Dinner

I 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

    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

    Butterflies “I’ll make you pregnant if that’s what you’re worried about…” My heart pounded and my breath came in short gasps. I never expected him to say that to me. I had no idea why he even thought of such a thing. After confessing the truth to him, I expected him to kick me out and have me arrested. But I didn’t expect him to make a decision that would surely worsen the situation. I couldn’t move, my body stiffening under his grip. My lips parted, tears welling in my eyes, but I tried to look brave. Argo’s eyes were locked on mine, unwavering, refusing to back down from what he had started. Despite my efforts to hold them back, tears escaped. They spilled down my cheeks as I tried to slip off the couch, but he wouldn’t let me move an inch. He wiped the tears from my eyes with his soft hand, and I suppressed a sob. “Stop fucking crying, Natalia!” His eyes blazed like a torch. I knew his heart was filled with anger, and there was no way to soothe it. I squeezed my

    Sweet I stroked it, making it even larger, almost as if it was angry. I bit my lip and looked up at him. Argo's dark eyes glinted, his bushy brows drew together, and his jaw tightened as we locked eyes for a moment… I opened my mouth and sucked on his strong, hard shaft. I didn't break eye contact, and I saw his jaw clench when I started to take him in my mouth. He was huge and long, making it hard to move my mouth. I could only suck on the head. I didn't know how to continue… until Argo gripped my head and pulled my hair. He helped me to pull him in and adjusted my mouth to his long shaft. I moved at my own pace, doing the best I could. “Ah, fuck!” His dark eyes reflected the disapproval in his tone. I closed my eyes to try and stop the tears welling up in my eyes because of the repeated in and out motion on his long… well, you know. Until he pulled his shaft away from my mouth. He pulled my arm, making me stand up, and only then could I breathe properly. Argo looked

    Butterflies I swallowed and stayed in that position. I knew what his reaction might be when he found out the truth. “Fuck!” he said again. That’s when I found the courage to meet his gaze, which seemed to want to kill me. His eyes were now blazing with fire. I couldn’t contain his heat because my heart was already burning. He leaned down, staying slightly on top of me. His face was buried in my neck. His lips moved to my ear. His hand tightened its grip on my thigh. “You set me up in a fucking trap again.” His voice was so cold it made me shiver. No words came out of me except for the tears that fell because of the guilt gnawing at my heart. Argo moved away, leaned down, and grabbed my thighs. He tried to enter me again, this time slower and more deliberately. I felt the intense pain as his manhood pressed deeper into my opening. I flinched and almost trembled from the sting. I tried to close my legs, but it was no use. He was huge, long, and hard. How could I ever imag

    I woke up to the cold air brushing against my skin. The sun was already high in the sky when I opened my eyes to my own room. I turned to my side and hugged the hotdog pillow I was using as a cushion. I shut my eyes firmly as I remembered what happened last night and his last words to me that left a big cut in my heart. I knew he was angry about what he learned, especially about my lies and the way I manipulated him and his family. I curled up in bed, my shoulders shaking with silent sobs. My tears had been flowing non-stop since I returned to my room last night. I was filled with remorse for the wrongs I had done. But what hurt even more was the realization that I was deeply in love with him and I had no choice but to get hurt. Even now, I couldn't think of what to do. How would I face him? What if he really locked me up? And what if he took back the money he gave me? I harshly wiped away my tears and got up to sit. I have to do something... Think, Natalia. Use your con-a

    After we had breakfast, Madam and Aling Mareng invited me to go grocery shopping. They also bought me clothes that they said would suit my pregnancy. Even though I refused several times and told them not to buy me anything, they insisted on getting them for me. So I came out of the department store wearing a maternity dress. My face was flushed with embarrassment. You see, I knew there was no baby in my belly and it was obvious I wasn't pregnant. "There, that looks much better on you!" The lady couldn't stop smiling at me. "Thank you, Ma'am. You really didn't have to go through all that trouble. I'm fine with a T-shirt, it's more comfortable for me." But the lady shook her head at me. "You're the one my son chose to marry, so I won't allow you to wear simple clothes. It's better if we go to the bag and shoe shop, Mareng." I just returned a small smile and let her have her way. I was almost shocked at the price of the branded bags and shoes she bought for me. Not only that,

