"I'm very sorry. I know it's all my fault. Maybe if I hadn't just gotten sick you wouldn't have had to go through all of this." Carnation cried at what his father said. He touched her cheek and caressed her. "I should be the one taking care of you. I should be the one protecting my family and not you—"
"Daddy. . . Please I like to help and take care of our family," she defended herself. Her eyes welled up with tears. She went to her father's house after leaving Wren's. Carnation was in the taxi thinking about telling her family the truth about her job, her and Wregan's break-up, and the tragedy that happened to her a few months ago. She wanted to be truthful with her family and herself—it was time to face the facts.
Of course, her daddy and Aunt Leonora were shocked and really hurt by what they found out. If Leonora knew the hardship Carnation went through in her relationship with Wregan, she would have just kept quiet and wouldn't have teased her. Every ti
"I will not be subjected to an advanced physical examination," Carnation strongly denied. "But I can consider serving you tonight, Mr. Lust, sir..." Luca couldn't answer right away, Carnation's offer to him was unexpected. His server tonight? What exactly does she mean? Wait, is referring to— Damn it!He met Carnation's gaze on him and frowned at her asking, "A-are you sure?""Yes! You're my boss, why not?" Luca swallowed hard. He was suddenly tense. Is it true that she wants to serve him? Then that part of his body suddenly became tense. Damn it, calm down buddy!"I-I see." His gaze turned to the bookshelf in their opposite direction. "I have a private room here," he said and nervously looked back at Carnation.Carnation smiled. "Okay! Let's start so we can finish right away." Luca was swallowed hard again. F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! He is getting more excited, damn maybe he will suddenly cum out of time!Luca got up from the swivel chair and went to
Carnation didn't hesitate to leave Wren's house, despite the fact that she hadn't heard everything yet. She hurried back to their house, boarding the taxi that was parked outside Wren's subdivision. Francoise' words were all that remained in Carnation's head. What did Francoise mean when she said Wren was their older brother? Were she and Wregan related? Carnation sniffed her sore sinuses. She thought her life's shocking revelations were over. She thought she could start forgiving the Leath brothers and end her tumultuous relationship with them, but it wasn't over yet. What she couldn't figure out. How did she come to be involved with the Leaths? "Daddy!" she exclaimed as soon as she walked into their home. If anyone knew her true identity and connection to the Leaths, it could only be her father. "Carnation, what are you shouting about? Your daddy is in the garden." It was her stepmother who looked confused in the kitchen because of her screaming. "How i
Carnation couldn't say anything. She simply stood on the side of the road, staring into the eyes of the young man with his hand outstretched. She was surprised to see him here. Why is her boss standing in front of their home? "Carnation!!" she heard her father say from inside the house. She returned her gaze to their home before turning to face Luca once more. He continued to smile at her, not lowering his outstretched hand. Carnation heard her father call her name again, but before he could reach her outside the house, Carnation reached for Luca's outstretched hand, and with quick movements, he led her into the shotgun seat, and when the young man took the wheel, he immediately pulled the vehicle away from their house. They were both quiet on the journey, the young man not speaking to her. Carnation also lacked the courage to speak about what had happened earlier. She was perplexed by what she had discovered about her own life. She wants nothing more than to go away
"Did you like the food?" Luca inquired, wiping his mouth with a tissue. "I'm not sure if you enjoy the food I prepare." She laughed slightly at what the young man said. She is not picky about food, nor is she greedy, but she is very full from the dinner he prepared. "Yes, I couldn't imagine that you're good at cooking!" she laughed as she drank from the glass in front of her. "Yeah... I'm a good lover as well, maybe you want to try—" "I haven't forgotten that you're a virgin," she interrupted the young man. Luca frowned at her and rose from his seat. He took a bottle of wine and two goblets from the mini bar. "Now what? You're going to get me drunk; did you really plan this?" "What?" Luca exclaimed as he arranged the items on the dining table. "I'm not sure what you're saying; I'd just like to invite you to join me for some wine in the observatory room." "You have an observatory here? But this is a cave. We're at the bottom of
"I'd like you to meet Lilith," Luca said as he pressed the black button on the wall. In the living room, a large painting of a snake tilts to the left side of the wall. When a 2-foot-tall by 3-foot-wide by 8-foot-long cage appeared behind the painting, Carnation's eyes widened. "Wow!" Carnation exclaimed, speechless at what she saw. "She's a white albino reticulated python," Luca said, pointing at the large snake in front of them. Carnation couldn't take her gaze away from the young man's pet python. The enormous snake is stunning. It has a very nice color, which is a mixture of white and yellow. "She's beautiful...," she exclaimed again as she moved closer to the cage's glass. "Can you tell me the name of your pet anaconda in Manila? I don't recall you mentioning it." "Oh, the green anaconda; her name is Eve," she smiled as she nodded to the young. "Did you know, when I was young, I had a snake named Adam. But I'm not sure where he is now or
