~Agathe~ It happened again. I have no idea where in the world that bellend's room is. I swear this house is so huge I got lost for the umpteenth time. I've been almost through all the rooms on the second floor and I am beyond worn out. Frustrated, I sat down on the carpeted floor, in the middle of the corridor to rest. A soft bark caught my attention out of the blue. When I turned around, I noticed a cute furry animal coming my way and wagging its tail cheerfully. It was the pretty gray dog of the bellend. I giggled with so much joy. "Mishka. You're here." I patted her head and she sat in between my legs, trying to lick my chin. "God. How can you be so cute, huh?" Didn't know before that I am fond of dogs. Without hesitating, I embraced Mishka's soft body and it was the best feeling ever. For a little while, the longing I had for my mother vanished into thin air. In a trice, an idea popped into my head. I fixed my gaze on Mishka's eyes and pleaded. "Mishka, can you tell me
~Agathe~ To sleep in the same room with him was all I wished for. For the mere reason that I don't want to be alone for the rest of the night. Heck, I don't mind sleeping on his couch as long as I won't be returning to my own room alone and scared to death. However, I could tell that his dark amber eyes desired something else. All of a sudden, it seemed very intense. Filled with sensuality I didn't know he could possess. Though, it was also me who pushed those thoughts away. No way in hell, I am being delusional.There is no way that this bellend would have a sexual desire for me. So with a quivering voice, I asked. "W-what do you mean?" In a flash, his smirk shifted into a deadly grin. One that is promising me I wouldn't like what I am about to hear."Feigning innocence, love? I see." "What?"Is he mocking me? The nerve of this guy. "I'm not pretending to be innocent. I'd rather say that I don't want to make assumptions." "Very well, then. Listen to me very carefully, love.
~Gunther~I sought the truth out from her ocean-blue eyes. And there, I perceived how badly she wanted me right now. With the same fervor of how much I was burning for her as well. That if I won't put it out, I would go berserk. I simply desire to taste her once. Just once. Maybe, she will be out of my mind after that. I certainly hope so. "You sure you won't regret that, love?" I inquired, wanting to be certain. Putting pressure on her."'Cause I don't want you accusing me of 'harassment' first thing in the morning." She closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of my thumb taunting her left tit. I kneaded it gently, applying a firm pinch that compelled her to purr like a cat. "Ohh, god. ." Did the same thing on her right tit and she thumped her head on the wall. Looking like she lost it all, grunting in pleasure inside my arms. "Please, I beg you." She whispered. "What is it, love? What do you want me to do?" I teased her. "Kiss me." I grinned, satisfied by her submission. "I
~Agathe~I woke up the next morning feeling completely roughed up. My whole body was aching in pain, including my heart. Everything feels surreal. I felt as though I was in a nightmare.Undressed, still snuggled inside the comforters. I was unable to stand or move as I recall everything that happened last night.Was sure as hell we connected, we weren't just lusting over each other. So, I couldn't fathom why the bloody hell he'd suddenly abandoned me, not giving a damn to explain what went wrong in our little lovemaking. If I can address it that way. He was a bloody womanizer, for Pete's sake! "That bellend." I muttered under my breath. I certainly told him that he was the first man in my life. Most probably, he got turned off by that. "So, what? Does he like women who are far more experienced than me? I was being a humdrum in bed, is that it?" I noticed how bright the day was when I looked out of the window. The snow stopped falling last night. I exhaled a deep breath, realiz
~Agathe~"Unfortunately, I never do it twice with the same woman. Hope you get the idea." What a rake. Grr. Is he implying that I want to sleep with him again? If looks could kill, he would be lying dead by now. I sat upright, lifting my chin. I should at least save my pride. "What are you talking about? Did something happen between us last night? 'Cause I don't seem to remember anything."Furrowing my eyebrows, squinting my eyes. Did my best to look like I had forgotten everything. It completely stunned him, his lips parting in bewilderment. Ha! Take that, bellend! Serve you, right? "All I could recall was that I slept soundly in my room, with Mishka by my side. By the way, we're friends already. Hope you don't mind."I mimicked his mocking tone in the last part. Mishka barked on the corner upon hearing her name. When I turned to look at her, Yesenia and two other maids were tending to her and feeding her. I stared back at the bellend, giggling in satisfaction. "See?" It wa
