Chapter: EpilogueMarissa’s POV“Hmmmm,” I moaned when I felt a tingling sensation under my top. Diego whispered my name in my ear as his finger played with my nipple on my right boob. I could feel his manhood on my butt, moving against me. He kissed the side of my neck. I did not open my eyes and just felt his touch.His hand moved downward until it reached my pajama. He then slipped his hand inside to touch me on my core. I moaned loudly when I felt his index finger poking my spot. He rubbed it teasingly. He shifted my weight until I was now completely laying on the bed. He did not even remove my top and just pulled it up so he could devour my boobs while his hand while still playing with my core. I spread my legs so he could gain access more.“Ah, Diego…” I moaned, meeting his touch.I ruffled his hair, almost getting to my climax. His poking turned into a circular motion, at first sensual and slow until harsh and fast. Every circle he makes, is every moan I did that echoed in our entire bedroom.

We are beside each other, while in front of us were Mr. and Mrs. Benitez who were looking at the both of us. Ms. Zeana was the one who did not take her eyes off me, her worry was still vivid in her gaze, so I tried smiling to assure her that everything was fine.George Benitez cleared his throat and regarded Diego beside me. “Diego,” he called his nephew, “do you want to marry Marissa?”“Yes,” Diego answered without even thinking twice.“I saw your mother slap her twice because she was against of your relationship,” Ms. Zeana stated.“Just like what you said to her,” Diego regarded Ms. Zeana, “she is not my mother. I just cared for her because I grew up under her care. I loved her more than anything - even more than my own deceased mother. But hearing her hurt Marissa, I can’t bear it anymore.”“Hmmm, I see,” George Benitez nodded while saying that. “I will talk to Margarita when we see each other.

Don’t treat it as a big deal,” Nica assured me. “For some point, he is right, that maybe I was too overwhelmed and cared about you and Lilith, that is why I judged him too soon.”I sighed in relief and hugged my best friend. “I’m sorry again.”“I know you know him more than any other people, that is why you may have a reason why you choose to forgive him. But whatever it is, I just want you and Lilith to be happy.”“Thank you, Nica. You are the best.”After our lunch, I went to Nica to apologize because of what Diego said to her before he left for work. Lilith and Nanny Elisa stayed in the living area while I was escorting Brylle and Nica outside the house since they can’t stay long.“Just tell us if you need anything, Marissa. We wanted to check on you after the storm that hit,” Brylle said as he placed his arm on Nica’s shoulder.I smiled and nodded. “Thank you for visiting us. I will invite you again this weekend,” I said.“Bye!”After we kissed each other

Chapter: Chapter One-Hundred-Eighteen: Protect Marissa and Lilith At All Costs Marissa’s POVDiego was right. It took five days before the rain stopped and the weather became good. We definitely just enjoyed the time we were together in his condominium, doing what lovers do, and savored every minute I am with him in this little world. “I can’t wait to see Lilith,” I said to Diego while he was in the driver’s seat. “Are you going to work after?”He nodded, his other hand on the steering wheel while his right one was on my hand that was resting on his left lap. “I have to. There were a lot of conferences that were on hold due to the bad weather,” he said and squeezed my hand before kissing the back of it. “Let’s have a date later. Get Lilith and Nanny Elisa ready also.”I hid my smile but could not so I just pouted. “Why? We have been together for five days. Are you not sick of me?”“Why would I? Seeing you everytime is like a holiday. You are the light in my darkest world, and Lilith is the new color of my life. I don’t think I could ever forgive myself if the

Chapter: Chapter One-Hundred-Seventeen: Claim You As My BoyfriendMarissa’s POV“What?” I muttered.Diego did not even answer me and immediately stood up. Without even opening my mouth, he pulled me up and continued doing so until my butt was on his left shoulder and my head was facing his butt instead.“Diego!” I called out. “Put me down!”But he didn’t listen. He marched towards the hallway without even turning off the television in the living area. I hugged his waist as he held the back of my knees in front of his body. When we reached his dark bedroom, he laid me down on his bed. With the help of his yellow lamp shade, I could see him taking off his shirt and dropping it on the floor. He didn’t even remove his eyes from mine as he proceeded pulling down his shorts until only his brief was exposed in front of me. I refused to look at his bulk below and just the lustful expression he was bestowing.He slowly crawled on the bed on top of me until he matched where my face was looking.

