All Chapters of Craving Pleasure (English): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Nala’s Point of ViewBack when I was a kid, I never dreamed of holding a gun. I also never dreamed of ruining my life again, but maybe this is really my destiny. Ever since Mama died and left us, it never crossed my mind to go back to my old life because I wanted to make it up to her even without her around. I wanted to show her that I could fulfill her last wish.I closed my eyes tightly while gripping the gun tightly. I knew this was the right time to show the result of months of training. It’s like a final exam for my side because this is where I can show what I’ve learned. This is where I can measure how far I can go.I admit that I’m nervous and scared because I know that one wrong move could cost me my life. I feel like my stomach is flipping as I think about what could happen to me, but I need to remind myself that I can’t let fear take over. I need to be strong for myself.“Don’t pull the trigger unless it’s necessary, Nala. I’m with you. I won’t let you get hurt. As much as p

Hugo’s Point of View“Hey,” I muttered as we entered my condominium. Nala’s calmness is bothering me so bad, fuck!She looked at me without saying a word. I can’t read what she’s thinking, even though I am now looking at her beautiful yet emotionless chocolate eyes.“What is it? Do you have something to?” She asked coldly.I can’t help but feel amused and nervous at the same time. I’m amused because she doesn’t know how hot she is with her cold expression registered on her face, yet I’m nervous at the same time because I don’t want her to be like this.I gulped. “Are you mad?” I asked gently.She shook her head, adding to the anxiety in my chest.“Don’t worry about it. I’m going to rest now.” She turned her back to me, but I didn’t let her foot step away from me. I hold her wrist.“I’m sorry,” I said, but I’m not fucking sincere. If I were to decide, I’d stick with my plan. I want her to live with me in my house, not for my personal reasons but for her safety.I don’t trust Lawrence.

Nala’s Point of View“What are you doing here?” I asked in disbelief, my wide eyes still staring at him.“I’m going to stay here,” he replied, and then walked straight into my house, brushing past me.“What the—didn’t we already discuss this?!” I said a lot of things earlier, and here he is ending up here anyway!“Let’s just talk tomorrow, baby. I’m exhausted,” he said with his eyes closed, sitting on the bamboo chair in the living room, leaning back on its support.I shivered again when I heard him call me by that endearment. I don’t know why I can’t bring myself to scold him for calling me that way. I’m not his baby!I closed the door and then faced him while both of my hands were on my waist.“Where were you coming from anyway? Why did you come to my house instead of going to yours, huh?!”He opened his eyes; exhaustion was evident in them. I felt a little guilty for my outburst.“I’m from the office. I just finished a meeting there. I was about to go home when Fang called and told

Nala’s Point of View“Uh, I’m sorry, but Mr. Fabellon is not here at the moment, sir. May I know what your appointment is with him?" I asked politely because I know he is not easily approachable based on his posture and the people surrounding him.I think he is in his mid-50s, but his handsomeness is still evident.“Are you his secretary?” he asked coldly.I nodded. “Y-Yes, sir.”“I have an important meeting with your boss.”I bit my lower lip. I knew it. It’s important. Where is Hugo, anyway? Why hasn’t he given me his schedule yet? As far as I know, that’s my job here!“M-Maybe he’s already coming, sir. You can wait for him and make yourself comfortable here.”“Sure.”I guided him to the black sofa. I need to attend to him so he won’t get bored, especially since he’s an important person.“Do you want coffee, sir?”“Yes, please.” He picked up the latest business magazine on the table and flipped through it.I nodded and quickly went to the pantry area. I brewed coffee and also grabbe

Nala’s Point of ViewHugo stopped going home to his own house and stayed at my house for the following days. He even brought his clothes there, as if he planned to live in my house. During those days, we argued every day because of what he was doing. There wasn’t a day when I didn’t tell him to go back to his own house. He didn’t say anything else except that he wanted to be with me.“Do you and your husband have any plans to have children, dear?” Aling Perla curiously asked while getting the shampoo that I specifically bought from her store.I furrowed my brow at her words. “Husband?”She nodded and handed me my purchase. I handed her the payment.“Isn’t that handsome man living in your house your husband? The one with the expensive car. Oh, I’ve been wanting to ask you about that for a long time, but there was never an opportunity. It’s been the talk of the town here in our barangay that you disappeared for a few months because you got married and went on a honeymoon in another coun
