Tera stepped out of the black sedan with two female bodyguards on either side. The women were dressed in lilac dresses with exposed shoulders, flowing from the waist down, and rose gold five-centimeter high heels.Her appearance caught the attention of the mall visitors she passed by. Her beautifully curved body was accentuated by the dress she wore. Her exposed shoulders with a Sabrina cut revealed flawless skin. Tera took good care of herself, except for her weight, which she found difficult to lose.The mall Tera visited was known for its exclusive atmosphere. It housed various well-known brand stores that sold high-quality goods. The prices of food and drinks in this mall were twice as expensive as in other malls. Only famous brands were allowed inside, so the visitors were mainly from the middle class and above, those who could afford to spend any amount needed for shopping.The visitors were not only attracted to Tera's unique appearance but also to all the items she used. A set
"Where are you going?" whispered Sebastian, appearing from behind.Tera assessed her appearance in the mirror carefully. Today, she was wearing a tight knee-length pencil skirt and a light brown silk shirt, a color that gave a nude impression to Tera's overall look. Tera's skin and the color of the silk shirt were almost the same, if it weren't for the black tight span skirt that she paired with it, which cinched at her waist. The span skirt was made of a tight rubber material that accentuated Tera's captivating hourglass figure. It showcased her small waist and flat stomach, then curved down over her hips and large behind, ending at Tera's knees that were pressed together. Tera truly looked like a very sexy hourglass.Sebastian placed both of his hands on Tera's hips, kissed her shoulder, and inhaled the delightful fragrance that he loved. He then wrapped his arms around her waist, hiding his face in her exposed neck."You smell amazing. Where are you going with such a sexy look? Don'
Tera did not understand why a bag could cause such a commotion on the round table she was sitting at. Meanwhile, the occupants of the tables near the stage looked very relaxed, even though they were carrying various limited edition crocodile leather bags. Half an hour later, Tera realized that there was a class difference in this room. The front table was reserved for high-level conglomerate executives, while the back table was only for socialites with excessive style.The wife of the General Manager, like Eva, could not be compared to the wife of the CEO of a multinational company. Local business owners like Rosaline could not be compared to the successors of a giant corporation. And some of the people at Tera's table came from different backgrounds than those at the front table.It was truly a useless class and stratification.Furthermore, Tera did not expect to have a friend like Rosaline, who openly talked about Tera's identity and all the details about the expensive bag she was ca
Valerie's shameless remark escaped Valerie's mouth with a loud voice, reaching the table next to them. The upper-class women began to take notice of the commotion happening at the table behind them. Tera, who was lazy to entertain all the attention, continued to stare at the stage, pretending not to hear and ignoring her cousin Ramon Zhang's words.Whispered rumors filled the room instantly, and the women's eyes started to glance at Tera with meaningful and speculative looks. At that moment, Tera's ears caught some women spreading the news that she was an old man's mistress. How unfortunate. Unable to bear hearing further rumors, Tera chose to stand up from her seat and walked towards the donation committee's table."Excuse me, I'd like to give my donation now."The two committee members who were busy with their notes raised their faces with surprised expressions, looking at Tera curiously."But, the donation is at the end of the charity.""Can I give it now because I can't stay here
Throughout the event, Tera was known as the caretaker of Mr. Sebastian Lim's children, a respected member of the Lim clan. No one disputed Valerie's statement, not even Tera herself.Tera simply smiled in response to Valerie's disapproval because Tera could capture the attention of all the upper-class women with the generous donation from Mr. Sebastian Lim that she brought. She returned to her seat and explained everything honestly to Eva and Rosaline, who demanded an explanation.After the event, as the women gathered to take a group photo with the organizers, they all left the room one by one. Of course, what should have been a calm and smooth exit turned into an unpleasant experience due to the rumors that Valerie spread. Tera never expected that her distant cousin, Ramon , would be so annoying.Valerie continued to whisper to many friends about the rumor that Tera was an old man's mistress, which explained her expensive bags, and that Tera couldn't have a relationship more than ju
The man ignored the disbelief that escaped Valerie and everyone's mouths. He pulled Tera's hand and left the crowd, quickly walking out of the lobby."Get in!" he hissed, cold and stiff.Tera, sensing the clear danger, got in the black sedan without saying much. The woman sat silently next to Sebastian, who was equally quiet.With the corner of her eye, Tera cautiously glanced at her husband.Sebastian appeared stern, staring at his phone screen while typing something. His jaw twitched a few times, with his forehead muscles tensing.Rather than seeking trouble with meaningless chatter, Tera turned her head to look at the busy streets. Secretly, Tera let out a small sigh. Everything that happened during the frivolous event gave her a headache. Rosaline and Eva's lies, Valerie's disturbance, Ramon 's ice cream date invitation, and big boss' sudden arrival. All the complications that Tera thought would never happen in her life.Tera was a simple person. She lived her life straightforward
