BILLIONAIRE TAKES PLACE AS “FAMILY DRIVER” TO TEST HIS GIRLFRIEND WITH THREE CHILDREN—BUT WHEN THIS WOMAN FOUGHT A CLEANER, HE LEARNED THAT THE “DRIVER” HE WAS CURSING WAS THE OWNER OF THE MANSION HE WAS STEALING.
Don Rafael is one of the richest businessmen in the country. He is the owner of Imperial Estates. Despite his wealth, he remains humble. He has been a widower for a long time and is looking for a new life partner, and a mother for his future children.

He met Vanessa. Beautiful, sophisticated, and a single mom of three young children. In front of Rafael, Vanessa was very kind.

“I love my children, Rafael. And I love you very much. I’m not after your money,” Vanessa often said while hugging him.

But Rafael had a hunch. He noticed that whenever he was away, Vanessa’s children were terrified of him. He also noticed that Vanessa looked down on waiters when they were on dates.

To be sure before he proposed marriage, Rafael planned a “Final Test.”

He invited Vanessa and the children to his Ancestral Mansion in Tagaytay for a “Family Dinner.” He said, “You go there first. My new driver, Mang Karding, will pick you up. I’ll follow from the meeting.”

But the truth is, Rafael had disguised himself. He wore a wig, put a scar on his face, wore an old polo shirt, and put on dentures to change the look of his jaw. He was “Mang Karding.”

THE TRIP

“Mang Karding” arrived at Vanessa’s apartment in an old van, not the luxury car Vanessa had expected.

As soon as Vanessa got in, his true nature began.

“What the hell!” Vanessa complained as she got into the van. “This car stinks! It smells like dirt! No air conditioning?!”

“Excuse me, Ma’am,” Rafael replied (using a raspy voice). “Sir Rafael’s Rolls Royce is in the workshop. This is the only one available.”

“You idiot!” Vanessa shouted. She turned to her three children who were quietly behind her. “Hey! You three! Don’t be so naughty! You’ll ruin my make-up and clothes! If you get dirty, you’ll be mad at me later!”

Throughout the journey, Vanessa did nothing but tease Mang Karding.

“You’re driving so slow! Are you stupid?!” “Make sure I don’t get dizzy! Just be a driver, do your job!”

Rafael remained silent, but inside, his heart was breaking. He could see in the rearview mirror that the children were shaking in fear of their mother.

THE MANSION AND THE INCIDENT

Upon arriving at the mansion, Vanessa was amazed. It was so big, with a fountain, and a vast garden. Her mood immediately changed. She became excited—not for Rafael, but for the wealth.

They got out of the car. Vanessa walked towards the grand entrance as if she owned the place.

By the door, there was an old woman mopping the floor—Nanay Ising, the caretaker who raised Rafael. Because she was old, her hands were a bit shaky as she mopped.

As Vanessa passed by, Nanay Ising accidentally knocked over the bucket of water.

SPLASH!

Dirty water splashed on Vanessa’s expensive red heels.

The world stopped. Vanessa’s children turned pale.

“CHILDREN OF…!” Vanessa shouted.

In anger, Vanessa KICKED the bucket and KICKED Nanay Ising’s hand, which was about to wipe her shoes.

“Oh my!” Nanay Ising cried.

“You idiot! Are you blind?!” Vanessa yelled. “Do you know how much this is?! This is more expensive than your life! You’re going to be even more stupid!”

“Mang Karding” (Rafael) came over to stop Vanessa.

“Ma’am, that’s enough. He’s old. It wasn’t intentional,” Rafael said calmly as he helped Nanay Ising stand up.

Vanessa turned to Mang Karding and pointed at him.

“Don’t order me around, just be a driver!” she shouted. “You! Get that old man out of here! I don’t want to see his face! When Rafael comes, I’ll make sure you two get fired! You scoundrels!”

THE REVEAL

Rafael took a deep breath. This was the final straw.

“He’s not leaving, Vanessa,” Rafael said. His voice changed—returned to his original baritone and powerful voice.

Vanessa was stunned. “W-What?”

Rafael slowly removed his hat. He removed his wig. He removed his dentures and the fake scar on his face.

Vanessa’s eyes widened. The color on her face disappeared. The driver she had cursed at, and the man in front of her now… were the same.

“R-Rafael…?” Vanessa whispered, her lips trembling.

“Yes, Vanessa,” Rafael replied coldly. “The driver you called a fool. The driver you ordered to throw out the caretaker who raised me.”

“Babe! H-Hon! That was just a joke! I’m just stressed about the trip!” Vanessa suddenly grabbed Rafael’s arm.
