Our dance ended when Sean came to interrupt us.“I think Dad has had enough of dancing with a young woman.”My father-in-law chuckled.“She is a delightful and attractive young woman, my daughter.” I blushed when I heard him refer to me as his daughter.“Come on, give this old man a hug,” he said, and I laughed, then immediately hugged his slightly chubby body; he kissed the top of my head and went to his wife.“Well, your favorite guy is here. Can you still dance? Because I don’t accept rejection.”I laugh at his pushy demeanour, and we dance; I wrap my arms around his neck, my hands intertwined and locked at the nape.“What did my father talk to you about?”It seems I’m not the only one who has high curiosity here.“You want to know?” I lure him like someone offering a piece of fish to a cat, his lips twitching with laughter.“Yes and no.”“Your father told me about you.”The answer succeeded in changing his expression to be wary; you got to love! My senses smirked at her sly expres
I leaned my back on the pillow behind my body. I seemed exhausted, and I needed a sugar intake to get rid of this fatigue. I grabbed my cell phone on the nightstand beside me; there were several notifications from my What's Up application and chats from Caroline, Benjamin, and Ariel(?) I refreshed my memory; I never gave him my contact; I shrugged my shoulders to ward off my unimportant curiosity. I replied to a chat from Caroline, who whined at me to give the gift I had prepared for her immediately. Still, I promised to give it to her on her wedding day, which will be held in two weeks. Then, I chatted with Benjamin; the man asked how I was and wanted to meet me on Wednesday. I had to see my schedule for that day; the chat from Ariel contained the same request as Benjamin's, so I decided not to give him an uncertain answer. I checked my email after sending replies to the three people, and an email from Orchid HSM sent my teaching schedule starting tomorrow at 8 a.m. in vocal class. S
Author POVThe man holds a photo of a beautiful woman with a charming smile. Then he kisses the picture passionately. he is very infatuated with that woman. He wants to get a chance to be close to her woman, even if only for a day. He wanted to feel her lips, caress her beautiful face with his fingers, and spend a passionate night together.The man clenched his fist, holding the woman’s photo, when reality didn’t go his way. The woman married Sean Valentino Valentino, a man she hated so much because of his luck. He should be the one who got all that luck, adopted by the Al Valentino family, getting the facilities and luxuries that ultimately made him a man of high dignity. No, it shouldn’t be that bully Sean who got it. Still, he, and after Sean had taken all the things he wanted, he took back the only thing he had always wanted, making an Ariana Alexandra Alexander his own.“If I can’t have Ariana, then neither can she.” The man threw the cigarette he had smoked on the floor by slamm
I know he won’t stay still; I’m hoping for a miracle here.“Reunion with my management friends first,” I replied with a wary attitude. I glanced at Sean; he was still focused on his tablet, but I knew his attention was entirely on this topic.“Tomorrow I have to go to Germany for three days, and don’t go anywhere while I’m not here.”Oh no! He will start with his prison warden mode.“I need to go out with my friends.” I started, he can’t be overprotective like this; I could die young later. My senses looked at me with an approving look.“Don’t argue, Ana, you’re not safe after the attack and you want to roam freely, I don’t want anything to happen to you.”Oh my God, I wasn’t even here when it happened; why is he always thinking too far??“There’s Caroline there too.”“Caroline almost fell victim to that attack.”Oh, shit! My freedom is on the brink; I chuckle angrily and fold my arms under my breasts. He’ll be gone for three days, and he won’t know I’m gone; my senses smiled slyly wh
I massaged the space between my forehead, then diverted this conversation to the dinner served on the table for a long time.Silence stretched between us at dinner; the discussion made me dizzy and angry. Until I finished, I was in no mood to talk and left Sean alone in the kitchen, heading to the music room. I took the guitar and sat on the sofa, folding my knees. Playing random tunes and my mind wandering, we don’t know each other well yet, but we’re in love, well, that’s what I think, and I hope it’s true. I don’t care how much we argue about his decision. Still, I will always come back to him, forgive him, and accept his choices, even if they are sometimes very contrary to what I want. When I turned my gaze towards the entrance of this room, Sean was standing there, looking at me with a look that I didn’t understand. I looked at my fingers and rattled one of the guitar strings; Sean came over to me and then sat with me on the sofa.“You are okay??”I don’t know what this question
Unlucky! I forgot the existence of this curious queen beside me; I glanced nervously at Caroline, my mind working to find a good answer.“Just a natural and classic punishment.”I cursed myself for having to blush while saying this. Can’t this be a fair discussion??“Classic? Like what???”Earth, swallow me now! I shouldn’t have talked about this when Sean called me while Caroline was with me; what if Caroline judged this as something unnatural?? Well, that’s not fair!! My mind snapped; making love over pain mixed with pleasure and punishing through sexual intercourse is something that probably not everyone goes through. Maybe Caroline went through it with Andrew; of course not!! What kind of person would want to do that unless he was mentally ill!! I snapped out of my senses, screaming angrily at me; my Inner Goddess contemplated on her red sofa,My husband is mentally ill.Suddenly, my heart fell at my feet.“It’s nothing,” I replied, trying to hide the anxiety that overtook me. Ben
