Rex's POV

Maaga akong nagising kinabukasan. It's 6:00 in the morning so I still have time to prepare for today's meeting. Nilingon ko si Eliyah na natutulog pa rin sa tabi ko. She is hugging my body tightly while her face is placed on my chest. I lift my free arm then brought it to her pink lips and feel its softness. Tumagal ang hinlalaki ko roon nang ilang segundo bago ito umakyat sa kanyang buhok.

I tucked some of her strands hair behind her neck. "Good Morning," bati ko sa kanya kahit alam kong hindi niya naman ako naririnig dahil tulog pa siya. "Ang ganda mo...sobra."

Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang kamay niyang nakapalibot sa aking katawan pero lagi naman itong bumabalik. Hindi ko mapigilang matawa dahil doon.

"Baby, I'll be late if you keep on hugging me." I whispered to her.

"Hmmm..." Ungol niya.

I groaned because of it. "Stop please." Huminga ako nang malalim upang pakalmahin ang sarili ko.

Buti na lang at inalis niya na rin naman ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin kalaunan. I kissed her on her lips before I went to my bathroom to take a bath. Pagkatapos kong makaligo at makapagbihis ay nagpa-deliver na rin ako ng breakfast.

"Aalis ka na?" Eliyah asked as I wear my black formal suit.

Nilingon ko siya saka tinanguan. Napalunok ako nang masilayan ang magulo niyang buhok habang nakahiga sa aming kama. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang halikan ulit siya.

Iniwas niya nga lang ang mukha niya dahilan upang sa pisngi niya bumagsak ang aking halik.

"Kagigising ko pa lang, Rex! Mabaho pa ang hininga ko!"

I chuckled at her reaction. Isn't she aware how good her smell is? Kahit siguro hindi siya maligo nang ilang taon ay hindi ako magsasawang halikan siya nang paulit-ulit.

Pinalandas ko ang aking ilong at labi sa kanyang pisngi pababa sa kanyang leeg. Then I put small kisses on there.

"You smell so good,"

"You're just bluffing," her voice is husky.

I didn't answer and just observe her. She turned her head to me and I took that as an oppurtunity to kiss her. On her lips.

"You taste so good." Then I left her on the bed.

Pansin ko ang pagkakatahimik niya at nang nilingon ko siya ay namumula pa ang kanyang pisngi. I chuckled on how cute she is.

Nang dumating ang inorder kong pagkain ay agad ko itong hinanda sa isang table saka ko siya tinawag. Pagkatapos naming kumain ay hinalikan ko lamang siya sa pisngi niya bago umalis.

"Good luck!" She shouted at me.

I smiled sweet at her. "Thank you. Prepare for my dinner later, hmm?" Sabay ngisi ko rito.

She smirked. "Saan ba? Sa CR o sa kama?"

"Sa buong kwarto."

Saka ako umalis. Habang papunta sa kotse ko ay chineck ko muna ang oras sa cellphone ko at nakitang may isang mensahe roon galing kay Shennun at may isa rin galing kay mommy.

From Shennun;

Did you leave your ring here?

Huminga ako nang malalim dahil doon. I only wore the ring once and it was on our wedding. The next day? Wala na. I don't know why she's asking me this right now. Eh alam niya naman na simula pa lang ay hindi ko talaga siya gusto. I only married her because of my father. He ordered me to marry her and I couldn't do anything but to follow him so I married her. I thought she knows it?

Pero gago pa rin ako. I know that I should still treasure and respect our marriage but...I really am an asshole.

Kumunot ang noo ko at ni-replyan siya pagkasakay ko sa kotse ko. I got my car keys on the valet.

To Shennun;

I'm sorry. We'll talk once I came back.

Sunod kong tiningnan ang message na ipinadala sa akin ni mommy.

From Mommy;

Darling, a friend of mine saw you in Batangas earlier and she told me you're with a girl but Shennun isn't with you right? Who are you with? I hope you're not doing anything wrong that might ruin your marriage.

Tila tinakasan ako ng kaluluwa dahil sa nabasa. I don't know what to reply. Naibaba ko agad ang cellphone ko at lumingon sa paligid. Nang hindi makuntento ay lumabas pa ako ng sasakyan ko at para akong tangang palonga-linga sa paligid. Nang walang makita ay tiningnan ko kung kailan na-send ang message.

Sent. 9:43 PM

Damn, last night! Her friend maybe saw us entering the hotel last night! I can't understand...how does she have a friend here?

