Exelle
I knew deep down that all of this was just an act, a façade carefully constructed to deceive. Yet, in this very moment, being with him made me question what I truly desired. His touch, his kisses, and every intimate gesture ignited a longing within me. It was a dangerous dance on the precipice of temptation, for I was well aware that we were only friends, and that was the limit to our connection.
"No," I whispered, my voice barely audible. It should have been restricted, confined within the boundaries we set, but something within me rebelled against such limitations.
The acting, though seemingly excessive, had taken on a life of its own. My body refused to release the grip on these stolen moments. Stepping outside the established boundaries and allowing him to trespass upon forbidden territory were two distinct actions, and yet, the lines between us seemed to blur, erasing any semblance of constraint as we
Exelle As I sat in my office, the weight of recent events heavy on my mind, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Nothing happened, or so I told myself. But deep down, I knew there was more than just an act between Lex and me. Sam, my ever-observant friend, could see through my facade. "You can't fool me, Xielle," she declared, her gaze fixed on me. "There's something going on between the two of you. You can't deceive me." I couldn't deny it any longer; Sam suspected that Lex and I had crossed a line, but the truth was, nothing had truly happened. Defeated, I admitted, "Okay, fine. It's close to that situation, but we only kissed." I hoped that my confession would appease Sam's growing suspicion. "Kissed? Just kissed?" Sam's voice was filled with disbelief and reproach. "You expect me to believe that you only kissed on your bed until you got tired? Seriously, Xielle, you're too weak! You're getting older, and you shouldn't have played hard to get with Alexis." Her words stu
Exelle I found myself staring at Hans, who stood tall in the center of the room we occupied. Words failed to escape my lips, causing his smile to linger. His gaze bore into me, intensifying my nervousness and evoking a sense of fear. Silently, I locked eyes with him, while Sam did the same. "What the hell are you doing here, Mr. Alvez?" Sam asked Hans firmly, but his response came in the form of a laugh. He laughed as if he had won a game. A demon reveling in victory. A game? It felt more like I was the one orchestrating the play, so why should he be the one declared the winner? I wouldn't allow that. "Ms. Exelle Kim," Hans began, briefly bowing before continuing, "I mean, wife. Now that I've witnessed your reaction to those articles and seen you living with your best friend, Samara, in our former house, perhaps I cannot be mistaken in believing that you are indeed my wife, Xiellenna." I know, right. Seeing is believing. I felt caught red-handed, as if I were a criminal myself
ExelleJules had left some time ago, and I found myself back at work in the comfort of my home office. It was where I felt most at ease, being able to tackle my tasks within the familiar walls of my own house. Besides, there was really no other suitable place for me to set up my work in the Philippines, apart from this very residence.Earlier, I had extended an invitation to Jules, hoping she would join me and Samara for dinner. However, she kindly declined, explaining that she already had plans for a dinner date with Milo. It brought a smile to my face, knowing that they had found someone who brought happiness and completion to their lives.After diligently reading through stacks of papers and signing my name on numerous documents, I finally rose from the plush recliner chair that had provided me solace. I stepped out of my office and into the hallway, its emptiness surrounding me. Yet, there was none of the eerie a
Exelle.."The materials were all of good quality, as well as the workers themselves. It's no wonder the building was almost halfway complete," Mrs. Holland chuckled, her eyes twinkling with satisfaction."You're right, Mrs. Holland. The architectural design may not be grand, but it has a unique appeal. Looking at it, one can't help but find it pleasing to the eye," Mr. Mendrano commented, his gaze scanning the unfinished structure before us. "I can't wait to see the complete picture once the project is finished."The other board members seemed equally pleased, their expressions mirroring Mrs. Holland's sentiment towards the project. It was evident that they were all eagerly looking forward to the finished product of the hotel.Of course, I had deliberately chosen to collaborate with the number one construction company known worldwide. EXiellenne Royale was fortunate

The stinging pain on my cheek seemed to diminish as I caught sight of the person's face. They were glaring at me with intense anger.To be honest, I should have been the one looking angry, but my anger and annoyance towards them were suddenly overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of disgust."And don't get me wrong but, I don't really like it.I playfully teased her before flashing a smile filled with animosity and hidden in my eyes were madness that's driving my head crazy to hit her back. Her face re
Exelle . . I parked the car in front of 7/11 and swiftly stepped out, heading towards the store to buy some alcohol. It had slipped my mind that we had run out of it at home, so I decided to make a temporary stop at the convenience store. Besides, my house was just a stone's throw away, making it a quick and easy trip. After making the purchase, I emerged from the convenience store, standing in front of the glass door of 7/11. As I inspected the drinks in my hand, something caught my attention. I turned my gaze towards a parked car not far from the gate of my house. Well, that's rather odd. I hadn't noticed that car earlier. Curiosity piqued, I peered at the car several meters away from me, as well as from the entrance of my home. A sudden chill coursed through me with the evening breeze, colder than before. I glanced at my wristwatch, noting the time. "Exactly eight in the evening. That explains it," I mumbled to myself, nodding in acknowledgment before striding purposefully
Exelle . . "I want you to be back, as my wife again, Xiellenna. I'm sorry. I truly am sorry. I know I've been a damn bastard, hurting you and leaving you behind. But right now, I genuinely want you back. I want to start a new life with you. I want everything to revolve around you, both tomorrow and in the future. I want to be the husband you always desired, Xiellenna. A real husband. The one you truly deserve," he proclaimed passionately. Meanwhile, I remained silent, ensnared in his embrace. My face pressed against his chest, I had no intention of responding. How could this be? Why had the winds suddenly shifted? It felt as if the breeze had carried away a tiny fragment of myself. Tears welled up once again, as I replayed his words in my mind. Mentally, I hissed at the audacity of it all. He was truly unbelievable. "Sorry? Sorry for nearly destroying me? Sorr
Exelle...Whatever it is that they want will never happen!I mentally yell and shift my gaze to the car window where I am seated. From here, behind the tinted glass, I can clearly see the figures of two people engaged in a lively conversation inside Starbucks.Hans and Rylie.Tsk.I thought they broke up after the news between me and Hans spread like fire, but what is this sight before me now? And they are positioned by the window where they are clearly visible to many people. Or is it all an act? They certainly look like a sweet couple reuniting, but even from my vantage point, I can still sense something fishy.It's disgusting and sickening.With this thought in mind, the taste of my coffee suddenly changes as I notice a paparazzi secretly capturing photos of the two. And take note, it seems like that bitch, Rylie, is aware of the papar
