"It's like an acid inside you. It slowly eats the good and the positive, replacing it with negativity and infects everything. It's a sickening feeling. Hate it."
"Love, wake up."
Genevieve awoke to a hand shaking her shoulder lightly. Slowly opening her eyes, she rubbed her drowsy eyes and looked over at the person who woke her up from her slumber.
It was Alvaro. And it looks like they reached their destination.
She hummed while one of her hands was still by her eye, nodding that she was awake and ready. Looking out the van, she saw plenty of people outside the parking space by a sign that said, "Dominguez Hotels".

"He loves her most when she smiles and laugh. When she talks about her passion and her thoughts. That's when her eyes light up, as if there were no other people in the world but them. And when he looks at her the same way, that's when she loves him most."Genevieve shifted in her seat, observing the people around her. Alvaro and her took a seat by a table minutes ago, and Astrid was with them. Still.The ceremony was finished. It went with an MC up in the stage, introducing and welcoming people who were coming inside the room. And then the part where she introduced the man responsible for all this came.The woman called Alvaro to the stage, interrupting the busy conversation of Ast

"I can't promise to fix all your problems, but I promise you won't face them alone. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how much we argue, I will never leave you.I love you too much."It all felt like an impossible dream.Here she was, by the window seat of a private plane, with her husband by her side, on the way to Spain.Spain.Her Mama's hometown. Her husband’s childhood home. The place of her dreams.Genevieve already secretly pinched herself earlier, well not really secretly since Alvaro saw her and chuckled, so she knew it wasn't a dream.

"I look at you and I see the rest of my life in front of my eyes."Genevieve looked around at the spacious villa as she gazed at the beautiful horizon. After about eight hours of flight, they finally arrived.Alvaro encouraged her to catch some sleep by the third hour in the plane, but she couldn't since she was so excited. It was Alvaro who closed his eyes and drifted into sleep while holding her in his arms.Aside from the excitement, Genevieve also couldn't sleep because of Alvaro's arms around her. She felt so giddy and shy at the same time. She could only catch minutes of sleep but would wake up right away.She stayed in

I look and stare so deep in your eyesCall your name two, three times in a rowGot me looking so crazy right nowYour loves got me looking so crazy right nowAlvaro's kisses were so deep that Genevieve found it hard to breath. He was devouring his lips like he was dying of hunger.She felt her lips swelling with his rough kisses. She'd push his shoulders away for a second, just to breath, but then she'd find herself pulling him in once again. His kisses were rough and steals her breath away, but she wasn't complaining.She loved it."Alvaro..." she murmured as Alvaro proceeded to kiss her cheeks and her jaw. His lips traveled all over, tracing gentle pecks on her skin. His lips were so hot and at made Genevieve's cheeks redden.She was sweating a bit. She wasn't sure if it was from the heat in the balcony or from Alvaro's hold and

"Your arms around me is all that I need to face anything that life throws at me.""Feeling okay?" Alvaro asked, his arms wrapped around his wife's waist, as they gazed along the beautiful blue horizon. They were on the yacht that he rented, a new one. He didn't want Evie to know, but he cut all ties with Astrid, except for the hotels and other businesses that they were partnered in.Respectfully, he told her that he wouldn't be needing a yacht anymore. Which is a lie. He figured that it would be better rather than Evie stepping foot on a yacht owned by Astrid. He didn't want to disrespect her feelings. He wanted to be considerate of his wife."I'm okay." Genevieve hummed as she leaned back, appreciating his warmth as a cold breeze caressed their skin.It was already Saturday, and they go back home tomorrow. In the five days that they spent in Spain; every moment was like a wonderful dream.They spent almost e

"Envy is a gun with a faulty breech-lock which flares back and burns the gunner."As their happy week ended, or their honeymoon as Genevieve liked to call it, they were back at home. She was currently chatting with Lucy and her Mama Emilia at their living room, having finished distributing their gifts to their friends.Laughter and different chatters were heard all over the place. The previously quiet and calm home was now loud and full of energy. The workers who worked for the quiet man was now smiling at him and his wife, talking about their vacation and all of the sights they visited.The place was warm and as Alvaro wandered his eyes around, his gaze finally settled on his wife

"Maybe home is nothing but two arms holding you tight when you're at your worst.""But do you think she has some ulterior motive, or anything?" Lucy asked as Genevieve gazed at her. They were under the shade of a tree in the barn, watching the animals moo and neigh at each other, seemingly playing.They were talking about Evie and Alvaro, as usual, but also the things that Evie observed whenever she was with Alvaro in the company building.Particularly Astrid.Evie was weirded out by the continuous stares and gazes from her. It's been weeks since it started. It wasn't a bad stare, not an angry glare either, but somethin

"The first step to receiving an answer is being brave enough to ask a question."'What is happening?'Evie asked herself. Her fingers tapping against the table, creating noise amongst the utensils. She could feel her legs shaking, her knees bouncing up and down, almost hitting the bottom of the table.There was an air conditioner somewhere in this four-walled, expensive looking room. But somehow, Genevieve could still feel cold sweat embracing her body.She was a nervous wreck, while the person she was with was calm and collected.Seated across her was none other than Astrid Castillo, with her shiny red li
