I was surprised when someone opened the door to my office violently; I recognized Sean when the man said my name."Damn! Ana, what happened?? Where is Atika?? Did she hurt you??"I didn't answer all these questions. I just cried; when Sean was about to hug me, I kept away from him."Just go! I need to be alone," I shooed away without seeing his face. I wiped the tears on my face roughly; why is he here??"I'm worried about you," he answered my thoughts. I didn't move where I was. We were silent for a while. My mind is messed up; all of this makes my head feel like it's about to explode."Ana, say something." Sean broke the silence between us. I didn't know what to say. My heart aches, and my mind is complete; my finger touches our wedding ring, my gaze falls on it, and spins it around my finger. Should I give up?? It hurts to think about it when I'm in a state of love and have to choose to let go, NO!! My Inner Goddess snapped with my senses; what was I thinking?? He needs me he loves
I pushed the door that was not closed tightly; he seemed to be sitting in his work chair with a laptop perched. Sean massaged the area between his forehead, and while closing his eyes, he looked frantic. I walked over to him, and he felt my presence; he looked at me and smiled back at me.“Dinner’s ready; I hope you don’t mind eating tom yam,” I tell him. He laughs weakly and then tells me to sit on his lap. I looked at his laptop, which showed an email, I read it, and it was from Atika.“I wonder what that woman wants, why can’t she let you go?”I don’t want to mince words; maybe this is a good time to discuss the woman.“I decided to end my partnership with her, in exchange for the business we have been running together.”I furrowed my brow. Business?? What kind of business??“What kind of business??” I can’t contain my curiosity.“A resort in Bali, at first we managed the place together, but it looks like she needs money, and I think she has been disturbing my life enough for so lo
Caroline called me and complained about my absence from the preparations for her wedding. I apologized, but she sounded forced to forgive me; I laughed at her desperate hope I could meet her on Saturday. I rushed to take a warm bath after listening to the long complaint of the queen, who wanted to know everything. I looked at my face in the mirror, and Ariel's unpleasant smile flashed through my mind. I should heed Sean's warning about the guy, put the thought of Ariel out of my mind, and then get out of the bathroom. Sean had been locked in his study for a long time. I rushed to him but stopped before his workspace door when he heard someone calling. My surveillance instincts took over."What?? ...Listen to me carefully, if he ever bothers my wife I will fire you all! Keep an eye on that man and don't let him come near Ariana, if he misbehaves, I will teach him a lesson myself."Can he do that on Orchid HSM?? I was taken aback, so I worked up the courage to knock after ensuring he wa
I was stunned and slapped again because I forgot that was true. A few days ago, the chief of police who investigated our case said that the incident was not accidental. I bit my lower lip because of the guilt that overcame me. I looked at Sean with a look trying to understand, and he caressed my cheek using the back of his fingers. I took his fingers that were caressing me, kissing his palm, then pressing it against my cheek. I leaned on his hand.“I’ll try not to worry you,” I said earnestly, and I saw relief in his golden nets; then he took his hand and lay on my lap. I stroked his hair and played with my fingers. His eyes closed, enjoying my touch on his head, which turned to wringing, and he pulled his hair gently, massaging it in slow motions.“Sunday is Caroline’s wedding, you haven’t forgotten, have you?!”“Of course not, Rani and mom repeatedly remind me via what’s up messages, I don’t know what’s wrong with women and celebrations, they are like deptcollectors when they are pr
My hands were busy tidying up my things on the table when Ariel came and stood in the doorway of my room. My attention was drawn to him; he smiled with an unpleasant smile, whether it was because the current atmosphere was fairly quiet and a little tense. After all, there were only the two of us, or because Ariel does have that kind of smile, I don't know, but I smiled politely back at him. The man stepped in without me asking and closed the door. He came up to me and stood right in front of me. My heart was pounding uncomfortably, and my mind was sounding the alarm. What does this man want?? What's with him?? He came over to me and stood right in front of me."Hello Ariana, you look like you always do."Ariel was trying to tug a few strands of my hair behind my ear when I reflexively avoided his hand; his eyes showed surprise, and his expression looked hurt because I avoided him. The next second, he smiled like a moment ago. I feel uncomfortable with this situation. We are alone in t
He spoke against my neck, so his breath brushed against my neck, the fine hair around his jaw scraping it against mine. It hurt a little because he had shaved a week ago, but I liked the sensation. He moved his body a little away from me, and then his hand moved to the hook of my skirt at the back. My body opened it and pulled the thing down so that it fell on my feet. I stepped out of the item and then turned towards him.My lips attacked his lips again when my shirt left my body. Sean squeezed my ass, and a knock on the door stopped our hot kiss. Sean looked annoyed because of this disturbance. He approached the door and then opened it like he wanted to remove the door from its place; maybe it was Sam. A few minutes later, Sean came back and approached me after closing the door; I stood with my hands folded under my breasts.“What is it??”He seemed to be thinking about something. Sean removed his shirt, walked over to me, and threw it on the floor.“The boy has become a fugitive fr
“Do as I say, or this knife will stab you in the neck.”My blood immediately cooled; oh my God, he’s here, how can he be here?? My mind screamed out Sean’s name, but I didn’t move. Fear gripped my stomach, and I felt my body turn to stone.“What do you want, Ariel?”My voice trembled; his free hand caressed my buttocks and then up to my waist; my stomach immediately swelled with disgust at the thought of his touch sensation on my body.“WHAT DO YOU WANT, ARIEL??!!”I screamed in frustration as his hands were under my breasts. I purposely asked loudly to distract him, hoping Sean or Sam could hear my voice. Ariel hissed sharply near my ear, the tip of the knife pressed against the skin of my neck. His hands leave my body, and he holds me by placing his arms in front of my neck so I choke a bit.“I just wanted to have fun with you while we were at school, but you screwed it up.”Sean came with Sam; they looked at me with shocked eyes. My gaze met Sean’s, and I could see the fear in his
Caroline smiled with a sparkling face when Andrew officially became her husband. Sean and I clapped while standing as the other guests did in front of our chairs; he kissed my cheek and gave me his charming smile that could melt an iceberg at the North Pole. He’s so handsome in a tuxedo black, white tulips on the top of her right chest add a sweet impression to her appearance. At the same time, I wear a peach-colored rose petal dress without a strap; my hair is tied up neatly, a hair ornament in the form of a round artificial rose petal crown in the same color as my dress is wrapped around my head, I’m like a queen’s lady-in-waiting, the expensive stilettos that were my birthday present adorn my feet.After the main event was over, followed by the first dance that our newlyweds had to do today, Caroline seemed happy. Her smile never left her face. We also danced with other couples on the dance floor accompanied by live music by a simple orchestra band specifically for weddings. I enjo
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
