First Hug
Last Updated:
2022-12-23 21:52:14Claire saw that the man looked sad and hurt, and he was even murmuring something.
According to her trainer, she shouldn't bother their guest when they are drunk because something might happen, but there's something that's telling her to approach him.
So, she talked to him. She took all her might to speak.
Heś a good man, I know that he will not do bad hings while weŕe together.
"Sir, are you alright? Do you need anything?" Claire said.
But the man didn't answer.
She was about to get out of his room when he suddenly collapsed from his bed.
Claire gasped and she hurriedly ran towards him.
"Sir? Sir?" Claire was gentle shaking the him. "Are you alright, Sir?" Claire was panicking. She didn’t know what to do, and she was about to call Gina when suddenly the man cried and hugged her.
Claire was too stunned to move.
“Si-sir?”
When she felt the man was not moving, she pushed him away from her.
She heard a loud noise coming from the bed.
“OhMG!” Claire said.
The man hit his head on the bed rest!
"Aw! Who--!” The man looked at her. “What do you think you’re doing!” the manś voice was so manly, she can think properly.
I´ve heard his voice several times, but just from a far, I didn´t know his voice sounds so good when heś near.
Snap out form your daydream, Claire! You don´t even know this man´s name. You just have crush towards him. Duh!
"I'm...I'm ... I was just ... I’m very sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry,” Claire said apologetically.
Claire looked at the man. He was touching the back of his head, and she heard him curse when he felt the sting from the incident.
“Aw! F*ck!”
Claire then remembered how this man hugged her.
He just hugged her and then he just acted as if it's not a big deal?
So, instead of helping the guest, Claire just stared at the man. She wants to leave but her body is not following what her mind is saying. She can’t! She was too stunned to move!
Claire was still looking at the man when the man looked at her direction!
From giddy to mesmerization. That was what Claire felt when she saw the man.
Claire was mesmerized by the man’s beauty.
I've always liked this man from a far and this is the first time I've seen him upclose.
Claire continued looking at the man with admiration
The guy is just so perfect, and his aristocratic nose feels like a well-known artist sculpted it. Even his lashes are so thick I want to steal them from him. His eyes are as blue as the ocean---
She stopped her thought when the man moved and stood up while she was still sitting on the bed.
The man looked at her.
That was the first time Claire saw his eyes looking at her. And, the moment their eyes met, Claire saw a lot of emotions in his eyes.
Contempt.
Confusion.
Love.
Love?
Claire came back to reality when he saw the man’s last emotion.
Why are you looking at me like that? As far as I can remember, I did something terrible to you! I mean! It’s your fault why you got hurt! Like---
"Grace?" The man said lovingly.
Claire’s thought was cut off.
She was shocked by what the man said.
Grace?She cleared her throat before answering.
"N-no, Sir, I am not Grace. I’m Claire, a housekeeping attendant. I was cleaning your room when I saw you. And then I approached you because I thought you needed help, and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, sir. I'll just, ahm, con-con-continue what I have been doing. Thank you.” Claire bravely said.
She stood up from the bed, but the man stopped her.
He held her on her shoulders to stop her from standing up.
"Grace," The man repeated.
"Sorry, bu-but I am not Grace, Sir. I am Claire!” Claire said furiously!
But the man just smiled as if he was not hearing anything Claire told him.
He just looked at Claire as if he wanted to memorize every inch of her face.
He touched her face with his hand. He touched her eyes, then her nose, and now her lips.
Claire felt the love from the way he touched her. She closed her eyes and felt his touch.
Claire opened her eyes when she felt his touch was gone, but the moment she opened her eyes, she was greeted with the warmest hug she had ever received in her entire life!
The man hugged her again, and she just let him be...again. As if that was the most natural response she could give from him.
I think I just don't like this man, I am in love with him. I am in love with the man I have been secretly admiring from afar. The man whom I don't know the name. I am in lo---
"Grace, I've missed you so badly!" The man said again.
That’s when Claire realized that all those things the man did to her were because he thought he was Grace.
Grace, the woman whoś making this man get drunk like this.
So, Claire tried to push him. She struggled to get out from his hug.
But the man did not let go. Instead, he tightened the hug.
“Please, Grace, don’t go.” The man pleaded. He heard the man sobbing. Her struggles turned into submission.
"I could die any minute," the man continued. That’s the time Claire stopped.
Why is it that he showed me that he love me. Why did he mistook me for another woman? I mean, there’s light. He can see me with this light we have right now.
Claire took a deep breath.
"Sir, I am very sorry, but I really am not Grace. I really need to go, Sir. I still have a lot to do."

