.

Spare me, oh God.

I looked at Hendrix, annoyed at what he just did. We're back now at our usual spot. Like always, he shut this area exclusively for us. The food on the table appeared appetizing, but I had lost my appetite long ago. His mother's sharp words played like a broken wireless inside my brain, and I just wanted to sleep and go home.

"Louise…"

I blinked and looked at him again, cutting off from what I had imagined.

"Eat, Louise, and we will talk after this, " he ordered, putting food on my plate.

"How could you say that to your mother?" I said calmly.

He paused, sighed softly, and tightened his jaw. "I don’t know what my mother has told you, Louise, but it’s best not to follow her advice."

"She doesn't like me at all." I jerked my head up and chuckled slightly. I can't believe I'm telling this to him now.

"It's my choice. Your mother wants a wife that belongs to the royalty, Hendrix, and that's not me." My shoulder sagged.

He dropped his fork, and it made a loud

    Louise Rose.I tilt my head back and hold onto the side of the mattress. I can see stars. Hendrix kisses me down there, putting my entire body into flames. I could only hold back my orgasm for a little while as it came quickly."Fucking wet, babe." He hoarsely said, rising below and crawling back on top. He kissed me, and I could taste my arousal. He parted my legs using his knee, settled in between, and slowly pushed inside me."Hendrix…" I moaned, feeling all the stars again. My nails dug into the back of his skin when he started to thrust.It was rapid, full, and addicting.There's no better way to express what my body wants, as Hendrix can clearly see our desire for each other. I know this is crazy, but I couldn't stop him from wanting me. I couldn't stop this either, as it happens naturally with us.Earlier, I was thinking of how to get away from him, but here I am underneath him, and we are fucking. I tried to open a conversation, but it seemed like he knew that it was coming f

    Louise Rose.Now I know.So, Hendrix's mother met Rosy and asked about me.What's her problem with me? She’s driving me crazy, and I will not back down. She wants me out of her son’s life? Oh well, that’s impossible now. I will not give up, not until Hendrix gives up first.I kept pacing back and forth, troubled by the situation. Shella was looking at me in silence, eating junk food.I had a good time with Rosy today. We had a picnic in the garden, and she loved it. She got tired after that and wanted to sleep, so we concluded the day for us, but I will be back tomorrow for lunch again."Stop walking back and forth, Louise. I'm getting fogged," she rolls her eyes backward at me."As I've said, ignore her majesty. She's hard to please, and I heard that she's bipolar. Tsk..." She jiggled her head.I halted in front of her and placed my hands on my hips. "Hendrix has a little bipolarish in him, too, but not bad," I said, twisting my lips.She laughed again. "But you still love him. Boys

    Hendrix.What the hell?Steph hugged me tightly, and I tried to move away, but I was cornered."I miss you so much! I'm glad you're here, Hendrix," she whispered, holding onto me tightly."Steph… hang on," I said as I tried to escape her. I was still holding my phone, and Louise was still on the line."Hey, Louise, can I call you back later, babe? Bye," I sighed and ended the call. Steph's hugs were suffocating."Oh? Are you on the call with someone?" She relaxed a little and sat down on my lap, wrapping her arms around my neck. I checked my phone screen to ensure it was off."I need to…" I pushed her gently and stood up. I walked toward the door, eager to leave my office. My two secretaries stood at their desks and looked at me. I gave them a questioning glance, and Santa nodded toward me."Don't give the girls a hard time, sweetie. They already told me that you are on an important call, but I want to surprise you. There's nothing wrong with that, right?" She follows me closely as I

    Louise Rose.What was that? I was sure I heard someone in the background calling him sugar cups?I twisted my lips, looking confused at the dead screen. I sighed as I spun back to what I was doing.I'm at the flower shop in front of Canor's convenience store. Shella has done a lot of work lately, and she's loving it here. She will be staying here in Eden from now on and will officially resign from her previous job. Her fiancé is fine with it. In fact, he believes it's better for them to be this close.It's past five in the afternoon, and it's closing time soon. Rosy seems tired lately, and they can't get her to stay awake after five. The nurses told me that her medication makes her very drowsy and causes her to fall into a deep sleep.I wonder what's wrong with her? I was sure it wasn't that bad. Her doctor mentioned that she’s fine and will get better soon, but the findings are puzzling, given Rosy’s age.I turn the lights off and shut the shop's door. I still have an hour to prepar

