CHAPTER 8
I feel so disappointed at myself. Until now, I feel so embarrassed. Ronald saw me there and maybe he’s also thinking that I wanted to steal that goddamn book. I sighed heavily and I almost punch the tree behind me, but I felt someone watching me. I rolled my eyes when I saw Rael and Fin. What are they doing here? It’s almost midnight.
I gave them a serious look when I saw them smirking at me.
“What’s with that look, princess?” Rael asked with his usual teasing tone. I ignore him and jump up above the branch of the tree. They both did the same and took a seat on my sideways.
“Where’s Gray? Is he fine, now?” I asked while staring at the setting sun. The sun was large from here where we are sitting.
“He’s taking his rest. Alqamar is with Lexis—”
“I did not ask about Alqamar, Fin.” I cut him off. I heard Rael chuckled, so I glared at him t
CHAPTER 9I don’t know what to say or what to react the moment our eyes met. His brows furrowed at the sight of me. I looked away and closed my eyes while still trying to be comfortable on the bed. Damn it! Why is he here? He still has class, right? Or…is it their break time? Damn! I almost forgot about it!“You’re sick?” I heard him asked. I felt him beside my bed. Why does he need to come near me? He’s looking for his father, right?“Why people come over to the clinic? Isn’t it obvious?” I can’t help it anymore. I am so irritated in this situation. My eyes remained close; I don’t want to look at his eyes. Damn it!“You don’t look sick, though.” He said coldly. My brows furrowed and gritted my teeth. I opened my eyes and glared at him. I don’t know why I am mad right now. My mind is not working well.“Are you saying that I am lying? Why w
CHAPTER 10I was five years old when I last saw my mother. She looks lovely when she smiles and her red hair like mine always shined through my eyes. We look alike. The only thing that differentiates us is our attitude. While my mom was a soft-hearted and kind woman, I am hard-headed and feisty girl. I always hang around boys because girls hate me. We always end up pulling each other’s hair, so I always prefer Alqamar’s group.But sometimes if the boys are too pervert and bad, I always end up beating them until they give up. That’s what I am. I don’t want others to see me as a weakling. I am not like my mother who always stays quiet in the corner. I always want to fight with my rights, and I will protect my family with all my strength especially that I don’t have a father.Mother said that my father was killed by the humans. She said that it was an accident. The humans were too scared of my father to see him in a wolf
CHAPTER 11I decided to follow Ronald since I saw that necklace of him. I want to know where he gets that or where did his mother get that. Could she probably know my mother? Or my father? I know that my parents are both gone in this world but seeing that necklace from Ronald…bothered me the most. So, I won’t let it pass.“Where are you going again?” I heard Rael asked while I am drinking a glass of water. I looked at him and I saw him putting a band aid from his knuckles. Maybe he did a training for himself.“Somewhere,” I said coldly.“Are you dating someone new again?” he teased. I glared at him. This man really didn’t know how to shut his mouth.“What? I am just asking!” he raised his both hands to defend himself. I rolled my eyes.“I would be happier if you shut your mouth up,” I said coldly before I walked out.I slammed the door and hea
CHAPTER 12“I-I am…your mother’s…” he sighed heavily and swallowed more, “…friend,”I stared at him for a long while. My lips parted as my heart contradicted. Friend. He’s my mother’s friend? How come that my mother has human friend? It wasn’t forbidden but it’s rare. I swallowed hard and watched him composed himself.“Do you want…to have some coffee with me?” he asked after the silence. I looked away and thoughts started to spin around my mind. If he’s my mother’s friend, then it’s understandable why Ronald gets link to me. I nodded at him, so he smiled and lead the way. I watched his broad back, and I can really tell how Ronald is so much like him. Even his back looks so much of his son. Now I wonder…how is he as a friend? If he is a friend, why was he not there when my mother died? Did they lose each other’s
CHAPTER 13I stared at his eyes. Zin Lumiere. That’s the name of my father. I bit my lower lip to stop it from trembling. My heart is breaking while staring at the man who’s named Zin Lumiere. I didn’t even know his face. I didn’t even know what he’s like. Mom never mentioned him to me or because I was not asking about it.“I didn’t know what happened and believe me…I chased your mother but still she chooses to leave and told me…to just marry Serene…” I looked at him when he said that. What does he mean by that? Mom told him to…marry Serene? Why would she say that?My lips parted when a realization hit me when I saw his tears rolling down his eyes. My hands turned cold. Don’t tell me…“I loved your mom…I didn’t know if she felt the same with me but the way she pushed me away maybe…she really chooses Zin over me, right?” hi
