Diego’s POVWhile clapping for Zeana Tan, my eyes transferred to Tito George. My claps went slower when I noticed that he had gone serious and stern this time. I had to blink to make sure that I was seeing the right thing, but I confirmed that his stupid, boyish smile was nowhere to be found, his eyes were wistful, and his face was firm.And that is because he is watching the beautiful woman going through the carpet while waving her hand to the crowd!Even though someone, a woman (I have to include that in my description), was striking up a conversation with him, his full attention remained on Zeana Tan. He was not pleased with what he was seeing.I was already smirking like hell, this is the first time I have seen him so austere. Whenever we both see the women he had taken in hotels or dates, he would only laugh and treat them as nothing. But this Zeana Tan is indeed a different impact on him, huh?“Good evening, everyone,” Zeana Tan greeted the guests with a firm and deep voice, an
Diego's POV"Oh, I am delighted that you know me," I said and displayed a small, formal smile. "Anyway, perhaps you know my uncle? George Benitez?"I made a small push to my uncle who was trying to keep his call beside me and poked him to talk. Zeana Tan also gazed at him and even hovered her gaze casually, as if he was a stranger to her. She smiled and reached out her hand to my uncle. "Yes, I know Mr. Benitez very well. Nice meeting you again, Mr. Benitez," Zeana Tan said and even smiled hugely.See? She is not even bothered by him!When I looked at my uncle, he only stared at her face with a serious expression. He was parting his lips as the words he wanted to say were locked in his throat. The smile Zeana Tan was holding on her lips was slowly becoming constipated because her hand was still reaching out for my uncle who did not acknowledge. I had to secretly elbow him so that he would stop staring and start talking. That was when he snapped and cleared his throat. "O-Oh, yes, Mi
Marissa's POVThe nurse tightened and placed a bandage on my shoulder. I can still see the blood penetrating through it. She excused herself while I was left on the bed where I was brought in to tend to the wound I had when my grandmother had thrown the empty bowl a while ago.I swam in my deep thoughts as I remembered the fear she had in her eyes when I was so worried about why she was in hysteria.I should not see her?Who is the person I should not see that she even almost lost her mind when I was about to step forward?If it were not for the hospital staff and Jane who heard her screams. She tried protesting and getting out of the hospital bed, but thankfully, she was immediately sedated and calmed down until she dozed off. Jane escorted me to a room where a nurse could take care of my wound. I did not feel pain, though. I was more curious."Ms. Dela Cruz."My thoughts were interrupted when a doctor showed up in front of me. It was my grandmother's doctor. I had to stand up from s
Marissa's POVI showered first thing in the morning. Diego followed. Diego cooked. We ate. I double-checked everything to carry. Diego carried it. I made sure we had food on our trip. Diego took care of booking our hotel in Palawan. "Are you ready?" he asked when he sat in the driver's seat. "We'll go to Starbucks first so we can have coffee."I grinned. "That is the nicest thing we would ever do.""My treat.""As if you have let me treat the two of us. That was like never."We both laughed before we left the apartment building. Just like what he said, we went to Starbucks and ordered the coffee we desired to drink. Conversations and plans went on until we got to the airplane. I continued sleeping there with my head on his shoulder. "We're on board now, baby," I heard Diego whisper. "We have to get out of the airplane. Hey."I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the small screen that was playing a Disney movie in front of me. I shivered as I felt how cold inside the
Marissa's POV"Grandmother, what is wrong? Are you okay?" I worriedly asked the other line. "Marissa, where are you?" she asked in a firm voice, meaning that she was angry right now. Why does she sound so angry, though? Is she not done yet?"Grandma, I am in Palawan with my boss for a business trip. Why? Is there a problem?" I asked, curious now. "Good," she said."Then stay there. The longer the better until that bitch leaves."My hand flew to my mouth because I was surprised that she knew how to cuss like this. Even before, she would even reprimand me when I cussed in front of her. I know her to be so old-fashioned and so set in her ways to always be respectful, dignified, and kind. "I do not know who you are, Grandma," I said, wanting to see who she is talking about."Just listen to me, Marissa," she said. "I can't let you see her because she will only ruin your life. You would hate it, so I hope you do not get to the point where you will be making the decision you will ever re
Marissa's POVIt took only a few seconds for us to pull each other's arms and kiss torridly with passion. I could feel how hungry he was for me, and I was also needing him. It was easy for us to remove the towels from our bodies because we were already naked. He lifted my buttocks to the sink and bit my cheek. I hung my head when his mouth grazed around my neck and sometimes bit it, making me moan. His hands explored my breasts, massaging them gently and firmly.Before I knew it, he was devouring both of my breasts and licking my nipples like he was a hungry infant. It was bringing me to heaven until his kisses went down. He parted my legs and wiped one of his fingers. He made me see how he licked it in front of me. "You are wet... and delicious," he said and leaned down while holding my legs apart. "Ah!" I moaned loudly when he began licking all of the parts of my core. "Oh, Diego...""Moan my name, baby," he said and continued torturing me with every flick of his tongue and did hi
Marissa’s POVThe long week of staying in Palawan was over, and the next thing I knew, we were flying back to Manila City. I was sad looking at the clouds in the sky, but what could I do? We still have work in the company, and Diego has been receiving a lot of phone calls.“Zeana Tan will visit the company this week and my father will also be included in the board meeting,” he said.“Wow, that is once in a blue moon to happen. Zeana Tan must be a very important businesswoman,” I commented and nodded while sipping on my hot coffee.“You have to research about her. She is not only an amazing businesswoman but also a philanthropist who has a huge empathy towards children and orphans. I met her in person and she was the kindest and very gorgeous, I must say. It must be one of the reasons why my Tito George is so crazy about her since I think he still has feelings for her,” he shared. “You will also meet him in the board meeting, and I will introduce the two of you sooner.”I squinted my e
Marissa’s POVI know what I did to Brylle was terrible. I still have not explained everything to him, and that is why he does not get my relationship with Diego. All he knew was that I hated my boss, and now, I will marry the man that I hated the most.But still, it does not justify him hooking up with my best friend. He knew better. Or maybe this is a payback for him. He knew I would lose Nica, just like I lost me. He wanted me to know what it feels like to be betrayed by the person you treasure the most.“What seems to be bothering you, Marissa?” my grandmother suddenly asked me when she witnessed that I was spacing out while feeding her. “Is there a problem of yours that you would like to share?”“H-Huh?”That is when I realized that the spoonful of rice soup was left in the air. It was supposed to be near her mouth. So I snapped and continued what I was doing. She immediately opened her mouth and ate the soup.“Nothing, grandmother,” I lied. “It’s just that I had a rough week.”“A
