Bethy Hillstorm*

"Bethy, are you okay?" I felt Emilio’s hand on my arm and I fly back to reality.

I smile at him and sip on the tea he brought us.

Mrs. Mendez is sitting beside me delightfully sipping on her tea as if nothing happened a while back.

As soon as she said who Claire is, Emilio came back with our cups of tea and I wasn't able to properly process what Losalie just confessed.

Claire was Emilio’s first love.

It keeps ringing in my ears but it seems so hard to understand. So Emilio had his first love, so what?

But why did Losalie mention betrayal? I clearly heard her say'... Claire’s betrayal.' Did something happen?

I look at Emilio and Mrs. Mendez as they converse.

They're asking how each other is doing and the bond is evident in them. Emilio got her mother's blue eyes.

"It was nice coming over here. I should visit more often." Mrs. Mendez declares a few minutes later as she stands up and prepares herself to go.

She turns to Emilio. "Little bear, you should visit me and you f

    Bethy Hillstorm*I carefully turn the knob and take a peek inside.His room is dark except for the faint illumination from his bedside lamp. Without hesitation, I knock gently on his door and I hear him groan as he move on his bed.I step closer to look at him and he's lying down on his bed with a frown in his handsome face. He's wearing his white shirt from work and beads of sweat could be seen around his face and neck. Even with the blanket around him, I could sense him shivering."Emilio." I bend down and whisper. He slowly opens his eyes but his shivering doesn't stop."Be-thy?" he weakly states. "What are you doing here?" he tries to sit up and I support him as he leans on his headboard."Did you take any medicine?" I ask him instead. I glance at his bedside table and there's a glass of water and a pack of medicine.Emilio nods and pulls the blanket around him. I touch his forehead with my palm and he's burning. "Wait here." I hastily get up and head to his bathroom. I found a s

    Bethy Hillstorm*I blink and stare down again at my phone screen.An unknown number is calling me right now and I'm debating whether to take it or ignore it. After the fourth ring, I slide my finger and wait a few seconds for the caller to speak first."It's me, Losalie”"Oh, Mrs. Mendez!" I jump in surprise. I just got home from Emilio’s villa this morning after making sure he is already okay and his fever's gone.Thankfully, he was more than okay as shown by his electrifying vigor during our shower. I blush as I think of it. Damn."I got your number from Baby bear, I called him this morning when his secretary informed me that he got sick."Oh, she must have been so worried."There's nothing to worry about, Mrs. Mendez.Emilio’s fine now.""And it's all thanks to you, My dear." I hear her relieved sigh from the other side. "Lucas told me you took care of him last night."I smile even though she can't see me. "Uh, I did what I had to.""This is the first time in years that he let some

    I sigh again for the twentieth time and grab my hair in frustration. This over thinking is making me insane.When Emilio finished his call, he bade goodbye saying he has to get back to his office. Now, I'm left with a maddening thought. I just realized how deep in trouble I am.I can't fall in love with him.I just can't. I shouldn't in the first place.This is all so wrong. Our deal clearly states our boundaries and when I accepted his offer, I never knew that I would fall for him. I don't know how it all started but when I think about it, I think I got attached to him the moment I first gave myself. I remember having read somewhere that women tend to get attached emotionally to the man after they have sex. On the other hand, men are not likely to get their emotions involved especially when they get to sleep with any women they like.Is that the case for Emilio? What if it is?He has offered me the deal to satisfy his lustful needs and when the three-month-agreement period is over, h

    Lilian frowns at me while slowly shaking her head."Bethy, I don't get why you have to leave him and start anew."I sigh. It's too complicated when I haven't told her the whole story.She grasps both of my shoulders and looks at me directly in the eyes. "Do you love him?"I gape at her, taken aback with her question."I…..”"Do you love Emilio?”"I…I…I…I…I do but…”Lilian releases my shoulders and laughs. "Then what's holding you back?""That's the problem, Lilian. I shouldn't love him." I frustratingly states. How can I let her understand without telling her about the deal?Silence comes between us for a few moments before Lilian sighs and hugs me while patting my back. "Bethy, I may not understand your reason for your decision but whatever is you're going through, I am right here for you. You don't have to tell me now, but I hope everything would work out in the end. If you want to leave and move out for the mean time, I got your back."I hug her back tightly with the tears almost c

    Bethy Hillstorm*I slowly open my eyes with the feeling that something heavy is on my waist. I look down only to see Emilio hand wrapped around me in a possessive manner. I look up to his face and he's sleeping peacefully. His face is calm and so composed unlike the one last night which was masked with an unreadable expression and madness.I remember the ferocious ordeal we had last night and I still could not think of anything that made him that aggressive.Last night was the very first time I experienced such passionate intimate encounter in a most violent and aggressive way. And I realize that I woke up early today because something has been bugging my mind. Something is definitely off. I rack my mind with the details last night.I received his text.I came over.Then we had sex. In a very fierce manner.And... oh, shit!I bite my lip as I grasp the grave situation. We did not use a condom! We did not use protection.Damn. We did not... Shit!How could he forget?I curse myself. I

