Chapter 8I started to sweat as he spoke, and I swallowed repeatedly. No! No! No! He will not do this to me! I will not let him ruin my relationship with Jiro. But at the back of my mind, it keeps on telling me that it was already ruined.. ruined by Jiro himself."You won't tell him anything," I firmly told him as I slowly approached him and looked deep into his eyes. "Why are you doing this? You're not involved in our relationship, so back off."He smirked. "Nah-uh. That was before, before something happened to us, but now I have the right to butt in. He slept last night, and I liked it, and I want more from you." My eyes widened at his words."I am taken! I don't even like you, and I'll never love you. I belong to Jiro, and I am forever his," I firmly told him. "I never told you that I like you either, and don't worry, I feel the same. I'll never be in love with you. I just want pleasure from you." I glared at him, but I quickly distanced myself from him."Roll your eyes again at me
Chapter 9"What the hell do you want from me?!" I entered the Saint Catherine Genetics Chapel, fuming with anger, and I couldn't help but not get worked up seeing Kent. He was kneeling on one of the church pews, with his hands folded in prayer."Kylie, we're inside God's home. Control your anger." He turned to face me with a wide smile. He looked at his watch and grinned. "You're one minute early." He laughed. "I didn't know you could walk that fast just to be here with me."He approached me. "I didn't know you wanted to be with me this much." He leaned down and kissed the corner of my lips, leaving me shocked and unsure of what to do."What the h-" I couldn't finish my sentence because he covered my mouth. "Show some respect, we're inside the Chapel." I gave him a stern look and tapped his hand that was covering my mouth."Kent, stop this. Stop blackmailing me! You won't get anything from me. Why don't you just forget about what happened between us?" I told him firmly, looking at him
Chapter 10"Hmmm.. K-Kent.. Umm.. Kent, your hand." I was supposed to scold him, but it didn't sound like scolding as I moaned. I couldn't help but massage the hand that was on my chest, feeling the pressure of his touch.Oops. Let's not get too graphic. We were just kissing while he was on top of me, but his hand was really wandering. "Ayy!" I shrieked when he spread my legs apart with his legs and pressed himself against me.I couldn't help but blush as I felt Jr.'s reaction. Thankfully, only my bathroom was lit, and there was just a dim light entering my bed, so he couldn't see me blushing because he'd tease me again.He paused the kissing, and we both had our eyes closed. He didn't move his face away from mine, and I could feel every movement of his lips against mine."This is not the first time I touched this.." he said softly, and then he gently squeezed both of my breasts. I closed my eyes as I felt my femininity gradually becoming wet. Gosh! He's turning me on!"K-Kent.." It w
Chapter 11"What do you want to do first? Eat or see a movie?" Kent asked me when we arrived at a mall, which took us about an hour and a half to get to. I checked my watch and it was already 11:55 AM, almost lunchtime."Let's watch a movie first and then buy some snacks." He nodded in agreement. If we ate now, it would probably take us until lunchtime, and the fast food areas would be crowded.He started walking, and because he was so tall compared to me, I struggled to keep up. As he walked, I couldn't help but glance at his sexy back. Haha! Sexy back, really? But seriously, he looked so hot walking like that.He was wearing a simple white t-shirt and black skinny pants, along with Nike Jordan shoes. He looked so attractive, and I couldn't help but notice the girls we passed by, who would point at him and cover their mouths, giggling. It annoyed me, and I couldn't help but frown. I wanted to tell them that I was with him, but I didn't want to start a fight or be labeled as conceited
Chapter 12"What's wrong?" Kent innocently asked me as we entered the cinema. Fortunately, the lights were dim, so he didn't see my annoyed expression. It's hard because he might apply his self-rule of "you're your eyes on me and I'll kiss you.""Ouch!" I immediately stumbled when I didn't notice that the floor of the cinema had small steps. "Kylie??" I didn't wait for Kent's hand because I knew he wouldn't help me. I stood up on my own and held onto the railing near the wall. My knee was hurting. Huhu!"Ma'am, are you alright?" the usher-porter asked me, raising his flashlight so we could see each other. "Uhmm.. y-yes," I replied, even though my knee was still throbbing. Eish! It's embarrassing that I made a scene."Are you sure you're okay?" Kent looked up when he asked. "Let's just find seats!" I said irritably to him. The usher-porter offered to assist us, and thankfully, I didn't want to feel any more embarrassed."You don't look okay to me, you seemed pissed off. What's wrong?"
