Tessa had black stockings on her legs; a tight maroon velvet dress was her choice tonight for work. What are you thinking? Are you thinking of her working in a nightclub or working as a bitch? Unfortunately, Tessa's job wasn't that bad; it was better than selling herself.
Her cell phone rang again. Tessa immediately picked it up, as the call was from the customer who had hired her tonight. "Give me five minutes. Are you at the front yet?" Tessa still didn't know who her customer was tonight, nor did she know his face. One thing she did know was that the man named Harry was 30 years old, about seven years older than Tessa, who was only 23 years old at the moment. Tessa quickly ran and stood in front of the old dressing table. She applied dark red lipstick and removed her hair rollers. Letting her wavy display hair fall over her bare shoulders. Tessa had had a difficult life in terms of money since she was a child. From a young age, Tessa was used to working to pay off the debts of her uncle, whose face she never saw. But damn it! The loan sharks kept coming after Tessa every month, and it made her feel sick. Fortunately, God blessed her with the advantage of a beautiful face. Beautiful body; everything looks goal-oriented without realizing it. Tessa began to get used to being a hired woman in any job other than satisfying lust. She could be a mistress, a fake wife, a fiancé, a brother, or a sister of any kind. Even hiring a girlfriend is all she can do. As long as everything he does is based on the money and agreement that he has determined. And one more thing to remember! That she works by the hour. Tessa moved out of a modest apartment that she had just bought over the last two months. For everything she purchased with the proceeds of her hard work, Tessa saw a blue Lamborghini. "Damn, she's pretty rich, too," Tessa said to herself before she drove closer to the car. Tessa's hand tapped on the glass of the expensive car. Click. The car door opened upward. It was no surprise to Tessa because, indeed, the people who hired her services before had also used cars of this size. So, she no longer felt like a bumpkin. The man in the neat suit with the bow tie looked haughty. Behind the wheel, with dark glasses framing his face, Tessa thought he was quite handsome. What did you expect—that the man would be sweet and welcome Tessa like a princess? Blushing! The attitude of a rich man with all his possessions would be arrogant. And anyway, they used Tessa's services and paid money. The car began to drive away from the residence, and there was no conversation between the two humans for some time. "You should pretend to be my lover. And make the woman I'm set up with hate me." Tessa just nodded as Harry hired her services for a fantastic price. They could hug Tessa and kiss her on the lips. If she consented, each couple was entitled to hold hands to support their acting. The car they were traveling in stopped at a five-star restaurant. It wouldn't be wrong for Tessa to spend a little of her money on an expensive dress today. She felt that her job today was quite difficult because of the amount of money offered. "Are you ready?"Harry looked at the face of Tessa, who was his hired woman tonight. Honestly, Harry was stunned by Tessa's beauty. How could a woman as beautiful and sexy as Tessa have such an extreme job? Harry's hand immediately grabbed one of Tessa's and held it as they got out of the car. Harry gave the car keys to the person in charge of parking the car. Tessa let go of Harry's hand. And moved the position of Harry's hand to hug his waist, and his eyes briefly glanced at Harry. The man's expression was surprised only, and Tessa winked her eyes to hint that this was one of her plans. "We have to look like a couple who look intimate." Tessa put her head to Harry's ear, whispering in a voice that made Harry's hair stand on end. They arrived at one of the tables, where there was a beautiful, fashionable-looking woman. She was not much inferior to Tessa, but to Tessa, she was still the better one. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Berlin; I have to pick up my sweetheart first." Harry pulled out a chair for Tessa and called the waiter to bring a chair for her. Because, really, this table only held two people. Berlin didn't answer Harry's question, but instead, her eyes just stared at the bitch beside Harry. Lover? What's Harry's taste in this kind of b*tch? "Honey, are you hungry? I'm sorry I didn't give you more attention." Harry grabbed the top of Tessa's hand and kissed her in front of Berlin. "Ahh, that's okay, honey; you've never been one to miss out on paying attention to me. But we should also be concerned about Berlin's presence." Tessa gave Berlin a dismissive look. Berlin just clutched tightly at the black dress she was wearing tonight. It didn't matter how pretty she looked because Berlin still couldn't make Harry like her. However, they had gone through an arranged marriage. Their meal came. However, Harry immediately pulled out the plate that was served to Tessa. He cut the medium-rare steak into small pieces and handed it back to Tessa. Berlin's eyes began to hurt. Seeing the romance between