2024-10-29 19:42:56I FILLED MY lungs with salty air before I speak. “Do you really have a relationship with her? I-I mean, since when?” I don’t care if I sound desperate. I just really want to know the truth.
They all looked at me as if my question had confused them. I wasn’t scared to ask him that question, perhaps because I was dizzy after a few straight shots.
His perfect jaw tightened, tugging the corner of his lips frantically.
“What do you want me to answer?” he asked bluntly. His eyes remained dark and shrouded.
I swallowed hard; vision fixed on the ground. He seemed to be slowly eating me because of his dark stare. Everyone became silent, and no one dared to speak.
“Okay, I’ll take the dare,” he rubbed the back of his neck frustratedly and waited for my reply.
“Kiss me,” I bravely said.
Almost everyone was stunned by what I said, but I lit up my chin to show I am serious.
He clenched his jaw tight and lightly shook his head at my

BUT I FELT his warm palm on my arm and snatch the suitcase I was holding. I shut my eyes with anticipation. The truth is, I didn’t want to let go. I wanted him to hold me like this for as long as possible. But I was hurt. I was devastated and humiliated. I wanted to stay in his arms, but I just can’t. “I have to go,” I barely whisper to him and snatch my bag from his grip. I could feel his rejection of what I said and some violent breathing before speaking. “I’ll drive you home,” he finally said. I smirked. “You don’t have to. I can go alone, and I don’t need your help!” I shouted. I also tried to pull my arm away from him, but I only got weaker. “Let’s talk. There’s something you need to know.” I chuckled. “What do I need to know? I heard everything I needed to know last night. It’s clear to me. So stop making excuses, Mr. Saavedra,” I expelled angrily. He let out a sigh and looked at me for a long moment, then shook his head.

“MARGAUX, IT’S GOOD that you came. We’re all worried about you,” Julia told me with so much concern. “Yes, it looks like alcohol was bad for you in the past, ah?” Allysa groaned as Julia stopped her by tapping her at the shoulder. “Are you okay?” Samantha asked while keeping her eyes on her cellphone. “I’m okay, thank you,” I shyly said, both cheeks turned red with embarrassment because of the full attention they gave me. I also saw Cindy and Carrick coming with Elliesse and Lawrence. I didn’t want our eyes to meet this time, so I just decided to avert my gaze. “Everything is here, come on!” William shouted before pulling his girlfriend Allysa to a mini-boat to board a yacht not far away. One by one, we boarded the yacht that Lawrence allegedly owned. I just shook my head at what I found out. If I only knew, I would not have come and just went straight home. We stayed in the room reserved for us because the yacht was so big tha
My Sweet Seduction Chapter 25: Truth
I WAS SUDDENLY startled when someone stands next to me. My eyes instantly turned to my side, which made me gasped. “Are you done eating?” he asked me softly. “I lost my appetite,” I mumbled, looking back at sea. My heart violently raised as he bowed to the railings where I was holding. He leaned closer into my side and looked intently to my eyes. I was stunned from standing. I thought I could meet his stares, but my eyes remained on the strong waves. He let out a heavy sighed that sent a shiver down my bones. I tightened my grip on the railings because any moment now, I might fall off the curb. “Maybe Elliesse is looking for you,” I said to Lawrence after a long moment of silence. “She’s taking some rest at her cabin.” I smiled bitterly. “That’s why you are here,” I sarcastically said. He did not answer, but I heard his violent sigh next to me. “Margaux,” he started in a softer voice. But I chose

“WHAT DO YOU mean?” I asked with furrowed brows. “You are a good actress, asking and begging for the sympathy of everyone knowing that the evil side is within you,” she fearlessly added. She now stood beside my bed with crossed arms. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I remained calm and composed. “You pretended to be Lawrence’s girlfriend and acting like a real one. How was that?” Her gaze deepened on me. “Now he wins me back, so here you are now, chasing after him as if you were an official!” I swallowed the thunder forming in my heart. She already knows the truth. What should I say? “Oh? Why can’t you speak now?” I looked at her with disgust. “If you’re here to fight, you can get out because I don’t have time for that.” “No. I don’t stomp down to your level. I just want you to know who I am in Lawrence’s life and where you should be!” Her voice was full of sarcasm. I chuckled lightly, causing her face

AS SOON AS I entered my car, my cellphone rang. But before I could answer it, the call ended. I put the handbag on the shotgun seat before starting the engine, but my cellphone rang again. I took it quickly to answer, but I did not move when I saw Lawrence’s name come out. My pounding heart is almost choking me. The familiar pain hit my nerve unexpectedly. I stared at my phone for a beat second, not knowing if the call would be answered or not. I drew out a breath and decided to turn off my phone. I want him out of my system, and I can only do that when I can completely avoid him. I drove quietly home, but my forehead furrowed when I saw the familiar car parked opposite our house. I was in the car for a few more minutes while staring at the car in front of me. “This can’t be happening . . .” I shook my head repeatedly. I crouched down on the steering wheel and tried to calm my submissive heart. Eventuall

