Liam's Apartment
After they registered their marriage certificate, Liam drove her home.
Matapos nitong i-park ang sasakyan sa gilid ng daan ay tumingin ito kay Natasha.
"Pack all your things that are only important." wika ni Liam.
"H-huh?" nagtatakang napatingin si Natasha rito.
"What? Are you not moving in my place?"
Natasha suddenly gets what he means. "Oh, okay." Saka niya inalis ang nakakabit na seatbelt sa kanyang katawan.
"You don't have to pack all your clothes," then tinitigan nito ang kabuoan ni Natasha. "Grandpa will question me if I will not treat you as one of the Cameron."
Napatingin si Natasha sa kanyang suot na damit. Then she realized that she's not as presentable as her mother-in-law. Dahil ang ina nito na si Linda ay elegante at presentable ang personalidad nito.
"Today, I invited a stylish expert to change the style of your closet. Maya maya darating na siya sa bahay."
Napalunok si Natasha at nakaramdam siya ng pangliit sa kanyang sarili. "Okay." tanging nasagot niya rito sa kabila ng kanyang nararamdaman.
Liam mockingly smirks. "Now that you have finally reached your goal, you better do whatever you want dahil may hangganan ang lahat." ang makahulugang wika ni Liam sa kanya.
Biglang napahinto si Natasha sa kanyang pagbaba ng sasakyan nito at saka niya ito nilingon.
"W-what do you mean?"
"Your title. Is it what you ever wanted? Now that it's finally yours for 2 years, well I must say... do whatever you want with my name and money." he sneered.
Naikuyom ni Natasha ang kanyang kamao sa sinabi nito at mas kumunot ang noo niya itong tinitigan.
"Liam, let me remind you. I only agree with this for grandpa. Huwag kang magalala dahil sa loob ng dalawang taon na kasunduan nating ito ay hinding hindi ko dudungisan ang pangalan mo! Lalo na ang lustayin ang pera mo. Also, I will find work and earn my money. Your money is yours, I don't need it and anything from you. Malaki lang talaga ang utang na loob ko kay Grandpa Mario kaya pinasok ko ang sitwasyong nating ito. And I promise, I will not ask for your money or your help." mahabang litanya ni Natasha bago pa siya bumaba sa sasakyan nito.
Liam was left alone in the car. His eyes glared at the woman's back entering the house.
"H-huh, you must be kidding me, Natasha." he sneered.
***
When Natasha gets inside the house, agad tumulo ang mumunting luha niya.
Hindi niya maintindihan kung anong galit ang mayroon si Liam para sa kanya. She can tell that Liam feels disgusted with her. Hindi niya alam kung bakit nasasabi nito ang mga iyon sa kanya.
Agad pinahid ni Natasha ang namamalisbis na luha sa kanyang mga mata at saka siya pumasok sa kanyang silid.
Naluluhang nag eempake si Natasha. Kaunting kagamitan lang ang dinala niya at iyon ay mga disenteng mga damit lang niya.
Napatingin si Natasha sa picture frame niya kasama ang kanyang lolo at lola niya. Inabot niya iyon at malungkot na hinaplos ng kanyang palad.
"Lolo, lola... Hindi ko akalain na darating ang araw na maghihiwalay tayong tatlo. Please, lolo, guide me especially si lola na nasa probinsya na sa ngayon. Huwag kang magalala lolo, kakayanin ko ang buhay na pinasok ko ngayon. I know and I'm sure that Liam is a good person. He will take care of me, and as his wife I will also take care of him." tanging naibulong na lang ni Natasha habang niyakap niya ng mahigpit sa huling sandali ang picture frame na iyon.
Natasha also packs and brings with her those important papers. Lalo at sa isang araw ay maghahanap na siya ng trabaho.
Alam niyang kaya siyang buhayin at suportahan ni Liam, but Natasha is ashamed to depend on her life with him. She promised him to earn her own money for herself, at paninindigan niya iyon.
Tahimik na hinihila ni Natasha ang maleta niya palabas ng bakuran ng bahay nila.
