As the son goes down, Keisley Montenegro, Sherly’s second brother, who is both lively and outgoing, arrives at her school to pick her up. This wasn’t on her schedule, but since it was her brother, she did not refuse. After all, even though she had her own car, she refused to use it. Why? She felt that it would only give her trouble. She doesn’t like that kind of trouble.
Keisley saw a lot of students, and she saw Sherly at the entrance of her university, talking to a woman. Just looking at it, even though he is an outgoing person and loves to have fun, he could still see that his sister hates this woman. Of course, he knows why. After all, this woman has been all over the news as the daughter of a businessman in the country.Sherly smiled when she saw Keisley get out of his ordinary car. However, even though he is still using his ordinary, outdated car, his face still can’t be ignored. After all, Keisley is really a handsome man. Keisley grinned, ready to tease her about her day. He always does this to piss her off, but she always answers him wittingly and cunningly, like his father. He could see the resemblance between his sister and his father. It gives him chills.His lovely, dear sister is picking up his father’s bad personality; he wanted to cry.Keisley leaned against his car and waited for Sherly to walk towards him. He knows what kind of person his sister is. No matter who they are, they won't let other women near him. Especially someone she hates. Thus, when Sherly arrived in front of him, when they started teasing each other, in the midst of their laughter, someone came towards them. It was the woman whom Sherly talked to.‘What was her name again?’ Keisley thought. However, he didn’t think about it too deeply. After all, she’s just a nobody.“Hey, Sherly,” Elisia called Sherly, and this made Sherly frown. After all, she had already said goodbye to her.‘Why is she still sticking her nose here?’ Sherly thought that this woman, Elisia, was annoying.“Hmm?”Elisia smiled suggestively, which made both Sherly and Keisley raise their eyebrows. Especially when they saw that her smile was playing with her lips.“I heard you have a handsome brother; care to introduce me?”Sherly startled. This is the first time someone has boldly asked her to introduce herself to her brother. This isn’t the first time someone wants her to introduce her brother, but asking boldly is.Sherly, as always quick with her words, stared at Elisia, arching her brows, and gave her a sly grin. She doesn’t like it when someone is trying to get themselves close to her brothers. Thus, she needed to give this woman a reason to hate her so that she wouldn't be able to do this again.“Well, Elisia…” Nodding her head, she agreed, “I indeed do have a handsome brother. However, I must warn you: he has a very rare talent, you know?”Elisia’s eyes twinkle. “Rare talent?"She asked.Sherly nodded her head. “Yes, talent. Well, as you can see, he has a talent for turning charming moments into awkward ones. You’re not someone who could handle awkward moments, right? Still interested?”Elisia isn’t one of those intelligent ladies. However, she still has a talent that could tell whether someone is making fun of her or making her a fool. Thus, hearing Sherly’s words, she could tell that this woman had no intention of introducing her brother to her.Keisley chuckled, appreciating his sister’s ability. Of course, he loves her for being like this. He could still remember when they first saw her. When they first showed her attitude in this way, it made them feel like they wanted to care for her more.Seeing how his sister handled this kind of situation, Keisley smiled and said, “Shall we go?”Before Elisia could answer, Sherly waved her hands goodbye. “Bye.”Sherly and Keisley walk towards Keisley’s car. When they finally got inside, Sherly couldn’t help but sigh. However, her eyes were full of mischievousness. “Oh goodness. Perks of being a charming Montenegro, my dear brother, Keisley,” she teased, looking at her brother. “Now, let’s get out of here. Let's go before they all bombard me to be their matchmaker.”Keisley Oly laughed and drove the car away from Sherly’s university.Everyone knew Keisley; after all, even though he is easygoing and loves to party, he was still at the top of his batch. No one could replace him as number one. That’s one of the reasons why they all love him. He’s different from their eldest brother.“So, where are we going?” Sherly asked, looking curiously at her brother.“Kyle asked the two of us to visit him. After all, he couldn’t even leave his office.”Sherly laughed loudly. “He’s getting more and more like dad,” she commented.After the long drive, they finally arrived at their brother’s company. At such a young age, Kyle Montenegro, a serious person, became one of the most renowned businessmen in the business world. His cunning personality was the main reason why he could reach the heights he had right now. With his father as his backer, it could boost up more.When the receptionist saw the two of them, they needed no words. The receptionist immediately gave them a VIP pass wherein they could come and go to wherever part of the company. Since the receptionist knew that they were their chairman’s siblings, they did not really need a pass. However, for the purpose of the procedure—to know who, when, and how many people visited—they needed a pass. It was for security purposes as well. Thus, Shirly and Keisley did not say anything about it.They took a special elevator and stopped in front of an imposing double-door office. From where they were standing, Sherly could imagine his brother’s face right now. Dwelling with a lot of paperwork, she could tell that he'd snap out at any moment.Kyle Montenegro, the eldest son of the Montenegro family, is a serious businessman. He is different from his father, but someone else is the same as well. From a very young age, he told his father that he’s not going to follow his footing, and it was Keisley that would go to politics. With his outgoing personality, it was impossible, but no one saw how he worked.Sherly looked at his brother, Keisley, amused. “Remember this, big brother Keis: when we step into Kyle’s domain, humor is appreciated, but please, please, big brother, do it lightly, okay? You know what kind of person our eldest brother is.” Then she hugged herself. “Wow, I feel like we’re going to enter the lion’s den,” she joked.Keisley grinned. Of course, he knows what he should and shouldn’t do. After all, he’d been with his brother for as long as he lived. Thus, it isn’t an issue at all. Also, he acknowledges the unspoken understanding between themselves.They looked up and saw that there’s a name engraved on the double door. “Kye Montenegro, Chairman.”Upon entering Kyle’s office, they could easily find Kyle immersed in a stack of documents on his table. The glow of the sunset from his big glass window reflects inside his office. When Kyle felt that there was someone in his office, he looked up and saw his brother and sister in front of him.Immediately, his serious and formal expression changed and became different. It seems like he’s not the ruthless businessman that everyone talked about.