Bianca didn’t have many things to buy, so her list didn’t take long to get done. She stayed seated with Asher at the table, waiting for him to be finished so she could clear the dishes and prepare to go to the supermarket.
“I am going out after I’m done here,” she informed Asher.
“Are you going to the supermarket?” He asked. “I’m going with you,” he added when he saw her nod to his question.
“Then you better be ready when I’m done,” she answered. She was thinking about the time she needed to conserve. The way to her work is nearby, but the way to the supermarket is in the opposite direction and farther. She still has some designs to finalize before handing them over to her immediate boss by Monday.
“I’ll be quick, wait for me, okay?” he hurriedly went to
“Okay, we gotta go,” Bianca tugged at Asher’s clothes. She was still a bit wary of letting go of her hold on him as she was not yet very much comfortable with Luna. Asher noticed Bianca’s expression, so he boldly suggested. “Can we take her with us?” The dog leaped and ran back to its house just to return with her collar and leash. She must have recognized Asher’s words which meant she could be going out with her master. Bianca did not even get the chance to say anything before Luna handed her, not Asher, the leash and collar. As if asking her permission to let her go with them. Bianca looked at Asher. “What does she mean by giving me these?” Bianca asked. Asher laughe
Bianca's jaw dropped, and her eyes bulged in disbelief. "Are you for real?!" She asked with a shriek. Then she sighed. Feeling frustrated, she frowned and pouted. "Uhu..." he just hummed his answer while he munched his food. "For real..." Asher was observing her every facial expression that he was having a hard time holding his laughter. He faked clearing his throat and coughed to let his chuckles go without being obvious. Bianca was disappointed to know about his deal. But she did not doubt his words to be lies. She can tell he is sort of a pussy magnate. Nikita was one proof. That girl was a blonde bombshell with her body figure and face, although a lot shorter than Bianca. And with the way they wrestle in bed all night during weekends, Bianca can tell
“Okay, so how about this deal?” Asher put down his wine glass on the table and turned to look at her with a serious facial expression. Bianca was feeling half funny and half nervous. She did not have the tiniest clue of what he was going to say. She wanted to be nonchalant, like, if she did not like his deal, she could just turn him down again and get back to her original plan, calling for a paid date. Although her heart was also hanging with fears about going to the party with a total stranger, she was also worried about how outrageous his deal would be this time. She fixed her eyes on him. Clearly expressing that she was waiting for whatever he was about to say. “The one who called was my dad’s assistant,” Asher started. “And I bet my old man is making things hard for his assistant again by giving orders
Days swiftly passed. But for Asher, it felt like the days were dragging. He wanted Friday to come as soon as possible while Bianca was dreading it coming. It was not because she did not want to be on a date with Asher. It is the feeling of being in the crowd that she is not so comfortable about. Bianca feels suffocated with the facade of fake friendships and silent competitions between popularity and attention. Things she is not very interested in. It’s funny how she wants to become a fashion designer when she is not interested in the limelight that accompanies it. But her passion for fashion is only for designing the clothes. She believes the other parts would be fulfilled with other people according to their talents, like models, advertisers, tailors, and sellers. She doesn’t like to be in the limelight. To see people wear her designs will suffi
“Why...?”“So I can introduce my fiancee to you on Sunday and to have a glance at how things are done in an actual wedding,” Asher answered honestly.Ray was still perplexed.“Why…?”Asher did not even notice the bizarre flow of their conversation.“She might not have the time to meet you so soon after this Sunday, and I really want you to meet her,” Asher dreamily uttered.Ray felt the difference between this conversation he is having with his son right now and the ones they had before. He can feel the sincerity of Asher’s every word.“Okay, bring her to the wedding. I will ask my friend for an extra invitation card and send it to your office,” Ray felt his heart shake in an inexplicab
In the shower... Asher let his mind feel free. If he cannot do things in reality with Bianca for now, he wants to create a fantasy where he rules over her. He would love her to satisfy his every thirst of lust. He would love her to touch him anywhere in his body. He would love the soft touch of her slender fingers in his shoulders, to his chest, his well-toned abdomen, and way down... down below his navel. And down more. Asher let his right hand move as if it was Bianca touching him. Softly... sensually... teasingly... With his eyes closed, Asher let the water cascade down on him from the showerhead, imagining a different side of Bianca. A seductress in her own style. A wild side of her made him burn in hellish desire to devour her, but he was at he
Friday came.The whole company announced a half-day of work today so employees and everyone else can have enough time to prepare. They are going to hold the party at a prestigious hotel. It's a bit far from the office, and everyone might need time to arrive there if they have to head home to get ready. Unknown to Bianca, someone in the crowd is paid to harm her, sent by her old childhood friend who hated and envied her so much for having everything.Sue Jin.Sue is a greedy woman, just like her father. She is the daughter of Sangho Jin, the Vice-Deputy of Han Food Corporation owned by Bobae "Bobby" Han. They wanted to take over all of Bianca Han's family property, but they only have forty percent of company shares while the Hans, who founded the business two decades ago, has fifty percent, and the ten percent left is divided into four other minor associates.
