A Desire To Last A Lifetime 67- "Cancelled."
"YES, I am confirming it. The engagement between my daughter, Tamara Davis, and the heir of Wynnfor Group of Companies, Fabio Wynnfor, is officially canceled."My brother and I was so shocked to have seen and watched the latest news. We didn’t see it coming that mom would entertain a presscon today to let the public know that we’re cancelling my engagement with Fabio Wynnfor.She just canceled it and faced on a presscon without consulting it to me first and without letting my brother and I know! She did it without discussing to us about it!"What the h*ck? Did mommy talk to you about this, Tamara? Did she mention to you that she's going on a presscon today?" my bro asked me.I shook my head. "No, she didn’t. We haven’t talked about it that’s why I’m also shocked to see this.”It's been a few days since we told mom about the good news that S-Technology's investment in our company was successfully approved.I had no idea she would make a move today upon canceling the deal with the Wynnf

To know who it was, I handed the phone and spoke, "Hello?""Tamara, hija? Hello? Is this you?"I closed my eyes. This is what I'm saying!Though she wasn't introducing herself yet, I could recognize her soft-spoken voice. I knew it's Fabio's mom."Yes, this is me speaking. Is that you, auntie?""Yes, Tami. I called because I, actually, our whole family, have already watched your mom's interview and she canceled the agreement of your supposed engagement to my son?" Her voice sounded sad and a bit disappointed.I couldn't help but feel bad for them. Though, I didn't want this marriage to push through, still I couldn't support the disrespect that my mom caused to their family."I've been contacting her but she's not picking up, that's why I decided to give you a call instead," she explained.I didn't know what to say. Seriously.She continued, and this time, she did not hold on her sentiments anymore. "What is this, hija? Is your mom serious about what she said there? Why all of a sudden

"Hello, sexy hardworking woman!'I looked at the opened door and it was Chris who visited me to work today.I stood up to greet him "Chris, hi!"I couldn't help but feel pressured because right now, he isn't just a friend but as a VIP because he has the biggest share of Davis Elegance."Come on. No need for ultra formalities. Take a seat," he said casually and pointed my chair."Yeah!" I shrugged and laughed it off, realizing that I shouldn't be too pressured because though he's a big boss, nothing has changed with our friendship and we can still be like our normal ways toward each other. I pointed to the visitor's chair, too. "You, too. Sit down.""I will. Thanks." He cooly occupied it like he was just comfortably sitting at his house like he always does everywhere."So, how does it feel going back to work? I mean, to your original work inside your family's company?"I smiled and tilted my heart. "Oh, I definitely love it! How I missed working!"True as it is, I really missed this. I

Her eyes widened in thrill and excitement. "Really, hija?"She even looked at mom who seemed to share the same reaction.I nodded. "I believe Chris and I treat each other special because we've been best friends for so long and we even see each other as siblings."And after saying that, sudden sadness and discouragement could be seen from both auntie and mom's reactions.It was as if they didn't get the thing nor heard what they wanted to hear.Why? What were they expecting me to say? That I would pretend as if there is something romantic between Chris and I when I know for sure that there isn't any? No. Just no.I never wanted to lie just to make them happy or for the sake of it. I'm sorry that I have to make their bubbles burst but there's really nothing I can do because I'm really not willing to ride on it as I'm not into it."Uhm, I thought there's something going on between you and my son…"I was about to say there wasn't, until mom stood beside me and interrupted what I was going
Last Updated : 2023-10-11A Desire To Last A Lifetime 71- "What a behavior!"
I could already have assumptions in my mind as to what they were talking about, but they needed to be confirmed personally, to prove that they were true.She didn't sell her young body for money, did she? She just couldn't! She's way beautiful and she has a lot of a bright future ahead of her! I would be so sad if she settled to use her body to earn as the last option she had that very time.It was Barbie that spoke for her behalf, "She didn't have a choice but accept the only gig that could provide her money overnight, Miss. She danced in a stag party.""In a stag party!" I exclaimed.Barbie nodded."Did they go 'overboard?' I asked directly.I knew that when I said that, they already got what I was exactly asking about.Leigh shook her head gently. "They didn't. You don't have to worry. I never offered to earn a money by exchanging my body for s*x, Miss Tamara."That somehow relieved me. It was good to know she didn't resort to selling her body."What she only did, Miss Tamara, was
Last Updated : 2023-10-13A Desire To Last A Lifetime 72- "Becoming my wife..."
How I wanted to cry! My heart breaks for Fabio because mom is insulting him like this, and I don't even think he deserves any of this!Fabio stared at him. I looked at him apologetically. Seeing him vulnerable as today felt like making me even more vulnerable inside!Despite hurtful words he had received, he still remained gentle and polite towards my mom."I'll get going now, auntie."Mom's response was just a smirk.I only shook my head in sadness and disappointment towards her rudeness at him.He waved goodbye to me, as well. "Tamara, please take good care of yourself."I nodded and controlled myself not to let out a tear. "You, too. Take good care of yourself, Fabio. And I'm sorry for all of this."He softly nodded and he went out of the door. I watched him 'til he drove his car away.I suddenly noticed the bouquet of flowers at the table. Did he suppose to give that to me, that's why he came here today unexpectedly?My heart wanted to sink all over again!I threw mom an annoyed l

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

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 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
