Areiza was not sure if it was because of seeing Lily during the day, but she had a nightmare around midnight. In her dream, Lily took away her kids and even mocked and humiliated her in front of Darren. To make matters worse, Darren asked her three kids to call Lily their mother.“No!” She screamed and woke.Darren was also awakened. He immediately got up to turn on the light. Then, he embraced her from behind and attempted to comfort her. “Were you having nightwear Areiza? There is no need to be afraid. I’m right there!”The sound of his voice was soothing to her ears, and she could feel just how worried he was for her. Sadly, it was not enough to appease her apprehension. It only made her feel more terrified.As she recalled what happened in her dreams, tears fell down her eyes. By the time she composed herself, she found herself holding onto Darren. She quickly let go of his hand.“Areiza are you alright? How do you feel?” Darren asked, looking at her with worried eyes.Areiza shot
“No matter what you say. I won’t let you leave.”“Have I upset you in any way, Darren? Why are you being so cruel to me?” Areiza asked and looked at him with red eyes.“We don’t need to be hostile to each other. You are still my wife, Areiza. I am willing to compromise as long as you are willing to make a concession.”“Your wife? You are treating me like I am your prisoner. You torment me, and you even seem to get off on it. But I won’t give in. You have better perish your foolish idea now.”“How did we end up like this?” Darren asked as he reached out and pulled his collar impatiently.“You have changed. You used to be gentle and considerate, and you took good care of me. But somehow you have turned into a real devil.” Areiza yelled, her voice trembling.“Enough!” Darren snapped. He didn’t understand how Areiza and he got into a bitter argument. Areiza stopped talking, but she still stared at him. Her hands were shaking. Darren took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then he turned
Lillian felt very lonely after the kids were taken away. She would wake up every day missing the kids, but when she couldn’t see them, her heart felt empty. And after about a week later, she just couldn’t take it anymore. She approached Jennifer and suggested that they go to see the kids.“No, I don’t want to go there. I am sure that if I did go there, Areiza will only pester me to convince Darren to divorce her.” Jennifer rejected her suggestion instantly.“In the worst case scenario, you just might have to continue to pretend to have a headache. The kids have not seen you in such a long time, and I am sure that they miss you a lot!” Lilian continued to persuade her.“Do you think Areiza doesn’t know that I’m just pretending to be ill? And I’m embarrassed to put up this act! So, I’m not going! If you want to go you can go on your own! Jennifer snorted. It was evident that she was not moved by her words at all.“Darren started a mess with his wife, and now he is expecting us to clean
“Aaron go play with your mother!” After Lilian left, Darren put Aaron down, and Aaron ran towards Areiza.“Have you had dinner?” Darren asked as he turned around and heard to the kitchen.“Darren don’t…” Areiza suddenly stopped him.Confused, Darren turned around and saw her striding towards him. She walked in a hurry. When Darren abruptly turned around to face her, she took a step back, Noticing that Aaron was following his mother closely, Darren grabbed Areiza and pulled her into his arm. He looked down at saw Areiza glaring at her.“Let go of me, Darren.”“Aaron was behind you. I was just worried that you could knock him down, because you didn’t see him.” Darren explained earnestly. The expression on Areiza’s face told him that she could not wait to break free from her grip. And it broke his heartAreiza turned around and saw Aaron standing behind her, she cooled down at once. Seeing that they were hugging each other Aaron naughtily stuck out his tongue at him. Areiza shook off his
Darren went to the Mint Bar in a bad mood and headed straight to one of the VIP rooms. He started drinking like there was no tomorrow, as soon as he sat down.After a few moments, Alex came in. “So it’s really you. I thought I mistook somebody as for you. Are not you supposed to be at dinner party? Why are you here?” he asked.“I didn’t go,” Darren muttered and gulped down another glass of whiskey.Alex came over and sat next to him. After pouring himself a drink, he began to tease him, “Did you go to see Areiza and the kids?”‘Damn! Was I that obvious?’ Darren thought.“No.”“Don’t be stubborn.”“Don’t be noisy,” Darren backfired and continued to down his sorrows in alcohol.“I heard Ria helped you keep Areiza,” Alex commented, raising his eyebrows.“Areiza could not leave, anyway, so technically, Ria had nothing to do with her staying. She just calmed her down!”Alex played with his glass looked at him slowly and said, “Darren as your friend, I have to remind you not to be complacen
As soon as they got home, Areiza sent a text to Darren, telling him that she agreed to attend the party.Soon, he replied, “Okay, then we will host one on the 10th of the next month.”Putting down her phone, Areiza took a deep breath. She knew that she would have to fight a battle soon.Time passed quickly, and it was the day of the party.As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she saw a black Roll-Royce next to the gate and Kenny was standing beside it.“Mrs. Venzor, we are out of time. The kids have already gone to the party. Please get in,” Saying that, Kenny respectfully opened the door for her.Once she sat down, Areiza noticed a huge black gift box in the back seat. She gently opened it and saw a custom-designed Valentino dress, which was simple yet elegant. The white velvet dress was covered in a layer of white organza fabric, and the skirt was made from a lacey material. She could imagine how it would enhance her slender waist. There were countless rhinestones and crystals
“Yes,” Areiza blurted out without thinking. At the same time, she was a little dissatisfied. ‘Why didn’t Lily keep him downstairs?’ she thought.Darren’s face darkened, “You don’t have to answer the questions so bluntly.”“You are not a kid. You are a grown man. You don’t need me to sugarcoat things for you.” Areiza retorted.Darren was rendered speechless. He raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose. After a while, he asked, “Why did you call Lily here?”“I want you to go together so that I can get rid of you.”As the words left of her lips a surge of bitterness almost stopped her heart.“Do you know what you are talking about?” Darren asked, through gritted teeth.Some painful memories flashed in her mind. Areiza took a deep breath and let the harsh words flow out of her mouth, “Yes, I know what I’m talking about. Its time for you to move on to new partner. I am no longer that pretty Areiza you once loved. Can’t you see how much I have changed since giving birth to twins? Ju
As Areiza looked into Darren’s affectionate eyes, remembered how she had lost herself in his eyes countless times in the past. Even until now, it seemed that she couldn’t free herself from his gaze. But in the end, he broke her heart. And now she learned her lesson. She would never be so foolish ever again.“Have you forgotten what you have told me before? You said you never loved me.” Areiza said in a calm voice. She deliberately tore open her wounds to remind herself of its pain, and to tell herself never to be addicted to his love again.“Areiza, those words were said in a spur of movement. I never meant them!” Darren held her shoulder visibly and anxious.“Is that so?” Even though Areiza had warned herself of this moment so many times, tears still weld up in her eyes and completely blurred her vision. Each time that he said something to hurt her, he would always claim that he merely said those words because he was angry. It was like she was his plaything. Whenever he wanted her, h
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
