Marissa’s POV“What?” I muttered.Diego did not even answer me and immediately stood up. Without even opening my mouth, he pulled me up and continued doing so until my butt was on his left shoulder and my head was facing his butt instead.“Diego!” I called out. “Put me down!”But he didn’t listen. He marched towards the hallway without even turning off the television in the living area. I hugged his waist as he held the back of my knees in front of his body. When we reached his dark bedroom, he laid me down on his bed. With the help of his yellow lamp shade, I could see him taking off his shirt and dropping it on the floor. He didn’t even remove his eyes from mine as he proceeded pulling down his shorts until only his brief was exposed in front of me. I refused to look at his bulk below and just the lustful expression he was bestowing.He slowly crawled on the bed on top of me until he matched where my face was looking. He shrouded the white ceiling, and only his brown eyes were the o
Marissa’s POV“I made tea,” Diego announced, making me snap back to reality after watching him for a while.Oh, no…What is happening to me?“U-Uhh…” I stammered and continuously blinked so I could think of what to say. “I guess, thanks. I also crave tea… I mean, it does not mean I want it, but maybe I need… but like it’s not really my type, but I did not want to waste the trouble you rendered in making that, so-““Marissa,” he cut me off, which made me stop blabbering stupidity. “If you don’t want tea, it’s okay. If you want, then I will give you.”That’s what you get from acting nonsense, Marissa! Now you are exposed in front of this handsome creature on Earth!“Yes! I would like some tea!” I agreed and chuckled nervously. “Sorry, it must have been the wind that made me panic.”“Panic from what?”“Panic from, uhhh, rain outside.”The baffle was plastered across his face as he followed me nearing him. My eyes fixated on the cup of tea he was holding. Clearing my throat, I gradually g
Marissa’s POV“Huh? Why are you saying that?” I asked my daughter, nervous and stole a glance at Diego who had a serious face when parking his car.“Dad said he is going to marry you and we are going to be a happy family,” Lilith said.I frowned at Diego. He must have sensed me glaring at him, so he innocently looked at me and raised his eyebrow, mouthing a ‘what’? I rolled my eyes and regarded my daughter again.“Don’t mind your dad. He is saying nonsense,” I said and tried to make my voice happy.“What did I do?” Diego whispered.“Bye, Lilith. I love you,” I said.“I love you both, Mommy and Daddy!” she happily exclaimed and even sounded a sweet, loud kiss from the other line of the phone.I hung up the call before I ended the call. After that, Diego waited for me to speak up. The car was already parked in the basement of the hotel. “What are the things that you are telling Lilith?” I asked while still frowning.“Things like what?” he echoed, baffled by what I am asking about.“She
Marissa’s POV“Excuse me?” I had to say. “Are you talking to me?” The woman regarded me with a sweet smile yet her glaring eyes towards me were conspicuous. I furrowed my eyebrows and hovered my gaze from her head to foot. She was wearing a sexy white bodycon dress, a pair of high heels, with a Chanel bag dangling on her wrist.Wait, her clothes… were the same with the woman who was hugging Diego a while ago.Don’t tell me…“I’m Vivian, Diego’s girlfriend,” she said, her head raising confidently.Diego’s girlfriend? But did he not say that he never met someone else after me? Did he just lie to me, then?“Why? Are you surprised that you can’t speak?” the woman sarcastically asked.Maybe because I was confused that it showed on my face. I closed my lips that were apart and blinked twice.“Hi,” I greeted casually. “Nice meeting you, Ms. Vivian. I hope you have a good day.”She scoffed. “I know you. You were the secretary of my boyfriend before and a fake fiance who was desperate to mar
Marissa’s POV“Marissa, where have you been? I’ve looked for you in the office, and Ms. Desmon that you were still not arriving!” Mrs. Rivera exclaimed as she approached me outside the conference room.I smiled at her apologetically. “I’m so sorry, madame. I had to do something important,” I said.She pouted and teasingly hovered her gaze from my head to feet. “Did it pressure you that I told you to wear something good in today’s meeting?” she asked.“Ah, haha, no, madam,” I said, chuckling and casually looking at the closed door. “Is everyone inside, madame?”“Technically, yes. Although all of the shareholders and board of directors are inside the room, Ms. Zeana Tan and Mr. George Benitez ate inside the building yet not arriving on this floor, so you got here first,” my boss explained, now holding the small of my back. “Shall we enter and greet the high-positioned individuals in the room?”“Sure, madame.”I was the one who opened the door for her before I followed her inside. Just l
Marissa’s POV“I am not your wife if you recall, so stop saying to other people that I am,” I opened up when we got into the car and were now going in the direction of the company.“I’m just playing around,” Diego said and chuckled. “Also, I don’t see anyone to be my wife except you, so…”Ugh, he’s speaking gibberish again…I rolled my eyes and just withdrew my phone from my bag when I felt it vibrate. It was a text from Mrs. Rivera, asking where I am right now. Gosh, I still have not had breakfast and yet the meeting is going to start now in an hour. But whatever, it doesn’t matter. I can just eat after the meeting.“The meeting will start in an hour. You are included, if I am not mistaken,” I pointed out and turned my head at Diego.“Uhh, yes,” he said and casually looked at his watch. “Tito George told me so, after you told me last night.”I nodded and did not say anything until we arrived at the parking lot of the company. I was about to open the car door when Diego stopped my ha
