Hazel's shock rendered her momentarily frozen as Francisco's kiss engulfed her with an intensity she hadn't anticipated. She attempted to push him away, but his hold on her was firm, his kiss deep and relentless.With one hand wrapped around her waist and the other gripping her neck, Francisco's embrace grew more possessive with each passing moment. Hazel's attempts to break free were futile against his overpowering strength, his kiss leaving her breathless and disoriented.Desperate to escape, Hazel pushed against Francisco's chest, but he only tightened his grip, consumed by a primal desire that drove him to madness. His lips left hers, trailing a path of fiery kisses along her neck, each touch igniting a spark of desire within her.Their breath mingled in the air, heavy with the heat of passion as Hazel struggled to regain her composure. But Francisco's hold on her only grew stronger, his hands enveloping her as if unwilling to let her slip away.Hazel's resistance waned as she fel
Hazel's mind was in turmoil as she sought refuge in the solitude of the bathroom. With trembling hands, she locked the door behind her, desperate for a moment of respite from the chaos that consumed her.Collapsing onto the cold tile floor, Hazel cradled her head in her hands, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. She felt like a mess, her emotions raw and unfiltered as she struggled to make sense of the whirlwind of sensations that assaulted her."He..." Hazel uttered, her voice barely above a whisper, her words trailing off into the silence of the room.Summoning all her strength, Hazel stood up on shaky legs and turned on the shower, the sound of rushing water filling the room. Stepping beneath the stream, she allowed the coldness to wash over her, hoping to numb the pain that gnawed at her insides.The water cascaded down her body, soaking her bathrobe and revealing the contours of her figure beneath. Her nipples hardened against the fabric, a physical reminder of the tumultuous emot
The next morning, Francisco sat at the breakfast table, his usual calm demeanor belying the storm of emotions raging within him. But as he glanced around the room, he noticed Hazel's absence, her usual seat empty beside him. Concern furrowed his brow as he turned to Lily, the maid attending to their needs. "Where is she?" he inquired, his tone measured but tinged with worry. "Master, she said she was not hungry," Lily replied, her voice soft and deferential. Francisco's brows knit together in frustration. "So you just listen to what she said?" he questioned, his patience beginning to wear thin. Lily hesitated for a moment before responding, "No... she asked for some privacy too, sir." A heavy sigh escaped Francisco's lips as he processed the information. "Won't she come down as well?" he inquired, his voice tinged with concern. Lily lowered her gaze, her expression troubled. "I... I don't think so. She was not in a good mood," she admitted quietly. Francisco leaned back in his
Outside the Logan apartment, Rafael stood watchful, his keen eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of movement. His gaze lingered on the entrance, where he spotted Logan, who seemed to have deviated from his usual routine of heading to the office. Rafael's instincts told him that Mr. Logan had likely caught wind of something significant.However, Rafael knew that he couldn't approach Logan directly, not with Francisco's men stationed outside the apartment, keeping a vigilant watch. Despite the risks, Rafael remained determined to find a way to gather information and potentially confront Logan about Hazel's predicament.Meanwhile, Robert, Rafael's trusted ally, approached him with coffee mugs, a gesture of camaraderie amidst the tense atmosphere. "What are you thinking?" Robert inquired, his voice laced with concern.Rafael accepted the mug gratefully, taking a sip before responding. "I should go there," he stated firmly, his resolve unwavering despite the dangers lurking nearby.
Logan's stern voice cut through the tension, demanding an answer. "Who are you?"Rafael felt the weight of Logan's suspicion bearing down on him. He searched for words to maintain his facade, but Logan's observation shattered his pretense."Your box has no sticker or logo of any company," Logan pointed out, his tone unyielding.With a heavy sigh, Rafael realized the charade was over. He reached up and removed his cap, along with the fake mustache, revealing his true identity. "Uncle!"As recognition dawned upon her, Doris's tone softened. "Rafael, it's you," she exclaimed, her eyes widening with realization.Sensing the need for privacy, Logan swiftly pulled the curtain shut, shielding them from prying eyes. With a sense of urgency, he turned to Rafael, his expression a mix of concern and curiosity. "Rafael, what is happening?" he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency."What happened to our daughter?" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion.Rafael said, "Uncle, it has a long stor
Amidst the pulsating lights and thumping beats of Xero's club, Andrew and James found themselves immersed in a world of decadence and debauchery. Surrounded by business associates and fellow revelers, they sought solace in the haze of alcohol and the rhythm of the dance floor. But for Andrew, the allure of the club was not in the pursuit of pleasure or camaraderie. Instead, it served as a sanctuary for his simmering anger, a place to release the pent-up frustrations that gnawed at his soul. With a swift motion, he downed his drink in one gulp, slamming the glass onto the table with a forceful clang. "I just wanted to dance with her," Andrew seethed, his voice laced with bitterness and resentment. "But he... he forgets who I am." His words hung heavy in the air, a raw expression of the betrayal and rejection that had fueled his anger. With a clenched jaw and furrowed brow, he unleashed his frustrations upon the unsuspecting table, a physical manifestation of his simmering rage. Mean
In the hushed confines of Francisco's meeting room, the air hung heavy with tension as his phone vibrated incessantly, each buzz a silent intrusion on the proceedings.

Sensing the growing discomfort, one member dared to speak up, his voice tentative amidst the palpable tension."Sir, I think someone is calling you," he ventured, his words a hesitant interruption in the midst of Francisco's discourse.Francisco's response was measured, his tone calm but tinged with a hint of impatience."So?" he replied, his gaze unwavering as he dismissed the interruption with a wave of his hand."It's my phone. I will receive it when I want."The member faltered under Francisco's gaze, unsure of how to proceed in the face of his boss's un

They ruined your valuable time," she offered, her voice tinged with regret.But Francisco's response was immediate and unwavering."It's nothing. As long as you are happy, I am happy," he reassured her.Hazel, however, seemed preoccupied, her mind racing with unspoken concerns.
