It indicated she had received her grades for the first semester’s final exam.Excited, Lush shared the news with her father via video call. “Mommy, going crazy!” he exclaimed.“I supposedly have my grades!” she added, joyfully shifting the camera focus to herself.“Really, baby? Congratulations. Let’s see the grades, maybe around 80,” her husband remarked, chuckling.Nervously, she checked the message from the school and opened the portal to view her grades. Overwhelmed with emotion, she almost cried at the high marks.“My grades are so high,” she exclaimed tearfully. “Just one more semester, and I’ll graduate. I’ll prove something to you,” she told her husband.“Silly you. What are you proving to me? I’m not interested in your diploma or honors,” he replied nonchalantly.“Ih, I want to,” she insisted, making him laugh.“Okay. Congratulations again, baby. I’m looking forward to seeing
SC2“Are you ready to go back to Manila?” Heart happily asked Delight as she entered the hospital room, carrying the permit that allowed them to fly him to Manila. Lumeng, her mother took care of him In Lux’s absence, also smiled.The child nodded and smiled, “Yes, Mommy Heart. Can I go to school with Lush?”“Of course! You’ll go to school with Daddy Vandros! Do you like Daddy Vandros?”“Yes. He’s nice, like Daddy Lux.”“Be even nicer there, okay, dear?”Delight nodded.“Grandpa and I will come. We’ll visit you and Lush,” Lumeng announced while arranging the things left outside the bag.“Yes, Owa,” Lush quickly responded to the elderly woman.Vandros persistently teased them to adopt Delight. They asked the child, and since Delight agreed, there was nothing they could do.He always mentioned that Delight is kind and doesn’t change his expression.It’s sad to think about, but he didn’t want to see Silvana, so when he has recovered from the operation, they’ll provide therapy for him.

SC 3Heart closed her eyes, and a sweet song she often heard on Lux’s stereo filled her ears. She was in her room, recalling her last memory. They had just returned from the hospital a few days ago. She enrolled for the next sem and picked up Delight. He would stay with them temporarily until the legal adoption papers were processed by Vandros.She had been exhausted and slept heavily last night. Lux had been extremely busy in the past few days. She couldn’t fathom what kept him so occupied, but there must have been a lot, considering the tasks he left behind when they went on vacation.“God gave me you,To show me what’s real,There’s more to life,Than just how I feel…”The beautiful song made her open her eyes, and she looked at the bedside table. She felt better today; no nausea or dizziness. Sometimes, anxiety would creep in, making her worry about the baby in her womb, but she knew it was just her imagination.She frowned and lifted her head when she saw a white envelope on t
EPILOGUE A stunning woman in a black miniskirt and a red blouse stepped out of a luxurious car. She is wearing a black blazer, gazing up at a towering building where she will start her work as the CFOO of the company. She graduated with flying colors two years ago, her first significant achievement in life. Graduating summa cum laude was a source of pride for Heart. After receiving her diploma, she studied Finance to master the subject. Though not an Accountant, she passed the exam when applying for her husband’s company. Driving her own car became easier for her than obtaining a license. Through perseverance, she finally learned to navigate her car. Manang Pipa, their new house helper, emerged from the backseat with Love, their one-year-old youngest child. Today marked Heart’s first day at work, and she brought Love along, unwilling to leave the child at home. Lush and Delight attended the same school, though they weren’t in the same class. They discovered from Charles that Delig
THE STORY OF LUSH MONTESALVO .... Lush had a habit of buying a woman. Perhaps he inherited that trait from his father, but he was a bachelor seeking entertainment. He bought celebrities, simple women with decent backgrounds, but a woman came to him and directly offered herself for three hundred thousand pesos. This woman was his employee, and the reason she gave was to redeem a piece of land that was mortgaged in the province. They had been intimate with each other for a month or two until he discovered that this woman was already married to a missing man. ....
Lush Miguel 1 The woman was squirming while Lush Miguel held her head, and he didn't allow his dick to escape from the woman's mouth. They were in a famous hotel and the people there knew him, bringing beautiful and famous women every now and then. Women are his plaything, his toys and his pastime. They're his slave when it comes to bed. He was currently having sex with this woman, whose name on television is Lynch. The girl became known in indie films and took part in TodaMax. It's a site where the show is pornographic and exclusively for adults only. He was producing such shows on this app. It is owned by the Toda network, which also produces several pornographic shows on other platforms. He produces decent and wholesome movies, TV series, etcetera, but behind that clean image, he produces dirty ones, too. He is one of the viewers of TodaMax, and he is a man who is alive and has an active sex life. He doesn’t let a week pass without bringing a woman in a hotel or anywhe
Her mind was drifting as she walked, holding a tray filled with food that cost at least ten thousand pesos per plate. She was directionless after the news that shook her whole being earlier. She almost dropped her cellphone because of it, as she started sobbing in the bathroom.“Your father is in the hospital, fighting for his life!”Her mother’s voice thundered in her ears and continued to echo inside her head. Her father needed five hundred thousand pesos for the heart operation he had in their province of Oas, Albay, while he was pulling the carabao in the fields earlier. She was from Legazpi City, a Bicolana who was forced to go to Manila and stop her college education due to the hardships in life. She was beautiful, if beauty was the criteria, but she lacked the height to compete in beauty pageants, so she never stood a chance as a candidate.If only she was blessed with height, she would probably be able to earn and support herself in her studies. But she was short, standing onl
Chapter 1Heart estimated how her body moved as she opened the door to her manager’s office. A blast of cold air hit her as she entered, courtesy of the powerful air conditioning inside. Along with it came the pleasant scent of her manager’s perfume from the restaurant.Vandros Montero was sitting in his chair, holding a cigarette in his hand. His face had an unreadable expression. And she was on the verge of crying, even before speaking. Heart had barely crossed the threshold of the open door.Vandros looked at her and motioned for her to come in. He remained expressionless. Vandros was a serious person. He didn’t smile and his demeanor was unsettling, but beneath that, he was kind. He never yelled at them or treated them badly. He always spoke to them with respect and professionalism, but in return, he expected their loyalty and dedication to their work, as his true nature might occasionally reveal itself if they don’t abide.Heart did as she was told. She closed the door and sta
