Chapter 2
I tried to turn my head away, but I was immediately startled when he pulled away from me and said, "Fine, I'll tell Arden what we did the other day." I widened my eyes at him.
"You won't say anything to him!" I said firmly.
"Fine... if you'll be nice to me." And he kissed my lips again, trailing down to my neck.
"Aiden, that's enough..."
"Hmm..." he replied and then he pulled down my tube dress that I had paired with a cardigan, and since I was wearing my own bra, I didn't need to put on another one.
"Damn, big and round. So soft." He massaged my breasts repeatedly while never taking his eyes off me. I averted my gaze, but he held my chin and our eyes met again.
I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from moaning as he leaned down and sucked on one of my breasts, gently biting it.
"Damn, I'm horny. Fucking horny," he said after satisfying himself with my breasts.
"If that's how you feel, why don't you go to your room and fuck your girl? I'm not your plaything!" I said, glaring at him.
"She's a slut, I don't want her."
"Then why did you bring her here if you don't like her?"
"Too many questions, Amber. Why? Are you jealous?" He smirked at me. I glared at him!
"No way!" I replied firmly, but I almost screamed when he suddenly pulled down my panties. Luckily, he covered my mouth.
"What the hell are you doing, Aiden?!" I tried to take my panties back, but he ignored me. He fixed my dress and ran his fingers through my hair using his own fingers. My heart couldn't stop pounding from what he was doing.
He pressed his lips against mine again and then pushed me out of the restroom. I was about to go back to retrieve my panties when I heard my husband's voice.
"Babe."
"B-Babe," I nervously replied to him and didn't wait for his response. I pulled him away from the restroom.
Damn! You know that feeling of being so exposed? That's exactly how I felt with my panties right between my thighs!
"I guess you don't have a choice but to stay at my house for now." He grinned like a devil while facing both Arden and me. I knew I was the only one who could sense his wickedness!
I held onto Arden's arm and got his attention. "Babe, maybe we can stay in a condo or hotel instead..." I glanced at Aiden, who raised an eyebrow.
"It would be embarrassing for your brother if we stay there. He won't have any private time if we're there." I emphasized every word.
"Bro, if you and your wife..." He glanced at me. "...choose to stay in a condo or hotel, both of you won't be able to oversee your house renovation! What if there are things you don't want them to include? It will buy you more time to move back."
Arden nodded in agreement with his twin's words. I was about to speak, but once again, this Devil interrupted me. "But if you stay in my house, at least one of you, either you or Amber..." He smirked after mentioning my name, which Arden didn't seem to notice.
I glared at him too! "...stays in my house, there will still be someone to look after your workers. And someone to check if they did the renovation properly or if there's anything missing."
To be honest, everything Aiden said was true. All of his suggestions would benefit us in our house renovation, but staying in his house was completely wrong!
Yesterday, our neighbor's house caught fire, and since our houses are so close, the flames reached half of our house by the time we arrived!
Arden held my hand and let out a sigh. "Babe, Aiden is right. Let's just stay at his house." I sighed.
What else could I do? When I looked at Aiden, who was standing right in front of us, it seemed like he was about to burst with joy. Damn!
I was cooking dinner when suddenly someone kissed my neck! I was so nervous and scared that my body trembled. He held my waist with his hands and kissed my nape.
My whole body trembled, and I couldn't sit still as he kissed my neck again, but this time, he sucked on my skin. I let out a moan from what he was doing.
"You like it, huh..." he whispered to me. Goosebumps formed all over my body as I heard his deep and soft voice. He slowly turned me to face him, and before I could say anything, he pressed his lips against mine.
My hands instinctively wrapped around his neck, and I pulled myself closer to him, kissing him back. Both of us were running out of breath as we released our lips from each other.
I slowly opened my eyes and my heart raced when I called out his name. "Aiden." He grinned at me from behind Arden, which made even my husband turn to look at him.
He leaned against the kitchen doorframe, crossing his arms over his chest.
