Chapter: Chapter 074-Bianca-“Thank you, sir.” Inabot ko ang buko mula sa kamay ng sikat na Russian businessman. This is my chance para makuha ang loob niya. Mukha nakuha ko agad ang interes niya dahil hindi siya basta-basta lalapit sa akin kung hindi.Habang sumisipsip sa straw ay pinagmasdan ko siya mula ulo hanggang paa. Nakasuot siya ng set hawaiian shirt and shorts, at may sunglasses sa kanyang mga mata. Nakataas ang gilid ng bibig nito, at kahit hindi ko kita ang mga mata niya ay alam kong pinapanood niya ako.Ngumiti ako at saka inipit ang buhok sa likod ng aking tenga. “What’s your name, sir?” kunwari ay hindi ko pa siya kilala. “Oh, please. Drop the sir. Just call me Artem.” sagot niya at inilahad ang kanang kamay. Malugod na tinanggap ko ito, at may pagpisil pa siya bago niya ako binitawan. “How about you, my beautiful lady? What’s your name?”“My name is Bianca.” matipid na sagot ko. Ibinaba ko ang buko sa tabi ko, pero kinuha iyon ni Artem at siya ang umupo sa upuan.“Did you just get here?”

Hindi naman full nung nagbook ako.” “But this isn’t a hotel. It’s a cottage.” ayaw pa rin nitong magpatalo. Tapos naupo pa ito sa tabi ko. Umusod ako palayo sa kanya. May binabalak ba ito?Hindi pwede! Kasal pa siya kay Beatrice!“Sir, hindi ito magandang biro.” mariin ko siyang tinitigan.“I am not even joking!” natatawang saad nito.Pano ako makakatulog ng maayos nito? Pano kung makita niya ang tunay kong itsura? Baka bigla itong magpropose. Di ba may gusto nga siya sa akin?Naku baka hindi. Kasal pa nga kasi siya. Kailangan niya munang ayusin ang annulment niya.“Bakit ganyan ang itsura mo? Don’t worry hindi kita kakainin.”Napalunok ako. Kakainin?Pwede naman.Tapos bigla itong tumawa ng malakas. Walang humpay na tawa hanggang sa sumakit ang tiyan nito. “Hey, I was just joking!” tapos tumawa ulit ito. “Alam mo sir, nakakainis ka

I've got butterflies in my stomach too.Tinanggal ko ang kamay ko sa pagkakakapit ng mahigpit sa upuan at saka ito ikinawit sa leeg ni Vaughn. Gumanti ako ng halik sa kanya. Hindi namin alintana ang ibang tao sa paligid, at pakiramdam ko ay kaming dalawa lamang ang nasa eroplano. Ginaya ko ang galaw ng mga labi niya at naramdaman kong napangiti ito.Tatanggapin ko na sana ang dila niyang gustong ipasok sa bibig ko anng bigla akong nahimasmasan. Narinig ko ang boses ng isang flight attendant na nagse-serve ng mga drinks. Agad kong itinulak si Vaughn palayo. Steady na rin ang plane sa taas kaya wala nang dahilan pa para matakot ako.“Okay na ako, sir. Salamat.” salamat sa masarap na halik. Napakagat-labi ako.

Oo, bumili ako ng mga make-ups para sa pagkikita namin ni Mr. Ivanov.Pipirma ba naman sa kontrata si Mr. Ivanov kung ganito ang itsura ko? At saka kilala ko ang karakas ng mga katulad niya. He had a thing for gorgeous women, and this was my chance to take off my disguise. Hindi ako excited. Kinakabahan ako dahil hindi ko alam kung mapagtatagumpayan ko ito.Alam kong sa pagpirma niya ng kontrata sa Dela Paz Manufacturing Company, hindi magiging top 1 ang Santos Group, pero hindi din maa-annul ang kasal ni Vaughn kay Beatrice.Saka ko na lang iisipin ‘yun kapag sure na ako na hindi nagtagumpay si Julio Santos.