I also crave tea… I mean, it does not mean I want it, but maybe I need… but like it’s not really my type, but I did not want to waste the trouble you rendered in making that, so-““Marissa,” he cut me off, which made me stop blabbering stupidity. “If you don’t want tea, it’s okay. If you want, then I will give you.”That’s what you get from acting nonsense, Marissa! Now you are exposed in front of this handsome creature on Earth!“Yes! I would like some tea!” I agreed and chuckled nervously. “Sorry, it must have been the wind that made me panic.”“Panic from what?”“Panic from, uhhh, rain outside.”The baffle was plastered across his face as he followed me nearing him.

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: PhoneI slowly looked up to Dark who was tightly hugging me as he furrowed his eyebrows and watched the car sprinting away which was about to hit me a while ago. I could see his chiseled jaw above my forehead, making me gulp due to its intense feeling it was giving me.“Fuck that driver…” he mumbled and looked down at me. “Are you okay?”I immediately shook my head and snapped out from my thoughts so I could push his chest away. “I… I’m sorry…” I said and cleared my throat.“Why are you mad, by the way?” he asked.“I am not,” I denied abruptly and turned my back on him, only to realize that my heart was beating so fast.We entered the mall after the guard examined the two of us. A woman in a black suit and hair in a bun who was formally standing in front of the guard straightened up as she saw us. I was about to ignore her, but Dark approached her half way. I squinted my eyes and did not have any choice but to follow.“Good day, sir,” the serious woman greeted with a frowning face. “I hope

I immediately closed the book when he appeared he looked at what I was reading. A smile plastered on my lips as I regarded him.“Oh, where are we going?” I asked with mandatory enthusiasm to avoid suspicions.“At the mall. We will buy a dress for you,” he said.“But why?”“Dinner in Baguio,” he said. “Jachrimo is already there.”“And do you mind if I ask why we are going to Baguio? It is too far… and cold,” I suggested and tilted my head.“A celebration,” he answered briefly answered and turned his back on me. “You’d better be ready next minute.”My face was disgruntled as I followed him with my glares. He talked to a maid before going his way. The maid, on the other hand, escorted me to my room and gave me the privacy to change.Sometimes, he is sweet. Sometimes, he is just a pure asshole. I could stand his cousin more than him. He wanted me to be his wife, and yet, I could not even go closer to him.

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Fell On HimI paced back and forth in my room as I repeatedly looked at the cell phone plastered on the bed. I am reluctant to call my dad and report to him that Dark Vergara wants to marry me.This is the thing that I want, right? I am here to seduce him so that he will fall in love with me, ask my hand, and marry me to gain information about his gang's lousy activities. After that, I am out on this mission.But why is this happening all so fast? I did even go pass by a month here, and yet he is already proposing to me, which was my ultimate goal that I expected to go through a process. Because it was supposed to be that way!To distract his enemies? What does he mean by that?After pacing back and forth, I decided to try opening his study room again and not call my daddy to report anything unless I had my own answers. I have to investigate on my own this time because I am confused about his motives. He is not well-aware of who I am, so it is impossible that he knows about my identity and decides

Chapter: Chapter Eight: Marry MeI'm thirsty. That was what I thought when I got up in bed and felt my throat so parched in the middle of my sleep. Going to the kitchen was the primary plan I had as I stood up and left my room to drink water. While yawning and going down the staircase, I noticed how dark the mansion was because the lights were all turned off... except the dining hall. I could see it through the hallway, pertaining that someone was still awake. A maid, perhaps? I would not be bothered in either ways since I also interact with them to create a good reputation in this mansion. In that way, they could also respect me as much as they respect Dark.I did not mind a person being in the kitchen, though. I just walked through the silent and eerie hallway. I will gradually see who is awake since I will have to pass by the dining hall before I can get to the refrigerator."S-Sir!" I exclaimed and almost jumped when I saw Dark Vergara sitting on a stool in front of the counter of a small bar. He only raised h

