"Girl, are you living in a cave? Haven't you seen what's going on in the internet?"

Lying in bed, clad only in a robe, I knew I needed some serious relaxation after yesterday's stress-fest.

I patted my face mask, making sure it was still firmly in place.

Laura insisted on a video call, and all she did was question my awareness of the world.

After that parking lot meltdown with Michael, I cursed him in every language I knew for making me cry. And he didn't even chase after me, didn't even say he was sorry. It had been ages since I'd shed a tear, probably months, ever since I swore off watching "Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast" ever again.

"Laura, I'm not interested in looking at my phone this morning. I'm trying to relax. I don't want to show up looking all wrinkled and stressed for my upcoming projects," I explained – or rather, excused myself while adjusting my headband.

"Are you serious? Bitch, you're famous!"

"I know that." I rolled my eyes.

"No, I mean, your name is tre

  • Grooming Our Love   Chapter 25: Hot Mess

    After that disastrous dinner, the tension grew even thicker when Thalia decided we all needed to "assemble" at the bar for some extended family bonding time. I want to say "yay" with a forced smile. I don’t know if she noticed that her husband’s “juniors” were busy sizing each other up with their glares, but I certainly did. Priam is a total chatterbox, and I’m not dumb enough to miss how he’s trying to get under Michael’s skin. Oh, my poor wealthy fiancé. “Been a while since we had a complete get-together,” Priam said, glancing around before landing his eyes on me. “And, of course, my soon-to-be sister-in-law joins us. Such an honor!” He leaned in closer, invading my personal space. Michael, as expected, sat decently on the single-seater couch while Thalia and Martin maintained this awkward one-fret-apart distance on the love seat. Meanwhile, I was perched on a stool, but this quadruple jerk decided to occupy the empty space next to me. Letting out a professional awkward c

    "We are so not getting in your car!" I exclaimed, already picturing us headed to the garage. "Let's just go back to the garden." I tried to pull him by his shirt, but he swatted my arm away and stood with his hands on his hips. "I'm driving you back to your house. You do skin care, face care, or whatever you call that. I've got a lot to do; I have work tomorrow. What we came here for is done, so let's go," he said with finality. "You are so square," I snorted, placing both hands on my hips. "You said we were going to have a wonderful night in your bed?" "I never said that." He arched his thick eyebrows. "Yes, you did," I insisted, but immediately hesitated and looked away. "Maybe it was just my imagination. But! You have no right to just bring me back home. You’re responsible for taking me on a date." I lifted my chin and gave him my best smoky glare—the kind of stance I pull whenever I flirt with someone. I knew no one could resist me. "So, take me to a museum, to the park

    NATASHAI can feel my right eyelid twitching as I fight the urge to jump into his arms.There he goes again. Why is he even here? Because of guilt?"What are you trying to say, Tasha?" He asked.Sighing heavily, I grabbed the door. "I'm tired, and I don't have time for this." I pushed the door closed, but before it could, Mike blocked it with his foot."Let's talk this through."Frustration washed over me. He should stop this!"I'm lost." He acted innocently. "What I came here for is to confess something to you, something I never thought I'd feel.""Oh, really?" I chuckled nonchalantly."Yeah," he stepped closer, but I kept my distance. "And I feel like... I feel like I like you.""I didn't know you would feel that way, Michael Montero."I noticed the way he paused when I uttered his full name."Yeah, I already know." I shook my head. "I ran away from you for a reason, you know that?"His surprise eventually faded, replaced by a composed expression and relaxed posture.Standing at my

