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
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
As I took confident strides into the churchyard, the sound of the priest's sermon enveloped me. Each word seemed to echo through the air, setting the tone for the event unfolding before me. The beating of my heart quickened as I crossed the threshold into the church. I paused, taking in the sight of the gathered crowd, a mix of anticipation and curiosity swirling within me. The grandeur of the church hinted at the meticulous planning and preparation that went into this wedding. The line of luxurious cars parked outside only reaffirmed my suspicion that the bride and groom were of affluent backgrounds. Amidst the buzz of excitement, I couldn't help but notice the presence of the media, capturing every moment of the special occasion. "Tss, good timing," a mischievous smile played on my lips as I savored the thrill of the moment. I smoothed down my flowing hair and adjusted my dress, silently reminding myself of the purpose behind this mission. "You got this, Natalia! This is fo
I was almost in a panic as I typed a message to her, but the man snatched it from me and forcefully threw it out the window. My lips parted in shock. I blinked and spoke. "What the hell?!" I blurted out in surprise. However, no response was directed towards me. His focus remained solely on the road ahead, leading us towards an unfamiliar destination. I allowed my gaze to linger for a moment. Up close, he appeared even more handsome. His chiseled features seemed to exude a striking perfection, and those lips were undeniably captivating. A lump formed in my throat as I observed his jaw move. He then retrieved his cell phone from his pocket and pulled out the Bluetooth headset from the dashboard to make a call. "How's Florisse?" he asked in a calmer tone. "Alright, please take care of her for now. I'll call you later." After ending the call, he drove with a serious demeanor. As we arrived at the precinct, my back instinctively straightened in the car seat, preparing for wh
HE SURPRISE me by taking me to his condo instead of just taking me out."Woah!" As I made my way around the house, my mouth started to water.I bent down to pet a figurine on the table and gave it a gentle kiss."I think this one is a little pricey!" I screamed."What are you doing? Stay away from my things!" I hear him growl at me.He's carrying a phone and appears to be dialing his ex-girlfriend."You're so cruel," I sniffed and sat on the sofa. Despite this, he was still quite attractive. Argo is, to be fair, an extremely attractive man."Who told you to sit there?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me."Fine!" I rose to my feet and began to make my way to the front door of the room."Where are you going to?"I turned to face him and crossed my arms over my chest.I'm going home! What am I even going to do here?!""Who directed you to leave? Remain where you are." He commands, and he turned his back on me.I exhaled deeply and leaned against the door that was closed. What plans does h
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? You gave her money just to fix the problem? How about the baby?""It is not my child. I know in my heart that this child isn't mine," he said it seriously.I eat the chocolate quietly while listening to their conversation."Come on, Argo. That's not a good enough reason!""This woman is a con artist. I'm not that stupid to believe I made her pregnant."My eyebrows raised. How did he possibly know that?"Then how about Florisse and everyone in the church, the media, and your company?!"Argo sighs. It seems like a mess is happening."I only care about, Florisse. How was she?""She's with Barbarra. You know that her dad, Uncle Francis, won't just let what happened at the church."Again, Argo let out a deep breath and shook his head several times."Ah, excuse me?" I showed my hand.They turned their attention to me. Argo looked so pissed and irritated while he was staring hard at me."Where is the restroom?""Damn it!" Argo seems to be filling up easily."Turn to your lef
WHERE ARE WE GOING?" I asked as I combed my hair with my finger.I was disgusted because I wasn't wearing a bra. My cleavage was exposed, and my nipple was scratched on my shirt.When his car came to a stop in front of a shopping mall, I raised my eyebrow."Are you serious? Do you seriously expect me to go there while wearing this?!"He shut off the engine and then turned his attention to me. He gave my chest a quick glance before setting his jaw firmly."Who told you it was okay to go out in public dressed like that?"My full attention was focused on him the entire time. I don't even know where to begin."Excuse me, but you're the one who makes me want to get in your car because I'm dressed like this!"He turned to face me again, and this time I yelled up my chest, raised my eyebrows, and grinned.I could see how hard his jaw was working and he tried to look away.My mouth curled into a naughty grin.One point, Natalia!He retrieved the draped long sleeve polo from the back seat and h
I DON'T think he sleeps in his room tonight. After we got into a fight about Marco, he just walked away and leave the house.While I was making fried chicken, I was singing along to the lyrics of a song.It's his decision whether or not to dine here. I just shrugged my shoulder.After I cooked my dinner the door swung open behind me.I was in a state of fear since I didn't expect him to return with a few goods in his hands. He put the can goods one by one to the cabinets.Instead of responding, I just walked away.Who gives a rat's s—? I'm not going to die if he doesn't pay attention to me!I finished the meal in a flash and got to work on the dishes.I walked right into the room next to his. I sat down on the bed and shut the door behind me. But I was paying attention to everything he was doing out side.My curiosity was piqued by hearing the main door shut. An indication that he came out of the house.Slowly, I rose to check if he'd truly gone. When I discovered he'd gone, I decided

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
