2024-10-29 19:42:56Shivering 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

Wearing a tucked moisture-wicking shirt with skin-tight denim trousers partnering with a leather braided belt and a pair of black high boots, she was not bragging but she knows she has sexy curves in the right places, and the clothes she decided to wear just emphasized her sexy body. 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.

My Deceptive Heart Chapter 20: Suspicious Concern
It was their last night at the hacienda and they have decided to go back tomorrow morning to the Capital. She never expected that she will enjoy her stay in the hacienda with Zeke's family. Strange but she enjoys staying with them even for a short period of time- a feeling she never thought she would feel. Their genuine care and concern like they fully accept her as a new member of their family is something she was grateful about. She must have been lucky to have a family like theirs if only this is really meant for her. The sad thing is this is not really for her. She was just a replacement for her sister so she shouldn't be feeling happy this way.That night the family had dinner in the dining room. She volunteered and help prepare the food with her mother-in-law together with the mansion's cook. The old woman patiently taught her to cook her specialty and she made Chocolate pots de crème for dessert. She gladly taught the old woman how to do the dessert since it's French cuisine an

It was early morning when they left the hacienda. Her mother-in-law hugged her and gave them the advice to take care and love each other, told her son to be careful in driving and always be good to her. If only the old woman knew how he treated her, how she wished he will take that advice from his mother. If that happens, she swears she will thank the old woman for that wonderful advice. Anika hugged her so tight as well and even cried when they were about to go. Her mother-in-law promise they will visit the Capital as soon as they had time. She knew she will miss them, that's for sure."Anika immediately likes you. She doesn't usually behave like that when she just got along with you for days." Zeke told her when they were in the car.Having a feeling the brute is starting to pick up a fight, her eyes darted his way and gave him a bad look. His eyes were on the road and didn't even give her a glance knowing her attention was on him now."What? Are you going to accuse me again that I p

It's been two days since Zeke went out of the country for a business trip to Australia.

She remembered they had a small fight a day before he left and she was somehow guilty. They were having breakfast that time when he approach her about it. "I'll be leaving the country for a week for business," she remembered he told her. It's the first time he told her he will be away for days and he nicely approaches her. "O-Okay..." she replied. Well for her, it wasn't that necessary to tell her what's his purpose of being away for a week since they had an agreement to not mind each other's business. She noticed his lingering stares as if he has something to tell her so she met his eyes again. "Uh... Is there something you want me to bring or buy you when I come back?" He asked in a hesitant tone which she find unusual. "No, thank you. You don
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 23: Missed

While enjoying a good reality show on tv, her attention was caught by the silhouette of a man from the main door. To her surprise, it was nothing but her one and only husband. Knowing he will be out of the country for the whole week, she never expected he will come home this Thursday night.

My Deceptive Heart Chapter 24: Least Priority
Wearing a red sheath dress that is above the knee length and pairing it with heels and a gold clutch, she turns around one more time to check herself in the full-length mirror. She styles her hair into a low bun, curls the small section of hair on the side of her face, and lets them fall loosely. She wore light makeup and partnered it with red lipstick. She don't wanna brag but she knew she looks simple but classy in her dress. One thing she was confident about is she knows how to dress herself elegantly at every event she attends and that's another thing she learned in Paris beyond arts and painting. That's why she never fail to notice the awe and amused look of her husband the moment she saw her before they left their pad. Zeke was wearing a dark navy suit, and dress shirt with a matching pocket square with a tie and she must admit he looks dashing in his outfit. When they arrived at her parent's house, she never expected her Mom and Dad will warmly welcome and greet them as if th

"You're not close with your Dad aren't you?" she heard him ask when they were at the car. Surprised, she never thought that he was that very observant of her situation a while ago. "You were uncomfortable and silent all the time. Are you always like that whenever you were with your family?" Annoyance and bitterness crept inside her chest because he hit the right spot. Not in the mood to explain or weave a lie, she managed to be silent and disregard his questions. "Why are letting them treat you that way?" Is she not mistaken? Is she hearing a tone of concern in his voice? With this man, how come it seems like he knew what she feels and seems like he's very attentive to her demeanor? Knowing him, he should have been insulting her because he saw another flaw in her not this way he was acting like he's worried and concerned about her feelings. "They were my parents, you want me to talk back and disrespect them?" she replied sarcastically. "You know that's not what I'm trying to s

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.
