"Breaking news: a man's head was spotted again near the head quarters of the police, they suspect that the number 1 serial killer Exodus is the perpetrator of the crime again" I didn't pay attention to what was being said in the news because I was busy working Food here in the kitchen. "It's really scary to come out now, why hasn't that Exodus been caught yet, he's already killed so many innocent people." "Yes, of course it's still alive, but its soul is being burned in hell." whispered our housemates at home. I can't blame them why they talk like that to that Criminal because it is true that he has killed so many people. I don't know why there are people who can kill their fellow human beings. They will not be blessed if they do that and they have no right to take the lives of others because they are not God.

The beginning
[Serena's point of view]
"Breaking news: a man's head was spotted again near the head quarters of the police, they suspect that the number 1 serial killer Exodus is the perpetrator of the crime again" I didn't pay attention to what was being said in the news because I was busy working Food here in the kitchen.
"It's really scary to come out now, why hasn't that Exodus been caught yet, he's already killed so many innocent people."
"Yes, of course it's still alive, but its soul is being burned in hell." whispered our housemates at home.
I can't blame them why they talk like that to that Criminal because it is true that he has killed so many people.
I don't know why there are people who can kill their fellow human beings. They will not be blessed if they do that and they have no right to take the lives of others because they are not God.
"Perfect." I whispered as I looked at the cute cupcakes I made. I am currently in college and in a culinary course.
I like to cook and bake, I plan to build my own restaurant when I graduate.
"Señorita Serena, your parents are already in the dinning area and Senyorito Haru's family is with them." I smiled sparingly at Nanny one and signaled that I would follow.
I immediately removed the apron I was wearing and fixed my hair before leaving our kitchen. "Mom." I quickly approached Mommy and Daddy before kissing them together as well as my two snake brothers.
I sat next to Haru who was smiling at me. "What's wrong, why are you here?" He shrugged and whispered back "I don't know, they just said they had something important to say to us" I nodded at what he said.
He's Haru Arcadio and he's my childhood best friend. Like me, his family also comes from politics because his father is currently a senator here in our area.
"Serena, it's your birthday in a week. That means you're at the right age to get married, that's why we thought we'd tell everyone that you're engaged, Haru, on your birthday." My lips couldn't help but be merciful because of what Mommy said.
I looked at Haru but his head was bowed but under the table you could see his clenched fist which secretly hurt my heart.
To be honest I love him and I'm happy that we are getting married. But I can't ruin his happiness, I know I don't have a chance in his heart because he already has a girlfriend.
He already has Bettina in his life.
I smiled like Mommy and tried to cover my feelings "But Mom, is that really necessary? I mean our family is ok. Maybe we don't need a wedding right?" when I object even if it's against my heart.
"We know that, but it's better if our family comes together, each one's power will be stronger and the chance of us becoming a victim of a serial killer in this country will be smaller." Tito Hiro's long line is Haru's Daddy.
Most of the politicians who are very rich and powerful still have no escape from that man. Not everyone knows how he manages to kill powerful people who sit in government.
And it is not far that even my Daddy who is the governor will not be targeted by him. Honestly, I'm afraid for him but I know that Dad is a good person so there is no reason for that Exodus to target him.
Haru and I were quiet while we were here in the garden of our house. He bowed while I just stared at him sadly.
"Why don't you try to object? I know you love Bettina that's why you fight for her." I told him.
He looked sadly into my eyes "Serena you know I can't do that right? In the first place I made a mistake because I choose to love her. Our family is against us."
It's sad. It's like they're Romeo and Juliet. Arcadio and Chavilire are cruel enemies and Haru and I don't know the reason.
"So what are you going to do? Will you just agree to marry me? Won't you even fight for the woman you love?" It hurts to say that because I love him but I can't bear to see him regret the time he chooses to marry me.
I love him but I will still choose what is best for him. If he'll be happier with Bettina then it's fine with me. I'll just always be here for him if he needs me.
"Should I fight for her or maybe I should accept now that we can't be together? I love my family Serena and I can't turn my back on them. But I will ask you, do you want to marry me?" He gave me a withering look and I didn't seem to know what to say.
Am I going to admit it? Should I say that I've loved him for a long time and I'm ready to marry him even if he doesn't love me?
I was about to open my mouth to tell him my answer when we looked at brother Isaiah who was the one who teased to come to us.
"Ops, It's already late. Your family has left so I think you need to leave." he gave Haru a mocking look causing him to look back at me and give me a small smile.
"I'll go now Serena, goodnight." I just smiled at him before nodding. After Haru left, I looked at Kuya annoyed.
"Why did you talk to him like that?" he laughed and raised his hand.
