C40“GOD!” Heart jolted awake feeling nauseous. She was panting heavily from the intensity of her nightmare. The surroundings seemed unfamiliar, and then she realized they were in a hotel. Rushing to the bathroom, she couldn't shake off the feeling of disgust, almost breathless from the vividness of her dream. It was as if she barely recognized the environment she grew up in. Turns out, they were in a hotel. Sobbing, she ran to the bathroom to throw up. It occurred to her that she had fallen asleep while waiting for her husband's call. Lux, enticed by Silvana, lingered in her thoughts vividly, the two of them enjoying each other's company.Who said she wasn't skilled at giving oral pleasure? She was, with no teeth getting in the way. Damn Silvana! She wiped her tears, realizing it wasn't just a bad dream; it was a nightmare. She stood by the window, witnessing the scenario between Lux and Silvana in her mind.Fists clenched, she turned away from the mirror and left the bathroom. Gl

C42Lux attempted to call Silvana multiple times, but her phone remained unanswered. They were on their way to the hotel where his family awaited, their trip was delayed due to a plane malfunction. Using his pickup, Lux and Delight continued their journey to Oas.Despite Silvana’s threats, Lux was determined not to let her ruin the vacation. He remained vigilant to protect his family. Delight glanced at him, expressing concern about being unable to reach his mom and hinting at a change in her behavior.“I was trying to call your mom, but she was out of reach. Maybe she changed her number. When you see her, stay away from her. Your mom’s attitude has changed.”Curious, Delight innocently asked, “What’s different?”“She’s ill and needs treatment. If she doesn’t see a doctor soon, she won’t get better.”“Will she hit me?”“Yes, so she needs to get better to avoid hurting you. Do you understand?”“Yes,” Delight nodded, “I don’t want Mommy anymore. I don’t want her to hit me and hold me p

C44LUX’s breathing hitched. He doesn’t blink while staring at the impostor. His anxiety is at its peak, reaching up to his head, but he can’t afford a mistake and lose there. He’s damn nervous for his loved ones.His wife is behind him, and he tries to hide her because he doesn’t want her to get hurt. He carefully considers his next move. The crazy one who wants revenge and is using his past against him is right in front of him, dressed in an old lady’s clothes.Silvana is kind of creepy. Well, that explains why she’s a psycho. She probably enjoyed watching killings and horror to weave them together and use them now for revenge.He's sweating, keeping his gaze fixed on her, watching her every move, even the smallest ones. Diana never reached this level. She didn’t even escape the crime she planned. She waited for the police to arrest her. This one is even more than Diana.Maybe half of Silvana Joan’s life is filled with anger. Likely. That’s the root and end of everything.She was fa

C46The doctor looked at Lux as he entered, keeping his gaze on the child who was undergoing a surgery. “Complications may arise if you’re a relative. That is the new study according to HAS.”“I…am not the father, and we’re not related,” he said, his gaze fixed on the child, uncertain if he would make it.“Okay. Pretransfusion testing first. This will not consume too much time.” He nodded and followed as he was pulled onto a bed. There was a distance between him and Delight.Various procedures were done to him while lying on the bed, but his eyes were focused on the child fighting for his life. “Dropping, his heartbeat is dropping,” a nurse said, causing him to close his eyes when he saw Delight’s heartbeat flattened on the monitor.Jesus, no.Lux looked away as he saw the doctors trying to revive Delight. The child looked pitiful, and despite his strength as a man, he couldn’t handle what he was seeing now.It hurts. It hurts so much that even though Delight wasn’t his son, he coul

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.
