Marking"AURORA, Joshua... She is Aurora..."Both Joshua and I turned to that voice. We both saw Damien, it was approaching where we both were standing."Oh, hi, Cousin... Good morning."My lips parted when I looked at Joshua. Did I hear, cousin? Are they two cousins? I also looked at Damien who was now looking at me."Good morning. It was your first day, right?" Damien asked Joshua.He smiled. "Yes, it's my first day at my new office and job. I know you're wondering why I'm here early today... oh, anyway, I am glad I was early because of what I did, the first jackpot I saw upon entering this company was the beautiful, Aurora."I was laughing at what I heard from him. "T-thanks," I don't know if I need to thank him for complimenting me."You know her?" you can see the frown on Damien's question for him."Yes, I know her. She is the one I told you about last time when there was a beautiful woman who rode in my car at the resort. Where your wedding was held."I get coughed as if I had ch
Dinner Invitation"EHEM!"I raised my head when someone knocked on the open door of my office."H-hi," it was Joshua Miranda who paid a visit."Can I come in, Mrs. Harrison?"I cleared my throat as if I was suddenly nervous about his visit. "C-come in."He came in and sat down, then looked around every corner of my office. "I wonder, why you are not joining his office. I mean, by Damien?"There it is and he starts asking questions.I put down the sign pen and sat upright facing him. "Because each of us needs privacy. We're already together at home, but also at the office?" I calmly answer his question. "So, what can I do for your visit, Joshua?""Nothing, I just want to talk and get to know my cousin's wife better," he said in a calmer voice.I frowned. "Do not you have a job?"He smiled. "There is. Tsk, you are the same as my cousin who is focused on work, who even during a coffee break is still immersed in work," he said shaking his head.I smiled. "Well, this is our nature.""That'
Disorder"JOSHUA," I called his attention when the waiter left with our order."Hm, yes, Aurora?" he face and looked at me."May I ask what is the purpose of this dinner? May I know?"He smiled and shook his head. "Actually, nothing.""Oh? I can't believe there isn't.""It's nothing. I promise,""Okay, nothing." I still wasn't convinced but I kept quiet, even though I wanted to force him to tell me."You really want to know?" he said to my silence.I raised my eyebrows. "Tell me then, what is it? So, I don't have to think about it."He smiled again. "I just want to tease my cousin,"I immediately frowned. "Reason?"He sighed. "Remember the night in the resort? Where we first met?""Oh, w-what's in there?" I stopped stuttering."Why did you come home alone without him? I mean, you're his wife, why did you leave him and why did he let you go home alone?" His question after question.I sighed. I didn't want to answer his question because I remained silent and kept my mouth shut."Hey, yo
Burst-OutI WOKE up to the sound of my alarm clock on the side table. With my eyes closed, I reached for it and turned it off. I yawned and opened my eyes a little. I was about to close my eyes again when I noticed a bulk sitting on the edge of my bed."D-Damien?""Good morning,""H-have you been there for a long time?" I asked him, covering my thigh that was exposed because the nightgown I was wearing had slipped."Actually, I am here since last night," he said.I frowned. "Last—""I'm sorry if I slept here beside you,"I swallowed when he said that he slept next to me, but I just ignored it. I sat down a little. I don't want to speak up and say it's a big lie because I know he was with Katherine all night."I waited for you to wake up last night when I got home," he sounds explaining."Oh?""I didn't wake you up because you were already deep in your sleep,"I raised my eyebrows. I moved and moved to the very edge of the bed to get down. "So, why are you here?""Aurora, what Katherin
Fought"CHEERS! CHEERS!" I raised my glass of wine, and my two friends Nancy and Cedy also raised their glasses and clinked with my glass."Cheers!""Cheers!"The three of us happily got together at Cedy's birthday which was held at a bar. He rented the whole bar, well he knew the owner so he easily asked him to celebrate his birthday there with his close friends and family who love bar hopping.The two of them invited me to go there, and one of the reasons why I agree is that I didn't want to go home and see Damien. We fought in his office because he blamed everything on me. It's a good thing that I already asked the investors not to withdraw the contract we discussed.I wanted to rush to his office earlier and return the contract he was angry about, but I stopped myself, instead of doing that I just handed it to Jina earlier before going home."Besh, it's good that you gave me time for my birthday," Cedy said happily after sipping the wine in his new goblet.I took a sip of wine bef
Longing [ Damien P.o.v ] I STARED at her gentle face that was fast asleep. I was shaking. She was talking a while ago, and then suddenly she was silently sleeping. I am not responding when she was talking, I want her to finish talking about what she wanted to say. I smile a bit. "You are really funny, huh? You just fell asleep in a second." I reached for her cheek. I was going to wake her up, but my eyes fell on her red lips. My hand went there and I caressed it very carefully. I feel I was hypnotized at that very moment. My face gradually came closer to hers. When I am near her face, I can smell the smell of alcohol that mixes with her perfume smell even on her breath. I feel the urge to kiss her lips, almost close but suddenly she moved. I also immediately got away from her. "Damn! What are you doing, Damien!?" She was still shut down at that time. I reached her cheek again and gently woke her up. "Aurora, wake up. Aurora..." I got no response. So I repeated calling her nam
Expecting"GOOD morning, sleeping beauty,"Both of my cheeks immediately turned red when I woke up that morning."G-good morning," I couldn't look directly at him. I tried to get out of his tight embrace."Hey, stay, please," he stopped me from getting up."D-Damien we still have work—""Can we stay like this for a day?""N-no—""Please," he showed his puppy eyes."Damien, we both have jobs. The company needs both of us," I still tried to get up but his arms were like stones that I couldn't break."It will still run without us. It's just one day that we won't go in, hm..." He flips my wavy hair."Not allowed-""Let's make the impossible possible. How about that?" he said then winked at me."Okay, if you don't want to go in, then I'll go in," I tried my best to get off his arms around me, but he was more determined to stop me."I said, no. We are both tired, Sweetheart. We deserve to rest."My whole face got hotter as his big body covered my body. We are both naked under the White blan
Invite for Dinner"GOOD morning, Sir. Good morning, Ma'am." Both Jina and our fellow employees greeted us in the hallway."Good morning," we greeted at the same time.We went with them in the elevator. Damien held my arms and we stood in the corner.I smile at him. I signaled to him to let go of my hand but he didn't obey. I tried to get off his hands, but it was like a rock that can't be broken."Damien," I called his name softly.He turned around smiling. I didn't expect his wink at me and his secret kiss on my hand."Damien," I didn't notice that I have called his name a little louder. "Um, pardon," I said as the employees with us turned in our direction.They nodded smiling at me. The rest of them caught a glimpse of our holding hands. Jina's smile is also different. Damien looked at me also smiling.When the elevator opened, Damien and I were the last to exit."So, nice working day, Mr. Harrison. I'm going to my office," I said as we both walked."Why not join me in my office and
