“Wait, how did you do that?” I asked Helion while looking at my uncle having dinner with the woman in a restaurant, amazed and dumbfounded.

Helion smirked proudly.

“You are so good in matchmaking. Are you a deity of love or are somewhat like cupid?”

He laughed and shook his head. “Cupid? No, Katherine. That is the last identity I would like to have. I’d rather be a lowly angel of death than play that role. Being a matchmaker of humans is tiresome. And I don’t want to see people having successful love life because of me when I’m not fond of romance myself.”

We left the restaurant and walked along the street. I couldn’t help but smile thinking that Uncle will be in good place when I’m gone. There’s no point in being sad with my fate anyway. I’m happy enough to leave my Uncle in happiness. Sure, he would grieve for me, but he will get past it. Someone will be there to help him cope up. And it’s okay that he would forget about me. He should live the life I snatched from him.

    "Feliz cumpleaños, Amor," Joaquin once caressed my cheek.I laughed and watched our other friends went to our lounge. Nikki and Aileen kissed me. Landon hugged me. Those who pass by our lounge also greet me. I smiled to them sweetly."You're extra sexy tonight, Leira. Is it because it's your birthday? Or because we're already married and you're about to get married?" and Nikki."Come on, let's not talk about my life after college! We're here to celebrate my birthday. Aren't we?"Aileen laughed. "Yes, yes! Happy twenty two years of existence, lovely Aleira!""I thought Travis will come? Got tired of him?" Landon asked me, smiling."Oh, don't mention it. I don't need a crazy and jealous boyfriend. Will I be banned from going out tonight! E 'di goodbye!"One of the traits I hate the most is being too possessive. I don't want to be strangled and controlled by men just because we're in a relationship. I always tell my boys beforehand that I don't want the clingy and controlling type. I don

    I bumped into some but I didn’t care. I went in front of him to block his way. He stopped and eyed me with dangerous eyes."Move.""Why don't we dance first?""As I said, I'm not here to entertain–"He stiffened under the touch of my lips on his. I've never been so bold to kiss a stranger. But tonight, I managed. I guess it's because I want to prove that I can rule any man I want. Maybe he also brought alcohol so he was more courageous.My hands were on his nape, slightly pulling him down so I could kiss him better. His lips are soft, the only soft part of him I guess. It was delicious to kiss. I've kissed many boys but I never felt that strong urge to kiss a someone. Just now.I felt his warm hands on my waist, firm and ready to push me away. So I hooked my arm around his neck even more. I then grazed my tongue softly on his lower lip. He stiffened more, his hold weakening.I slightly tilted my head and grinned. I started stroking his nape with my fingers. His eyes turned darker and

    I fixed the belt of my denim shorts. With only my bandeau, my abdomen was exposed, showing the little piercing on my belly button."By the way, did you block Travis in your number and socmed?"I turned to Nikki. "Why?""To me he's asking your whereabouts. Of course I didn't answer directly and you might go further.""Yes, I blocked him. He's annoying. He doesn't want to touch me even though I'm already separated," I said and walked out of the suite."How am I? Should I block too? Eh, don't touch me. I'm just embarrassed to be slapped because I'm Jameson's friend.""Oh. You're still with your monkey business with Jameson?""Jameson is fun to be with, you know.""Fun in bed, you mean?" I laughed at the same time.Your housekeeper driving the cart we encountered almost collided."Well ..." Nikki laughed. "Of course, that's a factor too. But it's really fun to be with Jameson not just in bed."I smirked. "So he's also fun in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in anywhere?"We laughed as we ent

