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
MY HANDS were shaking while typing a message to Rosario, but the man grabbed my phone quickly and threw it out the window with a lot of force.My mouth opened wide in shock. I blinked and spoke."What the heck?!" I spout out.But he didn't say anything to me. As he crossed the road in a direction I didn't know, he was looking straight ahead.For a moment, I kept looking at him. In a short time, he's gotten more handsome. His chiseled face looks almost perfect. And those goddamn lips...His sharp jaw movement swallowed me up. Then the cell phone was taken out of his pocket. When he got a call."How's Florisse doing?" he asked in a quieter voice."Okay, take care of her in the meantime. I'll call you later." He has ended the call and is now driving for real.As we approached the precinct, I hurriedly raised my back in the car chair."What are we doing here, exactly? My mouth stuttering agitated me.It was only at that moment that he turned his gaze toward me. As I stare into those dark,
HE SURPRISE me by taking me to his condo instead of just taking me out."Woah!" As I made my way around the house, my mouth started to water.I bent down to pet a figurine on the table and gave it a gentle kiss."I think this one is a little pricey!" I screamed."What are you doing? Stay away from my things!" I hear him growl at me.He's carrying a phone and appears to be dialing his ex-girlfriend."You're so cruel," I sniffed and sat on the sofa. Despite this, he was still quite attractive. Argo is, to be fair, an extremely attractive man."Who told you to sit there?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me."Fine!" I rose to my feet and began to make my way to the front door of the room."Where are you going to?"I turned to face him and crossed my arms over my chest.I'm going home! What am I even going to do here?!""Who directed you to leave? Remain where you are." He commands, and he turned his back on me.I exhaled deeply and leaned against the door that was closed. What plans does h
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? You gave her money just to fix the problem? How about the baby?""It is not my child. I know in my heart that this child isn't mine," he said it seriously.I eat the chocolate quietly while listening to their conversation."Come on, Argo. That's not a good enough reason!""This woman is a con artist. I'm not that stupid to believe I made her pregnant."My eyebrows raised. How did he possibly know that?"Then how about Florisse and everyone in the church, the media, and your company?!"Argo sighs. It seems like a mess is happening."I only care about, Florisse. How was she?""She's with Barbarra. You know that her dad, Uncle Francis, won't just let what happened at the church."Again, Argo let out a deep breath and shook his head several times."Ah, excuse me?" I showed my hand.They turned their attention to me. Argo looked so pissed and irritated while he was staring hard at me."Where is the restroom?""Damn it!" Argo seems to be filling up easily."Turn to your lef
WHERE ARE WE GOING?" I asked as I combed my hair with my finger.I was disgusted because I wasn't wearing a bra. My cleavage was exposed, and my nipple was scratched on my shirt.When his car came to a stop in front of a shopping mall, I raised my eyebrow."Are you serious? Do you seriously expect me to go there while wearing this?!"He shut off the engine and then turned his attention to me. He gave my chest a quick glance before setting his jaw firmly."Who told you it was okay to go out in public dressed like that?"My full attention was focused on him the entire time. I don't even know where to begin."Excuse me, but you're the one who makes me want to get in your car because I'm dressed like this!"He turned to face me again, and this time I yelled up my chest, raised my eyebrows, and grinned.I could see how hard his jaw was working and he tried to look away.My mouth curled into a naughty grin.One point, Natalia!He retrieved the draped long sleeve polo from the back seat and h
