His grip becomes gentle. My mind froze and my lips trembled as his kisses went deeper yet soft. His slender fingers crawled up to my nape and pushed my face to his.
“B-Black---hmmm…” I accidentally moaned. I composed myself and started to struggle when his tongue entered my mouth. He dragged my body closer to him that made me touch his hard chest. What the heck was he doing?!I stopped and closed my eyes, letting my tears fall. Soon after, I felt him withdraw from what he was doing and moved away from me. I opened my eyes and saw how his cold eyes becomes colder.“I h-hate you. I hate you a lot!” I couldn’t suppress the emotions that were building in my chest and my palm suddenly landed on his cheeks. His face slightly tilted but still, he was emotionless. His slightly long hair hid his grey eyes.I took a deep breath as my eyes displayed hatred. I couldn’t control my anger anymore knowing that he was the reason why my baby died. Knowing that he became ruthless to me without some valid reasons. I abhor him with all of my life. I despise him as much as how I loved him before.“Are you playing with my feelings huh?” I forced a chuckle and stared at him. “Did you really love me Black? Or was it because I was persistent?” Tears streamed down my face when I remembered how crazy I was to get him.“Right, I was just a nobody at school before. I don’t have a name without my fucking surname. While you?” I smirked and tried my best to be sarcastic. “You were the apple of everyone’s eyes. Compared to you? My existence was nothing.”“I was the one who threw myself to you, so I should be the one to blame if you already got tired of me. It was my fault so you have the right to not feel any guilt.” I calmly wiped my tears away and glanced at his fingers. He didn’t wear his wedding ring, I laughed at my hopeful thought.“I promise you this Black. My heart might still be longing for you, but years from now, it will beat for someone that isn’t you.” After saying those words, I went inside my car and left without taking a glimpse of him.When I arrived home, I rushed to my room and locked myself up. I let my body fall on my bed, it wasn’t as much painful like what I am feeling now.I broke my promise. I cried again because of him. I felt like there was a thorny rope chaining my heart inside. I was crying silently, staring at the white ceiling, alone, broken once again.Minutes later, I stared at the ring on my finger. It hurts. “M-my time with you was so b-beautiful. I-it was so breathtaking and priceless so I’m s-sorry if I was desperate to h-hold on.” I whispered silently. Trying to compose my broken voice.I pulled the ring off my finger and put it inside the drawer near the bed. “I’m sorry it took months b-but…”“I’m finally letting you g-go. Away from my g-grip. Away from me.”…“Goodbye Princess! We will miss you.” Mom hugged me tight with her teary eyes.Dad patted my head as he smiled, but his eyes showed sadness. “We will visit there sometimes. I’m sorry that your brothers couldn’t be here, they were so busy with their businesses.”I chuckled and looked at them. “More like their lovers. They’re caught up with some love potion.We talked for a little while before I bid my goodbye. I couldn’t help but smile watching how mom’s tears were about to fall. Good thing that dad was comforting her.I frowned when I felt like there were eyes on me as I was walking to my seat in the plane. I explored my sight but everyone was busy with their personal business so I took a sigh and sat down near the window.I watched how the clouds danced and how peaceful it was to witness. My eyelashes became heavy and I felt that someone sat beside me before I fell asleep.“Bellaaaaaa!”I awkwardly smiled and waved my hand when I heard my friend’s sharp voice. I already arrived in New York and Candice, one of my closest friends and also my cousin welcomed me as soon as I got out from the airport.I laughed when she accidentally bumped someone while she was running towards my direction. She said something to him then walked near me with a wide smile.Her black pupils glittered as her brown wavy hair complemented her natural brown skin. “Bella, you finally decided to join me eh?”I rolled my eyeballs and smirked. “As if you were the reason.” I hugged her tight and pinched her waist which gained her silent groan.She jokingly slapped my shoulders and we both laughed like an idiot. “So, why didn’t I know that we have the same outfit today?”She shrugged her shoulders and smiled. “What? Just like the old days, we often have the same outfits.” She said.We’re wearing a black jeans paired with a white crop top and white plain slippers. My hair was tied into a bun while she just let her hair fall down her back.She’s 5’2 while I’m 5’5 so I’m 3 inches taller compared to her. However, she’s also beautiful yet noisy. Slightly opposite to Mia who’s innocent and a silent type. Well, they’re my best friend for life.“Where’s your car?”She pointed the blue Mercedes-Benz. “That one. It’s your first time to ride my car so I’m excited.”I giggled. “I was not expecting you to learn how to drive.” I shrugged my shoulders and gripped my bag. “But yeah, congratulations though!” I added.My life wasn’t easy in New York. My parents bought a condo unit just near my friend’s room. We would often hangout, talk about things and work together.I started my career as a model with nothing. My brothers wanted to pull some strings but I stopped them. I didn’t want to use our surname just to get some contracts. I want to work hard for me to earn it.It was when a big company approached me that my career started to bloom smoothly. It took me three years to stabilize my name and to make it ecstatic in their ears. Finally, I was able to say that my life becomes successful. That I made it to the top without a man’s help.It was at this moment that I knew, I finally built myself together.I stared at the lenses of the camera with a fierce look on my face. My black cocktail dress glittered as the spotlight focused on me. I slowly walked on the red carpet without any reaction while hundreds of camera’s were flashing one after another, capturing my every move. Not like others, I didn’t have any partner with me tonight. I don’t need no man. “Miss Daño, what can you say about your issue with Mr. Smith?” I stopped for a moment before I explored my sight to the reporter who spoke. I faked a smile and shook my head. “We’re just friends.” I answered. I strode inside the hall where thousands of people with popularity welcomed my eyes. The room was spacious and everything was obviously expensive. It was the 5th year anniversary of C.C. company owned by Mr. Smith, a young businessman that was linked to me for awhile now. More on, he’s just a close friend of mine. “I though you weren’t coming? Where’s your friend?” A manly voice caught my attention and my ears instantly knew wh
The sun’s light peeked into the windows and the rays touched my face, as it radiated inside my eyes which made my pupils golden from brown.I explored my sight around and found myself on my bed. I automatically gasped when I realized that my clothes weren’t the same from yesterday night. I was already wearing a white pairs of pajama.“Shit!” Slapping my head slowly, I was trying to think what had happened last night. As far as I remember, I was drunk and someone whom I thought was Clyde sent me back to my unit. However, I had doubts since he had a very familiar touch with an alluring scent of masculinity.As I was about to get up from bed, my phone rang which made me stop my actions and go straight to where my pouch was seated. I saw Candice' name on the screen so I swiped the answer button and instantly heard her sharp voice.“Bellaaaaaaa!”This woman, “Why?”“I have some good news my dear friend, wann
“Take care Bella. I’ll miss you!” I smiled and hugged Candice tightly. If it wasn’t for her support, I wouldn’t be the person whom I am now. Patting her head, I spoke gently. “I’ll be there for only five months. Once my contract is done, I’ll come back here.” Her teary eyes blinked several times before she hugged me back. Her shoulders were moving slightly. This dramatic friend of mine is always like this so I’m not surprise at all.“Call me once you departed.” I held my phone tight before nodding. “I will.” While waiting for my flight, I could feel the heavyweight inside of me. Maybe because it’s my first time after three years that I will be away from my friend who used to comfort me when I feel down.After minutes of waiting, we were called out so I went to my designated flight number. I settled everything first and walked inside the plane to suit myself before looking outside the window, then it flew above.
