Somehow I hoped he wouldn't go drinking, but I was wrong. Just after entering the villa, he whispered goodbye to Arkan. He didn't even glance at me and just walked past me after passing through the door.The wind blew. There's no reason for a problem if he wanted to drink, but I hope he didn't pretend to ask permission earlier."Mom, are you mad?" Arkan asked after noticing my silence."Huh? No, Baby. I'm just kind of tired."Tired of everything, I thought, "When will my life be fixed?" The kind of life where I don't have to push myself with everyone—I don't need to beg for love anymore. There is no need to cling to anyone who I can cling to.I was tired as I sat on the bed, where Arkan was also sitting. I was shocked after feeling Arkan hug me from behind. He even touched his cheek there."Mom, if it's heavy, let it go. I'm sorry if I make you sad—" "What, Arkan?" I faced him in shock. I can't quite understand why he says that.I felt sorry after seeing his different-colored eyes wi
We didn't stay long at the resort either. The next day, we went home. I even saw Addison staring at me, but I just grinned and showed her how I was clinging to Aldo's arm.I really don't know why she was still weaving such a story. She was close to the old man but still wandering.It's been a week, and we're back at the penthouse. I don't even remember what happened at the resort. My biggest problem now is how to buy birth control pills.I stared at my plate after Aldo put some ham on it."Eat a lot, Mayu. We'll move to my house later."I immediately looked at him, then glanced at Arkan, who continued eating and didn't seem to hear Aldo."We're moving? Why?" I was confused.His penthouse is fine, and I feel comfortable. Also, I'll have a harder time sneaking into the drug store then."What's wrong with that? The penthouse is too small. We need a big home for Arkan and... hm, yeah, for Arkan." He nodded as if convincing himself."Small? This is just right. Also, Arkan and I feel comfor
"Do you really need to drink this?" he asked through his gritted teeth.I wore my poker face and looked at him coldly."Yes. Why not? As far as I know, my role here is only that of a bed warmer, not a hen. So why are you angry about that?I raised an eyebrow at him and was about to leave the kitchen, but he locked me between his arms and the sink.I saw his eyes narrow as his jaw tightened. My back leaned against the sink after he brought his face closer."So you don't want another Arkan?" he lowly asked.I bravely looked at him and frowned before folding my arms."Are you the one going to be pregnant? Are you the one going to give birth?" I asked sarcastically.He didn't move, but he looked at me intently, so I met his gaze as well."If you want another child ASAP, then shove your dick into someone else's cave. Not on mine," I coldly said.I turned to leave, but he didn't remove the hand that was blocking the sink.I heard him breathe heavily, as if stopping himself from his own ange
I moaned louder as he drove me crazy with his moves. While he groaned as he firmly fixed my waist in the bed.We went straight to bed right after the bathroom. And now, I'm clutching the bedsheet with all my force as we reach the climax. Also, dang it! I cannot deny the pleasure and satisfaction I felt as we both reached the highest peak. We were still both panting, catching our breath as the sweat showered our bodies. He was still trying to hold his weight while pouring his seeds inside me, warming my whole system."I surely need to take a pill," I said absentmindedly, afraid to get pregnant again.I thought he would get angry again, but he didn't. He rolled over next to me and nuzzled my waist and stomach before nuzzling his head into my neck."I will choose a brand. I will choose the medicine with fewer side effects or not have any at all," he murmured.Tired, I just nodded and let myself be swept away by sleepiness.I slept peacefully that night. I didn't even get cold from the ai
"Those are much better than the ones you bought, Sweetie."I read the little bottle of pills again. It contained birth control pills, but when I opened it, they were orange. I frowned and met his gaze."Are you sure it's birth control pills, Aldo? It looks like vitamin C."He looked away and snorted slightly. He pretended to have adjusted his neck tie."The doctor recommended that. Well, it's up to you if you want to drink that. It's fine with me if you get pregnant again." He shrugged his shoulders.My eyes widened as I threw a pillow at him softly."Crazy! You only want pleasure. But you're not part of the hardship.""That's my point. I wasn't able to help you with the pain. I didn't even see Arkan as he grew." Sadness appeared in his eyes.I was silent. My conscience punched me even though it shouldn't have. How can he be sure that he will help me if he has a grudge against me?"Anyway, I'll go now. I need to work my asses off again since I am very sure I need a lot of money in the
I stared intently at Addison, who was looking around the living room. I didn't let her see Arkan; I immediately let Arkan go upstairs. I don't even want to believe what she said. I doubt it, and maybe she and Mommy just tricked it."So, where's my soon-to-be husband?" She raised an eyebrow and folded her arms.I grinned a little before sitting on the sofa. I also crossed my legs and raised an eyebrow at her. Did she think her behavior would work for me? Na-Huh."Shouldn't I be the one to ask that, Addison?" I asked sarcastically as she frowned, "I thought you were the one he will marry? Why are you asking me where your fiancé is? It's your responsibility to be up-to-date and well-informed about your fiancé."I raised an eyebrow and smirked at her. She rolled her eyes at me but looked again."My dear Mayu, you're right. It's my responsibility to be updated about Aldo's whereabouts since I'm the one getting married to him. And it's your responsibility to update me about him since you're
