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
"How could you say that in front me, huh?! I gave all my life looking for you. I didn't stop. My world almost crumpled to pieces when I lost you! I lost everything, my life, my dreams, my happiness and I lost the man of my life! The man who promised me of forever!" I shouted with full of rage. My tears were welled up. I want to spend all my strength to hurt him to ease the pain I was feeling but no, I just became weaker and my wound's got deeper. I couldn't do anything when he pulled me into an embrace while I kept on punching his back. "I hate you! Get out of life, I don't need you!" I frantically shouted. "No, please... don't say that..." he said in a sharp breath, his hug tightening. "I can't do this anymore, Zeki! I'm tired, I had too much!" I cried. He withdrew and cupped my cheeks. His dark eyes bore into mine. I gasped, I want to look away but he didn't let me. "Yes, I admit I married, Alessandra without knowing my past.
"Can I talk to Dad?" I asked and smiled timidly to my Dad's secretary. "I'm sorry ma'am, but Mr. Cervantes is out of the country right now together with your Mom." she answered sweetly. I furrowed my brows. They didn't tell me that they're going out of the country. After the incident at the party, I haven't seen them. "Uh, how about Mr. Echeverrii?" "Yes, Ma'am. He just got out of the conference room. He's in his office right now." "Okay, thank you." I turned around to go to his office when she called me. "Ah, Ma'am... Mr. President's office is this way, " she said in confusion. I blinked as I let her words sink in. My eyes went to the closed door of Dad's office and looked at her. "I'm sorry?" I went to her table again. She stood up, obviously nervous. "M-Mr. President is inside..." she mumbled to me. I didn't ask for explanation and walked directly to the office. His head raised
"What are you doing here?!" "I have important things to do here for a couple of weeks or months maybe..." he said casually then shrugged his shoulder. I rolled my eyes, as if I care! "Alessandra went back to San Marcelino. She's with Marcus and Cassandra." he said in a low voice. "And why are you still here? Why didn't you come with them?" I said sarcastically. I saw his jaw clenched. Tss, the jerk got hit somewhere! He didn't hear anything from me so he walked to the drawer and pulled a glass. "Woah–Wait! What are you actually doing?!" I stood up from my seat. He was holding the glass when he faced me. Then his eyes slowly dropped down to my belly. I held my breath for about a second as his eyes enthralled on me. I felt my knees tremble. I just wanted to find a crack on the ground and swallow me whole right now. "I... uh, I'll give you some water!" I quickly turned around and around to o
I planned to get checked by the doctor but not for now. I want to visit the office. I think I wouldn't be able to do that anymore in the coming months. I went out of the bathroom with only a towel covering my body. And I nearly jumped out of my feet when I noticed him sitting at the couch. "Jesus! Don't you know how to knock?!" I shouted and fired him a look. "Why would I do that? This is also my room." he said in ease. My jaw clenched and gripped at my towel tightly. I was a bit confused. The way he looked at me boldly and how his eyes drifted on me. I stepped backwards when he suddenly stood up and walked to me. I want to regret it because his lips lifted into a smirk while striding nearer. "May I use your bathroom?" he said in a teasing tone and stopped in front of me. I rolled my eyes up. "Whatever..." I said and walked pass him to go to my walk in closet. When I finally locked the door behind me, that's when I sigh
I shook my head. "No, let's not. You know I'm not fond of those things." I reasoned. "Alright, how about this. I will drop by to your house then bring you some food, how was that?" I contemplated whether to agree or not. It will be bad if he happens to meet Hezekiah in the house. What will I reason out? The situation might just get worse if they see each other. "Uh, maybe in another day..." I murmured over the phone. "Why ? Do you have to go somewhere?" I heaved a deep sigh before replying. "Nothing really, I just thought I'll bother you." "I'll be busy for the next weeks. I need to fly to Australia, I have a conference meeting there. I might stay there for a week. Imagine that? So I want to spend my time here with you..." I sighed. "O-okay, whatever you want..." I murmured again. I ended the call and leaned against the chair. I sat there for minutes before I realized the time. I immediately stood up and bid goodbye to
His hands traveled down until it reached my feet. And right there, I started giggling. "Please, not there! " I shrieked. "Say it again, I can't hear you..." Ellwood teased and massaged my feet more. I learned against the chair and tried to pull my legs from him. But it seems like he does not have any plans to. "Come on! It's for your own good. Trust me..." he said and massaged me again. I laughed too hard that my sight caught Hezekiah. His eyes were so dark, brows furrowed as his mouth turned grim. My smile vanished when he faced the swimming pool and took off his shirt. And my lips hanged loosely as I watched his bare back with all his grandeur. He stood up tall and straight with his glorifying body. He then dived into the pool. My back straightened as I got off from leaning and followed him with my eyes. "He's gonna melt..." Ellwood said while shaking his head. I secretly bit my lip and quickly averted
My shoulders slumped. I have nothing to say at this very moment. Ellwood was right, he's always right. I can't argue with him. I turned my back on him and opened the cabinet where his spare clothes was. "Here, change. I'll wait for you outside." I didn't stay there for long and went upstairs to change in my own room. I'm expecting Hezekiah to be there. He already wore his white T-shirt and maong shorts. He was only in his slippers and is currently drying his wet hair with towel. He stopped what he was doing when he saw me. I walked straight to my walk-in-closet and looked for something to wear. When I went outside, he was still there, but he's now leaning on the doorway. "When are you planning to make your visitor leave?" He said while crossing his arms over his chest tightly. I arched my brows at him, "Actually, I invited him for a dinner tonight. There's nothing wrong with that, right?" I walked closer go him
