JL
I was not expecting her to be so beautiful. Why she hid herself in those hideous clothes and big glasses. I have no idea. If I have known then, she wouldn't have needed to force me to marry her. The sexual attraction I am feeling right now is scaring me. Even the sense of ownership as if I don't want her to be away from me or out of my sight.I don't want to mistake this for love because besides not knowing each other - I know, we hate each other's guts. We've thrown unpleasant words to one another, but it will stop now that she is my wife. A few minutes from now, our marriage will be consummated and it will depend on my swimmers how fast they are and if Gia is fertile right now - then the second condition will be fulfilled. Don't we need to have a child before we hear the last condition?Her eyes were closed and her breathing is uneven. Her hand, which was on her chest earlier, is gripping my shoulder. I was kissing her at the back of her ear and her scent was intoxicating. All the women I've been with always wore perfume - but Gia? All she had was soap. My soap. It suited her and I am attracted to her.Gia groaned when I kissed her lips. I teasingly bit her lower lip. Her hand willingly caressed my arm. Her nipples perked up against my chest and I eagerly twirled the little crown in my palm."Oh my -" she gasped for breath and her heartbeat accelerated when I slightly moved my hips. I am still wearing boxers but Gia is naked like the day she was born.Needless to say, I was dry humping her and she was writhing in bed. She was in heat. I took one nipple in my mouth and sucked it. Gia's nails slightly dug into my shoulder. A few seconds later, she was pointing her other breast at me - wanting the same attention. I shifted between both of her breasts and when I had my fill, I kissed my way down to her stomach until I reached the center of her thighs.If there was another thing that surprised me - it was the fact that she didn't have a single pubic hair. Gia had it waxed and I was going crazy when I saw how eager she was for me.She was wet just from the dry humping alone and the few kisses I gave her on the lips and on her breast. I kissed each side of her thighs. My thumb felt her throbbing clit and I couldn't stop myself from having a taste. As I dove in, my plan to just have a taste made me want to have a little bit more. But that little bit more turned into wanting so much more and I can't remember how long I did it. I just felt her hand grasping my hair and her moans filled the room.I remember her asking me to stop as she felt something was about to come out, but instead of doing what she wanted me to do, I added a finger while my mouth continued to devour her sensitive flesh."J... L-" she didn't just come - she squirted a little and I've never had that happen to me before. Gia's eyes were hazy when I got up to give her a kiss. I know she's ready for me.I know it's her first time so I tried to warn her that it's going to hurt at first but it will get better. Her response to me was a kiss as she moved her hips and tried to rub herself on me. My sweet, innocent Gia is a tigress in bed.She moaned softly and bit my shoulder when I finally penetrated her. I didn't move at first and gave her time to adjust to my size. Tears rolled down her cheeks, perhaps from the pain of our union. I tried to soothe her pain as much as I could, whispering sweet nothings and kissing her everywhere."Move, oh!" said Gia."You might not be-" Before I could finish, Gia moved her hips and I buried myself deeper in her. The pleasure she brought was almost maddening. Truth be told, I've never had a virgin before so I didn't know what it was like. And now? Not that I intend to have sex with another woman while I'm married to her - but God, I don't think I would want another woman after her tonight.All I want is to possess her all night long. I just have to let her rest for a bit. I wanted to take her out for a proper honeymoon but I need to wait until this mess with Dad is over.I moved slower to gauge if she can handle me. But she cupped my face and kissed me tenderly on the lips.Gia whispered to me. "Faster... Ahh!"I moved faster as she asked. In and out, and when I flipped her over - her eyes went wide."Are you-" I saw fear in her eyes. She thought it's going to the other but I actually don't like doing it.I leaned over and lightly bit her shoulder. "Same hole, hon." I heard her make a sigh of relief.It didn't take long for us to reach our climax. I let her go first and soon followed. Everything went inside her and I didn't use any protection. I don't think she's using birth control either. We are going to have a baby in no time.Believe it or not, I am excited to have a child with her. Gia is a game changer for me.