    We were swimming that afternoon. The shore was rowdy with the boys. We do water sports. Jet ski, snorkeling and surfing. Gio taught me to surf so I was sad to teach his friends.If there’s one sport I can do well, it’s surfing. It's one of my hobbies everytime I go to the beach. It's just nice to feel like you can keep up with the waves. It feels like I can tame the waves."So that's it!" I laughed and encouraged Gio and in less than five seconds he was wiped out again."You really have no hope in surfing, dude!" Bernard's cock."You're so cocky, Bernard. You didn't even last three seconds!" recovered by Gio."Well, and at least I accept I'm not up for surfing!"We all laughed. Gio approached me. He brushed his hair upward. Drops of water were trickling down to his body."I'm sorry, Ma'am. Whatever you teach, it's really hard," Gio laughed."Sus! Just beat Leira, eh!" his friend's cock.We laughed and rested first on the beach while drinking beer. Nikki and Bernard tried Jet Ski again

    I had just finished grooming my face when Nikki entered my suite."They're at the bar Gio. What? You're done?"I nodded. One more look in the mirror and I'm done. We went out there."By the way, Dianne said you're early tomorrow because there's a shoot going on with the families. So don't drink too much and you might not get up early.""I really have no intention of getting drunk. It's embarrassing for Dianne and Adam."When we entered the resort bar, I saw only wedding guests. The music was booming with the neon lights. The artificial smoke on the dancefloor further enticed those present. We immediately saw the group of Gio and Bernard and approached."The birthday girl is here," Gio said and touched my waist. "I'm sorry if it's too late for our celebration."I chuckled. "It's okay.""Oh, they're here already Adam!"I turned around and saw Dianne and Adam approaching. But they are not alone. Greco was also with them along with Carver and Lenz.Greco and I looked at each other. His ey

    I was speechless in panic. His damp lips were warm and soft like how it felt the first time I kissed him. But that’s different. This time, he initiated it!He stepped away a bit, looked at my lips before he looked me in the eye. Seriously."You want to play with me? Then let's start your fucking game. Now, part your lips."Before I could give any reaction, he kissed me again.He sucked on my lip, and just like a slave ruled by his master, my lip spontaneously opened. He gave me hard and unforgiving kisses. His arm was tight around my waist, while his other hand was on my nape, pulling it gently so I could open my mouth better for his deeper kiss.I was so close to his arm. I equaled his hot kisses with mine. His lips followed a provocative rhythm, kissing me in a skillful way, as if he had long mastered this art. I didn't know that just a kiss could get rid of guilt. This is it.So I was still very drunk when he withdrew the kiss. I catch my breath. He looked at me with dark weary eye

    I sighed and went out. My eyes were half closed, but when I saw who was standing outside, I opened my eyes properly."Where's your room?" he asked.I'm surprised. What? Are we gonna do it now?"Let's talk about our arrangement."Oh! Okay!I nodded and walked ahead. I prepared the keycard. He stalked me.We were both silent when we entered my suite. I turned on the light and gestured to him on the sofa."Still sober?" he asked.I smirked and sat across from him. "Do I look drunk?""I thought you're already drunk. You casually kiss any man like that, huh?"My eyes narrowed. "Wait. Is this about the body shot?" That's not even a kiss!"We should have rules in our arrangement."I crossed my legs and ran my finger through my hair. "Of course, we should.""No kissing other men," he said firmly, looking accusatory."Hmm. Why? You'll be jealous?" tudyo ko.The corner of his lips rose like what I said was very ridiculous. I know that. I'm just hoping for him. He's just too stoic, as if the jok

    Lydia laughed."That's impossible, Aleira. She mentioned in a magazine interview that her type is your conservative and modest woman. Your reputation is famous, so it's impossible you are."Oh. Really?I smiled. "Well, of course. You're very modest. I'm sure you're the one he's looking at.""I know, no! Do you already know that famous actress Jean Almonte? She confessed to him on a TV interview. But it's just deadma. What do you think? Will he notice me?""I don't know, Lydia. Why don't you try it, so we'll see?" I challenge.She chuckled shyly. "I'm not as bold as you. I can't approach a man like that. But maybe I could ask Adam for his number?""Hmm. Why not?"My cousin smiled widely, as if there's so many wonderful thoughts running on her mind. I just didn’t break that and let him.The whole morning was consumed for the shoot. When they returned, Dianne resumed in another part of the resort. The aerial shoot was very nice. That was one of my favorite parts. Shots were also taken in

