Chapter 49: Beatitude
"Are we going to spend the night here?" I asked him as we watched the beautiful sunset. His arms were wrapped around my waist as my back was pressed against his chest.
"It's up to you, Love," he replied. He then puts his chin on my shoulder and then kissed my skin there. “We can stay here as long as you want,” he added.
"You own this resort?"
"Yes. I bought this last year."
"It's relaxing here. Let’s stay here for the night. Maybe we'll just go home tomorrow," I suggested, to which he immediately agreed. "Wait, I'll call Tita Bea first, she’s probably worried right now. I haven't been home for almost two days."
I let go of his hug first to get my cell phone which I put on the table and then dialed my aunt’s number.
I immediat
Chapter 50: CuddleOn the following day, Gavin and I returned to the city around the afternoon as we swam in the sea for a while first before we decided to go home.From the ride until I fall asleep at night, I still feel the overflowing happiness. Even though Gavin didn’t pick me up the next morning because he had to go somewhere before going to the office, I still woke up feeling good. I was even smiling widely when I go to work."Good morning, sis!" I greeted Fellice when I caught up with her waiting for the elevator to open."Hey, it's you, sis," she mumbled, noticing my presence. "Good morning too. Where have you been and you only went to work just now? Looks like you're also in a good mood today.""My boss didn’t let me go to work because it was our monthsary yesterday. A
Chapter 51: Flabbergast From: My Grumpy Boss Thurs — 11:25 am Love, fix your things. We'll go out for Lunch. I love you. :* I feel like my lips are tearing apart to the extent of my smile right now as I read Gavin’s text to me. We are just in the same place. In fact, there was only a large glass wall between the two of us— since we had been together, he had moved my cubicle into his office. But the way he text me seemed like we were far away from each other. That man probably just wanted to please me. But this is okay instead of making him upset. He really wants me to say beside him for the entire day. But I refused because I am worried that we might end up making love at his office table again. Once is already en
Chapter 52: Anguish "Sis, are you really okay? Why did you suddenly go to the bar today, eh, you don't drink?" I stopped pouring liquor on my glass when someone spoke beside me. I glanced at her. She was just playing on the glass of beer she was holding. Lyna Fellice is indeed gorgeous. She is only wearing a simple denim mini skirt—that is I think two inches short from her knees, and a red tube which she partnered with a denim jacket, but her beauty is still radiating. While in my case, I haven't even got to change my clothes earlier. So I still wore my office attire—a black skirt with a slit on the side and a lace floral blouse that I covered with a black coat, which I took off first because I was sweating. It's just a small bar where Lyf a
Chapter 53: DistressedWhen I woke up the next morning, I felt so exhausted. Maybe it's because I drank too much alcohol last night. It feels like my world is spinning and my head is throbbing real hard. So I didn’t force myself to go to work. Besides, it’s already Friday today and I don't want to meet my boss right now.My cell phone has been turned off since last night while I am drinking at the bar with Fellice. That is why I am clueless if he was looking for me or not.I feel a mixture of resentment and sadness right now. I don’t know what will be the consequences of my relationship with Gavin if he will find out about what happened yesterday. But there’s only one thing that I am sure of, he will definitely get furious and hurt. And if hiding it from him is the only way to keep that from happening, I will.
Chapter 54: Perplexed"Sis, where are you? Aren’t you here yet?""Yep. I just got stuck in the traffic. Have some coffee in the meantime, sis. I'll be there in a minute, 'kay?"I nodded even if she wouldn’t see me, "Alright, you take care.""I will. See you. Bye."After Fellice dropped the call, I went inside the mall and headed to the star bucks. I'll just wait for her there.I have now decided to start my plan of finding an apartment to move into. So when I woke up this morning, I immediately called Lyf to ask her for help. She agreed because she had nothing to do today.When I entered the coffee shop, it fills up inside. Maybe because it's peak hour as it is already ten o'clock in the morning. So I had a hard time find
Chapter 55: RelinquishIt's been three days since that day I saw him with his first love.Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday passed by with my eyes always got swollen. I just lock myself inside my room most of the day. So I extended my absence from work for two days. And if Maegan hadn’t brought me food, I might have starved to death.I have lost my appetite or even move around. I just wanted to cry all the pain I felt because I was so heartbroken by what I have witnessed that day."EL, is that . . . Sir Gavin?"I quickly looked up at what Fellice has told me. I followed the direction on where she is pointing her finger and I almost fell to the ground—knees wobbling, perplexed, because of what I just saw.
Chapter 56: Shattered"Are you sure you're going to work now, Ate Luli? Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? Your eyes are still swollen."I tied up my now long black hair first before facing Maegan and gave her a tight smile."I'm already fine, Mae. So you don't have to worry now, okay?" I stroked her cheek then turned away. "I’ll go ahead or I might get stuck in the traffic," I informed her before finally leaving the house.I quickly hailed a cab and drove to the BXU complex. When I arrived at the company, I immediately walked straight to the elevator and went up to the executive floor.It's only half-past nine in the morning and I expected that my goddamn boss isn't in his office yet. So I was shocked when the door of his private office opened and it spat out the man I dearly
Chapter 57: Breakup "You’re p-pregnant?" I mumbled with my eyes widened in shock, looking at Annica."You two h-had s-sex?" Then, I looked at Gavin with watery eyes. My chest tightens just by the mere thought of them doing something filthy behind my back. I already saw them kissing but this thing is too much. I thought . . . I thought Gavin and I can still fix what we have but this . . . this is too much to take. "W-what?! No!" Gavin exclaimed in horror. Fear could be seen on his face. He then quickly closed the distance between us and then held my hands tightly. "It's not what you think, Love. Just hear me out, please," he pleaded. But I’ve already heard enough. And why is he lying to me? Huh! There’s already evidence of his betrayal to me, and then he still has the guts
