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
Chapter 58: Memories"Eli ..."I stopped sobbing and turned to Yvor who was now standing in front of me. I thought he already left."Just go, and leave me alone," I warned him and then turned my back on him.But instead of following what I said, he firmly held my wrist and dragged me towards the Honda Civic that was parked nearby."What the heck, Yvor Sebastian! I said, let me go! I need to go home," I grunted and tried my best to pull my wrist back but the madman wouldn’t just let me and he even has the guts to grin at me."I missed hearing you say my full name," he muttered and forcefully pushed me inside the car. He then settled at the driver’s seat and quickly locked the doors, making sure I won’t jump just to run away
Chapter 59: ReconcileAfter a minute or so, he broke the kiss when my tears started falling."Hey, why are you crying?" he worriedly asked and kissed my tears away. I stilled on what he did but I still let him. Maybe because . . .I’ve been longing for him. And I missed him.I missed his love for me—a love that is so pure and sincere.I smiled lightly at him and shook my head. "N-no, it’s just that something stuck in my eyes and made me teary.”He cheekily laughs at my lame excuse. "Your reason is so used up, Eli," he muttered, chuckling and sighed afterwards. "Is it about the kiss? I’m sorry about it but I didn’t regret doing it. I just really miss you," he admitted and heaved a sigh once more. "Looks
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

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.

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.
