Anita Pov...
We arrived at the Hotel where Lauren is working and I'm anxious to meet her boss. Yesterday I was excited to come here but today I had a bad feeling stepping into this hotel was a mistake. I hope he is kind and we get along. I keep on sighing anxious anticipating the tick of the time.I'm used to being the boss, not the one who orders or serves other people. I have to do this not just because of Lauren and Alex, but for myself. I need to move forward to our future, even if it's at a slow pace as long I arrived at my destination."Good morning Sir Alejandro. She's the new secretary that I will train for the last week working with you." Lauren greeted when the boss arrived.I almost opened my mouth to say WHAT THE FUCK! SHIT! I never thought my boss to be this dangerously handsome. My folds down there are screaming like hell. Shit! He's a goddess sent from above!His looks and package were perfect! His eyebrows are thick as if they were intentionally sculpted, his thin lips are red that attract you to kiss, his blue eyes are beautiful like the ocean, and his gorgeous face and well-defined jawline will mistake him for an actor or king. His face has it all and his athletic figure was damn hot to ogle with. I've seen handsome men before but he is different, everything is envious and perfect.Those bulging muscles screaming under his expensive trousers leave your imagination. The hell! This is unfair, why is he so damn perfect standing in front of me! You'll definitely crave for him on top of you. Hmmp! I just woke up from fantasizing when Lauren gives a slight push at my side.I tried to swallow my saliva before speaking as my throat went dry with his salivating perfect looks. Shit! He even gives his sweetest smile showing his perfect white teeth that weaken your knees. Damn you! This is fucking unfair! I don't think I can handle him every day. He is a dangerous sight!"Good Morning Sir Alejandro, I'm Anita Paloma." I introduce myself as if I'm not affected by his goddamn goddess look! Damn him!"Pleased to meet you, Ms. Paloma!" His voice shot to my core weakening my knees. There's something in him that I felt I've already met him. I look at his eyes when he smiled showing his beautiful smile making me tremble. I lean a little to Lauren for support. His smile and stare tell something like a warning or I'm just imagining. I shook my head to what I'm thinking.For god sake Anita, calm yourself, he will be your boss and you will meet him every day. Don't make another set of mistakes. Try to resist his unresistible charm. I warned myself."Annie, the boss is kind, he's just strict when it comes to work. He's the type of person who doesn't bring personal issues at work, but he understands emergencies. He also doesn't like a messy office, he wants an organized shelf likewise with his staff. He often does impromptu when asking for the reports so you should be aware. He does that to make sure all the employees are working. He also wants the receptionist to be accommodating." Lauren explained when the boss entered his office. I'm not bothered by the work ethic and etc. I'm more bothered working with him. Other parts of myself scream to run away right now. That serves what I felt when I am standing in front of this hotel."I understand Lau." I managed to reply while battling with myself."And one more thing just serve him black coffee in the morning with a little sugar. I depend on his mood in the morning." She added."Since our boss is damn handsome, you're in charge of sending goodbye flowers to all his flings." She said while rolling her eyes."What! Why would I do that?" I retorted in disbelief."Well, let's say it's a fling, but those flings think they owned him." She uttered frowning and raising her eyebrows again."Oh! He's damn strict, but he has a dark side. That's funny! I thought personal life is out at work?" I retorted scorching my face."Yeah! And please, take care of yourself so you don't fall for his goddess body and good looks! Just his simple stare with a smile and you'll undress yourself unknowingly." She said jokingly while sticking her tongue out."Don't worry cousin, Alex is enough for me!" I said, pretending that I'm not damn attracted to him. This is a danger zone."Okay! You said it and I will hold onto that! And Annie just a few reminders, all the women he dated are just like you, though I didn't see any of them as the best candidate. He also hates demanding and clingy women. Discarding her woman isn't hard as changing his boxers every day. You're in-charge in shutting those clingy and slutty ones. As most of his colleagues know, he never uses his women twice!" She said, rolling her eyes again."So, I guess, I'm going to send break-up flowers for them!" My sarcastic question!She laughs loudly while answering. "You're funny Anita. It's up to you what to do because Sir Alejandro won't face them even if they squat out there and brawl all day." She added mastered the side job that I don't think I can handle."Damn him! He's flirting and then just turns his back when already caught up!" I groaned."You know, you can't stop those obsessive models, in the first place he already told them he hated commitment!" She explained. That explains his attitude then! Hates commitments. Poor women falling into his damn charm."So, she just bangs random women for pleasure!" I beamed cursing him. Lauren laugh going to the pantry.I want to tell Lau about what I feel, but I can't stop them from leaving the country. The more I think of his smile while staring at me makes me shiver. Had we already met? God, I'm starting to freak out now! Why do I feel like I owe him a lot?This strange feeling, those