    MICHAELShe's cold, so cold that I'm shivering like a fucked up tropical bird crash-landing in the Antarctic.After fucking her right, I wasn't able to leave her weak in the knees.Damn it!"Natasha..." I called out, waking up from a nap, her scent still lingering on the pillows.She's not beside me anymore, but the residual warmth on the bed is a testament to her presence.The clock shows it's a quarter past nine in the evening. I've made love to her more than once, leaving my mark inside her more than five times. I've given her my all.That's going to leave an indelible mark on her for the rest of her life.The sound of a spoon stirring in a cup reaches my ears. The aroma of creamy coffee fills the air, tantalizing my senses.Pushing the covers off, I pick up my neatly folded boxers from the foot of the bed and put them on.In the kitchen, she's sitting on one of the stools, her eyes looking lost.Did I frighten her?She knows everything. How? But does it matter? It's a relief, in a

    NATASHAThe sound of a pen tapping against a pad was irritating, but what can I say? I'm just an employee and Doris is bored.The whole diner is empty."That's your twentieth sigh," Doris counted, letting go of the pen and resting her hands on the counter. "Tell me what's going on, and maybe I can help.""I have a friend..." I began, causing her to burst into laughter before I could finish. "Did I say something funny?""Nothing, I'm sorry. Please, continue."Friend, that's probably the funniest thing about me because I don't have one. And Doris knows that.After working for her for months and having her in my life, she probably knows almost everything about me, except for the fact that I come from a well-known family.I continued, summarizing the story I was concerned about, referring to myself as 'this friend of mine'. It seems like Doris didn't catch on to who I was talking about."And she's asking for my advice, but I don't know what to say since I've never been in her shoes." I gr

    MICHAEL"Why are you still here?"I found myself sprawled out on her bed, engrossed in a book I found from her drawer. My hands were tucked under my head, serving as a makeshift pillow, legs lazily crossed, and, frankly, stark naked."And where on earth are your clothes?" She inquired, her tone laced with surprise and a hint of annoyance as she stepped into her apartment.It was mid-afternoon, signaling the end of her work shift.Damn clock must have been malfunctioning because it felt like I had been waiting an eternity rather than a mere four hours.Upon leaving the diner, I was disappointed by her continuous avoidance. She didn't even spare me a single word.She can be sweet, she can be seductive, and, damn, she can be cold as fuck.If I weren't so smitten with her, I would've asked for a divorce by now."My clothes are outside, drying in the sun," I replied, lifting my leg and playfully wiggling my toes at her. "Since I forgot to bring extra clothes, I have no choice but to wait u

    NATASHAIf a lion is offered meat, it bites. But since I'm only a part-time predator, I can only suck."Fuck..." Mike groaned as I took him inside my mouth.The taste of his saltiness mixed with the scent of soap made him incredibly delicious. I had never done this before, but I had learned from watching mature videos on the internet.I never anticipated that it would feel this amazing pleasuring someone.His impressive size stretched my mouth. He was so big that I couldn't take all of him. I had to use my hands to give him the desired thrust.One of his hands rested above my head, guiding the rhythm of my movements. He wanted it slow, but I wanted him more."Fuck, Natasha," he moaned.When I lifted my gaze, I saw him looking at me with his droopy eyes. Mouth parted, chest heaving. He seemed to be experiencing a mix of pain and pleasure. Pain that he likes.Releasing his rod, I shifted my focus to his soft and sensitive balls.Mike hissed from the sensation.I was being careful, not w

    MICHAELI watched as she walked around, exploring the house I owned in Hampton.The balcony offered a view of the beach, and the constant salty air added to the ambiance.Natasha. I'm starting to fucking enjoy how her name rolls off my tongue.She stood on the balcony, her porcelain skin seeming to glow as the orange light from the setting sun illuminated her. Her silky blonde hair danced in the wind, along with her flowy dress that fluttered softly."You had me fooled," she said when I joined her by the banister. "I should've known. You rent a room at a resort worth more than a year of my salary at the diner, and now I find out that you own a multi-million dollar beach house here in Hampton."Her gaze was fixed on the scenery, but for me, the most interesting sight was her face.Damn, she's a beautiful woman."You're beautiful," I said, voicing what my mind had been telling me about her.She seemed to forget how to speak and chose to look away from me."Look at me, Natasha."

