Darren held Areiza tightly in his arms, pulling her clothes to him. At that moment, Areiza’s stomach rumbled along the sound field with the ears around them. He lowered his head to look at Areiza.She immediately buried her head in his arms, just like an ostrich blushing hard, “A-ahem! I came here in a hurry, so I have not had a lunch yet,” Areiza muttered, her head hanging low, and her cheeks turned red from embarrassment.“Let’s go.” Darren said as he reached out and caressed her belly affectionately, “Come to the staff canteen downstairs with me.”“I don’t want to go to the staff canteen. Can we go somewhere else?” The happy smile on Areiza’s face froze at the mention of the staff canteen. Her good mood quickly dropped and her spirits soured.Darren’s heart instantly ached at the sudden change. It then occurred to her that in the past, Hallie had made things difficult for Areiza there several times. Thus the staff canteen was probably a place full of bad memories for Areiza.“What
Nancy made her way back to her seat upstairs, but her eyes still lingered on Areiza and Darren. “Darren and his wife are really good at pretending to be innocent,” Nancy could not help but sneer derisively.Kelly, who was beside her, shook her head and said, “Honestly, I think Darren is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s intimidating even when he smiles. He may seem calm and collected, but the second the opportunity rise, he had strike the enemy without hesitation and tear them into pieces, still with that smile.” As Kelly spoke, her voice was full of admiration and yearning.Indeed, Darren was an attractive man, charming and powerful. Unfortunately, there was only one woman who could be him, and that was Areiza. This was the conclusion that countless idiotic woman was forced to swallow after going through great pains to win over Darren, only to fail.“Say, Nancy. I heard you’ve slept with Darren?” Kelly asked tentatively, eager to gossip.“I don’t know where you heard that from, b
“Darren, do you even know what you’re talking about?” Areiza looked down to avert her gaze from his passionate eyes.Darren pinched her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, and said, “Areiza, I swear on my family’s name. If there is anyone in this world who could make me willingly hand over my life, it’s just you.”“Without hesitation?” Areiza asked.“Certainly,” Darren picked up the pen on the floor and handed it to her. Then, he placed his arm around her waist, leaning closer towards her, “You can try.”His voice was like music to her ears, and it was bewitching. Areiza furrowed her brows and raised the pen high on purpose, pretending as though she was going to jab his arteries with the pen. In response, Darren closed his eyes leisurely.When it comes to relationships, Darren is a bold risk-taker who doesn’t care that much about his own life. But even so, he had won the bet. Areiza had lost against him, but that didn’t necessarily make her feel bad.It was then that she threw th
Rose was a kind-hearted woman. Areiza and Rose had a lot in common, and they had a lovely conversation. While they were chatting and drinking wine, they heard a knock on the door.“Who is it?” Rose asked loudly.Afterward, the door was pushed open and a waitress came in.“Rose Harris is waiting for you in the first-floor lobby,” Having said that, the waitress turned around and left.Areiza raised an eyebrow, looking at Rose in confusion, “Who is Harris?” she asked.“It’s Daisy’s lackey,” Rose answered and let out an exasperated sigh. She stood up straightened her clothes flashed her a grin and said, “I will go meet him.”As Areiza watched her leave, she felt uneasy about his Harris guy. This, she followed her out.As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw two tall men. They were standing before the railing and peering downstairs.“What are you doing?” When Areiza got close to them, Darren grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.Just before she could tell him to behave hims
Soon, the car started and the scenery outside the window changed.As Areiza leaned against his chest, she complained, “Ugh, I feel so horrible, Darren. My head is spinning and throbbing. It’s crazy!”“That’s because you’re drunk, honey,” Darren frowned, feeling bad to see her in this state.Slowly, Areiza raised her head, looking at him with her pitiful eyes. She bit her lips, making them look like crumpled rose petals. She had completely let her gown down beside him. In all honesty, she looked so tempting and charming. Darren could not take his eyes off her, but he was afraid that he had indulged in the tenderness of her gaze.So, he forced himself to look away and said to Rosy, “Drive slower!”“Yes, sir.”Gently, Darren pressed Areiza’s head into his chest while stroking her hair. He said, “Good girl. This way you wont feel dizzy after getting off the car. Once we get home, get some rest, okay?”Areiza responded with a nod and nestled in his arms.After a while, the car pulled over.
The next morning, Rose got up listlessly and went to the dining room to have breakfast. However, her day turned even worse as she bumped into a more annoying person.Dressed in expensive clothes, Daisy strutted towards her, followed by Justin.“What are you doing here?” Rose asked coldly.Daisy lifted her skirt and sat down gracefully. Then, she looked at her with disdain and retorted, “I’m your mother. Why can’t I come to your place? Don’t forget that you still have to pay what you owe me?”“How? By selling my body?” Rose sneered.Displeased with what she had said, Daisy pounded on the table. “How dare you talk me like that? You uneducated hussy.”“Well, I don’t have parents nor anyone who could teach me how to behave well.”“You!” Daisy was at a loss for words. Her chest heaved violently in anger. But after a while, she calmed down. She put on a straight face, and so solemnly said, “Rose, the truth is, I didn’t want to leave you behind. But your father… he is an horrible man. You sa
As dusk approached, the lights outside the window grew dim. This sunset glows tinted and the darkening fire is brilliant red.When they arrived at the Venzor Mansion, no one was home. The servant said that Darren’s family had taken Aaron along to visit their friends. Areiza was a little disappointed since she had not seen Aaron for the whole day.“Isn’t it good for us to have some quality time alone?” Darren said, grabbing her hand. In return, Areiza glared crossly at him. Suddenly, her phone rang.She took out her phone and saw that it was a message from Rose. “What do you think of her?” Attached was a photo of a woman. She looked beautiful but seemed to be vulgar in temperament.Areiza instantly replied to Rose, “She is not as pretty as you.”“You are such a sweet talker! I bet you can always make your husband happy, right? Or did Darren get angry because you were drunk last night?”“I don’t think so.”After ending their conversation, Areiza put her phone aside and thought about Dar
Hallie dreamt a long, long dream.In her dream, she was still the distinguished and renowned daughter of the Davis family. She was an extraordinary, beauty with no peers, and a superior status to match. She was the object of desire for innumerable men of wealth, all of whom scrambled for the smallest bit of attention from her.In her dream, her parents were healthy and happy. Her family was by her side filled with joy. Hallie laughed loudly, proudly with all her strength. She was happy and contented. She was at the top of the world.But… the moment she opened her eyes, the wonderful scene from that, oh, so lovely dream vanished in an instant. Waking up, she realized that she was still lying on the hospital bed.Faced with crushing reality, the feeling of helplessness enveloped her. Hallie struggled to get up. Subconsciously, she curled up. However, Hallie had forgotten that she had been on a drip. Her reckless movement caused the needle to deviate, and soon a lump appeared on the back
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
