2024-10-29 19:42:56This time, I walked faster than Wayne, and he followed silently behind me. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with him after what he heard about me earlier, but despite that, I simply decided to act as if nothing had happened and that I was no longer affected. After all, our personal lives are distinct from our business relationships. We will both get benefits here— there will be no cheating or greed.
With Wayne's help and support, I can win the case and reclaim our land, while it pains me to admit this to myself but he is no longer at loss to me anymore. It's not a big deal if something happens between the two of us because, as I already stated, we've done that thing before… and I even lost count.After a while, we finally arrived at Pio's house. I saw him cleaning his pick-up car. His position was slightly turned in my direction, so he hadn't seen me yet, so I immediately called his name, which was the reason why he automatically turned in the direction of WaynRelated chapters

I can't help but throw a gaze at Leigh and to that man outside of this house when they are getting closer and closer while they are talking to each other. I'm not sure what they're discussing right now, but it appears to be serious. I'm now sitting in a bamboo chair inside the house. I also couldn’t look at the whole house because I don’t want to take my eyes off Leigh and to that man. As I already stated, their talk appeared serious since I could see the man's expression while Leigh turned her back on me, obscuring her face so I couldn't see her expression."Here son, get some juice first." I was a little surprised when the old man suddenly appeared in front of me. It was only then that I lost sight of Leigh and then immediately turned my attention to the old man.As he brought me the glass of orange juice, I just replied, "Thank you."I accepted it and then simply placed the glass on the small table in front of me... after all, I wasn't thirsty. I w

I was driving quietly while Leigh was just staring out the window of my car. It's almost 11 AM and it's getting closer to 12 noon. We are currently on our way to Quezon City and according to my calculations, we will arrive at exactly 1 PM. I don't know if I should be the first to break the silence between the two of us but I eventually decided to speak."Are you hungry? I can pull over if you are," I responded flatly, my gaze fixed on the road; a few moments later, I felt her move a little from where she was sitting where I was sure that she was looking at me right now.“Uhmm. J-just a little," she replied hesitantly."Okay" I calmly said, "I'll just pull over later when I see a restaurant." She remained silent.It didn't take long for us to pass a restaurant so like what I have stated, I stopped the car for us to eat inside. I was about to take off my seat belt when my phone rang.I saw that Leigh was also stunned when my phon

We arrived at my house at exactly 1:30 PM. It's a bit of traffic when we entered Manila that's why we arrived late rather than I expected. We were still in my car as I parked in the garage when I noticed her looking out the window. It's like… she's having a star gazing at the moment.I stopped my car and I'm the first one to unbuckle my seat belt. I saw out of the corner of my eyes that she immediately followed by removing her seat belt and then I went out. "Follow me," I stated flatly and then I just passed her and walked straight into my house. I felt that she followed behind me so I don’t bother to look back until we finally entered. When I'm about to speak, I can't help but feel stunned when I saw someone sitting in my living area and eating a snack. He also became aware of my presence so he automatically stopped eating the food he was holding and then his eyes widened. I can't help but frown at him. It's Alexander Fraz, one of my friends who own Fra

I just sat down in myoffice and grabbed the white folder. I began reading the articles because they were related to the case I was currently working on when my phone rang. I quickly reached for my phone that was just sitting on my table and then looked at the caller ID. I can't help but frown a little when I saw Zeid's name on the screen. He's Zeidhon Callycx Imperial, one of my closest friends… we have the same attitude and principles in life that's why among our other friends, we get along together. Oh, I forgot… Caerus too.I didn't give any thought to why he called me today and just simply answered his phone call.“Hello. What do you need? ” I inquired quickly, my gaze still fixed on the item I was holding.[I don't need anything in particular…] he replied in a disgusting tone when he spoke. [They just use me and my number to call you… because they know that when I call you, you

LEIGH’s POV I knew that my mind was already awake but I still kept closing my eyes… I don’t know how many minutes or how long I had been lying here and still hadn't gotten up. I wish it was all a dream... I wish it was just a dream that I was here at Wayne's house, but it appears that I'm just kidding myself since I can still feel the softness of the bed I'm resting on now, and it's soothing. I don't have a bed like this in my house because it's just a simple pallet, therefore it's confirmed: I'm at Wayne's house right now.I secretly took a deep breath and then then gently opened my eyes. This enormous room's magnificent and expensive-looking ceiling greeted me right away.I couldn't help but think, 'I'm not dreaming,'and then I shifted my sight to the window, where I saw the beautiful and thick curtain blocking the light from the sun outside.This isn't something I'm used to. I'm used t