"What, I didn't say anything wrong? I just sent him home." I immediately hit him on the arm "No you're provoking him! Why do you and brother Isaac seem to hate him when he's not doing anything wrong?"
I was stunned when my brother looked at me seriously, he held my head before kissing my forehead.
"Princess we're just protecting you, you're the only girl in our family. And Haru I don't trust him because that stupid friend of yours is a freaking playboy. I'm worried that you might be his next target ."
Ever since I introduced Haru to them when I was a child, I've really noticed that my two older brothers don't like him even though Mom and Dad voted for him.
They always say that Haru is a womanizer but I have never seen him like that because apart from me he is always with Bettina.
"He's not like that brother, he truly loves Bettina and I know he will never cheat on her."
He didn't answer and just sighed. "If you say so." he just mumbled before taking me to my room.
After arriving there, I immediately went to bed while thinking about Haru and our upcoming wedding.
"Gosh Serena! I'm really excited for your birthday. I'm sure it's going to be grand! Look at the invitation, it's so beautiful." I smiled sparingly at Alexa.
One of my friends "Actually I just want a simple celebration but dad refuses it, he says he wants the best for me." I was smiling and seemed happy.
All my life I didn't know who was the real me. My circle of friends? I know they just befriended me because of my father.
I was just walking with my circle of friends when Bettina suddenly stopped in front of me.
She was mesmerized while her eyes were staring at me furiously "You know what? I should have just followed my instinct that you are flirty." I couldn't help but feel sorry for what she said.
"Hey Bettina, are you trying to start a fight?" Alexa asked her husband flatly, which she struggled with.
"Yes I'm starting a fight because this b*tch is stealing my boyfriend." I couldn't help but be surprised when she slapped me hard in the face.
I grabbed my cheek and slapped her and looked at her again. Even though I was angry, I noticed the pain and sadness in her eyes.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." my mom Is it possible that Haru told her about our engagement that's why she treated me like this now?
"Oh c'mon, don't act like you're innocent you little b*tch! I thought you only thought of him as a friend, that's why you're taking him away from me." she quickly pulled my hair causing me to cry.
I saw Alexa take their cellphones before taking a video of Bettina's teasing me.
How dare them!? Instead of helping me and weaning Bettina, they chose to stand aside and take a video of us!?
I tightly held Bettina's hand that was in my hair while trying to remove it because what she was doing was so painful. I feel like I'm going bald.
I didn't retaliate because I didn't want to increase my guilt towards her. I know she's only doing this because she thinks I'm taking Haru away from her and ruining their relationship.
I truly love Haru but that will not reach the point where I will destroy them for my feelings.
"Bettina stop!" I heard Haru shout. He quickly separated Bettina and me.
He hugged me while his friends held Bettina who was struggling.
"Are you ok?" Haru asked worriedly. I tearfully nodded while fixing my hair.
"Don't touch me you disgusting idiot!" Bettina shouted angrily at Haru's friend. My friend looked at her annoyed.
"Bettina can you please stop!? I already told you that don't hurt Serena but you didn't listen!" many students are looking at us, so I am ashamed of what is happening now, especially since I know it will spread because of those who videoed what is happening.
"I'm just giving her a lesson. Why are you taking her side? Don't tell me you like her?" she pointed at me that's why I couldn't help but bow down but Haru grabbed my chin before making me look at him.
"Yes I like her and from now on I'm officially breaking up with you. I can't stand your behavior anymore." I seemed to stiffen because of what I heard, especially since Haru's eyes were staring at my face.
W-what? Will he like me?
"W-what are you saying?" I stuttered as he smiled "I said I like you Serena." My heart beat faster as he hugged me tighter.
We only looked away from each other when we heard the students gasp after hearing what Haru said to me.
We both looked at Bettina and she couldn't believe we were both staring.
After that her face lost all emotion "I can't believe that you choose that b*tch over me." she quickly removed the hands of Haru's friends from her before slowly approaching us and she grinned.
"I'll make sure that both of you will regret this. You messed a Chavilire big time." Haru and I couldn't help but be stunned after she said that.
She immediately left as if she were the queen.
Chavilire, the most feared family that even my family could not collide with.
he is the heir of all, he's an important heir of Cordovas, they are the families of Billionaires all over the country. he will inherit all Family companies of the clan and will be the next CEO of the Cordova GOC (group of companies) Jared IS the Cordovas 5th Legacy, and now I'm bearing his Legacy, the 6th LEGacy Im carrying his child I'm carrying the Billionaires Legacy
The door sounded, I walked near there and opened it and it was Cyrus De Luxrell. He kissed me while entering here inside then locked the door again. "I got you food, my wife." he said softly in my ear so I nodded. "Does your back still hurt?" so i Shoked my head sit in his lap where he wants me to sit."Tomorrow, be ready. We're attending something gorgeous party." he said and gave me a smack kiss on my lips. "What party?' I said in my mind. I was treated well here even though I was kidnapped and big different in my family house who always wanted me to be their money machine all the times. They didn't try to find me and comforted my betrayal heart.