"Asher, we have to go now," Bianca reminded Asher as she checked on her slim Bracelet watch that matches the design of her dress' neckline and waist."Okay, let's go!" Asher stood up from his seat and offered her his arm to hold as they walked out of the bar and into the elevator lounge to head to where the party was going to be held.Asher explained to her who Cedrick was, and Bianca understood why Asher had to tell Cedrick about Bianca being his fiancee. Cedrick used to be his business partner, but things went wrong when Cedrick tried to sabotage Asher with the help of Asher's secretary, who Cedrick was dating, apparently just to get information about Asher and all of his engagements. The girl confessed to Asher and asked for forgiveness, and Asher did not want to keep her, but he did not issue any misconduct on her separation papers so she could still find and choose any company she would want to work for. Cedrick
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Mavie asked, baffled as the man suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and he cried pitifully. Mavie looked at the patient on the bed, there was nothing unusual. His heartbeat was normal, and he looked just the way he used to be a coma patient. “What is going on? Please tell me….” Mavie answered assuringly. Trying to calm her Master to the best of her ability. She was also starting to feel scared because she had never seen this brave man act the way he was at that moment. Judas told her everything that he had seen his grandpa did except the part where he mentioned Mavie as his girl. But as he tried to ask again to show Mavie, the old man on the bed did nothing similar to what Judas was excitedly telling Mavie. “Mister Dinero, it’s me, Mavie. Do you recognize me?” Mavie asked casually, speaking to her patient like she would usually do. But the patient’s eyes did not move like Judas said they did. They tried again. Nothing. “I asked him a few q
As for Mavie, she was actually brave only because she knew some of her Master's men were around to protect her. But she was not going to rely everything on them. She will fight on her own if someone comes trying to bring her down. Mavie admits that her bravery was also because she was more than confident that her Master was not going to let her be bullied other than him. Like Judas would tell her most of the time; "You are my slave. I am your only Master. No one is allowed to order you around other than me. Not even a bully aside from me."So she did not fear to act accordingly, protecting herself when someone tried to intimidate her with violence. But she did not want to let the matter get worse. Mavie tried to deal with what happened in her own way."Mister Ray, please do not tell my Master about what happened today. I don't want him to get mad or worry about me. He already has so much to handle. I do not wish to add to the things that would bother him about me."Mavie begged Ray o
Days went on. Days became weeks. Weeks turned to months, and months became a year. A lot of things happened. Joaquin Dinero, Mavie's patient, passed away in his nap with Judas and Mavie right beside him. His body had seemed to reject the medications, and in Judas' dreams, his grandpa spoke to him that he was too tired and wanted to join his wife in peace. Ever since then, the grandson was torn between the sadness to let his grandpa go, and another sorrow that he was refusing to grant the last, one and only wish the old man seemed to have asked of Judas, the grandson. It was not even a wish done like every ordinary people would do. It was like asking Judas to let his grandfather die. And the way of asking such a wish was through a dream which Judas could not find in his heart to fully believe until he realized that every medical procedure and treatment they tried to provide the old Dinero did not seem to have any positive effect. But, of course, the grandson did not give up. Mav
Mavie did not want to disobey her employer so she ate the oatmeal although she was not a fan of eating it. She had to take some meds to get better very soon so she could do her tasks, and so she did everything her Master had ordered her. The medicine had an effect to make her feel sleepy so even if she did not want to sleep, thinking it was rude when her employer was around, her body was not able to fight against the medicine’s effect. Without her knowing, she had a good sleep and rested, when she woke up, she felt way much better. It was almost like she had never had any cramps earlier that day. “What are you doing?” Judas asked when he heard some noises from the kitchen while he was checking the monitors all around the house, his and his grandpa’s, his business building, and everything that was going on in his operations. By having an eye directly able to see everything in and out of his business establishments, Judas can easily handle problems even when he is afar. “Ahmm, I am s
