Marissa’s POVThe next day, all of the company's workers were busy because of two huge buildings project the Monteros were planning to build with a specific number of investors and higher-ups of the company. Diego Montero was all speaking and listening with me by his side. I was the one taking notes, arranging the presentations, and printing important documents that were given to the businessmen who belonged to the board of directors.“Thank you for attending the conference. Let us adjourn the meeting,” Diego Montero said and bestowed a smile of relief that the meeting was now done. “I hope you have all a good day.”All of the board of directors nodded their heads and stood up. I set aside myself and collected all of the portfolios on the conference table. The directors, one by one, approached Mr. Montero to congratulate him. I accidentally gazed at him while I was in the middle of the collection of portfolios and caught him staring at the capital chair of the table opposite to his wh
Marissa’s POVI sipped on the coffee Diego made for me as I watched him wear the apron I owned that he got from the kitchen cabinet. The apron has flowery designs, and it was even color pink. It looked weird in him, but do we even have a choice? It is the only one available and how could I possibly expect that he would be here to cook in my apartment?Currently, I am sitting on a stool and leaning my arms with my coffee on the countertop. He was opposite to me, but he was standing while he was slicing the ingredients for the adobo he would cook. I saw how fast he chopped and how well he handled the ingredients and the meat he chopped with gentle care and careful seasoning.“Wow,” I said in astonishment. “Even until now, I still cannot believe that you know how to cook like this. Most rich people do not have interest in things like this because they mostly rely on the work of the household maids.”“Well, for the cleaning part, I would rather make the maids do the work. When I am tired,
Marissa’s POVI was pouring water from the cold pitcher into the glasses when Diego came inside the apartment again with his shoulders still lowered and his expression unhappy. The call of his dad might have made his night ruin, too. Like mine because of the expectations my former classmates have for me and Brylle. They might still not know that Nica and Brylle ended up with each other.I did not want to add to a solemn atmosphere, so I tried smiling while attending to Diego. I pulled the chair for him to sit, and he immediately did with a heavy sigh at the end.“Are you good?” I asked out of concern.“My mom told him that I impregnated you,” he answered without going through ways of saying it easily. He looked up at me with a pair of sad eyes. “He wants to meet you.”I blinked and could not find any word for me to say. Instead, I just placed back the cold pitcher on the table as I went to the chair opposite his. He followed me sitting down as silence accompanied us to our dinner.“Ar
Marissa’s POVAfter checking the temperature of the air conditioner in the mini sala and checking if there were still hard particles on the floor so that I could sweep it. Thankfully, everything was in order and perfection. I sat on the sofa again and watched the NBA. Minutes later on, Diego came outside my room so fresh and so manly fragrant it enticed my nostrils. I just stopped myself so it would not appear awkward to him. “I am done,” he announced and sat on the sofa. “Let’s start drinking. These are just beers, so we would not be hard drunk, unlike last night. It will only make our bodies warm and sleepy.”I squinted my eyes at what he said. Make our bodies warm? Hmmm, I like that.I fanned myself with my hand just to escape what I thought. He opened one bottle of beer, pulled two glasses so he could pour them, and gave one to me. He raised his glass to have a toast with me. I imitated him. "For our fucked up life..." he said. I chuckled because of what he toasted. "For our fu
Marissa’s POV“I won!” I announced and shouted like a monkey jumping on the sofa as the timer ran out from the basketball game we were watching.“Argh! The Lakers should have won! The referee is not looking at the violations your players are committing! That was supposed to be a foul!” Diego angrily said.“Well, Mr. Montero, better luck next time. It seems like you are the loser now!” I teased and even looked down at him while I placed my hands on my hips because I was still at the top of the sofa.He rolled his eyes at me and raised his glass of beer. “Then victory to you, Ms. Dela Cruz!” he said.I also raised mine and dramatically drank my glass happily. But while I was finishing it, his eyes opened and locked on my stomach, which was exposed because my hand was raised due to drinking. I saw the sparkles in his eyes before he avoided them and sat on the chair while sighing. After that, he placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head, like discouraging himself from doing somet
Madeline’s POVAfter he said those sweet words, he placed his warm palm on my cheek and was waiting for his warmth to come. He leaned over, enough for our faces to be near each other. His hot breath was hitting my face, and I was already closing my eyes. His kisses did not come, though.I furrowed my eyebrows furiously because nothing was coming. When I peeked over, he had a smile on his face even though it was dark and only the lamp was the illumination. I chased his lips and was able to graze him, but it was barely.I sat up and kneeled and wrapped his nape so that I could lock him now. He chuckled before he gave up and gave me hungry kisses again like we did a while ago. I was kneeling, while he was still sitting. While we were having a hot and rapid French kiss, his hands were massaging both of my breasts. I moaned between our kisses because it was giving me a tingling feeling.Before I could react to what he is going to do, his hot mouth was already diverted to my right boob, and
Marissa’s POVI woke up because of the sunlight penetrating through the blinds of my window of the room. The air conditioner filled my ears and my body felt cold because of the room’s temperature. I almost forgot that I have Diego in my apartment because of how naked I am under the blanket I have on my body right now. I heard sounds from the kitchen and wanted to check it out, but I felt a mess and was conscious of my smell.I gotta take a bath first before I face Diego. It would be embarrassing to face him like this. It is disgusting!I went straight to the bathroom and felt better when I took a shower. I did my best to soap my body as if having sex was dirty. I was so sore down there, so I gently washed it, feeling that I would rip it if I was not very careful.After a comprehensive bath, I brushed my teeth, did my usual morning routine, and was conscious of picking a nice home outfit. A casual shirt and grey pants would do, so I chose one to wear. While blowing my head to dry it, I
Marissa's POVThe sun was shining brightly, I noticed, while I was in the backseat of the taxi going to the hospital. Diego also left my apartment after we monitored the man who fixed the door. He informed me that he would go to my apartment tonight so we could go together to the airport at dawn and ride the airplane to Palawan.For some reason, I just could not help but get excited. I mean, I like him, but not really. Around him, I would still get uncomfortable, because I cannot adjust like that easily. For over the years, he has been my boss and is always so cruel and demanding towards me. Who would have thought that in this contract, he would change into a kind and sweet man?Or maybe he is nice but the world has turned him into a heartless and conceited man because no one was there for him.Because for the first time in his life, there is me, his first friend? I sighed and looked at my tummy. I placed my hand on it and caressed it like I had a baby inside.He exploded inside me la
