2024-10-29 19:42:56The surprise on Chadrick's face was clearly visible when he sighted me in front of his hotel room. His eyes flickered a few times and even tried to check behind me if I have company.
I cleared my throat “It’s just me," I muttered to break the silence. He nodded without breaking his stare at me. It felt like in any second, I would melt in front of him. Hastily, I informed him that I came because he said he wanted to talk to me. "Are you with your wife? If so, then we can talk somewhere else” I took the courage to ask the thing.
His eyes widened like I mentioned something wrong. “We really need to talk so will you please come in?” he offered which I nodded right away. I stepped inside his suite and I could feel my legs were shaky as I walked. He pointed to a chair for me to sit down and I did instantly because I felt like I don't have the energy to stand any longer.
He was standing and back facing me as he looked out of the window. It could be seen that he was

He cupped both my cheeks and begged me to go back to Chicago. Tears swelled on both sides of his eyes and the sincerity was clearly visible. Before I left, I felt like everything was my entire fault for what happened because of my childish behavior. But after he revealed everything to me, I concluded that leaving him was really my mistake and I felt awful about it. He was pleading for me to go back and I realized, he's really serious about us. After our talk, I told him to give me some more time before I can go back to Chicago. I reasoned that I needed to speak to Bella and I still have a job to send my resignation properly. I didn’t want to get VIP treatment in the company just because I’m friends with the heir. I wanted to be a good example to all the employees I know in my department. I thanked God that Chadrick understood my justifications about those things. We were heading to the door because I was bound to the hospital where Bella is. I wanted to visit a

I didn’t know for how long we were kissing passionately. Both of us were panting when he pulled out. “Baby, we should stop," he whispered on my lips "I’m afraid I couldn’t hold myself tonight if we continue doing this” he added softly. I caressed his cheek and looked at his lustful eyes “I want you”. His eyes widened in surprise “I feared you’ll regret it,” he sounded so careful. I pulled him closer to me “I won’t,” I bit his lip and kissed him affectionately. I was sure of my feelings and could definitely give everything to him. My heart was in high spirits and so full because of the overwhelming emotions. We continued kissing each other and in an instant, we were in the room of his suite. He cupped my face and leaned closer “I love you, Allesandra” he whispered seductively. I was able to hear it clearly and it brought goosebumps all over my body. “You don’t know how much I’m distressed all these years that you’re gone” he breathed and I swallowed hard as my

I bit my lip as I could feel tears swelling in my eyes. My heart was ecstatic and butterflies were flying inside me. I immediately got up from his lap and pulled him closer to me. I kissed him and he reciprocated it passionately. I pulled out from our intimate kiss and hugged him tightly. “This is beautiful,” I told him. “You did compliment the ring but you didn’t answer me yet,” he hissed audibly. “Chadrick, I don’t need to say it because since I was a kid I told you that I’ll marry you, remember?” he chuckled and gently kissed my temple. “But for your peace of mind, Okay, Yes I will marry you, my Knight,” I teased him and sniffled on his neck. “When did you get this ring?” I wondered. He cleared his throat “I have that ring a day before you left,” he unveiled. I gasped in disbelief that he kept the ring for two years. It means he intended to propose to me and marry me back in Chicago. I didn’t know what to feel about the revelation but I felt so happy that he never

She looked at me intently in the eyes and her meaningful stare was clearly visible. I blushed right away and couldn't utter a word. “What? Cat got your tongue? Your blushing bitch!” she sounded playful. I did not answer her, instead, I leaned and hugged her tightly “Bella, my heart is full," I whispered audibly. She caressed my back “I’m so happy for you," she expressed gently "Don’t be stupid this time, Okay?” she chuckled and I hissed on her warning. When we pulled out, I showed her my finger. In a second, her lips parted in astonishment “Did he put a ring on you? Tell me!” she giggled excitedly. “This is a beautiful ring one could ever have!" she touched the ring "Congratulations!" and shouted ecstatically. I looked at her with my brimming eyes “Yes, he proposed to me this morning," I sniffed "I’m getting married and this time it’s for real," my voice cracked and tears fell on my face as I felt very emotional. She held my hands and pressed a little “I bet you did

