"If someone by any chance sees me here serving people, I seriously don't know how to react, Cattleya. You know I am not used to this. I never even do this thing in my life.” Jaxson complained as he watched me set the tables."Come on, Jax. Your tired face won't lessen if you help even a little. You don't have to do it every day, just today." When I encourage him.He had been following me for a while and was only watching me put the sheets on the table even though he could have helped me."-Consider this as giving back to the people who do this for you. Like Aunt Elsie, you never heard her complain, did you?” I gently applied the plates and table design while continuing to convince him. I shifted my gaze to Jaxson and caught him staring at me. "Just help us, please? For me?” I stepped up my strategy and kind of did a puppy eyes as I waited for his response. "Yes!" I exclaimed happily when Jaxson took a step closer and grabbed the hem of the cloth I was holding."So, how do I do this th
Our kisses continued to deepen as we felt each other's body by caressing it with our hand. Jaxson's touch on my body is like a wood being thrown to the fire, making the sensation that I am feeling in my body rise up. His hand ran from my arms down to my chest. I felt my heart racing with its highest speed that very tender touch of his palm on mine. Slowly he moves as it makes space between our fingers and clutches my hand tightly.When we felt tired, we both let go of our kisses as we pressed our foreheads together with both grins on our lips and exchanged breaths.It took a few seconds before Jaxson slowly crawled his hand back to my chin and brushed his lips against mine very lightly and removed it in a fraction of seconds, teasing me to crave for his lips more. My hand motioned, returning it to the back of his head, caressing his hair as I kept an eye contact. I can see through his eyes the desire and obsession. I had my hands wrapped around him with my mouth hanging open, waiting
Silence enveloped the entire car.I turned my head to look out the window so that Manager Sol could not see my non-stop flowing tears streaming down on my face as I suppressed my voice from making any sound. I know that he already knows that I am crying now, but I still don't want him to see my tears.Even though we've been in the car for almost thirty minutes, the weight I am feeling in my chest still hasn't lessened and continues to linger. It is still as heavy as the moment Jaxson let those words slip out of his mouth and say it right in front of my face with no hesitation.I don't regret that I fell in love with him. I really don’t, and I don’t want to.I have no regrets for those moments when I am completely into him and ready to give the whole me, realizing how much I love him.But what I regret is that I believe Jaxson that he sees me as Cattleya. That he loves me the way I am even though it never came from his mouth. I thought he is different from his step-mother, but he sees
I stared blankly at the ceiling as I pulled the blanket up to my chest. A while ago I heard my phone ringing repeatedly but I didn't feel like answering it.I don't want to talk to him, I'm still hurt by the words he said to me.I almost rolled over in bed but still couldn't fall asleep. Every time I close my eyes, the only thing I remember are those words that keep echoing in my brain."I am Jaxson Madrigal, everybody knows me as the heir of Ruegold and you are just an ordinary girl."He is such a jerk for saying that.I felt the heat in my eyes again and the heat rising in my cheeks as I remembered those words more."I am Jaxson Madrigal, everybody knows me as the heir of Ruegold and you are just an ordinary girl."I thought he loved me...My phone rang again and this time I decided to pick up my phone that I threw on the bed earlier to check the phone screen.[Jaxson, Calling….]I didn't answer his call and instead just stared at his name on the screen."Jaxson..." I mumbled. “Jaxs
When Loren finally left, I was stricken dumb for a moment before I started to turn around and walk towards where Jaxson and Finn is waiting.I did not utter a word and silently approached them and they intentionally quit their conversation when I was finally able to draw near them so I did not have a chance to hear what they were talking about. They look very serious and I am wondering what it is.Jaxson's gaze just hovered over me before handing me the bouquet again without saying anything.My lips parted as I was about to talk to him, but I was astounded when he turned his back to me and walked away straight into his car. My lips slowly shut down again, baffled at what just happened. Is Jaxson mad at me?But, shouldn't I be the one who resents him?When he banged the door closed really loud without even saying anything, I just veered around my eyes to Finn with my mouth hanging open. “Couples really have some quarrel before the wedding so make sure to still show up at your wedding
“All of my documents and activities that I have to submit are already in this envelope Loren. I won't be able to go to university in the next few days, so you have to pass that on to the professor for me. ” I calmly spoke to him and then handed him the envelope I was holding. "I hope to see you tomorrow at the wedding."He smiled sparingly at me before accepting what I handed him.“I will be there. I don’t know where this is going but I am guessing that you need absolute protection. So, if you can send me your address after getting married with that Madrigal, I will make sure to visit you from time to time like how I always do. ” He gave me a smile again before shifting his gaze to Jaxson and Finn who were standing and talking not far away. “Just make sure that there is no asungot when I go to where you live. Tomorrow I know he will be there so I might bring earbuds. ”I laughed softly because of Loren's expression while looking at Finn.“He’s a great guy. How many times do I have to
"Elsie, is Jax already in his room?" When Matienzo avoided the conversation and turned his attention to Elsie who was in charge of the helpers. It entered the room to bring hot tea.“Not yet, Mr. Madrigal. Jax is waiting outside and he is sitting on the stairs. Shall I take him up to his room? ” Its polite answer as one by one lands the hot cup of tea on the table.“No need. I’ll be outside in a few minutes and send him to his room. ”Elsie just nodded before they left the room.“If you have a child with another woman, how did you manage to keep it to your wife, Ruella? Wasn't it treason you did to him? How can you keep everything of this to yourself without even telling him until his end? ”Matienzo Madrigal turned to him like an idiot and didn't seem to know what to do.“Your company is now slowly drowning Matienzo. When this news broke I was afraid of the eventual downfall of the Madrigals. People can think of this as a crime and the CEO of the company cheating on his wife and brin
[Cattleya]“Isn’t Lance also a victim of the situation ..?”“I also thought of that too. But Lance was only a victim of the situation when they were younger. Not until he grew up with her mother by his side and became evil. ” Finnley uttered before he checked his phone. “There’s more to it that I am left to tell. But, I don’t think I can today. ”My eyebrows furrowed because of what he said. I looked outside to see if it was dark outside and we were very engulfed in our story but not really and still bright outside."Why? The wedding coordinator hasn't called me yet. I still have time. What else are you going to tell me? ” I asked as I sipped my drink that I hadn’t yet consumed.“We can talk about it next time. But for now, to save my precious life, I have to take you back to him. ” He said as he rose to his seat.“Why are you in such a hurry. Maybe Jaxson isn't there yet and he's still doing some work. I'll just be left there when I— ”I couldn't continue what I was about to say when