“ENJOYING THE COLD and breezy night,” he said casually. “Damn it! Stop playing around, Mr. Saavedra!” I scolded and shot him a disgusted look. “I’m not here to play games with you, Margaux. I’m just here to apologize.” I just ignored him and quickly turned around to get out of the water. I picked up my clothes one by one. “Please, Margaux, let’s talk.” He stopped my arm. I shut my eyes firmly. The night air filled my chest before I turned to him. I had prepared my sigh and kicked him out of the mansion, but my lips felt his. I blink, closed my eyes, and blink again. He’s wearing nothing but black boxer shorts. Water from his dark hair is dripping on the textile and slowly runs down to his broad shoulders. I stared for a moment with admiration. His strong chin, hanging jowls, slack mouth, and neck muscles were his drumhead tight. He looked like hell. All of it can easily bring me down. Easily. Even though I didn’t want t

“GOOD MORNING!” HE greeted me with a hottie smiled on his face. I glanced at some of the staff he was talking to, who were scrambling to leave in front of me before looking back at him. I simply nod, subtly cross my arms across my chest and try my best to act normal. “What can I do for you, Mr. Saavedra?” I ask. His dark eyes lock with mine. He looks even better when I’m this close. I sighed and quickly averted my eyes. “Your dad called me early this morning and asked me to help you out for the party,” he said in a serious tone. I scoffed and let my eyes wandered around and end to his deep-set eyes. “As you can see, everything is in order. Your staff is really hard-working, so you don’t have to watch them anymore,” I stated. “Margaux—” I hold up my hands to cut him off. “Mr. Saavedra, I’ll just call you if there is a problem. Maybe you understand what I want to happen?” He did not answer; only the sloe-e
My Sweet Seduction Chapter 30: Heartbreak
CARS WERE ALREADY lined up in the hotel parking space when I arrived. I’m wearing a white halter dress, matching with my silvery purse and my half-inch stilettos. I went straight to the main door, where the entire function hall was almost filled with selected guests. From here, I could see Mom and Dad, so I quickly approached them. “Mom, Dad!” I kissed them both on the cheek and hugged them slightly. “Where have you been, hija? You’re late.” Dad asked me in a baritone voice. “We thought you weren’t going to attend the party. We’re worried about you. We’ve been calling your cellphone.” Mom added, “I’m very sorry.” I apologized. “The important thing is you’re here. And before I forgot, your friends are already here. They were looking for you earlier.” Dad nods in their direction. I smile widely because Julia, Samantha, and Ally are already there. Even the boys are complete—Jocko, Santino, William, and Jeremy. Cindy and Ca

I GOT A bit of a surprise when a row of resort employees greeted me. I reciprocated with a smile during my step. When my white heels stepped on the sand, I couldn’t help but smile. Maybe there is nothing wrong with undressing it? It doesn’t matter if I wore anything. The important thing is that I get to the end where I know someone is waiting for me. I can see the aisle from here. I can’t still believe this is happening. Tears started to form in my eyes when I saw my friends and relatives waiting for me. They are complete—Dad and Mom with Clarence, Cindy, Carrick, Jocko, and others with their complete attire. That’s when I can’t hold back my tears. It continued to run down my cheek. I paused for a moment as if unable to step on my feet due to too much emotion. Mom and Dad immediately approached me to hug me tightly. Mommy wiped away my tears and handed me the bouquet of roses. “I thought you couldn’t come?” I said with full of

“WILL YOU MARRY me tomorrow?”As if I wanted to laugh at what he said. I turned my attention back to the beautiful city because I could not find the answer.“Tomorrow, I will marry you. I want to make sure you never leave me again, that you will never escape me again.” I was swallowed up by what I heard.“Do you agree?” My lips quivered at his question. I know I have no reason to refuse, but why is it so fast?“We are not yet ready, Lawrence.”He groaned, he licked his lips, and it became redder.“It takes one week to prepare. I make sure everything will be finalized and perfectly polished before I discuss this with you.”My lips parted in his revelation. So, this is the reason he did not see me for almost a week.“I hate you!”My two eyes started to heat up. I let go of his embrace and wiped away my tears.“Hey, where are those tears co

I LOOKED UP at him again and saw his pale eyes. While staring at me, the tightness in his jaws did not let up.“Forgive me if I hurt you before. Maybe I need to correct my mistakes so I can make the right decision now. I don’t know how I can talk to him!” I cried.He walked up to me slowly and pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me. “Shh, don’t say that. That’s fine. Just trust me.”I sunk into his warmth hard chest. I closed my eyes and smelled his fragrant smell. His hugs still did not change. It was still the same as before. I could feel the warmth of his body: the security and the gentleness.How could it be that I hadn’t seen his love before? Pure, unselfish, free, warm, cozy, and real.“Talk to him. Lawrence is the type of man who will not give up easily. Just trust him.”Maybe he was right. I have to trust and believe we can still fix this.I slowly let g

