Zandy's POVI entered Miles's family house SILENTLY. Uncle Wesley called me to tell me go go there because he wanted to talk to me.Miles and I just moved into our own house and as I expected, it hasn't been easy for me and I know it hasn't been easy for Miles either.But I'm excited about what can happen between Miles and me while we're under the same roof. I know we will be together for a long time but I know it will be exciting especially because I can see how Miles can get angry and annoyed with me.I found Uncle Wesley sitting in the living room of the house. Aunt Emma wasn't there. He immediately smiled at me."I'm glad you came, Zandy. Have a sit," he said.I casually smiled and sat in the seat opposite Uncle Wesley. "How are you, Uncle Wesley? How's your health?"Uncle Wesley bowed for a moment while a smile appeared on his lips. "I'm good now, Zandy. I'm feeling good, thanks for the concern," he returned."I'm glad to hear that, Uncle," I said. A moment of silence prevailed o
The night came and I didn't want it to end because tomorrow we will leave this paradise and go back to Manila. I want to spend more time with Zandy and if I could extend this vacation, I would, but I can't because of the work waiting for me in Manila.But I also know that when I go home, I bring with me the joy and happiness that Zandy made me feel while we were both here in this place."Thank you, Mila," I said kindly as she handed me the coconut juice that Zandy also had.The beautiful girl smiled. "I hope that both of you enjoy staying here," Mila said with her sweet smile still there."Yeah, we enjoy staying here, Mila," Zandy said casually and started drinking the juice."Zandy's right, Mila, we enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for accommodating us well here," I said with a smile. I turned to the juice in front of me and started drinking it. It brought a strange relief to my throat. It's cold and moderately sweet, the knuckle there is delicious. But just a few moments later, I sudden
I SLOWLY opened my eyes and the bright surroundings revealed me. I winced when I felt a pain in the middle of my thigh. I frowned. I was immediately worried when I felt the firm arm that was supporting me and the man hugging me.I blinked repeatedly. I swallowed saliva as I was attacked by nervousness. No! Suddenly everything came back to what happened last night. My strange feelings, the heat, and desire. My eyes widened and my mouth fell open, as I kept thinking back to Zandy's passionate kiss with me and the whole thing that happened to us last night.No! This cannot happen. I turned to the one hugging me and saw Zandy sleeping soundly while hugging me. His big body is also exposed. He moved a little more and moaned."What did you do, Miles?" I asked in my mind. I just realized what happened. I gave myself to Zandy without hesitation. I can't believe what I did. I bit my lower lip.I slowly removed Zandy's hand that was hugging me but he hugged me even tighter and moaned slightly.
SEVERAL hours of trip before we finally reached home. I can feel the tiredness and pain of my body sitting in the car. I couldn't even take a nap because of my chaotic mind because of what happened to Zandy and me. I don't know how to deal with him and talk to him after what happened to us last night.I'm ashamedThe car stopped inside the garage of the house. I didn't let Zandy open the car for me so I got off first. I took my backpack from the passenger seat but I was about to get my suitcase when Zandy preceded me."I'll handle this, Miles," he said casually behind me. Our bodies pressed together which gave me a strange feeling. I have also smelled his fragrant smell that is delicious to the nose.I just didn't say anything. I just looked at him for a moment, then walked towards the main door. I took out my key and opened it. I went straight into the living room, dropped my backpack, and sat down on the sofa. I leaned there and closed my eyes. A few moments later, I felt Zandy come
I was not surprised when I went to work the next morning, just as I expected, I was bombarded with questions and intrigue from Melissa and Andrea. I wanted to cover both my ears to not hear their question about what happened to Zandy and me during the vacation."What's up, Miles? Did something happen to you—I mean, what happened on your vacation?" Melissa asked excitedly."Yes, Miles is there at least a little bit," Andrea seconded.I just sat in my seat but I couldn't count their questions. Good thing it's still early and it's not work time yet. I frowned and closed my eyes tightly. "Wait!" I said at the same time raising my two open palms, signaling to stop them both. "How can I answer? You two are asking questions one after the other. Can we just go one by one?" I seriously restrained them.The two were stunned. They moved slightly away from me and folded their arms."Then, what happened?" asked Melissa with a serious face but the excitement on her face was still undeniable."We we
