"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
Every breath I take is heavy, and I don't know whether to close my eyes or watch his sweaty body move non-stop on top of me."Aldo," I murmured softly.I can't stand the heat of his gaze. His green and silvery eyes were burning and seemed to want to drown me in the heat.When his phase became too fast for me, I wrapped my leg around his waist and gripped the bedsheet. I gasped as my lips formed an "O" when I felt my nearing release."More, A-ldo."But knowing him, he stopped and watched me glare at him."Freak! Move!" I ordered, but he just smirked at me.I don't know what he was planning or why he didn't continue, but I felt like a gifted child after seeing him reach for the glass of red wine on the side table."I badly need a drink, Sweetie," he murmured sensually as he poured a small amount of wine into my chest.I breathed again and held his arm. I was cradled in heat even more after his lips came down and he sensually ran his tongue between my breasts.He let his tongue work its
My chest was pounding incessantly, and my whole body was shaking with anger. I was getting angry with Karen, who was in front of me, and I wanted to slap her. Alice just stopped me, so I couldn't do it.Arkan is also angry that he is looking at Yaya badly."I saw it, Mommy! She put white powder on the drinks; that's why I threw all the glasses on the floor!" he stated.Fortunately, my son is smart, and I know he is not lying. That's why the weight of my feelings earlier is heavy because this will happen."Who ordered you? Who is your boss?" I asked loudly.She stepped back and bit her finger. She turns pale and is in tears, but I don't want to feel sorry for her."Sorry, Ma'am. It was just an order."Her lips trembled, and even her body was shaking, but I didn't care."Order? Then, who ordered you?!" I shouted again.She didn't answer, which made my head even hotter. If Arkan wasn't here, I might have hurt Yaya Karen."Girl, tell us now. I called Apollo and the police. If you intend t
Aldo's words made me the toughest. If I felt alone then, I don't know. Even though our relationship with Aldo is not clear, the assurance is enough that he is with her in the fight of her life."Hold on to me tightly, Mommy. Daddy, keep an eye on Mommy," Arkan ordered, who was in the middle of us while walking through the company's lobby.I slightly frowned and turned to Aldo, who was looking at me. I was so embarrassed that I looked away."You don't have to remind me, Buddy," he replied to Arkan."I'm just making sure that we won't lose her, Daddy. Because I swear, you will lose me if Mom is lost," Arkan uttered seriously."I won't. I'm keeping you two. Not because you are my responsibility, but because you stole something from me," Aldo murmured seriously.I turned to him because I didn't know what Arkan and I stole from him. When I saw his grin and mischievous look, I couldn't guess what it was.I tightened my grip on Arkan's hand and intended to speak, but a female employee approa
"Calm down, Sweetie. I'm here," Aldo whispered.Because of that, I held my head high as we entered the conference room. I feel every look of the people there. And I feel like they are disgusted with me even more."Tss, the audacity to act as if she's not just a secretary," I heard Addison whisper.But I don't care. I even grinned when Aldo pulled out the chair and waited for me to sit down before going to his chair and arranging Arkan on his lap."Daddy, do I need to listen?" Arkan asked in a whisper."No, Buddy." He turned to Baron, who immediately came over and handed him the tablet he was holding, saying, "Here. You can play games here, Buddy.""Alright, Daddy! I'll just turn off the sound."When Arkan was busy, Aldo was just there to deal properly. I saw Mommy avert her gaze after looking at him; even Daddy was frowning."Before we start the meeting, may I call the attention of Mrs. Smith?" Mommy immediately turned around and acted without fear, saying, "You have something to say
"Alice! What am I going to do?"I screamed loudly again, and she cursed from the other line. I've been trying to call her for days, but she answered only now. I have no one to share my happiness with except her."Shut up, Mayu! You look like you're about to be slaughtered!"I tried to calm down and sat quietly on the bed. Aldo and Arkan were downstairs; this was the only time they were not tailing me."That's it; just chill. Okay?" Alice uttered, "What happened to you? I don't know if you are happy or if the world is ending for you," she added sarcastically.I rolled my eyes even though she couldn't see, but I also pouted and ended up lying on the bed."It's..."She kept quiet, and I think she was ready to listen to me, so I told her about what happened over the last few days. I also said that Aldo was deliberately moving away from women, even though Arkan didn't tell him, and that he became more possessive.After I told the story, she screamed at me more. If only she were here, her v
