After he chopped the wood, we fetched some water. I'm the one who filled the pail and he's the one who lifted the bucket. I tried to lift a small bucket but he snatched it from me.

"No, Honey. Don't lift this," Gio said but I was too stubborn.

"I can carry it myself, the bucket was just small," I answered.

"No—" He didn't finish what he was going to say when I let go of my bucket and slipped away. I screamed in fear and panic. I was ready to feel the pain of slipping, but instead of falling on the floor, I felt a strong arm on my body. His hand was on my waist, hugging it tightly.

Suddenly, my heart beat fast due to the closeness of our faces. He was staring at me and I was staring at him in shock. His sweet smile flashed and I blinked many times.

"Th-Thank you!"

"I told you, no need to lift the small bucket. You're stubborn, Honey," he said seriously and picked up the bucket on the floor. He filled it with water and left me, not even paying attention to me. What is his proble

    After we finished eating, we decided to go for a walk on the beach because it was so close to our house. While we were walking, a lot of girls kept on looking at us. I immediately frowned because of that. What if I gouge out their eyes? "Relax, Honey. I know what's on your mind," he laughed and grabbed my waist. Everyone gasped at what they see so I smirked. “Oh! I told you, that's Scarlet's boyfriend!" I heard someone whisper. “Gosh! They will be going to break up soon. Try me! Guys like that won't take us seriously because we're from the province!" I winced when I heard it. "Don't mind them, I won't leave you. I'm serious about you, that's why I came here," Gio said. "Idiot! Look, he even came here just to meet Scarlet's family, he really loves her!" I heard one shout. “Right!” Gio swore. I just laughed at him. He's right, I must ignore what others saying. "Hi, Scarlet!" I saw Sharmaine looking at us, one of my childhood friends. I swallowed the lump in my throat when I saw h

    "'Mom, we were going to the park, we were going to dance there. Is it okay?” I said to Mom. "No problem, my daughter. Just be careful.” I smiled at Gio, said "yes" to him and we appeared our hands secretly. Mom was very strict, especially when there was a full-fledged dance in the park like this. She said that maybe something bad might happened to us, she'll be worried. It was a miracle and she agreed. "It's a good thing mom agreed," I said. "Well, of course. Your boyfriend is handsome, ayt?" he answered and pulled away from me. “Yeah, right!!” I snorted. "It's true, come on, the party has already started." He pulled me away. "Mom, we're leaving!" he shouted at my mother. "Alright, be careful!" “Yes, mom!” We walked a few minutes to the park. It's a bit far from our house but it's walkable. When we got close I heard the sound system and people screaming. I see someone dancing too, they are having so much fun. I saw Nico and Sharmaine together. Nico's face was frown

    When we got home, mom, dad and my sisters were obviously asleep. Mom's shop was closed and the lights inside the house were off. We entered the house slowly so as not to disturb my family. When we were free to enter and no more noise was created, we breathed a sigh of relief. Gio was a bit drunk so he staggered to my room. I suddenly stopped him. "You can't sleep here," I said to him. "I want to be next to you, I can't sleep on the sofa," he answered with a sneer. I held my breath. "You can sleep here but you have to get up at dawn?" I asked. "Yes," he answered. We entered my room together. I changed my sleeping bag, it was dark so I didn't want to undress in front of him. After I finished changing, I immediately went to my bed. He was lying down and it's staring at me. I couldn't stop smiling because of the looks he was giving me. "Why?" I asked him. "Nothing, even though it's dark, your beauty dominates at night," he said. I smiled widely. "Don't fool me, let's go to s

    "Mom and dad, we're going now," Gio said to my family and waved at them. We were going to the city because we have a job there. "Alright, son, be careful when driving," answered my mother. "Auntie, don't worry, we'll take care of Scarlet," Aira said to them. "Thank you very much for visiting us. We were very happy, especially Patpat.” Patpat suddenly burst into tears. I am currently carrying her."Sister, I will miss you!" she exclaimed while crying and hugged me tightly. "I'll miss you too Patpat, don't worry sister will come back her again. I will buy you a lot of chocolates when I came back. Do you want that?” I asked. She nodded, the redness and swelling of her eyes was so obvious. "Yes," she replied. "So don't cry anymore, look at Aunt Aira, she will turn into monster if you cry," I said while laughing. Aira frowned as she looked at me. Even Tom and Gio were laughing too. Patpat was afraid of Aira, because sometimes she scolded her for being naughty. “Mom!” Patpat yelled a

    I woke up at the fragrance that stung on my nose. It smells so good, my stomach boils, signaling that it's hungry. My body hurts so much because Gio didn't stop me last night. We finished at three o'clock. I suddenly smiled when he repeatedly said he loved me. I can't help but shudder as I remember that hot and steamy night. "Good morning, honey!" I turned my gaze to the topless man in front of me. He was very handsome, his hair was messy and his sweat was obvious dripping down to his stomach. My boyfriend was really yummy. I stopped thinking when I remembered that I hadn't answered him yet. I was waiting for him to ask a question, but I couldn't help it either, so now I'm excited to answer him. He came with a tray. "Good morning too, honey." "Breakfast in bed," he said with a smile. He placed the tray at my legs. I sat down and hugged him tightly. "Thankyou honey. You're so sweet," I smiled and immediately kissed him on the cheek. I looked at the foods , there were hotdogs, pa

