‘Stop!’
Siena shouted inside her head, telling her body to stop reacting, but her body comply no more with her thought. Her body chose to respond the pleasure of temptation offered by Alfonso’s lips. She whimpered, her breath hitched, her skin tingled with a hot burning sensation under his kiss. Gosh! Why didn’t her body listen to her mind?
Alfonso couldn’t help but smile at Siena’s reaction. Her eyes were still shut, but obviously she enjoyed his kiss and his touch. It made him determined to seduce her even more. He kept pressing his lips on her bare neck, his fingers slipped under her blouse, caressing her belly. His lips travelled up to her jawline, kissing and licking with his tongue.
“You like it, Cherry?” he whispered in her ear.
Siena was almost breathless because of Alfonso’s ‘attack’. She opened her mouth to take
Alfonso and Siena were sitting in the same dining room as last night, enjoying their breakfast. Only this time, fewer dishes were served and without sake. Ugh! Siena felt her head started to throb again every time she thought of sake! Because of that darn liquor, she did the craziest thing last night and this morning with Alfonso!Her eyes glanced at Alfonso sitting opposite of her. He seemed to be enjoying his bowl of gyudon while sipping hot ocha in between.‘So annoying…! How on earth he can be so relaxed, as if nothing is happening?’ she cursed inwardly.How could she not be annoyed? Her heart was still drumming wildly recalling the intimacy they had in bed. She could vividly remember the warmth and softness of his touch on her skin. Even the taste of his lips still lingered on her lips! This morning, she had spent more time in the bathroom just to
Alfonso got silent for a moment upon hearing Siena’s words. Deep down, he really wished she was right, but he might be just too stubborn to admit it. Stubbornness and big ego, those were the source of problem in his family. His character wasn’t that different from his father’s and his grandfather’s character. They were just too proud of themselves to admit their true feelings.Things were different with Siena. She was always honest and straightforward in expressing her feelings. Only to her could Alfonso tell the truth about his past. Why? Maybe because he felt comfortable, and Siena seemed to care about his problems. Or maybe because she already had a special place in his heart....“Thanks, Cherry…. I wish you’re right. But I was also serious of what I said. I can see now, why my Grandfather was so close to you and your mother. We share almost the same story. We both lost our beloved
Alfonso and Siena stepped out of Siena’s childhood house holding hands. Siena’s heart warmed inside as she recalled Alfonso’s words. He said he wanted to start anew, and even asked her to stay by his side. Did he just ask her to become his lover? The thought of it brought butterfly to her stomach, and her heart kept beating wildly inside her chest. Really, what was wrong with her?They made their way to the car waiting outside. Alfonso turned his head around as if looking for something, before he stepped into the car.“Strange…,” he mumbled, turning back once again through the back seat window.“What is it?” Siena asked in confusion.“That car is following us.” He pointed a white SUV car parked several miles behind their car. “Since we left Sakura Hotel, I had the feeling we were being tailed by that car.”&
Alfonso groaned softly. “I’m getting tired of it.”Siena turned to look at him. “This time, why don’t you try to break the code?” A mischievous smile curved her lips.“Are you taunting me, Cherry?” He arched an eyebrow.“No, but I’m challenging you.” Her smile turned into a wider grin.Alfonso watched her face silently for a while. “Aaah….” He smirked. “So you have known the answer? And you want to test me, to see if I’m smart enough?”Siena couldn’t help laughing. For the first time she could enjoy laughing at Alfonso, not because of taunting him, but more because of excitement.“I haven’t known the answer, but I’m guessing. Let’s see if you can also break the code.” She was getting bolder in challenging him
“Alfonso Garcia…?”The green-eyed woman suddenly called Alfonso by his name. Alfonso and Siena turned their heads to her at the same time. The woman looked startled, but the next second, a smile plastered on her face.“Oh my gosh! It’s really you, Alfonso!” she screamed hysterically, as if meeting her idol. “You remember me, don’t you?”A frown settled on Alfonso’s face at once. Who was this woman? Her emerald eyes were beautiful, and her complexion was glowing. Was she…?The woman took off her pink beanie hat from her head, showing her reddish brown hair cascading elegantly down to her back. “It’s me, Sasha! Sasha Petrova…!”The name sounded like a Russian name, and her accent was quite unique.“Sa-sha…?” Alfonso was still trying to r
“Mister Lambert?”Damien picked up the call from his secretary sitting outside of his office room. “Yes, Natalie?”“You have a guest. He said his name was Brian Jung.”Damien furrowed his brows. Who was that? He never heard of that name.“He wants to meet you. He said it was important, something about Miss Siena Mori.”*****Damien fixed his gaze on the man with oriental look sitting opposite of him. A stranger for him, but why did Brian say he had something about Siena?Clearing his throat, Brian began to talk, “I’ll straight to my point. I’m Brian Jung, Siena’s best friend.”Best friend? Damien didn’t remember Siena had ever talked about Brian, but of course he had not known many things about Siena.