~Gunther~I was gone for a mere second and Agathe had already attracted a bunch of men shopping around the store. The worst part, one of them boldly approached her and it was none other than Thaddeus.My closest cousin. We are the same age. Thaddeus never bothered to strike up a conversation with those women I had brought into his boutique before.For him to introduce himself to my wife first is something. He must have been enthralled by Agathe's exceptional beauty. Even in a plain gray hoodie jacket and sweatpants of mine, she still stood out. She wasn't wearing makeup or anything for that matter. Her charm was further enhanced by her long, wavy, reddish hair. It was something that could kindle a man's desire in any way. Not to mention that her ocean-blue eyes were the kind of strongest weapon she didn't know she had. I came to a realization that those orbs could gradually tame the Devil in me, little by little if I wasn't careful. I should probably ask grandma the next time I
~Gunther~I punched Thaddeus straight in his face, he stumbled on the tiled floor. That was a massive blow I am certain would make his lips swell for a few days. "Gunther!" Agathe screamed right after but I was too enraged to hear her cries. Everyone around us was alerted. Though, no one dared to come closer because they unequivocally knew what I could do to them and their families. I own this fucking city for Pete's sake! "Quit screwing around my wife, bastard! You just met her and you dare to act like I owe her to you or something! Are you for real!" "Gunther, please!" Agathe embraced my body and attempted to pull me away from Thaddeus. She was crying, begging me to stop. Which is so unlike her.Why is she crying, anyway? Who is she crying for? Is she trying to protect Thaddeus from me? Is that it? Calixto and my bodyguards entered the scene seconds later. They must have seen the commotion from the glass wall. "Get him away from me, Cal! Or, I would forget that we are shar
~Agathe~Hence, even before we met, he already belonged to someone else.Some woman had already owned his heart, probably the mother of the little girl. All of a sudden, I could feel my heart exploding in agony. It was painful, I could barely breathe. I should have known better before letting my guard down around him. Grr. I am fully aware I should not be feeling that way. I have no right to complain, no doubt about that. 'Cause who am I, anyway? We just met yesterday morning to be exact. Not a fancy meet-cute or anything. Besides, I am nobody who owes him more than a million dollars for my mother's surgery. Though, truth be told, there was a part of me that had that wishful thinking.What if fairy tales are real and we are actually meant for each other?It was I who also dismissed that idea.Silly, silly me. I turned to look at them again and noticed one thing. For the first time, the bellend seemed so gentle and soft by the way he embraced his daughter. Gone was the terrif
~Agathe~“Baby, can you forgive me too?” Gunther asked our daughter when she had calmed down a little. “I’m so sorry for failing to be your father for the past four years. I’m so sorry that I tried to push you away and rejected you so many times that I lost count.”“I understand, Daddy. Yennie would always tell me that you were just hurting because of Mommy's disappearance.” We were both silent after that, but Carlyle went on.“I love you so much, mommy. I love you so much, daddy. I forgive both of you.” Carlyle told us, intertwining her hands with mine and Gunther's. “Please, mommy, don't ever leave us again. Don't ever leave me and Daddy again. Daddy and I need you here. We need you.” I nodded at her.I know it will take her a lifetime to truly forgive me, but I am still willing to do anything just to make up for the time I spent without her and Gunther.“I love you so much, too, my sweetheart.” When Gunther's gaze met mine, I whispered to him as well. “I love you so much, too, Gunt
~Agathe~[Present Time]I opened my eyes in haste and furrowed my eyebrows when I heard something inside the house. The flashbacks playing in my mind had stopped but I couldn't care less since I suddenly got worried.The sound seemed to be a commotion, and the only people left inside the house were Graziella and Thaddeus.I quickly stood up and ran towards the house, not looking back at my parents’ graves. I opened the kitchen’s backdoor and entered the house, desperately searching for Graziella and Thaddeus.What if Gunther had followed us and hurt Grazie and Thad because he couldn't find me inside the house? “Grazie? Thad?”I gasped and felt as if my soul had been ripped away from my body when I noticed Gunther and Thaddeus brawling on the floor. My heart tightened in pain when I also noticed Gunther's handsome face was covered in bruises and scratches.“Where is my wife, Thaddeus!” Gunther punched Thaddeus in the face, sending him flying into the wooden coffee table.The coffee tab
~Agathe~I remembered growing up with a lot of hatred engraved in my heart.Despite being surrounded by good people, I never forgot the promise I made to myself when I was five years old.[Flashback, five years ago]“You're late again, Miss Capucine.” Our English teacher said as soon as I entered the classroom.“I'm sorry, Miss Kim.” I apologized and went to my seat. I opened my literature book to page fifty three as instructed on the board.As expected, my classmates began whispering about me. “Goodness. I cannot stand her. She is so pitiful. She makes our village look cheap with her cheap clothes.”“Her beauty means nothing if his father is already dead. Who dies in an avalanche anyway?” Then everyone laughed, and Miss Kim did nothing to stop them.“Everyone knows you have a sick mother and work in a restaurant. But, do you really have to be late to my class every day, Miss Capucine?” Miss Kim replied angrily to me, her nostrils flaring.“I'm sorry.” That was all I could say again.