"Arkan, don't run, Baby!"He stopped running and looked around the company lobby. He was excited to go upstairs to see Aldo. Aldo went to the company first; he just let the driver pick us up."Mom, so both of you will work?" he asked curiously.I said last night that I would work at his dad's company. I also couldn't just leave him with Yaya Karen, so I took him with me. Aldo has no idea about this. All he knows is that it's just me."Don't worry, Baby. You're in your Daddy's office; do what you want, Arkan." I winked at him, and he grinned.After that, he held my hand, and we went straight to the elevator together. When we got to the top floor, I immediately saw Melani, Karina, and Edril. I smiled widely at them before making my way toward them."Hello! How are you here?!" I greeted them.It's just that their attention is no longer on me but on Arkan. Their lips parted after staring at Arkan. Melani even dropped the folders she was holding and approached my son with wide eyes."Is it
I gently rested my forehead on his neck after his warm palm caressed my thigh. I was almost out of breath when his fingers slowly traveled between my thighs.I clutched his jersey shirt tightly when I felt his finger directly touch what was in between my thighs."You have been bad, Sweetie. Why bring Arkan here?" He murmured as he gripped my thigh.I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn't see."You enjoyed.""Hm, but still. I don't want him to get exposed to this industry yet. I want him to enjoy his childhood and play," he said before one of his hands slowly traveled inside my blouse."He can play here instead of being alone at home. I'm not used to leaving him, Aldo."Even then, I was actually bringing Arkan to my workplace. Even if he is with a trusted person, I prefer to see my son all day."Point taken," he whispered before he bit my ear.I moaned with the sensation and with the heat rushing down in between my thighs, making me wet and aching for more."Aldo!"I harshly bit my l
Aldo Hendrix CastellanosI still clearly remember Mayu, whom I saw in the party's garden. Honestly, the first time I saw her, I was sure she was definitely not my type. Glancing at her gown, I knew she would be one of the candidates. That's why I myself went looking for Addison to give me the box that I secretly took from Grandpa.I don't like this plan either, and I have no intention of getting married. And who would be happy in an arranged marriage? No one. And so, as much as I could, I tried my best to give the box to the person I somehow liked.I didn't know, and I was unaware that fate played me so very well. I didn't have a plan for the first night either, other than to scare her, but it seems that fate has a better plan for the two of us and will let something happen and make me crazy about her.I scolded myself every hour for that. And I almost cursed myself for not being satisfied for a night when it was on my mind almost every night and trying to mess up my system.And I th
My nervousness never stops for fear that he might have another bad plan. I didn't even realize I had dialed Addison's number. It was too late, and I couldn't end the call after hearing her artistic voice. I lost focus on Stella and switched to my cellphone."Now, you called me. What, Cheap Bitch?" I think she is still working on the other line.I also started crying, "I just pressed the call button. As if I were going to call you. Bye—""Wait! Don't hang up yet!" She held back, so I couldn't press the end button."What, Bitch?" I tried to mimic her.I heard her whisper, but I also cleared her throat."I'm sorry."My forehead knotted, and I seemed deaf. Did I hear her right?"What?""I said, I'm sorry!" Her loud scream made me wince and hurt my ears, "I'm sorry, but if you don't want it, then don't!"I shook my head. How can I accept a sorry like this?"Not forgiven—""Who cares? I'm just saying sorry because I don't want Mommy to leave us again. Tss," she said, raising her voice, whic
"Aldo, that's enough!" I protested after he didn't stop.But he didn't listen and just continued making me laugh."That's enough! I can't breathe anymore; I'm going to eat." I snorted and grabbed both of his hands, but he just laughed softly from behind."You're bad! It will be your fault if the baby gets dislocated," I threatened.He was stunned for a moment and moved in front of me, asking, "What? Is there a thing called dislocation in pregnancy?"He frowned and seemed confused. I voluntarily groaned and shrugged my shoulders."There is now—""You're bluffing," he said, coming closer and aiming at my side."Aldo!" I glared at him, but he only smiled back at me."I'm hungry. If you had fed me last night, we wouldn't be in the kitchen today, even at dawn.""You could have stopped me from making love to you earlier in the night. You shouldn't have scolded me now. I am just being a professional lover, Sweetie," he boasted.He came and effortlessly lifted me to the kitchen counter and re
