Sometimes, I really don't understand Khein. He's unpredictable and such a mystery to me. His intention towards me is still not clear and I know I should be careful around him, but why do I feel the contrary? I feel somehow... comfortable?Is this the feeling of comfort, though? Because honestly speaking, I don't even know how to describe this feeling. I never felt this way before. I have never been so comfortable with other people than my family and those who are close to me since I was little. And Khein? He's a total stranger for me. A stranger who I met in the most unexpected and unpleasant way.But here I am, hanging out with him."STOP!" I yelled on top of my lungs while running away from him. I could not almost catch my breath. I was laughing very hard."Who said I'm a gay, huh?" he asked while chasing after me.We were in the middle of the mama's garden and it was pretty huge! Literally huge to the point that thousands of people could fit in with no worry at all. Khein and I were
I didn't expect he would respond that way...All my life I've always been misunderstood. All my life I felt like my feelings were invalid, and for reacting to certain things is not a normal thing to do. I have never been cared for. My opinions and my feelings were not validated. They are all useless and nonsense.But Khein did not let me feel even a bit of those feelings I was already used to.He showed me that reacting that way was normal and valid, he apologized, and respected my need to have a silent moment by myself.I never thought I would cry this much over such a simple thing, but here I am, pouring my tears out because I couldn't take these emotions anymore.These feelings were strange to me, yet it feels so good.Oh, to be heard...It feels overwhelming, in a good way.I cried my eyes out, letting the tears I didn't know I have held with. I was sad, happy, worried, and just couldn't explain it. These emotions were too much for me to handle. And so I cried. I cried like a baby
The next few days have been the greatest days of my life. Never ever had a day passed by as boring. I enjoyed every single moment of my time here in Khein's grandparents' manor. And it wouldn't be that possible if it weren't for him.Khein made me feel different emotions while staying in Canada at the place he grew up with. He introduced me to a lot of things. He showed me his favorite lake, his favorite place to hang out on, his favorite food that he loved to eat since he was little, the most memorable place in the manor that he couldn't erase in his head. I learned a lot about him while staying with me for a couple of days. And it feels like I got to know him better this time."Come here," he said to me while laying down on the bed. I just finished bathing and am wearing my favorite sleepwear. Khein and I have been sleeping on the same bed ever since and have been comfortable cuddling with each other. Nothing happened between us, though, although we shared the same bed. Khein respect
Khein couldn't stop himself from staring at the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his whole life. She was beautiful in and out, and her imperfections made her even perfect in his eyes.The way she stares at him makes him lose his mind, let alone when she starts kissing his lips as if it was hers to devour. Khein tried his best to keep his cool and not let his desire take over his right mind. However, as soon as she went on top of him and he felt the softness of her skin, it was as if the beast within him let loose and he found himself craving for more.And thus leading them to this position. Parting her legs apart, Khein settled himself in the middle of her parted thighs. He looked at his masterpiece. The love bites he left on her skin makes him feel proud of himself. She was his and no one should threaten his role in her life. He would be the only man that would be touching her and no one else."You're so beautiful," he uttered under his breath as he reached out his hands and c
"We'll be leaving tomorrow," Khein informed her. "Oh..." she uttered, kinda disappointed. She really loved staying there. The time she had spent with his grandparents and the time she had spent with Khein makes her want to stay there for the rest of her life. But then, she knew they had to face the reality again. "Are you okay?" Khein asked upon seeing her saddened expression.She nodded her head. "Y-Yeah... it's just that... I don't want to go back yet."He sighed as he pulled her close to him. "I understand, baby. Even me, I don't want to go back yet, but we have to. The company is waiting for me."She pouted. She wrapped her slender and flawless arms around his neck as he held her through the waist."What will happen, then?"He stared at her in the eyes. Both their hearts were in peace. "It's up to you if you want to stop working as my secretary or continue. I don't really mind at all." He kissed her forehead. "But yeah, I will be introducing you as my girlfriend."A gasp left he
