Aria's so precious! And by the way, I meant every word I said in this chapter! Sometimes, we think too lowly of our bodies, but we fail to realize that these are just normal characteristics of human beings.
Kian took a sip of water as he watched Aria put on sunscreen on herself. It was already a hot day, but he felt even hotter while looking at her.She had already put on sunscreen on her arms and legs, but she was having a hard time placing sunscreen on her back.Kian let go of the water he was holding and cleared his throat. “Do you—do you want me to help?” he warily asked.Aria turned back to him. “If you don’t mind,” she said, handing him the sunscreen.‘I don’t mind at all,’ he said in his mind.He took the sunscreen and squeezed some into his hands. He slathered it on his hands, making sure that it was warm enough before placing it on her skin.Aria softly gasped when she felt Kian’s strong and warm hands massaging her back. She clenched her fists together to restrain the sounds that threatened to escape her lips.Kian gulped as he felt Aria’s smooth skin under his palm. He had gone far deeper with other women. But, just with a little bit of contact with Aria, he feels like he’s goi
After saying those words, Cedric fled the scene left the four of them alone. His mind was in shambles, and he felt like everything he had known were all just lies. He had loved Scarlett with all of his heart when they were young, and he was starting to question if their love was genuine back then too. "Cedric!" Scarlett called after him, but he didn't look back. She called for his name once more before attempting to run after him; however, Kian held onto her arm and pulled her back. "Stop, Scarlett," he said. "You've done enough." Scarlett tried moving away from his grip. "What are you talking about? I need to run after him. Let go," she said through gritted teeth. "Scarlett!" Kian exclaimed in such a loud voice that all of them were shocked. He was usually the happy-go-lucky person that took everything as a joke, but right now, he looks so serious that it's quite frightening. It's really true that it's most scary when an unserious person suddenly becomes angry. "Stop fuckin
The beach trip had finally come to an end. Aria hasn’t had the chance to speak to both Kian and Cedric since she decided to ride with Adriel, Zeth, and Zenon instead.Granted, the two of them had asked her to go with them, but Aria turned them both down since she still felt very confused about their situation.She wasn’t dense. She could feel that something had changed in both of their relationships. But then again, she doesn’t want to jump to conclusions.Who knows? All of these things may just be a figment of her imagination.“Are you alright, aunt Aria?” Zenon asked with wide and innocent eyes.Aria snapped out of her thoughts and focused her attention on Zenon. She was staying at the backseat with the little kid, and he had been talking about her regarding the different types of dinosaurs. She must have slipped into a trance when he started talking about a Jaxartosaurus.She smiled at him and stroked his hair. “I’m fine, little one. I was just thinking about something for a little
Zeth entered the office with a huge smile on his face. Despite being restless because of last night's sexual activities, he can't help but feel energized because of what happened. Adriel truly is his greatest source of strength. Being with her even triumphed over sleep and rest. Jo entered the office not long after Zeth came in. She paused in her tracks when she saw her boss leisurely sipping from his cup of coffee with a smile on his face. "What's with you?" she asked as she placed some papers down on the table. "Hmm?" Zeth hummed dreamily. "Nothing. I'm just happy." "Is it because of Adriel?" she asked. "You already know the answer to that. It's always because of Adriel," he proudly said, sitting down on his chair. Jo playfully rolled her eyes at Zeth's cheekiness. However, she feels happy that the once cold young master has now turned into a warm and loving person. Adriel and Zenon truly are the best things that ever happened to his life. "What's with these papers?" Zeth
Aria didn’t get any sleep last night because she was busy thinking about Zenon’s question. That kid definitely knows how to ask some deep questions.“Who do you like more?” kept replaying in her mind.“You look like a zombie,” Adriel greeted as soon as she saw Aria.Aria jokingly glared up at her and ruffled her already messy hair. “Gee, thanks. Just what I needed in this fine morning,” she sarcastically said.Adriel chuckled. “You look like you didn’t get any sleep. Boy problems?” she asked.Aria nodded her head. “I don’t want to think about it anymore.”“Then, don’t!” Adriel said. “Just let it flow, Aria.”“If I could do just that, then I would have done so ages ago!” she exasperatedly said. “But I can’t! I feel like I have to settle this as soon as possible.Adriel sighed. “Love takes time, Aria. You don’t have to feel rushed. Besides, have they confessed to you already?““That’s one more thing that I’m thinking about! What if all of these are just a figment of my imagination, and
Zeth slapped himself awake for the twentieth time today. It was early in the morning, and yet he was feeling so restless already. He didn’t even get to talk with Adriel last night since he was so sleepy. He’s usually energetic and snappy; however, these days, he feels like he always just wants to lie down in bed. He doesn’t know whether it’s because of Jo’s absence, but he pointed that out to be the culprit. Ever since she left three days ago and Sara was the only one who could help him, he’s seen a change in his sleeping habits since then. “Sara,” he called for his new assistant. Sara came into the room with a sweet smile on her face. She was yet again wearing another revealing outfit, but Zeth was too tired to reprimand her. “Yes, sir?” she asked, walking over to his chair. “Bring me another cup of coffee,” he said. Sara smirked. “Are you sure, sir? This is your third cup of coffee, and it’s only morning.” “Don’t ask any more questions,” he shook his head. “Just bring it to m