    Giovanni POV (Before Scarlet and Gio meet) "You're only mine, Gio. No one can take you away from me. You can't get away because I'm holding your neck. You're my puppet, remember?" The thrust that I unleash on the girl was too strong. I stopped the girl in front of me as that memory played in my mind. Fuck! Yes, I'm a puppet to her but she won't always make me obey her. I hate her! "Fuck baby, go ahead! Go ahead! Ohh!" my whore screamed and growled. I smirked at her reaction. I'm not used to it anymore. I have made many women happy, not just one but many. This was the only comfort zone I have, this was the only thing that made me feel that I am not a puppet, that I am not subservient to her, that I can also a dominant to others. That I am superior. My fist clenched when I remembered what she did to me. Damn!! Fuck her! I was so angry that I hit the woman in front of me. She likes hard and rough so it's okay. "There, ohh! Hurt me, baby. Make me fit. Go ahead, ohhh! Fuck! Uhm," s

    Giovanni POV (Current) It's really true that Love is lovelier for the second time around. Yes, I have fallen in love with another girl and that was Trisha. She was my life, I learned to move forward and fight life again because of her. She was my comfort zone. She was my haven. When I had a problem, she was always the one I ran to until I got used to having her by my side always. But I never dated and courted her. We also met at the Royal Night Club but as Giovanni. You wouldn't be Gio the stripper if Giovanni Berkshire wasn't the CEO of the company. I was so devastated that time because mom had another heart attack. Her heart was too weak so she was confined to the hospital. I decided to drink first because I didn't feel like dancing. That's where I met Trisha. She and Scarlet were the same, innocent faces and beautiful too. Trisha was too nice to me that's why I made friends with her. Like Scarlet, Trisha was also from a poor family. I asked her why she was there, she said tha

    This is the day I've been waiting for. I also planned this for several days. I'm so happy and excited because I'm going to ask Scarlet if I can officially be her boyfriend. I'm not used to this but I really made an effort for her. I'm very nervous and excited. Scarlet was elusive to me for a few days but I just ignored it. I know why she was like that because she thought I don't want to be her boyfriend. I don't want to label our relationship. I just want her answer to be memorable so that she will always remember it. I didn't go to work today because I lied about being sick. Scarlet was even very worried and didn't even want to work too to take care of me but Aira was my accomplice. I called her and told her to tell Scarlet that her presence in the office was necessary. So she had no choice but to go to the company... She just bought me medicine and food before leaving. You can feel her concern even though she was sulking. She really loves me. Shit. "Don't worry, honey, don't w

    Gio A soft tap woke me up so I turned on my back. "That will come too, bro. Don't worry, you won't run away," Tom laughingly promised me while carrying his cute, cute son. This is the feeling of getting married, it's so nervous that I feel sick. Tangina mixed emotions. We are currently at the altar and waiting for my fiancé. "Tangina because I miss her, I want to see her. I haven't seen my husband for a few days, I miss him so much," I told him, making him laugh. "Relax, bro. That too will come!” Tom convinced me. Everyone is here except my fiancé.Later I stood up straight because the door of the church was slowly opened and the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth was spat out. My fiance Scarlet Hart Berkshire. “Damn! Why is she so beautiful?” I whispered to myself. Even though her belly bump is obvious, her sexiness and beauty still don't fade.

    Scarlet Gio was quickly discharged from the hospital. He was only hit a few times on the body, one on the side and the other on the arm. I am very thankful to God because he did not let me down. He did not take my love from me. I smiled when an arm wrapped around my waist. We are currently on the terrace of his condo. I went back to his condo because I was the one taking care of him. "What are you thinking, honey?" he asked me as he buried his face in my neck and kissed it gently. I'm a little tickled but that's okay."I can only think of all the suffering we both had before. From the time we met until now, we have gone through many trials but here we are still together," I promised. "You know, no matter what trials come our way, we and only us will stay together, honey because we belong to each other." "Are you happy that I am the one you will marry?" I asked him. "It's so much fun, especially since we're going to have children. I'm so excited to see jr. let's." I felt him low

    Scarlet I shed a lot of tears when I saw that Gio was hit by a bullet. My heart beats constantly because of the pain and fear I feel. 'OH, GOD! DON'T TAKE GIO FROM ME' “G-Gio, don't leave me! Don't close your eyes," I promised him while holding both of his cheeks. His eyes were watering, his cheeks were almost full of blood because of my bloody hands because of the locust that hit him. "DON'T TOUCH ME! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!” I heard Leila shout. I just ignored it because I was only focused on Gio. He gently touched my cheek and smiled softly."You're... safe... and... last," he promised me. His tears ran down his cheeks. He leaned forward and held his side. I heard the ambulance outside so I felt calm. "Yes, but you're not s-safe, honey. You are right," I whined to him. "Please, be brave for us, honey. We need you," I added crying. His eyes widened looking at me. "Us? We? What do you mean?” he stammered to me. I smiled sweetly at him. "Yes, us because you're going to be a fathe

