Flashback...

I walk into the bar filled with colorful smokes, people chattering, loud music that dominates the atmosphere and oh! It's Cheap thrills by Sia that is being played in the background. I looked around and saw a woman crying in the corner, a group of men and women laughing, heavy drinkers and guys among my age. I giggled as I rest my hands on the cold counter table of this bar. I planned to have a drink of two or more and as the night goes on, I'll be more comfortable and intoxicated. I'll let the noise of this place wash the pain away!

Why am I even here? Well, I'm giving myself a chance to cry, a good cry to forget Blake's betrayal. My damn ex boyfriend who betrayed me. How dare he cheat on me! Is it because I can’t give him his needs as a man? He had sex with another girl and he actually sent the video to me? What did he think? That he is the only man in the world? How narrow-minded. I drank the last glass of tequila and asked for another.

It's time for me to move on, he's not a loss and at least now I know what to do next. A few minutes later, I took a few more glasses of tequila and took a sip, feeling the alcohol in my throat. If only alcohol can heal the wound in my heart, I might drown myself in it.

Although I’m starting to feel dizzy, I still tried to stand up. Why did the waiter became two? Was it just one before? And besides, why does it look like its nose has widened and it seems like a board hit its wide forehead? Ah maybe I'm just drunk.

I was walking towards the rest room when something suddenly hit my weak body hard. In my annoyance, I cursed him and just passed the young man. When I got to CR, I immediately washed and looked at myself. This is the last time I will cry because of that idiot!

After I fixed myself, I went back to my place. Maybe I'll just book a cab to get home. Hey, why do I have to go through this?

"Hey, want to dance?" I was startled when suddenly someone whispered in my ear. The heat of his fragrant breath was terrifying, its smell mixed with wine and mint. I bit my lower lips, I looked at him, even though my vision was doubled, I couldn't deny that he was handsome, and maybe it was the effect of the alcohol that made me startle. But I'm okay, I am Lily Clarks and from now on I will be happy.

"Sure," and let me towards the crowd and placed my hand on his hard chest there.

"You cried? Let me guess. Broken hearted?" I turned and looked away. He grabbed my waist causing my heart to beat faster. "I can hear your heart," the man grinned and laughed softly. He placed his finger on my chin and raised it, "Look at me.”

My heart is now pounding very fast and I can almost hear it. "Your dress suits your shape," he said and he winked.

"Likewise," I answered.

We're in the middle of our dance when suddenly the music changes. It became erotic and it felt so right. His arms tightened around my waist as our body moved in rhythm. He pulled me closer to him and it was automatic that I wrapped my arms around his nape. His touch is electrifying that sends shivers down my spine. I am desperate to kiss his red sexy lips.

I don't know that I've been staring at his face for a few minutes, those chocolate eyes with fluttering eyelashes, aristocratic nose, thick eyebrows, and oh those perfect jaw line and chiseled chin. I am drooling he is the chiseled features of a male model.

"Stop examining my face," he chuckled. I was embarrassed to smile at him. I have to play it cool. He shouldn't know that I'm ashamed of what I did. "You look so fucking hot," his voice was hoarse. I could feel his hands trailed down my legs up to my seat he slapped it with gentle and smoothed it.

I moaned subtly against the back of his neck. He adjusted my height bringing my face close to his. That's how much I was shocked by what he did next.

Oh my hell! His lips crashed against mine!

Dang! It's hot!

He's now spanking my buttocks in a way that doesn't hurt, he lingers on me, it got me so high and I can't fuckin' breath. I don't how but we ended up in the dark part of the bar. By doing those stuff I suddenly felt a strange sensation that I had never felt before.

My hands start traveling slowly inside his shirt.

Oh my goodness! His abs are all hard!

I was startled to feel his hot breath near my ear, he licked my earlobes and kissed my neck, sucking it.

I close my eyes at the sensation he makes me feel. Damn he is a good kisser, he started unbuttoning my dress, his hands traveling in every part of my body whispering words that make me anticipate for more.

"Not here babe," then he smirked.

The next thing I knew, I was in a room with the stranger, having a passionate night with him. When I woke up the next morning, I found myself beside the man I met in the bar. I hurriedly got my clothes scattered on the floor without making a single noise to avoid the man from waking up. I'm too embarrassed for what I've done and the only thing I wanted was to run away and forget everything that transpired between us that night. It was a mistake I'd rather bury in my memories.

But seems like fate is so cruel to me and now I have to face the consequence of the disaster I brought upon myself.

