Areiza was shocked by Darren’s accusation.“You never take me seriously…” Lowering her head, Areiza felt his racing heartbeat. However, she couldn’t help but sob when she spoke.“When did I not take you seriously? Did I really lose your trust because of that one mistake I made?”“We can’t be together anymore…” However, before Areiza could finish her words, Darren lifted her and carried her to the bathroom.He then pressed her against the wall and turned on the shower head, causing the warm water to rain on the floor. Soon, the bathroom was covered in a thick cloud of steam.Feeling the cold wall against her back, Areiza could not help but shiver.Darren seemed to have noticed her discomfort as he quickly embraced her.“Areiza, please don’t refuse me. I really love you.” While saying those affectionate words, he leaned forward and kissed her.How could Areiza refuse him? Even thinking of him made her heart ache. Whenever it came to matters about him, Areiza always ended up feeling help
As soon as Darren let go of her, her heart sank, and she ran away.Not long after, she got a call from him.“If I didn’t let you go, you wouldn’t be able to run away from me,” Darren said in a voice that wandered between smug and said.Areiza froze but kept her gaze ahead.“You are wearing high-heeled shoes. Be careful. I don’t want you to hurt yourself, okay?” Darren sighed helplessly and reminded her with concern.Areiza knew that he was still looking at her because he had not hung up yet. She resisted the urge to look back and left without a second thought.Areiza had been busy with the training program every day since landing abroad. Darren sent her message from time to time about his family’s affairs.Time passed by quickly and the first wave of training sessions ended soon. Areiza had a few days off, but she didn’t want to go home.“Areiza, are you really not spending your time off back home?” Ria asked her again while preparing for her trip back home.“No, and please don’t tell
After sending Areiza home early, Ellen should have left. However, he didn’t want to go. Sitting in the car, he kept looking toward her room.Suddenly, Ellen sensed that something was wrong. Areiza should have entered the room, so why were the lights not turned on? He thought to himself.Thinking of that, Ellen got out of the car and walked toward her home. Looking at the locked door, Ellen hesitated for a moment, before he reached out to knock.However, even after a few minutes of waiting, Areiza didn’t open the door.Worried, Ellen sensed that something must have happened to her because she hadn’t opened the door for a long time. Looking at the door in front of him, Ellen kicked it open without much thought.Although the light in the room was very dim, Ellen was able to make out what was going on. Areiza was being kidnapped. “Calm down. What do you want? Money?” Ellen's heart jumped to his throat when he saw the man put a dagger to her throat.The man was wearing a mask and hat with
When the call ended, Areiza continued to clean the house. She had nothing else to do anyway.While she was busy working, the doorbell unexpectedly rang. Areiza had no idea who would come at this time.Areiza put down the rag in her hand and went to answer the door. First, she peeked through the peephole to see who it was. To her surprise, it was Darren.‘Did Ria tell him that someone had attacked me and I almost died on the spot? Why did he came all of sudden?’ Areiza thought.With a helpless sigh, Areiza took the scarf that was hanging on the banister and wrapped it around her neck. With that, she finally opened the door.“You don’t seem to very happy to see me, do you?” Darren asked with a long face while leaning on the doorframe.Areiza opened her mouth to speak. However, on second thought, she decided to keep her mouth shut.“Why didn’t you call or reply to my texts? Do you hate me that much?” Darren asked again. His tone became plaintive as she didn’t respond to his questions.Ju
When the video call ended, Areiza burst into laughter as she remembered how Darren was “bullied” by his family members.“You are not that happy when you see me, your husband,” Darren complained with a frown.Areiza’s smile faltered when she noticed the unrestrained joy on her face. Embarrassed, she straightened her scarf and turned her face away.Darren touched her scarf and asked, “Why are you still wearing a scarf at home?”“What are you doing?” Areiza took a step back and looked at him warily.Darren withdrew his hand shrugged his shoulders and said, “Why are you wrapped so tightly at home? I have seen you naked, you know.”“Well, my neck hurts.” Areiza shielded her scarf with her hands and took a step back vigilantly.“If you want, I can stay here overnight. I will give you a message in return.” Darren reached out to pull the scarf off her neck again.“No, I don’t want to!” Areiza protested firmly, hoping he would not insist.“I will stay overnight for free then. I don’t mind spen
They arrived at her apartment after a while. Neither of them spoke as they took the elevator. Areiza could smell Darren’s masculine perfume and her heart fluttered in her chest.She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and furtively took a step away from him. However, Darren suddenly approached her and tried to remove her scarf again.Areiza clutched her scarf and looked at him in horror. “Hey! What are you doing?”Seeing how strongly she reacted, Darren held up his hand in surrender, took a step back, and kept a distance from her.“Is there anything on your neck?” Darren asked curiously while looking at her neck.“You think too much. My neck just hurt these past few days,” Areiza reasoned out.Areiza knew that if Darren found out that someone had happened to her here, she doubted he would allow her to attend the second training session. So, she decided to hide her injury from him until it healed.“What does that have to do with wearing a scarf?” Darren asked while looking at he
