She is taken aback. She straightens her posture and crosses her arms, her tattooed eyebrows flick and rise, but she knew I am not completely wrong, so she unexpectedly agrees with me, or so I thought, “You’re right! But you see-”, she’s not willing to back out, “He's been busy for your future. Maybe you should at least give him a little slack, no?”, she says as if her recommendation sounds more like a demand.

Her words echo repeatedly, and my heart retaliates. For the first time, I think I need to put her in her place. I just can’t let it pass. She doesn't even know what I've been through. She doesn't even know what his son did to me. I am just not anyone. I am not a pushover. And I know my self-worth, so with my head held high, “I think there's something you're not aware of, Barbara. You may think that given the fact that Seid and I dated almost a decade now, err, will ensure our future together. You see, your son made a terrible mistake, which you could ask him later by the way, an

    A few months after the break-up, Seid and I never cross paths. I fulfill my promise not to sue him for what he did, and he keeps his word to stop Barbara from visiting my office. There are times that Seid would send me messages, saying hello. In fact, he sends me messages now much more often than he used to back then. It is true, you only realize someone's value when they no longer exist in your world. Do I still love him? Maybe it isn't that easy to forget a decade of romance, and sometimes, I think of giving us a second chance. But when I think about my worth, I guess he doesn't deserve me at all. So I always block the idea before it seeds in my heart.And another reason is Dmitri. When I think about our time together, I felt we are compatible with each other, but I don't believe in a long-distance relationship. And, I was just a woman who passed by his life. I sigh and lay my back on the backrest of my executive seat while blankly staring at my laptop screen."Dmitri Sullivan, shou

    As this woman leads me to the conference room, all I could hear is my racing heartbeat either because of humiliation or probably anger. When the conference room reaches my vision, I can see Dmitri's frustrated face while listening to the men's report across from him. I don't speak the business language but I can tell that the reports aren't satisfying. Once again, I hear Dmitri's stern voice after a while, "You call this thing bullshit," throws the file in the middle of them, and leans forward then rests his elbows on the table while his fingers are held together, then he speaks in a calmer but scarier voice, "Can anyone give me anything that this horseshit?"Approximately ten people in the meeting room murmur as Dmitri holds his position. I, on the other hand, feel much pressure upon seeing him upset, "Uh-oh, I think I chose the wrong day to visit."Then the lady excuses her presence, "Hold on, Ms. Anderson, let me tell Mr. Sullivan, that you're here."So I immediately respond to her

    He chuckles, "Well, is that the reason why you are being so distant right now? Well, Ava, I have my reasons, and besides, I wanna get out of that meeting so bad, so I need you here as an excuse," then he slides his chair forward in front of my chair, and pulls my chair closer to him that soon makes me loses my balance. So I grab both his shoulders to keep still, then he continues to caress me with his words, "And I want to see you soon so bad, and do things like this to you," he brushes my nose with his fingers as he did back then.My heart pounds and wouldn't stop racing. Just feeling his minty breath as he speaks, and his gorgeous smell like a soothing aroma turns me on."Oh god, Ava, you need to control yourself," I remind myself. So I immediately remove my hands from his shoulders and look on the right instead to avoid his gaze, but his hand gently moves my head forward again, where I can clearly stare at his green eyes, high nose, and sexy lips."I already told you, I always want

    I gasp as his greatness juggles before my eyes, stiff as if it has its own life. It draws my hand near it, and as I gently touch and feel its hot skin, I hear Dmitri moan, too. My ears fonder at his moaning voice so I continue to touch it up and down in a rhythm. As his voice gets a bit more sensual, and as my hand gets faster for too much excitement he halts me and pins me down on the table.“Hold still, I will teach you self-control, just put your arms raising and do nothing no matter what, if you move I’ll stop, got it,” he commands me.So I voluntarily raise both my hands and trust him. His hands move around my breasts and nipples again. He traces them with great pressure and squeezes then releases them simultaneously. I gasp as I let myself feel his touch much more. His warm hands begin to travel down to my flat stomach, my waist, and my lower abdomen. He moves in a circular motion on my lower abdomen which makes me wet even more,“Oh, Dmitri, please, I am so wet now,” I beg him

