HE'S SEXYI FEEL like I just want to be eaten up by the earth. I'm surprised Argo heard what Mareng said.I hope he doesn't think I'm fantasizing about him 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I bit my lower lip tightly and ignored my worry.I changed my clothes and headed downstairs to the dining room. I ran into Argo, who was already seated in one of the chairs. He was nibbling on the food that Mareng prepared earlier while staring at his laptopI sat quietly in front of him, scooping up Mareng's lasagna. As his laptop monitor focused on him, I couldn't help but stare at him while wearing reading glasses."Are you finished checking on me?"I blinked as he opened his lips without taking his gaze away from the monitor. I diverted my gaze after clearing my throat."You're quite attractive..." I muttered something.When I looked at him, I noticed the edge of his lip slightly rose although his concentration was still on the monitor, so I knew he heard what I said."How does food taste?" I
I DID NOT WASTE ANY MOMENT. I hastily gathered my belongings. I only put on a few items and a stunning clothes so that my looks can fight at any time.If we're in his condo, I suppose I can make my plans. It's because Argo and I are the only ones living there, so if I continue to fascinate him, it won't be a problem.I rushed down the stairwell. I almost beat it out of fear of Argo missing me."Natalia?"I approached the elderly Greensmith. In the living room, Argo was conversing with them."Are you going to take Natalia to your pad?" Her mother's tone was worried.I approached gently towards Argo's back, sneaking a glance at them while they talked.I strolled cautiously around Argo's back, sneaking a glance at them while they talked."She's safer there because she only has a tiny space at my pad. I saw her dive in the pool earlier. What if I'm not there to rescue her?" Argo's voice was solemn, as if he were preaching to his parents."As for me, there are maids here who are eager to w
I WAS SIMPLY quiet on the drive home to his condo. I still can't get over what I discovered about them.If their marriage lasts, perhaps I can flee? Maybe I'll just hunt for an adoptable child to give him.But my mind was questioning whether that was the best decision. Another possibility is that he would inquire about the millions of pesos he handed me. I must have ended up in jail after giving birth. That must be Argo's goal, as he refuses to let me leave.While driving quietly, I cast a glimpse at him. His brows were always drawn together, as if he had no intention of raising them.Nonetheless, he was seductively gorgeous. I thought I could only see this face in telenovelas, but here he is, right next to me. This is comparable to Burak Ozcivit of Turkey and Richard Gomez of the Philippines. I would have squeezed and caressed him if I could.When he abruptly turned to face me, I blinked. My pulse was pounding so hard as we exchanged glances for a few seconds. I saw his jaw clench a
PartnerI DIDN'T sleep that night. I was thinking about what Argo and I had argued over. If he can't be mine, why doesn't he just let me do what I want? His entire concern here is the child, not me.But every time I think about it, a hurt appears in my heart. Is this just my role in his life? Will I vanish like a bubble when I finish giving him the child, like if he didn't recognize me?After all, who am I to bother him? I entered his life when he was preparing to create a family with Florisse. Maybe I'm forgetting that the bond he and Florisse share isn't a joke to be traded to a con artist like me.So, even if I give Argo a Son, he would undoubtedly find a way to reconnect with Florisse.Wait a minute! Why am I thinking about that? Among the many problems I have, the one I understand is regarding him and Florisse. I'm not even sure how to get pregnant. Argo and I could probably have a dozen children if I could become pregnant every night with my hand.I snorted and twisted and turne
LUNCH"Is Argo Greensmith of GS Hotel the owner of Greensmith University?" When Andra turned to look at me after looking up at Argo again, I nearly turned pale. "My name is Andra Jimenez." It's nice to finally meet you. "Thank you for looking after my friend, Natalia!" He even shook hands with Argo before inviting us to join the other guests.Andra introduced us to some of her guests, the most recent of which was a group of my college classmates."Natalia, are you there? You've changed drastically! You're not as tight as you used to be!" Albert is one of my classmates.I could only respond with a smile and turned to face my classmates. Prince appears to have his good wife next to him."Prince! It's good to see you again!"I didn't approach him because I knew his wife was nearby."How are you?""It's fine, this is my partner. It's Argo Greensmith." I take the risk of introducing myself to them.They smiled as they greeted Argo. When Argo extended his hand for a handshake, my other clas
COLDI returned home with a heaviness in my chest. I couldn't understand why I had to feel this way about Argo. This cannot be done because the plans will be ruined.I can't do what I want to do if I'm constantly crying. I still need to seduce Argo, and we have a child, so that I can get out of this situation.But how can I do that if I haven't begun anything yet? It's as if I'm giving up. Remember, Natalia, you are a con artist, and you have the ability to spin him around in your palm if you so desire. Nobody, no matter who, can bring you down because you were born to be a queen.Even though I doubt he'll return home early, I decided to take a shower and prepare dinner for the two of us. I went to my room and lay down after I finished cooking. I, too, had no appetite and preferred to spend my time on social media.I don't do this very often because I'm not interested in celebrities or politics. But, ever since I met Argo, I've wanted to follow him on social media, particularly Instag