Ustin and I were now facing each other across the living room. I was still mad at him for attacking Khein like that without thinking first. Although I understand where he is coming from, but still, I don't like the fact that he hurt Khein that way without my permission. Only I could touch him."Why are you here?" I asked the first thing that has been running in my head. Why is he here? And how did he manage to know where I was actually living? I mean, I left my old apartment.He raised her brow at me. "I came here to meet someone, didn't know you live here as well but— Ah-huh, hold up, this isn't my matter today. It's you. The last time you called me, you told me your address but when I went there the next day, you're no longer there! And I couldn't even look for you for a couple of days! My God, Rosey! You're literally a pain in the ass!"I was about to talk and fight but he raised his hand up in the air, stopping me."And nah, I will not be accepting any lies from you or else I'll ki
Rosey was able to convince Ustin to let go of Khein's issue. Ustin accepted it even though he was still uncomfortable with the fact that Rosey was able to find a lover for that short span of time. But yeah, it happens most of the time, and good thing Rosey and Khein were able to acknowledge their feelings as soon as it appeared. Less drama, that's it.However, there was still an issue about it. Ustin asked Rosey how she was able to get a job even though she's just in her early 20s. She was basically an undergraduate and disqualified to any job opportunities in a corporate world because she held no degree. Rosette explained how she faked her status, including her family's name, her age, etc., with no trace could be found in the system. She was good at it, especially because she grew up being exposed to the reality of life and the dark side of it."Did you tell him?" he asked through his quiet voice. He was afraid someone might accidentally hear them about the business their family posse
When it was time for breakfast, Ryan knocked on the door to call for the two and together, we went out of the room and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.When they got there, Khein was already having coffee and was facing his laptop early in the morning.Rosey immediately ran towards him and gave him a kiss on the cheeks, which made Ustin's face contoured with disgust.Khein gently put down his mug on the table and encircled his arm on her waist to kiss her on the forehead. "Good morning, baby. How was sleep?"Rosey's heart jumped. He looked so handsome and hot. "It was fine. How about you? Did you sleep well?""Yeah. I dreamt of you, by the way."Her eyes widened. "Really? What did I do in your dream, then?" She was so happy to hear that and honestly curious as to what he had dreamt of her last night. What could it be?Khein shook his head and gave her a knowing look. Her brows furrowed in curiosity but Khein laughed at her."You don't want to know about it," he said. "By the way
Emma left the room to give us some space and privacy. I clenched my fist as the tension between us thicken. I didn’t expect him to be back all of a sudden. Perhaps, it is a good thing as well."I don't want to stay here anymore," I declared with a steely gaze, my determination to leave this house firm in my mind. The sense of betrayal had eroded my trust in everyone around me, leaving me with a deep-seated desire to escape. "I will leave this house," I added, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions within.His eyes sharpened, and the tension in the room heightened as he gritted his teeth. My heart raced, but I maintained a composed exterior, unwilling to let him perceive any vulnerability. "Leave, you say? Ophelia, this is our house," he retorted after a brief pause, his voice laced with controlled intensity as if he were suppressing an inner turmoil. "You cannot leave."“Why not?” I hissed, my gaze narrowing into slits as I gritted my teeth. “Why can’t I leave?”“Because I don’

I've already made up my mind. I'll leave this place. I don't think there was a reason to stay. They were all lying to me, blatantly telling me lies that were obvious. They were deceiving me.Staying became increasingly challenging, especially since my husband, the supposed anchor for my presence here, was consistently absent. Despite their claims of my marriage, their inability to provide any evidence, not even a picture from my own wedding, added to my growing sense of disillusionment.I hung around for a while, hopeful that they'd eventually come clean. Unfortunately, that never happened – not even a bit.It became disheartening and hard to trust anyone.Disappointment settled in, directed at every individual under this roof.Leaving now feels not just necessary but also freeing. Staying doesn't do anything for me anymore. The lies have unraveled, showing a truth that lines up with what I've been feeling.I waited until everyone in the mansion was sound asleep before putting my esca
“Ma’am, your husband has already left,” Emma said, her tone cautious as she addressed me. These days, I wasn't in the best of moods, not because of any lingering sickness, but due to the nagging feeling that something was being kept from me. “He has left for work, and he’ll probably be back a week from now or so.” I nodded silently, then took a sip of the tea she had prepared for me. The revelation that my husband had left bothered me, but I chose not to show it. Why should I care or worry? After all, he didn’t even come to bid farewell himself, so why should I react as if I were genuinely disappointed. “Tell me, Emma,” I uttered, my tone seeking answers. “What were we like as a married couple before I lost my memories?” Caught off guard, Emma hesitated, her usually composed demeanor faltering for a moment. I closed my eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to steady myself before opening them again to face her. “I-I really didn’t know much, ma’am," she admitted, her words coming out