The person spoke with a cold yet threatening voice. His face was stern, his eyes were wide open and his breath was fast and heavy. Tera did not expect this kind of response from Sebastian. Not a friendly smile and permission to go out without any rules.Tera's slow response made Sebastian growl. He entered quickly and stood behind Tera, staring at his wife's face through the glass."Answer me, where are you going? Why did you ask the driver to be ready in an hour!?" Sebastian demanded."Just looking for some refreshment! Didn't you yourself say that I could look for some refreshment?"Sebastian's frown deepened. His disapproval and dislike became clearer on his face. Sebastian squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and clenched his jaw."With whom?" Sebastian asked.'Waiting for a response. If there's no A, then there's B. I just need to wait and choose the right time.'"Oh, so this is how you spend your time as a housewife who stays at home? Dating around?""I just follow what my husban
"Argh! You're so yummy .. "Sebastian sighed in relief, the man shifted from above the woman's body. Thanks to Tera's persistence in persuading and forbidding him to go with a slightly awkward flirtation,Sebastian also gave up his intention of going to a nightclub because he was tempted by his wife's advances.When else would Tera entice him with an aggressive kiss initiated on her own initiative?When else will Tera hug the man and let go of every ego and self-esteem she has.So, Sebastian took advantage of this rare opportunity to touch his wife again, coax her, make hot love, until the two of them returned to the competition ready to be colonized. This time Tera was more aggressive in touching him, the woman's hands never stopped pleasing Cavendish until it made Sebastian gasp. Begging softly that Tera would help him reach the peak of pleasure.In fact, once again the woman refused to give herself up completely and Sebastian, who was absurdly unable to give up halfway. The man com
Three Months After Tera Spent Time with Nora!Sebastian Lim sat restlessly beside Tera—precisely inside the aircraft cabin soaring above the European land. They were en route to Switzerland for a year-end holiday after completing business in London. A brief vacation amid the CEO responsibilities at Trust Group was a privilege Sebastian cherished. When else would he have the time and opportunity to introduce Nora to the outside world, especially to snowy Europe? Nora would undoubtedly love the winter season, as the little girl often watched it in her favorite shows."Sir, is it true that Mrs. Herlinda will join us in Switzerland?" Tera asked, trying to ignore her boss's uneasiness."Yes, but not for a few more days. Mam is busy handling business in Indonesia.""In that case, may I leave earlier from this holiday?""What do you mean?""This is the year-end vacation I've been looking forward to all year. I promised to spend it with my sister in our hometown. So, I intend to ask for permi
On the first day as Nora's caregiver, Tera Vic took on the responsibility, leaving all meetings and tasks to fulfill the duty assigned by Da Lao Ban - taking care of a tantrum-throwing toddler longing for her father.Tera invited Nora and Sofia to play together in Sebastian Lim's private room within the main office. The room was filled with various toys, dolls, a fridge with play food, a hot water dispenser for making milk, a bottle sterilization machine, and other necessities.Originally Sebastian's resting place, the room transformed into a temporary bedroom for his child during office visits. Tera had heard that occasionally Da Lao Ban brought his toddler to the office, spending the entire day in the room due to Sebastian's unending business engagements.Sebastian Lim, known as a single man with a child, appeared worn-out and tired that day. Some new employees, like Tera, initially speculated about Sebastian being a single father due to a pregnancy outside of marriage, but Tera's s
Tera bid farewell to some guests in the Lim family mansion's flower garden. It was Mrs. Herlinda's birthday, and Sebastian organised an exclusive surprise party for his mother. Tired of repetitive pregnancy questions at the main event, Tera sought solace in the quiet right wing of the mansion near an artificial lake and lush trees, enjoying a cup of sweet tea.Unexpectedly, she found Raymond and Ethan there, sipping coffee and laughing. Seeing three cups, she guessed one was Sebastian's."What are you doing here, dear?" Sebastian appeared, embracing Tera."You startled me!" Tera exclaimed as she turned around."Look, we have a Tera here!" Ethan grinned.Sebastian explained their presence, and Tera playfully accused him. The trio enjoyed coffee while Tera and Sebastian shared a moment on a sofa.Raymond remarked on the surprising turn of events, referencing Sebastian's past visit to a club in a state of sexual frustration. Ethan chuckled, pointing out their happiness at Tera and Sebast
