Bernie felt severe jealousy swell up in his chest when he saw and recognized the man who got out of the car and stopped in front of Mia's house. None other than Erik.When they were in high school, he didn't like Erik. Because apart from being his rival in the honor roll, he also has an inexplicable feeling of insecurity about him. And now that she has an idea of whom the new man Mia is flirting with. He has also found out what the insecurity he had for the man was for."I will not allow you to end up with that man forever, Mia!" that's what he said with a dangerous smile then glanced at the big house in front of him.The word "long" is not enough to describe how much waiting he did just to get Mia. For a long time that he always hovered next to her, he failed to get her sweet "yes". But he still did not lose hope.When he got to college, he was able to turn his attention to other women for a while. Many beautiful young women have passed by him since then. He was fed up with all that.
Immediately, Erik's eyebrows knit when he recognized the woman Aurora was talking to in the living room of their house."Erik, honey," Dolores greeted him as she was about to approach him but was quickly stopped when he spoke."So, I was right. You are the ones who told my parents the thing that I should have done. The reason for their sudden arrival in no time!”Erik didn't hide the anger in his voice anymore, even though he hadn't forgotten everything he and Mia had talked about earlier.“Erik!” Aurora scolded him as she stood up from the long sofa she was sitting on.Erik didn't answer after that. Instead, he just turned his back on them and went into his room. Mia and his suspicions are right. Dolores is the cause of all this. He became angrier about what he thought. But he still tried to control his emotions. He immediately took out the clothes he could wear and then entered the bathroom to take a shower."Where are you going?" was the question he heard from Aurora as she pushed
“Are you not going to listen to me, son? And you actually plan to leave this house? You're going to leave me and your father because of that woman?”It was Aurora as she watched him packing his and Mia's personal belongings.When Mia was done fitting her wedding dress, they had lunch, then did some grocery shopping, and then went home.And since he already knows that his mother doesn't like Mia, he decided not to include her in getting their personal belongings. Not only did she do that for his girlfriend but also for Aurora whom he also loves very much."Mom, I hope you understand that I only feel and experience this kind of love once," he said, trying not to look at Aurora.That's not because of any reason. No matter what happened, he loved his mother, and he didn't want to see the pain and suffering in her eyes."You used to be like that with Nadine, have you forgotten already?"Upon hearing that, Erik couldn't help but look back at his mother. That's when he looked into her eyes a
Despite everything, Mia had to admit even to herself that she felt happy every time she woke up with Erik still next to her. But even so, the happiness she feels is still not complete because she knows that someone is hurting. And that was none other than his mother.That same day, two days before their wedding, Erik announced that he needed to take care of something on his work. She knows that he is still on leave. But such circumstances cannot be avoided, especially because he is an architect.It was afternoon when she decided to go to the market to buy the necessary ingredients for the lunch she would cook. She wants to cook soup. And because of that Erik's favorite is what she wants to serve, Sinigang na Bangus.And because she wants to be home before nightfall, she left the house earlier. This time she rode a tricycle to speed up her job. But she didn't expect that in that place she would see the person she now avoids crossing paths with the most. None other than Aurora."Mia," s
JUST LIKE what she wanted to happen, she finished preparing dinner early. But even though she said she was busy preparing what they would eat for that night, her mind was still occupied with what happened between her and Aurora earlier."I’m so lucky with you, sweetheart," it was Erik.He gently hugged her from behind and planted a firm kiss on her cheek.Erik had just arrived then, and he continued in the kitchen. Something that caused a great thrill in Mia's heart."Take a shower and change your clothes. When you come out, the table will be ready," she said gazing at him.At that point, he kissed her again. But this time, on her lips."All right, I will be very quick," he said, releasing her after he followed what she wanted to happen.That dinner was fun. Mia saw how excited her boyfriend was as he happily ate the dinner she had worked so hard to prepare for him. And while Mia was doing that, she couldn't deny that somehow what happened earlier disappeared from her mind. The truth
"MIA, you smell so good."That's what she heard Erik whisper again as he began to undress her."Erik, ohhhh," Mia couldn't stop moaning again as Erik began to rub his hot tongue on the tip of her left breast."I'm crazy about you, sweetheart. I'm crazy about you," said Erik, raising his head again and kissing her on the lips.Just like she did earlier, she wrapped her arms around Erik's neck again so that she could respond to his hot kisses. After a few moments, she felt the young man push her again against the closed and large door and then he continued to what seemed to be an endless introduction to her nakedness.At that moment, Mia felt an intense lust that spread all over her body.She felt too much desire and that included when she wanted to taste all the blessings that Erik could give her.Erik rubbed both of her breasts hard. While at the same time, his finger gradually entered the cut of her womanhood which was already wet."My goodness, you're already wet," Erik said in a to