    I gulp down the glass of water in annoyance. I close my eyes trying to calm down. I got the day planned out that I woud spend this day to start packing but it seems it wouldn't go that way.Right now, Emilio is taking a bath in my bathroom.He wouldn't budge when I told him to go home.Instead, he forcefully borrowed my phone and called Lucas to bring some clothes for him. He even called a locksmith to fix my door since he dismantled my door knob. How the hell did he manage to kick open my door?I glance at the bag of fresh clean clothes that Lucas brought just minutes ago. Should i throw them out? Or better yet, burn them?Damn it.The distressing thought of when to tell him about my backing off the deal is still weighing on my mind and now, he's making this harder. My phone on the table suddenly rings. It's Lilian."Hey.""Bethy, I got your train ticket for Wednesday.”Oh, that would be the day after tomorrow."Really? Thank you Lilian, I'll inform my mom so she would know.""Have y

    Bethy Hillstorm I press my lips together and clasp my hands tighter in an attempt not to wail. I could feel the worried glances the driver is giving me but I ignore him and focus on not breaking down.Yes, I cried when I first accepted his payment after our first encounter. I swallowed my dignity and worth only thinking of how to get the debts done.But now, it hurts more that he still sees me like an undignified woman whose worth can be bought with money.It was stupid. So stupid of me for thinking that there is at least one tiny flicker of hope that he might make me stay. I was hoping that maybe somehow, he would consider the memories we made together and the times we spent with each other. But instead, he offers me more money and right there and then; I realize he sees me as something he can easily pay with his filthy money.He didn't even consider asking me why I want out.He just went on and rubbed it in my face how he can just willingly spend millions to keep me for his own sel

    Bethy Hillstorm I yawn and stretch my arms up high. I just woke up from my nap and I feel better. My eyes are still sore from crying and the undeniable ache in my heart is still there but still, I'm alive and well.Lilian offered me their guest room and she urged me to take a rest so I did. I check the large wall clock in the room and it says 6:15. I glance down at my phone beside me and after a long internal debate with myself, I pick it up and tap on the screen.What the fuck!60 missed calls and 40 messages.I check my call logs and they are all from Emilio trying to call me from the approximate time I arrived here at Lilian’s and his latest call was just ten minutes ago. I proceed and open his messages.Bear baby can we please talk?Where are you?You're not in your apartmentWhere the fuck are you!Damn it, please pick up the phonePlease, let's fix this.You’re hurting me pleaseDamn it, please pick up the phonePlease, let's fix this.I'm so sorry.Can you pls pick up!Where a

    Lilian Chaser*When we reached home, Jason dragged me straight up to our room. After we were in, he locked the door.He just stared at me. He didn't say anything. I was trying to control my tears the whole car ride. This time I broke down, they started flowing down, I couldn't control my tears anymore. I started hitting his chest."I hate you.""I hate you."He held my hands pulling me close to him he said"Who put this thing in your head that I loveLolita?""Why would anyone have to put this in my head? I know it." I said sobbing."First calm down. How did you know it?""S-She was with you in y-your office today.""Today? When?""When I called you in the morning, she picked up the call.""You called me?" He asked in confusion. I nodded."I was not in my office in the morning." He said making me confused now. Jason thought for sometime "Shit!""What?""I forgot my phone in my office and she was there, maybe that time you have called.""But you still love her."I sighed. "Why are you

    Lilian Chaser*I was peacefully doing my work when her thought comes flushing in my mind.I sighed and kept the phone back on the table. I really want to see her in that dress. Waiting till the evening is really making me impatient.This girl is killing me, when after so much I finally started avoiding her why did she had to wear something like that in the hot tub. I wanted to take her so badly right then and there. I don't know if she is doing this purposely or not but if she continues this I am sure I will lose control over myself.Taking her out of my thoughts, I focused on my work again. When I was finally done, I looked at the timing to see it was 6 already, so I decided to return home. When I reached home, I saw Junior studying like an obedient child and trying to understand what his tutor was saying. I smiled looking at him and made my way upstairs. When I entered the room I found Lilian applying makeup. I cleared my throat, she froze. I went in, and waited for her to say somet

    Lilian Chaser*He shook his head. "No. You were right I was selfish. I just thought about Junior and not about your life. In fact, you should hate me after everything I have done. I deserve it. I wasn't ignoring you Lilian, I was just staying away from you so that you don't get hurt or cry because of me again.""Jason.”"I have caused enough pain to you Lilian because of my selfishness.""N-No." I shook my head.He smiled, a sad smile. "Yes. So, if me staying away from you makes you happy and if it doesn't hurt you then be it like that. I won't force you to do anything.I’ve done enough.”With that he left the pool, leaving me there alone in confusion.He is not serious. Right?I told him that I said that because I was angry.Will Jason leave me too?My mom died while giving birth to me, then my dad got locked up unjustly, then Nanny left me and now Jason too?Just the thought of that scared me, I stumbled back and my back hit the wall."No, he can't leave me.

