Before Jonathan could curse out loud, he immediately ran to the window and went to call for Stefani. "Stefani!" He then realized there was actually a balcony and a ladder outside. Not feeling relieved enough, Jonathan climbed down and followed after Stefani, whose form soon became visible to Jonathan. It was only all thanks to Jonathan's long legs that he caught up really fast.
"Stefani! Come back here!" Jonathan called, running after the brat who kept going as if she was being followed by a dog.
"Don't follow me!" Stefani shouted back, voice in pain and anger as she ran even faster, her dress dancing swiftly against the wind.
Jonathan's breathing became more ragged and his chest pained along with the throbbing in his head. Why was Stefani making things so hard f
Stefani's eyebrows were furrowed as she sat at the edge of her bed; her hair a mess, her dark circles were darker than usual, and she was wearing a white sleeping dress, if anyone saw her they would probably think she was a ghost or a mental patient. "Young Miss, I've arranged the things you'll be needing for your trip tomorrow. You should go to bed, it's past ten," Rose called out but the younger didn't respond. Her mind was too preoccupied; she couldn't get what Rose was talking about. Rose sighed then turned to head out but was stopped abruptly by Stefani. "Wait! U-Um... Is Dad- Is Dad still awake?" "Yes, Young Miss. Why?" Rose was half smiling as she turned to look at the little kid. Whenever Stefani was sitting at the edge of her bed, staring at the floor with eyebrows furrowed, it only meant one thing: she was having a serious debate inside her mind. Stefani looked hesitant but then stood up and balled her fists. Without a word, she head
It was already lunchtime when Jonathan woke up. He forced himself to stand and change his clothes. He could've asked Stefani for some help but then, just that idea made his whole body heat up and his heart beating abnormally. It might be because of the fever, Jonathan thought. So in the end, for his and Stefani's safety, he decided to do the task alone.After struggling to go back to his bed, the door then opened and let in a blushing Stefani carrying a tray of food. "I-I made something. But if you don't want it I can buy-""I'll eat it," Jonathan cut the stammering young lady off and gave her a smile. Stefani blushed, immediately looked away, and hesitated for a few seconds before she sighed and placed the tray in front of Jonathan."You made this?" Jonathan asked curiously as he stared at the... the stuff Stefani brought. For the first time in his life, Jonathan wasn't sure what kind of thing his eyes were looking at."Y-Yes. But don't misunderstand!! I
One of the girls glanced in Jonathan's direction, her eyes went wide. "OMG, are you Jonathan Gonzalez?!"She began to speak and caught the other three girls' attention. They all looked at Jonathan in surprise then started pointing at him."Stef- It's Stef's fiancé y'all!!" They all shouted in shock and delight, Jonathan was confused for a moment there."Guys, I told you to be quiet-" Stefani came from the kitchen area, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets as she roamed her eyes around the now disastrous living room. "What the hell did you do!!!!"Jonathan bit his lip and looked at Stefani. He then grabbed Stefani's wrist who was still holding a bowl of popcorn, a girl quickly went over to them and snatched the bowl from Stefani."You're handsome just as I thought!" She, Bridget was her name, said to Jonathan and giggled which Stefani instantly glared at.Stefani was about to hiss and attack Bridget when she felt her wrist
Stefani struggled to attack Jonathan again but Jonathan was quick to hold her in place. Both were panting as Jonathan hovered above Stefani, pinning the aggressive younger's wrists above her head."L-Let me go!" Stefani wriggled under Jonathan."You... Why do you keep saying you hate me?" Jonathan frowningly asked with a low almost whispering voice, Stefani could feel his breath because of their short distance."I hate you because I hate you! Now let me go or I will really make your life a living hell!" Stefani was still mad about Jonathan who forgot he stole Stefani's first kiss."Why are you so mad about that kiss? It's just one simple kiss." Unfortunately, Jonathan was referring to the one he just did a few moments ago."Twice! You kissed me twice!" Stefani exclaimed, emphasizing the main reason she was mad about."I didn't. And why were you counting anyway?" Jonathan narrowed his eyes at the now blushing Stefani. Stefani wriggled, trying
