Craving Pleasure (English)Ā Ā Ā EPILOGUE
Hugoās Point of ViewAs I sit on the terrace of my condo unit, sipping a glass of rum, I am captivated by the city of Brussels, Belgium.The Grand Place, with its ornate buildings and intricate facades, is a true masterpiece. The Atomium, a modern marvel, stands tall in the distance, symbolizing the cityās forward-thinking nature.The streets are alive with the sound of laughter and chatter as locals and tourists alike explore the countless shops and cafes.The scent of Belgian waffles fills the air. As the sun sets, the city comes alive with a kaleidoscope of lights.Itās been two years and three months since I moved here to give Nala the space she wanted. Honestly, itās hard without her by my side because I know that sheās my strength that keeps me alive, yet I need to respect her decision.I know that she loves me. I still hold on to the words she said to me beforeāthat she loves me. Iāll do whatever it takes to make her come back to me. I believe that we are meant to be together.

Nalaās Point of ViewāIām sorry, Hugoā¦ā Those were the first words that came out of my mouth as I looked into his eyes.Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered everything that had happened before. How we were happy in each otherās arms. How we overcame all the challenges together and how I gave up so quickly.I bit my lower lip and lowered my head. He didnāt respond, so I spoke again. I wanted to say everything I wanted to say before itās too late.āIām sorry for hurting you back then. Iām sorry for being too much and not thinking about how you felt. I didnāt realize that you were also hurting from Lorcanās death.āāL-Lorcan?ā he asked.I smiled, but it didnāt reach my eyes. āLorcan is what I named our child. Lorcan Amani Cabral Fabellon.āHis eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what I just said. āD-Did you really follow his last name with me?ā he asked in disbelief.I bit my lower lip and nodded slowly. āYes, I did. Because I know you deserve it. Lorcan is our childā¦ Youāre

Nalaās Point of ViewI smiled at my reflection in the human-sized mirror, admiring myself in the royal blue evening gown that Uncle Gael sent earlier for the event I would be attending tonight with Mr. Joseph Zuniga.I was in awe as I continuously gazed at the gown, as if it were a bubble that would disappear if I blinked my eyes.The gown features a strapless sweetheart neckline that accentuates my shoulders and collarbone. The bodice of the gown was perfectly tailored, hugging my waist and creating an elegant silhouette. The skirt, on the other hand, was floor-length and in an A-line style.I also noticed that the fabric used was luxurious satin, which Iām sure was more expensive than my monthly salary. It didnāt itch on my skin like other expensive clothes tend to do, and it was adorned with intricate beading and sequins that created a shimmering effect under the lights.The gown also had a low V-shaped cut at the back, exposing my fair skin. I kept my makeup natural to avoid looki

Nalaās Point of ViewMy eyes widened as I recognized that deep baritone voice. I held my breath as he slowly turned towards me, confirming my suspicion.I didnāt know how to react. I didnāt know what to feel. My normally rational thoughts became jumbled in the face of this sudden turn of events.I swallowed hard as my heart rate quickened upon meeting his gunmetal blue eyes, eyes that I used to love so much.Just moments ago, I was thinking about him, and now he was standing right in front of me. It had been three years since I last saw him, and I could say that he had changed physically.His face had become even more mature. From his eyes, which used to seduce, to his thicker eyebrows and pointed nose, which had become more defined, his lips are now even redder In a natural way. I also noticed that his chest had broadened and his physique was becoming more sculpted.I noticed all of this within a few seconds. I couldnāt bring myself to speak as I stared into his cold eyes, eyes that

Nalaās Point of ViewāHey, just follow us, Nala, okay? Weāll wait for you there,ā Jenna reminded me, already prepared to leave with our other colleagues.I smiled and nodded at her. āOkay. Take care, everyone!ā I added.Once they had left, I continued packing up my belongings on my desk. It was already three in the afternoon, and we were about to leave work. We always leave early on Fridays because thereās no work at the office the next day.Just as I turned off the lampshade on my table, my cellphone, which was inside my bag, started ringing. I picked it up and quickly answered the call when I saw the name flashing on the screen.āHello, Uncle Gael?ā I greeted as soon as I answered.āHello, dear. Did I disturb something?āI shook my head, even though he couldnāt see me. āNo, Uncle. Iām actually about to leave. Do you have any orders for me?āāCan you come to my office, dear? We just need to talk about something in person; itās kind of important.āāSure, Uncle. Just wait for me.āāOka

