Chapter 19: Blinded
It has been two weeks.
Two fucking weeks since that incident happened that made me astonished.
Who wouldn't be? If Lucio Gavin Cradford—a damn hot CEO, my freaking boss kissed me?
Yes! He kissed me! And up until now, I can still remember how his soft lips touched mine. That even

Chapter 20:BrokenI was glued in place. My knees weakened until I could no longer stand up and just fell to the floor. My tears flowed incessantly.I never thought that seeing him kissing someone else will be this hard for me. It’s tormenting me. It feels like my heart is tearing apart.W-why . . .Why is it so painful?I tightly held my chest when it ached too much. I feel like someone is clenching my heart that I can hardly breathe in its tightness. It seems that a few sharp knives had
Chapter 21:StrangeThe next day, I woke up with pain and anguish in my heart. It doesn’t lessen even a bit. And my head ached from crying all night. It was a good thing that I did not disturb the sleep of my relatives at the house. If I did awaken just one of them, I will surely be bombarded with questions that I don't know how to answer.Before leaving the house, I took medicine for a headache—how I wish mending broken hearts could be done through taking tablets too,but it didn't work.So when I
Chapter 22:CoffeeTime ran so fast because a week passed in an instant. And tomorrow, it’s already been a month since I’ve got a job.It was like only yesterday when I was accepted and it was fun to think that I had lasted this long. Because of the attitude that my boss has, no matter how long my patience is, I really find it very difficult to work with him.Fellice told me the other day it was a miracle that I was able to cope within a month of dealing with my boss. Maybe, a big part of it is that because I have feelings for him. It made me hold on to him and choose to stay with him longer than I expected.
Chapter 23: VoyageMorning came and my boss arrived half an hour earlier than what he planned. I hurriedly fix myself and couldn't even formally bid goodbye to my aunt and uncle as well as to my cousins because they were all still asleep when we left the house, heading to the airport. I just texted them and I was surprised when Maegan was up early to send me a reply."Ate, don’t forget my souvenir, huh? Just wrap Oppa Lee Min-ho."I laughed at her message. Her silliness really amazes me at times."What's funny?"I stopped giggling and quickly slipped my cellphone into the sling bag next to me. When I glanced at him, his gaze was only focused on the front with his eyebrows furrowed while driving. But why does he still look so handsome?
Chapter 24: ImperiousA churning stomach woke me up. When I opened my eyes, the white ceiling welcomed me. Then I looked around and my forehead furrowed because I was already in a hotel room.But how did I get here? Don't tell me . . . he carried me from getting off the plane to going up here? Oh, God! That was too embarrassing! I slept too much!My stomach churned again so I get up and quickly looked for something to eat. But I couldn't find anything. I don't even know the hotel's food service line either. So I don't have a choice but to dine out.I wore a thick cardigan before leaving the room. I think it is winter season here in Korea so the wind breeze is freezing cold.I immediately headed to the restaurant when I got off at the hotel. I didn't even bother to check at my
Chapter 25: JealousIn the following days, I was always just tailgating to my boss as well as Traise while overseeing the construction of the C-Mall and C-hotel. Both of them are hands-on and I can see how serious they are with this project. And that’s what impresses me whenever the two of them are working together. So I am trying my best to help them in the way that I can.For two consecutive days, they did the planning together with the Engineers and Architect that were assigned for the project, and then they went for a site tour. From time to time, I get involved in their conversation especially when I am asked for ideas, and then bring them some snacks. But often, I am just beside them silently listening while waiting for them to finish.On the third day, their schedule was a bit loose except for my boss who was still talking on the phone from time
Chapter 26: SottishIt is almost midnight and I am still wide awake. I was just tossing and turning in bed since earlier that I have eaten my dinner together with Traise. I could not fall asleep as my conscience is eating me up. It is because my boss has not returned to the hotel since he went out earlier at six.Our room is just adjacent to each other. Perhaps, he has chosen it that way so he could monitor me or what. That is why I will know if he got back already. But the other room is still quiet up until now, so I am sure he has not come back yet."Will you stop worrying, Lura Elise?! Your boss is old enough not to be worried about. He can take care of himself," I convinced myself just to calm down and then tried to turn a blind eye about him.But half an hour later, I was still not visited b
Chapter 27: Nirvana (Warning: SPG ahead! This chapter contains scenes that are too explicit for young readers. Please read at your own risk. J) I don't know what I would feel after hearing what he just said. If I will be happy because it means he likes me too—he won't be jealous of me and Traise like that if he doesn't have feelings for me, or if I will be upset because some part of my brain says he is just toying with my feelings. It is hard to believe that he is acting like this towards me when he already has a girlfriend. What does he want to accomplish? Does he want me to be a third party? No! I am not that kind of woman and I am not selfish. I won't let myself be the reason for someone's heartache. I can’t take that. So instead of believing what he says it is better for me to s
Special Chapter 5: Second Gen Elli Lurise POV I was about to open the door of my room to go downstairs because Mom and Dad together with my two siblings are already waiting for me there when I halted as my phone suddenly rang. I get the phone on my Chanel Beige Quilted Lambskin bag and when I saw who was calling me, my eyebrows instantly furrowed. “What do you want, Markus?” was my welcome to him, no formal greetings as this is what we used to do now. I heard him hissed on the other line. “Don’t flatter yourself too much, Lurise. I only called you because Dad asked me to,” he coldly muttered. I rolled my eyes at that. “Whatever,” I mumbled and decided to go out of my room while talking to him on the phone, just to conserve

