-------------
I decided to not go back to the office. Robbie and I had lunch then coffee and I asked him to stroll at the park near the coffee shop. It was late in the afternoon and the air was cool which was a nice time to amble.He was so nice that he didn't force me to tell him about Trevor. He said that I could always tell him everything whenever I was ready. According to him, my being with him like this was more than enough for him. He was actually a nice guy but he was so persistent. His kind was a major turn off. I didn't like men who were willing to give me even the moon. I felt like I would be bored to death if I would be in a relationship with such a man. That was one of the reasons why I disliked Trevor years ago. My friends knew how unpleasant I found him so they dared me to make him my boyfriend and the rest was history. Thanks to them I was now in this mess with my ex."A penny for your thoughts?" Robbie joked as we started to walk to his car.I smiled and sighed. It was time to tell him about my crazy ex."I apologize for what happened at the office. I am not sure if Alice told you...""About your ex Trevor Samaniego?" he asked with a smile which wasn't reaching his eyes.We stopped in front of his car. He leaned his back against the vehicle and he extended his arm and hand to me. I raised mine and he gently pulled me nearer and asked me to lean on the car like him. I crossed my arms on my chest when we were side by side. Our eyes were on people walking at the park."He doesn't act like he is your ex," he commented with a dry tone.I let out a light laugh. "Sorry about that. He had become more confident. He is doing that to annoy me. Don't put too much in it. He annoys me to get back at me somehow." I explained."I don't think that's the only reason. Just be more careful Chrissy. He seems to be dangerous. Alice's description of him years ago doesn't seem to fit him. He is the exact opposite from what I had witnessed."I turned to look at him. His eyes were on me. They look sad and worried."I will be okay don't worry." I reassured him.He smiled. " Alice has been telling me that you don't like men who are too persistent. I am sorry but I couldn't seem to stop pursuing you. I have been vocal on how much I want you to be my girl, Chrissy. Won't you give me a chance?" he asked and his voice was almost begging.I really looked at him. Yes why not? He had a stable job and Alice said he was a responsible man. He was a good boyfriend material. I smiled at him.--------"You seem to haven't stopped grinning." I teased .Robbie was driving me home. We are near my apartment."Can you blame me?" he asked still beaming as he turned to me.He took my hand and kissed it. I rolled my eyes at him and let out a grunt before I pulled back my hand but I was smiling.He chuckled. "I apologize. I am just too happy." he said while his eyes sparkled.With a sigh, I looked at the dashboard only to be really surprised.Robbie's foot pushed a little too hard on the break so the tires made a screeching sound. In front of my apartment, Trevor was leaning on a white sports car which was heavily tinted.He looked menacing as his arms were folded on his broad chest. He was in a gray t-shirt and his biceps were visible. He was looking at Robbie's car which he parked on the opposite side. My ex's eyes were really steely and he looked scary. It seemed like he was ready to attack us.My hands turned clammy due to nervousness though I felt I didn't have any reason to be afraid of him."I will get off first, " Robbie told me while he stared at Trevor.When he got out, I couldn't help swallowing a feeling of fear. I saw Trevor straightened and his arms went to his sides and he clenched his hands . He was glowering at Robbie, his jaw clenched.I looked at Robbie as he went around the car to open the door for me while he and Trevor glared at each other.He removed his stare at my ex for a second when he helped me get out of his car."Let's go." he said gently to me."Rob..." I could only utter his name since I didn't know what to say next.The moment I was out, he took hold of my hand firmly for us to face Trevor but a look of horror crossed my face.My ex's face was now red and he ordered through gritted teeth while advancing menacingly towards us," Get your hands off her!"Everything happened so fast. Before Robbie or I could react, Trevor pulled me from him ."Go there!!" he pointed to his left.Due to shock and fear, I just moved to where he wanted me to be. My eyes were wide as I looked at him. Obviously he was raging. He looked murderous."What the f*ck is your problem?!" Robbie angrily asked and he was about to reach for me.Trevor cursed loudly. "You are my problem!" he furiously shouted and smacked him on the face."NO TREVOR!" I screamed when he repeatedly hit Robbie without caring what part of his body he punched.The latter's back was on his car and Trevor was holding his collar to steady him.All I could do was holler their names alternately. Unfortunately no one except for the three of us were outside. There was no one to ask helped from. My screams were only driving my ex to hit Robbie harder."Oh my God!" I cried when I saw blood.I didn't know from which part of Robbie's body it was coming from. I just closed my eyes then weakly leaned my back against Trevor's car with my hands on my face. I didn't want to witness what was happening any longer. I didn't realize that I was crying quietly from fear and frustration. Fear from Trevor's rage and frustration because I couldn't do anything to stop him. My body trembled as I continuously cried. I couldn't help hearing Robbie's sound of pain and Trevor's fists hitting his body."Please stop Trevor!" I sobbed.I couldn't help opening my eyes when