Zandy's POVI did not say a word when mom said she was going to invite Miles over for dinner. We're not okay and we'll always argue if they always bring us together but because they want that, there's nothing I can do.Mom prepared food and said she was going to pick Miles up from where she worked while I wasn't showing interest.A few moments later, mom came with Miles who was looking around and I could see the amazement in her eyes at what she was seeing. I didn't say a word to welcome her and I just looked at her for a moment while mom's face showed joy."Finally you're here, Miles welcome to our home," dad greeted Miles warmly. "I'm glad you're here."Miles smiled. "Thank you, Uncle, for inviting me here."Mom guided Miles to the seat next to me. I didn't say a word and left her there. I can feel her loss."Zandy, won't you at least say hello to your wife? She's here," mom said to me. I wanted to grin at the husband she mentioned.I looked up. "Why should I, mom I'm sure she was j
Until now, I still can't get out of my mind what Beverly said earlier in Sir Troy's office. I know she was referring to Zandy that she will return to. Some fear and jealousy settled in my heart. I'm afraid that when Zandy sees her, he'll forget about me. I can't help but compare myself to her. She's more beautiful and elegant than me. I don't even have anything against her looks.Beverly's return and why she chose me as a journalist to work with, when she knows I'm married to Zandy, has been troubling my mind. What does he want to happen? Is she planning anything and what is her real motive for returning aside from her career in the Philippines?"It's a miracle that you came out to eat with us," Andrea said when Melissa said she was going to eat out with us. Because she doesn't come with us when we eat.These two were still teasing me about what Sir Troy told me earlier but I chose not to tell them because I knew they would also be surprised.Andrea frowned. "I want to go with you two
"You know, Melissa, if you have feelings for someone, don't hide it. You too might be taken away," Andrea continued, teasing Melissa that perhaps Andrea was referring to Melissa's alleged feelings for Chad. Melissa's face couldn't be painted and her cheeks were red from embarrassment while Chad was silent.We are currently walking out of the building. It's past nine o'clock in the evening because we have just finished the articles that are close to the deadline.I smiled but then, I thought about what Melissa said that seemed to hit me too even though that was not her intention."Andrea, stop me! I'm going to charge you for what you ate earlier. He said I don't like Chad, ok? W-we're just friends, that's it," Melissa returned to Andrea with an obviously embarrassed face."Ouch! That hurts Melissa, you didn't even wait for me to leave before you said you didn't love me," Chad snapped. He closed his eyes and felt his chest as if it was painful. But it cannot be hidden from me that Chad
This morning, I went to work early because of the pile of work. I was also thinking about how I would do my work with Beverly. The deadline for that is near but until now I still don't know how to interview her."Oh? Looks like you came early, Miles?" Chad commented when I met him there with some of our colleagues in the department while I couldn't see Melissa and Andrea who probably arrived later."I have a lot of work to do, Chad, so I have to come in early," I answered, then placed my bag and some of my things on my table.I turned on the monitor in front of me. Chad didn't say a word either. I started typing to start the articles that have been in my file for a long time. I had only said a few words when I heard Shai's voice."Miles, you have to go to Sir Troy's office," she said to me seriously. I faced Shai asking. "If you ask me why, I don't know," she smiled as if she could read my mind. "Just go there."I just frowned and was left thinking. Sir Troy always calls me. I am not
"THANK YOU, Ton for coming," I said seriously when he arrived at the restaurant where we would meet. I took his number from Zandy and called him to talk about the restaurant that he and Zandy will build.Like I said to Zandy, I want to help him in whatever way I can. I don't know what I can do to help either, but I will try to make his long-time dream come true and I want to be with him in that success.Ton smiled at me, then sat down in the opposite seat from where I was sitting. "I didn't expect you to call me, Miles. So, what are we going to talk about?" Ton asked directly. "It's probably not about your relationship with Zandy, is it?" He laughed and bowed for a moment.I suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed because of Ton's last words. I was ashamed because I thought about Ton and Zandy such things. Zandy didn't explain either.I awkwardly smiled and looked at Ton shyly. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Ton if I thought badly of you." I avoided looking at him because of the shame I felt.