Special Chapter 3: Love = Pain (Ending) After we catch up with my in-laws, Tito Ron and Tita Bea, then came, just in time, together with my cousins. Just a few minutes later, the rest of our friends arrived along with their children and they were followed by the other guests, until everyone are all present. The party then started with a prayer and was led by our hired host which is also the organizer at the same time. "And now, for our gift-giving, may we call on our ninangs and ninongs to come here upfront and bring your gifts for the celebrants?" the host announced, after the dinner and magic show. First to come forward is my best friend together with her husband and then, they handed over a large rectangular box towards each of the triplets. "Happy birthday to our lovely triplets," Ly
Special Chapter 2: Hera"Hello, Cradford family! Where are the birthday celebrants? Tita pretty is here!"From the second floor of the house, I could hear that shrill voice of my crazy best friend. She hasn't changed at all. I am currently in the room together with the triplets as I am helping them dress up because their party will start any minute by now."Mommy, can I go downstairs already?" Lucien asked, looking so bored. He is sporting a prince-like attire. He was already ready to go and he is just waiting for me and his siblings to finish.I turned to him for a moment. "Just wait for a while, son,” I told him and then gazed at our two princesses again to check their outfits.Lurise is wearing a Cinderella ball gown while Lurien has her snow-white balloon dress

I never imagine having a life that was too good to be true. I never thought that a day would come that I will be this happy that I wake up each morning without burdens. This is the moment of life where I am already contented with what I have. Because I really couldn't ask for more when I am already been blessed with a loving husband that always makes me feel special and loved, and three adorable angels that always brighten our day whenever we are feelin
Epilogue: (WARNING: This chapter contains scenes that are too explicit for young readers. Please do read at your own risk.) The newlyweds had just arrived at their rented hotel room in Britain—the exact place where Gavin was born and raised until he reached the age of ten, and this is where they both agreed to spend their honeymoon. Elise almost held her breath when her husband immediately leaned her on the door, the moment they entered the room and then abruptly undressed her by tearing her dress in half. That is why her husband can now freely stare at her body. "Fuck! So lovely," Gavin mumbled as he caressed his wife’s nakedness through his gaze. Lura met her husband’s deep ocean blue eyes which are now pu
Chapter 80: Newlyweds (Finale part 3)Gavin got back to his reverie when he felt a tap on his shoulder. That was when he noticed that his future wife’s uncle—Ronel Millano, is talking to him.“Are you okay, Hijo? You seemed spaced out," Uncle Ron muttered to him.He quickly nodded. "I'm fine, Tito Ron. I just remembered that since the very first day that I meet your niece, I am already smitten by her," he confessed while looking intently at his future wife.Lura then blushed at what her soon-to-be-husband just said while her uncle just smiled at them."Please take care of our niece, Hijo. We will now entrust her to you,” Uncle Ron then muttered to Gavin with full of seriousness in his voice.Gavin quickly nods his head. "I will, Tito Ron,” he re
Chapter 79: Captivated (Finale part 2)Gavin admits that he is impatient as he values time. But when it comes to Lura Elise, he is willing to patiently wait for her even how long it would take. He can offer all of his time solely for her soon-to-be-wife. After all, he loves spending every minute that counts whenever he is with her.However, at this moment, he is starting to get grumpy or more likely to say agitated as the clock is ticking and his bride hasn’t arrived yet. He can’t help himself not to feel agitated. His mind is going nuts right now, thinking that his bride might bail him off."You look like shit, bro," Traise — his best man — blurted out to him, pertaining to his state right now. "Will you just relax?" His best friend then tapped him on the shoulder to calm him down someh
Chapter 78: Encounter (Finale part 1) Third Person POV: Lucio Gavin Cradford, a young multi-billionaire who got broken the very first time he fell in love. That is why since then, he promised himself that he would never lay his eyes to any woman he would encounter. And he once hated the word ‘love’ as he believes that it will just destroy him. But that was before he meets an insane woman who literally crushed into his life, one unexpected night while he is on a vacation and trying to mend his broken heart. That memory is still fresh in his mind. He was driving that time with no specific destination—in the middle of a quiet road under the night sky when a woman suddenly appeared in front of him that if he stepped on the brakes just a minute late, h