    Hendrix.She’s addicting like a drug. It’s hard to get her out of my system. I become an animal in bed whenever I’m with her. She can transform me into a .naughtbad guy for sex, and it blew me away. I enjoy it. It has never happened to me before. Everything is new, and I’m loving it with her.I thrust slowly, easing in an inch more, and her body rocks forward. “That’s it, love,” I jerk my head a little, quivering.“Can you feel how badly I need you?” I bit my lower lip, and we stared.“Yes…” She shut her eyes, and her head fell back the moment I thrust into her deeper.This is wild. I’m inside her, full, tight, and magical. I kiss her aggressively, and I fucking struggle with control. I don’t want to come yet, not yet. I want her to go first. I want to do that.“Come for me, baby.” I thrust further, and she whimpered into my mouth."Hend…oh…I need more, please.”I smile wickedly, licking my lips. “And you will get it, baby.” Holding her waist, I lift her slightly and begin my ride.

    Louise Rose.I couldn't stop myself from smiling. I'm over the moon and hope this happiness will never end soon. But am I afraid of changes? They say you can't be thrilled about much happiness because there's an aftereffect of that.I never believed in that, but now that I'm experiencing this feeling, I'm scared that it may turn bad.I crossed my fingers behind me as I looked at Rosy. She's beautiful today. I visited her early to make sure that she was okay. I can't visit her in the afternoon now, as she gets tired quickly."You are so beautiful, Rosy. I admit you lost a lot of weight, but still pretty as always." I touch the side of her face. She had wrinkles everywhere, and her eyes were soggy. But still, she is the most beautiful in my eyes."Oh, thank you, dear." She sounded weary and had a raspy voice, and her cough gave her a hard time. It sounded so bad."What did your doctor say, Rosy? I want to talk to him. It seems like you're getting thinner each day, and I don't like it."

    Louise Rose.A beauty like no other. There are no similarities between them, but I can tell how close they are to each other. Their closeness is undeniable.“Oh please, Hendrix. Don’t be so dramatic. This design will perfectly fit Louise. She’s gorgeous.” Elle looked at me with a sense of contentment.I feel comfortable with her. She’s not what I expected. I thought I would have a hard time because most people born into very wealthy families tend to be perfectionists. But not Elle. She's enjoyable to be with, straightforward, sincere, and beautiful. In fact, she doesn't care about brands and prefers simple clothing.“The side slit is too high. They could almost see her thigh, Elle,” Hendrix complained.“We can always adjust it. Tsk,” Elle shook her head. "That’s it. I’m done with you. I’m not showing you any more designs that Marilou sent. It will be a surprise from now on. You are not allowed to check or decide what we want to wear.” Elle took the brochure out of Hendrix’s hand.“I’

    Hendrix.I can't believe it. Louise has this all along? Damn, what are the chances?Nicolai, Philip, Bryce, and Diezel clapped their hands after witnessing the G-Dragon demo. Spencer, Enzo, Xavion, and Rift were also in line, impressed by what they had seen."Should we add more programs to it? What do you think?" Bryce asks as he switches it back."I think that should suffice. The highlight of the show is not the G-Dragon anyway. It's Hendrix," Diezel exclaimed."How the hell will I become the effing highlight, Dez?" I smirked. "You better do your job. You do the opening program."That shut the hell out of him, and almost everyone laughed."Don't make fun of the new aspiring billionaire, guys. Don't you know that since Diezel took over his father's company, he has been earning eighty percent after a year? That's awesome." Xavion said proudly in the line."Damn, Dez. I thought you only knew how to dance Zumba, bro. You have all the talent in the world." A new voice pops in, and we are

