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
PromiseI WATCH Damien as he sleeps soundly next to me. It was a week ago when he regularly slept next to me.We have no serious talk about ourselves. No one talks or questions what our marriage is going to do next. Yes, we are a married couple, and yes our marriage is valid and there is nothing wrong if something happens between the two of us... but, we had an agreement before our wedding. And about Katherine...Katherine is the one who haunted my quilt. I feel guilty because she is Damien's girlfriend. Yes, I'm a wife. Damien is my husband and we are legal on paper but the man I'm with doesn't love me.I sighed while still watching him sleeping.'What is happening to us now, Damien? You never open a topic about, Katherine... What am I to you now? A wife who you need to warm your bed every time you need? Oh, God, please give me a sign what should I do now? Who will be the first to act or speak to the two of us? Please, help me...' I mumbled in my confused mind.I got up carefully so
Lyrics"Darling, eat a lot. Damien, are you feeding your wife well?" Damien and I both looked at his mother. "Look at her, she was so thin. I observed that her body wasn't like that before you two were married," it was his mom."Dear, are you stressed?" asked my mother. "I also noticed that you seem to be losing weight now," my mom second demotion."My weight is still the same. Maybe I'm just tired from work. But do not worry, I'm not skipping meals," was my answer to the two concerned mothers."Or maybe it's because you tired your wife from work, son." his father also join the topic.He shook his head and put down his cutlery. "See, sweetheart, I told you that they will notice your weight loss. Guys, maybe she was busy at work because she is always at work. I always tell her to take a rest but she was so stubborn to refuse it.""My dear," Mommy Hellen reached for my hand and she even caressed it. "Please take some rest, obey your husband.""But mom, I'm okay—""How about you stop wor

The island has earned nothing but praise from visitors, and numerous accolades for being one of the best island and beach destinations in the world."WOW..." I was amazed at the beauty of El Nido Palawan. "It has gotten even better now, as I remember the last time I visited this place, the development in this tourist destination was not that good. But now, wow..."I feasted my eyes on the high towering limestone cliffs that beautifully describe the entire surroundings. It is truly a healthy fresh nature that you might like the most."Come on, let's make some memories."I turned to Damien, "Memories?""Yeah, a picture."I smiled when he pulled me to his side. He took out his cell phone and took a picture of the two of us. I was also persuaded by our coll
