35RUIZ ROYAL ESTATE ••••Alejandro was working on his laptop and reviewing some documents when Diego entered the office."The files contain the person behind the snake," Diego informed him, dropping some files on Alejandro's desk.Alejandro paused his work to open the pictures. It was a blonde woman who didn't look familiar to him."Her name is Ximena Leon, Rafael's ex-girlfriend," Diego added. Alejandro's grip on the file tightened.After a moment of silent anger, he dropped the file and stood up. "Come with me," he ordered Diego, leaving the office."Where are we going, boss?" Diego asked, running after him."To Marcus Ventures. He needs to learn how to keep his properties off mine," Alejandro replied. Before Diego could reason with him, he had already reached his car.Diego helplessly shook his head and followed him.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••MARCUS GLOBAL VENTURES **Diego parked the car, and Alejandro didn't wait for him to get the door. He stepped out himself, hands in his p
36"How does that concern you? She's not even yours," Ximena forced out, and Rafael released her. She began coughing for her life."Yet" he corrected. "She's not mine yet and this is the last time I'll hear about this, or you'll regret ever knowing me!" He flashed her a warning look. Ximena swore she didn't recognize the man before her."This isn't the Rafael I know," she muttered, but it was loud enough for him to hear."Maybe you don't really know me," he said with a dark look before pulling her aside so he could leave the office.Ximena clutched her chest in fright. She turned back to watch his retreating figure and pictured him with Camila. The thought pierced her heart like an arrow. She would never allow it."It won't end until I say so," she said hatefully, clenching her fist.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••RUIZ ROYAL ESTATE •••••"You're much better. You'll be released this evening, but you need lots of rest and don't overwork yourself," Thomas said to Camila, but she just nodde
37A tense staring contest ensued between Alejandro, Camila, and Sofia. Alejandro sat on the couch, legs crossed comfortably, his expression dry."Is anyone going to explain?" Sofia broke the silence."Well...I...he..." Camila scratched her legs nervously, unsure where to start."Your daughter fell ill today. She just got discharged from the hospital and didn’t eat anything last night. As if that wasn’t enough, she wants to starve herself again this morning," Alejandro reported."Hey!" Camila threw him a glare before turning to her mom. "He didn’t return home last night. I couldn’t eat because I was worried about him. I think you should ask your son-in-law what he was doing late at night in the company. Maybe he wasn’t even there."Alejandro's gaze darkened. "What do you mean by that?""I don’t know, you should ask yourself," Camila rolled her eyes and crossed her legs, maintaining a stubborn look.Sofia was lost in what was happening, but one thing that bothered her was hearing that
38After a few minutes of awkward silence, Camila cleared her throat, being the one to start."I’m very sorry about my mom. She gets too extra when she’s worried. I hope you didn’t take what she said to heart," she mumbled."I already told you it’s fine. I should have done enough," Alejandro simply replied."But I’m fine now, aren’t I?" Camila bit her lips.Alejandro turned to face her, looking at her intensely. "Believe me, Camila, no one will ever harass you again. Any package you receive, show it to me before anything else," he said seriously.Camila stared at him for a while and nodded."Good girl," he patted her head. "Now can you eat for me?" He asked, and without waiting for her reply, he called Lucy."Take the flask from her and transfer the food to a plate," he ordered."Transfer the food to two plates," Camila corrected him."Why?" Alejandro raised one of his brows."If you don’t eat, then I won’t eat either," she gave him a daring look."No one has ever done this to me," Al
39BRIARWOOD SCHOOL ****Brett had just finished arranging his books in his locker and was on his way to the classroom when someone grabbed him, covering his mouth and pulling him aside.Before Brett could comprehend anything, lips landed on his, kissing him madly. He struggled to break free from Elijah's arms before slapping him across the face."I'm sorry," Elijah mumbled. "You were driving me crazy out there; I can't seem to control myself anymore," he sighed.Brett wiped his lips. Elijah had dragged him to the male restroom, so he went to the basin to wash his mouth."I'm sorry, Brett," Elijah said again."Can you just leave me alone, Elijah? If you really want me, then what's stopping you from having me anytime you want? Instead, you prefer to act like we are a crime. Then so be it, Elijah! So be it!" Brett complained before leaving the male restroom.Elijah angrily kicked the trash can before looking at himself in the mirror. He thought for a while before going out, but unknown
40 Alejandro hugged her from behind, playing with her nipples. His other hand moved downward to touch her flower."You're no longer on your period. I'm not holding back anymore," he whispered in her ear while touching her, moving his fingers slowly."Alex," Camila sighed and threw her head backward."You have no idea how much I've been holding back these past days. Let's change the plan. Forget the spa; I want you. I'll feel better," he bit her earlobe."But I already spent lots of money," Camila reminded him and herself. He was trying to tempt her, but nothing was changing the fact that she would take care of him today."I can send them back to you," he licked her neck, and one of his fingers entered her. He began moving in and out, not stopping until she splashed her cum."Alex," Camila held his hands, but she didn't know if she wanted to push him off or make him keep going."Just cum for me, wifey. I just need to taste it again," he pleaded.Things were going out of plan, but she
------41------Camila was roused from sleep by the sound of Alejandro's voice as he spoke to someone on the phone. His laptop was open, and a few documents were spread out before him. She carefully pushed herself up and approached him."I thought we agreed you'd rest?" she mumbled, pouting her lips.Alejandro ended the call and placed his phone on the table. "I was bored, and you were asleep. I didn't want to wake you," he replied, pulling her close to his side."You could’ve just taken a nap beside me. It’s been a long day," she suggested."I don’t take naps," Alejandro simply responded before his phone rang again. Another business call. He answered it.Camila watched him for a while. He looked so serious while talking until a naughty idea crossed her mind. Smiling mischievously, she knelt in front of him and began caressing his thighs. Her actions made Alejandro glance down at her.The sight before him nearly drove him wild. She looked so small, kneeling between his legs, her ey
------ 42------Ace dropped Isabella off at precisely ten o'clock. She sat in the car, clutching her bag a little tighter than usual."Tonight was fun," she mumbled, her cheeks flushed with shyness."Yeah, I love it when your tongue plays with my tongue ring. I should wear a bigger one next time, just for you," he winked."Hey!" Isabella’s cheeks grew even redder. She glanced at the clock and gasped. "10:01! My mom told me to be home before ten. I'm so dead," she mumbled, packing the things he bought for her to leave but before she could touch the car door, Ace pulled her back."Will you go out with me again?" He asked."Set the date," she winked and opened the car door to step out, but on second thought, she rushed back to him and pressed her lips against his. He cupped her face, deepening the kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth. His lips left hers and trailed to her neck."You should leave now, Isabella, before I change my mind and take you home with me," he grunted, strugg