    Dad welcomed me with a slap when I went home. “Lawrence!” Tessa, my father’s new wife, held his arm. “This unfilial child! Did you really think I won’t discover that you ditched Peyton on your blind date? The man is one of the few out there that can give you a decent life! He’s an achiever back in college, had finished his MBA, and is the director of their company! He’s got everything you need! You are to graduate soon and you have to secure a credible husband!" Dad massaged the bridge of his nose. His yells echoed in the whole house loudly. It wasn’t new though. This scene tends to happen often. I just don’t understand why he keeps on controlling my life like what he did to my mom. I guess it was the reason why Mom never got the happiness she deserved when they were together. Dad is a big control freak. “If you don’t want me to keep on ditching those blind dates, then maybe you should stop pairing me with guys I’m not interested in,” I said before walking to the stairs. He conti

    I cried the whole night until I was out of tears. Dad put a lot of security all over the mansion and my every move was monitored. There was even a CCTV installed in my room which forced to me go to the bathroom every time I need to change. I felt suffocated. The house that was once my comfort zone felt like a cage to me now. I hoped Dad was just threatening me when he said my wedding with Peyton would happen in a week, but when the wedding organizer came the next day, I figured he wasn’t kidding. He is really marrying me off to a man I haven’t even spent a whole day with. “I know you don’t want to marry me, but I know your situation, Lily. Once your baby bump starts to be visible, people will talk. It will ruin your father’s reputation and will affect the business. My family owes your father so I can’t say no to him,” Peyton said when he joined us during dinner so we can talk about our wedding. I was silent the whole time so he followed me to my room so we can talk privately. “Do y

    Dad suddenly stood from his seat and his eyes widened at the man as if he recognized him. The guests chattered, surprised that someone suddenly came to break off the wedding.“Isn’t that Edmund Moriarty?” Peyton asked. “Do you know him, Lily?”“Edmund… Moriarty? Who is that?”The name didn’t sound familiar, but if Peyton knows him, he must also be a big name in the business industry. But what the hell is he doing here? My life is already chaotic enough!The chattering became louder when the man named Edmund walked to the aisle without bothering to look at anyone on the sideline. He graced the aisle with his black three-piece suit, hair slicked back, and his sleek shoes shining against the floor.His fluid moves were marked with confidence and exuded pride and power.Just with how he carried himself and how he barged into a wedding like he was walking around the park, I immediately knew he is not just a nobody. He’s a man who got power.But the question is… how did he know my name? Why

    “Let’s talk privately,” I said. My knees are still wobbly and my nape is covered with cold sweat. I’m still nervous but I had to make things clear to this man. However, I can’t speak freely with many ears listening to us. “Follow me,” he said and walked out of the church. I followed him while holding the sides of my long wedding dress to prevent myself from falling. I heard Dad call me but I didn’t listen. Outside the church, a sleek black car awaited. The bulky man with glasses I remembered to be his driver opened the backseat door. “Where are you taking my daughter, Mr. Moriarty?” I heard Dad’s voice from behind but instead of turning around, I went inside the car. I know I might be dealing with someone dangerous, but when a door opens for you after being locked for a long time, it’s hard to just stay in your position. I’m not sure if the marriage this man is offering is a bluff or not, I don’t want to marry him either, but at the moment I just want to get away. “I assure you

    Edmund said he will give me one day to think. He owned the hotel and he offered me a room for a night if I don’t want to go home. I decided to stay in his hotel for the night because I know Dad will just nag me. I also can’t go stay in Nina’s place because her parents are business associates of my dad and for sure they will refuse.“Just use the intercom if there is anything you need, Miss Clarks,” said the hotel staff who led me to a deluxe suite.She also left me some clothes and I’m sure the order came from Edmund.I hurriedly took off my heavy wedding dress and changed into the clothes given to me before jumping to the queen-sized bed.Because of tiredness, it didn’t take long for me to doze off.However, it was one of those nights when I’m haunted by my nightmares about my mom.

I just laughed at Edmund when he said we were getting married today because I thought he was joking but here it is and it's true. But then, he’s filthy rich and almost everything is possible with money.Wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, my hair was braided in a classy updo.I smiled in front of the mirror after the make-up artist and hair stylist did a good job.Finally, I don't have to act like other people."Are you done?"I flinched when I felt Edmund’s lips on my neck.I had a lot of things going in my mind so I didn’t notice him entering the dressing room.I could feel his chest against my back and his lips playing on the sensitive part of my neck."Hmm... you smell good. Are you ready?"I nodded in surprise after he planted an fleeting kiss on my lips.What?"Come on then."I still felt like I was floating as we walked down the stairs of the hotel’s