    As per Dmitri’s instruction, later that moment, Cullens knocks at his office, while Dmitri and I are discussing my visit. He signals her to come in and she serves us the coffee and the chocolate truffle bars, while we continue with our conversation. “So Ava, since Manhattan Heights requests for my presence, what can I get from you? You know very well how the negotiation goes,” he jests. “You’ll have me in return,” I counter and we both laugh at our jokes, while Cullens is obviously pissed off at how the conversation goes. So me being a bitch intentionally shows her how close I am to Dmitri. I run my fingers through his sleeves and act flirty in front of him. Her face grimaces even more until she leaves the office. “I know what you’re doing Ava, don’t be so mean to her,” Dmitri says. “What?”, shrugging my shoulders, “I just want her to know her place, that’s all,” I sulking say. He smiles and goes along with our conversation. He agrees to have an exclusive with him if Manhattan He

  • Her Burning Desire   Acceptance

    Our orders finally arrived and we begin to dig in. Right after her first bite, Kendra is excited to know about my news. I first feel awkward sharing things in front of Nikolai, but since I already decided to accept him, I think more meetings and setup like this will happen in the near future, so might as well be more comfortable with him. “Well, K, as you already knew, the guy I met in Austria is actually here in The States, and I just met him today,” I excitedly share the bean. “Well, isn’t that great, A? Is there any progress? Did you jump at him now?”, Kendra frankly asks so Nikolai bumps her shoulder with his, but she sulks at him and explains, “What? This is how we talk, duh?”I laugh at them, “Well, I didn’t jump at him, but he may have jumped at me?”, I teased them. And I shared the story about how I felt embarrassed at first, then the hot scene inside the conference room, and how that red-haired woman grimaced at me when she finally realized that I am his woman. I actually

  • Her Burning Desire   Tension

    My whole body suddenly gets numb as I hear the voice, the only voice that has a huge impact on me, a voice that I can literally recognize even just for a mile. Right at that moment, my surroundings seem to stop, and only I can move, I don’t know if it is the alcohol or not, but now, I can clearly see Dee’s face.My body is parallel to his, and his arms are now supporting me, then he brushes my nose again with his finger like he always does,“You naughty woman, why are you putting yourself out here in danger? Don’t you see guys are already undressing you in their minds?” his stern voice says.“And what do you mean by danger when she’s with me? Who the hell are y-”, K is unusually much more wasted than I am, so I immediately cover her mouth and whisper to her, “He’s Dmitri Sullivan, the guy that I’ve been telling you?”Her eyes open wide and her jaw drops, she eyes Dmitri from head to foot and utters, “He’s the guy who’s been getting in your pants? He’s damn hot.”I signal Nikolai to ge

  • Her Burning Desire   Sour Truth

    I continue listening to their conversation in secret. I just can’t believe what I heard. How will I face Dmitri knowing all about this? How will Dee react? Will he distance himself again? Or will he hold it against me or Kendra? How about K? Should I tell her or not?My mind is so confused right now that I can’t even take another step towards them, so I decided to just go back to Kendra’s, who seems not so herself today. I thought, does she know about all of this? Curiously, I ask her.“Err, K, I hope you won’t be mad, but, did you ever research about Nikolai’s family or his wife specifically?” then I let out a sigh and wait for her to answer.She looks at me with those reddish eyes probably from throwing up earlier. Then she asks me to come to her and softly answers, “Honestly? No. I tried to look it up before but every time I do, I just can’t seem to look at them: the family I am destroying, the woman who’s hurting, the innocent kids who are about to lose their father.”Then her tea

And your cue is the dimming light, okay?”“Uh-huh,” I hesitantly answer.But she is there to boost and cheer me up, “Take a deep breath, relax, and remember, you are good, and you definitely got this!”The sound from the crowd suddenly dies down and the voice of the host is heard.

    (Avery’s Thoughts)“Babe, did it come out now?” Jeff yells behind the door. While I am damn nervous to even peek at it. “It is only a minute, it needs another minute, babe. Please, don’t stress me out,” I yell back at him. “I’m sorry. I just feel so excited about the news. I can’t wait to tell mom and dad about our baby!” he says exhilaratingly. “Don’t jinx it!” I scream angrily. “Okay, okay, I’ll wait here patiently,” answers Jeff. I am here sitting on the bathroom floor, waiting for the result to come out from the pregnancy test kit. It has been almost three years since we got married and there was never a time that we didn’t try having a baby. But until now, there’s still nothing. I hug my knees and start crying silently, “What if it fails again? Am I infertile?” I ask myself. The kit finally ticks and now I have to face the truth. God knows we’ve been trying so hard that’s why I even ask Kendra to take full charge of the business for now. I stop all my physical activities