I'm sitting here on the couch in Wayne's living room right now. It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't done anything in this house all day because Manang Susan won't allow me to help her with domestic dutiesbecause she was treating me like a visitor.From where I was seated, I couldn't help but sigh. It's not like I'm used to doing nothing.That's why, when the boredom hits me so hard,I’m planning to find a job in the following few day.Anyways, when Manang and I had lunch earlier together, I decided to organize my belongings and clothes in my room. There's a cabinet inside of my room so that's where I put my clothes, and to be honest… I just finished everything, so now I'm just simply resting here in the living room.While relaxing, I took another look around the place and took careful note in details of everything. I'm now facing his massive flat-screen TV, and I can feel the softnes

I made a series but weak knocks on the closed door of Wayne's room, , intending to take the snacks prepared by Manang Susan."Come in," Wayne said faintly from inside, and that was all I needed to hear to grab the doorknob and unlock it. When I opened the door, Wayne was the one who immediately welcomed my eyes, sitting in a swiveling chair in front of his desk with the woman perched on his thigh and then I also notice that her both hands were wrapped around to his neck.I was taken aback by what I witnessed at first, especially since Wayne and the woman appeared unfazed by my presence. But, after attempting to recover from my shock, I decided to go inside. "Here are your snacks," whispered softly as I placed the tray I had brought into Wayne's room's little living area.At that very moment, I felt like eyes were looking at me, it was either Wayne or that arrogant and haughty woman, but I tried to restrain myself from not paying

WAYNE’s POVI offered Veronica a seat on one of my couches inside my room, but she's in the mood to be mischievous right now, so instead of relaxing on one of my couches... she took a seat on my lap. I didn't have a strong reaction to that because we had known each other for a long time.She's like a younger sister to me , and she also treats me as if I were her older brother, despite the fact that she is an only child. She's 5 years younger than me, by the way.“What now? Are you and Uncle Luis fighting again?” I inquired. Fortunately, she was light-weighted in some way, so when she sat on my lap with her two hands still wrapped around my neck, I didn't react much.“Nope. She replied, "Dad sent me over to tell you about the charity ball."Because of what she said, I instinctively touched the bridge of my brow. It was almost as if I had forgotten about the charity. "Oh, please don't

The days passed swiftly. It's Sunday now, and I'm just walking home. It's only five in the afternoon, so I decided to walk instead of taking a ride. I wanted to save my hard-earned money. I didn't want to spend the entirety of my week's salary so carelessly.This is my last paycheck from the restaurant, so I need to be frugal. I've already bid farewell to Ma'am Sammie. I felt a bit embarrassed because I didn't last long at my job, and Pio only recommended me, but I have no choice but to fulfill the promise I made to Wayne.It's just sad because I know deep down that I'm capable of my job. It's tiring, yes, but isn't every job demanding in its own way? I also felt bad about suddenly resigning and leaving my co-workers. I had become close to them, especially Yuki, whom I considered like a younger sibling.But, as I mentioned, there's nothing more I can do. I've said yes to Wayne. Here I am, following what he wants.Speaking of Wayne... the past days between us have been quite pleasant.

"So, are you really saying that you delivered food to that kind of place?" Wayne exclaimed as I entered his house. Actually, I felt earlier that he was definitely going to bring up the topic, but he couldn't because we didn't go home together. I had to swing by the restaurant to return the motorbike, while he went back to retrieve his car, which he had left behind.As soon as I entered, he immediately asked me what I was doing in that place, and I simply answered his question. Now, I could clearly see the anger in his expression as he stared directly at me."Yes, because it's my job," I replied seriously. I didn't know what he was so angry about now, especially when he's the one with an issue between the two of us."You delivered food to a gambling den!" he repeated. "I knew it, your job isn't safe!" He even stood up from his seat on the sofa because of his frustration with me.My ears were ringing now, and my patience was running thin too. Like I said, he's the one with an issue, so

My morning began with a surge of irritation as I woke up early, preparing for my day at the restaurant. I practically tossed the comb I was using onto my vanity table. The annoyance from last night still lingered within me. It wasn't because things didn't go as planned between Wayne and me, but rather, it was because I had come to realize who called him last night.No wonder that name seemed so familiar. I couldn't afford to be mistaken; she was the snobbish woman from the charity ball. She was the one accompanying Wayne on the night that became the reason why Wayne denied me."Argh! This is infuriating! If only I had known sooner that it was her... then maybe I would have found a way to stop Wayne from leaving last night," I muttered to myself.I sighed deeply and decided it was time to leave my room. I couldn't afford to be late for the restaurant, not with all this anger simmering inside me.As I descended the stairs, I automatically stopped in my tracks upon seeing Ya
The Law of Lust (English) CHAPTER 62
I got out of Wayne's car without looking back, clutching my sling bag tightly as he parked his car. I headed straight for the entrance of his house, not turning around. I could feel my heart pounding with every step. I wanted to turn around to confirm if he was following me or not, but I decided against it and chose to walk faster instead."I need to get to my room as soon as possible," I whispered to myself.As expected, Yaya Susan was nowhere to be seen when I entered the house. My nervousness intensified even more because of that.I hurriedly climbed the stairs, wishing I could take three steps at a time just to get to my room faster.I secretly smiled when I reached the front of my bedroom door. I didn't hesitate and immediately reached for the doorknob, about to twist it open. However, a hand suddenly rested on top of mine, as if helping me turn it. I didn't look back to see who it was, but I recognized him instantly from the scent of his perfume.I was about to pull