Hindi ko na lamang siya ni-replyan dahil hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Nang makitang malapit na akong ma-late ay agad akong nagmaneho paalis sa parking lot.

On the way to the Buenaventuras' company, my mind is clouded with my mother's text. I know that she's not joking about it. She has basis for it. And if her friend saw us last night, I wonder where did she see us?

What if her friend is working on that hotel? What if she saw us inside the hotel? And damn, I couldn't help but be scared! Not for myself but for Eliyah. Natatakot akong baka masaktan siya kapag nagkaalaman na. I am afraid that my father might hurt her when this news comes out.

But I know and I am sure, I would fight for her no matter what happens and whoever gets in our way.

"It's nice to meet you, Rex! Pinadala ka ba rito ng tatay mo?" Sabay halakhak ng isang matandang lalaki.

Katatapos lang ng meeting namin with the Buenaventuras and I learned a lot with them. Hindi ko alam kung magagawa ko bang makuha ang deal na ito but for a short span of time, I enjoyed being here.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Sir. Yes po, my father asked me to join here because I think he needs to be in the company right now." I formally answered the old man.

He laughed like Santa Claus. Nakahawak pa siya sa kanyang tiyan na tila ba natutuwa siya sa eksena ngayon.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko lang mapigilang matawa! Ang tatay mo talaga hindi pa rin nagbabago." Ani niyang nakangisi pa rin habang umiiling.

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. "Paanong hindi po nagbabago?"

Humagikhik siya sa akin at tinapik ang balikat ko. "Alam mo naman ang mga lalaki, hindi kayang hindi tumikim ng ibang putahe!" He then laughed again.

Agad nag-igting ang panga ko nang maisip ang sinabi niyang iyon. Impossible.

My father loves my mother so much. He won't do anything that will hurt my mother. Because I feel it, despite me not believing in love. I feel that he really loves my mother with the way he looks at her. And the way he takes care of her. Kaya niya nga balak na mag-retire na at ipasa sa akin ang buong Montello Incorporated ay para makapag-focus na siya kay mommy.

I shook my head at the old man in front of me. "You're wrong, Sir. My father won't do that. He can't do that."

He looked at me like I was saying non sense. "He's an old friend of mine, Rex. And trust me, I know everything your father had done to your mother."

Buti na lang at iniwan niya na ako rito upang kumausap ng ibang guests. Hindi ko na lamang ang pinansin ang sinabi ng matandang iyon at nagpatuloy na rin ako sa pagkausap sa iba pang mga guests.

Tomorrow, I will present the offer of Montello lines to the Buenaventuras and its board of directors. This is a big project so I can't blame my father for pushing me into this. Ang ipinagtataka ko lang naman ay kung bakit ako pa? He knows that I am not that expert in this field. He knows that there are employees out there in our company who are much more fit for this projdct and yet, sa akin niya binigay ito? Well, this may be his way on training me up for my big role in the company.

Nakipag-usap pa ako sa ibang mga guests and board of directors ng Buenaventuras. At hindi pa naghahapon ay agad natapos ang meeting namin. I thought we would finish at night but I am glad we finished early.

Napangisi ako dahil sa excitement ko. Makakasama ko na naman si Eliyah.

I held my phone to send a message to her but I pouted when I realized I don't have her number. Kaya naman buong byahe akong nakasimangot. Gusto kong magtampo sa kanya pero alam kong kasalanan ko naman. Sana kinuha ko na kanina.

Pagka-park ko sa sasakyan ko sa parking lot ay luminga muna ako sa paligid. Hindi ko maiwasang mapaisip na baka nasa paligid na naman ang kaibigang iyon ni mommy.

Ibinigay ko ang susi sa valet bago pumasok sa hotel at umakyat sa room namin ni Eliyah.

Napakunot ang noo ko nang makitang walang Eliyah akong nadatnan sa loob ng room. Hindi ko maiwasang kabahan.

Did she leave me already? Sawa na kaya siya sa akin? Or maybe she realizes that I am too old for her! Damn!

"Eliyah? Eliyah? Eliyah?" Sunod-sunod kong pagtawag sa pangalan niya.

Nilibot ko na ang buong room ngunit wala pa rin akong nakitang Eliyah!

Dali-dali akong bumaba at pumunta sa receptionist.