the two people made her chest feel tight; she was sick of it. His hands just kept stabbing the steak. His appetite was gone. Berlin just wanted to stab the woman in front of him with this knife. "Did you lose your appetite after seeing our romance?" Tessa put on her stupid, perverted face before she smiled broadly at him. "Bitch!" Berlin stood up and sprayed the water in her glass into Tessa's face. Not only that, she gave Tessa a quick slap across the face. Tessa didn't even have time to dodge the slap Berlin was fucking her with. "Berlin!" Harry couldn't bear to see Berlin behaving badly toward Tessa. Tessa looked at Harry; he nodded his head and approached her lips to kiss Harry's cheek in front of Berlin. After doing that, Tessa's hand also returned the same thing to Berlin's face. Tessa's hand flew up to slap Berlin's face repeatedly. She also took the water in her glass and splashed it hard on Berlin's face. "Thank you for calling me out; I just wanted to show you how a bitch acts!" Tessa pulled Harry's hand away from the restaurant, her anger getting the better of her. "Just transfer the money according to our agreement." Tessa stopped the taxi and got in without looking back at Harry.Tessa rubbed her cheek, which was still very sore. She just wanted to get to her apartment and get an ice pack that would take the pain away. And, hopefully, not leave slap marks that ended up turning blue.This was normal for Tessa because this was the life she had been living. She'll take every risk because, well, there's nothing easy about working. And let's just say that even prostitutes sometimes pretend to be satisfied to keep their customers happy.When will she do this?No idea!!!Tessa never knew how long she would continue to live like this. Shouldn't she be enjoying her life, even at her age? Women out there are having fun and dating; some have families.The more Tessa imagined it. Then, it only felt more like an illusion to her. The taxi that had brought her had now stopped in front of her apartment.Tessa took out a few bills from her wallet and handed them to the taxi driver. Tessa got out of the taxi barefoot, deliberately not wearing her heels and just carrying them wi
Tessa just looked at some of the messages that were starting to come into her phone. a lot of work that she should have received today but, instead, she chose to ignore it. After swiping through social media, which was full of all kinds of people covered in perfect characters, Tessa felt sick and threw her phone on the table. It made Tessa feel fed up and threw her cell phone on the glass table in front of her. To be honest, she was bored with not doing any work. But, because last night's events that occurred made her have to rest herself today how could she not? The slap that the snake woman did her left a mark on Tessa's cheek. even though Tessa originally thought it wouldn't be like this. "Damn it!" Tessa accidentally touched her cheek and made her grimace. "I should have raised the price of last night's rent. Look at that!!! Because of that guy, I had to take a slap that ruined my face. " Tessa looked at her face from the front camera of her cell phone which showed how badly h
Axel touched his cheek, which had received a slap from a woman he had just kissed a few minutes ago. Axel was sure he was drunk by now, which was a factor in why he was so bold as to grab a woman by the scruff of the neck and kiss her on the lips. Axel held his head, which was throbbing with who knows how many glasses of alcohol he had drunk tonight, and the last one he drank was the alcohol that came from the glass of the woman he had grabbed. Axel fell on one of the sofas in the club. He closed his eyes, trying to undo one more button on his shirt. Until three buttons were undone, exposing his body. The image of the woman suddenly appeared in Axel's mind as the sharp gaze the woman showed him when Axel's sassy mouth called the woman something he shouldn't have. Axel had just realized that what the woman had said was the truth. Axel had heard from the tender woman, that she was not from one of the workers at this nightclub. ''Forget it, Axel. Consider it a mistake tonight, an accid
The next day, Tessa was back to preparing herself. This time she met someone who hired her for a simple outfit: a black shirt and light blue jeans with rips on both knees. Tessa's favorite shoes have always been faded boots. Before leaving her apartment, Tessa still didn't skip breakfast, though, only making her morning cup of cold Americano coffee and a slice of low-calorie whole wheat bread. Last night's incident at the club really made Tessa feel irritated again when she remembered it. The man's face was so handsome, but it was unfortunate that he had such an uneducated mouth. "Asshole! I guess the slap I gave him wasn't enough." Tessa swore as she stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth. She walked with her plate and glass to the sink and just set them there. Tessa returned her attention to her appearance in the mirror in front of her. She did this every time she was about to go through a job that would either look fun or make her feel miserable again.''Hey Tessa, look at you!
