She was too lazy to open her eyes or get out of bed. She squeezed her eyes shut and caressed the pillow all the while dreaming that she was on a water bed–soft, cosy, and floaty.
Ella smiled and drew in a satisfied breath relishing in the scent of fresh roses and water from the ocean.
She cracked open half-lids to inspect the other side of the bed for Kristina as they always slept side by side.
Not completely trusting her eyes in situations like this she reached out and felt with her hand.
But Kristina wasn't there and

Dylan pinched the bridge of his nose and breathed calmly. Ella looked away guiltily. He was right, she had been reckless and there would’ve been no explanation the media would be interested in hearing other than the fact that she had proven to be the gutter snipe they presumed her to be. ‘’I’m sorry I over stepped, it won’t happen again.’’Dylan groaned taking her hand in his, ‘’I know how hard this must be on you, I should’ve been more thoughtful.’’ He traced lazy circles behind her hand and gave her a reassuring smile. ‘’Why did you bring me here instead of taking me home?’’ Ella asked after a moment’s silence.

After the introduction Ella couldn’t quite call an introduction, she was glad that Dylan finally led her away with the two following closely behind.She slipped easily out of Dylan’s hold as soon as they got to the expansive sitting room; if he noticed he gave no sign he did. The room had a coffered ceiling and the decoration was a mix of warm colours. The walls were painted ivory white, the gas fire-place stood against the wall to her left and there were in-built cabinets on the other side housing the home’s stereo systems and electronics. Beautiful tapestries and ornate paintings hung on the wall. Ella peered through an open door that had access to the rear stairwell and back deck. They manoeuvred f

The soap made her skin feel like silk. She smiled and leaned back with a tentative sigh wishing she could take her time; but it suddenly hit her that this was Dylan’s bedroom and immediately made haste to avoid any awkward run-ins. A little later, she walked back into the bedroom in a bath robe with a towel wrapped around her head. She made a quick sweep of the room with caution for a moment before she relaxed a bit; when her eyes darted back again, she spotted the leopard design tube dress glaring at her from the bed where it was neatly spread. Her eyes narrowed before she reached out tentatively and picked it up eyeing the dress coolly, her mouth turned up in a frown. ‘’What does he think I am? Some cheap hooker?’’ she said in disbelief.

Dylan froze momentarily, but he was not cold–quite the contrary actually–he was warm all over, almost feverish…his skin was alive from the prickling sensation of the soft night breeze. Tremors of delightful sensation rocked through him, shaking him in the unexpected way; almost knocking the wind out of him. For how long he’d been that way, Dylan couldn’t tell as his ravenous eyes feasted on the goddess-like feminine figure that stood exactly five feet from him. This was probably the best time to look away, if possible turn back from whence he came. But common sense eluded him, his body betrayed him and his limbs stood rooted to the ground.

Dinner was awkward at first, sitting side by side with Dylan that even a tiny bit of contact would make her almost jump out of her skin. Ella was almost certain that he was doing it on purpose. The next time their bodies touched Ella pinched him so hard he hissed. ''Is something wrong?” Her mother asked. Dylan cleared his throat. “Nothing." He said then he grabbed his glass of water and gulped it down in one go. When he was done he slammed the empty glass on the wooden while he glared at her but Ella put her hand against her mouth to smoulder her laughter. And that was how slowly and surely the tension evaporated and her nerves were no longer screaming but Adele Garcia would hear from he

‘’Where are we going?’’ Ella asked as soon as she got into the car with Dylan and he began to drive. It was the next afternoon and Dylan had come to get her from the café. ‘’It’s a surprise.’’ Dylan said. Ella didn’t know whether to panic or jump with glee at the prospect of being surprised by Dylan Vergara, so she opted to being silent all through the ride until they got to one of those high end neighbourhoods almost at the outskirts of Lucena. Ella’s mouth fell open as they stopped in front of a gigantic two-storeys white house—no mansion with a large beautiful garden at the side and a lake. ‘’Wow! Whose h

Ella was furious. Her breath came out in short strained pants, her nails dug into the plush material of the outdoor sofa; she was ready to explode any moment and it didn’t make it any better that Dylan was wearing an enigmatic mask, his face inscrutable as he studied her through hooded lashes. ‘’With the way you’re staring at me, you look like you could bore a hole right through me.’’ He said in an amused tone. ‘’Don’t get too cocky because I just might do that.’’ She gritted between clenched teeth. ‘’You should eat.’’ He said coolly. ‘’I’m not hungry.’’ ‘’I can hear

‘’Your money your rules I see. Perfect.’’ She said between clenched teeth throwing his earlier statement back at him. ‘’But I have no desire to be your puppet where you can pull the strings whenever you want, you can have me as your prisoner but it still wouldn’t make a difference.’’ With that she turned and left crossing the pool area to the back door and up to her bedroom, slamming the door hard enough to rip it off its hinges. She collapsed onto the silky sheets, buried her face and screamed into the pillow. Dylan didn’t know what possessed him to say those awful things to her and he couldn’t forget the hurt in her eyes before she walked away. Just a few days ago he had assured Doña Bianca that he was immune; that he wouldn’t lose his head…or his heart, but now he&rsq

CHAPTER FIVEA Year Ago...Claire was two hours earlier than she'd hoped to be but no matter, she'd just wait it out. She adjusted the strap of her shoulder bag just as the lift opened at the second floor."Claire you're late." Charity's tone was reproving but Claire rolled her eyes and ignored her."Please, i'm two hours early." Charity was her friend and room mate."And why are you hanging out here? Shouldn't you be working?"Charity pointedly ignored her but then her eyes lit up suddenly and that meant she's got mischief up her sleeve."No I don't wanna hear it.""Come on, I've got this awesome dress I would like you to try on.""Try it on yourself.""I wish." She sighed wistfully. The thing charity was worried about the most was her size, she fretted over the fact that she couldn't fit into all the cute little dresses and jeans she's always wanted.Claire ran her fingers on the silky-smooth fabric.

