Chapter Nine.Ria's POV."Hey! What are you doing here?" I could see the mocking expression on his face. My hands were literally starting to shake. I wanted to hold on to something badly, but I didn't want him to know how nervous I was. I remembered how he held my neck so right that night while I pleaded with him. Tears were starting to gather at the corner of my eyes. I knew that I saw him at the court, and this was the exact way I felt after I had seen him.My eyes roamed around the hall, hoping I was going to see Luca.'What are you expecting him to do in that kind of situation?' My inner thoughts questioned. "I came here alongside Luca." I stated, my hand found its way to the wine, which was on the table, while I gulped it all down. That was so fucking strong."Are you scared? You just gulped an entire cup of alcohol." Miguel further stated. All I wanted in this moment was to just vanish into thin air. I could barely breathe with him around me."Scared? Why should I be scared?"
Chapter 10Ria's POV.The car door slid open as I then stepped down from the car angrily. I removed the shoe that he had bought for me as I walked barefoot. It wasn't my fault for walking barefoot, though my foot hurts like hell.It was really dark, and there was barely any sight of human.'Just let down your pride and step into the car right now.' My subconscious mentioned. He slowly drove the car right at my side."I don't want you driving beside me! Just leave me alone and go home. I can figure out my house from here." I stopped walking while I used my shoe to point in the direction that he was supposed to go to.My mouth ended up doing the opposite of what my brain was saying. He then pulled up right at my side. He stepped down from the car and walked right to my front.The expression on his face was way better than the time I saw him entering the car the other time. We were both standing at the side of the road; the cool breeze was hitting my arm, and I must say that I was start
Chapter 11Luca's POV.Seeing Miguel touching her that way last night made me lose my temper. My emotions were something I could control. Except from moving on from someone like Ria.My love for her was something that I couldn't get to control. I allowed my temper to take over me last night, not caring about my reputation too, which was really dangerous.What happened last night might make me lose a lot of future potential partners. I really didn't mind, though; a lot of people want me as their partner too.That was the first time that I was saying, Bro, lay my hands on my brother, and I bet he must have still been in shock by now. "You are so pretty, but the words you said last night were pretty painful." I muttered, staring at Ria, who was lying on the bed at my front.The fact she had to remind me about how lonely I was. She didn't have to do that! It was just surprising that that was what she had been thinking all along, and she just had the mjs to tell me about it yesterday.I s
Chapter 12Priscilla's POV 18+ "Where are you rushing to, love?" I felt his hot breath on my skin as he stood behind me. Did he not ever get tired of all of these? This was the second round we will be going for this morning.We didn't get to sleep together after the party last night, but I was glad he was able to do that now.He carried me on his shoulder as he made his way back to the bed. He spanked my ass. I let out a soft chuckle seeing how his expression were filled with lust." Ouch!!!" This sound came out of my mouth every time he hit my ass. When he got to the bed, he threw me on it. I landed on the bed on my back. I was enjoying it. Hudson didn't treat me like this, I swear. The bed was already wet due to the water that was still on our body.Miguel put his hand on his chin as he admired my well-shaped ass that was red now from all his spanking."Now that's beautiful," he said to himself."What are you waiting for?" I dared him with my sentence." Ohhh! You are going to be
Chapter 13*THE NEXT DAY*Ria's POV This was going to be the second time that I would be entering the company, and my first day of work. I clenched my bag tightly to my arm while I took the elevator to the last floor.Not a lot of people were currently present since I came a little bit earlier than expected.I wanted to make sure that today was without flaws and everything was going to go well just as I had imagined. I didn't want to make any mistakes, and I wanted to prove to him that I could do this work well.I entered his office, and he was yet to be back, which was a great thing. Coming to work early before he did was such a good idea. I didn't know if I was going to have an office of my own or if I was just going to be staying in the same room as him.I walked to the end of the office while I watched the great view of the city. I couldn't get a clear look at it the first time that I came here. I wondered how this place must have looked at night.I then sat in his chair and let
Chapter 14Ria's POV.I bet it has been more than six hours since I have been here, and the meeting must have been over already. There was no source of ventilation, and the room was dark, but not really dark.I slept here, and I woke up already, but no one has opened the storage room. The meeting must have been over, and no one even bothered to search for me. How was he going to get to lay his hands on the files that he told me he was going to use in the meeting? I wasn't with my phone, which I could use to make a call. I was really getting tired already, and I wanted to come out of this place badly."Please, please. Someone should help me! I am stuck in here." My hand banged the door again, and I have been banging it for the past few hours. My hands were getting really red already, and it was painful.It has bruises on them due to the fact that I had been banging the door for the past few hours. "Is anyone there? Someone should help me, please." I kept on hitting the door, but th
