Then, why are you not gaining weight?""I don't know.""Tsk! We'll have to take a look at that after my business trip," he said. "I'll come back after a week. Make sure that you gain at least two to four kilos."I fr
Intense anxiety and fear consumed my entire being. Raquel's face was contorted, clearly showing the pain she was experiencing."Raquel!!"I quickly caught her as she fell, and we both sat down on the cold pavement.Gunshots rang out one after another! I turned around in confusion and saw that Raquel's men were engaged in a firefight with another group of armed men."Miss Raquel!!" Danilo approached us with fear in his eyes. His eyes quickly turned red with tears as he rushed to Raquel's side."STOP!" Raquel shouted with all her might. "Put all your guns away!! Ezekiel!!"I froze. Cold sweat started to form on my forehead.At Raquel's shout, the gunfire ceased, and an eerie silence fell over the area.In an instant, the joy I had felt earlier turned into intense fear. Reluctantly, I looked in the direction Raquel was staring at and saw Ezekiel stepping out of a black car.My heart raced as I struggled to catch my breath.He walked towards us, seemingly floating above everyone else.Con
EZEKIEL actually knew and predicted it all. For him, Raquel and Danilo were just pawns on his chessboard, to make Serena settle with him for the rest of their lives.He allowed the three of them to plan and escape, just to see how far they would go.From the moment Raquel came into their family, he had a bad feeling about her. But now, his dislike for her has tripled because of her interference in his and Serena's relationship.Why is she even close to his eyes? Since he married Serena, she has been stealing his attention, and they even have a better relationship.The bond didn't break when Serena left, and Raquel still offered to help her escape.If Raquel was the reason Serena escaped before, along with other men, it won't happen again.He has neither affection nor feelings for his adoptive sister, so he's confident he can turn her down at any moment. He was just restraining himself because Serena is too emotional; she might commit suicide if she knew someone died because of her.See
"SERENA, sir Heskel is calling for you.""Yes,"Panying glared at me. I ignored her and just fixed my uniform before leaving the room."It's really annoying! Because you escaped, I'm the one getting irritated! I have to report everything you're doing here to sir Heskel! I'm even better than your assistant, damn it!"Panying complained as she walked alongside me.She was so irritated that she couldn't help but pinch my side."Damn it! More work, I already have so much to do here! You really don't spare us, do you?"I tried to distance myself from her as we walked, feeling like my skin was peeling from her pinches.I couldn't retaliate because I was the one who tried to escape last week. Instead of fighting back against Panying, I chose to stay quiet and avoid confrontation.Until we reached Ezekiel's room, that's when she stopped bothering me.She knocked on the door. "Sir Heskel, Serena is here.""Come in."Luckily, this time no other woman came out of his room, unlike before.I wonde
The cold breeze continued to sweep over my body as the windows and terrace of Ezekiel's master bedroom remained open."Hold me tight," he whispered seductively in my ear.I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck as he commanded.We quickly captured each other's lips, even though our mouths were filled with saliva, my throat remained dry and thirsty."Oh, Serena... you just don't know how dazzling you are," he praised, making my heart skip a beat."Dazzling? Even with the lights off?""Yes," he said firmly.I still don't know why he's acting like this. But I don't want to question him and make him upset.I swallowed. I didn't know how to respond because I was used to his praise."Serena," he trailed his lips from my lips down to my neck.I shivered every time I felt his bites and suckling on my neck. The sensation was so pleasurable, especially combined with the effects of the chocolate I ate.While his lips were busy trailing down to my plump breasts, his hand was busy tearing apart
"Ever since she arrived here, so many people have been affected! First, it was Barbara and Davina, even though it was her fault because she's a thief! Then Auntie Oprah got kicked out. Danilo just arrived, but she already flirted with him and caused trouble. And she even gives headaches to Panying! What will happen to this mansion?""She's like a termite, that woman! Look, next thing you know, there won't be anyone left!""Oh my! It's already hard to find a job these days! What will I feed my children if I get caught up in that woman's mess?""It's better not to get involved if you don't want to get in trouble!"I continued washing the dishes while listening to the conversations of the three housemaids in the dirty kitchen.It's amusing how they treat me as if I'm deaf, pretending not to hear them, or maybe they intentionally want me to overhear."Can you believe it? Auntie Oprah has been here for years, and Sir Heskel just kicked her out like that. What will happen to us newcomers?"
