Chapter 11Heart felt her hand being held by Lux as they both simultaneously grabbed the car door handle. She looked up at him. She hadn’t expected him to open the door for her on the passenger’s side of his expensive forward car.If Vandros’ car is expensive, how must Lux’s car be? It was different from the car he had brought to the restaurant earlier. Billionaires really lived a different life.The young lady quietly got into the car when he opened the door, saying, “Thank you.”It smelled wonderful again, just like Lux. He got into the driver’s seat and started the car quietly. According to Heart, she should have sat in the back, but she felt too shy to do so. She didn’t want him to think he was her driver.They didn’t talk. She felt extremely awkward. Even if she wanted to speak, what could she say? They didn’t know each other. She had seen Vandros at the restaurant for a while, and she was quite comfortable with that manager, so even if she had to boldly ask for help, she would.

“C13”“FUCK!” a loud curse snapped Heart out of her trance in front of the television. That’s what she heard after the door violently swung open, revealing Lux. “What the f*** is that?” he angrily demanded from his friend, abandoning the visitors he had been talking with a while back.“I don’t know. Lola Carmen supposedly issued the statement,” Vandros replied.“Turn that off!” he insisted, gesturing fiercely at the TV, his mestizo face turning red.She recognized Lux’s anger; he wasn’t the type to get mad like this unless provoked, similar to the incident four years ago with Franco and Diana.Lux glanced at her, and his expression softened. She saw compassion in Lux’s eyes, causing her entire system to melt. She wasn’t crying; she was just stunned and unable to react to what she saw on the TV.Someone was trying to ruin her, and she didn’t know who. Diana was the only one capable of such deception, as that woman orchestrated everything that happened to her before. Diana might pret

C15Heart's mind is filled with thoughts while she prepares dinner. Lush is busy playing with his airplanes, content on the floor, occasionally running and flying the plane. Lux has bought him every type of airplane toy, including one with a remote control that once hit the TV, breaking it.Lush cried a lot, but Lux found it amusing, praising the excellent flying skills. Heart was upset because they wasted the TV, which was worth more than just a few hundred thousand pesos. Lux claimed the TV wasn't durable.Since then, she never let Lush hold the remote control of his toys. He played manually. Although there's a playroom upstairs, he preferred to play wherever she was.When she was a kid, Playrooms weren't common for them. The yard and the living room served as their playing areas, extending to the kitchen.They played and wore out toys wherever they were. They weren't wealthy enough to have playpens or playrooms. Lush seemed to have adapted to playing anywhere, and Lux mentioned be

C17“Where are you going now?” Heart asked when they reached the door of her classroom.Lux looked at her, seemingly thoughtful.“To the office, of course. Where else would your handsome husband go?” He grinned, but inside, he was concerned.He worried that her classmates might continue bullying her.“How did you meet my classmates?” She asked, curious.“Who? Celeste Madrigal, Anelyn dela Peña, Joan Dondonilla, and Jessica Hernandez? Pom-pom girls, they call themselves? They are the thorns in your life causing you stress. I’ll eliminate them.”Heart’s eyes widened, “Eliminate? Oh my. Just leave them be,” she said, but it seemed like he didn’t want to agree.He shook his head. He couldn’t let it go because they might persist in their actions.“Lux…” she said, and he nodded.“Okay, first offense indeed. I’ll go now. I’ll continue the meeting with the franchisees. If you need me, don’t hesitate to call. That’s also Mama’s instruction.”“Okay. Goodbye. Take care,” she said with

C19HEART’s heart skipped a beat when she entered the restaurant and saw Silvana inside. Aiza, whom the woman was talking to, immediately glanced at her when she appeared at the entrance.Her focus was on Silvana.Oh no. What is this woman up to again?Insecurities surged as soon as Heart saw this woman. She didn’t know the reason, but it hit her all of a sudden.She continued walking towards the counter, trying to resist her feelings and casually approached.She caught Silvana’s attention. She couldn’t tell if Silvana was smiling or what. She wasn’t sure if Silvana knew about the rumors spreading.“Oh, here you are!” Silvana exclaimed as if they were close friends. She approached, hugged her, and kissed her cheek.“Aren’t you going in?” Silvana asked cheerfully.She just shook her head, “the exam is over,” she said, glancing at Silvana, “How are you?”Silvana shrugged, and she went to the counter.“Here, moving on.”“Is it really over? It’s a waste of several years.”“He
