For one minute, there is a pin-drop silence in the bathroom.
Areiza wipes the water on her face with her hand and sat on the bathtub. She looked at Darren who stood at the door with his half-naked body. He was not that heavy muscled, but taut and slander. He looked like someone who often workout. I wanted to look away, but it was like my eyes were not listening to me and glued to his body…
“How long are you planning to stay there?” Darren's low voice fell into her ears.
Hearing his voice, Areiza quickly came to her senses and come out of the bathtub, and said, “I am sorry… I am sorry…”
Why did I sit at the edge of the bathtub? Can’t I just stand there and wait? Areiza said in her mind.
Darren looked at the woman standing in front of him. She was wearing a white shirt, and because she got wet, her shirt was glued to her body and her bra was visible inside her shirt. Looking at her like this, Darren, felt his throat become dry…
He throws the towel at her and said, “Why are you apologizing?” His voice was a little horse.
“I… I will change the water for you.” Areiza said and was about to open the drain of the bathtub but stopped by Darren.
“No, need. You go outside and get changed.” he said.
Areiza hears his words, nodded, and quickly run out of the bathroom like a deer. As she came out Darren closed the door.
Areiza looked at the closed bathroom door and felt like her heart was still beating very fast. Thinking about how Darren looked just now, she felt like her face became hot.
Areiza patted her cheeks and shook her head to chase those thoughts out of her mind. She went to the cupboard, took out her clothes, and get changed.
As she was changing her clothes, she heard the sound of the phone ringing. Looking at the direction of the sound, she saw that it was Darren’s phone. When her eyes fell on the caller ID on the screen…
Areiza's heart sank. Looking at Hallie’s name on the screen, her heart turned cold. The thought of the man she loved belonging to someone else, made her heart very painful.
Not long after Darren came out of the bathroom. He stood in front of the mirror and wipe his hair. However, she was no longer in the mood to look at him. The more she looked at him the more pain she felt in her heart.
Areiza took her wet clothes and went to the bathroom to put them in the washing machine.
Before leaving she looked at Darren and said, “Hallie has just called you.”
Darren paused, looked at her but he just nodded and didn’t say anything.
When Areiza came out of the bathroom, she saw that Darren going out of the room while talking on the phone… She seemed to hear Hallie’s name.
Who else can make him go out in such a hurry other than Hallie? Areiza thought.
****
Blue Jay Bar.
Darren looked at the dim lights of the bar and entered slowly. Just now when Hallie called him, she had told him that she was not feeling well. He rushed out of the house to go there…
But he doesn’t know, when he sits inside the car, he didn’t want to go over. So, he just called Hallie’s doctor and asked her to go over. But he also didn’t want to go home…
In the end, he called his few friends and came here for a drink…
“Darren, there you are. We are waiting for you so long.” Jason spoke as he put his hand around Darren’s shoulder.
“Get lost.” Darren pushes his hand away and walked to the counter.
Darren picks up the glass of wine which Alex had filled for him and drank it all in one gulp.
“Oh, Mr. Venzor, be easy. What happened? Why did you look so upset?” Alex saw him drinking like this and asked…
Darren didn’t say anything and started to pour herself another glass of wine.
“Let me guess.” Jason came over, looked at Darren’s face, and spoke, “I think it was because he is too greedy… He wanted to marry Hallie, but he didn’t want to leave Areiza… right?”
Darren, hear his words but didn’t say anything… Because deep down in his heart, he knows that he was right…
From the moment, Areiza had signed the divorce papers, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart… That was also the reason he came over to drink…
Seeing him like this, Jason cried out in surprise and said, “You can’t be thinking that… right? Darren let me tell you, you can’t have two women at the same time.”
“Jason if you don’t speak for a while, no one will think that you are mute.” Darren glare at Jason and said in a cold voice.
“Okay, Darren let’s play something. It will help you to ease your mind…” Alex patted his shoulder and spoke.
Darren thought for a while and nodded.
Alex threw a cue at Darren, and he catch it.
“Okay, let’s play.” Jason said.
Alex set the pool table and let Darren break it. Seeing the rolling balls on the table, Darren's heart calmed down a little.
As Darren was playing, Jason looked at him and asked, “Darren, let me ask you something?”
Darren didn’t say anything, and Jason continued…
“After you and Aria got divorced, do you mind if there is another person who try to pursue her?”
Hearing this, Darren looked at Jason with cold eyes.
“Hey, don’t misunderstand, I am not talking about myself. We all grow up together and I always treated Aria as my friend. I was just thinking that Aria also needed someone in her life who can pamper and loved her.”
Hearing this, Darren paused. When he thought about Areiza having another man in her life… this thought made him feel irritated.
“You guys play, I am leaving.” Darren said and walked out of the Bar. He was no longer in the mood to play.