I feel like I've lost myself while sitting here at the back of the jeepney. I'm currently on my way to the restaurant. I'm still holding onto the handle, but I'm lost in thought. Until now, I can't believe what happened between Wayne and me last night.If only I could smack my own head right now, I might have done it. But I held myself back because I'm not the only passenger right now.I just hope that the people in front of me don't notice my flushed face. I can feel my cheeks burning, especially since I vividly remember everything that happened after what happened in the car.I felt like I was dozing off already just from Wayne's embrace as he carried me towards my room. It was only when he gently laid me on the soft bed that I slightly jolted awake.I could hear his faint, somewhat hoarse voice whisper to me, "Just sleep tight, I'll clean you."At that moment, I didn't quite understand what he meant. I just saw his back as he walked into my bathroom. My eyelids closed on their own

Wayne's hand continued to caress her thigh, moving up and down, while he maintained his unwavering gaze into her eyes."Please, tell me you're not going to work anymore. I'm offering you a secretarial position at my firm. Why can't you just accept it, huh?" Leigh bit her lower lip in response to the warmth she felt from Wayne's touch, but she restrained herself. She suppressed the conflicting impulses within her to be able to answer him."W-Wayne—"Leigh couldn't finish her sentence as Wayne suddenly kissed her. She was taken aback in those moments, finding it hard to believe that their conversation had turned into a passionate kiss. But when she noticed that Wayne had closed his eyes while savoring the connection of their lips, she involuntarily closed her eyes too."Hmmm." Leigh unintentionally let out a soft moan. Wayne's hand continued its motion on her thigh, accompanying the fervent kisses they were sharing."Tell me... you're not going to work... hmmm..." Wayne murmured between

Wayne quickly closed the folder he had been reading that evening. He also glanced at his black wristwatch and noticed it was almost seven o'clock. He stood up, about to reach for the black coat hanging on his swivel chair, when Brent suddenly entered his office without even knocking."Oh? Leaving already?" Brent asked him, carrying about five white folders, catching Wayne's quick gaze.Wayne was currently at his law firm during that time. He had initially decided not to go to the office, claiming he was still recovering from the illness he had the night before. But boredom got the best of him at home, especially since Leigh wasn't there, so he ended up showing up around noon after having lunch.Leigh had eaten incredibly quickly, almost finishing her meal in about five bites before promptly leaving after Wayne paid for her orders."Yeah. Just put the folders on my table," Wayne replied without much emotion as he put on his coat. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Bre

Leigh's eyes widened as she read Wayne's text message. She didn't know why, but her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily upon seeing the three red heart emojis from Wayne's message."Ugh! This is my fault. Why did I accidentally press the heart emoji out of all the emojis on my phone?" Leigh complained to herself. She felt like slamming her phone against her head, but she restrained herself because there were many restaurant staff around her now.She was on break along with a few colleagues.Throughout the morning, Leigh had only received three delivery orders. Not many people were ordering online, so she had some time to rest now. Since she was quite worried about Wayne, she decided to send him a text as her first move. But this is what happened; she accidentally pressed something she shouldn't have.She decided to send Wayne another message. She thought maybe she could take back her earlier message.To: Wayne'I accidentally pressed the heart... I didn't mean to.' Sent.She

Despite not having slept well the previous night due to her racing thoughts, and in addition to that, consistently checking on Wayne's condition in the adjacent room, Leigh managed to rouse herself early the following morning. The ambiance retained a lingering dimness as Leigh awoke. Passing Wayne's room, she cast another fleeting glance inside to ascertain if he remained in peaceful slumber. Squinting her eyes, she gently twisted the doorknob to Wayne's room. Inside, Wayne was still sleeping peacefully. She carefully closed the door again and proceeded straight to the kitchen. Aware that Yaya Fracia typically came around eight in the morning, Leigh realized she'd have to get Wayne's medication ready once he woke up. Taking charge, she decided to take the initiative to cook and prepare their breakfast. She opted to prepare something quick and easy. She needed to hurry since she also had work to attend to. She rustled up a batch of ready-to-mix pancakes and fried sunny-side-up eggs.
