Chapter 56

The night sky also seemed deeply asleep, but the stars brought it to life for me, making me believe the night wasn't truly asleep. The night was fully awake.

There was a window here in the last stall that Lazarus and I entered. He opened the wooden window after helping me put on my clothes before he put on his own. He lay down again on the straw to rest for a moment and gazed at the beauty of the night.

I lay down beside him, and he offered his broad chest as my pillow. I could almost hear his heartbeat if I pressed my ear closer.

It's dark inside the stable, but there's light in each stall, so Lazarus illuminated our location. There's light for the entire stable, but we didn't want to risk being seen.

Instead of gazing at the stars, I placed my arms on top of his broad chest, rested my chin on my hand, and stared at his face as if I were trying to memorize even the tiniest, unnoticed flaws.

I was in a prone position facing him. I saw him smirk before shifting his gaze from

    Chapter 57His handsome face was facing the most private part of my body, and his pointed nose almost touched it. I was calm because I was still wearing my pants. He wouldn't strip me right away. My thighs almost touched both sides of his cheeks; his head was nestled between my thighs."How many do you want?" he rubbed the tip of his pointed nose against the private part of my body and even inhaled it. "Name it, baby. We'll start right away."I looked up, closed my eyes tightly, and bit my lower lip when I felt the heat building up down there even though I was still wearing pants."St-Stop—let's change the subject. Get up," I couldn't help but grip his dark hair and gently pull it away, cutting off his caress, then I looked up at him. "Is there a pharmacy nearby?"He scowled at my sudden action and just placed me back appropriately on the seat.I sighed in relief. Now that I was sitting properly in the front seat, I could relax. Earlier, I almost fell because of my position, and his f

    Chapter 58Lazarus had already planned our stay here. He told me we'd spend a week at Senyor Saturnino's hacienda, then we'd go to the falls he mentioned to Luzon.He also mentioned that a resort had recently opened near those falls. They built it because many people travel just to jump into the falls. He said the resort was quite large, similar to the beach resorts I've seen.I hadn't heard of a falls resort before, but I suppose if I were to marry a billionaire like Lazarus who enjoys taking a bus and commuting, it wouldn't be impossible.Yes, he's a billionaire. But I can sense that he wants to live a simple, normal life like everyone else. Why does he choose to commute when he can afford the most expensive car?Sometimes, he's a puzzle I'm eager to solve.Our stay at the falls resort is also just one week. So, a total of two weeks, and then we'll return to Manila. I know there's a beach here, but it's quite far from the hacienda. Lazarus mentioned that we'll also be attending thei

  • The Billionaire Rejected Me    Chapter 59

    Chapter 59I was wearing a thin white long-sleeved shirt, tied at the front, and denim shorts. Lazarus strongly opposed me wearing this thin shirt, thinking it looked too transparent and my black lacy bra could be seen, but he couldn't do anything when I reminded him of all his wrongdoings towards me. Fortunately, he understood.It's not like my shirt was that thin anyway. He's just overreacting.We arrived and saw the falls from afar. It wasn't particularly wide, but it was spectacular, bright, and scenic. It was surrounded by heavy, large rocks. I could smell the slight salinity of freshwater from the falls as the water cascaded down from an elevated part of the ground, creating a rippling sound.The owner of the resort deliberately cleared some trees near the falls because there were small cottages nearby. The path here was paved, and there were numerous trees lining the road, making it feel like we were in the middle of a forest, though it was relatively close to the main road.We

    Chapter 60We didn't stay at the falls resort for more than a week. Right from the first day, they insisted that we return to the hacienda. Lazarus forbade me from swimming again. He said it's fine as long as he's with me, but they were adamant about going back to the hacienda.I tried to convince him, "Lazarus, you already paid this resort for our one week stay here. You shouldn't waste what you've spent.""We're leaving for sure. Yesterday, you almost drowned, and now this?" he lectured, pointing to my elbow, which had a bandage on it. "We're going back to the hacienda. I don't want to linger here."They didn't even bother folding the clothes; they just stuffed them into the suitcase. We didn't take out many clothes anyway; it was only our second day here.As for the bandage on my elbow, it was just a small wound. Earlier, he allowed me to swim in the falls, but I almost slipped on a rocky part while climbing a large rock. I instinctively used my elbow to brace against a rough stone