“Cherry, please open the door…!”Alfonso was knocking at the room where Siena stayed tonight. He had called her cellphone several times, but there was no answer. He had also searched for her everywhere in the resort but to no avail. The only possibility was Siena had to be in her room.“Cherry…, I know you’re in there. Open the door!”‘Ah, what’s wrong with Siena?’ Alfonso complained. She left him in the clinic without any explanation when he was taking Sasha for a treatment. Was she angry, or jealous?“Cherry –“Suddenly the door flew open. Siena stood there wearing a long pink nightgown. The nightgown was neither made of thin fabric nor revealing. Yet he found it looking so enticing on her body.“What is it?” Siena asked in a flat tone.
Alfonso never expected to meet Sasha again, especially not at this moment, when he felt the wine had started to intoxicate his mind and make his body heat. When he laid his eyes on Sasha, he realized she was wearing a very sexy and seductive red mini dress.“Oh, I don’t need a partner, Sasha….” Contrary to his words, he couldn’t tear his eyes off of her body.Sasha giggled. “Your words don’t fit the way you look at me. Didn’t I tell you earlier that you could take me to my bedroom?”Holy moly! Alfonso’s body began to react out of his control upon hearing Sasha’s whisper in his ear!“Let me alone, Sasha. I’m having a bad mood.” He tried his last resort to send Sasha away, while struggling to keep his right mind.Sasha held his face to look at her. “Why do you have to be alone,
“What does it mean?” Siena’s brows knotted in confusion. “But today is not my birthday.”Ah, it had to be a code, Siena thought. Alfonso intentionally played a prank on her right on their wedding day!She searched for a pen and started to scribble on the paper. “My birthday is on September 17th. Probably it’s the key to shift the letters. Hmm, let me try.”She wrote down her answer on the paper.HVCPAQFKXDR17917917917ICLQHXGRGEY“That’s odd. It has no meaning!” Siena did a double take at the result. “Or… I should shift the letters to left, not to right!”She scribbled again on the paper.HVCPAQFKXDR17917917917GOTOTHEDOCK&n
“By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.”As soon as the pastor finished his sentences, Alfonso took Siena in his arms, caressed her cheeks blushing beautifully with the softest touch, and locked their lips in an affectionate kiss. All the guests were applauding and cheering for them.Everything ran according to Siena’s wish on her very special day. She did not wish for a luxurious party, expensive gifts, or fancy wedding dress like a Disney princess. All she wanted was to exchange their wedding vows faithfully and to have the people she loved around her.Once the wedding ceremony was over, Alfonso and Siena got hugs and kisses from Stefano, Carlo, as well as Irina who came all the way from Melbourne. Suddenly….“Siena Chan! Congratulations!” Who
Alfonso entered the bedroom with his face shining. Siena had changed into her nightgown and sat with her head leaning on the headboard. She turned her gaze at him instantly.“You look happy…. It seems like I don’t have to worry about anything you talked with Dad,” Siena said.Alfonso showed a wide grin on his face. “I have just got a Dad today.”Siena gasped. “Is that true? Dad has asked you to call him Dad?”Alfonso answered with a nod. “Yup!”“Oh, Alf, I’m so happy to hear that!” She opened her arms wide to hug Alfonso.Alfonso took a seat next to her and held her tight. “I can’t imagine I have a complete family now. I have a wife I love the most, a wise father, a freaky
For Alfonso, today had to be one of the most special days in his entire life. He had lost Siena for more than three months, struggling to survive with his broken heart, even enduring his life as if a zombie, his body was alive but his mind and his soul was empty.Those miserable days had passed. Now Siena returned to him. Even more than he dared to imagine, he got Siena back together with their unborn baby!“Don’t you want to eat, Cherry? I haven’t seen you eat anything tonight,” Alfonso spoke, looking worried.Tonight, their engagement party took place in the spacious back yard of the house. De Martini was a renowned and very important noble family in Siena City. No wonder the guests just kept on coming.Alfonso insisted that Siena sit on the sofa inside the gazebo throughout the party. He did not want her