Claire felt that the man’s hug loosened. The moment he let go of her, Claire felt empty. He’s still holding her when he looked at and said “I've missed you so bad, Love. I thought I was not going to see you again. I've been praying for this day to come! Every year, for four years, I've been hoping to see you. To hold you. To kiss you. To make love with you.” The man stopped and sighed. She gasped. “Every year, I've been coming here to this place on the same day at the same time to wait for you. Every year I've been praying for you to come back, and here you are in my arms." Claire felt that the hug tightened again, and his hand slowly touched her face. "I love you, Grace. I still do! And I don't want you to leave me again" The next thing the man did was unexpected. He suddenly kissed her! Claire's eyes widened from the shock she felt. She tried to push the man, but she failed. He’s too tall and too strong for her. Just like how fast she kissed her, that’s how fast his lips a

Claire saw the man came closer to her. His face is moving towards hers. Her eyes widened and panicked. What do I do? Should I scream? Should I kick him? She did neither of what she thought. When his face is an inch away from her, Claire has found her voice. "No! No, Sir! This is---” Claire’s plead was cut off. The man kissed her again and again and again. His hands started roaming around her body. Then untangled the ribbon of her apron. The man pulled her apron little by little. When the strap of her apron was removed from her waist, he took the piece of cloth and rolled it with his one hand, and threw it away while kissing her. Then he continued undressing her! First button... Second button... Third button... On the last button of her dress, his magnificent hands went up to her breast, and he kneaded it! Claire gasped loudly. Then his lips went down to her neck and down to the cheek of her breast. A slight moan escaped her lips! "No, please stop it, Sir!" Claire p

Claire came out of the room and started working again, but thankfully the assigned task for the day was already done, thanks to Gina. She came down to their department to look for Gina, but unfortunately, she just went home. “Kaye, have you seen Gina?” “She just went home, Claire. She has been looking for you. Where have you been? Were you slacking off somewhere?” Kaye teasingly said. She just laughed and thanked her. “Bye, Kaye. Thank you.” Claire said. She’s too tense to entertain people right now. What happened to her in that room is a secret. It should remain a secret forever. I think he wouldn’t even know that I went there and something happened between us, right? But what if he will remember? He was drunk. What if? Claire sighed with the thought. What should I do? What if she will come and sue me? You should be the one suing him, not the other way around. But---I liked what happened. What should I dooooo! Claire is inside the women’s locker room. She is alone be

The landlady looked at her with a reassuring look. “I do not doubt you. I know you will.” Her landlady assuredly said. Her landlady stood up and went to her door. She opened the door and was about to come out when we stopped and looked at her. “Claire,” her landlady called. “Yes, Ma’am?” “Someone was looking for you a while ago. It’s a guy, and he looked tough. He asked me if I knew you, and I said I didn't know you. Who was that, Claire? Do you know him?” “I don’t know someone here, Ma’am. I am not really sure who that was” “Okay, Claire. I’ll be going now.” Her landlady came out of her room and closed the door. Someone is looking for me?! Who would that be? I have to look for a new place too! I can’t afford to get caught her. She stood up and changed, and went outside to look for a new place. The day is about to end. She did not find a new place.