Pagkalagay niya sa compartment ng kotse nito ang kanyang bagahe ay muli siyang umupo sa harap ng sasakyan.
She was silent and she avoided looking at him. Naramdaman naman iyon ni Liam. Napansin rin nito ang pamumula ng bahagya ng mata niya.
Somehow, Liam is a bit guilty. He was guilty because of his harsh treatment of her.
Tahimik na lang din siyang nagmamaneho sa gitna ng kanilang byahe.
When the car finally parked at the high-end luxurious private apartment, Liam cleared his throat.
"This is my place. We will live here." ang pagbibigay alam nito.
The place is very elegant. Kitang kita na tanging mayayaman na tao lang ang nakakakuha ng bahay sa townhouse apartment na iyon.
Hindi kalakihan ang mga townhouse sa loob ng resident area doon, but Natasha was sure that that place is very peaceful, clean, nice and perfect. Gandang ganda siya at agad nagustuhan niya ang buong paligid.
Pagkababa nila ng kotse ay agad may sumalubong sa kanila na isang lalaki na naka office suit.
"Good morning Mr. And Mrs. Cameron," ang nakayukong pagbati nito.
Natasha was taken aback. She was confused; why did that man address her as the wife of Liam?
Seryosong tumango si Liam rito at saka sumulyap sa kanya.
"This is my assistant, Willy." wika nito.
Natasha nodded slightly. "Hello, Willy."
"Get her luggage in the compartment." utos ni Liam rito.
"Yes, Sir. Um, Sir... nasa loob na ng apartment niyo ang stylish expert. They are waiting."
Seryosong tango lang ang tugon ni Liam rito.
As soon as they entered the apartment, the stylish warmly greeted them.
Nakita agad ni Natasha ang napakaraming mga damit na naka-hanger. Iba't ibang klase ang mga iyon. There are simple and elegant gowns. Outdoor outfits, pants, shirt, casual dresses, house clothes, and also sleeping outfits.
"Give all the dresses and clothes that fit her. Also, do it every other end of the month."
"Yes, Mr. Cameron."
Natasha was shocked. Hindi pa siya nakakapagsalita nang umalis na si Liam sa kanilang harapan. Naramdaman na lang niya na hinila na siya ng stylish expert upang pilian ng mga damit na babagay sa kanya.
Masters BedroomThe stylish finally went out after they chose the right clothes for Natasha's wardrobe.Natasha heave a sigh of relief. Naupo siya sa gilid ng malaking kama habang nakatingin sa katulong na inaayos at isinalansan ang kanyang mga bagong damit.Kahit bahagyang malayo ay nakikita niya na halos napuno ang malaking closet. Napatingin si Natasha sa kanyang bagahe. She remembered her own decent clothes inside.Napapailing siya at nilapitan iyon at inakay patungong walk-in closet."Ma'am Natasha, tapos ko na hong ma-arrange ang mga bagong damit n'yo. May gusto ho ba kayong ipagawa sa akin?" tanong nito at napasulyap sa bagahe niya.Natasha shook her head. "No. And you can leave me now."Magalang naman itong tumango. "Sige ho, Ma'am.""Anyway, thank you." nakangiti niyang pasasalamat rito."You are welcome, Ma'am." At tuluyan na itong lumabas.Walang inaksayang oras si Natasha at isinalansan at itinabi na agad niya ang kanyang mga damit sa bagong mga damit niya.Nang matapos si