"Oh, Nini, you're here too? ... What's this... what did you do to Stefani?" Jane, Jonathan's elder sister, has always been on Stefani's side. She hugged the still blushing Stefani all while looking at Jonathan with a hard and accusing stare.Jonathan, who was still wincing in pain, stood up and saw the two hugging each other. "Nothing. Why are you here?" Now there was another woman in his home, Jonathan wanted to flip tables. No wonder his phone irritatingly rang multiple times."Aw, this monkey's giving you a hard time, isn't he? Don't worry, Big Sister is here and will save you from the bad monkey," Jane cooed to Stefani whom she had always treated like a baby ever since they were kids. Jonathan was really an independent guy. Even when they were still young and Jane and Jonathan's parents were still alive, Jonathan had always been the person to do things with himself, not relying on anyone's help. Despite being the last child, he hated to be treated like a baby. So i
It was a Monday morning, the sun was brightly shining, different sounds could be heard: birds were chirping from the nearby trees outside, a barking sound of Alexander, Pacholo's precious dog, and the faint but hurried steps of the workers inside the mansion. But what really woke Stefani up wasn't any of these aforementioned sounds. Rather, it was a memory of a certain someone's lips and his low seductive voice."Stefani.""Stefani.""Stefani-~"Stefani frowned in her sleep then snapped her eyes open. She sat up and warily looked around. It had been two days since that kissing incident happened and it never failed to haunt her both in her dreams and reality.Stefani angrily punched her innocent bed like a mad puppy. She buried her face on the pillow, screaming curses, yelling about how she hates her fiancé."That monkey..." Stefani muttered as she got up and glared at nowhere. She then sighed and pouted as she stood and proceeded to get
"... and the official product release would be on XXXX. I, Jonathan Gonzalez, COO of the HE Corporation, together with the CEO Mr. Hernandez, and other officers, will be expecting each of you to attend the launch. That's all, good day."Everyone applauded respectively as the Chief Operations Officer, Jonathan Gonzalez, ended his speech. One of them was Ari, the woman who likes her boss secretly.Jonathan heaved out a sigh as he tugged his tie loose while glancing at the people around the table who were now getting up and heading out of the office. At last, the presentation has ended and he would only have to worry about its launch next week. He could finally breathe a little more once it was done.Well, not totally, considering he'd be engaged tomorrow... with the person who still hates him to the core: Stefani.It has been two days since they have last seen each other and even when Jonathan tried to call Stefani, Stefani would always either hang up or ye
It was finally the day of the engagement party.Different flowers were decorated around the garden of a five-star hotel, candle-lights in each of the round tables, food and drinks placed in long tables. There was even a pool at the side with a huge white cake near it for a more elegant-looking party. People in beautiful dresses and tuxedos scattered around the area with smiles on their faces."What a beautiful wedding," President Conti of an Oil Company said as he faced Mr. Hernandez with his butler at his side.If anyone would pass this area without an invitation, they'd surely think it was a wedding party instead of just an engagement one due to its extravagant atmosphere. All because it happened that Stefani's father was one of the richest men in the country, or maybe the world.Mr. Hernandez gave out a hearty laugh, "Sadly it's not a wedding... yet."Mr. Conti was surprised, "Really?" He ordered his own butler to hand the invitation card out ag
Jonathan, who was in his office, suddenly sneezed."Sir?" A subordinate gave a concerned look, the papers he was just handing to Jonathan remained mid-air. He immediately called for Jonathan's secretary but was stopped by the CEO himself."I'm okay," Jonathan said, expressionless as he received the papers and ordered for the man to leave.Why did it feel like someone was badmouthing him just now?Shaking his head, Jonathan went over the papers on his desk, checking and signing what needed to be signed. It had only been a year since Mr. Hernandez officially retired, deciding he would travel the world and be happy as Stefani wished him to be while handing the CEO position to his son-in-law.Jonathan hims
"We graduated but why does it feel like I'm more restrained now? Is college really hellish like this?" Bridget complained as she aggressively took big sips from her milk tea then began typing back on her laptop.Ivy rolled her eyes and commented, "It's because you took a hard major. Look at Dianne, Christina, and me. We enjoy our activities the most these days. It's like we're still in high school~""Right, we're having a theater play in a few months. Don't forget to free your schedules on that date," Christina said, then began eating the strawberry cake on her plate."What? That's unfair!" Bridget pouted. While these girls were busy arranging some stage props, here she was typing some five-page essay for tomorrow. Such injustice!After graduation, the circle of friends
