2024-10-29 19:42:56SHE woke up to Jan’s butterfly kisses on her bare skin. From lying flat on her stomach, she shifted on her back. Now he was showering kisses on the top of her breast. After a few seconds, Jan was on top of her, kissing her neck.
“Jan…” She moaned when his warm hand cupped her bosom.
“Hmm? Yes, Katherine?” he drawled as he trailed kisses down to her chest.
“What are you doing—ah!” She arched her back when his warm mouth sucked one crown. It seemed that Jan had not got enough of her from last night.
He raised his head and met her gaze. “This is what couples do when they’re inside the hotel suite, Katherine.”
She ran her fingers through his hair and laughed.
“So, is this why you brought me here?”
“Well... I—” Jan was not able to finish his sentence when his phone suddenly rang. “Damn it.” He groaned.
“Go ahead.

Though she was feeling elated at that moment, she could not help but worry about her aunt’s reaction.“Congratulations again, Katherine,” said Mr. Ramirez. “Anyway, you should attend the next board meeting, so we can officially appoint you as the new Chief Executive Officer.”“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Ramirez,” Jan said. “We will make sure that she’s present at the next board meeting.”“Ah, that’s nice to hear.” Mr. Ramirez turned to her again. “And good luck with Bernice. I’m sure she would throw a fuss.”“And speaking of the devil… there she is,” Jan said while looking in the direction of the door.Kate’s fists clenched when she saw her aunt walking in her direction.“And what’s the meaning of this?” Aunt Bernice snarled.

“ARE you serious, Kate?” Jona breathed out exaggeratedly.She told her friends and classmates that it was her last day going to school in person. Starting next week, Kate will take the online classes and start running the company as well.“You’re just overreacting.” She laughed. “We’ll still see each other, you know.”Kate handed the librarian the books she borrowed last time.“I know. But… It’s different when you’re not here.” Her friend groaned. “Does Natalie know about this?”“I sent her a text.” Kate fished her phone from her pocket. “She hasn’t replied since last night.”“I bet she’s with her boyfriend, and they’re busy with….” Jona wagged her brows.Kate got what her friend meant by that, but she just shook her head.“So, Kate.

“GOOD morning, Sir, Madam,” a middle-aged man greeted them when they got out of the car.Beside him was a woman close to his age and a teenage girl that seemed to be his family.“Good morning, Arman.” Jan gave them a nod.“Sir, this is my wife, Remedios, and beside her is our daughter Rebecca. They are the ones who will attend to your needs while you’re here.”“Thanks.” He gestured to the car. “Our luggage’s at the compartment. Please take them to our room. I’d like to tour my wife around.”Jan turned to her and grabbed her hand, then he ushered her to the stables. There she saw two horses. They looked tamer than his horse Giovani.“What are we doing here, Jan?” she asked nonchalantly as she caressed the horse’s head.“Well… we’re here for a vacation.”She abruptly turned in his direction. “What?

JAN was preparing for their dinner with Isabela’s family that night. The same night, they would formally apologize to Isabela’s parents and ask for her hand in marriage. He was unsure how she would react with the news, as well as his brother and Winona. But Jan was hoping that everything would be fine. He swore to heaven that he had no bad intentions towards her. It was just that they were caught between their parents and other people’s misinterpretation of what happened. He was willing to take all the blame. If not for him, Isabela would not suffer that way.He looked at himself once more before he strode in the direction of the door. And when he finally opened it, he saw his brother right outside his room.“Oh, Fernan. How long have you been there? You should have—” Jan did not finish his sentence when he suddenly grabbed his collar.“What have you done to Isabela?” his brother aske

JAN woke up when someone shook his body hard. He opened his eyes immediately, and he was greeted by his brother, who looked mad at him for the rest of his life. Fernan pulled him up, but he went back to bed.“What is it now, Fernan? Can’t you see that I’m still sleeping?” he groaned.He just tossed and turned to bed last night, for he could not sleep. His mind was occupied with thoughts about Isabela. It was almost dawn when his mind finally found rest.“Well, I’m sure you’d come to your senses once you hear the news that I have for you.”His brother straddled him and grabbed his collar.“What?” Jan blinked and stared at him lazily. “Just cut to the chase—”“Isabela’s parents called. They said she was missing!”“What the…?” Jan pushed his brother away and