***The sun was already high when I woke up the next day. Gia was dead to the world. I was sure she would be sore from what we did last night - not to mention the thing between her legs. She would definitely struggle when she got up later.I had been meaning to get up for coffee, but I was mesmerized by her. She was sleeping on her stomach, with her hair spread out. She said she felt cold last night, so I got up and grabbed a t-shirt from the closet. I dressed her and refused to touch her underwear. In this bed, we sleep naked. I already broke that rule when I dressed her. I was afraid she might catch pneumonia.I found myself lifting my right hand to touch her face. I brushed her hair away from her face, and she stirred in her sleep. Her eyes were still closed, but I heard her moan. She looked so cute when she scrunched her nose, so I couldn't resist kissing the tip of her nose.That's when she opened her eyes and for a minute there, Gia was disoriented. She furrowed her eyebrows and moved away from me."What are you doing in my room?" she snapped. I gulped as her blanket slipped slightly, revealing her chest. My shirt was too big for her, and I could clearly see her cleavage. Not to mention her nipples were perked up."You mean, our room," I corrected her. Technically, it's not part of the conjugal property since I purchased it before we got married. But whatever is mine, is Gia's too, so there.She scanned the room and her eyes widened when she finally realized where she was. I didn't know that having sex multiple times on our wedding night could be disorienting."Stop staring!" she pulled the blanket up to cover her chest and face. It made me snort. Even if she covers herself, every curve of her body is etched into my memory. If I didn't know better, I'd think I was going crazy for her. I've never been like this with any woman."I saw it again— umph!" She covered my mouth, but she didn't realize that with what she did, the blanket fell slightly, and with a slight tilt of her head, I could see the peak of her breast. We shared the same thoughts, and before she could react, I pinned her down on the bed."Get off, Jose Luis."One of my eyebrows raised. "What happened to JL? Or should I say... honey?"She glared at me. "JL, yes. But I don't remember calling you—that. I wouldn't call you that.""Really? But you don't remember a lot of things. Do you even remember that you're my wife since yesterday?""No need to remind me. Once we fulfill the second condition, we can hear the third one, and we can go on our separate ways," she said without emotions."You don't mean that.""You didn't listen to me last night. I was trying to talk to you about it before we—""Say it."She winced. "Anyway, we—""Say it." She was trying to change the topic. What's wrong with saying we had sex last night? How does one make a baby?"Before we had sex!" she snapped at me. "Happy now?""Very," I said with a smirk. I started kissing her neck and shoulders."Stop. We have to talk first.""Go on, I'm listening." What can I say, I'm a multi-tasker."I was just thinking we shouldn't do it anymore," she started."Which one?" She still smelled great even after waking up."Sex."I chuckled softly. "Honey, how are we going to fulfill the second condition if we're not going to have sex?""The technology is modern now. We can try IVF. And don't worry about the cost, I will handle it."I didn't know if I should be insulted by what she said or not. Here I am, trying to fulfill my duties as her husband, and she's thinking about IVF. What the fuck?"Are you saying you didn't like what we did last night?" I asked with a furrowed brow. Maybe she didn't enjoy it, that's why she doesn't want to do it again."I—""Then I just have to do it again until you like it. And we're going to work on this memory of yours. Maybe you'll forget not only what we did last night, but also that you're my wife."When I rubbed against her, she forgot about the IVF conversation. Sleeping naked has its perks, you should try it sometime. Moans and groans filled our room, along with the sounds of the bed creaking. By the time I finished with her, IVF wouldn't even cross her mind anymore.She wanted to shower, and when I said we should shower together, she frowned at me and said she could manage to shower alone. The funny thing is, when she stood up, she almost stumbled on the floor. Her legs were like jelly and couldn't support her weight. Luckily, I caught her. I ended up picking her up and taking her to