Carnation screamed as Luca threw him onto the room's super king size bed. "Can't you just be careful? Do you really have to throw me out?" she yelled at the young man standing in front of her.Carnation frowned even more as the young man only said, "I'm sorry.""Why did you bring me here?" she asked and looked around. It was only now that she could take a closer look at the great Mr. Lust's room; the first time she entered this room, she couldn't even look at it."What are you doing?" Suddenly the young man took off his clothes in front of her without saying a word."Undressing myself?""I know! I mean, why are you undressing in front of me!" She didn't even know where to focus because of Luca's fine body. "What? Dress up Luca!""It's too boring if we just hang out here doing nothing," Luca said, not stopping to remove the covering from his body."Stop saying that, and stop taking your clothes off!""I'm not scared of you," Luc
"Likewise," Carnation replied defiantly to Tilaine, ignoring her evil gaze. Yes, Tilaine is more beautiful, sexy, and wealthy, but she isn't going down without a fight! This is nearly perfect... Tilaine has everything a person like her who has been deprived by the world in many aspects of life could want. But she had the courage to fight the woman because she knew she would be the one to win Luca's heart in the end.A mocking grin was Tilaine's response to her. It crossed its arms in front of the chest. "That's good to hear. We don’t have to like each other. I think you know the real relationship Luca and I have." She was momentarily stunned but nodded softly in response to the woman."And are you comfortable with that?" Tilaine's meaningful question. That Carnation frowned. "Don't rejoice just yet because we know I can do something to make him mine, and the wind will change."Carnation couldn't stop clenching her fist. What does this witch want to say in
"Where are you guys?" Carnation asked, frowning on the other end of the line. What time is it? Her friends still are not in the location they agreed. "I thought it was 4 o'clock? What time is it? I have to work at Casa de Lujuria at 6 o'clock!" "How about me? Do you think I don't? We have a performance with Lizette, don't we? Just wait, we're almost there!" RJ said over the phone. They agreed to meet right now, and Vinn, another friend whom Carnation hadn't seen in a long time, is with RJ. "Yes, so hurry up and get your ass here!" "Duh... We'll be fine. You have the Big Boss' heart; he'll not be angry if we're late; after all, you shouldn't be working in Casa de Lujuria because why not, madam," RJ jokes. "Stop it, will you? Bye. Let's just meet here. I'll wait for you guys inside the Cafe," she said, and ended the phone call. Carnation went straight to the counter to order something to drink, and when she saw Angelo, her former coworkers, shocked expr
"I thought you're the one who's gonna pick me up?" Wregan sensed that his girlfriend was sulking. He secretly smiled but immediately wiped it out of his lips. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I won't be able to finish this immediately. I'll just see you in the house.""Okay.. I understand." Carnation sweetly said but he's sure that his girlfriend is already in a sour mood. Damn, he needs to make it up to her later. "Okay. I'll see you later.""Bye–" he immediately ended the call when he saw Kara with a sales lady. "Here, this is the only thing I saw that can fit her. The stones of the other rings are too AO." The lady presented a beautiful ring in front of him. "I like it. Simple yet perfectly beautiful." He commented that it made his best friend smile. "Just like her, right? That's how detailed you describe her to me.""Yeah.. Just like her." There was a smile on his lips when he answered. "I'm so excited to meet her in person." Kara smiled as she said that. Tonight, Wregan is plannin
Carnation's POV"Hi," Wregan greeted me with a little smile. My grip on the glass of water tightened. "I'm glad that you finally gave up hiding from me." If only I had the strength to be like Captain America I might have broken the glass in my hand with my grip on it so tightly. The thickness of his face, he has the guts to tell me that even though it all started with him."I'm not hiding from you, it's just that my stomach can't handle watching your cheating face in front me," I calmly yet firmly said. I glared back at him. I won't let myself lose to him this time, even though it hurts, I won't let him see my vulnerable state right in front of him. His jaw clenched. "Will you believe me if I'll tell you that nothing happened between me and Kar–""Don't even mention that b*tch's name." His gaze on me sharpened. Seems like he didn't like what I just called the woman he loves. The fuck, it's because of these bastards thag swearing became my hobby. "Nothing happened," he insisted bu
Carnation's POVI lost consciousness due to chest tightness, I had difficulty breathing, and when I woke up it was dawn. I forced myself to get up to go down to the first floor. There I caught up with Wregan sleeping on the long sofa with no top on. I never saw Kara again, no trace of the woman in the whole flat.I sneaked out. I couldn’t stand Wregan’s presence, I just remembered the sh*t that he made last night. I left his condo with only my cellphone and wallet. Opposite the condominium building I hailed a taxi and drove to St. Luke’s, I hung out and ate breakfast at a nearby fast food chain.I no longer care if other customers look at me. How can they not when I am crying while eating? To the extent that my tears have become my rice soup.I stayed in that fast food chain for god knows how long as long as I knew my ass was getting thicker after a few hours of sitting. The staff didn't bother telling me off either so I stayed there first even though I looked like a fool. I
