"You– You pervert!" Before he can even look at her, her hand swiftly hit his face, making him look to the side, as she grabbed the towel away from him. She wrapped the towel around her body and when he looked back at her, she was already covered up. Her movements happened in a split second. Eros held the sides of his jaw as he stared at her with a smirk. "You know we're married, right?" he teasingly asked and smoke was coming out of her ears in anger. "In contract, yes." She slammed the door close and made sure to lock it. She felt shivers down her spine after Eros stared at her like that. She slapped her face a couple of times to snap out of it. "I can't believe that bastard." Instead of making it a problem, she tried to forget what just happened and finished taking a bath. Eros, on the other hand, left her room wondering why she took another bath when she just finished taking one before meeting her father. The smell of her shampoo filled the room when she arrived to meet her f
KEISHA was exercising and training for an hour now when her phone made a sound. She controlled her breathing and drank some water. She opened the message and it read as follows, "The cooking jar was empty. I have to take out the trash too." Her eyebrows raised, realizing it was Shadow. They formulated their own code words using normal conversation sentences in case they needed to do this in secret. The message decodes, "I miss you. I want to kill him now." Looks like someone is running out of patience. She sighed and closed her phone. Nothing was happening and she was so bored. It's been almost a day and a half since they got married yet everything was uneventful. "God strike me down," she begged as she stretched her arms up. Footsteps from behind interrupted her thoughts. She looked behind him and saw Eros wearing a tank top that showed off his bulging biceps and arms. She blinked a couple of times before standing up. "You want to be stricken down, huh?" he questioned before grabb
"And there you were, bragging as the mafia boss' wife. It backfired, didn't it?" Keisha, who recovered from the impact, woke up to the doctor's foul words. The smug look on Elaine's face, while she was checking Keisha's well-being was enough to cause a headache. The night was a blur right after the incident. "Your touch must've been too disgusting for him," Elaine added in a whisper, like a knife to Keisha's throat. She only woke up a minute ago and she feels so attacked. "Really? That's not how he felt at our wedding night," Keisha said in quick wit and the woman's smirk was wiped away. Keisha stood up from the bed and started walking away. "You need to stay in bed, Keisha," the doctor warned but received a scoff instead. Keisha turned her head and glared at her before walking off. "Insult me again and you'll be on that bed next time around," she declared before waving goodbye to Elaine. Keisha sighed heavily and scratched her head. "I can't believe I got knocked out from a s
EROS walked through the halls to talk to Keisha but when her eyes landed on him, she turned around and left. He reached out his hand to call her but didn't have the voice to do so. This was already the third time he tried but still unsuccessful. He kept trying to be as gentle and nice as possible to make up for what had happened. A few minutes later, he found her in the middle of the garden, sitting at the edge of the fountain while using her fingers to play with the water. He put his hands in his pocket and approached her. While she hadn't noticed him yet, she looked at peace. "You can't avoid me forever," he muttered, and she looked up and the smile faded from her lips. Her deep sigh formed a cloud outside her mouth. She has been avoiding him yet he kept being persistent. She was about to stand up when he suddenly slammed his hands on the edge she was standing on and trapped her inside his grasp. His hands were so close to her thighs as he leaned close to her face. Keisha leaned
THEY made it to their hotel destination after a few hours of driving. Eros removed his seatbelt and exited the car. He fixed his suit before walking to the other side of the car. The parking attendant touched the handle of the car and Eros uttered, "I got it." He removed his hand and Eros opened it himself. Keisha looked up at him and he flashed a small smirk. "I couldn't let anyone open the door for my beautiful wife," he seductively teased her. He offered her his hand and she forced herself to accept it. "Thanks, darling," she whispered in his ear after standing up from the car and squeezing his hand tightly. He clenched his jaw and smiled through her anger. "Shall we?" he asked and she nodded her head. She wrapped her arm around his as they walked to the hotel entrance. Her blue dress contrasted with the sunny weather. In their part of the country, it was colder than it is here. Winter is coming yet the warm breeze was comforting to the skin. "Once the media finds out we'r
REYNA was walking around the mall since a mission was set inside. An exchange would be happening and they need it to be prevented. She personally involved herself in this to distract her mind from personal thoughts. Now all she needs to think about is the mission alone. "I got eyes on him," she reported in her earpiece. She walked on the first floor while the man she was tailing was walking on the second floor near the balcony. "He's heading inside the restaurant," she reported again once he made another move. She walked to the escalator and stepped on it. "Wait for my signal–" The bag she was holding was snatched away. She looked behind her and the culprit bolted off. She cursed under her breath as the escalator continued bringing her up. "Shadow takes over the mission." Her command was followed while she pushed everyone away to get back down. She went against the escalator's movement. It took a few seconds but she made it to the bottom. Despite being in her heels, her movements w
Keisha walked on the beach as he led her to the yacht he had prepared. She watched as the fireflies flew under the trees, lighting up the dark path ahead. She sharply breathed in to smell the fresh air encased with the scent of the ocean. "If I knew we'd be going here, I wouldn't wear such casual clothes," she uttered with a laugh as she stretched her hand around. "Why not? There's no one here to impress," he reasoned and she rolled her eyes. She was not planning to impress him, but the thought crossed her mind. At least get to his good side this way, right? "Ladies first," Eros uttered softly as he held her hand to help her enter the yacht. Upon stepping on, she noticed a path filled with petals of roses leading to the front of the yacht. She looked behind her and Eros nodded his head, reassuring her it was okay to go further. Keisha explored the place and finally reached the end of the flower path. A soft mattress was on the floor and it was covered with thick blankets and almost
Eros held her back and pressed her down on the bed while kissing her neck lightly. Keisha was showered with love marks all over her neck. His sweet nothing whisper was like a drug to her. She didn't know a simple kiss would escalate this quickly but she knew better. This needs to stop right away. It was only to distract and prove to him he has her loyalty as his pretend wife. She grabbed him by the neck and pushed him forward. Eros got surprised when she held his neck firmly as if to choke him. "Rough, huh?" he teased with a wide smirk. The darkness of his hair made his facial features shine brighter. He looked hotter and better just from a simple hair dye turning his hair black. Keisha was about to tell him to stop what they were doing but the weather did it for her. The sky lit up from the lighting of the stroke from heaven. The rain started pouring down, first slowly, until it rained harder. Eros got off of Keisha and stood up. Keisha let out a sigh of relief before standing up a