Chapter 3He grinned at both Arden and me. "Oops. Sorry, lovers, I didn't mean to interrupt." And he laughed.Arden and Aiden moved away from me, still laughing and giving each other high-fives.I smiled at what I was witnessing. I was happy to see them back to their old bond. Well, they are twins after all. But then, a thought slowly crept back into my mind, the memory of the intense rivalry and almost killing each other-I closed my eyes tightly and held my forehead. I had a headache. "Babe?" I slowly opened my eyes and immediately saw Arden's concerned face. I hadn't even noticed that he had come close to me."Are you okay?" I smiled at him and nodded. I changed the topic."Food is ready, let's eat." And even though I was forcing myself since it was embarrassing for me, considering it was still Aiden's house, I called out to him to join us. "Aiden, let's eat!""Babe, maybe we can have it tomorrow? It's already seven PM!" I said to Arden. His secretary, Tiffany, called him and said
Chapter 4He started to kiss my left chest. My breathing became faster, and there was only one thing I wanted to happen. "Aiden.. Aiden, I want you now." I heard him chuckle and then he looked at me."Later, Baby." He planted another kiss on my stomach, down to my waist. I took a deep breath as he slowly pulled down my pajama pants, leaving me in just my underwear. He smirked and motioned for me to sit up.So I did. I raised both of my hands as he completely removed my t-shirt, followed by my bra. Now, I am almost naked in front of him, with only my underwear remaining, while he is still fully dressed.I approached him and then I held the hem of his t-shirt. He grinned at me, and then he raised both of his hands for me to remove his t-shirt.He stood up and positioned himself at the edge of the bed. I approached him and met his gaze. He nodded, so I slowly undid his belt, followed by the buttons, and then I lowered his zipper, letting his pants fall to the floor.I involuntarily swall
Chapter 5 And then, I handed him the tissue. "Aiden?!" I thought he was Arden! He was also wearing a suit and tie! They had similar builds, so sometimes when they had their backs turned, I couldn't tell if it was Arden or Aiden. "Psh!" He replied to me and took the tissue I handed to him. "What happened to you? Did you eat something bad?" I asked him and then I handed him the water. "Why do you care?!" He replied grumpily. He even glared at me! This guy I helped, and he has the audacity to be rude! "Grumpy! Peasant!" And I stormed out of the kitchen. I went to the living room to eat this leche flan. Fortunately, I saw someone selling it on the way home. I've been craving leche flan since earlier at the hospital. I was halfway through eating my leche flan when Aiden suddenly went to the living room. He still had a frown, but goodness, he looks cute when he's frowning! I want to pinch his nose and squeeze his cheeks. Damn! If only he wasn't grumpy and if only he didn't have suc
Chapter 6All I know is that Baby has grown big inside my tummy, and he will be a baby boy, our baby boy with Aiden.I've been living in Kuya's house for eight months now. Mommy and Daddy are in the USA, and they check on me through Skype. I don't want to stay at their house because I'll just be bored with the maids.I gently caressed my belly and talked to Baby. "How is Daddy doing? And your Uncle Arden?" I sighed.Two weeks after the fight between Arden and Aiden, and after they found out that I was pregnant, Aiden and Arden's mom came to visit me at Kuya's house."Amber, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that you and Aiden were already married in the USA. I'm sorry. If only I knew, things wouldn't have ended up like this. In reality, you could have accompanied Arden for his chemotherapy even without getting married to him. But he really loves you so much.""Tita, I also love Arden, just not in the same way as I love Aiden. I'm sorry if it had to come to the point where I got pregnant wit
Chapter 7"Bro, can you do me a favor?" I asked Aiden. He nodded. "Bro, can you invite Amberine to our party?" I quickly said to him. His forehead furrowed. It was clear that he didn't understand what I said. I sighed."What did you say, Aiden?" he asked, confused."I want you to invite Amberine to our birthday party," I repeated, this time slower and more clearly.He looked at me with a mix of surprise and disbelief. "You want me to invite Amberine to our party?"I nodded. "Yes, bro. I want her to be there. It's our birthday, and I think it's time to set aside all the misunderstandings and grudges. We're family, and I want her to be a part of our celebration."Aiden's expression softened, and he sighed. "Arden, I don't know if I can do that. It's still too painful for me to see her. I haven't moved on yet.""I understand, bro. But it's been months, and I believe it's time to heal and forgive. Let's give her a chance to be present and mend our broken relationship," I pleaded.Aiden re