    The VIP room where Edmund's friends were erupted upon our arrival. There were five of them at the table and the others were familiar to me. And on the table, there was an abundance of dishes and drinks."It's good that you thought to invite us to the celebration even though you didn’t invite us in your wedding!""Oh, the wedding must be done out of haste! With the beauty of the bride, Edmund must be excited for the honeymoon!” said the other man.Laughter erupted as Edmund gave the middle finger to the two men who had taunted him."I just chose not to invite you because it’s a civil wedding. Besides, you might ruin my marriage.”The boys laughed and the girls giggled.Edmund pulled me a chair which got the people in the table surprised. I see they don’t usually see him being chivalrous."Oh you've become a gentleman? Ah, must be Cupid’s work."I smiled lightly.Cupid? Now that sounds ridiculous."Shut up there Kendrick!" he turned to the others. "This is Lily.”I waited for him to int

    I have tossed and turned several times in bed but I still don't feel sleepy. It's almost eight o'clock at night but my eyes are still wide awake.Where is Edmund?I looked at the new cellphone he gave me earlier after we had lunch and only then thought of fiddling with it.I changed the default wallpaper to a photo of my foot. When I was satisfied, I then went to the contacts and only two numbers were there; Edmund’ss name and Roy's with a caps lock warning, only talk to them in case of emergency.It's really crazy, Roy has his tail up to dinner, does it look like I'm going to have a text mate?Me:What time will you go home?I didn't get an answer from him so instead of having a bad trip I just dressed in a two piece and covered it with a thick bathrobe.The two bodyguards on the sofa stood up and both looked at my appearance, wondering."Just stay here inside, it's obvious that there's a pool, I'm just going to swim to make me sleepy."They exchanged glances, apparently understandin

    Edmund’s POV Love is an endless battle between choices and their consequences. Just one wrong move and you will lose everything. One misunderstanding and it's over. I stared at my phone's screen. I used to be too lazy to touch it, now I'm just grinning like an idiot because of its beautiful wallpaper. My wife and daughter. Right. This is what you call heaven. "So what do you think of our proposal Mr. Moriarty?” I was startled when the person in front of me suddenly spoke. I sat up straight because she was staring at me, noticing that I wasn’t listening. I sipped my wine. A bit unethical but I had no choice but to join her here at a French restaurant inside the hotel. I canceled our meeting last time because I was working from home and if I were to work, I would be too busy to insert the conversation with Mocha into the schedule. Her family's hotel is one of the biggest and we can't deny the fact that they make millions annually but they are not doing well these days. I only s

    When I got up the next day, I was shocked. For a brief moment I wished that everything last night was just a dream, a nightmare perhaps. But I know it wasn’t. It was all real. The door opened suddenly and I was still blinking when I entered there as the people inside my mind followed one another. Kendria's hair is done, it looks like Edmund has taken a bath as well, wearing a white v-neck shirt. It was close to the chest and stomach so that every movement made his muscles scream. I immediately looked away when our eyes met. "Mimi! Breakfast in bed!" Kendi kindly stated. The little girl climbed onto the bed and was still jumping on it. "Don’t jump sweetie, the food will spill." I was still shocked when I heard Edmund’s voice. It was a sweet yet authoritative thing that made Kendria obey. She stopped jumping and sat on the bed facing me with a smile. "What is that?" I pointed to the bed tray that Edmund was carrying. And he wasn't alone, behind him was Edna with more food. "G

    In my head I imagined this a couple of times, we are in a fancy restaurant wearing formal clothes then I'll introduce Edmund to our daughter. Not like this, it's the middle of the night, it's storming outside and Edmund's mood is worse than the weather. Deep inside me I know that even though I'm not ready, it had occurred to me before to introduce the father and daughter to each other that's why I was led by fear. I don't want another rejection. I am afraid not only of the possible pain I will feel but also of the effect it will have on Kendria. Maybe I was selfish. Maybe I was a coward. Maybe I overreacted. But God knows I only want the best for Kendi. Because what if Edmund doesn't want to? What if he doesn't accept it? What if he doubts? Up until now he lives like a bachelor, jumping from one woman to another, is he ready to be a father? "Dada... sleepy..." Ken said in a small voice and yawned. A small smile crept on Edmund’s face. Still carrying Kendria, he stood up not even

    I looked at him then took another step towards the door but before I could open it, Edmund was already there. "I can open it, I'm not disabled," I promised flatly. I heard him chuckle but he didn't say a thing. I went inside and folded the umbrella before facing him. "Go home Edmund, I'm not joking even if it's stormy I'll drag you to security- what are you smiling about? You find this funny?" He smiled and shook his head. "Even if your nose is smoking from irritation, you're still beautiful." My heart skipped a beat then it went back, thrice than it's normal bear. "Thank you for the concern but don't be too concerned with me, I am strong but you are fragile." "Stop me with your brats! I said without being concerned- wait you're shivering! I told you to go home!" "But I'm cold and I might get cold because I've been soaked in the rain for a while," he said. Because the light inside the house was on, I could clearly see him screaming suddenly at the sudden blowing of a strong

