Josiah
Seeing Eunice with Dorian made me see red. I couldn’t stop myself from probing. I can’t stop myself from asking why I feel this way when I know I shouldn’t.
Eunice is my wife on papers. I should stop this feeling.
But I couldn’t.
I couldn’t stop myself from caring for her. I couldn’t stop this awful feeling in my chest whenever I see her with someone else. It sucks. This fucking sucks.
Eunice is mad at me. I can see from the way she glares at me that she is. I don’t understand why though.
We’re all seated in front of the dining table and I just helped her place food on her plate. It took me a lot of courage to do that because all of my friends are watching.
Sage smirked at me and I just gave him a lazy smile.
I looked back at Eunice who’s busy eating her food right now. She’s not looking up but then I saw Dorian staring at her as she eats.
<EuniceMy soul has left me. My strength too. And my sanity.Josiah’s lips are on mine and I could not believe that I am enduring his soft kiss without trembling too much. He lifted his face and his eyes met mine.I could hear the banging in my chest. I hope he doesn’t because I don’t want him to. I don’t want him to know how nervous I am right now.I stared back at his pitch black eyes and almost got lost in them if only he didn’t lean in to give me a deeper kiss.My eyes are wide opened at how expertly his lips moved against mine. His hand moved at the back of my head, pulling my face closer to him.He swiped his tongue on my lower and I almost gasped at his move. He continued to deepen the kiss making my eyes close and slowly responded to his lips.My heart is beating erratically, like it wants to leap out of my chest with every move Josiah’s mouth does. I haven’t felt like
JosiahI watched Eunice sleep in my arms. She cried a lot tonight and it’s all because of me.I hated myself for that. Was I deserving of her tears? Dorian said I am a douche, and I admit to his claim. I am a douchebag for having a wife and a girlfriend at the same time.My friends told me to not lead Eunice on but what have I done? I kissed her and now I’m cuddling with her on our bed. I didn’t know why I have to do that.Eunice is innocent among all this. I was guilty of everything.I took a deep breath and pulled her closer to me. I am guilty of everything but why does it feel so right now that she is in my arms? It feels so right that I don’t care if I’d be guilty for the rest of her life.I stared at her face and my eyes went to her lips. My breathing hitched when I remembered how good her lips tasted. Her kiss is like a forbidden fruit. It’s worth a grave sin.I could remember
EuniceMy classmates’ eyes were on me as I entered the classroom. They were all giving me confused and curious looks as I went to my seat. Normally, I wouldn’t care about it because I don’t want other people’s opinions to get to me. But right now, they are looking at me like they are judging me…and Josiah.I opened my book and just focused on the lesson that we will discuss today. I tried to shake off all the stares because I refuse to give their stares some validation.My phone suddenly vibrated.Josiah: I’m in my room now.My heart immediately raced the moment I read Josiah’s name on the screen. Sometimes, I think this is not healthy. I feel like if my heart continues to react like this to him, I would see death earlier than my right time.I was going to ignore it but then as I was going to put my phone back inside my bag, it vibrated again.Josiah: This is so boring. I can
JosiahWatching Eunice eat is so fascinating, especially now because of the curious eyes of her friends.I know that they know how Eunice and I started. They were at the wedding and they probably know a lot about our marriage.Nanette was throwing me glances as I continued to feeding Eunice. She heaved a heavy breath. “Are you serious with our friend?”Eunice stopped chewing and narrowed her eyes at her friend. She was obviously taken aback and I can’t deny that I am, too.Among all her friends, I believe Nanette and Mitch are the straight-forward ones. Mona was obviously quiet but I believe that she’s like Dorian. She only talks once but it seeps into the system.I looked at Nanette and nodded. “I am.”Nanette raised her brows. Mitch leaned on the table as she gave me a look like asking me to elaborate more on that. Mona was blankly staring at me like she’s trying to weigh me
EuniceMona’s words bothered me the whole day. I didn’t even know what to tell Josiah to make it up to him.“Don’t look at me like that,” Mona chirped when she caught me glaring at her.We are now in the hideout as we’re about to discuss our game plan. Well, we don’t really have a game plan. We just love talking about the gangs that we beat who keep sending us gang fight invitations.I took a deep breath and cocked my head to the side. “What was that? You totally acted so rude to Josiah!”Mona gave me a confused look. “I was stating a fact.”Nanette laughed while Mitch was shaking her head.“Yes, but did you have to act that way? You looked like you hate him!” I exclaimed.Mona nodded. “I hate guys like him so there must be some truth to your words.”My jaw dropped at what she said. Mona was usually quiet but when s
