LOGINHis lips crept up to the back of my ear and his arms gradually tightened around me.
Even though the music was loud, my heart and breath were beating faster as if someone was chasing me. I moaned because of his soft lips that relentlessly kissed the sensitive part of my body. “M-Mister Suarez,” I muttered softly. He distanced himself from me. His arms that were wrapped around my body let go. He held my hand and immediately raised our hands to hold each other. He spins me around. I just closed my eyes while my heart calmed down due to the strength and speed of the heartbeat. My feet are getting lost in passing, they can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the instrumental music. My dancing skills suddenly disappeared. It's like my feet are both left. I regret letting out a low growl earlier. I think he is just playing with me or should I say, this man was teasing me. He was unreadable. Just like he wears a mask, his true personality is also hidden. Who are you, Mister Suarez? All people know about him is that he is the richest businessman in the country and even beyond. The beat of the music was about to end, but before the music stopped completely, he pulled me closer to him. I moved a little while his hand rested on my back. God, what did my parents do to me? If only I had known that everything would end up like this, I would not have gone to school. That's why they are strict with me because of their plan. Every move I make, food I eat and way of speaking are watched by my parents. Now, I understand why they are doing that. This is the reason. They want me to grow up beautiful, smart, sexy and nice because they will set my marriage for this man. “You're such a good dancer, Miss Wills.” He brought me to our table. And then he let go of my hand when I was already sitting. The slowness of time sucks. I want the time I spent together with Eldifonso to be over. Because I just feel so conscious when I'm with him. Admittedly, I like the way he kissed the side of my neck and the back of my ear. But it seems like he did that just to hang me and make me excited for him. I didn't wait more than an hour for him to give the signal that we were going to part ways tonight. It's brilliant though. “Miss Wills, I don't want you to be late tomorrow. I will send my men to fetch you and bring you to the venue of our meeting.” “W-What?” “You are beautiful. But a bit deaf,” he said mischievously. “I said that I will have my men pick you up tomorrow. Aren't we going to talk about our marriage? You forget so quickly,” he said. He looked into my eyes, before he looked at the door. He clapped twice. After his applause two men entered. The men stood next to our table. “Prepare the car for Miss Wills,” he said to the two. “Yes, master,” the two responded at the same time. His men feared him. Even if he orders them to do simple things, they always seem to be confused and afraid of making mistakes. “But I have a car. My driver is waiting outside,” I told him. “I do not agree that you will go home without my staff to take you.” I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. It's a good thing because he didn't seem to notice. “Our men are trustworthy,” I said. “I don't care about them. It's my duty to keep you safe until you are home. Look, it's almost midnight,” he persisted as he looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. He stood up and turned his back on me. I studied his features. But I ended up asking myself who he really was. And what is his personality behind his mask and being mysterious? His phone rang and he immediately answered it. “Alright, wait there and let Martin pick her up.” I quickly stood up then I lifted my gown a little so I wouldn't step on the end of it. When the door opened I saw the Martin he was referring to standing on the side. I was about to reach the door when he ran and caught my hand. My gown was piled on top of the tiles when I turned to him. His eyes locked on mine. What is this man's problem? Why did he stop me? “Y-Yes?” He pulled me closer to him. His eyes were talking to me, but I didn't know what he wanted to say. “Don't you think that you forgot something,” he said. Oh damn! I really don't know what he was trying to say. I can now smell the aroma of his breath, it smells like steak but it was still good and mesmerizing. He wet his lips from the bottom before the top. I think I get his words. Do I really have to do that before leaving him? Am I really going to kiss him? Should I? “Miss Wills, what now?” Alright, I'll do it. I also need to get used to kissing him. Maybe it's not bad that I kiss my future husband. I tiptoed, I asked for support from his arms soI clung tightly on them. When our faces were only a few inches away from each other, I closed my eyes. Suddenly I could feel how a magical song was played in my head. Because of the sensation caused by that kiss, my nail was buried in his skin even though there was a cloth between us. My knees shook as he pulled me closer to him until there was no more space between us. I can feel the heat of his body while we are kissing each other passionately. His soft lips were caressed on mine gently and it was giving me pleasure. I let go of heavy sighs in the middle of our kisses. I can't think straight now. My mind was stolen by the heavenly kiss we were sharing. I don't know if that was enough. But I pulled my own body before where this kissing will lead us to. Perhaps, it's not the right place to surrender my virginity. Definitely, it is not the right time for that. Even though he is my future husband, I still have to give control of everything. “Are we good now? I guess I don't have anything forgotten.” I chased my own breath. “Right, Mister Suarez?” I asked. His lips curved. He turned his body and got something from the table. My jaw dropped when I saw him holding my wallet. “This is what you forgot, Miss Wills.” I was dumbfounded. “Holy shit,” I murmured in a low voice before I took my wallet from him. “Don't be embarrassed, Miss Wills. I liked that kiss,” he said with a naughty voice. “I hate you,” I said, cursing his name inside my head. With embarrassment