“HOLY s**t! Oh, f**k!” Orion could barely catch his breath as Camila continued to pleasure him.
Orion was sitting on the bed with his back leaning against the soft headrest. He held both his hands on Camila’s head as she moved up and down, pleasuring him. Sucking his manhood with the tip of her tongue.
“Is it good?” Camila seductively asked Orion, who could only nod in response.
“Continue,” he begged.
Camila bit her lower lip and then licked the tip of Orion’s throbbing manhood.
“Tell me first, Orion. Who’s better in bed, me or your wife?”
“You, of course. She doesn’t do this for me. She’s so boring in bed. You’re more exciting than she is.”
Camila’s eyes sparkled with satisfaction before she resumed her actions. She was clearly delighted with Orion’s response.
They were both naked, paying no attention to their surroundings as Camila continued her oral efforts on Orion. Orion’s eyes nearly rolled back in pleasure as Camila deep-throated him.
“I-I’m cumming.”
“Oh, yeah, c*m inside my mouth, darling,” Camila said in a sultry voice, intensifying her efforts.
Orion released his juice, and Camila caught every drop in her mouth. Some of it even splashed on her face, which she simply laughed off.
Orion was panting as he lowered himself onto the bed. He gently pulled Camila down beside him, and Camila looked at Orion as she swallowed his juice.
Camila shook her head and sighed.
“If only Evadne were as exciting as you,” Orion said with a sigh.
“Oh, please, don’t mention your wife’s name. It kills the mood,” Camila replied.
“I’m sorry,” Orion replied before he pulled Camila closer by her waist and kissed her on the lips.
Then, he lifted the woman, who immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. Orion held her by the hips and entered Camila’s wet p*ssy. While standing, Orion began to move rhythmically, each thrust intensifying Camila’s moans of pleasure.
They remained standing for a while, and then Orion gently laid Camila on the bed, continuing their passionate encounter.

Evadne gasped as a picture frame she had accidentally knocked over crashed to the floor, shattering the glass.
It was their wedding photo, and she had not meant to fall it that way, let alone break it. But she didn’t immediately notice the sharp shard of glass that had pierced her index finger.
She quickly sucked her injured finger, tasting the metallic tang of her own blood, and stood up. She’d clean it up later. She found her way to the medicine kit and promptly applied some cotton and a band-aid to her cut. It was just a small cut, but she still felt the sting.
After tending to her wound, Evadne grabbed a broom and dustpan. She swept up the shattered frame, tossing it away, and set aside their wedding photo.
When she got back home that evening, she found Camila watching TV in the living room.
“Hi,” Camila greeted her with a smile.
“Hi,” Evadne replied, returning the smile. She didn’t pay much attention to what Camila was watching on TV and headed straight to her and Orion’s bedroom to change clothes and prepare dinner.
As she opened the door to their bedroom, she was surprised to find Orion inside, engrossed in his laptop. Her husband had come home early again, but she shrugged it off.
Entering the room, she closed the door behind her and approached her husband, thinking to greet him with a kiss.
“Hon, I’m home,” she said.
“Hmmm,” Orion replied, still typing away on his laptop.
Instead of moving closer, Evadne went to their walk-in closet and began selecting her clothes for the evening. She then proceeded to the bathroom for a quick shower. She didn’t take long; she was merely washing off the lingering scent of the coffee shop.
After her shower, she returned to find Orion still engrossed in his laptop. This time, she approached him, planning to kiss him on the cheek, but he turned his face away.
“Can’t you see? I’m working.”
“Even a little affection?” she said softly, still trying to be gentle.
“Whatever. Just do whatever you want,” he replied dismissively.
Evadne bit her lip at Orion’s behavior. How much longer could she endure this coldness from him?
“Can we talk, hon?”
“Not now.”
Evadne took a deep breath and tried not to let her emotions get the best of her. She clenched her hands, regaining her composure, and decided to leave their room. She didn’t want Camila to see that she wasn’t okay because of Orion’s coldness.