With her aching to the point of not feeling anything especially on her lower body, Stefani knew she couldn't do the water park activities as scheduled on the guide.No matter how much she thought of it, Stefani felt Jonathan was extra vigorous last night. She couldn't help but think of the reason for such actions. Was he provoked or teased too much? No, it wasn't this. Was it the food then? Or was it the ambiance's fault?Stefani, this simple-minded person, would never know that it was only due to Jonathan's repressed lust from the past acting up at the present that made such things happen.Jonathan, the past pent-up guy, stared at his adorable wife’s facial expressions and was greatly amused. He immediately admitted his faults and patiently tried to coax her, "All right, I'm sorry. Let's do the it
After marriageStefani was panting hard, her face flushed in deep red as Jonathan kissed her again and again. There was something in the way Jonathan gazed at her, almost sickeningly full of love and desire, as if everything that's in front of him was all he ever needed."One more time," Jonathan whispered to Stefani huskily, his hot breath brushing against Stefani's sensitive skin as he gave light kisses on Stefani's face down to her neck and shoulders.The sound of water splashing and flowing continuously outside penetrated the walls of the hotel room, making Stefani's head more relaxed and mushy as she stared at Jonathan, face hot and red, she nodded, "Mm."Jonathan's eyes glinted in ecstasy, he smiled as he leaned down. Their lips connected in a
Jonathan just finished his bath when he stepped into the kitchen. The sun had already risen, sunlight peeking through the neat white blinds of the living room, the view outside was clear and pleasing to look at. Brewing himself a cup of hot coffee, Jonathan began to read the news from his tablet.After a few minutes, he glanced at the time and stood up, heading to the guest room. Inside, a few random objects were placed everywhere. Quickly, Jonathan picked up the things scattered on the floor and arranged them all neatly and orderly. He then glanced at the bed. Stefani was still sleeping, completely unbothered by Jonathan's arrival and movements.Jonathan took his time to open the blinds by the window and went over Stefani. He gently touched Stefani's arm, "Stefani, wake up."Stefani's only response was
"What? Say it clearly," Christina said."I-It was a-a-amazing," Stefani said while flushing hard.The girls giggled at that and one of them had a follow-up question quickly! "How so? Wouldn't it be painful at first?"Stefani could feel her face becoming redder and redder as she tried to recall her "first night" with Jonathan. She herself thought it would be painful and unbearable, but then she discovered if properly prepared and done well, there would be less pain and more pleasure. Contrary to the thirst and desire that flashed through his eyes, Jonathan had been gentle from the start until they finished. He prepared Stefani well that Stefani didn't feel any pain at all.Or maybe her husband was just a real expert on that kind of act.
"Don't move too much," Jonathan ordered to his wife as Stefani gave him her famous death glare. This time, though, the glare became a weak stare. Jonathan placed his hand on Stefani's forehead and sure it was, the younger's fever had risen by another degree celsius.The phone on the bedside table vibrated and Jonathan sighed as he stood up to get the device.While glancing at his sick wife on the bed, the New HE Group CEO answered the phone. "Yes. I'll send it in a few. What? Okay. Tell me the details."Stefani's face was all red from the fever and opened her lips, "Just go..."Jonathan frowned, contemplating what to do. "I can't leave you here in a state like this."Even in her fever, Stefani still managed to get mad, "It's
Ari's heart pounded loudly as her back felt the cold brick wall behind her. The four strange bitchy looking girls in high school uniform looked at her in disgust. One girl chewed her gum and mannerlessly spit it out to her right.Are they a gang or what? Ari began to panic."Look here, Miss. That Gonzalez guy is engaged." Ari gasped in shock. Is Jonathan Gonzalez really engaged? With whom?Another girl stepped in and looked at Ari in pity."Pitiful. I bet you've tried seducing Gonzalez a lot of times.. and failed," they all laughed in mockery and Ari's chest twisted in pain."Y-You're wrong! My feelings for him are pure! I-I.. I've always liked Sir Jonathan. Even if he always looks serious but he's approachable and nice," Ari
Months before the wedding.Stefani barged inside Jonathan's room with a frown."Did you have another nightmare?" Jonathan looked at her in concern.Stefani shook her head, still with a frown. "I-I... I don't think I can sleep tonight."Jonathan nodded his head. He already knew after the movie, Stefani would be too scared to sleep on her own."That's why I told you you can sleep here with me," Jonathan said nonchalantly, eyes still in his book. When he heard nothing from the younger, he placed his book down then motioned the younger to come to space next to him.Stefani blushed hard and started yelling. "L-Like I would do that!! You pervert!"
