View MoreSandy’s POVI looked from one person to the next, trying to decipher what Ida had just said. Even Anthony had barely said anything or moved from the sink, and it was making me very angry. Ignoring me was different but not telling me about this as someone who was his best friend and fake partner, that he lives with pissed me off. I was getting tired of this treatment. Just when I was about to march my way to him, Ida got down from the counter and approached me.“I hope you don’t have problems with this. You see, I was the one who asked, and he didn’t want to agree at first, but I told him it is just for a few days. The paper for my apartment is already prepped.”I looked past her to glare at Anthony. My heart was burning from the anger I was feeling. I scoffed and looked to the side. I squeezed my eyes shut for some seconds before nodding my had in agreement.“I am fine with it since my opinion doesn’t count. And you,” I pointed at Anthony. “Mr. Hogan, we need to talk.”I did not wait
Sandy’s POVThe four of us sat around a small round table at the small restaurant Trent had told me about. They served a fairly good food, suitable for their rich lifestyle. Ever since we arrived, I had lost my appetite and only put a few spoons of food into my mouth while Ida chatted away with Trent and Anthony about work. It was almost as if I was at a business luncheon with my boss, sitting quietly like the obedient assistant that I was. Anthony only gave me a few glances and that was only when we ordered and when the food came. Ida was all up in his face, getting his attention and making him respond to her. I wanted to believe that she was so invested in him that he barely had time for me. I knew Anthony well enough but these past few hours have been quite confusing for me.“Sandy?”At the sound of Trent’s voice, I raised my bowed head and made eye contact with him. He smiled and looked at my plate before looking back at me.“Why aren’t you eating?”The table became quiet and I di
Sandy’s POVFor the umpteenth time that night, I checked my phone for time with a heavy heart. Anthony had not returned and it was close to two in the morning. I could barely sleep or sit or lay at a spot. All I thought about was what he was up to so late at night and why he hadn’t called me. It was unlike him and I purposely did not want to over think anything, especially in the direction of him and Ida. But something in my guts made me believe he was away from the room because of her and the more I put my mind to it, the more I felt like I was going to implode.When the time on my phone swapped from 1:59 to 2 am, I sighed and went to the bed. My body was tired but my mind was too active. I sat on the bed and stared at the door for a while before looking down at the phone in my hand. I was tempted to call him but I did not trust myself to stay calm without being moved by my emotions, especially the hurt I was feeling.I shook my head and laid down on the bed. I stared at a random spo
Sandy’s POVI didn’t know what to feel as I stared at her. She was just as perfect as she had been all those years in school. Even more perfect looking. My heart clenched the more the I stared at her over Anthony’s head.Ida Hills, Anthony’s first crush, the one girl in high school he ever liked. She was here, before us and in that moment, it felt like I had a threat. The silence in the room proved that. Even Anthony no longer stood between my legs but was backing me and I could see how stiff his back was, probably drinking in the sight of the woman in awe. I shifted my gaze back to Ida and took in how much she has changed over the years.Her hair that always reached her shoulder was now long, touching her back. Her body was perfection, slim and curvy with those long legs that Anthony told me he always found sexy. I swallowed as I stared into her bright blue eyes and glanced at her rosy and high cheeks. She was smiling the charming smile she always had on whenever people made her happ
Sandy’s POVI was not okay.I was feeling like a hot potato boiling in a pot. My heart was racing fast and pounding to the point I felt like blood was rushing in my ears. My stomach knotted more and more when I tried to convince myself that sitting on Anthony’s lap was normal.Nope, it was not. There was nothing normal about it. Especially when I could feel his taut stomach against my side, and his warm hand on my naked thigh, followed by his cock that was slightly hard under my butt. The feel of it made me sit stiffly, too scared to move so he would not feel awkward.“Relax,” he whispered in my ear again. “Remember what Raina said.”I glanced at Raina who was standing beside her mother. She winked at me and smirked before looking away. I sighed and forced myself to relax. My body tingled when I felt Anthony’s hand move upper on my thigh. He gripped my thigh and rubbed the spot he gripped. My pussy throbbed and I knew I was so wet from what he was doing.“You need to get used to me to
Anthony’s POVI stared at my cousin, who I have known to run her mouth and be a poke-noser, with a frown. I was not surprised that she was the one saying this. But what made me more worried was what she had said about the others suspecting something off. It wasn’t anything new to me or any family member. We were the type that was full of doubt first before believing anything due to how serious we were about life or any decisions.“What are you talking about, Raina?” I asked and she put a shit eating grin on her face.“Oh, come on, Anthony. You can fool others but not me,” she said and crossed her legs. “I know you are not the type to get into a relationship. Especially when you swore heaven and earth that you wouldn’t settle down. So, how come, you suddenly start dating someone out of the blue?”I wanted to pull her ear and drag her out of the room. I did not want to listen to what she was saying. It was better I was not aware of the fact that there were people in the family who suspe
Sandy’s POVAnother week rolled by, and I still had not resumed work. At some point I got used to it and only watched Anthony leave for work and come home like a housewife. It felt weird sometimes, waiting for him to come home. It got to a point that I became excited when he came back. One time, he had come home while I was in the kitchen, he had wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek then said something about getting used to coming home to me.Anthony was the most annoying man I ever knew and I hated how the things he did and said made my heart flutter and feelings grow.“What are you thinking about?”I snapped out of my thoughts and looked away from the plane’s window to look at Anthony, who sat on the other side of the arm rest of the seat in the first class section of the plane. I smiled and shook my head at him.“Nothing,” I said, and he sighed.“I really wish I could avoid this event,” he said and huffed. “Why did my aunt even have to set the event in Seoul? Just b
Sandy’s POVI heard Anthony speaking somewhere in the living room and I made my way to the room. He had his back facing me as I walked out of the kitchen to where he stood, on a call with someone. As if sensing me, he turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back and he opened his free arm. I went closer and wrapped my arms around his firm body then inhaled his scent. I rested my head on his broad chest for some seconds before I propped my chin on it with my eyes on his face.“Yes… The meeting was scheduled for next month and the invites was sent out yesterday. All I need is for the board to be present for the briefing at the end of this month,” he said and winked at me, making my insides flutter. “Mhm… Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow.”The call ended and I sighed in relief before smiling again with subtle blinks. He smiled and wrapped his other arm around my waist.“What do you want?’ He asked.I opened my mouth to reply, instead he wagged his finger in my face, making me pout.“No… I
Sandy’s POVThe wave of awareness dawned on me, and a weightless feeling made me confused as I opened my eyes, which I shut the moment a bright light flashed in my eyes. I waited for some seconds before I opened them again. I blinked and stared at the white ceiling with its ceiling fan, twirling slowly. The room was unfamiliar and to understand where I was, I looked to the side, and I saw a wide window showing me the daytime brightness and buildings close by and in the distance.I looked to the other side and realized from the IV pole and bag, the small wardrobe across the room, the leather couches close by and the large TV screen on the wall, that I was in a hospital. I looked down at my body and saw I was laying on a large hospital bed.I knew what hospital I was in just by the style of the room. This was Anthony’s family hospital, and I was in one of the VIP rooms. I heard a shuffle, and I glanced in the direction of the noise. Anthony was sitting up from a lounge-like couch, rubbi
