Milena arrived at work the following day just to meet one of the greatest shocks of her life.She couldn’t say this was the greatest shock because she’s had worse but this could be classified as one of them.Her boss was her one-night-stand!At first,she wanted to pretend not to know him because he didn’t talk about it either.She resumed work as his secretary and even though she was breaking apart inside,she tried to survive the first day.She thought about her options,she barely had any.She couldn’t quit and start job hunting all over again.Once the Hawk Gang finds out that she’s jobless,they were going to come for her.So she had to hold onto this job.With how great the pay was,she had already calculated paying off her debt in a year.She couldn’t go back to square one.She had to work here even if she didn’t know how to face her boss who had taken her virginity.At the end of work that day,Jason finally addressed the issue.“What happened between us should be kept in the past.I do
*RENEE*I sighed, caught in the space between wakefulness and sleep.I opened my eyes and shut them back because my head was spinning.It felt as if I was floating on clouds.Holding my head,I slowly sat up.It took me a full minute to orient myself.The sight of a dark blanket and the modern decor around me snapped me back to reality.This wasn’t my bedroom.Was this…Marcelo‘s room?I panicked and looked down at my body.I was wearing a black shirt,this wasn’t my shirt either.What was going on?I tensed when the bathroom door opened and Marcelo walked out clad in a suit.“You…I…is this your room?”He regarded me as if I were being absurd.Well,with the dark decor of this room,no one needed to tell me that it was his.But I was still confused.”How did I end up here?I…I remember being in my room last night and this shirt…”Oh God.This shirt smells like him.And why was I wearing nothing underneath?!“Don’t you remember how psychotic you were last night?”I blinked.Psychotic?I held m
*MARCELO*As I headed for the door,Chad walked behind me.I side-eyed him to find him smiling as he walked me to the door.“Are you going to follow me to work?”I asked turning to face him.He slung me a sly smile.“So Mrs King spent the night in your room.”He drawled.”I can see you two are getting close.”I rolled my eyes.”What’s weird about us getting close and she sleeping in my room?She’s my wife.”I snapped and walked off.But I could hear him chuckle.That old man seem to be excited about the prospect of me finally getting along with my wife.Well,I couldn’t say it was all that bad though.The more I got to know Renee,the more intrigued I was of her.**********************RENEE*After freshening up,I sipped on the honey water the maid had brought me,straining to piece together the previous night’s fuzzy memories.But my mind remained blank.Elma suddenly let out,her voice excited and sincere.“Mrs King,you should know how much your husband cares about you.He was by your side thro
*MARCELO*I narrowed my eyes at the photo to see my wife in a chic,light beige dress and black coat,she was attentively working on a mannequin.I frowned.”Isn’t she supposed to be resting at home?”I looked up at Luke and he shrugged,equally clueless about the situation.I immediately gave Chad a call.“Why is my wife not home?”I asked as soon as he picked up.“Oh,Mrs King told me she had something important to do.She told me not to follow her and that she would be fine.Please don’t be mind,Mr King.”I hung up and sighed.Luke chimed in what had obviously become obvious.“It seems she’s vying for the stylist position here this quarter.She has made it to the second interview round and seems to be faring quite well.”It was also obvious that she doesn’t know that I owed this company.“Bring her up to me.”Why couldn’t she just adhere to simple instructions?I told her to have a good rest at home!I had only returned to this country this morning and it was quite surprising that she had le
Catherine’s career had been soaring even if she was significantly talentless.Thanks to her father,Rocco’s influence, her talent agency provided her with top-tier resources, positioning her alongside the company's most prominent stars. Prestigious fashion brands were reaching out to her one after another overlooking the fact that she had no talents.Shortly after she signed onto a leading variety show,Catherine encountered Celine.“Catherine, you won't believe who I saw today at KM Group's studios. I was there for a magazine shoot.""Who?" Catherine disliked the suspense."It was Renee!"Celine, knowing Catherine’s animosity towards Renee, didn't hesitate to divulge the information. "I asked around. She's in the running to be KM Group's new quarterly collaborative stylist and has made it to the final round!"Catherine had thwarted Renee’s prospects multiple times, but this opportunity with KM Group was on another level.Becoming the collaborative stylist for KM Group would undoubtedly
*RENEE*His response cut me off.I watched as he sat stoically on the opposite side of the car, his face an impassive mask, seemingly unaffected by his mother's distressing episode at the sanatorium.My curiosity was usually contained, but Jessica was an exception.In my middle school days, fraught with confusion and helplessness, watching Jessica on TV,learning about her success story,she had come from nothing and made a name for herself,that had encouraged me to pursue my dreams.Sitting up straight,I asserted, "Mr. King, as your lawful wife, I have a right to understand the situation with my mother-in-law."Marcelo turned towards me, noting my serious tone. He rolled down the window, letting in a gust of wind.“Renee, remember, curiosity kills the cat.""Fine," I muttered, my voice low. "But remember, your mother told you not to pick on me. I might just tell her about this next time.”“Go ahead," he said suddenly."What?"I was taken aback, not following his train of thought.Marcel
