LOGINHis lips crept up to the back of my ear and his arms gradually tightened around me.
Even though the music was loud, my heart and breath were beating faster as if someone was chasing me. I moaned because of his soft lips that relentlessly kissed the sensitive part of my body. “M-Mister Suarez,” I muttered softly. He distanced himself from me. His arms that were wrapped around my body let go. He held my hand and immediately raised our hands to hold each other. He spins me around. I just closed my eyes while my heart calmed down due to the strength and speed of the heartbeat. My feet are getting lost in passing, they can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the instrumental music. My dancing skills suddenly disappeared. It's like my feet are both left. I regret letting out a low growl earlier. I think he is just playing with me or should I say, this man was teasing me. He was unreadable. Just like he wears a mask, his true personality is also hidden. Who are you, Mister Suarez? All people know about him is that he is the richest businessman in the country and even beyond. The beat of the music was about to end, but before the music stopped completely, he pulled me closer to him. I moved a little while his hand rested on my back. God, what did my parents do to me? If only I had known that everything would end up like this, I would not have gone to school. That's why they are strict with me because of their plan. Every move I make, food I eat and way of speaking are watched by my parents. Now, I understand why they are doing that. This is the reason. They want me to grow up beautiful, smart, sexy and nice because they will set my marriage for this man. “You're such a good dancer, Miss Wills.” He brought me to our table. And then he let go of my hand when I was already sitting. The slowness of time sucks. I want the time I spent together with Eldifonso to be over. Because I just feel so conscious when I'm with him. Admittedly, I like the way he kissed the side of my neck and the back of my ear. But it seems like he did that just to hang me and make me excited for him. I didn't wait more than an hour for him to give the signal that we were going to part ways tonight. It's brilliant though. “Miss Wills, I don't want you to be late tomorrow. I will send my men to fetch you and bring you to the venue of our meeting.” “W-What?” “You are beautiful. But a bit deaf,” he said mischievously. “I said that I will have my men pick you up tomorrow. Aren't we going to talk about our marriage? You forget so quickly,” he said. He looked into my eyes, before he looked at the door. He clapped twice. After his applause two men entered. The men stood next to our table. “Prepare the car for Miss Wills,” he said to the two. “Yes, master,” the two responded at the same time. His men feared him. Even if he orders them to do simple things, they always seem to be confused and afraid of making mistakes. “But I have a car. My driver is waiting outside,” I told him. “I do not agree that you will go home without my staff to take you.” I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. It's a good thing because he didn't seem to notice. “Our men are trustworthy,” I said. “I don't care about them. It's my duty to keep you safe until you are home. Look, it's almost midnight,” he persisted as he looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. He stood up and turned his back on me. I studied his features. But I ended up asking myself who he really was. And what is his personality behind his mask and being mysterious? His phone rang and he immediately answered it. “Alright, wait there and let Martin pick her up.” I quickly stood up then I lifted my gown a little so I wouldn't step on the end of it. When the door opened I saw the Martin he was referring to standing on the side. I was about to reach the door when he ran and caught my hand. My gown was piled on top of the tiles when I turned to him. His eyes locked on mine. What is this man's problem? Why did he stop me? “Y-Yes?” He pulled me closer to him. His eyes were talking to me, but I didn't know what he wanted to say. “Don't you think that you forgot something,” he said. Oh damn! I really don't know what he was trying to say. I can now smell the aroma of his breath, it smells like steak but it was still good and mesmerizing. He wet his lips from the bottom before the top. I think I get his words. Do I really have to do that before leaving him? Am I really going to kiss him? Should I? “Miss Wills, what now?” Alright, I'll do it. I also need to get used to kissing him. Maybe it's not bad that I kiss my future husband. I tiptoed, I asked for support from his arms soI clung tightly on them. When our faces were only a few inches away from each other, I closed my eyes. Suddenly I could feel how a magical song was played in my head. Because of the sensation caused by that kiss, my nail was buried in his skin even though there was a cloth between us. My knees shook as he pulled me closer to him until there was no more space between us. I can feel the heat of his body while we are kissing each other passionately. His soft lips were caressed on mine gently and it was giving me pleasure. I let go of heavy sighs in the middle of our kisses. I can't think straight now. My mind was stolen by the heavenly kiss we were sharing. I don't know if that was enough. But I pulled my own body before where this kissing will lead us to. Perhaps, it's not the right place to surrender my virginity. Definitely, it is not the right time for that. Even though he is my future husband, I still have to give control of everything. “Are we good now? I guess I don't have anything forgotten.” I chased my own breath. “Right, Mister Suarez?” I asked. His lips curved. He turned his body and got something from the table. My jaw dropped when I saw him holding my wallet. “This is what you forgot, Miss Wills.” I was dumbfounded. “Holy shit,” I murmured in a low voice before I took my wallet from him. “Don't be embarrassed, Miss Wills. I liked that kiss,” he said with a naughty voice. “I hate you,” I said, cursing his name inside my head. With embarrassment I felt, I turned my back and walked quickly. He could have said that I left my wallet. Why was there a need to be like that?! Wasn't it easy to say that I forgot my wallet on the table?!