His nonchalant expression greeted me as he placed some women's clothes beside the sofa where I was sitting. I looked up at him and caressed the clothes he had just brought."You can wear all of these while you are here," he said, and demonstrated his hands."These are not new. Whose clothes are these?" I curiously asked when I noticed that there were no tags, and they looked like they were already used.On that question, he avoided his gaze and transferred it to the ongoing show on television. I squinted at his reaction. That was suspicious. "No questions. Just wear them," he said, avoiding the question. "Anyway, are you comfortable here? Or do you want me to transfer you to another room?""No, I am good," I said and smiled. "Tomorrow, we will go to your place where you and your supposed husband reside." I feel like I was caught red-handed. What? Why does he nee

I tiptoed towards the huge curtains in the living area and stole a glance from the grand staircase, checking if someone was listening to me. Thank goodness the maids are busy in the pool area, so the living area was deserted. It was only me in the middle of a hot morning. "Yes, Dad," I answered and peeked over the thick, expensive curtains to see the maids cleaning outside. "I am in his mansion, and he is currently in his room. I don't know if he has the agenda for his gang today. Yesterday... everything happened so quickly..."From me planning to be hit by his car, so I could gain his sympathy. Went to the hospital, pretended that I was unconscious, and was even shocked that he was there - waiting for me to wake up. He even watched me open my eyes and guided me to sit on the hospital bed. And now... I am in his mansion with a roof on my head, a guest room that was offered to me, and a time frame that we could

Chapter: Chapter Twelve: My WifeAs agreed, Karlo and I went to the university where I can process my enrollment to pursue an MBA. Most of the time, he was the one who took care of it, while I took pictures around the campus, where some places are just astonishing to photograph so that I could upload them to my Instagram account.“Who is that hottie? Is he new here?”I lifted my head in curiosity when I heard a high-pitched, womanly voice nearby. There was a group of ladies languidly walking through the pavement, not far away from me. Their eyes were fixated on the registrar's office where Karlo was talking to a professor through the small window. He was nodding while leaning over the counter so he could hear the blushing professor and stifling a malicious smile. I frowned even more when the group stopped in their tracks so they could check out Karlo.Yeah, right, I almost forgot the part that I am not the only one noticing that he is handsome and hot. Most women I know from my sight would get head over heels for him

He didn’t even give me a last glance, while I just crossed my arms watching him go away from me, like I was just some trash he discarded when the consequences of loving me are waving at him right now. I felt a presence behind me, so I looked over my shoulder, but not enough to see Karlo completely.“I’m sorry, but I had to tell him the truth before he gets in the way,” I heard him say.“Before he gets in the way?” I echoed. “What the hell are you talking about?”“If you continue your relationship, you will be in danger. And not just you! Also him and his family! Do you want to get him killed in the process, now that our enemies know your identity now?”I couldn’t answer, because deep inside, I know that he was right. I can’t let Ian get involved in whatever this is. Maybe he loves me, but he can’t risk being with me at this time.

It’s just that my phone was confiscated, that’s why I could not text you back!” I explained with a dramatic hand demonstration.He shot his eyebrow. “Did that stupid guy confiscate your phone just so he could solo you?” he accused and held both of my shoulders. “Why? Do you already like him?!”I gasped and grunted, now being conscious of the guards nearing in our direction. Looks like I don’t have a choice but to drag him inside the mansion. My eyes drifted to him again, assessing him to see if he would be possibly like Helen, turning to be an enemy.

He glanced at the ice cream I was holding, while I was just waiting for him to answer. He was having a grim expression, as if he despised the ice cream.“I would like to have a taste,” he revealed.“Only taste?” I echoed. “You don’t want to eat another cup?”“I don’t like cold and sweet food.”I frowned. “What a choosy man!” I said bluntly and scooped an enough amount of ice cream on my spoon. “Say aaahhh?”Karlo furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, repeatedly glancing at the spoon and then my face. I neared the spoon again, slightly touching his lips so it would urge him to eat it. He did not have a choice but to open his mouth and eat the handful of ice cream. He stared at me f

Five pm, huh? Sighing, I opened the door and the silent hallway faced me. I could not hear the voice of Karlo from anywhere. I was still spacing out just because I was newly awakened, when a housemaid emerged from the end of the staircase. She saw me from my doorway that made her alert in her stance.“Madame,” she acknowledged my presence. “I am asked by Sir Diego to call you for dinner.”“Oh, you’re done cooking?” I curiously asked.“No, madame.
