Last Updated:

When Atty. Garette stood up, he saw his Dad looking at him with such intensity while his soon-to-be stepmom never even dared to glare at him. He took the microphone and started to talk with such an air of a confident man.
"Thank you. Well, what will I say aside from congratulations Dad? Oh, alright, I just wanted to tell you Dad how much I admire you in everything even when choosing a step-mom for me and my sister. Your taste is overwhelmingly similar to mine," then he laughed to make his statement sound like a joke. "It was just a joke Dad but one thing I am sure of, I know you will have a happy life afterward, having a woman as young and as beautiful as that woman beside you." He added as he gestured his hand toward the place of the bride-to-be, smiling, but in his thoughts, it was a smirk actually.
The guests cheered and applauded Atty. Garette. He beamed in his most charismatic smile and bowed his head jokingly.
"Wow, such a great message out there dude." Atty. Hector said smiling wide.
“Sarcasm, or what?” Atty. Garette asked Atty. Hector with a lifted eyebrow, which the latter only answered with a loud laugh.
The engagement party ended and Atty. Garette immediately approached his father and his new fiancee dragging his friends with him.
"Congratulations Dad and soon-to-be Stepmom?" Atty. Garette's smile was from ear to ear as he extended his hand to his father for a handshake.
"Thank you Garette. By the way son, in case you have not met yet, may I introduce to you my fiancee, Dianthe," Mr. Raffy Le Brione introduced his wife-to-be to his only son. His eyes were keenly looking at his son's eyeballs as he made a fake smile toward his new fiancee.
"Nice meeting you Dianthe," Atty. Garette greeted her with such a mysterious smile as he extended his hand to her for a handshake also. His hand floated in the air for a while before his soon-to-be stepmom accepted it for a handshake. Atty. Garette gently squeezed her hand and looked at her with squinting eyes.
"Dad and Dianthe, I would like to introduce to you also my best buddies here. They are also lawyers. This is Atty. Hector; this is Atty. Paolo and this dude is Atty. Greg." Atty. Garette said while pointing his friends one by one to his father after he ended his handshaking with his new stepmom.
His three friends shook his father's friends one at a time and then his stepmom.
"Dad, we will go ahead. My friends here are dying to swim in our man-made waterfalls." Atty. Garette stated while giving Dianthe a mysterious look, that only the two of them could understand.
"It's okay, son. You go ahead and all of you, enjoy and have fun on the ranch while I and my new fiancee will stay here for a while." Don Raffy said, smiling.
Atty. Greg nodded to Don Raffy Le Brione and then suddenly looked at Atty. Garette, noticing his unfathomable expression.
II
The next day, Mr. Raffy Le Brione, returned to their mansion inside the ranch without his fiancee. He said Dianthe decided to enjoy herself in the swimming pool for a little while.
"Garette, can we talk? Follow me in the library." His Dad said as he rolled his wheelchair ahead to their library room, assisted by his driver.
Atty. Garette and his friends were in the living room that time when Don Raffy Le Brione arrived and requested a talk with his son.
His three friends nodded at him and motioned for him to follow his father.
While walking, following his father, Atty. Garette was thinking about what would be the agenda of their talk. He just shrugged his shoulder and walked fast.
As they got inside their library room, his father motioned for him to sit on the couch inside.
"What is it Dad?" he asked calmly after sitting on the couch. He looked at his father with curiosity in his eyes.
"Garette, you can see that I am already having trouble moving around. I need you here already. We had a lot of business and properties to take care of and I could not count on your sister. Can I count on you this time son?" His father stated with seriousness on his face.
Atty. Garette was surprised. What is he going to do on this dairy farm and cattle ranch? He is a lawyer and a good lawyer at that goodness! he thought after hearing his father's words.
"I know Garette, this is not your passion or your interest, but at the end of the day, all of these things will be transferred to you and your sister." His father said again.
"How about your soon-to-be wife Dad? Is she not getting anything?" He asked gently so that he would not sound like questioning his father's decision to marry again.
"It depends on you Garette and your sister. If you will not take over our businesses, then I have no other recourse but to appoint my fiancee as the new CEO of all of these businesses, and eventually, of course, she will be entitled to more." His father frankly said while looking at him deeply.
Atty. Garette glared at his father's back. "I am a lawyer Dad, I have no interest or even enough knowledge to run this dairy farm and cattle ranch."
"So, does it mean Garette, you cannot accept my request?"
Atty. Garette looked at his father again and said, "Give me some time to think and sort things out Dad," he muttered while still looking at his father with an unfathomable expression.
A smile slowly crept through Don Raffy Le Brione's lips when he heard his son's answer. "Alright Garette, at least you are giving me a little hope. I will give you until Monday morning before you leave this house, I want to know your answer."
Atty. Garette furrowed. "That soon Dad?"
His father nodded and replied with certainty, "Yes! You take it or leave it!"
Surprised, he just looked at his father without any words coming from his mouth. For a certain moment, both of them fell silent.
"And one more thing Garette; never touch my fiancee while I am still alive or until I permit you to do so. Respect her as you respect your mother!"
And Atty. Garette suddenly remembered how he kissed his father's fiancee, two times already.

