YVONNE

My footsteps were heavy. I felt like dragging my feet on the floor as I walked back to the penthouse.

I just came home from the foundation feeling exhausted from a day's work. I pressed the pad of my index finger on the scanner. Every day, I am half expecting my access to the penthouse to be gone. I imagine pressing my finger on it, but it won't open. Or an alarm to go off for unauthorized use.

Perhaps it will happen, but not today. The door opened and I let myself in. The whole unit was eerily quiet just like the past few days.

Cora is usually gone whenever I return from work. I'm not used to it but I have no choice. I should consider this as practice. Once the divorce is settled, I would be coming home to an empty house every day just like this. Not the penthouse, of course. I obviously can't afford it.

"You're late."

I gasped and almost jumped when I heard Vladimir's voice. I thought I was just hearing things, but there he was, sitting on the couch with a glass of alcohol i

    YVONNEWhat the hell am I doing?!My insides churned, and I immediately panicked when realization started to kick in. I tried to pull away from the kiss we were sharing but Vlad held my face with his callous hands in place."Uhm," I groaned in protest but it seemed to only make him more aggressive.I tried to open my eyes to look at him. His eyes were closed. His kisses were hungry and desperate, owning every corner of my mouth. I could hardly breathe when he finally let me go.I thought he had come to his senses like me, but boy I was wrong!I was still gasping for air when his lips traveled down to my chin and neck! His face nuzzled into the crook of it and I found myself tilting my head sideways to give him more access.Fuck. I'll be damned!"Vladimir," I called his name in an attempt to stop him but my voice came out more like a moan when he started sucking the sensitive part of my skin just a little below my ear.I squeezed my eyes shut. What the hell is he doing?I tried to push

    YVONNEMy whole body felt so sore when I woke up. Memories from last night rushed into my head as soon as I opened my eyes and realized I was in Vladimir's bedroom.I gasped. What have I done?What have I done?! I frantically chanted inside my head while trying my best to get up as quietly as possible.Vladimir is still fast asleep beside me. I can see his bare back. The sheets covered him from the waist down but I wouldn't have to guess. I'm sure he's still naked as the day he was born. And so am I!"What the hell, Yvonne!" I hissed as soon as I closed the door behind me. My heart was racing like crazy. I can't believe it was all real!I fisted my hands on my hair. Where are the divorce papers? I need to sign them as soon as possible. Vladimir isn't good for my sanity.I went to the living room just to squirm at the scene that greeted me there. Our clothes were scattered everywhere. If Riva happened to look for him here, she didn't have to second guess what happened.I picked up our

    VLADIMIRI woke up feeling more confused than ever. I just fucking slept with Yvonne!I took her over and over last night until exhaustion finally defeated us. Yes, I drank a few glasses of whiskey but I'm not even tipsy yet!How can I do that, knowing that Riva was waiting for me at home? I can't even do it with her for fuck's sake! She kind of initiated intimacy the other night but I subtly rejected her."I missed you more, Vlad," she murmured as she leaned down to capture my lips.I closed my eyes, pulling her closer to deepen the kiss. I was desperately seeking that feeling I used to have whenever she was close. My fingers buried into her hair, angling her head to have better access to her mouth. Her moans were muffled in her throat when I sucked her tongue. She was already sitting on my lap, her core directly on top of my cock."Take me, master," she whispered against my skin while catching her breath.My whole body seemed to freeze after hearing those words come out of her lips

    YVONNEI looked around the walk-in closet, then sighed. I was about to pack my things, but then I realized I owned nothing here. Vladimir was the one who bought everything in this closet. I was just wearing a flimsy pair of lingerie when I was taken here.I chuckled humorlessly. It's funny how it seemed like it all happened yesterday. Now, it's over.I'm leaving. Finally, after being locked up my whole life, I will be free. I know the past few months with Vladimir didn't feel like it, but still, I didn't have my own free will. Unlike now...It felt exhilarating and terrifying at the same time."You can do this," I tried to cheer myself up. I took a deep breath and smiled.I decided not to take anything with me. I have already checked the money I earned from working in the foundation. It should be enough to get a decent place and buy a few things for myself. I looked around one last time. I went around the whole unit, trying to embed everything in my memory. This place meant so much t

    YVONNEI stood in the middle of the bare apartment. I just paid the security deposit. I got the deal all thanks to Dave. He helped me because I didn't have a credit history or other requirements. He agreed to become my guarantor.Now, I have a place I can call my own, sort of. I still need to furnish it though. Selene offered to help, but I wanted to do it alone. I don't think it's hard to do since it's a studio apartment. The space is limited. I only need a few pieces of furniture and appliances.But still, I am so excited to make it my own. I grinned while imagining how I wanted it to look like."I can't believe I'm here," I muttered to myself. It still felt like a dream. A dream that turns into a nightmare from time to time, but it's slowly getting more bearable. I keep myself occupied to refrain from wallowing in pain and self-pity.Like now, I just got off from work so I decided to do something productive than cry and lay around for the rest of the day.I went to a nearby home fu