I blinked. His mood was confusing. He was so angry and violent awhile ago but now he looked so meek and humble. Was he naturally like this? I almost shook my head. I had to agree with what he said before that I didn't know any single thing about him.He was intensely gazing at me which made me feel really uncomfortable. I sat straight and looked out the window to avoid his eyes.We were parked in front of a vacant lot. A few meters away, I could see a gasoline station and a convenience store. The only sound in the car was coming from the air conditioner. This was probably the time to tell him what I wanted to say to him nine years ago."I am sorry for what I did in the past. I didn't know what I was thinking. I wanted to apologize to you but I was afraid you wouldn't forgive me. Believe it or not I didn't mean what I said back then. I admit I was a bitch. When I finally gathered all the guts I needed to say sorry to you, you were gone."I was about to look at him when he spoke."It wi
I had to shake my head slightly to let what he said sink in. But he was now slowly moving towards me to kiss me again. Thankfully his phone rang which awakened me from what seemed to be a trance. I automatically moved my head backwards."F*ck!" he uttered out of frustration.I let out a small sigh.Shit Christina! That was close! - I told myself.Then he said after getting his phone in his pocket, "Hold on honey."That was when I decided to open the door to get off but he caught my arm."Where are you going?!"He glanced at his phone to look at the caller while still holding my arm."Right outside the car. Talk to whoever that is."I heard him mutter another bad word under his breath before he released my arm."Don't go anywhere! " he ordered as he took the call.I hastily got out.What a bossy pervert!" I mumbled when I was finally out.I sulkily leaned my back on the car. I had to think of ways so I won't fall into his trap. I knew his kind. He wouldn't stop until he had me in his b
(CHRISTINA)"Must I always remind you that I am not your girlfriend? You often forget it! " I said before finishing my sandwich."Don't forget what I said too that will be more than business partners."I sighed heavily before resting my back against the seat."It's obvious that you are still angry at me but it beats me why you still want me. For sure you can easily get more beautiful women out there so why not spare me? If you want to get back at me please not in this way. Why not make me work six days a week for ten hours a day or delegate all the tasks you don't want to do instead? We are both adults now so let us act like professionals. Let's focus on the business...""My body craves for you. Life is too short to deprive myself from what it wants. It's as simple as that," he said in an expressionless tone.I gritted my teeth and my eyes were like slits."Teejay!"A woman's voice from behind me called."Kathy? Is that you?" Trevor brows knitted but he rose from the chair.I stopped
"Is there a problem ? You said before that I lack experience that's why you doubt my capability even in just being your assistant," I reminded him in a sad voice.I even sighed then put my right hand below my breasts which made his eyes looked at my cleavage again.He was breathing raggedly maybe because he was pissed or because of something else. I moistened my lips with the tip of my tongue and as expected, his eyes went up to them."Even if Build Up is important to me, I am finally ready to let it go...""Damn you Christina!" he said before moving towards me and grabbed me by the shoulders and kissed me.I wasn't able to react for a few moments because I was taken aback . His tongue tasted every part of my sweet mouth. I couldn't deny that he was such an excellent kisser but I should do something to stop him. I was supposed to be seducing him not the other way around. I gathered all my strength and pushed his chest from me but he continued kissing me as I couldn't even budge him. I
"Am I making myself clear?" I asked as I jutted my chin and looked at him challengingly.His eyes glinted as a sexy grin slowly broke his lips. That smile of his was a sign that he was planning something that would benefit him but would affect me badly as usual. I stopped myself from throwing the out tray at him."Where did you get that idea? It never crossed my mind honey," he drawled.I rolled my eyes. I wasn't stupid of course. I had a strong feeling that he was going to have a tracking device installed in the car he wanted to give me. Now he began to move towards me again. The expression in his eyes and face was telling me that he was going to do something lascivious to me like he always did. I rushed to the other side of the table."For the nth time stop calling me honey!" I demanded."I will call you honey when we're alone," he asserted while still slowly walking towards me.We might have looked silly going around the table like a cat and a mouse but I didn't care. I didn't want
