I went home with a heavy heart. The maid welcomed me with a smile and somehow, it warmed my heart. She asked me what I wanted to eat but I refused. I don't feel like eating snacks.I went to my room and changed my clothes immediately. I want to do something that could take away the heaviness from my heart. Something that would push and stretch me to continue life despite how fucked up it's getting be. It's draining at the moment, but hopefully worth it in the end.I went straight to the kitchen and saw the maid cleaning the counter. "Hi…" I smiled. "Can you teach me how to cook Adobo? I want to cook it for dinner. I really want to learn and cook for Kad.""Of course, Ma'am!""Thank you!" I beamed.She started preparing the ingredients we need for the Adobo. Adobo is a Filipino dish I've been wanting to learn ever since. I don't know but it feels like you're such a good wife if you mastered cooking it.I watched and listened to the maid as she started teaching me how to slice the ing
I was silent the whole time we’re eating breakfast. Every time I swallow food, it gets stuck in my throat. I don’t know why I feel frustrated, hurt, and confused while seeing Kadmiel laugh comfortably with this woman. “Last night, Alliana needed…” “Kad.” I stared at Alliana as she blankly stopped Kadmiel from telling the story of what really happened last night that made her sleep in here. Her eyes turned to me and smiled. I can’t decipher her smile, whether it’s a smile for good or the other way around. “I’m not… ready to tell it to someone I barely know,” she started. “But what I assure you, Katriel, is that I’m a good friend of Kadmiel. We’ve been friends for so long. Nothing less… nothing more. You have nothing to worry about my existence.” She looked away as she sipped from her coffee. I gulped. “I’m not worrying over anything. I have no issue with regards to your friendship, too. I also respect your privacy with what happened last night. I’m not gonna force you to tell m
Having that talk with Noreene was badly needed. I stayed there until 7 PM before she decided to drive me home. When I arrived at the penthouse, Kadmiel was not there. I just shrugged it off. It’s better anyway, I don’t think I can face him right now with how my own feelings are overwhelming me.I changed into my usual sleeping attire before I decided to go out and have a walk. There’s a park just near this condominium. I need fresh air to breathe. My thoughts are suffocating me.The cold breeze immediately welcomed me as I stepped outside the building. I walked to the park, letting my loose hair dance along the swirling wind. The stars are like sly pearls that adorn the dark blue night sky, and are no less inferior to the bright moon.As I was about to sit on one of the benches, I froze on my spot. I just stare with wide open eyes and cannot shut, like the whole world is breaking and crumbling apart around me… My heart is aching at the sight.Alliana, tiptoeing while her arms around t
"How was your day?""Good."Kadmiel fetched from the school. I didn't welcome him with a hug nor a kiss, he didn't say anything about it though so I guess he's fine with it. He literally just sighed and watched me go inside his car independently."Really? You seem off…""I'm really fine," I replied, eyes on the road.I felt his hand travel from my lap to my free hand. I didn't budge with his touch, I just let him hold it and kiss it softly."Do you wanna go somewhere else? It's still early. Let's date.""I'm a bit tired from school." I shook my head. "And we don't need to date. Remember, Kad? We aren't real. We don't need to publicly show our relationship. The news about our marriage is enough."Kadmiel sighed. His hand squeezed my hand before he put it on his mouth again to shower soft kisses."Tell me what's our problem, Katriel.""What problem? Nothing. We don't have a problem here."He softly nodded. "Okay…"My heart clenched. I feel bad for acting that way towards him. But this i
While waiting for the ride I booked online, I received a message from Dennise. She sent me the name of the club where she's currently waiting. She also informed me that she's with Zico.I don't really believe they're just friends. I'm just honestly waiting for one of them to break the shell and confess.It took me 20 minutes to get to the club. The loud music, the entrancing lights, and the wild people sent me back to those good old times when my life revolved around only my studies and parties. Even though my name was very controversial, I can't deny that that was one hella moment of my life I never regret having."Is that Katriel?""Yeah. She isn't with her husband. This is my first time seeing her again in a club after a long time! She had fun with her life after getting married, huh?""You think she will create a scene here?""I don't think so. She's already married.""You never know. Once tempted, she can easily forget she's married."I scoffed. Guess people are still waiting for
