I felt more guilt as if it would swallow me up when he locked me in his arms. My tears seem to fall, they can't be stopped, and they can't be used up.

I just want to insert my face into the flesh of his chest.

His hand rubbed my back.

He calms me down.

He was breathing deeply.

When I felt better, we headed over to the sofa. He held my hands and squeezed them.

"You seem to like the taste of wine, Veronne," he said.

Even if he didn't say it, I knew he wanted to ask me, why do I drink? I stared at him, trying to tell him what's the truth through my eyes.

"I'm just sad, Marcov. I'm so sad. Really sad."

My tears fell on our hands.

"I rescued you from the life you had, Veronne. You have money now, you have a nice place to live, and you are no longer a slave to your own family." He looked up, thinking about something. He looked around for a moment before looking back at me. "What else is missing? Tell me, I'll give everything to make you okay. You want a car? Dress? What?!"

    I'm at the mall. I have finished buying the basic necessities for the condo. Even for my personal needs,I have already bought them. It used to be my dream to go to this place and buy the things I need and want, but now, somehow I can do them. I now have my own ATM. I was surprised because almost every week new money was added to my account. I was tired so I thought of eating ice cream at an ice cream parlor inside the mall. I had several bowls of Rocky Road Ice Cream. I was about to leave but Mitch saw me so she approached me. "Dating yourself?" she asked me, smiling. "Hmm. Not really. I just bought needs," I told her. "Ah, okay. By the way, are you informed who your partner is in our new project?"I shook my head. I don't know who my partner is because I didn't go in. "We have a new project? Who is my partner?""It's no other than your best enemy! It's that guy, Kalvis Greyford," Mitch told me. I held onto the chair. I almost spit out the ice cream I ate because of what I fo

    Under the sun, I'm holding tight to her wrist. Thinking about a possible way to survive made me sick in the head. Beads of sweat and tears began to roll down my face. I can hear my own breath. My heartbeat says that this is the end of me. I felt a strong pull. I was now on my knees and my palms were pushing on the floor. Still breathing fast and heavily, my tears are bouncing on the floor. I sobbed as my mind woke up to the fact that I was safe. My forehead slowly lowered until it kissed the floor. I swallowed, giving my silent hallelujah to the deity above who answered my plea. "Jesus, I thought it was the end of my life," I whispered. I heard a conversation behind me. Two people are yelling at each other. I inhaled. A few more moments before I exhaled. Even though my knees were shaking, I stood up. I faced the two people confronting and pointing to each other's faces. "I don't know if you're still human, Chontel. You can harm your own blood just because of the gossip you hear

    He called me to meet him here. Now I was standing at the beachside, looking on to the surface of the light kissed sea. The water was calm and the sound of the way became music to my ears.I waited for him because he got us something to drink. I told him that I am not in the mood to drink liquor, that's why he only bought juice for me and a canned beer for himself. "Hey, beautiful. Here's your fresh peach juice."I accepted the juice in the glass. He sat down so I sat next to him. I have no words to say to him since I lost on the track.He was wearing a beach short and a sleeveless top, and that made him look like a campus crush who visited a beach. Honestly, he became the center of attraction on this beach and it made my heart swell out of jealousy. I feel like I want to poke the eyes of the girls who have been staring at him for a while, as if they were imagining themselves being kiseed of even fucked by this man."What's with the long face?" he asked me. I didn't answer. I just tas

    There's a smile on my face, looking above the glittering sky. They seemed to be feeling happy for us. I was also very happy to see the full moon that got even brighter as the night got deeper. Daddy told me then that he was just on the moon, looking at me, and ready to sympathize with me in every season of my life. The beam of the moon had a different effect on me tonight because its light was immensely gorgeous, several times brighter compared to the first months and years of my life. Daddy must be very happy for me tonight, I can feel it. "When I was young, my grandmother told me, when she died, she would reach the sky. I asked her, how do I know that she did that? She told me to look up to the sky and find the brightest star. Just looking at the sky after the day she was buried, I saw the North Star. I don't even know if it's the brightest star, but it was the one that shone when I looked at the sky while crying. From that moment, I called the North Star as gramma, in remembranc

    The new morning has come again. When I faced it I didn't expect that the first thing I would experience would be good. No matter how much I want to avoid the things that bring bitterness in my life, I can't do such. Even if we tried so hard in a good way to only taste good things in life, there are people who will ruin our day. "I heard you had a beach date with my dad. How's it going?!""Mitch, let's go," I said to Mitch. I really want to avoid this man.Kalvis grabbed my arm so I couldn't move from where I was standing. Mitch just stared at me and let out a breath out of frustration. "I won't let you turn your back on me just like that. Is that how you are going to treat your future step son? Show your side that you deserve to enter daddy's life and be my step mom."I patted his hand that was holding my arm. "You know, I'm excited to be a parent, don't you? Because of my past I promised that I would be a good mother for my future children. Dear step son, don't treat your step mom

    -Marcov-The board applauded after I presented. Their smiles show the joy they have inside their hearts because I got a big partnership. My heart felt excited, I wanted to see Veronne and share this achievement with her. I'm sure that would be great. "Congratulations, Marcov, since then you have never failed the board!""You always impress us with your prowess as an entrepreneur and CEO, Marcov.""I'm just doing my part as the father of the Greyford Empire. I'm not the only one you should congratulate, but also yourselves! We worked hard together to achieve this, didn't we?! So congratulations to all of us! Let's live longer and make our name's range so wide!""Well, that's right. But you're the one who really fought to get the Steels' yes!""That's right!

