"Gab–"
I immediately zipped my lips when he opened his eyes. His eyes was back to its usual black color. His expression seemed firmer as his jaw was locked as if permanently.
"Eat first, I need to do something," he said in a low voice.
I couldn't do anything when he already turned his back on me, but since I'm not really hungry, I decided to follow him.
From the window, I could see him talking to someone through the phone. I saw him shake his head while talking. He then rubbed his neck and lifted his head skywards.
When he ended the call, that's when I closed the curtain. I got back to the kitchen like nothing happened. I heard his heavy steps slowly getting near.
"It's getting late, I'll drop you to your cottage," he said, emotionless.
My head nodded, I didn't bother to ask him. I placed the menudo that I cooked inside the refrigerator, I don't have any idea if he's still gonna eat it or not.
Just like earlier, we walk
I wandered my eyes around the office. The room was dark because the curtains covered the windows. There's nothing in this room except the lounge and the coffee table, the working table and the two chairs on the front. The table was clean, so as the royal blue wall that has no displays and hanging frames. I heard the door opened and closing, and the gentle strides walking towards me. I didn't have the chance to turn when he talked behind me. "How was your sleep?" a familiar voice lingered through my ear. I was nailed into my place. My entire body tensed up, I could feel sweats drenching all over my skin and my blood pulsing through my veins. I shut my eyes up, unable to answer him. Instead, I quickly faced to ask him but my tongue stiffened at his playful smile. He looked very fresh and handsome in his white long sleeve polo with black trouser suit, and his butter soft leather shoes. I don't need to ask if he's the owner of the
"IT WAS just an accident, it was true that I was just walking around..." I whispered. I bit my lips which I knew he saw. He did not response, he leaned his back against the chair and looked at me. I know he's still not convinced. In the end, he just shrugged. He didn't talk and didn't bother to open a new conversation between us. While me, I was slowly getting swallowed by my conscience. I know he deserved to know everything. But why am I so scared of hearing his answer after? I've been thinking it over, but why can't I still say it whenever we're together. "Finish your food, the yacht will arrive at an island in about a minute," he said coldly. He brought his used tissue on the table and stood up. I gulped when he walked out the room. Minutes had passed before I finally realized what I did. I held my head and ducked down the table. I have to tell him the truth. This is my last chance, if I don't tell him the truth before we re
I gave a nervous glance at him. "Aren't you afraid of us getting caught?" He chuckled innocently at me and ignored everything that I'd just said. I shook my head at him. Holy fuck! This is fucking ridiculous. Is this what he's planning? To make me his mistress? Oh, hell yes! This is what I've been planning, but I never expected that this will actually happen. "Don't worry, I take my work very seriously. Alexa knows how professional I am when it comes to work," he said in a gentle tone, hinting something. I nodded and gave him a curled lip and casually averted my gaze upon him. Why can't I stop myself from giving meanings to his words? "Let's go..." Gabriel covered my hand with his. My breath hitched a little as he started walking, taking me with him. I can feel my heart slowly melting at his warm hands. I was cowering my head as we. I feel so small at the way people looked at me. I felt like we are so far from each other althou
"What happened?!" I simply moved away from him to gather myself. I fixed my hair that was ruined by the wind and cleared my throat. "I think we're running out of gas..." he said calmly. He tried to start the engine again but he failed. "What? Are you kidding me?!" My voice pitched higher. I dumped my bag on the floor and sat frustratedly. I slowly felt my knees trembled in nervousness. He walked toward the back of the boat while I palmed my face. After a few, I heard his steps walking closer. "The motor overheated," he looked completely impassive as he pulled down his sunglasses. I blew out a deep breath. I hardly bit my lips before standing up. "This is all your fault, we shouldn't have used this. Or... or you should have checked the gas and the engine first before we go to that fucking Island!" I angrily said. Gabriel crossed his arms over his bare chest before a grin crept onto his face. "Are you scol
THE FIRE burning in his eyes caught my heart. I suddenly felt scared, for myself and for him. I didn't expect that we'd actually reach the moment that I had to tell everything. I gasped heavily. If I can only cut my breath, I would, but the man in front of me already did. "Gabriel..." I uttered slowly. I closed my eyes to not see his reaction. Angry expletive words filled the air. He released a strong punch just near beside me. "Don't fucking play games with me, Emory..." he growled. I breathed out and my chest tightened. I can feel him pressing himself more. I'm dazed at the hot touch of my chest and arms onto his. My hands that were ready to push him suddenly lost all its energy. "Please... Let me go, Gabriel," I pleaded. I saw him swallowed. "There must be something in you! Just fucking say it!" His voice resonated. "Hezekiah..." I said breathlessly. I can feel my lips trembling. I emitted a tiny gasp when I
This room is huge. I loved the pastel cream color that complimented the white color, especially the wide glass that frames the beach outside. I spent my time looking at the expensive furnitures and framed pictures that welcomed me in the living room. I directed myself to the bathroom. I flicked the lights on and my lips parted at the sight. The whole bathroom was totally jaw dropping. The silvery gray marble bathtub, sink and the shower are perfect. It can even be one whole room at how spacious it was. Like outside, they complimented the gold and white colors of the wall. I turned the bath water on and poured the bubble bottle in. I removed all my clothes and went into the bathtub. It's pretty much good. The water was a little hot. It feels great as I sunk down in it. I leaned my head back against the tub and slowly closed my eyes. I can slowly feel the water becoming warmer that brought comfort to me. I started to fall asleep, but then I felt