    MICHAELMarried, patched up the past, and currently facing some challenges."Whoa!" I exclaimed as a flying vase welcomed me the moment I entered the house. It nearly hit my face if not for my quick reflexes."I don't want to see your face!" Natasha shouted, catching me off guard.I knew she was in a bad mood when I left this morning, but what had I done wrong?Setting the vase down on the floor, I was greeted by another jar, but this time, I failed to catch it, and it hit the wall, shattering into pieces."Baby, what's wrong? What did I do?" I asked, completely clueless about the situation."You were seeing another woman!" She accused, grabbing a flower vase from the coffee table."Baby! Baby! Stop, okay? Let's talk this through.""Talk?" She threw the vase, hitting the door. "Only guilty people would want to talk because they know they were caught!""What?" I sighed, walking closer to her."Don't you dare take another step, Michael Montero," she pointed her index finger at me, but I

    NATASHAI let out a yelp as Michael suddenly scooped me up from the ground when we entered the house.The entire day had been a mix of nervousness and excitement. Now, we're wrapping it up by expressing the love we vowed in front of the altar and, well... by making love."How does it feel to finally be my Mrs. Montero?" He inquired, kissing my jaw as we climbed the stairs."I haven't felt it yet, but I think I'll find out once we get to the bed," I mischievously replied, knowing he enjoyed it.The way his face lit up and his eyes sparkled, I knew my naughty Michael enjoyed it when I let myself go wild. He likes it whenever I ride along in his mischievous side."Oh-ho, you definitely will," he chuckled, pushing open the door to our bedroom and gently laying me down on the bed, being careful not to hurt my stomach. "I want to be rough, but I can't, right?""Nope," I shook my head, biting my lower lip."That's a shame," he whispered before leaning in to kiss my lips.I could sense his ex

    MICHAELThe church is ready, everyone is prepared, and I am all set. However, what's not ready is the schedule; Natasha is still not walking down the aisle.Aaron's laughter beside me only adds to my irritation. "Chill, man. I'm pretty sure Tasha won't run away this time. She's head over heels for you."Choosing him as my best man might have been a mistake. I could have picked Quintus instead, but he insisted on giving up that spot and settled for a seat in the audience. But, Pierce intervened, insisting that they both accompany Natasha down the aisle together.The process of the wedding was a challenge, it was a lot of work, a lot of planning, but now, everything was perfect.I just wish that Natasha will see this as what she expected it to be."You're sweating. I bet you'll be drenched like someone poured a bucket of water on you once she finally arrives," he teased.Rolling my eyes, I silently prayed that I wouldn't do anything inappropriate in the church, or I'd end up in hell soo

  • Grooming Our Love   CHAPTER 151: WEDDING GOWN

    NATASHAPromises are being fulfilled one by one, leading me closer to exchanging vows with the person I want to spend my life with."Are you really sure about your choice?" Laura's question felt weighty, as if we were discussing something serious, even though we were just ordering a slice of cake at the café."I clearly said I wanted it," I replied matter-of-factly. "You're acting like you're footing the bill," I added, handing the girl at the bar the money to settle everything I ordered."I'm just worried about you. Michael mentioned you've been into sweets lately. Have you seen all the treats you ordered? All sweets," she gestured towards the three paper bags being readied at the counter. "Yes, you asked for one slice, but did you order every flavor available?"Looking around with a pout, I noticed how Laura's nagging had caught the attention of some customers."If you plan on bloating up like a balloon, you might want to postpone the wedding because the gown won't fit," she teased.