It started out as a one night stand for Milena and Jason.To them being boss and employees and now fuck buddies.They had both tried to keep it professional.Milena had did her best to stop thinking about him sexually.But all it always takes was Jason to look at her,just one look sets her body on fire.A fire that could only be quenched by him.And then,they both came to an agreement.To have sex with each other whenever they wanted.Milena knew that this was risky for her heart and body but she wanted to believe that maybe someday,she’d stop wanting him so much.They were currently on their first business trip together abroad,and so far Milena had been having a great time.Not only was her boss overly good in bed but he was also kind and considerate to go sightseeing with her because it was her first time in Paris.It was her first time ever leaving the country.In moments like this with Jason,Milena always had to remind herself that she couldn’t fall for him.************************
Jason had a penthouse in Spain.He usually came here for business trips so he got the penthouse a long time ago.Jason and Lena got to his Penthouse at about 2:am.He turned on the lights as they walked in.“You should get some sleep.”He said as they walked into the master bedroom.“I need to take a shower first.”Lena replied.“Okay.”Lena peeled off her dress and bra.Her panties was still in his pocket.He watched her as she undressed.And sir tried not to feel shy about it.He found her so beautiful and she enjoyed his stares.“I’ll join you.”He whispered when she finished undressing.“Okay.”While he started to take off his clothes,Lena walked into the bathroom,she could see two light options.Turning both of them on,she realized one was brighter than the other so she turned off the brighter one.She had been using the bathroom in the other room but Jason wanted them to sleep on the same bedroom tonight.There was a light knock on the door.“Come in.”She whispered.The door opened an
Marcelo woke up the following morning with Renee in his arms.He sighed in content as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.She was still asleep.His cellphone rang and he quickly reached for it not wanting to wake Renee up.It was Luke.“We have a problem,sir.Paul has passed away.”Luke informed him.Marcelo grimaced and slowly got out of the bed,careful not to wake Renee.As soon as he walked out of the bedroom,he said.“Talk to me.”“The hidden cameras caught Gary bringing him coffee,he drank it and it led to his death.He also said some incriminating words that meant he poisoned the coffee if we were to use it in court.But there’s more.He sent his men out there to look for a perfect chance to kidnap Renee.”And that made Marcelo’s fingers clenched around his cellphone.This was the last straw!For so many years,he had thought his father’s death was just an accident but after the accident that claimed his brother’s life as well.He became certain that someone wanted to eliminate his who
I know.I could feel every bit of it.“I love you.”He said again and leaned over to kiss me.His kiss was deep, slow and sensual.He moved one of his hand down and guided the tip of his shaft inside me.And I came immediately,my own body taking me by surprise.A wave of sensual electricity jolted me from my core.My body shuddered from my toes to the top of my head and the contractions in the core of my body filled me with incredible pleasure.After it was all over,I opened my eyes,I saw Marcelo looking down at me with a grin.“You came already?”He teased.”That was just the tip.”I blushed a deep red.I haven’t come this fast before since I started having sex with him but tonight I was incredibly turned on more than ever,by his words, by the way he kissed me,by the way he touched me so just the slightest bit of his cock was enough to send me over the edge.I pouted.”I…I love you so much,that’s why.”He stared at me for a while as if processing what he had just heard.I placed my hand o
As soon as Marcelo walked into the house that day,Renee ran up to him and hugged him.He smiled as he stroke her hair.“Did you watch the press conference?”She nodded.“I’m sorry that I didn’t inform you about announcing our marriage to the public first…I…”She lifted up her head to stare at his face.“I’m not upset.I’m glad that everyone knows I’m your wife.”Marcelo beamed at her.”And I am glad that everyone knows that this incredible woman is mine.”She smiled,broadly.“I was thinking,maybe we could have a wedding ceremony.”He suggested.She bit her lower lip.”I’d like to walk down the aisle to you.”He leaned down and kissed her deeply.“I’m curious about something.”She suddenly let out.“About what?”He asked.“Were you disappointed or happy when Wyatt confirmed I wasn’t pregnant?”“Disappointed.”He replied,honestly.“Really?”“Yeah. I always thought I didn’t want marriage or children but Renee,I want everything with you.I want to experience everything only with you.”Renee giggl
