After I finished, I picked the most expensive and elegant evening dress in my closet. My curves was perfectly shown as it fitted my body. I let my naturally curly hair down.
I smiled as I looked at myself inside the mirror. I had a thin pointed face, cheekbones that sat high on my face. Lips that smear of pink lipstick and glossy skin.
I was contented as I pulled my purse and went out of my room.
I was gripping at the steering wheel tightly as I drove closer to the place. I felt mixed emotions of fear. Fear of myself and fear of what would happen after.
If I won't do this, Hezekiah might slip off from me. I need to bring him back, no matter what it takes.
I parked my car at the main door. I took a deep breath and glanced at the entrance. I'm determined and no one could stop me.
I handed my key to the valet and walked inside. I gave my name to the receptionist with a huge smile on my face.
She looked at my gown first before nodd
I'm to broken. I wanted to tell him everything, all the pain I've kept inside of me, but my anger took the better of me. Tears spilled down my face continuously and my lips quivered so bad that I couldn't speak more. He stood there in front of me, unable to utter a word. "Now you're asking why I'm here? Why I'm still hoping that someday you'll wake up and realize that you still love me! Because I'm tired of waiting Zeki. I'm tired!" My shoulders slumped down and I can't look at him anymore. My heart was burned and tired. I guess I can't talk more. "Emory..." his soft tone didn't ease my pain. What I really felt right now is hatred. My heart was rebelling at the pain he inflicted to me. I felt him heave a sigh and his feet nearing. I closed my eyes when he caressed my cheeks. The dark of his eyes slowly turned into a lucid one. I tried to drop my eyes a few times but he didn't let me. "I know you're hurting. I didn't know what y
v She instantly shot her brows up at me before looking at Mom who was pale from all the happenings. "Ah, will you please excuse us for awhile?" Marcus grabbed my arm and pulled me somewhere. He brought me to a dark corner where only few people pass by. "Let go of me if you don't want me to humiliate all of you!" I said with my full voice. "Not here! You can't do this here, Meredith," he whispered with piercing eyes. "Yes, I could! I will do it and no one could stop me, not even you!" I exclaimed. I tried to pull my arm from his grasp but he didn't let me. "Alessandra wants her anniversary be held im here. It's for your own good, too. Because I want other people to think that Gabriel's a different person and not your husband,Hezekiah!" he said with clenching jaw. I narrowed my eyes at him and pushed him forcefully. "How dare you?! What do you think of the people here? Stupid fools?! If you managed to mani
I gulped. I noticed how Alessandra's forehead creased while the two were casually conversing. Marcus held Alessandra's arm and interrupted the conversation. Her mother's eyes were going back and forth on Gabriel and who he was talking to. Because of the distance, I was not able to hear what they were talking about, until they looked to my direction. My heart almost stopped as I watched Alessandra's face turned into a grimace. She faced Marcus and quickly held his wrist. I dropped my head because I couldn't meet with her stares. "Ah, Hunts..." I said, voice wavering. "Ma'am!" he answered quickly. "Let's go home..." I didn't wait for his response and turned my back, exiting the place. But suddenly my feet stood in the ground when someone's called my name. "Meredith, where are you going? The party just started!" Tyra stopped me. I'm just here if you need anything, Ma'am!" Hunts whispered right behin
"If I'm wrong, then why did you pretend? You said you're husband's working abroad yet you're actually a widow! You're a liar!" Anger slowly rose in me. I balled my fists as I accepted everything she said for the sake of not causing any more scene. But what she said next pushed me to my limit. "Because the truth is that you want to flirt with my husband! You're a bitch, a sl*t!" I was about to talk back when Mom stepped in. "Don't you talk like that to my daughter! I didn't raise her just to be disrespected by you! You are nothing compared to her! She's well educated and I never did once taught her to be a mistress!" She then glanced sharply at Gabriel who was clenching his jaw. "Minerva! Don't talk like that to my daughter!" Cassandra said. "Enough, Minerva!" Dad tried to stopped her. "Don't stop me, Adriano! These people have no manners! I think they don't know where to plae themselves!" Mom expelled viciously. "Excuse
"You b*tch!" In a blink of an eye, she managed to slap me. "I gave my trust to you! I let you step inside my house because I thought you're true! But I was wrong for thinking I let a human insid3, because you're a snake! A snake!" That was the last straw. I raised my hands to slap her back. She stepped back at the impact. "You bitch! You're a whore!" she shouted hysterically. Marcus tried to stop her by holding both her arms. But she didn't budge and fwced the guests. "Look at this woman! She's my husband's mistress!" She say it louder and clearer. "You might swallow your words! " I talked back. "Alessandra, that's enough! Something bad might happen to you" Marcus said. "I won't stop until I erase this woman's face!" she shouted. "Is that what you want? I'll tell you the truth. In front of everybody so you'll shut up!" I started to raise my voice. I saw Marcus froze and unconsciously loosened his grip on
"Oh, you want to check if my sister's still alive or already dead, is that it?!" he said through gritted teeth. "No! I didn't know that this will happen. I'm so sorry!" I shook my head repeatedly. "I don't believe you! Don't you dare go near Alessandra or go here, or else I'll call the police!" he said sharply. He harshpy let me go and turned around. That's when my tears bursted. I was very hurt for Alessandra. She doesn't deserve all of these. We both just loved and got hurt, so I don't blame her anger towards me. "Please, Marcus... Tell me she's fine... Please, I'm so sorry!" My voice already cracked. My tears kept on falling as I watch him walk away. My vision slowly blurred as I was overwhelmed with emotions. "D*mn! What are you doing here?!" I heard Ellwood's baritone voice beside me but I didn't have any strength to answer him as my vision turned black. I abruptly got up from bed because of the struck of l
I stopped teasing him. I actually missed these moments with him. Like we don't have any problems. No walls between us. I'm happy that we're slowly going back to what we were before. I was happy at the result of his visits here in the Villa. We always do movie marathon every weekends like we usually do. He also make sure that I don't do anything in the house. He hired a housekeeper to help me with some stuffs and do the laundry. At the very least, I rested my mind from overthinking. I don't think too much about tomorrows because Ellwood is there. "What do you want to watch?" he asked me one afternoon while holding the remote control. I was laying on the sofa while my feet was on his lap. The bowl of popcorn was on my stomach. "Anything, you're the only who's gonna watch it..." He glanced at me and lifted his lips. "Are you gonna sleep on me again, huh?" Before I could say anything, he reached my waist and tickled md. In the end,
I slightly opened the gate and my lips dropped open when I noticed a familiar build standing right in front of me. We exchanged looks for about a second, until my phone rang in my pocket. I blinked and quickly answered the phone. "H-Hello?!" I stuttered. "Hi! How are you there?" My head raised to him before answering back. "I'm... fine. You? When will you go back?" "Hmm, do you already miss me?" Ellwood said delightfully. I can't believe you but to put out a smile. "Of course not..." I murmured. I noticed his stares went to my lose white shirt at cotton short. He glanced up at me and his eyes darkened. "Alright, I'm just checking you out. We're here at Batangas port. I'll be busy in a few hours so I called you." "Uh, okay..." I murmured again. I averted my eyes. "Hey, are you okay there?" Ellwood asked in a serious tone. "No, I'm fine..." "Good, I will call you aga