Hinihingal ako at alam kong halata ang taranta sa mukha ko ngunit wala akong pakealam. Ang mahalaga sa akin ay ang makita ko kung nasaan si Eliyah.

"Did you see Eliyah Cruz leave this hotel?" Tanong ko sa receptionist.

Napakunot nang kaunti ang noo niya sa akin ngunit hinanap niya pa rin sa log book niya. "Eliyah Cruz in Room 108, Sir?"

I clenched my jaw because I am now losing my patience! "Yes," pilit ko na lamang kinakalma ang sarili ko.

"Yes, Sir. But she didn't totally leave the hotel, she just went out for a walk across the shore." Basa niya pa sa log book niya.

Kahit pa-paano ay kumalma ako dahil sa sinabing iyon ng Receptionist.

Damn! I thought she really left already! At ako namang si tanga, hindi man lang chineck kung andun pa ba ang mga gamit niya! I just straightly concluded that she left!

"You're not in our room," Saad ko nang mahanap ko kung nasaan siya. Agad ko siyang nilapitan para makausap.

Nakahiga siya sa isa sa mga sun lounger habang naka-suot ng black shade. Nagtiim ang bagang ko nang makita ang suot niyang damit.

She's wearing short shorts that emphasizes her long and smooth legs. She's also wearing just a brassiere! Gusto kong buhatin na lamang siya at ikulong sa kwarto ngunit hindi dapat ganun.

Mabilisan niyang tinanggal ang suot na shade at bumangon. Malaki ang kanyang mata at nakaawang ang bibig na nakatingin sa akin. Surprise, huh?

"A-Ano'ng...Anong ginagawa mo rito? Bakit ka umuwi?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong.

Gusto ko nang mag-usap kami nang maayos ngunit nadi-distract talaga ako sa suot niya! Lalo pa at pansin ko ang pagtingin ng ibang lalaki sa paligid! Tila gusto ko siyang halikan ngayon rito sa harapan nila maipakita lang na may nagmamay-ari na sa kanya at hindi nila maaagaw ito sa akin! Damn them!

"Let's go to our room now." Mahinahon kong saad.

"Huh? Ayoko nga! Mamaya na, nage-enjoy pa ako rito oh."

Nandilim ang panigin ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

Is she enjoying the attention she's getting here? Gusto niya bang pinagtitinginan siya ng mga lalaki kaya gusto niya pang mag-stay?

I sat down on the sun lounger with her then whispered on her ear. "Why? Do you like being watched by other boys here, hmm?"

I then licked her ear. Hinalikan ko siya sa kanyang leeg ngunit agad niya akong tinulak. Tumayo siya nang maayos. She's looking straightly at my eyes while she's shaking her head, showing me her disappointment.

"Is that what you think? That I am enjoying here because...because I enjoy being watched by other boys?" Mariin ang pagkakatanong niyang iyon at tila ba kailangan kong ayusin ang sagot ko dahil kung hindi...

I smirked darkly at her. "Why? Hindi ba totoo--"

She slapped me. "Fuck you! You're an asshole. Uuwi na ako."

Nagulat ako nang dere-deretso siyang maglakad papasok sa hotel. Agad ko naman siyang sinundan paakyat para pigilan siya.

With her posture earlier, I can see from her eyes that she can do it. And I may be ashamed to admit, but I really got afraid...with the thought of her...leaving me.

  • Illicit Affairs Series 1: Professor Rex Montello   Kabanata 6: Cockblock

    Eliyah's POV"Kagigising ko pa lang Rex, mabaho pa ang hininga ko!" I cringed when he tried to kiss me on my lips. Hindi naman talaga mabaho. I am just really conscious about my looks and smell right now. Dapat kasi ako ang naunang nagigising eh! At para sana nakapag-ayos muna ako ng sarili ko bago siya gumising! But...why do I need to be conscious? I shouldn't right? At isa pa, I know that I smell so good hmm? He chuckled then he ran his pointed nose and red lips on my cheeks down to my neck. Nag-init ang pisngi ko dahil doon. Napalunok ako lalo na nang simulan niyang paulanan nang mumunting halik ang aking leeg. I craned my neck to give him more access onto it. Ang bango bango niya. Katatapos niya lang maligo at nagbibihis siya nang magising ako kaya lumapit siya para halikan ako. I don't know if it is Rex that I smell...but...a part of me thinks that I smell like him. Maybe because we were hugging at night? "You smell so good." He said breathily.Napasinghap ako dahil doon. "

