Caroline slammed the door to her room after discovering Alexander had revisited their house. Alexander invited her on a date, and her mother quickly agreed. This was against Caroline's will as she was scared of Alexander. "Open the door, Caroline. Alexander is here to visit!" Glenda, Caroline's mother, shouted as she knocked on the door. "I don't want him, Mom. Yes, he's rich, but he's an addict and a psychopath. I don't want to marry him!" Caroline shouted in frustration. Alexander Mercedez is the son of one of the wealthiest individuals in the business industry in the Philippines. He is indeed an addict and a psychopath. He has had feelings for Caroline for a long time, and he has intimidated all of Caroline's suitors. Caroline's parents and Alexander's parents found out about this, leading both families to believe that marriage between the two would be the solution to reform Alexander. "Alexander loves you, Caroline. Can't you see that? They are wealthy, and the wealthy should
Miguel's hand firmly rested on Caroline's waist as he guided her towards the elevator. Caroline tensed up as they stepped inside. Miguel's proximity and the evident tension and anticipation in his grip on her waist sparked her imagination. She felt nervous because she didn't have any neighbors there. She owned the entire floor. Caroline lifted her gaze to the front as the doors closed. She caught their reflections in the mirrored walls. She swallowed repeatedly as she saw Miguel's unfamiliar face. He looked so refined in his coat and tie. She wanted to step back and reconsider her decision. Her lips parted when she noticed him watching her intensely and darkly. It was evident in Miguel's gaze that he was losing his composure. She tried to avert her eyes, but it was as if they were magnetically drawn to his. His eyes pulled her back. "What's the matter? Are you scared?" he whispered, his voice so close to her ear. It sent a ticklish sensation down her spine, almost making her shrink
Miguel lowered his hand to Caroline's intimate area, his finger delving deeper. It caused a momentary twinge of pain, and regret briefly crossed her mind. However, as he gently stroked her again, the pleasure washed away any doubts or regrets she had, leaving her fully immersed in the moment. Caroline bit her lip and swayed her hips slightly as Miguel made another slow move. She faced him and kissed him. Miguel pulled her closer, his hand slipping to cup her breast from the side, and his other hand moved to her thigh to find her sweet spot again. Caroline swiftly unbuckled Miguel's belt and unzipped his pants. She pulled them down just enough to reveal his impressive manhood. Miguel gazed at her with heavy-lidded eyes, filled with desire. Although she had never done it before, Caroline was not innocent and knew what to do. She looked at Miguel's member, took it in her hands, and slowly licked the tip. A moan escaped from Miguel's lips, encouraging her to continue. Miguel moaned ag
Caroline woke up when she heard her phone ringing. She swallowed when she felt Miguel moving beside her. She rubbed her forehead as she remembered what they did last night. She bit her lip because only a blanket covered their bodies. She couldn't believe that she was still with the man she had a one-night stand with last night. Suddenly, she remembered Alexander. She left him at the bar last night. She didn't say goodbye to her suitor. "Good morning," Miguel whispered as he kissed her on the cheek. She quickly grabbed the blanket and covered herself with it. Miguel looked at Caroline with a playful smile. "No need to hide it. I already saw that." She looked at Miguel with widened eyes. She felt a little embarrassed. "You need to leave." "Is your boyfriend coming soon?" Miguel asked with a smirk, leaning closer to Caroline's face. Caroline swallowed nervously. "But I still want to be with you." Caroline took a deep breath. "I don't have a boyfriend. Just please leave."
"This is so unfair, Dad! You allow Cecile to have a boyfriend while you let me get involved with an addict!" Caroline shouted. She closed her eyes and let the tears flow from her eyes. "You're so unfair! You're taking away my right to do things that make me happy! I've been a good daughter, Dad. I followed everything you said. But it's completely wrong to involve me with that person!" "Sir, the person you've been waiting for is here," their maid Marikit announced. Samson sighed. "Let him in." Caroline wiped her face with her hands. Glenda sat down on the couch with a huff before sipping her tea. She glared at her daughter. Samson greeted Caroline's newly hired personal bodyguard. Glenda smiled and followed her husband. "I'm glad you made it. It's perfect timing as our rebellious daughter just got home," Glenda said, glancing at Caroline, facing away as she wiped her face. Caroline clasped her hands. She had never been a rebellious child. She didn't understand why her parent
Caroline woke up late in the afternoon. She had no intention of going to work because she would have to see her parents again. Her whole body was exhausted, and she just wanted to sleep all day.She closed her eyes as there was a knock on the door. Pretending to be asleep, she involuntarily bit her lip at the delicious smell of food. She opened one eye and glanced at who brought the food for her. Her brow furrowed as if it was someone different than usual who delivered the food. She scrutinized the young man in a black suit."Breakfast in bed, My Queen!"Caroline clenched her teeth upon seeing Miguel holding a food tray. There was a hint of teasing in the young man's voice."Get out! I'm not hungry!" she snapped at him, her eyes fixed on the food."I won't leave unless you get up and eat the food prepared by your cook," Miguel firmly stated as he walked toward her bed."Perhaps you've forgotten that you're just a personal bodyguard and have no right to enter my room!" Caroline retorte