~Agathe~“You should take a shower first, Agathe, and change into clean clothes.” Graziella reminded me as we finally entered the house.I gasped, and tears nearly welled up in my eyes again. Everything inside my house was immaculately clean and organized.Graziella patted my back. “I come back here every day to clean and water your plants, hoping that one day you will return home. I know you were only gone for a few weeks, but the thought of not seeing you again tormented me.”Graziella quickly put some shoes on my feet. “I figured you would want to visit your mother and father first, so you should wear these. God, your feet are so cold.”She wiped away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks and stood up again. She guided me to the kitchen, where the backyard door is located.Thaddeus was quietly following behind us as we opened the door to the backyard, and my mouth opened wide in amazement once more.“How on earth. .” That was all I could say as I stared at everything in front o
~Agathe~This definitely changes everything.How am I going to look at Carlyle now that I have killed her own grandparents?I was shocked when Graziella snatched the papers from my hand and threw them back on Thaddeus’ lap.“She is not going back to that mansion. Drive us straight to Snowflake Village, Silvestri. I'm going to hide her so that no one can hurt Agathe again.”A tear fell from my eye until I could no longer stop it. I suddenly burst into tears and broke down.How is this possible? How did Carlyle become my daughter?How did someone so cute and adorable come out of me?How will she forgive me now that there's a possibility she saw me unaliving her own grandparents?“Grazie. Carlyle is my daughter.” I said with a hint of happiness in my voice. But, I know they can sense the utter devastation deep inside me as well.Graziella adjusted her body to stare at me from the passenger’s seat, and her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke to me.“I know, pookie. And, I am really sor
~Agathe~I was astonished when Yesenia gave me a weird look. Her eyes reflected a faint hint of disappointment.My heart fell when she gave me that look.I expected her to be the first person to understand that I did not intend for any of this to happen.I thought she would defend me and assure me that everything would be fine.“Arghhh. .” I heard someone groan behind me and when I glanced, I saw Calixto slowly sitting up.His eyes remained closed as he gently held the back of his head, even though it was still bleeding a bit. I wanted so badly to show how grateful I was that he woke up and even wanted to ask him if he was feeling alright.However, as I turned my attention back to Gunther, I noticed that his gaze never wavered. He continued to look at me with the same, even colder eyes.I felt like my whole world had turned upside down. I do not want to live any longer after everything I am experiencing right now.My eyes widened when he tried to take a step toward me while still hold
~Agathe~I felt Gunther straighten his body after seeing the gun being pointed at me. He dropped my arm that was holding him and shielded me with his body.“You have the audacity to point a gun at my wife, father? Seriously, where is all of this confidence coming from?”“You are full of debts, your life is hanging by a thread, and the only thing keeping you alive is me. And, yet you have the audacity to point a gun at my wife!”I tried to look at Gunther's father, but Gunther would not let me. He held me in place by placing his arm in front of me.“You caused me to be in so much debt, you fucking piece of shit!”“And, whose fault is that, father? You are the one who gambled away all of your money! You weren't forced to do that! I only set the trap for you! It was still your decision to do such a thing!”Before anyone could say anything else, I noticed how quickly Calixto walked towards Gunther's father and snatched the gun from the devil’s hand.Then he kicked Gunther's father in the
~Agathe~I scoffed when Gunther ignored my question as if I was not there. He didn't even flinch, and kept doing whatever the hell he was doing.The nerve of this guy. Am I a joke to him?He bent down a little to sign some documents on the coffee table, holding a pen in his hand. When he was finished, he stood up and casually slipped his hands into his pockets.Afterward, I saw Atty. Schneider gathered the papers and carefully placed them inside his attaché case. Then, he stood up as well and casually shook Gunther's hand as if I had not just threatened his client.“Congratulations, Gunther. You are now the rightful owner to all of Madame Hester's three hundred fifty billion dollars worth of wealth, assets and properties.”Atty. Schneider was smiling from ear to ear. He seemed genuinely happy for Gunther.“Thank you very much for all of your help, Attorney Schneider. I owe it all to you. Without your assistance, I would be unable to claim what is rightfully mine.” Gunther said in his
~Agathe~[Present Time]I could hear faint voices talking around me. I looked around the darkness that surrounded me but saw no one.I felt like I was floating, but my feet remained on the ground. I felt hopeless.I want to go back to my mother because she still needs me. My father just died, and I am the only one she has left.“Her finger moved, Doctor Wright!” I heard someone say something beside me, but when I looked to my side, I saw no one.“Hello? Who are you? Where exactly am I? Where is my mother?" I asked in a loud voice, without even opening my mouth.“She's regaining consciousness. Quickly, call Gunther.”“But, Doctor. He is downstairs, discussing something important with his family. What are we supposed to do?”“Check her pulse. Check everything.” Before I could respond, I felt something powerful catapult me through the air.“Arghhhhhhhhh!”Before I knew it, I opened my eyes again to see a bright light aimed directly at my eyes. “She is awake! The patient is awake, doctor!
