It's been several days since the De Veras discovered that Olivia was actually missing. None of them stop worrying and searching in order to see the missing family member.If only they could scour the entire Philippines or world just to find her!They have also begun to make noise throughout society, including on their social media accounts, to encourage everyone to help find their missing family member. Even local press releases took part. Tabloids, newspapers, columns, content, and headlines.Olivia's father, Reynald De Vera, told an anchorman on a local radio station about his daughter’s sudden disappearance and pleaded with their constituents to get them informed immediately if they saw or knew where Olivia was.Olivia De Vera, the only daughter and secretary of a local business tycoon, her father―Mr. Reynald De Vera, who owns some of the business infrastructures throughout Mindanao: Gone Missing in Action After Going Out to a Party in a Bar!The heiress of the De Vera Group of Com
HE watched the doorway of the night bar as it opened, watching the successive entry of the De Veras—one of the most famous and riches families in their society.Oscar and Luther De Vera entered first but they were accompanied by the latter's wife who came from Manila and, as far as he knows, is now staying here in Mindanao for good. Oscar went straight to his women and had fun there. The next to enter the bar's door was Rebecca De Vera who he also heard had married a man from Manila, behind her were the sweet couple—Althea and Liam.His eyes narrowed to Althea. He must admit, he used to have a crush on Althea. She's the exact type of what he's looking for in a girl when it comes to the physical aspect. She has long and straight hair with a hairpin on the side of her ear, a soft aura, and a kind and gentle pretty face.He just laughed to himself and shook his head. He's crazy for laying an eye on one of their family's mortal enemies. Yes, you heard it right. The De Vera is his family's
OLIVIA immediately held back her hand from the man's hold and attempted to get out of his car, but his reflex was quick, and immediately pressed the button that locked the entire door and windows of the car.She was scared, but she still faced him bravely and angrily."Let me go!"He grinned. "Uh oh, no. No, my dear. I will not do that. You are going to be used as bait to get my revenge in your clan.""Revenge? What for? As far as I know, you, your ancestors, you Florencios, are already in arrears with the De Veras! Some of our lands were taken away, and now, one of your family members has the highest position in the local government of this province!""We are not robbing you of anything. The elders just fought back for what was theirs from the very first place, and yes, Lope Florencio is STILL the governor of this province today because he is good at leadership, and people trust him. No wonder why he defeated Romero De Vera in the last local election," he said with full pride and a b
"GO back here, you woman!" Greg chased her though he was still moaning in pain.He managed to run after her and caught her with his strength and without even asking for the help of his men. She almost moaned in pain too when she got caught and his fingers pressed against her arm with the tightness of his grip there, almost digging his nails on her bare skin! Probably out of anger at what she did."Don't wait for me to run out all of the patience I have for you!" His thunder-like voice echoed almost in the entire huge building.She was frightened because he was like lightning and a volcano that erupted out of his anger. He dragged her upstairs again and he closely threw her inside the elevator. For a while, he calmed himself down with the foot pain she caused him and soon after, he was finally feeling relieved and had no more aches.When they reached the top floor, some of Greg's men appeared to them as if guarding all day and all night there."Boss Greg!" said a hyper-faced man and t
HAYDEN, what did you do?If Greg's accusations about Hayden were true, this bothered Olivia a lot.Are you out of your mind or are you even thinking straight? You cannot just repeat history itself by falling in love with an enemy!She was thinking about it the whole night until she fell asleep. The next morning when she woke up and she opened her eyes, she forgot for a moment all the bad dreams that happened to her last night. When she raised her hands to open them widely as she used to do every morning when waking up, realization brought her back to the thought that all that happened to her last night was actually true and weren't just what she thought were terrible nightmares. The handcuffs on her hands proved that."Woman, you can keep wishing if you think these are all just nightmares from last night but they're real. You woke up with a chain on your hands, I saved you from your lunatic fling last night, you trusted me enough to ride in my car, and I brought you here. You're playi
Greg got up from his seat and left what he was doing to go to Olivia's room.When he opened her door, she was found sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling with satisfaction on her face because of what she thought was an accomplishment for her little revenge against him."Putting a surveillance camera inside my room, huh? Why? Would you like to watch me get undressed and naked!" She accused him and laughed with no humor at all.He did not refute her accusation but went straight to her and without saying a word, he held her hands, causing her two hands to rise because she was handcuffed.Without saying a word, he put the key on the chain and freed her hands. She immediately was feeling genuinely relieved because of her freed hands."Thank you so much!" she hissed at him, still very sarcastic.He ignored her and left her room. She rolled her eyes for the nth time but smiled when she looked at her hands that were finally not handcuffed...FOR several days, Olivia had no choice but to
When the call ends, Olivia's shoulders weakened as she failed to let her cousin, Hayden, know about her real situation.Greg had once again removed the sim card from her phone.It annoyed her to see him sort of grinning at her as if she had said or done something nasty or unpleasant while on the phone with her cousin.She suddenly understood what he was trying to imply and snorted at what he was thinking! Insane!"D*mn you for thinking something dirty about me with my own cousin! He's my blood relative, for f*ck's sake!" she hissed at him.Anyway, what’s so surprising if this demon is indeed out of his mind? From what he is doing to her, from kidnapping and detaining her in this place, that’s already obvious about him! He’s a certified psychopath!When she came out of bed, Greg was still grinning.Another day passed, and Olivia was getting bored with movies, international talk shows, etc. that she just kept on watching on cable television to let the time go by.She was pleasantly surp
He examined the details of her with a soft expression on his face, making sure she had not gotten any bruises. "Are you okay?"Is this real? Is his concern for her genuine? Or maybe he's just worried that if she's doomed, he will no longer have a bait against her family when the time comes…The bitter thought stung her a little bit, but she didn't let it get to all of her. She came back to her senses, and that was the main reason she had to do this stupid thing."Kidding! Hahaha!" She laughed sexily and then turned her back on him and left him stunned.She didn't stop grinning until she got to her bed. At the very least, she made him a fool today!Days went by, and Olivia woke up one sunny day, finding that the door was half-opened.Suddenly, she was surprised and nearly ran into it to make sure.She looked outside and saw the two guards watching and chatting in front of the elevator while they had coffee.Knowing it wouldn’t be an easy escape, she would make sure to make a way and ne