“When are you planning to look for a job?” she casually asked her friend as Camila went to the kitchen to get some water.
“Oh, maybe next week. I still need to take care of some requirements.”
“Good luck, Mila. There are plenty of good companies here in New York.”
“Thanks, Evadne. How about applying at your husband’s family-owned company? Would that be okay? It might be easier for me with the requirements, if he’s fine with it.”
“Sure, I’ll ask him later,” Evadne replied, smiling at Camila.
“Thank you, Evadne,” Camila said, giving her a friendly pat on the arm before returning to the living room.
Evadne thought Camila might help her with dinner, as she was used to her friend helping out. However, Camila didn’t offer.
During dinner, the three of them sat down together. Orion occupied the head of the table, while Evadne and Camila sat across from each other.
“Hon,” Evadne broke the growing silence.
“Yes?” Orion turned to her.
“Is there still a vacancy in your company? Camila is thinking about applying. That is, if there’s an available place for employees.”
Orion glanced at Camila, who smiled softly at him before lowering her gaze to her food, as if she were embarrassed.
“I’ll check with HR. If there is, I’ll refer your friend,” Orion replied, smiling back at Evadne.
Evadne looked at Camila. “Did you hear that?” She smiled.
Camila nodded with a smile of gratitude. “Thank you,” she said to both Orion and Evadne. “Don’t worry. If I get the job, I’ll work hard,” she added, sneaking a glance under the table at Orion, who looked back at Evadne.
They continued with their pleasant dinner, but little did Evadne know that beneath the table, Camila’s foot was subtly caressing Orion’s leg.
It’s been a long time since Evadne and Orion had any intimate moments, so on that particular night, she even wore her most discreet lingerie, a gift from her bridal shower attendees.She also spritzed on her expensive perfume, adding to her efforts to seduce her husband for the evening. But when she laid next to him in bed, he just closed his eyes. She gently caressed Orion’s chest. He was used to sleeping naked, and wearing only underwear on the body.“Hon,” she said sweetly, trying to wake him up. “Hon,” she called again.After a while, Orion opened his eyes, squinting as he gazed at her. He removed her hand from his chest and turned to face away from her.“H-hon, please. Let’s try tonight.”“Let me sleep, Evadne. I’m not in the mood, and I have no desire.”“Look at me,” she insisted. “Don’t you find me sexy?”Seemingly running out of patience, Orion turned to face her. “There, you’re sexy. You have big boobs, a sexy body to die for... but will that body give me a child?” Orion shoo
“EXCUSE me, Ma’am Evadne,” NoraLee apologized as she poked her head through the slightly ajar door.Evadne gestured for her to come inside. “Come in, NoraLee,” she said.NoraLee bit her lower lip as she entered and approached her.“Is there a problem outside?”“Uh, yes, Ma’am Evadne.”“Did something break in our coffee maker?”She shook her head. “N-no, it’s not that. Everything is fine. Nothing’s broken. It’s just that Sir Handsome is outside. He’s claiming his free coffee now. He said he wants you to make it for him.”Evadne sighed. She had just arrived not too long ago. After visiting her parents at the cemetery, she had come straight to the coffee shop.“You should have told him I’m not here.” She had just arrived a little while ago from church. “I tried to make up an excuse, but he said he saw you coming into the coffee shop earlier. So, I couldn’t come up with any more excuses. I’m sorry.”She sighed again. With a heavy heart, she lowered her hand, which had been massaging her
Evadne closed her eyes tightly, hoping that what she was witnessing would change. But it didn’t. It remained the same.Her husband, Orion, was currently on top of the woman she reluctantly allowed to stay in their house out of pity, as she had nowhere else to go. None other than Camila, who was moaning with each successive movement of her husband in her delicacy.Evadne felt like her soul was escaping from what she was witnessing. It wasn’t just a dream. No matter how she blinked, her vision remained the same.She felt her chest about to explode from the intense anger and heartbreak.It was happening right on their marital bed. And what hurt even more? She trusted Camila not to do anything foolish. But what was she doing behind her back? She couldn’t accept that truth.Before Evadne could fully explode in anger, she quickly grabbed her cell phone from her shoulder bag. Quietly and carefully, she recorded a video of her husband and Camila. She zoomed in on the camera to clearly capture