the bathroom. She reluctantly agreed to shower together. I wanted to claim her again, but I thought it best to let her rest. There's always tomorrow morning.Once we were decent, I went to the kitchen to brew some coffee. She might want something strong, so I let her make her own coffee. I didn't bother putting on a shirt, just my boxers and jeans, while Gia wore my new-shirt and held the boxers that were way too big for her. I ordered her replacement clothes earlier, and they should be arriving any minute now. Oh, and some sexy lingerie too. We sat in silence, sipping our coffee, no one wanting to speak.When we heard a knock on the door, I thought it was the clothes I ordered. I was surprised when I opened it and saw my visitor."What's up, asshole?" He pulled a suitcase with him.It's my best friend, Rolf Larsen."What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him, and even though I didn't let him in, he squeezed his way through the doorway."Good morning to you too, or should I say - good afternoon? You never told me that you had a huge problem. I was in Brazil and the internet was shitty there. If I didn't end up in a bar and watched TV, I wouldn't have known what happened to Tito Alfonso," he said directly to me.I didn't tell him about it because I didn't want to burden him with it. Plus, there's my pride. I heard his gasp and knew why."Olá, linda." He meant, hello there, beautiful."She's my wife, you asshole. Don't look at her. She's mine," I snapped at him.He nearly stumbled on his feet and couldn't believe it. "You got married?!"JLI immediately blocked Rolf's view. "Turn around and don't look at my wife," I said, laughing. He followed suit. I let out a sigh and glanced at Gia. "Hon, can you grab a robe in the bedroom and put it on. Sorry, I didn't know this fool is coming in today."Gia rolled her eyes but still did as I asked. She left her coffee on the table. My robe is big enough to cover her from head to toe. She wouldn't sweat since there's an air conditioner."Can I turn around now, doofus?" Rolf asked."I guess! I already sent her to our bedroom. What are you doing here?" I scratched my head."I need a place to crash," he said while walking towards the kitchen. I saw him pour coffee into a cup. I can't believe what I'm hearing right now."A place to crash? You have so much money, pick any hotel you want." I wiped my face. Rolf can be annoying sometimes, and you'll wonder why we became best friends."I don't want to. I want to stay here in your condo," he replied with a grin. He sat on the sofa with hi
I couldn't bring myself to say anything else. There are too many things on my mind. I just know we had to talk about everything before we end up sleeping together again. When we arrived at my house, I didn't wait for him to open the door for me."Just leave your car parked there, if you want. Come in, I will show you around," I invited him. I walked inside first. Our house is huge, but why do these double doors feel smaller today? Maybe it's JL's presence that's making me see it that way.After I toured him around the house for familiarity, I heard him ask a question. "Where's your bedroom?"I purposely didn't show him my bedroom because firstly, he won't be sleeping there tonight, and secondly, the guest room is ready for him. We were supposed to head downstairs to the living room now and we were already at the beginning of the staircase."Don't ask anymore. My room is messy, and I haven't had a chance to clean up," I smiled at him. I was hoping he would let it go. The truth is, my r
JLI am in the middle of the meeting and I can't concentrate. When I left, Gia was still sleeping. I lost count how many times I took her yesterday and even in the wee hours of the morning. If she's not able to walk properly when she wakes up — it's my fault. But I couldn't get enough of her.I don't understand anything in the presentation, but I acted like I am listening. I can always read my secretary's notes later. We have a French client that's very picky with the model he wants for the product. The endorser he wants is a woman with a certain beauty. No matter how many times he explained, he still didn't like any of our models. So my team brainstormed and presented their ideas today.Mr. Allaire wanted to branch out in the Philippines. They have several branches in the United States — particularly in New York and California. And last year, they opened one in Toronto. The construction here is ongoing, so they want to be prepared for the commercial. They have the money and we need t