First KissNagpasya na lang siyang talikuran ito at pumasok ng banyo. He thinks, he needs a cold shower dahil hindi maikakailang naguumpisang manginit ang kanyang diwa.Unti-unti namang naalimpungatan si Natasha sa kanyang pagkakaidlip sa sofa. Unti-unting bumuka ang kanyang mga mata. She still feels sleepy at that time.Nang narinig niya ang kaluskos sa pagbukas ng bathroom doorknob, napalingon siya roon at biglang nawala ang kanyang kaantukan. Bigla rin siyang napaupo ng diretso sa sofa.'Shit!' Napamura siya sa kanyang isipan sa pagkakagulat. Paanong hindi siya magigising ng tuluyan if Liam was half naked. He was fresh from the shower as he walked out from the bathroom. Nakatapis ito ng puti na towel habang nagpupunas ito ng basang buhok gamit rin ang puti na tuwalya.Agad iniiwas ni Natasha ang kanyang namumulang pisngi ng napadako ang mga mata ni Liam sa kanyang direksyon."You are awake," ang sabi nito habang nakatitig sa kanya."Hmm," nakatangong sagot ni Natasha na halos hindi
No ChanceLiam pursed his lips and he finally let go of her slender waist. Natasha immediately flew into the walk-in closet as if he were a very scary ghost.Liam narrowed his eyes while eyeing Natasha, who was looking for a set of house clothes for him in the wardrobe.Lumapit siya sa likuran nito ng hindi siya nito napapansin. Nakita niya ng hilahin nito ng marahan ang kulay grey na tshirt at sweatshort na kulay itim.Liam silently reached his brief, nasa likod pa rin siya ni Natasha.Natasha instantly gulped deeply. She feels goosebumps again. Pigil hininga habang nakatingin siya sa kulay tan nitong braso. Mas kumislot ang dibdib niya ng makita niya kung ano ang inaabot ng kamay nito.Namumulang iniiwas niya ang kanyang mga mata sa kulay itim na brief nito."Don't tell me you forget this?" Liam said. Not minding the closeness of his body against her.Hindi sumagot si Natasha, hindi rin siya gumalaw lalo at nararamdaman niya ang pagsusuot nito ng brief habang nasa likod lang niya it
Study RoomIginugol agad ni Natasha ang kanyang sarili at buong oras sa harap ng kanyang old model laptop. Nasa loob lang siya ng silid. Sa may sofa at coffee table.Gumagawa agad siya ng updated resume at saka ang kanyang sample dress layout na ipapakita sa kanyang paghahanap ng trabaho.Natasha has three company appointments confirmed. Lahat ng iyon ay pupuntahan niya sa loob ng isang araw. Titingnan niya kung saan sa tatlo siya matatanggap. Those fashion clothing companies are also a well known company.Natasha wants to be one of their clothing designers. Ang pangarap talaga niya ay magsimula ng sarili niyang brand clothing company. But of course, she needs to start from scratch. Isa pa wala pa siyang pera para gawin iyon but if there is someone who can support her magagawa niya ang gusto niya. Kaso wala, at wala pa rin siyang napapatunayan sa larangan na iyon.So, how can she start from her own brand kung wala pa siyang naipakitang galing.Nang matapos si Natasha ay papadilim na a
Pinned DownWhen the newly married couple is done with their dinner, bumalik muli si Liam sa study room nito.Natasha goes back to the Masters bedroom. Inayos niya ang lahat ng kanyang kakailanganin kinaumagahan sa kanyang paga-apply.After she is done, pumasok siya sa bathroom at nagbabad sa warm shower. She wants to rest early para bukas fresh at buo ang sigla niya sa kanyang pupuntahan.Pagkatapos niyang ibalot sa puti na tuwalya ang kanyang basa na katawan ay lumabas siya sa bathroom habang pinapatuyo ang buhok sa puti rin na tuwalya.Ngunit sa kanyang paglabas ng bathroom ay siya namang pagpasok ni Liam sa loob ng master bedroom.Biglang napalunok ng mariin si Natasha ng maglapat ang mga mata nila ni Liam. Natasha wants to go back inside the bathroom, hindi niya akalain na papasok ng ganoong oras at kadali si Liam sa silid. She thought Liam was busy in his paperwork.Parang itinulos na kandila sa kinakatayuan niya si Natasha. Nataranta ang kanyang diwa ng unti-unting gumalaw at h