Chapter 15.Ria's POV.My eyes opened slowly, the sun rays hitting my eyes due to the sound of the alarm. I stretched my body, and suddenly I got a cramp in my leg."Ah shit!" I managed to spring up to my feet due to the pain. It was as painful as fuck.Memories from last night flashed in my head; I remembered falling at the edge of the elevator. How the hell did I get to the house? I remembered waking up in a car, but I couldn't remember the person who was driving. That person must have been the one who brought me home. Fuck! How the hell did I tell Luca I wanted to resign? I wasn't in my right mind when I said those words. I remembered how I almost slept with him because of how much I needed that job and his help.I brought out my phone, and I was really late today. Should I just skip work today? I tried typing with my phone, and I felt a sudden pain in my knuckles.I stormed out of my room, remembering I was living with the person who did this to me yesterday. My hand formed a fi
Chapter 16Ria's POV."Thank you very much." I appreciated him immediately after he dropped me at the front of the house. He didn't say anything as he just drove off. I was starting to get confused with his behavior. At some point, he acted like he never wanted me to be around him, and at another point, he acted like he wanted me to be by his side.I was still wondering if he hated me just like the way he did in the past. The hate just happened to be natural, and I couldn't think of an exact reason for it.I just found it annoying, and I told him how annoying he was. Ever since then, we were always exchanging words. We saw each other frequently since I was great friends with his brother.I walked into the house, and I was greeted by Mom and my sister, who were in the sitting room. They were both sitting on the couch with their eyes fixated on me.'That was scary.' I said to myself on seeing how creepy the both of them looked. "Where do you think you are going?" Maddie interrupted me
Chapter 76Ria's POV.My hands shook in fear while I dropped my phone on the desk in fear. I thought all of this was over. I thought we had already moved past this."What the actual fuck? What else do you want from me?" I shouted over the phone, moving my hair backwards.I already knew who my mother was."What? Are you not going to give me a reply? Do you think I was after you because of your mother? You must have guessed wrong. I really want you." He further added."What do you say? Do you want me to come and visit this night? What do you say about that?" The text kept on popping in, while I kept on reading everything."About your child too, I really hated it when I realized that you were pregnant. How could you get pregnant for him? You made the biggest mistake by being pregnant by him, and I will also make sure that the child doesn't get to live long." He mentioned, I covered my mouth immediately on reading the last text.Who the hell was this person? I also think I have to tell Lu
Chapter 75Ria's POV.Jade walked into my apartment while her eyes roamed across the room. I have been waiting for her to call me, and then to threaten me just like the way Luca said she was going to do."Luca did great in picking this apartment for you." She stared across the room"I have someone to be in the next few minutes. You came here to discuss some things with me, let's start discussing and then get this over with." I mentioned to her looking the wall clock.She sat on the couch, "I came here to discuss about Luca and I." She stated."I bet you haven't asked him the reasons why the both of us broke up in the past? We were so in love with each other but we still had to do it." She crossed her leg, while she was staring at me who was still her to sit. "Oh, I guess he must have moved on the past now." I mentioned, a forced smile crept on my face while I then sat close to her."That's why I have come here to show you this." She mentioned, as she brought out her phone from her ba
Chapter 74Jade's POV."Zoa, please can you come to this place. I need you right now." I dropped my phone on the desk while I waited for her to come over.She then appeared in a while. This position was really to get tiring, and now I'm also wondering the reason why I also got up pick the job at first.I have always wanted freedom and this job was limiting from a lot of things.Al I wanted to do was to make sure j get to show Ria that I could get anything I really want including her position, but I have been working all day and night like a dog."You sent for me ma'am." Zoa stood at my front."I never imagined I was going to allow you work for me after what you said the other day. That is also one of the reasons why I am giving you all of these works." I dropped another sets of files on the desk, as I then saw the frustrated look on her face.She really look frustrated, and that was exactly what I wanted, that looks on her face till she decided she was going to quit all by herself."W
