After the dinner ended, James drove the car over and came to pick Serene and Steve after they had bade the old chairman farewell. The car was awkwardly silent all through the drive back to the apartment. No one uttered a word till the car halted in front of Steve's apartment and they got out. Serene quietly walked behind Steve as he took long strides into the house. She did not know why it felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles behind him. She was nervously staring at his back. She could not tell why but his attitude towards her since the evening was so cold and unusual. It made her feel uneasy. Serene mindlessly walked behind him until they got to the bedroom. Steve did not even give her a chance to react when he suddenly turned around and in the next second, his sturdy arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to his body. Her body jolted and she froze from the sudden contact. "W-what are you doing?" She stuttered. Her voice came out as a tiny squeak that she
Serene's attention quickly drifted to the direction of her phone. She brought it out of the small purse that was with her and clicked the answer button. She did not even check who it was before she picked the call. "Hello" she voiced and pressed the phone to her ear. "Where did you go today?" A sweet feminine voice reached her ear and she froze. She was familiar with the caller's voice and of course, she was could guess who it was already. "Amy" she uttered with a bit of uncertainty. "Ah, Miss Serene. You are just as smart as I remember you to be. Even though I switched number, you can still recognize me. That is good" Amy voiced, a hint of laughter sounded in her voice as she spoke. Serene's face remained expressionless, she merely made a nasal sound in response. "So… since you already know who it is that a calling, I want to know how our deal is going. Are you playing my role properly?" Amelia snickered lightly and questioned. The light in Serene's eyes dimmed involuntarily,
Serene opened her eyes at dawn according to her registered body alarm. She had not been able to sleep the entire night and the dark circles around her eyes were obvious. A light yawn slipped past her lips and she tried to lift her hands but she found out that she could not. She frowned and slanted her head. Her eyes fell on a slightly opened chest that was revealed to her eyes. Her eyes popped open instantly, they enlarged almost to the size of a saucepan. She wanted to run away but she found out that she was trapped in those scalding embrace. She looked at him carefully and saw that his eyes were still closed, probably he was still asleep. She inhaled deeply and tried her best to calm her palpitating heart. She raised her hand that was not trapped in his arms and touched his hand that was wrapped around her waist. Her thoughts were that if she could peer his hand away from her waist, she would be able to slip away from him. Everything she could think about at that moment was how s
Steve's POV.I pressed down against her soft body, it was almost as though I was cuddling a human pillow. Her sweet fragrance filled by nose. It jerked my froze heart awake and I could hear my heart beating and rocking hard against my ribcage. I have never felt so alive in all my years of existence. I peered down at the woman who was struggling in my hands, her eyes were closed and her face were thoroughly flushed. Even the shade of a ripe tomato could not be compared to the taint on her cheeks. It was at the moment that I know what I really wanted. This woman, I did not intend to ever let her go. I lowered my body again and kissed her tender lips once again. Her lips were simply so soft that I just want to keep biting. Like grapes, the sweetness melted in my mouth, I sucked and swallowed. "Mhm…" she sighed softly. Her sweet noise cause a pool of warmth to rush to my groins. I inhaled deeply and ground my teeth. I can feel my veins pounding with aggressive blood. My blood became h
After she escaped his clutches and rushed into the kitchen, Serene's mind was constantly filled with the flashes from the kissing scene. Her face was tainted with a bright shade of pink and she seemed to be in a daze. She did not even realize when she took out the vegetables from the refrigerator and how she began cooking. Her heart was pounding within her chest and her head was messy. She could not think properly. The kissing scene kept on reoccurring in her mind and she swallowed. She picked up a carrot and stood blankly without cutting it. Why did he kiss me? Was the question that she kept on asking herself over and over again. She did not even find an answer to it instead, it was the man's face that popped into her mind. The feeling of not being able to control her thoughts was becoming scarier. She raised her hand and touched her lips slightly, she flinched. It was almost as though she could feel the surreal sensation from the moment he kissed her again. "What are you doing?
Amelia sat in front of the dressing table, sh looked like she had just returned from a show and was planning to take off her makeup but for some reason, she seemed to be in a daze. She pressed her lips together to from a straight line and she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her mind suddenly felt messy and she had so much bothering her. She furtowed her brows and looked down thoughtfully. This uneasiness that she was feeling…She was getting more and more agitated and she did not know what to do about it. Something in her guts makes her feel like something is wrong somewhere. She inhaled deeply and then sighed, when really did not want to make assumptions. However, she also pondered if what she was thinking about really happens. She is clenched her fist and a flash of cold glinted in her orbs. While she was lost in her thoughts, the door of the private dressing room was opened. She was so distracted that she did not even notice the arrival of her assistant. "Amy, the van
Serene dropped the wooden comb on the dressing table and her eyes flickered to her reflection on the mirror. She looked at herself one last time and a tiny smile curled up on her face. She was satisfied with herself and she stood up. She looked around and picked her phone. Then, she stuffed it into a small purse. Seeing that she was through with dressing, she walked out of the room. She was planning to visit her brother in the hospital. She had not been able to visit him lately but Steve suddenly went on a three days business trip and was not back yet, she decided to take up the opportunity to visit her little brother. She reached the living room and just as she was about to open the door, a knock was heard from outside. Her heart skipped a bit and her body stilled. Who could it be? She wondered. She knew that it can not be Steve, he was away and would not be returning until the next two days. There was no other person that she could think of. Before Steve left, he had already war
"We are here, madam" the middle-aged man voiced. Serene raised her head and her eyes widened. Where in the world had she come to?! She yelled in her heard when she saw the vast green area, she saw a few old men hanging around the place holding some sort of sticks and a familiar white ball. She had almost even forgotten about the reason that she was there when she looked at the vast land. Who would have thought that behind the mansion, something like this existed?!The golf course was unexpectedly large, it occupied a vast area of land and it stretched over with a green grass carpet. She saw a few of the old men in the area hitting the golf ball with the stick and looking expectantly as it rolled into the hole. It was this scene that she saw and it made her slightly lost."Old Chairman, it looks like your granddaughter-in-law that you invited has arrived!" The sudden announcement cause Serene to snap out of her thoughts and she trembled slightly. Ah, she had arrived…How could she