Aria ran off as soon as she confirmed that it was indeed Kian that she saw—her urge to go to the bathroom completely being forgotten. She ran along Adriel on the way, and she seemed to be having the same expression as Aria. The two of them didn’t even have to speak to know that something wasn’t right. “Let’s go?” Adriel said. Aria nodded her head and followed Adriel out of the club. The two of them went to Adriel’s car, and they started driving to a nearby drive-thru. They ordered some fattening fast food and settled on the open parking lot with the windows open. Adriel sighed, causing Aria to stop eating her ice cream. “What happened?” she asked. Adriel also sighed. “Zeth didn’t call me because he’s worried. He just called me to tell me that he’s going home late—again. And I also heard his new assistant’s voice over the phone. I feel like she was near him at that time since her voice was so close.” She leaned back in her seat. “I told myself that I would calm myself down afte
Aria shook her hands in nervousness. She was standing right outside Cedric's and Kian's apartment, ready to bare her soul in front of the person that she liked. She decided that it was better to get it out of her chest than to let her feelings rot inside her heart. She thought about this a lot, and she decided that taking the risk and being rejected would be more bearable than having to hide her feelings for god knows how long. She also decided to confront him about what she saw in the club and if it's true that he had changed his past habits because of her. She raised her fist up to knock on the door, but it suddenly opened before her skin could even make contact with the wood. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Cedric standing right in front of her. Cedric froze when he saw Aria with her fist up in the air. Aria cleared her throat and brought her fist down. She looked away from his eyes and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Umm, sorry. Wrong door," she was about to l
"Ooh la la," Adriel said as he ogled the man in front of her. Aria sat down next to her and also couldn't take away her eyes from the new gardener who was tending to grandpa Earl's garden. They had been in the villa for about a week now, and they were planning on going back to the city together in the next weeks or so. Right now, they were having afternoon tea on the porch. Adriel had already sent her kids to take a nap, so she invited Aria to eat outside on the grass since the weather was lovely. However, they were in for a surprising treat when they saw the new gardener that grandpa Earl had hired tending to the plants and grass. He was probably a 40-year-old male, and he seriously had lumberjack vibes. You know those types of men that you see in forests chopping wood up? Tall, muscular, and mature. It also doesn't help the fact that he's wearing nothing but a thin, white shirt that has already been drenched by his sweat, causing it to look transparent under the soft afternoon
"Baby, my baby," Adriel muttered in her sleep, her head moving from side to side. Zeth quickly opened his eyes to see what Adriel was talking about. He let out a sigh when she appears to be having a nightmare. "Angel," he gently said, patting her cheek softly. "Angel, wake up. You're having a nightmare.""No, don't take my baby away from me," she continued fighting him off. Zeth placed a chaste kiss on her lips, causing her to calm down. She opened her eyes slowly and was met with Zeth's reassuring face. Her eyes started tearing up, probably from all the tiredness and the hormones. "Where's our daughter?" she asked. Zeth smiled. "Our daughter is fine, angel. She's in the room next to ours," he said. Adriel finally let out a sigh of relief. In her dreams, she couldn't find her daughter, so when she woke up, she thought that everything would be the same. She buried her face in Zeth's face and inhaled his comforting scent. "I'm so happy," she said. "We have another baby in our live
"Oh my gosh," Aria exclaimed as soon as they arrived in the vicinity of the Zhang mansion. It was her first time coming here, and she couldn't believe that Kian hid the fact that they owned this kind of home from her. She knew that his family was rich, but she never even imagined that they were rich RICH. Kian scratched the back of his head, looking around the house where he spent his childhood in. All the good and bad memories came rushing to his mind—mostly the bad memories, though. Because of his family, he had quite a hard time growing up. If it weren't for Cedric, who was always with him when they were younger, then he reckoned that he must have gone insane. It's a good thing that his parents don't meddle with their lives anymore. As they grew up, they just started caring less and less. For Kian, that was better, though. At least now, he can choose the life he wants to live. "You okay?" Aria asked, looping her arm around his. Kian snapped out of his thoughts and tried his be