Chapter 13The movie was over, but I didn't understand any part of it. I couldn't even recall an exciting or sad scene. I looked around and noticed that most of the girls coming out of the cinema were crying or wiping tears. I had hoped I would feel the same way because it was a tribute to Paul Walker, whom I really liked. He was even my crush. I sighed, "Wife is better than Babe, Kylie." I still couldn't forget what Kent had said."Babe" was Jiro's nickname for me, while Kent (although I wasn't sure) called me "wife." I immediately felt my heart beating faster and my cheeks turning red.God, this can't be happening! Why did I agree to Kent's request to be in a relationship with him even though I'm still with Jiro? Now, I'm starting to doubt whether I truly love Jiro or not. Wait... Why is this even crossing my mind?Gosh! What's happening to me? What happened to my usual statement that I have no life without Jiro? I shook my head. This is wrong! This is completely wrong! I love Jiro,
Chapter 14"Mommy, where are we going?" I asked my mom as we entered the car and Daddy started driving."We're going to Grandnny and Grandpa's house." Mom smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile too as excitement ran through me."Yeah! Hey! I miss my Grandnny and Grandpa! I can't wait to see them!" Until we arrived at Rancho, where Grandnny and Grandpa live. The metal gate with the large letters "Rancho Rivera" slowly opened.So when Daddy's car stopped, I quickly got out and ran inside the mansion to hug Grandnny and Grandpa. But I was puzzled when I saw numerous pink decorations for a birthday party."Whose birthday is it today?" I asked myself. I am nine years old, and as far as I remember, my birthday is on September thirteenth, and it's currently April thirteenth.They only prepared this kind of birthday party for me. Mommy said they couldn't have this kind of party anymore because they are big girls and boys, like Papa, Grandnny, and Grandpa.None of my friends are here, so
Chapter 15We are currently in my parents' jewelry shop, and Daddy is looking for a necklace. A one-of-a-kind, a perfect one that is unmatched. This jewelry shop is one of the best and most expensive jewelry shops in Asia, with a branch in Baguio as well. It's the only brand in the entire Philippines."How about this?" Daddy asked Mommy, and I discreetly looked to see how much that necklace cost. I frowned when I saw that it was worth five million pesos."Sir, we only have five pieces of that necklace. One is in Singapore, California, Dubai, Canada, and this is the other one." Daddy nodded and said it was perfect. It's Aria's twenty-second birthday, and she will receive the most expensive gift this coming Saturday.I rolled my eyes and excused myself to wait outside. I sat on a bench in the parking lot, watching the passing cars. Then a familiar Mustang stopped.It parked near an expensive bakery on Session Road, and the driver got out. My heart couldn't stop beating fast when I saw h
EndingI didn't know what to say to Aiden. I was happy and hurting at the same time. Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone! What's going to happen now? How am I going to go to school? How will I manage my daily routine with a broken left hand? And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital? Have you seen your hand? Why is it in a cast? Why didn't Manang Ameli
"Kendall, break up with Jacobo. I swear, if you choose me over him, you won't regret a single thing. I am single and not married. I am all yours, you have no rival." But I guess Kendall is really a stubborn girl."Mom, I'm sure they don't see each other anymore. Dad must be busy with his work, and it's only six PM. Wait for him until seven. I'll call him for you, so stop worrying. Alright?" I told Mommy. Fortunately, she stopped crying and agreed to what I said. Sigh.Mommy is getting more stressed because of Kendall and Dad, and I really-really need to do something. The doctor said that it's bad for Mom's health to get stressed, and she should avoid it, but she can't help it because she always gets paranoid when Dad comes home late.I need to keep Kendall occupied, and if it means I have to be with her most of the time, then so be it. I know it sounds weird, but being with her feels so good. Damn. I think it's getting serious. I should hate her, right? She's Dad's mistress. She's a f
"I don't know what I am missing for her to dislike me. I am good looking, and I am sure of that! I am also rich, and when I have my Dad's company, I'll be wealthier than her. I can give her everything that she wants and needs, no matter what it is—no matter how expensive, I will buy it for her, as long as she chooses me and doesn't run away just to be with Dad."Then, I gulped down the Jack Daniels I ordered. Instead of putting it in a shot glass, I drank it straight from the bottle. I want to get drunk to forget about Kendall. It's so f ucking weird. There's a painful feeling in my chest whenever I think about Kendall leaving me!"Dude, don't tell me you're attracted to your Dad's woman?" Liam suddenly asked me. I stopped drinking and met his gaze.Seriously?! I am attracted to Kendall? Hell no! I'm feeling like this because... uh—right! My ego is being stepped on! I'm hotter than Dad, for sure. I mean, look at me and Dad; I'm more masculine than him! It's just annoying because Kenda