"Ana! You have to see this."Like a wild animal that knew no rules, Hannah came into my room and took me by surprise. I jumped out of my chair, and she came in with a laptop, came over to me, and put it on my desk. Oh, Lord! That's news about Sean, who had an accident while leaving the airport. It looks like the car he was traveling in was hit by someone from his right side as he was about to leave Changi airport, and the vehicle looked pathetic. My blood immediately cooled, and I covered my mouth with both hands. Susan—a vocal teacher for 11th graders—came and told me someone was looking for me in the school's living room. I immediately rushed to meet the person. My mind was only on Sean, and I prayed for his safety. Sam stood tensely near the sofa."I'm here to take you to the hospital."I nodded with a feeling of surprise that swept over me. Stuffing my things in my handbag in a hurry, tears gathering in my throat and tears gathering behind my eyes, I tell Hannah to come home early
Sean had just come from the gym when I was about to get out of bed. I sat back on the bed, enjoying his figure; he wore a gray singlet and black sports trousers with white stripes on the sides. His body was sweating, and I looked at him with a look like I was seeing a fantastic sight. Sean let out a smirk and glanced at me as he crossed the bed, and then he walked to his wall in the closet; I followed him. He took something I don’t know what it was, closed it, turned around, and walked towards me; I saw a black jewelry box; yeah, Lord! No more gifts. I waited where I was sitting now. Sean sat next to me and gave me the jewelry box.“Happy Birthday, Ariana.” He smiled after saying that. I was surprised, then realized one thing: Yes, it’s my birthday, and he remembers it. I smiled and then laughed at my forgetful attitude; I looked at Sean with a questioning face.“Open it!” his command answered my question, which I didn’t say. I opened the box, and a pair of diamond earrings from a wor
Five years Later. Enjoy the view that is currently visible in our backyard. Sean is enjoying his role as a father to our son, Danish, who is five years old; they are playing with their potato gun. Sean taught our son many things, and it’s no wonder that Danish could accept everything his father taught him, even though he could improvise well. I smiled through the kitchen window as I watched Sean act out a shot from Danish, dramatic and ridiculous. He dropped his body on the grass garden while placing one hand on the part of his heart because the bullet hit it. Danish approached Sean and then dropped his tiny body onto the man’s body. Sean hugged him, and they laughed together; my smile grew wider, seeing the behavior of the two of them.“Mrs Valentino, lunch is ready.” Mrs. Liam interrupts my time enjoying the good stuff. I approached them and invited them to lunch from the kitchen to the backyard. Danish ran towards me as I came to the father and son; I lowered myself so that I was
I smiled as I closed my eyes; it seemed like he wanted to tell me something tonight. My Inner Goddess pulled her fur blanket up to her neck, ready to listen to a bedtime story from Sean Valentino.“Really?? I feel so married to a man who has everything like you; all men dream of being in your position. You are exceptional in the eyes of the world and mine.” My sleepiness was fighting with my consciousness; Sean inhaled the scent of my hair and buried his nose in mine, one of his arms wrapped around me like a vine.“Only my current life that many people want, before this, I was just an outcast with nothing, I didn’t even have the courage to approach you when we were children, and until now I will not be able to experience this happy life. If it weren’t for you wanting to marry me.”My life before meeting him was very different; it never crossed my mind to marry a man like Sean. My criteria are only about my life. I smiled as I thanked myself for this beautiful life.“I still want to kn
Shaking hands with Sean, Detective Charlie sat on the sofa across from us. He has a firm face; I’m sure people must respect him because his attitude currently looks formal and doesn’t seem very friendly. Perhaps people who work like him must behave in front of clients like today so that people provide correct information.“All the evidence submitted by your personal assistant has been investigated by us and we are connecting it with the existing case, we are very pleased with you providing accurate evidence, Mr Valentino.”“Then, what made the detective come here??”I glanced at Sean, who seemed to have an intimidating face on him. Detective Charlie cleared his throat, trying not to be affected by the stern look on Sean’s face, but it seemed my black and white knight was very good at this. My Inner Goddess looked tensed on her red sofa like I was.“The perpetrator said that your wife ... I mean Mrs Valentino, had contact with the perpetrator while still a professional.” Detective Char
