Chapter 10- Cameron
With a heavy breath and sweat drips on my forehead, I can barely move because of my belly. But I still manage to push the big box filled with two expensive lamp shades. I felt like I was possessed by something. Knowing that I don’t have enough money annoyed me. But, when I came home, and all the expensive furniture welcomed me, an idea came into my mind. Since Alejandro decided for my life, he fired me on my job, renovated my house as if he owned it, glad that the landlord did not say a thing. Oh, I almost forgot Alejandro also buy this whole building.
“It is payback time,” I said out loud, and the next thing I would do is, moved all the appliances that I could put in the auction. Since they are still brand new, I could put an original price on them, or maybe a twenty percent discount.
Chapter 11 Alejandro stared at me incredulously. “Do you honestly expect me just to walk away now?” And then he shoved the checked back into his pocket, and his lips are thin as if he was controlling himself to lash at me after all that I have said and done at him. “We have a hell of a lot to work out, sweetie. I am not going anywhere, and neither are you. So the first thing we’re going to do is go to the doctor so you can get a proper checkup. You don’t look well. I can’t be any blunter than that. Try me.” I slowly stood up and stared at his golden eyes. “I am not going anywhere with you. If you do not give me the check, then get out. We have nothing more to discuss. Ever.” “Alejandro fingered the paper i
Chapter 12 “I never thought I could witness like this,” Alejandro murmured his eyes is still on the monitor. “Would you like to find out what you are having?” Doc. Tristan Offered. “We can take a look.” “No… no, I don’t think so,” I said. “I want it to be a surprise.” “Sure thing,” The doctor took a few more minutes and then stood up, wiping my belly clean. And he handed me a picture that he printed out of the baby’s profile and returned to his clipboard.&
Chapter 13 When we arrived at my apartment, I got out of the car before Alejandro could come around and ushered me, I hurried up the stairs. I could hear him behind me catching up. So I double my steps and hurriedly get inside my apartment, and when I tried to shut the door Alejandro put up his hand and pushed his way inside. “We have to talk, Cameron.” He demanded. Both of his hands are in his side. I whirled around. “Yes, we do. You said we had to talk about the check. You were certainly willing to throw it at me when you called me whore. Where is it?” I said gesturing my right hand in front of me. “I want it now and I don’t give a damn what you think about me. I am taking it.” 
Alejandro'sEven after our heated argument, I can’t stop myself from smiling. I look at the ultrasound picture that I keep on holding and looking at it. It is just sad that it is not my baby.I heaved a deep sigh. If it is mine, I will be the luckiest man in the world, and I never witness this magical moment of what we call life before. And if I know that the doctor will do this, I should do the 3D picture, and I heard that you could see the baby clearly by using the advanced sonogram machine. And it is not cheating. We are just excited.“Your excellency, we are here,” Damian called my attention.“Where are we?” I asked without looking at him, my attention still on the picture. The doctor said that Cameron would be in danger and also the baby. My protectiveness took over on me. I am more eager to bring her back to Spain. She needs the best doctor in the world.“I believe we are at the Mezzu Restaura
Cameron’s I feel calm, daisies surround me, and wildflowers, I am happy, and everything is in a perfect place, warm breeze of fresh air fill in my lungs. The solitude that mother nature gives me is what I need right now. Then suddenly, it was all gone, the beautiful flowers, the trees, and I felt someone is tapping my shoulder and calling my name. Slowly I opened my eyes, and I am back with my reality, wherein suffering is present, and so is my sickness. And the main source of my misery is staring back. Alejandro wakes me up from my beautiful dream and holds a glass of water in his right hand. “What are you doing?” I ask, a bit annoyed. “You need to
Chapter 16- Cameron “Maybe, this is your destiny. I am glad you did the right thing, Cammy.” Lena’s voice kept on repeating inside my head. Maybe she is right. But there’s a big chance that she’s not, and everything is leading to much more immense suffering waiting for me in Spain. I do hope that I made the right choice this time. And I need to guard my heart, knowing that Alejandro still holds a big part of it. I can't take another heartbreak again, and this time it is much painful than before. I looked at the window. Softly I take in a deep breath. The evening came with the sunset setting, and far corner of thick clouds darkness invade them I could be a poet right now. Sunset is my perfect subject. It mirrored my life in general, and to some people, they say that sunset is also proof that no matt
Chapter 17- Alejandro “So, my little bird whispered that your brother is in the Philippines right now and looking for Cameron,” Matias stated with an evil smile playing on his lips. “I am quite interested. What if he knows that Cameron is pregnant? This will be a quiet scene, two brothers fighting for one woman, and now the baby was in the picture. It fueled everything. What do you think, Alejandro?” I drop the papers that I am reading and instantly looked at the man casually sitting in front of me. “I wonder how did you manage to get that information, Matias,” I asked conversationally, trying to hide my irritation when he said my brother’s name. Matias loved to play tricks and manipulate you with his words. He is a total hard-ass, but he was also a loyal hard-ass 