CHAPTER 14Our eyes met. His seriously dark eyes are piercing through me. I want to look away, but his eyes are magnetizing mine. It’s crazy. Damn it!He sighed heavily after that then I felt his hand hold mine. He lowers my hand and grips it tightly. My head tilted to cover up my nervousness. I have to remind myself that I should being crazy to him, or I’ll end up like Alqamar. I don’t want to be a slave in my own mate. I want to prove myself that I am different from the others. I removed his hold to me and lower my gaze to avoid his eyes.“You know what? Stop over thinking about it. I won’t be your stepmother so don’t worry,” I said casually. He didn’t talk so maybe it’s my time to leave.Everything is confusing. Mom loved someone else before his mate and it seems like Doctor Raymond didn’t know about the mate thing either. Maybe it was the decision that my mother had chosen. To l
CHAPTER 15We’re both quiet the whole time we’re walking down towards the ice cream shop. He’s walking behind me, and I am very conscious because of it. I feel like he’s staring at me. I can’t believe that I am getting conscious because of him. I have never felt this way before. Even with Alqamar. I was always proud and confident but when it comes to him…I am losing it all.We both stopped in front of the shop. I glanced at Ronald who’s also looking at the shop.“Find us a seat, I’ll order for us,” he suggested. We both looked at each other. I raised a brow and crossed my arms.“Do you think I’ll let that? I’m gonna pay my own ice cream,” I said snobbish and walked first inside the shop. I smirked when I felt him followed me. I suddenly forget why he chooses not to throw hate at me. The first time we had interaction, he hated me to the roof, maybe because he
CHAPTER 16After we finished our ice cream we decided to come outside. I noticed how dark the night is. The stars are only few, and the moon is covering with the fog from above.“I’m going now. It’s late,” I told him. I felt his eyes went to me, but I refused to look back. I remained my eyes to the lonely dark night.“Isn’t it a bit dangerous for you to stroll around when it’s late?” he said coldly. I was a bit stunned by his words that I couldn’t help myself anymore but to look at him, to know if he’s serious or just being funny. But when I met his eyes, it was so serious that I almost felt goosebumps.“I-It’s safe—”“Where’s your house? I’ll walk you home,” he insisted. I bit my lower lip as a smile slowly creeping on my lips. I don’t know why but it’s making my heart explode. What the hell am I feeling? I feel lik
EPILOGUERonald MadrigalEverything is normal. I have a good life. I grew up without a mother, but I am still contented with my father who devotes himself in his work and for being my father. That’s why I grew up admiring my father. I looked up to him so much that everything he does means so much to me.“Ronald…” my father called me one fine afternoon. I just went out of my room, just finished the new science book that my father bought me yesterday.“What?” I asked and come to him. He was sitting on our couch in the living room while holding a newspaper.“What are you doing in your room?” he asked. My brows furrowed.“I just finished reading the book that you bought me yesterday,” I said. He sighed heavily. Like it’s been his problem all along.“That’s why I don’t want to buy you books. You always lock y
CHAPTER 90We had a great time together. Chairman always understand everything. He always does but sometimes he makes a decision recklessly but, in the end, he always realized his fault and fix everything. That’s why I like him as a boss. He’ll be discharge by tomorrow and will go back to his office.I don’t know if he already talks with Hendrick, but I know Hendrick will also understand his father. I told Chairman that I’ll just do something outside. He just nodded before I left him there. I smirked and was about to enter the elevator to go to Ronald’s office when Rael and Gray appear in front of me. They are breathing heavily like there’s a big problem we are facing.“What the hell is happening?!” I asked a bit worried.“Let’s go outside first, Cristine,” Rael said whimpering. My brows furrowed as my heart beating fast. What is it this time? We went outside.“No
CHAPTER 89I watched Ronald as he sleeps peacefully. We had a rough night and I know he’s still tired. I can’t help but to hide my smile while watching him sleep like this. I feel like we’re free from everything. I feel like we’re the only people here in this world. I thought that I still could stop my feelings to fell so deeply but unknowingly I am drowning slowly.I stared at him the whole morning until he wakes up. He smiled at me and kissed the side of my lips. My heart softened at that move. Damn it!“How long did you stare at me?” he asked huskily. My cheeks flushed but remained staring at him. “I wasn’t staring at you. I just wake up too,” I lied. He looked at me suspiciously while I try so hard not to get caught.“I know when you’re lying, Cristine…” he chuckled and snaked his arms around my naked waist. He pulled me closer to him. The little distance we h