I Still thinking about what his father told him, Atty. Garette felt confused. This is the first time that he felt, his world might be turning upside down. Since the time that he steps his foot in his teen years, he already crazily knew that he wanted to be the best lawyer that he could be, which he could proudly say now that he did and would love to continue doing. Taking his father’s wishes would mean surrendering part or worst most of his lawyer’s job. Would he take it? “Hey, Dude, what’s eating you up? I could sense that something is bothering you.” It was Atty. Greg, who asked while taking a seat beside him. They were then at the side of the balcony of their mansion, where they could freely view the man-made waterfalls. Seeing the man-made waterfalls, Atty. Garette could not help to sigh. That waterfall was a landmark that would be engraved in his mind. It is where the turning point in his life has drastically moved to three hundred sixty-degree turns. “Hey,” Atty. Greg said ag

So, before they returned to Cambridge the next day, Atty. Garette had made up his mind already. “Dad, I accept your offer. Just give me at least a month to settle everything in our law firm,” he said as he sat on the couch in their living room, in front of his Dad.A warm smile suddenly flashes all over the face of Raffy O’ Brein. “Good son. Alright, I see you here then, a month from now,” he replied with joy in his voice.“But Dad, I cannot totally let go of my profession. I need to be in the office at least once a week and I need to attend the hearings of the crucial cases that I am currently in-charged,” he explained to his father, to which his father simply n

I“Holy cow, Hector, Brenda is coming. We need to go now.” Atty. Garette immediately stood up and walked going out of the restaurant followed by Atty. Hector, who just waved at the woman, who looked at them in return, while gritting her teeth.Brenda was the daughter of one of their clients, who made their law firm the retained counsel of his Company. The woman is actually an heiress to a motel conglomerate. “Garette, why are you running from Brenda? You had s*x already?” Atty. Hector's eyes were rolling like a ball in anticipation of Atty. Garette’s admittance.“Think what you want to think Hector, it might be true.” Atty. Garette grunted at Atty. Hector, and then walked fast going to their office. Upon arrival in the office, he gathered his things and decided to leave early. He has a hint that Brenda would follow him into his office.“Lina, if someone calls and looks for me, what your answer would be?” Atty. Garette asked, checking if her legal secretary still remembered his numbe

Don’t worry anyway, your case is in good hands with our assigned lawyer.” Atty. Garette replied to the woman after giving her an emotionless glance.Not too satisfied with Atty. Garette’s answer, Ms. Glacy smiled and replied, “That would be fine Atty. Garette, as long as I am allowed to call you or see you from time to time, should I have some confusion with what is happening in my case or complaints with your assigned Lawyer? Would that be okay Attorney? Garette?”His three Lawyer friends simultaneously looked at Atty. Garette, trying to control their laughter. They could already feel the hidden annoyance of Atty.

I am a very busy man you know,” he

“What are you doing, Atty. Garette? Remove your hands from me,” she said, hissing, but he did not abide her. He even tightened his arm around her shoulders and kept her tucked beside him. When they sat down, Dianthe looked at Atty. Garette with disdain on her face. With raised eyebrows, Atty. Garette said in a very low voice, “Why, would you want to tell him that you are going to marry my father, who is more than twice your age?” His voice was mocking and she felt so disgusted. “Age does not matter, Atty. Garette; that is what I believed in,” spitefully, she replied to him. “Ow really? What if my father is a mere poor taho vendor? Would you still answer me like that?” With a smirk, he asked. “Yes. As long as he acts like a real human, a real man. Now satisfied with my answer, Atty. Garette?” She said while trying to paste a comical expression on her face. He laughed sarcastically and shook his head. “Really?” “Yeah, really,” she replied with a final tone. He just laughed again

