"Xyle! Oh, God! Please end this..." I begged him once more.
My vision was blurry, and I was afraid I was going to collapse.
"Give me a reasonable excuse why I should stop, Mir," he said hoarsely, burying his lips in my neck.
Damn! There are countless reasons why this should not happen.
"Farah..." 'Oh shut up, Miranda! You're envious! Admit it.'
"She's just a friend."
"That's... showbiz…" I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
He chuckled. "It is true."
"And Dalia?" I was a little frustrated, I know.
Became OneXylon’s eyes travelled down my chest, wavered for seconds on the curves of my body, and then his hand roamed across my chest while looking directly into my eyes.Without warning, he cupped both of my bre*sts and massaged them slowly and his lips landed on mine. My knees trembled, I had to hold on to his shoulders.His deft fingers manipulated my n*pples. I gasped, and he yanked me away from his kisses to pressed his lips against my left bre*st."Your heart..." he murmured. "I want your heart, Mir. I want to step into every corner of your heart. I want you to forgive me and need me as much as I needed you. Begging you to love a fool like me. I want all of you, Miranda."
Behind the DoorIt was quiet. I buried myself beneath the blanket. There was a feeling of an uncomfortable lack of warmth even if the sun was shining brightly outside the window.As I turned around, I felt the pain in between my thighs. I tried to touch myself and discovered that I was still damp.I felt the side of the bed. The scent of our lovemaking was still there. His masculine perfume lingered in my room.So it was all true. I was not just dreaming.I slowly get up. My eyes wandered across the room. The area was completely ruined and messed up.I exhaled a long sigh. Xylon didn't even say goodbye. He didn't even say thank you. Jus
EnoughThere were various seashells and sharp rocks along my path. But I didn’t care and continued walking at the seashore. A weak stroke of the water at my feet was enough to add on the resentment, remorse, and pain groping inside my heart.I was such an idiot! How could I have missed it? Xylon Diaz will never be satisfied with one woman. He is such a man-whore.He was gone the moment I woke up. I speculated what we did together last night was a new beginning. He was with me, and then all of a sudden quickly found a different gourmet to devour. I couldn't imagine him kissing me and then kissing another girl after. This was the very reason why Dalia had the determination to hope and expect from him. She has a valid motive to still claim him. Expecting something in return.
Stronger"Why did you keep this from us, Mir?" Auntie Pat held both of my hands. I didn't answer. I bit my lips and tilted my head to hide my tears."That arsehole! You should’ve told us earlier, so we could also beat him," Caleb growled behind."No, Caleb. Don't be like your father. I stopped him from following you but he was stubborn. He should've controlled his temper.""I couldn’t just keep quiet and tolerate what that man did to our niece, Nena. He must prepare himself because I'm not done with him yet. I'm going to file a charge against him!"I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and looked outside the window."Now I understan
Chase After Him"Are you sure about that, Sheena? He's about to leave today?" Caleb was speaking to Sheena on the phone. He was walking towards my station.I started a job with Camish and Caleb one week after we returned from the resort. I need to keep myself busy or I will blow my mind in despair.Auntie Pat requested me to rest and take a break, but I just couldn't. I will only think back on everything if I stay home and feel more miserable than ever."Your brother is really stupid, you know!" Caleb caught my eye. My heart was pounding just hearing about Sheena's brother."He agreed on a two-year contract? He didn't even talk to Miranda before taking that job. I thought you said he's madly i
Too LateSheena was already at the entrance area and waiting for us when we arrived. My heart beats so fast. My forehead was sweating while my hands were getting cold. Even my feet were trembling."Caleb!" Sheena automatically clung her arms to Caleb and the two quickly hugged each other."Where's your brother?" Camish asked.Sheena slipped out of Caleb's embrace, a sad expression on her face. The way she looked at me meant only one thing."He's gone, Miranda,” she shook her head. “He left an hour ago."I feel like a burning candle that will melt in an instant. I held on to Camish’s arm to gain some strength. He immediately assist
We’ve already moved into our rooms. I wanted to return to Manila, but Caleb insisted on staying for the time being. He didn't want to just leave Sheena once again. Especially that Mother Nena was still unsettled.The air was fresh and clean. I focused on the scenic view outside the window. The birds were flying around, getting ready for the dawn. Many tourists were wandering around the resort enjoying their stay. But I don't see any reason why I should stay here longer.I sighed deeply. I'm staying in the same room. The exact location where we became so passionate with each other. I turned around and saw the plain white bed sheet that was neatly folded. It was the same bed where we practically made love.I shut my eyes. I could still see Xylon's face even with my eyes closed. I took my white jacket that was ha
Just a ShadowHere I was standing. At the very same place where I had been with Xylon for a few days. The ancient, large prehistoric house in the middle of the woods. I thought it was remote, secluded and almost inaccessible to the general public. Yet I didn't even walk one kilometre from Diaz's resort to get here.The place, which I estimated to be more than twenty years old. I'm here. Once again.I entered through the large gate. Like it was just yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, I was drenched in sweat. And the coldness at night that always made me shiver.I walked slowly to the marbled floor. I remembered the antique furniture, including chairs and tables that reminded me of ancient civilizations. The Egyptian paintings and sc