My mother-in-law approached me, half running; Rani and my father-in-law were behind her. I got up from my seat and immediately hugged Mama Ramia. She started crying. She ended her hug and checked my condition, her eyes wet with tears.“How are you?? Are you hurt?? How is the baby?? Is he safe??”Panic and fear were so evident in her questions that I replied I was okay, and he was a little relieved by that. My father-in-law also hugged me; after that Rani, she sobbed on my shoulder.“He’ll be fine.” I tried to sound okay in responding to the current situation. Still, unfortunately, I failed to look strong in Rani’s eyes, just the opposite. We sat on the bench I had sat on a moment ago, my brain replaying our memories together this morning in the kitchen. I can still clearly remember everything we went through so far: all those laughs, his seductive gaze, his smile that could make women in this world melt, and all his ego and attitude that turned my world upside down. All those exciting
It was Sean’s voice. I was too late to escape; Ariel immediately locked my neck using his arm.“If you make a sound, this gun will expel your fetus in a lifeless state.” He put the muzzle of his gun behind my stomach. Sean appeared along with Sam and Jared; his gaze turned threatening; he just looked at me for a split second, then looked back at Ariel.“One step means one shot,” Ariel said; my body was trapped in an ice block. Sean ordered Jared to bring Joana’s body immediately; the man lifted Joana and left this tense situation. While Sam checked Zafrina’s condition and then carried the woman’s body away from this place, there were only three of us now.“You have to pay for what you did to my father.”“My business with your father is finished, besides he can’t pay his debt to me, isn’t it all because of you? I know what you’re doing, Ariel.”Calm and seemingly in control, though I could see the fear in his eyes clouded by his vigilance. Ariel laughed; that sounded mocking. This man
“Everything is alright?” the girl asked as she entered my workspace. “Please tell Carlos, I need some hot chocolate milk before I go to a meeting, I haven’t had breakfast yet.”Joana swiftly left, regretful for wasting my time this morning with that silly thing with Sean overtaking me, but I enjoyed it. I smiled again. Carlos came with a glass of warm chocolate milk; he smiled kindly at me before leaving my room. I dropped my ass into a soft leather chair, drank my chocolate milk up to half a glass, and left my room to attend a meeting. Joana and I got out of the elevator. When we got to the floor of the meeting room, a man who was the janitor of this building was cleaning the floor using a vacuum cleaner; at first glance, I seemed to recognize the man. Joana turned my attention to the topic of today’s meeting; when I entered the meeting room, all the financial staff of this foundation were already present. I immediately started the meeting, which I had postponed due to my lateness.
“Ana... honey.”I felt someone shake my body. I opened my eyes and stared greedily at Sean’s face, which was only inches from mine.“Oh, Sean, I-I....”The cry came out, along with the fear that overtook me at this moment. Sean calmed me down by kissing my forehead.“Relax, I’m here with you, you’re safe.”I tried to stop the crying and calm myself from the damn nightmare. Ariel is a threat that cannot be underestimated; Sean wipes the tears on my face.“What’s the time now??” I distract myself from the bad feeling after the nightmare.“Five in the afternoon, you slept for about two hours.”Sean got up from his current position on top of me.“I’ll get some water,” he said before leaving. I just nodded. Leaning on the headboard with the pillow behind me, I remembered the nightmare I had a moment ago. It was just a dream; maybe I was too worried about its existence. However, I can’t deny that the man is a threat that could turn into a horrible thing at any moment. I closed my eyes and e
I reassured him by nodding, his lips finding mine, kissing me passionately, and then we were carried away by the kiss. My hands are behind his head, stroking his hair while he presses the nape of my neck to deepen our kiss. My desire is shaking because of this kiss. I want this man more than anything; he is only for me and mine. I close my body towards him until I climb on his lap. His fingers nimbly unbutton my blazer one by one, then unbutton my satin shirt. Our kiss broke when my bra still covered both of my breasts. His face immediately buried between my breasts, inhaling my scent greedily.I held back my moans as his tongue brushed against the mound of my breasts, biting my lip to keep my cries from escaping and embarrassing me because Sam could have heard me. He also unhooked the bra that was in front. Passion stabbed deep into my core at the groin as the top of my breast was in his mouth, and one hand squeezed my other breast.Unlucky! I’ll reach my peak in a minute, his free h
I just finished a meeting with the business people who took part in running this foundation. I was surprised by the presence of someone. Phillip was here and became one of the team of experts for this foundation. Shaking my hand, he smiled at me, a smile that never changed, and that smile that made me fall in love with him and feel unrequited love.“How are you??” he asked, looking at me with his charming smile, but Sean’s smile was still more dazzling; my Inner Goddess smiled lopsidedly in response to my words.“I’m good, thank you for everything you do for this foundation,” I said sincerely.“I am happy to be able to work with your husband, he is a very competent and noble-hearted person, this foundation would not exist if not for him.”I agree with that statement; Sean is one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs who is generous and has a foundation that establishes hospitals, schools, orphanages, colleges, and rehabilitation centers for people who have experienced trauma due to being vi