    The beating of my heart was like a racing horse's uncertain contest. My eyes were focused only on a scene, on Veronne wearing a thin and slippery dress. Her smooth arms were revealed because only a small strap of her dress was attached to her shoulders. I swallowed as if excited to taste the juice in front of me. I even beat the butterfly that wants to suck nectar from a flower that has just bloomed. "Marcov," she called my name, as if she was singing in my ears, it was amazing. I didn't waste the opportunity anymore, I came closer to her and I immediately caressed her arms that were smooth and soft like peeled eggs with my palms. I ended up here at her condo because she said that she felt a strange body heat. I thought she had a fever, but the heat she felt was heat that only the heat of my body could remove. We looked at each other and she immediately pecked my lips. I haven't had sex in years so my knees almost shake even when we were just kissing. I know that I shouldn't do

    My heart is like a stage where a performance is held. It is full of designs that are pleasing to the eye. The colors indicate that it is full of love. Jobs that were difficult to do in the past have become easy now. The night Veronne and I had sex had a different effect on me and to the way I was living. It's like a capsule of energy vitamins that made me have an appetite for everything, to do any task that a day would bring."I appreciate your hard work for doing the best you can do for the company. Because of what you did, I will give you two days of rest at one of our resorts. Have a wonderful day there and remember to always be happy!"I can't count how many cheers came from the three teams who did their best just to make the change of designs inside the Greyford Empire Mall successful. Christmas season is fast approaching so we decided to fit the mall with it. It's only been two days since the design was changed, but our income immediately increased to more than 90 percent. "I

    The couple of years after we buried his body at the cemetery passed, but the pain was still here with me. All the days we spent together and the nights we shared with each other were nothing but beautiful memories of two hearts that were once one. My tears crossed my pale face. As my hand lifted the glass I was holding, I suddenly smiled, looking at the city lights from the veranda. “Why can't I get drunk? ”I asked myself. In the years Marcov was gone, I was totally lost and nowhere to be found. I know we have kids I must take care of, but my eyes can't stand looking at them. Because they exactly got their looks after their father, Marcov, the man I loved the most. Dorothy and Amirah never left me. They cleaned the veranda where I messed around. They took care of my kids. And they were keeping me from seeing the good side of life, even though I am blind. Someone made me look beside me. It's his older son who really looks like him. He was not staying here anymore but gave me time

    We decided to hold our quadruplet party here on some of the most authentic and beautiful beaches in the Philippines. Siargao is really the most visited place here. I heard from people who experienced this beautiful and mesmerizing paradise how accommodating the place is. I've read beautiful feedback from others. And their page got a ten-over-ten rating from the tourists. They sing happy birthdays to my children. I am totally out of appetite because of Margarette, the fake! After the short program, here comes the feast. A lot of food is placed on top of the tables. There are many Filipino delicacies on the menu. I just had puto, bibingka, and dinuguan. The sunset caught my attention. My heart is beating and aching as I am watching over it. Like the sunset, I am wishing that this agony I kept inside my heart would come to an end. My eyes are tired of shedding tears every night, and my mind is tired of having heavy thoughts over the days. I want everything to fall into place so I c

    -Veronne-Carrying four angels inside my womb wasn't easy. It was tiring and made my body function less effective. But every time I heard their small cries asking for their milk, their comforts made me realize that everything was all worth it.The pain in my back and private parts when I gave birth to them was truly a nerve-wracking experience. But again, their smiles and their little laughs helped me define myself as a real woman. My aunt and cousin never destroy our family anymore. But Margarette was a total mess in my life. She was acting kind and made me believe that all the things I'd heard a few months ago were real, even though they were all part of her schemes. “Baby!” Marcov uttered. It was a second after I put my sons into their cribs. I looked at the white wall while thinking about how I was going to make Marcov believe me. I brought this up to him before, but he said that it was not real. Kalvis was protecting his wife, and my husband was protecting his son. I could

