Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 9: Ambush
Nala’s Point of View“Make sure to understand every single detail in that seminar, Nala. This will help you in your future work as my secretary, do you understand?”I took a deep breath as what Hugo told me yesterday entered my mind again.In my two weeks of working at Fabellon Enterprise, all he ever assigned me were papers. My eyes must be immune to the desktop monitor by now because of the sheer number of tasks he gave me. He hasn’t given me his schedule again, but apparently there are meetings happening in the conference room that I’m not aware of.Yesterday, when I handed him the documents from the HR department, he told me that I needed to attend a three-day seminar at a five-star hotel in Batangas. It’s really far from Manila and will take a long time, but according to Hugo, the company will cover all expenses, including our accommodations. There will be five of us attending the seminar, including me, who have limited knowledge of business administration but work for big compa
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 10: Plans
Nala’s Point of ViewI slowly opened my eyes as I heard a shattering sound that awakened my sleeping soul. It was followed by a crisp but faint curse coming from a familiar voice.I jolted up from the soft, white bed, realizing that I had fallen asleep while waiting for Hugo to return from the chaotic five-star hotel. As we reached the rooftop of the hotel a while ago, we immediately boarded a chopper and were dropped off at the helipad of a yacht. I had no idea where we were going. All I knew was that we were now out at sea.Since the lights were off, I couldn’t clearly make out Hugo, but based on the figure I could see, he was sitting on the sofa, not far from the bed where I was.“Hugo?” I called out to him, causing him to look in my direction. His eyes, with their unusual glow-in-the-dark color, seemed to come alive again as our gazes met in the darkness.I stood up and was about to walk towards him when he said, “Stay put. Don’t come near me.” He gave me an order, but I didn’t l
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 11: Upper Deck
Nala’s Point of ViewI let my natural brown hair fly in the wind as I held onto the glass railing of the yacht here on the front deck. All I could see was the blue color of the sea. There was no sight of any island we could dock at.It was only seven o’clock, but my mind was already wide awake. I don’t even know if I managed to sleep soundly last night after finding out everything. I just woke up, and Hugo was no longer in the cabin where we talked, and his belongings were also gone. I don’t know where he slept, but I’m sure he wouldn’t leave me here alone, especially with his injury.He probably slept in the other cabin.I took a deep breath as thoughts of my conversation with Hugo last night came rushing back. I had asked him so many questions, but he refused to answer any of them, so I gained nothing from it.My gaze shifted to the floral maxi dress I was wearing, its skirt swaying with the wind. I didn’t have any other clothes with me since I left all my decent outfits at the hote
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 12: Training
Nala’s Point of ViewMy heart is beating so fast, as if it could jump out of my chest at any moment. I can also feel tears welling up in my eyes as I stare at the loading screen of Hugo’s laptop.“Tsk. It’s still nothing. Why are you already crying?” Hugo rudely asks, sitting next to me on the sofa.I sniffle and give him a glare, but I don’t say anything to contradict him or anything. We both face his laptop, waiting for something to happen, while the screen keeps spinning in circles.”“Is the internet connection weak here? You’re so darn rich, but your wifi is trash,” I commented, wiping away my tears with the tissue that was almost empty in the tissue box.He glared at me. "It's your fault for crying.”“Since when did crying become a fault?! And are my tears connected to the internet or something? Can’t I just be happy to see my sister again?”“Yeah, I get your point, but you’ve been crying for almost ten minutes, for Pete’s sake!”“It’s not my fault! If you’re going to buy wifi, d
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 13: Oath
Hugo's Point of ViewMy jaw clenched, and I gasped for air. I breathe heavily as I continue to jack my shaft off, faster and harder. I’m going to cum.“Fuck!” I groaned. I closed my eyes tightly as I felt my white, sticky semen spill on my hand.I muttered curses and washed my hand. It’s been a while since I last did this. That’s why it is so fucking hot. Honestly, I can easily ask Nala to do this job for me because it was part of the contract. I can easily tell her to fuck with me, but damn—I can’t!I cannot do that because I don't want to disrespect her. Yes, I admit, I was an asshole for offering that job to her in exchange for her sister's medical condition, but I cannot stand by that decision.I desire her. Yes. I’m not a saint for not feeling that way towards Nala. She’s a hot and beautiful goddess. I can see myself fucking her in my bed with the same eagerness.I took a deep breath and leaned my back against the rim of the bathtub. The cold water continues to fall from the fauc
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 14: Cambodia
Nala’s Point of ViewStupid! Stupid! Stupid!I don’t know how many times I’ve cursed myself for the foolishness I displayed earlier. I don’t know where I found the courage to say all of those things to him. I know I offended Hugo with the words I said, so I can’t help but scold myself for what came out of my mouth.“You okay?” I was slightly jolted from leaning on the glass railings here at the pool deck when someone suddenly spoke behind me.When I turned around, Dominic was standing not far from where I was. He had a double rock glass with alcohol in it.“Sir Dominic,” I straightened up and faced him.“Cut the sir, Nala. You can call me Dominic or Domi. Anything that makes you comfortable.”I smiled. “Alright, Domi it is, so I don’t waste my saliva,” I said and chuckled lightly. He laughed at that too.“It’s up to you. I don’t mind.” He took a sip of alcohol from the glass he was holding.“So what are you doing here? Are you also here to have some fresh air?” “Yep.”I nodded and le
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 15: Secret
Nala’s Point of ViewI rested my chin on both of my hands while my elbows were propped up on top of the marble center table. I’ve been bored here for quite some time now. I had nothing to do and no one to talk to because Hugo was busy working.“Yes. Please send me the document through my email. I want to see it myself,” Hugo said to the person on his laptop. “Nah. You don’t have to do that. I’m not in the Philippines right now. I’m in Toronto.”My eyes widened at what I heard. Toronto?! He somehow traveled too far away from where we were, which was just in Phnom Penh!He’s currently in an online conference meeting. He’s at the dining table while I’m in the living room, but I can still see him from where I’m sitting.I’ve been trying not to burst out laughing here because he’s only wearing a white button-down long-sleeve shirt paired with a navy blue suit and a patterned tie. But what’s really funny is that instead of wearing slacks, all he’s wearing as bottoms are black boxer shorts a
