"Are you nervous?" That's what Lara asked her husband Joaquin after she fixed his tie. Joaquin sighed and then looked at her lovingly. "Mom, Dad, let's go?" Quin was the youngest of their two sons. "Okay, son," Lara said then looked up at her husband's handsome face again. "Come on and your daughter might think that you don't want to walk her to the altar," she joked to her husband who didn't even answer as she could see the still slightly sad on his face. It was the wedding day of their oldest daughter, Callie. She understands her husband's feelings because Callie is their only daughter. In over twenty years they have been blessed with two sons. Caleb and the youngest, Joaquin Antoni III, who looks just like his grandfather, Joaquin Sr. After the incident at the beach resort, just like Joaquin said, he fixed everything. Everyone who deserves to be punished has been punished. Robert and Selena were there, even the middleman Boying who really set the cottage on fire. Cortez wh
Lara released a deep sigh as she gazed at the tombstone of her departed mother, Edna. It had been over a year since her mother passed away due to a heart ailment, yet even now, she couldn’t fully come to terms with the fact that she was gone. Edna became pregnant at a very young age. According to her mother’s story when she was still alive, she used to work as a waitress in a bar. That’s where she met her father, one of her customers. Lara asked her mother about her father’s name, but her mother replied that with the many patrons she had back then, it was impossible to pinpoint which one of them was her father. Despite it all, she never harbored any resentment towards her mother. She couldn’t find it in her heart to feel that way because the truth was, she loved her mother dearly. Until now, her mother remained the driving force behind all her efforts. At the age of two, her mother was still working at that nightclub. She didn’t leave because she hoped her father would come back for
TWO DAYS LATER... “PAPA?” Lara couldn’t comprehend the sudden rush of intense fear that flooded her as she opened their front door and found her stepfather Rodolfo looking distressed. “Sweetheart, go hide; they might take you!” Rodolfo urgently pushed her into the house and drew her into her room. Lara’s fear deepened at his words. “W-What do you mean? W-Who will take me?” she stammered, her chest heavy with a mix of emotions. “Don’t ask too many questions, just listen to Papa, hurry up!” She had no choice but to obey. She concealed herself in her bedroom, seeking refuge behind an antique wardrobe. Despite her anxiety, she could still hear heated arguments and harsh words being exchanged, directed at her father. “Are you going to pay, or should I just kill you?” a man’s furious voice echoed. With trembling steps, Lara left her hiding spot and cautiously made her way towards the closed door, careful to avoid making any noise on the creaking wooden floor. Peeking through the smal
"Are you nervous, Venus?" the van driver, Delfin, asked Lara as they headed to the party. Delfin, an older man who seemed about the same age as her father, possessed a gentle demeanor that mirrored her Papa's. His kind tone resonated with genuine kindness. Lara nodded, stealing a quick glance at Delfin before turning her attention back to the passing scenery outside the window. "I-I don't know if I can go through with what they'll ask of me," her voice trembled as she spoke, though she held back her tears. Delfin's heavy sigh was audible. "That's for you to decide," he offered, giving her a meaningful look as their eyes met. "What do you mean?" Lara inquired. He simply shrugged. "Did you know that the police apprehended the three men who sold you here? Your father reported it right away," he shared, his gaze still fixed on her. She remained silent thereafter. The truth was she wasn't quite sure what Delfin was implying, but she had plans to escape after this ordeal anyway. Even
"Good morning, sir," the guard greeted Joaquin with a smile at the entrance of the tall building owned by him and his father, Joaquin Antonio, Sr. "Good morning," Joaquin replied, returning the smile. This was a daily routine in his life, starting his mornings in the office and ending them here. "Good morning, sir," Alma, his father's former secretary, greeted him. He now occupied the fifth floor, where his office was located. The Antonio Paper Corporation was the largest paper company in the Philippines. They distributed well-known imported paper brands as well. But their business wasn't limited to paper production. They also handled major brands of writing materials and art supplies, such as popular watercolors used for painting. This company was his father's legacy, and as the only child, he was obliged at an early age to learn the ins and outs of the business to eventually take over its management. He was only five years old when his mother died in a car accident. His father h
"You're always in such a hurry to go home; maybe once in a while in your very busy life, it wouldn't hurt to unwind," Cynthia commented after turning down Lara's offer to join her cousin's birthday celebration. Lara laughed softly and continued to fix her things. "Maybe it's really like this when you have a child. You're always excited to go home because you want to see your baby right away, who you know is eagerly waiting for you to arrive," she explained to Cynthia. "Oh, Lara Athena, you've been like that even before. It's a good thing I love my goddaughter; I have enough reason not to be angry with you anymore," Cynthia said, following her words with a weak laugh. Lara then approached Cynthia at her table and kissed her on the cheek. "Thanks, I have to go. I still need to buy something for my baby girl." "Okay, see you tomorrow," Cynthia said. Time flies so fast. It seemed like the biggest nightmare of her life had just happened. That was when she was forced and taken by three
