Masuk“You’ve been acting so odd since yesterday,” Zaria told Cronous while they were in a car and he chuckled. He held her hand and kissed it gently before pulling into the parking lot of the restaurant he was taking her to dinner with. Zaria wore a blue mini-dress and heels while Cronous wore a white polo and blue pants. They were sitting outside where they could enjoy the view of the city. “Thank you for accepting my date invitation,” he said with a smile. “Of course… I heard from your secretary you were planning this for quite a while,” she answered and his smile dropped. “Some day I will get rid of him,” he joked and she slapped his hand. The only reason she found out was because Luca blurted it out earlier while fixing Cronous’ schedule. His phone buzzed and she saw that his wallpaper was them kissing in the rain from the photo that circulated online. “Why do you have that as your wallpaper?” she asked suspiciously while eyeing it. He looked at her and showed her the full screen.
The lights inside the mansion were dim and there was a silence that was deafening. Cronous and Luca arrived in a haste. Everyone watched as he walked out of the event, and Luca’s phone was buzzing with calls and emails because of his boss’ sudden disappearance. Troubled, he was left in the living room of the mansion. “Please rest assured Mr. Fauler will not be pulling out his sponsorships. There was merely a… personal matter he needed to tend to,” he said over the phone. He sat on the couch and started working on the emails that were already overdue. “Mr. Fauler has his boundaries that is the reason why he pushed that woman away,” he explained on another call, concerned for the altercation that happened. Fearing people might twist it the wrong way, he immediately started addressing the issue. On the other side of the mansion, Cronous entered Zaria’s room and saw her sleeping on the bed. He let out a long sigh of relief as the muscles of his body softened upon seeing her resting wel
“What an outfit.” A blonde woman walked up to him in her sultry open back dress, flipping her hair back as she waved at Cronous. Her eyes like a hungry animal ready to pounce. Her eyes scanned him from head to toe.“Good evening, Mr. Fauler. It's nice to see you again here,” she said with a smile and he furrowed his brows. She walked closer and smiled widely.“Zaria Akurst?” she asked and his body stiffened. He looked at her with such foul disgust.“I saw the two of you grocery shopping before, remember? I'm her friend after all…” Cronous briefly remembered the time before Zaria came running to his mansion. He met a blonde woman but he did not pay much attention.“I thought you're an assistant,” he said, changing the topic, and her eyes lit up.“So you DO remember my visit to your home?” Her voice was loud enough for everyone around them to hear. Cronous c
The gala event where wealthy sponsors and investors were gathering, Cronous Fauler was not one to entertain guests yet he needed to be there. His face slightly frowned, his gaze irritated by the sight of the clothes he was wearing. A blue suit that perfectly disgusts him. “What kind of bullshit event bans black clothing?” he said with disdain.Sebastian, who was standing behind him, chuckled lightly. “You will be late for the event, people are already waiting,” he recalled and Cronous rolled his eyes.He scanned his face, checking if all the bruises were gone. “Do you think Zaria would grow tired of this face?” he suddenly asked while eyeing his striking features. Sebastian looked at him with his mouth agape but cleared his throat.
The night after the picnic, she thought everything was going normal. The night sky, and the cold breeze were the same as every other day yet she couldn't help but be anxious. An unknown number suddenly called her phone yet no one on the other line talked. Strange, she was sitting on her bed side with only the night-light illuminating the room.“God my throat hurts,” she murmured, her cheeks red from remembering the picnic. She slapped her cheeks and shook her head.His massive member was just too much for her to recover so easily. “How vulgar of us. Doing it in the garden, really?!” She screamed into her pillow while flailing her legs.The sudden buzz of her phone made her flinch. She opened it out of curiosity and saw an unknown number calling her. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she stared at the unfamiliar number. She listened to the constant ringing of her phone before finally answering the numbe
The scent of roses filled the air as the breeze brushed against Zaria’s skin. She looked around in the garden, butterflies flying around and landing on the thorn-filled bed of roses. Her floor length white dress dragged on the green field, slightly shining from the sunshine. In a far distance, she can see Cronous setting up a blanket. “A picnic, huh?” she said, eyeing him curiously. He turned his head to her and smirked. He fixed the position of the blanket on the grass and placed the baskets of food on the side. He sat down on the soft fabric before tapping the spot next to him. “Come,” he said simply and she nodded her head. After sitting down, the garden roses are now on her eye level like a towering wall. Every inch and corner looked to be planned and cared for. “I didn’t think you’d be into planting roses,” she simply remarked as he took out the food he prepared. “You said you liked them. Back then…” he trailed off. Zaria glanced at him who paused on what he was doing but comp
(Flashback)“Baby…” Zaria whispered lovingly as she kissed Cronous’ cheeks. He looked at her doe eyes shining brightly under the sunlight.
Hours after the hottest news spread about the adultress who’s playing two wealthy men spread, the articles slowly disappeared like nothing happened. While scrolling on his phone, Cronous saw Zaria walk into the living room, still half-asleep. He couldn’
ZARIA who woke up from her sleep saw Cronous walking out of the mansion from her window. She watched as his pace picked up while heading to the direction of the entrance. An ominous feeling crept in and her heart pounded loudly. When he was out of sight, she couldn’t help but worry. She looked up
CYLDE splashed his face with cold water while looking at his ruined face marked with bruises and cuts from his struggle with Cronous. His back bruised up from hitting the chairs and floor, but his ego was hit even harder. “Who does he think he is?” He went back to his living room and sat down on th
