Chapter 1Chapter Spoiler

Pinakinggan niya ang paligid. Napakatahimik ng lugar na iyon. He doesn't like this house. Marami siyang pangit na alala sa bahay na iyon pero iyon naman ang lugar na nais niyang balik-balikan. Nandoon kasi ang alala nila ng ina. Mga alala ng pagkabata niya.

Napamulat siya ng may narinig na ingay. Mabilis siyang napatingin sa kaliwang bahagi. Napa-ayos siya ng tindig na may nakitang babae na nakatingin sa kanya di kalayuan sa kinalalanguyan niya.

"Sino ka? Anong ginagawa mo dito sa mansyon namin?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong sa babae.

Hindi nagsalita ang kaharap. Naglakad lang ito palapit sa kanya. At habang lumalapit ito ay pinag-aralan naman ni Lorenzo ang mukha ng babae. Hindi niya matatanggi na maganda ang babae. Maayos din ang tindig nito. Matangkad ito at napakaganda ng korte ng katawan. Sa suot nitong fitted dress ay talagang nakaka-agaw pansin ang korte at dibdib nito na hindi kalakihan. Napadako ang tingin niya sa mukha ng babae. This woman has an oval shape face that gives a complement to her fearless almond eyes. Napakagandang pagmasdan ang mga mata ng babae na kulay gray. This woman absolutely has a foreign blood.

Napalunok ng wala sa oras si Lorenzo ng tuloyang makalapit ang babae. Doon niya napatunayan na matangos ang ilong nito at maayos ang korte ng kilay. The woman not only have an amazing body but a beautiful face. Nang mapatingin siya sa labi nitong mapula ay biglang may bagay na gumalaw sa ilamin ng boxer shorts niya.

'What's up with me?' tanong niya sa sarili.

She squats down to face him. Napa-atras siya ng mapatingin sa labi ng babae. This woman has a very beautiful full lip. Gusto niyang titigan ang labing iyon pero pinigilan niya ang sarili. Hindi niya kilala ang babae at kung paano ito nakapasok sa bahay ng kanyang magulang.

"Hi! You must be Daniel Lorenzo. Nice to meet you." Inilahad ng babae ang kamay. "I'm Ashley by the way. Kaibigan ako ni Dennis."

Nagsalubong ang kilay niya ng marinig ang pangalan ng kapatid. "Kaibigan ka ni Dennis?"

"Yes! Siya ang kasama kong pumasok dito. He is just preparing for our snacks." Inalis ng babae ang nakalahad nitong kamay.

Alam nitong hindi siya makikipagkamay. Lalo siyang nagtaka sa sinagot ng babae.

'Kailan pa nagkaroon ng kaibigang babae ang kapatid?' natanong niya sa sarili.

Tinalikuran niya ito at lumangoy sa may hagdan ng pool. Umakyat siya at lumapit sa isang beach bed. Kinuha niya ang towel na laging nandoon para sa ganoong klaseng sitwasyon. Madalas kasi silang lumalangoy ni Dennis ng walang paalam kaya nag-iiwan na lang ng towel ang mga katulong.

"Who draw your family portrait?"

Muntik ng mapasigaw si Lorenzo ng magsalita ang babae. Hindi niya namalayan na lumapit na pala ito sa kanya. Napa-atras siya at agad na tinapis ang tuwalya sa kanyang baywang. Napatingin sa kanyang tiyan ang babae. Sa unang pagkakataon ay nakadama ng pagkailang ang binata. Why this woman makes him feel conscious?

"Why are you asking?" Nilampasan niya ang babae.

Mabilis naman na sumunod sa kanya si Ashley.

"Well, I will ask him or her to draw it again. Napakalayo ng mukha mo na nasa larawan."

Napahinto siya at napatingin sa babae. Hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi nito. It's their family portrait. Iyon ang unang larawan nila na magkasamang buong pamilya. His father is not fan of photo or portrait.

"Are you out of yo---"

Naputol ang iba pang sasabihin niya ng sumigaw ang kapatid. Sabay silang napatingin dito. Malalaki ang hakbang na lumapit sa kanila ang kapatid. Hinawakan agad nito sa braso ang babae.

"What are you doing, Ash?" Inis na tanong ni Dennis.

"I just talking to your brother." Sagot ng babae.

"Ashley, please stop! My brother is not like the man you think."

Nagsalubong ang kilay niya sa narinig na sinabi ng kapatid. Gusto niya sanang tanungin ang kapatid kung anong ibig nitong sabihin ng mabilis na hinila nito ang babae papasok ng bahay. Naiwan si Lorenzo na nagtataka. Did his brother finally interest with a woman?

Sino naman kaya ang maswerteng babaeng iyon? Mukhang nabihag nito ang kanyang kapatid. Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya. Now, he wanted to know more about that woman.

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Her fiancé finally uses the opportunity to break off his engagement to her and her father sends her packing to her aunt in another city never to return after she refuses to remove the baby like he asked her to. Seven years later, she returns to the city to claim her position as the heiress of her mother's fortune, which her father and his wife and daughter has been living off of all these years. But not as the overweight duckling everyone expected, but as a stunning, glamorous woman. Behind her are three children: a daughter who looks exactly like her, a handsome son, and another handsome son who looks too much like the most powerful man in the city. Unexpectedly, the dimwit, her fiancé who broke off their engagement comes begging for them to get married like they were supposed to. "So what if you're stunning now and lost all that weight? Everyone knows you used to be an ugly duckling. Who knows the underhanded ways you resorted to to lose weight. Forget our past and marry me again." The woman looked at him and snickered. "Aren't you the heir of the Baker family? Why would you marry a fatso like me?" The man huffed and said arrogantly. "Hmph! Do whatever you want. But I assure you that no one in Silicon Valley will want to marry a woman saddled with bastard children!" The triplets came up on his face and snorted in disdain. "Who's this? Where is daddy when a man like this harasses mommy?” “I told you he wasn’t worth her. Hurry up and call him quickly.” The man who was in the middle of a conference call ended it as soon as he heard the news and went straight to where she was. “Are you hitting on my wife? Bastards? Are you calling the beloved children of Jett Adler bastards?” “Eh-what? Jett Adler? The most powerful man in the city? How is that even possible!”
