"Tell me you're joking..." I was still in disbelief since silence meant yes. He was neither agreeing nor deflecting it, but I assumed he did. "Sebastian...?"

Sebastian sighed and laid his head on my chest again, making me uncomfortable. But I did not push him away. Suddenly, he looked adorable to my eyes, knowing how he could be like a puppy, waggling his tail to his master.

"Um... It's fine if you are not going to tell." I meant, why would I force him to say anything about it? I must respect his wishes. It was important that I knew his boundaries despite the curiosity that was eating me to the core.

When he took my hand to intertwine with mine, I almost barked, but he looked up into my eyes. "No. I am going to tell you. I promise to myself that once you are here on our island, I am going, to be honest with you as much as possible."

I almost smiled wryly. He kept insisting that I owned this island, too, when that was not the case. He really assumed that. I really wanted to correct it,

    My eyes widened at the surprised kiss he just gave. I did not protest but found myself kissing him back. It was hard to fight the urge to stop myself from my attraction to this man.But if he was going to ask if I could reciprocate his feelings, I couldn't. I was still doubting it. I felt like I couldn't meet his expectations and that I did not deserve to be paid attention by this man."Sebastian..." A moan escaped from my lips when his lips that bruised mine traveled down to kiss my jaw down to my neck. I clung to him and kept grinding myself when I knew that I was straddling him at this moment. "Cejay..." he said dreamily as he licked, nipped, and nibbled my skin, making me lean back to give him full access to my neck.I couldn't stop myself from desiring this man. Not only that I know that he had longed to have me, but I had been lusting over him ever since I knew that I was attracted to this man. Just this once...

    My heart dropped upon seeing what I had to see right now. I even gulped as my heart started racing rapidly as I kept on checking the files. Who on earth is he? How could he have these files? As I checked the last file, my jaw dropped as my face had gone color for what I was seeing right now. I even dropped it in no time. I stood up, wide-eyed as I leaned on the shelf. I couldn’t believe it... Why did I work for him? Why did I trust him? My eyes roamed around the room. It even made my knees weakened upon seeing what is glued in the rooms. It was horrifying and unbelievable! My heart flipped seeing those photos plastered on the wall. Why does he have so many photos of me? Why are they in portraits? Why does he have so many files which are all about me? My eyes widened as I gasped loudly seeing my younger self on my high school days. “Shit...” I mumbled under my breath, couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He even had candid photos of me even on my college days! What the heck!

    We were brought to a room with all-white backgrounds. And swear, I felt like I was in an asylum. But I have to bear with this. There’s some issue that is needed to be cleared. I have to defend the poor employee here.I slammed the table. “Don’t fire him! He needs the job!” I said angrily, almost hissing from this kind of tormenting treatment they were doing right now.Ms. Perry, a 40-year-old woman, whose hair was a bit blonde, gave me a look. “Ms. Merryweather, I’m not talking to you, am I?”“But...” I closed my mouth when she narrowed her eyes at me telling me to shut my mouth. I rolled my eyes at what was really happening. But I’m getting worried. She’s about to fire him and I couldn’t let that. It’s my fault. They mustn’t blame him for work he didn’t intentionally do.“Mr. Socrates, we have to fire you. Because of you, you brought the whole company fully al

    “You offering me what?” I asked Mr. Huntington. Did I hear it right? Did he offer me a position to be his personal assistant? Was he serious?“Be my personal assistant. Since you’re going to file that resignation letter of yours, and we both know once you leave this company, you have no job to apply for right now. So, I’m offering you a job. Just be my personal assistant, Ms. Merrywheather.”I narrowed my eyes, trying to seek if he was just kidding me or not. I don’t see any of it but I saw all his serious features facing me right now.I don’t know what came out of his head as to why he has to offer me that he wanted me as a personal assistant. I knew I could get a lot of salaries if I accepted it but I’m resigning today.

    “What the heck is wrong with you? Are you serious about this?” I asked in disbelief. He said what again? He won’t accept no as an answer? And if I don’t accept his proposal, he won’t fucking leave?Is he dead serious right now?“What do you think, Ms. Merrywheather?” Sarcasm notices in his voice even with his stoic expression right now.I was already frowning. God knows how I want to erase that smirk of his. It’s very irritating to see.“I’m dead serious, Mr. Huntington.” I masked my voice with my all-so-over serious tone. I have to do it because my patience has been in a thin line and if I couldn’t get more serious, I don’t know what I will do to this arrogant guy. I never thought that this is his attitude. And what he said earlier that if I don’t accept it, he will stay? For real? “Are you sure you’re going to stay here, huh? Millions of people need you in yo

    “Good morning, Cejay!”I snorted meeting Marlou’s wide smile as if he found something amusing this morning. I walked to the refrigerator to get some milk and put it in the glass. I didn’t bother to ask Marlou to make me his specialty coffee. With his annoying smile right now, I could kill my gay friend right away.“Now I regret that I told you that happening last night.&r

    I went out to buy Mr. Huntington’s breakfast. I was annoyed by myself while I was inside the elevator after I bought my boss’s breakfast. Like what the hell, self? I could have at least make a phone call for delivery.“Stupid, Cejay!” I muttered under my breath whilst gritting my teeth. I wasn’t using my brain properly. I should have thought of making a phone call but I ended up buying outside.

    “Ms. Perry, here are the contracts signed by Mr. Huntington,” I said as I placed down the piled files I was holding on her desk.“Thank you, Ms. Merrywheather.” I bowed my head a little. But before I could return to Mr. Huntington’s office, she called my attention. I tilted my head, perplexed. She then smiled a little. “Welcome back,” that’s all she said and returned to her work.