Who am I? What happened to me? Why I can't remember anything. All I know is I woke up didn't know how to walk, how to speak completely, it feels like I'm a new born baby but the opposite is I have a grown up body. I'm so weak that I can't even move my muscles. I'm so weak that I can't even mutter a single word. Hera Lopez has been in a coma for 8 years. How can an innocent girl live with all the problems? How will he get along with the people around him? A lot can happen and can be done to him by exploitative people. Would be a professor name Clinton Niccolas Donovan will help and teach her how to survive from cruel and twisted reality or be one of those people who have a cruel intention and motive?...
A rising actress who only got a glimpse of success suddenly found herself in a predicament. A crisis in a form of three small children knocking on the door of her life. The most worrying thing is that they call her... "Mama!" Thinking of what I could drink, I stared at the bartender for a long time. He's busy attending orders from other customers so he probably didn't notice me. He's tall and has a good physique. His muscles are visible because of his fitted white button down shirt. He deliberately undone three of his top buttons that's why women are drooling over the sight of his broad chest. It's no wonder that only women wait for orders at the bar counter. Even if they can't drink, order after order. It is the bartender the one they want to buy not drinks. He whistled. When I looked up at him again, our eyes met. I held my mouth. "Did I say that too loud?" I asked unconsciously. He chuckled. "Would you like a drink?" Instead of answering, he offered me a drink. I don't know what drink he put in front of me. It has a bright orange color. I gave him a stern look. "I never order for this." I pushed the glass towards him, but he handed it back to me. "That drink will suit your taste." I want to wipe off the sly grin he has. "Was it drugged?" "What kind of perverted ideas are you thinking?" My cheeks instantly heated by his vulgar way of asking. He's smiling from ear-to-ear. He's having fun toying with me. "I wasn't particularly thinking of anything!" I strongly defended myself which made him act as if he's surrendering. "Alright! We don't need to raise our voice here, Ma'am. We're both clean." I hate his grinning face. I rolled my eyes before chugging down that suspicious drink he offered. I blinked twice and stared at the half empty glass. "It was... an orange juice?" Damn this bartender! He's laughing his @ss off. "Was it too strong? Want something gentle?" I gritted my teeth. Now he's offering me a milk in a bear-shaped cup. My face was red, not just because of embarrassment but because of so much anger. I guess even if I love him for the milk he gives, I still can't get rid of my anger towards him. "Call your manager! What kind of crappy service is this?" My voice is raising dramatically. He pretended to take a breath as if in submission. "I think that's enough. You're already drunk, Ma'am." His face looks concerned but his voice sounds playful. This made me more furious. "I'm not drunk!" I tripped in time and spilled the orange juice on the counter. The irritating thing is that instead of getting angry, the smile on his lips grew even bigger. "Fine. You're not drunk." My vision is turning so blurry. I'm dizzy. I saw him gently touch my elbow to check if I was fine but I slapped his hand away. "That was too strong, rabbit." He chuckled. I don't remember what happened next because I lost consciousness completely. I knew it! That drink was drugged! I'll get back to that bartender! I felt the familiar warmth of my bed. How did I get home last night? I must have drunk too much because I don't remember anything. I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a strange noise around me. "Shhh! Don't make noise! Mama's sleeping!" Did I leave the TV on? What's with this noise? I heard a baby's cry. It was loud as if the baby's just beside me. "I'm hungry! Mom wake up!" Wait. I'm scared. This is way too realistic. Why is there a small hand touching my stomach? I don't want to open my eyes. "Wakey wakey, Mama!" I gasped for air as I opened my eyes when something hit my body. My eyes are playing games with me. There are three children in my bed! "Good morning, Mom!" -
I fell down on my bed. My body aches from practice. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, it's shocking. Is this how Mommy suffered at HTS? If I only knew, I wouldnât have bothered to join yet. I struggled to get up and picked up the phone on top of my side table. "Mother Martha," I began tiredly and she answered me with full concern. "Please. Can you just bring me some food up here. Even if you just order another maid. The pain is over. My body really, I can't really go down. All right, thank you. " I immediately removed my bra and stretched. Even maybe opening a social media account is boring to do. I've only been in training for two weeks but I'm tired, I don't want to. I closed my eyes, waking up, tired and tired. I was startled by a noise coming from a cell phone, as if a gunshot had been fired. I seem to have fallen