    Third Person POVNakasimangot si Rex habang pinapanood si Eliyah na magtampisaw sa dagat. Nalulungkot man siya dahil sa naging sagutan at away nila kanina ay hindi niya naman maiwasang maging masaya para sa babae. "She really is much prettier when smiling." Saad niya sa sarili.Hindi niya pa rin maiwasang mainis lalo pa at may mga lalaking nakatingin sa kanya. Kaya naman nagpasya siyang lapitan si Eliyah at hagkan ito upang ipakita na siya ang nagmamay-ari dito. "Do you love how it feels, baby?" He whispered as he hugged Eliyah from the back.Napalingon si Eliyah sa lalaki at hindi niya maitago ang gulat na nararamdaman niya."A-Anong ginagawa mo rito?" Kinunot niya ang kanyang noo upang itago ang kaba na nararamdaman.Dahil kahit na medyo nagtatampo siya kay Rex ay hindi niya pa rin maiwasang mag-init dahil sa lalaki. Naka-topless lang si Rex habang siya naman ay naka two piece lang. Bakat na bakat ang pagkalalaki ni Rex lalo pa nang mabasa ang shorts nito."You said we need to enj

  • Illicit Affairs Series 1: Professor Rex Montello   Kabanata 8: Celebration

    Eliyah's POVKinabukasan ay ako ang naunang nagising sa aming dalawa. Rex is still sleeping beside me as I watched his face. Napangisi ako dahil kahit na natutulog siya ay nakakunot pa rin ang kanyang noo. His face seemed like in a chaotic form...but in a good chaos hmm?My hand flew to his hair and touched it. It was soft, like silk. Bumaba ang kamay ko sa kanyang mga malalalim na mga mata, down to his pointed nose, at sa naka-igting niyang panga. As you look at him, you could definitely see the playboy and fuckboy side of him. Unang tingin pa lang, malalaman mo na agad na hindi siya nagse-seryoso and that he's just open for a one night stand. For a fuck buddy. And not for a serious relationship. He's a man who doesn't want to commit. A man who doesn't love. Kaya nakakapagtaka para sa akin ang mga sinambit niya kagabi. My heart reacted from it. But I knew, it didn't have any meaning for him. Dahil alam ko sa umpisa pa lang, na hindi siya marunong magmahal. For him to love is a big

    Rex's POVMaybe I pressured her too much, huh? I wasn't asking her to say that she loves me too because at that moment...I just wanted my feelings to be known. Did she think I was just joking when I told her I love her? Syempre, Rex! You're a damn fuckboy! Who would believe you anyway?Napahinga ako nang malalim pagkalabas ko sa hotel room namin. Inilabas ko ang cellphone ko at doon ko nakita ang sunod-sunod na mensahe galing kay Shennun. I swallowed hard as I read her messages. From Shennun;You're not replying to any of my messages, LoveLove? Reply please?Have you eaten your breakfast, love? Please huwag mong gutumin ang sarili mo hmmm?I love you, love!

    Eliyah's POVHindi ko alam kung saan pumunta si Rex pagkatapos niya akong ihatid sa suit namin. Before we left the westside, I saw him looking widely and sadly at the woman in front of us. Hindi ko kilala ang babae at hindi ito pamilyar sa akin pero isa lang ang sa tingin kong tama—she is Rex's mother. Magkamukhang-magkamukha sila. Even if I was looking at her from afar, I could see their similarities already, what more if I saw her from a short distance hmm? Naka-higa ako habang pinapanood ang kisame ng suit namin. Pinapakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko kung may mali ba pero mukhang wala naman? Hays, bukas pa naman kami mage-explore about the sea here. Sana naman hindi ako lagnatin.Gusto ko mang hintayin si Rex sa pagdating niya ngunit hindi ko na nagawa pa dahil sa unti-unting pagbagsak ng mga talukap ng mata ko. I was so tired for what we did today but I could say that it was worthwhile. Pero hindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng awa at sakit dahil sa pag-iyak ni Rex kanina. Does he rea

