Lights dimmed with a spotlight shining upon the couple. Maya felt a suffocating pressure tightening around her chest as he stepped closer to Eviana. The spotlight was on them. Cheerings ceased in favor of pin-drop silence as the spectators anticipated his next move. Heartache was almost crippling but she couldn't just look away. Her misty eyes followed him intently as he inched closer to another woman. Eviana didn't back away, in fact, she gazed at him expectantly. The woman radiated pure joy, her lips curved into an excited, inviting smile. He looked conflicted for a moment before he finally leaned in. Maya couldn't retrain her tears from spilling while Eviana closed her eyes in eager anticipation. He had just leaned in when his phone rang out suddenly, blaring through the silent hall. He recoiled instantly and dug into his pocket for his phone. Eviana opened her eyes to find him away. Disappointment marred her features."I've to take this," Dante murmured before marching off. Evia
"What is it?" she asked, confused as he slid the diamond ring onto her finger. "Promise ring," he replied, adjusting the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly. She arched her brow, mildly surprised. "I thought you were one of those people who find it cringy" she playfully taunted while inwardly swooning over him. His mouth twitched into a crooked smile in response.He met her eyes and spoke, "The only thing I find cringy is when people judge how others choose to express their emotions." Maya smiled, he had won her again with his thoughtful opinion."You are one of a kind," she uttered, eyeing him with pure adoration. He let out a light chuckle. "I hope the good kind," he remarked."The best kind," she responded with a cheeky smile. And her kind. "So what is it for? What are you promising me?" she asked curiously, focusing on the sparkling ring. The playful glimmer in his eyes turned into a sincere gaze. "I am promising you my loyalty," he started, making her glance up at him. "I
Maya caught the sound of his approaching footsteps and quickly wiped away her tears. She then turned on her heels to see him, wearing a fake smile that failed to reach her eyes. As soon as their eyes met, she looked away, afraid he might notice pain in her eyes. "Hi," she said. He stopped in front of her. She waited for him to say something, but he surprised her by drawing her into a tight hug. Exhaling a sigh against her skin, he snuggled deeper into the crook of her neck and pressed her closer. "What happened?" she asked, slightly concerned. "I can't do this. It doesn't feel right," he replied against her neck. She didn't respond. He then, drew back to look into her eyes. Her features softened."Just a few more days," she coaxed him softly. "Mom had brought Eviana's family to my office. I had to leave with them," he told her, sounding apologetic. She nodded but the ache in her heart still felt the same. Her eyes dropped to the floor. He lifted her chin. "We can go now," he s
Maya exited the doctor's room only to bump into Miguel. "What a pleasant surprise," Miguel commented, his eyes darting down to Viny in her arms. The little boy had just finished crying. Maya flashed him a polite smile. "Got him Vaccinated," Maya responded, still rocking Vinny out of habit. "Cute boy," Miguel raised a hand and playfully stroked his head. The boy kept staring at him as if trying to determine his intentions. "What are you doing here?" Maya asked. "Ohh. the doctor is a friend," Miguel replied, his attention drifted back to her. Maya nodded in understanding.A playful glint sparked in his eyes as he mused, "I feel like the universe is conspiring for us to meet over and over again. Don't you think so?" Nivi smiled. "I think the city we live in is quite small, and this is only our second meeting," she answered, earning a chuckle from him. "You are difficult. I like that," Miguel commended. Maya slightly shook her head. "I should go. He needs to eat something," Maya
After an intense physical workout with his girl, Dante rolled off her. Their bodies were covered in a sheen of sweat, testifying to the rigorous activity that partook in. If that wasn't enough, Maya still could feel his essence trickling out of her cunt, her insides buzzing with the aftereffect of her climax. After drinking half the glass of water, he gently tilted to her lips. He knew he had knackered her out and he wasn't guilty. He enjoyed taking her breath away and making her whole body blush. She drank the rest of the water, feeling completely spent. He adjusted the cover over that had slipped during their session and wrapped his arms around her waist. Drawing her to his chest, he placed a kiss on her nape. She shivered as tingles danced through her. Several moments as they silently enjoyed each other's company. His fingers drawing circles on her stomach. "Mom said Dad wants me to join his business," she broke the silence with the revelation. "And what do you want?" his gent
"Do I look professional?" Maya turned away from the mirror and asked him, a little nervous. Today was her first day at the job and she wanted to make a good impression. She was hired as her dad's assistant's assistant since she had no prior business experience. She had never worked except for one time when she interned for a fashion magazine. She had a fallout with her father over something and she wanted to show him that she could make money too. She was fired just a week later for her unprofessional behavior. He intently scrutinized her from head to toe, his slow gaze only adding to her nervousness. She was quick to understand his game."Stop," she grasped the cushion from the chair and tossed it at him. He was making her nervous on purpose. He grabbed the cushion before it could hit her face and chuckled. "Be serious now. Tell me how I look?" she asked again, slowly spinning for him.He advanced towards her, saying, "Magnificent, Stunning, Exquisite, beautiful, gorgeous, lov
"Finish it up quickly. The finance department is holding a meeting at 6. I want you to attend that and make notes," Mr. Steveson, her boss, and her father's assistant, instructed coldly. "Sure," Maya replied politely, ignoring his rude tone. She already knew where his hostility towards her had stemmed from. In her teen years, she had given him a lot of hard times with her playful pranks which were not very playful to him. She had never made meeting notes before so she decided to ask Mr. Steveson about it. But he responded with barbed taunts. "I am not surprised. Of course, you don't know how to write notes.." Mr. Steveson taunted, Maya lowered her gaze feeling ashamed now. "Anyway, I don't have time to teach you something as basic as this. Even an intern knows how to do it. Find one and learn from them," Mr. Steveson added dryly. Maya fought the tears that threatened to blur her vision and marched out of his room, feeling less confident now. "Do you know how to make notes?" she as
"Sir wants you to assist our new business partner from now on. Your foremost duty will be to cater to his needs and demands," Mr. Steveson informed her. "We don't want to hear any complaints. This person is very important to us. Am I clear?" Mr. Steveson added, meeting her eyes firmly. His intent gaze made it clear that he meant his every word. "I understand," Maya responded quietly. She was prepared to take on this new challenge as well.She was taken to the board room where her new boss was in a meeting with her father. Mr. Steveson opened the door. A chilly gust of AC greeted her as soon as she stepped into the room. There was no one inside except for her father and another man whose face was turned away. They were seated at the other end of the huge desk.She greeted Mr. Diaz with a beaming smile, momentarily forgetting that she was just his employee, not his daughter in the moment. Mr. Diaz's eyes softened for a brief second before he resumed his solemn demeanor. His gaze quic