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 16: Trust
Nala’s Point of ViewI took a deep breath while gripping the gun tightly. I held back my trembling hand and forced my eyes to focus on the red target in the distance. I closed my eyes for a moment to calm myself before slowly squeezing the trigger, causing my body to slightly recoil from the impact.Even though I was wearing ear protection, I could still hear the faint clicking of Hugo’s annoying tongue movement. I removed my eye protection and ear gear and faced him, a trace of disappointment evident on my face.“You didn’t even hit the edge of the target, Nala,” he said, shaking his head before walking towards me.I rolled my eyes and ran my tongue inside my cheek.“Sorry about that. I guess I’m just not as skilled as you are. You know, I’m still a beginner,” I sarcastically remarked.He raised an eyebrow. I couldn’t tell if he picked up on the sarcasm in my voice or if he simply chose to ignore what I said.He approached me and put the ear gear back in my ears and the eye protectio

Craving Pleasure (English) EPILOGUE
Hugo’s 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 city’s 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.It’s been two years and three months since I moved here to give Nala the space she wanted. Honestly, it’s hard without her by my side because I know that she’s 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 before—that she loves me. I’ll do whatever it takes to make her come back to me. I believe that we are meant to be together.
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 51: Forgiveness
Nala’s Point of View“I’m sorry, Hugo…” 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 other’s 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 didn’t respond, so I spoke again. I wanted to say everything I wanted to say before it’s too late.“I’m sorry for hurting you back then. I’m sorry for being too much and not thinking about how you felt. I didn’t realize that you were also hurting from Lorcan’s death.”“L-Lorcan?” he asked.I smiled, but it didn’t reach my eyes. “Lorcan is what I named our child. Lorcan Amani Cabral Fabellon.”His eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what I just said. “D-Did you really follow his last name with me?” he asked in disbelief.I bit my lower lip and nodded slowly. “Yes, I did. Because I know you deserve it. Lorcan is our child… You’re
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 50: Garden
Nala’s 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 I’m sure was more expensive than my monthly salary. It didn’t 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
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 49: Drunk
Nala’s 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 didn’t know how to react. I didn’t 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 couldn’t bring myself to speak as I stared into his cold eyes, eyes that
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 48: New Life
Nala’s Point of View“Hey, just follow us, Nala, okay? We’ll wait for you there,” Jenna reminded me, already prepared to leave with our other colleagues.I smiled and nodded at her. “Okay. Take care, everyone!” 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 there’s 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.“Hello, Uncle Gael?” I greeted as soon as I answered.“Hello, dear. Did I disturb something?”I shook my head, even though he couldn’t see me. “No, Uncle. I’m actually about to leave. Do you have any orders for me?”“Can you come to my office, dear? We just need to talk about something in person; it’s kind of important.”“Sure, Uncle. Just wait for me.”“Oka
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 47: Beg
Nala’s Point of View“Eat something, Nala. You’ll get sick if you keep doing this,” Lawrence said after knocking from outside my room here at my house in Parañaque.“Leave me alone, Lawrence. I can take care of myself. Go away!” 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 hasn’t left me alone. He keeps knocking, and I’m starting to get irritated.I came here after talking to Hugo at the park yesterday. I don’t 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 he’s not with me.My eyes are swollen from crying. I haven’t eaten since yesterday, and all I’ve done is cry until I’m exhausted.My emotions are all mixed up, and my chest feels heavy. I don’t know what to do anymore. I just let myself cry because I wanted to let it all out. All the pain I’m feeling.I’m mourning the loss of my child. I still ca
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 46: Pain
Nala’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t even mourn because they kept the truth from me!It hurts! It's extremely painful to lose a child as a mother. I didn’t even see, touch, kiss, or do anything. I didn’t even make her feel a mother’s care. I didn’t even apologize earlier. I neglected her. I failed to protect her!This is my fault.I didn’t 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 didn’t care.I heard my cellphon
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 45: Child
Nala’s 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 doesn’t fall asleep right away after we do that thing, so I knew he must still be tired. I don’t 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 shouldn’t be a problem for me to move around the house, right? The doctor said I’m okay.I was still wearing Hugo’s loose clothes when I came downstairs. It’s fine because it’s just the two of us here in the house, but there are still guards outside.I’m grateful that Daniel Cordova is no longer a problem. I don’t know if he’s still alive, but Hugo assured me that he wouldn’t bother me—us 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 hasn’t been a
Craving Pleasure (English) CHAPTER 44: Bath
Nala’s Point of View“So, how are you feeling? Don’t you feel anything strange about your body?” asked Doc Tami as she peeled an orange.I shook my head. “I’m okay, Doc Tami. Actually, I could be discharged today,” I joked.I still call her Doc Tami even though I know she’s my sister because I’m 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 it’s understandable because we just met. Everything takes time, she said.She raised an eyebrow. “Don’t be so sure. You might feel something different after you’re discharged.”I pouted. “Is there such a thing?”“Of course. It’s not impossible. I’ve had patients who just left the hospital but came back because they felt something different,” she explained. “Here. 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,” she explained.I took the p