    Hendrix.I combed my hair using my fingers in exasperation. It's been a week since Louise last spoke to me. She keeps ignoring me as if I don't exist. I can't get too close to her because she doesn't want me around."I acknowledge it's my fault, and I'm doing everything for her to understand the situation, Xav. It's driving me crazy. I can't concentrate and haven't slept at all. I want to talk to her, but she has blocked me."Xavion chuckled a little."This isn’t funny, Xavion," I said through clenched teeth."Give her time, Hendrix. She will calm down and entertain you again. Right now, her focus is on Rosy. Let her be. Consider the pain she's experiencing now. She's also afraid of losing Rosy."I sighed, trying to grasp the air around me.Rosy is not feeling well.After chemotherapy, she developed complications and is currently in the ICU for heart monitoring. I visited her earlier to ensure she was being looked after by the nurses and specialists.I nodded, trying to tease the ten

    Louise Rose.I'm so furious right now. I feel so betrayed. Of all the people, why Hendrix? Why. . .I went back to Rosy and attended to all her needs. I never asked her anything about her condition. I had enough of what Dr. Lou said earlier. I just need to give myself some time to settle down so that I can think again."Louise, my dear, please don't be upset with me or Dr. Lou. It's not his fault. He was simply following my instructions... I want this because I don't want you to fret too much… I apologize for keeping this from you." Rosy's voice was faint and tired. I could only embrace her. My heart shatters as I feel lost about what to do next. It's nighttime already. I helped Rosy shower and eat dinner, and now I am tucking her for bedtime. I turned off my phone after I talked to Dr. Lou. I don't want to talk to anyone, especially to Hendrix. I'm not in the mood for any conversation about Rosy's health.I could only smile softly as I stroked her cheek. I know she's tired. Today

    Louise Rose.Although I shouldn't visit her today, I plan to surprise Rosy since my calendar is free. I feel truly blessed in many ways despite the conflicts within Hendrix's family.Hendrix's mother hates me, and Stephanie is making all the moves she can to hold Hendrix by the neck.My partner is facing financial losses, and I feel accountable for it. I want to assist him, but I'm unsure of how to proceed. I believe the most significant support I can offer is simply being there for him, regardless of the circumstances.I love him, honestly. Our start wasn't perfect, as it was pretentious, but look at where we are now. It's been the past six months, and we are running seven and still firmly in love with each other.I felt nervous as I entered the care clinic. Nadia, the head nurse, looked surprised when she saw me."I did not expect a visit from you today." Her brows wiggled, and I laughed. "Does your Aunt Rosy know you are coming?""No. She did not. I want to surprise her. I have so

    Louise Rose.I cautiously glance to the side while listening to Hendrix speak on the phone with Stephanie.After dinner, we settled back at his place, giving me enough time to relax. I'm all relaxed, alright. I had my shower thirty minutes ago and checked on Rosy at the care clinic. Everything is going well with her, and I'm glad she's okay. I was a little worried when I saw her this morning. She doesn't seem well."I told you I'm not negotiating anything from you anymore, Steph." Hendrix's voice rose in octavo."Dammit! This is why we can't talk in person. This is why I can't see you!' He ran his hand through his hair in frustration and lifted his head."Fucking hell! Don't you dare tell me what to do, Steph! It's not about myself anymore, and not about Louise. Stay her out of this!"My body jerked when I heard the surprising kick he made on the chair inside the room. I fiddle my fingernails on my lips while listening, and my heart is pumping hard inside me.Hendrix is furious. Step

    Louise Rose.I stopped by the flower stall near Hendrix’s office building, and rather than waiting for him, I opted to head to his office instead.The interior of the building is impressive. It features a unique atmosphere, and the entrance boasts a tall ceiling adorned with a large, sparkling chandelier.There was no reception. Instead, there was information displayed on the large screen indicating which floor to visit. On the opposite side of the hallway leading to the lifts, you’ll find a small café alongside a flower stall.I smiled upon seeing it, and the two ladies attending smiled back. They were taking orders from two customers waiting nearby.Hendrix is clever, and I’m very proud of my man.Last night, we didn’t talk about Stephanie and the newly released articles. I felt jealous, but I knew how to manage my jealousy. I trust him and will wait for his explanation.The elevator arrives at the top floor, the fifty-ninth. I exit and am greeted by the company’s prominent logo ad