Chapter 73Ria's POV."Uhm." I watched him struggle to speak. I was starting to suspect Liam at this point. Everything just seemed weird with him.Everything seemed too real to be a coincidence too. More like I was being stalked and he knew everything about me. "I was actually going to see someone that day, and then I saw you on the way. I was so surprised, honestly." He finally got to talk. "I wondered what you were doing in that area, because it seemed kind of far from your house here." He shrugged his arm."Oh! That explains why I saw you there that evening. I guess it was just a coincidence." I mentioned, and he nodded."It was just a mere coincidence. There is nothing else behind it." He bit his lips while he still stared at me. "I even got a lot of calls from my friend that evening after realizing that he didn't see me later." He answered, rubbing his palm against each other. "Uhm, you two are on a good terms now?" He questioned, pointing his thumb behind him, which was toward
Chapter 72Ria's POV"No! No way. I'm not pregnant." I blurted out before he could even utter another word."Why would you think I am pregnant?" I scoffed, laughing so hard, trying to make things no stronger too suspicious."What if you are, though? Don't you want to get pregnant? Why are you saying it like it is something bad?" He questioned."It's not bad—" I itched my hair. "What if I am not just ready for it? I still have a lot of things in my life to figure out. I'm yet to even raise myself well; how can I raise a child?" I continued, squinting my eyes."That's why I have you. We can figure things out together." He held my palms, and that gave me the chills. "If you are pregnant right now, I will make sure to do the best I can to raise the child," he added, and then I busted out into laughter."We both have a lot of enemies, right? Who wants to make sure we don't get to progress? Do you think it is going to be that easy for the both of us to defeat them?" I questioned. "The child
Chapter 71Ria's POV.The doctor handed over the papers to me, and with the smile on his face I knew what the results meant already.Did he think being I was going to be happy after testing me positive. "You are two months pregnant ma'am, and we will start making schedule for your meeting so—" I didn't allow him to complete his sentence before interrupting him."What if I want to abort the baby? Is it going to be too late now?" I panicked, while the smile on his face faded slowly."I'm really sorry, uhm—" He paused, bringing his hands together. "Yes, this is the best time for you to do that." He added."I am going to give it some thoughts, and let you know what my final decisions are going to be." I left the room, with the documents in my hands.I needed to come up with a good solution at this point. I entered in to my car while I drove off to my apartment straight off.It was in the evening since that was the time I made an appointment with the doctor. I reached the parking lot whi
Chapter 70Ria's POV.I guess I should have just told him to stay behind earlier. I was so feeling so damn guilty right now for letting him go. I started feeling nauseous and I could easily tell it was due to the fact that i stood in the rain yesterday. That also made me have a fever last night.I stumbled through the apartment, my hand covering my mouth as I desperately tried to hold back the wave of nausea. But it was too late. I made a beeline for the bathroom, bursting through the door just in time. I dropped to my knees in front of the toilet, my body heaving as I emptied everything that was in my tummy."What the actual fuck!" I cussed, while another wave hit me again.My hand was holding the toilet so tight, not wanting to let go off it. My head started spinning and I could also feel my body shaking. Why was this really happening to me? I managed to stand up, while I walked towards the sink slowly immediately after flushing.I splashed the water onto my face, and the stared
Chapter 69Luca's POV.I couldn't stop thinking about her at this point. It has just been two weeks, and things were starting to look like this. It felt like I was about to go crazy.I was at the front of her door already. I couldn't count how many times I have been here, but I was unable to press the doorbell.I took up all the courage I had left in me and then rang the bell while I waited for a reply. It was taking too long."Did she go out this morning?" I questioned myself, but there was no place she was supposed to go to. Except if she already has a job and I didn't know about it.My fingers clenched together after seeing the doorknob twisted, revealing her standing at my front, but someone else was also standing with her. It was her neighbor, whom I saw the other day.Different questions crossed my mind at that moment, but I shouldn't just get to assume things. All I needed was an explanation from her, but I don't think I was in the right position for that."What is he doing her
Chapter 68.Ria's POV"Was this some kind of prank?" I scoffed seeing the beautiful lady who was standing at his side. She was opposite me too, and I saw the tears flow down her eyes.I know why she looked so familiar. That was the picture the anonymous person had sent to me. I know why things were starting to look this way."No way." I held back my tears while I grabbed my bag, which was on the couch, wanting to leave. "This isn't a joke. I figured out you might be the daughter of her ex-husband after I met you the other day. I wanted the both of you to reunite since she wouldn't stop talking about you." Mr. Jack continued talking, leaving me in awe.The woman walked closer to me, her two palms stretched forward as she kept on shaking. She wanted to touch my cheeks, but I stood up before she could get to do that."Please, listen to me. I am so sorry that I left you and I really want things to get better between the both of us. I really regret my actions and I want us to come back to