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became passionate and romantic. However, Areiza’s phone rang on the bedside table, jolting them back to reality.Areiza turned to look at Darren, who was still kissing her.Just when she was about to push him away and answer the call, Darren grabbed both her hands and pressed them over her head.“The phone…”Before Areiza could finish saying another word, Darren kissed her again, more passionately than before. She felt as though he was punishing her, but his domineering and possessive behavior was fatally attractive in her eyes.Under his flirtation, Areiza's brain shut down once again. All of a sudden, she heard a clicking sound. Darren unfastened his belt.“Guess who is calling?” he asked her in a hoarse voice, which was seductive and charming.“.…”Before Areiza could say anything, she felt a chill. Darren took off her shirt in one swift move.Areiza covered her face in embarrassment and was no longer in the mood to guess who was calling.“Ellen
“Why are you so silent? What are you thinking about?” Darren couldn’t help but ask when he saw Areiza with her head down.“Darren, we are not meant for each other,” Areiza said with a sigh and looked at him.Darren held her in his arms and whispered, “After we have a sex few more times, you will realize that we are perfect for each other.”Upon hearing her flirtatious words, Areiza was stunned.Darren could not contain the joy in his heart when he saw how cute she was.Before Areiza could start to resist again, Darren pressed her under his body. Seeing her flustered expression, Darren wanted to toy with her. So, he hugged her and kissed her. Seeing her alive with pleasure, Darren touched her face and smiled, “Don’t you agree we are perfect for each other now?”“Shut up!” Areiza was shy and angry at the same time that she raised her hand to hit him. However, Darren grabbed her hand and pressed it over her head.“How I am supposed to please you if I shut my mouth now?” Darren asked with
Darren carried Charlotte to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church, where the reception was held. Inside, he placed Charlotte on the bed while he sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?”Charlotte kept her eyes closed and held her breath nervously, not daring to open her eyes.“Well, it’s good things you that you don’t want to wake up!”Before Charlotte could even begin to understand what he meant, she felt his warm breath seep into the skin on her face. Charlotte opened her eyes and met Darren’s deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from her and he was about to kiss her. Fortunately, he stopped the second she opened her eyes.Seeing his smile made Charlotte excited. “You know that I just pretending?”Darren didn’t answer the questions. “Were you aware that I was outside at the time?”Charlotte couldn’t respond to his query, so she just looked at him blankly. She had won the bet. At first, Charlotte just hoped that Stella could
Today was Peter and Anna’s wedding day.Darren came to the villa early in the morning to pick up Charlotte. However, Charlotte didn’t want to show up with him in the same place.“Charlotte, if you don’t want to see news about us breaking up tomorrow morning, then you had better come with me.”Even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking right now, the truth remained that the public still saw them as a loving couple. Though Charlotte was uncomfortable about the idea, she had no choice but to go to the party with Darren.When they entered the banquet hall, Darren wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her body against her.The fabric of Charlotte's dress was thin, so when his palm landed on her waist, Charlotte’s body temperature rose and she felt her blood coursing through her veins.All the other guests at the wedding looked at them with envy. Teasing and sighing at how sweet they were.Charlotte was so embarrassed that she turned to him and said, “Let me go, will you
Peter was right behind the door when he saw Stella badgering Darren. He watched as Darren pushed her away and ran after Charlotte.Stella fell to the ground, but she got up held onto Darren’s lap, and continued begging regardless of how humiliating her act was.“Darren, where are you going? Don’t go! Please.”“Let me go,” Darren growled. In an act of desperation, Stella shook her head, held on to him, and refused to let go. She was no longer the proud woman she once was.“Darren, I’m begging you. Just give me a chance to be with you!”Finally losing his patience, Darren pushed her away from him and stopped her before she could latch him again.“Stella, you have no idea why I’m letting you show your face to me. It’s not because you are my friend, nor it’s because I want to keep some sort of connection to you.”“Then why?” Stella asked with tears in her eyes.Peter didn’t hear what Darren said in the end. He saw how despair consumed Stella and it showed on her face. She fell on her knee
