2024-10-29 19:42:56"Yes! That pose is magnificent."
I held Caleb's head tighter and raised my left leg just near his waist. I could feel a slight touch of his nose on my neck as we pose a much more intimate picture.A few more clicks before Mrs. Kim ended our morning shoot. "It's a wrap everyone!"Mariel hurriedly went near me as I stepped backwards to give a little distance between me and Caleb. She then gave me a glass of water before handing my vitamins."We have three hours before the photoshoot resume miss Bella."I drank it before giving the glass back to her. "Should we eat something delicious?""It depends to your diet miss Bella."Shrugging my shoulders, I sat down next to Caleb so that the make up artist could erase the colors that they put on my face. Mariel helped me wear my white dress before we bid our goodbye's to the crew for our lunch.We decided to eat in a five-star restaurant that was locate

SOFIA’S POV: “Maybe someone special? I noticed that your mood changed.” I stated. “Yeah…” Bella’s face was light and obviously happy. “Someone special.” She added. Not like earlier, our lunch became much more harmonious. Bella lifted up the mood and the girl who’s beside her named Mariel would also speak a few words to blend in. Compared to the toxic and chaotic time when I’m in showbiz, this lunch was more simple yet calm. It was more memorable. “It’s almost time, we should get going.” She stated. I lifted my head to see Bella’s beautiful face. I didn’t know why but every time I see her face, half of my heart would feel sad, yet there’s also an unknown feeling that would want to burst out of my chest. Whenever I hear her voice, my ears would feel tingle and a weird thing would tickle my stomach. I sighed. “Do you still have work to do?” “Miss Bella has a photoshoot together with sir Caleb later, miss Sofia.” Mariel, the innocent looking girl beside her answered. Although I wan

As the cold water traveled on my skin, the thoughts that was flashing in my head disappeared, yet the pain that it caused me was still there. It didn't heal at all, the pain was just being towered by my eagerness.After doing my routines, I wrapped myself with a small towel that was enough to hide my chest down to my thighs, half of it was still visible though.I chose to wear a more comfortable clothes since I will be just spending my time in my hotel room. The moment I finished wearing my clothes, I turned my back to get my phone on bed but the sight of a big man made me froze.His grey eyes scanned my body from head to foot. He was still wearing his clothes from earlier but his looks was more messy. Did he saw me earlier? Why didn't I realize that he was here? Gosh! I swear, my cheeks might be blushing right now but heck, I should just act that I didn't care.I cleared my throat. "Why are you here?""Who cal

It has been a week since Black began to come in my hotel room to sleep every night. Nothing happened, we just shared the bed in a literal way. "The magazine for this month will be released soon miss Bella, the company planned to have a field trip at C city next week." Mariel stated as she placed the bag on the table.I sat on the sofa and crossed my legs, trying to rest for awhile after the shoot earlier. "Is it fine if I don't join?""The boss specifically said that you should be there."Sipping a glass of water, I looked at her tired face. "So they will postpone the shoot just to have a field trip?""It's more like a team building I guess. It was Yenna's suggestion, the one who organized the models wardrobes and the boss agreed.""Instead of a trip, why can't we just rest?"She shook her head. "It might take four days to one week. They said that it'll not be too exhausting and we will definitely enjoy o

"I will wash the dishes." The table was already clean after I finished washing the dishes. It was untill 9 PM that I decided to lay on bed, far away from him who was reading a book. As I stared at him, I was mesmerized by his hot and seductive look. His eyeglasses was adding his attractiveness and the way he flipped the pages were so eye-catching. Even the tip of his fingers can be considered as an outstanding quality of one of the most popular man in the world, it was enchanting to even witness.'I'll be going now'A sudden glimpse of realization hit me. The fact that those four words were the one I despise the most till now, it saddened me slightly. The picture of his loving eyes was carved in my heart for so long... so long that it was slowly fading away. My heart was now crawling to heal it's wound, but I couldn't lie about the scar that was now marked within me."Love..."A low voice catches my attention that made me looke

"What do you mean?" Nervousness creeped inside my heart as his deep grey eyes flashed a sudden conflict emotion. His mischievous smile was plastered on his slightly wet lips. "Princess..." He whispered with his fingers crawling down my waist. "Believe me, I'm obsessed with someone you definitely know." "W-who?" His baritone voice sent shiver down my spine. "You...My love..." "What the hell are you -------hmp!" The warmth in his body embraced mine as our lips touches. Huge voltage of electricity traveled from my fingertips down to my toes, as if my whole body was experiencing a short circuit in an instant. For a moment, my brain stopped functioning. When his kisses crawled down to my neck, the picture of Sofia who was crying in tears popped visibly before my eyes. I once hurt her innocent love, and I don't want to commit such mistakes once again, even if that person whom she love wasn't me anymore. I tried to push him away but I couldn't. "B-Black, stop it! S-stop!" Scrambling fr