I “Am I disturbing you?” Atty. Garette asked with a narrowed forehead. He entered his father’s room and did not even care if his fiancee was inside. Don Raffy looked up at his son and shook his head. “Not at all, son. I just asked Dianthe to change my shirt into something that I would feel more comfortable with.” “Ahh, I see. Dad, I need to hire my executive assistant, someone with experience in Resorts and Hotels, and it would be nice if she had a background working on a dairy farm and cattle ranch too.” Atty. Garette said while giving Dianthe a glance as she finally put on the new shirt of his father. Chuckling, Don Raffy shot his son with a mysterious smile. “No need Garette, I have already assigned Dianthe to assist you. We have hired a new male nurse to take care of me while she is working in the office with you.” Then he looked at Dianthe and smiled at her. The latter nodded and made a forced smile. Atty. Garette’s brows raised as he heard what his father had just said. He s

I “Dianthe, come to my office now,” Atty. Garette said the moment Dianthe picked up her office landline. Without waiting for her reply, he immediately hung up. He just wants to pester her. Atty. Garette grinned, waiting for her to come, retaliating. But, a few minutes passed, no Dianthe came into his office and he was the one who became pissed off. He stood up from his swivel chair and popped his head from his office door and looked at Dianthe, who was sitting so relaxed in her office chair. “Dianthe, I told you to come to my office, right?” Atty. Garette could not help to show his irritation. The whole staff, especially the women, simultaneously looked at their new CEO and gasped. “Goodness, Dianthe, can we just change position?” Jules, her harlot officemate murmured to Dianthe. “I will be glad if we can, Jules, but sadly, we cannot,” Dianthe said as she stood up and walked toward the CEO’s office. Jules followed Dianthe’s back with an envious look. The whole staff knew that Dian

I Atty. Garette went out of his office with knitted eyebrows to go home. He looks like a madman ready to amuck. Upon reaching their cattle ranch, he immediately went to his father’s room but he was not there. “Leila, where is Dad?” he asked the first maid that he saw while walking near his Dad’s room. “Ey Sir, he is with Ma’am Dianthe at the side of the swimming pool.” Leila, a woman in her late thirties, replied and smiled before excusing herself from Atty. Garette. Cursing, he went to his room instead. At that moment, Don Raffy and Dianthe were having some pizzas while discussing some important matters pertaining to Don Raffy’s health. Suddenly, the old man craved for the thin-crust pizza from a popular pizza house in their area. So, Dianthe had one big box of pizza delivered to them. “Dianthe, by the way, I have already called the HR Manager and told her about the new Executive Assistant that I appointed for Garette,” Don Raffy said, smiling mischievously. “He will enjoy havi

He would not let this moment end without her wanting him more.They were grasping for breath already when their kiss ended. Dianthe’s eyes were as wide as the full moon. “What just happened between her and Atty. Garette?” she thought frantically as her face grew so red out of embarrassment while Atty. Garette was looking at her grinning from ear to ear.“Was that the sweetest and most passionate kiss you ever tasted, Dianthe?” he said, whispering while looking at her red and almost swollen lips.“No! That’s the most bitter kiss I ever tasted! You are a lousy kisser!” Dianthe said as she stormed out of the office, fuming with madness but with a face as red as a cherry because of embarrassment.Atty. Garette followed her back with his squinting eyes, cursing her for calling him a lousy kisser. “Just wait, this lousy kisser will bring you to heaven so that y

Garreth reached for her shoulders and pulled her closer to him."You want me too, Dianthe, right?" he asked with a gentle voice while looking at her deeply. It was as if he was waiting for an affirmation from her.Dianthe gave Atty. Garette a sullen glance before removing his hands from her shoulders. She turned her back and got inside her room. “Overconfident, hmmp!” she hissed before closing the door.But before she could completely close the door, Atty. Garette’s right hand stopped it and he looked at her with squinting eyes. “Stop, pretending Dianthe,” he said with his eyes squinting more. He swept her off her feet and carried her until they reached the bed. He lowered his body and gently tossed her on the bed and then pinned her as he lay his body on top of her.Suddenly in panic, Dianthee’s eyes grew wide while looking at him. “Ammpp.” Her lips were sealed before she

I Her mind was already clouded with passion, and her heart was overwhelmed with her long-time kept love for Atty. Garette. When she felt the naked body of Atty. Garette on top of her and his lips grazing her shoulder blade, a sudden chill ran all over her body. Suddenly, there was an argument between her heart and her brain. She felt him suck her right nipple while his hand massaged her left. The sensation was making her high, and her mind seemed to be not working anymore. It was her body, her passion, and her love for him that was overpowering her. His lips crawled down her stomach passing through her navel, and then to her surprise, he slowly parted her legs and like an expert diver, his tongue dived inside her pus*y. She winched as she felt that sensation that almost made her dizzy with ecstasy. “Garette! Ohh,” she moaned as his lips this time were sucking her clit while her middle finger was getting in and out of her pus*y. Atty. Garette seemed to feel more energized and ag

