"P-please release me, let me go..."
He shook his head rapidly as he tightened his grip around my waist. "N-no... I c-can't..."I bit my lips to avoid whimpering as if something tore my heart into pieces. Why did we end up this way? A love so painful and heartbreaking to assemble once again, it all fell down."B-Black, if this continued, we will only hurt ourselves. We can't save us." My sight becomes blurry as the tears occupied my eyes.The dullness in his eyes showed up even more. His once grey fascinating eyes were now dark and in pain. His eyes were trembling, his tears pooled from his eyes with his messy hair. He looked so hopeless. Should I say, 'Deserve?'"I-If I say my reasons, w-will you stay?" He stuttered.I froze for a moment before I pinned my eyes to him. There was a glimpse of hope in it yet it disappeared right away when I slowly shook my head.His broken voice broke free. "W-why?" It was like, he's a'H-he was d-dying...'I dozed up for a moment, feeling our fast heartbeats and listening to his helpless cries. It was my first time,------my first time to witness Black's hopeless' state. His trembling body, his shaky voice and wet eyes, it was all foreign for me to see.He tightened his embrace more as he whispered. "L-love please... D-don't leave me. I'm alright now, my operation was successful. I---I won't do it a-again..."My mind was busy processing what he said. But why does my heart still wasn't satisfied? Others may consider his reasons as valid, but why couldn't I accept it? Specially that he was willing to be Sofia's fiancee. I pulled myself back together and escaped myself from his embrace. I sat on the floor and leaned on the door while he's still kneeling in front of me, trying to hold my hand but I shoved it away.His expression was tired. "L-love..."I wiped my tears and looked at him as if all his confessions di
He was about to reach me but I shook my head slowly, making him stop halfway."Love..." He mumbled.I closed my eyes for a mere second before looking at him again. "What you all did to me was not considered as love Black, it was all selfish." I started. "I was glad that you have your reasons, but it was not enough. You all lied to me and didn't give me a chance to decide." I just felt that he made a decision for me, which made us break our marriage and killed my unborn child.I was relieved somehow, but I still didn't feel the satisfaction of his reasons. It was lacking. I observed how his eyes began to tremble once again. There's still one question that keeps on bothering me.My lips parted "T-then tell me," I stared at his grey deep eyes. "I heard that you have a child with you? Someone also told me that you were seeing other woman during our marriage. C-can you explain that to me if your really didn't cheat?" There was a sudden confusion from his expression. "W-where did you heard
“You want to escape?” J’s forehead furrowed. “Why?” He asked.I sighed, pulling myself together. “I---I just want to reflect on myself first and process everything.” I said, gaining his whole attention. “All those confessions were like a bomb that finally exploded and I wanted ourselves to heal first before anything else. I am afraid that if ever we’ll force ourselves again, it might hurt us both.”“Both of you will get hurt too if you’re apart from each other young madam.” His brown eyes radiated under the remaining light from the sky. “But I guess, you have a point there. The both of you also need to be independent in some cases.” He added.“Yes, we also need to be independent.” I mumbled with a low voice.I couldn’t remember how many days and weeks had passed since I was brought here, at this Island of his. Although I was disappointed of how my parents were involved with the past, I couldn’t hide the fact that I was longing for them as
“Where the hell is my wife?!” A loud, angry voice was heard outside the house. There was panic in his voice as I opened the door to go in.Rose ran near Black before she spoke with uncontrollable trembling from her tone. “T-the young m-madam is here y-young master.”Black automatically shifted his eyes to me and his panic eyes softened. His disheveled hair with his crumpled suit never lessen his handsomeness to drag other people’s interest. But w-why? Why am I still affected by his grey eyes that once neglected me? Why does my system still felt a nameless longing for his warmth and cuddles? Why did it turned out this way? Just why?“Love…” He walked towards me before caressing my hair gently. “W-where did you go?” He asked.I stared at his complicated complexion and sighed. “I wanted to breath some fresh air so I went out.” Looking away, my sight landed to the things on the couch. “W-why did you buy those?” He glanced at it, sm
“The young master would not want to witness you leave young madam, so he chose to stay in the room until you go.” Lily respectfully stated. I sighed, gripping the hem of my shirt. It’s ten in the morning and it was time for me to go. After our heart to heart talk last night, he finally granted my wish. He already contacted his people to travel with me back to the city where I belong, yet he wanted to be alone and decided to not see me off. I lifted my head, scanned my eyes around as the familiar warmth enveloped my heart. Although I was brought to this place without my consent, but for the last month that I’ve been here, I was able to love it. The kitchen where Black would often cooked for me. The living room where Kevin, him and I would watched a movie together, as well as the couch where he would pull me suddenly and embraced me tight as if I was his strength and comfort. I shifted my eyes above, looking at the close door where our room was located. The moment we shared was painfu
“Mommyyyy!” His cute little voice felt like a sweet music to my ears as I saw him running towards me with his nanny near him.I extended my arms, bending my knees as I giggled happily. “Mommy’s back baby Red!” Laughter’s then echoed harmoniously.Carrying my little three year old son, I nodded to Meredith before she walked to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I giggled when his small palm landed on my cheeks as if he was familiarizing my every features.“Mommy, I talked to daddy earlier…” He mumbled cutely. His eyebrows were thick and his features were sharp. He’s like a mini-Black but smaller. “He asked me when are we going home?”I stopped for a moment and looked at his grey eyes. Yes! He inherited his father’s grey eyes. “Did you? He video called you?”He nodded. “Daddy did. Good thing that my nanny is here when daddy called. Mommy? When are we going to see daddy in person?” He asked cutely. His pinkish lips pouted as if he was
