LOGINLooking at him made me think wildly. I couldn’t help it. My hand moved on its own, trembling just a little as I reached out. My fingertips brushed his cheek first, nothing like the cold wall he usually put between us. Then I carefully traced down to his lips. They were softer than I had imagined. Fuller. My heart pounded so loudly I was scared it might wake him. I leaned in closer, breath catching in my throat. Just once. Just a little. I told myself it was only to check if he was breathing properly… but that was a lie, and I knew it. My lips brushed his, it's barely there. A stolen kiss. Warm, and I felt the spark. It sent a rush through me that made my stomach tighten and my thighs press together instinctively. I pulled back immediately, cheeks burning, hand flying to my mouth like I could erase what I’d just done. He didn’t stir. Thank heavens!! But the damage was done. Heat pooled low in my belly, heavy and insistent. That single touch had awakened everything I’d bee
(Selena’s POV) I stood quietly at a corner, my eyes fixed on Lisa, a happy smile on my face. She looked… happy. Her smile wasn’t the kind of forced smile she used to wear, not the one she used to hide her pain… this one was real and alive. She deserves it. After everything she had been through… she truly deserves it. I let out a slow breath and leaned back, watching her as she stood beside Kelvin, looking shy and confused about everything happening so fast. “Finally…” I murmured to myself. I had already done my part… no, I mean her own part was done. Everything that needed to be handled had been handled. On her ex’s side, I made sure they would never come close to my sister again. They’ve felt the taste of freedom! But somehow… my eyes kept drifting to Dr Vincent. I kept glancing at him again and again, yet the man didn’t even look my way… not even a single glance. I scoffed and shook my head. “What a joke…” I whispered under my breath. Here I was… falling for an older man
For a moment, the room stayed quiet after my response. Then suddenly… Mr Donovan let out a laugh. Everyone turned to him in surprise. He shook his head slowly, looking at Kelvin with a teasing expression. “So this is it,” he said. “I’ve been wondering all this while how a book like that managed to enter your head.” Kelvin frowned. “What do you mean?” The old man chuckled again. “Now I understand… it wasn’t just a book.” He glanced at me briefly, then back at him. “It was a little kiss… and a little book.” My eyes widened instantly. What?! Heat rushed to my face so fast I almost stopped breathing. I quickly lowered my head, wishing the ground would just open and swallow me. Kelvin didn’t say anything, but I could feel the shift in the room. Even Dr Vincent laughed softly. Mrs Donovan, who had been serious all along, suddenly sighed and shook her head. “You’re really shameless,” she said, but there was no anger in her voice this time. Then she looked at me again, this time
I didn’t know how I ended up outside. The noise from inside felt far away now. I sat quietly on the long bench in the garden, staring at nothing. Then… I smiled bitterly. Of course. Why did I even think it would go well? “Hey…” I didn’t need to turn to know who it was. Selena sat beside me, her voice softer than usual. “How are you feeling?” I let out a small breath. “I’m used to it.” She frowned. “Used to it?” I nodded. “Things like this… never work out for me.” I looked down at my hands. “I already knew I couldn’t fit in. I’m just… forcing myself.” Selena didn’t speak. “I’m poor,” I continued quietly. “Unlucky in relationships… and now this.” I laughed softly. “It’s almost funny.” She sighed and leaned back. “You’re not funny.” “I know,” I muttered. For a moment, we both stayed quiet. I knew what was happening inside. They were probably scolding Kelvin. Maybe even blaming me, as I expected. I had already prepared myself for it. Not long after, a maid came toward us. “M
The next day. The Donovan mansion was even more lively that evening. Luxurious lights were everywhere. Soft music was playing, guests were walking around with glasses of wine, and laughter filled the extravagant hall. I stood beside Kelvin, trying my best to stay calm. He had told me he would tell his parents about us. “Relax,” he whispered. “You look like you’re about to run away… do you?” “I might,” I muttered. He chuckled softly. Before I could reply, I saw two familiar figures walking in. “Selena?” I called in surprise. She turned immediately and smiled. “Lisa!” Behind her… was Dr Vincent. I raised a brow instantly and walked closer to them. “Well…” I crossed my arms slightly, looking between both of them. “What’s going on here?” Selena sighed softly and glanced at him before looking back at me. I could already tell something was off. “So?” I asked again, lowering my voice. “How far?” She forced a smile… then shook her head. “Still nothing, and I haven’t seen him ever
My heart hasn't settled. Kelvin’s fingers had just wrecked me, and now he sat there looking far too calm, licking the last traces of me from his hand like it was the most normal thing in the world. The movie roared on — loud action sequences, dramatic music blasting from the speaker beside us. Mrs Donovan and her daughter were still leaning forward, whispering excitedly about the plot, totally lost in the film. They hadn’t turned around once. I thought that was the end of it. That he’d let me catch my breath. But I was wrong. Kelvin shifted in his seat, his hand still gripping my wrist. In the flickering light of the screen, I saw him quietly unzip his pants, freeing his thick, hard cock. It sprang up, heavy and ready, the tip already glistening. My eyes widened in pure panic. “Kelvin… no,” I whispered desperately, trying to pull my hand away. “They’re right there. We can’t—” He cut me off by pulling me closer, his voice low and commanding against my ear. “Come here, and ri
“Are you okay?” Her voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I forced a smile and nodded. “I’m good.” I wondered how she would react when she learned that I was infertile… “Because of your pure intention, I won’t fire you,” she smiled. I sighed in relief and bowed. “Thank you so much…” “Oh… no n
“Is there something you are hiding from me?” Sofia asked, looking worried. “There’s no way you’ll decide not to go teach today and you looked….” She paused and sighed.I couldn’t sleep. I almost kissed him. I finally made the move I’ve been forcing myself not to make. Because how am I supposed to f
I couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about his voice all along. Nothing really happened, I felt guilty for loving him, and for him to sound like that… he knew. That was why he threatened me. It took me forever to bathe and get dressed. I can’t believe I would be facing him anytime soon, thinking
Entering the Donovans’ luxurious mansion, I saw Mrs Donovan and two men in the main living room, chatting. One was wearing white while the second one was wearing black. I could tell from his features that the one in white was Kelvin’s father. The man sitting beside him… very good-looking. I chuckled