Chapter 8Our conversation with Arden continued as we played in the pool. He shared stories about his friendship with Amberine, and I could tell how much he cared for her. It made me realize that I couldn't take her feelings lightly."I promise you, Arden, I won't play with her emotions," I assured him sincerely. "I care about her too, and I want to make her happy. I won't do anything to hurt her."Arden nodded, his expression softening. "Good. She deserves someone who will treat her right, someone who will love her unconditionally. If that's you, then I trust you to take care of her."The weight of Arden's words sank in, and I felt a sense of responsibility towards Amberine. I knew that she had been hurt in the past, and I wanted to be the one who would mend her broken heart.The following morning, I picked up Amberine and we headed to work together. It felt natural having her by my side, and we enjoyed each other's company during the car ride. We talked, laughed, and shared stories
Chapter 9But you know what, I'm still happy somehow because I apparently affect Amberine's emotions even though we don't spend time together or talk anymore. So, it means she's feeling something for me now.All I have to do is make her admit to me that she loves me too. Yes. She loves me too because I love her. Zayn and Arden, whom I was surprised to see, got out of my car."Hey idiots! Do you want to see Amber over there?" I was about to say something, but Arden called Amberine. Fuck! What did these guys do?The plan was for them to accompany me here to watch Amberine, find out what she's been up to, and see if there are other guys hovering around her that I don't know about.Amberine turned her head and gave Arden a small and fake smile. I sigh. This is all my fault. I led Amberine on, that's why she's sad now. Amberine approached their small gate, barely reaching her waist."Arden... what are you guys doing here?" Then her gaze shifted to Zayn.Damn it! I got jealous when she smil
Chapter 10"Son, Aiden, what's happening to you? You weren't like this before, what happened that you suddenly changed?" Mommy asked me. It was another night when I came home drunk.Well, I get drunk every night anyway. Work in the morning, get wasted at night until I crawl my way back home."And why didn't you go to Amber and Arden's wedding earlier? Amber is really beautiful with her wedding gown, it's a shame you didn't see it, and they are so sweet. Many people were saying earlier that they're a perfect couple, and everyone was saying that having a child would complete their perfect family.""Bullshit, Mom! Enough! I don't care about that goddamn wedding! Enough of that shit! I am not interested!" I didn't wait for Mom's response and went straight to my room. I hate talking back to Mom because I love and respect her so much, but I can't help it, especially when Amberine and Arden are the topic."Woah! Really, bro? You're moving next door? That's cool, at least we're neighbors," Ar
Special Chapter 6"Love is not love if you're not going to feel the pain. After all, it's not all about love. It's about Jiro and Kylie. No third parties." Mommy added. It felt like they were scolding Aria and me, or maybe it was just me, since they knew Aria's side."So why are we here?" I changed the topic. I want all of this to end so I can look for Kylie and Jiro. Who knows what they've done already. Fuck!"I want, rather we want, you and Aria to get married tonight." This time it's Daddy who spoke."What?!" I felt like my soul wanted to leave my body at what Daddy said."But Aria is not Tita Celine's daughter! If you want our families to become one, why don't you just marry me and Kylie?!""Kent, please, don't make this complicated! I love you, that's all that matters.""Stop being so desperate, Aria! I'm not going to marry you!""But I love you.""And I love Kylie!" I shouted at her, and suddenly I found myself sitting on the floor, stunned. It was Dad who hit me. I glared at hi
Special Chapter 5Every fvcking time she says that she's lifeless without Jiro, I want to shut her up. Shut her up until her lips are sore from my kisses, so she has no choice but to stay silent. It's so fvcking irritating! Especially when we both know that Jiro is cheating on her, and the worst part?! He's cheating on her with her step-sister!Sometimes, I even want to knock some sense into her head and make her realize that she doesn't really love Jiro. D amn! She's only fvcking blinded by her thoughts! Thoughts of being a hopeless romantic because Jiro is her first boyfriend. The guy who taught her how to love. Her first love, and now she hopes that Jiro will be her last too.But no, that will never fvcking happen. I love Kylie from the start, and she doesn't deserve Jiro at all. She doesn't deserve the pain and betrayal. I don't know Jiro's reason for doing all of this, but I'm sure Aria's reason is all about envy and jealousy.Aria was left behind. Her mom died, and her dad had n
Special Chapter 4The day of our departure arrived and Kylie still hadn't arrived! It was frustrating! Two weeks before we left for the USA, Kuya introduced me to her, even though I had been pestering him about her for a long time. Kuya was busy with school since he was graduating, and Kylie found out that she's only four years older than me. "See you soon, bro," Kuya said to me and gave me a hug.He moved away from me and answered a call on his phone, and when I looked at him, he was already in front of the van, talking to Mom. I sighed, took a few steps back so that what I was about to say to him wouldn't be overheard, and spoke to Kylie again."It's okay... don't cry there, I'll come back." I heard her continuous sobbing, and then she answered me."I'll miss you so much! I forgot that you're leaving today, it's Sam's birthday yesterday. I'm sorry..." And she started sobbing again."Kylie...""Kent...""Why are you crying there? I'll come back!" 'And when I come back, I'll make sure