CHAPTER 88A moan escapes my lips as he started to kiss my jaw down to my neck. I can feel the electricity flowing in me. I feel so hot and burning. His tongue grazed my skin as his other hand slowly reached my bottom and lifted me up to make my legs snaked at his waist. I moaned louder when his hands successfully unhooked my bra. He let it fall on the ground as his mouth quickly encircled around my peak. My body arched as a new whirl of pleasure boiled in me.I feel like all parts of my body is on fire. And he’s the flame that controlling that fire and causes my body to burn. I moaned helplessly when he started to lick and sucked my nipple while his other hand is now starting to travel down on my wetness. Damn it! I am too far crazy to even stop him. Damn! I don’t even want to stop him.I want him to continuously touch me. I want him to kiss and touch me like there’re no tomorrow. He pushed me more to lean behind the wall the mom
CHAPTER 87As soon as I went at the lobby, I saw Ronald leaning on his car maybe waiting for me. I walked towards him. He stood properly as he saw me coming towards him.“Are you done?” he asked. I nodded. “Yes,” I answered. He opened the passenger seat of his car. I quietly slid in. He turned towards the driver seat and entered the car.“Are you sure that you don’t want to live with me?” he asked still trying to persuade me to live with him. I didn’t look at him and fixed my eyes on the window as the car passed by every establishment.“We already talk about this, Ronald,” I said seriously. He didn’t speak again after that until the car stopped at the house where Alqamar and Rael, Gray are living. I can’t believe that I manage to live with those three for five years.“Should I live with you instead?” my eyes widened when Ronald said that. I immed
CHAPTER 86My brows furrowed and stepped backwards so that I could stay away from him. I don’t know why Hendrick is suddenly like this.“Why are you asking?” I asked trying to sound nice to him. I don’t want to be rude to him because he’s still my boss and he’s been kind to me, but I hope he won’t invade my space again. He looked away. He noticed my indifference towards him. He stepped backwards and slid his both hands inside his pocket.“N-Nothing…I’ll…leave now. Watch dad while I’m gone,” he said quickly and left the room. I stared at the door where he went outside, still confuse of what’s happening with Hendrick. I sighed heavily and just sat down on the couch near me. I rested my head and stared at the ceiling.Until now I still could feel Ronald’s touches on mine. It feels like every touch of him marked on my skin. It was so deep that it was so h
CHAPTER 85Pleasure filled my body. I feel burning in Ronald’s every touch and when he filled me with his long and hard shaft, I moaned so loud. I feel like everyone in the hospital heard me! Damn it!I can feel Ronald’s power as he entered me. Every time he touched me, I am burning, my whole body feel so heated as his warmth dominate me. I didn’t know that an idea of doing it here in one of the empty spaces here in the hospital makes me so crazy. It feels…exciting. It was in between excitement because of breaking the rules. Damn it! I’ve never known that Ronald like this kind of things.After some powerful pump I felt my thousand spasms come within me. I moaned in pleasure as Ronald come next. We both breathed heavily. Our heavy breathings are the first thing we did after those heated moments. He rested his forehead on mine. His sleepy eyes are staring at me. I swallowed hard as his lips rose for a smirk.&ldq
CHAPTER 84I watched Ronald as he put the plate in front of me full of foods. He cooked our breakfast after what happened in the bathroom. I didn’t know that Ronald has all that energy in this early morning. I can’t help to feel my cheeks warmed as I remember what happened to us inside that bathroom. I don’t think I could forget that.He sat down in front of me with also the plate in front of him. “Let’s eat now,” he said so I nodded and started the food. This is not the first time I tasted his foods he made but it’s still really delicious. I am still amaze that someone a guy like him can cook like this.“What do you want to do, today?” he asked after a while. My brows furrowed at what he said. I stopped eating and focus my eyes to him.“You have word today, Ronald.” I told him. He looked at me. “Tonight’s my duty,” he said. So…he’s free this mor
CHAPTER 83I woke up feeling peaceful the next morning. I feel like I am in the safest place, and I just want to stay right here. I opened my eyes and saw Ronald sleeping next to me. Something in my heart pinched. Seeing Ronald beside me first thing in the morning makes me so happy but at the same time hurt. I’ve been longing for him for so many years and I couldn’t believe this is happening.I am straddling my arms around his waist while his arm is around my waist. I smiled as I traced my eyes in each corner of his face. He’s not wearing any glasses right now. I remember the first time I saw him without it, I was completely captivated and until now I can’t believe that there’s nothing change instead it intensified.My eyes started on his soft hair, it was shiny and black. His brows are thick and long. They are damn beautiful. His eyes were deep. I can see his long thick black eyes lashes from here. His nose is so poin