I was back to square one. My husband appeared to be keeping something from me, and I couldn't shake that feeling.When I inquired if he was worried, he didn't respond. Instead, he abruptly left the room, seemingly ignoring my question completely. I felt bewildered and offended. Is he truly my husband? Why isn't he behaving like one?Following that incident, he didn't visit or contact me to check on my well-being. I felt disappointed.But then again, it couldn't be helped.Days passed, and the absence of my husband weighed on me. The unanswered questions and the growing void in our interactions left me grappling with a sense of isolation. I yearned for some connection, for reassurance, but he remained elusive."He hasn't visited or even checked on me. Is this how a husband should act?" I questioned, my voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and sadness.Emma, always composed, offered a reassuring smile. "People cope with difficult situations in different ways, Miss Ophelia. Perhaps
I took a deep breath as I followed him into his office. The man, who claimed to be my husband, seated himself at the desk with casual ease. I stood there, feeling like a fool, waiting for his next command. His expression soured when he saw me hesitating. "What are you doing?" he demanded, his jaws clenching in annoyance. I blinked, my mind still trying to process the overwhelming information he had just laid upon me. I was shocked and utterly disoriented, unable to pull myself together and act with a rational mind. I felt like a leaf, caught in the unpredictable currents of this surreal situation. "What?" he snapped. "Come here." I slowly and reluctantly walked over to his side, my thoughts still swirling with the revelations. When I was close enough, my husband extended his arms towards me. I hesitated, glancing at his outstretched arm. "I won't hurt you, okay? So come here now," he said, annoyance evident in his voice. Biting my lower lip, cheeks burning with embarrassment, I g
Staring into his stunning blue eyes, which revealed no emotion, I couldn't help but notice his tall, masculine figure—undeniably handsome and attractive. Despite his physical perfection, I hesitated to accept him as my husband. In my dreams, the man who claimed that role held me with warmth and tenderness, his gaze filled with affection. The contrast between those dreams and the current reality was stark.The man in front of me felt distant, his demeanor cold and uninviting. An invisible barrier seemed to separate us, making it hard for me to connect the dream figure with the person standing before me. The discrepancy between the dream's warmth and the real-world chill heightened my confusion and left me questioning the authenticity of this man's claim to be my husband.I must have stood there like an idiot for what felt like an eternity. My gaze was fixed on him, my lips parting and closing like a gaping fish. Describing my state as surprised would be a severe understatement—I was ut
It felt as though the world had turned upside down, my head throbbing painfully as I attempted to recall the events that transpired during my time in a coma. The last tangible memory I could grasp was being in... a dark room.And beyond that point, my recollections became an impenetrable fog, leaving me grappling with the disorienting void that stretched between the past and my current state of consciousness.I gazed at the coffee cradled in my hands, its warmth and the sweet aroma wafting up, stirring a nostalgic feeling within me. Yet, my mind struggled to unravel the threads of memory, unable to pinpoint when or where I had last experienced this sensation. Was this scenario familiar, or was it a moment my consciousness had yet to encounter?“It’s time for your medicine now, ma’am,” Emma said as she handed me the pills that I have been taking for a month. Yes, it has been a month, and up until now I was still pondering what really happened, who am I, and where the hell I am. The onl
I jolted awake, gasping for breath, my eyes fluttering open to the harsh reality of my bedroom. Sweat trickled down from my forehead, soaking through the sheets as I grappled with the remnants of a haunting dream—a nightmare that lingered in my waking mind. As I lay there, heart racing and senses on high alert, I couldn't shake off the lingering unease that the dream left in its wake. The echo of a distant scream, the shadows that danced malevolently in the corners of my mind—everything felt vivid and disconcerting. I took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the remnants of the nightmare. Yet, the tendrils of fear still clung stubbornly, leaving me with an unsettling awareness that the boundary between dreams and reality was thinner than I had ever imagined. "Good morning," a voice suddenly exclaimed, prompting me to turn my gaze towards its source. There stood a woman in her mid-twenties, adorned in what appeared to be a maid's uniform. A tray laden with breakfast delicacies res
