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
THE SUN was glowing brightly and Keisha was gazing outside the car and watching the amusement park be filled with adults and kids who would like to enjoy the thrilling rides. Eros noticed how bored she seemed. "Where do you want to go?" he asked and she turned to him with a smile. "Here. It sure looks great," she said with a forced smile. Eros wanted to go here saying it would be fun so she obliged. Now seeing the amusement park, she wasn't going to be so amused after all. "No, actually. Where do you want to go? I want you to enjoy today," he said lovingly and she thought for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, an answer popped inside her head. "A shooting range," she muttered, and his eyebrows raised. He started the engine and started to drive off. "Interesting choice but alright," he commented. He called someone on the phone and asked about nearby shooting ranges they can visit. After a few minutes, they confirmed a location and made sure the facility was safe for the
"Keisha seemed to be not feeling well. Was there anything else that happened inside the shooting range?" Eros asked one of the guards that were following them. His wife hasn't left the bedroom since they got back and wouldn't eat any food that was given. It was so unlike her. "A man left the bathroom before she went out as well," the person reported and his eyebrows rose in anger. "What? And you didn't bother to check?" he asked in annoyance. He slammed his hand on the table, thinking it might be Shadow who met her behind his back. He opened his phone and showed a photo of Shadow but only confusion was shown on the man's face. "He was a bit older," pertaining to the man who exited the bathroom."How about this man?" Eros showed a photo of an older man. The guard examined it and nodded his head. "Yes, it might be him." Eros sharply inhaled before closing his phone. "I have not seen him properly yet but the man earlier looked a bit like him despite wearing sunglasses and a hat," the m
"You're underestimating my strength." Keisha held the rope with both her arms and wrapped it around his neck to pull him away from her. She grabbed each end and pulled them apart to squeeze his neck. The pain made him let go of Keisha. She took this opportunity to pin him against the wall but he managed to back away fast enough to make her slam to the wall behind them. She groaned in pain as she felt blood drip down her shoulders. "Fuck," she whispered, knowing that her scar was ripped open. The door of the elevator closed and it started to go down. She used her foot to trip him down. After he fell to the ground, she grabbed the gun on his belt and pointed it at his head. "Unpredictable," he commented in amusement. After Keisha thought she got the upper hand, he grabbed both sides of her legs from behind his back and pulled them to the front. He flipped both of them over, making him on top. "Aren't you a little dangerous?" he asked with a chuckle before grabbing the gun and poin