Three days after my contract had expired, I told Red to get ready because we’re finally going home, with his nanny of course. Even with my model life, I still do many things on my own.“Is it final? I’m going to miss the both of you, specially this cute little boy.” Candice, who has a very dramatic reaction wiped her imaginary tears.I turned my eyes. “Alright Candice, I know that you’re having a good time with your-------”“Shhh! Don’t mention him again Bella.” She hurriedly cut me off. “Now go on and enjoy your flight.” She added, signaling us to go since I ruined her mood.I giggled, looking at her as if I didn’t care. Carrying Red in my arms, I glanced at nanny Meredith before she walked first. “Good bye Candice. Enjoy your date.”“I will. Enjoy yours too.” She teased.I just nodded lazily. “If I have one.”The flight was not so boring since I have Red with me. Although I’m a high-paid model in the indu
When we arrived at my family’s mansion, we were welcomed by my relatives and friends with a simple lunch together. However, I didn’t saw the person whom I’m eager to meet again after four years.“Princess!” I shifted my eyes to where the familiar voice was and saw my two handsome brothers walking towards me. Brother Casper slowly stretched his lips as he extended his arms. “How’s our little sister?” He playfully asked.I rolled my eyes. “I’m not little anymore.”“Are you?” Our oldest, brother Andrew teased.I hugged both of them and nodded. “I am.” Looking at my back, I signaled Red to come over. “By the way, my cute little son wants to great his uncles.” He unexpectedly looked at them calmly and did the ‘mano po’ before smiling. “Hello uncles. I’m Red De Villa, your handsome niece.” He stated seriously.They both clapped, amazed by my son’s behavior and intelligence. “Why Princess, our niece didn’t inher
BELLA’S POV:The sky was calm, the wind was gentle. A soft delicate hand touched my face that made me giggle. Staring at her grey eyes, a sense of love filled me. Her little hair and soft chuckles echoed inside the room as she slowly closed her eyes to sleep.“Sleep my dear Purple, mommy will look at you silently.” I whispered, slowly putting my little daughter on her crib. “What a beautiful girl you are.”It was just six months since I gave birth to our second child, a little girl named Purple D. 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. She was in my womb for nine months but she still got her father’s features. Even Red looks like his dad as well. It was so unfair.“Love?/mommy!” Two familiar voices made me tilt my head.“Shhh… She just fell asleep.” My eyes were on them both.Red giggled. “Sorry mom.” Her voice was low.I lift
BLACK POV:Doctors after doctors, their words still didn't change. I only have 10% chance for me to wake up after the operation, and it was not enough. My thoughts began to get puzzled with questions as it became difficult for me to answer. Without realizing it, I became distant to my wife. Anxiety and depression embraced me, with doubts in my hands. Crap! I wished for my wife to be the happiest woman. I wished to love her with all of my heart, but I was the one who broke my own promises. When I abruptly handed her the divorce papers, I couldn't even bare to see her sign it so I pretended that I have an urgent work to do. "Black, what's your reason for doing it to your wife?" My cousin asked. I shook my head and watched how my wife's car slowly disappeared. "You won't understand." After what happened at the restaurant, I wasn't able to see her again.Before she left while thinking that my cousin who's pregnant was my mistress, I kissed
BLACK POV:"Hi! Are you alone?" A cute little voice woke me up from my nap. As I lifted my head, her soft features surprised me. "Isn't it scary to be alone here?"That moment changed my life. Right after my birthday, my grandparents died and so I ran away from home to at least ease the pain that I'm feeling. I didn't know why my feet brought me here, in an empty amusement park. And as I saw the little girl before my eyes, something intense kicked inside of me.I, the oldest child of the De Villa family received a huge amount of pressure and expectations within the business circle. I could only feel the peace and comfort whenever I'm near with my grandparents. But now that they're gone, my world feels empty. My parents are all great, but I became dependent to my grandparents more and so it pained me to know that they're not coming back to life. I wasn't even a teen yet."I'm Princess, how about you? What's your name?" Her sparkly eyes didn't left
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
“Love, are you alright?” A strong solid arms wrapped around me from the back which made me flinched a little bit.I snapped my thoughts back to reality before slowly nodding my head. “I’m fine, where’s my milk?” He chuckled as he gave the cup of milk to me. “You go sit on the couch. 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
"E-excuse me ma'am but you're not allowed to g-get inside." A woman spoke with an obvious panic in her eyes.All eyes were on me, and almost all of them trembled slightly. As if I made a huge mistake and I'll be punish greatly until my last breath. What the heck am 'I even thinking? Com'on Bella!Smiling awkwardly, I pointed the door. "Well I guess I'll l-leave first. Sorry about that.""No need." Black with his baritone voice spoke. "Leave." He said with a hard tone.I felt sad, knowing that he was able to say that in front of all of the people inside. As I was about to turn around, Black's voice was heard again."Not you love, please stay." He softly said. He then stood up and reached me in his arms before wrapping his arms around my waist. "We will continue the meeting later." He announced.As I explored my sight, all of them didn't speak but it was obvious from their gazes that they were all confused and puzzled.
Right after I received a call from a man who claimed to be my husband's secretary, I immediately got my keys and was about to drive my own car when the driver volunteered to drive since it's one of Black's command.I didn't argue anymore, my mind was in chaos. I bit my lips when I realized something. Really Bella? You're just wearing a simple short and Black's shirt? Looking below, I'm also in my fluffy slippers with my bun hair."Young madam, we're here." The driver announced as the car stopped in front of the huge building.Nodding, I looked at him. "You may go home first, I will stay here for awhile.""Noted young madam." With that, I went outside the car before he finally left.I scanned the building and a familiar feeling embraced me. After four long years, I'm finally back again. The place where I worked and met new people including Mariel who became my personal assistant. Although I'm not ready yet to face them and answer all their