KATE and Jan stayed at the farm for two days. She received a call that the board meeting would push through, so they had to go back to the city. He promised that they would be back and spend more quality time together. Now, she was inside her office and finally the new CEO of her father’s company.“Congratulations, Katherine.” Jan wrapped his arms around her and lifted her feet off the ground.She squealed when he suddenly turned around, making her snake her arms around his neck.“Jan, please… put me down.” She chuckled. “We’re inside the office.”“The door is closed, though.” He stopped and kissed her deeply on the lips. “And I locked it.”Kate laughed and pressed their foreheads. “That’s quite naughty, don’t you think?”“Hmm… I don’t think so.”“Jan, just put me down,” she begged.&

KATE was not able to drop Jan at the airport because her schedule was full. His brother offered him a ride, but he declined and said he would just book an Uber. His father left a few days earlier than him, so he had to travel alone. Before leaving, Jan sent her a copy of his itinerary in her email so she would know when he was free.She was checking her phone when someone knocked on her office door.“Come in,” Kate said and looked at her phone again.The door opened, and Jan’s mother came in.“Mom!” She immediately stood up and strode towards her mother-in-law. Kate gave her a kiss on the cheek when she reached her. “What brought you here?”“Well, I had an errand around the corner, and I decided to drop by. I remember Jan told me to see you.She ushered Jan’s mother to the couch.“Bianca, coffee, please,” she told her secretary as they sat down.“Jan also a

KATE held her breath as she walked down the staircase. She was halfway to the living room when she saw Jan’s family together with the detectives in charge of her husband’s case. She took a deep breath before sauntering towards them. “Katherine,” Fernan greeted and nodded somberly. She gazed at everyone before sitting on the one-seater sofa. “H-how’s the investigation going?” Kate swallowed the lump that started to form in her throat. Her thoughts about Jan always made her mind restless. If truth be told, she never had a decent sleep since he was gone. She spent all those sleepless nights crying and begging God to make a way so he could return. Kate tried her best to think of only the good ones, but it was hard whenever she would glance at the empty side of the bed. And now, in the middle of chaos… she was pregnant. The detective cleared his throat. “We still couldn’t find any lead that will lead us to either the suspect or your husband.”

JAN checked in at the same hotel where his brother was staying. He emptied the envelope the moment they got it and looked at its content one by one. He caressed his chin and looked at her afterwards. “When did you get all of these, Katherine?” “Steel delivered them to me before your dad died. I… I decided to keep it hidden at my family’s ancestral house in the meantime.” “And are you carrying them now? Are you going to give them to my brother?” “No…” Kate shook her head and clasped her hands. “Winona called me. She told me there’s a possibility that you’ll come here to see your brother. And she was right… I have it with me because… I want to show it to you in front of your brother and—” “You don’t have to do that, Katherine.” Jan rose from his seat and sauntered towards her. he held her by the arms and looked at her straight in the eyes. “What’s between Fernan and me will remain between us. I don’t want you to involve yourself with that. Do yo

KATE was biting her nail anxiously as she paced back and forth in the living room.“Dear, could you please stop doing that? I’m starting to get dizzy seeing you pacing like that,” Nana Talia told her and sighed. She even lightly hit her leg with her cane.“I can’t help it, Nana… I’m worried why Angelique and Mom still haven’t arrived here at this hour!” She was almost hysterical when she said that. “Their plane landed at ten this morning. It was already two in the afternoon!”“Then why don’t you call Madam Martina and ask her where they are now instead of worrying here?” Her nanny leaned against her seat and massaged her forehead. “You’re not just making my head dizzy. Now it throbs.”“Right.” Kate fished her phone frantically from her pocket and called Jan’s mother.The other line kept ringing until she heard the operator say th

She was followed by the cook, who carried the freshly picked crops from the vegetable garden.The cook rushed to her immediately. “Madam, you should’ve—”“No, it’s alright.” She flashed a smile and continued mixing the fried rice in the wok.Her nanny went beside her and nudged her to the side.“Your aura’s looking exceptionally happy today, dear. Did something good happen?” asked Nana Talia.“Well…” Kate turned off the stove. “Jan finally came out of the guestroom, and he requested some fried rice for breakfast, so I cooked for him.”“Oh!” Her nanny’s eyes glowed. “You did it, Kate! It worked!” Nana Talia tapped her back. “Well done, dear.”“Thank you, Nana.”She poured the fried rice into a bowl and