Bella sent me to the airport because I'll be flying back to Chicago. No one knows in my family about it because I kept it a secret. I wanted to surprise Chadrick as he thought that I’m not coming home yet til’ another two weeks. “I’ll be missing you, bitch!” she hugged me tightly for nearly a minute. “Whoa! That’s so tight woman you’re choking me!” I kidded to lighten our emotions. “I can’t believe you’re leaving me for good,” she whispered audibly. I faced her “What are you a baby?” I teased. She hit me lightly on my shoulder and I laughed at her reaction. "Chicago is a plane ride away," she nodded. I understood that having with each other for two years is quite hard to part ways. "You will be busy in the coming months," I reminded her because she has a lot of assignments as my maid of honor. Inside the plane, I contemplated. That time I came to New York, my heart was bleeding and I was devastated. Our life is not as easy as one, two, three, but with a lot o

He did not react the moment he opened his eyes. He stared at me like he was seeing things with just his imaginations. When his senses were back, he sat up quickly and his eyes flickered for few times. He walked towards me with parted lips in disbelief. “Baby? Am I not dreaming?” he slapped this cheeks to awaken himself. I laughed at his reaction and I hugged him right away. “I missed you,” I whispered softly. He hugged me back while swinging and kissing my temple repeatedly. “You’re really going to be the death me!” he said not able to believe my presence. "Did I surprise you?" I teased. "I am beyond surprise and you have no idea how happy you made me," he said with a flash of light visible on his face. "Why didn't you tell me?" He hissed "I could have fetched you at the airport," he sounded pissed but not enough to convince me. I held my laugh as I find it funny "If I told you, it won't be a surprise anymore," I winked at him and giggled. We walked to

The two of them turned their heads to see us. Mom jumped in excitement when she realized it was me standing near the main door. She ran and hugged me tightly like it was so hard for me to breathe. The happiness on their faces was clearly visible. “Darling, may I see your ring?” mom was in high spirits. I did elevate my hands for them to see my classic diamond ring. My mom’s eyes widened on the exquisite band in my ring finger and both of them said congratulations in unison. "I didn’t know you like to suffer for two long years before braving yourself to confess,” Dad teased and patted Chadrick’s shoulder. The latter cleared his throat “Circumstances resisted us at that time," he paused for a second "I wanted to say sorry again for our actions that offended you before," he breathed out "But I’m thankful that finally, we are here,” he expressed as calmly as he could. “I could say that for her, that was a beautiful offense," Dad breathed out "Because it led

I felt ashamed and if my feeling could kill, I would definitely be six feet under the ground. I thanked God for giving me a cool mom but I never expected him to give me the coolest one. Or I might say the craziest mom one could ever have. I shook my head and buried my face in the palm of my hands. I was really tired after shopping with Mom. I went home and wallowed in a bubble bath while waiting for Chad to get home. I leaned my head on the headrest with my eyes closed and thought about the happenings in my life. Being happy was an understatement and what I felt is beyond it. It’s true that every relationship has its problems, but what makes it triumphant is if you still want to be together when things go wrong. I knew there were times that I’m actually hard to be with but still, he chose me. He fell in love with my childish behavior and I was really thankful that he kept me despite many reasons not to.

Chadrick carried and hugged her tightly because he missed her so much. When we were at the function, he wanted to go home early just to be with his daughter. "I missed you, my princess!

I was sitting on the couch watching a drama movie - as always because it's my favorite genre when I felt something wet and weird. Chadrick!!! I called my husband when I saw liquid dripping down my legs. He rushed to me and asked if something's wrong. I told him that my water broke and we need to go to the hospital. I could feel the contractions and pain and surely, it was time. He carried me bridal style to the car since the bag we prepared for my delivery was already placed in the compartment. "Are you okay?" he asked when we are in the delivery room because he saw me enduring an excruciating amount of pain. I was lying on the delivery bed sweating hard and wincing in pain with my face tear-stricken. Chad held my hand and planted a kiss on my temple. "Baby, I'm just here, we can do it," he whispered with encouragement. Doctor Howard instructed me to endure one long push and I took a deep breath before doing it. I held my husband's hand and my grip tightened

Six months passed our wedding and we were so busy doing our own thing. I managed to start my own flower shop business and hired a quite number of people. Chadrick has a lot on his plate because of his new projects but he never made it an excuse to not give me attention every day. Indeed, he learned his lesson before and I felt so happy about it. I was sitting on our bed with my head leaning on the headboard while watching a romantic drama movie. I could say that I'm enjoying crunching a bowl of popcorn. The bathroom door was pushed open and Chardrick got out in his towel after a quick shower. Surprisingly, I cried and he came closer in panic. "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly. I sniffed "The man in the movie cheated on his wife. Why do men cheat?" I was upset looking at him. He hissed "Baby, it's just a movie. Not all men are cheaters," he consoled and caressed my shoulder. "You men always say that but you're all liars," he stunned at my reaction. "You should