Zandy immediately pulled me closer to him when we got to his room. It seems that he was missing me so much because when we got out of the car, he immediately grabbed my arm and pulled me towards his room. I just hung on because I knew that I wanted the same thing to happen."What the hell, Zandy?" I was still weak when he kissed my neck. "I'm tickled," I said. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up because of what he did."What did you say? Zandy? Didn't I tell you that if you call me Zandy, I'll kiss you," he said when he stopped kissing my neck. "Call me Honey, anywhere and anytime, ok?""Ok, fine, I'm sorry," I said laughing."And as a punishment. I'll kiss you 'till the night ends," he threatened as his eyes seemed to sparkle. He pulled me even closer and I could feel his arm around my waist."That's the punishment I want from you, Honey," I said. I raised my arms and wrapped them around his neck as I looked up at him. I simply smiled. "I'm willing to take the punishment
"WHAT'S the plan, Miles? Next week would be your birthday, right?" Andrea said excitedly as we left the building. We just finished our work and we are all stressed from the amount of work. I want to rest my brain because I've used it all day.My eyes narrowed but my mouth parted and eventually smiled as I shook my head. I remembered that it's my birthday next week and that will be my thirtieth year in the world and just like they expected, the curse will be broken because I'm married."I forgot, Andrea," I confessed. "With so much happening, being so busy at work, I forgot that my birthday is next week," I said sadly."You're just distracted, Miles. Is that because of Beverly?" Melissa was curious. Just this morning, they bombarded me with a lot of questions about Zandy and me and Beverly's return. I didn't have a choice and because they were my friends, I admitted my real relationship with Zandy and about Beverly. Well, I'm not surprised by their reaction. I was almost deaf to their
67This morning, I woke up early for an unknown reason. The sun was barely rising but my eyes were wide open. I stretched as I yawned. I looked at the ceiling for a moment and couldn't help but smile when I remembered what Zandy said to Beverly the other day.My heart overflowed with joy and happiness because Zandy just proved that he would choose me even though Beverly was in front of him. Because of that, I'm sure of Zandy's feelings for me and I feel the same way. I have no more reason to doubt him and distrust him.I hugged the pillow tightly and screamed because of the thrill I feel every time I remember what Zandy said. That stuck in my mind and I will never forget it and I hope Beverly understands that.A few more moments, I decided to get up from my bed. I left the room. I was about to step down when I noticed Zandy standing on the terrace with his arm focused on the steel that acts as a terrace barrier. I frowned. I saw outside that it was still a little dark and the light wa
AFTER I got home from work, I immediately went up to the top of the house but I immediately stopped when I saw Zandy on the terrace looking seriously at the wide sky, obviously thinking deeply. I snorted and tilted my head slightly. I want to approach him and talk to him because I know he is thinking about what Uncle Andrew said to him this morning. He was speechless even before I went to work.I decided to change my clothes before I approached Zandy. I changed into a pajama suit and a t-shirt before leaving my room and approaching Zandy.I stopped for a moment and looked at his broad back. He didn't notice me because maybe he was deep in thought. I mustered up my courage and put aside my shyness. I approached him and slowly brought my hand closer until I could hug him from his back. I immediately smelled his sweet scent that I always wanted to smell.I felt his shock because of his slight flinch but he let me do what I was doing."You look so stressed, Honey," I said sadly. "You didn
I wasn't surprised when I woke up with a smile on my face. How light I feel and the surroundings. I stretched with a sweet smile on my lips, then excitedly hugged the pillow and rolled on the soft bed. Even in my dreams, the memory of Zandy never left me.I still can't get over what Zandy did and said to me last night to make Roven look like he already owns me. That keeps coming back to my mind and every time I think about it, I can't help but smile and thrill. Will I still doubt him when Zandy has proven that he deserves to be believed and trusted? But until now, I also think about Roven's situation but I know it is the best for both of us.I stared at the ceiling for a few more minutes. I was going crazy that even on the ceiling I could see Zandy's handsome face looking at me and smiling. My lips just smiled with excitement.There is no doubt that I feel for Zandy. I know I love him and I admit that to myself. I am ready to face the consequences.A few more moments, I blinked. I got
Zandy's POVI still can't avoid arguing with my parents about what they want me to do and what I want to do for myself. They are forcing me to work in a company where I know I am not meant for it. But because I'm an only child, I know I will come to a point where I have to enter the company but this time, I want to do what I want for myself first before I spend myself in the company and that's what they don't understand.But because of dad's decision, I can't do anything anymore. When the five months he gave me are up, I have to enter the company and put aside the restaurant first.The other day, mom and I argued again when she came to our house with Miles. I couldn't avoid not answering to defend my dream for myself which for them is meaningless but to me, it is very important because that makes me happy.I sighed while sitting on the sofa and holding my cellphone while playing with it. I don't know if I can build the restaurant in five months. Even with everything planned out, it's

But it cannot be hidden from me that Chad
