Chapter 25

            I didn’t sleep that night. Not that I should have come as any surprise to me. I lay awake in my bed, reliving the past. I oath to move on, and yet here I am.

            I remember when we first met, Alejandro and his pink handcuff when he easily defeated the culprit, and we indeed up laughing together when we found out that we were actually lost in that dark alley. And how he’d swept my feet off into a passionate and all-consuming relationship.

            From the first day he asked me out, we hadn’t spent a single day apart for several weeks. By the end of the first month of our whirlwind courtship, I finally said yes. And that moment, I experienced how sweet my first ‘I love you is. I had never been quite sure why he’s chosen me. It wasn’t as if I was infe

    I was laying in my bed, feeling numbed by the painful memories. And now, here in this house. I thought I could forget the past, but I was wrong. How could I forget and put it all behind if my past is haunting me? Now that Alejandro was acting strange, what does he want? Move forward and pick up where we had left? Do I also have to forget that people I trust had horribly betrayed me? When I heard a soft knock on the door and I heard Alejandro’s voice calling me, I roused myself from the weight of my thoughts, and cursed when It was already morning and I didn’t get a proper sleep, all that I did was better than catnap. I struggled to get out of the bed and hauled my robe around my body, then staggered to the door and open it. When I open

    Chapter 27 Alejandro’s It was already afternoon, and I am worried sick when Cameron didn’t answer my calls I can’t even reach her. I let myself into the house and searched every corner of the living room and looked around for Cameron. “Cameron?” I called on her name. But no one is answering. I even checked on her room. Luckily it was open, and I hoped that she’s just taking her nap. But the room was empty and messy. My heart beats raced. What if something happened to her? The phone that I give her was on the top of the side table, still on the box. I rushed outside. When I saw the beach, I know her. She will break everything that I said once she was on the be

    Chapter 28 “Hey, I was looking for you, and Damian didn’t even tell me where to find you, and he just said that you are busy,” Emma said as she approached our table. She’s wearing a white summer dress and a big Buri hat. She looks elegant as usual she walks as if she owns the place. “Yeah, I need to attend to some business matters. How about you? What are you doing in here?” I casually ask. I stood up and greet her. I brushed a polite kiss over her cheek when Emma presented it to me and I tried to remove my hand from her grip when she grabbed onto it. “Well. I’m here for vacation and to attend to some business. I just brought a villa in this area. I’m so in love with the place you want to check?” and Emma’s laughter tinkled out like a fine china d

    Cameron's Once I get inside my room, I bolted the door behind me and sat on the edge of the bed, and outside I can hear a harsh loud knocking and Alejandro’s voice through the door. I was too angry to give a damn that he’d own the house; I don’t give a damn if he will destroy my bedroom door. Everything was fine, really fine, even though I don’t know what to call it. And now, whatever it was, I wanted out It was already enough that Alejandro had humiliated me with our past that was hanging on the edges and now that brainless airhead woman is piling on as well? Damn! Fuck them all! They could go all to hell. I drastically looked at my door when it flew open, revealing a livid Alejandro. Yeah, well, he wasn’t the only one, and I wasn’t backing down. I got on my feet and faced him head-on. “What the hell is wrong with you, Cameron? This is extremely not like you. What do you think you could accomplish by avoiding me? Ignori

    "I'm sorry," his voice was thick with regret and it was full of emotions while his hands were gently caressing my hair. "You have to know that Emma is one of my business partners and she's the one only who agreed on my uncle's crazy idea and their sole reason was to cause trouble between us." I went still after I heard what he said. I know his uncle. And he doesn't like me anyway no more questions to ask. But I want to break free of this conversation, and we who keep on pulling some punches. Words are the deadliest weapon a human had invented. "Are you ready to admit that your uncle hates me and would do anything to get rid of me? If you didn't talk to Emma about us, then who the hell did you think did?" "I know," he whispered, "and I'll be honest with you. Emma was the one who gave your pictures with my brother. Back then, it clouded my mind with anger. Who wouldn't the woman you love betrayed you? It was beyond painful, Cameron. And after I put you

    The admission was blunt, so plain and painfully laid out. Almost as if he wasn’t happy with the truth of the words, but said them all the same. And he stared at me. His discomfort radiates and I can see it in his eyes. I started back, baffled and unable to form a single word to his declaration. Cause’ I need to think it through and weigh everything. He didn’t love me. He didn’t trust me. He easily believed the absolute worse about me. And he is willing and easy to accept that my child is his just like that, but in his mind, I slept with someone. But... he wanted to marry me. I can’t help to laugh. It was a hysterical, shrill, unpleasant sound. Alejandro’s eyes narrowed. “That wasn’t exactly the response that I was expecting for.” My eyes widened. “What? Was that a proposal?” I can’t help to swallow the laughter cause this time he was wearing an extremely dark, agitated look. He gripped th

    “Will you sleep with me tonight, Cameron?” My eyes widened, and my heart was about to explode. What is happening to him? “Fuck!” Alejandro cursed. “That came out completely wrong. What I mean is. Actually, sleep, sleep. Just sleeping together in a same bed. I’d like to hold you again. Nothing more, nothing less. Just allow me to hold you again.” The idea of lying in his arms, that I can snuggle into his body and tangling my legs with his… It was so interesting that I suddenly wanted it more than my next breath. I took a deep breath and nodded. Just sleeping no monkey business. He reached over, took my hand and he simply hold it, our fingers entwined tightly. And he leaned back and positioned himself up on his elbow at an angle and then pulled me so I could rest against his chest. We remained that way until some workers came out to light the torches along the beach as dusk deepened and the stars began to pop in the sky.

    That didn’t sound like the Alejandro I knew. He was the kind of man who always planned everything to the nth degree. He had schedules, lists, planners, calendars. Alejandro not only worried about tomorrow, but the next year as well. Alejandro led me into his bedroom and motioned me to get into his bed. He hung back, maybe out of deference to me, with obvious unease. I took a deep breath, and I crawled beneath the covers and turned so I’d face away from him when he got in. The bed dipped behind me, and I felt his warmth as soon as he slid beneath the covers. Alejandro moved about for a few seconds and then the next thing I knew, I can feel his breath against my back. Alejandro wrapped one arm over

    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!

    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.

    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