asleep tired. I turned to the person next to me and focused my eyes on his cellphone. My vision was blurred but it didnât take long and I saw who was next to me. "Calyx!" I slapped him with a lampshade. "Hey! Don't! â he blocked her face with his arm and immediately left my bed. "Why are you here? And ... And it's still here in my bed! " "I don't know about you. I just delivered your food and then you took advantage of my weakness," she replied and threw my bra on my bed, apparently hanging from her hair. Immediately warmed my face to what he did. I know there was no malice in what he did but I couldn't help but be ashamed. In the crowd, why Calyx yet? "The thickness of your face! Get out of here!" I repel while averting my eyes. "Why are you the one who delivered?" "I volunteered," he answered simply so I turned to him. âI would like to talk to you. I would have woken you up just because you are sound asleep so I would have planned, just wait for you to wake up. â "So who gave you the right to sit on my bed?" I raise my eyebrow. â âI am not comfortable on the floor. â "The thickness of your face, get out!" I rock him a pillow. He also left my room immediately. I just wiped my face. We are now facing each other in the living room as he rubs the lump on his forehead that was hit by the lampshade I hit. "I didn't invite you," he complained. "Don't play the victim. Anyone who sees our position before will think it's ugly." "Ja, you're the one who hugged the two of us. Why are you still angry? Shouldn't I? I feel like I took the wrong course, I should be a politician so I can pass a law that also aims to protect men from your women . " I was amazed at his reasoning. I donât know if he has a saltik or what. I closed my eyes tightly and whispered to him. "Hey. Calyx Napoleon Tan De Jesus, let's be clear. If you don't want to marry me, make sure no one knows what happened." "You're beautiful. It's not bad to marry you," he smiled mischievously and raised his eyebrows so I threw the magazine at him. I was even more annoyed when he laughed out loud. "Get out of here!" I hit the magazine. "Ja, let's talk," he laughed at my blows. "Let's talk about the two of usâ ouch!" he rubbed his forehead and quickly sat down next to me. "What's ours? There is no U.S!" I stomped on him. I sighed as he pulled my two legs closer to him, causing me to lie down on the sofa. He put one arm around my head and brought his face close to mine. I couldn't breathe or even move when our noses came together. I stared into his eyes moving my eyes and my lips. I sighed again when his finger stuck to my forehead as he parted my hair. I closed my eyes tightly and slapped him so he moved away from me. I immediately stood up and walked away from him. I felt my blood boil when I saw him smiling while holding his blushing cheek. "Strength," he said, shaking his head and smiling at me. âBut Ja, didn't you crush me then. I was just wondering, why? "Calyx growled. "Can I have Calyx. It's a memory I want to forget," I replied angrily and he laughed. I was about to stone him with the magazine when I heard the doorbell ring. Our assistant hurried to the gate to open the door for the visitor. I focused my eyes on the door of the house. "Are you expecting someone?" he asked in front and lay down on the couch. "It's none of your business. Can you just leave first because it's embarrassing for the visitor. â "Wow! Heavy! â he applauded. I turned angrily to the man who was just staring at me. He immediately âkissed me. "Fuckboy," I whispered. âHey, that hurts. You are a judge. â "Truth hurts, Calyx," I smiled sarcastically. "Ms. Jayesa," the maid approached me. "She's supposed to be your visitor. Keshaun Medrano. Shall I let her in?" âKeshaun? Thatâs a boyâs name, and youâre still a guest? Are you misleading? â Calyx stood up and got serious. âWhat are you doing? You also said, I'm beautiful, âI replied. I looked back at the maid and ordered him to let Keshaun in. "Jayesa, I know you're 18 but you're still a baby in our brother's eyes." "Why are you interfering?" "I'm just concerned." "Concern? Stop me," I
"Huh?" I asked confusedly. Mr. doctor's answer? "C-come again? I'm what⊠now?â "Pregnant Lady Ca-" âPregnant!?! I!? HOW!?â I shouted at him. He raised an eyebrow at me and stared at me like some sort of a weirdo. "By having an int*rc*urse of course Lady Candace." I looked at him, well, doctor, I'm not in the mood to joke here, what? How am I pregnant!? I'm not even from here! I'm literally not from here, I'm from planet earth! E-A-R-T-H EARTH! From the Philippines, Cebu City! I was drinking with some friends because there was a celebration... But, I got drunk and I don't know what happened. When I opened my eyes, my environment was different. I woke up on some sort of small house and when I came out the people were dressed fancily. Their set-up is ancient but fantasy themed? It's like a peg only in fantasy books. That's it! I really don't know what's going on- maybe I'm just pranking but it's not really. The way they talk is weird, my h-ngh-ng friends don't speak that fluently. So I'm convinced that I'm no longer a prank and I woke up in another