    Chapter 61I turned off the faucet and looked at her. There was a trace of insincere pity on my face."But I was scared too, you know?" I couldn't hold back my anger any longer, and I wanted to hurt her. I'm not a violent person, and I didn't understand why I was feeling this way. "But I faced it. You're responsible for what happened, and I'm the one who paid for your sins.""You just don't understand—""What? What don't I understand?" My voice was getting harsh, and I didn't give her a chance to talk or finish her sentence. "I didn't know that it was really ecstasy? Of course, you made a fool out of me."She closed her eyes and sighed before looking back at me."I planned it," she said, struggling to speak but continuing nonetheless. "I planned everything. I deliberately destroyed my cellphone. It functioned only minutes after you used it, and eventually, it stopped working. It just so happened that you were the one using my phone when it stopped working, so I blamed you and ordered

    Chapter 62It seemed like a whirlwind, and Kiana's words didn't immediately register in my mind. Everything was a blur, and I wished she could repeat it, hoping for clarity. She was vehemently pointing at Lazarus, implying that he was the one who used and deceived me.Unpredictable events unfolded during a time when we were supposed to be healing.I used to think she was the sole reason for my shattered life. I blamed her for leaving me after revealing that the substance I mixed into Lazarus' drink was actually ecstasy. I couldn't bear the thought of the potential harm that might come to Lazarus if I didn't stay to help him through the effects of the drug.I took on all the responsibility. Now, at such a young age, I carried the weight. If those events hadn't shattered my life, I'd be with my parents in Canada, enjoying a lifetime of freedom.It would have been fine, Kiana being the only one to blame, but apparently, it wasn't just her.I asked myself, what had I done to deserve this

    Chapter 63It's not my fault that I refused to listen to his explanation. I was afraid he'd concoct a story and make me believe it.How many times have I been made a fool? His words were so convincing back then.I didn't speak, but he continued anyway."It's true, I broke up with Francesca on the very day before that incident with you mixing ecstasy in my drink," he said it without a second thought.Somehow, I saw the determination in him. Ready to face the consequences of his mistakes. But for what? Did he even care if I got mad at him? If yes, why?"I followed you when I saw you leaving the university that day. You went to the pharmacy. You came back to campus and headed straight for the old restroom for girls that wasn't used much anymore. I heard you crying while talking on the phone," he was so careful with his words to avoid triggering my anger again. "I found out you were pregnant, so I got into a relationship with Sammantha. I wanted to keep you away, not because I didn't want

    Chapter 64"Ma'am?"I shifted my gaze towards the soft voice coming from behind me.The girl was wearing a black uniform. I think she's working here as a janitor because she's holding a mop and a bucket of soapy water."Why did she sleep here?" I asked in a weak tone. Somehow, I didn't want to disturb Lazarus' peaceful sleep.He's exhausted from all the harm I caused him, and so am I."It's her fourth night sleeping here. Sir Lazarus's cousins advised him to use one of the other vacant rooms, but he refused," she explained gently, glancing at Lazarus, who was still asleep. "I'll go ahead, Ma'am. There's some cleaning to do."The cleaning lady carefully passed by where Lazarus was sitting and sleeping.I wanted to prolong my anger and make Lazarus face it, handle it as best he could. I wanted him to pay for it, to earn my trust again. My feet wanted to turn around, go back inside the room, and just ignore him, but my hands were acting differently.Maybe her neck was starting to ache? P

Lazarus' calm voice revealed impatience and desperation to find out what was wrong with me."N-No..."He seemed to finally lose patience with me, which is why he kissed me on the lips hastily, repeating it over and over. It was intense and warm despite my continuous sobbing and our lips, both swollen, pressed together.He rested our foreheads together, catching his breath from the intense kissing even though I didn't kiss him back because I was preoccupied with crying."What do you want, hm? I'll buy it," he said, then bit my reddened and swollen lips firmly."I-I want... Yubari King Melon," my voice still trembled as I held my not-so-large baby bump."What's that?" he asked quickly, seeming very eager to know what I wanted to eat so he could buy it right away."I-It's a melon, Lazi...""How much?"I hesitated to tell him the price, especially since he would have t

She had found out about what happened when I was just sixteen years old, that he raped me, and that's why he hadn't asked me to marry him yet. He wanted to clear everything before he'd let me into his troubled life.I was not raped.It was my fault that it happened.The ecstasy. If I hadn't mixed the drug in his drink, then it wouldn't have made sense for him to take my virginity.He was drugged; ecstasy was irresistible when it had full control of a person's body. I knew some effects of ecstasy that a person might experience.Including paranoia, aggression, and psychosis. And more.Muscle aches and stiffness, increased energy and confidence, sweating, increased body temperature, feelings of closeness to others, dilated pupils, loss of appetite, heightened sensations.