I felt so nervous standing in front of the church to walk down the aisle. When the door was pushed open, I started to move forward slowly. Mom and Dad were waiting in the middle for me to reach them and to escort me through the altar. All eyes were on me in my mermaid wedding dress which extremely fitted in my slender figure. The moment I stopped in front of my parents “I can’t believe my baby is getting married,” that was Dad. He was really emotional since the beginning of the day, unlike Mom who couldn't hold her grin in full excitement. When we were nearing the altar, I could see my entourage in full smiles and giggles. When I looked at Chadrick, his lips were trembling and his eyes brimming in tears. He was an undeniably handsome and charming groom in his three-piece suit. In front of him, Dad tapped his shoulder “It’s awkward that from now on, you’ll call your business partner, Dad,” he chuckled while Mom laughed beside me. The priest commenced t

She looked at me like she was hesitant to tell so I brushed it away and changed the topic. "So, how long are you working in the company?" out of my curiosity. "I was employed three weeks ago," she disclosed. I realized that was why she got scolding because she's crawling and not that expert yet. "Anyways, It's so nice to meet you, Faith," I pressed her hand softly "I guess we could be friends from now on," I smiled but she stilled. "I'll be visiting the office often and I'll see you around," I bid goodbye because I knew Chad is waiting for me. When I got back, I saw Chadrick standing beside my table. I smiled at him and asked if he's waiting for too long. He only replied for me to take my time. I picked up my bag for us to go but not before making sure the stuff of Helen was back in proper place neat and clean. Chadrick and I were walking out of the office with his hands at the back of my waist. I sighted some employees smiling at us and some were wishing a g

No one was able to answer him and they just bowed their heads. “What’s the problem here?” I know he sensed that something’s odd so he introduced me to them. “Everyone, this is Allesandra Taylor, my fiancée," he held my hand "she’s the daughter of Alex Taylor our business partner," he informed calmly. "I just want to let you know that we are getting married soon so you might see her often in this office," he added. All the people in the room were surprised to know me. The woman who was furious a while ago stared at me unable to form a word in disbelief. I saw her face was burning in embarrassment. I was hoping she learned her lesson to not judge people easily and be a good leader to her people. “Baby, you’re just here," he pulled me out of that room. "I thought something happened to you because you're not answering your phone,” he sounded worried. "Sorry I left my phone on my table" I apologized briefly. When we got back to his office, he tugged me to the couc

I hurriedly called Bella after reading her message and she quickly picked it up in two rings. "Spill the tea!" I sounded lively but I heard her breathed out. "Marco's girl left without a trace and he's devastated," she unveiled. We talked for few more minutes and I shared my observation about him before I left New York. I was right that he's in a dilemma over his woman. But I believed he could definitely overcome his pain and eventually move on because he's a strong person. *** It was my first day to assist Chadrick in his office and I find everything running smoothly. Whenever I felt like I needed to use a bathroom, I choose the one outside to refrain from seeing him in his office because we might end up kissing each other. Whenever I stepped inside his office, he couldn't stop himself away from me. I'm afraid we could get naked in no time and couldn't finish the work effectively. In the afternoon, I left him a message that I will go downstairs to get

"What is it, Helen?" he asked right away. She narrated that her daughter was rushed to a hospital because she's about to give birth. She said her due date will fall not until next week but it's happening so soon. Chadrick permitted her to take a break and help her daughter in the meantime because the husband was out for his navy duties. She thanked Chadrick for his understanding and compassion. She did not waste more time and left the office immediately. Chadrick sat down to his executive chair and sighed. Worry was clearly visible on his face "What's wrong?" I caressed his arm. He pulled me to sit on his lap "It's hard to work without Helen's help for two weeks," he sniffed on my neck. I hummed "I can help in her absence," I sounded playful. "Will you?" he pulled out from my nook and looked me intently in the eyes. "In one condition," I twisted my lips. "Baby, what is it?" he furrowed his brows. I smiled at him "Don't tell anyone about us," which made him frown. I tol
