Blakely’s POVI couldn’t move as I felt his intimidating presence behind me. He was closed and he whispered those words right in my ear, sending sensations that made me shiver. The warmth coming from his mouth and body is making me so immobile and I can’t believe how he affects me like this even after everything that happened.No! I don’t wanna see his face. I won’t look. I won’t give him the satisfaction to see the horror in my face. However, being so attracted to Nik, Rachel smiled sweetly and greeted him. “I’m sorry about my friends, Nik—”“We’re just curious as to why you kept changing women, Nik.” Alicia intervened, trying to save my face.I had no choice. I pulled myself up and faced Nik whose eyes were on mine. He was looking at me with a sarcastic expression on his face.My breathing instantly became rugged after I met his eyes. He looked smoking hot and it immediately affected me. The first three buttons of his white long sleeves were open. I can clearly see the collarbone on
Blakely’s POVNik checked the window, and touched the twisted curtain. He looked outside and then slightly shook the window pane before he slowly closed it. I saw him sighed and shook his head.“What's wrong?” I asked worriedly and walked towards him.He faced me and his eyes immediately landed on my feet. His forehead creased. He didn't answer and just walked past me, so I checked the window, wanting to see what he saw and I realized the lock was broken.I jumped in shock when something fell on the floor beside me. Nik looked at me with one brow shot up. I looked down, and realized he brought my slippers.I immediately slipped my feet in the soft material of the slippers before I hugged myself again when the doorbell suddenly rang.“Are you expecting someone?”“I called the police.”He nodded and looked at my body. Irritation filled his eyes as his jaw ticked. “Were you planning to talk to them almost naked? Change into something decent.”I gasped and immediately rushed to my bedroom
Nik's POVMy teeth gritted as I slammed the door of Blakely's apartment. My grip on my phone tightened as I answered the call.[Nik, where are you? The race is about to begin.]I tilted my head side by side and pressed the elevator button. “On my way.”Anger ignited inside me again because of Blakely. Her innocence about things that she is supposed to know is making me so damn angry. I was not in the mood until I arrived at the race event and the competition started. My grip on the steering wheel was so tight and I barely let go of the gas as I drove the car like a madman.The people watching and cheering meant nothing. Even after I won the race, I didn't feel the satisfaction of the triumph because all I could think about was what happened earlier.I laughed inside my head as I remembered our argument earlier. I would love to torment her more until she's already crying blood while kneeling in front of me.“Is something wrong?” Wade, a good friend, asked when I stepped out of the car
Blakely's POVNik's humiliation has shaken my whole system. From the moment he walked out of my door until the rise of the beautiful sun, his spiteful words lingered in my mind like a haunted dream. His nasty temper never changed. For years, his rage towards me only intensified. I wanted to forget and let it all pass, but every spicy word he threw at me burnt me to the depths of my soul.It hurts to witness the wrath of the person you painfully love. Not to mention it's one-sided.I have long accepted the fact that he will never see me as a valuable person in his life as much as I value him as the son of the Velasquez's and the son of the people who gave me the best life. However, my heart still churns inside me painfully whenever he looks at me with rage and hatred. And I can't live like this forever.[Hello, Blakely? Is there something wrong? Why did you call?]Early in the morning, I called Stan. All to accept his offer of having an open relationship. I would rather be married to h
Stan’s POVIrritation replaced my desire to own her tonight all because of her stupid resistance. I never planned this night, and I almost slipped out of control because of her lovely face.I hissed and balled my fists after I closed the door of my penthouse. She fcking resisted me and it made me so fcking angry. I was tempted to throw her on the bed and fck her mercilessly, but I stopped myself because it will only complicate things. Damn! Why does she have to be a freaking boring good girl? I’ve been wanting to devour that fckable body eversince the day I laid my eyes on her. Those curves I’ve been wanting to caress. Those lips I’ve been wanting to fck. And damn those delectable ass. Her breasts weren’t big, but it didn’t matter because she has a body that every man would dream to manhandle.Ah! I would've tore that silk from her body and ate her pussy out if only she didn't resist. The taste of her plump, red lips still lingered in my mouth and my desire to spit in her mouth while
Blakely's POVI couldn't sleep. I keep on rolling on the couch, unable to sleep even a wink. After my call with Stan, I don't know why my heart kept on twitching and something complicated was happening. There's something wrong, and I know it's all about choosing Stan. I did choose him. When I agreed to his request about having an open relationship, I chose him. But it felt wrong. He tried to touch me earlier, yes, he stopped when I stopped him. When he saw my reluctance, he didn't hesitate to move away and give me space. He even told me it's okay, but something feels off. It's not only about my guilt anymore. It's about us. He went to his mistress right after I resisted him. He wanted sex, I couldn't give him. So he went to whoever his mistress was to ease his heat.This is ridiculous. I started feeling his betrayal after I heard the woman's voice. We aren't married yet, but it's already making me feel sick. I agreed, but why does it feel like I only compelled myself to agree to his t