Tessa looked around as the car pulled up to a building. Tessa had changed her appearance into a woman from the upper class. where a black satin dress with a diamond necklace so big it seemed, made her feel burdened with such an expensive price just for a necklace attached to her neck. Tessa didn't realize that James had come downstairs. The man opened the door at her side, one thing that took Tessa by surprise as the man reached out his hand. And inevitably Tessa's hand, which was wearing a velvet glove, reached for James' hand. Tessa stood next to James. The man was also dressed to the nines tonight, hair neatly coiffed. A black suit with a bow tie marched with his appearance tonight. James' face still wore its cold expression. Tessa let out her breath. She moved her hand to hug James' arm, just as James had said earlier that they should look like a loving husband and wife. And one more thing tonight her name was no longer Tessa but Natasha Skywalker. "You're ready."Tessa gave a
"Just transfer the money according to the original agreement." Those words had become second nature to Tessa and the client. Tessa tried to quickly get out of James' car after removing the necklace and other jewelry attached to her body and returning them to James as they were. Only the clothes remained. If James wanted the clothes he wore tonight to be returned as well, Tessa would have no problem with that."Tessa."James' voice brought Tessa's attention back to the eagle eyes that held her hand, just as she was about to touch the car door."Hmm?"Without warning, James pulled Tessa by the scruff of the neck and kissed her on the lips. James crushed Tessa's lips slowly, while Tessa just stayed silent with dilated eyes and did not kiss James back at all."What! Is this in the agreement?" Tessa's mind screamed to immediately push James' body away from her.James' hands pulled Tessa's waist, making her body even closer to James'. Tessa didn't know what to do; on the one hand, she want
Axel was on his way back to his mansion. In recent days, Axel has avoided it every time Hardin invites him to go out and meet. I don't know if it's just Axel's gut feeling or just him thinking too badly of Hardin. But the last time Hardin dropped him off after he got drunk at the club, Axel increasingly realized the strangeness of Hardin. Axel still remembers clearly when he was still sober at that time. Hardin had tried to get close to him and kiss his lips. And of course, Axel didn't let that happen to him, he was still normal, and just because Axel didn't believe in women didn't mean he had to like the same sex!From that moment on, Axel tried to avoid Hardin. Axel also couldn't cover up how much buzz there was about the rumor that he was gay, just because he wasn't dating anyone. But Axel has proven that he is not gay because he always remembers the kiss he had with the woman he initially thought was one of the women working at the club. But it turned out that she was the wife o
The sound of the ringtone from Tessa's cell phone disturbed Tessa, who was still curled up in her blanket. Her hands groped at her bare sides, looking for the square object that was nowhere to be found. Tessa finally wakes up and searches irritably. Her cell phone had fallen under the bed, small hands immediately grabbed the phone and swore briefly to see who was calling. It was a little strange because the number that appeared was a number she didn't recognize. Tessa caught her breath and pressed the green button to answer the call. "Hello."The voice was a little heavy, but like a man who had matured enough to greet her, "Hello. Who are you?" "Is it true I'm talking to Tessa Azela?""Yes. That's right." "I'm Xander Leonidas. I got your number from my friend. Can we meet? I have a job for you.""Wait, Mr. Xander. Do you want to hire my services? If so, I need to have data and information about you before making an appointment." Tessa got out of bed, walked over to the nightstand