"Kian, Kian," Aria shook Kian awake as she looked at her phone in awe. Zeth had just sent her a text message, saying that Adriel had already given birth to their daughter, and there's nothing she wanted more but to travel to the province to see the precious little girl herself. She clicked her tongue as she shook awake her lover. "Wake up, Kian," she exasperatedly said. "Baby," she tried calling out her sweet nickname for him, but to no avail. She sighed and decided to bring out her final weapon. "We're not going to have sex for an entire month if you don't wake up right now."Like a magic spell, Kian woke up from his slumber and looked at Aria with wide eyes. "No sex? What? What's happening? What time is it?" he said, still drunk from his sleep. Aria smiled and held onto his arm, pulling him to stand up from the bed. "Let's go!" she excitedly said. "Where are we going, Aria?" He looked at the bedside clock. "It's literally 4 AM in the morning! Where do you want to go in this ung
Adriel rolled down the car window to let the fresh gush of wind run through her hair. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of the sharp grass and the fresh flowers. She was already eight months pregnant, and it's been getting harder and harder to manage her pregnancy each day since her due date was getting nearer. She's been feeling more nauseous in the city with all the pollution, so Zeth decided for them to stay in the province while waiting for her due date. Zeth chuckled as he watched his adorable wife smiling widely at the green scenery. Even if he'll be swamped with work the second he comes back to the city, he knows that it's better for them to stay here for the sake of Adriel's health. He's willing to do anything just to always make her feel at ease. "Aren't you feeling dizzy, angel?" he asked. Adriel looked back at him and shook her head. "No. The air over here is so fresh that I don't feel nauseous at all. Thank you for bringing me here despite your busy schedul
"Why are you so nervous?" Kian asked, looking at Zeth, who was pacing back and forth in the hotel room. "Fuck off," he said. Kian raised his hands up in surrender. "Damn. You don't have to be so sensitive."Zeth groaned and attempted to run his fingers through his hair. However, when he realized that his hair had already been styled, he quickly placed his hand down and continued pacing back and forth."You're making me dizzy, man. Sit down," Kian exclaimed. "Where's Cedric when you need him?" Zeth asked under his breath. "Hey," Kian said in an offended voice. "Your best man is right here!" he exclaimed, pertaining to himself. "Don't look for another person when I'm literally right here.""Yeah. You were my second option," Zeth deadpanned. "If Cedric didn't have to leave too early, then he would have been my best man."Kian rolled his eyes. "Whatever, man. You're stuck with me. And because you said that, I'm not going to comfort you. Instead, I'm going over to the bride's room upst
"How are you doing over there, bro? Have you been to the Eiffel Tower yet?" Cedric shook his head. "Not yet. I've never really gotten the chance to tour around," he said. Kian's eyes widened in surprise. "What? But you've been there for a week. You should go around the city when you have the time!" Cedric scratched the back of his head. "It's just that—It's hard adjusting to the atmosphere here. Besides, I took care of my papers for the company transfer, and I also finished furnishing my apartment. I didn't have any time to tour around." Kian sighed. "Are you deliberately staying in your own apartment?" "No," Cedric sheepishly said. "You're lying," Kian said. "I know that you're confining yourself in your own little space once again. There's no use in lying to me, bro. I know you like I know the back of my hand." Cedric clicked his tongue. "There's nothing interesting around here!" "You haven't even tried going out yet. How would you even know?" he asked. "Come on," Kian urge
“Let’s sleep,” Aria said after a heavy make-out session.“What?” Kian absentmindedly said, still dazed from the heated kiss they shared. Aria giggled. “I’m tired, honey. Let’s sleep,” she said, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.After a few seconds, the rise and fall of her chest started getting deeper—an indication that she had already fallen asleep. Kian looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “Aria,” he said.As expected, Aria had already fallen asleep. He closed his eyes as he placed one of his hands over his crotch. He felt his hardening member underneath his think cotton shorts. He let out a sigh of disbleief before pinching himself. "Calm down," he whispered to himself. He looked at Aria, who was peacefully sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but bite his lips. It has been about two months since they started their relationship, and everything has been great since then. Sure, they bicker from time to time, but it's really nothing serious.
“Adriel Summers,” he smiled up at her. Adriel looked down on her lover, still unbelieving of the current situation. Of course, she had imagined this a thousand times in her head. Being married to Zeth and having the opportunity to stay with him until the end of their lives was one of her greatest desires. Now that the moment had come, she couldn't help but be emotional. “You have changed my life in the best way possible, and I don’t think I can live without you anymore," Zeth said. “I love you so much,” tears started welling up in his eyes. “I see you every single day, and yet I still feel like I miss you. I love you so so much, but I still feel like I haven’t loved you enough. So, allow me to love you for the rest of our lives. I may not be able to promise a perfect relationship, but what I can promise is perfect love.” “Will you marry me?” he finally asked the question. It was a brief statement, but nonetheless, it was perfect. Tears started streaming down Adriel’s face the se