Special Chapter 3She sat on the swing next to me and rested there until her breathing returned to normal, then she looked at me."They've been looking for you, Jiro and our parents! And here you are!" I didn't respond to her. "We were worried about you. You didn't go to school today because they thought you couldn't breathe properly this morning, and they assumed you were just in your room."I didn't answer again. "Are you feeling alright? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" He asked me gently."Why do you care?" I answered him coldly. I caught the fall of his face and the sadness in his eyes, I just looked away to get rid of the guilt I feel."It's not?! You're really my crush Baby Kent? Wee! You're going through puberty!" OA said Kylie.I made him suffer. It's the first Saturday of June and our first vacation. I am also in my first year of high school.Kuya Jiro is still proud when I told him my girl got my attention at school, but I didn't say anything that I had a crush on
Special Chapter 2And because he was strong with them, he was able to let them go. As for me, it's fine.. I don't care where we live as long as the important thing is that we are together. Wow! Wow!Earlier, I was focused on the anime, but now I can't seem to take my eyes off Kylie. I wonder where she lives? Could I ask Kuya to take me along when he visits her? Surely Kuya won't suspect that I want to see his girlfriend in person, right?Besides, I'm still young. It's probably just a crush, and I'm not going to snatch his girlfriend away from him. But she's older than me! Kuya is four years older than me, so if Kylie is his age, she's also four years older than me.Would a guy like someone younger than him? I heard Kuya's phone ringing non-stop. I immediately looked for it, and it turned out to be under his pillow, right behind me. I grabbed it, about to leave when I saw the caller ID.Kylie Rivera, BabeIt's Kuya's girlfriend! So I quickly went downstairs to give him his phone, prete
Special Chapter 1Nothing lasts forever. People come and go, and no one stays permanently. Just like her. I lit a candle as I sat beside her grave."Hey... It's been a while. How are you?" I asked, and as usual, a strong gust of wind was the response. I smiled as I reached for a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. I lit one and looked up at the clear blue sky."You know what, it's going to be a very long day for all of us. I really wish you were here with us. It's their wedding day, and I'm one of their best men..." There was no emotion in my voice as I spoke to her."I'm sure you're watching me right now, so... Do I look good in this suit and tie?" I took another puff of my cigarette."I hope so." I glanced at my wristwatch. "I'm sorry, but I need to go or I'll be late." I stood up and walked away from her grave.This is it! There's no turning back. I told myself as I looked at everyone. They were all busy with the wedding, and it was about to start any minute."I've been looking for yo
EndingI didn't know what to say to Aiden. I was happy and hurting at the same time. Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone! What's going to happen now? How am I going to go to school? How will I manage my daily routine with a broken left hand? And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital? Have you seen your hand? Why is it in a cast? Why didn't Manang Ameli
Chapter 31"These are Mr. Steinfield's collection." I nodded in response. Who wouldn't be speechless? It seemed like he was just buying toys.The only thing I remember was wearing a party dress and going to Baby Trigger's hotel. I drank wine, but I didn't like the taste. It was because of my annoyance towards the two women - urgh! I shouldn't have let their insults affect me, they weren't true anyway!Then it was my turn to be interviewed by Baby Trigger. My eyes widened when I remembered what he asked me and what I did. I swallowed hard, sat down on the spot, and covered myself with a blanket."I just took off my clothes in front of him, and he saw my chest. It was like an automatic reaction for me to cover my chest. I could feel the warmth on my cheeks, ears, and neck as I remembered my reaction to his massage on my chest. His lower lip dropped, and I could still feel his hand on my chest, massaging it even now.Is my contract with Mr. Steinfield? Does that mean I'm the one chosen b
Chapter 30"What are you doing, Kendall? Why are you pulling your hair?" Ero asked irritably as he took hold of my hand, which was tugging at my hair, and held it in his own."I really can't remember!" I complained in frustration. He tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me closer to him."Let's not dwell on it because what happened last night isn't that important," Ero said mischievously."What happened? Why don't you want to tell me?!" I asked inquisitively before the waiter arrived. He brought finger foods, fries, and nachos. He also brought a bottle of whiskey and..."Put the shake here," Ero instructed the waiter, who nodded and promptly placed the shake in front of me."Thanks," I said to the waiter, smiling at him. "You're welcome, ma'am," he replied with a smile before leaving. I felt Ero's hand tighten around my waist as he leaned closer to me."What did you order?" I immediately asked him as soon as the waiter left. He raised an eyebrow."Whiskey for me and a strawberry sh
