Kraius massaged his forehead while reading some paperworks he was holding. His grip on it was tight which almost torned the papers apart. Unable to bear it, he threw it on the wooden table just in front of him. "Shit!" Kraius cursed loudly, almost rumbling in his closed office. His secretary immediately entered and looked at him scrutinizingly under her thick glasses. “Anything you want, Mr. Montreal? Kraius' secretary asked him with a raised eyebrow. Kraius turned his gaze to her and seemed uninterested as he examined it from head to toe. The secretary raised an eyebrow at what he did but she didn't say anything. "Do you have nothing else to do but to be strict on me?" Kraius asked his secretary. He looked at her unbelievably and shook his head after. He then picked up the papers he had thrown on the table and read them again. "Fuck!" Kraius cursed once more. “Are you sure you don't need anything Mr. Mont-”“ Coffee, please! Dark coffee, ” Kraius refrained from saying anything.
Rhezi doesn't know how to react to what she has found out. She confirmed the news to the head of the law firm and got a headache. It is true that Kraius bought the firm as well as her new office is in Montreal Law. Rhezi felt heavy as she left the firm. At exactly five in the afternoon, she went out from work and drove her car to a pastry shop around Metro. Even though Rhezi's heart was heavy because of the misfortune she had during the whole day, she was still a bit relieved upon entering the shop. If there’s one thing that isn't totally lost with her, it's her penchant for eating a wide variety of cakes. Only, she just ate a sugar free kind of cake. After she bought Lava Moist Cake, she abruptly turned her back to leave. But everything she was about to do stopped when the woman she had not seen for a long time appeared. The sight in front of her made her heart throbbed in pain and longing. "Rhezi Baby ..." Rhezi got stunned while holding the cake she had bought. Her mouth fell
“Mr. Montreal, ask you to do this, Mrs. Bailey. ”Rhezi immediately looked up from crouching. Her sight instantly caught Kraius ’secretary. She was staring at her while holding the papers. She wears thick eyeglasses which she lowered so that she could see her well. “Excuse me,” Rhezi asked, confused. She also raised an eyebrow at Kriaus's secretary to which she also did the same. “Just do it, Mrs. Bailey, ” she muttered. She couldn't see even the slightest reaction. Rhezi just sighed and accepted the papers she handed her. While the secretary left immediately without even saying goodbye. Rhezi shook her head as she read the papers. Mostly about business details of the company he's managing. She threw away the paper after reading without hesitation and stood from her office desk given by the firm. It has also been a few weeks since she started working at Montreal Law. And it has been a few weeks passed too that she's annoyed because of the job given to her. Instead of a case, she
Kraius was at the center of the ring punching hard the bag that was in front of him. He was all sweaty but he didn’t care. His endurance was steady. His muscles were protruding in every move he made while his reflexes were fast, as if he was in a fight. Throwing hard and strong punches that made the bag bounce to its further distance. Kraius needed some steam to release his frustration from all the fucked up things that had happened to him, and boxing was one of his hobbies aside from Mixed Martial Arts. He was skilled and trained for his self defense aside from the fact that it was his way of maintaining his body health and his physique to always be in good shape. Kraius looked serious and deadly when his phone suddenly rang. His attention instantly shifted to the bag that hit his face hard. He cursed because of the impact it did and punched it after. It was as if through it, the pain it gave to his pretty face would fade. He even glared at it like it was someone he knew and that i
"Can't I pass this time?" "Rhez! You just became sexy and now you're acting like that! Remember, you have been absent from our gatherings for ten years! ” exaggerated answer of the caller on the other line. Rhezi scratched her head. She even pouted her lips and frowned. She was caught off guard from what Tin had said. It's true that she hasn't been with friends for a long time because of her missing-in-action scheme. She decided to tell no one, even her friends, where she really was. Even her having a child was unknown to them. Rhezi sighed and mumbled, Okay, okay. Just for this time only, okay?"“Yes!” Tin answered happily. Rhezi could do nothing but close her eyes and massage her temple when the call from her friend ended. She agreed on going to a party with them. A surprise party for Mina to be exact in a high end Club in BGC.She sighed and got up from the couch she was sitting on. She's in the living room and alone. Like in previous days, she doesn't know where Jericho has b
Kraius was eyeing Rhezi. He didn't even let go of his gaze on her as she walked away from him. It was glued on the woman emphatically on the receding figure while his fists were clenched. He was mad. It was obvious in his aura. He flinched when someone snaked in his arm. His eyes immediately squinted and quickly turned his looked at it. He instantly saw his current hook up. She smiled as her lips turned red because of the lipstick used. “You seemed angry. Is there a problem?" the woman asked. Kraius shook his head and made no attempt to answer it. His companion frowned and just led the young man to sit in the lounge where his friends were. They occupied the VIP area and all were obviously enjoying themselves. "Hi, K!" they greeted him. Kraius just nodded and didn't answer. When he finally sat down, he immediately looked around the whole place. The forehead was furrowed while his intent look was still very much evident. He was looking for Rhezi and immediately saw her sitting wit