    New Beginning I woke up to a loud commotion coming from outside my room. Reluctantly, I got up and went to the bathroom to get some water from the pitcher. One eye still closed, I stepped out of the door. There, I found my neighbors, Sandra and the teenage girl, Hannah, arguing. I splashed the water I was holding on the two who were pulling each other's hair. They stopped, allowing their fellow teenagers to separate them. "What the heck, people are trying to sleep! If you want to fight, go downstairs to the court, not here!" I scolded them, still half-asleep from my sudden awakening. Hannah, who was glaring at me, gave me a dirty look. "Are you going to snitch on me? Maybe I'll tell your mom that you're only interested in men and not your studies!" I quickly turned to Sandra. "You know she's someone else's girlfriend, yet you still try to steal her! There are plenty of other guys out there!" Hannah quickly approached me. "Sister, please don't tell Mom..." she begged.

    I wore a simple peach dress that fell just above my knees. I paired it with wedge heels that were just the right height. Perfect for walking on soft sand. It wouldn't be a problem if I had to take them off. I let my wet hair hang loose and grabbed my sling bag. "Finally, you're done getting ready, let's go?" Andra said, standing up from the sofa. I glanced at Marco, who nodded at me. As we walked down the building, Andra kept talking to Argo. I looked at Marco, and he looked down at me with a soft smile. "I know what you're thinking, attorney." I shook my head and smiled back at him. "Where do you want to go after this?" I looked back at him. I think he just agreed to Andra's request for a double date. "Hmm... Where else, but where there's food!" A grin spread across my lips. "Good..." He even stroked my head, making me smile. . . . We went straight to Argo's yacht, which made my heart beat faster. It was the same yacht we were on when I pretended to be pregnan

    Sunset I couldn't sleep that night. The scene with Argo in his suite kept replaying in my mind. I bit my lip hard and couldn't help but hug my pillow tightly. A smile crept onto my lips. I slowly rubbed my lower lip where Argo had kissed it earlier. But the smile quickly faded when I remembered what Don Patricio had said to me. I had brought so much shame to their family. I don't think they'll ever forgive me for the deception I committed. I sighed. If he really meant those words to me, then why is he with Andra? "Nonsense..." You need to guard your heart, Natalia. The situation is different now. Argo knows your secret, that you're not really pregnant. More importantly, you haven't been absolved of the sins you committed against the Greensmith family. So, while you still have time, stay away from Argo. I closed my eyes tightly. Although I hadn't made a concrete decision, I chose to sleep on my worries. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a better solution to everything. But

    "Thank you for the delicious dinner. Next time I visit, I'll bring you my specialty, sinigang!" "I'll be looking forward to that, hija. I'm sorry I can't walk you down. My bodyguards are here to escort you." "No, it's okay. I'm fine. Besides, it's still early. My hotel is just a few steps away." I shook my head repeatedly. He couldn't do anything as I walked away from his suite. I waved to him, and he went inside. I turned to continue walking but stopped in my tracks. My heart skipped a beat as I looked deeply into his dark eyes. He was leaning against the closed door, arms crossed over his chest. I swallowed and continued walking with my head held high. I was about to ignore him, but he spoke. "I didn't know your taste in men had dropped so low? You'll sleep with anyone as long as they have money?" I stopped walking and turned to face him. Argo smirked while looking down at me. "What did you say?" I narrowed my eyes at him. He straightened up and put his hands in

    I'd been standing in front of my locker for a while, but it felt like my feet weren't even touching the ground. My whole body was numb from the beating I received earlier while facing Argo. No matter how much I tried to ignore what I was feeling, the pain it brought just kept getting deeper. "I think those two are a couple. They went down to the beach together earlier, and take note, they only booked one suite." I let out a sigh after hearing that from my colleagues. They were definitely talking about Argo and Andra. "They seem like a good match, unlike some people out there who pretend to be decent. Turns out they're just gold diggers." I heaved a deep sigh again and closed my locker. I didn't have the energy to argue with their snide remarks. I'd just let them talk until their mouths were tired. I was leaving the restaurant when I noticed Mr. Falcon's bodyguard waiting in the lobby. He approached me when he saw me. "Mr. President wants you in his suite," he told me. I