Alejandro I woke up when I felt that someone is shaking my bed. Oh, not just my bed I guess the whole world is shaking. Is there an earthquake? Ahh… I remember. I was inside the plane, I look at my watch and sigh, one more hour and we will be in Spain, in no time. I struggle to get up, as far as I remember I was sitting on my chair but now I am lying on a reclined chair covered on a pillow and blanket. And the reason I can’t move properly is that someone is hugging me tightly. I looked up and stared at the fascinating creature sleeping peacefully beside me. He had a perfect lashes that give justice to his golden eyes, a thick eyebrow that looks perfect on his round shape face, pinkish lips that one look you will know that he is not
I squashed the flash of sympathy I felt for him. It might explain why, but it did not begin to excuse the way he had used me. “It is in the cards, though uncertain as yet. You sound surprise to me?” “I am.” Not as surprised as I had been when I had learned that the couple who had seemed a perfect match on every level were breaking up. Until the moment that the divorce had been announced, I had expected a dramatic reconciliation, but the Sancho divorce, like the break-up. Had been low key and bizarrely amicable based on what they called a mutual decision. But had that mutual, civilized, still-good-friend
Preston’s I am not following this instinct that had taken an enormous chunk of my willpower, but the effort had faded into irrelevance beside the will power I had needed to tap into just to stop myself from taking Beatrice in my arms to comfort her. Just the sight of her standing there, white-faced and shaking, looking so vulnerable and fragile, had awoken every protective instinct I had and some new ones. While she had struggled not to cry, I had struggled to keep my distance. I hadn’t allowed myself to even touch her. I just couldn’t. if I had known it wouldn’t have stopped at comforting her. I
My brows lifted. “What are you talking about now? Cheated…?” I asked irritably. “You are not making any sense.” Her face scrunched in an effort to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over. She lifted her chin and blinked hard. “Well, so sorry,” she drawled, “if I’ve lost my edge of clinical objectively, but I’ve never been in this situation before.” “And you think I have?” “Yes, I get it. You don’t need to spell it out.” She had been slow, but the penny had finally dropped. She knew why I was acting this way. “You th
“Was I drunk?” My simmering hostility in my manner as much as abrupt question made Beatrice blink numerous times. “What?” My eyes flashed. “Was I forcing myself on you? Por Dios, no, I was not!” “But, I never—” “So, at what point did I become a bad guy?” I demanded, cutting across her. “I never—” “The fact is, you were lucky enough that I was there, but you are too stubborn to admit it! You ar
But having it spelled out to me by Brian was a different matter. “I will never tie my hair back again,” I declared, striving for ironic mockery and delivering instead something a lot closer to frenzied panic, possibly because of the husky addition of, “because I live to please you,” and that statement was uncomfortably close to the truth. “Are you going to tell me now what I’ve done to upset you?” The quiet words sent a fresh flash of anger through me. “Let me think…” I said, adopting a mystified expression as I pressed a finger to the suggestion of a cleft in my firm, rounded chin. “Could it be something to do with the fact I don’t much like being used? How do you think would I feel having my br
Preston’s I had just filled the second champagne flute and was preparing to carry them into the bathroom with me when I heard the door open. I turned, glasses in hand, as Beatrice walked into the room, phone pressed to her ear. I noticed that she was not smiling. A man did not have to be particularly intuitive to see that Beatrice was not happy. I wondered what had occurred in the few minutes that we had been apart to account for her change of mood, but only in passing—my attention was focused on admiring how sinfully sexy she looked in a pink bra and a minuscule pair of matching silk sorts trimmed with lace. My throat was dry, my body hardened in lustful appreciation. I watched her advance. Each angry step makes her breast jiggle gently u
If this is just a dream, I am going to stay dreaming. “I am quite hungry,” I admitted. A sweet smile plastered on my face. “I love watching you eat,” he said when I was allowing myself to be tempted by another piece of cheese. “You do it with such…relish.” “You mean I am greedy.” “So am I every time I look at you.” “I feel so guilty.” I saw the flash of annoyance cross his face and added quickly, “Not about the food or the sex, but it’s a weekday and I haven’t done a scrap of work. It&r
My brows lifted. “What are you talking about now? Cheated…?” I asked irritably. “You are not making any sense.” Her face scrunched in an effort to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over.

His stare make me shiver and then I cried out loud when without a warning he pressed his face against my breast, my back arched as his tongue began to whip slowly across the peaks of my breasts, that still painfully sensitive from our recent intense lovemaking. When he loosed my hands to cup one quivering peak I tangled my fingers in his dark hair, pushing through the ebony strands still damp from our recent exertions to cradle his skull and hold him against me. My hands stayed in his hair when he lifted his head and grinned down at me. "Also there is no point trying to hide from me in a bed this small." The bed was vast but I let it pass. "I wasn't trying to hide," I protested. He arched an ironic brow, making my eyes slide guilty from his. "I was cold." "Cold?" Preston laid his hand possessively on the soft feminine curve
