HIDDEN DESIRE 49. A Picnic
Sophia and Albert returned home, hand in hand. It was already quite late in the afternoon, and after talking for so long and running low on their picnic supplies, they decided it was time to head back. Albert still carried the picnic basket, while Sophia held the blanket she had folded haphazardly, hugging it to her chest.Sophia couldn't bring herself to lift her head, and as they walked, she kept her eyes focused on the tips of her shoes. What had happened today would be something Sophia would never forget, not ever. She would remember it, perhaps even when she became a grandmother someday.The moment they shared today was too... precious. Especially for Sophia. She wished she could replay every second of it in her mind forever, cherishing this happiness at certain moments in the future.It wasn’t the first

"So, what's your answer?" Albert asked.Sophia stared at him, confused. Which question was Albert referring to?"What?""About my previous question, 'What will you give me as a reward if I draw you?'" Albert replied.Sophia looked stunned. She remembered Albert asking her that earlier, but because of the teasing touches that accompanied his question, she couldn’t focus at all."You... want to draw me?"Albert smiled with a meaningful look.Oh, if only Sophia knew that her husband had many drawings of her face on various sheets of paper."Hm," Albert answered briefly, deciding not to t

Sophia knew that what she was doing right now was a foolish decision. Why was she even bothering to pick up Luke Abraham? Driving around the city, hopping from one bar to another. Attending crowds she despised. Enduring the occasional flirtation from sleazy men.“This is insane,” Sophia groaned inside the taxi that was crawling through the congested streets.'Just one more,' she thought. If she didn’t find the person she was looking for in this next bar, she would go home. Someone else would surely come looking for him later.“Oh, why didn’t I think of that earlier?” Sophia muttered to herself again.Of course, someone would come looking for Luke. After all, he was an Abraham.

The security guard who had been scolded by Daniel earlier returned, now holding a cup of coffee in his hand. It was identical to the one Daniel had dropped before, but with only one cup this time, Daniel hesitated to take it.“What’s wrong, Mr. Mateo?” the security guard asked.Daniel glanced at Sophia, who was still waiting for a taxi, standing not far from where he and the security guard were.“Nothing. Thank you, Dean,” Daniel replied, taking the coffee and walking back toward Sophia. He stood beside her, sipping the coffee with satisfaction.“It seems you’ll have to wait a few more hours to get a taxi. If so, you’ll be home quite late—unless you’re willing to accept my earlier offer,” Daniel said.

When Albert fell silent, he realized that what he felt was indeed jealousy. So what? Sophia was his wife. As her husband, of course, he would feel this way seeing her meeting another man without his knowledge.But something so obvious, how could Sophia not realize it and still ask?Since Albert's pride was too high to admit it, he didn't answer the question. Instead, he turned his gaze out the window. As a substitute, Albert pulled Sophia closer, wrapping his arms tightly around her.That gesture was enough to answer the question lingering in Sophia's mind. She didn’t press further and returned his embrace with equal warmth.***Sophia dreamt about it again. The scorching fire, the suffocating smoke, the searing pain ac
Last Updated : 2025-02-03HIDDEN DESIRE 54. High Fever
Earlier, Sophia had thought Albert’s words about not fainting were ridiculous and overly dramatic.But now, she lay in bed, drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness. She had no idea how her condition had worsened so much. The last thing she remembered was feeling too dizzy after her phone call with Albert, so she lay down and closed her eyes.When she woke up, Albert was already in her room with a female doctor examining her.Sophia couldn’t summon the strength to open her eyes; she could only hear the voices around her. She could detect the worry in Albert’s voice, the occasional concern in Dana’s tone, and the calm, professional explanations of the doctor as she described Sophia’s condition.Truly, Sophia wished she could open he

“What time is it?” Sophia asked.“Ten,” Albert replied.“Evening?!” Sophia asked in disbelief. “So I’ve been sleeping that long,” she muttered to herself.Albert gave her a flat smile. “I don’t think you were sleeping at all. The truth is, you passed out for nearly the entire day.”Sophia waved her hand dismissively. “I didn’t pass out. You can’t tell the difference between sleeping and fainting, can you?” She still didn’t realize how bad her condition was this time. Usually, when she had a fever, Sophia never fainted like that.Albert looked at her incredulously.“I already

“Oh!” Sophia widened her eyes. She hadn’t expected Albert to say that.‘…my wife.’ Sophia repeated the words over and over in her head, smiling foolishly.“Consider it payback for what you did back then,” Albert said.He was referring to the time when Sophia had taken care of him while he was sick.“Hm, alright. Fair enough,” Sophia replied, giving in, even though she still felt a bit uneasy.They spent the rest of their time together in the room. Albert focused on his work, while Sophia sat beside him, wrapped in a blanket, leisurely reading a book.“I have a meeting

The bar is very crowded, but Albert is sitting alone, which is unusual for him.Paula tries to approach him, but Albert openly rejects her because he wants to be alone.