Darren carried Charlotte to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church, where the reception was held. Inside, he placed Charlotte on the bed while he sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?”Charlotte kept her eyes closed and held her breath nervously, not daring to open her eyes.“Well, it’s good things you that you don’t want to wake up!”Before Charlotte could even begin to understand what he meant, she felt his warm breath seep into the skin on her face. Charlotte opened her eyes and met Darren’s deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from her and he was about to kiss her. Fortunately, he stopped the second she opened her eyes.Seeing his smile made Charlotte excited. “You know that I just pretending?”Darren didn’t answer the questions. “Were you aware that I was outside at the time?”Charlotte couldn’t respond to his query, so she just looked at him blankly. She had won the bet. At first, Charlotte just hoped that Stella could
Today was Peter and Anna’s wedding day.Darren came to the villa early in the morning to pick up Charlotte. However, Charlotte didn’t want to show up with him in the same place.“Charlotte, if you don’t want to see news about us breaking up tomorrow morning, then you had better come with me.”Even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking right now, the truth remained that the public still saw them as a loving couple. Though Charlotte was uncomfortable about the idea, she had no choice but to go to the party with Darren.When they entered the banquet hall, Darren wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her body against her.The fabric of Charlotte's dress was thin, so when his palm landed on her waist, Charlotte’s body temperature rose and she felt her blood coursing through her veins.All the other guests at the wedding looked at them with envy. Teasing and sighing at how sweet they were.Charlotte was so embarrassed that she turned to him and said, “Let me go, will you
Peter was right behind the door when he saw Stella badgering Darren. He watched as Darren pushed her away and ran after Charlotte.Stella fell to the ground, but she got up held onto Darren’s lap, and continued begging regardless of how humiliating her act was.“Darren, where are you going? Don’t go! Please.”“Let me go,” Darren growled. In an act of desperation, Stella shook her head, held on to him, and refused to let go. She was no longer the proud woman she once was.“Darren, I’m begging you. Just give me a chance to be with you!”Finally losing his patience, Darren pushed her away from him and stopped her before she could latch him again.“Stella, you have no idea why I’m letting you show your face to me. It’s not because you are my friend, nor it’s because I want to keep some sort of connection to you.”“Then why?” Stella asked with tears in her eyes.Peter didn’t hear what Darren said in the end. He saw how despair consumed Stella and it showed on her face. She fell on her knee
“Its fine. Rose and I share a birthday. Charlotte is a good friend with her, so I’m sure she will be willing to celebrate her birthday.” Stella said firmly.At that moment, Dora crap out by Stella so well-informed. ‘And she is so adamant on getting her hands on Darren.’The more Dora thought about it, the more she sensed something was amiss.As soon as Dora got home, she told Charlotte everything that Stella asked her to do.Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, “You should ask him directly. He can make decisions on his own.”“Aren’t you worried that rumors would circulate if he attended her birthday party?”“He probably won’t go,” Charlotte replied after some consideration.Dora nodded in agreement.The next morning, Dora asked Darren for his opinion. He just looked at her, and asked, “What did Charlotte say?”“She said that it’s up to you,” Dora answered.“Up to me?” Darren frowned in confusion.“Yes, but she also said that he probably won’t go,” Dora added.“Is that so? I will
“But I can’t stand it anymore, baby! Just let me fuck you, okay?” Darren lifted her chin with his finger and begins sucking on the tip of her tongue.Everything he did felt so good that Charlotte eventually gave in. He began caressing her tits, rubbing her nipples, and then pulling them. Soon, Darren loosened his grip on them. Charlotte’s breasts jiggled and bounced after he let them go.“Ugh,” A moan escaped Charlotte’s mouth, completely arousing Darren. He pressed his body against Charlotte. Thereafter, Charlotte felt he is huge manhood rubbing against her vagina. As Darren kept moving, Charlotte's desire grew, and she could no longer think of anything else.“Charlotte, can I?” Darren pressed his manhood against her, making her wetter by the second.“Darren, I want It. Give it to me.” Charlotte had no strength to hold back his neck. She wanted to grab something, but all she could do was to randomly wave her hands in the air.“What do you want me to give you baby? Tell me.” Darren be
After the meal, Darren touched Charlotte's forehead to check her temperature again and pulled her out of the Starlight restaurant.“Come with me to my office.”“But I wanna go home and rest,” Charlotte complained.“Well, you can sleep inside my office, too. Come on!” Darren put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her to his car.When Charlotte got into the car, she was about to fasten her seat belt, but then Darren leaned into it and fastened it for her. The tenderness in his eyes made Charlotte blush.Darren then cupped her cheeks, smiled at her, and leaned closer to her face. “Kiss me!” he said.“Huh?”Just before Charlotte could gather her composure, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Charlotte held her breath nervously too anxious to make any noise.It was already lunchtime, so many people were coming and going outside the place. Their car park was visible to many people. Passerby could easily spot them if they would look at them.Charlotte didn’t want other people wat