Alexander's gaze fell on Miguel, quietly seated near the door, observing his surroundings. He approached Miguel and scrutinized him from head to toe."Are you a new employee here?" Alexander asked, displaying an air of arrogance. Miguel looked up and hesitated to respond immediately, studying each of Alexander's movements. "Are you deaf? I'm asking if you're a new employee here," Alexander's tone showed irritation.Alexander's voice caught the attention of the employees. They paused their activities and looked at Miguel and Alexander. They began gossiping about Caroline's uncouth suitor once again.Miguel glanced up when he noticed Alexander standing in front of him, frowning with his hands in his pockets. "Sorry? Are you talking to me?" Miguel asked, covering his nose due to the smell of smoke emanating from the young man in front of him."Yes, I'm talking to you.""I am not an employee here," Miguel formally replied, bowing his head.Alexander grabbed the collar of Miguel's shirt. "
CAROLINE'S POV "Let's go," I said to Miguel as we left Daddy's office. "We're going to the mall. I'll buy clothes to wear later and a gift for Avery." We entered the elevator together. I glanced at him and noticed his unusual silence. I found it strange because he was quite talkative earlier. He looked down, repeatedly checking his watch. Until we reached the mall. He's busy texting on his phone, unable to take his eyes off the screen. He followed me as I browsed for clothes to wear at Avery's birthday later. "Do you have somewhere else to go after this?" He suddenly asked as I stepped out of the dressing room. "The salon? Why?" I asked him, placing the dress in the cart after trying it on. "I have somewhere to go later. I already informed your Daddy this morning." "Who will drive me later if you're not around? You're my bodyguard, remember? Daddy also doesn't allow me to drive a car." "I already talked to Mr. Berto. He can escort you later, Ma'am." His phone rang. He quickl
MIGUEL'S POV "You're just her bodyguard," the guy flirting with Caroline laughed. He tried to touch Caroline's arm, but I quickly grabbed his hand."Don't touch her if you don't want to meet St. Peter," I threatened. I pulled Caroline away from him.Nico smirked. I’d wanted to punch him since I saw them kissing. I felt betrayed. I knew Caroline wasn’t mine. I confessed my feelings, but that didn’t mean she liked me too.“I can take her to my condo. Caroline and I talked earlier. She wants to go with me,” he said proudly.My blood boiled with anger even more. I had to control myself because my friend owned this bar. I didn’t want to cause a scene.“I’ll take her home. She doesn’t need to go with you. She’s drunk, she doesn’t know what she’s doing and saying.”I gasped when Caroline hugged me. She was smiling while touching my stomach. I waved to Tommy when I caught his eye. He owned this bar.“Is there a problem, Miggy?” he asked, looking at Nico. “Is this your boss’s son? Seems like
I smiled and leaned in closer. He tried to kiss me, but I moved away. He tightened his grip on my waist.“Do you want to come to my condo?” he asked as he danced, pressing his body against mine.I suddenly thought, "I don’t know this guy. I just wanted to have fun, but I didn’t want to go with him."“I’ll think about it,” I answered. I continued dancing. I took his hand off my waist and put it on my shoulder.I was facing away from him as I danced. I stopped dancing when my eyes caught sight of Miguel. He was glaring at me angrily. I rolled my eyes and faced the guy again.“By the way, what’s your name?” I accepted the drink the waiter gave me.“I’m Nico. But you can call me babe.” He fixed my loose hair.I suddenly laughed at his cheesiness. “Nice name, Nico. I’m Caroline,” I introduced myself.“Let’s have another glass?” he asked.I immediately nodded. He pulled me to the bartender. We were given a glass of wine each. I frowned when I tasted it. It tasted different. This was the fir
The dark-skinned woman rolled her eyes. She looked me up and down again. I didn’t back down. I stared at her too. She was beautiful. Her skin wasn’t dirty at all. I just wanted to tease her. She had large breasts and a beautiful body curve.“Caroline?”We all turned when I heard Amira’s voice. My eyes widened when I saw what she was wearing. Her breasts were almost spilling out of her strapless dress. She walked towards us, holding a drink.“How are you? When will you revisit Michelle?” Amira asked. I swallowed when she suddenly hugged me.“You know each other?” asked the three women. Their eyes shifted between me and Amira.“Yes. She’s Miguel’s friend. She’s also the daughter of Miguel’s boss,” Amira answered. Amira’s forehead furrowed when she noticed the expressions on their faces. “Why are you looking like that? You look like the world has ended.”“You’re friends with this woman?” asked the woman with short hair. “She insulted us, Amira. She even called us smelly and said we smell