FLASHBACK CONTINUED. . .HE gently nipped it before leaving it and reaching my lips for a kiss. JL's kiss was passionate and I couldn't help but put my arms around his neck. I pulled him closer to me. I couldn't get enough of him. We kissed for a few minutes that seemed like eternity, and when he left my mouth, I felt dizzy and lost with desire. His mouth found my other breast to give it equal attention, and as he stayed there for a while, I felt my back was not strong enough to support me.He awakened various emotions within me, and he felt the ache in my back. One of his hands was there, and when it left, it went to my stomach. He lightly pushed, and he laid me down on the table.JL kissed me on the lips again, and when he ended it, he looked at me while I was sprawled across the table."Beautiful," he whispered softly. nevertheless, I heard it and it gave me confidence no matter how small. Shame and excitement mingled together as I felt like a dish served before him. He kissed me o
GIAI drank cold water first before pressing the red button. “Sofia, can you call the finance department?" I asked my secretary."Do you need a report, Ma'am?" Sofia, one of my assistants and the oldest among them at forty-nine years old, asked. Despite her age, she's very quick on her feet and very well-organized."No. I need Kimberly Cueto in my office.""Yes, Ma'am.""Oh, and Sofia, can you call HR also? I need Leilani to be present when I talk to Kim. I need them here as soon as possible," I added. She was about to hang up the phone. Fortunately, she hadn't done so yet."No worries, Ma'am. I will call them now and ask them to come up here.""Thank you."After I spoke with Sofia, I called Cleo as well. I need her to be in the room. Kim has been in this company longer than I have. She's the same age as JL, so she was already here when my parents were still alive. She wants to be the financial chief and so far, I haven't seen any flaws in her work. It's just that her attitude sucks.
GIAAfter Cleo and I finished eating lunch, we returned to the office. I prepared my meeting with Mr. Soler in the boardroom. "Good afternoon, Mr. Soler. How are you I stood up and shook his hand as he approached. My secretary sat beside me to take notes. "I'm good, thank you. How are you?" he replied with a smile. He is in his late sixties and is acquainted with my father. He sat on the chair opposite me."Fine, thanks. Can I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea, water?""Just water is fine," he responded. He unbuttoned his coat for comfort. I signaled my secretary to get some water. There is a built-in fridge in the conference room. The table was designed like a buffet table on the side because my father used to host dinners here. "So, let's get down to business," I said to him. We both opened the folders in front of us. "So, you have a new brandy and you wanted a commercial for it. Do you have any ideas in mind of how you want it to be?""I want something different," he c
UNKNOWN POVLook at the opportunity now. It feels like it was just yesterday when he was so timid and couldn't break a plate. Now, he's fierce and doesn't seem to accept anyone's criticism. Well, he is a Ganfornina after all. But rest assured, I will also get whatever he has.The person I am with is even more beautiful than him. Even I am more beautiful than him, so why did he choose him? I would give everything, except maybe if he's looking for a virgin, well, I can't give him that unless I fake a hymen.JL is mine. What's the point of writing love letters back then if he would end up with him? I know their marriage is only temporary. I overheard them talking in his office. I hear everything in his office, thanks to modern technology. And his stupid secretary, I just brought a report and she immediately trusted me and went to the washroom. What an opportunity. . . it's often on my side. And if he thinks he can catch me, the recording is gone. A slight touch in the security office was
GIATWO days later I went shopping with Cleo. She was so excited she almost tripped on the carpet. I went to pick her up, but she wasn't ready so I waited for her in the living room. JL went out with Rolf as he is leaving tomorrow morning.I was checking my phone, but there were no messages. I don't have a lot of contacts anyway so I just kept browsing on Facebook. High school was not something I want to remember because it was horrible. We all have to grow up sometime. The head of our student council at the time made a private group for our batch and everyone is added there — including me, much to my dismay.They are planning a reunion six months from now and they are looking for sponsors. Why do I have a feeling they would ask me? I don't even want to go."Hi stranger," a man with a baritone voice greeted me. It was Corbin."Hey," I got up to give him a hug. He stiffened and patted me in the back. "I haven't seen you in awhile. What are you doing here?" He has a place downtown, but
