“It’s none of your business. Just drink your wine.” Darren said as he felt irritated. He leaned against the sofa, pinching the space between his eyes, and thought, Since when did Alex become so nosy? He is so annoying.“Darren, why can’t you just admit it? You love Areiza. But Hallie, you are just grateful to her for saving your ass in the past. Besides, she is sick now. You are doing all this for her just because of your gratitude and sympathy towards her.” Alex said.Looking at the red wine in his glass, Darren was stunned. When Darren thought of the way he had been behaving lately, he was speechless.After a long moment, he argued, “No.”“Then why haven’t you had sex with Hallie yet?” Spencer asked.“She is not in good health, and I am not a monster!”“Is that so?” Alex sneered and continued, “If you are holding back your most primal urge in front of the woman you love, then man, you are a saint! Anyway, I don’t want to waste time with you. If that’s how you feel, then let go of Ar
“I can’t promise you right now.”Inviting her fiance’s ex-wife to her bridesmaid? Only Hallie could come up with something like that. Areiza sneered in her heart.However, Areiza knows that Hallie is doing all this because she wants to show off that she was victorious right on the most important day of her life. After all, she had always considered Areiza as an obstacle in her relationship with Darren.Many of Areiza’s colleagues were stepping out of the hospital for their lunch break when they saw her talking with Hallie and began to whisper among themselves.“Areiza seems to know Miss Davis pretty well. Is she familiar with members of such wealthy families?”“The Kensley, Venzor, and Davis families had been well-known families in the city for more than a decade now. I heard that they were on good terms, but I don’t what happened later. The Kensley family declined, and the Venzor family adopted a child from the Kensley family.”“Areiza’s surname is Kensely. Are you saying that she mi
“Thank you for your appreciation,” Areiza looked at Hallie and said with an insincere smile.I must have to admit that she was so into acting. Did she plan on treating her husband’s ex-wife as a sister just so she could show other people how good-natured she was? Perhaps she wanted to earn the reputation of being kind? Areiza thought.“Areiza, I am a public figure. You won’t suffer a loss if you take me as your sister. Besides, if anyone wants to give you a hard time in the future, they will have to think twice. They have to make sure first if they can offend the people behind your back,” Hallie said with a smug look on her face.“Are you saying that I can take advantage of you?” Areiza forced a smile at her. To be honest, what she had just suggested was the opposite of what Areiza wanted to do. , After the divorce, Areiza had planned to stay away from them and disappear from their lives.“I wouldn’t put it that way. It’s just that Darren and I have watched you grow up into a fine you
“I came here to take care of Areiza. You can go now.” Darren said. It was apparent in his tone that Darren didn’t want to talk with him.However, Alex was reluctant to leave. He looked at Areiza and then asked, “Are you sure you won’t be called away again?”Darren started daggers at him. “If I see you made her drink again, I won’t spare you.” he warned.“Did you really have to bring up this time? Fine, I will leave if that’s what you want.” Alex still wanted to protest but seeing that Darren was in a bad mood, he decided against his will.“You double-faced man. Everyone can see how much you care about her. Why can’t you just admit it frankly?” Alex mumbled as he left.With his arm around Areiza’s waist, Darren pressed the password to her apartment.Maybe because she was drunk, Areiza was restless. She kept stroking his chest amorously, which subsequently aroused him.Even though he didn’t want it, it stimulated him.Argh! Did she not know how difficult it was to restrain myself from t
Areiza massaged her head as she frowned in pain. She did not want to think about anything until her hangover was cured and her headache was gone.However, suddenly she heard a familiar voice from beside her. “Now, you know the pain of a hangover. Why did you drink so much last night?”It was Darren!Why was he here? Areiza thought.She was shocked to find him standing by the bed, dressed in a white shirt and black pants.“How long are you planning to stay in bed? I have made porridge.” Seeing that she was getting up, Darren looked at her with a frown.“Why are you here?” Areiza asked. She couldn’t remember anything until now, but she felt very certain that something must have happened between them. Otherwise, how could those suspicious looking buries appear on her body?“I didn’t want to stay the night, but you kept holding me,” Darren explained.“That shouldn’t be…”“Shouldn’t be what? You think that I did something to you? What do you think about all day long?” Darren interrupted he
“I am going to accompany Hallie for the check up.” Darren said in a cold voice and walked out of the room.He ran out of the room as if he was afraid that his sweetheart was going to die if he wasted another moment.Seeing his receding figure, Areiza sighed with a heavy heart. She thought in her heart, I am sure Hallie will feel much better if Darren showed her their divorce papers.Then Areiza heard the voice of the door being slammed shut.Areiza walked to the sofa and looked at the clean table. Then the thought of Darren preparing breakfast for her in the kitchen came into her mind and she fell into a daze.The Hallie wedding dress was ready. It was very likely that what had happened a while ago would probably never happen again. Areiza thought, and her lips curled up in a mocking smile.Areiza was in a trance that entire day. In the evening she received a call from Ria and went to the bar to meet her.“Areiza, what’s the relationship between the three of you? Why did I sense a wei
Not far away, a man was looking at them with his cold eyes. The man was none other than Darren.Darren’s friends asked him to join them for a drink. However, as soon as he arrived at the bar, he saw Areiza talking to someone, who was in a Bentley.Darren parked the car not too far away from them and asked someone to find out who owned the Bentley. Soon, he received a text message.Then owner’s background and his disgusting love history were right before his eyes.After reading the message, Darren clenched his phone, feeling depressed. Areiza was like an irresistible sweet man treat for men. First that doctor, then Mr. Wright and now, there was another man.Darren could already guess that how many men would be looking for her in the future.Then, he saw Bentley drive away.“Do they think you are single?” Darren asked as he walked toward the Areiza.“Who knows what they think?”Arieza replied perfunctorily, as she headed toward the bar.Areiza was wearing a white dress. As she walked, t
“Yes! I am crazy!” Darren took a step forward and grabbed her hand.“What are you doing Darren?” Areiza glared at him, unable to break free.Without answering her, Darren pulled Areiza toward his car with great strength. It was obvious that he was angry.But Areiza was also furious. She grabbed the car door with her hand and didn’t get in.“Give me the reason to get in the car.” Areiza demanded.“I left my jacket at your place. I will drive you home and take my jacket from there. Is that good enough?” Darren said as he was trying his best to restrain his emotions.“It’s just a jacket. You don’t need to wear that particular one.”“It’s my particular jacket.”As far as Areiza knows, Darren rarely ever wore the same clothes again, so she didn’t believe in his reason.Areiza stood next to the car door with no intention of getting in.“I won’t come in. You can get it and give it me.” Darren looked at her helplessly and finally decided to compromise.Areiza looked at the cars passing by not
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