That night,Gary couldn’t sleep.He paced to and fro thinking about the fact that Marcelo just keeps surprising them recently.Firstly,from thinking he was a disabled loser to finding out he owned the most powerful company in the country.And now,he wasn’t disabled!That nephew of his deceived him!Back then,that accident was meant to kill both Sebastian and Marcelo.But Marcelo had survived.Gary had wanted to make another attempt on his life but finding out that he was disabled made him feel that there was no need.Now,looking back,he felt enraged.Marcelo had deceived him!Marcelo had made him think that he was a disabled loser while he secretly made moves.Gary felt like tearing down the whole house.He needed to go see his father.They needed to talk about how to eliminate Marcelo once and for all!They couldn’t let Marcelo get more powerful than this.As Gary went up to Paul’s study, he was about to knock when he heard Paul’s voice.“I am not getting any younger.And it pains me to r
My love?Those words reeled through her head and she slowly pulled away from him and stared into his eyes.It wasn’t the first time he was calling her that but it made her heart ache as she wondered if he knew what that meant.“Do you even know what that means?”She asked,her voice hoarse from crying so much.Marcelo was confused.“What are you talking about?”“You shouldn’t call me your love.People don’t just randomly call people that.”She turned away from him as tears threatened again.“Renee,I’m not randomly calling you that.I called you that because…”“Why did you help her?”He blinked,surprised by her question again.“Help who?”“Stop playing dumb already.”She yelled as she stood up to her feet.“Do you know how hard she tried to ruin me?!She was aiming at ruining my career and I did my best,getting the jewelries and…and running around making sure everything went smoothly,do you have any idea how tired I was when I played the piano.Even if I was looking composed,doing so much that
“No, it wasn't me!"Catherine blurted out in a knee-jerk reaction. But as she realized the undeniable truth in the surveillance footage, she quickly shifted her story. "I just lost my balance. It was an accident. I didn't mean to hit the table!"Renee was unaware of Catherine’s presence near the champagne tower since she was out of her line of sight. Now, she was convinced that Catherine had intended the incident.Marcelo, however, was uninterested in Catherine’s excuses.“I'm giving you a chance to apologize," he said sternly. He pointed to another champagne tower and instructed Catherine, "Go stand there and pull the table yourself."His demand wasn't unreasonable. He wanted Catherine to understand the potential harm she had nearly caused Renee.“No, I can't!"Catherine refused, shaking her head in terror and shielding her face.She feared the glass could cut her, potentially scarring her face. She then tried to shift the blame to Renee. "You weren't even hurt. You can't do this to me
"A marriage alliance..." Vivian muttered, her voice trailing off.The news had caught her completely off guard.Catherine’s satisfied grin grew wider as she saw the shock etched on Vivian’s face.“Miss Lambert, do you still see yourself as the other woman? Are you ready to be outplayed by someone so cunning?"“Why are you telling me this?" Vivian quickly regained her composure. "You're with Andrew. We both understand his connection to Marcelo. If I marry into the King family, the Lamberts will support Marcelo. That can't be good for you."It didn't make sense for Catherine to be helping her.Catherine just shrugged. "I can't stand watching that Renee enjoy a good life. Isn't that reason enough?"************The birthday ceremony then began. Paul had two sons and a daughter. Today, his daughter was notably absent. She was the family's outcast, having married young and moved abroad with her husband. She had almost cut all ties with the Kings.Renee vaguely recalled that she had been cl
Renee watched Vivian with a knowing smile.Vivian, unable to utter the words, bit her silver teeth and continued to gaze at Marcelo, silently begging for his help.Considering her relationship with his brother, Marcelo reassured, "It's okay not to call her that."If his brother were still alive and married to Vivian, they would have referred to Vivian as "sister-in-law."Renee’s smile stiffened slightly, but it didn't matter to her. She didn't need Vivian’s acknowledgment as "sister-in-law," and the thought of it even disgusted her.She didn’t want Marcelo and Vivian to be seen as siblings.She wanted Vivian to have nothing to do with her husband.Was that too much to ask?Meanwhile,Jessica showed a keen interest in the piece Renee had composed and started discussing it with her.Finding the conversation uninteresting, Marcelo decided to step out to the balcony for a smoke. Seizing the opportunity, Vivian followed him.“Marcelo, are you angry with me for siding with your father today?"
Feeling a pit in her stomach,Renee was about to relinquish her hold when Marcelo spoke.“No, thank you." He refused Vivian directly.Marcelo waved in the direction of Damian, who was standing nearby. "Damian will keep you company.”Vivian and Damian were already acquainted.“Huh? Oh, sure. I'll take it from here,"Damian replied.He was startled at first, and then bewildered by the sudden task that was thrown in his face. But he didn't want Marcelo to leave Renee alone and go with another woman, so he agreed without a second thought.The smile froze on Vivian’s face, and her eyes darkened. She swallowed and quickly composed herself. "Well," she said, forcing another smile at Damian. "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the meantime."Damian paid no mind to her strained expression and carried on as he would with an old friend.“It's no trouble at all. We were just about to play dice, do you care to join us?Renee is quite good at it. Why don't you give it a try?"Damian offered.Wyat
