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
I was shy when we were about to go home. I didn't leave the room until he called me. I think I just slept the whole day after what happened at the table. Arkan woke up before me, who was already outside. Aldo, on the other hand, slept for a while before returning to work. I think he finished what I was reading earlier. He also fixed the things he broke on the table.I sighed and picked up the clothes that Melani had given me earlier. I just asked Aldo to get it because I was shy! After my awesomeness, now I'm ashamed! I just want to swear!I slapped my cheeks softly before deciding to go out. I gently closed the door and tried to look serious. I looked straight at Aldo, who was facing the table while Arkan was on his lap writing something on paper. It seems like just a while ago I was on his lap and the table—Oh, shut up, Mayu! Replay or rewind is not possible!I scolded myself and returned my serious look. That's why it's hard to stand after seeing the strange smile on Aldo's lips.
"Behave, Mayu. Just listen and take down notes," he reminded before holding the door knob in the conference room.He glanced at me from his side, so I raised my eyebrows and folded my arms."I know my job description, Mr. Castellanos. I know how to act accordingly."He grinned and completely opened the conference room door. His steps are continuous, and he doesn't care about the eyes that follow him. I also quickened my steps but bowed my head and was shy around the people inside.But when I felt the eyes on me, I immediately looked up, only to meet the painful stares of my Mommy and Daddy's family. I was stunned after seeing that Mommy's husband, Frank, and Daddy's wife, Cora, were there. But I was even more surprised after meeting the emphatic gaze of Don Frederick Castellanos.I was bitten by a snake after seeing that conference look like a family reunion of those with a black conscience. But who cares? Even though Stella and Addison's stares were sharp, I tried to raise my head an
"I'm fine." I gently shook his hand that was holding my shoulder, but he immediately returned it."Are you sure you weren't hurt?"He stared at me so intently that I shook my head. Physically, I was not really hurt because Mrs. Cora wasn't able to slap me. She did march away because of Aldo."I wasn't hurt physically. But in my heart and emotions... it hurts," I confessed softly.I know he doesn't care about my feelings, but I can't stop saying that. It's because of the weight that Arkan got involved in all of this. Add to that, my whole personality is being judged, even though they have no right to.The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and I understood that. It's okay even if he doesn't comfort me since we don't have anything."Uhm, I'm out first. I'm just going to drink some water."I bowed a little and was about to leave the bathroom, but he stopped my wrist. His palm immediately went to my back and touched my waist."I honestly don't know how to comfort you, but I want you to
"Alice!!!" I screamed as soon as she answered the call."Calm down, Mayu! You look like a pig about to be slaughtered! Inhale and exhale first."I stupidly followed what she said. Inhale and exhale. I just can't help but be thrilled, even though the only label I'm holding is that of a bed warmer. Aldo's actions and words are confusing me, but at the same time, they are waking up the butterflies in my stomach."Aldo is—""You're pregnant?! F*ck, Mayu! You should have used a condom!"I immediately rolled my eyes at what she said, and if I had been in front of her, I probably would have pulled her hair."What pregnant? I'm taking pills that he gave himself. I just want to say that Aldo said I wouldn't be alone anymore—""It's probably because you have Arkan and you're still in his house," she interrupted, which made me narrow my eyes."Listen first, Alice! You keep on interrupting me and talking!"I quickly went to the window and saw Arkan driving his car in the garden while Yaya Karen w
I felt so betrayed. I don't want to accuse or think badly, but when I saw Yaya Karen carrying a dish, I felt furious. I think that she spread what I cooked on the floor just to pay attention to it. But why would she do that? That's the biggest question I have right now.I want to scold her, reprimand her, or even bully her. The case was that Arkan was staring, and I didn't want him to see that, so instead of confronting Yaya Karen, I walked out and marched upstairs. I locked myself in the room and took a shower again. Put on jammies and jump on the bed.My heart doesn't want to calm down in annoyance. It's terrifying, but I can't help it. I just buried my face in the pillow. I don't want to go down anymore, and I might not be able to stop my anger. I just hope Aldo feeds Arkan.My face lay on the pillow for half an hour before the door opened. I turned aside and ignored Aldo. I heard his footsteps and how he took off his watch."I cooked and fed Arkan. He doesn't want to eat Yaya Kare