I felt, I turned my back and walked quickly. He could have said that I left my wallet. Why was there a need to be like that?! Wasn't it easy to say that I forgot my wallet on the table?!All artworks have been bid on. Nobody got the artworks, except Signor Eldifonso. I elbowed him gently earlier so that he would just give the other items to Val. But he doesn't want to give up and he doesn't give a shit about my warning. I wouldn't be surprised, Signor Eldifonso's pride is so high that he won't allow the artworks to go to anyone. The charity event was over, but Signor Eldifonso didn't want the two of us to leave the venue We were at a VVIP table, two tables away from where Val and Madame Mcladel were. I glanced that way, but Val's eyes seemed to avoid seeing me. "You've been staring at that whore's direction for a while, Eli. What does that mean? Maybe you're falling for her again. You have to stop your heart from beating up her name.""That's not how I feel, Signor Eldifonso. I was just surprised to see her earlier, and she even raised higher bids against you.""Well, in the end, I still prevailed. That whore didn't get even a piece of artwork. She deserves somethin
-Eldifonso Madrigal-In the middle of my conversation with Signor Eldifonso, I caught sight of a familiar face at the entrance. It was as if I saw Valerie. My smile disappeared, and I looked in every corner of the event center, but I couldn't see that familiar face again. "Eli, why are you like that? Is there something wrong? Do you feel bad?" Signor asked me. I shook my head and took a deep breath. "It's nothing, Signor Eldifonso. I just got a sudden headache. I need to go to the restroom.""Take your time. Come back here right away because the highlights of the event are about to start, okay?""I won't be there long, Signor. I just need a second."I left the venue and went to the restroom.My eyes are directly on my reflection in the mirror. I turned on the faucet and washed myself using my hands. I dried my face with tissues which I grabbed from the tissue holder. I shook my head, trying to remove the scene I have made on my own. "I can't be wrong. But if I really saw Val, why
I can't find myself this time, but I know this too will pass and I will be whole again, whether I'm with Eli or not. I have to do this to show him that I can do it even without him. I was able to live without him, actually I became the happiest person alive then. I can be more than that, especially with my son. Foval watched me as I put on my corporate attire. Auntie and I are going to a charity event today, Auntie said Eli is going there too. I took a deep breath as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. "Mommy, why are you so dressed up? What do you have? Where are you going?""Son, Mommy is going to work at your Grandma's big company. While Mommy is at work, the maid will be with you." I smiled even though I knew Foval would not agree. "Be a good boy, okay?""Mommy, why are you going to work? What if Daddy suddenly comes while you're gone?""Tell your Daddy that he will wait for me.""He also told me to watch over you. How can I watch over you if you're not here?" Foval thought
Day by day, I was watching my son. I have a guilty feeling every time I wake up in the morning and before I go to sleep at night. I feel heavier now every time Foval asks about his father. I know that Eli has already returned to Texas, but we were not the first he went to as he promised. According to Auntie, she became Signor Eldifonso's secretary. I can't blame him if he swallows his pride and sides with the person he considers his enemy. Maybe this is the only choice he has, but I feel bad for my son and for myself as well. If this is going to happen, and this is what he wants to do, I hope he didn't cheat on me in the first place. If he had been real in the very first place, I would never have felt this way."Mommy, why did Daddy take so long to come back here? I want to see him and hug him tightly. I want to sleep between you two.""Son..." I held his small hand and looked at it. "D-Daddy is facing war now. He has to defeat the bad guys before he can return to us. Let's just wait
-Valerie Wills- I haven't received any news. I don't even know what happened to Eli. What's even more annoying is that I'm always nervous, as if something bad has happened. I hope I am just overthinking! Because I couldn't bear it if I found out from this place, several miles away from where he was that something bad had happened to him. My cold palm felt my chest, my heart was beating fast, I couldn't even think properly and calmly. "Foval!" My son was surprised when I yelled at him out of concern. Because he was playing inside the bed and he fell on the bed. I went to him and helped him up. "Does your body hurt? Your head, isn't it hurt, Son?" "Mommy, I'm a big boy! It's not just the first time I was falling on the floor. I've fallen off the bed several times when Daddy and I were playing boxing. It happens." "Your father isn't here, Foval. So it's normal for me to be surprised and worried about you." "Yeah, and I hope he will arrive soon. When will he be around, M
His laugh echoed in the house. As expected, he made his men lower their guns after he heard my words.Lee watched me as I slowly stood up from my seat. Lee's eyes were full of questions, maybe he was surprised that I decided to go back to Signor Eldifonso after all. "Sir?""Lee, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, you'll understand this at the right time.""Why are you doing this?"I stopped walking, looking back at Lee. I closed my eyes for a moment. When I opened my eyes I stepped towards Lee. I grabbed his shoulder and squeezed it. Our eyes locked on each other. He still doesn't understand me, and I don't force everything on him either. Even if I was the one wearing his shoes right now, I wouldn't understand what was happening."I still have money left in my account. Find the family of our men who died and we will give them even a small amount.""Sir? What about your family? You're going to leave them?! Don't go with Signor Eldifonso, Sir. Let's fight for your freedom," he insiste
