REID SIERRAAs I sank onto the edge of my bed, the weight of my conflicting emotions settled heavily upon me. I couldn't shake the sense of guilt that lingered after my conversation with Lily. Her reaction, or lack thereof, left me feeling uneasy. Did she truly believe my words, or was there doubt in her mind? The uncertainty gnawed at me, casting a shadow over my thoughts.A wry smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I reminisced about Luxury's similar disposition. She, too, valued her independence and autonomy fiercely, detesting any attempts to impose limitations on her freedom. Yet, despite our differences, I couldn't help but draw parallels between the two women who had captured my heart in different ways.But Lily is in danger. Hindi ko gugustuhing may mangyaring masama sa kanya, kaya kung pwede lang na ikulong ko siya ay gagawin ko just to make sure she's safe and sound."Sir, umalis po si Ma'am Lily." Sabi ni Patrick nang kumatok ito sa kwarto ko, kaya pinagbuksan ko siya n
REID SIERRAI glanced over at Yuri, who was already knocked out on the sofa in the bar area, while I continued drinking, hoping it would help me fall asleep.Will I ever be able to sleep again without Lily here to help me?I lay down on the sofa opposite Yuri's, draping my arm over my eyes to block out the light. But no matter what I did, sleep wouldn't come. My head throbbed painfully, and I knew I needed rest to avoid being irritable at work tomorrow.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lily's face, especially recalling that night we shared. The memories were so vivid that I had to sit up quickly, trying to push them away.Desperate for distraction, I decided to walk to my room to finish some work. But as soon as I sat down at my study table, my mind went blank.The quiet room seemed to close in on me, and the weight of my thoughts felt heavier than ever. The documents in front of me blurred as I struggled to focus, the fatigue and emotional turmoil too overwhelming to ignore.Sobran
CHANDRIA LILY LOPEZWARNING: RATED 18+. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK."Lily," sumeryoso ang mukha niya, pero huminga din ng malalim. "Fine," niyakap ko siya nang pumayag siya at hinalikan ko pa siya sa pisngi, napatawa naman siya."But I'm working with you." Napanganga ako nang sabihin niya iyon. "Ikaw? Sa arteng mong 'yan? Kaya mong magtrabaho sa dangwa?" Ngumiti ito at napakamot sa ulo.He did what he wanted to do. Sumama ito saakin sa dangwa at pinagpalit ang posisyong bilang presidente ng Sierra Bank Inc. bilang florist.Akala ko noong una ay nagbibiro ito, but he's not. Pinasa niya kay Ravi ang posisyon bilang presidente temporarily."Kakayanin mo dito?" Tanong ko habang nag-iinventory. Kasama ko si Dahlia at naglilinis ng shop namin dahil tatlong linggo kaming hindi nakapagbukas."We should do a makeover." Sabi niya habang nililibot ang tingin sa paligid at nag-iisip kung ano pwedeng ipangdesenyo sa store."No, I don't have much budget as of now, Reid." Seryoso kong sabi sa kanya haban
CHANDRIA LILY LOPEZWaking up next to Reid is the best thing that ever happened to me. I traced my finger to his face, memorizing every part of it."Hmm," napaungol ito at ilang sandali ay nagising narin. Nakangiti itong napatingin saakin at muling pumikit tsaka ako hinila papalapit sa kanya."Good morning, lovely Lily." Natawa ako ng mahina sa sinabi niya. "What's with the lovely?" Mahinang tanong ko."Because you're lovely, Lily. Where's my greetings?" Muli itong napadilat at tumingin saakin. Kaagad ko siyang hinalikan at sinunggaban niya naman ang halik ko."Good morning, Reid." Bati ko. Isiniksik ni Reid ang ulo niya leeg ko at hinalikan niya iyon."Reid, sobrang sakit ng katawan ko," sabi ko sa kanya napahinto naman ito at nag-angat ng tingin, "I got you, Lily." Then he owns my lips again.Maganda ang gising ni Reid, unlike mga nakakaraang araw na wala siyang tulog, laging nakabusangot at laging galit sa mundo."Hurry, we're going to be late." Aniya na ikinasama ng tingin ko."Ku