PleasurableNatasha's body froze upon hearing it. Mariin rin siyang napalunok habang kumurap-kurap ang kanyang mga mata.A chills down her spine when Liam's warm breath is brushing under her skin. Mas napalunok siya ng mariin ng dilaan nito ang kanyang tenga."You have no right to refuse what will happen to us tonight, Natasha." bulong nito at pinagpatuloy pa rin nito ang ginagawa.Mariing napapikit si Natasha. Her heart hammered nonstop inside her chest.'Liam...' Ang tanging bulong ng kanyang puso ng unti-unti ng lumakbay ang labi nito sa kanyang pisngi patungo sa kanyang labi.Liam hungrily kissed her lips. Nakapikit pa rin siya habang nilalasap nito ang kanyang labi. Hindi nagtagal ay kinagat nito ng ang kanyang labi. There, Natasha opened her mouth and Liam attacked her mouth.Napaungol ng bahagya si Natasha ng sakupin nito ang kanyang loob ng bibig lalo na ng tudyuin nito ang kanyang dila at saka s******n.Napaungol muli si Natasha kasabay ng paggalaw ng magkabila niyang mga bras
DarlingNatasha winced in too much pain. Hindi maipinta ang buong mukha niya dahil sa sakit na kanyang naramdaman ng pumasok na ito sa kanya. Hinahabol niya ang kanyang hininga at mariin rin siyang napapapikit habang nakabaon ang kanyang mga kuko sa magkabilang nalikat nito.Liam stopped pushing the half of his length into Natasha's entrance. Alam na alam niyang siya ang makakauna sa pagkababae ni Natasha. Of course, Natasha is a very obedient woman. Wala siyang nababalitaan na nakikipag relasyon ito habang nagaaral noon. He knew it because of his grandfather. Kahit sa dami ng nakapilang manliligaw ay ni isa wala itong sinagot. Maybe, Natasha only likes one person, and it's only him.At the thought of Natasha's first time... somehow, Liam feels proud of it dahil siya ang inalayan nito niyon."You may feel the pain now because this is your first time. But, when you adjust with my shaft, like what happened when I finger fucking you... you will surely feel the unending pleasure more than
All Yours"Alright, as you wished," Liam said as he kissed deeply and as he moved slowly inside her.Napapaigik si Natasha dahil sa paggalaw ni Liam sa loob niya. Mariin siyang pumikit. Mariin rin niyang tinugon ang halik nito habang ang kuko niya ay unti-unti nang bumaon sa likod nito.Liam tried his best not to move fast. He makes sure to move that only Natasha can handle the pain. Hirap na hirap siya sa kanyang pagpipigil na bilisan ang kanyang kilos but staring at Natasha's pained reaction, he knew she still cannot handle his size."It is really painful, but later on, it will be gone." He said as he moved in and out slowly."I—It's fine. Go on, just continue. I know, I can get used to it later." At mariing sinipsip ni Natasha ang labi at dila ni Liam.Liam became more aroused because of what Natasha did. Natasha didn't know how much he endured to take her hard. Hindi nito alam na sa ginagawa nito ay mas tumindi ang pagnanasa niyang angkinin ito ng mariin at mabilis.Liam is still h
