Adrienne didn't know why, but she also started to get angry like Pedro. She couldn't accept being accused again by the man she loved. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet here she was being treated as if she had."What is this again? I haven't done anything wrong! So what if I'm with Ethan? Is it forbidden for me to have friends now? Do you always have to think the worst of everything?" she retorted, incredulously looking at the man.Pedro sat on the bed, lost in his own thoughts. "I'm afraid of losing you. Yes, I can get everything I want, but I can't always have the people I love."She still wasn't convinced. "Why? Do you already love me? Pedro, you haven't even courted me yet, but even so, I hope you can at least trust me. Haven't I always told you—I'm not the type of woman who loves just anyone!""Pedro, Sir, boss, or whatever I should call you. I have loved, will love, and have loved you for ten or more years. Since we were in college, you've been in my heart. I worked hard to get
Their secret relationship with Pedro was going smoothly. She was more than happy, satisfied, and contented. She was always content with whatever they had together with her boss. Even though she wanted more, she valued what they had right now. This opportunity was a luxury for her.Unlike before when Adrienne used to go to Coffee Corner before being picked up by Pedro at her condo unit, now they would enter together early to avoid suspicion. They were still in a discreet relationship."Do you want coffee?" Adrienne asked when they entered the office."Kiss? Can I have a kiss instead?" Pedro mischievously replied.She lightly slapped him. "You know what, you're too much! Weren't you satisfied earlier at the condo unit?" They had already done something miraculous in the early hours of the morning.Pedro winked at her, making her blush. Despite there being something between them, her feelings for him hadn't changed."I will not say sorry just because I cannot get enough of you," Adrienne
Pedro momentarily left Adrienne alone at their table. He approached his cousins, first tapping Keith's shoulder. Keith was as tall and imposing as him, and he was also a billionaire and an heir to a multi-million dollar automobile company."You're here, Keith," Pedro greeted him with emotionless eyes."Yeah, you too. Tired of chasing the only lady of the Lopez clan?" Pedro teased, causing his cousin to clench his fists."Leave me alone... Why did you approach me here?" Keith asked. "Don't tell me you're looking for someone? We're not together anymore, your crush and I."Pedro's face darkened. He used to have a thing for Logan’s sister."I don't care about that woman anymore. I like someone else...," Pedro arrogantly stated."Oh yeah? I should applaud you for your effort, hiring a girl to boast that you've already moved on?" Keith retorted."Shut up! I love her, even if our relationship is a secret. I just wanted to tell you so you won't bother me at the next annoying reunion," Pedro s
ADRIENNE plans to spend her day off at her house, wasting her time relaxing and watching movies on her laptop. She doesn't have anything to do today, so she still feels hesitant to bother Pedro, even though they've been dating for several months. As a girlfriend, she also wants to respect his time as her boss slash boyfriend.Since she doesn't have any commitments for the day, she plans to get out of bed later in the afternoon. However, her peaceful sleep was interrupted by a loud knock on her door."Who could be so rude as to disturb my day off?" Adrienne wondered in her mind.With messy hair and still dressed in her sleepwear, Adrienne opened the door. She immediately regretted it and was surprised to see Pedro standing there. He was all dressed up while she looked like Cinderella's maid."Sir?! What are you doing here?" she asked, filled with fear. She was worried that he might be turned off by her appearance.Without saying a word, Pedro entered her living room. Adrienne remained
Pedro woke up with a smile on his face. Aside from sleeping with the woman he loves last night, waking up beside her in the morning is the best feeling he has ever experienced.He faced Adrienne's peaceful and sleeping face, her innocent expression making him feel ecstatic. He never gets tired of waking up to this kind of morning; it's the best feeling he has ever had.Pedro's day would have been perfect if his friends didn't disturb him early in the morning by knocking on Adrienne's bedroom door. He hissed and marched towards the door, wanting to skin the men alive on the other side."Get up, you lazy bums! You can have kids later!" Kurt shouted."Feed yourselves before you start eating each other!" Gabriel added.Annoyed, Pedro opened the door and was greeted by his grinning friends. They were about to say something when he stepped out and slammed the door shut."Why are you still here?! Go home! You troublemakers!" Pedro yelled at them.Gabriel chimed in, "Seriously! You're talking
Adrienne was happy; she started her day with joy. Being with her boss, who is now her boyfriend, brings her unmatched happiness.She was cleaning the living room when she accidentally knocked over a vase. She became anxious and had a bad feeling about what happened. It felt like something bad was happening amid her happiness. She believed that every happiness comes with a price.She tried to ignore the uneasiness she felt but couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about Pedro and if something happened to him.She called Pedro, but he didn't answer her calls. He was always out of reach, which made her more anxious."Why don't you answer my call?" she worried to herself.She started sweating, feeling cold, and couldn't sit still. She didn't like this feeling.She turned on the TV and couldn't believe what she saw on the news.Adrienne felt betrayed at that time. From noon until night, her mind couldn't rest. She might have understood if Pedro had come to her and explained what was happen
Adrienne found herself in a restaurant. It seemed like an expensive place. She felt nervous and tense because the two women who were causing her agony were right in front of her.Carmela smiled gracefully but viciously. "I reserved this five-star restaurant for the day. I didn't want others to see us tormenting you. It's nice that you actually accepted our invitation today. Order as much as you want; maybe it's the first time you'll eat in a place like this, right? I wouldn't be surprised since you're just a peasant," she said with a tone full of insults.Adrienne felt hurt, and she wanted to fight back, but what would be the point? She was already defeated, and it felt like they were just reminding her that she was a loser and would go home in tears.Adrienne noticed the devilish smirk on the faces of the two beautiful women in front of her. Their behavior didn't match their appearance at all."Just leave her alone, Aunt," Logan’s sister said with a grin. She was the perfect descript
Adrienne's heart was overwhelmed by the brevity of one week to fully love Pedro. Seven days were simply too short to create the memories she longed to carry with her when she eventually left.Her emotions weighed heavily on her, causing great pain due to the extreme loneliness she felt. It was already Sunday morning, but Adrienne still couldn't sleep throughout the night, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her imminent departure.Later that evening, she would see Pedro again. Yesterday, they spent the whole day together, cherishing every moment. Pedro, however, had no inkling of her plans to leave. Adrienne couldn't bring herself to say it, but she knew it was his right to know, and she planned to tell him that very evening.Unable to sleep, Adrienne got up and opened her closet, taking out her luggage. As she began packing her clothes, she felt like there were no tears left to cry.Suddenly, there was a knock on her condo unit door, and she opened it to find Cathy, Indi, Miko, and