"For someone who's not fighting for anything, you also don't have the right to question me!" Sebastian replied."Are we going to continue like this? Arguing and fighting! Are you tired? I am exhausted. It's sickening to keep arguing with you!""If you're feeling sick, then I'm nauseated! I'm sick of your attitude!" Sebastian growled."Seb, what's wrong with you? Are you the same Sebastian I met yesterday, or are you a disguised ghost?""Cut the crap, Tera! Answer honestly, who's in your womb!" Sebastian didn't accept any nonsense and attacked her with a loud voice.Tera was stunned. She didn't expect Sebastian to respond so harshly."Seb..." Tera whispered."Don't cry! I don't want to see tears today! No more melodrama or nonsense! I just want an honest answer. Whose child is it, Tera? Is the child mine?"A teardrop rolled down the corner of Tera's eye. Her eyes widened perfectly due to the pressure and Sebastian's anger. She didn't expect the calm morning to turn into chaos."I don't
which is cool in the middle of thriving vineyards. A woman steps between the cabernet sauvignon on the left and right. Cabernet sauvignon is one of the most famous types of grapes and is widely used as the main raw material for making quality wine. The fruit grows abundantly, clustered and hanging ready to be picked. Tera enjoyed the view and the very cool morning air with a big smile on her lips. A smile which then received a reply from several plantation employees who were cleaning the grass which was getting taller. As obstetricians often recommend, Tera tries to have a healthier and stronger pregnancy. This morning she decided to take a morning walk as a form of light exercise that could strengthen her womb. Even though she was lazy and still sleepy, Tera fought it well. She must be able to do light exercise for the good of the child in her womb. Tera took in as much oxygen as possible and then exhaled slowly. A fresh morning intake will improve his mood. Last night Te
"this is it?" Sebastian murmured. His voice was weak. He lowered his head, avoiding Tera's gaze. She nodded softly, "Yes, this is it." She replied softly."Goodbye, Tera." Sebastian said without looking at the woman."Seb," Tera replied in kind.He turned away, his shoulders slumped, and his body language defeated.Tera stood there, motionless in front of her cabin. In the hallway, without looking back, she leaned against the wall for support. Her face was wet from the flowing tears. For some reason, the tears never failed to accompany her in moments like these.Even though this separation wasn't their first, the pain still felt just as strong."You're home already?" Thomas exclaimed as he appeared from the opposite hallway.The middle-aged man hurried to Tera, who was standing there crying by the wall. He embraced her and held her for a while, the young woman's body had become frail and fragile during the time they had been apart.Tera let her tears flow, fully venting her emotions.
Tera was restless, thinking about her unborn child, but she couldn't stop Sebastian Lim from being passionate behind her. He tried different positions to find comfort in their lovemaking, settling into the one that worked best for him. Tera moaned with pleasure, kissing as if there was no tomorrow, and Sebastian's hands firmly gripped her ample breasts."Give it to me, darling!" Sebastian exclaimed, raw and vulnerable.He released their kiss and focused on reaching his desired climax. His movements became more aggressive, rough, and Tera lost control.Amid the relentless pounding, Tera convulsed and her entire body tensed and trembled. She let out incoherent sounds of ecstasy as she reached her peak. Sebastian followed seconds later. He shuddered and thrust harder, his mouth letting out rough profanities as his body contracted and convulsed.It was an intense union filled with pent-up desire. They surrendered to each other, consumed by a longing that couldn't be contained. Tera and Se
Was last night's affair so terrible that it made Sebastian turn so cold, indifferent, and arrogant towards me? Question after question swirled in Tera's mind. The Sebastian Lim she met at the party last night was entirely different from the Sebastian Lim who had barged into her room and the one she encountered this morning. The Sebastian Lim at the party had been vulnerable, openly sharing his feelings and even expressing concerns about infertility and the condition of his heart. But when he forced her last night, he reverted to the Sebastian Lim Tera had known. And now, this morning?Yes, indeed. This morning, Sebastian became even colder and more indifferent. Any trace of the gentleness and warmth that Tera had glimpsed had vanished without a trace. Sebastian looked at Tera with disinterest, and his glances seemed filled with aversion.Tera regretted her curiosity and following Sebastian, finding herself trapped in the elevator. Knowing the consequences, she should have stuck with h
What happened felt like a dream that had never come true. If only Tera hadn't woken up without clothes and only covered in a thick blanket, maybe she would have thought it was a dream in the midst of her loneliness.Tera squirmed and stretched her extremely tired muscles. It was a quick, intense lovemaking that had left her feeling completely fulfilled. She longed for all those touches. She missed Sebastian greatly. This morning, he was the only thing on her mind. She couldn't get Sebastian out of her thoughts, and all the images from last night consumed her.Thomas Vic was puzzled by his daughter's behavior. He glanced at Tera several times and became suspicious when he saw her smile grow wider and more mysterious."Uh-huh...," Thomas cleared his throat, breaking Tera's reverie at the breakfast table, "It seems like someone is in a good mood this morning.""A beautiful morning should start with happiness. So, smile, Dad.""What happened last night? Did Arnold confess his feelings to
