For the first time, Erika knew that for such a tough and muscular man, his voice could actually make people weak in their legs, but not her, or not at this point. Mas nangibabaw ang pag aalala niya sa kanyang future at career kaysa sa panandaliang pagbigyan ang pangangailangan ng kanyang katawan.
Kaya bago pa man siya tuluyang bumigay sa pang aakit sa kanya ni Logan, tinulak na niya ito at mas pinatigas ang kanyang ekspresyon.
“I’m sorry, pero hindi ko pinangarap maging kabit,” diretso niyang sabi sa lalaki na ikinagulat nito.
Logan’s jaw clenched and his eyes turned sharp while staring at Erika. “So, do you want me to marry you then?”
Nangunot ang noo ni Erika at agad na nakaramdam siya ng iritasyon. “I think you misunderstood our agreement, Mr. Vallejo. I made it clear from the beginning that our relationship is limited to bed. It doesn't matter whether you want to marry me or not. I have never had the idea of marrying you. Hindi ngayon, o kahit na kailan maiisip kong magpakasal sa isang katulad mo,” pinal na pahayag ni Erika kay Logan at mabilis na tinanggal ang kanyang dress saka nagpalit ng ibang pares ng damit para sa pag uwi niya.
“Good bye, Mr. Vallejo,” aniya at tuluyan nang umalis nang hindi nililingon ang lalaki.
Agad na kinastigo ni Erika ang kanyang puso at mabilis na kinuha ang kanyang cell phone. She was about to block Logan’s number, nang sa ganon ay hindi na siya macontact nito, ngunit bigla niyang naalala si Zion. Napanguso siya. Logan is Zion’s father, who is her favorite student.
Sa halip na iblock ang numero ng lalaki ay pinalitan na lamang niya ang pangalan nito sa kanyang contact. From now on, she will draw a line with this man and there will no longer be any involvement.
Ngunit tila ba inaasar siya ng tadhana nang maalala niyang home-visit day niya kinabukasan at nasa unahan ang pangalan ni Zion sa kanyang listahan na kailangan niyang bisitahin. The kid’s family is in a special situation. Hindi rin niya nakakausap nang maayos ang guardian nito kaya nagdesisyon siyang ito ang unang bibisitahin niya. At that time, Erika did not know that Logan was Zion’s father.
Marahas na bumuntong-hininga si Erika. Batid niyang abalang tao si Logan kaya sigurado siyang hindi niya ito makikita sa bahay na pupuntahan niya ngayon. May tsansa na hindi sila magkita.
Halos hapon na nang makarating si Erika sa tila mansion na bahay ng mga Vallejo dahil kinailangan pa niyang tapusin ang task niya sa araw na iyon. Isang gwapo at magalang na butler ang sumalubong sa kanya sa pintuan pa lamang.
Una pa lang niyang makita ang bahay ay namangha na kaagad siya. Ito ang unang beses na makakatungtong siya sa isang malapalasyo na bahay. The lights were on, and the villa in front of her was majestic. The shape was exactly the same as the castle in the fairy tale book!
It was hard to imagine that a man who dressed simply every time he met her lived in a place like this.
Kukunin na sana ni Erika ang shoe cover na nasa bag niya nang pigilan siya ng isa sa mga kasambahay sa bahay at inabutan siya ng isang pares ng tsinelas. Tila bago pa iyon.
“Nakahanda na po ito para sa inyo, Teacher Larson,” magalang na pahayag sa kanya ng kasambahay kaya agad niyang tinanggap ang tsinelas.
“Thank you,” tipid na tugon niya. Agad niyang hinubad ang high heels na suot niya saka sinuot ang tsinelas na kasyang kasya sa paa niya.
Nang tuluyan nang makapasok sa bahay ay nilibot niya ng tingin ang malawak na sala. There was no one under the crystal chandelier several meters high.
“Nasaan ho si Zion?” tanong niya sa matandang kasambahay na agad lumapit sa kanya.
“Naku, nag eensayo ng boxing. Halika ho kayo, Teacher Larson.”
The old housekeeper took her in the elevator to the second floor. She felt strange. Could it be that their living room was in the basement? Anong gagawin nila sa basement?
Bago pa man makapag-isip ng kung anu-ano si Erika ay bumukas na ang lift at agad na natanaw niya ang isang boxing ring. Sa loob ng ring na iyon ay natanaw niya ang dalawang pigura ng tao; isang malaking tao at isang maliit. The little guy was wearing gloves and his hair was soaked with sweat.
Logan was wearing a pair of black casual pants, with his upper body bare. Under the dim light, his eyebrows were lowered, and even if Erika couldn't see Logan’s expression clearly, she could still feel the surging murderous intent coming from all directions.
Sweat beads slid down the man's chin, and his Adam's apple rolled. SuchLogan was cold and rusty, completely opposite to the way he pressed himself to her in the locker room.
