Salvatore
"Thank you very much," Victoria said after the men who had blocked her path finally ran off, having promised me they wouldn't do it again. Not to brag, but even though I was only fourteen, I was already a big guy. Plus, I was used to hard work, so when it came to strength, I had a clear advantage over them, especially since they were high on solvent.
"You're welcome. Next time, don't walk alone." What if I hadn't been there? What if I hadn't seen and followed her? What could've happened to her?
"I'm Victoria, by the way," she said softly, as if shy, her head slightly bowed.
"I know." She quickly looked up at me. "Your father is well-known in our town, so it's not surprising if I know who you are." She nodded but looked a little sad. "Did I say something that upset you?"
"Huh? Oh, no, not at all." She smiled as she said this, but there was still a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"Do you have a problem? You can tell me." I lifted her c
Victoria"Dear, where were you last night?" asked my Dad as soon as I sat at the dining table. I purposely woke up late to avoid seeing him, but it seemed he was waiting for me, as it was already past lunchtime, and he was only eating now."I just ate with friends, Dad. Why?" I calmly answered the person I hate the most in the world—my father, Arturo Caloia, known as the kindest government official in the country but an evil father to me."Are you sure?" he asked, raising an eyebrow when I glanced at him. He hates it when I'm not looking at him while we talk."Yes, Dad. Why? Did something happen?" I asked, confused."You need to be careful because your friend, Odette, was attacked by some kids. She's in the hospital, beaten badly.""What?" Just last night, she was with me when we beat up that flirtatious waitress. "Who did it?""Are you even listening? I said it was a group of kids hanging out. Boys and girls with nothing better
Victoria“What are you doing here?” asked my worthless husband. Honestly, apart from his money, I can’t find anything to like about him. Even other women wouldn’t look twice at him if he didn’t have money or wasn’t driving an expensive car.“Have you forgotten? This is my house, too,” I replied. He probably thought I wouldn’t answer back. Before, I would let him say whatever he wanted, and I didn’t care. But now, with everything going on in my life, I couldn’t care less.I walked past him and headed straight to our bedroom. The housemaids knew everything happening inside our home, and I was sure they had already broadcast it to their families. I wondered why this news hadn’t spread across the country yet, considering how prominent my dad’s name was as the frontrunner in the upcoming presidential elections next year.When I entered the room, I was greeted by a woman lying on our
AngelIt’s already Tuesday, but I still haven’t told Salvatore about Nadia asking me to go out. I also don’t know how to bring it up and can’t find the right moment to ask for permission.Since Saturday, when I woke up, and he was no longer in bed, we haven’t had the chance to talk because he’s always out of the house. We haven’t even shared a meal, and I wonder why his brother suddenly disappeared.I had just finished lunch and thought about hanging out by the pool area again. I sat down on one of the chairs and took out my phone. But I was startled when a voice suddenly spoke behind me."Have you finished lunch?" I turned around and saw Salvatore approaching, my gaze following him. He looked so handsome in a black long-sleeved polo with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His stance was all man, and he exuded a commanding presence. No wonder Victoria feels so jealous that time.“Huh?” I asked
Mature ContentAngelI could feel the intensity of his kisses, making my body burn even more. I don't know why I feel this way whenever we're close. I always get excited. My young body constantly longs to be touched and felt by him."Fuck, baby, I missed you so much!" he exclaimed before lifting my t-shirt, so I raised my arms to help him take it off quickly. He swiftly unhooked my bra. "Your breasts are so beautiful, baby."I smiled at his words. Earlier, he said he was drooling over my body, and looking at him now, I wanted to believe him. "They're all yours, Salvatore."He looked at me and smiled. I felt his fingers playing with one of my nipples, causing my legs to wrap tighter around his waist as well as my hand gripping on his shoulders. I arched my back from the pleasure, wanting him to take it into his mouth.He carried me to the bed and laid me down, with him on top but without putting his full weight on me. He continued gentl
AngelIt's Saturday, and I am at a well-known mall in Angeles. I arrived early because Salvatore had one of his men drop me off. He wouldn't let me leave alone. I smiled as I remembered what he said after our heated moment of intimacy:"Fuck, baby, don't do that again."I was puzzled, so I turned to him. We were both lying on our bed, catching our breath. "What do you mean?" I asked.He looked at me, flicked my forehead with his fingers, and said, "I was in the middle of fucking you, and you hit me with this thing about going out with your friend.""You told me to learn to use my assets!" I replied, grinning."And you fucking learned fast! Right when I couldn't possibly say no or nothing, just so I wouldn't lose my momentum." Then he pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. "I was expecting you to strip in front of me while asking for a favor and all."I laughed at what he said. I didn't expect to bring it up then, but I did. I shook my head, replaying that scene as I sat at one of the
Angel "What was that?" Nadia asked in shock, quickly wrapping her arms around me. I was unable to answer her because the next thing I knew, I was being yanked away by a man. "Ahhhh!!!" Nadia screamed as she stood frozen in front of me while the man behind me had his arm around my neck. I felt the tip of a sharp object pressed against my neck and I had an idea what it was, making me feel scared. "Don't come any closer!" the man shouted, his voice wild with panic. My eyes widened in fear, and my body stiffened with terror. "Please, let my friend go…" Nadia begged through her sobs, fear and worry evident on her face. "Let her go!" a newly arrived police officer commanded. "Don't come near, or I'll kill her!" the man snarled. Fear gripped me tighter, and I could see Nadia's face mirroring the horror I felt. "Release the woman and come with us quietly," the officer urged, his face stern and calm, though I had a feeling the man holding me wouldn't listen. "Get out of my way, all of y
