"You are the girl of my dreams..." Ross Michael Varga’s marriage, being arranged without his consent, left a bitter taste in his mouth. However, despite his disappointment, he didn’t want to disobey his mother’s wishes. When he was introduced to a gorgeous and charismatic girl, Shenna Villegas, just then, he understood why his family picked her as his wife—numerous men will go to great lengths to win her affection. However, everything took a turn when he met the woman he had always longed for, leading to a complex and perplexing situation, as his younger brother also fell in love with her. Would he move heaven and earth to follow his heart’s desire? * EXCERPT: “Why did you kiss me?” As he stared at her, the girl in front of him had captivating eyes that widened in surprise when their lips unexpectedly met. “I’m sorry. I thought you were…” He was cut halfway when the girl snapped at him. “Kuya Ross, I am your sister-in-law!”
Shenna twirled the syringe between her fingers. She scrutinized Celia and muttered in a mocking tone, "Hah. This looks very effective. Your boyfriend sure knew his toys. I pitied you for being used as his subject."
Celia shot Shenna with a murderous glare, struggling, but she no longer had the strength to fight. She attempts to scream at the top of her lungs; still, no voice comes out of her throat. Instead, gradually, her vision clouded, and she completely lost consciousness.
"Tsk. So weak." Shenna muttered. She stood up from squatting, straightened her back, and then walked toward the steward lying on the sofa. "You can wake up now."
Shenna kicked the man in the leg. At first, he opened one eye to check his surroundings. After he was assured that Celia and Martin had passed out, he opened both eyes and grinned that his act had reached its end.
"Boss!" The flight steward stood and placed his hand on his forehead.
"Good job, Neil." Shenna praises Neil for being her best agent. He was always reliable, no matter what mission she assigned him.
"Thank you, boss! It was such an honor to work side by side with you!"
A radiant smile adorned Neil's face as he basked in the praise of the Butterfly Princess, his idol.
Shenna smiled and teased, "Hah. It looks like you're ready for your next mission."
The guy was thrilled with her news. He replied merrily, "I would be delighted, boss!"
"Good. Now, this is your new mission. I want you to investigate which laboratory created this drug. After that, I want you to notify the HQ to ensure it will stop its distribution." Shenna handed the syringe as she instructed Agent Neil Jones.
"Copy, boss." Agent Jones put the syringe inside a transparent bag as he asked, "Anything else, boss?"
"Yes. This drug has a severe effect. It should be held as soon as possible. Otherwise, innocent people will become victims of these drugs."
"Understood, boss." Agent Jones saluted before he excused himself and gathered all the cameras he had installed in secret places inside the aircraft. After that, he handed them to his subordinate.
"I want the video posted first thing tomorrow morning," Shenna instructed the team's tech nerd, Janus Greene. Hacking into anything is just a piece of cake for him.
"Consider it a job well done, boss!" Janus assured as he played the footage on his computer and began editing the videos, preparing to upload a live-action drama.
"Great. I'll leave everything to you." Shenna smiled at the guy, and then her attention shifted toward Neil. "See you in HQ... I have to visit my sister first."
Shenna exited the aircraft after she gave some instructions to her team. She walked straight to a chopper, waiting for her to get on.
"Where are we headed, boss?"
Shenna did not reply but remained motionless in her seat.
Earlier this evening, she was preparing for her second operation when news reached her. She then ordered her men to gather information and follow Celia's movements.
What a fortunate coincidence that the Mafia Lord they were eyeing was Martin Robel. Thus, she set out an entrapment operation to apprehend him when Celia met him.
To take her revenge on behalf of her beloved sister, she orders her spy to place evidence that points out Celia as Martin's accomplice. She will ensure that her life is miserable twentyfold.
Things are in favor of her. Shenna was assigned to test and trace the new drug that was sold on the black market.
However, she wasn't happy that Yonah had become the bridge that made her mission successful. In the end, her little sister suffered the most.
'Tsk. They might think they can step on us. It would be the greatest mistake that they ever made.' This is how she would retaliate to avenge her family!
"Let's go to Aurora City. I want to see my little sister tonight," she instructed.

In the morning, Aurora City was entirely surprised by the s*x scandal that was posted all over social media platforms. News then circulated online that the daughter of a respectable tycoon was arrested for being involved in narcotics.
Not only that, she passed out while having sexual intercourse with her 'drug lord' lover. It turns out she takes the drugs excessively, which is why the police had to send her to the hospital instead of taking her to jail.
Cora almost had a heart attack after someone sent her several sex videos of her daughter and links to the news that Celia was arrested for getting involved in carrying narcotics.
The article stated that the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement had been investigating Martin Robel for selling drugs in his pub, and so they were gathering evidence to raid the building.
But then someone tipped them that Martin was about to leave the country with his private plane, carrying several pounds of narcotics.