Petunia's POV"KISS! KISS! KISS!" I couldn’t help but roll my eyes because of the screams of the guests. I was even more irritated by the sound of goblets being beaten with utensils. A waiter passed in front of me. I took from its carrying tray a glass of Negroni, a cocktail drink. I took a sip from my drink, and I immediately tasted the delicious mixture of vermouth rosso, campari and gin."Whooa !!" The guests shouted again when the newlyweds accepted their request for a kiss. My jaw clenched and held the negroni glass tightly.The scene was stressing me out! Too painful in the eyes, especially in my heart. Why did I even go to this wedding? Annoyed, I drank the rest of my glass, and when the waiter passed by again, I took another serve of wine."Aren't you going to get drunk with that?" I raised an eyebrow at what I heard. I faced the man who spoke behind me. It was Wregan Leath, a friend of the groom like me. But we are not close to each other, they are in a different c
Wregan's POV"I was surprised to learn that you will be visiting here at home." A beautiful woman approached us. I couldn't help but get a second look at her face. She was like a living Barbie doll talking and walking in front of me. What's her name again? Tilaine? I've heard her name before. If I'm not mistaken she was the woman Luca had a relationship with in New York back then. I was not aware that she was a Doukas. Who is she among the Doukas sisters? I wonder."I'm sorry. It's just that Wregan is insistent, I don't have a choice because this jerk is too stubborn," Kara apologized to her cousin. I, on the other hand, just smiled sheepishly. What will I say?"I see. Daddy is already waiting in his office. Will you all come inside?" Tilaine asked. I still couldn’t help but stare at her beautiful face."No. Only the three of them will come inside to talk to your daddy," Primus replied and pointed at me, Luca and Carnation."Okay. You can come with me, guys." She led the way an
Luca's POVI was bathing on my own barf when I woke up on the couch of a living room. The place is unfamiliar and I can’t remember how I got to this place. This place looks like a condo of someone, but who could it be? I knew no one who could take me to this place, and especially I had no friends at university to take care of a drunk like me."You're awake…"I looked up to see the man, he looks familiar yet I can't remember exactly who he is--wait, I remember. "You were one of those weirdos," I claimed pointing at him. I can't be wrong, he's with the man who always follows me wherever I go. I can't definitely be wrong."If those guys out there you were referring to, yes. I'm one of them. It's hard to accept but those crazy people are my friends." He was referring to the men on the balcony of the unit, they seemed to be arguing."Your friends are crazy….""I know right." He chuckled and sat down on the other end of the couch where I was sitting. "I'm Gregory Zahied. I’m not actual
Sloan’s POV"This is Wregan Leath and Gludox Portoni, my fuck'n bestfriends. They were the ones that I've been telling you about,those guys who were a chick magnet!" I examined the two gorgeous men Primus introduced to me.I first noticed the almost perfect face of the man he called Wregan. Like me, he's absolutely tall, but I’m sure I’m a few centimeters taller than him. He has eyes like fox and tiger, fierce, sharp and seems to be hiding a lot of things but it also looks full of pleasure when its eyes sparkle. His nose was a perfect shape with a small mole on the lower end. I won’t be surprised if it’s true that he's considered a casanova. It's already obvious in his presence. I then looked at the man Primus called Gludox. Its skin is so white that it seems to have beaten snow white to whiteness; it is a little shorter than Wregan and I, but Primus is still shorter than this man. It has a charming cat-like appearance but is unreliable. His cuteness is like something cute but d
Carnation’s POV"Are you sure?" Samantha asked when I declined her offer to take me to the bus station.“No, I'm still going to the library. I have to borrow books for my report on Friday,” I explained and smiled at him.She frowned and forced herself to nod. "Alright, but tomorrow, we'll be the one to drive you home okay? Take care on your way, you know perverts nowadays are lurking around!" I nodded and waved at her. She went inside her service car and waved at me through the window. I went back to the school building to go to the library. I actually have a report on Friday and I need some materials to use. I was at the library for a while, I just borrowed books and then went home."Seems like it's about to rain," I said to myself and looked up at the sky. I just hope the rain won't continue to come because I don't have an umbrella to use. I took a deep breath before quickly running towards gate 2 of the school, because it was closer to the bus stop if I took that route. I only tak
“I really like this place. How old is this house? ” he asked and looked around the cave house. Luca and I had just returned from the Philippines after their honeymoon in Istanbul and Georgia, and here they immediately went straight to its cave house in Cagayan Valley.“7 years? I did this after I built my house in Luzon. You want wine? ” He nodded in response to its question. It was in the kitchen and he was in the living room looking at the paintings on the wall. The husband tells him it sold the paintings at an underground auction."It's been a long time," he commented and faced the biggest picture. He suddenly remembered that the tank of one of Luca's pet snakes was hidden behind the picture. With full courage, he approached the painting and pressed the button there to see the cage."Who took care of him when you were in New York?" he
