Slipping on a white tank top and black jean trouser, I grabbed my hair brush from the desk in front of the huge glass mirror which covered the left side of the closet, then brushed my hair smoothly. Applying a strawberry scented oil on it, I reached a hair tie, packed my full hair in a fist, and tied the band around it.
"Perfect," I muttered amid a sigh, then stretched my hand to reach the lip gloss. After adding it, I smacked my lips against each other, grabbed my purse, checking myself in the mirror, again.
I contemplated on whether or not to add lipstick instead, and to wear a contact lens. But noticing how pretty I looked, I brushed off that thought. My lips were pink enough, and my amber colored eyes gleamed like a contact lens. Being natural was just fine for the evening.
Inhaling, I twirled to the door, still being hesitant on whether or not to leave this mansion. For some reason, I had a crazy f
"Um, you're nuts?" Lauretta broke the silence. I wanted to signal to her that we needed to run, but she didn't seem like she was gonna listen. She always acted like some kind of psycho.I laughed anxiously, grabbed her wrist, then moved backwards a little. "Oh, dude. It seems like you're mistaking us for someone else. Maybe you should go and—""Nope," he insisted. "I'm not. I know you. And yeah, I want you guys to satisfy me. If you don't do that, I'll—""Shut the fuck up!" Lauretta cut him off. I quivered, but she only seemed bold. This wasn't the time for her to be bold. This guy was freaking huge! To kill it all, the place was damn silent. What if he… attacked us or something?"Yo, baby!" He lowered his brows into a frown, straightening his shoulder. Shit, this guy could kill us. He just looked like… a wrestler. Aha! Just like Roman Reigns. The same body shape and a
I had to do something. Something that wasn't known. Maybe Laury and I needed to act like some kind of Kung Fu fighters. Or yeah, like those Mafia people. It could help. As for me, I was good at punching. I could be emotionally weak, but that didn't mean I was physically weak as well. Also, Lauretta knew how to handle animals. Threatening the dog and fighting this idiot could be a solution. But how would I fight this huge thing? I was too short for damn sake. My height was always a problem for me, right from my school days. "Laury." I inhaled, bit my lower lip, raised my shoulder, and squinted my eyes at her. "Let's do this. Life's always hard. Take care of the dog, and I'll take care of this gross thing."She glimpsed at the huge guy, and shook her head. "You're sure you can do this?" Worry mirrored through her face. "This one seems so dangerous.""Yeah." I sighed, let out a shaky laugh, actually doubting myself. At least, someone had to save us. I would do it. "Alright then." She n
I didn't refrain from staring at them, although it hurt my heart so much. My stamina was almost crashing, but I tried as hard as possible to remain strong. In fact, my racing heart moved to my forehead. The pang in my body teased me fervently."I hope all of these gifts would make you satisfy me in bed. I haven't been with any lady in months," he announced, and that made the bitch giggle. How could anyone feel so comfortable with someone else's husband?He dropped another kiss on her neck, and held her waist tighter. Oh my goodness. This was so gross!Again, she giggled, tapped his arm, still blushing like the idiot she was. "Stop! Let's go to our hotel room first. You're making me feel shy."He let out a throaty laugh, kissed her on the cheek. "You had better not be shy when we get to bed. I'm craving for…" he moved his eyes from her neck to her tigh, then back to her neck. "I'm c
I moved my gaze from him. I was more than embarrassed at this point. I also started to feel like I should have listened to Lauretta when she asked me to leave his shirt. This was so unfair. What crime did I commit, that he was punishing me this severely? "What will you gain from this?" I whispered, almost certain that he didn't hear me. "Nothing," he replied. Oh, he heard me. Raising my neck to catch his gaze again, I strained my eyes, shocked by his prattle. "Nothing?" I had to confirm that I heard him right. He nodded his head without hesitating. "Huh.""But I'm human too. Can't you see that I have emotions? Why would you even think of embarrassing me this much?" My pain was only worsening. "Go home now." All he could do was to order me around. "We'll continue our conversation there. Right now, I hope this has taught you enough lessons. I always tell you to listen to me. I don't joke with my words.""I won't leave until you—""Baby." The moronic, irritating, crazy, asshole—Ok.