    Hendrix."It's good to see you again, Rosy." I gave her a tight hug and kissed her forehead.She gazed at me faintly, smiling. Her hands felt cold, and she was growing thinner each day. I felt anxious. To me, she didn't seem well, yet I recognized her strong fight for Louise.Last night was calm with Louise. We had a good time together. We never talked about the issues and just set them aside. We kissed, cuddled, and made love. It was solemn and peaceful. Although it does not solve the problem, I think it's probably better that way.I have too much on my plate at the moment, and I'm sorting out my business with Stephanie. I'm doing things one at a time, and I know Louise understands that."Hendrix…" Rosy weakly uttered my name, and I sat down beside her."How are you feeling, Rosy?" My jaw tightened. I knew she was not feeling well. I had a quick chat with Dr. Lou before I proceeded to her unit.The treatment was still ongoing. We are on our second radiation session now, and there ar

    Louise Rose.I sat down, and Dr. Lou looked very serious. I haven't seen Rosy—not yet. The food and treats are still inside the paper bags with me.“Look, Louise. I know it’s been some time, and if you’ve noticed, Rosy’s condition is worsening each day.” He paused and glanced at me with a worried expression."Yes, I noticed that. I've been meaning to talk to you, but I've been held up with many things, including my business. Every time I visit, you're either not here or busy with your patients.""Yes, I'm sorry about that. But this time, I could no longer ignore the symptoms, and—"He paused again when my phone suddenly rang. I hadn't muted it."Oh, sorry." I pulled it out of my side pocket and swiped the screen. It was Rosy."Uhm, it's just Rosy. Just hang on for a second, Dr. Lou." I stood up and whirled halfway."Yes, Rosy. I'm already here at the clinic. I'm talking to Dr. Lou. It won't be long, and I will be there. I'll see you in a minute," I said, ending the call.Dr. Lou clear

    Louise Rose."What the heck? You attended the event the other day with Hendrix, right?" Shella's eyes were like fire when I looked at her."Why? What's wrong?" I still had my hands on the flowers I had arranged in the vase.After the event and spending the night at Hendrix's place, I visited Rosy the next day. She seemed unwell and uncomfortable, which worried me. So, I decided to stay with her until nighttime to help with her needs. She's got a personal maid, but me being there with her is a different story. I just want to be with her. I don't want to think about that sly Stephanie.I have a few messages and miscalls from Hendrix. I will get back to him later. "Look at this. Have you read this?" She showed me the newspaper. The front page featured a picture of Hendrix's company and the events mentioned. On the next page was a collage of pictures with his cousins, parents, and Stephanie."Where are you? Why aren't you here? They didn’t even mention you at all, as if you didn’t exist

    Louise Rose.I lost my smile the moment I saw Hendrix. Anger surged within me, and I recalled what Stephanie had said at the party.“Louise, darling...”Hendrix leaned in to kiss me, but I pulled away. Lilia noticed and cleared her throat before walking away. She left us.Hendrix opens my chair so I can sit down. I never look at him as I take my seat. I’m still upset.“I’m not sure what you’d prefer for breakfast, so I asked Lilia to prepare a variety of options.” He cleared his throat as he placed each dish closer to my plate.I will eat as much as possible and then go to the flower shop branches. That’s my plan for today. We sit in silence while eating, creating an awkward atmosphere. I don’t want to discuss anything and can sense his hesitance to speak.“I’m sorry about what happened last night, Louise.”My lips twitch. Why is he apologizing? Is it because he didn’t inform me about Stephanie? Additionally, I don’t even know what role Stephanie plays in his life aside from being