    "You know what, darling? It makes me a little sad that I have to pass you on to another man. I had barely known you for a few days, but here you are, getting married very soon." Father laughed. "But do not get me wrong. It is okay to marry. I am fine and I am also glad too that there was someone like Ares who was there for you when I was not there. I will always be thankful to him, and I support your marriage with all my heart. And I think I know what could hush my little sadness away. You should give me grandchildren as soon as you are married.""That will not be a problem, Your Majesty," Demitri responded to the latter part of Father's speech. I looked sharply at him but he only stared back at me with gentle and loving eyes. How could I not love this very adorable man, anyway? Anyone in my shoes would certainly break her principles in order to be with him just like what I did. Loving Demitri is worth it. He is all worth it. And I am so lucky to have him as my man who would love me t

    Raja slowly vanished and returned to a red smoke. It then went back to my necklace, and all I was able to do was watch the last trace of him vanish in thin air.‘Raja, are you there?’ I asked through our mind link, hoping that he’s just in the necklace and still could talk to me.But his response didn’t come. Not even his usual growl when he doesn’t feel like answering my question or when I’m doing something stupid. All I hear was silence. Empty silence that made me feel so cold inside.“Your annoying pet is now sealed, dear Ophelia. He can’t interfere my business anymore,” Ren said evilly.With tears in my eyes, I tried to talk to Raja again, but there was no answer. He was really sealed into endless sleep and I don’t have the least bit idea how to awaken him. Even King Arthur and Queen Romina thought that there was no way to awaken David. They said that the seal can only be broken by the one who did it, but in this case, I doubt if Ren would do me such favor or I could force him to.

    I leaped and attacked Ren aggressively. Raja followed my move, probably thinking that he should finish Ren off before I lay my hands on him. But to my surprise, the hall’s floor turned to ice and I heard another growl, from an unfamiliar dragon this time. An ice dragon went in and attacked Raja. I saw how Ren smirked with satisfaction etched in his eyes, so I figured that the dragon must be his.“Surprised, sweetheart? You see, I am also a dragon summoner. The two of us are the same. We fit for each other. I guess it’s what they call destiny?”“Destiny, you fool! What did you do to them?! Where is Demitri?!” I yelled and lifted my hand in the air. My blazing sword appeared and I held onto it tightly as I sauntered forward.I lashed my sword in the air, creating waves of fire, but he blocked it so fast with his wind blades.“I heard you are pregnant? One month? Two? It’s not visible yet so I wonder. I suggest you should just kill that child. Its father is dead, after all. You can bear

    I adjusted my posture before following Raxon to see who was knocking. I was somewhat uneasy because of what just happened."Hi Rax!" It was a beautiful woman, maybe on her mid-twenties. It had a big smile but when it came to me the look suddenly disappeared. Raxon's admirer, huh? Maybe, they are close. It just went in and went straight to the room."Katrina."She looked at him again and smiled sexily. He openly glared at Raxon's body which I almost felt. The fool, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care if anyone sees him naked."I heard you were coming, so I went right away."I couldn't escape the fact that her breasts were almost bulging because of the clothes she was wearing. I was overwhelmed with irritation. Just when I'm on the verge of leaving them, Raxon held my waist. I notice the sourness of the woman's face because of that."Yes. We want to take a vacation for a while. By the way, this is Amara. My fianceé." Katrina's mouth dropped open, obviously startled. Even I was also