CHAPTER FOURThat tiny feeling of doubt lingered through the next morning, it suffocated her to the point that she thought she couldn't breathe. As she slipped back into her uniform, work was the last thing on her mind right now. She could feel Dimitri's heated gaze boring into her skin and knew he was awake. "You plan on sneaking away like a coward?" he drawled.Claire wasn't sure she'd wanted to sneak away. God she had no idea what she wants right now, her feelings were all over the place. Must be PMS or something. When she swivelled around, she sucked in a sharp breath as she saw his member proudly jutting up and she felt hot all over. Sex right now would mess up her already messed up mind so she forced her gaze to his face. Right now, she couldn't decipher what he was feeling at the moment. he wore the mask of indifference perfectly."I wasn’t actually...""Don't feed me that Crap about what happened between us last night being a mis

CHAPTER THREEThey were quiet, each lost in his own personal reflection. Claire just wants to lie down somewhere and forget this day but Dimitri won't let her, he's persistent and she couldn't decide whether she like that or not. "Do you remember the first time we met?" How could she forget?"I thought you were the most beautiful woman in the ball room. You took my breath away then, and you take my breath away standing in that cute little uniform." he caught her face in his palms and stared deep into her eyes.Claire couldn't tear her gaze away even if she wanted to. His feelings were so intense it ignited a fire deep within her very soul. "I feel the same way about you as I did when I first met you and there's nothing you can say or do that'll make me feel otherwise." Claire swallowed hard and in one breath said, "even though I was once an escort?"Dimitri shook his head. "No one is perfect darling, your past doesn't define the woman yo

I'd die if anyone knew what we just did.""It's not something to hide, we're getting married in a month." he kissed her slow and sweet, pulling her even close until she could feel him against her.She giggled as she pulled back. "We should get to the party before it ends.""You can’t blame me I can't get enough of you."She can't get enough of him too.

CHAPTER SIX "Why didn't you tell us about it?"Dominic looked away from the window of his water front apartment to his mother, she was holding a brown envelope."I don't want to talk about it. " she was holding the envelope that confirmed his biggest fears, he couldn’t have children of his own.It was a boating accident seven years ago and Dominic was never the same ever since."Your father and I are worried about you. At least come spend some time with us and let us keep you company. " "I'm fine mom, there's nothing to worry about. " She wasn't convinced though. He had bags under his eyes as if he hadn’t been sleeping and there were a couple of empty cans of beer littered on the table. Dominic was stubborn and nothing either of them could do to make him change his mind.These past three weeks were the most miserable weeks of his life. Clara's betrayal had cut deep. There were times in these past three weeks that he'd thought of running to her and

CHAPTER FIVE"You look even more beautiful than I did on my wedding day." Anastasia Magnus gushed as she did the finishing touches on Clara's make up.Clara smiled. "Now you're just buttering me up.""Dominic is doing enough of that already." Anastasia wagged her brows at her friend." I didn't think this day would ever come." "Yeah, well it is here so put that glum look away. You will not get the same drama as my wedding day. " "I know. I'm just being silly. Am glad you're here Ana.""It is time!" Clara's mother ambled into the room with a dazzling smile on her face. "You're glowing my dear.""Thank you mom." her mother allowed herself a good cry before they finally left the room.Clara was being escorted to the limo which will take her to the church where she'll be getting married when a taxi suddenly pulled over in front of the Contas' house and none other than Mark, her ex boyfriend came out of it."You have cheated me Clara.

CHAPTER FOURThe past few days had been hectic, what with all the preparations for the wedding that they didn't have time to see each other. Today was her first ultrasound and Dominic was coming to pick her up himself. She saw his car round the corner which led to his parents' house and stopped in front of her. He got out of the car and came to where she was standing and kissed her full on the mouth. "You look lovely. " "In this?" Clara was wearing one of her mother’s old dresses which she'd mended the other day. It was old and unappealing, how could he possibly think that she looked anything but a homeless person."You look beautiful in anything."He opened the car door for her and she got in before hopped in the driver’s seat. "Make yourself comfortable, the doctor will be with you shortly." the nurse informed them before exiting the room."Do you want a boy or a girl?" Clara asked.Dominic kissed her knuckles as

CHAPTER THREE"Dominic! we were just talking about you" his mother cried as soon they stepped into the room. "Mom, dad, this is Clara Wilson... my wife. " The table went silent and the only sound heard was the clatter of fork slipping from the table to the ground. "Since when?" his dad asked."My dear son, come up stairs will you?" his mother spoke after a long silence. Clara felt so exposed under their scrutiny. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable, i'll be right back." Dominic gave her hand a reassuring squeeze."What is this I hear about you being married to that girl Dominic?"His mother was the first to demand."I hope you know what you’re doing son." his father said."I know that I should've told you all sooner but I couldn't wait.""Marriage is not some game you can play anytime you feel like it." His mother said."There's only one reason why he could possibly want to get married, and so out o
