What if one day you wake up to the person you're supposed to hate and find out you're falling for him. So Raymond can hold back his feelings for the expected revenge. Look out. 🧡 _________ ' RAYMOND BALTAZAR ' "Leah, no!" "Don't leave me!" "W-Waaagg! P-It's like pity!" "M-My love...." "H-HINDIIIIII!!!!" I screamed loudly then woke up and sat up panting. Mom, my mother-in-law, immediately entered. "Raymond, what happened?" It's a question that reminds me that I closed my eyes tightly when I realized that I had dreamed about my husband. "Son, what's going on with you?" he asked so I looked at him and immediately smiled. "No mom, go back to your room, I'm fine." I said and he was about to speak but he chose to remain silent and nodded and left my room. I exhaled violently and shook my head. "Don't worry my love, I won't forget my promise to you." I said seriously.

THE NEXT DAY I was getting ready to go to work when Mom came with Lilian and she brought a tupperware with only a dish.
"Ray, it's for you!" he said smiling but I just looked at him and returned my gaze to Mom.
"Mom, I'll go first." I said goodbye and I was about to leave when he stopped me.
"Wait a minute, Raymond..are you still coming in?" he asked me and I took a deep breath before nodding and smiling at him so he wouldn't worry anymore.
When I arrived at the Montecillos' mansion, the gardener immediately greeted me and I smiled.
"Amon, you're already here. They've been waiting for you for a while, sir, and Miss Blythe will be coming in early." Mang Agustin said that I just nodded and went inside.
I immediately saw Senyor Montecillo's youngest son frowning while using his cell phone and listening to his father's sermon and when he saw me, he immediately felt pain.
"Blythe, listen to me, I will only allow you to go outside if you are with someone but if you are alone, it is not possible!" his father said authoritatively.
"Dad! I'm already nineteen years old but if you put me to it, I'm still a toddler, my god!" it said annoyed.
"Listen to me! There's a lot going on these past few weeks and the death threats I'm getting are getting worse and worse and for sure you know what I mean don't you!" his Daddy also shouted.
"Okay. Fine! Whatever. Do what you want, bring whoever you want with me!" he shouted and Señor Montecillo immediately looked at me.
"N-No..Dad! No!" it said annoyed.
"Amon, it's up to you to go with my son, you're the only one he can't escape from." He said and I just bowed a little and he left.
It quickly looked at me badly. "You! Don't slow down!" he said annoyed then grabbed his handbag and I followed him.
WHILE we were on the road, he was quietly typing on his phone when I stopped the car and looked at him behind.
He turned to me when I stopped. "Why did you stop?" he asked flatly.
"Where are you going?" I asked and he laughed silly then suddenly looked serious when he looked at me.
"Didn't I tell you, are you deaf?!" he said annoyed so I closed my eyes tightly.
"I mean, the one you're really going to, what are you planning to do now?" I asked and his face became even more serious.
"Even if I tell you where I want, that won't happen because for sure you'll just report me to my Daddy." He said and I took a deep breath.
"What if I make a deal with you, will you agree?" I asked seriously and he laughed softly then raised an eyebrow at me.
"Are you kidding me? Blythe Montecillo making a deal with a body guard or some..." then he looked at me.
"Fine. Good looking." he said with a sigh.
"Well, this is my deal, I will take you anywhere you want but we must be together by 7:00 pm, I will leave you the whole day, no one will stop you. Isn't that what you want, to be free even for one day, I give you that now. What, deal?" I asked with a smile and he remained silent and seemed like he wasn't sure if he would agree.
"My generosity has an expiration date, so if I were you, I would think quickly." I said and he laughed.
"Why would I----"
"5"
"4" I said and his eyes widened.
"W-What..."
"3" I counted.
"Hey just a minute!"
"2"
"What the hell! Just wait!" he shouted so I looked at him.
"What have you decided?" I asked and he took a deep breath then nodded.
"Okay fine. Take me to Margo, you already know that for sure, don't you." He said and I grinned and nodded.
WHEN we arrived at Margo's house, I looked at her.
"I'll get you back here before 7, so be ready." I said and he sneered at me.