Just as Judas had ordered, the lady doctor was able to speak with Ray, but the doctor suggested that the patient be brought to the hospital for a proper check-up. “At the clinic, we have everything we might need in order to make sure everything is accurate, unlike when we do it on house calls. It would be best to have her womb checked through an abdominal or vaginal ultrasound.” Ray relayed the message to his boss. Judas was silent for a while. He had to think of a way to keep everything in safety. There were a few things Judas had to consider whatever he might decide to do in his predicament. “Ray, I want you to check who gave me the first call with an unregistered number today. Can we make it quick? I want to bring Mavie to the hospital, but I am worried about leaving grandpa behind,” Judas stated with a dark face. Ray knew that look. As the assistant for the mafia don for quite a while now, he had learned to read between the lines, hear unspoken statements, and read his boss’ m
"Master….?" Mavie called out softly. Mavie was not so sure she was allowed to address the man the way they had agreed. She was confused if their arrangement also applied while she was on work duty or on the weekdays, now that they both realized they were also employee and employer aside from being slave and Master. But calling the man master was not something she felt awkward about at all, so when she noticed the man did not seem to mind her way of addressing him, Mavie continued to ask what she had in her thoughts. "How was the result from the test we did last Sunday with the doctor?" Judas was not sure if this girl was playing a silly game or if she was really unaware of such facts about the human reproductive system. But when he looked at Mavie's frail mien, Judas' gaze lowered and continued to clean his grandpa's teeth and gums with the soft and wet cloth. Just the way he saw on the security surveillance camera how Mavie would do such tasks of keeping the patient feeling fresh
“Master….?” Mavie did not expect to see the man, but instead of surprise, a faint smile was visible on her face. If there was someone Mavie wished to see at the very moment, it was no other than this person. The only person she had been thinking of with so much longing to see again, spend time with, no matter what reasons fate had to bring them together. “Master, is it really you?” Mavie asked again but in a soft whisper. Judas had so many scenes played in his mind of how this moment would turn out to be in reality to have a slight idea; if he cannot be accurate, so he would know how to explain and clarify his identity to Mavie. He had expected her to be surprised, first of all. If not, she should be scared o upset, but among all the possibilities his mind had conceived, Judas was baffled to see an exact opposite to what he had supposed Mavie would have reacted. “I had hoped the names of my slave and the hired carer for my grandpa would be one and the same person,” Judas hid his a
Ray started to check the packaging label of the item. He had a picture from Mavie’s stocks and the products that were on the racks. “They have the same packaging, right?” Ray held the pack and showed it to Judas. “This item is the same as the one in this picture, right, boss?”The cashier was watching the only customers he had in the store in the wee hours of the night; two men, as they chose items on the shelves. The store worker was not confident to walk closer and offer his assistance because he noticed they were on a section he was not very knowledgeable about. He was a man, after all, so he did not know much about sanitary pads. He was confident he could assist them, but only if they wanted to pay for their purchases. Because f they were going to ask anything else about the item, the worker was not ready to answer any questions. But if they still chose to approach him, he would just tell them to check the prints on the packaging. That’s all he could to help. Soon enough, two da
Ray was startled when he noticed his boss got into a car parked right outside the gates. Judas had ordered one of his men to bring a vehicle outside his gates and had its engine started because he would be leaving soon. And it was right where Judas asked it to be when they walked out of his grandpa's house. "Boss…?" Ray called for Judas' attention with hesitations. "What?" Judas asked as he fastened his seatbelt, seated right next to Ray, who was sitting behind the wheels. "I'm going to buy the pads and a serving of warm porridge. You can take your rest. I can handle this," Ray answered cautiously. "I have no doubt you can. I am even amazed you don't seem bothered that you are going to buy such items for a woman. Personal, if I may add," Judas said casually. "I don't think you're that kind of guy…." Judas could not say his words exactly. The Mafia Don was also cautious not to offend Ray's feelings if he happened to be wrong in his thoughts. They do not have much of an age differe
