I was too busy checking on Fabian and that bitch forgetting what is most important to watch. The unpredictable circumstances knock and it's inevitable to ignore and run away from them. My daughter's voice broke my trance."Mommy!" My daughter's joyful scream pierced the air as she ran towards me, her little legs propelling her forward with all the excitement."Yumi, don't run!" I scolded her, my voice tinged with concern as I watched her tiny form darting around with her oversized teddy bear in tow. The thought of Fabian's reaction to seeing her hurt filled me with dread, knowing how protective he was of our little girl. "Let's go to the mall! Let's go to the mall!" She keeps on repeating jumping on the bed excited as if someone promises her something to get thrilled and jubilant."But I had an important meeting today." I reason out. I need to see Fabian before it's too late. She slumped on the bed solitary staring at the bear. "You are always busy and daddy seldom stays at home." Sh
"This is your fault!" Candice roared as she stormed into our house, her voice echoing through the hallway. I ignored her, brushing past her with tears streaming down her face. She began throwing her belongings in the living room frustrated. "Craig, did you not hear me? This is your fucking fault!" She repeated, her voice rising as she followed me. I stopped in my tracks, turning to face her, my patience wearing thin under the weight of her relentless tantrums. The frustration in her eyes mirrored the tension in the air, and I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself before responding, aware that this confrontation was teetering on the edge of exploding into something neither of us could easily walk back from."What fault? Should I go to the registering office and beg them to remove you from our family registry or what!" I roared, my voice echoing through the room in response to her childish rants. The intensity of my words left her taken aback, speechless, as she stared at me with
"Fabian, this is not right!" Izzy cried, hastily pulling her scattered clothes closer to her on the couch. Fabian chuckled, reaching out to stop her, his eyes lingering on her half-naked form. "Why do you say so?" He smirked, his gaze appreciative as he took in her perfect curves. Izzy's attempt to cover herself seemed futile as he had already seen everything, and the memory of her beauty lingered vividly in his mind. "Fabian, you are married, and your wife will never stop taunting me," Izzy explained, her voice tinged with frustration. Suddenly, Fabian erupted into laughter, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he effortlessly removed all her clothes, revealing her perfect body. His desire ignited and began to ravish her, but his excitement was interrupted when he noticed the marks on her belly. Izzy had forgotten that she was hiding something crucial from Fabian, a secret that now threatened to unravel if she couldn't find a better excuse. "What happened to your stomach?" He asked,
"You know there is no place for you to hide, Denise, right?" Hiro uttered, his voice laced with mockery, even though he was not looking at her. His words hung heavy in the air, creating a palpable tension as Denise stood frozen, her mind racing for an escape that seemed increasingly elusive. The dimly lit room offered no solace, its shadows dancing menacingly around her. "So, this is the place you hide from me under Denise Hall's name but still I prefer Kate Fernandez. It's bold and daring!" He added. Denise just held her breath and clenching her fist couldn't retort his words. His words pierced through the air, her heart pounding with a mix of frustration and anxiety. The mention of Kate Fernandez shattered all her left hope. "Where is your tongue, my lady? Say something, I might misunderstand you, and it's dangerous, right!" Hiro added intimidating her. Despite his smile, his displeasure was palpable, simmering beneath the surface like a storm waiting to erupt. His demand for her
Holding myself back is incredibly difficult as she stirs something deep within me, but I have to maintain control. I'm neither a flesh eater nor a womanizer, yet I can't deny my attraction to her. She embodies the opposite of what I thought I wanted in a woman, and still, I find myself both intimidated and mesmerized by her. It may seem odd, but I can't resist the pull she has on me. "Craig, what a pleasant morning to get a call from you," my sister teased, her voice laced with a playful giggle. Did Iris tell her what happened? I doubt that! "What! Izzy, I just miss you. I was supposed to have breakfast with you the other day, but I can't disturb you," I retorted, turning the tables on her teasing. Silence hung in the air for a moment, a tangible pause filled with unspoken words and lingering emotions, before she finally squeaked, her voice breaking the tension in disbelief. "Craig!!!!" She screamed almost breaking my eardrum. "What is it my beautiful and smart sister?" I asked ch
Meeting Eloisa's brother made my world chaotic and I couldn't think properly distracted by him. His smiles were infectious losing my sanity. I knew Eloisa felt and saw how crazy intense and distracted I was in his presence but I can't, he's too far from someone like me. He deserves someone better than me but I can't resist his damn temptation. That kiss was intoxicating and invading my senses. I almost lost myself but was embarrassed to find out I gave in. He is a temptation hard to resist! "Should I say sorry?" When he asked I lost it and running away was the option left. I can't speak speechless embarrassed to face him and most of my boss. I'm a person who always jumps to conclusions better than being stuck and embarrassed when facing uncertainty. Coming back to our suite, I pretended I hadn't seen anything, even encountering his irresistible brother. My heart raced as I recalled his intense eyes and the way they seemed to draw me in, making it difficult to look away. I knew I
Izzy Pov... Breaking up with Jonathan wasn't my dream, but the least I could do to make myself worth it. Actually, I didn't want to break up with him, but accidentally learned I wasn't in his heart. The worse I am his number three. That's what a jerk he is. It is pathetic enough to stay in a relationship that isn't working on what you plan. I loved him, but loving someone isn't enough to survive in this chaotic world. It just pains me inside to know how I wasted 4 years of my life with him. Sipping my drink awkwardly before closing my eyes, feeling how miserable I am right now. My family also treated me as the second best, and then later I learned I was adopted. My life sucked since I was born. Yeah! I got a degree, but who cares if no one cares about you? I laughed amicably, pretending I wasn't pitiful breaking into pieces inside me. This world has a lot to throw into you, but I am already tired of trying to please anybody. I sighed deeply lowering my head and smiling like a foo
Izzy Pov...I just woke up incredibly delighted and calm. I thought my morning would be filled with hungover, dreaded, and extremely mad besides my broken heart and soul. I'm not unfortunate then to wake up with a smile on my face. I walk out of my room and go to my bathroom humming the song Girls on Fire by Alicia Keys and dancing with it.She's just a girl and she's on fire Hotter than a fantasy Lonely like a highway She's livin' in a world and it's on fire Filled with catastrophe But she knows she can fly away Broken people can still laugh at the end of the day. I will prove to Jonathan that I'm a person she will regret losing! I poured my heart, soul, and trust into our relationship but what I got was not what I was supposed to deserve.That guy I met last night was incredible. He healed me quickly with just his smiles, laughs, and humor. Sometimes I want to believe that Jonathan leaves for a good reason and that meeting Fabian has a purpose but it's too early to conclude. I