Florrise"You're pale; are you all right?"When we entered the kitchen, Paul couldn't stop talking. I jumped back when he touched my cold hand. I didn't expect hearing from Argo to have such an impact on me."Is it true... F-Florisse will arrive tonight?"Over his shoulder, Paul cast a glance at me. He emptied the plates into the sink."Why can't you and Florisse communicate? I assumed you were fine because Argo and Florisse had already spoken to you."I frowned, puzzled by what he was saying."I mean, I think they agreed to wait until you give birth to the child before proceeding with the marriage," he added.I gripped the sink and bowed slightly. Because of the sharp pain in my heart, I couldn't stop biting my lips.I don't anticipate any new issues aside from Argo's ability to get me pregnant. My plans are going to be a shambles now that Florisse and Argo are getting along again."Natalia, you don't look well. Do you want to take a break?"I nodded reluctantly. He did not hesitate
ConfrontationI locked myself in the bathroom for a few minutes, possibly because my stomach flared up again. I don't want them to think I'm sick for attention if I go back and forth to the bathroom.So I grabbed the bathroom tissue that was on the shelf. I also looked in the medicine kit and luckily found some diatabs. I hid it in my pocket because Argo would be suspicious of my pregnancy if he found out I took medicine while pregnant.I don't want him to suspect me again, like when I drank the wine at the restaurant the last time. Only now did I have the opportunity to research pregnancy taboos. As a result, I'm being extra cautious now.Before leaving the bathroom, I almost rub my palm with soap and spray my entire body with air freshener. I peeked slightly and looked around for Argo, but he wasn't there.My steps were still slow enough that they wouldn't notice me, but when I heard Paul's voice call my name, I closed my eyes tightly.I took a step closer to them, still carrying th
Punishment When my feet came to a halt in front of the closed door, I hesitated. My back stiffened as I stood frozen on my feet. My grip on the glass of milk became even tighter. I took one more deep breath before opening the door. My gaze was drawn to his oak table right away. He was leaning on his swivel chair, the wine he had been carrying in front of him. He looked up, his hard eyes transfixed in an evil stare. I swallowed hard, feeling as if he was flaying me alive while staring at me. "Please take a seat," he said to the single chair in front of his table. I nodded slightly and followed what he said. I took a sip of milk from the glass before setting it on the table. "What are we going to talk about?" I couldn't stop myself from asking. I stared at him blankly, nervousness coursing through my veins. "I'd like to plan our wedding as soon as possible," he said quietly. I was stunned. My breathing became labored as my body froze. I assumed he was joking earlier, but I didn't think
Throbbing heart"Are you insane?"Florisse couldn't stop talking. She also rose from her seat."Take back what you said, son; I didn't raise you to marry a woman with no manners!" His father yells. He even smacked the table, which made a loud noise."Argo, you're kidding, right?" Florisse laughed.But I missed Argo's response. His gaze is fixed on me and what I may say about his confession.But I quickly averted my gaze from him and rose to my feet. I guess I can't take what's going on. I broke Florisse and Argo's relationship the second time.Yes, I'll admit that this is what I really wanted to happen at first: to seduce Argo and make him mine forever. This is also one of my methods for avoiding my problem with the lie I told. But I didn't think I'd gotten to the point where my lie to Argo had peaked.I shook my head and was about to open my mouth to speak when her mother grabbed my wrist and pulled me back."Return to your seat, hija," she said firmly.I can also feel the tightness
DinnerI swallowed my throbbing heart and looked him in the eyes. The emotion in his eyes sang to my heart.This can't be a dream, I thought as I blinked. He really kissed me? I quickly pressed my lips together and drew back."We can swim now," he said as he led me to the water and dove in.I was stunned for a few seconds before being jolted awake by the splash of cold water on my face."That face is so ironic!" he chuckled.I saw his hidden teeth emerge, which appeared elusive in my eyes. My lips then began to form a soft smile. My heart skipped a beat, and warmth poured down my cheeks."Ahh!"I hit the water hard to wet him. I didn't stop until I was close to him. Until he grabbed my hips and yanked me into the deep water.I had to claw my hands over his shoulder because my feet couldn't feel the ground. I had no choice but to hold on to him because it was obvious that he intended to go deeper."What are you doing..." I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes in frustration, but I was s
