Chapter: Chapter Eleven: Phone
I 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

Chapter: Chapter Ten: He Made Me Feel So Ugly!
“Let’s go out.”I was reading a book from the library when Dark knocked on the door. 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 Eight: Marry Me
I'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

Chapter: Chapter Seven: The Scripted Confrontation
"Here it is..."I paused, watching the television in front of me when Dark just swayed himself over towards my direction. 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

Chapter: Chapter Six: Mistaken Room
"Have you already proceeded to meet him?" Dad asked from the other line. 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 Sixty-Four: Know Your Place
I wanted to slap my forehead for the nth time. It was so stupid of me to doubt him. He is the only one I could trust nowadays besides Melanie, Timothy, and Glaidel. How could I suspect him of such unknown things I am even unsure about?I am surrounded by enemies, yes, but that does not mean I should not make any allies. Or else, I will be alone. “If you are still investigating the ambush that happened to my parents, why didn’t you tell me?” I asked and furrowed my eyebrows.“Minerva, I know your struggle and pressure. You are just very amazing at hiding it. That’s why I don’t want to add to your personal troubles,” he explained. “You are to become the Red Cartel queen. As your husband, I am here to support you, no matter what happens.”“Karlo…”“I promised your parents that I would take care of you. They didn’t tell me to love you, and yet I am here, desperately loving you.”I thought his words and his actions were corny to me. This time, it touched my heart. Maybe because I found t

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Three: Scandalous Apology
While I was busy with my laptop in the office, I heard a knock on the door. Dara came inside.“Madame, sorry for disturbing you, but Mr. Rodriguez is outside,” she said monotonously.“Oh, really? You can let him come inside.”“Sure, Madame.”I cleared my throat and subtly adjusted my work dress. My eyes went to the small mirror on the desk. My makeup is still okay, thank goodness. The doors opened again, and I acted busy with my work on the laptop.“Minerva.”I looked at Karlo. He was in his business suit, holding a bouquet of roses. The memory of him choking me last night flashed in my mind. I didn’t like it.“Hey,” I greeted him. “I hope you don’t have a hangover.”Conscience fled across his face. He slightly bowed his head before speaking again.“I’m really, really sorry…” he slowly said, taking two steps forward with his sincere, apologetic pair of eyes. “I know I hurt you last night. I remember it. And I swear that every word and every action, I never meant it to say or do.”But

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Two: A Price to Pay
“What is the meaning of this?” I asked the moment I opened the doors and confronted the scene.Glaidel looked up at me; shock and fear were on her face. Karlo’s arm was hanging around her neck. Melanie’s father was holding Karlo’s waist and shoulder because Karlo was almost dancing while they were trying to stand him up. They had all already stepped out of the vehicle, and my wrath was already lingering.“Miss Minerva!” Glaidel exclaimed, looking between Karlo and me alternately. “I was accompanying Mr. Rodriguez because he called me-““And why would he call you casually and not his own wife?” I muttered coldly, hovering my gaze all over her head and toe.“I… I don’t know, Miss Minerva. He just dialed my phone number and muttered things I don’t understand!” she explained, panicking at the moment. “He was talking gibberish, but I remember him talking about your parents. Dranreb Santiago. Erich Santiago. That’s what I can clearly recall, Miss Minerva!”Before I could even question her a

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-One: Light Heart
“You didn’t have to do this, Miss Minerva. This is too much,” Melanie said as I placed one box of pizza and a chocolate cake.“This is just something to celebrate your enrollment in the university. I also gave eight boxes and two cakes to the quarters of your family. They can eat there. You can join me now and then them later,” I said and smiled.Her innocent smile was fluttering my heart as she watched the pizza and cake. It made me wonder why I couldn’t be happy like this all my life when I have everything that I could ever need. Or maybe Timothy and the other people were right about me. I am an ungrateful bitch and a spoiled brat.“Are you okay, Miss Minerva?”I was snapped out of my intrusive thoughts when Melanie mentioned my name. I lifted my head, seeing her worriedly staring at me.“I’m sorry?” I muttered.Her innocent smile emerged on her face again. “I was just asking if you were okay. You suddenly look sad,” she concluded. “You know, if this is about Mr. Rodriguez, I would

Chapter: Chapter Sixty: To Be Worthy
I was already full. The paper bags were already in the trash can. Karlo stayed in my office, strolling around like it was a tourist spot. I was in front of my laptop, answering emails and inquiries and reviewing the files Timothy just sent me via WhatsApp. While doing so, I accidentally saw him looking at the family portrait. It was the one I noticed the first day I came to the company.I thought he would just pass by it, but I started furrowing my eyebrows when he started at the portrait for a long time. I mean, he is seeing me very beautiful there with my parents. Of course he would be amused by me. I flipped my hair unconsciously.“You look happy,” he suddenly said out of nowhere, breaking the silence between us.“What?” I muttered and grinned. “I mean, it’s my special day there. Of course I would look pretty.”“Happy,” he echoed and inhaled sharply. “As a family.”“Yeah. When my parents were still alive, they never skipped any special day for me. They gave me everything,” I explai

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-Nine: Choke
Karlo: I’m coming…I paused reading the statistics on my laptop when my phone vibrated, and I saw Karlo’s text. Without even thinking twice, I stood up and went to the washroom with the makeup kit that I took from my bag.Blush on.Lip gloss.Eyeliner.Comb.Perfume.I had to enhance my makeup and fix my hair. After that, with the final touch, I bathed myself with my Chanel perfume. I looked sideways in front of the mirror to check if I was missing something.I think I’m good to go now.At the right time, someone knocked on the door of my office. I tiptoed on the floor as if my footsteps would be heard from the outside. I slowly creaked the door open. It revealed Dara’s face.“Hello, ma’am. Someone is outside. He is saying he is your friend?” my assistant explained.My face went disgruntled as I slowly rolled my eyes in disappointment. “Friend, he says, huh?” I mumbled and widely opened the door. “Okay. Let him come in, then.”I wanted to lash out as I turned my back on the door. How

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.

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.

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

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.
