"Where are you going?" Drenver asked. I went back to bed. Just stare at the ceiling. He was facing me and watching my movements.
I intend to take my bag now. Because all my things are there: cards, IDs, and the key to our apartment. It's been two days since the accident happened. Ever since he came home after he left angry with me, Drenver's behavior has changed. He will watch every move I make. He is now tampering with my cell phone, which he used to not do. He gently held my face and turned it toward him. "You're leaving, Babe? I was just asking where you're going." He was smiling, but it was fake. I could sense the underlying tension in his voice and the forced smile on his face, making me uneasy. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond, but I knew deep down that something wasn't right."I'll be leaving later. Today is my meeting with the SVL company," I explain. He put his hand on my stomach. "What is your meeting for?" His hand traveled inside my pajamas until he reached my breast. "Hmm, they get me for their next big project." I moaned when he started playing my nipple. As his face approached, he positioned himself on top me, and I could feel his breath on my neck. "Is that so? I'll drop you off later," he whispered, then started kissing my neck. My heart raced as his touch became more intense, but a voice in my head told me to stop. I pushed him away gently, trying to regain control of the situation. "Actually, I think I'll make my way there," I said, trembling slightly. "He got you first, but you are mine, and he can't fucking get you again,” he said between his kisses. I couldn't do anything but moan at what he was doing. My body is on fire. His kisses travel into my jaw and then reach my lips. It was passionate, sweet, and not aggressive. I place my hand on his nape. Accompanying every movement of his lips. I feel his hand roam every part of my body, and then it reaches my peak. "Babe!" I moaned louder when he started playing my clitoral. He let go of my lips, going back to my neck. He started unbuttoning my pajamas, letting my breasts free. He cupped my left and sucked my right breast while still playing my clitoral. I can't stop him now. My body is in his sensation; they are already on fire. "You are mine, babe, only mine,” he whispered after sucking my breast. My body arched, and a waterfall came out of the cave. I was breathing fast when I finished. I stared at the ceiling while catching my breath. I thought Drenver was done, but his kisses were going down deeper. "Babe?" I called him to get his attention. "Hmm?" he answered, still kissing my stomach. We only make out, so his kisses will continue indefinitely; however, he is not stopping now. He removed my pajama shorts. Only a small cloth was left on my body. "You can't do that." I stopped him. He didn't listen to me and continued to remove the fabric blocking my femininity.While I attempted to rouse him by grasping his arm, he persisted in kissing my feminine form. My blood flowed down to my cheeks, and his hot tongue played in my cave like a hungry snake looking for prey. My phone vibrated on the side table. I couldn't stop him and continued with his plan. I reached for my cell phone. I noticed Drenver's gaze rising, but he was still doing what he was doing. I checked the caller ID of the caller. My eyes widened as I hung up. I put the cell phone back on the side table.Why is he calling again? The one who said that he would wait for me to take the stuff whenever I wanted. When he says I'll wait for you to come, I did not speak or answer because I was still speechless then, but I left a message that I would get it in no time. I didn't realize that Denver had stopped, and it was just coming over me. His two arms rested on either side of me."Who's that?" He asked while looking straight into my eyes. "Louie." I lied while fixing my pajamas. "Babe, I'm leaving now to shower and get ready for the meeting," I said farewell to him. "Really, Louie, huh?" He smirked. “It was Louie who called. I didn't answer because we were still doing something." I tried to go through him.He was still on top of me and watching my facial expression. Then we should continue," he said, then kissed me on the lips. “He's waiting at the coffee shop, Babe," I said.He fell to my side. It sighed. "Can't he wait?" He asked while looking at me. “He said he had something important to say." I got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom. The confused look in the mirror dawned on me. I have a little cut on my upper lip. I suddenly remember the night when he left me. I also entered the bathroom to clean my body when my eyes hit the mirror. That's why he's so angry, even though I haven't said anything. He saw a kiss mark on my collarbone; even if I lied that night, he knew the truth.I finished the shower quickly. I went out wearing a bathrobe and found Drenver still lying on the bed and holding my phone. Shit! I forgot to bring my phone in the rush to enter the bathroom earlier. I slowly walked to the closet. I feel around; maybe he saw the caller ID. I looked for clothes to wear. I chose to wear a white turtleneck and black pants."Louie has changed his number?" he asked from behind me. "Yes, because he lost his phone last night. It's because it’s broken again." I lied.How many lies can I tell today? I put on the clothes I chose. Before I sat on the vanity, I got my brush and brushed my wet hair. "Okay, I will drive you,” he insists. I put some light makeup on my face. "No, I'll just drive,” I said. I faced him as I came closer. I bowed, and I gave him a peck on the lips. "Please?" I pouted. "I'll take you." He answered seriously and went straight to the bathroom. I turned around and went to the shoe rack. I get what fits what I'm wearing now. “Okay, Babe,” I answered while fixing the sandals. I will tell him to drop me off at the coffee shop, and then when Drenver sees that Louie is with me, he will leave me before I go to Hownston Pent. I approached the bed again. I took my phone. I checked my call log and saw several missed calls from that guy. One answered the call. Drenver answered the call. I texted Louie that we should meet at the coffee shop near his condo.Fortunately, he was not doing anything right now and immediately agreed. I deleted our messages so that Drenver couldn't read them. What I'm doing is wrong, but I know it will be better for our relationship if he doesn't know what I'm going to do now. "Let's go!" Drenver called. He is looking fresh, wearing a simple black overshirt and cargo shorts.My heart is beating fast. This is the first time we met. I feel butterflies in my stomach. This is the guy I love so much. Even though he has changed, I still love him. As we walked together, I couldn't help but wonder if he could sense my unease. I knew that keeping secrets from him was not the foundation of a healthy relationship, but I couldn't bear the thought of disappointing him. "Why are you so handsome? Can't we not leave?" I was joking with him. He smiled and laughed softly. I like seeing him like this. He is not mad at me anymore. Our arrangement seems to be dating like before.We all thought that after meeting someone who would cherish us, love us, respect us, and protect us, it'd all have a happy ending, but I learned that sometimes people come into our lives to teach us valuable lessons and help us grow, even if they are not meant to stay forever.I was sitting on the edge of my bed, absentmindedly tracing the patterns on my quilt. The room was so quiet that I could hear the distant hum of traffic outside my window. Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the sharp ring of my phone. Glancing at the screen, I saw my attorney's name. My heart skipped a beat as I answered."Friah," his voice came through the line, heavy with gravity. "I have some news. Drenver has been found guilty of murder. The jury has sentenced him to life in prison for the murder of Julia."I felt like I couldn't breathe. Even though I'd been bracing myself for this moment, the reality of it hit me like a tidal wave. "I... I don't know what to say," I whispered, my voice barely audible.
