"Why are you looking at me like that?" Faith asked as Anthony would not stop staring at her. "Looking at you like what?" Anthony teased. "You know, you keep staring at me like you want to eat me or something." Faith giggled. Anthony's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Well, I wouldn't mind eating you at the moment, but we are in public. But if you really want me to..." "Anthony! Behave yourself," Faith scolded him. "Gosh, I can't help it. You look even more beautiful than before. I didn't even know it was possible," Anthony gushed. "You are crazy," Faith said, blushing profusely. He really is too much sometimes. "Crazy in love," Anthony declared. Faith went quiet. She still couldn't bring herself to say it back to him, and it started to weigh on her. It wasn't fair to Anthony. His love for her seemed genuine, and it made her feel like a terrible person for not returning his affection. And the whole thing with murder... "Faith," Anthony's voice brought her back to reality aga

"Mmm....so good," Jody made a loud moaning noise as she bit into her beef stroganoff.Phil frowned, knowing she was doing it on purpose, just to tick him off."Yass... it's the best," she moaned again, and this time, Phil couldn't stay quiet."Would you stop?" He barked."Stop what?" Jody feigned ignorance."Stop moaning and groaning like that, it's unsettling," Phil said."Oh stop it! You are so grumpy!" Jody laughed. "I'm just messing around with you.""Well, stop doing that.""But this pasta is really good. Are you sure you don't want a bite?" Jody twisted some pasta into her fork and then held it in front of Phil's face.Phil backed up, his frown deepening. "Yes, I'm sure I don't want any. I don't eat red meat," he said."A hunk of man like you don't eat red meat? That is absurd," Jody commented."You know what is absurd? You are. You are the most uncouth, ill-mannered woman I've ever met," Phil said bitterly."Oh no, daddy, are you mad?" Jody pouted."Stop calling me daddy alread

Jody didn't know what came over her when she said that to Phil.She didn't go around having one-night stands, but she considered making an exception.For Phil.But why? It's not like she was desperate. Men constantly asked her out on dates, so she had plenty of options in her world.So why Phil?She knew for a fact that it wasn't about the money he had or how good-looking he was. She couldn't care less. She had her career planned out and strived to be a successful and independent woman. Someone she never got to be when living under her father's roof. The control he had on her and her sisters was unbearable.She was strangely attracted to Phil. There was something primal about him she liked. It made her want his hands all over her body.Jody frowned as she remembered Phil was supposed to be leaving tonight. She didn't anticipate him to come back anytime soon. They lived nowhere near each other, either.So that means she could lose the chance to be with him forever, and that simply won'

Phil held his breath, taking it all in. He could feel his self-control slowly withering away, and his jeans tightened as he stared at her body.Sexy, voluptuous little thing she was.She was wearing a pair of lace underwear and a bra that she must've worn to seduce him. Phil knew that for a fact."You really are trouble, huh?" Phil walked closer."You should've known," Jody said."I suggest you leave, little girl, before you get hurt," Phil said.Jody pressed her body against his. "I told you, I am no little girl, so stop calling me that. Or else, I will start calling you my sugar daddy again." Jody grinned.She gasped in surprise as Phil suddenly reached behind her and cupped her perfectly round buttcheek."I'm not your Daddy, little bird," his voice was deeper when it was so close to her ear, and she let out a breathless whimper when he squeezed her ass. He nibbled on her earlobe, whispering: "If you stick around, I will break your wings.""Promises, promises," Jody whispered. Fuck

So the big boy loved to play rough, huh?Jody grinned as she watched Phil putting his pants back on. They had sex like animals and after he was done with her, he looked almost angry, which seemed funny to her. What a weird guy!"Faith never liked me. She thinks I am a terrible person. And now I'm even worse since I fucked her little sister, thanks to you," Phil grumbled.Jodi threw her hair back and laughed. "Nobody forced me to sleep with you. I was the one who seduced you, remember?""Yes, but I didn't exactly try to stop you either," Phil said."Don't worry, I can keep a secret if you want me to," Jody winked."Whatever. I'll be leaving anyway, so you'll never see me again," Phil said. "Now get dressed and get the fuck out of my room. I have to get ready for my flight."Jody winced. Was this true? Was she really not going to see him again? Well, that's a bummer."So, what time is your flight?" She asked."1 am.""Well, you already missed it, so come back to bed. We can cuddle," Jod

The house was quiet again.Phil was gone, and Jody left not so long after. So it was just her and Anthony again.And, of course, the baby that was growing inside her.She still had a hard time believing she was pregnant with Anthony's baby. It was surreal.Anthony was clingy as always. He even came home early from work every day to keep her company. And to take care of her. But Faith didn't mind anymore. It was endearing, and she came to enjoy spending time with him.Maybe, just maybe, she could forgive him for buying her dad's house and blackmailing her with it. Faith grinned at the memory.She was furious with him and made up her mind to pay him back every penny before leaving him, but now...things were different. The thought of leaving him made her chest constrict. She was too used to having him around now."You have a mail, ma'am," Faith's heart leaped as she didn't hear Dori come in."I do?" she narrowed her eyes. She barely ever had mail because she stopped working. The only thi