I “Can I take this seat, Ms. Dianthe?” the invader to her planned solitude asked, although he already sat beside her. For a moment, Dianthe just looked at him with an unfathomable expression. “You sat already, can I still refuse you to sit down?” she asked with coldness. “No, you cannot. I was the one who spent thousands of money to have this specific break time place to be built for my staff. So, I practically own this.” “Then, you should have not asked me,” Dianthe replied with sarcasm while mentally rolling her eyes. “What are you doing here, by the way?” he asked again. “I just wanted a quiet place, an alone time.” “Oh, you are not alone now, but I can be quiet if you wanted to,” he said smiling but Dianthe gave him a sullen look. “Atty. Garette, will you just please get inside your office and leave me alone here? I will return in a few moments,” she retorted with a hint of irritation. “Why are you so afraid whenever I am near you Dianthe?” he asked instead of obeying her

How long have you been back in the city?” she asked with a flirtatious smile as she hooked her hand to his right arm.Atty. Garette side glanced at Dianthe and looked at the woman holding his right arm with his cold eyes. He simply removed her hand from his arm and then looked at Dianthe again which caught the attention of the woman. She looked at Dianthe from head to foot and then lifted her right eyebrow.Clearing his throat, Atty. Garette took hold of Dianthe’s right hand and showed it and forcefully smiled at the woman.“Brenda, this is Dianthe, my fiancee,” he said which could almost make Dianthe faint in shock. “Fiancee?!” this word echoed in Dianthe’s mind.Brenda with knitted eyebrows glared at Dianthe and then exclaimed with exaggeration.“Fiancee?!!!”The three other lawyer friends of Atty.

Garette looked at her with an amused smile. "You are good at bargaining Dianthe. That's nice. Sure, I will increase your salary and you will give a travel allowance," he said granting her demands."Alright. I will be your overall Executive Assistant then or is it much appropriate to say, Personal Assistant?" she said with a raised eyebrow, with her arms still crossed in front of her chest.Atty. Garette just shrugged off his shoulders. "Whatever you wanted yourself to be called," he said as if he does not care.“Great. I accept my additional responsibilities then,” she said with such an expression that no one can determine if she was happy, annoyed, or what.“Good, now start your work. These files are confidential. Check these files and give me back those documents related to the health and mental condition of the respondent.

You are acting as if we are lovers who have never seen each other for a long time,” Atty. Garette said chuckling while he was looking at the open arms of Atty. Paolo.Atty. Paolo laughed more. He walked toward them and he was as if wanting to embrace Dianthe but Atty. Garette, slapped his arm.“Cut that off, Paolo. You are overacting,” Atty. Garette said while frowning at Atty. Paolo.“Alright, alright. I am just happy you came back and much happier that you came back here with Miss Dianthe with you,” he said while winking at Dianthe. “Hi Miss Dianthe,” he said further while extending his hand to her for a handshake.Dianthe, was already smiling wide with the naughtiness of Atty.

IWith shaking knees Dianthe took steps backward to avoid Atty. Garette but the latter seemed to be eager to do whatever was in his mind. To her horror further, she felt her back on the wall. She is at her dead end.Putting her in between his arms as he put them on the wall, Dianthe could not think of anything else but the cool manly scent of him, which intoxicates her, putting her mind in a dissolution state.“Dianthe, I don’t know what you did to me, but you really charmed me. Tell me why did you choose my Dad over younger men?” Atty. Garette asked with his face just an inch away from her, fanning her face with his cool and menthol breath.“I don’t want to answer your question, Atty. Garette, because I believe it is none of your business,” Dianthe retorted while trying to push him away.“Was it because of my Dad’s money, Dianthe?” Atty. Garette persisted without letting her go. “I have as much money as my Dad,” he added.“Let me go and stop insulting me. Everything is not about mone

I already packed my things,” Dianthe said while nodding. “I meant not only about the packing of things, Dianthe. I wanted to know if you readied yourself already against my son’s charisma and possible seductions and advances?” Don Raffy looked at her with a raised eyebrow and Dianthe could not help to blush.She looked back at Don Raffy a little ashamed, “I am not yet sure about that Don Raffy. Should I really need to go with him? Can I just refuse now?”“Dianthe, Dianthe, my dear. There is no time to think of that now. Just ready yourself for a week while with him.” Dianthe knelled in front of Don Raffy’s wheelchair and hold his hands. “Sir, please just ask me to do something else, I will abide with all my heart,” she said softly in a pleading manner. She is afraid of herself actually. How can she be