"I take Maxine Marviz to be my daughter." His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at her. He slowly turned to me.Our world was finally at peace. I was standing here in front of him, trying not to ruin my makeup behind this facade of calmness. His words were a balm to my soul, bringing closure to years of uncertainty and fear."As I finally marry her mother, who captured my heart through the years—the woman who makes me go crazy, loves me, and changes me to be a better person—together, we will create a new chapter in our lives filled with love, happiness, and unity. Our family is now complete with Maxine as our daughter, bound by love and commitment." His voice cracked with emotion as he reached out to hold my hand. As I looked into his eyes, I knew that all of the challenges we had faced together had led us to this moment of pure happiness and love.With tears in my eyes, I whispered, "I love you," and felt his grip on my hand tighten, solidifying our bond forever."Thank you fo
"I want my daughter back, Friah," Drenver said with a determined edge to his voice, his eyes flickering with mixed emotions. We were alone in the kitchen. I told Trence I could talk and face Drenver because I knew he was just in the house if something happened. "Whose daughter are you talking about?" I asked without leaving his stare. "You have no daughter here." Drenver was leaning on the sink. "I know you already know what I'm talking about. Trence was not the father of Maxine," he said. He slowly walked towards me. I stepped back as he went near me. "I am," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "And I'll do whatever it takes to get her.""No, I would never let you take her away from us," I said firmly, my heart racing with fear and anger. Drenver's eyes darkened as he reached out to grab me, but I quickly dodged his touch. "Get out of my house," I firmly said. Drenver's face twisted into a sinister grin as he backed away, his eyes never leaving mine. "You can try to stop me,
Days went by, and the doctors told me that I could already be discharged from the hospital. I was relieved to finally be able to go home and see my daughter, whom I missed dearly during my time in the hospital. I couldn't wait to hold her in my arms and make up for lost time."Are you sure you are okay already?" Trence asked concern etched on his face. I assured him that I was feeling much better and couldn't wait to get back to our normal routine with our daughter by our side.I nodded. He guided me towards the wheelchair. Trence wheeled me out of the room; the tension in the air was palpable, overshadowing the relief of finally leaving the hospital. My heart skipped a beat as I heard the urgent call from the doctor, the words "code red" sending a shiver down my spine. They were running towards the ICU.I exchanged a worried glance with Trence, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on both of us. Could it be? Julia? The thought sent a wave of mixed emotions crashing over me.
I'm holding my son's hand while we are walking the path filled with roses. The sun was shining brightly overhead, casting a warm glow on the vibrant flowers. I couldn't help but smile as I watched my son's eyes light up with wonder at the beauty surrounding us. The sweet scent of the roses filled the air, creating a peaceful atmosphere as we strolled together. At that moment, I felt grateful for this simple yet precious moment with my son."'Mommy, it's time," Max said. "Maxine was waiting for you." I knelt to hug my son, feeling a mix of pride and sadness as he prepared to let go of my hand. With a bittersweet smile, I whispered, "I love you, Max.""I love you, Mom," he whispered back.He let go of me and started running away from me. As I watched him go, all I could think was that he would run like that with Maxine by his side. He left me in the middle of the field. I stood there, not knowing where to go next, feeling a sense of emptiness. The sun began to set, casting a warm glow o
"I already talked to the security. He can't go near you again." Trence said. He laid me down on the bed, leaning on his chest. I could feel his heartbeat against my back—steady and reassuring. Trence gently ran his fingers through my hair, soothing me with his touch. I closed my eyes, feeling safe and protected in his arms."He said something," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Trence paused, his fingers stilling in my hair as he waited for me to continue. "He said that he was Maxine's father."Trence's grip on my waist slightly tightened, his expression turning serious. "Maxine's father?" he repeated, his voice laced with concern. I nodded."We never did it, even when we were in a relationship. I don't know how this could have happened." Trence pulled me closer, his embrace providing comfort and support."Should I believe him?" I could feel his heart beating against mine, a steady rhythm that reassured me. "I don't know," Trence finally said, his voice soft but firm."Maybe he's
