Jennifer was also a big shot in the business world during her prime. When she was serious, she exuded an intimidating aura.Areiza immediately comforted her, “I am sure Darren will try his best to do right by our family. We just have to let him make his decisions, and one of them is us getting divorced. Please don’t tell everyone that I am your granddaughter-in-law from now on. I don’t want the embarrassment when Darren and I finally finish the process.”Areiza finished speaking and looked into Jennifer’s eyes, hoping that she would grant her small request.Slowly but surely, Jennifer’s eyes softened, and she curled up her lips in a sympathetic smile. She leaned over and hugged Areiza and said, “Okay dear. I will take back what I said to everyone.”Jennifer had always been a decisive person. As soon as she finished her words, she rose from her seat and walked toward the door, however, Areiza stopped her before she could reach for the doorknob. She said, “You don’t need to explain anyt
“Areiza, you look so adorable when you cook that even someone like Narcissus will be fascinated with you.” Darren said.“You are unctuous!” Areiza said but didn’t turn around. However, Darren could see her red ears.Seeing that, he could not help but smile. Whenever she was around, Darren felt relaxed. He hoped to have such days with her in the future.While he was immersed in admiring her, his phone rang.Darren saw the caller ID on the screen and looked at Areiza. She seemed to be quite busy and didn’t want to talk to him at all.So, Darren walked to the living room, answering the call quietly.“What’s up, Hallie?” Darren asked. He was on the verge of losing his patience with Hallie. Time and again, she would cry and beg for him to understand her, even though she would never consider his feelings.“Darren! I can’t believe what you did! How could you talk to my father like that?” Usually, Hallie would start their calls with a crying voice, however, this time it was different.It was
Areiza swore that she was not a person of weak will.But when such a perfect man like Darren pouted and acted like a spoiled brat, she didn’t think any woman could refuse him. So, that she could leave as soon as possible, Areiza promised him that she would finish dinner with him and then go meet Ria.Areiza was absent during the entire meal because she was not that hungry. Also, Darren had been watching her and flashing her playful smiles, which made her uneasy. Only after dinner was finally done, did Areiza feel relieved.Darren kept his word and drove her to the bar.However, after opening the car door for her and letting her out, he stood in her way.“Areiza, drinking is bad for your health, and it’s easy to get into trouble when you have had too much of it. Don’t drink more than three g;lasses of wine, and don’t stay for more than half an hour inside. I will wait for you here.” Darren declared as he looked down at her.Areiza rolled her eyes and gave a frustrated sigh. “Darren, I
Inside the hospital ward.Darren had been getting more and more indifferent toward her lately, which made Hallie flustered and restless. Did I do something wrong? She thought.At this time, Kenny walked in with a bunch of roses in his hand. What was wrong with this man? Hallie thought.“Where have you been? Did you find anything?” Hallie asked. She had sent him to keep an eye on Areiza, but he returned with no useful information.“I haven’t found anything unusual, babe,” Kenny said as he put the roses in the vase. Then, he turned around and looked at Hallie with a frown.“Oh, you worthless goon! Have you really been keeping an eye on Areiza like I told you to? Darren has been giving me the cold shoulder! It had to be her fault!” Hallie said, as she picked the vase and shattered it on the floor.Kenny didn’t even flinch. He had been guarding her for so long that he had gotten used to her mood swings and erratic behavior. Without saying a word, he just went ahead and started cleaning up
“Wait for me Ria. I will go with you!”After seeing Ria leave, Areiza quickly picked up her bag and was about to follow her. She was unwilling to be alone with Darren because she was afraid that it might be too much of a risk.“You are not going anywhere!” Darren stopped her forcefully and pressed her down on the couch.“Let go of me! What do you want?”“Isn’t obvious? I want to continue our kiss,” Darren answered brazenly before he pinned her down with one hand and kissed her passionately.Areiza was gasping for breath, like a fish out of water. She could not breathe as she felt like had sucked up her soul. Darren kissed her fiercely, and she felt helpless, so she patted him on the arm weakly.“Don’t refuse me, babe.” He continued to flirt with her while their tongues were entwined.Areiza's ears were red as she was feeling embarrassed, however, Darren did not let her move as he parted her lips with his strong tongue. Then, Darren started a new round of attack.Fortunately, it was a
For the next whole day, Darren's mood would instantly get better every time he thought of the submissive look on Areiza’s face last night.Darren decided to go for a run after dinner. But when he opened the door, he saw an uninvited guest at the doorstep.“Wow. It’s unusual to see you so happy, Venzor. Are you happy to see me?”Alex's voice jolted Darren back to reality and with that, he put a serious look in an instant.“What’s up?” Darren, asked, ignoring his senseless remark.Judging from the look on his face, Darren could tell that this playboy seemed to be up no good.Alex walked past him and went into the living room as though this was his home. He then sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed and asked, “Tell me the truth. Did you have sex with Areiza in the car last night?” His tone was suggestive, and he even winked at Darren.Darren frowned and didn’t answer his question.At that moment, what had happened in the car last night crossed his mind. He remembered how he could n
Darren’s touch completely distracted Areiza. She knew what he wanted to wanted to do.Because Areiza was madly in love with him, she was unable to resist his touch at all. To be honest, in her mind, she had imagined them having sex many times. However, at that moment, she felt like she was not ready.And fortunately for her, Darren was not so crazy as to do it. Only when Areiza saw him leave did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. Upon hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom, Areiza figured that he was going to take a shower before he continued what he was doing. Thinking like this, Areiza quickly got up from bed, tidied up her dress, and sneaked out of the house.She decided to stay in the hotel for the night, thinking that he would leave his own if he could not find her in the room when he got out of the bathroom.Areiza felt like it was ridiculous for her to run away from her own house to avoid sleeping with a man. And yet, she still didn’t know how to face him.Howeve
After they had their breakfast, Darren drove her to work.Soon, they arrived at the hospital, but just when Areiza was about to get out of the car, Darren stopped her. He said, “I want to stay at your house tonight.”“Okay.” She agreed without hesitation.“You agree?” Darren asked in surprise.“You had better not ask again, or I might change my mind.”“Why are you being so cooperative all of a sudden? Did my kiss satisfy you that much?”Instead of answering him, Areiza punched him as she got out of the car and left without looking back.Areiza didn’t want to think about why she was willing to compromise. Perhaps, it was because of what he said to her earlier in the morning or perhaps, it was because the photo of their kiss was not made public. She couldn’t tell which one was it.The moment Areiza stepped out of the elevator, she ran into Ria, and the latter winked at her and said, “Areiza, Mr. Davis is waiting for you in the reception room.”Upon hearing that, Areiza was annoyed as sh
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