    Lilian Chaser*I turned around with a smile. He came near me and frowned. "You were crying?" He asked.I shook my head and knelt in front of him. "No baby, why would I cry?""No, I saw you crying.""But I wasn't crying.""Yes you were. Don't lie to me.""I am not lying to you. Maybe you were just seeing things."Really? Am I?" He asked lost in his thoughts.I was just praying that he didn't see carefully. I nodded."Maybe." He shrugged, his face lit up again. "You know I found something while I was riding.""Really?"He nodded with a wide smile on his face. "See."He brought his hand in front when my eyes fell on a rose. "A red rose?""Shh... don't tell anyone, I saw it and I plucked it from the garden, you like Rose so I thought to give you this.”I smiled. "Aww... you know you are the best. I love you and thank you.""Welcome. Mommy now I am all sweaty sweaty, I'll go and take a shower."I nodded. Giving me the rose he ran to his room. I was making my way to my room when someone cal

    Jason Chaser*"Oh baby, how long are you planning to make him wait?"Lilian sighed and pecked my lips. A victory smile plastered on my face and I release her. She ran to the door and opened it. Junior came inside and gave a suspicious look, looking between me and Bella."I was knocking from that time, why weren't you opening?" He asked Lilian."Umm... w-we a-actually." Lilian stuttered then glared at me. I smirked."Baby we were actually sleeping." I replied."Yes we’re s-sleeping. We were sleeping.""Till now?" He asked."Yeah.” I replied getting up from the bed. "Now I'llgo and get cleaned up while little one, you go and wait downstairs. After the breakfast I have something to show you."Junior’s face lit up. "Really! What Dad?""That's a surprise."He frowned. "I hate surprises." I chuckled.After the breakfast, I took Junior outside, Lilian was following us while Junior was jumping out of excitement."Dad what is it?""Look there."

    Lilian Chaser*"Cartel?" I said in confusion.Why the fuck is this man here?I looked at Jason, I saw him getting stiffened.What's wrong with him?I stood beside Jason. "What are you doing hereCartel?" I asked in an angry tone."Had some work to finish." He said giving an evil smirk to Jason.What the hell is going on?"Just get out." Jason said in a calm tone."How can I, Mr. Chaser when I am being blamed of something I haven't done." He said with the same smirk on his face."What are you talking about?" I asked."Oh Lilian, you are so innocent, to fall for anyone's trap without even thinking." Cartel said."You know what, Jason is right, just get out. I don't want to know anything, you are the reason and cause of Nanny death.”"Actually in a way you can say that, but what about the truth that she hid from you." Cartel said shamelessly, like Nanny's death didn't matter tohim."What truth?" I asked in confusion. He smirked."That's it. Lilian, I think you should go back, I'll talk

    Lilian Chaser*"That's Angela." A voice came from behind me. I turned around to see Jason standing leaning against the door. His coat and tie both were off, he was wearing a dark blue shirt with sleeves rolled up and the first two buttons of his shirt were undone giving me the view of his tanned collarbones.I stared at him for sometime.Why is he telling me this? He was the one who decided to avoid me.He came inside the room, and stood in front of me looking at the picture with a smile on his face.Without saying anything I decided to just leave the room. I was about to leave but when I passed Jason he held my wrist."She is my sister. Actually was."Jason then held my waist pulling me closer to him, I felt my heart beating faster. I haven't still got used to him being so close, it feels the same everytime, the unusual heartbeat. Resting his head on my shoulder he continued "we loved to paint.""Jason you don't have to-"Ignoring what I was saying Jason continued "And she wanted to p

    Lilian Chaser*Chloe who was standing beside me started panicking "Oh my! Lilian a mosquito? We need to go to the doctor now. Show it to me first."She then peeped in my neck, I tried to hide it but I failed she pulled my arm pulling me closer, then she eyed at the spot properly. "This is a mosquito bite?" she asked in confusion.I looked down biting my lip. "Junior, this is a mosquito bite. But I don't think the mosquito was poisonous so your Mommy is so safe." She smirked looking at Jason.Jason eyes furrowed, he looked at the spot carefully then realised what it was. He cleared his throat."Dad you need to see through this matter.""Y-Yeah, I-I will." Jason said then drank the whole juice in one go.I was in the rooftop, sitting on the couch lost in deep thoughts. Junior was studying as his tutor was here. After last night I haven't got the chance to talk to Jason, All the time I was either with Junioror we were all together.It does matter to me, last night what happened. It was m

    Lilian Chaser*"Nanny, t-took the pills on her own will." I finally managed to say that.Jason looked at me in confusion. I showed him the letter. He read the whole letter then thought something. He then looked at me "Did you find anything else?"I shook my head."It has to be him." he mumbled looking at thepaper."What? Who?" I asked.He looked at me "I can't say properly but I think it has something to do with Nanny’s brother.”"But she was his sister.""I know but he was the only one in the house who was staying with her and why so suddenly she would decide something like this when everything was going fine.""So what are we gonna do about it?"Jason took a deep breath and gave the letter back to me "Don't worry I'll look into it."I nodded still thinking that why would he have something to do with all this.Jason held my hands in his, "Trust me Lilian."I just stared in his eyes.I do trust him. I think I trust him more than I even trust myself, I know he'll never let me down.Wh