“Its fine. Rose and I share a birthday. Charlotte is a good friend with her, so I’m sure she will be willing to celebrate her birthday.” Stella said firmly.At that moment, Dora crap out by Stella so well-informed. ‘And she is so adamant on getting her hands on Darren.’The more Dora thought about it, the more she sensed something was amiss.As soon as Dora got home, she told Charlotte everything that Stella asked her to do.Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, “You should ask him directly. He can make decisions on his own.”“Aren’t you worried that rumors would circulate if he attended her birthday party?”“He probably won’t go,” Charlotte replied after some consideration.Dora nodded in agreement.The next morning, Dora asked Darren for his opinion. He just looked at her, and asked, “What did Charlotte say?”“She said that it’s up to you,” Dora answered.“Up to me?” Darren frowned in confusion.“Yes, but she also said that he probably won’t go,” Dora added.“Is that so? I will
“But I can’t stand it anymore, baby! Just let me fuck you, okay?” Darren lifted her chin with his finger and begins sucking on the tip of her tongue.Everything he did felt so good that Charlotte eventually gave in. He began caressing her tits, rubbing her nipples, and then pulling them. Soon, Darren loosened his grip on them. Charlotte’s breasts jiggled and bounced after he let them go.“Ugh,” A moan escaped Charlotte’s mouth, completely arousing Darren. He pressed his body against Charlotte. Thereafter, Charlotte felt he is huge manhood rubbing against her vagina. As Darren kept moving, Charlotte's desire grew, and she could no longer think of anything else.“Charlotte, can I?” Darren pressed his manhood against her, making her wetter by the second.“Darren, I want It. Give it to me.” Charlotte had no strength to hold back his neck. She wanted to grab something, but all she could do was to randomly wave her hands in the air.“What do you want me to give you baby? Tell me.” Darren be
After the meal, Darren touched Charlotte's forehead to check her temperature again and pulled her out of the Starlight restaurant.“Come with me to my office.”“But I wanna go home and rest,” Charlotte complained.“Well, you can sleep inside my office, too. Come on!” Darren put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her to his car.When Charlotte got into the car, she was about to fasten her seat belt, but then Darren leaned into it and fastened it for her. The tenderness in his eyes made Charlotte blush.Darren then cupped her cheeks, smiled at her, and leaned closer to her face. “Kiss me!” he said.“Huh?”Just before Charlotte could gather her composure, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Charlotte held her breath nervously too anxious to make any noise.It was already lunchtime, so many people were coming and going outside the place. Their car park was visible to many people. Passerby could easily spot them if they would look at them.Charlotte didn’t want other people wat
Because of how he reacted, the doctor felt tense and uncertain about what to do.Charlotte's face palmed and said to the doctor, “Honestly, I am feeling alright already. I’m sure I will get better after taking the antipyretic injections. Thank you, doctor!”The doctor nodded with a smile and left the room.Once he was gone, Darren sat back in his chair and directed his attention back to Charlotte. “You really can’t take your eyes off a handsome man when you see one, can you?”“What are you talking about? I was not looking at him.”He was so angry that he was practically snarling at Charlotte. “Are you not attracted to me anymore, Charlotte?”The look of jealousy and frustration on his face was amusing. He looks so childish!Once Charlotte's infusion was done, Darren held her out of the hospital while holding her wrist. By the time they reached the gate, their fingers were already interlocked. Charlotte’s heart felt a sense of comfort and warmth as she held his hand with him.After the
For a long time, Anna I stood frozen on the spot with her hand hovering above the door.Eventually, she dropped her hand with a sigh. She found a corner by the porch and curled up in it to cry her eyes out. the crowd.After a long time, Charlotte came back and was surprised to see her at the door. “Anna?”Anna looked up at her, her cheeks red with embarrassment. It was indeed abrupt for him to come here, but she had nowhere else to go. “Charlotte, can you take me in for one night?” She wiped the tears on her face and asked brazenly.Charlotte gaped at her for a few seconds before walking up to her. She held her hand and took it. “Come in!” Charlotte said.Charlotte asked the maid to cook some soup and bought it for her.Seeing the steaming hot soup in front of her, Anna felt the warmth and acceptance of the family, which was also something she earned for most. Anna picked up the bowl and felt a lump in her throat.Charlotte’s three kids sat opposite and looked at Anna curiously. Anna
Stella called Peter out of the blue and asked him to come to the bar where she was and keep her company.During her drunken speech, she broke into sobs several times.When Peter hung up the phone, he hesitated for a while but eventually decided to drive to the bar.Judging by Stella’s near-incoherent speech, she was very drunk. Not only that, she was a drunk woman in a bar alone. The number of things that could happen was too high for Peter to even contemplate.When Peter got there, he saw many empty bottles on her table. Stella was in the process of pouring more wine when Peter walked up to her and confiscated the bottle.“You have enough to drink!”With tears streaming down her face, Stella turned to look at him in disappointment. “Why are you here?”“Who else could it be if it were not for me?” Peter asked him confused.“I don’t want you. I want Darren.” And all of a sudden, Stella grabbed his shirt and looked up at him with hatred and determination.Her reaction pissed Peter off a