world. Maybe that's possible, I'm listening to lessons and watching Isekai anime. (Our character here is quick to believe in magic so he quickly adapts what is happening. Then I also read reincarnation stories, be it manwha or manga. Maybe I was de-ds when I drank too much? I know that's not the only problem I have. My hair color also changed, I still have the same face and all but- I DON'T HAVE A FROST BLUE HAIR! My uncle's life was gone when he saw me coloring. Also what is with my eyes!? I don't wear contact lenses either!? I didn't even know what was happening and then I just found out that I'm pregnant?! I know the kid is from j-gj-gan but duh!? I'm a virgin! One hundred percent! Not a single man moved my flower! My beautiful flower is well protected by me! But new?! I suddenly found out that I'm pregnant!? Then I still don't know the child's father juskooo- forgive me father for I have really s-nned. Mamang will slap me left and right when he hears this! I haven't even graduated from college yet and I'm already doing kerengkeng. Huh. What if I suddenly got pregnant? What is magic? But magic exists here- because eehh! I really can't process what's happening to me. I'm still adjusting to this because I just reincarnated and then I found out that I'm pregnant without knowing who the father is. I mean- I don't have memories whatever. Not really! as in none! Nothing! Is this how you wake up in another world? I have read fantasy books, why aren't my scenes the same as theirs? They woke up because they remembered something from their past self chuchu. Why am I not there? Does this body have amnesia? This may not be my body even though we have the same face. What the h-ck is happening? Not only do I have no memories, I suddenly got pregnant. I bit my lip, seriously, if I am reincarnated in another world, I must also have memories so that I can catch up on events. But nothing really, I was not blessed. I scratched my head while looking at my stomach, whatever. I'm gonna take care of this child. I, Candace Dulce will be raising this baby! With or without someone! Well, I'm such a strong independent woman!
6 years ago, Lydia suffered a brutal betrayal orchestrated by her own husband and step-sister, who drugged her and framed her. In a twist of fate, she ended up having a one-night stand with a stranger. Don't even remember what he looked like. Later, in the throes of death, she discovered the truth about her mother's death all those years ago. In the blink of an eye, she lost everything. 6 years later, Lydia returned with her genius son, vowing to exact revenge on all her enemies! Little did she know, she encountered an incredibly familiar man at the airport! *** The man was briskly pushing open the door to the restroom, heading to the urinal. Even with such a mundane action, he did it with unparalleled elegance and grace. Lydia, following him in a daze, saw his fierce lower body and suddenly snapped back to reality. She let out a high-pitched scream, instinctively covering her eyes with her hands, her cheeks flushed, and stood there stiffly, unsure of what to do. Lambert furrowed his brows slightly but remained calm as he continued to relieve himself. The sound of water hitting the urinal made Lydia's face even redder. She angrily shouted, "You pervert!" Little did Lydia know that Lambert, seeing her in this state, had a flicker of recognition in his eyes. Memories from many years ago flashed through his mind, and his heart couldn't help but stir. It was her!
Lindsey's fiancé was the devil's first son. Not only did he lie to her but he also slept with her stepmother, conspired to take away her family fortune, and then set her up to have sex with a total stranger. To get her lick back, Lindsey decided to find a man to disrupt her engagement party and humiliate the cheating bastard. Never did she imagine that she would bump into a strikingly handsome stranger who was all that she was currently looking for. At the engagement party, he boldly declared that she was his woman. Lindsey thought he was just a broke man who wanted to leech off her. But once they began their fake relationship, she realized that good luck kept coming her way. She thought they would part ways after the engagement party, but this man kept to her side. "We gotta stick together, Lindsey. Remember, I'm now your fiancé. " "Domenic, you're with me because of my money, aren't you?" Lindsey asked, narrowing her eyes at him. Domenic was taken aback by that accusation. How could he, the heir of the Walsh family and CEO of Vitality Group, be with her for money? He controlled more than half of the city's economy. Money wasn't a problem for him!

For the better or worse?
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

I have never been so heartbroken. To have my revenge, I revealed my true identity. I was none other than Liam Hoffmanâthe heir of a family with trillions of dollars in assets! The Lamberts were utterly shocked after the big reveal. They realized what fools they had been for treating me like trash. My wife even knelt down and begged for my forgiveness. What do you think I did? Did I take her back or made her suffer? Find out!