L'amoureWe boarded a small boat and proceeded to the yacht one by one. I'm still not myself as a result of what I heard earlier. I have no idea why I decided to go island hopping.Argo's mommy is probably waiting for me for lunch. When I get home, I'm going to go straight to the mansion.I walked carefully to the other side, holding on to the railings. I've only ever been on such a lovely yacht. It's only in movies and on the internet that I've seen it.Almost the entire yacht is white, as is customary. It has a large front space as well as a large lounging area inside. I'm sure there are rooms upstairs, the last of which is the control room.I simply chose to stay at the end, overlooking the clear water below. We're also getting further away from the shore and have no idea where to go."Do you like the view?"I cast a glance at Paul, who was standing next to me. He bowed to the railings and turned to face me after putting both arms there."I can't see anything but water, but this pl
BeachWhen I awoke, the sun was nearly still. I rushed out of my room, my eyes bleary."Morning!"I heard Apollo, who was carrying a large watermelon, greet me. I also noticed Aling Mareng, who was busy putting food on the table."Uh, morning..." I stammered."Good to see you up; come on in for breakfast," Manang said.I looked around for Argo and turned quickly to the bathroom where he had come from, wiping his wet hair with a towel. My attention was drawn to her bare chest.As I stared at his gorgeously hot body, my heart rate increased and my cheeks turned red. The water dripping into his body made my knees weak."Hmm, your mouth drools,"When Manang whispered after passing me, I blinked and looked away. I began by clearing my throat and averting my gaze completely. When I met him in the bathroom, I walked and bowed.As I passed him, my nostrils complimented his scented body, I sighed. Before entering the bathroom, I closed my eyes briefly.Sticky crap. After what happened last nig
Nightmare"Enough! Don't hurt my mother!"I sobbed loudly as I clutched the hem of my mother Ruth's dress. Uncle Oscar is drunk again, and he began arguing with Mother."Hey, you kid, don't get involved if you don't want me to replace you with your useless mother!"I looked at him, still clutching the hem of his gown. We had just returned from the bakery when we ran into the drunk uncle.He must have lost the cockfight again, as he became inebriated and irritable. Mother is the one he always hurts, but I am always to blame because of my interference."Do you really want to give up?"Uncle grabbed my arm, so I let go of Mother. I cast a quick glance at him, who was quietly adjusting his unkempt hair and clothes. I know she's exhausted from the day's work, so she doesn't have the energy to argue with uncle and wean us.When Mother turned away from us and entered their room, I bit my lower lip tightly. I don't want to hold a grudge, but I believe I did the right thing for my uncle by let
BungalowWhile staring at him, I inhaled glassy air. I would have gone back to the water to hide if I could.Even though the wind is blowing hard on my skin, I can still feel his warmth inside me.He came to a halt a short distance away from me. His hand is now sliding into his pants pocket as he fixed me with an unwavering stare."Did I tell you not to leave your room? Why are you taking a bath here?" His voice was deep and disgusted."Because the sea is beautiful, fascinating..." I softly smiled at him, trying to calm the rumbling in my stomach."Did I tell you not to leave your room? Why are you taking a bath here?" he asked, his voice deep and disgusted."Because the sea is beautiful, fascinating..." I softly smiled at him, trying to calm the rumbling in my stomach.Even though it was dark, I knew he noticed my smile. He quickly averted his gaze and clenched his jaws several times.I forcefully bite my tongue. I wish I could explain his eyes and how the sound of his voice fills my
Wind BlowsThe nervousness in my heart persisted even as I took a bath. My concerns about what will happen next will not go away. How can I deal with Argo when he can already take me out with the tip of his finger?I bit my lower lip firmly. What if something worse happened earlier? I'll probably go out ten more times just in case.I, too, can't take my eyes off the face. His warm hands are still there, draining my strength. His touch, his body heat, and his deep gaze made my heart race.This night I've been dreading will undoubtedly come. If I had the courage to seduce him at first.and give him my cherished honor, I seem to want to withdraw. Because it appears that I'm still falling into his traps.And I'm not prepared if it turns out I'm not pregnant. What will he have to say? He'd surely get angry and throw me in jail for lying so much, right? Based on what I witnessed them doing earlier at the hut, it is also certain that his marriage with Florisse will take place.I shook my head
FirstHe stooped down and lifted my face, which was already damp from tears and the champagne the woman had earlier poured for me.He immediately grabbed my empty stomach and asked, "Are you alright? Does anything hurt?"I vigorously bit my lip and shook my head. The only thing I'm moving right now is the foot I tripped on earlier."My foot,"Before touching my hurt foot, Argo gave me a long look and a moment of his attention.Hijo, what does this mean? Maybe you've forgotten that wowan ruined your arranged marriage to Florisse.She was so enraged that it was almost hysterical.But instead of responding to the lady, Argo looked up at me again. "Can you still walk?" he inquired.I moved my foot a little, but it hurt. That's when Argo arrived to pick me up. Almost everyone was making a fuss at the sight, so I had no choice but to bow."Are you insane?!" The lady nearly passed out from rage after seeing what Argo had done."You may leave my house at any time!" said Argo solemnly.The lad
