"If it's a sin to touch you, then I'll burn just to have you." Nik Velasquez. *** Like the ocean—wild, deep, mysterious, and dangerous, Nik would never allow anyone to control him like an obedient robot. He would break free from anyone who’s trying to have their fingers wrapped around his neck but how can a single woman—with a freaking innocent face— stir emotions in him that he didn’t know existed? Blakely Velasquez, Nik's nominal sister. The perfect daughter, a masterpiece of his controlling parents. Yet this seemingly obedient girl had a forbidden craving for her adoptive brother. A mistake she made six years ago pushed him far away. And when she was about to drop her illusion and marry someone else, the man returned. Just one sight, the feelings she tried to bury started coming back. Blakely hoped not to make any more mistakes but after an accidental one-night stand, could they still repress this forbidden attraction? And what would they have to face when this forbidden relationship was exposed under the sun?
View MoreStan’s POV“Why are you so worked up when talking about Nik Velasquez? Are you threatened with him?” Liam asked and it angered me again. Threatened? Me? What kind of conclusion was that? I will never be threatened with anyone and definitely not with Nik Velasquez. I’m just annoyed because I feel like he’s trying to take Blakely away from me. Blakely is mine. She’s my possession and I will not let anyone take her away from me. If he wants her, then he has to wait until I dump her when I’m finally done with her.“Why would I be threatened?” I threw the question back as I stared at him blankly. I know that he’s a dangerous man, but I am also a dangerous man. Why would he ask me such a question? Is he trying to provoke me?Bradley chuckled. “You’re a devil, Stan. I bet Blakely would be very heartbroken if she found out that you’ve been playing with her all these time. Imagine you talking to her CEO and manipulating him into giving Blakely a hard task only to test if she would ask for your
Nik’s POVI was constantly glancing at Blakely while she’s busy watching the footage. I can see that she’s determined to help me and I couldn’t help but glance at her from time to time. It’s strange. When I saw her earlier wiping her sweat after constantly transferring the flower pots, I felt something inside me. There was something warm and I suddenly thought about her efforts to do this. She was determined to finish the task for her goal and I couldn’t help but admire her braveness and dedication.Mr. Branson has CCTV cameras around his property and I’m certain that the accident was caught in his camera. So I came here to find evidence that Grayson is innocent. And I didn’t know I’d see Blakely here. It annoyed me because it seemed like she was being bullied at work but she’s not doing anything, and just letting them enslave her.Fck! She gets angry when I’m real-talking her but she doesn't get my point. Why did she have to let them boss her around? Does she even have her own decisi
Blakely’s POV“Ha!” I panted and wiped the sweat off of my forehead after I transferred the last flower pot on the side. I massaged my arms and caressed my sweaty neck. I tried to find a hair band to tie my hair but I forgot to bring any. I just frowned and tried to fan myself with my hands.“Blakely!” Nik called me with a strict tone.I immediately ran to him and realized he was now removing the dead plants on the flower pots. He lifted his face at me. He was squatting while I was standing in front of him.“Get a sack. We’ll remove the dead plants now.”I nodded and immediately grabbed a sack. I became comfortable working with him a while ago. He wasn’t scolding me or shouting at me. He would talk calmly and even if I know that he only wants to finish the task on time, I still couldn’t help but admire how he could withstand my presence like a professional even when I know he hates me to death.“I’ll carry it. It’s heavy.” He said after he put all the dead plants in the sack. I didn’t
Blakely’s POVI was welcomed by my colleagues when I returned to work and it’s all thanks to Stan. Although I could feel that their treatment changed, I’m still thankful that I was able to go back to work.“She used her connection to get away from the mess she created.”My eyes squeezed after I heard that while I was sitting on my chair. Yes, they started treating me like that because Stan used his connection to resolve my problem. Yes, it was unfair for them, but I was also treated unjustly when the higher-ups suspended me without a proper investigation of what happened.“Blakley, the supervisor wants to see you.”I looked at the supervisor’s secretary as I nodded. “Okay—”Sighing, I watched her after she turned her back and walked away, ignoring me. I scratched my forehead and pulled myself up. I entered the supervisor’s office. She was sitting on her chair with a formal expression on her face.“Good morning, ma’am…” I greeted causing her to look at me.The heaviness of our argument
