A Desire To Last A Lifetime 35- "Impatient!"
Venice, for the nth time, made me laugh. Such a clown!“You know what? If that’s what you want to believe then fine! Inject that in your delusional mind as your daily dose and live with it forever. I don’t care and I don’t have to explain anything to you, especially since your empty brain couldn’t even comprehend any word I say, so what’s the use, right?”She glared deadly at me. I grinned. The heck I was threatened, like ‘Oh! I’m so scared!’ Really. Cough, sarcasm.As a response, I looked at her from head to toe. I couldn’t even seem to figure out why she was head over heels for Christian and ready to pick a fight with any girl who would get close to him and she would see them as a threat including me, of course, like it’s so obvious! Why does she have to be this insecure when in fact, from an honest perspective, she has actually got a pretty face, too. She looks good with that straight bob-styled hair with full bangs and then with her cleavage-showing, short and hugging dress, and
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 36- "Too hard."
Despite being totally annoyed, I still managed to be cool…"Alright. I’m sorry. I'll be just back later on when you’ll call me." I was about to turn around to go outside when the Deputy General Manager immediately interfered."Tamara, it's fine. Give it to him,” she gently instructed, referring to the folder I was still holding.Fabio, sitting at his table, stared at me with a blank expression.I smiled at Natasya and nicely shook my head. "It's okay, Miss. I just come back later.”“I assure you, it’s no problem, Tami. After all, you went all the way here to give that to the General Manager, right? So, go ahead.”I was hesitant but ultimately decided to adhere to Natasya. What she said was accurate. I intended to send this.Averting my eyes, I walked over to my boss's desk and placed the folder on.He gave me a long, blank stare at me before finally reaching for the folder on the table and opening it.He frowned as he delivered his eyes on me again.As expected!Somebody as wicked as
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 37- "Stained."
Deputy General Manager turned to me.“If it were me? I wouldn’t really allow somebody to do that, Tami. Even if he’s my boss. If I were in your shoes, I would’ve even thrown those papers right in his face!” She softly chuckled with her own joke as she continued to speak for me.I faintly smiled in response. Actually, I was already thinking of doing that before she could mention it and I was only waiting for my temper to completely lose and gain all strength and anger to throw these papers at the General Manager’s evil face.Meanwhile, Fabio still remained with that poker face as he was looking at me and then at his sister, and then at me again.“Now, give that to him, Tami, and you can go back to your desk because for sure, you still have many other things to do than printing papers and keep on going back and forth inside this office for Fabio’s unending demands.”I followed. A bit hesitant when I looked at him and he was staring at me blankly, I put the folder on his table.Natasya g
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 38- "Gold-digging."
I was a bit startled by how she could afford to be this harsh on me in front of other people who were already having their attention on us both. For the love of life, she was even belittling me!D*mn! This is very scandalizing and shameful!No matter what, I chose to remain cool and extend my patience to not be rude publicly.Alright, so she didn't want the money for the laundry and she even bragged about not mind buying another dress because she could obviously afford it, so why still fussed?"Then at least let me pay for the dress you'd be buying in replacement of that one I stained so that I could make it up to you and we could be quits," I still offered.She laughed as if that was the biggest joke she ever heard. "I doubt you could afford its price, girl."I couldn't speak anything anymore since I knew she had a point. In my current life as of this moment, I work hard for every single centavo and without the connection of my family and the money from Davis, it would be hard for me
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 39- "Oral defamation."
Chantal was wearing a maxi dress, white stilettos, and a signature bag.I could proudly say that above the three beautiful women in front of me, Chantal was the one shining the brightest among them because she was obviously pretty not only from the outside but also from the inside. The beauty of the soul truly radiates a lot.Effortlessly, she was an attention-getter, without even trying to be one but naturally, she absolutely was. Men at their respective tables, with or without a partner, glanced her way. Even some women were mesmerized by her charm. And restaurant workers, for a moment, also took a glance at her whenever they passed by."Get over your insecurities and start genuinely loving yourselves, both of you, come on!" Chantal advised Venice and Priscilla.The two couldn't say a thing and looked away in embarrassment. Karma, karma, karma… What comes around, goes around!"It's never somebody's fault that she was born a beautiful person with a beautiful figure and surely, a beau

In the end, everybody chose peace and it was the two witches that adjusted to the situation they first created. Venice and Priscilla volunteered to be the ones to get out of the restaurant and just find a new one while Chantal and I stayed and ordered our food to eat. "Thank you for being there and for siding with me, Chantal. If it weren't because of you, perhaps we were still talking about their absurd, false, and irrational attacks even up to this moment," I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. She smiled her kindest. "It's alright. I just couldn't really stand it when women were harassed and publicly shamed by other women. How I hate that!" "And that's why your calling has always been to protect women. You are a hundred percent destined to be a lawyer which you are doing now. It totally suits you and you are extremely perfect for your chosen profession." "Oh, that's too much of a compliment, but thank you, Tami. So sweet of you!” I smiled. Our food had been finally served

A Desire To Last A Lifetime 42- "Spill the tea!"