"I don't know why all of a sudden you became like this." He said that's why I looked at him.
"I just want you to feel free and enjoy even just one day...you never know, this might be your last chance." I said smiling and he blinked.
"Wh-What do you mean--"
"I mean, you know someone took my place and he has a worse attitude." I said and I heard her breathing softly.
"Okay fine. Whatever. But, anyways, thank you." He said and went down.
I immediately grinned. "Enjoy your last day with your friends, Blythe." I said then quickly drove the car back to my house.
When I arrived, Mom wasn't there, I knew she wasn't there because she said she was going to see her brother, so I freely took out my big bag from under my bed and opened it.
Immediately five long guns and two small bullets were exposed to me, I grinned.
"This is the right time, this is the right time, my love." I said then take a deep breath, first I punched the table softly while thinking about what else I should bring.
I took some clothes, then my bag pack with only money.
And when I was going out, I met Lilian.
"Ray? I thought you came in--Wait? What are you carrying? Where are you going---"
"You have so many questions!" I said annoyed then put all that in the car.
_______
I went to the drugstore first before going back to Blythe. I looked at the time, it was five o'clock.
I know he and his friends got drunk at Margot's house because he was on wire tapping, he didn't notice earlier that I put it in the handbag he was carrying while he and his Daddy were arguing.
[[ Nako, your cutie pie bodyguard isn't there yet, right? ]] I heard his friend Margot say.
[[ He said that he will go before 7. ]] I heard Blythe say.
I was almost at Margot's house when I heard Blythe's scream.
[[ I don't want to do this now...]]
[[ Let me go...What the hell Ethan! I'm hurting! ]] I immediately gripped the steering wheel.
[[ Ugh, you smell, Blythe! ]]
I quickly drove the car and when I got there, I quickly knocked one after another.
[[ F'ck! Sh´t! Who's that?! ]] I hear a man's voice on the wire tapping.
[[ His body guard! ]]
Why doesn't he talk anymore?! This is not what I planned?! Bullsh´t!
I quickly knocked on their gate one after the other and a man came out.
"Come back later---" I immediately kicked him so that he lay down and I quickly went inside and immediately saw Blythe lying on the sofa with her drink on top.
He was about to approach me but I immediately threw the bottle I was holding at him causing his forehead to bleed.
I approached Blythe. I closed my eyes when the memory of Lea suddenly popped up in my mind, I quickly picked her up and got out and got in the car.
I closed my eyes during the flight and shook my head. I need to do this now, I won't let this night end without holding Blythe hostage. But, how can I do that? He almost raped me and it was because of me, like he did to my wife.
I looked at him and when a decision was formed in my mind, I drove the car away from that place.

Blythe POV💎
I woke up to the sunlight hitting my face. Ugh! I would have stretched out my arm without being able to move it. What the heck?!
I immediately woke up and the room that was not familiar to me was revealed to me and when I looked at myself, my hands were tied and my eyes widened. What's going on?!
"Ahhhhhh!" I shouted loudly.
And when no one came I screamed again and the door opened and in came...Si Amon!
He's my bodyguard?! What is he...
I looked at him and his arms were just folded, looking blankly at me.
"Wha-Why am I here? What did you do?! Did you kidnap me?!!" I asked one question after another while stuttering and he just scratched his ear.
"ANSWER ME!" I screamed but he didn't seem to care.
He sat in the chair that was there but his arm was still folded. "You will stay here until your father and I have settled." He said this with a frown on my face.
"Wh-What did you say?" I will ask.
"It's probably not you, right? You're the one who's paying for the big arrears your father owed me, so get ready to say goodbye." he said then he came and caressed my cheek and I felt my hair rise. What the heck!
And when he was satisfied with the fear that was visible on my face, he violently let go of my cheek and was about to leave when I yelled at him.
"H-HAY´P KA! YOU KIDNAPPED ME AND I'LL SWEAR TO YOUR USELESS LIFE THAT YOU WILL SUFFER IN JAIL!" I shouted and saw her laugh.