Gabriel reached underneath and stroked my clit. I can't go on anymore. I can't help but to shiver as I tried to fight the sensation it brought. "You're so fucking wet for me..." he whispered breathlessly. He carefully moved his finger in and out. I can't help but to move my hips upwards. I held his shoulders tightly and met his eyes. His hair was slightly tangled because of what I did earlier, but still he looks deliciously hot. I bit my lips hard when his fingers went faster. I was delirious at the sensation currently building up inside me. Dammit! I'm about to cum... I can't take it anymore! It's been a long time since I've been intimate with him. I cried out his name as I felt the hot liquid spilled out my sex. I wanted to cover my face in embarrassment. I can't believe I'm this excited for his touch. I bit down my bottom lip, feeling overwhelmed with pleasure. I haven't even recovered from the spasm, but he kissed my lips again.
Until now, I'm still problematic of where this could possibly lead us. Based on the doctor I consulted, once I give the information he wants, he may not want to go back to that past. He might lose some parts of his memories forever, and that's what I don't want to happen. He deserves to know everything about his past but it takes too much time and patience for him to remember what happened in the past years. I sighed, allowing my nerves to relax. It only helped little... or none, probably. I swallowed hard when I noticed his small action. I held my breath in while I'm beside him. He then slowly put the glass of rum on the table and leaned his back against the metallic chair comfortably. "So, how did you know about my past?" His deep mellow voice was enough to make my heart shudder even if he threw his words fluidly. I gulped and hugged myself more in fear. "You have no plans of telling me the truth, am I right?" he asked, voice
"Nice... I love the party..." His one hand was inside his pocket while the other was holding the glass of cocktail juice, sipping on it coolly. "I wanted it simple and solemn. I didn't invite big names and personalities," I said. "Is he invited? Did you inform him?" He asked smoothly. But before I could even answer him, my eyes caught that man walking inside the entrance of the gate. My heart was frozen by his surprise appearance. Looking so magnificently hot and seductive in his navy blue long sleeve polo that folded up to his forearms. He never failed to clutch my heart out and leave me breathless. I watched him cross the crowded people while his eyes never left mine. I wanted to stare at him more, but it was cut off when I heard Ellwood clearing his throat beside me. "Whatever speech you have boiling, I don't wanna hear it," I said through my tight lips. I heard him chuckled lowly before leaving me alone and greeting Hezekiah. "Dude, long time no see... I'm glad you came." E
I realized a lot of this when Alessandra and I had a talk. I left her with a light heart and there's no anger left inside. Even before, I already forgave her.I halted from my tracks when I felt something wet gushed on my thighs. Then my stomach rumbled in pain."Oh God!"I quickly walked to the car. My delivery seemed earlier than the due date? I thought I could still drive but I can't take the pain.I was left with no choice but to call Ellwood."What?! We... wait, where exactly are you?!" he frantically said.I told him the exact place and after only a few minutes, I heard his car nearing.I woke up in a child's loud cry. I slowly opened my eyes and looked for the baby."Hey, wonder woman."My eyes lifted to Ellwood. I can't help but to smile.Beside him was a man carrying a child. My tears started forming at that scene."You're here?" I uttered in my low and weak voice.Ellwood glanced at Hezekia
"Were not yet through, my wife," he spoke in a rough voice, making sure he has control over me."Please just fucking let go off me..." I thought it would come out as a hard tone, but it came out almost like a whisper in the wind."I know you've been dreaming of me last night, every fucking minute of your night. I know deep there inside, you wanted this much to happen as much as I want you..." His soft tone vibrated all over my nerves."No. I don't... I can't!" I sterntly said. Tears formed around my eyes but I didn't let it fall."As much as I wanted to be near you or being with you. I just can't... I couldn't, Hezekiah." I slowly shook my head."It's not that easy. Alessandra is alive and your child... your child you chose over me!" My voice already cracked but I still my managed myself."No, Sweetheart," he whispered softer now."Please..." I struggled to get off of his hold but he didn't let me."Just one more chance, sweeth
"What time is the ribbon cutting again?"I was talking about the opening of the Jewelry shop Hezekiah built. He also invited me to the mall in Manila that just got finished, but I couldn't go because it's too far. I decided to just go to the new branch of the company because it doesn't sit right that I couldn't attend this event, too."10 am in the morning, so may you still have time to think about it again." She rolled her eyes and stood up."Come on, Zuay! I know it's not you..." I teased. Even if she said that she hates Hezekiah, I know she's still hoping for us to get back together again."Tss... I better go back to work." She turned around and and left my office.After she closed the door, I leaned my back against the chair. I gently caressed my baby bump and closed my eyes.He shouldn't find out about my pregnancy. Not because I don't want to give him his rights as a father, but because I'm scared of the result once he found out.