    I rolled my eyes for the nth time. I've been in and out of the office a few times because I can't get home. Edmund is watching me like a crazy stalker.I'm already irritated because I can't go home, he will surely follow. Kendria is always waiting in the doorway, surely one look will tell her.And I won't let that happen. Over my drop dead gorgeous, sexy, awesome, brilliant, and all the good praises bodyI was thrown back in my swivel chair when I heard three consecutive knocks from the closed door."It's open! Push the door," I answered loudly.Next, Dallia's strange face appeared there. I can see that he has changed his clothes because he is no longer wearing the baby pink staff uniform."Miss? We've closed the cafe, are you going to stay?" he asked.Oh shit! Did I sleep?"N-No Dallia, are you still cleaning the kitchen?" I asked confused."Rara is also finishing."I nodded while gathering my things.I put back on the blazer I was wearing when I came in, covering the sweetheart neck

    Is it possible for a person to forget in just a short period of time? I think it depends on the situation because right now the only thing I want is to get away from him."Thank you," I said in a flat tone before snatching the napkin pack out of his hand.I walked away pushing the grocery cart like nothing happened."What? That's it?" he asked while still following me.I rolled my eyes and pretended like I heard nothing.My eyes widened when I saw my daughter Ken, happily hopping in the grocery's entrance. Behind him is Erna carrying a big teddy bear."Lily-""You know what? I changed my mind..." I nervously glanced at his back trying to find some escape. "Just help me, I forgot something at the end. Can you take it? My foot hurts.""Where?" he asked eagerly."Uhm... In the detergent powder section, you can choose any brand as long as it's maroon in color, the dark one right? It's at the end," I flashed a smile.His eyes widened like he's shocked.I simply looked for Kendria again, go

    "Great!" Inna clapped in glee, "Come with me, Harry and Vince are here, they miss you!" I didn't do anything when she pulled me out of the bathroom. I treated them like my real friends after all. It's a bit sad that my brother disappeared from their group. Maybe because of me or because of many other things that he and Edmund couldn't agree on. Whatever it is, a few years of friendship is also disappointing. Kendrick doesn't talk about that anymore and we are very careful with Kendria. If she heard it from her uncle, for sure she'll go nuts and I don't want that. The jaws of the two men we met at the table dropped. Harry immediately asked if he was dreaming while Vince stared at me like a weirdo. I found out that Gem was also here earlier but went home with her twins and Vince because the children were sleepy. "Calm down, guys, it's just me," I said jokingly and removed a few strands of my hair that had escaped from the updo bun. "Well... it's Lily!" Vince finally exclaimed. I

    I did endless shopping before leaving Kendria with Erna. My daughter is not used to sleeping alone so I asked Erna to sit next to him first or maybe watch over him until he falls asleep. I said goodbye to Kendi but I know her tantrums are different when she wakes up and can't catch me. I still don't know what time I will go home exactly because the party starts almost at midnight, at nine o'clock. Actually, I'm late because it's nine thirty, but Kendrick said the only important thing is that I show up there, I don't need to be late. "I'll take care of it Ma'am," said Erna. I glanced at Kendria who was sleeping peacefully in her bed and then patted Erna to say goodbye. "Just lock the door when I go out, okay? I have a duplicate key so I'll take care of it when I get home later. Ken's milk is on the bed side table and if there's a problem, call me-" "Ma'am calm down, you'll only be gone for a few hours. It probably won't take you a decade at the party," Erna cut me off. I sighed a

  • Carrying the Don's Baby   Chapter 64: Never Again

    "Let's talk later sweetie, alright?" I kissed her cheek and stood up. "Erna, stay inside for now, I'll just go to the home owners. Don’t let Kendria go out or I’ll kill you.”As soon as the two entered the house, I left. Our house is only walking distance from the office that Erna was talking about, so I just walked. I also have no choice because I don't have a car.The fat woman near the door greeted me politely, the opposite of what I found inside.Heads turned to me almost at the same time so I went inside with my head held high.There are five people in the room. The woman sitting on the swivel chair, a sophisticated woman and a man next to her. The other two women were standing on the side of the one on the swivel chair."Good afternoon, sorry I'm late because I just came from work..." I said softly and sat to the chair across the couple."No wonder the child is neglected," the sophisticated woman scoffed immediately.I cleared my throat and pretended I heard nothing."Miss Clark
