RACHEL GREY
My heart is beating so fast as I walked inside Kai’s office. Serena, who wasn’t shocked to see me, let me in quickly. For once, I wanted to ask her what she thinks of me when I am entering the CEO’s office.
I didn’t bother knocking because the door wasn’t closed. On the small opening, I can see Kai looking at the door boringly. His face only lit up when he saw me getting in.
A smirk played on his lips as he immediately stood up and darted towards me. In one swift motion, he locked the door and trapped me in between his body and the cold door.
“What took you so long?” he whispered as I felt his hands on both sides of my waist.
I could shiver at the sensations that his voice is giving me. Damn it. He’s the only one who could make me feel this way. There’s no other man in the world who could make me feel any of these mixed emotions.
I bit my lip and st
CLEAN SLATEI don’t know how quick we were as we put our clothes back on. Rachel Grey is standing behind the door, waiting for Kai to open the door to her while I am here, trying so hard to fix my after-sex hair.Kai looked at me and bit his lip. I don’t know what’s going on inside his head right now that his girlfriend is there, almost catching us.“Are you okay?” he even had the courage to ask me as he caressed my cheek.I breathed heavily. I am not alright. My heart is beating like hell and I think it could explode anytime right now.“Mr. Bennett?” Serena’s voice echoed the whole room once again as we heard another series of urgent knocks. Now, it seemed like Rachel Grey is getting impatient on the other side.Kai sighed and tucked the loose strands of my hair behind my ear. “Trust me on this one, alright?” he looked deeply in my eyes.I nodded
OUR PLACEKai held my hand tightly as we were looking at the shocked Rachel Grey. She looks so shocked and devastated at the same time. I know how it feels—that feeling when someone you love rejected you. Trust me. I know the feeling.“W-what?” she couldn’t even utter that one word. She’s in disbelief. And—I don’t know—maybe, in despair as well.Kai laced his fingers with mine but he’s still keeping me behind him. I don’t really know why. Is it because he’s scared that Rachel Grey would slap me once again? I don’t know.“I said, let’s break up.” Kai repeated those same words.Tears welled on Rachel Grey’s eyes as she looked at Kai, apologetic and submitting. She shook her head and walked near us.“No…” she shook her head and held on Kai’s arm. “No, Kai. You’re kidding, right?”
GOING DOWNIt's been three days since Kai broke up with Rachel. It's the most painful way to break up with a girl. He cheated on her and now, he's the one with the guts to break up with her. She should be hurt but I'm not even feeling guilty of what happened to her.At first, maybe I am. But right after watching her on television, I realized that she’s one hell of a lunatic who's so in love with a guy. She's too in denial that she couldn't process some facts anymore.Too pathetic if one might ask.I don’t know if I should laugh or what. Rachel Grey just announced to the world that she is getting married to Kai. For once, I know that she is lying because I am with Kai right now, unlike what she's telling the whole world.I’m not in doubt of what Kai feels for me. From everything that he has shown me, I know how sincere he is. I know that he loves me. That gets no question from me.Mom stared at me
PROHIBITEDJust when I was so sure of the choices I will make, unexpected things happen.Mom’s in a critical condition. Different tubes and lines are connected to her as she lies on the hospital bed, looking so hopeless. The doctor said she experienced ischemic stroke, the one where a clot has clogged a blood vessel near the brain.“The situation is under control, for now, Mr. James,” I heard the doctor tell Dad as we were watching out for Mom outside the Intensive Care Unit.Dad nodded. “When is she going to wake up, doc?” he asked.I bit my lip as I watched Mom inside that darned room, helpless and weak.“I am not certain of that yet, Mr. James. Her condition is still critical. For now, her vital signs are all stable. She seemed to be responding to the treatment very well. But we can’t be so sure. We’re still going to place the client in close monitoring.”
