Areiza felt the breeze tickle her skin like feathers when the sunlight shone on her face.She woke up from her sleep and heard the clock ticking. Instinctively, Areiza picked up her phone, only to find that it was turned off. As soon as she charged her phone, a message from Darren pooped up. “Good morning,” the text read.Areiza complained to herself thinking that he knew how to get her attention.All of a sudden, she got a video call from him. Areiza thought for a moment before answering.“Good morning, baby.” Darren’s handsome face popped up on the screen, and he was smiling. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.“Good morning,” Areiza answered reluctantly.“I heard you snoring while you were sleeping.” He teased her with a smile.“No, I didn’t.” Areiza denied it. Seeing that he was still giving her a cheeky smile, Areiza warned, “Don’t make video calls if you have nothing serious to talk about!” After that, she hung up the phone, without even giving him a chance to speak.Howe
“Careful, Darren. Mom is here,” Areiza reminded him, afraid that he might say something improper.“Dad and Mom are fighting, so don’t worry about them. Mom will come back after travelling for a few days, but you have been away from your husband for so long,” he blurted out just like Areiza expected.Hearing his complaint, Areiza was a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head and kept silent.“People in our family are all loyal and faithful to their significant others,” Darren said smugly.Areiza was speechless. Could he be more narcissistic? She thought.“You brat! Don’t you care about your mother?” Lillian roared, grabbing the phone from Areiza’s hand. A second later, she hung up, “What an ungrateful son!” She complained, holding her phone tightly in her hand.Areiza felt a little awkward and did not know what to say.Then, her phone rang again. In an annoyed tone, Lillian hissed, “It must be Darren again. Looks like he is always pestering you.”She then picked up the phone, but w
“I am going to make some soup. If you don’t want to take bath, then come with me.”Areiza nodded in agreement. She leaned against the kitchen door, watching him busily preparing food.After a while, he pointed at the orange that he cut, and said, “I have cut some oranges for you. Enjoy.”The clean and crisp citrusy aroma of the orange made Areiza want to try it. It was deliciously sweet and sour, instantly soothing the discomfort in her stomach.“Looks like you are enjoying it a lot, which makes me also want to try it,” Darren said with a smile and opened his mouth, waiting for her to feed him.Areiza subconsciously took a piece of orange and fed it to him. But when she came to her senses, she felt like they were being too intimate and withdrew her hand, panicking.“It’s a little sour,” Darren complained with a frown, clueless that she was embarrassed.After watching him head back to the kitchen, Areiza took the oranges to the living room and sat down on the sofa. She chowed down on m
After leaving Darren’s house, Areiza went back to her house.As soon as she got home, she took out her phone and saw the message he sent her, feeling a little sad.Since Areiza didn’t know how to face him, she could only hide from him.She changed the lock code of her door and muted the phone. After taking a shower, Areiza lay on the bed, thinking that he might knock on her door at any moment, but there was no sound.As tiredness swept over her body, Areiza couldn’t resist falling asleep.The next day, Areiza was worried that she might stumble upon Darren if she went out, so she decided to order take-out.Not long after, the doorbell rang, and Areiza was stunned to see Darren outside of her apartment with a delivery bag in his hand. He was still wearing the same clothes that he had worn the night before.‘Had he been waiting here all night long?’ She thought to herself.With a guilty conscience, Areiza lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her pajamas nervously.From the corner of h
By the time they started to go down the mountain, it was already quite dark and feeling tired, Areiza couldn’t help but yawn as she walked down.Darren stood in front of her and bent over.Areiza was confused.“Aren’t you tired? Come, let me carry you.” His voice laced with the cool breeze echoed in her ears.Areiza looked at his board back, feeling a little hesitant, when he continued, “Do you want me to carry you on my back or would you like me to hold you in my arms? Take your pick.”After hesitating for a while, Areiza looked at the passer-by subconsciously and climbed on his back.Feeling the warmth of his back, Areiza felt an unprecedented sense of security and unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.As soon as she got home, Areiza slumped to the sofa, stretching her legs to the armrests. Her calf muscles felt sore from the hiking and she felt like she had overexerted herself.“What’s wrong? Why are you so tired?” Jennifer asked with concern when she saw that Areiza’s le
“I said I want this wedding more than anyone else,” Darren repeated himself, looking at her.Areiza smiled bitterly, as a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.“Don’t you want to me with me?” Darren stood up and slowly walked toward her.“I just want to keep a low profile,” Areiza answered, shaking her head.“We are already married. The wedding is just a ceremony.” He seemed to be so emotional that his eyes were almost red.“But it’s not something I want,” Areiza said firmly.“But I want the while world to see you wearing the wedding dress for me,” Darren said softly.Areiza hung her head and sat on the edge of the bed without saying anything to him.“I will get some water to wash your feet.” Saying that with a sigh, Darren left.“Darren you are going to get tired of me sooner or later,” Looking at his back, Areiza couldn’t help but shout.Darren paused and said in a casual tone, “Even if it means that I would get tired of you in the future, we should still try to build our love
Then, Areiza felt the mattress sink a little and his arm wrap around her. “Come and face me.” His tone was imperative like he was feeling a little awkward. She felt he was cute.Areiza lay obediently and he hugged her warmly. Darren kissed her on the forehead before he turned off the bedside lamp.Seeing that, she suddenly felt nervous.‘Sleep,” he said in a gentle voice.With a sigh of relief, Areiza slowly drifted to sleep.****The next day, Areiza woke up with a sore throat. When she opened her eyes, she felt a burning pain in her throat and she felt a little dizzy.After she freshened up, Areiza walked to the living room in low spirits.“Did you get sick?” Lillian touched her forehead with a worried look.“I seem to have caught a cold,” Areiza replied in a hoarse voice and immediately felt a sting in her throat again.Lillian looked at her lovingly before she turned to Darren and glared at him, “It’s all your fault. You insisted on climbing the mountain despite the cold weather a
Although Areiza felt her heart in her throat, she still greeted Roy with a smile. “Hello.” With an awkward smile, she looked at Darren in silence, but he tried to avoid looking at her.“You are beautiful, and you have a good figure,” Roy praised her.Hearing that, Darren glared at him.Roy smiled innocently and said, “Don’t overreact. I am just telling the truth, as a designer.”“Hurry up and start your work. Don’t waste time.” Darren frowned.“Okay. Do you have a favorite wedding dress style?” Roy asked Areiza in a serious tone and stopped laughing immediately.“No.” Areiza shook her head. Her mind was a mess.“Then let’s look at some classic wedding dress styles first, and then I can customize one for you according to your temperament and preferences.” Saying that Roy took out the tablet PC and showed her some of the designs.Areiza listened to him absent-mindedly, and after talking for a while, he left. Areiza realized that Darren was serious about the wedding when she saw him seei
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
