Man Behind the Mask
Zyxhiaxy
Everyone was busy the whole week preparing for the big event. I didn't request that my birthday be grand, but Styx insisted. It's annoying because I'm not used to having this kind of event with a lot of people, but I couldn't stop him. They also want to do that to formally introduce me to everyone as the new chairman of the company.By Saturday, my birthday will be held there. I was nervous as hell because I'd meet a lot of people there. Although I am used to gathering, this time the spotlight is on me.I was about to leave the office when I saw Duex knocking on the door.I arched a brow. "What do you need?" I said as I stepped back.He smiled at me and showed me a paper bag. "Lunch?"I sighed before proceeding to my chair. I put down the things to take with me when leaving and sat down. I just watched him while he laid our food on the table. He was serious while doing that."How's the investigation?" I'mRelated chapters
The Sweet Revenge (English) Birthday
ZyxhiaxyThe day passed like a breeze, and tomorrow is my birthday. Styx insisted that we should have a date before my birthday. I didn't refuse because I wanted it too.I just sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at myself. I smile faintly at myself as I try to familiarise myself with my face. I realised that I didn't know myself now. A lot has changed; I'm no longer the old Zyxhiaxy they knew.For years, I refused to look in the mirror because every time I stared at my face, I would just remember those people who once adored my face. Mama used to say that she was ashamed of me. She said she can't bear to be with me every time we go out because people often know right away that I'm his daughter. Mama and I have a lot in common, so I'm not surprised.Styx used to rain kisses there every time before going to sleep, waking up, and until dinner. He never forgets to kiss my face, especially every time he goes to work.I closed my eyes as I felt a tear fall from my eyes. I thought
The Sweet Revenge (English) Trust
ZyxhiaxyThe event began with an introduction. I could barely follow what the emcee was saying because of Styx's arm on my back.I was standing in front of the crowd while holding a mic. I tried to stop myself from smiling, but I failed when I saw Styx in the crowd. His lips rose up as he winked at me."Good evening," I said in a low voice. Everyone's gaze was on me. They were looking at me with their twinkling eyes. I can't believe that the company's other big investors are coming here now. Others came from Russia and New York. I can't believe that this special event was made for me."First, I want to thank our foreign visitors who made it here. Thank you so much for allowing us to have you today."Styx was just gazing at me while watching me speak the whole time. When it was over, they clapped together until I got off the stage. When I got down, I was greeted by Styx's hug. I heard gasps; even though they saw us together a while ago, they still couldn't believe what they were seeing

ZyxhiaxyDuring the whole trip, Duex's words remained in my head.He clearly stated that he was the only one I should trust, and my mind silently agreed. He just talks to me every time he asks me if I want something to eat or if I'm hungry.My mind should not be on the two of them and Styx, and it should be on my son, but I can't help it. I know now that Styx knows about my leaving the country. I filed for leave, so it is unlikely that it will reach him.When the plane we were on landed, the familiar cold air greeted us. I smiled and walked closer to the car that picked me up for the trip."Too excited? Your lips will tear when you smile more."I rolled my eyes at Duex. "Don't you use it?"He chuckled. "Naughty."No one at home knows that Duex and I will arrive here this soon, so I'm restless, and I really want to close the distance between me and my son.The car stopped in front of a large gate. It opened spontaneously when it recognised us, and then the driver continued to drive in

ZyxhiaxyAs expected, Tita Isabel was surprised when I told her that I would take Zenith with me when I returned home to the Philippines. At first, she didn't allow me because she said that Zenith's father might take my son, but when I said that we would live in Duex's house, she allowed and agreed with us.Today is the day of our departure, and Tita Isabel has been crying for a while because she will probably miss my son.My son was also crying while kissing Tita Isabel's cheeks. They've been together for a long time, so I can't blame my son if it's so hard for him to be separated from Tita.I also asked Zenith if he wanted to come home with me, and he agreed without a doubt. I couldn't afford to leave him here again. Even if I say Zenith is in good hands, it's still different if I'm with him."Are you ready, baby?" I asked as I arranged his seatbelt.He nodded innocently. "But I'm a bit nervous because we're going to ride a plane."I smiled at him. "Yes, but Mommy and Tito Duex are

Zyxhiaxy Warning: R18+I quietly drove to Styx's house. It's been three days since he didn't show up for me. There was a chance he entered the office, but I didn't catch him either. I don't know if he is avoiding me or hiding from me. He also doesn't answer my calls, so I'm worried that something might have happened.I rang the doorbell, but no one answered. His big house looks abandoned because not a single light is on. I pressed it again, and I was not disappointed when I saw the man I hadn't seen in a long time. He walked out of their door wearing only a white T-shirt and boxers."Xhia?"I don't know why, but I quickly shed tears when I saw how much he had changed. I noticed the blackness under his eyes and the weight loss in his body.It's my fault; because of me, he has a lot of problems. I thought I would be happy when I saw him miserable, but it wasn't because the pain is worse now."How are you?" I asked as he guide me sat down on the sofa.He hesitated to smile at me and ste

"How many days have I been out of my mind? One? Two? Or has it been a week? I don't know, but I feel different now. Mama always leaves every night and goes home the next morning, which is unusual. She doesn't hurt me anymore, and that's a big thing, but I can't help but feel bothered."Xhiaaaaa!" Aira, my friend, called me. I saw her running from the hallway, so I quickly stopped. The other students looked at me, so I couldn't help but feel shy."Don't scream!" I reprimanded her while hitting her softly.Aira frowned and held out the thick book she was holding. I shuddered and laughed."You're like that because the man from the other department is flirting with you!"I rolled my eyes before proceeding to walk. "Where did you pick up that gossip?"I don't know if this girl is really just a certified gossip or if the news is spread all over the campus. After all, David was always tailing me last week, so I wouldn't be surprised if it spread. He's too famous, so we can't be together; I d
The Sweet Revenge (English) Prologue
Styx Syruis was busy playing with his pen when her secretary rushed into her room. There was a smile on his lips as he realised the news brought by her secretary. He's patiently waiting for her to talk and looking at her with a stern face."Sir, Mr. Antonio Xedler passed away last month, and they tried to hide it, but our team was able to know the news." His face remained blank while waiting for more information from her secretary."I—I already talked to our lawyer and—""Has he already transferred the shares to me?" he asked in monotone. His secretary bowed her head, and her knees started to tremble in fear. She knew that once she spilled unpleasant information to her boss, he would lash out and fire her."N-No, sir. His daughter will—"Her secretary was cut off when someone opened the door, which created a noise inside the room. Mr. Styx Syruis slowly tilted his head to look at the person who had the audacity to interrupt the important conversation, but he got halted when he saw a w
The Sweet Revenge (English) Her Plans
Zyxhiaxy Who knows that this is how it feels to see your enemy almost turn pale while wearing a shocked face? It is kind of satisfying, as well as my favourite moment so far."How's the meeting with the board? You weren't gatecrashing the ongoing meeting, were you?" I rolled my eyes and began smoothly shaking the glass of my wine while a small yet sarcastic grin plastered on my lips."Zy, you have no permission to interrupt their meeting, yet you did," he added."As far as I know, I am now the chairman of the board after Dad passed away. What's wrong with that?" I looked at Duex, who suddenly sat up on my couch and secretly laughed when he saw I was pissed.I took a deep breath and crossed my legs while playing with the ice in the drink. I froze for a moment when I remembered Styx's reaction. It looks like he saw a ghost, but maybe he did. the ghost of his past."Tsk. I'm just concerned about you, babe. What does your beloved husband say?" I almost spit out what I was drinking at the
