"Where will you take that?" Carnation asked the maid. It was carrying a pitcher of water and an empty glass.
“I will take this to Sir Luca's room. Why ma’am?”
“Can I bring that to his room instead? I need to talk to him. ”
"Of course, ma'am."
Luca was asleep when Carnation entered the young man's room. She carefully placed the pitcher of water and empty glass on the center table, and walked over to the young man's bed and stood there to stare into the sleeping man's face.
He looks so peaceful. It looks like there is no problem to take care of and the dream is just fun. Now, she's wondering. Could she be with him in the dream? Or maybe even in the young man's dream she has no space? It is so saddening because this happened to them.
"The moment he remembered you, he begged me to return to the Philippines right away." Carnation didn't look at the man who spoke, she just focused her gaze on Luca. "It's funny how he
"You're just kidding, aren't you?" Carnation asked, unable to believe what the young man said. She must have just misheard earlier."My fiancee is impotent. We both agreed that before we could set a wedding date, we needed to find a surrogate. It's good that I remember you, and that we used to date. I considered using you as our surrogate, and Armadyl agreed. She literally parted her lips at the young man's statement. Isn't this just a joke? Does Luca really offer her to be a surrogate? What kind of nonsense is this?"I don't know if you're just really numb or if your brain is broken because of the accident that happened to you." Carnation's jaw clenched. "I will not be your surrogate!! Never ever!! She firmly refused and turned her back on Luca, but the young man grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving. But since ten demons had already possessed Carnation, she violently splashed the wine in her goblet on his face, but she's not satisfied. She slapped hi
Carnation sighed deeply as she closed her eyes tightly. She didn't want to do it, but it was part of her job to fill in for his brother at work."There's no hocus-pocus," she reassured herself. It's just a casual dinner with their new business partner. "I'll kill him if someone I don't want to see shows up again," Carnation promised herself. She had little faith in this dinner, especially since Wren had organized it despite the fact that it wasn't his job."Are you going, ma'am?" inquired her secretary, who sat in the shotgun seat."It's best if you just return to the office; I'll handle this client," Carnation said, giving the secretary a critical look."But won't you need my assistance?" her secretary asks, concerned. She always attends dinner meetings with her."I'll be fine….""But ma'am—""I'll be fine, I can do it," Carnation's secretary nodded. She has no recourse; her decision is final. She must face the client al
Wregan's raucous laughter could be heard in Carnation's office, where they were drinking coffee in the lounge that afternoon. Wregan rushed over and invited her for a snack. Maybe he ran away from work again and just wanted to hide in her office."I can't believe you told him that? F*ck! I should have seen his reaction.""I just said that to get him to stop because I know he's not going to take that deal." They're discussing what happened last night at her dinner meeting with Luca. She also explained to Wregan how she ended up on Gregory's island. Wregan was furious at what Luca had done, but he was also relieved when she said she had slapped his friend before turning her back on him."What if he agrees? Can you do it? You've already had a deal, and you can't simply retract what you've said.""That's not a deal. I just offered him, and he's unlikely to agree. You know your friend, he's not for that matter," she said confidently. She was certain Luca would
"I can't see your friend," Wregan whispered in her ear as he got back to their table. Carnation nodded at the young man."Do you think she attended the party?""I'm not sure..." Wregan shrugged his shoulders. She's Wregan's date today, as they've already agreed, and she's wearing the red dress the young man bought her. Just like her, Wregan wore a red tuxedo with a floral pattern. She hadn't seen Luca and his fiancée yet because they had just arrived at the party. Carnation had earlier greeted Farkas, who was carrying his child and Lizette was beside him. Her friend no longer lives in her house. When Lizette came home from the island, she just took her belongings and said goodbye to her. Carnation suspects that Lizette lives in Farkas' house now."Look who's here..." Carnation turned to face the speaker. It was Primus and another of Wregan's friends. It appears she has met that man for the first time on Gregory's island. But she didn't see him very often
Primus and Enver tied her hands and feet before leaving Luca's office. After an hour, she still couldn't hear the young man who had kidnapped her speak. She didn't need to ask who because she already knew. Luca is the only one who will take on such a childish task."What are you waiting for? Why don't you speak?" She couldn't keep quiet any longer because of the deafening silence of the surroundings. All that could be heard throughout the room was her own breathing. But the young man still didn't speak, and she didn't hear much from him.She had no idea how long she had been in that room. All Carnation knew was that she was no longer feeling well, and as time passed, she felt the entire environment heat up. Although, she was aware that Luca's office had air conditioning, and the young man couldn't stand the fact that its office was not cold."Luca... I know you're there. Can you stop this game? I'm not happy with what you're doing." But no one said anything, so
"I can't help myself..." Carnation moaned as she rose from the couch. She walked over to the young man's bed and climbed into it without hesitation. She couldn't explain the sensation of heat in her body. "Hey, listen to me: you need to fight the lust you're feeling; don't give up on the impulse because that's the drug our bodies are consuming." "I don't like this feeling, please..." She crept up to the young man's chest and sat on his hard stomach. "I want you Luca, please." Carnation beg. "No, you don't want me, that's the drug talking; come on, Carnation, stop this." The young man restrains her repeatedly, but her sexual desire is strong. She lowered the seat from its stomach to its most vulnerable part. They both groaned as a result of what she did. "S-stop" Carnation, on the other hand, paid no attention to what the young man said. She began to grind her hips, and Luca moaned again, this time from the strange sensation brought on by her s
Carnation had no idea how long Luca and her had been locked in that room, exposed to the chemical, but she knew it was already dawn. 'Their aphrodisiac effect is no longer as strong. Carnation's body heat was dissipating, but she was still handcuffed. Luca was on the steel door of the room, and she was in bed. "How are you feeling?" Luca inquired when he awoke after a nap. Carnation had just awoken from a deep sleep. She did not speak to him all night and eventually fell asleep. "I'm exhausted and sleepy." But, unlike last night, I'm more at ease; there's no more heat that I can't explain. ” "That's great. You're already yourself." "I'm sorry for what I did last night; I'm really sorry, and thank you for not giving in," she said, remembering what she had done the night before. She grinds him like a salt-sprinkled leech. What she did was extremely embarrassing, but Carnation was relieved that nothing bad had happened to them. What would Luca's fiancée
Carnation slammed the car door shut as she heavily marched towards the Seven Sins Luxurious Hotel elevator, not sure if the man she wanted to talk to was inside the said building. She applied the VIP key card she secretly took from her sibling to the scanner so that the elevator would bring her straight to the Casa de Lujuria's main floor. Carnation immediately took off the elevator when it opened and was greeted by the receptionist, she greeted the lady back and went straight up the stairs. As usual she was greeted by the loud music of the night club, the mixed smell of alcohol, sex drugs and various flavors of vape smoke and it immediately gave her a headache. Damn it. She will never get used to it even though she used to be a niña in that place and it's only a few days ago, when she last came. Staff greeted her, she recognized some of them and there were some new to her sight. She sat on the bar counter and ordered bloody mary. Balkin, who was a bartender that night, even lau
"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