    "I've seen you a few times at social events, but I always lose the chance to talk to you. Well, you look so stiff and distant. Looks like you don't want to get close .." He chuckled. Not interested of talking with him, I just smiled a bit."Are you ---""Amara." His words were drowned by Raxon's voice. I turned around. Standing with an authorative stance, he looked at me darkly. His forehead was furrowed, as if someone didn't like what he saw."You done?"He nodded once. He came closer to me and offered his hand. I immediately reached for you and stood up."Who is he?" He was looking at David. Eyes were cold, nothing can be seen but indifference for the person in front."Is he with you France?" David, now also standing. I nodded slowly."Raxon Bermudez, right?""Yes.""David Ardiente." It reached out its hand. But Raxon just glanced at it and then turned to me as if he had no intention of accepting it."Your clothes are already sent in the villa. You should change." My eyes almost wid

    I was greeted by facilitators entering the seminar venue. I saw many acquaintances before. Mommy's friends were even there. Even though the smile was formal at me, I could see the judgment in their eyes. I understand it. It's been like that these years."It's good that your business is up and running, hija?" An older woman with a cunning look smiled at me. Her air wasn't friendly at all."That's good. Tito Demitri's expertise in business was a great help.""Oh! If so, it's true that you're marrying the second successor of Salamedas?"What?Even before I could recover, another elder approached. I never had a chance to answer the question because they had a new topic. I just excused myself and found a chair.The seminar was held in a five star hotel. My plan would have been to just book there so I wouldn't have to travel. But Kirk's offer is also okay. I really need to reduce the cost especially and more will be needed in the factory. So it's reasonable.There is a little more program b

    Whatever happened to us then is no longer with me. It's been eight years. The amount of things that have happened in my life. And I can't almost remember how it felt. All I know is, I was so hurt when he left me. I was also very angry. But maybe because of too much problems, I eventually went numb and forgot about it."Uh, good afternoon. Are you the owner of RM Tower or just an assistant?" I asked first.He didn't look shock when he saw me. It was as if he was expecting that. Of course, for sure the agent mentioned my name! But why didn't the agent even say the owner's name? And I didn’t even ask?"I'm the owner, Miss Escareal.""Oh ..."It is not impossible that he acquired properties within those people."I'm sorry. The agent didn't tell me and I didn't ask. So ... order first?"I called the waiter."Sorry. I ate my lunch first. I hope it's okay with you," I said formally."It's fine."Even when the waiter was on the side, his gaze remained on me. If not lang the waiter laid the m

    After talking to the principal, I left his office. I took a deep breath and turned down the pathway out through the row of doors. One more turn and I saw who was waiting for me at the corridor.Frowning and frowning, Zach kicked the plastic bottle at his feet. His hair was a bit messy and there was still a stain on his uniform. He was staring darkly at the bottle, looking so pissed. When he looked up at me, his expression softened and he straightened up."I'm sorry about it, Tita."I approached and adjusted the folding of his collar."I told you, didn't I? I don't want you to get into a fight, Zach. You shouldn't have punched that kid.""But I was pissed!"I stared at him."About what? Because he teased you about being an orphan?""No. I'm not pissed about that because that's true. I'm pissed because he called you crazy!"I sighed."And you know that I'm not, right?"He averted his gaze. "Of course."My life felt like hell after Ate Diana's death. I can't talk. I can't eat.

    "It's you. You're too uptight. It's just your job that you're always doing so you don't know what's going on around you," he laughed."You're going to a seminar next week, right? Let's leave Manila together. How many days have you been there?""Three days or four. Maybe I'll talk to the agent for the property," I said."Are you going to a hotel? I have a condo. It's big and has three bedrooms. You can sleep there if you want."My eyebrows rose."In your condo? You mean, where do you bring your women? No thanks. I can pay for my hotel. I might get sick there.""Woah. It's serious! I don't bring them to my condo, Drey. I'll book a room, you know. I'm the one who's feeling good after all?""For all I know, you just have a plan for me."His jaw dropped and laughed hysterically. Of course that's just a joke. All these years, Kirk was with me and I am aware of his pure intentions.Back then, I never thought we would be this close because I really didn’t like him. But I found an unexpected f