I watched how the water dropped from his hair to his slightly hairy yet hard chest. It traveled down to his skin until it disappeared beneath the towel that was being wrapped around his solid waist. His muscular biceps were wet and there was another towel that was on his head.He smirked devilishly. “So, you finally become someone whom you always wanted hmm?” His thin seductive lips rose a bit.I gave him a smug face and sat on the couch away from him. If I was the same person three years ago, I would’ve jumped into his embrace, too bad it’s not me anymore. I smiled and said, “My career is none of your business Mr. De Villa. I’m here for work. Nothing more, nothing less.” He suddenly let out a soft laughed and sat on the couch opposite to mine. The only hindrance in between was the small mini-table. I avoided my gaze to his inviting appearance and shameful actions. “I’m your boss now so you have to follow what I say Miss Daño.” His voi
Mariel took me to a shopping mall. It was not simply a mall, but one of the biggest mall in the world. I had no idea what should we do, but she was kind enough to discuss her thoughts.“Actually ma’am, my boss simply told me to accompany you today.” Her eyes looked down. She was wearing a ripped jeans and a white shirt. I nodded and pointed one of the stall inside. “Let’s go there.” I dragged her with me. “You suddenly rushed in my room and I wasn’t able to eat my breakfast so I’m hungry. Today is my cheat day.”Her forehead furrowed. “What is cheat day ma’am? You wanted to cheat on your boyfriend?!” She exclaimed, wearing a shock expression with her confuse eyes.I giggled. My palm uncontrollably patted her head as we got inside the food chain called Jollibee. “No. You don’t understand because you’re still young, but as a model, I need to limit the calories that I should take everyday.” “A cheat day means I can eat w
I hummed and not long after, we arrived. I pulled to park my car but soon, a guard stopped us. Mariel automatically went out and talked to the guard for awhile before she told me to give my car keys to him and I obliged. I went out, gave him my keys before he drove my car to park it at a more private place. Hmm, they truly treat me special.“I’ll guide you to where the photoshoot will be held ma’am. It’s almost eight so I think they’re already inside.” I nodded and followed her. Good thing that the building was more secured and the reporters couldn’t access here easily, I’ll be able to breath properly and not act hysterical if someone would suddenly asked me some questions about me and Clyde’s issue in NYC. The moment we went inside the huge building, the people stopped and looked at us, ----- looked at me. Some were obviously stunned and majority of them acted so surprised to see me. I was once like them too, when I was still bui
After attending to my schedule, I spent my free time working in the gym, burning my fats that I gained yesterday with Mariel. My coworkers added me to their group chat, they were very nice and welcoming. “Hello?” I spoke as Candice from the other side of the line called. “Is my dear friend so bored that you finally called me?” It was already seven and the welcome party would start at eight.“I just want to ask if your work is fine?”I started to do my make-up since I can do it on my own. “Hell yeah! It’s totally alright if it wasn’t for their boss.”“Who? Your ex-husba-----”“Well, I don’t know why but I still get irritated whenever I saw him. His face pisses me off, big time.” I exclaimed, trying to calm myself. She giggled. “His face? Like duhh…” Her voice imitated a sharp voice of a child. “Your ex-husband could even impregnate every woman in town, I know that they wouldn’t mind having the child of a billi
I glared at him then looked away, putting the wine of juice back on the table. As I explored my sight, I noticed a lot of people focusing at us. I wasn’t embarrassed, not at all. All I could feel was disgust and a slight anger for the person beside me.“Mr. Black, it’s good that I saw you.” A man in her forties said, glancing at me for awhile. “Let’s talk about the business plan that we’re about to work on.” “Tell me the details about your plan.” Black with his cold and distant tone spoke. His arms that was on my waist loosen and his gaze went to the man who was now sitting on his left side.They talked about things that I didn’t know so I stared at the people dancing at the center stage. Everything seems like golds and diamonds. “This is my daughter Mr. Black, she will be the one who will accompany you for business matters in the future.”“Good evening Mr. Black.” I automatically raised one of my eyebrows when a tall sexy wom