"I know that my life has been meaningless for a long time and that's because of your Daddy, that's why when I get my revenge on your father...and when I kill him, I'm telling you that I will lock myself up myself. " He said it seriously and left me speechless.

"It's really beautiful here in Macau!" I shouted when I got to the hotel swimming pool. I don't know what happened but I know that this is my year, that I was lucky because I was chosen in the raffle earlier in the office and I was still with my longtime crush at work, this is my year, yes. This is your year, Elaine. I was about to go back to my room with Luke because it was almost night when I noticed the bar section, I haven't had a drink even once so I'm going to try it. "Can I have 1 bottle of tequila?" I asked the bartender. "Yes ma'am, but are you sure you really want to have a bottle?" he asked. What's the problem? "Yes?" I answered hesitantly. "Okay, here you go." He said and I poured it into the wine glass. The first sip, the taste is bold but delicious at the same time. I drank more and more until I finished a bottle. Little by little I got dizzy so I went back. "A-ahh, I have a headache." I just said as I walked towards our room, my vision was double. "R-room 609. A-that's it." I can't walk properly anymore, I feel like I'm going to fall down anytime. I was about to click my card on the door but it opened immediately even though I hadn't put it in yet so I just went in and laid down. I noticed that Luke was also here, smelling like alcohol. "Hmm.." he said and hugged me while lying down. "L-luke..." "Sera..." who is sera? and why does Luke's voice seem to have changed? I'll just think about it tomorrow, I can't think straight because of the tequila I drank. "L-luke, what--- He kissed me, I couldn't see his face because it was dark here. I returned his kiss and we spent the night together *tomorrow* *cring, cring, cring* I rubbed my eyes because it was morning, I saw Luke with his back to me, naked and me WHAT?? did we really do that? I smiled, it's not bad for my first time because it's him. "Hmmm.." I was suddenly surprised because he turned around and suddenly hugged me, I didn't even see his face. "Is it morning already?" he asked, is luke really english? Besides, does his voice sound different? Is it really like this when you just wake up? "Yes, luke, let me go. I'll cook you breakfast." He was surprised by what I said. "Luke? Who's luke sera?" he asked. "Sera? Who is Sera??" I asked again, he was surprised and suddenly faced me, I just stared at what I saw. A very smiling creature, but he is not LUKE!!! "W-Who are you???!!" he shouted. I stood up suddenly and took my clothes while the blanket covered my body and went to the cr. "Lady, I am asking you, why are you in my room??" "I-I don't even know what happened, and what's your room? It's my room!" I shouted inside the cr while getting dressed. What did I get into? Why isn't that Luke? Why was I drunk last night?? "That's it, I'm calling the guards." he said and dialed. I quickly stopped him but they answered. "Hello sir? What's the problem?" "I need you to come here right now there's an intruder in my room." he said angrily. "What intruder? This is my room!" I was surprised because the guards were quick and there were more of them. "What happened Sir?" asked the one with glasses who was not a guard. "This woman right here is saying that this is her room" "But it's true--- "Your card ma'am?" I gave my card and it said 606. We looked at the name of the room and the number 6 at the end was italicized so we couldn't figure out what room it was. "This is room 609." "But the number was sideways and I was drunk last night so I didn't notice!" "I am so sorry Sir Fontello for this misunderstanding, this is our fault. We will take responsibility about this." the guard said, wait fontello? as in the fontello company that wants to partner with our company? The biggest company? "M-can I ask? S-who is he?" I asked the one with the glasses while they were busy. "He's Sir Van Fontello. The CEO of fontello company and one of the billionaires of our country." I can't move where I am, a billionaire? so i had a one night stand with a billionaire?