Mia is about to come but she has a feeling that Erik still doesn't plan to slow down. But despite the fear that is now gradually living in her chest. Mia remained unopposed in all events. Because that fear is familiar to her. And that was the fear she felt whenever Erik's method of claiming her intensified. That is the fear that fills her heart every time the approaching happiness she sees seems like she can no longer look at it. Because as she said, it's scary. She was afraid that she might not be able to handle the high degree of sensation and sensuality that could flow over and over again not only in her femininity but also in her whole body. But as she often said, she knew Erik's plan was not to stop. "I-I'm about to come," Mia whispered to let the young man know where she was at that moment. Erik just smiled at her and then pressed a simple kiss on her lips again. That's when that kiss threw Mia away again. But despite everything, she still felt when Erik acted. She brought
THAT was probably the beginning of the delicious deluge hitting Mia's femininity. And also in her whole being.Mia couldn't figure out what she should do at that moment. If she would scream or continued what she was doing. To hold back what should have been loud grunts. Until her restraint finally reached its peak. Because as usual, Erik gave her a strong reason to do that.Erik gave her a dangerous claim that literally made her eyes roll in ecstasy. Her vision was spinning and eventually, it became blurry. Because she could see nothing else but what seemed to be a white cloud of mixed desire, orgasm, and sensation.But despite all the audacity at that moment, it seemed like there was a war between the two of them. Mia still hasn't lost the feeling of true love attached to everything Erik does to her.With every delicious feeling that his movement brings to her, there is no doubt that she feels a lot of love. And that brings an overflowing joy to her heart.Erik pushed her legs harder
"ERIK? It’s you, right?"Nathaniel, finally sensing the moment, approached his boyfriend."I'm Nathaniel, Mia's brother," he said without hesitation, extending his hand toward Erik.At that moment, Mia looked up at her boyfriend's face. She could clearly see the quick change in Erik's aura as he accepted Nathaniel's handshake."Oh, would you believe it, I have a brother?" Mia said, stifling a laugh. "And here you are, getting jealous without even asking me?" she added, embracing Erik tightly.That was when Erik held Mia tightly in his arms, then let go and pressed his lips against hers without uttering a word. Disregarding the people who could see them, he made her feel the intense longing he had for her."Shall we go inside?" he said with a smile, his eyes sparkling.Mia happily nodded in agreement and waved at Erik's parents before entering.*****"We're actually traveling today to bring Mia back to Manila," Nathaniel said when they faced each other in the living room."Nate has his
"Why don't you call Mia so she'll have an idea about our arrival," Fidel, Erik's father, suggested.They were already on their way to the province. The journey would take eight to ten hours, and it was only four o'clock in the morning when they hit the road."I don't have her number, Pa. Honestly, I'm not sure if she changed her number or if her phone is always turned off. I've tried calling her several times, but still no response," Erik replied."Well, maybe it's better this way, without her knowing that you're coming. She'll be more surprised," his mother chimed in from the backseat of the car.*****"We have a problem, Mia," Nathaniel said, peering through the door of her room."A problem?" Mia asked her brother, her attention focused on packing her belongings. She was about to return to Manila, and Nathaniel, along with Aunt Ising and even Elena, would be accompanying her."I wasn't allowed to skip today. I'm sorry, but maybe we can leave after my last class, which should be afte
"You can't travel to the province right now, son. It's too far, it's an eight-hour journey, to be honest," said Aurora while they were on their way home.Now he knew where Mia was, and he didn't want to waste any more time. He was eagerly anticipating seeing her. He wanted to bring his future wife home so he could take care of her, especially in her current condition."But Ma, I can't wait until tomorrow. I want to see Mia," she replied, keeping her gaze fixed on the road."But Erik, why don't you rest for a while?" Fidel interjected. "And besides, your mother and I would like to accompany you, the two of us together," he added.Erik couldn't contain the joy that quickly filled his heart upon hearing his father's words. He couldn't hide his feelings as he responded."Really, Pa?" he asked, briefly turning to look at his father.He heard his father let out a soft laugh before answering, "Of course. We also want to be there to help you sort everything out.""And besides, it's not safe f