Evadne was almost hoarse from screaming, but she continued just to release the pain in her chest. She was hurt inside and out, as if her sanity was on the verge of breaking. Almost to the point where she contemplated ending Orion and Evadne in her thoughts.“You’re such an idiot, Orion. You’re shameless! Why did you do this to me?!!!” Evadne’s knees were almost giving in, but she remained standing, screaming. “What you did to me, Orion, is unforgivable. I thought... I thought your feelings for me were genuine? But why did you deceive me?! Huh?! Why?” She weakened her voice, eventually collapsing on the grass. There, she cried even louder.The memories of catching her husband in the act with another woman in their own bedroom were like a dagger repeatedly stabbing her heart. A memory where she generously let the woman stay in their home.Now, she found herself in The High Line, overlooking a beautiful view from New York. But that breathtaking view was not why she went there.She ended
Evadne’s emotions were welling up again, tears threatening to spill.“Y-you,” she couldn’t help but blurt out as she eyed the man thoughtfully. “W-what are you doing here?”“This is my favorite camping spot, especially when I’m in Manhattan. I was surprised to see you here too. I even thought you were someone else until I caught your attention. When you turned around, that’s when I recognized you.” He sighed.“Did you hear what I said?” she asked, tears welling up again.Nodding, he lowered his face and quickly caught the tears falling from her eyes with a tissue. It was embarrassing to have someone witness her misery. She bit her lower lip.“It’s okay, Miss Coffee Shop Owner. I don’t mind. You better eat first. It’s late.”“My stomach can only handle water,” she said, allowing the tears to flow freely down her cheeks. The tissue in her hand was already damp.Evadne, there’s nothing you can do if that man saw you like this. The important thing is, you’re not close, and he doesn’t know
“Is there no more beer?” Evadne asked Gavin, extending one hand towards him.Gavin lowered Evadne’s hand. “No more. You finished it all.”“What about me? You also drink,” Evadne said, rubbing her forehead. The six cans of beer she had earlier seemed to be taking effect. He only had ten beers with him when he thought of going there to camp.Who would have thought he would fine a woman in a place where he often set up his tent to escape the noise and chaos of the city?Not many people go there, and usually, he doesn’t encounter anyone. Unlike now. There was someone there whom he never thought he would see.He didn’t plan to go home that night to Buffalo in New York, where his penthouse was located. So, he proceeded to set up his tent earlier while a woman was screaming and crying. Crying her heart out. He didn’t want to interfere, so he let her be. It seemed like she didn’t notice him anyway.He had just finished setting up his tent a while ago, and the woman was still not done venting
Evadne’s eyes fluttered open, awakening to a blurry world. Her consciousness abruptly returned, and the sun had yet to fully burst into the sky. However, there was enough light from outside for Evadne to see her surroundings.She was slightly puzzled by what her eyes beheld. She found herself inside a tent.A tent?!She quickly scanned her surroundings until her gaze settled on what was behind her.Her eyes widened when she saw a man there. Especially when she took a closer look at the man.“What—”Gradually, the events from yesterday replayed in Evadne’s memory. She spent the day in The High Line, Manhattan. She even had a few beers. And... and...Her lips parted as the memories of what transpired between her and the man last night flooded back. Evidence of their intimacy lingered under the blanket during those moments.“Evadne! What have you done?!” she screamed in her mind.Before the man woke up, Evadne carefully got up, located her scattered clothes, and meticulously dressed her
Evadne was gazing out the window of her rented apartment again. Memories flooded back to her when she had to give up her life in their mansion and settle for a small apartment, just enough for someone living solo like her. Now, here she was again. It wasn’t the mansion she had to give up, if it wasn’t not the cold relationship with her husband, Orion.Instead of opting for a condo unit, she searched for an apartment to move into. She had spent days accumulating various belongings, all funded by the credit card under her husband Orion Ashford’s name.In the over seven months they had been married, she had never used that card even once. Until now. She was certain he would be surprised by the number of items she bought with his credit card, nearing its limit.In a way, she wanted to retaliate by extravagantly spending his money.He was the one who told her to use it whenever she needed to. Despite having substantial savings, she never touched a penny of it.Being alone felt strange.She
