Risk It All Chapter 28
Caesar was in the driver's seat, and I was in the passenger seat, and we've been leaving for a few minutes now. Tyler and Raine's car were ahead of us, and Caesar and I were following. "How long will it take to get to the resort?" I asked Caesar. Without looking at me, Caesar replied, "If traffic is light, it will take longer than an hour but less than two hours." I gave a nod. "Quite a long while." I commented, and Caesar just responded with a hum. After a few moments of silence, Caesar replied, "You can play some music." My head shook. "I prefer the silence." I've grown to prefer calm and quiet since becoming a writer. It's likely that I started using it in my daily life because that's what I needed whenever I had to write. I don't mind the noise, but I love it when it's quiet. "I'll keep quiet for the rest of the drive then," Caesar remarked. I cracked a smile. "But I don't mind having a conversation with you." "Then, what do you want us to talk about?" I raised my head,

"Hey! Brae!"Raine's yelling at me was what jolted me out of my trance.Raine sat alongside me, and I gave her a blank expression."What's going on? You seemed to be in deep thought. Did something happen?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.Did something happen? Yes, absolutely!I'm still having trouble processing what Caesar said. Even after we arrived at the resort, and even now that I'm inside the room Raine and Tyler reserved for me, my mind seems to be stuck on the talk Caesar and I had in his car.I have no idea what happened next or how we got to the resort. After Caesar's response, my mind was already racing with questions.I was already surprised that Rhea had broken up with Caesar, but the reason for this surprised me even more.I had no idea Caesar was in love with someone else.I believed he was in love with Rhea the entire time. It turns out he was in love with someone else.To think about it. Caesar has told me several times that he likes Rhea, but he has never expressed t

Caesar and I decided to walk around the resort and check out the various areas and services.We are staying at a destination resort, specifically a beach resort. It wasn't as large as the other resorts I have been to, but it wasn't nearly as crowded, which I like.Perhaps it's because the resort is quite new, having only opened two months ago, and is also located in a somewhat quiet place. Only a few tourists have discovered it and are interested in it.We can enjoy a variety of facilities and activities at the resort. Among these are beach massages and kayaking and paddle boarding, both of which I intend to do with Raine.After becoming weary of wandering about, I persuade Caesar to get us drinks before we settle into the resort's open garden.The open garden contains a wide range of tropical flowers and fruits, the vast majority of which I had never seen before.Caesar and I sat on an oak garden bench in the middle of the many species of orchids, smelling their various fragrances—fr

When I heard what Caesar said, my brow furrowed.I'll be surprised? Why? Just who is Caesar in love with that he won't tell me about? Is it really someone I know, as I suspected?The more questions that came to mind, the stranger I felt, and I'm still not sure why.I am certain that I am no longer in love with him. So I'm not sure why my heart was racing so rapidly. Nonetheless, I was able to keep my emotions under control.After a few moments of staring at him, I finally opened my mouth to voice my displeasure. "You can't say that now. You're just going to tell me that after getting me curious? No, I'm not going to let this day finish without you telling me who the woman is who stole your heart and held it in her palms for 10 years.""Brae…""No." I answered firmly, shaking my head. "You're not going to be able to avoid this conversation, Caesar. Because I'm even more determined to find out who she is."He let out a sigh. "Why do you want to know her?""Because I'm intrigued? If you'

When I noticed Caesar approaching me while putting his phone back in his pocket, I quickly stood up from the bench, clutching my drink tightly. "You're done?" When he was already in front of me, I asked him. He responded, "Yes." I nodded and merely muttered, "Okay," because I didn't know what else to say. Caesar opened his mouth and appeared to want to speak again, but I had already beaten him to it. "Can I go back to my room now? I was tired of strolling around the resort and wanted to lie down. You can stay if you want to." I said it quickly, despite my best efforts to smile. I'm just not sure if it's the smile Caesar saw in my face or a wry one. Caesar looked at me closely, as if he were trying to read my mind. I cursed quietly. I could barely keep my emotions in check at this point. Why does he have to keep staring at me like this? With the way Caesar was staring at me, I expected him to say something or ask me a question, so I was already planning how to avoid any question

Tyler’s POVAs I sat down on the bed and glanced at my manhood, my face was filled with dissatisfaction.I let out a long, frustrated sigh.I was nearly there. Raine and I were almost there!Why did Brae have to appear at that exact time? Besides, she obviously knew what Raine and I were up to when she saw me, but she chose to be inconsiderate and took Rhea with her.Now I'm here alone in this huge but lonely room, comforting my little Tyler and telling him that he still has a chance this evening."What the hell are you doing, you creep?"I turned to see where the voice was coming from, and there was Caesar standing in the middle of the room's now-widely opened door, staring at me with disgust."Have you gone insane?" Or is this your true self, a motherfucking pervert?" He said that, which made my ears tingle madly.I'd never been called a pervert in my life. No one, not even Raine!And because I was still dissatisfied and unhappy that Raine had left me hanging, my rage erupted immedi