I squinted my eyes when I felt the sun rays on my face. I slightly moved from my position. My eyes opened wide when I realized I was hugging a body. I got up from the bed and almost lost my balance when I felt pain in my head."Shit," I whispered."Are you okay?"My brows knitted when I saw Kadmiel's face so close to mine. He held my body, restraining me from falling. I looked at my own body and saw what I'm wearing. It's not my clothes. It's his fucking shirt!Did something happen again between us?Oh God, what happened to my Kadmiel-free last night?"Stay here. I'll prepare soup for your hangover."I watched him leave me on the bed. He was just wearing his usual sweatpants without a cloth on top. I scanned my body using my hand. I'm still wearing my undergarments under his big shirt that appeared like a dress to me.I can feel no pain in my center which gave me a sigh of relief.I don't remember anything last night except for the fact that I got so drunk.I sighed and forced myself
“Katriel.”“What?” I irritatedly asked.“I’m asking you what happened last night.”I saw him clench his jaw several times. He’s wearing a white shirt and cotton shorts, hir is still a bit damp.“You got drunk. I went there to fetch you. We went home. That’s it.” I even shrugged to show him what happened last night is not really a big deal.“Did… I say something?”I cocked a brow. “Why? Is there something you should have not said?”“Did I?” he asked sternly.I smirked as I gave him another shrug. Besides telling me he misses me, there’s none. I don’t know why he’s so worried. I wonder what it is that he shouldn’t have said to me.I shrieked when he pushed my body on the table. His eyes narrowed, giving me hostile glares. His face contorted with rage, as his curled lip moved along his clenched jaw. His hand started to travel from my arm, down to my waist to pin my back harder on the table.“What are you doing?” I asked while hissing.“I’m trying to show you that I am pissed,” he replied
"Morning..."Kadmiel kissed my cheek as I went near the counter top where he's preparing his food. I smiled and greeted him back. He's preparing fried rice, omelet, and bacon. It's just the typical morning dish yet it smells differently good."How's your sleep?" he asked while busy turning the side of the omelet in the pan."Good, of course. I slept with my husband." I chuckled playfully."I don't really like the idea of having separate rooms in the first place," he replied cockily."Of course, that's needed! We weren't completely a thing back then. Who would want to sleep in the same room every night with just someone."Kadmiel raised both of his brows. He washed his hand in the sink after putting the omelet on a plate. He was drying his hands when he went to me, pulling me to him as he gave me another kiss on my cheek."Me…" he whispered."Shut up," I groaned.He laughed at me. We started eating breakfast while talking about random stuff. I don't know why he still let the maids take
“Whenever I meet people who went to Siargao, they always tell me that they almost didn't want to leave the place. I have this blockmate who said they went here for a week but extended another week,” I told Kadmiel. We're on a boat right now and I'm sitting beside him. I can feel his hand resting on my thigh and waist. “I'm excited. I hope this island hopping is going to be great.”“It will,” he replied and kissed my cheek.We were silent as we watched the sea; the boat continued sailing. I spontaneously planned this island hopping. We were supposed to just swim but I thought of this. We're only here for a short period of time so why not visit some places around Siargao. Kadmiel also willingly paid for a private boat and tour guide.“Gosh, the weather is so nice!” I exclaimed. It's not so sunny. It's windy but not even a raindrop is falling. It's perfectly good.“I know,” Kadmiel replied with a smile.We arrived at the first island called Corregidor Island. We quickly made our way into
“Let’s go out of town this weekend.”I stopped writing to look at Kadmiel. We’re both here in his receiving area. He’s doing his business on his laptop while I’m doing my homework. “Out of town? Like the beach?” I asked and he nodded. “Why?”“I just wanna experience that kind of date with you.” He moved from his position to get closer to me. His hand slipped on my waist as he pulled me closer to him. “Do you want that?”I grinned. “Of course!”“Hmm, then let’s go to Boracay. Do you want to go there? Or do you want somewhere else?”I looked at him. “Siargao. Can we go there?” I showed him my puppy eyes and he laughed. “Even without puppy eyes, you know I’d go where you want to.” He chuckled as he kissed my cheek. Then a peck on my lips, then followed by many more until it became deep and aggressive. I felt Kadmiel’s hand cupping my butt as he positioned me on top of him, straddling him on the floor. A soft moan escaped my lips when I felt his shaft in between our clothes. Damn it,
Kadmiel's hand slid in my waist as we walked together inside the cinema. I told him what I want to do for today's date and he just told me he's giving me the right to decide on everything.We just randomly picked a movie to watch. I bought the tickets while he was in charge of the food. And please... he bought a lot! It's like we're going to live inside the cinema for a week. This man's really proving how a five hundred peso bill is just like a coin to him."Oh… Not many people around to watch?" Kadmiel reacted as we went inside. And he's right, there's like around only 10 people, including us.Did we pick an unworthy movie?Kadmiel and I opted to sit in the back row. It's always been my favorite spot in the cinema, though. I think it's just a perfect angle to watch. I don't like watching too close to the big screen.I sat in the first seat, like what I've been always choosing everytime I go to the cinema. Kadmiel sat on my left, silently putting our food and drinks in the designated