She secretly swallowed. “I’m happy here, Gavin. You don’t need to see it with your own eyes.”“Just let me if what you’re saying is really true.”“Do you doubt me?”“It’s not like that. I just want to make sure.”“I’m okay. We’re okay...” she and your children.“You’re not married yet.”Evadne couldn’t immediately respond to Gavin’s statement. Was she going to confess?“Is it really necessary for two people to be married before being together?” she reasoned.Gavin sighed. “If he really loves you, he’ll marry you. What if I decide to take you back, can he do anything? You’re not married yet.”Was he serious? Was he ready to take her back from someone else if she had someone else?“The conversation’s going off track, Gavin,” she scolded. She stood up and approached the grilled food he ordered. “Can I have some? I’m hungry,” she said before taking some. She also took another stick and handed it to Gavin.“No wonder the barbecue at that grill tastes so good because you’re the owner,” he
Gavin squeezed his eyes shut, his head resting on his knees. His heart felt like it was being wrung dry as he listened to the fading hum of the motorboat. He hadn’t expected to see Evadne in that place. So, the moment he heard her familiar voice—while he was searching for firewood on the island for the bonfire he had planned for later that night—he dropped the wood he was carrying and ran toward her faster than a lightning strike. His heart thudded loudly in his chest upon seeing Evadne. She was really right in front of him earlier. But just like that... they were parted for good.And he couldn’t accept that part. That their past was finally severed. Suddenly, the surroundings seemed even more colorless and bleak. It’s as if his mind deliberately reminded him of the happy memories he shared with Evadne back then. When they were still okay. Now, he had to come to terms with the fact that it’s really over. That Evadne, who was once a part of his life, wouldn’t be coming back. Deep in
Evadne mind was still conflicted—should she go back to Maine with Uncle Varenzo, or should she grant Gavin’s request for time to talk?Why was it so hard to decide?“Girl?” Varenzo called to her. He must have sensed that something was wrong because he approached her, ready to pull her away from Gavin.But why did it hurt to think of leaving white sand island without even talking to him? A part of her wanted to hear his side—why had he suddenly grown cold toward her back then?Was it worth listening to what he had to say?In the end, Evadne made a decision. She looked at Varenzo. “Can you just wait at the boat, Uncle Varenzo.”“Are you sure you don’t want to go home yet?”She nodded, and he respected her choice. She watched as Uncle Varenzo walked away. In her mind, she counted to five before finally turning to face Gavin.She could see the relief on his handsome face, as if her willingness to talk had allowed him to breathe easier.“Ten minutes, Gavin,” she told him.“Can’t we make it
Evadne wanted to pinch her cheek to see if what she was seeing was real or just part of her imagination. Would the face she was seeing completely change the moment she blinked? Even her breathing momentarily halted. She couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. In the end, she couldn’t help but blink. But upon doing so, what she was seeing didn’t change. The man approaching her still had the same appearance. Like her, he couldn’t believe seeing her.When she recovered from her surprise, she managed to step back slightly away from Gavin, who was now approaching her. That voice was familiar. Even after five years, she could still recognize it so quickly. She secretly swallowed. “I’ve placed your order for the barbecue in your tent,” she said, trying not to let him see how affected she was by seeing him again in person. Why was it like that? Why was there a part of her that was excited to see him? Shouldn’t she be angry with him? Just as she was about to quickly turn away, he gr