I was glancing at the menu, but my attention was elsewhere. Because of how self-conscious I was, I couldn't even read the names of the dishes.Caesar was entirely to blame for this.He has been paying more attention to me since yesterday. Wherever I go, he goes, and whatever I do, he is always there to watch me, to the point that he seems like a creepy stalker. During dinner, he was so attentive to me that one could mistake him for my personal butler, or worse, my nanny.We haven't spoken about our conversation in the garden, though I'm sure he already knows I was aware of his love for me.I was honestly waiting for him to speak those words so I could reject him.Although I can tell he has affection for me, hearing it from him personally is more preferable.I don't want to come across as presuming things, even though it was apparent as day that he was in love with me, especially given how he acted towards me after what happened at the garden.And he's doing it again now, being overly

Sincerity can be seen not only in Caesar's eyes but also in his voice, which left me speechless for a moment, which was not what I had in mind when I questioned him about what he really felt for me.Despite the fact that I had just stated that I would reject him right away and that I could not be with him, I was unable to do so, which caused me to condemn myself silently.And it's because, while knowing what was coming, I couldn't help but be astonished.Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the tables would be turned and that I would have already fallen out of love with Caesar while he would have fallen in love with me.How did things come to be this way?"Didn't you already know I had feelings for you since yesterday? How come you still have that shocked expression on your face?" Caesar asked, chuckling slightly.Put yourself in my shoes and see if you don't have the same reaction as I did, I said quietly.I ignored what he said and instead replied, "Then, what do you want f

After reaching the park, I immediately went to the gazebo, not minding the curious stares that the people in the park were giving me because of how I was walking so fast and was frantically looking around, looking for Caesar just in case he hadn't reached the gazebo yet. Adding to that was how I looked. From my hair and make-up, down to the dress I was wearing—it all screams I just came from a wedding.It did not take me long to reach the gazebo, and just as I thought and hoped, Caesar was there, sitting on the stairs with his head down and staring at his shoes.I stopped my tracks when I was already in front of him, and with an intense gaze, I asked him in a shaky voice, "Is it true?"Caesar flinched a little before he slowly lifted his head and looked at me. "You're here," he murmured while staring at me, looking so surprised to see me in front of him.I did not pay attention to what he said and instead asked him again. "Is it true that you're leaving?"The surprise on his face was

"Are you alright?" Raine suddenly asked me, which made me flinch a little out of surprise.Looking at my own fingers, I raised my head to meet my cousin's questioning gaze. I smiled at her. "I should be the one asking you that. Are you alright? Do you not feel nervous?"Raine smiled back as she sat beside me. She was already wearing her fabulous and extravagant wedding gown, and she was done with her hair and makeup as well. She was all ready for her wedding, which was about to start in just twenty minutes."I would be lying if I'd say I am not nervous because I am. But the nervousness I am feeling cannot be compared to my excitement." Her eyes started twinkling. "I can't believe I am really getting married today! And it'll be with Tyler, which is something I have never even dreamed of before. I have always thought that the two of us would just remain as best friends. I never knew that we would end together like this."I smiled at what she said. Even I was shocked when I learned that

Shocked, surprised, bewildered, dumbfounded, flabbergasted—I could list all the adjectives I know, but they wouldn't be enough to describe how I felt.Caesar's lips are soft, and I could feel it very well. I could also feel how starving his mouth is for me to respond—from brushing my lips with his to gradually biting them, wanting me to open them and accept his tongue's fiery attacks.I don't remember anymore how long I just stayed still and let Caesar taste my lips as much as he wanted. But what I do remember is how my body reacted, gradually heating up as his hands that were on my cheeks moved to my neck, shoulders, and back before he slowly pulled me close to him to the point where I was already almost sitting on his lap.My heart, which was already beating fast, went even faster, but it wasn't because of nervousness anymore. It was because my body was slowly turning on.I clenched my hand tightly. My mind was telling me to push Caesar away, but my body did otherwise. Because inste

