BungalowWhile staring at him, I inhaled glassy air. I would have gone back to the water to hide if I could.Even though the wind is blowing hard on my skin, I can still feel his warmth inside me.He came to a halt a short distance away from me. His hand is now sliding into his pants pocket as he fixed me with an unwavering stare."Did I tell you not to leave your room? Why are you taking a bath here?" His voice was deep and disgusted."Because the sea is beautiful, fascinating..." I softly smiled at him, trying to calm the rumbling in my stomach."Did I tell you not to leave your room? Why are you taking a bath here?" he asked, his voice deep and disgusted."Because the sea is beautiful, fascinating..." I softly smiled at him, trying to calm the rumbling in my stomach.Even though it was dark, I knew he noticed my smile. He quickly averted his gaze and clenched his jaws several times.I forcefully bite my tongue. I wish I could explain his eyes and how the sound of his voice fills my
Nightmare"Enough! Don't hurt my mother!"I sobbed loudly as I clutched the hem of my mother Ruth's dress. Uncle Oscar is drunk again, and he began arguing with Mother."Hey, you kid, don't get involved if you don't want me to replace you with your useless mother!"I looked at him, still clutching the hem of his gown. We had just returned from the bakery when we ran into the drunk uncle.He must have lost the cockfight again, as he became inebriated and irritable. Mother is the one he always hurts, but I am always to blame because of my interference."Do you really want to give up?"Uncle grabbed my arm, so I let go of Mother. I cast a quick glance at him, who was quietly adjusting his unkempt hair and clothes. I know she's exhausted from the day's work, so she doesn't have the energy to argue with uncle and wean us.When Mother turned away from us and entered their room, I bit my lower lip tightly. I don't want to hold a grudge, but I believe I did the right thing for my uncle by let
BeachWhen I awoke, the sun was nearly still. I rushed out of my room, my eyes bleary."Morning!"I heard Apollo, who was carrying a large watermelon, greet me. I also noticed Aling Mareng, who was busy putting food on the table."Uh, morning..." I stammered."Good to see you up; come on in for breakfast," Manang said.I looked around for Argo and turned quickly to the bathroom where he had come from, wiping his wet hair with a towel. My attention was drawn to her bare chest.As I stared at his gorgeously hot body, my heart rate increased and my cheeks turned red. The water dripping into his body made my knees weak."Hmm, your mouth drools,"When Manang whispered after passing me, I blinked and looked away. I began by clearing my throat and averting my gaze completely. When I met him in the bathroom, I walked and bowed.As I passed him, my nostrils complimented his scented body, I sighed. Before entering the bathroom, I closed my eyes briefly.Sticky crap. After what happened last nig
L'amoureWe boarded a small boat and proceeded to the yacht one by one. I'm still not myself as a result of what I heard earlier. I have no idea why I decided to go island hopping.Argo's mommy is probably waiting for me for lunch. When I get home, I'm going to go straight to the mansion.I walked carefully to the other side, holding on to the railings. I've only ever been on such a lovely yacht. It's only in movies and on the internet that I've seen it.Almost the entire yacht is white, as is customary. It has a large front space as well as a large lounging area inside. I'm sure there are rooms upstairs, the last of which is the control room.I simply chose to stay at the end, overlooking the clear water below. We're also getting further away from the shore and have no idea where to go."Do you like the view?"I cast a glance at Paul, who was standing next to me. He bowed to the railings and turned to face me after putting both arms there."I can't see anything but water, but this pl
DinnerI swallowed my throbbing heart and looked him in the eyes. The emotion in his eyes sang to my heart.This can't be a dream, I thought as I blinked. He really kissed me? I quickly pressed my lips together and drew back."We can swim now," he said as he led me to the water and dove in.I was stunned for a few seconds before being jolted awake by the splash of cold water on my face."That face is so ironic!" he chuckled.I saw his hidden teeth emerge, which appeared elusive in my eyes. My lips then began to form a soft smile. My heart skipped a beat, and warmth poured down my cheeks."Ahh!"I hit the water hard to wet him. I didn't stop until I was close to him. Until he grabbed my hips and yanked me into the deep water.I had to claw my hands over his shoulder because my feet couldn't feel the ground. I had no choice but to hold on to him because it was obvious that he intended to go deeper."What are you doing..." I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes in frustration, but I was s
Throbbing heart"Are you insane?"Florisse couldn't stop talking. She also rose from her seat."Take back what you said, son; I didn't raise you to marry a woman with no manners!" His father yells. He even smacked the table, which made a loud noise."Argo, you're kidding, right?" Florisse laughed.But I missed Argo's response. His gaze is fixed on me and what I may say about his confession.But I quickly averted my gaze from him and rose to my feet. I guess I can't take what's going on. I broke Florisse and Argo's relationship the second time.Yes, I'll admit that this is what I really wanted to happen at first: to seduce Argo and make him mine forever. This is also one of my methods for avoiding my problem with the lie I told. But I didn't think I'd gotten to the point where my lie to Argo had peaked.I shook my head and was about to open my mouth to speak when her mother grabbed my wrist and pulled me back."Return to your seat, hija," she said firmly.I can also feel the tightness
Punishment When my feet came to a halt in front of the closed door, I hesitated. My back stiffened as I stood frozen on my feet. My grip on the glass of milk became even tighter. I took one more deep breath before opening the door. My gaze was drawn to his oak table right away. He was leaning on his swivel chair, the wine he had been carrying in front of him. He looked up, his hard eyes transfixed in an evil stare. I swallowed hard, feeling as if he was flaying me alive while staring at me. "Please take a seat," he said to the single chair in front of his table. I nodded slightly and followed what he said. I took a sip of milk from the glass before setting it on the table. "What are we going to talk about?" I couldn't stop myself from asking. I stared at him blankly, nervousness coursing through my veins. "I'd like to plan our wedding as soon as possible," he said quietly. I was stunned. My breathing became labored as my body froze. I assumed he was joking earlier, but I didn't think
I TOOK a big steps as I entered the church yard. From here I heard the Priest's sermon.My heart beat even faster when my feet stepped inside. I swallowed and briefly visited the crowd that attended the gathering this afternoon.Based on the posture of the church, this wedding was actually spent and prepared. I also pay attention to the media covering the wedding."Tss, good timing." I smiled devilishly.I straightened my wavy hair and pulled down the dress I was wearing. You can do it, Natalia! This mission is for your future. And for your dream to go to Hongkong.My attention focused on the couple getting married. I arch an brows while scanning the whole body of the groom."Hmm, to be fair, he has big shoulders and a broad back; what more might he be if I could view his entire body?"I pulled the man's picture out of my sling bag and turned my attention back to the groom. His shoulder width didn't exactly match the one he wore in the photo, but that didn't matter because I was alread