    YVONNEThe weekend came by so fast. I'm getting by just fine. I think. The numbing pain in my chest ever since I left Vlad slowly morphed into a dull ache until I couldn't feel anything anymore.I've already moved into my apartment unit the other day. Everything I bought was already delivered, but I haven't finished decorating yet. Aside from the daybed and some other things I already needed, the others remained in their boxes.I was so busy with the upcoming opening of Project Eve that I barely had time to decorate. When I came home, I was usually exhausted and could hardly eat.But it's Saturday today and I didn't have anything to do so I might as well try to finish decorating the place. After eating breakfast, I immediately started working my ass off. I cleaned up first before unboxing the things I bought.Slowly, the whole unit started to come together. I could feel the sweat dripping on my forehead and I was already catching my breath but I kept going."Is it slanted?" I stepped b

    YVONNEI didn't know when I fell asleep, but it was already dark outside when I woke up. My stomach is grumbling with so much hunger.At first, I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep but the rumbling was too much to bear. I stood up to look for something to eat."Ugh," I groaned out loud when I realized I hadn't done the groceries yet. After a few minutes of contemplating, I decided to eat out and maybe buy some groceries on my way back.I checked myself in the slanted mirror while brushing my hair. I frowned while staring into my reflection. I looked a little different. Perhaps it's the few pounds I shed.I let my long hair down, thinking I should chop it off one of these days. Then I grabbed a coat before sliding my feet into a pair of shoes and going out of the unit. I went out to find a place to eat.It didn't take long before I found a fast-food restaurant. I ordered a lot. I really wanted to eat here when I was young. Unfortunately, my so-called mother never cared. I was luck

    YVONNEI gasped and jolted upright from bed. Loud, incessant knocks on the door startled me from my deep sleep. I frowned, my hazy mind still processing what was going on.What the hell is happening?I tried to pry my eyes open to check for the time. It's only eight o'clock in the morning. I glanced at the door when the knocking continued. It even got louder.What in the world?! Did they get the wrong unit? I wasn't expecting anybody. Who would visit me this early in the day?"Ugh," I groaned as I pulled myself to get up.I dragged my feet to the door. My whole body is aching, probably from pushing furniture and cleaning almost the whole day yesterday. I could have used a few more hours of sleep if not for the person trying so hard to disturb me.I swear, I could yell at whoever is trying to knock my door down!"Who's there?""Good morning!" a cheery voice greeted me as soon as I pulled the door open. It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on.Selene was standing right out

    YVONNE"Ahh..." I couldn't stop my moans. It's hard to admit it, but I missed this. I missed him. So bad...I clung onto his nape to pull him even closer. I kissed him back with the same intensity. And it seems like he has no plans on stopping soon.And I have no plan to fight him either...I felt Vlad taking steps away from the wall while still carrying me. The next thing I knew, he had already made me sit on top of my wooden desk. One swipe and I heard the papers rustling as they fell onto the floor. It all happened without having to break the kiss we were sharing.He pressed his hips onto mine, making me aware of his heavy arousal. I couldn't help but moan again. He pushed me down the table until my upper body was already lying on its cold surface. My legs are still wrapped around his hips. His kisses moved down to my jaw, then further down to my neck."Uhh!" I moaned when his tongue darted out and started laving on the sensitive skin of

    YVONNETime stood still as I watched him walk towards me. My breathing hitched. I was torn between fleeing and running toward him."You are late," he muttered when he stopped right in front of me.He only said three words. Three words that were enough to turn my world upside down. I found myself staring into his eyes once again and I just knew it.Yesterday may have been a coincidence, but this one is certainly not.Why is he here? I know the shelter is under his foundation but he rarely goes there! I'd been working in the LGC Foundation for a few months, but the only times he had been there was because of me!Was it wrong to assume that he was here for... Me?But why?Did he suddenly realize that he missed me when he saw me yesterday? Did he wake up this morning and finally acknowledge he wanted me back?Tss. Stop dreaming. I quietly told myself."Good morning, Vladimir," I heard Dr. Phil.I took a deep breath before taking a glance at him. I must have completely forgotten about his

    YVONNEI woke up to find Selene cooking breakfast. The mouthwatering scent of whatever she was making woke me up from my dreamless slumber."I'm sorry I rummaged through your kitchen," she said unapologetically."It's fine," I muttered my mind still dazed with sleep. I wanted to stay in bed but unfortunately, I can't.It's Monday and I needed to go to work. I groaned while pushing myself to get up. I barely got any sleep last night. Vladimir occupied my thoughts until the wee hours of the morning. At this rate, he should seriously pay me rent. Damn it."You look like shit," Selene chuckled."Tss, tell me about it," I scoffed."You can use some coffee. Do you want me to make some for you?" she asked."Don't bother. I'll do it," I said.I made a cup for both of us. We ate together in silence. It was the kind of silence that felt welcoming though. "Will you go to the shelter today?" I asked her."Later," she replied. "I have a therapy session with Dr. Gomez."We have a few therapists in