Paula got the drug from one of her male friends who was also there.
HIDDEN DESIRE 99. I Know How It Feels
"You can't do that!" Sophia replied firmly."Why? Working with her won't make you comfortable, and it might affect the deal you two are going to make. You should just change editors."Sophia turned around and looked at her husband with amusement. "But you're fine working with Luke, Daniel, and Alexander. Are you secretly comfortable with them?" Alicia asked, squinting her eyes as she suspiciously looked at her husband.Albert’s expression changed to one of annoyance.Sophia chuckled, then touched Albert’s arm to calm him. "Don’t worry. Lina is working as an editor probably because she’s an expert in the field. I’ve had a conversation with her, and I admit, she’s actually quite fun to talk to when it comes to literature," Sophia said. S
HIDDEN DESIRE 98. Change That Part
Sophia’s skin flushed red as she stepped out of the bath. A thin mist slightly blurred her view, also causing the mirror in front of her to fog up. Sophia wiped it with her hand and stared at her reflection.Her brown eyes widened as she gazed at the face that looked slightly different in the mirror. She touched her forehead, there were no wrinkles there, and she looked… relaxed? Happy? Sophia wasn’t sure how to describe it.While she was lost in thought, suddenly someone came up from behind and draped a towel over her body.“What are you thinking about?” Albert asked, wiping her back.“I can do it myself!” Sophia said in a panic, quickly turning around.But Albert ignored her
HIDDEN DESIRE 97. Sunset In Your Room (19)
"Wake up!" Albert whispered in his wife's ear. "Wake up, darling, we're not finished yet," he coaxed again, his voice low and enticing.Still with her eyes tightly shut, Sophia mumbled softly. "What time is it?" she asked with a hoarse voice that sounded strange. Was it because she had screamed too much earlier? Sophia thought, her cheeks flushing red."It's only three in the afternoon. And you've just slept for thirty minutes. Come on, wake up!" Albert said."Nghm...! Only thirty minutes? Aren't you tired?" Sophia replied in a soft voice.Albert chuckled softly, pressing a tender kiss on the back of his wife's hand. "Are you tired?" Albert asked in return, his hand roaming as it searched for his wife's chest."Hm," Sophia re
HIDDEN DESIRE 96. Toward Each Other (19)
Albert let out a harsh breath before lowering his body to press against Sophia's soft form, then buried his face in the hollow of his wife's neck."I just don't want anyone else seeing you wear this damned outfit. Do you have any idea how beautiful you looked when you walked towards me earlier? With that confident, yet angry look in your eyes... You looked so provocative. Damn it!" Albert then kissed and nipped at Sophia’s neck, making her let out a soft moan."But why are you so angry?" Sophia replied, her breath hitching.Albert chuckled softly. "Why do you think? Still don’t get it?" he muttered.Sophia understood, but she refused to accept the feelings that came so easily. Yet, Albert's kiss made it harder to concentrate. There was no point in resisting the desire be
HIDDEN DESIRE 95. You Don’t Understand
Albert pushed the foreign woman, whose name he didn’t even know, away from him. She had suddenly approached him and thrown herself at Albert like this. At first, Albert didn’t want to be rude. He had already told her to back off, but the woman just kept talking.And what did she say earlier? She had booked herself a room at a Singapore hotel? Albert thought for a moment, staring sharply at the woman’s face. That’s when he remembered that the woman in front of him was the “gift” Mr. Harris, Albert’s colleague in Singapore, had given him a while ago.Albert was about to speak, to tell the woman to leave him alone and stop bothering him. If necessary, he would offer her more money than what Mr. Harris had paid her for that night. However, before Albert could say anything, his ears caught a faint sob behind him.
HIDDEN DESIRE 94. Embarrassing Moment
In the yellow bikini, her pale skin appeared even more radiant. With a low-cut top and thin-strapped bottoms, Sophia transformed into the picture of a summer beauty, her body alluring. However, despite all of that, Sophia felt far from confident. She nearly cried when she saw how awkward and ridiculous her reflection looked in the mirror.Once again, Sophia asked herself, should she really do this? What would Albert think?She was supposed to go home with Albert today, there was no reason to delay any further. But Billie and Paula had decided to throw a pool party in the backyard of their house.They should have done this in the summer, why now when the weather was starting to cool down? But a party was a party, no matter the time, they were just looking for an excuse to have fun.
HIDDEN DESIRE 93. With One Condition
Was it only care that Albert felt when he kissed her like that? Should Sophia add affection into the equation? But if that were the case, it wouldn’t fully explain how they slept together and made love so passionately and intensely. People who only care for each other wouldn’t do that.Then Sophia thought, perhaps Albert did love her. But love itself has many categories. Maybe Albert’s love was only directed toward the feelings that Sophia evoked in him, or the desire they both shared.Sophia was so confused. And she was terrified to guess for herself, afraid of being disappointed if she hoped too much.But Daniel's words kept ringing in her head, “What do you think Albert feels for you all this time?”Sophia wanted to know. Was it really li
HIDDEN DESIRE 92. Almost Lost Control
Albert watched as Paula Abraham hurriedly approached him and Alexander, who were both silent in a tense atmosphere in front of their cars, which happened to be parked side by side. Albert couldn’t easily forget what that man had done, taking advantage of his wife when she was half-drunk. Although they were both intoxicated that night, seeing how Alex remembered everything, Albert was sure that he was pretending to be too drunk in front of Sophia so that she would be moved to follow his wishes.That’s what Albert called taking advantage. And Albert knew that Alex did it just to annoy him."Let's go!" Paula said in a cold, commanding tone.Alex, like a man who had been searching for an excuse to do so, immediately obeyed his girlfriend’s words. Soon after, the car drove off.