Nalaās Point of ViewāEat something, Nala. Youāll get sick if you keep doing this,ā Lawrence said after knocking from outside my room here at my house in ParaƱaque.āLeave me alone, Lawrence. I can take care of myself. Go away!ā I shooed him away for the umpteenth time while I was wrapped in a blanket.Ever since he came over at nine this morning, he hasnāt left me alone. He keeps knocking, and Iām starting to get irritated.I came here after talking to Hugo at the park yesterday. I donāt know if it was the right decision to come straight home or not. I remember our memories together here. In every corner of this house, I see him, even though heās not with me.My eyes are swollen from crying. I havenāt eaten since yesterday, and all Iāve done is cry until Iām exhausted.My emotions are all mixed up, and my chest feels heavy. I donāt know what to do anymore. I just let myself cry because I wanted to let it all out. All the pain Iām feeling.Iām mourning the loss of my child. I still ca

Nalaās Point of ViewI left the hospital with a mix of emotions. I wanted to scream, but it felt like I had no voice. I wanted to cry, but it seemed like I didnāt have the strength to sob. My hand was shaking as I walked aimlessly along the side of the road, not caring if I was hit by cars.The sun was hot, but I didnāt feel any pain. My whole body was numb from what I had learned.I felt betrayed.All this time, I was no longer pregnant. For two weeks, I was oblivious to what happened to my child! I couldnāt even mourn because they kept the truth from me!It hurts! It's extremely painful to lose a child as a mother. I didnāt even see, touch, kiss, or do anything. I didnāt even make her feel a motherās care. I didnāt even apologize earlier. I neglected her. I failed to protect her!This is my fault.I didnāt know where my feet were taking me as I continued to walk. I ignored the people who were glancing at me. They probably thought I was going crazy. I didnāt care.I heard my cellphon

Nalaās Point of ViewI woke up earlier than Hugo the next morning. I got up slowly so as not to wake him. As far as I remember, he doesnāt fall asleep right away after we do that thing, so I knew he must still be tired. I donāt know what else he did because I fell asleep right away last night.I went to the bathroom to wash up and brush my teeth. Then I went downstairs to prepare breakfast. It shouldnāt be a problem for me to move around the house, right? The doctor said Iām okay.I was still wearing Hugoās loose clothes when I came downstairs. Itās fine because itās just the two of us here in the house, but there are still guards outside.Iām grateful that Daniel Cordova is no longer a problem. I donāt know if heās still alive, but Hugo assured me that he wouldnāt bother meāus anymore. I trust him, so I believe what he said.And now that our battle with the Pure Blood Organization is over, our lives have returned to normal. Dominic has been busy with his own life, so he hasnāt been a

Nalaās Point of ViewāSo, how are you feeling? Donāt you feel anything strange about your body?ā asked Doc Tami as she peeled an orange.I shook my head. āIām okay, Doc Tami. Actually, I could be discharged today,ā I joked.I still call her Doc Tami even though I know sheās my sister because Iām not comfortable calling her Sis or Sis Tami. I told her that on the second day since I woke up, and she understood. She said itās understandable because we just met. Everything takes time, she said.She raised an eyebrow. āDonāt be so sure. You might feel something different after youāre discharged.āI pouted. āIs there such a thing?āāOf course. Itās not impossible. Iāve had patients who just left the hospital but came back because they felt something different,ā she explained. āHere. Eat this. It will help you. Oranges are packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, which can boost the immune system, improve digestion, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases,ā she explained.I took the p

PROLOGUENalaās Point of ViewāCan you really do this?ā Lawrence asked worriedly as we walked down the dark alley.I chuckled softly, masking the growing doubt within me. The darkness of the alley concealed my true appearance, preventing him from seeing the extent of my uncertainty.āYes,ā I calmly answered.He took a deep breath and looked at me seriously.āDonāt lie to me, Nala. I know you. You can lie to everyone, but not to me. I know you really donāt want to do this.āTss. Why did you ask if you already knew it then?We stopped walking when we were almost out of the alley. I faced him. Even though it was dark, I could still see the worry in Lawrenceās eyes. Thanks for the few lights from the city building outside the alley.Honestly, no one else seems to give a damn about what I'm going through right now. But you know what? This guy, he's been there for me. I mean, seriously, he's like my rock. When I needed someone the most, he didn't bail on me. And for that, I'm beyond gratefu...