AngelI slowly opened my eyes, but the intense brightness made me shut them again."Angel! Angel!" Nadia's voice called out to me, so I opened my eyes again, but carefully this time."Girl, are you okay?" she asked, her face coming into view. Suddenly, the memories of what had happened flooded back, and I quickly looked around in panic."The man!" I exclaimed, my voice shaking."He's gone now, bes. I'm so sorry; this is all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to go out, none of this would've happened to you." Nadia was crying, so I forced a small smile to show her I was alright.I was about to speak when the door to the room opened—only then did I realize I was in a hospital. A man in uniform entered, someone I vaguely remembered being called Calderon by the man who had taken me hostage."How are you, Angel?" he asked, a little unsure. "I'm really sorry I couldn't stop that bastard from hurting you. But don't worry, he's in police custody now." I looked at him, finally getting a good look
SalvatoreI didn't want to let Angel leave, worried she might not return. Even though things were already happening between us, and I knew she wanted it too, I still couldn't shake the unease. She was so young—what if she met someone else? I wasn't the type to be sweet or show care to anyone.I used to be, but not anymore.I had one of my men accompany her to drive her to the mall. Angel would call me when she was ready to leave so the driver—always nearby to watch over her—could pick her up.My man reported everything she and her friend did. At the same time, I stood in my massive garage, facing another fool who couldn't follow simple orders."Boss, I'm sorry, it won't happen again," the man said. I had sent him to collect payment from one of our clients who had bought weapons, but the idiot tried to double-cross me. I couldn't understand why they thought they could get away with this, especially knowing what would happen to them if they did.I smirked because this scene was exactly l
Angel“Mommy, is this okay?” Savinna asked. It was Saturday, and we were in the kitchen, preparing lunch for Mauro, Nadia, and Angelo’s visit.Last week, Salvatore invited me and the kids to go out. The twins had a great time since I hadn’t really taken them anywhere like that before. Honestly, I wasn’t familiar with Manila and could only navigate around Angeles and Pampanga, which has probably changed a lot by now.“Get up and go to the living room, sweetheart. Let Mommy and me handle things here,” Salvatore said with a smile as he picked up our daughter from her chair and placed her on the floor. “Go and play with Savanna.”“But she doesn’t want to,” Savinna complained. Salvatore looked at me for help, but I wasn’t going to save him this time. I was done dealing with the twins' endless arguments and discussions about everything. It was his turn.“Besides, I want to help.”“Sweetheart, you’ll be a bigger help if you stay in the living room. Why don’t you turn on the TV and check if t
Mature ContentMauro"Nadia!" I blurted out, slapping both of my cheeks just to make sure I wasn't imagining her."What are you doing, idiot?" she asked, and I chuckled. That confirmed it was really her."How did you get in here?" I asked, stepping closer as she approached me, too."I opened the door.""And you think I wouldn’t know that?""Then why are you asking if you already know?""I'm asking you, my love. Can’t you just give me a proper answer for once?" She's always like this. Every time I try to have a serious conversation with her, she just jokes around."You're drunk. Why would I bother talking to you properly?""I'm not drunk! I just had a few drinks.""And you had to argue about it.""You still haven’t answered me. What are you doing here?""Looking for Angelo." She was staring straight at me while I was getting annoyed. Why was she looking for that kid?"Why?" I asked, trying to hide my irritation."He left his keys at my place.""He went to your house?" I asked to confir
MauroI’m nervous about my plan. My talk with Angelo wasn’t going to take a whole week, but I told Salvatore just in case something unexpected happened.I love Nadia, and I want to be with her. Damn, I’m old, yet I’m still single because I kept waiting for that stubborn woman.Honestly, it’s fine because I allowed Nadia to do what she wanted. She could work, and I could see the happiness on her face when she finally gave her parents a good life.Now that Angel is back, I’ve decided to take things seriously with that restless woman. Well, after talking to Angelo, I hope it will go well. Salvatore is lucky; he already has twins, and I’m just about to start my own family.“What are we even going to talk about?” Angelo asked. I looked at him closely and couldn’t help but shake my head and smile.We were on the balcony of the condo we lived in. Yes, we lived together. Ever since Angel left, I took care of him. Better me than him staying with Nadia; that would’ve given him an advantage over
AngelEven though my body was sore, I still woke up early the next day. I was already used to this routine, so it didn’t really matter how tired or sleep-deprived I was.I looked beside me and saw Salvatore still fast asleep. I couldn’t help but smile, remembering how he claimed me last night while whispering that he could still keep up with me.I was momentarily confused when I realized we had ended up with our heads at the foot of the bed. I glanced at Salvatore again and gently stroked his cheek.I looked at him until I noticed something on my finger. I brought my hand closer and stared at it."Do you still remember?" I turned to look at Salvatore, who was now awake. He reached for my hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it."When did you—""I never took that off. It was always attached to my necklace." So that was what I noticed last night."I'm sorry, I took it off.""It’s my fault. But honestly, I was hoping you’d leave with it.""Good thing I didn’t, or I might have sold it.
