Nobela ni Loveless

Kristian’s jaw clenched tightly. Step by step, he walked toward my desk, bypassing Elena and leaning in close, his eyes dark with irritation."You're making a scene, Ana," he said softly, a low threat hidden in his tone. "Huwag mong kalimutan kung sino ang kausap mo. Don't act so high and mighty in front of me.""I am the owner of this brand, Kristian," I hissed back, leaning forward to match his gaze. "At sinasabi ko sa’yo, zero pieces from this room will ever touch her skin."Kristian let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head."Owner? That's funny. Nakakalimutan mo na ba kung paano nagsimula ang negosyong 'to?"He gestured around the luxurious space, the velvet drapes, the glass display cases filled with precious gems, the state-of-the-art gemology equipment in the back."Sino ba ang nagpondo sa’yo nung wala ka pang pangalan, Ana? Who paid for your first workshop? Who pulled strings with suppliers to get you high-grade diamonds when no one took you seriously? Ako." Kristian leaned in

The light filtering through the sheer curtains of my atelier was brutally sharp, piercing straight through my throbbing skull.Bagsak ang katawan ko. My entire body was aching with a deep, heavy soreness that made every small movement feel like torture. My muscles were tense, my head was pounding from last night’s heavy drinking, and beneath the surface of the hangover, there was a far more dangerous sensation lingering between my thighs, a subtle, thrumming ache that kept reminding me of him.Pakiramdam ko, ramdam ko pa rin siya sa loob ko. The weight of his hands, the warmth of his skin, and the memory of how gently, yet possessively, he took care of me last night while I was helpless.Dios mio, Ana. Napapikit ako nang mahigpit, clutching the edge of my mahogany desk as a wave of shame and heat washed over me.Umalis ako kaninang umaga habang tulog pa siya. I practically snuck out like a thief in the night, dragging my exhausted body out of the penthouse before he could open those d

Anastasia's POV“NO! WE ARE O-” my words were cut off when he slammed his lips into mine. Noong una, umiiwas ako pero hinawakan niya ang aking leeg at pinisil ito. He also grind his hips on my middle dahilan para mapasinghap ako. Kinuha niya itong pagkakataon na ipasok ang kanyang dila sa nakabuka kong bibig. “Mmmp! Mmmp!” pinisil niya ang spot sa aking leeg at unti-unti na akong sumuko sa kanya. From not kissing back, nilalabanan ko na ang ferocity ng kanyang halik. Nang bitawan niya ang aking wrists, kusa itong kumapit sa kanyang ulo at sinabunutan ko ang kanyang buhok. Gods! His kiss is just so addicting! I can’t help myself but to kiss him also in a desiring way! Saglit ko pa lamang siya hindi nakakasama pero nananabik na ako sa kanya. He grabbed the shirt that I was wearing at mabilis niya itong tinanggal. Napangisi siya at napadila siya ng kanyang labi nang binuka niya ang aking mga hita and saw my already wet center. His eyes sparkled with mischief. My hips bucked when h

Anastasia’s POVI woke up with a massive headache and the sunrays of the sun hitting my face. Oh my god! I feel like puking, pero huminga ako ng malalim para mapigilan ko ito. Teka, nakauwi ba ako kagabi? Did I go home to my husband? No, if ever I did, hindi sana ako nakahiga rito sa isang malambot na kama. Maybe sa apartment ni Kate? Natigilan ako nang may isang malaking kamay na sumangga sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa aking mga mata. Napakurap ako ng ilang beses at tiningnan kung sino ito. My mind was hazy at first, and I was shocked to see Royce, my boy toy, ang lalakeng iniwan ko a night ago is here. Napatingin ako sa buong paligid. I saw the familiar room where some nights with him ay nagaganap rito kaysa sa private room sa club. God! What am I even thinking?! I was too drunk to realize na binigay ko na pala sa kanya ang condo! “Good morning, ma’am,” malambing niyang bati sa akin. I glare at him at matamis lang siyang ngumiti. May inabot siyang isang baso ng tubig na aking tin

Anastasia's POVI pushed the heavy door open, stumbled inside, and let it click shut behind me. The penthouse was dimly lit, the floor-to-ceiling windows showing the breathtaking, glittering skyline of the city.Umiikot ang aking paningin, at sobrang init ng pakiramdam ko. I kicked off my painful designer heels, leaving them haphazardly near the entrance. Pagewang-gewang ang aking lakad at mabuti na lang hindi pa ako natutumba. Tumungo ako sa living room… Suddenly, I froze.The scent of warm sandalwood, expensive tobacco, and clean rain filled my nostrils. A scent I knew better than my own. I blinked through my blurry, tear-stained vision. Sitting on the dark grey leather sofa, illuminated only by the city lights outside, was a tall, familiar silhouette. He was swirling a glass of amber liquid in his hand, looking effortlessly breathtaking, looking at me with dark, unreadable eyes.My heart stopped. Then, it hammered violently against my ribs."You..." I muttered. Humawak ako sa likod

Anastasia’s POVMy throat closed up. The warmth of the alcohol was loosening my tongue, lowering every defense mechanism I had spent years building. For two whole years, pinanatili ko siyang isang sikreto. Walang nakakaalam kahit ang best friend ko. It was my own, and I wanted to stay in the bubble. He was my dirty, dark, beautiful little fantasy. But now that the fantasy was over, the burden of keeping it inside was crushing me alive.A wet sob escaped my lips before I could even stop it."Ana?!" Kate’s eyes widened, leaning in closer. "Hey... oh my god, what's wrong?""I... I did something, Kate..." I choked out, tears finally spilling over my lashes, washing away my expensive makeup. "I fell in love." Natigilan siya, napakurap, tapos ay nagtataka na tumingin sa akin."In love? With who? Anong ibig mong sabihin?""I had... I had an exclusive male escort," I whispered, my voice trembling violently as I buried my face in my hands. "Two years, Kate. Two fvcking years. He was an escort