"Please don't stress too much Mrs. Josephine. Congratulations on your pregnancy," the doctor said, still leaving Tessa in shock. Even her hands were shaking violently. Tessa could hardly believe that she was pregnant, and that she could only find out two months after her husband's death,her body was so thin it was almost like a living skeleton. Tessa walked out with tears already welling up in her eyes. She no longer had the strength to take a step, amongst all the pain that still lingered. There was always Berlin to witness it all, her body falling into Berlin's warm embrace. "Tessa, is everything okay?" Berlin whispered, holding Tessa's falling body. Tessa's tears were all she could muster. Her lips were pressed together so tightly that she couldn't even let out a sob. It was all too shocking, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad to receive this news. Sadly. Berlin was again faced with Tessa's devastation which gave her Dejavu. Seeing Tessa in ruin for the second time,
"How is Mr. Josephine? Is this resting place big enough?" Hardin gazed at the burial place he had reserved. A very peaceful place to fall asleep in peace, Hardin also chose right under a tree that would protect him from the heat. "Very good. I agree to take this," Hardin replies to the person who helped him find a good burial spot. "Okay. But I apologize in advance. Who will be keeping it?" "Someone who will like it," Hardin replies with a smile. "I'm sorry for your sadness, Mr. Josephine. After this, I hope you get the best replacement," says the cemetery owner. "Thank you." Hardin turned back and looked at the places that had been filled. Many of the years were old, but Hardin would be the youngest to rest here. "Hello. I'm Hardin Josephine, I hope I can make good friends with you guys later," Hardin monologues to himself. Hardin looked up at the clear sky. He smiled with his eyes closed. God. If something happens to me someday. Please make sure the one I love is in a w
As he promised yesterday, today Hardin fulfills all of Tessa's wishes. From surfing to jet skiing and banana boat rides. Now they're recharging their batteries by sipping coconut water on the beach, leaning back on a couple of beach chairs. Hardin is possessive as he doesn't let go of Tessa's hand even though they're both just lying down."Honey, are you asleep?" asks Hardin, uncovering Tessa's beach hat that covers his wife's beautiful face.Sure enough, Tessa was sleeping peacefully, Hardin shielding Tessa's face with the beach hat. Hardin's eyes scan Tessa's face in full, his wife looks so beautiful there's no one like her, not even the goddess Aphrodite."Stop watching my face, I'm going to explode now." Tessa opens her eyes, she can't stand being watched intensely by Hardin."I thought you were asleep, turns out you were lying." Hardin moves closer to Tessa's face, giving a small peck to the small lips smeared with cherry-scented lipgloss."Almost, but you woke me up." Tessa chan
France, ParisTessa looked up at the Eiffel Tower in front of her eyes. She was with Hardin who hugged her body from behind, Tessa's breath emitted smoke as it turned out that the night in the Eiffel was getting colder. Because of the change of season that will soon be winter, Tessa did not stop smiling as she raised her head to enjoy the beautiful spark of fireworks."When did you prepare all this?" Tessa turns her head slightly to look into Hardin's face, clasping his hand tightly in her coat pocket."While you were gone, I called someone and told them what I wanted." Hardin nuzzles the top of Tessa's head.Tessa turns her body and looks into Hardin's eyes, one hand caresses Hardin's face and slightly stands on tiptoe to reach Hardin's face and kiss him gently."I'm so happy to be with you," Tessa says in a small whisper in front of Hardin's face."Me too." Hardin kisses the top of Tessa's hand.Tessa hugs Hardin's body tightly, the fear growing since a few days ago. Tessa wishes ev
A woman stands in a field of tulips. Her hair tied back, she is still busy tending to the plants with both hands. Tessa smiled as she successfully planted two new colors of tulips in her grandmother's backyard. Tessa continued to work on Camelia's flower shop which had grown in size, Tessa tried to stand up with one hand holding her belly which had again grown so large that it hindered her movement slightly."Madam you have too much to do today." Tessa again heard the small tone of the woman's voice that seemed to worry whenever she looked busy, even though Tessa loved all the work she did."Rania stop worrying so much. He and I are fine," Tessa rubbed the surface of her stomach."I'm just afraid of earning your husband's wrath." Rania made a pouty face."My husband can't get mad at you, as long as I'm with him." "I know what you're talking about Rania." Tessa twisted her body and turned around, she stared at the man who walked up to her still wearing his office suit."Honey, why d