I can't stay away from him."Lazarus. There are ten more sacks of rice outside, please bring them inside," said my old lady boss who owns a small rice shop."Is there anything else?" I asked even though my clothes were soaked with my own sweat. "I still want to work.""Don't worry, son. I'll increase your salary in two," he said before going inside.I worked.

"Come on in!"the softness and smoothness of his skin when I first touched his arm.I want to experience what happens to us in my dreams. I want to see her innocent face wince in pleasure and pain.It was amazing when he followed my wishes without complaining.My body grew hotter as if it had a mind of its own and knew that the woman I was fantasizing about was very close.I took her to the condo because it is illegal to let women into the dorm. the condo that belongs to my father but I will make sure that next time I will take him to my own condo."Lie down," my eyes lit up as I let him into the room and pointed to my bed.the bed was just behind him and he just felt like I wanted to push him begging and he looked at me innocently.Those innocent eyes.

I was standing in front of his study table while he was sitting in his chair and wearing reading glasses. Reading some files and reports.what comes out of the contour of his tongue is not funny. I think he still has plans to control my future.I have no dreams. I don't know what course I will take in college."Dad, why not Laki? O Kuya Law, he's the eldest. he should be the next one to run the company," my voice was full of fake respect. I tried to respect him.I know none of my siblings are interested in running our family business.Money could fuck our lives up."Laki don't take business seriously and Law wants to proceed law after graduating a four year course in college," he reasoned, pushing me more and forcing me to follow his footsteps."How about Kry?""She's too young... and stubborn," he shook his head slightly as he continued to read the reports

I don't know but even though it's cold here, I'm getting too hot.After a few minutes, I could feel his tongue becoming violent and angry. He was licking and sucking it as if my juice was coming out like a condense.My lips parted and I didn't realize I was moaning, calling his name.I gripped the sack of rice beneath me when I felt his tongue had found its way to get inside. My back was bent because of what he was doing.His tongue was a punisher.I gripped his soft and strong hair like how I grip the sack of rice beneath me with my other hand. I was almost there and he kept thrusting his tongue in and out of me.I felt my whole body tremble when he took me out and only used his tongue.My whole body was still sweating, panting and shaking when he climbed onto the sacks of rice that served as our

    Chapter 104I saw Senyor Saturnino's expression darken. "I won't allow Laki's child to become my grandchild," he groaned.Perhaps he knew that Laki's children would be even more troublesome than Lazarus' if ever that rascal had kids. If Luzon had a delicate way of pronouncing the letter r, baby Praise had a slang way.Almost all the dishes of pork and chicken were already served on the large table in the grand dining room of the hacienda."Grandpa, can't we really do it?" I heard Lazarus ask beside me.He'd been asking about something I had no clue about since earlier. Maybe it was something only he and Senyor Saturnino knew."No, my dear," Senyor Saturnino promptly replied before taking a sip of water. "It's not allowed here in the hacienda or in your room."I have no idea what they're talking about so I just focused my attention to baby Praise, wiping some oatmeal off her pinkish chubby cheeks.Luzon was noisy and kept on calling Nayda to prepare his fried chicken for later.

She, she's the reason why all of those bad and painful things happened to me. She's also the reason why I was where I was.Kiana had told me last week about her condition and informed me of everything she knew, including the location and name of the mental hospital where Samantha's mental health was being monitored safely.I wanted to face her now because this afternoon, Lazarus and my children and I will be leaving for Compostela Valley, to his Grandpa's hacienda.I left the three of them in our house, instructed them to pack our things, and told Lazarus where I was going. As a Cavanaugh, he insisted on coming with me, but I rejected his offer.Who knows what Samantha might do if she sees Lazarus' disturbed face. I doubt she's forgotten

    Chapter 102"Call me 'tita' for now. Just tell me if my asshole, pussy, fucked up, moron husband tries to blackmail you."Unbelievable, but she treated me the same as before. Very straightforward. Initially, I had a different impression of her based on some words she said.The words a person uses can define them, but it's not always true.It reminded me of the people I encounter on the streets. Just because they're angry and not in a good mood, it doesn't mean they're bad people.I should have gotten to know them first. When I did, I wouldn't judge them based on what they seemed to be.Never judge a person without knowing the story of their past.We talked for half an hour. I fervently prayed that baby Praise wouldn't say any bad words, but unfortunately, she did. In front of Tita Ysa.I thought she might get angry and scold me for allowing my child to say those things, but no, she laughed and looked surprised instead. She even asked baby Praise to say it again. She's impossible.She