Saglit na naputol ang titig niya kay Logan nang biglang tumunog ang tila bell. Kitang kita ni Erika ang butil-butil na pawis ng lalaki na unti-unting bumababa sa kumikintab at batu-bato nitong dibdib, and then soaking into the scar little by little.
Dumako ang tingin niya kay Zion nang bumagsak ito sa sahig. His father is cold and strong that it reminded Erika of her military training instructor, who was stern and cold as well.
“Stand up and carry on. Knock me down!” Logan ordered his son firmly.
The poor Zion was exhausted and struggled to get up. His right foot gave out and he knelt down again. He placed his hands on the ground and gasped for air, but his father didn't think it was enough, so he picked up Zion with one hand, the muscle lines of his arms bulging.
Doon na nagpuyos ang galit sa dibdib ni Erika kasabay ng awa para sa kanyang estudyante. Ni hindi na niya pinansin ang nakakapaglaway na braso ni Logan. Mabilis siyang nagmartsa at pumasok sa boxing ring. Hinablot niya ang basang braso ni Logan dahil sa pawis at hinarang ang kanyang sarili sa harapan ni Zion.
“Enough, Mr. Vallejo,” mariin niyang usal sa lalaki na saglit na nagulat sa biglaang pagdating niya.
Erika’s slender, white hands were in sharp contrast to Logan’s bronze arms. Halatang mahina kumpara sa lakas na mayroon ang lalaki, ngunit tila hindi ito nakaramdam ng takot na pigilan ang huli."Get out of the way." Logan’s eyes were too cold, and he was filled with murderous intent, which made Erika feel terrible.Naalala niya ang mga pasa sa katawan ni Zion. Palagi niyang iniisip na dahil iyon sa kalikutan ng bata at posibleng kung saan-saan ito nahuhulog at tumatama. Now she understands the reason. No wonder Zion hit Yosef so hard, leaving the latter unable to fight back."Mr. Vallejo, Zion is only 6 years old, and he is your son. Hindi ba parang sobra itong training na ipinapagawa mo sa kanya para sa edad niya?” muling kontra niya sa lalaki na matigas pa rin ang ekspresyon.Logan’s eyes fell on her clean and fair face, "What position does Teacher Larson have in this house to say that to me, huh?”Ramdam ni Erika ang banta sa boses ng lalaki, ngunit hindi siya nagpatinag at mas pi
“Bitawan mo ako!” Mariing hiyaw ni Erika at inangat ang kanyang kaliwang tuhod para idiin sa tiyan ni Logan, ngunit agad na nahuli iyon ng lalaki.Her slippers fell down, and the toes painted with red nail polish curled up slightly. Erika Larson is a very contradictory person. She is gentle and kind in front of her students, but cold when getting along with the opposite sex. Anyone will praise her as a teacher.Napansin niya ang pagdako ng tingin ni Logan sa kanyang hita pababa sa kanyang paa. Erika’s fair white skin is really his weakness. Malinis na malinis itong tingnan at sa tuwing hahawakan niya ito ay para siyang napapaso. In those dark nights, only Logan knew how enchanting, seductive and hot the woman on the bed was. Iyon lang ang tanging nasa isip niya samantalang si Erika ay hirap na hirap na sa kanyang pwesto.Tanging ang isang braso na lamang niya ang nakakapit sa leeg ng lalaki at ang isa ay nakahawak sa rope para mamaintain niya ang kanyang balanse. Sinubukan niyang bawi
Erika usually only eats fat-reducing meals or meal replacements at night. Masyado siyang conscious sa kanyang katawan kaya mahigpit ang pagbabantay niya sa kanyang kinakain, ngunit hindi naman niya kayang tanggihan ang inaalok ng butler sa kanya.“Thank you.”Erika looked and saw that they were all low-calorie fruits such as tomatoes, kiwis, and carambola. There are also exquisite and delicious snacks on the side."Lahat ng pagkain dito sa mansion ay masustansya dahil iyon ang gusto ni Sir Logan na kainin palagi ni young master,” paliwanagng butler sa kanya na tila nababasa nito ang kanyang iniisip.Tipis na nginitan na lamang ito ni Erika at tinikman ang lemonade na binigay sa kanya dahil kanina pa nanunuyo ang kanyang lalamunan.“Bukod sa daily life ni Zion sa school, gusto ko rin sanang malaman ang iilang mga bagay tungkol sa pamilyang mayroon siya. Mr. Vallejo is away from home all year round. You must have more time to take care of Zion," pagsisimula niya.Nais na niyang umalis a