WARNING: R18+. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.REID SIERRA"Stop crying, Lily. I'm just joking." Natatawa kong sabi.Pinunasan niya ang mata niya pero dumikit lang ang buhangin sa mukha niya dahil sa basa ito, kaya mas lalo akong natawa sa nakita ko. She's really cute. Na parang bata na nilalaro lang kanina pero biglang iiyak dahil inagawan ng candy."Let's head back, Lily," I said softly, gently caressing her cheek."I promise I won't leave you. I'll stay by your side, no matter what happens, my love." Leaning down, I pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, assuring her that I won't really leave her side.Kumapit naman ito saakin at hinayaan na magpabuhat saakin, pagkatapos ko siyang pagpagan ng buhangin. May natira pa ngang buhangin sa buhok nito kaya maliligo nalang kami kapag nasa room na.Pumasok kami sa loob ng hotel na kaagad akong binigyan ng tuwalya para ibalot kay Lily.Nasa iisang room lang naman kaming pito, sa presidential room na may tatlong kwarto sa loob. Alam narin naman ata ni
CHANDRIA LILY LOPEZNapaungol ako nang makaramdam ng sakit sa balakang at hapdi sa ibabang parte ng katawan. Damn. Halos gabi-gabi na ata namin ginagawa ni Reid iyon. Sumasakit na ang pang ibaba ko. Shit.My mind jolted as I remembered Reid's words. "Can I cum inside you, Lily?" His question echoed in my thoughts, sending a shiver down my spine. What did I say to him then? I couldn't recall! Did he indeed release inside me? The panic rose as I contemplated the possibility of pregnancy.I replayed the scene in my mind, searching desperately for answers. Did I consent to his request? Did I trust him enough to let him take that risk? Or was it a moment of reckless abandon, fueled by desire and clouded judgment?As terror gripped my heart, the realization sank in like a heavy anchor: I couldn't be pregnant. The mere thought sent waves of panic crashing over me. How would Reid react if Luxury returned to him? Would he choose me because I was carrying his child? But deep down, I knew he lov
As I descended deeper into the abyss of my emotions, it felt like I was losing any chance of resurfacing. Despite my efforts to swim against the current, the weight of my feelings for Reid only dragged me further down. With each passing day, the gap between us widened, and the prospect of finding my way back to the surface grew more daunting. Though a part of me still yearned for clarity and closure, it seemed increasingly out of reach, lost in the depths of my heartache.Tatlong araw ng nakakaraan ng hindi ko parin kinakausap si Reid. Hindi narin namin siya kasama sa Dangwa at bumalik na sa kompanya niya bilang presidente.Since that day, we avoided each other like we're a total strangers. Wala na rin ang mga bodyguard na pinapabantay niya saakin, kaya malaya na akong nakakagalaw.Nagsisimula narin akong mag-empake para bumalik sa apartment ko. Dinala ko lang ang mga gamit na akin lang, at iniwan ko narin ang card ni Reid sa kwarto niya bago ko binaba ang mga gamit ko.Lalabas na san
REID SIERRALily and I weren't talking for two days, and it's going me crazy. We're living in the same roof but the silence in between us is killing me."I need sleeping pills, Lucas." Tamad kong sabi kay Lucas. Nasa opisina niya ako ngayon at nire-review ang patient's charts.Lucas' been our family psychiatrist, Yasmir's friend. Si Lucas din ang tumulong kay Errol nang mawala ito sa sarili after his unborn child died because of a car accident, soon his fiancé commits suicide in their penthouse. Sino hindi mawawala sa sarili no'n?Si Lucas din tumulong kay Yasmir nang mawala din ito sa sarili for months after Hira left him without a word.At siya narin ang naging psychiatrist ko simula nang makakuha na siya ng lisensya to cure my insomnia."Akala ko ba gumaling ka na? Anong nangyari?" Tanong niya na hindi man lang ako tinatapunan ng tingin."Nag-away kayo ni Lily?" He asked, napatingin na ito saakin at taas kilay akong tinignan."Ano pa nga ba." Sumandal ako sa upuan na nasa tapat ng