Rhezi and Kraius were both out of control. She hardly knows how they got to Kraius's house in South Ridge Village. All she knew was that she would agree with him wherever he would take her to. They wasted no time when they finally entered Kraius' house. Kraius immediately kissed Rhezi when he closed the door. He also acted quickly as he lifted the woman and leaned her against the wall of his living room. They were both kissing each other hungrily. Kraius was not even able to turn on the light in his house. Rhezi wrapped her legs on Kraius ’waist while his strong arms were supporting her so she wouldn’t fall. While the girl's hands were tightly wrapped around his neck. "Ohh ..." Rhezi moaned in between their kisses. While Kraius slightly bit Rhezi's lip so that his tongue could finally enter the crevices of her mouth. When she moaned again, Kraius cupped her breast.Rhezi was still wearing her dress but Kraius managed to unzip it with his expert hand without parting their lips. The
Rhezi's back just landed on the bed without her realizing it. She opened her eyes to see Kraius, and his lustful and intense gaze bore into her. He doesn't even blink. His eyes filled with intensity as he looked at her while carefully laid her down. Rhezi's soft hair scattered on top of the bed. She was like a portrait in her facade. Her pointed nose that always looked proud and her tantalizing eyes that were paired with thick eyelashes. It complimented her pouty lips and her small face. She was undeniably gorgeous while underneath Kraius ’perfect body. "Do you know what day it is today?" Kraius asked in a husky voice that sent shivers to Rhezi’s being. He seemed to be seducing her as she could smell the scent of his breath. It was a mixture of wine and menthol. Fascinating and captivating. It was flesh-trembling and even knees. “I d-don’t know,” Rhezi stuttered. She bit her lower lip and looked away. She felt embarrassed for no reason. Meanwhile, Kraius chuckled softly. He bent
What does love really mean? When do we know that a certain emotion could be defined as love? How much could a person do and sacrifice for the sake of love?There were a lot of questions flooding Kraius' mind while watching Rhezi slowly walk along the aisle leading to the altar where he was standing. He smiled while his eyes bore unto her. His shoulders were shaking, too. His emotions were too much that he couldn't even stop himself from tearing up. At the same time, he was overwhelmed by the sight of her. Seeing Rhezi walking towards him, Kraius couldn't remember when was the first time he admitted to himself that he was in love with her. However, he could vividly remember when he first saw her smile and pout. That was also the first time his heart skipped a beat, the first time that made his head on a haywire, and the first time he said to himself that he was enchanted with her spell.Rhezi was so beautiful, wearing her vintage wedding gown. The man felt like he fell for her a litt
Rhezi instantly closed her eyes as Kraius' lips touched hers. The woman couldn't explain what she felt when he kissed her. It has been a long time since she wished to be kissed by him. However, fate wasn't on their side. She needed to leave to prove herself and her love for Kraius worthy.They were kissing like no one was watching them. Savouring each other's lips like their life depended on it. The sun that was kissing the sea seemed to be happy for them, too. Even the waves and the sand became one with their hearts, while the eyes that are on them were nothing but sparkling in happiness for the two reunited lovers.When Kraius ended the kiss, Rhezi almost chased his lips just to kiss him again. Her heart knew how she was yearning for him when she saw him standing by the altar, waiting the woman walking along the aisle. She cried at the sight but her heart was filled with happiness when he walked closer to her. "Seni özledim. I-I miss y-you so much, K-Kraius," Rhezi admitted. She wa
Kraius didn't even dare to blink. Even when Arruba finally arrived at the altar, he was still standing still like a statue. His eyes started to water. It seemed like his vision was imagining things again, because from the entrance where Arruba previously stood was Rhezi, shoulders shaking while staring at him. He even cursed himself when his hallucination worsened and saw her walking towards his direction. "What the fuck, man! Move!" He heard Andrius' shout.Kraius didn't understand what he really meant but his feet seemed to have its on own mind that it slowly moved. It slowly walked towards the figure. His vision was blurry but he didn't mind at all. He also didn't care if everyone saw him crying. He was hurting. He was confused. He was happy. Kraius' emotions were too much that when they met at the center of the aisle, he couldn't stop himself from sobbing. His shoulders were shaking too. You can call him gay for acting so, but he didn't care one bit. He cried in happiness, thoug