Erika clenched her fists when she heard Logan’s frivolous words. She wanted to pull the corners of his mouth to the back of his head and tie a bow, and stuff him with a mouthful of whole wheat bread. Sa sobrang iritasyon ay hindi na niya mapigilan ang kanyang sarili na maging bayolente sa lalaking ito na puro kabastusan ang lumalabas sa bibig.She heaved a deep sigh and calmed her expression. Nagkunwari pa siyang umubo."My preferences are not important, Mr. Vallejo, I want to talk to you about your son Zion,” kalmado, ngunit may diing pahayag ni Erika.Hindi na niya narinig na sumagot pa si Logan kaya nagpatuloy na siya sa kanyang trabaho. Nais na niyang matapos ito nang sa ganon ay hindi na humaba pa ang oras na makasama niya ang lalaking ito."Zion is a child with a sensitive mind and a withdrawn personality. Recently, he has been depressed and has lost his appetite. When he was taking a nap at school, I found that he had sleep disorders. Kahit nakakatulog siya ay mabilis din siyan
Upon hearing this, Erika immediately reached out to cover her thin lips and refused."No. I have to go, Mr. Vallejo,” mariing sambit ni Erika at akmang iiwasan na niya ito, ngunit pinigilan siya ni Logan.Kinuha nito ang kanyang kamay habang sumusungaw ang maliit na ngisi nito sa kanyang labi.“What I mean is, it's so late and I want to take you home."Agad na nag init ang pisngi ni Erika nang marinig iyon. She could feel her embarrassment crawling from her arms to her face. Bakit kasi hindi siya diretsuhin kaagad? Bakit kailangang ganon pa ang sabihin nito sa kanya?“Thank you, Mr. Vallejo, but no. I’m your son’s teacher at kapag nagpatuloy pa ang ganitong koneksyon natin ay baka mawala sa akin ang trabaho ko,” kalmado niyang tanggi sa lalaki at agad na binawi ang kanyang kamay.“It’s late. You should rest too,” aniya at tuluyan nang sumakay sa kanyang sasakyan at agad na pinaharurot iyon paalis sa mansion ni Logan. Erika couldn’t sleep well that night. She was plagued by nightmares
“And you, stupid bitch, maganda naman sana ang mukha mo, pero tatanga-tanag ka at walang diskarte! Uuwi sa susunod na buwan ang mayamang anak ng kumare ko. I'm warning you, you hooked this man. His family has a big oil company!""Mom, I don't want to fall in love right now, let alone get married."“At ano ang gusto mo? Tumanda kang dalaga dahil lang hindi ka pinakasalan ng Dylan na yon? I can't spare you if you let this rich son-in-law run away again. Do you think I will be stepped on by that bitch Amanda Castallejo for the rest of my life? No way, Erika. Gumawa ka ng paraan para makapag asawa ka ng mayaman!" Bulyaw muli nito sa kanya at tuluyan nang pinatay ang tawag nang hindi man lang siya hinihintay na magsalita muli.Is it sad that she didn't care about whether her daughter was injured from the beginning to the end? In her eyes, nothing is more important than marrying a rich man. Bagay na ikinasasama ng loob ni Erika, ngunit ano ang kanyang magagawa?After drinking more than half
Erika immediately restrained herself and bit her lip to endure the pain. Her pink lip was bitten and bled. Lasang lasa niya roon ang dugo. Ito ang pinakaayaw niya sa tuwing nagkakasugat siya—ang gamutin, dahil hindi niya kaya ang sakit na dumadagdag sa kanyang sugat dahil lamang sa mga gamot o cream na ilalagay roon. Na kahit nakainom siya ay ramdama na ramdam niya pa rin ang sakit dulot nito. The foreboding look on her face reminded Logan of those days and nights when she lay like this, holding his waist under her and yelling to be gentle.He suppressed the raging desire in his heart, and softened the strength of his palms a lot.“You’ve always been so loud, Teacher Larson,” nanunuyang bulong ni Logan na siguaradong narinig ni Erika.Nangunot lang ang noo ng babae nang marinig iyon, ngunit hindi na niya pinansin. Ang tanging gusto lamang niya ngayon ay umalis na ito. Hindi sila puwedeng magsama sa iisang silid nang sila lang dalawa dahil batid ni Erika na maaari siyang bumigay. Espec
Naalala ni Erika ang unang araw na nagkita silang dalawa ni Logan kung saan siya ay iniligtas nito. The man was dripping wet, his short black hair was clean and neat, his eyebrows were raised, his outline was sharp, his strong arms supported her soft buttocks, and he exuded the aura of hormones all over his body. Biglang pumasok sa isip ni Erika ang palaging sinasabi sa kanya ni Dylan noon kung gaano siya kaboring na babae.She hooked her arms around the man's neck and boldly invited him. It was Logan who unlocked her charm and made her feel physically satisfied even without love.Alcohol caused her brain to lose some ability to think. The man took the opportunity to kiss her, and this time his kiss was like a gentle breeze. His hands guided her arms around his muscular waist. Under her body was a soft sofa, and in front of her was a hot but hard man. Her body was filled with emotion much earlier than she thought.“You want me too, right?” Logan whispered to her ears, his voice was so
