I arrived at the venue where Knight told me the event was happening. The valet approached me. I saw Knight standing just outside the car. Dashing with his suit and tie.I handed the keys to the valet before I walked toward Knight’s direction. He welcomed me with his arms snaked around my waist. The luxurious scent that he usually uses embraced my nose. I feel like I’m drunk just by smelling him."Sexy, as always." Knight whispered to my ears as we both walked inside."Thank you, handsome." I smirked and put my hair on my shoulder as we walked inside. He kissed my collarbone, and I giggled.The place was exquisite. I’ve been to a lot of classy places and events before, but for some reason, this one kind of intimidates me. Everything feels authentic, and I’m the only one who’s fake.The retro-like tiles fit the high ceiling that’s filled with gigantic chandeliers that are sure to cost thousands of dollars. Damn, I thought this was just a dinner? Where the hell am I?The group of people w
"Knight, w-where are-"I wasn’t able to continue my words. He grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall. He attacked my lips with harsh kisses. I was absent minded for a while, but then when I thought of our situation, I lashed out of that kiss."Knight, not here." I groaned.I even saw a waiter passing by the alley. I don’t even know that it’s already near the comfort room.His hardened jaw talked to him. He grabbed me by the wrist again and opened the dark colored door, and we got inside. I heard the sound of a lock before he again threw himself at me.Volts of lust travelled all through my body. I wasn’t able to concentrate anymore. My clutch fell by choosing to play with his hair rather than holding it tightly. His hands are casually roaming around my buttocks and my legs.I wanted him so badly, and this was all I could do to pacify this craving. Like a blazing fire, my worries all turned into ashes. I don’t care if somebody might see or hear us here. All I want is him all to
Knight was unconscious the entire time we're in his car. We weren’t able to bid our good bye to his colleagues since Knight’s men helped him and went to his car right away.In the car, all I did was talk to Knight from time to time to see if he was still awake and fine. I convinced him to go to the hospital, but he told me he just needed to go home, and so that’s what we did.Our guards assisted us when we arrived at his penthouse. They accompanied us to the lift. When the lift opened, Lucas’ stunned face welcomed us.He seemed to say something based on how he looked, but he looked too stunned to speak. I bet he held it all to himself, whatever it is that he had to say. And to note, he’s half naked as well."Lucas," I called him.He went to us to help guide Knight. He told the guards that we could manage and they all went back to the lift to leave. We guided Knight to the couch. I sat on the ground so I could level Knight. He really looks so weak at the moment."What happened?" Lucas
--Knight’s POV--I stared intently at Athena while the whole office was silent. Mr. Wilson, or Mr. Peter Davids, had just entered my office for the "meeting" he had scheduled.From my desk, my full attention was on her alone. I could no longer hear the flowery words of his friend, who’s her accomplice in their plans.I do not know how I should feel. Is it possible to be happy and hurt too much at the same time? As far as I'm concerned, I'm not a fool either, so I reached this level of success in life in just a short time in this world. But why, when it comes to her, am I stunned? Why, when it comes to this woman, do I seem ready to prostrate myself just to give her what she wants?"We’re new in this industry. I know approaching you is a blow to the moon, but you can be sure that you can count on my start-up company. " His friend said."And how will my company benefit from yours?""You can be sure that not only will wealth growth happen. This will benefit unfortunate people as well. "
--Athena’s POV--I wasn’t expecting that the downfall of others would be my own downfall as well."How many days are we going to stay there?" I asked on the other line."Three days," he answered."Hmkay.""Pack lightly, we can just buy your clothes there."I hissed. "I know you're rich, but that doesn't make sense if you're wasting your dimes on the simplest things."He laughed. "I'm just suggesting.""Well then, it's not a good idea." I sighed. He just laughed again.I heard someone speak on the other line. I think it was his secretary. I immediately spoke to end the call."You should go back to your work now. I’ll pack my things. ""Alright, see you later.""Hmm," was all I could answer before I ended the call.Our flight will be later at dawn. He says he has an out of town because of this big investor he is courting. He said it was the Judge who owned a private island in the Australian part.I shouldn't have come, but when Peter found out, he suggested that it’d be a good idea to c
Sometimes, people tend to feel sorry for just getting caught doing something bad. But for me, my conscience couldn’t take it anymore. I think no apology could fix the mistakes that I made in this life."I'll teach you how to swim."It was already afternoon when the two of us decided to go out. We really needed that rest because of our early flight.There’s already a yacht waiting at the sand bar near our villa. I was so amazed because I didn’t expect it. I think it was from the judge and his wife."You can swim?" I returned Knight's question."Of course," he smirked as he led me to the yacht's stairs.The whole trip is mesmerizing. I became obsessed with the coral that was so visible due to the clarity of the water.The captain said that we would go to another island because the corals there were better, but I didn’t get it because even here the corals were already breath-taking.When we arrived on the island, I immediately took a lot of pictures. My eyes did not flinch at the beautifu
When we got back to the villa, we were both silent. He didn’t even cast a glance at me until we got to the villa, and so I did the same. For some reason, we were awkward."I’ll just take a bath," I said.He eyed me intently, and he nodded. In the bathroom, all I did was think about the things that had happened today.This is the day where Knight confessed his feelings for me, and I fooled him big time. I cursed myself in the shower a lot of times. I let my tears flow as the water fell on my face at the same time.I almost spent half an hour staying in the bath before I got out. I heard him talking to someone. I could hear it but his voice sounded muffled. It's like he’s careful that I might hear it."It doesn’t matter. Just make sure no other investors know that. "My eyebrows furrowed."I said I don’t fvcking care! Just fvcking send things to me and do what I told you. "I gasped. He sounded mad. I got nervous, so I stepped back and decided to stay inside for a while. I chose not to
He loved the sunset because of me. Every time he sees the sunset, it’ll always remind him of me. Because that’s what I embarked on in his mind. Good things, fantasies, and good words.But I didn’t tell him the truth. I know, deep inside me, even how much I love sunsets, I’ll always hate them too. Because it’ll always remind me of something that’s ending. And I know what it is.That brief time we spent together felt like heaven to me.Those days are some of the happiest days of my life. I couldn’t even remember the last time I was happy. Perhaps I’ve never been that happy before.One of my most happy memories is probably being with my mother, or when our family is still whole and happy.Right now, I have a new list of favorites, and it’s with him. But I know, it’s also coming to an end.On our last night at the resort, after eating dinner with just the two of us, we stayed at the beach, enjoying the peace and quiet under the stars and moon.He hates the moon, or maybe he hates the night.