Claire’s POV Claire is still in the hospital, thinking about her situation. Vladimir Villazanta came out to settle her papers to be discharged from the hospital. Why does he need to check out for me? Why does he need someone to search for me? I mean, he can just forget about everything and move on. It’s not like he lost something. It was I who lost everything. My everything. Claire sighed and looked at the window. She looked around, and she saw fruits beside her bed. Thank God there’s something to eat and lessen my stress. She took an orange and started peeling it off. She sighed once again while peeling the fruit. I still can’t believe that I’m pregnant. What should I do? “Should I just run away?” Claire said out loud. “Yes, of course, you can do that. I’ll just let my people come and get you, and it’ll be a waste of time for me and money for you, so I think you just disregard what you’re thinking and just eat.” Vladimir said. Claire screamed at the top of her lung! “W

Vladimir’s POV Vladimir touched his temple while putting back his phone. That woman never learns from her mistake. Gosh! The nerve to even change there! Thank God I didn’t tell Paul to look out for her. Vladimir leaned on her seat and looked up the ceiling when the door of Claire’s room opened. He turned to see who had come out and saw Claire in her uniform. Speaking of the devil. Tsk tsk. He saw Claire tiptoeing and slowly closing the door. She was ready to run when he spoke. “You won’t be able to run away again, Claire. You’ll just hurt the baby. You’re pregnant, Claire. Think about the baby before doing something that will harm the baby.” Vladimir said and stood up. Claire screamed because she got surprised by Vladimir’s voice. She touched her chest and looked at him. “Will you stop that! Gosh! You’re always making me nervous! And I am not running away. I was just,” she taught of something. “I was looking for a comfort room. Because my child is telling me to eat someth

There were no more doubts about his feelings—he had proven himself over and over again with every gesture, every touch, every word.The contract still hung in the background, but now it felt more like a formality. She had stopped thinking about it, stopped fearing its consequences. She knew that whatever happened, they would face it together.One morning, as they sat on the balcony of their home, watching the sun rise over the city, Vladimir turned to her with a smile that made her heart skip a beat.“I’ve been thinking,” he began, his voice soft. “About the future. About us.”Kela raised an eyebrow, curious. “What about it?”“I don’t want to wait anymore,” he said, his eyes filled with determination. “I don’t want to wait for the contract to end. I want to make this official. I want you to be my wife.”Kela’s breath caught in her th

The uncertainty of the contract continued to hang over them like an invisible thread, but their love was growing stronger, more tangible. It was something she could feel in every touch, in every whispered word, in every lingering look. Yet there were still questions, still doubts, that neither of them had addressed fully.As much as Vladimir’s words reassured her, Kela couldn’t escape the reality of the ticking clock. She knew the contract would end, and with it, a promise that both of them had been trying to avoid facing. What would become of their love, and would Vladimir still want her once the conditions of the agreement were no longer relevant?One evening, after a long day of work, Kela found herself alone in the living room. The baby was already asleep in the nursery, and the silence in the house felt deafening. She stared out the window at the setting sun,