Seven years later. . . Where do broken hearts go?That has been Kraius' question to himself for the past few years. Love and it's consequences. Does it really have to be so painful and lonely that he couldn't even determine why he was still breathing? Does it really have to be unfair that it still kept on hurting him like hell?While overlooking at the vast ocean of Surigao, the man couldn't help but to curse consecutively. The emptiness and torment that he was feeling was just too much that he wished to stop breathing at all. However, he also wished that the thing that was keeping him sane would be granted sooner. That the impossible would be possible. Everyone knew him as a cheerful lawyrr, but behind his masked persona was an endless torture that his heart had gone through. Like the vast and boundless sea in front of him. The water may look fine and peaceful, but the waves of it still wanted to kiss the sand. To reach for each other despite everything pulling them apart."Are you
Rhezi had the most beautiful dream that night. She dreamed that Kraius and her got married privately. Just them and some close friends. It was a beach wedding and she was just wearing her usual jeans while Kraius was wearing his khaki shorts. It might be the reason why the sweet smile never left the woman's lips. It seemed true that her heart fluttered in happiness. When the woman opened her eyes, her heart beat accelerated and her smile widened when she felt a heavy thing right above her waist. She reached for it so that the embrace would tighten around her. Then, she turned to face him and saw the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on.His slow breathing fanned over her face but it didn't bother her. She stared at him intently as if her life and death depended on it. Her eyes traced and lingered onto every feature of his face, and it was still perfect in her sight. His striking pointed nose. His thick eyebrows that made him look intimidating. His perfectly shaped lips that s
Kraius didn't waste the moment. He released Rhezi from his tight hug and cupped her beautiful face. There were still tears in her eyes and he didn't waste time to remove it. He wiped her tears using the back of his hand, careful not to hurt the woman in the process. After that, he went closer to Rhezi and kissed her eyes softly.Rhezi immediately closed her eyes, feeling her heart beating erratically. She was hurt and by what she discovered and also guilty. However, Kraius' kisses affected her as the man kissed over her face until it went to her lips.The slow and soft touches of the man's lips on her felt like comfort saying that everything would be alright. That she shouldn't worry so much because he's here to fight for her. That she won't be hurt again because he'd love her without any inhibitions."Sshh, stop crying, Chubz. I hate to see you cry," the man whispered. His soulful brown eyes were on her. His eyes also displayed suffering, just like the woman's."K-Kiss me, Kraius. He
Kraius was busy reading papers when her secretary entered. The man immediately shifted his attention to her with furrowed brows. As usual, his secretary still looked very formal as she walked towards his table. She stopped in front of the table and the man raised his brows. "Someone wants to talk to you, Mr. Montreal," she informed.Kraius' forehead creased. He didn't expect any visitor so the confusion was evident in his face. He looked at his Piaget watch afterwards and smiled lightly. He felt excited and happy at the same time. His tiredness from the continuous work suddenly disappeared.The truth was, he was very eager to go home. It's been a few weeks since he brought his kids in his house, and he could say that there were no problem with the situation. They were a little bit not used to things but they eventually adjusted.His kids were all smart. When he told them the truth, they kept quiet and accepted him as their bioligical father. He cried when they first called him Baba.
Rhezi didn't know how she managed to arrive at Monterio Hotel. All she knew was that she desperately needed to be away from Jericho's mansio after he confessed his romantic feelings for her. She didn't see that coming. She was flabbergasted and along with that was the bitterness that swallowed her heart because of the betrayal of someone she trusted so much.She never thought that Jericho would trick her like that. Rhezi was completely believed that he was gay. She was lost when he was with her. She was vulnerable and broken. She ran away after he found her. The immense pain she felt made her forget the anger. Then, she ran away with him and ended all of her connection to her friends and family. Rhezi sighed as she remembered the memories. She was still unwell but she needed to keep herself sane. The woman was spaced out for a few minutes, just staring at the elevator button inside the building. She didn't know if she should go to that place, but in the back of her mind, she thought
Rhezi was smiling while watching the little boys playing around the vast garden of the Bailey mansion. Dos was swimming in their huge inflatable pool while his brothers were sliding on the huge slide that was connected to it. They were cheerfully giggling while playing with bubbles."Momma!" Dos called.The boy was already fine and treated after Kraius offered his bone marrow for him. After the boy was confirmed to have leukemia, Kraius didn't hesitate to do what he did. He also volunteered to give blood which the woman felt grateful for. She owed him a lot even though they were still not in good terms after they devoured each other that night. It has been two months since everything happened. Two months since Kraius and her have talked about what happened in the past. It has also been two months since they last talked to each other, only acting casually. Two months of accepting and healing. Two months since everything changed. "Momma! Do you want to join us?" Rhezi exhibited a lig