A man approached Miguel and put his hand on his shoulder.“I don’t care if you’re her date,” the man said, glancing at me. “I’m going to teach him a lesson!”My eyes widened as the man suddenly punched Miguel. But Miguel quickly dodged the punch, sending the man sprawling to the ground. I got out of the car and pulled Miguel away from the man.A few men approached us, presumably the man’s friends. They helped him to his feet.“Let me go!” the man yelled angrily and kicked the men helping him up.“Drake, that’s enough. You’re drunk. Don’t start any trouble!” shouted a man with dark skin and curly hair.“I’m going to teach that woman a lesson! How dare she call me a b-” He didn’t finish his sentence before he threw up.“Let’s just take him home. He’s drunk,” said one of his companions, who had slanted eyes. He looked at us. “Guys, please excuse our friend. He doesn’t know how to control himself when he’s drunk. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”Miguel just nodded. He put his arm arou
I excitedly entered my room. I searched for clothes in my suitcase that I could wear. I found a black strapless silk dress. I looked at myself in the big mirror. After I got dressed, I put on light makeup just enough so that the swelling of my eyes wouldn’t be noticeable.“I’m done!” I announced when I came out of my room. I furrowed my brow when I saw what Miguel was wearing. “We’re going to a bar.”He was wearing a black suit and black pants. In his outfit, he looked like a mafia boss, and he became even more handsome.“I don’t have anything else to wear, Caroline. You’re the only one who’s going to drink. I’m your bodyguard. I’ll watch over you while you’re partying,” he said gruffly.Sometimes I wonder if he works for my family. Since we became close, our way of addressing each other became casual. I can also show myself to him, the real me.He opened the car door for me. I immediately got in. I looked at myself in the mirror. I adjusted my eyeliner and eyeshadow.“Fasten your sea
I wanted to go with him to ease the problems I was thinking about. But I immediately changed my mind when I heard Love Rein’s name again.“Love Rein was asking what your favorite foods are. She plans to visit here.” Miguel sat on the floor.I closed my eyes before facing him. I forced a smile. “Did you tell her where I’m living now?”Miguel nodded. “She wants to be friends with you. There’s nothing wrong with that, I think -”“I need some privacy, Miguel! It would help if you hadn’t told her where I live. Why are you so impulsive? You didn’t even ask me if I wanted to be friends with her or not. I know you’re friends with her. You two have a history, especially since you have feelings for each other. You’re friends with her, Miguel. I’m not. You shouldn’t have told her where I live!”“I told her the address of your house, Caroline. I didn’t tell her you’re living in the condo,” said Miguel. I covered my mouth. “I won’t force you to be friends with her if you don’t want to.” He stood u
I stayed in my room all day. I wanted to be alone, so I told Miguel to go grocery shop for food.I opened my social media accounts, hoping my friends had unblocked me. My shoulders slumped when I saw that I was still blocked in their social media accounts.I created a new account. I followed them all and immediately sent them messages. I placed my phone on the table after I sent them messages on their respective social media accounts.I continued sipping the warm soup Miguel cooked. He’s a good cook. It was like I was eating at an expensive restaurant. I looked at the rice Miguel put on my plate earlier. I swallowed when I finished it all. It was the first time I ate that much rice again.I picked up my phone when I noticed someone was calling. I smiled with joy when I saw Avery’s name. I quickly answered it."Hello, Ave!" I tried to adjust my voice so she wouldn’t notice I had been crying. "Ave? Avery? Are you there?" I asked when she didn’t answer.I heard her clear her throat on th
I grabbed a large suitcase and packed my belongings. I took my car keys before leaving my room. As I opened the door, I saw Daddy standing by the side."Caroline, let's talk first. Don't leave—""We have nothing to talk about, Dad. You lied to me. You made me a fool!" I yelled, dragging my suitcase down the stairs. Daddy followed me. I quickened my pace. "What reason do I have to stay in this house, Dad? Mommy is furious with me. I don't want to add to her problems."I caught Cecile in the living room. She was watching TV, and her smile stretched from ear to ear when she saw my large suitcase."Want me to see you out?" she asked sarcastically."That's enough, Cecile! Don't talk to your sister like that!" Daddy scolded her."Why, Dad? She's the one who wants to leave the house. We're not kicking her out. But it's good that she's leaving so there will be fewer people to feed." She rolled her eyes.I smiled. My whole life, I've been trying to get their attention. Now she calls me a freel
Mommy lowered the glass she was holding. She grabbed another cigarette and lit it. It was like I wasn't even there in front of them."Why aren't you answering my question?" I turned to Mommy's friends. "Do you know anything about who I am?"They didn't answer. They just looked down. I gasped."Oh, there's Samson. We're going home, Glenda," Tita Monique said. She stood up and grabbed her bag.Mommy just nodded and took a sip of her cigarette. "Be careful on the road. Thanks for visiting. Just text or call me when we go to the casino again.""Are you leaving?" Daddy asked Mommy's friends when he arrived."Yes, Samson. Samantha and I have somewhere to be. We'll leave you for now," Tita Monique answered. She pulled Tita Samantha outside even though she wasn't done putting on her makeup."How are you feeling, hija?" Daddy asked me. He tried to hold my hand, but I quickly pulled it away."Are you my father from outside, Dad?" I asked. His eyes widened. He turned to Mommy and Cecile."What k