“Good day, Mister Stefano.” Alfonso decided to greet first. “Carlo, Damien….” He nodded to the three of them.Stefano’s gaze fell on Alfonso’s and Siena’s hands holding each other. “Siena, you scared us to death. Did Alfonso hurt you?” Clearly Stefano ignored Alfonso’s greeting on purpose.“No, Dad. Alfonso will never hurt me,” Siena gave a quick reply. “Dad, please let us explain everything.”“I believe everything is as clear as crystal for me. You choose to hurt the heart of a very good man like Damien only to return to a man who has obviously hurt you before,” Stefano retorted in a stern voice.“Dad, it’s my mistake. Alfonso has never hurt me. I knew he had nothing to do with Gloria’s problem, but when he came
It took a moment for Alfonso’s words to sink in Siena’s mind. But all she could do was staring at him with her eyes wide opened and her jaw fell to the floor.“I beg you please don’t marry Damien. I want you to be mine only. Marry me, Cherry…,” Alfonso said it loud and clear, the words warming her heart.“Alf….”“Yes, Cherry?”“Did you realize you just asked me to marry you? In a locked garage where you have just kidnapped me right on the day I’m supposed to get engaged to Damien?”Alfonso seemed to ponder for a moment. “Well…, I could have done something more insane if you want me to. I could appear out of nowhere at your house and shout loudly to prevent Damien from putting the engagement ring on y
“You look as pretty as a picture, Siena,” said Viola, a woman around her forties who was Siena’s make-up artist today.Right now Siena was having her beauty treatment in a professional salon before her engagement party. At first she planned to do her own make-up, but Carlo insisted that she had to look special on this very special day.So she reluctantly went to the salon with Pino driving her here, while Stefano, Carlo, and Damien were preparing for tonight’s party in her house.“Don’t you think… it’s too much for me?” Siena hesitated as she saw her reflection in the mirror, since she never liked overdone make-up and preferred natural one.“Absolutely not. Your make-up is perfect for a very special occasion,” Viola convinced her with a smile.&
As Alfonso drove his car entering the front yard of his house, he felt suspicious seeing a white limousine car was parked at the public garden locating right across the house. Not many people would feel convenient to drive a limousine everywhere since it attracted too much attention. Who was the owner of the car, a Hollywood celebrity looking for attention on purpose?Alfonso strode into the house and came to a halt immediately as he scented an odd smell, the smell that reminded him of something familiar.He hurried his steps, his eyes searching everywhere until he finally saw what he had suspected before. Carlo was sitting in the family room of his house smoking cigar!“I believe it’s time for me to hire some bodyguards to keep my house safe. What do you think you are doing, barging into my house at your pleasure?” Alfonso sounded irritated.
Alfonso got out from his car. His gaze landed on Brian and Gloria sitting next to each other in front of their mobile coffee shop and staring at him with serious expression.“How are you doing, Alfonso?” Gloria greeted first, because Brian just remained silent.“Hi, Gloria. How are you and your baby doing?” Alfonso asked in return, standing in front of them.“We are good, though I feel I’m getting heavier day by day,” Gloria said and tittered at her own joke.“I think you seem more like a fashionable pregnant woman, Gloria,” Alfonso praised, but he glanced over at Brian.He said it only to give his support to Gloria without any intention to flatter. But he knew how possessive Brian could be. And he guessed it right, Brian’s expression cha
