Chapter 24"Are you planning to get yourself drunk.. again?" I turned to the side upon hearing the deep voice that sounded so familiar to me.My heart rate quickened, and I couldn't contain myself as I quickly downed the three shots of vodka I ordered. The bitterness and warmth registered in my throat and stomach."Kent," I called out to him. He approached me and gently patted my head."What happened?" he asked immediately after sitting beside me. I continued swallowing one after another until I couldn't take it anymore. Before he could see my tears, I kissed him abruptly.I started moving my lips against his, but he didn't kiss me back! What's wrong? Am I a bad kisser? I pulled away from him and stared right into his eyes.He didn't say a word, just gazed back at me. And so did I. Until I couldn't take it anymore, and I broke the silence."I guess, I'm really a bad kisser, which is why Jiro found someone else." Tears flowed continuously. Damn these tears! I laughed bitterly and avert
Chapter 25When Kent invited me to leave the Spade Club, I immediately agreed. I didn't want to stay there anymore; it would only hurt me. Speaking of pain, I unconsciously placed my hand on my chest. I no longer feel any pain.I wonder why? Maybe I've become so numb that my heart no longer feels anything? Or is it because I'm with Kent, and he let me pinch him? The beat of my heart immediately quickened at the thought. I just shook my head and smiled."You seem happy, Wife," Kent said to me, but his attention was still focused on the road. I don't even know why I suddenly feel so happy. I just smiled at him and asked."Where are we going?" He's been driving for a while now."To my place," he gave me a simple answer. I glanced at the road we were taking, and it wasn't the way home. I furrowed my brow."My pad," he added. I must have noticed the furrow on my brow. I nodded in response, but my eyes widened. What did he say? He has a pad?! Why am I only finding out now?!"I just bought i
Chapter 26He held my hands and let me touch his abs. I felt the heat in my body intensify. I couldn't take it anymore! I wanted Kent to take me! But how do I tell him? He was kissing me endlessly, and I could deal with it forever.Until he stopped kissing me. So, is that it? It's too short-lived! I was about to complain when I saw what he did next. He pulled off his pants along with his boxers.I swallowed hard at the sight before me. He smiled at me and kissed my lips again."Loving the view, Wife?" He said, wrapping my face in his warmth. My God! I was blushing in front of him! And he caught me red-handed."You look hotter when you blush, Wife.""Eish! Kent! Stop teasing me!" I pretended to be annoyed in my response, which made him laugh. From his abs, he guided my hands to a lower part of his body.I closed my eyes tightly as I felt the middle of it. It's hot and hard and big. I swallowed hard again. Now, I wonder how this will fit inside me. It's very big and proud. I immediately
Chapter 27Just as Kent said, he took me home after we rested. It's already two AM, and the lights inside our house are off. Thankfully, there's a key hidden in the flower pot by the front door, courtesy of Mommy, so I didn't have any trouble.I went straight to my room and lay down. I didn't want to take a shower, even though Kent mentioned it earlier. I don't know why, but I felt like if I showered, Kent's kisses and touches would be washed away from my body, and I didn't want that! Weird, right?I closed my eyes all of a sudden. I felt so tired and... alone. I wish Kent was here. But he's not at his house right now; he went back to his condo."You're the first person I brought here."I smiled again, remembering what Kent said after we made love. I'm the first person he brought to his place, and something happened between us. I feel so happy and proud.Minutes passed, or maybe even hours, but I still couldn't fall asleep! It's frustrating! I've counted imaginary sheep, even sang the
Chapter 28"Kylie, my child. Are you awake? I'll open your door now." That made me panic! What to do?! What to do?! Kent was still on top of me, starting to move again!"K-Kent.." I whispered to him as I tried to push him away. He just groaned."K-Kent, please." He stopped moving inside me and looked at me. "Please." He sighed and slowly withdrew from me, rolling beside me.My heart raced even faster as I glanced at the doorknob of my room, which was slowly turning. What should I do? What should I do?I quickly got up from the bed and picked up my clothes from the floor, not caring that I put them on haphazardly, while Kent watched me intently. I stuffed his T-shirt and pants under my bed, but wait... Where are his boxers? Geez! Why did I think of that now?! I kicked his boxers under my bed. I hope Mommy doesn't find them!Kent stood up and I grabbed his hand, hoping he would get dressed, but instead, I ended up burying my face in his chest. Damn! His abs were so tempting!"Kent!" I e
Chapter 29"...and this is Knight," Kent introduced his six friends to me, whose names I couldn't immediately memorize, but I remembered their faces. How could I not? They were all handsome. I couldn't help but gasp at Knight's next action. He took my hand and kissed the back of it."Nice to meet you, my Lady," he said, causing me to blush. He even had an English accent. These were the kind of guys Samantha liked, the ones with accents. No wonder she had a crush on Hunter.Before I could even respond, Kent quickly withdrew my hand from Knight's grasp and pulled me closer to him, hugging me tightly around the waist."Kent," I called out to him."Psh. I wasn't even finished kissing her hand!" Knight frustratedly exclaimed. Kent didn't say anything in response but shot Knight a glare, causing Knight to raise both hands in surrender."She's mine," Kent declared, tightening his hold on me. "Bro, this is the first time I've seen you this possessive," one of his friends commented."Maybe he
Chapter 30Kent and I were now riding in Kent's Dodge Viper, and we were heading somewhere. "Hubby, where are we going?" I turned to him, my gaze fixed on the passing scenery. We had been driving for almost three hours now."You'll know when we get there, Wife," he replied, his eyes focused on the road. I couldn't see much except for rice fields and the increasing heat of the weather.Kent stopped the car at a large gate with a golden letter K made of steel. What did it stand for? I was about to ask him when he got out and opened the gate. He drove the car inside the compound and got out again to close the gate.I followed suit and stepped out, greeted by the fresh provincial air. I looked around, and my eyes landed on the mango trees in Kent's backyard, with leaves falling from them, especially as the wind blew.There were plenty of mangoes, some still unripe, while others had ripened naturally on the tree. My gaze shifted to Kent's house, which was entirely made of wood. It was a tw
Chapter 31"Hubby, say ah." I told Kent as I was about to feed him the marshmallow, but I ended up laughing when he frowned at me. He looks so cute when he frowns."Wow, you're so handsome!" I said to him after I let go of the marshmallow I was holding and pinched both of his cheeks."Ouch! Ouch! Wife! D*mn! S-stop it!" He struggled to speak as I kept pinching his cheeks. I couldn't help but laugh. When Kent curses, he looks hot in my eyes.He held both of my hands and slowly removed them from his cheeks, and the next thing I knew, he was on top of me. He's so quick and strong. It feels like just a moment ago we were facing each other, and now he's on top of me and I'm trapped.I pouted and tried to free myself, but I couldn't, he's a big guy. What chance do I have? I looked up at the sky, and I immediately saw the pattern of Virgo in the sky."Now, I'll never eat marshmallow ever again," Kent said weakly, but I could hear him."Marshmallows are so delicious," I said with a laugh. I t
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