    -Marcov- It's never easy to deal with a pregnant wife who is always changing her mind about everything. In addition to liking a certain thing, she would crave different things. She's been so picky right now, and what made me feel stupid was the weird thing she wanted me to do—not take a bath. Yes! It's really nasty, but I don't have a choice because if I go to the bathroom, I am only allowed to wash my face. “Marcov, come here! I want to smell you!” “Baby.” I was just calling her with my endearment for her, but her face was showing a disappointed face. I don't have another choice but to climb the bed and lay down with my head pillowing my hands. She then slowly laid down in my arms. She got closer to me and started to smell like she was smelling a cupcake that smelled so sweet. “Marcov. It's addictive!” “Baby, I really want to wash my body,” I said. “Ugh!” She suddenly punched my abdomen, and it made me run after my breath. It's impossible! I was really happy about my q

    Kalvis was challenging me. Well, I will make sure that soon he will know the dirty plan of that woman. I admit to myself that I told him to accept her and try to love her, but never to be fooled by her scheme. Marcov followed me to the veranda, where I was drinking wine. He hugged me, and it made me feel calm.“Why are you here, baby? The night is cold.” “Nothing, Marcov. I am just thinking about something.”“Care to share?” I escaped from his arms and faced him. He took a goblet and poured his own drink into it. “Nothing important. You will soon know about this. Just wait.”“Lita mentioned that my son came here. Was he bothering you again? Tell me if he does.”“It's just a little misunderstanding, Marcov. Don't worry about it.” “Are you sure?” “Certain.” I smiled widely to remove the worry in his heart. He touched my face, and the warmth of his palm pushed me to close my eyes. I held his hand and slowly grabbed his hand until my lips could kiss his palm. “Make sure that no

    Walking around inside the Greyford Empire made me feel indifferent. Before, I was just a hidden girlfriend of Marcov, but now I am treated so well and everyone praises me. “I knew it! I was really suspecting them to be lovers. But no one believes in me!”“Me too. I never doubted my suspicions! The way that Sir Marcov looks at Madame Veronne means the world!”“Correction, she seemed to be his universe!” “Hi, Madame Veronne! Good morning!” They greeted me. I smiled at them. The joy in their eyes seemed to be uncontrollable. They bowed to me many times. Before I arrived at the office, someone caught my attention. It's Kalvis. He just looked at me for a while and went in a separate direction.I was about to make another step when someone clapped behind me. It's Margarette. Her left brow was lifted while her eyes looked at me like she wanted to harm me. “Clap! Clap! Clap!” she said while clapping again. “You can't imagine that you really made it, right?” “Margarette, I did it! I did

    -Veronne-I went to my mom, and he went directly to the company. I sighed when I remembered what he did.“Honey? How's the honeymoon? I am sure that it went well! So, am I saying that I am going to have a grandchild?” I smiled while we were in each other's embrace. “Mommy, I am not ready for that. Marcov needs me to support him in his business. You know that,” I said. “Wait, speaking of Marcov. Where is he?”“He went straight to the company. He needs to settle something. You know that his people won't be doing their jobs well if he is not around. Oh, mom. I remembered what he did earlier. He reported someone who just looked at me, and he was arrested!” My mom was surprised. She covered her mouth before she burst into laughter. Like, what the fuck? Why was she like this?“Oh! God! That's impossible!”“It's possible, mom! What was impossible? The most impossible thing here was your reaction? There's no reason to be happy about someone who was arrested for looking at another man's wi

    -Marcov-We were both naked and had no space between our bodies. My member was working hard to reach her clit and make her moan like she wanted more of me. I couldn't afford to refuse the beauty that was possessed by her. She was beautiful but never like me, as she was underneath my body whispering the chants of love.“Oh, Marcov,” she said. I was looking at her face and trying to do my best to give her the best moment she will remember until the days when we were both old. My body pressed against hers. I slowly hung her right leg on my butt while digging to her depth.“Faster, Marcov! Faster!” “Uhhh.”I responded to her plea. I thrust faster than ever, feeling that the first legal sex we were sharing right now would never be compared before. This one feels so right, and this one would be a great memoir to keep in the bottom of our hearts. “Oh, Marcov! I can't take it anymore!” I pushed once, and she met my body. I could feel how her gate suffocated my dick. I am certain that she

    Every woman dreams of being paired with a man who's oftentimes read the best-selling book of all time. It was a wonderful feeling that you were walking above the aisle while the man of my life was waiting until I arrived at where he was standing up. His eyes were nailed on me while I was heading in his direction. “Honey, I don't know what to feel right now. I am going to cry out loud out the happiness and sadness mixed inside my heart. God, baby. You are really a grown-up woman now, and I lost the chance to look at you while growing up, achieving your academic goal, and living the life of a woman that you want.” I stopped for a while and looked at my mother, who was guiding me when we were both in front of my groom. “By any chance, mommy, I never imagined walking down the aisle with you. But today, you proved that a mother is a mother, a woman who will always stand up and walk by her flower. Thank you for returning to my life and walking with me heading to my groom.” Tears fell fr