Faith had been going away to art school for a few weeks now, and it drove Anthony crazy.He missed waking up next to her every morning, he craved her. How was he supposed to wait for four months? But he had no choice since he had already decided to support her with her dreams, so he couldn't get her to come back now.Stupid school and their requirements.But the house felt so empty without her. She is a quiet girl, but her presence made a lot of difference to him. He wasn't lonely anymore with her around."Mr. DeMarco?"Anthony looked up as their housekeeper was speaking to him, so he looked at her questioningly."What is it?" he asked."Should I go ahead and clean your bedroom now?" she asked.Anthony nodded absentmindedly. "Yes, go ahead. And organize the closet while you're at it. I want everything to look perfect when Faith is here for the weekend.""Yes sir," she said.Anthony knew Faith liked everything cleaned and organized when she was here. She would usually do it herself but

Faith's eyes darkened.She knew this day would come eventually, but she didn't think it would come so soon. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't want you to think..." she stopped talking as the tears streamed down her cheeks."What, Faith? What didn't you want me to think?" Anthony demanded."I didn't want you to think I'm a slut like my dad."Anthony stared at her dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. How could anyone think that about Faith? "SLUT?" he roared. "Are you kidding me? How can you think I'd call you that for one second? What he did to you was not your fault. That bastard molested you!"Faith flinched at hearing the word. She spent years of her life trying to forget it had happened to her. She pretended not to acknowledge it so it would eventually disappear from her memory. Why did Anthony have to dig it back out?She should've been more careful. She should've burned that journal. She felt so stupid!Faith gasped as she felt sudden warmth. It took her a m

Phil squeezed Jodie's hand reassuringly as they walked into the adoption agency, both of their hearts beating fast with anticipation.The receptionist smiled at them. "Ah, you must be Lisa's two o' clock. Please have a seat."Jodie and Phil sat down, their eyes scanning the room, taking in the various brochure and adoption pamphlets.After a few minutes, a woman appeared from a door at the back of the room "Mr. and Mrs. DeMarco? Please follow me. I'm your adoption specialist." She led them into a private room.Jodie and Phil were nervous, but they answered all her questions as honestly as possible, telling Lisa about their backgrounds, jobs, and home life. Lisa listened carefully, taking notes as they spoke."It sounds like you two would make excellent parents," she said. "I think we can find a child who would be a great fit for your family.""Really?" Jodie's eyes lit up."Yes, there's an orphanage I'd like you both to visit. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have you there," Lisa said.

Two years later,Phil nearly groaned as Jodie presented yet another ridiculous home decor in front of him."What the heck is this?"He demanded.Jodie smiled proudly. "It's a wall hanging made entirely out of recycled bottle caps! Isn't it amazing?"Phil rolled his eyes. "It's a bunch of garbage glued together. How is that amazing?"Jodie's pouted. "You just don't understand art."Phil laughed. "Oh really? Is that what it is?"Jodie narrowed her eyes, sensing Phil's sarcasm. "Yes, it is. And it's also environmentally friendly. I think it's a great addition to our home."Phil shook his head. "I'm all for being eco-friendly, but that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice style and taste.""Stop being so grouchy all the time," Jodie snapped."I'm not grouchy.""Yes, you are!" Jodie argued."No, I'm not." Phil shook his head."Yes, you are."Phil sighed. He could never win an argument against Jodie. "Fine, maybe I am a little grouchy. But can you blame me when you keep bringing home these...u

"OH MY GOD!" Jodie screamed as soon as Phil carried her inside his loft."What?" Phil scowled and put her down."This is the ugliest place I've ever seen! No wonder you wanted to hire me as your interior decorator."Phil groaned. "Jodie, I was joking when I said that and this place isn't the bad.""Oh no? Then why does it look like a dungeon?" Jodie gestured to the dark walls and minimal furniture. "And what is with that couch?""It's comfortable," Phil defended."Comfortable? It looks like a block of ice!" Jodie shook her head. "We need to start from scratch. New paint, new furniture, new everything."Phil sighed. "Fine, but we are not making the place look like a unicorn threw up on it."Jodie grinned. "I was joking about that too. Trust me, Phil. I'll make this place look like a palace." "Alright, my queen. You can do all that later. Now can we get on with our wedding night?" He smirked.Jodie rolled her eyes playfully. "Patience, my king. Let me just light some candles and put on