"Their story was not your so-common as falling in love at first sight and dating each other. No, that was not it. The truth was it was actually the opposite way around…”Everybody was interested in Yasmine’s spilling the tea about Johann and Celyn and how the romance between the two actually started…“We were at school that very moment, and well, we came across the most famous boys in our university's basketball league... I was even shy because I had a secret crush on one of them. But don't get me wrong, alright? It wasn't Johann I had a crush on. It was their captain, Clinton, who happens to be my husband now..."

A Desire To Last A Lifetime EPILOGUE
(Tamara's POV) "Wait, Fab…" I grabbed my boyfriend's arm as we walked. He looked at me. "Are you sure about this? I worry that your mom is still mad about what happened…" He softly tapped my hand, giving me assurance. "She's not mad at you, believe me, Tamara. She's even nagging me to bring you into our house to be finally introduced as my girlfriend." It has been a month since we settled and cleared things up between the two of us, and then we started to be officially exclusively dating. Now, it's time that he's going to bring me to their house to introduce me to his family as his girlfriend. I couldn't help but worry. What if they're still disappointed? What if they won't accept me? "Hey, stop being so negative, and just cheer up, alright?" I nodded and finally smiled, gaining courage. "Yeah. You're right, Fab." He smiled and we continued to walk. I was surprised and very thankful that Fabio was indeed right because despite all the things that happened, the Wynnfors still
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 80- "Forgiveness & realizations."
I cut her off and silenced her with my lips.She was fighting it and resisting the urge to kiss me back."That would be our rule for today. Everytime that I'm talking and you're gonna butt in, interrupting me, I'm gonna punish you with kisses. Is that clear, baby?""No! F*ck you! Release me now, Fabio! D*mn it!""What happened in the mall, it wasn't like what you thought it was—""I'm not listening to you, idiot—"Since she butt in and interrupted me, I had to give her her punishment. I kissed her. Deeper and more passionate this time around.She still tried to fight it.And because she was betraying the urge of her own body, I have to make her realize how she wants me, too.My hot kisses went down to her neck and I started to lift the hem of her blouse, making my hand on the way to her breast and squeezed her. And she moaned at that."Fabio, please…"I chuckled huskily. "Please what, babe?""Stop…"She didn't mean that. From the need and fire of lust I could see in her eyes, I knew h
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 79- "Untie me!"
She was so dumbfounded that I confronted her and taught her a lesson like that."Jad—""No buts, Priscilla. And mind you, know your place. You are not my girlfriend anymore, and I can never go back to you. You are just a business partner at this moment and you are obliged to follow my rules the next time you wanna see me and talk to me, especially here in my office."Speechless, that what was she completely turned into."Not to mention, I knew what you did to Tamara, Priscilla. You were trying to shame and embarrass her to the public.""What?! H-how did you know about it?" She was starting to get nervous."Not too important how I did find out about it. But if you dare doing that again, if you dare lay a finger on even a single strand of her hair, I'm warning you, I would not like it. You know me, Priscilla, and you know how evil I could go when I see things I do not like. I would make sure that you wouldn't either like what I could go to you and to your family business—""Jad, please!
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 78- "Taking side..."
I thought we, both family sides, were just waiting for the tentative schedule to be married, but then something very unexpected happened. One day, her mother came to a presscon shocking all of us with her announcement that her daughter's engagement with me was canceled and Tamara was not marrying me anymore.The supposed marriage was cut short, and it was all because of Chris Salvatore who butt in the situation. He was appointed by his family to be the new founder and Chairman of S-Tech, and upon my investigation, S-Tech invested millions to help the Davis Elegance rise once again.Lucille Davis, Tamara's mom, knew that they would no longer be needing the Wynnfors because Chris himself acted like a hero to them and she was thinking they already have the Salvatores and their investment and therefore, they dumped us just like that.I didn't get mad totally at them, though, especially to her mother, because it was their decision. They thought that the greater help knocked on their door s
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 77- "His voice..."
