This day started perfectly, with Viviana in my arms, receiving a gift from her, a cuddle... If I thought that Celestina kissing me was the worst that could happen, damn, was I fucking wrong.
“This is for your own good,” Don Castillo said when Mateo and I walked up to him.
If only that were true, I would’ve considered his concern, but no. That’s total bullshit. He only cares about his business, and he’s using me to ensure that Severino wouldn’t turn against him as he did before. Severino is a living, walking leech. He would suck everyone’s ass if he could guarantee his safety. Treachery pumps in his veins, and greed for power blinded my father.
The moment my father stood on that stage, blabbering stupid shit about his prec

A Game With No Rules 19|My Apology
~Viviana~ An ear piercing silence stretched between us where only the loud pounding of my heart echoed through my ears. I want Roman so much but my conscience would never let me rest. Sleeping with someone already engaged and about to marry another woman is not in my bucket list, even if that man is Roman. The pause that followed my query made me question my decision to be here with him. I might have ruined this night, but I’m willing to go home if he is indeed going to marry Celestina. “Amor,” Roman spoke, his eyes searching mine, treading over my face with intent while his thumb drew small circles on my jaw. “Let’s lie down?” I pressed my tongue on the insides of my cheeks. That wasn’t exactly the answer I was looking for.

~Viviana~If I thought that waking up to mom’s cooking was the best way to start my day, damn, I was wrong. A repeat performance of Roman’s expert mouth, tongue, and fingers last night was better. I was sure that my arousal dampened his bedsheets. Thinking of everything dirty he did and said to me, the image of his face trapped between my legs was enough to soak my underwear...We’re driving through an unfamiliar viridescent field of uphill and downhill roads. Apart from the times he’d had to shift gears, our fingers remained locked together above his thigh.Road signs indicate that we’re still in Las Mencía. I closed my eyes, leaning my elbow on the open window panel, relishing the fresh air caressing my face. My hair, a mess of locks constantly swept over my face, made me smile

~Viviana~In the afternoon, when the sun was just about to set, everyone gathered in Señora Teresa’s expansive garden.From what Sylvia told me, it was their tradition to play parlor games whenever they gathered, especially when it was a birthday celebration. They usually play mind and word games while Señora Teresa stands as the lone judge in every game and no one is allowed to back out. Even Emilio, who’s the buffiest of the guys, couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of the game master.There’s a gruesome punishment waiting for anyone who loses. They are betting money, cars, and as for now, the punishment is to finish the juice made by Anita and Claudia. The liquid inside the tall glass, a cross between brown and green, looks inedible. Only those two know what they put in there,

~Viviana~Knuckles turning white. My grip on the grab handle tightened as Roman’s Tesla took each curve on the freeway. This is not a road trip. It’s the fastest roller coaster ride I’ve ever been on. My breaths came in rapid huffs and I was sure my heart moved permanently in my throat.Just like last night, he was driving over the speed limit, but I wasn’t afraid. I’m feeling a different kind of rush.The resolve on Roman’s face gave me comfort that he was in his zone. His face was so focused on what he was doing that the small conversation we had barely registered in my head.It took about forty-five minutes to reach his grandmother’s place. He chopped off a good twenty minutes in that time while breaking numerous traffic rules

~Viviana~ “I understand what you’re going through. When my mother died, it’s like she took a piece of me with her and until now, there’s still that void in my chest. It will remain there forever. I learned to live with it, but that doesn’t mean I will forget her. She lives in my heart, all memories of her.” A gentle touch was caressing my heart with every word he spoke. I don’t go back on my words, but I realized Roman had always been an exception to my rule book. I said I wouldn’t let him kiss me, but I kissed him. After what he said, it was really hard to land a punch in his throat now. How is this even possible? This connection between us is so surreal that I find it hard to believe. “You’re really making it hard for