“Sherly, Keisley,” he greeted. His tone wasn’t like that of a businessman at all. “What are you guys doing here?” he asked.Sherly knew that after a long time of being in this office, he finally did not remember that he was the one who wanted to see them. Unless it was the secretary who told him, since he’s having a hard time in his office.Sherly, as always, as quick as she is, replied to his brother’s words with a smile. "Well, I just thought you were so busy and unable to leave this den of yours. Thus, we’d grace you with our charming presence, big brother Kyle.”Seeing how much his sister teased him, Kyle raised an eyebrow. His serious demeanor can now't be seen. However, his voice softened and had a hint of amusement. “Charming, indeed.” Nodding his head, he went to the single sofa. “So, what’s the real reason for this unexpected visit?” he added.Sherly leaned against the edge of Kyle’s desk while Keisley sat down on one of the single sofas as well. Sherly said, “We’ve got some matters to discuss, big brother.” When she stared at her brothers, she laughed. “Just kidding. We’re only here to catch up.”With that, the three started to talk about their lives. Because of Sherly’s brother’s busyness, it was really impossible for her to be with them for twenty-four hours. Especially their fathers, who almost live outside because of various projects he is trying to accomplish. It made Sherly a little lonely, but in the end, she understood everything.After the meeting that happened at Kyle’s office, the Montenegro siblings dispersed in different directions. They have different appointments; thus, they have to be parted from each other. They are all reluctant, but they couldn’t do anything about it. Kyle remained confined to his office, surrounded by the papers that demanded his immediate attention. Kyle made his way to his father’s office since he had something to discuss with his father personally. Even though the meeting time and visiting time with his father are already over, he could still come and go as his reason is valid.Meanwhile, Sherly, on the other hand, decided to return home. After all, her brothers both pushed her to go, and she lived at the villa with them. If she did, they would surely go home all night. They won't let her alone in the villa. Thus, this made Sherly decide to go and have a look. She also had something she needed to go and look at.The Montenegro Villa is one of the most luxurious villas in a high-e
The reason Keisley was not swayed by his mother’s words is because they don’t have a strong bond. When both he and Kyle were young, they thought that their mother was so busy. Kyle knows from the start that his mother isn’t the same as the other mother. However, it wasn’t for Keisley. When Keisley was young, he wanted his mother to look at him. However, she never did. It happened not only once, twice, or multiple times. In the end, Keisley gave up.When he was finally able to understand everything, Keisley finally knew. His mother did not look to him just because she was busy at work but because she was busy acting like a single woman. She partied everywhere; she was always with her friends; she always played in the casino; she was always out of the house; she was always busy acting spoiled. She never even thinks about her own son.With no emotional relations and a strong bond between sons and mother, Lilia has no idea how she could pull her sons to her sides. She doesn’t want them to
Sherly’s days went by, and it became more hectic than before. With school projects left and right, she didn’t know what subject she should do first. However, she manages to hang out and do so much in a few days. She stops going to the club for a moment, which leads her to receive a lot of messages from her club friends asking when she’ll come. Of course, she said she would come but did not tell them when.The university’s hallway sure is nice and noisy. It was always abuzz with different kinds of activities as the students hurriedly went to their own respective classrooms. However, right now, it’s different. As Sherly walks by in the hallway, with her confident walks that make everyone look at her and envy her, as she moves through the crowd, she notices the gaze of everyone. As part of the underworld society, she knows what it means. She knows each and every glance everyone throws at her, and having those eyes isn’t new to her. In fact, it was a common occurrence in the underworld. T
When the news broke that a certain businessman would visit the university, a lot of people looked forward to it. After all, this is one of their chances to gain something for themselves. Those who needed donations to their studies, those who needed scholarships, and more, planted hope in their hearts.At the grand entrance of K University, everyone welcomed Mr. Lim, a figure of influence in the business community. He accomplished everything that made people think that he was only second to Kyle Montenegro. As Mr. Lim arrived for a visit, he dressed formally. With the air that was excluded from his body and the authority he had when everyone looked at him, no one could deny that he was part of the upper class.The professors, deans, and even the students are aware of it. The professors and dean immediately extended their hands to welcome him and greet him. They ushered him with praise, which made Mr. Lim think that it was a good thing that he donated even a little for this university.
