Zachary was nowhere to be found when I woke up. I knew he wouldn't stay with me every day, but I didn't think that I wouldn't see his face the next morning either. Anyway, I'm just thankful for that.I stretched for a moment and was stunned to see the kitten go inside one of the paper bags placed on the floor. I frowned. Everyone's brand is familiar to me, so I know what clothes, underwear, and other personal items they contain. I turned to the nightstand when something vibrated there and saw a smart phone. I immediately took it and pressed the message notification that opened on the screen.You can use this phone temporarily. Message me if you need anything else, and please drink your milk.I let out a sigh and closed Zachary's message thread. I dialed Aireen's number and called while checking the contents of the paper bags one by one, looking for something to wear today. Less than a few seconds after the line rang, my friend answered it."Atasha?" she greeted.I hummed softly in res
I couldn't follow what's happening. The veterinarian took care of Angel quickly when we arrived. He asked me some questions that I don't even know how I was able to answer. I was lost. My attention was only focused on Angel, while those around her were checking on her.I feel my tears that never stop falling. My hands were shaking, and my chest was hurting from the force of the beating. If Zachary hadn't been by my side, I might have fallen to the floor a long time ago."Everything will be okay."I don't know how many times he has whispered that. As much as I wanted to believe, I couldn't. Not because I don't want Angel to be well, but because I am terrified. Seeing her fight for her life broke my heart. Although she was new in my life, she still held a significant amount of importance for me, and I became attached to her.A few minutes later, Zachary and I were sitting on the sofa. Angel is now undergoing an operation because the doctor found out that the kitten's poop had hardened i
I stared at him, then slowly licked my lower lip. "I don't know whether to laugh or be annoyed by your stupidity, Zachary," I stated and stepped back."Is what I did really hurt your ego that much, Atasha?" he asked, the frustration in his eyes faded.What? Ego?I scoffed. "Is it really my ego that is being stepped on here? Who is chasing after my baby because he knows he will have a hard time impregnating his fiancee?" My eyes scanned him from head to toe, definitely telling him that I was disgusted and pissed. "You, Zachary? Can't your pride take it anymore to swallow everything just to get what you want? Are you slowly going crazy?" I chuckled mockingly.His jaw tightened quickly. I know I hit him with my words. The expression on his face was clear now."Aren't we just the same? Aren't you also desperate for revenge because I will marry your sister? You ruined my name, you ruined our marriage, and you ruined your father's image. Your ego ate you up so much that you were able to des
I'm not sure how long it was before I realized I had slept off; I didn't even notice it until a gentle touch on my hair roused me from my nap. I purred and opened my eyes gradually. I was a little taken aback when Zachary's face emerged in front of me."Good morning," he said softly, although his demeanor was still strong due to his rugged features.My forehead furrowed when I caught a whiff of smoke. I ignored him and roamed my eyes, searching for that smell, but I found none. My attention went to him again when he got up from the bed."I have already prepared your grilled chicken intestines," he said.I didn't say a word. My eyes only focused on his cheek when I saw something black there. Later, my mouth fell open when he lifted the hem of his shirt and wiped it on his face—perhaps he noticed my stare. His deflated and rather muscular stomach, which still sweats from time to time, exposed itself to me. I looked away and involuntarily took a gulp."I'm not hungry anymore," I said, an
For the majority of the day, Zachary didn't talk to me. He continued to ignore me, but he did manage to make me some food. Nanay Victoria even caught on to that and kept asking both of us. Zachary remained silent, so I simply stated that I was feeling unwell.It's already noon, and like always, I am here in my room. I feel like I've gained weight in the past few days because I've only been eating and resting. I also call Aireen from time to time to say hello and ask her about my wonderful family. So far, everything is going according to plan.I looked up at the door when there was a knock. "Atasha? Hija, are you awake?" It was Aunt Victoria's voice.I immediately got up and sat down. "Yes. Come in."The door opened softly, and she gave me a smile when our eyes met. "Am I bothering you?" she asked, curious."Not really. I'm just putting the kitten to sleep."She smiled again and then walked inside. "Well, well, that cat is lucky. She is loved," she said in the tone of their words. "How
I couldn't look at or even smile at other guests, while Zachary could barely wipe the smile off his face while talking to them. His hand remained on my back even though he occasionally moved to take the glass on the table. He was drinking with the people, and I don't know if he was drunk or just high."Do you want something?" he asked.I sat up because his head almost nuzzled into my neck when he whispered that. I saw the suppressed smile of the elders in front of us, so I looked down again to hide the blush on my cheeks. I simply moved away, but quickly, he pulled me back to his side. He would just sit me on his lap if necessary."Are you drunk?" I hissed, teeth gritting.I just finished eating. An hour has passed since the guests and the bride and groom danced. I did not participate in the event. Apart from the fact that I was embarrassed to show them because of the scene with Zachary, he also did not let me out of his sight.Zachary chuckled lowly, and for the fvcking nth time, he
The bedsheet was almost tangled because of my firm grip. I was grunting and panting as I didn't know where to tilt my head every time Zachary's tongue explored my labia. His piercing didn't even escape my senses; it seemed like he deliberately made me feel it.Well, I asked for it; now I need to bear the consequences."Hmmngh!"I whimpered and arched my back when his skilled tongue stroked my cl-toris. He was also biting and sucking it from time to time, making me shiver in ecstasy. My hands unintentionally flew to his hair when he started tongue-fvcking me. At this time, I'm not sure if I should tighten or loosen my thighs, but before I could make a decision, he lifted them over his shoulders, parting them widely."Zach!" I breathlessly said his name when I felt one of his fingers enter me.My lips parted. I don't know where to focus my attention—his tongue twisting and sucking my clitoris or his finger triggering the sensitive part inside me. Either way, it takes away my ability to
Zachary seemed like a mystery to me throughout the following weeks. He's more attentive and careful around me. He looked like he was under a curse, and I was the one who cast it. He did all I asked and looked for without complaining. Well, he used to do that, but this time he doesn't seem to care, even if I torture him. One time, I found him secretly ransacking our room; he seemed to be looking for something that I couldn't guess. In short, he's acting quite oddly."We're going to the farm today. Do you like to come?" Zachary asked while carrying a tray of food in his hand.I looked up at him because I was sitting on the floor while playing with Angel. It was only six in the morning, but he had already taken a shower. Up to this day, I still can't get used to it when I see him in a jacket that isn't branded or looks new. He placed the tray on the bedside table before sitting on the edge of the bed. He tried to call Angel, but I quickly picked up the kitten and glared at him."Don't to
