CHAPTER 1

My vision blurs slightly as I toss my hair, walking across the black tiled floor. I stride confidently, oblivious to anyone I bump into, lost in the powerful music. The spirit of the liquor fuels me, but I still carry myself with assurance.Reaching the center, I stop. I shake my head carefully and smile devilishly. I hear the crowd screaming and chanting. I begin to dance to the seductive music. I toss my purse aside, not bothering to look back.I slowly tease my skin with my fiery touch. I loosen my black spaghetti strap dress, shutting my eyes sensually. The people around me applaud, and though I'm aware of what I'm doing, I just want to have fun for a moment. I haven't felt this way in days.I only open my eyes when I feel a man in front of me. I look up, meeting his wide grin."Hi miss, need a company?" He holds a shot glass, letting one hand creep onto my small waist."Nope, I'm with some friends," I said softly, glancing towards the bar before returning my gaze to him.I smile

After Taste/QueenVie

"Oh damn, you're so hot baby," I breathed, stroking her thigh as she moaned with pleasure."Make it harder, Anton..." she murmured, her name a whisper against my skin. A wicked grin spread across my face.I devoured what I needed to devour, inhaled the intoxicating scent that was her. My kisses were endless, a torrent of passion poured onto her.I pulled her towards me, ripping open her shirt without a second thought. Buttons flew across the floor, ignored as my hands found their way to her firm breasts."Oh, shit..." she gasped, but I quickly silenced her with my hand, continuing to move over her.I closed my eyes, lost in the pleasure she brought me. "Oh damn, satisfy me... satisfy me," I silently pleaded.A familiar voice kept trying to break through, but when I opened my eyes and met hers, a wave of disappointment washed over me. I quickened my pace, wanting it to be over. I had no desire to hold back, though my passion was waning."Aah!" I roared, pulling out and releasing my pl

After Taste/QueenVie

My eyes ached as I forced myself to get up. My head was also pounding from the previous night's work.But I had to get up because today was my trip back to our province. I took a leave from work just to go home right away.I wore a simple shirt and pants which I paired with white sneakers. I stopped by a small restaurant to eat before heading to the airport.It had been years since I left our province to seek my fortune in Manila and utilize my nursing degree.At first, my parents wanted me to work in our town in Legazpi City, but I chose to work in Manila because the salary was higher there compared to our town.But just the other day, I received a call from my mother saying that my father's illness was getting worse and there was no one else they could rely on but me because my other siblings were still young.I let out a sigh as I waited for my flight to be called.Until I was interrupted by a call from my phone.It's Kyla.I answered her call, her voice cheerful.“Hi, I'm at the a

CHAPTER 4

After Taste/QueenVie

AFTER having lunch, we left for the hospital. My mother joined us because I planned to stop by the supermarket later before going home.I found my father asleep, his breathing deep and even. My heart ached as I looked at him.I sat quietly on the chair beside his bed. Gently, I took his hand and stroked it repeatedly. I didn't realize that tears were already streaming down my face. I bowed my head and cried silently beside him."Olivia…"I quickly wiped away my tears and looked up at my father, who was smiling at me."Father, it's good that you're awake. How are you feeling?" I asked in a broken voice."I'm fine. You shouldn't have come home. What about your work in Manila?"“Father, you are more important than my work. Besides, I'm on leave from work. To take care of you here,” I smiled. I stroked his hand again so he wouldn't think anymore.“I'm strong now and can go out.”I nodded. “So you should follow your doctor's advice and take your medicine so you can get stronger and recove