The atmosphere was so sacred. Among the white roses that adorned the outdoor space, chairs were arranged neatly. With a white piano in the corner of the altar, everything was so beautiful that day.Tessa gazed up at everything from the second floor, she could see the atmosphere of the wedding venue. Tessa stood in a wedding dress with long flowing tails, the sleeves of which Sabrina had sprinkled with pearls on the chest. Tessa's head was beautifully adorned with pearls, the smile never fading from her face. "You look so happy," Berlin stood at the door, carrying a bouquet of orchids and white roses arranged in a beautiful little dangle."Of course," Tessa added, spreading her arms, welcoming Berlin who came running towards her."Happy new life my Queen." Berlin let go of her embrace, letting her tears fall on the bouquet in her hand."Why are you fucking crying!" Tessa cursed Berlin with a laugh."You bitch! You beat me to the wedding." Berlin joined in on Tessa's cursing, Berlin we
"You're not tired! I know you're sick!" Tessa covered her face as she cried in front of Hardin. Tessa felt like she couldn't do anything even though she was a doctor. She should have been more sensitive to this, but Tessa foolishly felt no suspicion at all."Baby, I'll get better." Hardin covers both of Tessa's shoulders and pulls her into a hug."You should have talked to me... Don't keep it to yourself, I'm your wife! No one else." Tessa continued to speak with a tightness that seemed to fill her chest."Who said you were the neighbor's wife?" Hardin laughed loudly."Hardin! I'm serious," Tessa punches Hardin in the chest."Crazy! I'm cured, I've got a really good personal doctor." "Who?" Tessa looks Hardin in the eye."You." Hardin strokes Tessa's cheek, wiping away the tears that still flow from Tessa's beautiful eyes."I'm serious. We need to go to the hospital, I need to know your pain in detail... What have you been feeling all this time?" Tessa still can't forget what happen
With only a glass wall as a barrier. Tessa looked down at the little fairy Athena who lay with several devices on her body, Tessa stared at the bag of blood that was still not full. This was already the second bag she would be giving to Athena."Hang in there little fairy, after this Aunty is sure Athena is much stronger." Tessa thought to herself, she seemed to have telepathy with the unconscious Athena."Miss Tessa the blood donation is complete." The nurse helped Tessa to remove the needle in her hand.Tessa changed her position to sitting. She looked at Athena with a feeling that was somehow so fearful, Tessa seemed to have an inner bond with the little girl. Hadn't Tessa said it wasn't the first time, she felt the same way.Tessa got off the hospital gurney. She walked out of the room, Axel's face and her husband Hardin's. Isn't it, a scene like this hasn't happened in a long time. Directly or indirectly the three of them were reunited-- albeit under inappropriate circumstances.
Axel stopped by a shop where he remembered that his daughter loved windmill-shaped candy. Before picking Athena up, Axel bought some candy."Athena will love it..." Axel smiled touching the various cute shapes of candies displayed in the window."Do you have anything else to add, sir?" "Not enough of these," Axel said as he took out a few bills from his pocket.After receiving the bag and completing the payment Axel walked back to his car. His foot stepped into the left door and sat behind the steering wheel, placing the plastic bag with his daughter's favorite thing right on his right side.The smile on Axel's lips didn't stop as his fingers continued to do a little dance as he gripped the steering wheel. The journey to his daughter's school only took about twenty minutes by car, but it seemed like the school was deserted. Axel's feet stepped out of the car into the schoolyard, he tried to find Athena among the students who were still waiting for their parents to pick them up."Miss