Vladimir was more present, more attentive, and Kela couldn’t deny that his efforts were making her feel more secure in their relationship.Then the baby’s first words came soon after, a sweet sound that melted Kela’s heart every time she heard it. Vladimir was there, as always, with a proud smile on his face. Despite the lingering tension between them, there was something about the baby that seemed to unite them, drawing them closer together in a way Kela hadn’t anticipated.But as the days turned into weeks, the reality of the contract loomed over them. Vladimir had promised her that he would never let her go, but what did that really mean when the time came to honor the contract? What would happen when the year was up? What will he do? What should she do?As days goes by, lots and lots of questions are c
365 Days With A Billionaire Confessions and Choices
The next few days were a whirlwind of emotions. Kela couldn’t shake the feeling that something had shifted between her and Vladimir. There was a subtle change in the air—an unspoken understanding that things were different now, more real. Yet, despite the reassurance in his words, she couldn’t shake the fear that still lingered. It wasn’t just Grace. It was the unspoken contract, the promise she had made, the future that loomed over them like a dark cloud.Vladimir could sense the change in her too. He tried to reassure her in little ways—touching her arm when they walked together, holding her hand a little tighter in public, giving her a lingering kiss on the forehead before bed. But he also seemed to be preoccupied with something, a distance in his eyes that Kela couldn’t quite place.It was the middle of the afternoon when she found herself standing in the garden, looking out over the horizon. The sun was beginning to dip below the line of trees, casting a golden glow over everythi
365 Days With A Billionaire Unspoken Words
Days passed in a blur of routine. The baby’s first coos, the first feeding, and the tiny milestones that made Kela’s heart swell with pride. Vladimir was there every step of the way, his presence a steady comfort, yet his mind seemed to remain elsewhere at times—far off, lost in thought.Kela noticed the change. It wasn’t like before, when he was fully engaged, consumed by their baby and the life they were trying to build. Now, there was a distance, a faint tension that never seemed to dissipate.One evening, after a long day spent caring for the baby, Kela found herself sitting alone on the balcony, the cool evening air brushing against her skin. She looked up at the stars, her thoughts drifting back to the contract, to the promise she had made, and to the woman who still lingered in the background of their lives: Grace.“Vladimir?”She heard him approach before she saw him, his footsteps quiet but deliberate. He came to stand beside her, his presence as familiar as ever. She didn’t
365 Days With A Billionaire The Test of Trust
The days that followed were a mix of quiet contentment and uneasy thoughts. Kela felt herself pulled between two worlds: one where she allowed herself to hope and feel something for Vladimir, and the other, a world of doubt where she kept her heart guarded. Every time Vladimir held her, or kissed her forehead, or smiled at their child with such genuine love, the walls she had carefully built around her heart crumbled a little more. Yet, each time she remembered the contract, the promise of an end, the fear came rushing back.The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a soft glow across the room where Kela stood, preparing for another day. Her fingers fumbled as she adjusted the baby’s blanket, her thoughts far away. She heard the soft click of the door opening, followed by the gentle sound of footsteps. Vladimir appeared in the doorway, his expression calm but with an unreadable glint in his eyes.“You’re up early,” he said, his voice warm, a smile playing on his lips. His g
365 Days With A Billionaire Unspoken Fears
The days following their heartfelt conversation were filled with a strange tension. Kela found herself constantly second-guessing her decision to trust Vladimir. Every time he spoke of the child, or when they spent time together, the weight of their contract hung over her, an invisible barrier that she couldn’t quite ignore.She knew what she had promised: after a year, the custody would be his. It was a deal she had made, but now, each time she saw Vladimir’s eyes on their child, a small part of her felt that ache of uncertainty. Could she really hand over the child after all this time? Could she trust that he would keep his word?Vladimir, for his part, had been making an effort to prove his sincerity. He was patient with her, never pushing too hard. He would hold her hand during meals, kiss her forehead before leaving for work, and spend hours with their child when he was home. He was trying, and Kela had to admit that his actions spoke volumes, even if she couldn’t always put her
365 Days With A Billionaire The Child’s Future
The evening had turned chilly, the cool breeze brushing against the curtains of the living room where Kela sat, her thoughts a whirlwind. Vladimir had been distant since their conversation earlier, lost in his own world, and she couldn’t help but wonder what he was really thinking.She was shaken from her reverie when she heard footsteps approaching. Vladimir appeared in the doorway, his face a mask of indecipherable emotion.“You’re quiet,” he said, his voice low, his eyes searching hers.Kela stood up, her posture tense. “There’s a lot on my mind,” she replied, trying to steady her breathing.He stepped closer, his gaze never leaving hers. “We need to talk. About the child. About everything.”Her heart skipped a beat at the mention of the child. It had been a constant source of tension between them—his desire for the inheritance, her desire to protect her child from the world he wanted to bring them into.“I’ve been thinking about what we agreed on,” she said slowly, her voice stead
365 Days With A Billionaire Secrets and Tensions
Kela sat by the window, gazing out at the view of the city. The wedding had been beautiful—everything she had ever dreamed of. But now, in the quiet aftermath, the reality of her situation felt heavier than the delicate lace of her dress.Vladimir’s presence beside her startled her, though she had heard his footsteps approaching. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder, the touch warm and reassuring.“You’re thinking too much,” he murmured, his fingers softly kneading her skin.Kela turned to look at him, his deep brown eyes filled with an intensity she couldn’t quite read. His proximity made her heart race. She wanted to pull away, to create distance, but something in her wanted to stay.“I can’t stop thinking, Vladimir,” she whispered. “About the child. About the contract. About everything that’s been… planned for us.”He stepped closer, his breath warm against her neck. “Kela, I never meant for any of this to be so complicated. But it is. I need you to trust me.”The softness in
