Chapter 11: Fundraising Gala
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was Friday night when she was picked up by the driver to attend the annual fundraising gala that is being held by the Saldivar Corporation. Wearing a Black backless mermaid sexy long evening dress that is made of crepe and lace, black stilettoes, and a silver small clutch bag, she felt like she was a different person. Not that she was not used to attending this kind of party or wearing this kind of dress, it's about acting formal and prim knowing she was now carrying the name of Saldivar. She was now aware that the Saldivar's are a prominent and respectable family not just because they were rich but they were also powerful and being the young Mistress of the Saldivar, married to the heir of the Saldivar group of Companies Ezekiel Saldivar, she have to be cautious and careful knowing every step and action she takes is being watched especially in attending social parties and gatherings like this.

He had this flirtatious and confident look which she don't like. Although he has good looks that some girls might not dare to ignore but she was not one of them, she just hates the way he looks at her. She can't remember meeting this man earlier. He must have arrived late at the party, she guessed." I'm Andra." She replied.Out of politeness, she manage to smile back and held his hand for a handshake.

My Deceptive Heart Chapter 13: Volunteer
When her mother-in-law called one time and asked her if she want to participate in Charity events she was helping with, she gladly agreed without hesitations. Helping doesn't only strengthens personal values, it also makes her feel good as a human being so she never slips an opportunity to help and volunteer whenever she gets a chance to. Besides, she doesn't do anything in the pad beyond painting and doing house chores so she gets bored all the time. She gladly volunteered when her mother-in-law told her she was participating in a helping program at one of the local homeless centers in the nearest town. She helped give clothes and bags of non-perishable groceries, she also helped in preparing meals and serving them. The program was also giving counsel on where to get social services and giving some ideas about first aid. You can see happiness and appreciation for the people they helped.

This is the first time she will dine out with Zeke's Mom and she was glad to dine with her after a tiring and worthwhile day of community work. To her wonderment, Zeke pulled out a chair for her right after he pull out a chair for his Mom before he settled and seated himself beside her. That gesture made her brow raise. Of course, he would act gentlemanly in front of his mother, she thought. She ordered Pork Katsu, harumaki, and vegetable tempura wit

It was noontime when they arrived at the mansion that Saturday. As planned, they will spend their weekend at Zeke's family as promised to her mother-in-law. The hacienda Saldivar was located in the southeast Province of Marinduque and it's two and a half hours drive from the city. They left the pad around 9 am the reason they arrived in the hacienda around noontime. She woke up late because she waited for an overseas call from her friend Sybil from Paris, France. Sybil was her trusted friend who manages her gallery whirl she was away. Her friend consulted some business deals and the important transactions on the gallery to her last night the reason she woke up late.

Her mother-in-law was right, she was a joyful and sociable sweet girl and she found herself being fond of her sister-in-law. She was easy to get along with and she has this cheerful and energetic laugh that is so contagious and a smile that will snatch and melt your heart.

"Are you seducing me?" Zeke said eyeing her from head to toe the moment she came out of the bathroom. "What do you mean?" She asked innocently.She was aware that the nightie she was wearing is a bit sexy and revealing. She was wearing a V-neck silk nightdress that is above the knees. It's her usual nightdress and to her stupidity, she forgot that Zeke and her needed to share a room in his parent's house since they were a married couple. The nightie she was wearing reveals her cleavage and her slender legs and that is probably what her husband is looking right now."Wearing that skimpy sexy nightie? Seriously?" He said sneering. She don't know why but she suddenly felt her cheeks flush when she saw his eyes raking her body with raw desire in his eyes."I don't know what you're talking about. This Is what I usually wear when I sleep." She replied n
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 18: Arts
Shivering in annoyance and anger, she decided to walk out of their room to breathe some air after fixing herself that morning. How foolish she can be to get affected and assume he will care for her? Zeke is anything but a cold-hearted and insensitive bastard. There is no way he will care for her because the man only thinks the worst of her. What would she expect from him anyway? She decided to walk to the garden to compose herself. There, she saw Anika on the backyard patio with her Nanny/Nurse. "Good morning, sister-in-law!" The girl cheerfully greeted with a sweet smile on her lips the moment she saw her. She walks forward to come closer and greet her a good morning when she noticed her coloring something on a sketch pad. It was a flower drawing and she was using acrylic pai

She was not showing too much skin with her outfit just like her jerk of a husband told her but he cannot deny the fact that she still looked sexy and alluring because the clothes she wore just fit her perfectly. She couldn't help to raise her brow when she find out that Zeke was already waiting for her at the landing of the grand staircase when she was about to descend the stairs. She never failed to notice the lingering stare of Zeke the moment he saw her. She even smirked when he immediately jerked his eyes away from her when she caught him checking her features.At the stable, Zeke chose a beautiful black Texas-bred Arabian stallion to ride on. They ride one horse to

She tried to arise in the bed but she only winced when she felt the pain down there. Her legs are still cramping and her breasts are a bit stinging especially her nipples.