Mature ContentSalvatoreI felt like I was going crazy when I saw her nightdress. It barely covered anything, especially since it was so thin, and she wasn’t even wearing underwear. I was so damn close to picking her up and taking her to bed to claim her over and over, but she pushed me out of the room.I stayed in the living room and tried to sleep but couldn’t. After a few more minutes, I gave up and went back to the bedroom. I could clearly see her figure lying on the bed, peacefully sleeping.How could she fall asleep so quickly, as if what she said earlier didn’t affect her at all? Fuck. She told me we should have another set of twins. I’m such an idiot, as always!I took off my shirt before lying down beside her, positioning myself behind her. Hesitantly, I pressed a light kiss on her exposed shoulder, but she didn’t move.“Baby…” I called softly, continuing to plant gentle kisses from her shoulder up to her cheek. I stroked her hair carefully, like always when I put her to sleep
Angel"Mommy, are you sure you're still going to wait for Papa?" Savanna asked, and I nodded. Their classes had just ended, but Salvatore still hadn't arrived."He had a lot to do earlier before I came home, so I went ahead.""But you're still not eating," Savinna answered this time."Your Papa hasn't eaten yet either, so I'll wait for him." The two of them stayed quiet, just looking at me. "You know what? Why don't you both go to your rooms now and sleep?""Okay," they said in unison before kissing my cheek and heading to their rooms. I stayed in the living room, sitting on the sofa, waiting a little longer. I glanced at my phone, itching to call him, but I stopped myself.I waited for another hour before finally getting up to put away the laptop the twins had been using. I lost my appetite since it was already so late. I was on my way to the door to lock it when it suddenly opened, and Salvatore walked in, stopping when he saw me."You’re waiting," he said after locking the door behi
SalvatoreFor the past three weeks, I’ve felt like I’m in heaven because my relationship with Angel has progressed. I brought some clothes to my wife and child’s condo. I wanted them to live with me but knew I had to take things slow. I didn’t want Angel to think I was being too pushy.Angel and I go to work together every day, and at night, we sleep beside each other, but that’s as far as it goes. Angelo and Nadia visit them on weekends, and we all spend time together.I never thought I had this much self-control, resisting the urge to claim the woman I love. Maybe it's also because I fear she’ll get mad if I push myself on her.“You look busy.” I lifted my head when I heard Mauro’s voice. “You didn’t even hear me knock.”I stretched my back and leaned on my chair. “Not really. I just want to finish my work before going home.”“Because of Angel?” he asked as he walked closer and sat in front of my desk.“Of course. That way, we can go home together.” Sometimes, she leaves first when I
Salvatore“Papa, is it ready?” Savinna asked. I was setting up their laptops for their online class. I really wanted to transfer them to a school here in the Philippines because their class schedule was so off. Morning in Michigan meant nighttime here.“All set, sweetheart. Go ahead and take your spot, you too, Savanna.” The twins happily followed while I sat beside my baby, busy with her tablet on the sofa. I gently lifted her back a little and stretched my arm around her, pulling her close. She didn’t resist and just kept doing what she was doing.I kept switching my gaze between the twins and Angel, who was now leaning on me. I caught the twins smiling at us as if they were happy with what they saw. I signaled them to focus on their laptop, and they quickly did.I should’ve been bored since I wasn’t doing anything, but watching my family like this made me feel content.I could hear the twins answering their teacher, and it made me proud to know they were smart. Well, not to brag, bu
Angel"Look closely at the fabric and design. This is for casual wear, so it has to be comfortable," I explained to one of the designers at SA Clothing. Honestly, they were all talented, so I couldn't understand why the company was facing such a huge financial crisis."Yes, Ma'am," Jek responded. We were in the meeting room discussing the company's new designs."I want all the designs finalized for the third-quarter catalog.""Copy, Ma'am," the four designers, including my assistant, responded in unison before standing up. Just as they were leaving, the door opened, making all of us turn to look."Good morning, baby," Salvatore greeted, making my eyes widen. The people who heard him grinned, which only made me glare at him in annoyance."I told you not to call me that, especially in front of other people," I snapped once everyone had left, leaving just the two of us."And why not?" he asked as if he had no idea what I meant."Look, we're at work, and as much as possible, I just want to