Newfound FriendSania and Roda are still not moving. As if, nakatitig lang sila kay Natasha.Natasha frowned. "Hey." tawag niyang muli sa dalawa."Ah, y-yes..." Sabay na reak ng dalawa at lumapit na sila kay Natasha.Natasha looks at Roda. Napapansin kasi niya na masyado itong mahiyaan. Kaya kahit nakikipagusap ito o humaharap sa tao ay nakayuko ito."Roda," tawag niya rito.Rod was about to bow her head but Natasha held it. Napasinghap naman si Roda kaya mas yumuko ito."Roda, if you always do this hobby, everyone looks down on you. They also mock you and, worst, bully you." Natasha said at unti-unti niyang inangat ang nakayukong mukha nito.Roda blinked her beautiful eyes. She really feels uncomfortable. "I'm shy and I'm used to it." She said at pilit yumuyuko."What are you shy off? Look, there's nothing wrong with your face. You are good-looking; why are you always on your head down?" Natas still held her chin."E-eh...""No. You should change it. From now on, practice to have the
Lunch break"Alright, everyone, you may take your lunch now," Ruby said and stood up.Ruby was the first who exited the conference room followed by others.Roda and Sania stand and come near Natasha.Olga, Jelly, Larry and Vina, who are working on Endi's masterpiece, were also there.The four cross their arms. Tatlong babae at isang binabae ang nakatingin kay Natasha. They are smiling, but the smile on their face is not a friendly one but it's more likely they are mocking Natasha.Sania frowned, Roda looked shy and just vowed her head. Natasha stays calm and ignores the four."I'm very curious. Kaya mo kayang matapos ang tatlong design na tatlo lang kayo?" Olga spoke, and it sure was that she was talking to Natasha.Natasha's eyebrow twitched. She stands gracefully from her seat. "Hmm." Her short response.Napaangat ang kilay ng apat sa sagot niya. The four of them sizing her up. In the looks of it, those employees are not up to a good.Larry slowly moved forward. "Hmm?"Natasha opene
VolunteerRuby came back to her department, and she immediately called all her 14 employees. They all gather in their conference room.Nang kumpleto na ang lahat sa malaking conference room ay agad nang inumpisahan ni Ruby ang kanyang tema."Good morning everyone, this is just a quick meeting," saka napatingin si Ruby sa lahat.Tumango naman ang lahat, isa na roon si Natasha na nakaupo sa pinakadulo. Katabi niya si Sania at ang isang close friend nitong si Roda."Alright, let me start this sudden meeting. I called you here because I just came back to the CEO's office. May napag-usapan kami na tungol sa upcoming D.L fashion events."Nagtataka bigla ang lahat. They listen very seriously. Natasha was also serious."Yes, if you all remember, Mrs. Tolentino and I showed you the masterpiece of Endi's yesterday?" tumango ang lahat. "Since Natasha Diaz is a newly hired Fashion Designer, I made a decision that I want her to work with Endi's design," Ruby paused for a moment and stared at Natas
Settled"Because it's not fair. Didn't it become questionable to the two designers who became unlucky if we were going to remove their efforts to participate in these fashion events? If we do that, it may cause discord with our designers because they think their design is inferior to Natasha's designs. Hence, Natasha is just a new employee and new graduate student yet we give her more importance than the previous one. It's impossible to replace. That's why, we need only one." Ruby said seriously.Davis remained silent.Rahna sighed. She is unwilling. As a business minded, alam na alam niya na mas papatok ang design ni Natasha. If they will include it in the show, for sure their company profit will soar to the extent."Alright, let's choose one, but let us include the other two designs. Ipasok pa rin natin ito sa fashion events as a special limited edition dress. How about that?" Rahna said unwilling to waste Natasha's design.Ruby slightly frowns. "Well, it depends on you and Mr. Ceo.