Nervous, I just sat on the hard metal bench in the jail I was, hoping that something would be done soon. It was past midnight, but Sebastian's mom was around. I didn't know how she got to know I was here, but all I knew was that she was out there with Sebastian, crying.I stared at the handcuff on my hand. To be honest, it felt so unreal. I wouldn't have ever imagined that I'd be arrested someday. This was so sad. I was starting to doubt if my love for Sebas was an obsession. I didn't want to be obsessed with him. I just wanted love. Just love.My neck involuntarily flicked to the strong iron bar jail gate, when it sounded. I took a deep breath, more fearful. It was the police opening the gate. I hoped he wasn't planning to take me to court now."Mrs. Martinez," the old looking man called. His voice was rough and tired, and that honestly made me anxious. In fact, every damn thing in here, made me nervou
Mom patted my shoulder, heaved a deep sigh, smiling weakly. Since the whole ruckus had happened the night before, she hadn't been happy. She claimed that she caused all of it by asking me to get married to her son. Although I tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault, she still continued to blame herself."I'll leave now." She lowered her head, pursed her lips, her face so weary that it seemed like she would cry again. "Once I get home, I'll call you. And please, do not hesitate to report Sebastian to me."I raised her jaw, smiling at her. "No problem ma. I'm fine now.""Are you sure you'll be fine if I leave now?" Her eyebrows linked to each other, her beautiful face holding only fear and sadness.I nodded. "Yes. It's eight already. I don't want you to get home late. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I promise you. I also won't let Sebastian treat me badly. I'm still… slightly angry
Lauretta chewed hard on her pancake, staring blankly at me."What?" My eyebrow rose. She made me confused. "You need something?"She shook her head. "Hm-hm," and slurped her food further.Well, she always acted crazy, so I didn't expect less. Grabbing my phone, I dialed my mom's number. It rang for a while, and then, she answered it."Hello sweetie," she greeted first. Worry was all I could sense in her voice. I was pretty sure she'd have cried when she saw the video where I was fighting that bitch. The video went viral. But thankfully, Sebastian was rich. He ensured that the video was disabled from every part of the social media."Hi Mom." I tried as much as possible to ensure I sounded cool and energized."Ady darling." Her breath was hard and shaky over the phone. "I need to see you anytime soon. I've missed my daughter so muc
He was groggy, but close to being sober. When I saw him take that alcohol, I knew that he wanted to get drunk intentionally. We weren't so close, but I knew certain things about him.He hardly drank alcohol. But I kind of noticed that he took it whenever he was way frustrated or tired. I could also distinguish when he was frustrated, and when he was only teasing me because he felt like. Whenever he got frustrated, I wouldn't dare to speak to him. I'd just be calm at all costs, ignoring everything insults he'd throw at me.Staring at his half naked body, my body drowned in attractiveness towards him. His hair was wet, which made its strands slip to his forehead. Water dropped from his jaw, to his chest, then to his rock abs. Muscular, he was. Hot, he was as well. Honestly, any lady could get stimulated by only staring at his body.I looked away, embarrassed that my body crinkled at the sight of him. I didn't like th
Ah! Finally! Thanks to God! Phew, it's now completed. A very big thanks to everrrrryone who read and supported this. It really, really means a lot to me! This is my third book on Goodnovel, and I'm glad it's not completed. It took me a month plus to write this. Cool, right? Hehe! Thanks again! For the typos or grammar error, I'm sorry for that. It's still under editing. So, I'll be starting a new book really really really soon. Title: Chasing his (Synopsis) For the mission, for his ego, for his love, for it all, he had to get her. Renee was smart, gentle, beautiful, cool, loved by everyone. Working at the club one night, as usual, she bumped into the hot dude. The most famous guy on campus. All she wanted to do was to serve him one drink, but he wanted something more. Daily, she began to see him. He began to chase her. He wanted her. Just her. Renee on the other hand, had a lot to think about. The survival of her little family was borne on her. But, wouldn't she still have
Months later…"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. Standing up from the well furnished chair, I heaved a deep sigh, smiled from ear to ear. "I'm so happy to finally be a partner of this company. Thanks for accepting my proposal."Mr. Roland, the CEO of one of the most reputable companies in New York, stood up from his seat. Stretching his hand for a handshake, he returned my smile. "Congratulations. We hope to get great results from you," he said."I'll try my best." I took his hand. After our friendly handshake, I grabbed my purse from the glass that separated Mr. Roland and I, made my way out of his office, then out of the building.Closing my eyes, I inhaled the beautiful air of that afternoon, then smiled on opening them. Today wasn't my birthday alone, it was also my lucky day. First, the doctor had confirmed I was pregnant. And second, the company I wanted to wo