(Christina)I was breathing shallowly as I glared at his stunned face. For sure the last thing he was expecting me to do was slap him."You perverted beast!" I pushed him hard.With furrowed brows he cursed under his breath. He brushed his hair with his fingers in exasperation."Don't ever do that again or I will leave this company! You can have Build Up!" I said angrily as I hit him with the folders.He cursed as he caught my wrists and pulled me again to him. The documents fell down on our feet in disarray."You monster! You deliberately did this to discomfit me! How dared you?! You have been disrespecting me the day I saw you again! You are an immoral, nasty beast!""Yes! I can be a real beast and a monster so you better put that in your pretty little head! How the f*ck will I plan you seeing me naked when I just checked on you before my shower and you were sleeping like a baby?! You didn't knock! And now you blame me? F*CKING F*CK!" he furiously rasped before kissing me again for
(The next day-Christina)"Good morning, people," I greeted everyone with a big smile and they all greeted me back happily.I flashed another sweet smile to them before entering my small office. I had a deep slumber so I was well rested. I woke up on the right side of the bed. It helped that Trevor didn't call me again and he would be away for two days more. I wanted to enjoy every moment he would be gone.I just finished talking to one of our suppliers on the phone when Irma knocked three times before coming in."Ma'am, you have a clear schedule today. The meeting with Mr. Tolentino and Mr. Aguirre will be next week ."I frowned. "But I thought those will be in the afternoon today.""Mr. Samaniego said that he will meet them instead of you but you can go ahead and talk to Mrs. Hernandez but that is tomorrow at 9:30."I balled my hands which were on the table. It seemed that he didn't want me talking to our male clients."Okay thanks for the information, Irma." I nodded at the secretar
I couldn't believe that Gel could do that to me. After my heart-to-heart talk with Trevor when I found out that I was pregnant, he told me that she sent him the video they took when I broke up with him nine years ago. I thanked my lucky stars that he had really gotten over the past when he saw it. I didn't want to imagine how bad the effect would be if he was still holding a grudge against me. Gel apologized to me the next day. I felt that Trevor threatened her if she won't confess what she did and wouldn't apologize to me. He was one of the big clients of the bank where she was working and most of his friends had accounts there too because he recommended it to them. She admitted that she was envious of me which shocked me. I didn't have any idea that she felt that way to think that I had a closer relationship with her compared to Alice. She admitted that she was the one who told Rob to come to the restaurant that night he took me to his car but she said that she didn't expect that he
(Someone's POV)I hated to admit it but she had all the luck. She was almost perfect when it came to looks, family and status in the society so I could understand why men find her very attractive. But that was years ago. Her parents died which led her to lose the comfortable life she was used to. Honestly, I felt that what happened to her was just right. She was my friend but I think Christina Petrov didn't deserve to have an almost perfect life. I was also pretty and even richer than her. I still had my parents and I felt I had more friends but still, she gets the men as usual."Damn you Chrissy!" I hissed.My forehead creased when I saw the caller. I mumbled a bad word.(CHRISTINA)I moaned and stretched my body. I had a nice dream. I dreamt that Trevor woke me up and he was holding a bunch of flowers. He had his usual sexy grin as he looked at me. I smiled and purred like a cat before opening my eyes slowly.Hello my beautiful sleepyhead." Trevor said huskily as he stared at me lov
I woke up in a bed. I felt so weak. I tried to sit but I heard Trevor's cold voice."Stay put! " His voice came from my left side.He was bare chested and his lower body was covered with a white towel. His hair was wet. He walked towards me and sat on the edge of the bed. He felt my forehead and neck."How do you feel? " he asked while knitting his brows.I wet my dry lips, "I feel fine now," I replied in a small voice.A part of me wanted to ask him what happened to Robbie. Last thing I remembered was he aimed a gun at him."I already called Dr. Benitez. She will be here soon," he said. He seemed to be trying to read my mind."H-honey, what happened to..." I nipped my bottom lip when he angrily stood up and walked to his closet.Looked like he didn't want to hear my question. I knew well that he was furious with what he saw but we needed to talk about it.I mustered all the courage in me and was ready to talk again but without looking at me while he put on his clothes, he said in a c
(TREVOR)I was f*cking pissed. I had been calling Christina repeatedly but she was not picking up.The tires of my car made a screeching sound when I parked it angrily in front of the restaurant where she was with her friends. I couldn't imagine why she was not answering my calls and texts. I promised her that I won't hire a bodyguard for her but she was leaving me no choice. I won't have this! I made it clear to her over and over again that I wanted to know what she was doing almost every f*cking moment. What I was asking from her was not too much. I was only after her safety.(At the restaurant)"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it!" Gel giggled and Alice told her to be quiet. They were watching something on a cellphone when I approached them. They didn't notice that I was almost behind them. I frowned heavily when I didn't see Christina."Where the f*ck is Christina?!" I rasped.The two women turned to look at me and their eyes widened. Gel hid the phone behind her."T-Teejay? " Ali