    Rex's POVPagkahatid ko kay Eliyah sa suit namin ay bumaba ulit ako para kausapin si mommy. I didn't know that she's here! And damn, she knows it. I know she knows it. Hindi na ako makakawala pa. With her message, alam kong matagal na siyang nanghihinala... and tonight she proved to herself that she's right. "Mom-"I couldn't finish my sentence because of her slap. My head turned to other direction because of the intensity of her slap. Napalunok ako at napahawak sa pisnging sinampal niya. "You're such a disgusting man, Rex! Nakakadiri ka! You're a married man! A family man! May asawa ka na! But here you are, fucking and flirting with your mistr-"I clenched my jaw and cut her off. "Mom! Don't you ever call Eliyah with that word." mariin kong ani. I respect my mother so much. Isa siya sa mga rason bakit andito pa ako sa pamilyang ito. Because I love them so much. I could just cut off my relationship towards this fucking family but I didn't because a part of me... knows that they are

Walang masyadong nagbago sa kanya. And... my husband? Her husband? Who? Bulag ba siya?I was about to answer when Rex caressed my hand and hide me thoroughly at his back, seems like protecting me from Shennun. Pansin ko ang galit at sakit sa mga mata ni Shennun habang nakatingin sa amin. Ano bang ginagawa niya rito? What? Is she going to ruin my new life here? Is she going to push me away from this University? "Shennun, leave. Please leave," Gulat akong napalingon kay Rex dahil sa sinabi niya. How the hell did he know Shennun's name? Lumingon siya sa akin habang umiiling. Nanginginig ang kanyang mga kamay. His body posture was already ruined. Na para bang ano mang oras ay mawawasak siya. He's holding my hand tightly but I can get away from it easily because it's trembling."K-Kilala mo siya?" I straigh

Hindi kita pinalaking ganun!" he continued shouting as his chest moves in fast pace.I shook my head then knelt down on the floor, crying like a mess. "D-Dad, please... d-don't do it-"He held me at my shoulder then shake it. "Eliyah! Wake up! You need to learn your lessons! Drag her out of my site!" he then started walking away from me."I-Is this what you want? For me to s-suffer, dad?" nanghihina kong tanong. Natigilan siya sa paglalakad pero hindi pa rin siya lumilingon sa akin. Inaasahan kong tatakbo siya pabalik sa akin at yayakapin ako niya nang mahigpit. Because I am his child. I am his daughter."Ikulong niyo siya! She's grounded!" Bigla akong hinawakan ng mga bodyguards ni daddy saka pilit na inakyat sa hagdan.

    Rex's POVThey say that happiness starts within ourselves. That we don't need other people for us to be happy... because they will only make things worse... they will only hurt us... they will only take away our smiles off of our faces.But they're wrong.Standing here in front while I watch Eliyah walked down the aisle, made me realized that I need her and our son for me to be happy. Because without them... I am living my lifeless life in... a dark."I really can't believe that you're deep in love, brother." ani ng kapatid ko sa aking tabi. Hindi ko siya pinansin dahil ayaw kong maputol ang aking paningin kay Eliyah at sa anak naming naglalakad papunta sa akin. Her dad is on her side and I can see, from here, the glistening tears around his father's eyes. I remember the day I talked to his father about my plans marrying her daughter. It's hard for me to do it because I know how much he hurt Eliyah and thinking that his father tried to hurt Eliyah physically make my heart tremble in

    Eliyah's POV"Lagi kang kwine-kwento ni kuya," the man whose name is Sebastian said to me. Andito kami ngayon sa isang coffee shop malapit sa prisinto kung saan kasalukuyang nakakulong si Rex. Sebastian invited me here because he wants to talk to me and I agreed. Bukod pa rito ay pakiramdam ko ay may alam siya kung bakit hinuli si Rex. Isa pa, ang ipinagtataka ko ay kung paano niya agad nalaman na nakakulong si Rex? Wala pang isang oras ang lumilipas nng hulihin siya ng mga pulis. And to think that he already knew what's up about his brother is I can't understand. Pero hindi ko na ito dapat pagtuunan pa ng pansin.What I need to know right now is the reason why Rex is arrested. Kung ano'ng kasalanan niya. And why he didn't fight? It seemed like he's accepting the verdict already. Nasa harapan ko si Sebastian habang seryoso akong tinitingnan. Walang buhay naman akong nakatingin sa kanya. Before I sat here, I first called Nadia to know if Elijah's okay. Ang sabi ni Nadia ay okay lang