ReplaceNatasha already expected it, but she didn't think highly of herself.Why?That's because she didn't really expect the chief designer to acknowledge her three designs.Isa lang ang kailangan niyang ipa-approve rito but it shows that she approves it all.Natasha suddenly smiled. "Thank you, Ma'am."Biglang sumeryoso si Ruby. At that time she showed seriousness. "Well, I will discuss this first with Mr. And Mrs. Tolentino. Let's see if they will approve of these drawings." She said."Oh, right, ma'am. Please, let me know if they approve one of my drawings. So that I will immediately start making the dress.""Okay, just wait for my advice.""Yes. Um, balik na ho ako sa office ko, ma'am." Tumango si Natasha rito saka humanda ng umalis."Um, wait, Natasha."Natasha stopped on her track and faced Ruby again. "Yes, ma'am?""I just noticed, you are quite special to our big bosses. Are you related to them?" tanong ni Ruby sa kanya.Natasha shakes her head. "No, ma'am.""Hmm... But they g
Very UniqueLiam's hands froze as he heard Natasha say it. Natasha blinked her eyes and just looked at his expression."I—I'm really on my period."Liam withdrew his hands and turned expressionless."You don't believe me?" Natasha spoke again when Liam didn't say anything.Liam sighed deeply as if he was disappointed. "Sleep," he says only one word.Natasha didn't know if he believed or not at her. Pero ayaw na niya iyong isipin pa.She smiled tiredly and yawned, then said, "But if you like it that much, I have a way to help you."Liam stared at her tired expression. "Forget it. Now, go sleep." He said again.Natasha obediently nodded. Dahil sa pagod at antok niya sa mga sandaling iyon ay hindi na niya itutuloy ang nasa isip niya."Alright, good night." she smiled and dared to peck at Liam's lips. Saka siya tumalikod rito na hindi tinitingnan ang reaksyon nito.Liam was speechless and just looked at Natasha's back facing him.Hindi alam ni Liam kung bakit bigla siyang nakaramdam ng pag
My PeriodAfter working hours, Natasha got home at five thirty in the afternoon.Pagkauwi niya ng bahay ay nagbihis lang siya saglit saka siya pumasok sa workroom niya at saka niya sinimulan muli ang pagguhit.Natasha was in her second dress when Ayda knocked on her workroom to inform her that the dinner was ready.Natasha leaves her work aside and then comes down to take her dinner.Pagkaupo niya, napansin niyang isa lang ang nakalagay na pinggan sa lamesa."How about Liam?" tanong niya kay Ayda."Ma'am, tumawag si Sir sa telepono kanina, late na raw siyang uuwi. Kaya isang plato lang ang nilagay ko."Natasha reached her phone. She feels disappointed, there's no text message. Mabuti pa ang simcard operator ay may text message sa kanya.She sighed.'What would I expect that he will inform me? In your dreams, Nat.' Natasha thought to herself."Okay, um, tara Ate Ayda, samahan mo ho akong mag dinner."Ayda looks surprised. She shook her head. "Sorry, Ma'am. Hindi ko ho mapagbibigyan ang
Negative VibesRahna sighed. Hindi talaga sana niya hahayaan ang kaibigan na si Ruby na ganoon ang pagtrato nito kay Natasha, but what she can do, lalo at nangako siya kay Natasha na walang makakaalam ng sekreto nito.Well, she believes in Natasha. Alam niyang sa bandang huli, titingalain at hahangaan siya ng mga katrabaho niya sa design department. Hindi lang sa department nito kundi sa buong D.L fashion."Rahna, Natasha, come. Let's discuss Endi's masterpiece with others outside. Dahil inayawan ito ni Natasha, ibibigay ko sa iba ang gagawa ng actual milktea dress by this famous Endi.""Okay. Nat, let's go outside with your superior." Rahna said.Natasha nodded obediently. She moves and she takes the initiative to open the door of her office. Gumilid siya at pinauna niya ang mga ito na lumabas.Ruby gets the attention of all the employees under her department and supervision. Tumayo naman ang lahat at lumapit riro.Si Natasha bilang bagong empleyado at wala pang kakilala ay gumilid si
Refuse The OrderNatasha silently wanders her eyes on her private working space. Katulad ng surpresa sa kanya ni Liam, ganoon rin kalaki at kumpleto rin ng kagamitan ang office niya roon sa D.L."Do you like the arrangement I did to your office, Ms. Natasha?" tanong ni Ruby sa kanya.Natasha nodded."Good that you like it, Nat. Pero sabihin mo sa akin ano ang kulang sa office mo. So that, I will quickly provide it for you." Rahna said generously to her."There's nothing. Thanks ma'am Rahna and ma'am Ruby for this nice office. I will promise to work hard in this company." she said politely.Ruby slightly wondering. Rahna is her close friend, ngunit hindi niya alam kung bakit ganoon na lang ang pagbibigay nito ng importansya sa bagong empleyado nila. She wanted to know why, and asked her. But, she was unwilling to do so. Gusto niyang ito mismo ang magkukusang magsabi niyon sa kanya."Oh, Ruby, did you remember that milk tea inspired dress by, Endi?" Rahna opened the topic about it while