PHILIPPINES | ONE MONTH LATERI am currently in a meeting when I started feeling a pang of stomach acidity. I had a bagel with cream cheese and black coffee this morning. I tried to ignore it, but it kept coming back and reached my throat. It feels like heartburn even though I don't have that condition. As a result, I developed a headache and started sweating coldly."Excuse me, everyone. I'm just going to the washroom," I said to them.When I reached the bathroom, I tried to vomit but nothing came out. I wonder what I ate that caused this stomach discomfort. Last night, we had chopsuey and grilled pork chops for dinner. I can't think of anything bad that I ate.I better visit the doctor. I have a driver, so I don't need to take a taxi. I'll just bring Gaia and her nanny to the clinic. I'm not sure about picking up the kids because I might take longer at the doctor's office. I called my husband.After a few rings, he picked up."Hon, is everything okay?" he asked."I don't feel well s
SEVEN YEARS LATER | NEW YORKThe years went by quickly and now JL and I have four children. Lawrence is our oldest and now six years old. He was followed by Genevieve, Georgina, and Gaia. Yes, I was pregnant every year. So we have a six, five, four, and three-year-old in the house. You would think that because we have a lot of money, we would have one nanny for all the kids. Nope. I like being hands-on as a mother. When I don't have work at the office, I take care of them all myself. Mornings are a bit of a challenge, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. The sound of their laughter is like music to my ears, and when they bicker, it's like I want to send myself to a mental hospital and join Kim there.Kidding aside, being a wife and a mother of four kids is not an easy job. I still have to run Core and make it bigger. When the kids were still small, I took them to the office with me. Now that the first three are in school, only Gaia stays with me in the office, along with her na
CORBINMr. Guerrero looked bored, but JL continued telling his story. "If you had nothing to do with her death, why was she outside that night and came from your house?""I already got home and getting ready for bed when she called me and said she left her purse. That was about an hour after dropping her off. So I went to check in the car and her wallet was there. I told her I would drop it off tomorrow as I was tired, but Collette insisted that she would get it in my place instead. She said it would be a hassle for me and she also wanted to return my handkerchief. She said she already washed and dried it. When she came to the lobby that night, I gave her the purse, but someone called her and she forgot to return my handkerchief. I didn't really care much for it so I didn't remember it either. That was the last time I saw her. I swear on my wife's life, I did not touch Collette. Your daughter is a wonderful woman, Mr. Guerrero and I respected her. Please, let's not fight tonight and
GIAIs Collette Gillian? Was she killed by Jose Luis? There must be a mistake. She couldn't have done the things she's accused of. How could a woman kill JL and in New York, no less? When he goes out, he goes with Rolf, and he wouldn't abandon his friend. I wasn't there, and I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that my husband won't kill anyone, let alone rape a woman.I looked at Cleo, and she was awake."I think you've got the wrong person, Sir. My husband wouldn't do that. And I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter. No one deserves that, even the worst person. But I really think my husband is not capable of doing something like that.""Oh? How well do you know your husband, Genovia Ganfornina?" he asked me. He signaled to one of his men. "Take her friend to the other room. I want to talk to this woman alone.""No! Gia!" Cleo struggled as two men carried her chair."Cleo, it's okay. I just need to talk to him. Sir, please don't hurt my friend.""She won't be harme