  • Grooming Our Love   CHAPTER 150: LIBRARY'S STORY

    MICHAELI can feel the coldness of her hands against mine; I can see how edgy she becomes as she fidgets on her seat for the past few minutes.The soft song coming from the speakers isn't loud enough to drown out the loud beating of her heart because from where I am, I can hear it."Relax, baby. No one's going to eat you here aside from me," I joked and squeezed her hand lightly. "Unless you need me to ease you down. I'd be glad to attend you in one of the rooms available in Dad's house," I whispered to her.I expected her to scold me and slap my shoulder, but instead, she stood up and pulled me with her.Looks like her hormones are getting stronger and stronger. I like it when she's the one insisting.Passing by Richie, who's carrying a tray of food, probably for Nathaniel, I nodded at him when he looked at us with a frown. Must be because the party is about to start, and we're heading back inside the house.Wincing, I discreetly pointed at Natasha, and he already knew what it means.

    NATASHAMy choice was right to drop everything I planned ahead and settle at home, in bed with my husband.I feel like a woman, a strong person while he makes me weak at the same time."You're-- you're pulling back," I said, noticing the way he doesn't move the way he did back then. Every thrust he gives me is careful and slow, tickling me."Shhh...." he hushed me before claiming my lips and kissing me endearingly. Every suck he makes on my lower lip urges me to make a sound, and every time he thrusts deep inside me, I catch my breath.My fingers run through his hair, yanking and pulling. Wanting him closer."I missed you so much," he whispered in my ear as he moved inside me.The air between us is supposed to give us the freedom to breathe properly, yet we only feel suffocated. Our skin begins glistening, sweat rolls in a breezy morning.The wind coming from the open balcony door can't outdo the heat we're making."Ah!" I scream when he hits the right spot, deep. "I'm coming," I gasp

  • Grooming Our Love   CHAPTER 148: THE ONLY CHOICE

    NATASHATwo months after the incident, I've become more cautious about what's around me, the people I encounter, and the smallest details that I could see.Michael told me everything, what happened before the incident and after.I figured out that Elena manipulated everything and he admitted to me that he also fell for her trap. He said that he thanked me, or else, he would have secured the wrong person.The aftermath, everything became a lot different than before. It's like everyone believed that we have moved on, but we haven't. Or is it just me who can't move forward?The aroma of the caffeine reached my senses as I stirred the coffee with a spoon, standing by the sink, my eyes looking through the window and found Michael heading to the back door while wiping his greasy hands."I finally fixed it, didn't I say so?" He proudly uttered as he opened the back door. "I'm Michael Montero, baby." He came close to me, and I immediately stopped him."Oh my God, Michael. Don't you touch me w

    MICHAELI could barely hold the wheel. My hands were sweating. I was a bit on edge, thinking about getting caught in an accident for getting too distracted."We're three cars behind you, Mr. Montero. We got your back," Detective Han said over the phone. "I have my team keeping an eye on your house. Just one wrong move from them, and they're all canceled.""Thank you, Detective."I feared not being held captive, but for my family.There were no words coming from any criminal's mouth that I could trust. All I knew was that while the sharks were around, I needed to keep myself from bleeding. But my family was the bait. I would let my blood stain the sea."I've arrived at the house, Detective," I announced as I pulled over in front of the gates. "Take the shot when I'm in the open.""We got you, Mr. Montero."Leaving everything inside the car, I hopped out, looking around, counting how many visible eyes were on me.The concrete floor felt like it was getting hotter with every step I took,

    NATASHATime was ticking, and my heart seemed to fail with every passing second. I kept my mouth shut, even as the man who had us tied up bore a hole in me with his gaze."This is itching my fingers to pull the trigger," he murmured, tossing aside the fork he used to eat the skewered meat Dad Quintus had grilled.The clanking noise made my shoulders tense, gasping for air as I closed my eyes.I could feel a sudden pain in my stomach. My baby, no! I had to stay calm.Breathing in through my nose and exhaling slowly through my mouth, thinking about Michael calmed me, but I couldn't help feeling even more nervous.Every footstep the man took decorated the air with silence, a noise I didn't want to hear. The tapping of the soles of his shoes described menace, and I felt threatened every second.The smell of his odor clung to danger. I could smell it, and I could feel the approaching distress."Hey, you," he pointed at one of his men who was shamelessly feasting on the food from the table