"It feels good when it's like this," Daddy uttered absentmindedly while eating the ice cream he was holding.I stared at the avocado ice cream in my hand. Where was it?"Hopefully, I've been a father since then," he added.He bowed, and I could feel the weight of his feelings. I looked away and sighed."It's still possible, just not now," I murmured softly."I will wait, Mayu. I will wait until you accept me as your father. I have many shortcomings, but I am ready to make up for them," he said, his voice almost shaking.I swallowed. I know they have the same motives as Mommy. They both like me now because Aldo is my husband, but even so, I want to think that Daddy is real.If parenting is just a basis, Daddy is always there and updated in my life, even though I don't get to be with him on important occasions in my life. I appreciated the times he rented clothes for me so I could go to the parties they would attend. I will not deny that he cared more about my studies then. He always mo
"What do you mean, Mommy? How is it just Addison?"I'm confused, and even though I have a conclusion in my mind, I want to hear it right from her mouth.She closed her eyes tightly. When she opened her eyes, they were full of regret."Sad to say, I took care of someone else's child while I neglected my own child," she said with regret.My lips parted, and I felt pain in my chest. I blinked several times to keep my tears from falling, but I was not victorious. They fell silent.Instead of being happy that I am her only child, I am more hurt that she was able to choose someone else's child over me.She immediately reached for my hand after seeing my tears fall."I'm really, really sorry, Mayu. Sorry if Mommy neglected you. I didn't want all of this to happen to you, even if I was the one who caused your other ailments in life. I just don't want to blame you for my betrayal of Frank," she continued to explain as her tears slowly fell."If you weren't ready for the consequences, and if yo
I don't know if Aldo is really determined for us to go abroad, but I'm more determined to talk to Mommy again. I waited a long time for her reply. I thought it would be rejected, but, um, yes.Aldo warned me several times not to leave the house in case my desire to explain to my mother prevailed. My only problem is where to leave Arkan. I don't want to bring him with me; there might be danger around later."Mommy, why are you leaving me with Aunt Alice?" Arkan asked with a doubtful tone.I raised my eyebrows and held his hand."I'm just going to buy something, Baby. I'll be right back.""Without me, Mom? Does Daddy know about this?" His tone is investigative.I coughed before laughing hesitantly."Of course, Baby. Your Daddy is always updated," I lied."Really, Mommy? Then why are you leaving me here? Or maybe we should call Daddy and ask him to get me here."My eyes rolled slightly. After that, I winced and slightly knelt in front of him."Your Daddy told me to leave you here for now
"Leave the country? But I don't want to leave, Aldo." That's what I immediately opened when we entered the house.I really don't want to leave. This is not the case now. I want to talk to Mommy in depth. Suddenly, I want to discover and find out what she said about Daddy being her first love."I doubt if we can really have a peaceful life here after everything. I don't want to risk your pregnancy—what's that?"He stopped and looked at the corner of my lips. My eyes widened slightly, and I immediately covered them. I was about to step back, but he immediately grabbed my elbow. When I turned to him, his gaze turned cold, and he gently removed my hand from covering my lips."Did she do that to you?" His cold voice sent nervousness through my body.I was out of breath and afraid to speak. I'm afraid to say that Mommy slapped me fearlessly earlier. I don't want him to get angry at Mommy, not right now."Tell me or I'll find it myself," he threatened.I closed my eyes and looked away, "N-no
I wiped the side of my lips with restraint. I don't want to be angry on this day, but if this is how I am greeted, my patience is over."What a worthless son of yours! I wish you hadn't lived—""I hope you didn't flirt with others so that I didn't develop!" I answered with annoyance, which stopped her."I wish I didn't live anymore if my parents just left me like a cat," I uttered coldly.Even though it hurt to say that, I tried to steady my gaze. I don't see the point of her venting her anger when I have a lot to blame her for.She narrowed her eyes at me, "How dare you?" she uttered in disbelief."Is that what money did to you? You now talk back to your parents? Why? Did Rosario raise you like that too?"I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth."You're wrong. This is how you raised me," I said with emphasis, "One more thing, don't involve Mother Rosario here. For all I know, she's the best mother in the world. No one can compare to her. Not even you, Mrs. Smith."Apart from the par
I don't think this day will end; the skin will mix with the body. Even though I tried to calm myself down, I shuddered every time I caught a glimpse of Addison.I smiled and untied Aldo's arm from wrapping around my waist."Let's go, Arkan. Let's go swimming. Your Daddy is going to fix something," I said coldly before standing up and trying to reach for Arkan's hand, who stood up and held my hand.But before I could even step away from the table, Aldo grabbed my wrist. I was stunned and let go of Arkan's hand."Alaric, get my son, please," he ordered his brother coldly.Alaric followed quietly, picking up Arkan. My son didn't even complain.I turned to Aldo with wide eyes."I'm leaving too, Aldo." I tried to pull my hand away from him, but his grip tightened slightly."Stay here. We'll leave here together," he promised, so I calmed down a little.Just then, Addison slammed the table down, causing my attention to go to her. I simply glanced at Aldo, but he was only looking at me."Aldo