Alicia's POV“Shit!” I slammed my fists on the steering wheel because of the traffic jam. I glanced at my wristwatch and groaned when I realized I’m getting late.I need to get to the courthouse in ten minutes or I’d be doomed. I can't disappoint and lose my client because I need the money. I promised to help Blakely and I don't break promises.I hissed, completely losing my control. The only way I could get into the courthouse without getting so late is to leave my car here and run.Annoyed, I maneuvered my car to the roadside. I’ll just call a tow company. I had no other choice.Hugging my bag, I ran in the middle of the long line of cars, horning. I ran for three minutes until I saw what's happening that caused the traffic jam. It was a motorcycle accident, but nothing is really serious.Shaking my head, I continued running. I kept on glancing at my wristwatch until I reached the courthouse eight minutes later. I’ve never been late for work and I don't intend to ruin that habit. I
Nik's POVI shook my head while looking at the woman sleeping on the bed. I’m in my condo and I brought her here after we went to the pharmacy. I couldn't believe it! After she passed out in front of the police station, I brought her to the hospital and that's when we found out that she's pregnant. She’s been stressed out for days. She couldn't sleep properly and I caught her researching how to abort a baby.Thinking about it makes me so angry. She shouldn't have slept with that man if she doesn't like the idea of having a baby. Or she should at least use contraceptives. However, I couldn't really blame her. She's stressed out. The father of her child is currently being pressed down by a powerful family, framing him up for murder. She was about to leave the country, and I think she was trying to escape their relationship, but then, fate didn't want her to leave.I sighed and left her in the guest bedroom. I sat on the couch in the living area and lit a cigarette. My eyes squinted as I
Blakely's POV“You've been distracted.” Stan said while we're entering his penthouse. He was carrying the bags of groceries, and I was still lost in thoughts.I suddenly thought of Serra and the possible reason why Nik wants to abort his child with that woman in the pharmacy. Papa is running for Congress, and I remember how my foster parents always remind us not to create a scandal that can ruin Papa and the family's image. Of course, Nik wouldn't want a scandal to ruin the family especially that Papa is running for Congress and he's about to get engaged with Serra.“Blakely…” Stan held my hand and that's when he finally got my attention.My lips parted as I looked at him and roamed my eyes around in his penthouse. His forehead creased. I could see that he's bothered by the fact that I've been spacing out since earlier. I know that he already noticed it when I exited the pharmacy with a face so horrified, and I’m glad he didn't insist on asking about what happened because I wouldn't w
Blakely’s POVI couldn’t look into Alicia’s eyes now. I feel so embarrassed to borrow money from her and with that amount, I know it would seem like I was the one extorting money from her.She sighed. “It’s okay. That would be no problem. I can lend you 1.5 million dollars.”My lips parted in shock as I looked at her face. “What? That’s too much, Ali. I have a trust fund. I will use that and—”“That’s your trust fund. Besides, I have another case. It’s a very important case and I’ll get paid more than 1.5 million dollars if I win this case.”“What case?”She sighed. “A car race murder. The family was rich and it just happened that my family knows them personally.”I stared at her. “If they’re gonna pay you that much, then it means it’s a case that’s hard to win.”She smiled proudly and caressed my hair. “I’m a badass in court, remember? Trust me, Blakely. You don’t have to worry about that 1.5 million dollars. For now, let’s go out and relax. You looked really stressed out earlier.”I
Blakely's POVSerra’s sharp eyes remained on me for a few while. I don’t understand why she’s glaring at me like that. I tried to look at Mama to know if she’s aware of what Serra was doing but I realized she’s not looking at us. She was texting someone on her phone.“Blakely!” Serra flashed a sweet smile and kissed my cheek. I was dumbfounded. Why did she do that? She just glared at me earlier. And I don't remember being this close to her even before. We greet each other but that's all. We never even stay in the same place long.“How are you, Blakely? We didn’t get to talk much since I was busy with Nik. You know, I miss him so much since it’s been so long since we spent time with each other. But today, it’s girls’ day. No Nik for today, okay?”I stared at her, confused by her attitude. What the hell is she doing right now? She just glared at me earlier. Does it even make sense?She snaked her arm on mine and turned to Mama. “Let's go shopping first, Aunt Nichole. After that, let's g
Blakely’s POVRaise to be a perfect daughter—like a robot. Taught to be prim and proper—like a royal. Grew up being so obedient—like a puppy. The day I entered the house of the Velasquez’s, my fate was settled down. I had to follow every way my foster parents ordered as I wouldn't be alive today without them. I owe them everything.My name is Blakely. I am an orphan. My parents died from a cruel storm when I was 12 years old. And I was almost lifeless when Mr. Velasquez found me. He gave me a second life, a second home, and I swore I'd do everything I could to repay him. But I never expected I would walk into such a dilemma.I had committed an unforgivable sin. I was secretly in love with my foster brother. Nikandreo Velasquez. No one had spotted it. Because Nik and I were never close. Or more accurately, he hatedme.Five years ago, I got drunk on the night of my 18th and somehow sneaked into his room, undressed, and slipped into his sheet. Alcohol took complete control of my brain t...
