“What else is there to explain, Ima?” Darren grabbed his wife's grip that had slipped. “Seriously, she is my cousin.”Legally, Maureen was indeed registered as the child of Darren's biological aunt, Natasha. The reason is none other than because Natasha and Abra's marriage is legally official and benefits both parties. Meanwhile, Maureen's biological mother, Aya, only got legally married a year after Darren's aunt passed away.Complicated. The majority of the local community still considers biracial relationships to be a close family that cannot marry. So, Darren felt safe referring to the twins as his cousins even though they were not blood.“Suite room only, ma'am, the regular one.” Darren immediately confirmed the room reservation, along with handing over his ID card and cashless payment to the receptionist on duty.“Is there really no secret?” Iqlima's peaceful impression had already turned spoiled when she found Darren's gaze continuing to avoid answering. “You're wasting your fa
"How is she, Uncle?" Serena tried to contact the other contacts in her message room.Her feet kept stomping the floor every time she walked towards the terrace barrier, searching among the crowds of the pool, then quiet again at the change in Maureen's cell phone screen."Oh, My! Aunt Aya keeps calling me again. What do you think, Uncle?"Serena's thin voice tends to get rowdy, disrupting Darren's concentration on checking the suitability of the hotel facilities he had passed through with the typing of the report.[Why must connect with Ririn again?]The name hasn't changed since Darren carried the baby version of Maureen. It's not hard to remember.Disappointed, yes. Maureen seemed to be taking an increasingly distant path from him, heard from his grandfather's complaints every time we met.Parties and parties, not to mention unfortunate expenses.Though for Darren himself, Maureen's consumptive level is still reasonable compared to his wife. All have the same basis, attracting the e
Maureen's nimble fingers sassily explored the lines of Darren's face, savoring the rough sensation of the fine hairs that formed sideburns along the mature man's jawline.Maureen's elbows rest on Darren's sturdy shoulders as her white fingernails dig into each strand of hair that emits a seductive, masculine scent.With one pull, Darren looked up, facing a face without distance. The corners of his sense of smell met as if sharing a breath.In an instant, she savored the sweetness of Maureen's lips.It's not a patch like the first time, but the little sucks Maureen does, luring Darren to explore further in the sweet wine-laced oral cavity.True, Darren liked the taste Maureen gave him. However, the mistake he made went too far.Darren's big hand has already landed on Maureen's unobstructed nub, squeezing her soft nub until consciousness gives way.The wide eyes of the woman in front of Darren seemed to be begging for more, but there was no continuation."You can't do this, Rin." Darren
"Are you crazy, Maureen?" Serena's shouting really disturbed Maureen's sleep.Even though the bright sunlight had already penetrated through the curtains, Maureen pulled the blanket up even further to cover her head, especially blocking her ears even though she knew it would have no effect."You have to tell me! I'm not calm and I've been waiting all night for an explanation from you!" Serena continued to demand, tugging at Maureen's blanket until it fell off entirely. "Do you know what time it is?""You don't need to shout weirdly, ya." Maureen opened her eyes lazily. Her hand reached for the cell phone on the wireless charger on the nightstand and found the screen showing ten past. "Ah..., I'm still going to bed."She grabbed a pillow just to cover her face that still felt numb in some parts. His head was so heavy to shift. However, his stomach was beating the war drums, struggling and collecting taxes early in the day."Are you hungry?" Serena's laughter boomed in her room. The sid
Maureen had just finished stacking five volumes of copies of her two-hundred-page thesis that had passed the post-trial revision at the faculty dean. The temporary graduation certificate was already in hand.The problem was that Maureen's unemployment would end soon if she chose to look for a job.The complaints of her friends who were busy with the waiting period for job applications during her college days were enough to cause headaches, let alone her who had never been in the field with high demands.The title of being the granddaughter of a big businessman alone makes her respected enough to hang his leg in a local company during field work practice."Hi, Maureen!" Aletta's reprimand, who had just placed the box of copies on the academic dean's desk, forced Maureen to put on a friendly face. "I'm so sorry about the party. You must be really shocked."Fake? That's how the environment taught Maureen.At least Maureen was grateful that her parents didn't push her too hard to follow t
"Are you sure wanna go shopping wearing that?"Darren kept asking the same question from the moment they left home until they were in front of a well-known local boutique because Maureen chose to leave without changing clothes. Still in her oversized t-shirt and short jeans with flip-flops.In other big cities or abroad it might not be a problem, but in a city where appearance is still a big deal, she thought Maureen would definitely be labeled badly."Who's watching anyway?" Maureen deliberately squeezed her two assets as she spoke while they were still in the car. "This is freedom! I've been patched up all day.""Your shirt is white, Rin." Darren couldn't deny that seeing Maureen's behavior aggravated the pain in his head. For a long time Darren felt like he was going crazy from holding himself back."You see?" Maureen deliberately cupped hers from below to full view even though she knew Darren would ignore her. "Remember the color and shape of it, Uncle?"Darren couldn't swear even
"How stupid! Why would I offer her something like that?" Darren thought to himself the whole way home after dropping Maureen off.He still imagines every detail of his verbal agreement with his cousin, which turned out to be emotionally draining. Like Mr. Wiratama's describe, Maureen is not an easy girl to conquer.Darren had to promise things that could hurt his life choices."Great night?" Laughing at himself, Darren's brain drew memories of every detail of their interaction.The warmth and tightness of Maureen six years ago, every curve she was able to touch these days, as well as the lips that were so much fun to enjoy.It's hypocritical of him to say he's not tempted.Maureen's sensual sighs while rocking in the car alone make him wonder how it would feel if they actually did the forbidden thing. Anywhere and anytime.The fantasies in Darren's head were running wild. He had already wiped his face roughly countless times even though there was no sweat on it. No matter how diverted
"Damn!" cursed Maureen when her landlord opened the door.Without waiting to be invited, Maureen targeted the pantry near the entrance and surveyed the contents of the refrigerator. She placed the original small sling bag containing her wallet and cell phone on a spare pantry cabinet."Why else would you come in all riled up?" Serena, the owner who was surprised by Maureen's arrival, was busy fixing the outer layer of the thin overalls and tying her hair high."You know what? I was told to do hard labor!"Maureen opened the juice box from the refrigerator. Her hands deftly searched for a glass on the cabinet's drain rack to pour the liquid contents of the threadbare orange and quickly drank like she was finishing a long-distance run."Hold on. Hold on. What do you mean by labor?" Rather than being shocked by Maureen's habit of having no manners every time she came to visit, Serena was more worried about the purpose of the labor, which she thought led to a one-sided satisfactory agreem
