"Here it is! I literally fell off my bed when I received a call from our new companion for today's interview with Mami Vic! After all the accumulated grudges I had against her—for finally! Finally, she thought of checking up on me after three years! She is the star of CBN production and a veteran actress famous for her starring roles in many movies and teleseryes! Let's welcome her with a thunderous applause and cheers—Serena Laurel!!"Wearing a sparkling white dress that reached my knees, my hair neatly curled, and simple but clean makeup, I emerged from the backstage of the studio with a sweet smile.Loud screams and applause greeted me, which were both deafening and painful to the ears. But I also couldn't help but be delighted. That kind of screaming and applause was something I hadn't heard in a long time. I admit, I missed the feeling of being embraced by it.This feels nostalgic! I waved to the audience, and they started buzzing with excitement."Oh my god! You look like an ang
"Aaah! Oh my god!" Mami Vic stood up and composed herself. "Please, escort Mister Ezekiel De Silva on this stage to join us! Oh my god! I never expected this! I wish you had told me so I could prepare myself and the studio for the proper treatment of a De Silva, Serena!"I laughed. "It's alright, Mami Vic."What can I say? Ezekiel De Silva is a respected man who must never disappoint. Even amid the issues, he should be served well."OH.MY.GOD!!" Mami Vic covered her mouth as Ezekiel emerged from backstage.He was wearing casual attire—a white polo and black trousers—but his accessories and overall appearance screamed wealth. From his watch, necklace, and ring to his shoes, you could immediately see the sparkle from afar.But the main reason the audience inside the studio screamed once again was his perfect appearance. You would think he was a foreign artist and model, but he was just a businessman."If Serena Laurel is an angel who descended to earth, her husband is a Greek god in hum
"AAHH!!!" Another vase flew through the air and shattered against the wall, scattering shards everywhere."Raquel, calm down—"Brantley's head snapped to the side as Raquel's palm forcefully struck his cheek, attempting to approach and calm her down amidst her rampage."Shut up!! How am I supposed to calm the fuck down, huh?! Fuck it!! Fuck!! How can they already be made out? How did that happen? Serena isn't the type to forgive and surrender to him! Ezekiel isn't the type to lower his guard!! Why the fuck did this all happen before I could even make a move?!"Raquel nearly pulled her own hair out in intense anger and frustration, not knowing who or how to direct it. So when Brantley tried to calm her down again, he received more slaps and blows."It's your fault! It's all your fault for being so slow! They already found their son, the heir of De Silva! What can we do now?! You can clearly see how well they present themselves in front of the camera! Ezekiel would never do something so
"RAQUEL! Raquel, wake up! Get up!"Raquel's face scrunched up as her eyes opened wide from the strong shaking of her body."What the heck is your problem, Mom?" Irritated, she sat up in bed, covering her exposed chest with the blanket, while Brantley continued to peacefully sleep beside her."Hurry up and get dressed! Ezekiel and Serena are here!" Her mother's voice carried a mix of panic, fear, and concern.Raquel's drowsy eyes fully opened at the sound. "What?! They're here?!""Yes! I let them into the living room! They're waiting for you; they specifically asked for you!"Her body suddenly turned cold. Intense anxiety thumped in her chest. Her mind went blank, but various scenarios quickly raced through her thoughts.Why are they here? Do they already know about me? What are they going to do to me?No! This can't end just like this! After all the sacrifices she made just to reach this position, she can't let Serena bring her down so easily!"What are you still doing, dear? Hurry up,
"Is the food to your liking, SERENA?" Auntie Elizabeth asked me.Unlike the last time I saw her, she was treating me nicely now, as if nothing had happened before.But even so, she's not a good enough actress to hide her true feelings behind that awkward smile."Yes, Auntie, I'm not picky with food, so anything you serve is fine with me. Sorry we didn't inform you that Ezekiel and I were coming here.""This is my father's mansion, so we're entitled to visit anytime we want, wife," Ezekiel quickly responded."Is that so?" I raised the corner of my lips. "We're not being rude right now, and we're eating here too?""No worries. The money being paid for all these foods came from my father, which I inherited already," he said, stating a truth that we all knew Tita Elizabeth wouldn't want to hear.She pretended to laugh even more. "As long as you enjoyed the food, then it's fine. Just keep eating."A considerate mother-in-law doesn't suit Auntie Elizabeth at all. Maybe I'm just used to her m
Ezekiel was left in a state of panic while still holding Serena's hand as she was being rushed to the emergency room."S-Serena, please hold on... Wake up, please!" Tears streamed down his face, falling from his eyes onto his cheeks.He tried to talk to his wife, even though she was unconscious. Her eyes remained closed as she lay on the rolling bed. Red liquid continued to flow down her face and body.As he observed, the sobs escaped from his throat. His chest tightened, making it harder and harder for him to breathe. His stomach churned, weakening his body."Sir, you can only go this far; we'll take care of her from here," a female nurse said, stopping him from entering a room.He stumbled to a halt, watching Serena being taken into a room with the nurses, until the door closed.He lost himself, leaning against the nearby wall, drawing strength from it to keep himself from collapsing onto the cold cement.This is the first time he felt his whole body trembling in fear and great anxi
"PAPAAA!" Duziell's deafening scream greeted Ezekiel as soon as he stepped through the mansion's door.He saw him break free from Haleanna's arms and take small steps towards him.He quickly picked him up and embraced him tightly, still covered in chocolate stains on his lips."Where's mama?" he asked angrily, his voice filled with concern.His lifeless eyes brightened a little as he stared at their son. His heavy chest finally breathed a little more comfortably. He wiped off the traces of chocolate at the corner of Duziell's lips."Did you eat chocolate?" he asked softly, the redness and swelling of his eyes still evident."Yes!" Duziell, being too young to notice his father's current state, replied. "I ate a looot of ccocolate!""Too much sweets is bad for your teeth. I won't allow it anymore if one day you suddenly experience a toothache," he said, his voice slow and hoarse."But I never had cocolate before!""It's chocolate, not cocolate. Say it.""Cocolate! It's cocolate!" Duziel
From his high office in his company, Ezekiel observed the unfolding drama with a calculating gaze. Elizabeth, his stepmother, had risen to power in the company under the influence of her late father. He witnessed how she manipulated her way to become the president of the company, using her cunning and deceit to secure her position. But now, he will no longer turn a blind eye, as he finally has a reason to act. A pest within his territory must be eliminated.So when the news of the employees' lawsuit against Elizabeth reached his ears, a sinister smile played on his lips. He saw it as the perfect opportunity to expose her true nature and regain control over his father's company, which rightfully belonged to him."It's time to expose Mother's deceitful ways. The employees' lawsuit is the perfect opportunity to reveal her true colors and reclaim what is rightfully mine," he said to his secretary, Nathan."Sir, are you sure about what you're going to do? Miss Elizabeth De Silva gained her