In the luxury living room of the Lim family’s mansion, Jude Lim, Elisia’s father, sat down on the sofa. Elisia could tell that her father wasn’t in a good mood, and she could also tell that she wouldn't get away with this. Jude Lim looked at his daughter and felt dissatisfied with the progress of his daughter getting close to Sherly. His frustration isn’t masked by a smile, but he is glaring at his daughter.“Elisia,” he called. His voice made Elisia shiver.“Yes, Dad? ”Jude Lim didn’t speak. He stared at his daughter and then started scolding her. “Didn’t I ask you to get closer to her? To establish a connection to Sherly Montenegro? What the hell are you doing, huh? Why is there no progress at all? I thought you two were already acquaintances when I asked you. However, from what I’ve seen, she doesn’t even look at you. What the hell have you been doing this time, huh? I am giving you a chance, but you always push it away! ”The disappointment in Jude Lim’s voice when he questioned
When George and Sherly decided to hook up for the night, they became intense as soon as they entered the hotel room. As excitement and lust conquered the two of them, they couldn’t help but get drowned by each other’s scent. Sherly Montenegro and George Riley were too engaged in their own passionate encounter as their desire for each other’s bodies danced in intimacy.As the connection between the two of them deepens and they become more and more excited about what will happen to them, suddenly Sherly's cell phone rings, causing the atmosphere between the two of them to be broken.Irritated by the intrusion, Sherly reluctantly reached for her phone. He didn't want to answer it, but he couldn't. After all, he didn't know who was calling, and he didn't know if it was important or not. If he sees that it's just pointless, he won't answer it.Sherly looked to see who was calling, and since George was lying next to Sherly, she also saw the caller ID. Sherly raised her eyebrows, and to her
Sherly is standing in the elegant garden of her father's villa. She feels the nervousness in her chest, but that is not what Sherly sees in the face of her stepmother, Lilia Montenegro. He really doesn't understand why she doesn't want him.Sherly saw that Lilia was wearing a smirk on her face that spoke of her arrogance. The disdain in Lilia's eyes while looking at her did not escape Sherly's eyes either. Sherly feels strongly that Lilia does not welcome her in the villa.He doesn't need his stepmother's welcome.Unfazed, Sherly met Lilia's gaze head-on. He had no intention of defeating the woman in front of him, and he had no intention of affecting her animosity towards him.Lila, however, couldn't resist the opportunity to make Sherly feel inferior."Wow, you really came home, huh?" Lilia sneered. "This is a family gathering, a family. Remember? You're not a member, after all."Sherly, ever quick-witted, smirked and retorted, "The last time I checked, I am part of this family. Mayb
When Hideous, Mario, and Sherly entered the villa, they were immediately noticed by Keisley and Kyle, Sherly's brothers, who were engaged in conversation in their living room.When Keisley turned around, he immediately smiled mischievously. With his playful smirk, he called out, "Hey, Grandpa, why don't we get the same VIP treatment too? Is it only reserved for Sherly?”Hideous, Mario, and Sherly turned to Kyle and Keisley. When Kyle heard what his younger brother said, he couldn't help but shake his head. Meanwhile, a light chuckle escaped from Sherly's lips. He was not offended because he knew that Keisley was just joking.Mario, known for his strict demeanor, is different from when he is with his grandchildren. Mario then played along with Keisley's jest.Mario raised his eyebrow and retorted. “Well, Keisley, my grandson, if you were a woman..." Mario paused, nodding his head. “Um, if you were a woman, maybe I'd consider treating you like this. But for now, Sherly is the only lady