(Fabio's POV)My attention had been caught when I saw somebody familiar at the premises of Wynnfor Apparel.I asked some of the personnel and I had confirmed it was Tamara. I also found out that she applied for a job in our company as one of our fashion designers.I watched her from head to toe. I could remember that the last time I saw her was in the mall after the night that she gave herself completely to me. I couldn't help it! I suddenly felt the throbbing in between my legs! D*mn it! Just by the sight of her could really turn me on so hard!Frowning a bit, I watched her 'til she was out of my sight because she proceeded to the HR for the job interview."Tell the HR right away to hold the interview with that woman."The personnel were a bit appalled. "Sir?"I told it to her once more, firmer and with an emphasizing tone to let her know that I was serious with what I was saying and I knew exactly what I was doing."Hold the interview with her from the HR, and instead, escort her to
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 76- "This is kidnapping!"
He was still in his suit and tie, that's maybe because he just got out from his work, too.His face seemed restless, serious, sad, and mad…"What are you doing here?" I asked bitterly.I could never forget how he made me such a fool by making me believe his flowery words that he likes me, but right after that, I just caught him kissing another woman in the mall!"We have to talk," he said firmly.I chuckled in sarcasm. "Talk? About what? About your cheating and then twisting the story as if I were to blame why you did such a stup*d move, huh?!"He let out a deep breath. "Tamara, you have to listen to me first.""Well, I don't want to because I don't have time for that. After work, I'm gonna be visiting and watching over my dad in the hospital," I said coldly.But he seemed to ignore that. Instead, he insisted, "Let's talk about us, Tamara."I smirked in disbelief. Is this some kind of a joke?! What else are we going to talk about when it's so obvious that he really is an a$$h0le!"Abo
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 75- "A heartbreaker!"
Chris watched her but it wasn't that long because he immediately attended to me. "Hey, are you alright? I'm sorry this has to happen, Tamara.""No, it's alright. Don't mind me. I'm okay, Chris.""Are you sure?"I nodded. "Yes."He sighed."You should've asked Venice, as well, if she was just alright. I admit, I pulled her hair hard because I was so mad at her. She must have been hurting, too."He didn't say a thing."Chris, I guess, somehow, Venice was right. You should've asked her side first before you scolded her," I gave him a gentle, friendly advice.He was quiet but I knew deep within him I was right, too.He simply nodded and gestured the way, "Let's get going now, Tamara. And don't worry, I'll just call her later to talk and patch things up."I smiled and agreed, "Yeah."We went to the department store to shop for some stuff because Chris told me that he was running out of his essentials so he needed to buy new ones.He was busy choosing from the various brands of spray deodor
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 74- "Catfight."
I grinned and I looked at my friend teasingly.Chris nodded formally. "Thanks. But I know."I chuckled. What a conceited man!Priscilla, who seemed not to notice or intentionally was ignoring the man's disinterest towards her, still extended her hand to him. "I'm Priscilla Zakaria, anyway."Chris just looked at her and her hand like subtly telling, 'The-f*ck-I-care-whoever-you-are-because-nobody-asked-and-I-wasn't-any-interested!'After a few seconds, Priscilla finally came to realize the man's indifference. And that embarrassed her a bit, being ignored and straight-up shown before her face that not every man would be lured by her cunningness!Chris turned to me and softly, he asked, "Let's go, Tamara."I smiled and nodded. "Let's go."I put my hand on his arm and he willingly obliged. Such a gentleman to me! But not to, obviously, gold-digging women.Before we went ahead, for the last time, I turned around to look at Priscilla to wave my sweetest goodbye.I smiled in victory against
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 73- "Starstruck!"
I was speechless… He was fantasizing of me becoming his wife? Oh, how I realized I loved that, too!"I really like you, Tamara." He surely stated while his stares focused on my lips."And so do I, Fabio," I admitted without reservation.His eyes became more intense.I resisted my smile though it was still very obvious. "If only you knew, too. I have a crush on you, boss!"His brow raised a bit but then he smiled sheepishly. "You have a crush on me?""Yeah!"We didn't know how exactly, but moments had been quick and we just found ourselves finishing our food and coffee in the shop and we ended up inside Fabio's car to cuddle and make up for the times and days and weeks that we had not been able to be together.His lips claimed mine. I closed my eyes in submission and I responded to his kisses. How I missed his kisses, as well!It was a long but indeed passionate kiss. However, it had to be cut short when I suddenly remembered something or must I say someone, and that's why I had to gen