Blakely's POVI looked at him with lifeless eyes as he towered me like a dominating predator, sucking my strength, devouring me like a delicious snack in the middle of a strange forest, under the supervision of a powerful god who gave his permission to punish me with slow death.I swallowed the lump in my throat, not wanting to show any sign of defeat even if I felt so defeated right now. I don't wanna fight with him because it's draining.He tapped the box and looked at me with sarcasm dancing in his eyes. A mocking smile never leaving his sensual lips. “Or does he have a kink and you’re trying to force yourself to learn his thing, so you can please her. That’s what you’re at, right? Pleasing everyone.”I squeezed my eyes closed after the sharp words he threw at me pinched my heart stupid heart again. He was so close that his breath, smells like a mixture of mint and cigarette, fanned my face. It’s ridiculous to search for hope in our ill-fated relationship all because I wanted to ac
Blakely's POVSeeing Stan here with a woman is already bothering me. They looked so happy together, and it seems like they've been hanging out for quite a while now. I could force myself to just ignore the sudden surge of betrayal but the fact that Nik is also here, and that he could see everything, it is different. I felt small and there was a part of me that felt ashamed of the situation.“Blakely, I…didn't know you'd be here.” Stan said to me after he calmed down. He was glancing at Nik who's standing beside me, unmoving but with a grim aura surrounding him. He turned to his woman and whispered something. She walked away looking at me with annoyance.Stan walked towards after the woman disappeared from out sight. He smiled and landed a soft kiss on my cheek. That made me feel insulted. I couldn't understand how he took everything in like it was just nothing. I caught him with his woman. He told her to leave. And then he kissed my cheek like everything is just normal.“Have you eate
Blakely’s POVMama was combing my now short hair while I was sitting in front of the mirror, and she’s behind me. Years ago, she would always look at me with strictness, but these past few days and week, I always found her looking at me with nothing but gentleness. She’s changed a lot. She no longer gives a damn about the people who might say something about our family. She was even almost sued for pulling her old friend’s hair after she heard the woman badmouthing me. She was so angry at them, so angry for me.I smiled when Mama looked at me after combing my hair. Tonight, my friends will pick me up for my bridal shower. I actually declined because I don’t wanna leave Nik and Blair’s side, but Alicia insisted, saying I should enjoy my last night of being single before I tie myself to Nik. I know she was just teasing Nik, but my future husband, being the hot-heated Nikandreo Velasquez, almost threw Alicia out of the house that day.“You are so beautiful…”I smiled at Mama. “Do you wan
Nik's POVNever in my wildest dreams did I think that my simple irritation for my foster sister doesn't mean I hate her, but because her beauty attracts me. When my father brought her home, I was hurt because I thought my father cheated on my mother, but I was wrong. My father was in love with Blakely's mother, but they didn't do anything that could ruin their own marriages. They were friends. They were also foster siblings.How absurd! People think history will repeat itself. That I will fall in love with Blakely, and would put our family in shame. I wanted to prove to them that it will never happen to us. That no matter what happens, our family will remain intact. However, I was wrong when I thought I would never fall in love.Blakely… She's a goddess! She's so beautiful. So kind. So selfless. So smart. So hard to not notice. She is definitely a head-turner. She's not perfect, but I know there's something in her that anyone can't ignore. Something that even that evil person was draw
Blakely's POVI was panting so hard when Nik finally let go of my lips. He stared into my eyes intensely while also panting like me. His eyes were staring so gently, and I felt like he could see my naked soul right now. He wasn't saying anything, and it's as if our hearts understand each other without any explanations.His thumb gently caressed my cheeks as he pressed his lips together. I could still feel the fast beating of his heart against my palm on his chest. He was still holding my hand, and I couldn't take it off of his chest just how much I don't want to take my eyes off of him.“You're here…” He whispered painfully. “I thought…I’m dreaming again.”I swallowed hard. “Have you been…dreaming?”“I've been…waiting for you…”Tears welled in the corner of my eyes. “I’m sorry for coming back late.”He shook his head. “Oh, baby! You don't know what I could give to see you again even if it takes a thousand years.”I chuckled as tears completely rolled down my cheeks. “You just know how
Blakely's POV“L-Lucas…”“I will not imprison you in guilt, and set aside my dreams for you. I've been wanting to work with the Velasquez's, and I admit you paved the way for me…” Lucas faced me again, and I saw how devastated he is right now. His eyes were vulnerable as he looked into mine, trying so hard to hold back tears.My lips trembled. “Y-You deserve all your successes.”“I have loved you with all my heart, Blakely. I loved you unconditionally, and I became a fool for a short period of time. I can't say I’d stop loving you because I know it won't be easy, but know that from now on, my love for you will remain unconditional.”Tears rolled down my cheeks as I was completely lost for words. I couldn't understand how this good man had to fall in love with me, only to get hurt like this. If only he loved someone else…“Be happy, Blakely… That's all I ask of you. Follow your heart, and stop being guilty for wanting to be happy.”I sobbed as I nodded. “Thank you… Thank you for everyt
Blakely's POVI arrived early because I wanted to get here first, but I was shocked when I realized I wasn't the one who came here early. Inside the coffee shop, a man sitting alone was waiting. He was staring at the glass of water in front of him, and he looked problematic.The calm beating of my heart started changing while watching him. I know my feelings for him weren't more than friends, but I couldn't help but feel hurt while looking at him. He's always been good to me, and I don't know how I’ll tell him about my plans today.Swallowing hard, I walked in the coffee shop, and slowly closed the distance between us. I was behind him, but I feel like he already knew about my arrival.I cleared my throat, and spoke. “You're early…”He lifted his face, and his eyes met with mine. “I tried not to come here early, thinking of trying to keep you least of my priority, but I guess it will not be easy for me.”