BLACKIt’s been two days since the incident happened. Mom’s already conscious, as Eurick told me, but I never did try to visit her. I’m scared. I’m scared that she might deteriorate once more when she sees me. I don’t want her to get worse because of me.Eujean still hasn’t talked to me since the incident. She’s been in the hospital for days and Eurick only brings her clothes to change on every day. I can’t blame her for the cold treatment, though. I honestly think that I deserved it.On the brighter note, I am glad that Dad is not against my relationship with Kai. I don’t know what happened but I think Kai told him something that made him feel a bit more comfortable.Meanwhile, Rachel is still on her solo campaign about her wedding with Kai. This time, she even invited Kai’s parents on the press conference.“We are all so excited about the wedding,”
KAISSER“What the hell did you do there?” I wanted to punch Juneau when I heard from Eunique that he went there saying that he’s her boyfriend.Juneau’s eyes narrowed at me. “Chill, dude! I didn’t say I am the boyfriend,” he replied. “I just went there for a visit!” He defended himself.I wanted to punch him. Really! “Why would you want to visit her, then?” my blood is boiling.Juneau smiled menacingly. “I like her.” He replied and that earned him a hard punch. I don’t care if he’s my half-brother. When it comes to Eunique, I don’t care about anyone.“What the fuck?” he cursed as he touched the spot that I punched. His lip is bleeding but the hell I care. He likes my girl and I don’t like it! “What’s your problem, Kai?! You’re getting married to Rachel Grey! Let Eunique go!”I g
EUNIQUE“I love you.”Kaisser kissed me upon whispering those words. His voice and touch sent shivers to my spine and coldness to my skin. But I didn’t mind the hype of my nerves, I let him own my cavern the way he wants it to do.His hands caressed my cheek as he deepened the kiss. I’ve never felt this crazy before. I’ve never felt this excited before.All the blood in my body came rushing to my cheeks as he laid me on his bed, hovering on top of me. He continued to kiss me as he placed his hands on both sides of my waist.I let out a moan the moment his tongue found its entrance into my mouth, licking and owning every corner of it. I let him do what he keeps on doing and made myself enjoy it.Tonight, I’ve decided to take it to the next level. I wanted to give him my everything. It’s not that I don’t care about the consequences, but as a goodbye
EYE TO EYE“We hate to let you go, Miss James. You are one of my most prized employees,” Anthony Son, my boss, said when I handed in my resignation letter.I gave him a small smile. “I’m sure you’ll find someone even better than me, Sir,” I replied.He sighed and nodded. “Are you sure you’re ready to go back to London?” he asked.I nodded and smiled weakly. “Yes, Sir. It’s been years. I think it’s time.”It’s been four years since I left the United Kingdom for my parents’ approval. I hated leaving but I didn’t have a choice. If I didn’t go, my parents would despise me. This is their dream for me—to become successful in my own field, for greener pasture.It pained me every single day that I was away from my homeland. My heart clenches whenever I see the things he’s given me. I know I don’t deserve

ANYWHERE ANYTIMEEuron was glaring at me the next day during breakfast. I don’t even know why he’s here. He usually lives in his condominium, so, what is he doing here?I tried my best to ignore his death stares to the best of my ability. I concentrated on my food even though I’m not really hungry.My phone vibrated on my pocket and I immediately opened the message.From: Kaisser BennettGood morning! I’m on my way to your house. See you! I love you.I bit my lip to stop a smile from lighting up from my face. Damn it! Just one text and my heart is about to leap out of my chest once again.I heard someone cough. I looked up and saw that it was Euron. He’s staring at me like I’ve done something wrong.Euben, who was sitting just beside him, blinked at me. “Who texted you, Nique?” he asked innocently making all of their attention on me.I glance
MY BOYFRIENDI’ve always thought about being serious in relationships. I’ve always thought that it’s still better to be in a relationship where we understand each other, we support each other and we complement each other. It’s not enough that we love each other. Love is the foundation but there are many other factors that would make a relationship last long.And that’s what I learned with my relationship with Kai. I loved him too much but I still had the guts and the courage to leave him. Sure, I had a lot of regrets and I think that’s just normal.I was too much blinded by my priorities that I thought love wasn’t enough.But right now, I won’t allow any of the past to happen again. I would stay with him. I would stay with him and fight. If he’s willing to give everything up for me, then, I am, too. I am willing to give up everything for him. It’s time to show him that