From a deep sleep, Lara awoke quickly when she heard the bedroom door open and close. "I'm sorry if I woke you up," it was Joaquin who laughed softly. She just nodded then hugged herself. "Won't you let me leave yet?" Lara asked, glancing at the man sitting on the divan at the foot of the bed. That's when she saw the man glance at his wristwatch. "It's dangerous if I let you go now. If it's okay with you, you can spend the night here," he said kindly, then smiled at her. Lara was speechless at what the man said because he was right. It was late at night, and it would not be nice and safe for a woman like her to go out and travel at such a time. "I-It seems quiet outside?" that was what she commented when she noticed that the noise she had heard outside the room was gone. The man nodded. "Yes, wait, maybe you want to eat again. Do you want me to get you some food? I haven't even been able to celebrate my birthday with you yet," he said in a lively tone with a strange touch of sinc
LARA wasn't sure if it was because it was her first kiss, the taste of the wine in Joaquin's mouth, or the beer she drank, but she quickly felt very intoxicated because of the fury of that kiss. She couldn't say when or how, but she was surprised and seemed to come to her senses when she felt her back against the soft bed. Obviously, the man's kiss affected her so deeply. She didn't even know if he was married or had a girlfriend. But at that very moment, it seemed that everything was not important to her. Lara seemed to want to admit to herself that just like Joaquin had told her a while ago, he could get her in such a way that he didn't have to use force, because she herself would ask for more, for something she knew he could still give. "Joaquin," she whispered as her lips dropped to her neck. "Yes?" he questioned in response to her. "Maybe you're married already, don't do this to me just in case," she said. Lara heard the faint laugh that made its way down the man's throat.
"Are you nervous?" That's what Lara asked her husband Joaquin after she fixed his tie. Joaquin sighed and then looked at her lovingly. "Mom, Dad, let's go?" Quin was the youngest of their two sons. "Okay, son," Lara said then looked up at her husband's handsome face again. "Come on and your daughter might think that you don't want to walk her to the altar," she joked to her husband who didn't even answer as she could see the still slightly sad on his face. It was the wedding day of their oldest daughter, Callie. She understands her husband's feelings because Callie is their only daughter. In over twenty years they have been blessed with two sons. Caleb and the youngest, Joaquin Antoni III, who looks just like his grandfather, Joaquin Sr. After the incident at the beach resort, just like Joaquin said, he fixed everything. Everyone who deserves to be punished has been punished. Robert and Selena were there, even the middleman Boying who really set the cottage on fire. Cortez wh
"WOW, Daddy it's so beautiful here!"That's what Callie said cheerfully then ran towards their family's private cottage."We can stay at the beach house, it's just that it's farther from the beach," Joaquin told her then picked up Callie who had tripped several times on the sand because of her running."It's okay here at least until tomorrow. Then the next day we'll stay at the beach house," Lara answered then headed towards their cottage."By the way, where is Nanny Loring?" Lara asked after she opened the cottage door."Already at home preparing food. Wait, where do you want to eat, baby? Here or there in the beach house?” Joaquin asked his daughter."Here," Callie replied.Lara laughed at her daughter's reaction. "Oh, put your daughter down. She's a big girl so she shouldn't be carried around anymore," Lara said to Joaquin."Even if the day came that she gets married, she is still my princess," said Joaquin kissing his daughter.Callie giggled at that and then willingly let her fat
"WHY is that, Robert? Why is your man so slow? Why does that girl still look happy now?" Selena asked Robert angrily the night they met to talk about the favor she was asking for."I also do not know. And one more thing, why are you so eager to take revenge? The woman is already married, isn't she? Maybe you're just being mistaken in your suspicions?" said Robert to her.That's when Selena dropped the wine glass she was holding on the table in annoyance. "You are so annoying. Why don't you just do what I say? I have to get revenge on that girl. I have to get Ramil back!” she insisted."Stop it! You must learn how to wait and don't yell at me!” Robert yells back at her.At that point, Selena sat down and bowed her head crying. She stopped herself from crying, but because of the effect of the alcohol she had already consumed, she failed to do so."Why is it that no man wants to love me?" she said sobbing.At that point, Robert told sat next to her and then hugged her tightly. “I love yo
