Richard’s POV Having pulled her into my hands, I felt her arms wrapped around me in a tight embrace as I tried to figure out how I got here.I never had the intention of getting intimate with Vanessa.It’s just a hug, chill out big man.My body was starting to respond to just how her body fit perfectly into mine and I couldn’t get to wrap my head around it. My hormones were running wild and I’m currently imagining the things I could do to this tiny body right now.I gently removed her from my body before my dick think for me and held her face up to wipe off her tears with the back of my hand.I led her to one of the sofas facing her kitchen directly and sat her down there. Kneeling before her, I looked up to her face and smiled at her. I could swear something happened to me when she smiled back. I just can’t explain the feelings.“Why didn’t you told me my mom invited you to her restaurant?” I went into the kitchen to fix her something to eat.“It doesn’t matter, it happened a long ti
Vanessa'sPOVAfter the little outburst between I and His royal highness, we never talked that much ever again.He'll only call during the day to ask how the "baby" was doing and remind me of my checkups at the hospital. I'm actually grateful that he's staying on his own lane because I was about to go crazy enough to hit him.Gratefully, he hasn't said anything about my workplace.Even after Dae moved out days ago, I still find it difficult to inform him of the new development because I know how he'll start grumbling about how it's not safe for me to stay alone in the house. It's a two bedroom apartment for Christ's sake.I was almost closing at work when I saw Michael walk into the place with a suit on and I swear I'm drooling, I can never get enough of this guy's cuteness. Scratch that. Hotness"Well, what's the occasion? you look great" I praised and he smiled. God, that smile."Had a meeting with some investors and it was a success. I can get open two new cafes around town""Wow, th
Vanessa’s POV "Good morning Nancy, Drake, Kelvin, Liza and finally good morning Michael" I greeted everyone as I entered into the restaurant to resume for the day's work. It's been two months since I walked into the restaurant looking for a job and fortunately enough that I got one.Even though the pregnancy was starting to show, it was still a little bump that can be pass for normal. Everyone had been nice enough to work with except for Nancy, there's always a witch in the castle, right? I'm not all that surprised about her behavior, I've been with people like her in the past."Good morning, Essa" they all chorused back. I got the name Essa two days after I started working here, they were all complaining about how Vanessa was too long for them to pronounce, therefore decided to shorten the name to Essa."See me in my office with the account book within ten minutes, I need to clear somethings out" Michael instructed before going into his office without waiting for my response.I guess
Vanessa'S POV"That was one hell of a stunt you pulled yesterday, I guess I underestimated you. You're crazier than you look Vanessa""What do you want? Demon"It was a weekend which means a work free day and I was enjoying my sleep before the devil decided to pay me a visit, knocking on my door so hard it could break. He’s the last person I wanted to see so early in the morning and with him being here, I can say partially I’m sad and on the other hand, sad! "Let me in" he said and I pushed the door towards him more trying to close it.I frowned at his act and glared at him but he just wasn’t getting the message. "Get the message boss, you're not wanted" I was too tired to allow him inside because he'll definitely complain about something and I'm seriously not in the mood for an argument today."I'm not here for you in any way, I'm here for the baby" I finally succumbed and opened the door for him.He strode into the house as if he owned the place. I almost banged a wood on his head
Vanessa's POV"Good morning, Vanessa" It has been two days since I moved into Richard's luxurious apartment that was gracious enough to have a jacuzzi and a swimming pool just at the backyard of the house. The. Inner view was stunning. It left me speechless after I saw the house for the first time."Hope your night was perfect?" I looked at him weirdly before dropping my bag on the table that was in the kitchen."More like you wish I died in my sleep, right?" He places the coffee mug that was in his hand on the table and shrugged."I'm not that evil, Vanessa""Says the man who manipulated me into signing a contract and still use every opportunity he gets to blame me for signing the stupid contract" I knew bringing up that topic will cause n early morning ruckus but I needed him to know that I will always be angry at him."Are we going down that lane this morning? It's Monday for Christ sake Vanessa and even though you behaved as if I didn't exist throughout the whole weekend, can't we
This chapter has mature scenes, read at your own risk?, I won't be responsible for any of my actions on this ??.I might end up removing this chapter though.Vanessa's POVAfter our little "usual" argument a while ago, I decided not to leave the room, until it was few minutes midnight when I decided to stop punishing the baby by not feeding myself.I was craving some ice cream and I remember Richard stocking up the fridge with various flavors Incase I craved one.I left the room and headed to the kitchen. I put on the light and opened the fridge to search for a chocolate flavor and when I got it, I looked for a spoon and settled on the chair behind the kitchen counter to have some and later eat some Pringle before going to bed.I heard footsteps and before I could find a way to leave the kitchen, the demon appeared in front of me even before I could blink."I see that you decided to leave your room finally" I stood up from the chair to exit the kitchen so as to avoid another round of a
Vanessa's POV"Let me help you with your seat belt, I know you're too local to handle something like this" Richard mocked with an evil smirk on his face.After staying at his house for what seemed like years even though it's been for three months, I've tried my best to ignore his wrath and mad attitude.I've also learned to warm up to him, understand him for who he really us but not accept the mad attitude in him.We never mentioned what happened that night, both of us pretended it never happened and moved on."This is your first time in a plane, right?" He asked. We are currently on our way to his country as per the request from his father."If your brain had been working instead of mocking me, you'll know that I didn't fly or crawl all the way from the Philippines" I retreated into my space to ignore him for the rest of the flight."Little Miss Smarty pants, you could have explained in clear words""I'm too tired for your troubles today and that doesn't mean we won't talk about the
This chapter is dedicated to Eleanor... thank you so much for staying with me through the process of writing this book. I love ya❤️Vanessa'sPOVI woke up to hear my phone ringing, not bothering to look at the screen, I picked up the call"Good morning Essa, how was your night?" I removed the phone from my ear to see who the caller was and I realized it's Michael. He was really helpful during the process of looking for a new apartment and when I finally found the one I love and could afford, the previous tenant refused to move out. Gladly, I'll move into my new apartment next week."Hey Michael, good morning to you too. My night was okay, thank you""How's Richard?""You're just being polite, you don't like him that much to ask about him" I could hear his laughter from the other end of the line."Why will I hate my own cousin? That's totally unfair, Essa. You just broke my heart" I imagined him placing his hand on his chest."It's the truth, it's not like you really like him that much"