    I asked while he was carefully putting me down. My eyes widened in admiration, leaving him alone on his ground as I approached them. Oh my, my favorite flower..."Do you like them?"My fingertips touched them before I mindlessly nodded. "Y-Yes..." I was almost rendered speechless since I was surrounded by tropical hibiscus. I was so fascinated that I did not want to leave my eyes on them.I snapped back when in my peripheral vision, I caught Sebastian taking out his phone and taking a photo of me. "Sebastian..." I frowned upon seeing that he was taking another photo of me. This man... He was really such a creep. Sebastian softened and kept his phone in the pocket of his trousers. "Sorry. I just want to cherish this moment with you. Now that you have seen one of my surprises that is meant only for you." With that, he tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear. "God... You are so beautiful, Cejay."My heart raced rapidly from his words. The way his tone sounded that he admired me s

    I quietly went to the balcony, fully clothed with a huge frown sitting on my face. I met Sebastian there whose attention was on the sea."You're here now, love." His eyes were sparkling when he saw me."As if I have a choice..." I said bitterly.He grinned and offered his hand. "I shall tour you around. I want you to familiarize yourself with our private island." His voice sounded gentle as he looked like the prince charming that I had been waiting for.I only stared at his open palm before I walked past him. "Tour me now," I commanded him. I don't care now if he was my boss or not.The point was I was with a fucking creep and I did not know how to get away from him since I was living under the same roof with him.I flinched when Sebastian held my hand without a warning. "L-Let go!" I was flustering right now when he was smiling from ear to ear. "Sebastian!" This damn freaking man... Why couldn't he just leave me alone? "This is harassment!" I said through gritted teeth when he did no

    I was quietly washing the dishes. Until now, his confession kept ringing inside my head.I managed to have Sebastian distance himself from me. Thank goodness that he listened this time.With the confession he revealed, I felt like I did not know how to face him. I had been questioning myself.Of all the women he had to fall in love with, why me? I was an uninteresting individual. How come he had to like and love me?When I was finished, I sneaked out of my room. But as soon as I arrived there, there were some new clothes and undergarments on the bed. Creasing my forehead, there was a letter beside them.'You can take a bath and use them to wear them. Then meet me on our balcony, love.Will be yours soon,S.H.P.S. If you are worried about the size of your bra, don't worry, I picked a 34B cup size for you.'That made my jaw drop. "What the fuck? He knew my cup size?" That made me horrified but at the same time, I castigated myself since I must now expect that Sebastian was a creep and

    Sebastian ushered me to go to the dining room. I couldn't lift an attitude with him as soon as he helped me to sit down and prepared breakfast for me."I know that you do not have many favorites when eating something in the morning. You like a meal that will surely fill your stomach," Sebastian said as he sat across from me. It was somehow bizarre to see him smiling. "So, I prepared the food that you will certainly like."Yes, he surely smiled but he would only do that if he was teasing me or he was in a good mood. But seeing him that he was always smiling seemed refreshing to me. What I knew from working with him for a whole year that would turn into two years was he was always grumpy.There were times that he would snap at anyone."I don't want to stay here..." I said as Sebastian was filling my plate. My heart was reacting so fast having him so close as he served me like I was his queen."Eat up." He certainly ignored my statement. "I will show you our island. I am certain that you

    "T-This isn't funny, Sir Sebastian." I slowly stepped back when he slowly took strides in my direction. My heart was beating so fast with every step he took.I felt more trapped than before.Sebastian drew out a condescending smile on his lips. "Who says that I am even jesting, Cejay?" I shivered when he held my chin and forced me to look at him. "Did you even see in this very room that screams everything about you, love? Do you know what this means?"I gulped, looking intently at his possessive gaze.He asked me what they meant. I started to think carefully. He had so many files which were all about me. Even candid photos.From elementary until now... It was as if he had been watching me for a very long time.If I would count the years he knew me, it was... more than 15 years?!I gasped and looked at Sebastian, horrified at the conclusion I reached right now. "I-I am the one you are talking about you love for s-sixteen years?" I parroted, hearing how my heart was racing rapidly.Seba

    I knew too well that I wouldn't get to concentrate on the movie I was watching.Sebastian was distracting me with the way he was cackling. It sounded so gorgeous and it made me want to straddle my boss for some reason.I snapped back, paying full attention to the movie I was watching."Say... Do you also bring your date here?" I asked when I started grasping the movie I was watching."Have I told you that I never dated anyone?" I looked surprised at his words. "I told you that I have loved someone for more than 15 years." He arched his eyebrow.My heart skipped a beat when he was looking at me intently. The way he looked at me, it felt like he was confessing his love to me."Ah, yes. Lucky her." I nodded. Such a lucky girl. However, I was the one who kissed him. Did it mean that I was his first kiss if ever? "Wait. You love someone else but you kissed me?" I was somehow surprised at my question. But I realized whose fault it was. "I mean well, yes, it is my fault. I am sorry about tha

    Shit... What on earth was he doing here in this place?His ocean blue eyes pierced me. "Fancy meeting you here, Cejay."I inhaled sharply, gulping. Fuck... I just saw him yesterday and now, I had to see him right at this moment? Oh, fuck me! I wanted to die in shame right now!I smiled wryly. "Yeah..." Now, I feel awkward. However, he didn't look like he was being awkward to me. "What brings you here?" I asked, trying to lift up the conversation so I didn't have to remember what I did to him.But what he did to me suddenly crossed my mind. It was unbelievably hot as well. Crap...Sebastian shrugged. "I am actually in the mood to eat outside. I didn't know you would also be here," he said nonchalantly. His eyes roamed around before his eyes darted on me. "You don't like this kind of restaurant. This doesn't satiate your hunger, I believe."My eyes widened when he came to know that. "Y-Yes. How did you know?" I asked, curious how on earth he knew about that fact."Whenever we tried eati
