“Yes, Darren. Please go ahead.” Looking at him from the corner of her eyes, Ariza also said.However, for some reason, Darren felt that she didn’t mean it.“Okay, I’m leaving then,” Saying that in a gentle tone, Darren stood up and lowered her head to whisper in her ear, “I don’t have a driver to take me home, so please wait for me after you had dinner. I would like to give me a ride back. Beside, I might get drunk. You know how clients can be, right?”Areiza nodded in response.With a satisfied smile, Darren gave her a pack on the cheek before he left.However, he could hear her shouting behind him in an angry voice, “You **** !”Once Darren was out of the private room, he took out his cell phone and deleted Ria’s text. It was thanks to her message that he was able to rearrange his dinner appointment with his client and meet Areiza at this restaurant.To be honest, he was looking forward to going home with Areiza later.‘Perhaps I could use this excuse of being drunk to hold her in m
Stunned by her moves, her face turned red.“Didn’t you promise that you would wait for me last night? Why did you leave before me?” Darren said as she took her hand and gently bit it.Areiza tried to take her hand back, but Darren didn’t let her go. She struggled for a long time to free herself, but their hands only collapsed more tightly.Looking at him with a helpless look in her eyes, she asked, “Why should we go home together? You are my ex-husband, so there is no reason for me to wait for you.”When Darren heard those cruel words, he immediately felt like there was a hand squeezing his heart, draining the life out of it.“You can’t just disassociate yourself from me, Areiza.” After saying that, Darren quickly lowered his head and kissed her lips.Although it was just a peck, Areiza was not able to dodge it and her face turned red again. She stomped on his foot and ran away.“Your favorite dessert is in the fridge,” Darren shouted after her, watching her leave.Hearing his words,
Darren finished his work ahead of time so that he could go to the hospital and wait for Areiza. However, unexpectedly she met with Dylan there.It looked like Dylan had carefully picked out his attire. He wore a suit and tie, a dandy wristwatch, and cufflinks that suited him well. He also wore a pair of thin-frame glasses making him look even more debonair.They immediately caught sight of each other, but neither of them turned their gazes away.At that moment Areiza came out. Seeing Areiza, Darren averted his eyes from Dylan and looked at Areiza. He must admit that she was a stunning beauty. Her charisma was alone enough to make anyone follow her with their gaze.Darren looked at her, fascinated by her beauty.However, to his surprise, she went straight to Dylan. Dylan greeted Areiza with a smile and then he shot Darren a defiant glance.Darren was so angry that he glared at Areiza before storming away. However, before he could enter his car, he heard a hurried foot set of footsteps
“Areiza doesn’t even want my help. Is it not allowed for me to help others instead?” Darren asked.Alex was confused by his words and asked, “Did you and Areiza fight again? And even if you did it, that doesn’t mean you can be so nice to other women. If Areiza finds out about this, your relationship will become even worse. Try to put yourself in her place, will you? How would you feel if Areiza agree to another man’s request right now?” Alex asked.Hearing that Darren greeted his teeth, visibly disappeared. When he thought of how Areiza came to Dylan right after work, he lost his temper. And with every passing movement, Darren could feel her anger becoming more intense.While Alex was still chattering, Darren left the room and slammed the door behind him, unable to stifle her anger any longer.****Dylan had invited Areiza to dinner, saying that he wanted to talk about the program with her while eating. Normally they would discuss the program in the meeting room, but it was fine with
“If you say so. By the way, do you have any tissue? My hand is sticky,” Darren said, as he leaned back and looked at her leisurely. He was as calm as was usual, but she was not. Her ears were red and hot from embarrassment. She rummaged in her handbag, looking for tissue.Suddenly, Darren pointed at something in her bag and asked, “Didn’t you say you lost that?” It was her wedding ring, shining brightly in her bag.“Well, I thought I’d lost it,” Areiza said as she closed her bag, put the tissue in front of him, and told herself to be calm and not let herself to flustered by his overtures.Darren didn’t say anything more.However, the look on his face which tells that as if he had read her mind, annoyed Areiza even more. Unable to take it any longer, she stood from her seat abruptly and said, “I’m done, bye.”Just as she was about to leave, Darren held her hand.“What is it?” she asked crossly.“I have something to tell you. I have agreed to sponsor your colleague, Leia,” he looked int
One morning on a weekend, Areiza was having breakfast, when a knock sounded on the door. Curious, she went to open it and saw Darren standing outside with Aaron in his arms.Seeing her, Darren pointed at her and said to Aaron, “Look, Aaron, this is your mother. You have not seen her for a few days. Do you still remember her?”Aaron gave Areiza a sweet smile and started cooing happily.“Darren…? Why are you here?”“If I don’t bring him here, he might forget you.” Darren said.Areiza had not gone to the Venzor Mansion for several days after Darren forced a kiss on him in the ice cream shop that fateful day.Today, Darren's style of dress was quite refreshing, to say the least. Often he would be clad in elegant, finely tailored suits. But today, he only wore a white sweatshirt with a pair of loose blue jeans. His shoes were a pair of simple white sneakers. On his head sat a black baseboard cap.He looked bright, casual handsome, and incredibly charming. She had to admit, her heart began
Darren leaned in and quickly kissed Areiza on the lips.“Darren!” she cried out in anger.They were just a few inches apart from each other. Her bright eyes and her beautiful delicate face made him smile. Although her hair was wet with sweat, she still looked stunning.“Areiza, you should exercise more. How can you get so sweaty after just walking for a while?” Darren said as he took the tissue in his hand and gently wiped her forehead.“You are the one that walked too fast without even waiting for me!” She complained and was about to grab the tissue.Darren squinted his eyes at her and warned, “If you are not going to be obedient, then I will have to kiss you again.”Upon hearing that, Areiza gave up and sat down quietly.Seeing that, Darren immediately laughed, gave her a peck on the cheek, and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have worked so fast. From now on, I will wait for you.”She covered her face and glared at him like an angry kitten.Darren continued to smile at her as he sat d
After seeing Amelia and Henry leave, Areiza cast a cold glance at Darren and withdrew her hand, “I wont play tennis with you. Since you are the one that promised him, you should be fix it yourself!”However, the next second Darren grabbed her wrist with a helpless smile. Although Areiza tried to struggle her efforts were in vain.He moved his face closer to hers, gently cupping her face in his hand as he said to her in a sweet whisper, “Areiza, help me just one more time. I will owe you a favor once this project is sealed.”His words made her excited, ‘Well, it’s a priceless to be owed a favour by him. But I’m not good at sports…’While Areiza was lost in thought, Darren seemed to read her mind. He put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her gently, “We are not participating in competition. We just need to have fun and be happy. We can even just talk.”However, Areiza could not help but feel a little reluctant as she knew that if she made a fool of herself in the court, it would
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