Blakely's POVMy short conversation with Mama made me feel so much better. The simple sorry. The simple thank you. The simple hug. All those simple things took all the pain I’m feeling, and it felt so good. My heart felt so light and happy.“I knew it was you from the start.” Mama was caressing my hair. It wasn't the same as before. It's not long, and I know how much she loved my long hair. “You have the same emotion in your eyes when you first saw me when you're a little girl.”I looked up at her, and smiled. “How did I look, Mama?”She smiled. “You looked at me with kindness. It is something I could never forget. That even if I hated you back then because of your mother, I couldn't forget how you looked at me with kindness.”I smiled back at her. “Maybe because I felt that you’ll take care of me.”She nodded. “Who wouldn't love you? Even my stubborn and rebelliou
Blakely's POVThree days isn't enough for me to recover from what happened. I’m still thinking about everything, and I couldn't take my head off of what I talked about with Nik. He wants me to talk to his mother, and I know that I need it too. I need closure. I need to apologize. I need to tell her that I love her in spite of everything that happened. That I treated her like my real mother, and until now, I respect her more than anyone.“Will you be okay alone?” Rachel asked worriedly.I sighed as I looked at her through our reflection on the full-length mirror. “I already got my memories back, Rachel. I can be alone.”She nodded. “I’ll look after Blair.”I smiled and faced her. “Thank you.” She's the only one who's free today, and she volunteered to look after Blair. We're still in Hershey's apartment, and I’m planning to move out. I’ll visit Papa in the cemetery before searching for an apartment today.“Whatever your decision is, we’ll support you.”I stared at her. “But honestly, w
Blakely’s POVI was standing in front of Nik, and he was just silently looking at me. His eyes were glued on mine. He was almost not blinking, as if I’d disappear if he did. The tension in my heart was becoming strong as I felt the strong presence of the man I loved the most in this lifetime. I don’t think I’d ever love someone else in this lifetime.“Your hand?” His eyes remained on mine, in spite his curiosity about my wound.Slowly, I lifted my hand, showing my palm covered with bandage. “Still in pain.”“Your head?”I took a deep sigh. “I remember everything, Nik…”His eyes flickered with pain. “That’s all that matters to me.”I smiled bitterly. “Your father died.”“It’s not your fault.” He shook his head while staring deeply into my eyes. “I don’t know how I would convince you, but it’s not your fault, Blakely. No one wanted it to happen.”I looked down, tears rolled down my cheeks, but I immediately wiped them. “I feel guilty.”“I am too,” he whispered, just enough for me to hea
Blakely’s POVEverything happened so fast. Stan’s plan was executed swiftly, and we were able to trap lure and trap him easily. I couldn’t believe it could end like that. It was so fast. It was dangerous and scary, but we caught him so easily. My mind has been dwelling on it for the past hours until now.“Aren’t you tired? You should rest.”I looked at Alicia with doubts. “Is it really over, Alicia? I don’t know, but…it’s so fast. I couldn’t…get over it.”She sat on the couch and caressed my arm. “Nik has been planning to put Stan back in prison, and it’s because of his determination that the plan was executed smoothly. Also…because you’re brave enough to take the risk to find Blair.”I looked at my wounded hand. The knife cut Stan left in my palm stings, and I could still feel it throbbing because the cut is kinda deep. I got this wound from protecting myself and my daughter. I still couldn’t believe how my memories rushed back to me, as if my subconscious predicted what would happen