    YVONNEI missed him. God, I missed him.I am so close to jumping on him. My whole body ached for him. I wanted to hug him. Kiss him. But I can't...Riva is just outside, waiting on their table..."If you have nothing else to say, I'd like to leave, please," I told him before I changed my mind.Thankfully, he didn't argue anymore. I have to muster all my strength to force myself to walk away from him. My heart felt like breaking at each step I took.I gasped. My eyes widened when I realized who was in front of me. As if it wasn't torture enough, here comes Riva who must be going to the washroom. This is the first time I'd be seeing her up close.I clenched my jaw to keep a straight face as we walked past each other. I couldn't help but glance at her face.She looked better now than the first time I saw her. Of course, she's with Vladimir now!My heart was beating so fast, I think it could jump out of my ribcage! My knees were buckling when I got back to our table. I drew a long breath,

    VLADIMIRTime seemed to stop as I watched her in slow motion. It's as if the whole world ceased to exist. All I could see was her.What the hell is she doing here?!I mean, I know this place is near the shelter but I never thought I would bump into her, let alone eat in the same restaurant!And why the hell is that man's hands all over her? Why is she letting him touch her?!My fingers tightened around the utensils in my hands as I watched him gently guide her in as if she couldn't walk on her own!What is the meaning of this? I glanced at their table where Dave and the other woman sat. Are they out on a double date? Who is the man she's with? Does Dave know him?My jaw clenched as I watch the asshole pull out a chair for Yvonne. How long has it been since the divorce was finalized? One week? Two weeks?It doesn't matter. The point is, it hasn't been long. But she's already here going out on a date looking so fucking beautiful!Fuck. Wait. Did I just compliment her?I scanned her from

    YVONNEI was beyond shocked. Who would have thought that I would see him here out of all the places we could have bumped into each other?Every day when I go to work, I always imagine what I would do if he suddenly showed up. I created different scenarios inside my head. I was planning how I would react if ever I saw him again.Damn it. Why can't I remember anything now? I swear I've already prepared myself for this moment. But everything seemed to vanish now that he was here. And with Riva nonetheless.I took in a sharp intake of breath. It's none of my business anymore. I shouldn't let myself get affected by their presence. I should not show it at least."Here!" Selene's voice seemed to echo inside the quiet restaurant.My gosh! I suddenly wanted to tape her mouth or something! Can't she behave for once?!"There they are," Dr. Phil said as if I didn't hear Selene loud enough.We went to our table. I sat beside Selene while Dr. Phil took the remaining seat between me and Dave."This

    VLADIMIRI watched Riva as she walked down the stairs. She's wearing a beautiful dress that hugged her body in all the right places. The smooth fabric seemed to move with her in every step.My jaw clenched while staring at her as she came closer. Fuck. Something was amiss, but I tried to brush it off. This night is for her. This is the first time I will take her out for a date after she returned. And it's been more than a month already.I smiled when she stopped in front of me. I held out my arm to her which she happily hooked hers. She looked up and grinned at me excitedly."Where are we going?" she asked."You're still impatient, huh?" I chuckled. She's been asking me that since last night."I already told you it's a surprise," I muttered while looking straight into her eyes."Fine," she smiled. "It doesn't matter anyway. As long as we're together, I don't care even if you take me to the end of the world."Once again, I felt the stupid twisting pain in my chest upon hearing her word

    YVONNE"Well, what do we think?" Selene excitedly asked behind me.We were both looking into my reflection in the mirror. She had just finished doing my hair and make-up. I can do it, but she insisted on it. Looking at the result now, I think I made the right decision to leave it in her hands."I like it," I muttered after staring at my face."What? That's it?" she groaned as if she was in pain. What else does she want me to say?"You look so freaking hot! Can't you see?!" she exclaimed.I think she was exaggerating, but yeah. I look good.She turned my new hairdo into messy waves, which added volume and perfectly framed my face. The barely there makeup surprisingly made me look so...Innocent.I never thought I could use the word innocent to describe me. The black dress only complemented the impeccable look. The top has a modest V-neckline and fitted to my body while the flowy skirt seemed to dance with every movement."Dr. Phil's jaw will drop when he sees you," she gushed. "I can b

    VLADIMIR"Good morning," Riva chirped when I got into the dining room.I woke up alone in the room but I already guessed I'd find her here so I proceeded to get ready for work.She smiled at me before resuming making coffee in the espresso machine."Why are you doing that?" I asked. "You could have just asked our house helpers."I looked at the food laid on the table. There was French toast, bacon, eggs, and hash browns. I frowned."Did you prepare all of this?" I grumpily asked."Don't worry, Agnes helped me with those," she gestured at the food.Agnes?"Where's Cora?" I asked. She's the one who usually cooks for us."She's busy doing the laundry," Riva shrugged.I guess it's alright. Cora stayed with Yvonne in the penthouse. I don't want her to mention anything to Riva. I knew I could trust her to keep her mouth shut, but her tongue might accidentally slip. As much as possible, I don't want Riva to know any details about my marriage with Yvonne.It's enough that she knew about it. S