Mom stared blankly at Sebastian and I. All I hoped was for her to accept this relationship. Well, there was a probability she'd accept it. She always said God forgives us for our sins, so we should learn to forgive others.Her eyes moved to Sebastian, then to me. "How did this get to happen?" I couldn't grasp the particular emotion on her face. She widened her mouth, looked at me. "How did he even get here? Am I the only one who finds this weird?""Ma, I used to think that too." I glimpsed at Sebastian, took his hand in mine, and smiled. "But I think fate purposely sent him to me. Whatever's meant for you, is meant for you."She sighed. "Honey, are you sure this is fine? I mean, I don't want you to… you know, have a heartbreak again."I could feel Sebastian wasn't comfortable with this conversation, so I just chuckled. "It'll be fine. I trust him now. And besides, we're so in love now. O
Ethan stared at me like he was confused. He blinked four times, dropped his mouth. He wanted to speak, but it was as if something cut his throat."Seriously?!" He finally spoke, shock in his tone. "How did you guys break up? Wh-What happened?""I was stupid again," I mumbled. "I said I didn't trust him. So, can you please help me talk to him? Claire's not willing to help me do that.""Oh." He scratched the back of his neck, stood up from the couch. "It's quite late. I don't know if he's asleep.""Ah, oh!" I gasped, leaped from my seat, and looked so worried. "Did he drink alcohol?"He pressed his lips against each other, shook his head no."Good." I sighed in relief. Staring back at him, I batted my eyelashes, pulled a childish pout. "Go, please. He always listens to you, huh?"He chuckled. "Just go by yourself. And besides,"
Claire_____"Right now…" Sebastian scoffed, bit his lips. "I'd rather stay with a pig, than come close to you. You're gross."After stating that to the damn mother-fucking Lauretta lady, he walked away, leaving her to gape. She muttered some things, glared at herself, rolled up her fingers into a fist.Angered, I scorned silently, and sauntered to her. "Hey, bitcho."Hearing my voice, she turned to me. With lowered brows, she gazed at me. "What? Who the heck are you?" She spat out."Claire Martinez." A smirk grew on my lips. I was flustered, but I just had to keep calm before I'd end up killing her."Oh. You're his sister?" She flared her nostrils, curved her ugly arms around her chest."Yes, bitch. His sister, and his helper. I—""You don't even look like the sister of tha
I tightened my fist, glared at Lauretta, felt the need to hit her. When she had taken a glimpse sideways, I knew she had been up to something. She had probably seen Adrienne coming, so she had decided to pick up and act. But what was she going to gain from this?Tugging her arm, I yanked her close. "Did you do this on purpose?""Maybe." Her lips flipped up into a sneer."Why?" My voice was low, rough and weak. I was scared. So scared. Adrienne had said she “knew it”. What exactly did she know? Had she been doubting me? Had she— It was better to not think about that right now.She licked her lips, slowly raised her fingers to caress my jaw line. "Did I say anything wrong, huh? I'm truly tired of having to wait for you. This is the second time I've come to Florida. Why can't you see I want you? You've stopped giving me money, but that's not just it. I want you."&nb
He stared hard. Reading his eyes, I saw hurt in them. Not just hurt, disappointment as well. It was as if he wasn't expecting this at all."What?" That left his lips in a whisper.I swallowed, and nodded. "That's it, Dave. Stop trying to get close to me. You like me, but I don't like you. Sebastian isn't the same person he used to be, so I decided to give him a chance. Stop causing a problem in my life by trying to get close. I don't want to feel sad for rejecting you. I… don't like you as a lover," I uttered.For a moment, his gaze was more intense. It felt like he didn't want to stop staring at all. What the heck was he looking at? The brown color of my eyes?His throat moved, up and down, then he stepped backwards. Lowering his head, his fingers rolled up into a fist. "I'm sorry for having to get close to you.""It's not a problem. You—"&
Finally, she removed the test result from the envelope. For a moment, she stared at it comprehensively, and then, she sighed. "Oh, God," she muttered, dropping her hand on her chest. It was as if she was shocked, as well, it was as if she was relieved. What was the result?"Ma?" I tapped her shoulder. "What does it say?"Again, she sighed, stood up, and turned around to look at me. "It's negative." There was a smile on her face. I wanted to smile back at her, but I just couldn't. If I did, it would hurt Dave. Dave had once told me how important his locket was. He had said it made him feel like he wasn't so lonely as he truly was. He had said he never saw his mother, but she was close to his heart. So, now that this had to happen, wouldn't he be hurt that the woman he thought was his mom, wasn't? Ah, shit, why him?He stood up from his seat, looking quite hurt. Mom probably noticed how sad he looked, so she cupped his hands in hers. "Hey, dear." She smiled warmly at him. "I know h
Adrienne_______Seeing how worried Dave seemed, I kind of felt disturbed. He looked tense and pale. In fact, his head was turning red. What could possibly be wrong with him?"Dave? Are you fine?" I asked again, but still, there was no reply from him. All he did was stare intently at mom. His mouth was dropped as well, his eyes broadly open. I saw tears in his eyes, and that worried me more."Adrienne," Mom called. She probably noticed him too.I turned to her, furrowed my eyebrows. "Yes, ma?""Is your friend okay?" I saw some kind of disturbance in her eyes.I sighed, turned to him. Taking a step closer, I tapped his arm, which made him flinch. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?""A-Ady," he stuttered, finally looking at me. "A-are you sure she's your mom? Are you…" he swallowed, not saying any