Not only that, as they raided his private aircraft, they found various injectable drugs that were about to be delivered to K City.
A wave of astonishment swept through high society upon learning that Celia Johnston, a revered fashion icon in the country, had been involved in illegal business.
"Oh, my goodness! No wonder she could afford high-end bags and shoes that cost a million each!"
As news spread, Celia became the breakfast food at a cafe, where patrons were all from high society.
"Could you believe that? Her money was actually from selling narcotics!"
"She's a bad influence on the young adults in our society!"
"I concurred!"
Now, everyone has questioned whether Gerald Johnston's business is legal. Some are urging the police to investigate, thinking he was also conducting underground business.
"Are they all insane? How dare they suspect me to get involved with those mafia's?"
His daughter, Celia Johnston, has a reputation in high society because of her fashion sense and her involvement in charity functions. They loved how she dressed and purchased brand items worth millions each. All of that came from his sweat and blood.
However, the police recovered several pieces of evidence. He was in a dilemma about how to prove her daughter's innocence in all the accusations against her.
"I could not believe that Celia is such a wild bitch."
"She's too great pretending to be a demure lady!"
"Goodness! Who in their right mind would film themselves having sexual intercourse?"
"Is that even to be questioned? Celia was on drugs. You are unaware of shameless behavior once you are under its influence."
"That's correct! Still, she's once hailed as the voice of children. But she was actually taking those! Isn't she once said that narcotics could destroy one's life?"
"Goodness, I'm glad I haven't made friends with Celia. I knew she would only bring trouble."
"I knew, right? I never attempted to join her so-called circle of friends. They were all lowly!"
Upon having this chattering, the ladies at the next booth were about to explode, listening to everyone's gossip.
They were none other than Celia's minions—they were following her around and ready to lick her boots so they could attend several exclusive parties of the upper class.
Now that Celia was involved in a scandal, those who used to praise and curry her favors were lashing out at her.
"How dare they! After how Celia helped them out before!"
"I don't believe that Celia would use such a thing!"
"I knew, right? She's health-conscious!"
"But we witnessed how Martin would pick Celia up in a supercar before."
"And he often gifted her high-end brands!"
Celia's friends shared a knowing look. May Celia was their friend, but they don't trust Martin!

"Sir…" At the door, Andrew hurriedly knocked upon receiving the news regarding Celia's scandal.
"What is it?"
"Sir, Miss Johnston was brought to the hospital after she abused the drug. The Bureau of Drugs and Narcotic Enforcement had raided Martin Robel's private plane."
"Martin Robel? His name sounds familiar." Ross contemplates.
"He has several illegal businesses nationwide, sir, so the government has been eyeing his activities."
"And Celia is actually his lover, huh?" Ross tugged the corner of his mouth with disgust. He mused, 'I am right with my intuition that she would bring no good to me!'
He is thankful he never attempted to have a casual relationship with her.
"Yes, sir. According to our men who investigated the Miss Yonah Villegas incident, Celia and Martin plan to leave the country secretly."
Ross raised one brow and said, "Is that so? Hah. It looks like she learned I was searching for her."
"What do you want us to do, sir? Miss Johnston will be imprisoned for possessing narcotics. Are we still suing her?"
"Of course. I don't care about her other cases. What I wanted now was for her to spend her entire life in prison."
"All right, sir. I'll meet with the legal team now."
"Hmm… Oh, Andrew. Have you confirmed what Yonah's favorite flower is?"
"Yes, sir. I've already ordered a bouquet, and it's ready for you to pick up on your way to the hospital."
"Great! I'll double your bonus this month."
When Andrew heard the good news, a smile of contentment spread across his face. He bowed delightedly and thanked his generous boss: "Thank you so much, sir!"
"Hm. Tell the team they will receive bonuses, too."
Andrew was over the moon that their hard work had paid off. Everyone had to pull an all-nighter to please their boss with the task he assigned them. Fortunately, the result was fast. Celia was promptly confronted with karma.
Unbeknownst to them, all this was because of Shenna's quick revenge.
"Alright, you may leave now." Ross dismissed Andrew. However, the guy remained glued to the floor with a questioning stare toward him. Hence, he asked, "Have you forgotten something to tell me?"
Andrew shook his head and replied, "No, sir. I'm just wondering what breakfast you would like me to order."
"Ah, don't bother about it. I'll have my breakfast with Nana. I want you to leave now so I can shower and arrive at the hospital before Nana wakes up."
"Oh, I understood, sir! I'll call the restaurant and ask them to deliver some delicious dishes for Miss Yonah."
"Hah. It looks like you want me to triple your bonus."
Andrew beamed and nodded. He noticed how his boss showed affection for Yonah Villegas.
Well, it's understandable why he dotes on her. After all, she is his future sister-in-law!
Hey, everyone! Hope you are doing well. What a busy week for me! Please enjoy your day or evening. It's a good night for me! Virtual hugs! <3