~Viviana~I knew this was supposed to happen, but in my defence, he gave me two mind-wrecking orgasms. My mind was in haze and counting to five seemed like a task for a genius.Still dazed, I pushed myself up from lying on my back, and kneeled in front of Roman, mimicking his position. I trapped his face with my hand, kissing him squarely, urging him to part his lips for me with my tongue. He did, groaning as I pushed my tongue inside his mouth, tangled with his in a bliss-filled dance.I let go of his face, at the same time I pulled away from his lips, trailing open-mouthed kisses down his neck. He held me firmly by my waist, a guttural sound vibrated from him. I scraped my teeth on his collarbone, his nails digging into my skin.His hand glided up to my hair, tugging u

~Viviana~After a steamy good morning from Roman, we ate breakfast, and he asked me if I was willing to meet his friends. To say that we are taking this fling to a new height would be an understatement. We are skipping too many steps, and it’s making me feel giddy inside.I like Roman; that is the underlying foundation of why I am here with him.I had to agree; of course, curiosity and excitement piqued within me at the thought of meeting his friends. But I was also scared of what kind of acceptance I would get from them.While I was getting ready, that brunette crossed my mind. Celestina was in the same circle he was navigating with his entire life; I just hoped I wouldn’t cross paths with her. My weekend is going just fine without her input in it.

~Viviana~A rusty knife could slice through the thick silence hovering inside Roman’s car through the drive back to his place.He was deep in his thoughts since he came back inside the pub alone with a formidable look on his face. Apart from asking me if I’d like to go back to his villa, he said nothing else.It was strange. We drive to the pub in a different situation than what we have right now. It’s like I am with a different person. Whatever discussion he had with Lena clearly affected his mood.I was itching to ask him what happened, what they talked about. I was damn curious, but I knew it was not my place to inquire about anything. It’s not his job to tell me things, either. The weight of the words I’ve spoken to Nico, Mateo, and Sylv

A Game With No Rules It’s Not Every Day
~Viviana~ Our wedding passed by like bliss. I hardly paid attention to everything that we rehearsed, the vow I’ve written, the food we’ve taken time to choose, and the toast by Nico and Tina for Roman and me. Everything was perfect, I’m sure, because now I’m wearing my wedding ring and have Roman’s name. All I wanted to do was get Roman alone. If it was up to me, I would invite him to miss out on our own reception and act as though we’re eloping teenagers, get away with him. But I can’t do that. Nana Teresa was here, and she’d kill us if we did - literally. My mom, who walked me down the aisle and handed my hand to Roman with teary eyes, might understand our eagerness to be alone, but that won’t stop her from chastising us. We cannot just abandon our friends who witn
A Game With No Rules I Couldn't Ask For More
~Roman~ It’s funny how time flies by when it felt like yesterday; I was naked, kneeling down on one knee, pleading for Viviana to accept me and be my wife. Three months have gone by since then. In our villa’s guest room in Las Mencía, I studied the reflection of the man staring back at me in the full-body mirror. A perfectly pressed Prussian-blue suit clung to his body with crisp white dress shirt underneath and a tie with light blue and silver patterns clinging to the collar. A boutonniere of white orchids and lavenders attached to his lapel, a miniature version of his wife’s bridal bouquet. What he wore looks expensive, a magazine-worthy attire, but that isn’t what he wanted to freeze at this moment. It’s the happiness
A Game With No Rules 102|Please Accept Me
~Viviana~ It was no surprise that everyone was already out of the villa when Roman and I stepped out of our room. No wonder they put me far from everyone’s room. I don’t know if I should be thankful to my friends for torturing me. They knew how much I missed Roman and still kept this a secret from me. Anyway, what matters is Roman is here. I won’t feel rueful to have fun while he’s still working. “You should’ve told me.” I nudged his shoulder as we walked down the stone path leading to the beach. We were both sporting casual beachwear. Topping our swimwear with white tanks, khaki shorts, and flip-flops. Sunglasses protect our eyes, but our smiles mirror one another. Roman had his hair tied in a low ponytail while mine was in a high ponytail.