“WHAT’S WRONG? Your face looks sad again, Darling,” Catalina glanced at her husband, Gabriel, as he approached her.She sighed. “Gavin just arrived from somewhere. I don’t think our plan to set him up with Rosalin will be successful. Your son seems completely disinterested in Friend Dina’s daughter.”Gabriel embraced her and gently rubbed her shoulder. “I told you, you should talk to our son first. Maybe he has someone else in mind, which is why he’s not interested in Rosalin.”“Gabriel, our son is already thirty-seven. Do you want him to wait until we're dead before he thinks about having a family? Everything we have now will go to waste if there’s no one to pass it down to. We’re getting older. All I want is to see our son have a family of his own, a wife to stand by his side.”“When there were many girls linked to our son, you advised him to stay away from them and not get entangled. Now that he’s avoiding girls, you’re pushing for him to get married.”“How was I supposed to know i
After Gavin finished his breakfast, the next thing he did was to take a shower. He had no intention of staying in that big house. Especially since it seemed like Rosalin was just waiting for the right moment to corner him. That’s how he felt. That’s why earlier, when he had breakfast, he chose to eat by the seaside. While his parents were sitting facing the sea.“Where are you going?” Rosalin asked curiously when she saw him coming out of his cramped room. He was wearing dark shades and even had an umbrella. It was obvious he was going somewhere.“Just around,” he replied curtly.“Do you want me to give you a tour of the island?” she invited him further.He shook his head. “I want to be alone,” he said before he walked past her. She caught him with a glance.He breathed a sigh of relief because he didn’t see his parents at the beachfront. That’s where he planned to take a walk. He noticed that the shoreline stretched straight from their beach mansion. It seemed like a pleasant walk.T
The children were sound asleep, but Evadne’s mind was wide awake at that moment. Glancing at the wall clock in their room, it was already eleven o’clock at night.She carefully got up and went to the kitchen to warm some milk. Perhaps that would help her fall asleep quickly. After preparing it, she sat on a chair by the dining table and drank her milk.For five years, despite being alone in raising her children, she managed and strived to keep going.“Mom, someone is bothering us at school. They said we don’t have a dad,” Evadne remembered Elisa telling her yesterday.One of her worries was when the time came that someone would bully her children for not having a father. So, yesterday, she went to the Day Care Center to speak with the teacher of her three children. She informed the teacher that her children were being bullied, and the teacher spoke to the mother of the child bullying them. The bully’s mother apologized to Evadne, and the child also apologized to her three children.H
That question kept haunting Gavin repeatedly. He still feels the pain every time he thinks that Isaac might take Evadne away forever from him.He let out a heavy sigh as he gazed into the distance, standing by the pool area of his penthouse.“I’m sorry, Gavin. But the truth is, I don’t know where Evadne is right now. I have no news about her. Neither do our other friends. After the sale of her coffee shop, three years ago, she vanished without a trace. I’ve tried contacting her through email, but there’s no reply.”“Isaac, you’re my only hope,” he pleaded. Hoping that Isaac would take pity on him and grant his wish.“Even if you offer me all your billions, Gavin, you won’t get anything from me. And even if I find out where Evadne is now, I won’t tell you. And if you try to find her yourself, let’s make it a race. Because if I find her first, I won’t let her see you. I’ll pursue my own interests with the woman who matters to me. May the best man win,” Isaac said, flashing a mischievous
“MR. WRIGHT?” Gavin was called by his lunch meeting companion at that moment in a VIP room of an expensive restaurant. Samuel, seated beside Gavin, cleared his throat.“Pardon?” he said, snapping back to attention.“As I was saying...” the meeting continues. How many times has he felt adrift during these close-door meetings? It’s been five years, but it feels like just yesterday.“You’re scheduled to visit UHB Leisure Club next day, Sir Gavin,” Samuel informed him as they walked out of the restaurant. The meeting had concluded smoothly.“Okay.”Samuel sighed again. Even he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Gavin because his world seemed to revolve solely around work. He no longer had time for joy or relaxation like he used to. How could he be happy when it feels like half of his heart is still missing? Gavin, too, seemed imprisoned in the past, a past without proper closure.And he knew deep down that he had no one to blame but himself for everything he was going through. Five years
