She nervously bit her nails as she endlessly pondered what the plan might be. Then, like a struck of lightning, it hit Mrs. Simons. She remembered what Pedro had said before. That there was someone Maya trusted more than anyone in her life and that no matter how many heartbreaks and tears she cried, she would still trust that person in a heartbeat.
No way. Mrs. Simons thought, could it be the Alexander Maya told me about? There’s no way! Panicked and a little rushed, Mrs. Simons called the airlines to delay Alexander’s flight no matter what it takes.
Mrs. Simons had forgotten about Maya as she was leaving, but suddenly, Maya saw her dashing and asked, “Mrs. Simons? Is everything all right?” She was really worried for the old woman and afraid that she would have an accident just like the first time that they had met.
Upon hearing her voice, Mrs. Simons suddenly flinched and replied with a forced smile, “Oh, Maya, ye

Alexander had already arrived in Russia hours ago, Pedro’s people assisted him, and after a while, he finally settled in. He replied after a long sigh, “Pedro, I just arrived here, and you’re already calling me non-stop. What? What do you want?”“I specifically told you not to leave the hotel.” Pedro protested, “What if Stephanie saw you? My sister would throw a fit. What about Sam? Did you see him already?”“No. I’m being cautious as you asked me to.” Alexander rolled his eyes, “I got hungry, so I’m out to buy some food.”Alexander ended the call and went to the nearest restaurant he could find, which was coincidental, Oli’s restaurant. Alexander casually sat down and ordered some coffee and light salad. Oli, seeing a new customer, politely approached him to be a VIP member, “Hello, Mr.-“Oli was cut off as she saw Alexander. Oli’s jaw dropped to t

Stephanie was suspicious of the girl and could not help but asked, “Why are you defending her, Sam?”“I just told you.” Sam said as his eyes rolled. He then smirked and said, “She’s my girl.”Alexander then remembered what Sam told him through the phone. He teased, “Oh, is she the same girl you said you were going to win through the phone?”“Hey, shut up!” Sam mouthed softly to Alexander while subtly kicking him, “Shut your mouth!”“Oh, is she another one of your toys?” Stephanie asked.“Hey-“ Sam shouted, but before he could say anything more, Sally stepped hard on his feet and ran away. Sam groaned in pain as he shouted, “Sal-“He stopped after he realized he had almost said her name out loud. Sam cleared his throat, glared at Alexander and Stephanie.Alexander said, “What? That’s payback for telling Stephani

Alexander continued to nonchalantly eat his breakfast as he continued, “Are you done? Can I at least enjoy my food without you? You know I hate noise.”Stephanie snapped as she sarcastically replied, “Oh, you hate noise?”Then, out of the blue, Stephanie grabbed the plates and dropped each one on the floor, breaking them like a crazy woman. Oli tried to stop her, but Stephanie threatened, “If you take another step closer, I’ll shut your whole restaurant down. Don’t test me, Oli.”“Stephanie.” Alexander glared, “Stop this nonsense.”“Years, Alexander! Years. I’ve loved you for years! Do you have any idea?” Stephanie, who usually hated it when her clothes got dirty, did not seem to mind the food stains that got on her dress each time she dropped a messy plate on the floor.The customers ran away, scared and all. Oli tried to compensate them and console them.

As the only daughter, Stephanie was spoiled ever since she was born. She took everything for granted, and she used all their father’s money just so she could buy all the latest trends and clothes. No one ever batted an eye, and Stephanie liked getting everything.She became a materialistic woman. Whatever her parents lacked- be it sincere compassion, love, or attention, they made it up through money. Stephanie’s brothers too spoiled her, mostly because they were not at home.Both Pedro and Pete were rarely at home, and they did not like being there- it was not exactly home for them. Both their parents looked at them nonchalantly and treated them like possessions or some sort of living investment.So, in their guilt, they spoiled Stephanie by giving her what she wanted but never what she truly needed.With their absence, Stephanie shouldered it all. As perfect, composed, and spoiled as she looked on the outside, Stephanie endu

“I thought I was here just because you feared what Stephanie might do?” Alexander raised an eyebrow, “Why didn’t you tell any of these things before?”Pedro locked the doors as he suspiciously and cautiously looked around. He said in a soft and low voice, “Because we’re dealing with the most powerful family here. I couldn’t have anyone acting too rashly or recklessly. I need you to stall Maya as long as you could and make sure no one would notice what I’m scheming.”“Just who exactly is Maya’s real family?”Pedro took a deep breath, “Maya’s mother was the late Kate Simons- the only legitimate daughter of the old Duke who owns Greenwillow brand – the top tier brand in our society. Simons are the elites of the elites.”“Then that would make Maya the sole heir of it all.”“Exactly, and Mrs. Karin Simons obviously don’t

“Well, this practically happened because of what you said earlier, Alexander.” Pedro reasoned out, “Sam really likes Sally, so this is on you.”“Hey, how is that my fault? He was the one who said that.”“You’re not my price, Sally, and this is no game to me.” Ryan said to Sally, “How naïve can you be, or are you just pretending not to know?”“You want me to trust you?”“Yes,” Sally replied confidently.“Okay.” Sally continued, “Tell me, as you arrived here in Russia after you met me, did you do it with some other girls? Last night where were you? This morning? Aren’t you with someone else? Some other prices to add to your collection of girls. Wait, you don’t have to answer. The hickey on your necks says everything.”Sally walked away after she said, “Next time if you’re going to end

Ryan said, “I know, but if you can’t trust them, at least trust me. That’s the whole reason why Pedro told me about it. He knew you wouldn’t trust him nor Alexander, but everything- and I mean everything that Pedro does and will do according to his plan is for Maya. To protect her is the goal.”“Protect? Is she in some sort of trouble? Is it Stephanie? Has she been threatening her?” Sally worriedly asked, acting as the mother of the group, “Is Maya okay?”“Maya is okay for now, but there’s someone even more powerful and a bigger threat to her right now compared to Stephanie,” Ryan said as little as possible because he knew Sally was quick to pick up. He knew Sally would immediately catch on with enough hints.Pedro specifically told Ryan not to get Oli and Sally involved, especially Sally, since she was the princess hiding from everyone. Mrs. Simons’ words would be enough to d

Stephanie never wanted to hate her as much as she does, but she can’t look at Maya without getting envious and insecure about having the things she wanted the most. She hated how easy it was for Maya to get Alexander’s love and Pedro’s attention- something that Stephanie had to work hard for, something she had to be perfect to deserve.Stephanie could not help but feel as if Maya was taking everything from her because she was.The loud music played in her room, masking her tantrums and all. She’s had a few drinks or so, which made things far worse. Stephanie had thought about barging to where Maya as―if she knew where, and just make a mess. She wanted Maya to feel at least half of what she does.It was too painful and too much even for Stephanie. She wanted to run to someone to save her from all that she was feeling, but where did she run to? Who does she run to when she has no one?Alexander was the only one who ever saw her. He w