JL"That is not love, Kim. Put the gun down," trembling, he held his hand while I sweated, afraid he might suddenly pull the trigger."What do you mean it's not love?!" He still aimed the gun at me. Sometimes it's about Emma. "I even killed for you! Isn't that love? I removed the obstacles for us to be together, isn't that love?" He turned to Emma. "You bitch! You even got involved with this man even though you knew he's already married? You're a curse! Like you think you can take JL away from me? I'm the only one for him. He loves me! Not you! Not you! I won't allow him to end up with you after all this." He laughed loudly as if he had lost his mind. "I'll kill you just like I did with Gia. You're a worthless woman! You slut! Ahh!"In a split second, Emma jumped and kicked Kim's hand. The gun flew somewhere."You animal! Let go of me!" Kim continued screaming.Emma twisted Kim's hand and took handcuffs from her pocket. She read her the Miranda warning while Kim struggled on the floor
JLWe are currently in Attorney's office. Unknown to Kim, everything happening in this room is being recorded. I want all this chaos to end so that Gia and I can live peacefully. Corbin and I arrived at the same time, but Kim is not here yet. We don't think she got lost. Attorney said he called her earlier and gave her the office address. Where could that woman be? I was about to call her when the door suddenly opened. Unbelievable. Did she even have time to change clothes? Let's just pretend that this shit is real for one second. Does a real sister have time to change into revealing clothes while mourning?Luckily, Corbin is sitting next to me, otherwise she would have surely sat next to me. Attorney and Corbin are now seated on either side of me. "Sorry, I'm late everyone. The traffic is bad around this hour and I spilled juice on my clothes earlier. I haven't done laundry yet, and this is the best I have," she arrogantly said to us.Her hair is perfectly set, manicured nails, an
After everything that happened earlier, I just want to sleep so that when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine. There was food in the house, but it was just canned foods. Well, at least we're quick here. I fried corned beef while Cleo cooked rice."Do you think we can go out for a walk or something? No one knows we're here," I asked Cleo."I don't know. We can ask Brandon or Brent. I think it should be okay, but it's better to be cautious. I feel suffocated in this small house, and we can't even walk around in the yard," Cleo replied."Okay. I'll ask them after we eat."When the door opened, it wasn't the siblings who came in. It was a man I wasn't familiar with, and he had two other men with him. What's happening? Cleo quickly approached me."Gia, do you know them?" she whispered to me.I shook my head. "What's the password?"The man smiled. "I don't care about the password. You need to come with us if you want your husband to live."I knew that Corbin was with JL, so I knew h
GIAI hope they are doing much better than I am. I haven't left the office all morning. Precel is keeping me company and pretending that I have work for her when in truth, she was just trying to protect me.Cleo is not here today because her mother had a sudden doctor's appointment. I just want this day to be over and find out what we will do tomorrow.I focused on work and reviewed a lot of things. Staying in the office also had its benefits because I was able to finish a lot of tasks. I think I even finished the preparations for tomorrow.JL was told to communicate by text so that Bettina wouldn't hear anything. It's difficult to be slippery and make mistakes. Corbin's plans might be disrupted.It was around two in the afternoon when I decided to leave the office."Sofia, I am going home early and will continue my work at home. I will take Precel with me."Sofia just nodded and couldn't look straight at me. Maybe her mind is conflicted about whether the news is true or not. Well, in
GIAEVERYONE in the office was looking at me funny. Corbin's plan is now in motion. JL was walking with me and he knows the plan as well. The three of us discussed it yesterday.He held my hand and led me into the elevator. The disgusted look on some of the employees' faces is heartbreaking, but I have to stay strong. If we can prove that Kim is behind all of this, I will confront her and we will both undergo a DNA test. It is the only way to prove that her claims are false.Then maybe she can seek help. Mom helped Kim's mother, I can do the same for her.When JL and I were alone in the elevator, he kissed me on the forehead."Everything is going to be okay. Corbin sent someone named Precel. She will be your trainee so that no one suspects anything. All you have to say if someone asks is that I transferred her to you because there were no available positions in our company. Are we good?"I nodded. "I'm scared, JL."He hugged me and caressed my back. "It's going to be okay. I am here.