Fernan did not show up, and Kate only heard from Winona that he had been locking himself inside his hotel suite and would not talk to anyone. She knew what he did was wrong, but then… she could not help but worry about him. Fernan’s situation was not easy, and there was a possibility that his mental state was at stake. She wanted to check on him, but a lot of reasons were holding her back. In the end, Kate decided not to see him and just wait until their paths crossed again. And as for her husband, Jan was another problem. He had been locking himself inside the guestroom. He has barely eaten a decent meal since his dad died and only filled his stomach with different liquors his hand would have a hold. The Villamar brother’s coping mechanism was too far from their mother’s. After her husband’s funeral, Madam Martina went on a vacatio

KATE was at the venue of their company’s commercial shoot that day. She left her phone in the car and eventually forgot to get it, for she was too occupied with supervising the shoot.“Is it alright if we retake that one? I think it will look better if we take the shot from the left angle. What do you think?” she told the director.“Oh, Katherine! You do have a good eye!” the director said after taking another look at the video they shot. “Let’s roll another take of this one.”The director immediately prepared for another shoot.She sat on a bench as she waited for the shoot to happen. That was when her secretary came to her, rushing.“Is there something wrong?” Bianca handed her her phone. “A call from your in-laws’ residence, Ma’am. It’s urgent.”“Hello…” Kate said nervously. Could it be that something happened to her husband again?

KATE hid the file folder in her family’s ancestral home before going to Jan’s parents’ place. She had to hide it somewhere far from everyone who must not see it in the meantime. She must keep the secret until the right opportunity to tell everyone comes. His family had been through a lot lately; she did not have the heart to add another problem.She dipped herself in the bathtub while enjoying a bottle of champagne, hoping that it would relax her mind and body. It was her only escape since she could not go somewhere far away to unwind.“This is one of the things that I miss about you.”Her gaze reverted to the door when she heard Jan’s voice. She found him leaning against the doorframe. His eyes were glistening with admiration as though she was the most beautiful woman in the world.“If you’re going to join me for a bath, please turn off the light.” She took a huge gulp of champagne.“And

KATE sipped her wine as she sat on the bench in the garden. She went there after putting her daughter to sleep. She thought some fresh air would help her feel sleepy, but it did not do much.“I told you, you should join me in bed from now on,” Jan said as he sat down beside her.“And then I’ll keep running back to Angelique before she wakes up in the morning? Nah.” She chugged down the remaining wine on her glass and put it down. “That set-up is hassle—”“Then perhaps you should teach her to sleep on her own….” He buried his face in her neck and sniffed her scent. “The bed feels so huge and lonely without you by my side.”Kate chuckled when she felt his tongue graze the sensitive flesh of her neck.“I didn’t know that your amnesia has this kind of—” He bit her neck. “Jan!”“Ssshhh…” He snaked his arm around he

SHE opened her eyes when she felt butterfly kisses showering her face. Kate smiled immediately when she saw it was Jan.“Good morning,” he said and kissed her deeply afterwards.Her brows furrowed when she realized that her husband was acting as though they did not argue last night. Was he too drunk last night and he did not know what he was doing? Did he already forget about it?“Tell me… have you forgotten what happened last night?”“Which of the two?” he countered.Kate pressed her lips firmly. Ah, it seemed that he did not forget about everything.Jan sat up and leaned against the headboard. He looked down at her, and his fingers started creating circles at her bosom. Kate closed her eyes and moaned softly. What he was doing was already arousing… for her.“I had a dream last night,” Jan said after a while.“About what?” She did not take her eyes off h

KATE stood by the foyer with her eyes fixed in the direction of the gate. She was waiting for Jan to come home. He left before sunset when she had just arrived from work. Jan did not mention where he would go, and she did not dare ask. But now, Kate’s anxiety was tearing her apart. She feared that her husband would not come back just like the last time.“Katherine?”She turned behind her and saw Jan’s mother walking in her direction.“Mom.” She managed to flash a smile.“What are you doing here, hmm?” Her mother-in-law caressed her arm.“I’m waiting for Jan, Mom.” Kate heaved a sigh and turned in the direction of the doorway again. “He left this afternoon and… I don’t know where he is.”“Jan told me he’s going to meet Winona.”She suddenly felt a pang of jealousy in her chest. Jan did not even remember his feelings for her. Wha