~Viviana~Saturday morning, Penny practically knocked down my door and strutted into my room. I lay on my front, covering my head with a pillow, when she tried to wake me up. When I kept on refusing to get out of bed, Penny dropped her voluptuous blond ass on my back.“Get off!” I groaned, wiggling from under her, but she shifted and draped her entire frame over me like there was no human being under her.“It smells like shit in here,” she murmured, lying eagle spread above me, her front pressed on my back. “No wonder Roman isn’t eager to go home to you.”“Shut up,” I groaned, voice muffled by the mattress as Penny made herself comfortable.It has been six agonizing days s

~Roman~Three days. That’s how long I’ve been away from Viviana, and I was already losing my cool. Turns out, Rio didn’t only make a mess at the Phantom’s pub, but he also messed up a business deal Red was trying to close that night.No wonder Red was damned pissed he didn’t even want to answer my calls. I had to get to the bottom of the situation before seeing him personally. We might be friends, but just like me, he also answers to the people he’s working with.“What do you want?” Was Red’s warm welcome to me, a scowl etched on his face.He kept the door of his Malibu mansion wide open. I took it as an offer to come in. If this was any other guy, I wouldn’t walk through the angry lion’s den. But Red and

~Viviana~Sometimes, knowing the truth doesn’t truly set us free. Sometimes, knowing pulls us back into a limbo of twisted emotions from which we are trying to run away.Mathew told me another piece of the past dad hadn’t written in his journal.Did dad know I would cross paths with Rio? Did he anticipate I would try to kill him? Maybe he expected me to seek justice for his death and find Rio, kill him. Did he purposely withhold the truth to save me from the pain brought by the knowing?Rio didn’t choose his mother over my father. He tried to save them both, but dad knew Summit would find a way for Rio to suffer. He knew his end was about to come in the hands of his student, no less.Did he also tell Rio not
A Game With No Rules 98|Call Me Heartless
~Viviana~One could hardly tell Rio and Roman’s relationship based on their looks. Roman had electric blue eyes while Rio had smoke-gray hues. Roman had sharp jaws, high cheekbones, while Rio had soft-edged jaws and delicate-looking cheeks.Last I saw him, his figure was lean, not too muscular but taut enough that you’ll know he’s taking good care of his body. Now, he’s almost flesh and bones. His hollow cheeks forced his cheekbones to look edgy, the kind that tells a story on its own. He’s deprived of nutrients - by choice or not, I couldn’t tell. His skin was dry as if one scratch and he’ll bleed. The white shirt he had on and jeans were hanging loose on his body as if they were two sizes too big on him.Even in this state, my heart is void of sympathy for him. All I have
A Game With No Rules 97|To Move Forward
~Viviana~After making sure that Roman had already boarded his flight to California, I also boarded my flight to Colorado.I never thought I would exploit having Zia as a friend, but she and Xavier were more than happy to help me, tossing in Bo as my company. As the miles between me and my hometown grew thinner, my heart kept pulsing against my temple, turning my vision hazy and the knots in my stomach twisted painfully.It had been seven years since the last time I set foot in the states. Even when Lu told me it was already safe for me to go back, I refused to do so. His warning to stay away from US grounds gave me a reason not to visit the painful memory this place had given me, and I kept holding onto it up to this day.Tot steps, I told myself. I have to face my fear
A Game With No Rules 96|Just You
~Viviana~ After giving me a chance to catch my breath, Roman slipped out of bed and headed to the ensuite just in time for the dawn to break. The explosion of orange, yellow, and delicate pink slivers passing through the ajar balcony door bounced on my face, making my eyes squint. Groaning, I groped for a pillow and shielded my face from the soft morning light. The soft tap of Roman’s feet on the carpet mingled with his hearty chuckle. “Come on now,” he scooped my tender frame in his arms, taking me into the bathroom. I sighed as soon as my body submerged into the warm water he filled the tub with. He set me in the middle, sliding in behind me, his masculine scent mixed with the evidence of our coupling, and violet mist demanded me to keep my eyes closed.
