Joanna didn't hesitate to return to the Philippines to fulfill her closest friend's request. Her mission: to seek revenge on the eldest child of the Villa Franca couple. Upon arriving in San Andres, where Hacienda Villa Franca is located, she stayed at a resort for a few nights. The opportunity seemed fitting as the Villa Franca siblings were present. The challenge was that she didn't actually know which of the two handsome men had hurt her friend Ivy, and Ivy never mentioned a name before disappearing from the world. So, Joanna observed discreetly and felt her way through. Until the mischievous-looking guy called his brother 'Kuya' without moving his lips for a smile. The one with the dangerous look, yet so damn gorgeous and hot: Nash Villa Franca. Joanna executed her plan without hesitation... Will she succeed?
Chapter 1 1
prologue
Nash turned his gaze to the sea AGAIN when he saw his brother Nathan sitting on the adjacent wooden lounge.
"Don't tell me that there are so many sexy chicks here on the beach that you don't pay any attention, Nash?" Nathan still yelled at him. he even smiled at a woman who passed in front of them whose chest was almost bulging from wearing a two piece. "It's a girl who makes you cute but you still don't care. Why did I have a brother as stupid as you? Tsk. Should I blame him for entering the seminary?"
"Just don't mind me," he said to his older brother before wearing the dark shade on his eyes. He looked around slightly. It's not as crowded as it is crowded at VF Beach and Resort in the town of San Andres. Their family owned that paradise Iugar.
he rarely goes there because he prefers to stay at their hacienda. If his older brother hadn't forced him to go along with it
at the resort he was definitely not there. He would rather take care of the hacienda than enjoy the outside world like Nathan. Happy go lucky.
"You're welcome, Kuya Nash, have fun from time to time. It's not that you're always serious about life. You're not getting any younger, remember. So learn
enjoy."
When it teases, it calls him
'Kuya', he looks better because he is more matured
than here. she is only twenty-nine and Nathan is thirty-one. Since he doesn't take life seriously, so far no one can introduce a serious girlfriend to their parents. On his case, his brother is the opposite. since he has served in the church for several years, he feels that even having a relationship is sacred. He just lost the desire to pursue seminary when his grandfather died, since he came home to them he has not returned to seminary.
his meditation was interrupted when he noticed the woman immediately looked away when he turned to where she was. Because she was wearing a shade, she was able to observe him freely. He couldn't deny that his ex was too strong, that's why even his pet reacted. at least he knows how to appreciate God's grace.
And he doesn't know why he doesn't seem to want to take his eyes off her beautiful face if his big brother Nathan doesn't react.
"Do you see the core of the sexy and beautiful woman in the red two piece? damn, that's how a woman is made up. You'll see, I can date that too. Or I'll be with him later." There was a smile on his lips as he kept his eyes on the woman who got up and went to the sea to bathe. The woman he was looking at before Nathan took the scene.
Shaking, he washed the palm of his brother's face, who barely blinked at the woman who was walking away. He seemed to want to cover the woman's body because even his Kuya Nathan was almost drooling.
Aren't you, Nash? even mock a part
"Sometimes it's not just a woman's job
"Mo," he looked at her before looking at her. He just chose to lie down. But his eyes remained fixed on the woman who couldn't take his eyes off of him. What's wrong with this and even he himself couldn't stop staring. this?
He took the towel he was carrying and placed it in front of his manhood which was still hard. Damn, what's with him? Why did his body react that way to that woman?
chapter 01
Joanna turned her face to the window of the plane she was on, she was going to the Philippines from New York. Until that moment, there was still a trace of deep sadness on her beautiful face.
He is saddened by what happened to his best friend Ivy. and until now he still can't accept the loss of his best friend who he considers almost a real brother.
Three weeks ago, his brother, Shin, admitted to him that his friend's life would not last much longer, which shocked him a lot. he had brain cancer and it was less than four months ago when Ivy's symptoms appeared. What's worse is that it's stage four right away. At first it was a constant headache. I thought it was just caused by
being a workaholic but only when the pain got worse did he consult a doctor. And the result of seeing it is to shock its world.
even from him, his friend kept his illness a secret, so when he visited him at the hospital where he was, his condition was very bad. If his brother hadn't informed him of his condition, he wouldn't have known. So from Norway where he is
based, he immediately went to Ivy in New
York. Far away from her beautiful face and sexy body, he saw that he felt sorry for her. The last time they were together was last year when he visited her for vacation.
he is like his brother, he treats him the same way. So it's just like that if he is affected by what happened here. Since he is an only child. Because in the Philippines back then, they were together since elementary school. They just separated
when they both went to college. Her mother took her and educated her in Norway, but that was not an obstacle because their communication continued until Ivy's family migrated to New York when she graduated from college.
Because of what happened to her friend, Joanna left her mother's job and business in Norway for a while. They own a Jewelry Store, and the two of them and their mother, Mila Cross, design each jewelry collection they release, she is a retired nurse in Norway. because of the influence of his step-father Henry Cross, he and his mother became more familiar with their business. It also has a branch in London.
At the same time as he closed his eyes, he remembered the reason why he went straight to the Philippines instead of back in Norway...
"Before I d-die, Joanna," said Ivy in difficulty
voice "C-Can you do... do me a f-favor?"
He really wanted to hold his friend's hand but he couldn't for fear of hurting him. He couldn't even hug her because her thin body was already very sensitive. Even though he was in tears, he tried not to let the tears fall from his eyes. He stood firm in front of her.