Urgh! I didn't know Kendall could also get on my nerves. How dare she say I have HIV, STDs, and other things just because I have multiple partners. Psh. It's not my fault that girls are pursuing me, okay?"You're just wasting your bras," I said to her as I stared at her chest. I smirked when I saw her cheeks turn red.She even crossed her arms over her chest, and I couldn't help but wickedly smile. Feeling uncomfortable? Well, you started it."You're only an A. Why wear a bra when you could go without one? Besides, you're flat-chested." And I burst out laughing.She called me a pervert, but seriously, she has to do her job now. I'm getting annoyed with the women who keep coming to the office, claiming that I impregnated them. Damn it! I'm a boy scout!Am I always attracting trouble? I can't understand why they're pinning their unborn children on me. I'm sure I'm not the only guy they've been with!But damn it! Kendall is really stubborn! It's hard to persuade her. If I don't threaten
"I love you too, Hon. Yes, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't worry, I told my wife that I have a dinner meeting, so she's not expecting me to be home later." Daddy nodded on the other end of the line."Alright. I can't wait to see you later. I love you. I'll hang up now." Daddy pocketed his phone. I don't know what to say. Seriously, I am f*cking speechless at the moment. Mom is right! Dad has a mistress!"Son?" Daddy called me. I composed myself as I faced him and pretended that I just arrived. "Have you been waiting long?" he asked. I immediately shook my head. I don't want him to know that I just found out about his dirty little secret."I just came. I'm here for this." I showed him the folder I was holding. He returned to his table and sat down. I approached him and casually placed the folder on his table. He furrowed his brows at my action."Sorry, it slipped from my hand," I said and shrugged. "Why didn't you just send it to your secretary?" he asked me. I couldn't help but wonder wh
I quickly returned to my house to find out who arrived. Maybe it was one of Sydney or Kourtney's boyfriends? I wondered to myself. How sweet of them to come all the way to my house. Sigh.I couldn't help but feel envious again. I'm sure one of them is overjoyed right now because her beloved came to visit her, and of course, she's loved in return. True love, unlike what Ero and I had. I was the only one who truly loved.I entered the house and was surprised to see two tall men in suits and ties, looking like bodyguards.Wow, one of Kourtney or Sydney's boyfriends even has bodyguards. Is he that wealthy? Or is there someone who wants to harm him?"Kourt... Syd, who's our visitor?" I shouted from the entrance. It seemed like these bodyguards didn't care. They didn't even react when I shouted to call Kourtney.Kourtney and Sydney quickly came out of the kitchen. Kourtney had a glass of juice while Sydney carried a tray of snacks. Their reactions were incomprehensible. They seemed tense, a
Kourtney paused in picking up my clothes and asked if Ero and I had a fight, to which I quickly shook my head."So what does this mean? You just... want to run away?" Sydney asked, still unsure. I nodded and was about to react when I raised my left hand to explain to them."Girls, I am such a b*tch for doing this, but you have to understand that I just fell in love." They raised their eyebrows at my statement. I knew they didn't fully grasp what I was saying, but thankfully, they remained silent. It would be harder to explain if they bombarded me with questions before I finished explaining."We all know that I was left behind. My mom and dad left me to be with their own families, and their spouses didn't want me. Luckily, you were there, so even though I didn't have my mom and dad, I wasn't that sad because I had you, until that day when I met Jacobo.""Who is Jacobo?" Sydney asked."Jacobo is my boyfriend... I meant, my ex-boyfriend.""What? How come we didn't know about him? And all
"Mom just called and she wants me back at work tomorrow morning." Oh right, we've been overstaying here at the beach. Initially, we planned to stay until Sunday, but we extended it for two more days and one night because we got married here."We can go back now." I said to him as I caressed his back. I heard him sigh and then he faced me, gave me a peck, and touched our foreheads together."But..." He didn't continue what he was about to say, he avoided eye contact and pouted. I furrowed my brows. What's wrong? Why is my cute husband acting all cute? Woo! I can't help but feel kilig when I call him my husband.Until now, I still can't believe that Ero and I are married. I held both of his cheeks and faced him towards me."But what?" I asked him. He averted his gaze again, but I quickly caught his eyes. What's up with him? Oh my, this man! He's so big but acts so cute! Hmp!"We haven't made love yet." He whispered softly, but it was enough for me to hear, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, fine. Let's get serious then. What kind of assurance is it?" I asked him."Kendall, I want to keep you forever. Don't worry, I'll make you fall in love with me soonest. The kind of love that you can't even think of leaving me. The kind of love that will last even when death comes and keeps us apart. I want to prove to you that forever really exists."I instinctively covered my mouth with both hands and tears began to flow uncontrollably as Ero suddenly knelt in front of me, and the singer approached with a rose in hand.The guy who was playing the instrument earlier was holding a diamond ring this time. The diamond on it was so big that my eyes widened in surprise. I'm not exaggerating, but it's really huge."E-Ero, what if we get mugged? The diamond is so big," I said, trying to hold back my laughter, but he glared at me, and I immediately made a peace sign. I don't want Ero to devour me alive. Hehe."Oh, fine, let's get serious. What kind of assurance is it?" I asked him."Kend
