“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
Just when Areiza thought she was going to fall down the stairs, Darren grabbed her hand and stopped her by holding her back. However, Hallie was not that lucky. She fell down the stairs and cried out in pain.Horrified, Stella watched her grimace as Darren continued to hold her tightly in his arms. Kenny immediately ran downstairs and took Hallie to the hospital.Areiza was so frightened that Darren took her to the hospital as well.“We tried are best. We are sorry,” the doctor said to Hallie in a regretful tone as he stood in front of the bed.“It’s all your fault. You are the one that murdered my baby. You are such a cruel woman!” Hallie shouted at Areiza hysterically.“I didn’t push you at all. You fell down on your own,” Areiza said flatly, frowning at her.“You pushed me down. How can you lie with a straight face? Aren’t you afraid of being punished in life?” Hallie screamed in an emotional tone while tears flowed down her cheeks.Noticing how she was confusing black with white,
Seeing how serious he was, Areiza buried her head in his chest and gradually smelled his scent.Darren hugged her back in silence.All of a sudden, a knock on the door was heard. One of her colleagues, who just checked her walked into the room.“You are fine now. Just get some rest once you are home,” he advised.“She had been really upset lately, and she has been facing a loss of appetite. Are you sure that she is okay?” Darren asked the doctor worriedly.However, before the doctor could answer, Areiza interrupted him and said, “I will tell him myself.”The doctor nodded and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Mr. Venzor to be as clueless as everyone else in this matter.” With that, the doctor walked out of the room.Darren looked at Areiza with a suspicious glance.“Let’s go. Let’s go home.” She stood up and dragged him out, pulling in out of his daze.Darren took Areiza back to his apartment. After getting out of the car, he carried her in his arms as he walked upstairs, steadily a
A piece of news on the trending search caught her eye. A woman who had a miscarriage ranted on the internet. The title said, “My little angel was killed, but the murdered can still live her life peacefully.”This sparked controversy among netizens. They tried to guess who the person behind the post was.Some speculated that it was Hallie.At that moment, Areiza touched her belly unconsciously. If Darren had not caught her in time, her little angel might have died as well.Areiza felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach at the thought of this.While she was in deep thought, Darren’s phone rang, disrupting her thoughts. She decided to take his phone to the kitchen. However, Darren did not even spare a glance and just continued cooking.“It’s Hallie,” Areiza said somberly.“Answer it for me,” Darren said casually.Areiza immediately did as she told. As soon as the call connected, Hallie’s anxious voice rang again in her ears. “Darren, believe me, it wasn’t me. I hope you don’t mi
“Honey, what are you doing?” Areiza asked when she noticed what Darren was doing.In silence, Darren got on top of her and planted a kiss on her lips. Then, he gently kissed her forehead, her brows, and her nose. Areiza could feel the warmth of his breath.“Call me that way again,” he demanded while kissing her.“Honey.” Areiza couldn’t resist his temptation, so she obliged his request.Darren smiled with satisfaction. While kissing her, he said, “My dearest wife.”His kiss left her flustered. She buried her head in his chest and let him carry her upstairs.“I want to do it right now. Is it okay?” Darren placed her on the bed and began to kiss her again.“No, you can’t.” Areiza immediately came to her senses and said,“Why? Don’t you think I am great in bed?” Darren asked as his face turned stern.“Oh, don’t get me wrong! You are amazing. It’s just that… I have only just gotten out of the hospital, remember?” Areiza chuckled helplessly.After looking at her for a while, Darren stood u
Meanwhile, Darren approached Areiza with a face devoid of emotions. And Areiza instinctively grabbed her clothes, feeling a little scared.“Um… weren’t you supposed to be at the hospital?” Areiza lowered her head, averting her gaze from him. And she changed the topic to avoid talking about what she just said.Darren didn’t answer her question. Instead, he forced her to look into his eyes and asked, “What did you mean by I don’t have such strong feelings for Darren as I did when I was a young girl?”Areiza took a deep breath, and decided to answer, “It was true that I used to be madly in love with you.”“That implies you don’t love me as much as you did before,” Darren sneered.“Yes, that’s right.” she answered honestly.Areiza thought he would be angry with her, but to her surprise, he held her hand and said, “I deserve that. I took you for granted back then. But I sincerely believe that you will change your opinion about me someday.”Once more, the doorbell rang, interrupting their c
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