"E-ELENA?"As Aunt Ising recognized the woman who was busy hanging bedsheets in the back part of the shelter, Mia couldn't help but feel a quick throb in her chest. Then she looked up at her brother Nathaniel, questioning him with her eyes. And as he seemingly understood the meaning behind her gaze, he simply shrugged his shoulders."I-Ising?"The woman whom Aunt Ising called Elena responded."W-Who is she, Sister Cecilia?" Mia couldn't resist asking the accompanying nun."She is the woman who left you and your brother here in this shelter many years ago," Sister Cecilia answered her with a kind smile.Surprised or astonished?Mia couldn't determine which of the two dominant emotions prevailed in her heart.She also couldn't speak immediately because she remained transfixed, gazing at the woman.Just like what happened to her earlier with Nathaniel, she couldn't remember anything about this woman. But despite everything, a part of her heart couldn't deny that it suddenly felt an eager
"Ma'am Eden, someone is looking for you.”Bernie, their housemaid, Lita, said as she found her mother busy watering the plants in their garden in Manila."Who?" she asked, turning to them and quickly freezing upon recognizing him. "M-My son?" she stammered, dropping the hose and rushing towards him, embracing him tightly."M-Mom," he managed to say, returning the tight embrace. "I-I missed you so much," he added, tears streaming down his face.After a few moments, Eden led her inside their house. "Lita, prepare some food," she instructed, gently caressing his face."What happened, honey? Why did you run away?" she asked with concern when they were finally alone in the living room.Bernie immediately looked around their spacious home. "What about Dad? Where is he?" he asked, disappointed not to see him."He went grocery shopping. Since we heard about what you did, your father hasn't been at peace. So, I let him do what he wants to distract himself," her mother explained.Her mother's w
"Mama, forgive me if I have hurt and caused you pain," Erik pleaded, holding Aurora's hand gently.In response to his gesture, tears welled up in Aurora's eyes, streaming down her cheeks. "Please forgive me too, both your father and me," she replied, tapping his hand lightly.Erik smiled and nodded, understanding the depth of her words. He stood up and embraced his mother tightly. Then, he glanced at Fidel, who smiled back at him.Though it was a simple smile, Erik knew it carried profound meaning. In an instant, he felt a weight lifted off his chest, a burden he had been carrying for a long time. And he couldn't deny that it was because of his act of forgiveness towards his mother.Yes, he loved his parents dearly. And now, as a father himself, even though he and Mia had yet to welcome their child into the world, he had gained a deeper understanding of the true meaning of life. This was why he found it easy to comprehend and accept everything his mother had done and the choices she h
"Sometimes, I imagine that if Nana Rosita hadn't died, or if I had a sibling, maybe what happened to me wouldn't have occurred. I'm certain someone would have stood up for me," Mia shared as she finished recounting her story. The weight of her words quickly took effect, stirring a warmth in the corners of her eyes. Yet, despite her longing to let the tears flow and release her emotions, she managed to restrain herself. "What do you mean?" Nathaniel inquired, his gaze fixed upon her. She turned to face him, offering a bittersweet smile. "I'm just an adopted child, Nate." Gradually, she decided it was time to disclose the truth to him as well. After all, she had already confided in him the real reason for her presence there. "I was merely found, that's the truth," she began narrating her life story to Nathaniel. She recalled her first memories of being adopted and the journey that led her to Rosita, who had become a maternal figure in her life. "Are you all right, big brother?" sh
"It's a good thing Erik decided to return to work. Even if you say that our future brother-in-law is extravagantly wealthy, he still needs to work hard. After all, why let the opportunity to earn money go to waste? Right, Rosanna?" Dahlia remarked with a strong undertone. It had been two weeks since she was discharged from the hospital, and they came to visit her."Of course. By the way, Mia, how are you and your future in-laws doing?" Rosanna replied, briefly aligning herself with Dahlia's comment before facing her directly.They were assisting her in preparing the ingredients for the Kare-Kare she was cooking for lunch. Erik had told her that he would only be working a half-day at the office today and would continue with other tasks at home.Honestly, she couldn't understand why Erik had been overly attentive to her since she was discharged from the hospital. It seemed as if he already knew about her pregnancy. It wouldn't be far-fetched since she had been admitted for a few days an
Mia's senses awakened as she freely admired the nakedness of the man she was about to marry, slowly removing every article of clothing from his body. Erik's actions were incredibly pleasurable to behold, and in those moments, Mia felt abundantly blessed. Despite the countless women who had crossed this man's path, he had chosen her as his bride.Mia's heart fluttered at the thought. When she saw Erik move closer to kiss her, she welcomed it with unrestrained love and passion. She responded to Erik's kisses as if she were thirstier for him than ever before, losing herself completely in the process.Erik's gentle caress on her chest stirred something deep within Mia, evoking a soft moan from the depths of her throat. Their lips remained intertwined, while Erik's hand, nestled between her thighs, began to provide her with indescribable pleasure.Mia moaned once more when Erik's fingers skillfully explored her intimate flower, which was now drenched with desire. "You're soaked, Mia," that