In front of us is the magical sight of bioluminescence plankton, which I have only seen in pictures.My eyes and mouth widened in amazement as I looked at the beautiful sight right in front of us."Oh my God! It is so beautiful!" I exclaimed in pure wonderment as I couldn't take my eyes off it."Do you want to come closer?" Caesar asked, to which I quickly answered with a repeated nod while smiling from ear to ear, causing Caesar to chuckle."Give me the bags then. I'll hold them for you," he said. And due to my excitement, I did not hesitate anymore to give him the bags I was holding. He then added, "You could also walk and swim on them if you want.""Nah. I'm not comfortable walking on them, and I think they wouldn't be comfortable with it either," I replied to him before I started walking closer to the plankton and stared at it in amazement once more.I can feel my eyes twinkling as I keep muttering the same word, 'wow'.I have never seen something as magical and enchanting as this
Risk It All Chapter 52.1
“Would you like to go somewhere with me tonight?” Caesar asked me, which took me aback for a little.After everything that had happened between us, that was the last question I expected him to ask. I assumed that despite our reconciliation, he would still distance himself a little from me, at least for a little while. But I guess I was wrong.Well, if he was able to be romantically involved with another woman just a few days after I rejected him, then I guess asking me to hang out is not that much of a big deal for him. And since it seems that he's okay with everything now, I don't see any reason why I should decline his invitation. This could also be a way for us to clear up even the tiniest awkwardness that will suddenly surround us from time to time, just like now. Also, it would be a good opportunity for me to ask what the real score is between him and Mara, and why did he deny that they were on a date when that was clearly what he was implying when I asked him yesterday?"Tell me

Caesar’s POV After the work-related call ended, I quickly went back to our table. My feet have been itching to get back to the three girls I was with. I was worried that the moment I left, they'd start fighting violently. I definitely doubt Brae would stoop that low, but I'm not sure about Raine, especially Mara, whom I've only recently met and am unfamiliar with her attitude. But one thing is certain about Mara: she is not the sweet and kind girl she tried to portray. The way she stared and the words she told Brae from the very first time they were introduced, I could already tell that she's trying to be someone she is not. So I can't really blame Brae for showing the same behavior to Mara. She was just letting her have a dose of her own medicine. As to why I was putting up with her, letting her get close to me as much as she could, and even accompanying her, it’s simply because I don’t want to be rude to her and also because I have a hidden agenda. This might sound cliche and som

I couldn't help but throw a couple of glances at Caesar and Mara's sides.They were sitting side by side, while I and Raine were sitting together. Mara, as usual, was being extra attentive towards Caesar again. I bet if Caesar allowed her, she would spoon-feed him.Thankfully, they haven’t gone there yet, or I might really end up throwing up all the food I ate due to disgust.“Is there a problem, Brae?” Mara asked when she suddenly looked at me and caught me stealing a glance at them. Caesar and Raine stopped eating to look at me in curiosity. “Or are you finding something funny about me to laugh at again?” Mara then added, her voice still filled with hostility directed not only towards me but only towards my Raine, who immediately turned her attention back to her food and ate again, acting as if she didn’t feel the animosity Mara has been giving the both of us.I sat straight and finally looked at her properly. I smile at her insincerely. “Look, Mara, I am sorry for offending you. I

"What are you doing here? I thought you planned to stay at home all day?" Caesar asked me, surprised but smiling. I gave Caesar a forced smile. I was suddenly confused and nervous, and my brain also seemed to go blank, which is why I couldn’t immediately come up with something to answer him. I remember telling him yesterday, after he dropped me off, that I had no intentions to leave and would simply stay at home. I also told him that Raine and I had no plans to go out, but now he saw me in the same mall as he and Mara, who were out on a date. I was still trying to construct a lie when Raine came to my rescue. "Ahm, hi, Caesar? I'm here if you haven't noticed." Caesar was surprised again, and it wasn't until then that he looked at Raine. He appeared to have just noticed Raine was with me. "Oh, Raine!" He exclaimed, startled. "I didn't recognize you." Raine lifted an eyebrow. "You noticed Brae even though we were both wrapped up, but you failed to recognize me? It's not very obvio

"Ahm, can you remind me again why we are doing this?" Raine asked me as we were secretly looking at Mara and Caesar, who were inside a boutique, looking at clothes while having a conversation with smiles on their faces.We are currently in a mall, sitting near the escalator and only a few steps away from the boutique where Caesar and Mara are."We are just purely doing this out of curiosity." I answered her in a weak voice without even looking at her because I didn't really separate my gaze from the two.Raine lifted one of her eyebrows as she stared at me. "We? You mean to say: out of your own curiosity?" She snarled before adding, "And we're not really sure if we're really just doing this because you're curious."I was still staring at Caesar and Mara when I answered Raine. "Be quiet, Mara. I didn't force you to come with me. You're the one who insists on coming because you just want to catch gossip.""Hey, that's such a mean thing to say. What are you saying that I just want to cat