chilling smiles and heavy tone of his is not a coincidence or my imagination playing tricks on me. I should run now or I might be in trouble like them.Alejandro Pov... I'm surprised when Lauren introduces my new secretary. I almost scream to see her, I tried to mask how ecstatic I am not to spoil the day. When I woke up this morning it was a wonderful and inviting feeling. This must be the reason. The excitement is killing me that I called Rex unknowingly.She was busy drooling and didn't catch any trace of pleasure in my eyes. The way she looks at me I can see she is mesmerized with the looks everyone is crazy about me but sweet Lauren has her own way to interrupt! I didn't expect to see her here and most to be my secretary. What a small world, after a year of searching the universe for her it pays off to see her perfectly stunning and sexy. She's better than intoxicated. Though she was still fabulous that night!I saw her ogling at me and she's damn cute. I want to pull and kiss her, but I controlled myself. She seems bothered meeting my eyes but doesn't recognize me. It's an interesting start rather than being crazy looking aro
Anita Pov...I played with Alex when I got home before going to bed, but I can't sleep thinking of my boss. This weird feeling is making me anxious. I feel like my feet are slowly dipping into the pit of mud accepting this job and I can't get out! What should I do? I shouldn't accept this job in the first place but no turning back now. It's fucking dangerous. I shudder thinking about the worse scenario. I hope I can hold on a little longer before Lauren comes back. Work is not a problem to me but working with him is my biggest problem. Those smiles and stares still creep me like hell. Even her voice makes me weak and wants to submit eagerly which is odd. What's into him that I'm affected like this? I have to avoid staring at her face, especially his damn hypnotizing eyes. His eyes invite you to danger easily laced with magic to elope with. I don't want to dive for another hell of a mistake. I still need to face dad, it terrifies me to think how will he takes in what I went through y
Anita Pov...Ever since Lauren left me to work with this hot CEO, my life turns like a hurricane. I barely handle him. I always want to run away from him. His smile tells me something that makes me shiver. Every time his near me my mind travels somewhere else trying to figure out, who the hell is he. Is he a witch manipulating my mind and my body? I already think I'm crazy! I tried my very best not to look into his damn hypnotizing eyes. Every time he calls me to give a report or ask something, he always manages to touch the tip of my fingers which gives a thousand sparks enough to weaken your knees. Damn him! I cursed while slapping my face when a baritone voice startled me."Oh god! Sir Rex stop doing that! You almost give me a heart attack." I spat catching my breath, startled by his approach."Sorry Annie, why are you slapping your beautiful face anyway? You should stop that. By the way, is he in today?" He asks with his signature smirk. After two years of working with them, I al
Rex Pov...I'm not dumb not to see changes from Alejandro. Though it was our dream and wishes that he will settle down. I'm just not used to it yet. The Casanova finally fall!He doesn't often go to the bar he uses to and limits using women. He was really busy finding her after their escapade that night. I will tease him all the time as he didn't tell me she was the woman that night.I often see him smiling and laughing alone. If others will see him they might think he's insane but hell no! He was just dramatically falling in love maybe.Yesterday was something else! The worried look on his face, when Anita picks up the broken cup, says something else. Does she like her secretary now or he was just concerned? Rex, you might imagine things, your best friend hates commitment. Maybe he wants her under him! I reminded myself. Hey Rex, shouldn't you be happy with your best buddy settling down? I called Terry to give a piece of news that might interest him or shock him!"Hey Rex buddy! How
Anita Pov...I can't believe two years have already passed being her secretary which includes kicking every bitch leech. These annoying bitch leeches keep on chasing him like they owned him, but no one lasts a day because they are just a one-night stand to scratch his itch. Actually, it's not really hard to love Alejandro Smith, it's just that the payment of falling for him is a bitch scary. He's lovable in everything he possesses. I promised myself not to fall for his charm, but he already won the battle 'coz I can't stop myself from falling for him as well.I managed to stick myself on my desk every day to prevent myself from jumping on his lap. Just smelling his fresh scent in the morning makes me shiver itching to peek at him, but I managed not to look back and keep my eyes on the ground. Though it's really hard, my stupid body can't resist him, luckily my brain is still working. I know, no one will love me when they find out about that incident in my life four years ago. Until n
Alejandro Pov... She's working with me for two years, but never once did she look at me. Am I really nothing to her, does my charm doesn't affect her? My mind constantly asks. I was like a shadow passing in front of her everyday, even though I greet her sweetly with my captivating smile! I have nothing to say about her work. She works efficiently and cleanly. When I entered my office, the sweet aroma of hot black coffee is already there with all my itineraries. All documents must be signed and deadlines are arranged in order on my desk. The only thing she couldn't do to me was look me in the eye, so, I asked her to come to my office immediately to check if I'm really nothing to her. Success! I still remember her face last night and how she panicked looking at my face."Sir, you're calling me!" She asked after opening the door."Come here and lock the door!" That's what suddenly came out of my mouth.She looked surprised at what I said so she answered bravely with raised eyebrows and