I chuckled lightly, "We already talked, he went to Galla a few days before I flew black here. He asked for my forgiveness and a chance, but–""No, no, wait... you mean, you two talked and you didn't even mention your situation?"I slowly shook my head.My gaze lifted to him when he held my hand above the table."You should've told him that you are pregnant."My lips quivered while staring at him. I didn't expect him to say that. I know he didn't like Hezekiah for me even way before. Why does it seem like the world just turned upside down?"No, I can't..." I shook my head again.His eyes lingered on me. He slowly caressed my hand and looked darkly at me."I want to show you something..."We didn't finish our food because we quickly walked our way to his car.I didn't ask where we were going, but based on the path we're taking, I think I know where it will be.When his car stopped in front of Cervantes
Carrying the bottle of wine and long glass, I walked my way to his cabin. I know the risk of taking this chance, but I have to do this to clear things out. What's about to happen may exceed my expectations, but I don't want to worry about it now. Clad with the tiny speck of courage left in me, I raised my hand to knock on his door. The door opened and I saw shock registered on his face when he saw me but composed himself right after. "Uh, I–I ah..." I quickly raised the bottle of wine and the long glass. Instead of saying anything, he just got the bottle and glass from me. He pulled the door close which made me step back... "Didn't you enjoy your wine?" His voice flowed calmly. My breathing hitched as he stepped closer, not wanting to be inches apart. "Yeah, we need to talk." I finally said. We're now facing each other in front of the small table of his cottage. He poured himself a glass of wine and took it all in one g
From a distance, I could already see Ellwood at a corner of the restaurant. He glanced at me and slid his phone on his pocket before standing up. "I'm glad you accepted my invitation." I said formally before offering my hand for a handshake. "My schedule is not that tight today," he said and sat down. I signaled the waiter to serve the foods and drinks I reserved. "I wanna go straight to the point. I want to pay all of the Cervantes' debts on you and your family. Even the interests and your effort and swats on the company. Name it, I'm ready to pay." "I better get going, dear." Aling Sita stirred me from my thoughts. She's probably finished cleaning the vacant cottage. "Why don't you join me in breakfast?" "Thank you, dear, but I have to clean a lot of rooms. And I already had my breakfast earlier, " she said. I glanced at the cottage beside mine before turning to him again, "Is someone gonna rent the vacant cottage?"
"How are you, you went late, huh?" He put two beers on the table and sat in front if me inside the cottage."I just worked overtime. Are the kids asleep?"He seemed to not believe my reason because his eyes went to my swollen lips."Yes, they have school tomorrow."Silence ensued between us."Is it about Emory?"My jaw clenched as I drank off the bottle of beer I'm holding."You won't come here at this late hour if you're problem is not that heavy," he said.I only shook my head and continued drinking."Come on, it's just women. Why don't you leave the other one? Problem solved!" I heard him chuckle before holding his own bottle of beer .I chuckled, if only it's that easy, I would've done that before."Why? Do you love both?"I licked my lips, not knowing what to answer, "You have a lot of questions." A smile appeared on my lips because of his nosiness."I'm serious. I know you love someone more that the other."I shook my head on him. "If
I carefully sat on a chair near her and watched her sleep in slumber. My eyes went to her baby bump. If I'm not mistaken, it's her due month. I can't help but to smile bitterly. I slowly raised my hand and caressed her stomach. If my child didn't die, it's probably my due month, too. Again, the splinter of pain in my heart intensified. I could still feel here inside, digging and buried deep right into my heart. Endless, as if the pain will never stop. "Emory..." I quickly turned to Alessandra's voice. I also quickly removed my hand from her stomach. "H-Hi, how are you?" I said as I cleared my throat. She smiled timidly, "You're here..." she said in her weakened voice. I didn't answer. I also want to ask myself why I decided to come with Marcus. But when I looked into her eyes and watched how she suffered from all of this, I also wanted to question all I went through and ask if what she experienced was actually more painful than