    Betrayal Instead of returning to the counter and continuing work, I went straight to the comfort room. I entered the last cubicle and sat down, holding her head. "Damn it, Natalia. Why didn't you think that Argo was the business partner Andra was talking about? Was it just a coincidence that she brought me here? Or maybe she knew we were already separated?" She was confused and couldn't think straight. Should she go back there, or would it be better to just go home? She let out a sigh before finally getting up. "Why do I have to hide and run from him? It's all over between us and I have nothing to hide anymore. So if I see him and Andra, I shouldn't be affected anymore." But why did her heart ache when she saw them together earlier? She could feel her heart being torn apart and butchered many times. She blinked as she noticed a tear rolling down her cheek. She didn't expect the scene earlier to have such a big impact on her. "I know Andra since college days. It's unlik

    I almost collapsed onto the soft bed when I got inside my room, I was too tired to even change clothes. Then, my cell phone rang. I quickly pulled it out of my bag and answered the call. "Natalia, how are you?" Andra's sweet voice greeted me. "I'm fine, I just got home from work," I replied. "I heard there was an event there earlier, and I also heard that you did a great job." My cheeks immediately flushed red. I didn't expect that news to reach her. "It wasn't that great, I just got a few good tips. You know, I used my charm on the customers!" I bragged. "Good to hear that, anyways it's getting late. I just wanted to check on you. Our business partner is coming a bit early tomorrow, we're scheduled to go there tomorrow." I immediately got up, a wide smile on my face. "Really, I'm excited to see you!" I noticed she paused for a moment before answering. "I requested Ms. Punzala to take care of us tomorrow. We plan to stay at the hotel for about a week because we're opening a

    Restaurant I was excited to go to work the next day because I knew I would be busy all day because of the wedding that would be held at the YF Building. Actually, the caterers were the ones in charge of the gathering, but because the wedding was so crowded, even though we were supposed to accommodate only 200 people, it seemed like it increased by 50 because of the number of guests who arrived. This building is also known to be popular, they want to experience the royal beauty of the entire hotel. "Did you see Mr. Falcon go down to the lobby?" I asked Shiela when I went to the restaurant at noon. "I didn't notice. But I think not, I'm sure our colleagues will look for you to serve there," she said. I nodded at her and was lost in deep thought. Was he okay? Our separation last night was good, right? I couldn't help but ask myself. "You, you seem to be getting close to Mr. Falcon." She teased me. I flinched at her and rolled my eyes before leaving the restaurant. I knew sh

    "You're the topic on the other shift. They say you're stealing the old man from the other waitresses so you can get the big tips." I shook my head and smiled at her before closing my locker. "Mr. Falcon seems nice, he even invited me for coffee today." Her eyes widened at me, she also covered her mouth. "Don't make it sound like that, I just see him like a father figure." "Oh, come on! I've heard that before. Don't get me started!" She poked my side, making me furrow my brow. "You're crazy, your mind is dirty!" "Just keep me updated, okay?" I didn't bother to respond to her and left the establishment. I found Mr. Falcon talking to some of his bodyguards in the parking lot. He immediately turned to me when one of them whispered to him. I smiled at him and walked towards him. "Let's go?" One of the bodyguards opened the door of his car. Although I was embarrassed, I bowed my head and got in. The old man went around to the other side of the car and sat next to me. My heart r

    The Encounter My work was busy in the following days. However, we were always swamped with customers, especially when there were events at the hotel where the restaurant was located. Most of the guests would end up here, especially when there were gatherings or tourists arriving at the hotel. Like today, there was a wedding in the conference room, and the wedding was scheduled for tomorrow, so the guests were here today. I could barely feel my feet because they were numb from standing for so long. It would be good if I was wearing flats, but I had to wear heels that were a bit high to look more presentable and decent. The male waiters were the ones carrying trays when they had a lot of items, so I had no problem with that. "Ugh, this day is tiring, imagine it's only noon but my beauty is already gone!" Shiela complained as she sat next to me at the back. It was break time, so I took advantage of the food and the sitting time because I knew there would be a rush of guests l
