INICIAR SESIÓNThe next morning… I woke up with swollen eyes.
After splashing cold water on my face several times, I managed to make myself look… somewhat presentable. Hopefully. No one would notice. The kitchen was already bustling when I arrived. I immediately tied my apron and began helping. I was starting to feel better… Until I accidentally glanced toward the dining room. My entire body froze. Days have passed and I haven’t seen Azrael much lately. He also stopped picking me up after school. So I took it as a hint that he wanted to stop our secret relationship. Elizabeth had gone to buy groceries, leaving me alone to finish the remaining household chores. She said that Mia, the maid who took a long vacation, will be returning in a few days. It would be nice to have one additional person to talk to in this huge place. I busied myself in the kitchen, preparing dinner while wiping down the marble countertops every few minutes out of habit. Anything to stop myself from thinking. After placing the soup on low heat, I grabbed the basket of freshly folded towels and headed upstairs. I had barely taken three steps down the hallway when— [Crash!] A loud noise echoed from somewhere ahead. I froze. “What was that?”
The mall was unusually crowded after class. Being one of the largest shopping centers in the city, it wasn’t surprising to see families strolling around, couples carrying shopping bags, and children running excitedly from one store to another. I adjusted the strap of the tote bag hanging over my shoulder as I followed Neil and Katie through the busy hallway. They were my friends from the organization I joined that were particularly for scholars. “So…” Neil glanced at the list in his hand. “We’ve already bought the colored papers, folders, ribbons, markers, and paint.” Katie frowned. “We’re still missing the decorative lights.” “Oh, right.” Our scholarship organization had been assigned to prepare a booth for the university’s upcoming charity event. Since our budget was limited, everyone had pitched in a small amount of money to
A dull throbbing pounded inside my head. I frowned, shifting slightly beneath the soft blanket draped over me. Everything felt warm and comfy. Wait… wasn’t I just at a party? Do they have beds and soft sheets there? Slowly, I opened my eyes. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. My brows knitted together as I pushed myself up, only for another wave of dizziness to hit me. “Where am I?” I looked around the spacious bedroom. Dark wooden furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows hidden behind heavy curtains. A bookshelf. As I scanned the whole room, fragments of last night slowly flashed through my mind like a movie. The party. Rafael offering me a drink. And… Oh no… Azrael was there, and he looked… angry. My heart fell and I immediately threw the blanket aside and climbed ou
The days that followed became strange. Ever since what happened between us at the restaurant, it was as though Azrael had quietly woven himself into every corner of my life. Every single day his car would already be waiting outside the university gates by the time my classes ended. “Get in.” He said, opening the door for me. At first, I protested, but there was no winning against him. He threatened to carry and throw me inside if I resisted, and not that I believed him, but… I can’t take the risk. Who knows what goes in that head of his. “What if someone from school sees us?” “They won’t.” “And if they do?” “Then they’ll think you hit the jackpot for landing a handsome driver.” He smirked. “Is this how you talked to girls when you were in college?” I asked, chuckling. He was
“Nghh…Ahhh…” I moaned as his lips found its way to my neck. “Sir… Ughhh!!” “Shhh…” he covered my mouth with his hands, smirking. “Do you want others to know what we are doing here?” He asked. I shook my head. I felt tears pooling into my eyes. I have never experienced such pleasure before in my life. He then lifted me up to the sink and unbuttoned my uniform as he kissed me. When he was finally able to remove my uniform, he started cupping my chest, fondling my breast making me groan in between kisses. “Do you like that?” He asked, biting my chin. His hair was wet with sweat, but instead of getting grossed out, I felt even more aroused. He looked so sexy as he stared at me with
I couldn’t breathe. The moment Azrael’s eyes met mine, everything around me seemed to disappear. The clinking of glasses. The soft music playing in the background. Even Kai’s voice gradually faded into nothing but meaningless noise. All I could see…was him. Something inside my chest tightened. “Cassie?” I blinked, finally looking away. Kai was looking at me with furrowed brows. “You’ve looked ashen, are you okay?” “I…” I immediately lowered my eyes, forcing out a smile. “Sorry.” “Are you okay?” “Y-Yes.” “You don’t look okay.” “I just…” I let out a small laugh that didn’t even sound convincing. “I suddenly remembered all the assignments due next week.&rdqu