JosiahWhen I finished taking a bath, Eunice was gone. She wasn’t in our room.I sighed and went to bed. I don’t know if I still have some guts to show myself to her after what happened to her. Now, I’m the biggest asshole in the whole universe.I took my phone and saw Eunice’s message for me.Eunice: Where are you?My heart immediately constricted upon reading her message. She was worried about me. I can see from her expression when I got here. She wanted to know what happened but backed away.Fuck. I broke my promised to her. I told her I will break up with Hannah but I didn’t. I was so into the fact that my mother told her about my marriage that I couldn’t bring myself to end it with her.All this time, Hannah has been keeping all her pain from me. I felt awful and somewhat responsible for that.I waited for an hour until the bedroom door opened. Eunice came on and walked
EuniceI wanted to punch Kyle Kim’s face. He’s been trying to hold my hand even though I was so adamant in letting him know that I don’t want to.I hated how I accidentally saw him in a café I stopped over before going to school. I regretted telling Nanette that she could go ahead of me.“Hey,” he cockily said as he saw me ordering coffee on the counter.I decided to ignore him and just focused on ordering but when I was about to pay for my coffee, he handed his card onto the cashier. “Use this for her coffee,” he said.I turned to him, annoyed at what he did. “I can pay for that.”He shrugged. “I know.”I narrowed my eyes at him. “Then why did you have to pay for it?” My voice was almost rising because I am not in the best mood this morning and yet I have to face this asshole.“Because I can,” he replied simply.
JosiahI am fuming mad when I entered the room. Everyone seemed bothered at how hard I slammed the door as I got in.Sage, who is my classmate for this subject, looked at me with a weird expression as I pulled the chair beside him.“Wassup?” he asked as he played with his pen.I took a deep breath. “Nothing,” I replied, refusing to tell him anything because I know how annoying he could be when he knows something.He raised his brow and I know that would ponder on it more than I could even imagine. This guy is annoyingly gossipy.“I don’t believe you, dude.”I rolled my eyes and kept quiet as I tried to calm myself.I cannot believe how Eunice could do that to me! Did she just blatantly leave me for Kyle fucking Kim? Damn it!“If this is about Eunice and Kyle Kim then I think you somehow deserved it,” Sage chimed like it was nothing.I
JosiahBlinding lights.White ceiling.White walls.It’s hard to open my eyes but I can feel an oxygen mask on my face. I must be in the hospital.The last thing I can remember is getting shot by Night Train, who happened to be Kyle Kim as well.Eunice came running to me while crying. I held her face and apologized because I couldn’t do anything to protect her but she cried even more.“Son…” I heard Mom’s voice as I shut my eyes forcefully. She must have noticed the change in my facial expression.I took a deep breath and tried my hardest to open my eyes. I couldn’t feel my whole body. It’s as if I was paralyzed.Mom’s worried but relieved eyes welcomed mine as I opened my eyes. She’s crying as she looked and called my Dad.Mom’s holding my hand and squeezing it. “Thank goodness, you’re awake!” she let out as she
EuniceFuck?Two members of SeQret are down but Nanette is injured. Zinger, apparently and expectedly, used a knife to stab Nanette’s right leg. She’s wincing in pain as Mona assisted her to come near us.Her right inner leg is bleeding profusely. Mona ripped Nanette’s pants where the wound is and applied pressure to control the bleeding.“I hate that bitch!” Nanette seethed with anger.I know. I hate her too.I looked at Zinger who was already smiling in triumph while she looked at us. Now, I won’t hold back anymore. Since they used a knife, I might as well give them a good fight.“Are you next, Gemini?” Zinger said menacingly as she expertly maneuvered the knife on her hand.I glared at her. “Satan really doesn’t play fair, huh?” I said as I picked up a long and thick PVC pipe on the ground.Zinger looked at me with widened eyes. She isn
JosiahThis is not what I had expected when I asked her to watch this horror movie.Usually, most girls would definitely be afraid and clingy but Eunice was different—entirely different. While every single woman inside the cinema was busy screaming in fear, Eunice just sat beside me, ate popcorn and…watched. She didn’t even seem so scared.I tried to hold her hand—and that’s the farthest I could go, I didn’t even hold her hand!—and she let me. I tried to feed her with popcorn but she just glared at me.Oh, heavens! What will I do with her to make her a normal girl? Sure she has some moments where she blushes but those were moments when we are alone in our room…naked inside our blankets. Damn.Eunice looked at me intently as we settled ourselves in an Italian restaurant. She’s already complained of how much calories she’s already had for today but she wanted to eat some p
EuniceIt’s going to start soon.Mitch had already received the letter of the fight information. We’ve been practicing hard on our own. I don’t know what Glyph is up to but I think they are trying to strengthen up, too.15th of October. Same place. Same time. –SeQretThat’s five days from now. Mitch and the rest of the girls are already well prepared. I, too, prepared for that. Five days is a long time to wait but it’s an advantage because we can strengthen more.Except when I think I am feeling so lethargic.“Are you alright?” Mitch asked me.I looked at her. She might have noticed that I am not feeling very well. I smiled to reassure her. “I’m good.”She narrowed her eyes at me, seemingly not buying what I am saying but she just nodded. “You can rest,” she chimed.I smiled and shook my head.