Anita Pov...I woke up as if a truck had run through my whole body. I feel tired and exhausted out of energy breaking. My head is heavy and it's hazy. Oh my God!… I hissed looking around. I scratch my eyes to see clearly, the room is dark and I don't feel like I'm lying on my bed. I tried to stretch my hand to grab my phone. I wonder what time is it. I mouthed as I moved and the covering on my body falls off making me shiver a little. "What!" I blurted shock. Why am I still here in Sir Alejandro's office? Did I sleep here but why? I confusedly ask myself. Suddenly, what happened slowly flashed back: I cried heavily for the second time around, a man I didn't know claimed me again, but last night, I just felt like Deja Vu. Every caress he made on my body as well as how he pounded me like crazy reminds me of three years ago. But if he is the same man, what is he doing here? Manila is far from Cebu!While I'm asking a lot of questions I pick my clothes scattered on the floor and wear t
Alejandro Pov...I don't want to leave Anita, but I must get this bidding again. I want to prove to them, I can multiply any business in my hand at a young age. I'm not an incompetent businessman and I want that to slap in Mr. Paloma's damn face.I will never forget him! I don't care even if decades will pass by. I won't intimidate him as he did to me but I will make sure one of these days when our paths cross he will not mock and humiliate me like before but I must still say thank you, apart of me change because of that fucking unforgettable humiliation I had. Some of the businessmen I met joked about that and I just smiled at them.Maybe bad things happen to good people and bad happenings can bring out the best of you that you never know existed. That's the belief I am trying to slap in my face because I got Anita after that.It's been two months since that hot steamy night in my office with Anita yet she's still the same since she started working here. Still, it makes my mood sour
Samantha Pov... After 5 Years... Of all the things that happen in our family, we become stronger. We face everything with open hands as we know we are in this together. Just as our beautiful, unforgettable promise on our wedding day. In sickness and health. For poorer and richer, we did! Our families didn't leave us as well. We help each other and achieve each of our dreams. I thought the family I dreamed of would never happen. Fixing what is broken isn't easy, especially if trust is already ruined. You can trust again, but it wasn't the same. Doubts are always there knocking you off. Triggering your mind to suspect! I live my life believing he loves me to keep doubts away, though he shows his undying love every day so do I. We always look like a newlywed couple or a teenager who is just in love. Giggling when we see our crush. That's what we both feel. It's been 5 years but our love isn't fading. As the days, months, and years passed by, our love blossomed unexpectedly. My brothe
After the wedding, we both decided to travel locally for a month for our honeymoon since she was already almost four months pregnant with our twins again. For our first destination, I chose to go to Baguio, then Bulacan before Subic for our honeymoon. After almost two weeks, we plan to go to Boracay and back to Palawan. Then I suggested the last week staying in the Manila Marriott Hotel. Samantha supported us all the way and gave some suggestions. I did not allow her to return to Australia and New York and asked her best friend to take care of her business there while she was away. I will let her travel when she has already given birth and is capable of moving comfortably. At the moment, I'm still in bliss that I want to be with them and see them anytime, especially my lovely wife, who amazes me all the time.We are here today at the Baguio Country Club and this is our second day. It's nice to go for a walk, from around five pm onwards, feeling the chilly breeze and fresh smell of
Rex Pov...Now that the long-awaited day came, I felt nervous and my chest was going to explode, fidgeting. Samantha and I are getting married today, but I'm nervous and worried. Three days before our wedding, she lived with her parents, saying that we had to be apart for three days before the said wedding day.In the three days that I was not with her, I could not sleep well or eat. I miss her cooking and how caring she was. You just have to wait a few hours, Rex, you will see her. I mumbled to myself. My other two friends did nothing but laugh at me as well as my brother!"Buddy, just relax! You will see her in a while before you don't want to see her!" He mocked, jokingly."That was before!" I uttered, embarrassed."Then what about now, if that was only before?" He asked back."Because now, I love her and don't want to lose her again." I responded shamelessly, seriously looking into his eyes.He was my best friend but Samantha was her only sister. He has the right to ask! He smirk