MARIEL’S POV:“I thought you’re going to kick me as soon as I hugged you?”I turned my eyes before staring at my dramatic big brother who just returned from France. He still has his annoying smile yet approachable aura, as expected to a handsome Hemingway like my brother.He patted my head like a pet before giving me a warm smile. “How’s my little sister? Did that man treat you right while I was away?” His brown honey-like eyes glittered under the sun.I pouted and linked my hand onto his arms then walked towards the car. “Our boss has always been cold and strict, he’s handsomeness is a waste since his temper is quite high.”We went inside the car and the driver started the engine then drove to our destination. My brother just came home after managing our business abroad for almost a year. The reason why I decided to work at mister Black’s company was because I wanted to explore while my brother was away. He wouldn’t even let me hang

"I said I don't want to Black De Villa." His face showed an unpleasant emotion before it changed to something more reasonable. "Why? As far as I remember, you like riding a ferries wheel?" "I do..." I took a deep breath before glaring at him. "But I didn't say that I'll buy one. Can you be more serious like before Black? Why the hell would you like to buy me my own ferries wheel? Where should I put it? In the backyard? Gosh!" I wanted to have a peaceful day since my body felt so much stronger than yesterday, but this man wouldn't even let me have a good rest, pestering me about things that I like and don't. I received a call from Candice earlier, saying that they had to move their schedule for about a week because of an urgent matter. I was disappointed to know but at the same time, I was glad since she got an offer that pays a nice amount of money. "If you don't like the ferries wheel, how about a carousel? I remember that you also like it before." I turned my eyeballs strictly

"Good morning miss Bella!" "Morning." I put my bag on the table and let the artists assist me. I closed my eyes and leaned on the chair before they started to work for my make up. "Hi, do you know where's Mariel?" I asked, wondering why she hadn't contact me for the past two days. "Mariel is on leave for a week or two ma'am. I heard that her brother just came home from France." Brother? Does that mean, ------- "What's the name of her brother?" I couldn't just say that I know her brother, they would ask me questions and it would probably dig my past memories with that man. Since I'm still closing my eyes, I couldn't see their expressions. Should I just keep my silence and don't bother myself to ask? "Actually ma'am, we don't know either. Mariel is such a mysterious person that she didn't even share what's his background or what his parents looks like. We have no idea." Her words were sincere. Another one spoke. "Indeed. I bet his brother is a nerd like her, but handsome of cours

De Villa. I was quite pissed when I realized that she looked like a girl version of her dad. A very beautiful and amazing one.

When I woke up the next day, it was as if my whole body was tortured roughly last night. I looked at my side and saw the sleeping face of my handsome husband. My heart ached because of what he said and what he experienced because of my selfishness. I stared at him and began to caressed his face. Last night, I already told him everything that Sofia told me. He was so mad and well, jealous. He kept on telling me that I must distance myself with her and that he can forgive her but not forget what she did. Last night as well, I found out about his disruptive behavior disorder that pained me more. There was no cure, but we can at least treat his disorder properly to lessen the possibility of its attack.I chuckled when I felt his arms around my waist tightly. "Good morning love." I then kissed his lips. "How's your sleep?"He slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Good morning too love. I slept well because you're beside me.""Really?"

“What’s this?” I asked back while raising my hand that’s holding the bottle of medicine. Yes Black! Answer me, what’s this? What’s behind your eyes? What’s the lie that you’ve been keeping?He walked near me as he wore his bathrobe. Black then grabbed the bottle of medicine from my hand before clenching his fist. “Why do you have this?”“Why?” My forehead narrowed. “Does it have anything to do with your lies again?” I met his grey eyes with my serious look. I want to know everything Black. I want you to spill the tea, every single detail. “Why are you silent? Answer me!”The room suddenly went silent for awhile. The cold wind from outside slowly embraced me through the open windows. He bended his knees down to level his face with mine as I’m sitting at the edge of the bed. I saw how some droplets of water from his hair traveled down to his jaw. His gazes were unusually serious with his intimidating look.I crossed my arms in front of my ch

“There you are.” A sudden voice woke me up from spacing out. Looking at the man who’s now next to me, a feeling of warmth erupted inside my chest.Tapping my fingers on the table, I giggled. “I thought you’ll never find me. The cafeteria is indeed crowded.” I noticed everyone’s eyes on us. Some are even whispering and murmuring something which was not hard for me to guess. “Let’s eat.”“Hmm… I’ll get you your friend chicken love.” He stated which made me looked away from him. The crowd went silent and their faces went shockingly surprised. Who would not be? If he just addressed a woman as ‘love?’I looked down and slowly nodded my head. He stood up and went to the counter, not bothering that everyone were tailing him with their deep and sticky stares. Maybe they were puzzled of why he’s treating a woman this way. Giving the fact that they didn’t know that I’m his legal wife who left him four years ago.Exploring my sight, the c

I’ll just finish my papers fast so we can have lunch later.”“Alright.” I sat on the couch and sipped my milk. I was in a trance for awhile that I didn’t even realize the time. Almost half of the milk in the cup got cold and I didn’t even notice it if it wasn’t for Black.He adjusted his suit and looked at his watch before walking towards me. With his grey mesmerizing eyes, he asked worriedly. “Did you not like the milk? Was it so sweet?”I immediately shook my head. “No, I was just thinking about something.” The bottle of medicine.He then bended his knees before me. “Should we eat lunch now?” “Hmm…” I forced a smile before g