    (Avery’s Thoughts) Our El Nido, Palawan experience was splendid. And of course, I still can’t believe it. I came there single, “And now, I am officially Avery Tales. I am now married,” I murmur as I stare at both my and his wedding ring while he’s holding my hand in his sleep. It’s been a week since we came back here to America. Of course, the honeymoon stage has just begun and Jeff wants to make love to me almost every time. And me, being a good wife, always give him what he wants. Although, right now, I think I am still a little swollen down there. I go to the bathroom to clean myself up and wash my face as I promised Kendra I’ll be meeting her so we can talk about our new business venture. After brushing my teeth, I wake Jeff up, “Hey, babe. Didn’t you say you have an interview at Kirkland’s Best?”He groans and instead of getting up, he pulls me into the bed and showers me with morning kisses. I giggle as his kisses tickle me, “Babe, stop it. We have a lot of things to do tod

    (Avery's Thoughts)Even though the wedding is sudden, Jeff managed to pull it off, and he has planned it all along. So after the wedding ceremony, we stayed for a little bit, I got to finally meet his parents. And for the longest of times, I once again felt the warm embrace of a parent. It made me cry because I knew that I am no longer alone, and no longer an orphan. Because now that we are married, his parents became my parents, too. And I can’t deny, my heart is full. After that, we stayed to talk to our guests for some time, and then we ate and enjoy the party, too. And now I am here standing on the balcony staring at the moonlight, while Jeff is still cleaning. I don’t know why. It isn’t the first time we are going to have sex, but for some reason, now that we are married, there’s this tension inside me, a feeling of hesitation, a feeling that I am officially owned by him. And unexplainably, I feel afraid. And now, my heart almost stops as I hear the gushing of the water fina

    (Avery’s Thoughts) Later this evening, all four of us will meet Jeff’s parents. And because of it, I am so dead worried and I can’t get this nervousness out of my system. So while Jeff is away meeting his parents ahead of time, I rush downstairs and go to our neighboring villa. I knock ceaselessly, but Kendra and Nik aren’t coming out. I move back to look up, and I see that the light is on, it means they are there, so I continue to rampage on their door. “Kendra, Kendra,” I knock nonstop, “Open up, please!” I scream a little loud. Then after five minutes of almost breaking their door down, someone finally opens the door for me. “Thank God you finally come out, what took you so l–” I am about to complain but when I see her glaring at me with her hair a little bit frizzy and wrap in a blanket, I know that I should be more careful with my next words. Then later on Nik comes down with a little sweat on his forehead. “Uh-oh, definitely bad timing, Avery,” I say to myself. Then Kend

This stupid luggage just won’t listen to me!” she frustratedly yells back at me. Kendra is not a patient and she hates dealing with this kind of stuff. So I go to her room to check up on her. And there I see her leg wrestling with her luggage just so she can close it up. “Stupid-little-luggage!” she yells and kicks before she pounds it hard in the end. And then she sits beside it looking at me with so much energy wasted. “Help me out, A?” she begs. I smile at her and then gently hit her on her forehead. “That’s why I’ve been telling you to pack a week ago,” I nag at her a little and she sticks her tongue out for a moment. “Hmm, let’s see what unnecessary things you put in here,” I tease her. Then I begin to take out some clothes and things she can’t wear to our destination. “Nope!” “–But I need it.” “–It’

And even without looking, I know this one is definitely Dmitri’s voice since it triggers the hatred hidden deep within my bones.And as he passed by me, he steps up and grabs the arms of that tallest guy, “Let go, Luke, please,” he calmly says.Then the man who fell suddenly stands up continuing his tantrums like a child, “Why are you siding with them, Dee? He punches me first, you should get mad at that bitchy Heather’s husband” then scowls at Dmitri. But Dmitri is true to his words for the first time in his fucking life, he is trying to fix the situation. He glares at him and Luke, “I said Let go, Luke.

I have two more spare rooms in my apartment so I guess it is fine. Kervin is still here, so they will look after him while I go out with Nik and enjoy our anniversary. I am about to finish dolling up when A enters my room. “Hey there, gorgeous,” she says while leaning on the side of the door. I am currently wearing my earrings when my side zipper comes undone. So she goes to me and says, “Here, I got this,” she says and helps me out. I can’t stop smiling. I am just happy to know she’s here. I am happy we get to do this again. I hear the zip sound finishes, “Okay, you are good to go, sexy K. Are you going to bring the house down tonight with your fiery red velvet bodycon dress?” she pokes my side. “Oh god, no.