Phil and Jodie stood at the altar, holding hands as they exchanged vows."I, Phil, take you, Jodie, to be my lawfully wedded wife," Phil said, looking deeply into Jodie's eyes. "I promise to love, cherish, and support you in all you do. I promise to be there for you in good times and in bad, and to always be your partner and best friend."Jodie's eyes filled with tears as she repeated the same words back to him. They exchanged rings and sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by their family and friends.After the ceremony, they walked hand in hand to the reception, where a live band was playing and everyone was dancing and having a good time. Jodie's vision for the décor had come to life, with elegant white and gold accents throughout the room.As they sat down for dinner, Jodie leaned over to Phil and whispered, "I can't believe we're actually married.""I know," Phil said, beaming at her. "I'm already regretting my decision," he joked.Jodie playfully punched his arm. "Too late n

"So, what did Phil say?" Faith asked Jodie later that day. "He said he would be my sugar daddy," Jodie said in a daze. Faith's eyes turned wide, but then she laughed. "What? I meant, what did he say about your illness?" Jodie blushed. "Oh, right. He was really sweet and understanding about it. He said he wanted to be there for me and that we'll face it together if it came to that. It was actually really nice to hear," Jodie said, a small smile appearing on her face. Faith smiled back. "I'm glad he's being supportive. You deserve someone who will be there for you, no matter what." Jodie nodded. "Yeah, I know. And I'm starting to think that maybe Phil could be that person." Faith raised an eyebrow. "Really? You're considering him as a serious option?" Jodie shrugged. "I don't know. It's just...he always pushed me away before but..." "But now he's showing a different side of himself," Faith finished for her. "I get it. Just be careful, okay? Don't let yourself get too swept up at

Phil's heart jumped when he saw it was Jodie calling him. Fucking finally."What's going on, Jodie? Why are you avoiding me?" He demanded."I'm not!" Jodie whined."Yes, you are."Jodie sighed. "Alright, yes. But I have a good reason for it.""And what would that be?"He could hear her taking a deep breath as if to brace herself."Phil...I'm sick," she said.Phil's heart dropped as he heard Jodie's words. "What do you mean, sick? What's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with concern."I went for a check-up the other day, and they found a small tumor in my brain," Jodie said, her voice trembling.Phil was stunned. He didn't know what to say. "I...I don't even know what to say, Jodie. I'm so sorry," he finally managed to get out.Jodie sniffled. "It's okay, Phil. I just wanted you to know. I don't want to hold back anything from you, especially if we're going to be together. I don't want to waste any time pretending things are okay when they're not. I just needed some time to process e

Phil paced back and forth in his room the next day."Lisa!" he yelled."Yes, sir?" Lisa poked her head in."Did you send the flowers?" he growled."Yes, sir, and they sent me a confirmation email saying that the flowers were received.""I see," Phil said grimly. Jodie hadn't said anything about it. Not even a simple text saying thank you. Was she really going to make him work this hard?Phil paced back and forth in his room the next day."Lisa!" he yelled."Yes, sir?" Lisa poked her head in."Did you send the flowers?" he growled."Yes, sir, and they sent me a confirmation email saying that the flowers were received.""I see," Phil said grimly. Jodie hadn't said anything about it. Not even a simple text saying thank you. Was she really going to make him work this hard?Phil thought for a moment before turning to Lisa. "Send her a dozen chocolate-covered strawberries." "Right away, sir," Lisa replied, taking note of the request before leaving the room.Phil couldn't help but feel frus

Jodie knew she couldn't keep her cancer a secret. She had to tell Faith, so she decided to book a flight to visit her again.Jodie spent the next few days making arrangements for her trip to see Faith. She didn't want to tell anyone else about her cancer yet, not even Phil. She was still trying to come to terms with the news herself and didn't want to burden anyone else with it.Finally, the day of her flight arrived, and Jodie made her way to the airport. She felt nervous and scared but also relieved to be getting away for a while. She needed time to think and process everything that was happening.She took a taxi to Faith's home. But as she arrived at the front door, she was scared to knock on the door.Jodie took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door. Her heart was pounding in her chest. She could feel sweat beading on her forehead as she waited for someone to answer.After a few moments, the door opened, and Faith stood before her with a surprised expression on he

Phil surveyed his loft carefully.He had hired an interior decorator to decorate the entire place because he didn't have the time or desire to do it himself.The decorator had chosen a modern, minimalist style with sleek furniture and clean lines. Everything looked nice and expensive. But for the first time since he moved in here, Phil realized it didn't feel like home at all.It didn't have the same feeling as Anthony's house. Anthony's house had the kind of warmth Phil had never felt in his own home, and now he knew why. It was because of Faith. Anthony had Faith, and Phil had no one.Phil had been so focused on his career that he had neglected his personal life. He had always thought that material possessions would bring him happiness. But they never did. And when he saw how happy Anthony was with Mayra, he decided to steal her from him, thinking she'd make him feel loved. And when that fell apart, he gave up on love altogether.But now, standing in his loft, he realized that love