    Eliyah's POVKinabukasan ay mag-isa ko na lang ang nakahiga sa kama namin ni Rex. When I wandered my eyes around the room, I can't see him. I closed my eyes and smelled the scent beside me. Rex's scent is my favorite scent. Ang kanyang bango ay walang katumbas. It's addicting more than drugs.Ilang minuto pa akong nanatili sa kama bago bumangon. Dumikit sa aking balat ang amoy ni Rex. Napangiti ako nang maalala ang mga ginawa namin kagabi. I looked at the ring on my ring finger and my cheeks burned because of it. The butterflies in my stomach are celebrating for it.I sighed deeply to calm my nerves from rejoicing. I then went to the shower room to bathe myself. Pagkatapos ay naghanda na ako para makababa na rin. I just wore my pink spaghetti strap and white short shorts. Habang pababa ako sa hagdan ay naririnig ko na ang ingay ni Elijah at Rex sa kusina. Nang makarating sa kusina ay tama nga ang naisip ko. Nandoon sila at parehong naghahanda ng breakfast.I chuckled as I watched the

Siguro ay iniisip nila na dapat ay nakapaghanda na sila kanina pa. Even though it's my fault because I forgot to tell them that we have visitors today."Sorry talaga, Eliyah. Hindi naman alam na may tao na pala sa labas kanina." Patuloy sa paghingi ng tawad si Nadia habang tinutulungan ko siyang mag-ayos ng mga tinapay. I smiled at her and caressed her hand to assure her that it's all fine."It's fine, Nadia. Kasalanan ko 'to dahil nakalimutan kong sabihin na bibisita pala sila rito ngayon." saad ko habang inaayos na rin ang juice. Nang matapos ko ay tiningnan ko ulit si Nadia. "Thank you for staying, Nadia. I'll just give them these to them,"Tumango siya sa akin at nag ngitian pa kami bago ako umalis sa kusina. I saw Rex watching Eliyah plays. Habang sina Stella at Axel naman ay parang naiilang pa. Lagi silang tumitingin kay Rex at paminsan-minsan

    Eliyah's POVI can feel Rex's arms around me as I sleep. Pagkatapos nang nangyari sa amin kagabi ay mabilis akong nakatulog dahil na rin sa pagod. Pero hindi ako nagsisisi. It was such a wonderful moment for the both of us. I opened my eyes and I saw myself lying on his chest. I can feel his heart breathing while his arms are enveloped around me, keeping me so safe, keeping me so warm, and protected. I looked at the clock and saw that it's alredy dawn. Napangiti ako habang inaalala ang lahat ng nangyari kagabi. Mas lalo kung siniksik ang aking sarili sa kanyang katawan. And for the second time, I fell asleep again.I could really say that this is one of the most peaceful and warmthful sleep I have ever had. I don't know if it's because I'm with Rex or what, but I like it so much."Good morning, baby," Rex's voice lingered at my ear, reason why I got awaken suddenly. Gano'n pa rin ang init na pinaparamdam sa akin ni Rex. I can't feel the coldness of air condition because of how warmt

Because finally, my son is receiving every happiness in the world and I know that he deserves it. He deserves it so so much.Pagkatapos naming magyakapan kanina ay saka ako naghanda ng aming dinner. I informed Nadia that I will be the one who will cook for our dinner. Napangisi ako nang maalala ang ngisi niya sa akin nang sabihin ko iyon. She never asked me of anything anymore. She just nodded her head then winked at me before she left. But I know what was running in her mind."Mom, when we will be going back to States?" inosenteng tanong ni Elijah.Napaangat ako nang tingin sa kanya dahil sa biglaan niyang pagtanong niyon. Slowly, I turned my head at Rex whose eyes are now serious and black. Naka-yuko siya at umaaktong hindi narinig ang sinabi ng anak. His jaw is a little bit clenched and I know how hard he was trying to restrain himse

Parang kahapon lang ay galit pa siya sa akin... pero ngayon, he's so sweet as honey.Napalunok ako nang dumausdos ang kanyang kamay sa bewang ko. His hot breath tickled on my cheeks. One kiss from him and I immediately pushed him away. Nang lumingon ako sa kanya, batid ko ang pagtataka sa mga mata niya."S-Susundan ko lang si Elijah," palusot ko bago mabilis na umalis sa tabi niya. Elijah is with Nadia. They are on the living room with the other maids. Ngayon ko lang natanto na mag-isa lang si Rex dito, hmm? It's easy for him to bring women here. That thought alone made me irritated at him even more. Maybe for the past years, marami na siyang nakamang babae rito, huh? And maybe in his office too! Fuck! Eliyah! Discipline please?
