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
After working for a whole day, Darren went back to the hotel completely exhausted. Just as he was about to take a shower, he received a call. He looked at the phone screen and froze. It was a video call from Areiza. It made him wonder if he was hallucinating. ‘Why is this heartless woman calling me?’The phone kept on ringing, and the word “honey” continuously flashed on the screen ‘Damn it. Is Areiza really calling me?’ He rushed into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked disheveled, haggard, and unpresentable. These days, he had not been paying attention to his appearance, and he had not even shaved his bread.Darren wanted to answer the video call, but he hesitated because of how he looked. ‘I can't show myself to her looking like this. I need to look damn neat and perfect in front of her.’ He thought. Thus, he washed up quickly. After taking a shower, he dried his hair, shaved her beard, and put on some nightwear. Once he was sure that everything was perfect,
Rose asked Areiza to join her for a drink at the Mint Bar, so Areiza headed there after work.Once she arrived there, she walked into the private room and sat down between Rose and Emma. “I can’t stay here for too long. I have to leave in a few minutes. I am worried about the children.”“Ever since you gave birth to your kids, you don’t have time to have dinner with your friends. When I see you like this, I don’t even want to have kids in the future,” Emma grumbled.“I don’t want baby now either.” Seeing them talking about kids Rose suddenly became sad.Noticing that they were so against the idea of kids, Areiza teased them with a smile, “You won’t think the same way once you find out that you are pregnant.” Pregnant women only cared about their babies and would do everything in their power to bring their babies into the world, safely and healthily.“Areiza, it’s really you! I almost couldn’t recognize you because of your new haircut!” Alex said and walked in with a surprised look.Ar
“Let go of me. I have to go.” Areiza gave a muffled grunt as she tried to withdraw her hand.She probably didn’t notice that she was acting like a spoiled child. It was hard for him to see her like that. How could he let her when she was being so cute?But she was struggling so hard. Darren had no choice but to relax his grip on her wrist. “How about you let me stay over tonight in return, I will not come to see the kids tomorrow, like you asked.” He tentatively asked.Areiza frowned and sensed that something was wrong. “If you stay tonight, then how would you not see the kids tomorrow? Or would you rather see them tomorrow as well, as giving up see them the next two weeks?” Areiza said. It didn’t take her long to figure out his plan.When Darren saw that she was unwilling to suffer any loss, he couldn’t help but laugh. He had not seen her cute yet, cunning side for a long time.“My feet are cold! Can I go in now?” Areiza asked, stomping her feet.‘Cold?’ Darren squatted down and put
Rosy sent Darren a photo of Areiza’s foot bath. The Doctor had advised Areiza to soak her injured foot in hot water every day to speed up the healing process. However, he was told that Areiza was not taking his advice seriously and often forgot to do it.Since Rosy reminded her from time to time, Darren finally felt a little relieved.At that moment, his phone vibrated. And when he saw that it was called from Lily, he cut the call at once.He then called Kenny. “It has been getting really cold lately. So, asked the others to take good care of Mrs. Venzor. Don’t let her fall sick!”“I understand Mr. Venzor.”****The next morning, Darren took Jennifer to Garden Street when Areiza and the kids were still asleep. She was sitting in the living room, relaxing, while Darren walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.“Grandma, what are you doing here?” As soon as Areiza walked out of her room, she was surprised to see the old lady there.“Grandma was missing you and the kids a
After lunch, Ellen told her that he needed to talk to her about something.“What’s wrong?” Areiza asked, visibly confused. Is there some problem with my patients?’ she wondered.“Areiza, I just got an interim notice that a certain someone will be joining the program,” Ellen replied, looking at her awkwardly.Areiza breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his response and said, “It’s fine. Do you know who it?”Recently the hospital organized a special program for pregnant women and because Areiza was a mother and doctor, she was assigned to assist one of the senior doctors of the Gynaecologist department in this program.“Your husband,” Ellen appeared to be conflicted.“What? Are you serious?” Areiza’s eyes widened in disbelief.Ellen stretched his nose and sighed. “It was the director’s order. After all, your husband is the biggest shareholder of our hospital.”Anger flared up in her heart as she sneered. “Does he think he can do whatever he wants, just because he has money?”“Areiza c
“Didn’t you understand what I’ve just said?” Darren snapped. He was starting to get impatient as Areiza kept dozing his touch like a caged animal. Frustrated, he held her chin with his thumb and index finger and forced her to look at him.“No, I didn’t!” Areiza fired back. She was violently panting under him as she spoke. She looked him in the eyes, her eyes red and lips pursed.He should be the one who was by her side when she was pregnant. However, she gave the right to Dylan, and that infuriated Darren. But then, his eyes fell on her soft pink lips and his anger disappeared an innocent, replaced by a burning desire to make her his. She wanted her to love and body. The only thing he was thinking right now was to punish her in bed.Ridiculous as it might seem, he wished he could eat her so that she would always belong to him. He followed his desire and kissed her as he missed her. However, her phone suddenly rang. He sniffed for a second and Areiza took this opportunity to turn her f
“Calm down. If you suddenly had a heart attack because of me, how the hell would I explain it to Ellen? Don’t worry, I have been soaking my feet on hot water. Besides, I will also wear thick clothes when I went out. I will get better soon.” She assured Ria.However, her reassurance didn’t dispel Ria’s disappointment. She said, “You are an idiot. Darren is your husband, not an ornament.”“Ria, I live in his house, and he pays for the children’s expense. How else do you think I can afford this golf club?”“Really?”“Yes, Darren even pays for the kids and my meals every day.”Ria smiled with satisfaction and said, “Very good. You should spend his money.”Ariza breathed a sigh of relief. At last, Ria had finally stopped goading her into spending Darren’s wealth. But just when she thought that conversation about Darren was over, she asked her another question about him again.“By the way, Areiza, have you talked to Darren recently?”“No,” she briefly answered. Darren and she had not talked
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