Trevor's face darkened and he cursed. His hold on me tightened,"And who if I may ask are the f*cking bastards who kissed you?!""I w-was just kidding honey," I said but his expression became grimmer."Don't you dare joke about something like that!" he rasped.I gasped when he ripped my top. I uttered our endearment. I made a mental note not to kid him when it comes to such things. He was short-tempered since he was very possessive. I groaned when he dragged me to the bed. Looked like we would be returning to the city tomorrow. Good luck to my kitty again!(after a few weeks)Trevor and I were walking out of the office. He was driving me home before he would go to his dinner meeting with new male clients. My life turned upside down when he came back into my life but I was able to adjust to it. We had an agreement that we would get married next month so it wouldn't be too hasty. In exchange, I had to move in with him. One thing that I refused was a credit card. He persuaded me but I wa
"The f*ck...?!" Trevor angrily uttered.He drew me to him by my arms. He was breathing through his nostrils."Didn't I tell you that she is one crazy woman?! Trudy is Reiner's daughter with his ex-girlfriend who is now married to a foreigner! Lolla has been like a mother to her. Apparently she wanted us to be a family which was her brother's fault! She brought Trudy to Australia so she could see her father. So one time Reiner brought them to the beach and I was with them which was more than six months ago. Reiner said that the three of us looked like a family. It was a joke of course but I didn't laugh because I didn't want to offend the little girl. Unfortunately, Lolla took it seriously!" he added in a voice with a hint of different emotions.I noticed that he really seemed to want me to believe what he said and I did. I sensed that Lolla was lying not only because I was aware of how obsessed she was with Trevor but was able to read her intention through her eyes.
I raised my eyes at her when I heard what she said last. The bitch had a smug expression as she had her eyes on me too. I knew her kind well. Desperate. That was what she was."All these time I hid the truth about Trudy because I know that Teejay only wanted his revenge. Him asking you to marry him wasn't in the plan. It was okay with me if he had sex with you but it is too much if he marries you too! Maybe you used a love potion on him!" she accused with hatred in her voice.I raised a brow and folded my arms on my chest. I remembered the phrase, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." This was what was happening to Lolla now. She was willing to do anything out of anger.I took a deep breath and maintained a composed face and stance."I don't need to do anything to make him want to marry me. Maybe you are talking about yourself. If that little girl is his daughter why wait only now to tell me? You should have done that when you almost attacked me three days ago after you saw my rin
(TREVOR-In the kitchen a few minutes ago)I couldn't stop smiling. My Christina had given me a satisfaction which was beyond my expectations. It wasn't only about sex. It was deeper than that. I had to admit even to myself only that I was obsessed with her. One thing was for sure though, I wanted her to be my wife because I still loved her.I mumbled a disgusted sound when I realized what I did with the pancakes and fruits on the plate. I asked myself why had I become so cheesy but strangely I felt good though I know that I hadn't imagined that I could be like this until now. I sighed. Maybe the time was ripe for me to tell her how I really felt. I would have to forget other things and just focus on now. I released another heavy sigh before picking up the plate.(Christina)I couldn't believe it! I blinked a few times to make sure that I wasn't just seeing things! I felt Trevor's lips on my forehead when he kissed me while chuckling. He moved the plate closer to my face as if I didn't
I bit my bottom lip as I stared at his muscled back and delicious bottom. When he was gone, I slowly and with a lot f care got up from the bed and wrapped the sheet around my body.After a quick shower, I put on an oversized cotton t-shirt which went a little above my knees. I didn't wear any undies as Trevor ordered.I saw him standing in the balcony. The divider was open and he was leaning on the frame of the glass door while he looked at me. He seemed to be waiting for me. He had taken his shower too base from his still damp hair and bare upper body. He was only wearing boxer shorts. My brows creased because he was smoking while his eyes ran on me.He cocked a brow. "You don't like me smoking honey?" he asked dryly as he puffed then blew smoke with his eyes on me.I jutted my chin. "Does it matter? Even if I say that I don't like it, you will still do what you want," I commented with a sarcastic tone.He grinned which made him appear hotter. "Look who's talking. We are really a per