    GIO We wasted no time, I quickly contacted my staff to go to Leila's location. I quickly told them about our plan. They will take care of Leila's staff and Tom and I will take care of Leila. "Be careful there, if you need help just call me and Lily," Aira seriously promised us while we put on bulletproof. "I will be careful for you and for our baby, babe. Don't worry I will come home without a scar, promise!” Tom said to her and he quickly kissed his girlfriend Aira on the forehead. "Be careful too, Gio. I trust you," Lily promised me. “Thank you. For our freedom and for Scarlet.” It smiled and nodded. After we got ready, we immediately said goodbye to the two. It even insisted on wanting to come but we didn't allow it because it was dangerous. We are currently in the car and are traveling to Leila's location. Later my walkie talkie rang, I immediately answered it. "We are at the location, boss, over," said Mr. John to me. "Good, Mr. John, just stand by. Tom and I are getting

    GIO I quickly left the club to catch up with Scarlet. I quickly got into my car and drove to Siargao. Leila called me a while ago but I didn't even pay attention to it. I don't care what his problem is, let him do whatever he wants for the wedding but I won't show up. He is crazy. I tried to call Scarlet's cell phone but it was turned off. I lost hope of contacting him so I just stopped. I will see him in Siargao I can assure you of that. I have to explain to him that if I had known that he was coming, I would have waited for him outside the club to avoid the girls inside. Damn!I will never cheat on her. That's probably the most impossible thing for me to do, I'm just afraid of him that he might leave me again. I don't want your past to happen again, I might not be able to handle it. I didn't waste any time and I ran fast, maybe it would be better if I went to their house first and just wait for them there. The flight to Siargao is only a few hours, so I can handle it even if I hav

    I immediately went to Royal Night Club, there were still many people entering inside, rich businessmen and businesswoman. When I entered, my eyes immediately searched for my friend Tom but I couldn't find him. I approached the bartender, because I already know him. "Long time no see, boss! I haven't seen you here in a long time, the group misses you!” he promised me when he saw me. He is also one of the strippers here, sometimes a bartender and sometimes a stripper. He has to clean because his mother is sick, we are in the same situation but we have different status in life. "It's been a bit busy, haven't you? your mother? How are you?” I asked him."Mother's condition is good, the doctor said she will be able to go out in a few months. Thank you very much boss for donating, that's a big help to me," he said with a smile and I just nodded. "That's good, just don't let yourself down. Where is boss Tom?” I asked him. "He doesn't have a boss yet, maybe he's still in his condo. You kn

    SEVERAL days have passed since Scarlet and I broke up. I can't contact him as well as Aira and Tom. I only keep in touch with Lily. He said that he doesn't see Scarlet in the condo anymore and that there is no one there. Aira and Tom are always busy, I haven't been able to catch up with them at the company. I know it avoids me and I know the reason.I am currently in my office looking at the evidence I will use in court against Leila. I don't know what to do now that everything is in front of me, my presence at the police station is lacking, but I can't walk my feet there because I'm afraid that the police won't believe me. I never trust police officers. I remember when I reported to the police, I was 18 years old at that time. I realized then that what Leila was doing to me was wrong and I couldn't stomach it anymore. I really have to do something to be free from him. I tried to confess it to my parents but I was overcome by shame and fear. Mommy was still sick then and dad was treat

    GIO I was VERY hurt when I saw Scarlet crying while being led by Aira. It's painful for me to see what I did earlier, I have no choice if I didn't follow Leila, she will be angry that she might even hurt my boyfriend. I was so mad at the same time scared because we didn't have any competition with Leila's crew. It's better that I'm away from them because they're safer when I'm with them. Leila hugged my arm but I didn't care about her. I hate him so much I want to push him but I can't. Just a little bit of me will do bad things and wonders to my loved ones."Don't worry, Gio. Tomorrow we will get married, you are mine and no one can take you away. Scarlet is gone because she left you," he promised me. My head got even hotter because of what he said. It's like I went back in time, the old me. My body is still shaking because of the fear of him. I fought to stop it, but it didn't work. All I need is my Scarlet, she's the only one who can calm me down. I closed my eyes tightly because

We were here a while ago at nine o'clock but he still isn't there, it's almost eleven o'clock."Will those who took Patpat still come, son?" mother asked me in tears."Yes, I know it will come, just trust me, mom," I promised her and held her hand. The truth is, I've been nervous for a while because Leila hasn't replied yet. I think maybe he changed his mind or something. He's already cut my text, it's impossible for him not to read it. I looked at Gio and I holding hands. Soon we will be separated and I don't know if I will be able to be separated from him. But I will strengthen my heart for the sake of my brother Patpat. I know that God will not allow us to be separated, I have confidence that he will find a way for us to get back together again.I will not agree to just leave him in Leila's hands.
