When I finally decided to open the door and come inside, I found him at the living room, sitting on the sofa. He was watching something from the television up until he noticed my presence and turned to look at me with the same cold eyes.“Faster, bitch. Don’t act like some VIP,” he coldly said.My eyes blinked in disbelief. That’s it? There were no slapping nor kicks or punches? How come?Instead of acting like some frozen chunks in front of him, I walked up towards my room and did what he wants. I chose a simple black off-shouldered long sleeve dress from my closet and stared at how it looked like. It was a little over my knees yet it fitted me nicely. I just needed to look presentable from the whole gathering so I didn’t need to put a lot of effort into it. Applying a small amount of powder and lipstick, I quickly went my way downstairs in fear that he may run out of patience.After ten minutes of preparation, when he saw me from the last step of the staircase, he stood up from his
I woke up at noon the next day. I was in such a hurry when Andrei called me to pick up the child and his mother -in -law because my friend Cassandra was shot. My mind was unstable while driving. I could not believe that consecutive incidents have happened to my friends. I could not help but be afraid to think that I was next. I just held my breath and forced myself to calm down. This is really the hard part in my mind, I can’t help but control to exacerbate the scenarios in my brain.Chill, Azaia. Bjorn doesn't have an ex who is supposed to take a revenge on you.When I have finally reached the place, I quickly took Adrian and auntie to Ayesha's house to rest there for a while. After that, Ayesha and I went to the hospital to check on Cassandra's condition. Somehow I was able to breathe easily when I found out that she was not in critical condition. Yet my concern was still there because she was still unconscious until we left the hospital.I was already in a taxi and on my way home w
After saving some energy we visited Cassandra again. Wearing my long sleeve top and below the knee skirt I went to the hospital. We were relieved that Cassandra was already talking and joking with us.We talked about the events we had when we were in America. How unbeknownst to her that his husband was watching over them all along.We shared some jokes and mocks then decided to leave after some time. I was a little bit surprised because the guys' one friend wasn't there. I just shrugged that thought.Why am I looking for that mad man?I hailed a taxi and drove home. Like the usual, I met my husband and ex best friend's moans when I entered the house.Seriously aren’t they tired?Instead of focusing on what they were doing, I just prepared my food. I was currently eating when Safey came down the stairs. Smirk plastered on her face as she tied her robe. It was obviously conveyed to me that my husband and her had just finished.Tsk! I don't care anymore. It would be better for Bjorn to f
I woke up to the familiar smell of the surroundings. Even though I didn't open my eyes, I knew I was in the hospital because it was the place where I used to work.I slowly opened my eyes and then looked around. My lips parted as I caught sight of a man sitting in front of me, on the side of my bed. He's leanning on his seat and crosses its arms.How is he able to take a nap in such a position?I tried to wake up, but I was overwhelmed by the pain in my body. I regretted the move I made because the man next to me woke up."Hey, " he whispered, then stood up and helped me get up.He propped me up on the headboard of the bed and put a pillow behind me.He quickly took a water from the side of the table and then opened it before handing it to me."Thank you, " I said sparingly in a dry voice.He didn't say a word and just watched me drink. I looked away because little by little I was consumed with shame."You wanna eat something?" he asked. I could feel the concern in his tone.I looked
It's been three days since I got back. I also felt quite well and gradually the burdens I had received from the beating faded away.For three days I did not show up to my friends. I just let them know that I had a flu.I stayed confined to my room and only came out when I felt like there was no one else besides me.Somehow it also helped that Bjorn or Safey hadn’t bothered me these past few days which surprised me. I want to laugh even more when I think that Bjorn feels guilty for what he did to me.phone beepsMy meditation stopped when my phone rang. I slowly got up from lying down and picked it up on the side of my desk before reading the incoming message.XenoahHow are you? Why are you not texting back? Are you avoiding me?I sparingly smiled at his message before closing the thread of his texts and laying my cell phone back on the table.Ever since I came back, he has purely texted me and none of it I have replied. My life is too chaotic if I involve him too.I don't know how de
"Have you gone mad?" I spoke angrily to him.He nodded and took his cat from me."I should do something with that dirty mouth of your," he stated.I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. I forcefully averted my eyes from her naked body."That should really be cleaned..." he whispered while stroking his kitten."Meow," the cat seemed to agree with what he said."Who doesn't get their mouths dirty when you're the one in front of them? I'm a nurse for pregnant women, Xenoah. Taking care of children is really an exception because I can do that. But this, the eff! I.AM.NOT.A.FVCKIN.VETERINARIAN!" I emphasized."But she's a baby! Our baby!" he quickly fired back that made my jaw dropped."Tell me, does your brain is not functioning well?" I'm pissed at this question."Damn it! I also don't know why I'm doing this shit. Can't you just take care of her? It's easier to take care of her than a child, right? Besides you'll benefit for this," he stated.I just closed my eyes tightly and tried to ca
Who would have thought that a nurse like me would be caring a kitten?I lazily leaned myself on the sofa while watching a television show. Serefina was on the top of my thigh and sleeping soundly.I just smiled and gently stroked her."Baby, let's eat!" Xenoah yelled in the kitchen.It's already lunch time.Automatically, I rolled my eyes. It's been a week since I accepted his job offer and it's been a week since I saw his face from morning to afternoon.It's also surprising that Manong Ramir seems to have been lost for a week following me. Well, I think my luck has been starting.I carefully removed and laid the kitten on the sofa before I got up and headed to the kitchen.True to his words, he serves me instead of me serving him. He cooks the food and often cleans the house whenever I come in the morning.He greeted me with a smile and pushed me into a chair before heading to his seat.I glared at him before sitting down on the chair he was swinging.Acting like a gentleman."You do
I knocked before gently opening the door of his room.I stopped stepping in when I heard his voice."Send me the files and appoint a dinner meeting with Mr.Verages," he said seriously in front of his laptop.So at night he's having meetings? Isn't that a hassle?Slowly, I let myself in.His eyes met mine as soon as I entered."Copy sir," I heard the response of the person he was talking to.His secretary maybe.I winced when I realized it was a woman.What about now?He nodded without a word and then folded the laptop without taking his eyes off me."Ahmm, I'm going home," I hesitated to say goodbye because I still remember the mistreatment he did to my mouth earlier."I'll give you a ride," he said seriously then quickly took the key from the side of his desk and stood up.“That’s crazy,” unconsciously, I uttered."What? Don't you know there are a lot of kidnappers today?" He shrugged and then walked closer to my place."Do you want my husband to kill me?" I was annoyed.The expressi