MAYBE HE REALIZED this too and just obeyed the command of his dad to choose Elliesse. It is also not a joke to lose everything he worked for just for Clarence and me.I shook my head as hate and enmity welled up in my heart.My eyes fall again, but I regain my strength. I quickly wiped away the tears that I wanted to drip and tried to calm myself.Eventually, I found myself wandering around the city. I was driving with no direction, and I didn’t know where I was going.Until I passed Peter’s restaurant, where he took me, I no longer bothered to park my car and get inside.I ordered a panzanella and pizza margherita. I suddenly felt hungry as it was served to me while it was still smoking.I started eating while waiting for Brigette to join the stage. I heard from some customers that she would sing tonight.I was enjoying my food when I heard a familiar voice near me. When I looked at it, I did not make a mistake; Jocko was
My Sweet Seduction Chapter 76: Hurt
I DID NOT go to work the next day because of the bad feeling. Lawrence and I did not meet for a few days.After what happened at the party, I did not talk to him again. I don’t think it is the right thing to do. But this is probably the best thing to do right now.If I continue to have a relationship with Lawrence, I am sure there will be nothing left to him. Even everything he worked for will go to nothing. Maybe I should just follow his father’s wishes—and that was to be separated from him.“Margaux, can we talk?” Cindy’s voice spoke from outside of my bedroom door. “Please, Margaux!” she said with a series of knocks.I blew out a deep breath and was forced to open the door.“What are you doing here?” I turned my back on her and went back to bed, and sat down.I heard a deep sighed before she spoke.“I should have asked you the same question! Look at you, Margaux! You

SUDDENLY, MY CELLPHONE rang because of Cindy’s call.“Hello, Margaux?”I immediately noticed the noisy background on the other line.“Oh, why?!”“Come here now!” she said hysterically.I suddenly woke up in bed because of the tone of her voice.“Where?”“Here in Eastwood, in the Royal Highs Subdivision. Just say Carrick’s name to the guard!” After she said that, she turned off the call.Though confused, I obeyed what she said. I headed to the place Cindy was talking about. Gradually I got an idea of what was going on, but I did not want to make a conclusion about it until I had no concrete evidence.In a few moments, I reached the place she says. I looked up at the mansion, where a party was taking place.I tried to call Cindy, but I could not contact her. As she said, I mentioned Carrick’s name to the guard, so I went inside.The
My Sweet Seduction Chapter 74: Friendly Date
I COULD NOT speak immediately. I would have liked to ask what the flowers were for, but I was even more confused when he invited me to have lunch with him.“Don’t worry. It’s a friendly date. I’ll pick you up at twelve. Alright, Margaux?”I was about to speak, but he immediately dropped the call. I could do nothing but sink into deep thought.Could it all have something to do with what he told me at the hotel? I shook my head and just put aside the doubt.When lunch break came, I got myself ready. I also arranged some of my belongings while waiting for Franco.“Mr. Franco Fuentanilla is here!” Karen broadly smiled as she peeked at the door.“Uh, tell him I’m coming out.” I just hovered for a moment as I looked in the mirror and finally left my office.I saw him sitting in the waiting area. He immediately stood up when he saw me.I couldn’t help but smile at him w

“HOW ARE YOU? When is the wedding?” Jocko asked him while swirling the wine in his glass.“Maybe next month, I want to make it as soon as possible,” he said thoughtfully.I was left out. The redness on my two cheeks immediately went up. Lawrence really handles all the details of the wedding. My only role is to wear the gown and the bridesmaids.“You really are a road to forever!” he joke, then had a fist bump with Lawrence.Carrick arrived later, bringing the dinner of Lawrence and me. We walked into the home and decided to dine there.Lawrence remained silent. Even the meeting of his brows was not enough to deter him from looking towards Carrick’s group.“Would you like to go swimming with them, Julia?” he asked coldly.“Uh, not first. I’m okay here.”He leaned back to his seat and looked at me with twitched brows. “So, what do you want to do, then?&
My Sweet Seduction Chapter 72: Rooftop
LAWRENCE PARKED HIS car at the famous hotel. He gave the valet the key to his car and then helped me get out of it.My jaw dropped open as I wandered around the lobby. This is actually my dream hotel. I used to dream of getting in here when I was a child. The beauty and quality of the place are really different. It was Mediterranean-inspired, from the terra-cotta roofing to the white tile floor. Its size is also not a joke.“Good evening, Mr. President!” The one who’s wearing a uniform greeted him.Suddenly I looked at Lawrence with amazement in my eyes. “This . . . is yours?!”He looked at me over his shoulder and smiled broadly.“Gosh!” I just patted my forehead because of stupidity.“I’m one of the stockholders of this company. Actually, I owned fifty percent share of this company,” he said casually.With his posture and kind of smile, I can say that he did not brag about