He nodded. ((At least, Ivy. As long as you're having fun.'' He forced a smile. He closed his eyes first
Little opened his eyes.
"I-I want tom-make even to him. Joanna, I'm s-sorry. I didn't... I didn't tell you that
n-I had a secret affair b-before. But not
that took time. I want him to feel you
s-sick when he left me, Joanna. P-Go visit him in San Andres. The V-Villa Franca family is well known there. their p-eldest son avenge me s-for him. Loved him a lot and gave him everything but... but cheated and just left me. Until now
s-it's still very painful..." he slowly closed his eyes. May
tears still flowed from the side of his eyes. That's a sign that it's still hurting.
He doesn't know that. That someone hurt too much here. Because he is very happy and almost everything he tells him is all happy things that happened here. And San Andres is the neighboring town in his province. He would have asked his friend if
that was the name of the man he was referring to when he heard the small sound from the life monitor
its support. It was as if his soul suddenly fled
from what he saw, he was seeing a flatline in his life support
ivy
((Ivy," he said quickly looking back at his friend. it no longer breathes. His chest tightened. ((N-No. 'Don't please, Ivy!!!') he almost gestured to his friend. That's when his tears started to fall one after the other. He couldn't
even stopped himself from hugging his lifeless friend. ((Ivy!"
AFTER Ivy's body is cremated, the friend's ashes will remain in New York for forty days before being brought back to the Philippines according to Ivy's request. Ivy's grandparents are also buried in the Philippines and her family seems to have a reason to return home to the Philippines.
!still asked her when she had a relationship with the man she was referring to. And who was that man because his friend never mentioned his name. And how he will retaliate Rita is up to him.
He sighed. Tomorrow is
His flight back to Norway was supposed to be scheduled but he made a change flight to the Philippines. He will try to fulfill his friend's last wish.
JUST THEN Joanna felt tired from the long trip as she laid her back on the soft bed. arriving in the town of San Andres
he sent immediately to a resort to go there
stay for a few days while the plan is carried out.
Then he will think about it. Right now he needs to recover so that tomorrow he has the strength of his body. after a while he was completely overcome by sleepiness.
Before Joanna carried out the plan, she rested at the resort. So the next day he spent the whole day inside the cottage because he felt that his body still wanted to recover from rest. He had been awake for almost a whole week since his friend died.
It was Joanna's third day at the beach resort and Joanna woke up as beautiful as that morning. After breakfast, he first walked along the beach. He even smiled when a small wave played with his feet as he walked. He sighed as he held her. He remembered Ivy again.
"I saw the Villa Franca sisters arrive earlier, Eunice," said the woman who was walking with Joanna excitedly.
"Why didn't you tell me right away? I already knew this, one of the brothers had to notice me," said the other who boasted about the two-piece to be worn later so that the Villa Franca brothers would notice me more.
Joanna was left stunned. Capture is
smiled. "That means I will also see my target man here." His palms bowed. "Get ready, Villa Franca." He promises that he will fulfill his friend's wish before he returns to Norway.
it was past three o'clock in the afternoon when Joanna thought of going out of the furnished cottage again. Because the sun is not that hot on the skin anymore. wearing a black see through under a red two-piece she occupied a wooden lounge facing the sea. He also wore the gray shade so that he wouldn't be caught in the sunlight.
he was busy applying sun block lotion when he caught a glimpse of the man sitting, two wooden lounges away from where he was. Why was it difficult for him to look back at her carefully. she has seen many handsome men in person but she doesn't know why this one is so strange to her.
He looks dangerous yet so hot and damn gorgeous.
Joanna! This is not the time to praise a man! you have a mission and he is not the mission mol
Only then did he look back when a part of his mind froze. He continued what he was doing and left the man where he was. But his reprimanding eye could not stop glancing at it again. it just looks at the sea
while leaning on the back rest of the wooden lounge.
Why so gorgeous? He said dumbly in his mind.
It doesn't even ignore the women who occasionally notice it. when there was a man next to him who was also handsome, he even thought that he might be gay because it seems that women don't have a crush on him, if it were possible he might have thrown himself here, and that he might even have a relationship with him.
this guy. he shuddered at the thought and slightly regretted it. It is still fashionable today that whoever is handsome is also handsome.
He shook his head and turned to the sea. "Too bad about the genes," he added.
"OMG! The Villa Franca brothers!" accented scream of the woman not far from him.
Where? he thought as he immediately looked around. But he didn't see any men together apart from the two close to
where he is. his lips parted slightly and his eyes narrowed when he realized that it was the Villa Franca brothers in question. But who?
the eldest of the two? He does not know.
The one who came last seems to know all the mischief in life. and the other doesn't seem to have a care in the world. It's better for him to feel it first.
"You know, Brother Nash, sometimes have fun
you You are not always serious in life. You are not getting any younger remember. So learn
enjoy," Joanna clearly heard the mischievous-looking man say to the man who first grabbed her attention.
He felt even more annoyed by this knowledge that the man who had hurt his friend Ivy before. the attraction that was felt at first disappeared suddenly and was replaced by hatred. "Finally, we meet. Get ready." because he already had an idea of who the Villa Franca his friend was referring to was, so he wouldn't have any more trouble. the opportunity really suits him. 0 maybe Ivy is helping him?
He glanced again at the man who was the reason why he was in the Philippines. it is already wearing a shade. And for the first time he turned on her. Out of the blue he looked back. He even cursed in his mind because of the confusion he felt.
"Fuck," he muttered annoyed before deciding to take a shower first. He shouldn't feel that.