-Eli Madrigal-Her every step towards where I was standing, waiting for her, made me feel delighted. The white wedding gown her parents chose was perfectly fit for her. It was like a dream came true, marrying her again, but this time it was filled with compassion, love, and assurance. It wasn't like before; forced and loveless. My eyes blinked, letting go of the tears I was holding back to ruin my handsome face. Yes! I was here at the end of the red carpet showered with petals of Roses, having no mask to hide my face. When she arrived, I hugged her parents, thanking them for trusting me, and forgiving the sins I have made in the past. "We entrust our daughter to you, Eli. We hope that you will shower her with love and understanding." "May this moment be the start of our new life, forgetting the unpleasant past we had. And as Valerie's father, I would like to welcome you to my family, My son-in-law.""I can't thank you more for the chance you have given me to prove that I am no lon
I turned on the television with my finger that struggles to push the ON button of the remote. The first face I saw inside the television was Signor Eldifonso's. I swallowed, looking where Eli was. "There he is," I whispered when I saw him standing at the corner of the stage looking at Signor Eldifonso. "Lord, be good to us. I hope this will be the last battle of Eli against Signor Eldifonso. Make him win this time, God," I prayed. I felt a touch on my shaking knee, catching my attention. I looked at my Auntie who was smiling at me, telling me something through her simple action. "Auntie, is he able to do this smoothly?""I don't know how he will act his plan, Val. But for sure, he thinks wisely about this. Let us just hope for the better."I nodded, agreeing with her. The living room was surrounded with a cold atmosphere. The aircon blew cold air, freezing my numb hands. Although Auntie was telling me to be calm, I still couldn't afford to do such because I am so worried for Eli.
I can't take what happened out of my mind. I was in deep silence when knocked from the door caught my attention. I walked towards the door, opening it for someone who was behind. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing outside of the door. It was Eli, and he was carrying Foval in his arms, smiling the same as when he won the first prize in their school activity before. "W-What are you doing here?" I asked, looking at his face. "Mommy, Daddy is here! He said we won't be apart again! Yay! I'm the happiest man alive, Mommy!"My eyes were asking Eli. How on Earth did he visit here? Is he out of his mind? My auntie and his master were business rivals. What will Signor Eldifonso say if he knew that his subject was here? For certain, Eli would be in a difficult situation."E-Eli...""Daddy, look! Mommy is surprised! This is what I've told you! If she finds out that you came back, she will definitely be surprised!""I know, Son. And if you allow, I want to talk to your mother... just me
I have a new goal today. And this is to meet with one of Auntie's target investors. He is a famous businessman in the Philippines. Since his business is guns and bullets, I'm sure we'll get along right away. I know it's dangerous because Signor Eldifonso's secret and illegal business is bigger, but still, I have the power to defeat him and I'm the one who allocates Mister Tianco's investment. Mister Tianco and I talked about meeting at a restaurant in Texas. I didn't want him to wait long so I made sure to go to the restaurant early before he even arrived. Only the driver was with me. Auntie told me that I had to take my bodyguards with me, but I told her that I would be safe so she should not worry. "Ma'am, I think someone has been following us," said the driver while occasionally looking in the mirror outside the car. "What? Maybe we're going to the same destination. Let's not overthink, just drive faster.""Alright, Ma'am."The driver was quiet for a few minutes, but I noticed
-Valerie Wills-Opening my eyes, I turned to the other side of the bed. I saw a paper there with a letter on it. I tried to go up abruptly but I stopped and held my head. My head hurts so much. Because of that I tried to remember what happened before this morning. I just blushed out of annoyance when I remembered what happened yesterday. The last thing I remember is, I was in front of Eli and I suddenly passed out. After that I don't remember the next detail. Despite my dizziness and headache I still tried to go up. I reached for the scale and read it. "Val,I'm sorry if I brought you to this place. This is the only place where I know you are safe, we are safe here because I know that people like Signor Eldifonso do not go to this place. I'm sorry if you woke up without me by your side. I also thought that I might just arouse your anger towards me when you see me, realising you share the same room with me. Besides, I can't stay away from Signor Eldifonso for long. I want to let you
I'm nervous about what I'm doing. It's possible that someone will see me with Val now, possibly causing us both to perish. Because of this I sped up driving, while being careful. I went through the not so exposed ways. "Val?"Every now and then I looked back at her. She is still unconscious and must have fallen asleep because of the alcohol she drank. I remembered an inn that was only cheap. I went straight there and immediately parked the car in the hidden part of the parking lot. I carried her into the inn. When I was at the front desk, the staff raised her eyebrows at me. "For twelve hours, Ma'am.""Sir, your companion is unconscious. We can't accept you here. We don't know what happened to the woman you're carrying right now, and we don't know what kind of person you are. Maybe if something bad will happen to her, we'll be put under investigation. We don't want our business to suffer in case.""What are you talking about, Ma'am?! She's my wife, okay?!""That's not the case wit
