After the exercise, Darren sat up and leaned against the headboard of the bed as he watched Areiza lying on the bed motionlessly. She looked tired and sleepy. It was amusing to see her this way, as he reached out and stroked her hair fondly.“Darren let’s take a shower first before going back to Venzor's mansion to see Aaron,” She said weekly, her exhaustion apparent.Darren’s hand, which was caressing her hair, froze for a moment. He grew slightly jealous. Even at this moment, all she thought about was her son. Did he not work hard enough just now?’“It’s already so late. Aaron has probably fallen asleep. Let’s go there tomorrow,” Darren said and bent over and kissed her forehead gently.“But it’s not even 9:00 yet! I’m missing him and you promised me we would go there just now, “she grumbled, flashing her disgruntled stare. Her face was still red.“I regret saying that.”Her incessant complaints were souring his mood, so he kissed her lips to put a stop to her resistance. Their affe
Darren pushed the door to the private room open and walked inside. He asked, “Areiza why are you here?”Unexpectedly, Areiza cast a cold glare at him and snapped, “Why did you ask? Did I interrupt you and Hallie while you two were talking about the good old days?”‘Why was she acting like this?’ Darren frowned.“If you don’t have anything else to say, please leave, I am very busy.”Darren didn’t question her any further and left the private room as told.However, Arieza didn’t contact him for the entire day. Except for some messages about work, his phone remained deathly quiet, as if it were broken.Darren could not hold himself back anymore and was about to call Areiza when a news notification popped on his phone and caught his attention.It was gossip news the tabloid.The author of the article described how he stood by and did nothing when his first love, Miss Hallie Davis had been beaten, weaving the whole narrative in a dramatic and exaggerated tone,Despite her being so near to
Alex walked swiftly into Rose’s private room, eager. Inside, he proudly raised the black card in front of Rose, as if he had found something of incredible importance and said, “How could you forget such an important thing?”Rose looked at the black card, her face turning red steadily. She immediately reached out to grab the card from him, but Alex deliberately raised it high up away from her reach. Rose jumped several times, swiping her hands for the card, but the difference in their height rendered her efforts in vain.“What’s going on? Do you want to destroy the evidence?” Alex lowered his head and shot a challenging stare at Rose. His face is incomparably smug.At this moment, Rose jumped up once more and grabbed his hand. The distance between them was immediately shortened, and the tip of his nose almost touched hers. Rose’s long, curly eyelashes fluttered gently in front of him. like a butterfly flapping its wings. The site made his heart itch with longing.“Do you want it that m
Darren pressed her under him and took off his top in a hurry. He looked at Areiza, his eyes bright and clear. Areiza looked away in a panic, but she couldn’t avoid his perfect jawline and well-built figure.‘Oh my god!’ Her chest was burning, and her entire body felt hot.“I have to show you how great I am in bed today.” Darren’s hoarse voice rang in her ears, making her tremble all over.“Darren I’m sorry. Please, put on your clothes…” Areiza tried her best to shrink away, regretting her words. ‘In the first place, I shouldn’t have provoked this man whom I knew had no strong desire to win.’ she thought.“No.” Darren lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. At the same time, he helped her tightly in his arms. He quickly got the initiative to kiss hooking his tongue and sucking it into his mouth, as if he was trying to take control of her everything. His hands didn’t stop either. He slid into her nightgown and began to caress her breasts, with the other half carefully protecting he
“Are you certain?” Alex asked, looking at Kenny with confusion.He nodded in response, “It’s all true.”Upon hearing his answer, Alex creased his eyebrows and felt a splitting headache, “I don’t get it, man. Why did Justin take Rose to the Murray residence?”Darren turned his attention towards him and said, “Alex I think Rose looks like someone we know.”Alex was perplexed as to why he brought that up all of a sudden. “And who could that be?” he asked.“The hostess of the Murray family, Daisy Murray,” Darren answered.“Wait a second. You mean Evan’s stepmother, Daisy Murray?”Darren patted him on the shoulder and said, “I seem to recall that Daisy had a daughter with her ex-husband before she married the Murray family.”Alex understood what he meant and looked at him with wide eyes. “Are you saying that Rose might be Daisy’s daughter?”Rose had never told him about her true identity before, and he never once thought that she had anything to do with the Murray family. That family’s bus
After hanging up the phone Alex, and Darren put his phone away and went back to the living room. There, Areiza was playing chess with her grandmother. He sat next to Areiza, held her waist, and then whispered in her ear, “Alex and Rose are fine.”With his affirmation, Areiza leaned against his chest and heaved a sigh of relief, happy for the two. “That’s good. I was so restless just now!”“Everything is fine now.” Darren said as he kissed her on the cheek.Looking up, Darren saw his grandmother and mother looking at them with mischievous gazes. However, Darren ignored them and asked calmly, “So you are playing chess?”Areiza immediately shoved him away, disgruntled, and said, “Grandma said that she wants to play chess with me.”“Are you too batting on anything?”Jennifer rolled her eyes exasperatedly at him and said, “What’s with that look? Are you afraid that I will eat your wife alive just by playing chess?”Her words confused Darren, and he automatically touched his face. He didn’t
Alex sat on the edge of the bed and held Rose’s hand, and couldn’t help, but admire her quiet sleeping face. She looked so beautiful. But when he touched her, she frowned slightly and tightened her grip on his hand. ‘It appeared that her sleep was not as deep as it seemed to.’ he thought.“Rose!” He called her name worriedly.Her eyes fluttered open when she heard his voice. She looked at him with sleepy eyes, but then, she turned over and continued to sleep.Alex could not help but laugh. When it comes to her, he always ends up feeling so helpless. “What a careless girl you are!”Rose suddenly sat up. His words seemed to have startled her. Her gaze then fell on their intertwined hands, and a panic flashed across her eyes. Slowly, her eyes trailed from her hands to her face. For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen.It was Alex who first regained composure. He let go of her hand and said comfortingly, “Rose, you are safe now. You are in my bar.”Rose withdrew her hand and hugged hers
In the morning Areiza opened her drowsy eyes and reached out her arm to embrace Darren. But then, she realized that he was not beside her. The cold touch of the bed sheet jolted her awake. She still remembers how sweet they were last night. She wondered if it was just a dream.Still dazed, Areiza went downstairs. There Jennifer and Lillian sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast. When they heard her go downstairs, they both turned to look at her.“Good morning, Areiza! Did you sleep well that night?” Jennifer asked, smiling at her.“Sure, did Grandma,” she answered listlessly.“Come and have breakfast with us dear! I specially made your favorite apple pie today. Darren had to go out early because something urgent needed to be dealt with in the company. But before he left, he made this heart-shaped fried egg told us that nobody is allowed to touch it, because its for his beloved wife.” Lillian grinned as she said that.Areiza felt ashamed and annoyed by how foolish she had bee
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