Lara did not expect Joaquin to refer to their original destination as his home in Baguio. The house where they spent their honeymoon. “Ah so, you really plan to take me here? Why?” she asked smiling and then eagerly traveled her sight to the whole house. Joaquin shrugged his shoulders and then lowered the suitcases he was carrying. "Because when we first came here, I didn't tell you the truth, didn't we?" he replied then hugged her tightly from behind. Lara was thrilled with that gesture so she turned to face her husband. After that, she lovingly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yes. And also, I can still remember what you told me before. That you wish you can give me everything I want?” “Yeah. I told you that because I can't really give you everything since you know something different. Just in case I don't want you to be surprised where I get it all.” Lara nodded and with her eyes glistening that was when she pinched Joaquin’s perfect nose. “You don't know how much I love
Joaquin was able to possess her easily without leaving that place. And she could say that her calm husband whom she was always with whenever the fight between the two of them was just starting, no longer existed those moments.But what right does she have to complain if she asked for it from her husband?"You want this, don't you, huh?" he asked her as he pounded her sex hard and with full force.Lara could hardly breathe properly at that moment. But she is the one who likes it so she knows the same as what Joaquin told her before. She needs to face the consequences of her actions. So that's what she did today. She endures the delicious effects of Joaquin's cruel claim of her."Yes, oh I want this. I want you," she said, clinging tightly to Joaquin's neck and then kissing her husband firmly on the lips.Joaquin quickly responded to her with a passionate kiss then he just continued that style of claiming her. Until he seemed tired and pulled out from inside her his angry readiness.Joa
Her husband's silence at that moment was strange for Lara. And because he said it was a surprise where they were going, she didn't ask anymore.But that was just what surprised her when Joaquin took her to a familiar building. That's why her chest quickly swelled.She remembers that building.It was the hotel where she first gave herself to her husband a few years ago. She couldn't understand and explain how hard her chest was pounding at that moment. But despite everything, she still remained calm and did not ask any questions. Despite the fact that he really wanted to know from her husband what was really going on and why they were there.When they got out of the car, only then did Joaquin speak."Our destination is not really here, sweetheart. We have something important to do, so let's stop by," he told her as they walked towards the reception.Lara didn't come closer and let her husband talk to the receptionist. That's why she didn't hear anything else they talked about.It may h
It was as if a snake had bitten Lara from where she was standing as she stared at the new arrival. She can't be wrong. She knows and is sure that this is the man who took her from Nati to give her to Joaquin. Lara quickly felt an intense chill throughout her body because of that thought. If he recognized her, Joaquin will surely know her secret. It is not impossible for that to happen. Her husband is so smart that he will definitely be able to sew all the events together, especially Callie's great resemblance to him and even more than his late mother. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you," said Patrick who at that moment was staring at her. "It's okay buddy. Come on in and have a seat," said Joaquin to his friend. Patrick immediately obeyed what her husband said. Just a few moments after that, Joaquin formally introduced her to him. "Do you want to eat lunch with us?" Joaquin asked Patrick a few minutes ago since he arrived. That's when Patrick glanced at her and then looked back at Jo
That's exactly what Lara did. She kept staring at Joaquin while his hand and fingers ravage the jewel between her thighs. She put her two hands on her back to prevent herself from lying down. While Joaquin was doing that, she was able to shift her gaze from his eyes to her sex which didn't seem to show even simple forgiveness. "God, it's good! So good! Oooohhhh," Lara muttered as she watched Joaquin once again run his tongue over her delicacy. That's when Joaquin raised his head. And because she got what he meant she quickly bowed to her. And that's when their lips met again. That kiss was only for a moment because Joaquin once again returned to her femininity that his tongue began to pass over. When he seems to be tired of what he does, he then sucks it up like he is eating a snail in coconut milk. "So soft, so delicate," he said afterward. A few moments later, Joaquin finally finished what seemed to be the initial greeting using that method. Because the events that followed we
“OH Lara.”While Lara is busy wooing Joaquin's manhood with her mouth. She kept hearing her husband's seemingly endless mention of her name. Something that she can't deny that she really likes.She knew what Joaquin was feeling at that moment. Because the same thing happens to her whenever she is in this situation. So, what the concentration of her husband was, she did the same.For a few moments, they were both like that. She works because she wants to please Joaquin. Well, she had to admit that her goal was to show that she was learning from him."Oh fuck!" when she probably couldn't stand it anymore, Joaquin pulled her hand, and then he pulled her up. "I'm sorry sweetheart but I need you now," he said kissing her lips afterward.In a quick way. Even though she said she was on top of him, Joaquin was able to unite their bodies. And Lara was in such a state when she felt his steel-like manhood gradually entering her tunnel.“Sonofabitch!” Joaquin cursed again then he shocked her by p