Francine Carrel Asuncion _______________________ "Hey, Francine. What's up?" Mia called, which made me go crazy. "Why?" I will ask. "What are you thinking, Frennywaps huh?" he said then arranged our painting supplies. "Sorry. I just remembered what Papa said yesterday." I promise. "Speaking of your Papa! What's the matter with Tito picking you up at home this morning?" it asked. "Well... how can I tell you?" I promise then take a deep breath. "It's occupied, what is it, here it is." he said as if he was bored with the gossip I was about to say. "That's how it is." I said then took a deep breath and started again. "He is planning to find a 'supposedly' perfect man for me and he is going to get us married as soon as possible..." "Huaaaat?! Immediately, Frenny? My god! My brainy didn't understand that. It was shocking!" he said as he held his sensei and I immediately fell in love. "And that's really what you were worried about, you know I have a boyfriend." I said Indian seat and he immediately winced. "Heh. I don't know. You know, Francine. I'm really disappointed with your boyfriend Rio, it seems like there's something bad and fishy there and I can't figure out what it is right now but here it is, remember this time I'll know if what's that. Nako, I'm telling you frenny, I'll have it salv*ged, choss." He said that my eyes are getting smaller. I just shook my head and continued my painting. We were in the Art room with our other classmates. I was about to finish when suddenly someone knocked over my mixing palette with only paint in it. "What?!" I wonder if we are together and look at my uniform that is full of paint. "Are you blind? Aren't you looking at what you're passing by!" I said annoyed then looked at him badly but he immediately turned his back and didn't seem to have any intention of apologizing for what he did so I laughed a little and stood up then grabbed his arm. "Aren't you even going to apologize?" I said annoyed then faced me but I already stopped to speak... "I-You…." "I know I'm handsome. But I'm busy." it said with a smirk. What the---! I would have yelled at him because he had already left. B*sit! Why is he really handsome and I'm really stunned hays. "Just calm down, okay. Just get changed." Mia laughed and said, "Oh, it's okay." ______ I'm in the restroom right now trying to remove the red paint from my uniform, tsk. If it wasn't really because of that man, my uniform shouldn't be dirty. I really missed that sound when we met again---- * KRING KRING KRING My cellphone rang from my pocket so I immediately took it out and it was Papa who called me so I was in agony. Annoyed and pissed off, I just answered. "What is that?" I will ask. "Come here. We will talk." he said so I took a deep breath. "Sorry, Pa, but my class ends later." "I already talked to your Professor and he agreed to let you go home this afternoon so hurry up because our driver will pick you up." he said as he ended the call. What is it? I just put my uniform in the paper bag and went out of the bathroom then waited for Manong Julio in the waiting shed outside the school. I texted Rio first because he might look for me later in the classroom and I'm not there. 'Babe, I have to go home first, because Papa is calling me. Let's meet Tom, I love you!' I messaged but after five minutes Rio still didn't respond so I thought maybe he was just busy. Manong arrived so I immediately rode in the back. ___________________ I thought he would take me to Manong's house, but I was surprised when he took me to a restaurant. I got down and went inside. Papa said that I will sit at table 7 because that's where we reserved but why is someone else already sitting there. I came closer to ask but I was surprised by what I saw--'the bwis*t man earlier who threw paint on my uniform. What is that man doing here? And here it is! "Excuse me, that table is already reserved. You can use another table, right? Didn't you see the sign?" I said then show me the 'RESERVE' sign I saw it laugh softly. I'm really still being laughed at. What's so funny huh?! "Sorry, Miss, but I'm here---" "Oh, Hija. You're here." said Papa who sat across from Kumag as if nothing had happened. "Oh, sit down, my dear." he said and I sat down but I still couldn't take my eyes off of this guy. "Hija, this is Trevon Lucas Mateo, he's the one I'm telling you that I want you to meet and I also want you to marry in the future." Papa said and I immediately looked at him. "What?! He's the one you're talking about?!!" I screamed in surprise. As in a literal shout, it's surprising, isn't it?
Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?' Elodie stepped past him, taking in the luxurious suite with a sardonic smile. The king-sized bed, the scattered rose petals, the lingering scent of sex – it all painted a vivid picture of their betrayal. She looked up at Dashiell, her gaze unwavering. 'I want a divorce.' ****** Dashiell lived a life of luxury, surrounded by the best things money could buy.

As Elodie thrives in her new role, Dashiell is consumed by regret. He finally sees Elodie for the extraordinary woman she truly is, realising the depth of his mistake. But will his remorse be enough to win back the heart he so carelessly discarded?