“Hmmm…” I chuckled weakly as Eunice murmured on my chest.We’re in our room, lying on our bed, cuddling. And I couldn’t even think of anything better than this.Her arms are wrapped around my waist while her face rested on my bare chest. I hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head.“Baby, we didn’t use protection again,” I whispered.She slowly looked at me, slightly blushing. “I know,” she replied.I pursed my lips in a thin line. I know that she isn’t ready to have a baby yet and I respect that. I can wait until she’s ready but we’ve just had multiple sexual intimacies without protection.I don’t want her to think that I am trying to get her pregnant. Heck, the last thing that I want her to think is that I am trying to start a family with her even though she’s not yet ready.I sighed and kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry. I c
Eunice“Hey, Eunice. Are you and Josiah together?” one of my classmates from Philosophy asked me.Actually, I was taken aback at her question. This classmate of mine—none of them, as a matter of fact—has never spoken to me ever since the beginning of the semester. But now that a lot of rumors are circulating about me and Josiah, she somehow felt comfortable to ask me. I hate these kinds of people.I gave her a blank stare. “Why do you need to know?” I asked.She bit her lip and tucked a loose strand of her perfectly curled long hair behind her ear. “Everyone is talking about you and Josiah being so close together,” she replied.I raised my brow. “What is it to you, then?”I know when girls ask this. She’s probably one of the hoard girls wanting to be Josiah’s girlfriend. Josiah may not tell me about it but I know that he has tons of girls craving for his
Josiah“They teamed up with Astra,” Stan said as we huddled in the HQ.Just hearing the name Astra, my heart flutters that it hurts my ribcage. Remembering how my wife is in that gang and how they’ve joined forces with our archenemy is going to be the death of me.Sage sighed.“Does that mean we’ll need to take SeQret’s offer?” Charles asked.“No!” I vehemently disagreed.They all looked at me questioningly. I know what they are thinking. They must be thinking that I couldn’t get over Hannah yet but no. I don’t want to team up with some other gang to beat my wife’s gang.Stan creased his brow. “What’s wrong?”I pursed my lips in a thin line before letting out a deep breath. “Please don’t do that…” I told them.They all looked at me in confusion. I feel so stupid begging them not to do that.
Eunice“The leader of Glyph has been trying to contact me,” Mitch said as we all huddled in the headquarters.The three of us waited and listened to what our leader was about to say but I guess all of us knew what Mitch was going to say.“They want a collaboration.”Glyph is the second most powerful male gang. Next to Ventrex. I heard that Glyph lost five consecutive fights with Ventrex. As a matter of fact, no gang has ever won against Ventrex.That’s how powerful and dangerous they are in the underground world.So, I guess, Glyph was already running out of trump cards. Now, they’re trying to join with us.Nanette shook her head. “I don’t like the feeling of this. If Glyph will collaborate with us, then I’m pretty sure Ventrex would bite SeQret’s bait.”Mona glanced at me. “This is so twisted.”Mitch sighed. I just shook my he
JosiahI was so stunned when I saw my wife walking down the stairs. She’s wearing a royal blue dress lined with sequins. Her hair is pulled in a clean low-bun that accentuates the perfect shape of her face.She’s wearing light makeup but it seems like she’s ready to make up my whole world.Eunice stopped in front of me with a narrowed look. “What?” she asked.I grinned and shook my head before taking her hand on mine. “You look like you’re ready to take everyone’s breath away,” I told her.She blushed at my words as we got into the car.Tonight is the launch of the newest chain of pharmacies of Eunice’s dad. It’s a huge event and a lot of high-profiled businessmen are set to be there.Flashes from the cameras welcomed us as we got out of the car. The valet immediately took my keys and I let him park my car.“There are a lot of press people,