Parang balewala lang sa kanya ang galit ko at nagsimulang magtrabaho.Damn this woman!“Nagtext? I didn’t receive anything! At pano ka magtetext? Hindi mo nga alam ang number ko?” galit na lumapit ako dito.Napahinto ito sa pagtatype sa keyboard niya at tumingin sa akin. “Sir, may amnesia po ba kayo? Nagpalitan tayo ng number nung kumain tayo sa jollibee. Matanda ka na talaga sir. Ang bilis mong makalimot.”“What?” I scrolled through my phone. Wala talaga ‘yung number niya, and walang pumapasok na text sa akin. “Hindi ka talaga nagtext. See?” I showed her my phone.Bianca rolled her eyes and snatched my phone. Hinanap niya ang text niya. “Wala nga sir. Bakit po ganun? Baka may nagblock sa number ko.”Napaisip ako. Could it be Beatrice?Damn!“Save your number again. Palitan mo ng name.” I told her.

Hindi man lang tumawag para sana naiwasan ko siya at nakaalis na ako bago pa siya dumating.“I came here to apologize and to have lunch with you.” sabi nito at saka ibinaba ang dala-dala sa ibabaw ng mesa ko.I sighed as I went back to sit on my swivel chair. Pagbigyan.“I’m sorry about what I said last night. Nabigla lang ako.” sabi niya habang binubuksan ang lunchbox. “And sorry din sa mga nasabi ko about Justin. Binabawi ko na. I’m willing to accept him as my son.”Well, it’s too late.Hindi ako umimik.

You copied your cousin’s face, tapos inagaw mo pa ang boyfriend niya, so you’re all fake!” sigaw nito sabay duro sa kanya. “Okay, I’m all fake.” sabi niya sabay hila kay Diane para tumayo.

This marked my first encounter with my grandparents-in-law, hoping that it wouldn't be the last.A maid opened the door, greeting us with a respectful bow and gesturing for us to enter. Enzo held my hand while his other hand clasped Riza's as we stepped inside. We were welcomed by a beautiful woman seated gracefully on the living room couch. She was someone I recognized but had yet to meet. Beatrice Jackson.''Hello, Enzo...'' she said with a flirtatious smile, rising from her seat to approach him, planting a kiss on his cheek. Her gaze remained fixed on him, seemingly oblivious to our presence.''Beatrice, what brings you here?'' Enzo inquired, releasing my hand to wipe away the lipstick mark on his cheek.''Oh, grandpa invited us for dinner. He mentioned you would be joining us...'' she replied nonchalantly, then took Enzo's hand from Riza's. ''Come on. They are waiting for

She was using a cane for support, and a metal brace extended along her right leg. What happened to her? Had she been involved in a fight with her fellow inmates?Our eyes locked, yet her expression revealed no emotion. She appeared to have lost considerable weight, her once fake ginger hair now dark and cut very short. Her complexion appeared quite pale, and she seemed excessively thin, a stark contrast to the woman I believed I had fallen in love with.Mandy was hardly recognizable.''Mandy...'' I spoke as she settled into the chair opposite me, with the guard positioned a few meters behind her.Mandy regarded me with an expressionless face. ''What the fuck are you doing here?''I observed her closely, noting the animosity reflected in her eyes.''I came to say goodbye. I'm leaving Manhattan...'' I replied, anticipating her inquiry

Chapter: Too lateChapter 147Troy I had just paid a visit to my mother's grave and opted to enjoy a coffee at a nearby café beforehand. As I gazed through the glass window, I noticed a woman on the pavement across the street who bore a striking resemblance to my ex-wife. Her long peach dress, covered with a coat, fluttered in the breeze as she stood, lost in thought, staring down the road. She brushed a strand of her ginger hair away from her face with the back of her hand, a gesture so familiar that it sent a jolt through my heart.I rose abruptly, inadvertently knocking over my cup of coffee. The woman turned her lovely face upward, and for a fleeting moment, it felt as though she was looking directly into my eyes. In that instant, I realized that the woman was indeed my wife. I recognized her without a doubt.ReeseThe last time I had seen her at the office, she had noticed me but chose to ignore my presence, heading straight for the elevator to meet her husband, Lorenzo Carter.Prior to that, I h

He teased my slickness with his finger before suddenly pushing it inside, causing me to jerk. He pulled it out and pushed it back in repeatedly, all while keeping our gazes locked.

Then he leaned down and kissed me gently, but I could still sense his desire. He positioned himself at my entrance, and I gasped as he lifted my legs, holding them firmly, making me yelp.

After I pulled away, he slipped the ring onto my finger and kissed my hand gently.He sighed softly, looking at me with happiness, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before giving me another sweet kiss."I love you, Nicole," he murmured, pulling me closer and deepening the kiss.Just as I was about to respond, a nurse walked in to check on