Rex Pov...Our upcoming wedding is taking a toll on us but in a nice way. I can't be happier reaching this stage with her after the roller coaster incidents.Maybe if Samantha hadn't been persistent, we wouldn't have had a happy ending but only pain until our twins grew up. I always say no, not because of my pride, but because I didn't pay attention. But with everything that has passed in our lives, we have learned to appreciate each other before everything it's too late. I'm always scared she might get sick or hurt herself.Our wedding is next month and I can't wait to call her Mrs. Jimenez.Samantha is three months pregnant and we only spent one month preparing for our wedding. She was already five months pregnant on the very day of our wedding, so the balloon design of her wedding gown looked even better. Both of our parents didn't want us to get married after she gave birth. They want us to get married before her belly grows. During our one-month preparation, we didn't have any
Rex Pov...I frown when memories of Coleen are back in my head. I really can't get her out of my life. She was once a part of my life, hiding from Samantha. I met her at a meeting with my client who is a regular customer at the Diner's Pub he owns. After a few meetings, I courted her. My courtship and our date lasted for three months. Since we share the same hobby, it is not difficult to get along. I thought I really, fell in love with her but I just now realized that I didn't love her like I loved Samantha, who I hid from my heart for a long time because of Coleen. My love and desire awakened the moment I saw her with someone else. I'm very angry because of jealousy, which I don't want to accept. I smiled again at my stupidity. I already have her, but I keep on pushing her away. I also loved Coleen but I love Samantha more. Now, I can get justice for her but a little sorry for her, since my heart has always been in love with my best friend's younger sister. I chuckled, sticking my
Rex Pov...My hunch was right. We were asleep and mom woke us up. They brought a lot of fruits and vegetables so that Samantha would have something nutritious to eat. I sighed, staring at the fruit they brought. I am not starving my wife! She asked permission to take the twins - oh no, actually, she is informing me that they took the twins and they will return when Samantha gives birth."That's not possible, mom. I've only been with them for a month, why take them away?" I protested."Rex your priority is Sam. It's not easy to get pregnant with mischievous children. When she gives birth, make twins again." She responded."Mom!" I blurted out in disbelief."What? I want grandchildren." She snorted again. Samantha was already red as a tomato."You just said it's hard to get pregnant and then you want to get her pregnant again." I protested again."Why, don't you want to have a lot of children? Isn't that what you always wanted to have a big family?" Mom sneered. Samantha's eyes widened,
After our successful get-together dinner, I left them enjoying themselves as I needed to go home. I already miss Samantha. I was in the middle of the road when Alejandro called."Hello Alejandro?" I gleamed."Where are you? Dad was supposed to bring the kids back but couldn't contact Samantha." He said. I felt nervous, clutching my chest. I'm allergic to these kinds of calls! My heart wants to jump out freakingly, nervous whilst my brain becomes stagnant and can't think quickly."What?" I exclaimed, nervous."I'm here at your house right now. See you later. I told dad to keep the kids for a while." He responded."Okay. I'm on my way, bro." I answered nervously. I was so happy just now, but now my heart feels like it's going to explode with fear and nervousness when she leaves me again. I shook that thing out of my mind, driving faster.After arriving at the condo, I took a long step to get inside. I searched the entire condo but there was no Samantha. The food I cooked was also untouc
Rex Pov...I went to work with a broad smile and energetic. Since my parents took the children, I left Samantha still sleeping. Before I left the condo I cooked her favorite food and will fetch her later to go home and see our kids. Those little munchkins I miss them so much! I hope Uncle James brings the twins back and will not ask for an extension. I miss them running towards me when I come home. Those are the precious moments I can't exchange with anything. I want to cherish these little moments while they can still be cuddled. I'm growing old scared I wouldn't be there when they needed me the most. Now, that I have Samantha beside me, I can't contain my happiness engulfing me. I wish I had been true to myself before. Loving Coleen was just my scapegoat to run away from her since she was too young for me! I am still over the moon at the sweet feeling of being loved and to love her again. I loved Coleen before but it wasn't this happy and the love I had for Samantha was not reall
Rex Pov...Uncle James took Xander and Alexa home. Mommy argued that they should be the first to take my children since they had just arrived. While they were arguing on the rooftop of the restaurant, I told Samantha to go home. Fuck! I miss her so much. I didn't know how much I missed her until that kiss I gave her. I was very anxious to pamper her again after three months when something happened in my condo. Her action at home two weeks ago in the study room was out of the box, but I enjoyed it. She really hides something obscene about herself. But it's okay as long as she does that thing only for me.I'm excited to reach home as I drive so fast. I wanted to go home but suddenly I changed my mind. I turned the car around and took her to my condo. No one is there and no one will bother us. I will mark what is mine, this time with love. I smiled and looked at her who was taking a nap. Our Hills View Paradise Restaurant is in Tagaytay, so the trip back to Manila is a bit heavy. Afte
